"I believe in the guardians, because their prophecies do not come from themselves, but from our gods. And, combined with everything that has happened in Menes now, the invaders suddenly attack one day and want to destroy the world. It is not impossible. So... I will give you full trust and rights, and relatively speaking, each of you needs to do your best."

"The power of the royal family?"

Ivan felt that it was far from enough, hesitated for a moment, and decided to be blunt:

"The royal family and the priests hold the power of the holy scriptures and divine spells, dominate the world aloofly, and rely on blood to distinguish the superiors from ordinary people. This kind of rule has lasted for thousands of years, and it has finally come to an end now. Because not everyone who studies the holy scriptures All people can reach the level of your cousin, which is why we failed in the end."

The reason why the Menesian Empire has been able to survive for thousands of years, in the final analysis, is that only the royal family and priests have extraordinary power.Under the double restraint of power and religion, civilians have never had a chance to resist. They can neither practice holy scriptures nor study divine spells, so they can't even talk about changing dynasties.

Relying on this number of elites to suppress the natives is of course impenetrable.But against aliens who can send troops across planets, relying solely on the power of the royal family and the sacrificial group will never have a chance of winning.

In Ivan's view, if the Menesian Empire wants to turn around, it must liberate the working people, their minds, and their productive forces, so that they can gain strength by learning the knowledge of mechanical civilization.Only by giving full play to the industrial potential of the [-] million people and arming the entire empire with machinery will there be a chance to drive away the colonial army.

However, the impact of doing so would definitely be the complete disintegration of the situation in which the royal family and priests ruled the empire, and this was something that most vested interests did not want to see.

He didn't believe that with Ellum's intelligence, she would not have thought of this, but she was unwilling, or she still had illusions, trying to stay in the current ruling method and revive the empire by relying on the power of the royal family and priests.

"You mean to arm the civilians?"

Ai Luluomei held up the glass cup with one hand, looked down the texture of the cup surface, and asked seemingly casually.

"We have no choice. The mission of the royal family is not to rule for the sake of ruling. We have an obligation to restore the dignity and strength of this empire. It is worth losing some power for this." Ivan responded seriously.

"Do you know the risks of doing this?" There was a needle-like coldness in her eyes.

"Of course, you, me, and even the entire royal family are at risk of being sent to the gallows."

Ivan ignored the other party's expression at this time. He knew that the opportunity was rare, and he had already begun to confess his heart at this time:

"That's why this country needs a great helmsman. She has to reform the evils, but also balance the situation and maintain the operation of the empire. I understand your pain better than anyone, but I used to sit on the table and be slaughtered at the negotiating table, knowing we have no choice!"

"..."

After a long silence, Ellome raised her head, her eyes under the slender eyelashes were completely new, as if she was looking at a stranger who was equal to herself:

"You are right."

In the eyes of the princess, Ivan sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, straightened his waist, his silhouette was thin and hard, clearly wearing a dress, but he was as majestic as a warrior in iron armor.She had seen such a figure before, it was a warrior who looked at death as home, a warrior who could still maintain his fighting spirit and dignity in the face of himself who activated the Sun Mantra.

"In your opinion, where should we start...reform?"

"study!"

Yiwen replied without hesitation: "Send a study abroad team to the Federation to learn the most advanced mechanical civilization, bring them back, and spread them widely in our land."

"Will they be willing to teach?" Allure shook her head slightly.

"Even if we can't learn anything, we must learn about them."

He also felt that he couldn't learn anything real, at least he couldn't learn the core knowledge of mechanics, but even a little bit of superficial knowledge was a huge improvement for Menis.

At this moment, it started to rain outside the window, and a burst of dense raindrops hit the ground, Elleuromei turned her head to look at the hazy palace under the rain curtain outside the window.

"I will think about it."

She stood up holding her skirt and looked at him with a smile:

"In the future, I will draw up a list of study abroad and apply to the people in the consortium. If it is approved, the leader of the team, I hope it will be you."

"I will do my best!"

Ivan was overjoyed immediately, it was not in vain to see the appearance of interstellar civilization in his lifetime.

Chapter 38 Master

Xia Li ran to the door of the mirror corridor and tried to break in, but was quickly stopped by the guards.I could only squat depressed on the steps in front of the door, watching the rising sun gradually being swallowed up by the dark clouds, and the sky was drizzled with drizzle.Just when she counted the sixth silly bird flying across the sky, the sliding door opened with a bang, and Ivan and Ellome walked out of the hall of mirrors one after the other, and stopped at the end of the stairs.

"Cousin..."

The priest girl quickly stood up and turned her head, looked up at the tall 'witch', said hello timidly, and then turned her gaze to Ivan, her eyes were full of anticipation.

"This child seems to be wary of me... Forget it, time will clarify everything. Since you don't like this place, you can take her away."

Elulomei stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at her, her two long temples hanging from her ears to her chest swaying gently in the breeze.She stood gracefully like a plane tree, her snow-white dress seemed to melt away the haze, and brighten up the slightly dark corridor.

"So farewell."

Ivan bid her farewell politely, walked down the stairs, took the stiff hand of the priest girl, and turned to the corridor leading to the outer court.

"..."

Watching the backs of the two go away until they disappeared from the field of vision, Ellome slowly lowered her head, sighed softly, and glanced to one side with complicated eyes:

"Is that the look at humans? It's clearly the look at unknown creatures. What did Ozymandis instill in her!?"

--------

The carriage drove through the drizzled streets, and the morning sun squeezed out half of the head through the gaps in the dark clouds. The light filled the clouds, forming a spectacle of red clouds all over the sky.

Xia Li leaned on Ivan's shoulders, her body swayed slightly with the wheels, and the sunlight passed through the car window and draped over her white skirt and short hair, making her restless mind slightly calm.

"Why are you so afraid of her?"

He combed her hair with his fingers, and asked inexplicably.

"I do not know either……"

The priest girl shook her head, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, she subconsciously curled her body tightly, and leaned into the opponent's arms:

"Actually, I know that the high priest... No... What the traitor told me is all false and fabricated. But facing her, I still feel very scared... An indescribable feeling. That feeling, just It's like my body takes precedence over my consciousness, and the instinctive response...is very special."

"Could it be a factor in the holy scriptures of the underworld?"

Ivan hugged her petite body, connected with the situation of the two, and patiently analyzed:

"Although there is a concept of unity of light and darkness in theology, in fact, no one can achieve it. On the contrary, it is normal for the forces of light and darkness to conflict with each other. Perhaps when the two forces approach each other, they will instinctively repel each other. Her body The power of light is too strong, and your power of the nether world is very weak in comparison, so this instinctive sense of fear appears."

"It seems...that's what happened."

She nodded and slowly closed her eyes in the bumps.

"Brother Wang...cousin...what kind of person is she?"

The moment she closed her eyes, everything about Ellome in the memory of the priest girl formed a picture of a very different style, and the chaos of confrontation spread out in her mind.

"I do not know either."

Ivan shook his head lightly, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the Wangting that was fading away:
