How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 335: Collecting the Net (Part 2)

There were several crisp knocks on the door.

Dorgon at the desk looked up, and then set his eyes on the terminal in front of him again.

come in.

Master Dorgon.

The one who came in was a maid who saluted Dorgon very respectfully.

What's the matter? Dorgon asked without moving his eyes.

Master has something to look for you.

Dorgon froze, looked up at the maid in surprise, and asked.

Did you say something about me?

No, the master just came to ask me to find you.

Understood, I'll go there now.

Dorgon waved his hand, turned off the terminal casually, got up and left.

Guided by the maid, Dorgon came to the study where his father was.

Before bringing Dagon to the door of this study, the maid bowed to Dagon and turned to leave.

Dorgon, who was at the door, hesitated for a while, and opened the door of the study.

Father.

Dagon, who entered the room, spoke first.

There you are, Dorgon.

An elderly Serene looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows looked back at Dorgon.

What do you want from me?

follow me.

The old Serene didn't say much, but went straight to a bookshelf, turned on the mechanism, and the bookshelf automatically opened to both sides, and a passage appeared in front of Dorgon who was a little stunned.

Dorgon didn't know about this passage, and he believed that many people in the family certainly didn't know about it either.

The elderly Serene didn't say much, and walked into the passage opened by the bookshelf first, and motioned Dorgon to follow.

Inside the passage is a long corridor. Portraits are hung neatly and symmetrically on both sides of the corridor. Although Dorgon focused most of his attention on his father, he still couldn't help observing these portraits from the corner of his eye.

These people in the portraits were unknown to Dorgon. These people wore different clothes, some were tattered, some were old and barren, some were bright and beautiful, and some were wearing royal robes.

Walking along the way, the elderly Serene didn't look back, but it seemed that he had eyes that opened up to the sky behind him. Knowing that Dorgon was looking at the portrait in the corridor, he leisurely opened his mouth to introduce.

These are the portraits of the sages of our royal family. After the patriarch of each generation of the royal family takes over, they will be required to leave portraits and hang them in this passage. Only the patriarch is allowed to enter this place.

Patriarch?

Dorgon's heart moved slightly, since his father brought him here, that is to say, he intends to hand over the position of Patriarch to me?

Thinking of this, Dorgon remained calm on the surface, but his heart was no longer as calm as before.

At this time, Dorgon didn't notice that the old father walking in front of him, the head of the royal family, looked a little thinner than before.

The head of the royal family asked, Dorgon, how long is our family history? Tell me.

From now on, our family has almost five thousand years of history.

Quickly cleared up his joyful mood, perhaps because Dorgon himself didn't notice that he was about to succeed as Patriarch, and his tone was a little more flattering than usual.

They had come to the end of the passage at this time, it was a magnificent inner room, there were many items, some were armor, some were books, there were also cold weapons, or a broken bowl, they were carefully placed It is placed in this place for safekeeping, and it is a relic of the family heads of the past generations.

Seeing these dazzling items, the Patriarch of the Royal Family sighed, feeling very melancholy, and slowly talking about it, as if it was his own memory.

That's right, five thousand years. In these five thousand years, we have seen a lot and experienced a lot. It's not easy to just go through ups and downs.

There were times when we were officials for generations, there were grand occasions when we were engaged in business for generations, and there were periods of poverty and struggle for generations when we endured hunger and starvation. We also experienced several family massacres, but we survived all of them, and our blood continues to this day. , Looking at the history of the Serene people, no family can continue the family history for such a long time like ours.

Our family is a family favored by the gods. Every time there is a crisis, there will always be a strong person who can take on the heavy responsibility, so that the family can continue. Now, a new crisis has appeared in the family... Do you have anything to say about this? ?”

Dorgon didn't hear his father's tone of voice. He was wrong in his judgment from the very beginning, and he misunderstood what he wanted to express when he asked, thinking that his father wanted to ask him about his thoughts on becoming the head of the family.

So Dorgon replied.

I will be the strong enough to take on the heavy responsibility.

However, in the next second, an alarm shattered Dorgon's dream. He glanced around in astonishment, and found that his father in front of him had turned into a phantom.

Stereoscopic projection? !

In the inner room, many organs were activated at this moment, and the activation was unstoppable. Countless black spheres were launched, and they stuck to Dorgon, blocking his actions, and he became unable to move.

The virtual image of the head of the royal family reappeared. He looked down at the fallen Dagon and shook his head in disappointment.

Now it seems that you are not.

Brought disaster to the family, Dorgon, you are not a strong man but a traitor. Unfortunately, you will be a buffoon who will be cast aside in the future.

Dorgon, who was told by his father, immediately understood everything, and already understood that everything he had done had been exposed.

But still no remorse in his heart, he yelled.

No! I'm not wrong! It's you who betrayed the family! It's not me! Everything I do is to defend the honor of the family! You cowards who are greedy for life and fear of death are shameful traitors and should be cast aside!

Thousands of years ago! It was because of you cowards who voluntarily handed over the rights of the empire and let the first head of state appear! The royal family is on the verge of decline! The owner of the empire should be our royal family! It should not be some head of state!

That's right, thousands of years ago, the empire belonged to the royal family. It was the royal family that established the constitutional monarchy system, so the head of state appeared, and the power was transferred to the head of state peacefully to complete the change. Because of this, the empire defeated all countries and became The only government agency on the planet.

This can be said to be a success, but in Dorgon's view, it is an extremely failure, extremely helpless, and extremely sad.

Is this where your obsession lies? asked the head of the royal family.

The change of power is inevitable in history. It is unchangeable and helpless to replace a backward system with a better system. The result of disobedience to the natural process is to face the fate of destruction. Our family understands this and continues to the present , why don't you understand, Dorgon.

History is always right! Because the strong are always right! I know this very well! Father, you will come to beg me soon! I firmly believe it!
