Asking himself, Evan feels that he is well-informed.
After all, Evan is also the prince of a big country. Even if his privilege as a prince is that he will be beaten more severely after making mistakes, he can still travel to various countries and make good friends with this status.
During his travels, he met many distinguished people. Whether it is the capital aristocrats of Yingnan or the "higher" aristocrats of Magnum who claim to have pure blood, Evan has not only seen them all, but also scorned the nobility concept promoted by them.
But when Evan learned the identity of the ordinary-looking girl in front of him, he almost offered Hada to the little girl in front of him.
Tariq does not engage in personality cults, except for Tariq.
As a people's state, it speaks volumes that Tariq named the country after a man. After Tarik Vladimir's death, not only did his body enjoy a state funeral, but his name and everything he did were written into textbooks and classics for future generations to pass on.
"Who are you?"
Evan could swear that this was the most shocking moment in his life, except for his father's announcement of confrontation with the Twelve Hours. Soon the shock turned into unexpected ecstasy.
Descendants of Tariq.
This name represents too many things, and the Tariq people back then always regretted that the people's king did not have any heirs. In fact, according to specific records, Tariq had two sons. But one of the two sons died in the Battle of Pinkerton, and the other chose self-sacrifice when the Tsar was encircling the People's Assembly.
"Hathaway, Vladimir."
The girl lifted up her skirt and performed a ladylike ceremony. It was obvious that this was not learned from her father, whom she had never met. Whether it was the details of the skirt-lifting ceremony or her demeanor when making this action, they were all Habits of royal children during the tsarist period.
"No, Mr. Zhou Li, this..."
Evan looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief. The huge joy and shock shocked him, making him speechless for a moment, "Really?"
It took him a long time to say these three short words.
"uncertain."
Zhou Li shook his head and said under the gaze of a somewhat disappointed Evan: "But I can confirm her other identity."
"What?"
Evan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Another identity?"
"right."
Zhou Li nodded and said calmly: "Her other identity is that of the soul keeper of Czar Louis XVI, Louis XIII, Louis III, and Louis I."
Now I don't want to offer hada, I want to draw my sword.
Looking at the man who looked shocked but tried hard to control the urge to draw the knife, Zhou Li nodded with satisfaction, "I'm glad you didn't get carried away by the surprise."
"You must have your reasons."
Evan quickly calmed down and said: "You are now the Lord Protector. To me, your orders and choices are no different from the instructions issued by King Herinin. All I have to do is execute them."
"It may be said that the Louis family is indeed a remnant of the previous dynasty, a poisonous remnant from the feudal country of the Tsarist Empire. But, have you ever thought about a question."... Zhou Li looked at Evan and asked in a deep voice: "Louis Family, isn’t the death a bit sudden?”
"this..."
Evan was stunned. The Louis family was not a word that could be mentioned repeatedly to Tariq. It could be said that as early as the first day he took office, Herinen had banned all investigative files about the Louis family. , which is enough to explain his attitude.
Evan knew that it was not Tariq who exterminated the Louis family, nor was it his "black gun". Those who really slaughtered the entire Louis family were supporters from the Merchant Church. But everyone at the time, including everyone now, believed that the soldiers of the Merchant Church did the right thing, and that the Louis family deserved it.
But in the record, Tariq said very sadly at the time that it was Tariq's great loss that these Louis family members could not be tried by law. At that time, both Herinen and Evan believed that this was Tariq's expression of respect for the law, but now when the name Hathaway Vladimir, with the souls of four Louis families, appeared in front of them, it turned out that Those conjectures have been overturned.
"What did the Louis family do to deserve such a violent attack from the Commercial Church?"
Evan didn't understand why the Commercial Church would rather violate Tariq's laws and cause a bad influence to Tariq, but also kill the Louis family with his own hands. At first, Evan thought that the commercial church was jealous and showed no mercy to the country that had exploited the church. But now it seems that this is not the case.
"I also want to ask this question."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhou Li asked in a deep voice: "Louis XVI, I have now stood on the opposite side of the gods as you said. Now, you can tell the truth."
