Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 397: Queen's Generation
"Tell me what you think."
Xu Shen went straight to the point.
Seeing that Xu Shen was unwilling to beat around the bush, the priest skipped the unnecessary small talk and said, "Does the City Lord still remember our previous agreement? I had hoped that the City Lord could help us accomplish our great cause, but I didn't expect that the City Lord would rise to the top and step into the parliament. I think we can consider in-depth cooperation."
"Deep cooperation?"
Xu Shen said calmly: "Isn't your goal to overthrow the inner city, reach out to the ruling council, and change the order? Now I can propose a new order in the council. You can tell me what kind of order you want, but I need to think about it."
"No, no."
The priest shook his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and said, "This is not the deep cooperation I'm talking about. In fact, this is not the real purpose of our anti-internal army."
"oh?"
"City Lord, have you ever heard of the Human Emperor?"
The priest suddenly stared at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was slightly stunned and looked at him with some surprise. He was surprised that the other party actually knew about the Human Emperor.
The priest seemed to understand Xu Shen's expression and smiled, "Don't be surprised, City Lord. You have been in contact with the parliament, so you must know a lot of secrets. In the long history of human civilization, there have been four emperors. The first emperor was kind and built the inner and outer cities to resist the ruins and shells. Then he passed the throne to the second emperor..."
"The second generation of the Human Emperor worked hard to improve order and signed a contract with the ancient gods to ensure the peace of our human race."
His eyes flickered, and he said, "And the third generation of the Human Emperor rose up, conquered everywhere, killed people ruthlessly, and cleared out the shells outside the wall, which can be considered a contribution."
"The fourth emperor was of a mild disposition. He revised the constitution and improved order, but later disappeared mysteriously."
"Now the ruling council decides everything and no longer manages the affairs of the inner city. It indulges the powerful and the nobles to act recklessly, slaughtering the fog people and raising meat people. It also ignores some orders that go against common sense and does not do its job."
At this point, the priest paused and said to Xu Shen: "The council I'm talking about does not include the city lord."
"I see."
Xu Shen looked at him and said, "You know so much about the Human Emperor. Were you also from the Inner City?"
The priest shook his head slightly and smiled, "Now that the city lord has become the monarch, he should know a lot of things from the secrets of the parliament. He must want to take a step forward, right?"
"oh?"
Xu Shen felt that the priest's expression was like that of a cunning old fox, which reminded him of a familiar figure in his memory, Director Liu.
"Do you still know that God exists?"
"The Emperor is God."
The priest whispered, "That's why the Human Emperor was able to sign a contract with the Ancient God to protect mankind."
"So what do you know?" Xu Shen narrowed his eyes.
"I know a way to become a god." The priest said shockingly.
Xu Shen's pupils shrank slightly. These words were so shocking that he was shocked.
The priest in front of him actually knew the secret that even the parliament didn't know?
The path to becoming a god... just these few words were enough to make the monarch feel warm all over.
"It seems like you anti-internal army have a lot of secrets." Xu Shen stared at the priest with a serious look. The other party came to visit him late at night and took the initiative to talk to him about these things. He must have made a lot of mental preparations and considerations .
"Because we are descendants of the Queen of Humanity." The priest's words shocked Xu Shen again.
"Descendant of the Human Queen?"
Xu Shen was stunned. After reading the secret information in the parliament and combining it with the information he got from the original owner, Xu Shen knew that even the parliament could not find any remaining information about the Human Emperor.
Not to mention the descendants of the Queen of Humanity.
The priest watched all the changes in Xu Shen's expression. It was a huge risk for him to come to Xu Shen and reveal his true identity, but for the sake of the great cause, the organization discussed and decided to give it a try.
"That's right."
The priest said slowly: "The descendants of the first generation of the Human Emperor are rare. After the death of the first generation of the Human Emperor, they gradually split and disappeared. The last branch of the bloodline was also beaten to death . We are the descendants of the second generation of the Human Emperor."
