Chapter 485 The Son of Destruction and the Demonic Mentor
The story is divided into two parts. While the eldest prince Bjorn was being "tortured" by Rikka, Boom had also been hiding in the study with the second prince Umber for three days.
During this period, except for Rikka who would send some food and ale every day, no servants would approach him easily. Even the chief steward of the palace was no exception.
"Sir, this is already the fourth time. What on earth is Count Boom talking to Prince Umber? They can't finish the conversation in three days." The young attendant checked his companion's breathing, and after confirming that he was alive, he asked in a low voice.
Tao.
"I don't know, but it won't work like this. Prince Umber is no better than Prince Bjorn. He is just an ordinary person and cannot withstand such 'teaching'."
"You guys are watching here. I'm going to see Lord Ragnar. I have watched these two princes grow up. Even if I offend the king, I will get him to come and have a look."
The old butler stamped his feet, and then walked towards the main hall with a very ugly expression. He had always been extremely resistant to Boom and Rikka entering the palace, and they were absolutely not worthy of entering the Viking temple.
But at this time in the room, Boom and the second prince Umber were sitting across from each other by the fireplace. The former took a sip of wine and slowly spoke again.
"The Principality is just a big lie. The people who perform the most on the stage are not professionals, ordinary people, or the so-called peak people."
"All disputes are due to interests, all deaths are due to interests, and all behaviors that ordinary people cannot understand are also caused by interests."
"But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the existence of the major principalities that the entire world can survive to this day. Otherwise, all the land will be razed, and the ferocious beasts will become the masters again."
"It's just that as a superior, all you have to do is to continue this situation, with laws and orders as the basis, means as the axis, and decision-making as the guide."
Boom threw a piece of paper into the fireplace, and then looked directly at the second prince Umber, waiting for his rebuttal. Since the other prince was not a magician, his teaching method became a kind of indoctrination. p>
However, within these three days, Boom discovered that the other party's mind was far superior to that of his brother Bjorn. It is estimated that a pure IQ competition would surpass Rikka by several blocks.
However, he smelled a familiar smell from between the lines of the other person's words. That was his intuition as an orphan from Aogu City, and it was also his values.
But as a mentor, Boom cannot let the other person think that those thoughts are correct, even in his heart, those are the truth of the world.
"Mentor, I do not agree with your remarks. First of all, the Principality is not a big lie, but a farce that will never end."
"In this farce, the person in power is the director, and the professional professionals are the security guards. But thousands of ordinary people can only sit in their seats and can cheer or boo, but they cannot get up and leave.
”
"Second, whether it's war or killing, it's all to consolidate the power you already have, or to maximize this power."
"Although interests are the trigger, they are definitely not the origin. All creatures are born despicable, just like the 'Holy War' launched by King Fernando of August, and my father overthrew the rule of the old king Adrian many years ago."
"Third, the current situation of separate principalities is not the best choice for this world. The consequences of mutual hostility will only hinder development, block the circulation of goods, and block civilizational exchanges."
"As for the reason why this situation can be maintained to this day, it depends on the proficiency, or in other words, the absolute power of the peak experts in the major principalities."
"Fourth, regardless of the laws or means, the direction of the decision-making is to make the principality strong and prosperous. This is just like the abolition of the hereditary system of nobility by my father, which directly established his unquestionable dominance."
"Therefore, I believe that everything that is beneficial to the principality must be striven for. On the contrary, any stumbling blocks that hinder development must be removed ruthlessly."
As the second prince Umber spoke, he also imitated Boom and threw a few pieces of paper into the fireplace. He was always smiling and seemed to be very confident in his remarks. p>
But Boom's brows furrowed again. To be fair, he also agreed with the other party's point of view, and even had the illusion of meeting a close friend in a foreign land.
But the other party's remarks seemed a bit paranoid, with the reluctance of a hungry beast unable to sleep, and a hint of hatred.
Time began to flow again, and Boom changed the topic and talked about the situation in the major principalities. For a while, the two of them were going back and forth, and Boom showed a rare smile, and the second prince Umber even talked about it.
Talk.
Compared to Boom, the second prince Umber seemed more excited. Because he was born in the palace, and most of the Vikings were simple-minded roughnecks, so as an ordinary person, he never received the attention he deserved. p>
But because of Boom as his mentor, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope. It was a long-cherished wish buried deep in his heart, or a kind of cruelty.
However, just when the two were discussing the key point, the door to the room was slowly opened. Boom's face darkened, and the second prince Umber was even more angry.
"Haha, I heard that you have been staying here for three days. I happen to be free today, so..." the voice of Ragnar, the Lord of the frozen soil, sounded, and naturally the old housekeeper followed beside him.
As a father, he naturally has to care about his second son, even if he doesn't like him from the bottom of his heart. But what he responded to was neither Boom's compliment nor Ub's visit.
"Get out! Next one, die!" Boom slapped the ground, and then the black wooden staff appeared out of thin air. The actual magic power fluctuated wildly, and it actually blasted Ragna out of the room.
"You... how dare you attack the Lord of the frozen soil, damn the stranger, I will kill you today!" The old housekeeper caught Ragnar and then drew out the sword from his waist.
"Twelve consecutive bullets!" Boom ignored the other party from beginning to end, and didn't even bother to ask about his identity. He saw twelve fireballs turning him into ashes, and finally penetrated the opposite wall. p>
"Umber, if you don't like me as your mentor, then there's no need for me to waste my time here."
"Now your father and the housekeeper are examples, which not only prove my words, but also support your argument."
Boom put away the black wooden staff and looked at the second prince Umber calmly again. Umber looked at his father blankly, but finally lowered his head and picked up a piece of paper.
"Ogu King Fernando is a lion. He overthrew the old king and brought chaos to the major principalities. The establishment of the Secret Magic Fair became a link between him and the major foreign races." Uber said loudly.
"Why? What do you think the frozen continent can learn from? What is the origin of the idea of the Secret Magic Fair? What role do those peak experts play in this?"
"The Principality of Cisse is in opposition to it, and the Principality of Knight is its support. How should the relationship between the two get along?"
Boom asked the question again, without giving the other party any time to think. Umber held the quill, thought about it for a while, and then started talking.
Ragnar leaned against the wall, completely ignoring that his brocade robe was covered with dust and that it also stopped the footsteps of the principality's cavalry. A few minutes later, the Lord of the frozen soil left quietly, as if he had never been here today. p>
As for the old housekeeper, no one mentioned it again. An animal skin replaced the damaged door, and the debate between Boom and the second prince Umber sounded again, but this time no one dared to disturb it.
