Chapter 685 The King Who Doesn’t Understand People’s Hearts
Snowflakes fell on Xia Feng's shoulders piece by piece, and he was stunned when he looked at the endless people in the wilderness.
Gusts of cold wind blew through the wilderness, but people relying on each other would not feel the cold.
Even in this desperate world, even if you are sleeping rough and suffering from illness, as long as you are still alive and can think, the scale in everyone's heart will not be unbalanced.
Victoria can accept infected people to live, but it does not allow infected people to become citizens of Victoria. In the eyes of the nobles and high-ranking empire officials, infected people are tools of labor.
However, the hearts of the people are mutual.
Being unable to become a citizen of Victoria means that the imperial power of Victoria is very dim in the hearts of the infected.
If it is to survive, they can endure it.
But if faced with life and death, they would not hesitate to abandon the imperial power that had been squeezing them, and choose to save the person who paid silently regardless of reward.
Seeing these infected people who were obviously in pain but still waiting in the wind and snow, Xia Feng suddenly realized.
It turned out that, unknowingly, he had won something that could not be exchanged with any amount of money and power, and that was people's hearts.
Pushing the car, Xia Feng walked out with the Shenyue Sword.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, everyone in Black Feather immediately relaxed their brows, and Ifrit happily stood on the hood of the car and waved to him.
"Wow, Yo-Yo, you're finally out!"
Aguang excitedly ran to the side of the road and shouted loudly to the crowd gathered.
"Xia Feng is back!"
Upon hearing the news, the tide surged.
"ah!!!!!!!"
Earth-shaking sounds erupted in the boundless crowd, and the sound waves went up to the sky like mountains and tsunami.
The Central Army, facing a formidable enemy, was shaken by the sound and clenched its saber. This cry was even more terrifying than the war cry when the two armies faced each other.
When facing a desperate situation and the will of a "population" condenses together, the power that bursts out will have the power to overturn the situation.
At this time, Xia Feng recognized many of the faces standing at the front of the crowd of infected people. Although he couldn't call them by name, he remembered that these people had all come to Black Feather BBQ Restaurant to suppress the mineral disease.
He didn't think too much at the time. The weight of money was as light as a feather in his heart. If he could help infected people like him, he felt that it would also change the world.
But now, he was saved by these people whom he had accidentally saved.
Xia Feng raised his head and looked at the gray sky, then he gently closed his eyes.
Snowflakes fell on the corners of his eyes, making them wet.
His enemies wanted him dead, but he was still alive. From this moment on, he was completely disillusioned with this decadent empire.
When Xia Feng opened his eyes again, there was no trace of sadness in them.
He turned back and took a deep look at the huge city of Londinium behind him.
"Vina, according to the agreement with Her Royal Highness, I will come back in 10 days. Before I come back, you must take care of yourself."
Wei Na looked at the densely packed infected in the wilderness with complicated eyes and pursed her lips.
"Summer breeze."
"Stop talking, don't worry, I won't be impulsive."
"kindness."
"Goodbye, I'm going home now."
Xia Feng escaped from Londinium and returned to the south that belonged to him.
After returning to the barbecue restaurant, he learned from everyone what happened in the past few days.
5 days ago.
The night after he was taken away from the Royal Academy by the Inspectorate, the news was sent back to the Black Feather Headquarters, and it was Vina who informed him of this news.
After learning that he had been captured, Nanfeng also led people from Notting City. After everyone discussed it, they immediately prepared to go to the north to rescue him.
But fortunately, Vina stopped everyone in time.
However, at the same time that the news spread back to the barbecue restaurant, there were seven or eight infected people coming from other places to be restrained by Dr. Kane.
They present also knew about Xia Feng's capture.
Although these people do not know Xia Feng, they know that Xia Feng is the leader of Black Feather.
The next day, the news of the arrest of Black Feather's leader spread in Hapi City. That afternoon, all the infected people in several nearby big cities knew about it.
On the third day, almost the entire infected circle in the south knew about this. For the infected, if Black Feather fell, their last hope of survival would also be shattered.
Even if Black Feather cannot suppress every infected person in Victoria, the significance of its existence is far greater than its actual medical capabilities.
Infected people from various cities and villages spontaneously gathered together and rushed to northern Londinium through various means. Their identities were unable to enter the city, so they could only wait in the wilderness outside the city.
At first, the garrison guarding the city did not pay attention to these sick and infected people, but as time passed, the wind direction began to be unusual.
On the fourth day, almost all infected people in Victoria knew about it.
Like the center of a huge whirlpool, infected people from all over the country began to gather in Londinium.
It wasn't until the fifth day, that is, after Xia Feng's trial began.
The total number of infected people gathered outside Londinium City has exceeded the entire strength of the Central Army, and judging from the total number of infected people in Victoria, this is just a drop in the bucket.
The Central Army responded quickly, and the two divisions were immediately mobilized outside the city.
However, these infected people who gathered did not fight, smash, or rob, and they did not even bring weapons. They just stood quietly in the wilderness, waiting for someone to appear.
In this case, the Central Army cannot intervene and can only be vigilant.
Because they had no reason to suppress, and unless more troops were mobilized, they would not have the ability to suppress such a large number of people.
After knowing the whole story, Xia Feng fell into deep thought.
Miracles require a price, and in exchange, they should be the most important things to you. The reason why you think so is because "King Arthur" doesn't understand people's hearts.
However, he is not "King Arthur", and he also knows that Princess Vereen is not either.
It wasn't until this moment that Xia Feng truly understood what Wei Lin's intentions were.
Even if he was overwhelmed by tens of thousands of infected people, Verin could still kill him in Londinium City. Perhaps the gathering of infected people was the best reason to kill him.
This was the right choice that the "King who doesn't understand people's hearts" would make, but with Wei Lin's wisdom, she saw Victoria after killing him.
Over the past few years, Victoria has accepted infected people from all over the world. On the surface, these infected people live and work peacefully in Victoria, but in fact, the unfair treatment they have encountered has accumulated in their hearts.
However, there is no outlet for these backlogs, or in other words, there is no one to open the valve.
Of course Verin can kill him, but the millions of infected people in Victoria will not disappear because of his death. In the long course of history, the birth of "leaders" will occur in places that are out of sight.
And Verin can't guarantee whether the next "leader" born will be as sensible as him, or in other words, Verin can't guarantee whether the next person born will be "Tallulah".
Of course, Verin had no idea who Tallulah was. These three words did not represent a person, but the guidance of hatred and the catharsis of the extreme emotions of the infected.
Princess Verin was worried that he would become "Tallulah", and at the same time she was afraid that the real "Tallulah" would appear after killing him. Therefore, Verin, who inherited the [wisdom] of the previous king, confidently chose a tall Risk-high-reward approach.
Vaelin made him a bridge between the Empire and the Infected, since he was both an Infected and a noble.
Since you can't control the infected, then control the person who can control the infected.
With this kind of confidence and control over people's hearts, it is estimated that only Wei Lin in the world has the ability and courage to do it.
But unfortunately, she found the wrong person.
Because the person she found was someone who looked at the world from outside this world as an infected person.