Before heading to the west, Zhou Li reached an agreement with Louis XVI in Hathaway's body. He will choose a way to stand on the opposite side of the gods and fight against the twelve moments. Louis XVI, Hathaway and several other emperors jointly helped Zhou Li.
When Zhou Li climbed over the high wall and entered the west without approval, Louis XVI and Hathaway understood Zhou Li's determination. They understood that when Zhou Li chose to investigate the truth outside the wall, he was destined to be unable to compromise with Twelve Hours.
Some people will not allow others to see their hidden secrets and survive, and gods are no exception.
Therefore, after entering the west, Louis XVI and Hathaway made up their minds to help Zhou Li. Because what they were fighting against was also twelve moments. And he also chose to tell Zhou Li about that secret past.
"Nice to meet you all, including you, Mr. Evan."
Hathaway's face lost some of its youthfulness and innocence, but was replaced by a kind of depth wrapped in frivolity. She looked at Evan and Zhou Li and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Don't be so guarded, Mr. Evan. You don't have to worry that I want to use this little girl's body to revive the country."
"Before I get into the secret, I would like to introduce myself to you."
Bend, cross arms, bow. Etiquette that is so perfect that even the pickiest etiquette experts can't find any problems appears in a girl who is only sixteen or seventeen years old. This makes people feel a big contrast.
"Louis XVI, you can also call me Louis William. I have many identities, such as king, architect, warrior, etc. Of course, there is only one profession that I am dedicated to and proud of."... The girl's face showed A proud smile appeared, and she raised her head slightly, as if she were a star standing on the stage attracting the attention of thousands of people, proud yet elegant.
"artist."
"Yes, you spent most of your national power and financial resources on performing art, and then let the country collapse, the bureaucracy became corrupt, the country and the people were in dire straits, and finally accelerated the demise of the Tsarist Empire. You are indeed a pure artist."
Facing Evan's ridicule, Louis XVI showed no anger at all. On the contrary, a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"Do you know what my greatest artistic achievement is?"
"The greatest art?"
Evan frowned, thought for a moment and asked: "The world's largest building, the National Center for the Performing Arts?"
"No no no."
Louis XVI shook his head, his long golden hair hitting the girl's soft cheeks. This youthful and delicate image seemed out of place for Hathaway at this time.
"There is only one art that I am most proud of in my life."
Turning around and extending his hand, as if to show off, Louis XVI proudly said to everyone: "Tariq is the art I am most proud of."
"What?!"
Evan stood up immediately and asked in surprise: "What do you mean??"
"Paintings, poetry, architecture, songs, dance, drama... each of these arts in the eyes of the world was completely mastered by me after I used a little patience. But in other people's words, I have no effort. , but he is a talented artist, which puzzles me."
Sitting on the sofa, it is obviously the soul of a man, but at this time, Louis XVI's stage play skills make him look more charming than a woman. "The books I have read all say that only hard-working and talented artists can I understand the most sincere art in the world. Although I have unparalleled talent, it also restricts me and prevents me from working hard."
Damn, I really deserve a beating.
Everyone looked at the proud but very low-key girl in front of them, and an idea suddenly emerged in their hearts.
Louis XVI's words were very proud, even arrogant. But when they thought of the pearls he created in the field of art that were more brilliant than miracles, they suddenly realized that Louis XVI seemed to be really just stating the facts.
"I consider myself an artist, and what an artist wants most is art that makes him or her proud from the bottom of his heart."
Looking at the National Hotel designed by himself, Louis XVI sighed softly and said sadly: "But no matter how I create works of art, I can't find one that satisfies me. This is not what they Not perfect, but they have always been bound by my talents, which is not enough to make me proud. Because all I do is materialize the inspiration that comes to my mind and then show it, that's all .”
"Later I discovered that there was actually a raw material worthy of being carved into a great work that had always been in my hands, but I had never discovered it."
In Hathaway's emerald eyes, there was only the inner pride and pride of a genius. He looked at everyone and said in a slightly soaring tone, "I own an imperfect country."..." A country full of devastation, with corrupt hearts and no hope. The Tsarist Empire is like a piece of rotten clay, without any artistic value. But it is such rotten raw materials that can show the transformation of decay into A magical miracle.”
"You mean, Tarik was founded by you?"
"No."