"The second generation of the Human Emperor..."
Xu Shen looked at the priests and didn't expect that they had such a long history.
It has been thousands of years since the second generation of Human Emperor.
"Then what is your purpose, to control the parliament?" Xu Shen suddenly asked.
The priest smiled and said, "It's not control. At most, we just took back what belongs to us. We have long known that the parliament knows about our Anti-Inner Organization. The reason why we named it 'Anti-Inner' is also a false impression, so that the parliament will think that our goal is only to overthrow the tyranny and oppression of the Inner City. In this case, given the nature of the parliament, they will not interfere at will."
"After all, as long as it doesn't cause too much damage and impact, they turn a blind eye. They have been enjoying their positions for all these years, but have not done anything for the people at the bottom."
"Otherwise, with the existence of people like us with special abilities, we would have been able to develop to an extremely prosperous level in the past two thousand years."
Xu Shen's eyes flashed, and he felt that what the priest said was right.
The priest said to Xu Shen, "City Lord, have you ever been to Moon Sky City?"
“No.”
The priest smiled and said, "That is the branch of the Steam Association, but it is actually the headquarters. The Steam Association's headquarters seems to be in the inner city, but in fact there are too many nobles and dignitaries in the inner city, which hinders the promotion and development of the Steam Association. The headquarters is built in the inner city just for show. The real headquarters is in Moon Sky City."
"Anyone who has been to Moon Hollow City knows how backward other cities, including the inner city, are!"
"In Moon Hollow City, we have a term called 'technology'!"
He said, "We use metal and electricity to build flying ships that can carry ordinary people to travel the sky. The rail cars you see in Bright City are just old items made by the Steam Association seven or eight hundred years ago. In Moon Sky City, we use our abilities to develop technology. Babies of ordinary people there can be conceived in nutrition chambers, and their genes are optimized. Almost all people have escaped from the Fog Citizens."
"All the people are free from the fog people?"
Xu Shen was stunned and looked at the priest in shock.
"That's right."
The priest gave Xu Shen an extremely affirmative look, and then said: "It sounds incredible, but in fact, if the inner city and the parliament are willing to accept it, other cities including the inner city would have been able to do it long ago."
He laughed at himself and said, "It's just that the nobles and dignitaries in the inner city have not given power to technology and regard it as an evil thing. Even if some nobles are secretly enjoying it, they won't let others know. They think they are secretly enjoying some kind of candy given by the devil, which is delicious but can't be seen in the light..."
Xu Shen frowned and said, " If it is really convenient, can bring benefits to people, and has no disadvantages, in a few hundred years, someone will definitely understand and accept it."
The priest nodded. "That's right, but unfortunately the parliament doesn't care about this, and the high tribes reject this. Maybe they think the more fog people there are, the more stable it will be, and at least they will enjoy better things."
He said mockingly: "I know these people's thoughts only because I am in a high position. Some people are not ignorant of other people's suffering, but they need others to suffer so that they can have sweetness. After all, the cake is limited. They let you be enlightened, but not fully enlightened. They let you open your eyes, but not let you be educated. They cultivate others to the right level just to make it easier for themselves..."
Xu Shen was silent for a moment. He himself was also in a high position, but the level was different, so the scenery he saw was naturally different.
The priest is speaking the reality.
But there is no way to change it.
This is the result of the tacit choice of all those standing at the top.
"Now that all these years have passed, we don't need to promote technology anymore." The priest said softly, "They don't want good things, which means they don't deserve to enjoy them, so we can enjoy them ourselves."
"But we want to get back what once belonged to us."
The priest looked at Xu Shen and said, "We hope that the ruling parliament will revise the order and completely wipe out the high-ranking families and the powerful in the inner city. Everyone will be equal. At the same time, the order of the parliament must also be revised. This parliament was established by the third generation of the emperor. Before this, under the management of the second generation of the emperor, it was a national voting group. Anything that violates the constitution can be judged through a national vote."
