Alien Knights

Climbing to the highest peak of the holy mountain, these visitors from Muxi City found that the original colorful dragon had disappeared, and there was only a lone human standing there quietly waiting for them.

Walking through the thick fog, Emerson saw clearly the familiar face in front of him. While his uneasy emotions settled down, he was also a little excited inside.

His Majesty……

Todd looked at these people with a smile, nodded and said: It seems that only a few of you have made it to the end.

Terrence sighed: Along the way, the many worlds in heaven have infinite attraction for others.

Elijah's face was full of pious yearning, and he couldn't wait to ask: Is this the center of heaven, the center of all things?

Todd beckoned, and the rocks on the top of the mountain began to deform and rise, gradually turning into stone chairs.

He sat down on a chair and said to everyone: If you have faith in your heart, then anywhere will be the center of the universe.

Aisha, with red eyes, walked slowly in front of Todd, and said softly, My father?

Todd looked at the female pirate with different pupils, and shook his head: The trial of the soul has its rules. When the accumulation of evil deeds exceeds the impact of good deeds, hell will be the only destination for the interrogated... Even if this There are legitimate and perfect reasons for man's evil deeds, and this is not an excuse for him to enter heaven.

Aisha stood in front of Todd, closed her eyes and said tremblingly, My father, will he suffer in hell forever?

When he truly sees the crimes caused by killing and tyranny, and repents for it, his soul will have a chance to redeem his sins. However, at present, he will stay in hell for a long time middle.

Aisha let out a sigh of relief: I understand. There is one last question. I am here, can I see my mother?

Todd was slightly taken aback, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, Aisha, I'm afraid you won't be able to see her now...

Disappointment appeared on Ayesha's face, she said nothing, and slowly retreated to the rear.

In the crowd, Edgar and Jerry, the brothers and sisters who have been with Todd since the monastery, seemed to have something to say, but they didn't know how to bring it up. Scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

Todd noticed them, smiled and said, What do you want to ask?

Edgar and Jerry looked at each other, and the former asked submissively in a low voice: Your Majesty...I mean the Holy King, you should actually be the one in the Bible...?

Todd didn't answer his question directly, but said lightly: The name is just a symbol, and the identity is just the so-called definition, these are not important.

Edgar had a sudden realization expression on his face, and then he winked at Todd with a look of understanding.

Beside the two, Karin Foreman stood there alone, looking at Todd secretly, as if there were thousands of words in his mouth, but he still didn't know how to speak.

Looking at the girl whom he knew first and who opened his heart to him first, Todd took a step closer to her, only to find that the former kept backing away like a frightened little animal. Ruowu sigh.

Emerson looked at Todd, and said with some embarrassment: Your Majesty...what should I call you...?

As I said, names and identities are just symbols and don't matter.

Emerson glanced back at those followers, collected himself, took two steps towards Todd, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: I have a question, you are in the computer of every soul meeting, What is the connection between the displayed world called Earth and the heaven in front of us?

Todd was a little surprised that Emerson asked such a question, but he answered it with a nod.

The earth I come from is a completely strange and independent space for you. As a member of that world, I can create, manage and expand an endless space with my own power. To contain the souls of all creatures in this world.

Emerson chewed on Todd's words carefully, and said thoughtfully: So, you are from the earth, and you already have the power to create a heaven for the soul in this world... Do you know? What you are doing now Everything is the responsibility of the gods in the Bible!

Todd waved his hand and interrupted Emerson with a smile: This is not my intention, do you remember the conversation between you and me?

Recalling the conversation about monarchism when we first met, Emerson nodded.

Todd said: If the monarch only relies on his reputation and skills to rule his kingdom, once the monarch dies, if the successor cannot guarantee that he has the corresponding ability and quality, it is very likely that the entire kingdom will be brought into endless turmoil. .”

Emerson agreed: It is true that a wise monarch can bring peace to the kingdom for decades, but this is not a long-term solution after all.

Todd continued: Next, we discussed the road to democracy. Distribute power to the people, let everyone make plans for the kingdom and plan for the future together. But now it seems that this road is not good. choose.

Emerson sighed softly: I am also responsible for the turmoil in Muxi City. If I can convince the people, those ambitious people will never have the opportunity to cause chaos.

No, that turmoil has nothing to do with you. The people who are really responsible are all the people in Muxi Kingdom.

Todd shook his head helplessly: For the road to democracy, you and I have made a common mistake.

mistake?

We have greatly overestimated human nature.

Emerson frowned, expressing puzzlement.

Todd explained: The premise of putting power in the hands of every citizen and allowing them to exercise powers such as elections and decision-making is that all citizens must be completely rational people.

A rational person?

When I say rational people, I mean those citizens who are not only selfish, but must also be completely rational. When faced with a choice, they will consider the consequences of actions for themselves, and implement actions that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Emerson blinked half-understanding.

However, a rational person is the most ideal assumption. In actual situations, there is no way for every individual human being to make an absolutely rational choice.

Todd wrenched his fingers and explained to Emerson: First, a rational person must have a very complete knowledge of the decision-making object. For example, in this cabinet election in Muxi City, citizens who voted should have a good understanding of the economy, military, People's livelihood, diplomacy and other fields have a certain amount of knowledge and understanding, but in fact, many people will only follow suit and don't understand these details at all. Therefore, this gave Rutledge an opportunity to use Secretly changing concepts and distorting the original meaning have incited many people.

Secondly, a rational person must have a clear rationality and clear preferences in terms of logical thinking. This is also easy to understand. Citizens participating in voting should have independent thinking personalities and strong computing power. A candidate's situation can be systematically analyzed to determine the best candidate. But the reality is that the vast majority of Muxi citizens follow others' opinions during elections, often because of a few words from others , Even a small gift changed the original intention and ended up voting by mistake.”

Hearing this, Emerson nodded with a wry smile and said, Holy King, if all of what you said can be realized, then there is nothing wrong with the kingdom being managed by these rational people. But how can the citizens become rational? What about people? Through education? Propaganda?

Todd shook his head lightly and said: No matter how the society progresses and the quality of citizens improves, it is impossible for rational people to achieve normalization.

Because human beings have strong emotions and complex preferences, they are very susceptible to external influences when making decisions; when analyzing, there will also be misjudgments and decision-making due to personal experience and professional fields. Mistakes... Therefore, letting rational people realize democracy is itself a road that is difficult to achieve.

Emerson looked very disappointed: According to your point of view, the dictatorship of the monarchy and the co-governance of the citizens are both unworkable, so how should the future of Muxi City be realized?

Todd raised his hand, pointed to the beautiful scenery in front of him, and said to Emerson with a smile: The answer is in heaven.
