It seemed very strange among a group of teenagers and girls in their teens and twenties.
His face is sharp and angular, like an ancient Greek sculpture, full of masculine beauty. The robe he is wearing is embellished with golden threads, making him even more unique. His hair is slightly gray, and his eyes contain deep will.
, like a black hole, those who look at it can easily sink into it and be unable to extricate themselves.
"saint......"
Lu Tiao murmured softly.
"Saints will not be troubled by nucleosis. Their life spans even exceed those of normal people. It is normal to be several hundred years old. This is the saint Plato who has lived for more than a hundred years. He is about to abdicate."
Du Danping explained from the side.
"Is he dying?"
Lu Tan asked subconsciously.
"It can be said that although the human body can live forever with the blessing of extraordinary power, the human spirit cannot achieve this. I believe that as the chosen one, you also know it very well."
Du Danping gave Lu Tan a meaningful look.
"Even if you strengthen your body through various means, your spirit and reason cannot become stronger. They are like consumables. They will only gradually wear out, corrode, and eventually become alienated day after day, turning you into a monster. The same goes for saints.
Same."
"They were eroded by power during their long lives, and eventually their will gradually collapsed. Being able to live for more than a hundred years is considered a long life. If this continues, even saints will fall into madness, and eventually be rejected by Utopia and fall."
"So, in order to allow himself to die as a human being, he chose to abdicate and pass on the name of the saint to his successor."
He turned his attention to the saint, and then brought Lu Jiao and Feng Yu to the other party.
Plato was communicating with another man who looked quite old and seemed to be a saint. When he saw Du Danping, he kindly interrupted the current conversation and looked this way.
"Mr. Du, your music is really a comforting force in this dark world. I am deeply moved."
Plato praised.
"Thank you very much. I just accidentally listened to the melodies hidden in the wind and copied them out."
Du Danping responded and signaled to Lu Tan and Feng Yu.
"These two are my friends, Lu Tan and Feng Yu."
Plato followed Du Danping's hand and looked at the two of them. His eyes swept over Feng Yu and stayed on Lu Tiao for a long time before making a sound.
"Young and promising, young and promising."
"Mr. Plato, regarding what I mentioned before..."
Du Danping quickly got to the point again.
"I know that for the current Utopia, exploring ruins and discovering old civilizations can indeed bring huge rewards. Personally, I also support this, but Utopia is not my Utopia alone. We must
Respect everyone’s will.”
Plato said.
"Even if that leads to the destruction of the city?"
Lu Tan suddenly said, causing Plato and the saint beside him to look at him.
"Even if this happens, it is the people's choice."
Plato sighed and said quietly.
"The Utopia does not exist because of its existence, but for its ideals. If one day, the city can only be saved by relying on personal power and tyranny, then surely by that time, the Utopia will also be in pieces and lose its current status.
name."
"You mean, even if the people choose the path of retreat and isolation, which will eventually lead to the city being submerged in the yellow sand, is it still a utopian choice?"
Feng Yu asked.
"You can understand it this way, because this is a utopia, not an eternal city or an eternal city, but an ideal city."
Plato explained.
"As a saint and a saint of Utopia, I inherit the will of this place, so what I abide by is democracy and justice. If you can convince the majority of the people and the extraordinary people in the Senate, then the path forward for Utopia will be
It will also be the direction of the college.”
"I see."
Feng Yu did not continue to discuss this topic. She looked at each other with Lu Tan, said goodbye to Plato, and went to a corner of the banquet hall, leaving Du Danping to continue communicating with the two.
"It seems like this city doesn't prioritize survival."
Feng Yu commented.
"Rather, it exists only to demonstrate its rules."
Lu Jian said.
Obviously, judging from Plato's words, he quite abides by the rules of Utopia, and even these rules override the future of Utopia.
There are two possibilities, either, if everyone in Utopia violates its rules, the city will cease to exist in the physical sense and suffer backlash.
Either Plato had other ideas in mind and used the rules of Utopia to reject Du Danping.
The two of them were discussing when suddenly, Lu Jian saw the man who was with Plato walking towards them.
"You two, do you have time?"
The other party asked politely.
Lu Tan nodded, and the other person sat down opposite him and Feng Yu, holding a glass of honey bug wine in his hand.
"Let me introduce myself first. As you can see, I am a saint who has inherited the name of Hippocrates. As a member of the Senate, I find your performance just now very interesting."
The middle-aged man smiled.
His appearance is more mediocre, his hair is slightly curly, and his robe is only decorated with silver threads, which shows that he is different from Plato.
"Hippocrates..."
Lu Tan felt that the name sounded familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it before.
"I'm just an insignificant doctor. Compared with other colleagues, I can only provide support from behind. I can't even cure nucleosis."
Hippocrates sighed.
Indeed, in this era, the role of doctors is quite small. Even if they have extraordinary powers, they can only watch people of their own generation pass away without being able to do anything.
In the wasteland, many diseases have long been extinct. Under normal circumstances, there are very few opportunities for doctors to come in handy.
"I don't belong to a certain camp, but when I was young, I mean about thirty years ago, I studied in the academy for a period of time. After learning about the situation in the Promised Land, I also very much hoped that Utopia could send
We have no human power to explore, but it’s a pity that Plato cannot go against the will of Utopia, and we are just nestlings under the protection of this city.”
Hippocrates sighed.
"It seems that Utopia's will is overriding all of you."
Feng Yu noticed something that both he and Plato mentioned.
"It's like...this thing actually exists."
"Of course, that's why I'm looking for you."
Hippocrates' voice deepened.
"I want you to help us break through our utopian will and get out of this city."