Hathaway shook her head. Faced with Evan's anger, she expressed her understanding, "Boy, I understand where your anger comes from. You think I am a corpse, an art emperor who has made no contribution, and I enjoy All the beauties are built on the suffering of the people. But now that an arrogant and lewd emperor tells you that he founded this people's country, of course you will be angry."
"But I'm sorry to tell you that I'm more arrogant than you think."
Clapping his hands and looking at the confused Evan in front of him, Louis XVI smiled.
"Do you think your father was the only one who discovered the captivity of gods?"
This sentence made Evan, who had originally wanted to say something to refute, suddenly change his expression. He looked at Louis XVI in front of him who was using Hathaway's body to communicate with him, and asked in shock: "You mean you..."
"Twelve Moments has been keeping humans in captivity. I saw it through as early as the age of six."
Holding her chin, the girl's soft jawline was flawless. She looked at Evan, chuckled and said: "If I wanted to build a people's country, I would have started to build it myself. Believe me, with my abilities and means, self-cleansing and top-down transformation will help me." It’s easy to say that it’s easy to build a kingdom similar to Tariq.”
"you!"
At this time, Evan was shocked and confused. What surprised him was Louis XVI's appalling words, but what he doubted was that he didn't understand what Louis XVI was talking about.
"But that's not artistic enough."
Stretching out her hand, as if she was holding the entire country in her arms, the girl said to Evan with a just right smile: "What I have to do is to lay down a perfect framework and let a protagonist I choose to overthrow my country, effortlessly. Accept the framework I've created and then..."
Lowering his head, the artist's madness appeared in Louis XVI's eyes. He looked at Evan with a bright smile, "Fight the Gods."
"At the age of eleven, he formulated the Three Border Acts that allowed the Tsarist Empire to maintain internal stability. In the same year, he signed the agricultural product recycling plan to ensure a perfect country during famines. The sixteen tax law recommendations to the Ministry of Finance were incorporated into fiscal regulations, and Tariq still uses them. The adjustment of the military industry ensures that the right to manufacture large-scale weapons is maintained in its own hands, while at the same time gathering information from civilian professionals..."
Zhou Li looked at Louis XVI in front of him, and slowly recited Louis XVI's outstanding political contributions. Of course, there were also many incomprehensible actions, "When you were sixteen years old, you ordered the Western The development doctrine leads by example and takes the lead in transferring shady assets to the west for development. This move makes most nobles choose to move their industries westward. Of course, the people in the west will not be grateful for your move. After all, you and the nobles transferred their wealth to make money, and the unlucky ones were, of course, the Westerners."..."When you were seventeen, you issued a forced labor study decree. All citizens were ordered to pay three percent. After ten years of wealth, you entered the school to study. Most of the courses you offer are very divorced from reality, which makes everyone think that this is a way for you to make money. It is very stupid, but it fits well with your title of Art Emperor."
"At the age of nineteen, you forcibly ordered the redistribution of the national labor force. Every teenager who has reached the age of sixteen must leave home and go to distant areas to study and work. This move is naturally hated by everyone. After all, no one wants to let their There is no news about the child traveling to a distant place. Of course, in the eyes of everyone, this is your act of consolidating your rule."
Starting when he was sixteen years old, Louis XVI issued countless strange decrees that were incomprehensible but full of malice. These laws include economic, political, educational, and even family planning. Zhou Li once fell into confusion when looking through these materials. At that time, he really thought that this was a sign that Louis XVI was crazy.
However, when he was reminded by Eluma and realized that he had overlooked something, he found a pattern.
"This is not a contradiction."
At that time, Eluma looked at a thick stack of "Louis XVI's Ridiculous Decree" and said to Zhou Li: "I don't want to make my country strong, but I also want the people to hate me, and I also want to build an excellent country." The embryonic form of a country, doesn’t it mean they can’t appear at the same time?”
"You issued these decrees neither to make the Tsarist Empire prosper nor to simply satisfy your artistic desires."
Zhou Li looked at the girl in front of him, at the man who was recorded as the "Evil King" in history books, and told him his purpose for doing all this.
"What you want is a tsarist empire that is so bad that it will collapse at a push, but that can be easily taken over and transformed by those who come after you, right?"
