Chapter 901 Back to the Past

Kino relaxed his tone and directly ignored the law to discuss conditions, which gave everyone hope.

However, at this time, the governors were speechless because they found that they could not bring any bargaining chips.

What can they give Kino?

Monthly coins? Territory? Potions? Connections?

In the past, if the order of magnitude was enough, it might still impress him.

But now, every grain of sand in Doguland belongs to Kino. He is the lord of all the subjects in the land and the supreme shadow king.

What capital does the governor have to negotiate terms with him?

Kino raised the wine glass to his lips and took a sip. He reached out and patted Jashan on the shoulder and said calmly: "In the final analysis, the child is just a piece of meat that can walk. Just have another child with your wife."

Remember to teach them to obey the law."

Just as Kino turned around and was about to leave, Jashan suddenly said: "Human!"

Jashan looked at Kino's back with burning eyes: "We can give you people!"

Kino was silent for a moment and looked at him with interest: "Who are you giving me?"

Jashan said word by word: "A pious man!"

"We will formulate corresponding policies in the six major provinces to guide the people's concept of fertility, increase the fertility rate, expand the population more quickly, and allow the kingdom to have more and more newborns."

"We will gather the best scholars to re-edit the textbooks and add more great deeds about you in school books, so that children will have the concept of being in awe of you from an early age."

"We will use all our means and energy to do more in other aspects of society. From the newborn children to the elderly and elderly, we will ensure that every citizen of Doguland——"

"Respect you as a god!"

After Jashan and others finished speaking, they were speechless and just looked at Kino eagerly.

All the chips have been laid out, the only one, the last one.

Kino stood there silently, the light of the candlelight shone brightly on his face, his amber eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile, and from time to time they bloomed.

"Dang--" Amidst the crisp sound, Kino reached out his hand and gently clinked the wine glass in front of Jashan, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Late at night, the cold wind howls by Nuanshui Lake, and the mansion on the edge of the cliff is looming under the light of distant lights, like a giant hidden in the darkness.

Kino walked across the courtyard with the cake and flowers and opened the door of the mansion.

It was extremely dark inside, with no windows open and all the curtains drawn. Except for the light coming from the door, everything else was immersed in darkness.

When the door closed again, it was like a lifeless and silent place.

Kino stood in the darkness, silent for a moment and then chuckled: "Have I ever told you that you have the scent of laurel flowers on your body, which will reveal your location."

"So, if you plan to 'sneak attack' me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Kino walked through the darkness without hesitation, came to the living room, lit the candles on the cake, placed it on the table with the flowers, and left a kiss on the face of the person sitting next to him: "Happy birthday

.”

Solandel did not return the kiss as usual. She sat there silently, her face under the candlelight looked haggard for some reason, and her voice was low and hoarse: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Kino sat down on the chair at the other end of the table: "I'm sorry, I was caught by some old foxes, and they dragged me to drink. I was drunk until I was dizzy. How about eating cake? I'll help you cut it."

Kino hooked his fingers, and with invisible telekinesis, he cut the cake and put it on a plate, placed it in front of Solandel, and got himself a piece to taste.

Solandel did not move, but pursed her lips and looked at Kino faintly: "We need to talk."

Kino shrugged: "Well, what are we talking about?"

Solandel: "I wish you could stop."

Kino: "What do you mean? Drinking? Okay, I won't drink anymore, I promise you."

Solandel closed her eyes, crossed her arms and trembled slightly, as if she was suffering a lot of pain, and murmured: "I hope you can stop the "Global Security Act" and let everything go back to five years ago."

Kino's movement of eating the cake was sluggish, and he sat there like a statue. After a long time, he looked at her doubtfully: "You mean, you want to abolish all the benefits I have given to citizens and let their lives go back to 7 years ago.

, those who should farm the land, those who should go into the factories, and those who should do business go back to do business?"

Solandel nodded slightly.

Kino was silent and didn't say anything. He stood up and walked forward, reaching out to strangle Solandel's neck again.

His movements were very light, like treating precious works of art. With a slight force, he made the person under him lean against the back of the chair. Then he put his lips to her forehead and felt it with his most sensitive body part.

temperature.

After taking the temperature, Chino said in a joking tone: "I don't have a fever either."

Solandel took Kino's hand and shook her head: "I'm not being coquettish or joking, I'm talking to you seriously."

Kino frowned slightly, let go of her hand and sat back down, placing his fingers on his temples and rubbing them: "You have completely confused me. Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Solandel lowered her eyes, unable to conceal her loneliness: "All this now is not what I want to see."

Chino looked at her face and his eyes became deep: "How do I remember that when someone was 12 years old, she hugged me and cried, and what she said at that time——"

"When I grow up, I want to change the world. No one will be hungry or cold, and no one will be displaced. There will be no more oppression and exploitation in the world, and everyone will be able to live with dignity. All of this,

Isn’t everything as you wish?”

"Thank you for always remembering my wish." Solandel twitched the corner of her mouth, and her smile was not forced, but a little sad, "People's lives are indeed happy now, but..."

"Do you think they live with dignity?"

"Give up struggle, give up effort, and gain without any effort, because everything is given by others. Therefore, they no longer engage in any independent thinking, and only respond with the most fanatical piety, praying to enjoy everything they have now forever."

Solandel's eyes trembled, and there was an inexplicable hint of timidity in her voice: "No, do you know who you remind me of now? You remind me of the Sun King."

"Once upon a time, the Sun King was admired by the world just like you, because he was the only leader of the gods. In the eyes of the world, no matter thunder or rain, it was the blessing of the gods."

"From a material point of view, people in that era lived a very happy life, but ideological restrictions have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Everyone in the world believes that everything is born of him and given by him."

"In the end, he lost his disguise and turned into a monster, but the world still surrendered to him. No one dared to resist the atrocities, because everyone's heart was locked - everything the gods did was the truth."

In the darkness, Kino's face was shrouded in shadows and blurred, but under the candlelight of the birthday cake, he could vaguely see the pair of amber eyes reflecting the flames: "But you know, I am not the Sun King."

Solandel curled up on the chair, as if she had been deprived of all her strength, and her chaotic breathing continued to sound. After a long time, four faint words came:

"I have no idea."

She murmured, her voice so soft that it was almost indistinguishable: "I have no other extravagance. I just hope that all this can stop and let the people fight, pay, and gain by themselves, and use their hands to get what they dream of, instead of like

Now I am being supported like this."

"Even if many problems that have been solved will reappear as a result, it doesn't matter. We just need to return to the starting point and find a new path - together."

No sound came from the darkness, and no one knew how long it had passed. Kino slowly stood up and walked to the door. The moment he opened the door, cold wind poured in from outside the house, and the flames on the birthday cake candles flickered, and were finally blown out by the wind.

Chino: "You have been too tired recently. Find time to take a vacation for yourself and take Lorna out for a trip. Good night, Her Majesty the Queen."

As soon as Kino walked out of the door, there seemed to be some broken emotion in Solandel's eyes. She looked at Kino's back, her voice was hoarse and she choked: "No, I hope people can control their own destiny and live in a world without gods.

——”

"But I hope that there will be you in that world."

The door slowly closed, and the light coming through the crack became weaker and weaker.

"Ta." As the door closed completely, Solandelle was immersed in the richest darkness.
