"You want to build a country????"
At this time, everyone in Azi's expression was even more horrified than Ivy. Everyone looked at Zhou Li with the same thought in their eyes.
Haha, it turns out that we have misunderstood you. Your Highness, you are not trying to make money, but you are directly trying to change the dynasty!
"Don't forget, I still have an identity."
When everyone's eyes focused on him, Zhou Li chuckled and tapped the Brave Exclusive on his waist. Black mist appeared between his eyes, deep and mysterious. He stretched out his hand, and a Magnum emblem with a scepter and a sword intertwined appeared in his palm.
"The Black Emperor."
The right hand is clenched, the seal pattern is shattered, black mist rises, the strange twisted crown and the snake sword are intertwined, and a strange feeling comes to the face. Zhou Li put away the Black Emperor's coat of arms and said softly:
"You can rest assured that I am not prepared to directly confront the Magnum Kingdom."
Hearing this, Azi and Don Quixote breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they had severely tricked the nobles and king of the Magnum Kingdom in the previous challenge, they were a world-class country after all, and Magnum had a very strong foundation. It was almost impossible to succeed in a head-on confrontation.
"I am not planning to directly establish a country in the true sense." Zhou Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and the carriage drove slowly with a slight bump. "The Black Emperor's Empire is an ability of the Black Emperor. It is a personal domain and does not belong to The country is not recognized by Twelve Hours.”
"But even so, Magnum will not sit idly by."
Azi, who was opposite, spoke with a serious expression: "Magnan is a country established by predators. They cannot tolerate the existence of another country on their own land. The previous Gula Kingdom is an example."
Zhou Li, who was well versed in short history, certainly knew about the Gula Kingdom, which was the aborigine of this land. When the Magnum Kingdom was still colonizing the island, the Gula Kingdom gave Magnan a lot of help. When Magnum decided to break away from the original suzerainty and establish a country, the Gula Kingdom also strongly supported Magnum and helped They achieved independence. Therefore, when Magnum was founded, Gula, which was close to Magnum, signed a "lifelong friendship" treaty with it, promising to help each other and never invade.
However, in less than half a century, Magnum used various means to erode all the neutral territories around the Gullah Kingdom. After a diplomatic conflict that was obviously a conspiracy, Magnum launched the famous "Operation Sunny Day". In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Gula was directly captured.
"Even neighboring Magnum, which is just a bordering country, cannot tolerate it. If we establish a country on his territory, I am afraid that the counterattack will be even more terrifying."
At this time, Don Quixote on the side added: "Although our family was once a member of the Sanchuang family and established the Magnum Kingdom. But our family motto has always been to fight for the people and justice, so on a sunny day Our family was not involved in the operation. Because of this, our family began to be ostracized by the other two families and gradually marginalized."
"I know."
Zhou Li nodded and said calmly: "If you build a country privately, Magnum will definitely use it to make trouble. So this time..."
"I want Magnum III to beg me to found the country."
****************************************
In the splendid palace, a white-haired old man wearing a crown and holding a scepter sat on a gorgeous throne. He looked down at the Chaochen girl in the audience, and his voice was extremely vicissitudes of life: "Are you done? Ms. Torea."
"As you command."
Torea raised her right hand, and the blood-stained white wolf corpse appeared in the hall, "A platinum-level terrifying beast."
The old man's slightly cloudy eyes glanced at the wolf corpse, and then smiled in a low voice, "Can the silver level...can directly kill the platinum level terror beast? Should I say that he is worthy of being the agent of the gods? I’m afraid a brave man can only be like this in front of you.”
"I have no idea."
Torrea shook her head and said very calmly: "I did not fight with him, and I am only a proxy, not qualified to be compared with the brave."
"No, no, no, of course you are qualified."
The old man smiled, and then he stood up and faced the glazed wall behind Tolea that was engraved with stars. The old man's vicissitudes of voice sounded in the hall: "Magnum has been trapped in the Northern Continent for too long, too long. It has been so long that we have forgotten the existence of disasters. The place where the brave appears is the place where disasters breed. This eternal truth, I don’t think it will change in me."
"History has proven that the power of the brave is limited. In the three disasters, although the brave finally defeated the final disaster, the world was still devastated, and Magnum was also hit hard by the disaster again and again. I once Tribes that have seen the Void have spread over the Royal City, but the brave men directly crossed the Royal City in order to defeat the key node of the Void."
After speaking, the old man paused. He could see the slight disdain hidden in Torea's indifferent expression, but he did not get angry. Instead, he stared at Torea majestically and said, "You think I want to say that this is all the fault of the brave?"
Torea was obviously startled for a moment, then she faced the old man's gaze and nodded without concealing it.
The old man was stunned for a moment, seemingly surprised by Torea's straightforwardness. But he quickly put away his serious expression and a smile appeared on his face. Soon, the smile turned into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
The old man laughed loudly, not like an old man at all. After a while, he stopped smiling and sat back in his chair. He looked at Torea and said with relief:
"No, I don't hate the brave at all. On the contrary, I respect them extremely. They are saints, great men, and heroes who save us. I know clearly that without these heroes who use their lives to fight against disasters, our world would have been a long time ago. After destruction, let alone the royal city, even Magnum is just an insignificant residue in the torrent of history."
"But it's not enough."
The old man knocked on the scepter, and a crisp buzzing sound echoed through the hall. He leaned against the flannel, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was distant: "Disaster is the disaster of the world."
"There is only one brave man."
"If a person wants to fight against the disasters of a world, he will succeed, but the world is still riddled with holes, and disasters are still lurking waiting for the next time. This cycle repeats itself, it is already the normal state of this world, no, this planet Yeah. It’s scary, isn’t it?”
Torea was speechless for a moment. She looked at the old man. The indifference and contempt at the beginning were no longer in her eyes. A solemn look appeared on her face.
The old man was wearing a robe representing the emperor and a crown on his head. His eyes were dim but bright. "I told you at the beginning, Magnum, has been trapped in the Northern Continent for too long."
"This is the idea that came to me when I ascended the throne at the age of twenty-three and stood on the high platform of the Congress Hall overlooking the Magnum."
"And five years ago, when I stood on the Tower of the Twelve Quarters of the World, overlooking this continent, I had another idea."
Magnum III slammed his scepter on the ground, and the shadow of this world appeared in the palace. Mountains, rivers, snow-capped mountains, waterfalls. Either the ruins of the city riddled with holes, or the glorious glazed city, all appear in the small palace. They are constantly flowing and moving, but they can never leave here.
"Humanity has been trapped on this planet for too long."
