Chapter 173 What kind of bad thoughts can Annan have?
Everyone in the Silver Brigade.
Except for Lucia, who had already guessed it.
Others' backs were suddenly soaked with cold sweat.
"...It's just a little bit close."
Ao Feishi took a deep breath: "It's okay, it's okay..."
He was obviously the last to be afraid.
If Ingrid's conspiracy succeeds, then he will undoubtedly share the blame!
Not only did it destroy the Sky Cart's ascension, putting the future of this world in the hands of a person with ulterior motives; it also allowed him to unite with the Principality of Winter, thus cutting off Denisoya's future of revival; even Selicia might
There will be danger!
As a consumable for the ceremony, it is not impossible for Selicia to disappear out of thin air!
"……It was my fault."
Therefore, Ofesi did not hesitate and immediately bowed her head to Arthur and apologized: "I'm sorry, Arthur. I was too impatient before..."
"No need to apologize to me."
After the quarrel ended, Arthur quickly calmed down and shook his head: "I was also at fault. No, it was more my fault. What I said before was not an objective and rational point of view, but was mixed with feelings towards you.
Jealousy and prejudice... It's because I don't like you in the first place, and that's why I find trouble and quarrel with you.
"And I don't just want to argue with you...but what you say seems cool and flattering. That's why I want to expose your true nature and make people hate you..."
The "people" here obviously refer specifically to Selicia.
Arthur has no real "love" for Selicia.
But he has an exclusive desire for Selicia, and this desire is constantly being catalyzed by the close relationship between Orpheus and Selicia.
And the good-tempered Aoifeshi uncharacteristically had a fierce quarrel with him precisely because she felt threatened by Arthur.
But once this impulsive emotion fades away, rationality returns...
Then Arthur and Orpheus immediately realized the immaturity of their behavior and began to apologize to each other.
Different from Euphemia.
Neither of them are stubborn people.
Once I realized that I had made a mistake and that I had been taken advantage of, I immediately admitted my mistake.
Indeed, they have accumulated a lot of conflicts. But it is always personal resentment and their private matter. If the conflicts between them are exploited by others, then they will inevitably unite to defeat the common enemy first.
Not so much a love rival.
It's better to say they are old enemies.
It is precisely because their personalities, hobbies, pursuits, and even origins and positions are completely opposite that they are so incompatible. It is also because of this that they can understand each other so well.
Because the person who knows them best is their biggest enemy, that is, the other party.
As they began to honestly conduct self-analysis and self-criticism, the previously tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.
"Since you have decided not to argue...can I say a few words?"
Annan asked from the side.
Ofishi bowed her head respectfully to Annan, and as the heir of "Denisoya", she saluted the Archduke Annan, who was much younger than him.
But Arthur just turned around calmly, pursed his lips, crossed his arms and nodded to Annan.
"The most fundamental conflict between you two...is none other than Selicia. But Selicia is a living person. Who she loves is her business. Her will will not be affected by the duel, status, victory or defeat between you.
Change.
"Except for Selicia, the rest is the conflict of positions caused by your origins.
"Ophelia, as Denisoja, hopes to free the royal power from the shackles of Denisoja's Privy Council and allow the kingdom to operate normally again, instead of having the entire country secretly divided up by 'advisors' with different positions.
"And Arthur's fundamental reason is that he is confident in his own talents, which leads to his distrust of Orpheus. In his words, he did not think that those nobles must exist, nor did he oppose the return to monarchy.
And what I am dissatisfied with... is that I think Ao Feishi is not worthy of being this person, right?"
After listening to Annan's summary, the two were silent for a while, and then nodded to Annan one after another. They recognized Annan's analysis.
"Then, I have a bold proposal."
Annan said slowly: "You know the special management method of the Theocracy. The so-called 'Pure Hall'... seven popes take turns to serve as popes to exercise dictatorship.
"Then, Denisoya can follow a similar model... composed of the Pope as the patron saint of Yawen, King Denisoya as the representative of royal power, and the Lava Forbidden Tower as the representative of the extraordinary forces and the mediator of extraordinary conflicts.
Lord of the Tower, the three of them are in charge of the entire United Kingdom."
In other words, the "advisory committee" as an organization should be directly abolished.
Or downgraded to a "committee".
They can still put forward opinions and manage the country. But they cannot touch the highest authority. Let the three most powerful parties, namely the royal power, the religious power, and the wizard tower... jointly manage the country.
"Because the wizard's tower has the most powerful force, a party outside the wizard's tower controls the army; because the church has the highest prestige among nobles and civilians, a party outside the church controls personnel appointments; because the Denisoja royal family
Born with a strong claim to this country, they must stay away from "legislation".
"It just so happens that the two of you have completely different positions, different ways of acting and thinking, and there are very deep conflicts. In this way, there is no need to worry that you will collude and let this country fall again. The conflict between you will become
This has the advantage. In this way, the three parties can supervise each other. And because there are three people, they can always achieve 'the majority is better than the minority' and quickly reach a unified opinion.
"Those consultants will be wrangling for several years, and problems that cannot be solved because of the complicated interests of all parties can be quickly settled. This can greatly speed up policy implementation.
"I call it the 'Three Wise Men' system."
Annan said slowly: "If you can unite together, then many problems will not be a problem."
The two looked at each other, as if they had some realization.
However, Arthur thought for a while and shook his head.
"...But I can't become the master of the tower."
He said calmly: "If my advancement will allow that guy Ingrid to succeed in his conspiracy, I would rather not advance again. Staying in Silver for the rest of my life will never let her get what she wants."
"No need to bother."
Annan chuckled: "Didn't you say it yourself?
"Ingrid's true identity is the son of the Lava Forbidden Tower of this generation."
"what do you mean……"
"Kill him directly."
Annan paused the scepter in his hand and declared: "Since it is really difficult for us to decipher her ritual... then we might as well just kill the person who arranged this ritual."
"But that's the Lava Forbidden Tower!"
Arthur frowned: "Forcibly killing a very popular son of the tower in front of the tower owner and wizards... I'm afraid it won't be good for your reputation, the Grand Duke."
"What are you talking about? I'm just a passing guest, what bad intentions can I have?"
Annan leaned back slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise in pleasure: "I am dealing with a problem for you. Of course, you are the one to do this kind of thing. Just like Ao Feishi also promised to wipe out the corrupt nobles in the country... This
How can outsiders like us do this?
"As your friend, I just provided some opinions or suggestions for your move, and provided you with a certain degree of support and protection.
