"This is a letter from Magnum."

The four directions are upright, and twenty-four marble pillars support the magnificent building. The flag symbolizing Yingnan fluttered wildly in the sky, and the eagle flew across the sky, but the wind fell from the window edge on the round nanmu table. At the end of the round table, the king, dressed in red and wearing a golden crown, turned his back to everyone, staring at the eagle hovering in the sky.

An opened letter was placed at the center of the round table, magnified by magic so that all members could read it.

"This is crazy."

The bearded old man couldn't bear it anymore. He took off his glasses, stood up tremblingly, and said loudly: "The consumption of this magic circle is a joke. We want to cover the entire Yingnan and the entire Yingnan treasury in three years." All will be reduced by one-third.”

"The most important thing is that the effect of this magic circle is so... boring."

The man in the wig frowned, flipping through the information on the magic circle in his hand, and said solemnly: "Gathering, converging, dissipating, what is the difference between this and filling a leaking pool with water?"

"The reason is that the gods like it."

Shaking her head, the tall female congressman had a look of reluctance on her face, "Don't they know that Yingnan doesn't believe in religion? They are enough to please the gods. Why should we free people be tied up?"

"Yes, the gods like...what a ridiculous reason."

The King of Yingnan, Khazik Alpha, shook his head, his face in the shadows showing no expression.

"Look, you think it's ridiculous too."

The old man at the beginning said excitedly: "It must be rejected. Tell Magnum III that this is Yingnan, not a place where he, Magnum III, can run wild. When I entered the Silver City with the First Iron Torrent Legion, He’s just a little kid!”

"Zhou Li is also a little brat in front of you."

After sneering, King Yingnan turned his head and looked coldly at the old man who spoke first, his voice as cold as frost: "What? Go and tell him what's on your mind?"

Suddenly, the old man froze and did not dare to continue speaking. The woman on the side frowned and said: "Your Majesty, even brave men have no right to interfere in other countries' internal affairs. This magic circle plan is too absurd, and we have no reason to agree to them."

"So, you think I should abdicate at the age of forty-nine because my eyesight is dim, right?"

Kazik raised his head, looked around at the congressmen around the round table, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I can't see that this reason is extremely absurd, and that I can't see the futility of this plan?"

"A bunch of idiots, can't you hear the underlying meaning of these words?"

He slammed the table hard, and the loud sound frightened these congressmen. They had never seen the young king so angry or so out of control. For a moment, the entire conference hall was silent.

"Do you think that brave men will work for the gods and build a set of expensive and laborious magic circles just to make the gods happy? Have you forgotten that just a few days ago, the goddess of life died! Released by the Church of Life Statement, after the hero disappeared, the life! The female! God! Died!"

Almost shouting, the Yingnan king gritted his teeth and shouted the last few words. Suddenly, all the congressmen felt a chill in their hearts, and an indescribable atmosphere suddenly spread.

They are not stupid, so they can see how absurd this reason is. Will Zhou Li please the gods? It would be better to let the king perform a striptease for the citizens. At least the king has no habit of killing people for fun, but Zhou Li really likes to kill gods.

However, just because they are not stupid, they dare not think carefully about the meaning behind this reason.

"Tomorrow, Zhou Li will go to the Kingdom of God to meet the gods."

Pulling out his chair and sitting down slowly, the young king looked at the nobles and congressmen around him, exhaled, and said slowly: "The day after tomorrow will be the time for us to vote on this plan."

"Is it really going to be like this?"

It was the same old man who said with worry: "Your Majesty the King, do we really want to get involved in matters between brave men and gods? We can't be like before..."

"Being a wallflower who can be strangled to death by someone at any time?"

King Yingnan waved his hand feebly and said softly: "Sloan, you are too old. Compromise in your eyes is a life-saving straw and the reason why you become two people. But you have forgotten a truth that has been passed down from generation to generation. "

"Compromise is not cowardice or betrayal, but a balanced wisdom."

Torea gently put the long sword in the scabbard, raised her head, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what is the wisdom of balance?"

"You must have heard what Zhou Li and I said in the main hall."

Beside the desk, Magnum III, who was writing continuously, supported the mirror frame and was wrapped in a thick blanket. Magnum III looked at Torea who was wiping his armor and asked flatly: "What kind of person do you think I am?"

"The wise man."

Torea said without hesitation: "You are a true wise man."

"wrong."

Shaking his head, as if anticipating Torea's answer, Magnum III smiled and said: "Wiseness can be used on many people, but it cannot be used on me. If a king always maintains wisdom, Then he can only be the king who founded the country, or the king who destroyed the country."

"I'm a compromiser through and through."

"Compromiser?"

Torea was stunned. She looked at the king in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"When I was twenty-seven years old, my father decided to pass the throne to my younger brother. The reason was that during the defense battle of Silver City, I gave up rescuing the royal treasury and went to support the military camp. It was later proven that I My choice was right. After the military camp received support, it quickly spread to the surrounding areas. One of my decisions saved at least one-third of Silver City."

As if reminiscing, Magnum III's words paused for a while, but more importantly, they had a historical depth.

"But in the eyes of my father, I was rebellious and shameless at that time. I actually forgot the royal dignity and let the royal treasury be destroyed by disaster. He was very angry, so angry that he was even ready to hand over the throne to my worthless person. My brother. Torea, guess what decision I made after I learned the news?"

"Did you... use force to coerce them, or did you use ingenuity to solve these problems?"

Torrea asked with some uncertainty.

"I chose to kneel at my father's door and tell him I was wrong."

Under Torea's astonished look, Magnum III smiled plainly: "The troops loyal to me are waiting outside the door, and the officials who support me are ready. I kneel at my father's door and beg for his help. Forgiveness is a compromise."

"In the end, my father handed over the throne to me. As a last resort, my army did not riot, the civil servants did not force the palace, and my brother was also driven to the border area."

"What I compromised was not my father, but the situation and balance. If I had chosen to mutiny at that time, I would have succeeded, but that would have put me in an unfair position, and the chaotic situation at that time might have become even more chaotic. And the civil servants forced the palace, and I There is a high probability that I will win, but these civil servants are bound to ask for more from me because they supported me."

"So, I chose to compromise, and my father also chose to compromise."

"Just like now, Zhou Li and I are ready to unite mankind to compromise with the gods."
