"I didn't know you were so pessimistic. Even if you are as powerful as Saturday, is there anything you can't do?" Cornelia raised her eyebrows.
"This is not pessimism, but pragmatism." Li Yu replied, "In addition, this has nothing to do with the strength of divine power, it is just...the objective law of things.
"We are mortals with inherent flaws. We will be dominated by desires and are destined to be unable to live in an ideal land. If we cannot recognize this, we will be swallowed up by disappointment and anger."
"So, Prophet Merlin, you have similar views to those of the Beast God Cult. They both believe that the world is a cruel ice field, and only the most powerful beasts can survive, while only slavery and death await the weak."
"You have misunderstood me. I am not a Darwinist. Well, or to put it another way, I believe in the strong as a cult like the Beast God.
"In fact, on the contrary, I have always had great respect for those who have lofty ideals, sympathize with the weak, and want to change the world.
"It's just that you don't believe that we will succeed." The priestess sighed.
"Is this important?"
Seeing Cornelia's frown, Li Yu explained, "Most people in this world can only passively adapt to the environment. They are either completely tamed by the environment because they have tasted the benefits, or they have ideals but no ability to act.
"Only a very, very small number of people have firm beliefs and are able to put them into action.
"Regardless of whether they succeed in the end, their existence has affected the world and made it a little closer to their ideal world. I think this is enough."
This was the first time that the female lord saw the priestess move.
Cornelia was silent for an extra long time, seeming to be thinking about what Li Yu had just said. After a long time, she bowed slightly and said, "I have learned a lesson."
"You're welcome." Li Yu returned the courtesy.
"But I still don't think my ideal will fail." The priestess then added.
Li Yu stopped arguing and just said, "Then let time answer."
The priestess nodded, "I take back what I said before, it seems we still have a lot in common.
"It's a pity that the paths we have chosen are different. I still can't understand why you and your gods have such a strong obsession with rest."
"I'm also surprised that you are so popular among the nobles, but you actually choose to side with the common people."
"Because life is equal to everyone." Cornelia repeated the words she said when she met Li Yu for the first time.
"I need power to help me achieve this, just as you also choose your monarch."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yin Leya, "This is really an interesting choice, but I think I'm starting to understand why you chose her."
After Cornelia finished speaking, without waiting for Li Yu to reply, she continued, "I have finished asking my questions, and it's time for me to leave.
"The game of thrones has begun. I hope we won't become enemies when we meet again next time."
The priestess dropped her last words, put on her cloak, and left the inn.
Miss Rabbit was still confused. Although she had been listening when Li Yu and Cornelia were chatting, she honestly didn't understand much because the content was a bit obscure.
I just vaguely felt that the two seemed to be fighting, and it seemed that Li Yu was winning.
I thought that Saturday and its spokesperson in the world were indeed as unrivaled as ever.
Yin Leya took out the packaged dolphin patties and asked Li Yu, "Do you want to have some?"
"No, thank you." Li Yu declined.
Miss Rabbit stood in front of the window, eating meat pie while looking at Cornelia's retreating back and said to herself, "Strange, why do I think she doesn't seem so hateful anymore."
"Obviously she sent people to harass me when I first came to the royal capital, and her followers even wanted to kill me."
"Because in the end it was you who won the contest and killed the Earth Bear with your own hands."
"Ha, you're right." Thinking of the Earth Bear whose head she had chopped off, the female lord felt refreshed. Sure enough, if you want to laugh away your grudges, the easiest way is to kill your opponent directly.
, and then all the anger disappeared.
The female lord went to the Finance Minister Silen early the next morning and asked when she could receive her championship prize.
However, with the successful coronation of the new emperor, the imperial meeting became extremely busy. Yin Leiya waited outside the King's Landing Tower for almost two hours before Sillon came out, and the latter quickly got into his carriage.
inside.
Upon seeing this, the female lord stepped forward quickly, but was stopped by Sillon's guards.
Fortunately, Xierlen heard the noise outside and looked out the car window. Seeing that he was the new champion, he asked the guards to let him over.
However, after hearing the purpose of the female lord's visit, she shook her head.
"Since the prize was decided by the late Emperor, it will definitely be delivered to you in the end, but it's hard to say when.
"Do you know how many urgent matters have to be dealt with at the imperial meeting now? Those who hand out prizes can only go to the back of the queue first. Don't worry."
Miss Rabbit thought that the Finance Minister said this because he wanted money just like Geoff.
So he was cruel, took out a small cowhide bag from his arms, and secretly handed it over.
Xierlen took the cowhide bag, opened it, and found that it contained gold coins. He didn't count them, but he estimated there were about a hundred coins.
The finance minister was speechless and pushed the bag back.
The female lord said cautiously, "Do you think it's too little? Then... I'll give you two more pieces of dragon's blood?"
"I am in charge of the empire's finances and taxes, do you think I will be short of money?" Xierlen glanced at the girl.
"The empire's money is not your own," said Miss Rabbit, "Besides, no one would have too much money."
"…………"
Xierlen shook his head, "I can't ask for this money. You should wait for the prize. I will inform you as soon as there is any news."
"Okay." Miss Rabbit put the cowhide bag back and was about to leave when she heard the Finance Minister cough again.
"Where are the two pieces of dragon's blood?"
The female lord's eyes widened, isn't it? You are already so old, are you still so enthusiastic about that kind of thing?!
But then I thought about it, maybe it was because I was getting older that I became more and more eager for the dragon's blood.
Although the Golden Fleece Merchant had previously resold a batch of dragon blood to the royal capital, the quantity was limited after all, and there were more wolves and less meat. As a result, the dignified finance minister did not have much inventory, so he had to ask Miss Rabbit for it.
But the problem is that this old fox only wants to get benefits and doesn't want to do anything.
Miss Rabbit felt that even if she gave him the dragon's blood, she wouldn't be able to get the bonus quickly, so she lied that she didn't have the magic medicine anymore and had to wait until Merlin came to ask Merlin for it, and then send it to Sillon's mansion later.
Then she went to visit the second prince Claudio, because Yin Leiya remembered that Claudio once said that as long as he could help him kill the Earth Bear, he could go to him for help with anything in the future. Scan the code to download the newcomer.
