Banner of the Evil God

Naturally, it is impossible for gamers on Earth to be so powerful. At least until Sui Xiong traveled through time, he had never heard of players anywhere being so powerful - there are legends of people using PS2 to build supercomputers, and using game controllers to control countless games. Strictly speaking, if humans and machines attack enemy troops, they cannot be considered players, because they are not playing the game at all.

This is because on the earth, "more people are more powerful" must be based on the premise of being organized and having goals. There is no combat effectiveness in a mess. The game players are located in different parts of the world and are relatively unorganized. Except on the Internet, it is almost impossible to form any decent organization, so naturally there is no strength.

But in this world, even if there is no organization, as long as they have the same hobbies and attitudes, just the number of people is enough to form a powerful force - here, "will" is a real force, gathering thousands of people Even the gods will look askance at your wish.

So it's not surprising that the scholar who provoked public outrage ended up running away in despair.

After laughing, Sui Xiong told Leon about waiting in line at the game center.

"How can we let people queue up in the middle of the night in this freezing cold winter?" He said unhappily, "What should I do if I get frostbite or even freeze to death?"

"Actually, this kind of thing really happened." Leon sighed, "When 'Infinite Horror' was first launched, some people froze to death just waiting in line that winter. So later I sent soldiers to patrol at night and conduct regular inspections. In their case, it is guaranteed that no one will freeze to death, but frostbite is still inevitable, and for this reason, Garth City officials often have some medical expenses.”

"You provide free medical care to those who queue up?" Sui Xiong asked.

"Yes, there is not only free medical care, but also free thick blankets, free late night snacks and breakfast - mainly rice wine, hot soup and pancakes. It is not exquisite and delicious, but it is definitely warm. With these things, it is almost It can avoid freezing to death, but frostbite is still unavoidable, so doctors and priests are arranged to inspect every morning, and if anyone has frostbite, they will be taken to treatment... Lin Lin finally spent a lot of money, but as you said, the money is in the treasury. There’s no point in it, it’s better to use it on the people,” Leon said with a smile.

Sui Xiong nodded and smiled. In the Church of Masked Void, if anyone is loyal and obeys orders, it must be Gerald. Even if Sui Xiong said he wanted to shoot down the sun, Gerald would only make giant bows and arrows, without considering the question of "whether this method is likely to work." But if we talk about being smart and capable, it must be Leon. He is always able to understand Sui Xiong's intentions and execute them well, obtaining results that Sui Xiong is satisfied with.

Sometimes Sui Xiong also feels that it is a bit unfair for a talent like Leon to only serve as a consul. Is it a waste of talent?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but talk about it again.

"It's not a waste." Leon replied, "If I want to sit on a higher seat, at least one king will definitely be fine. But what's the point?"

"As a person, I have never had any political ambitions. I never thought about being a king at that time, and I never thought about it later. If I had a choice, I think being a librarian like Mr. Wall back then would be nothing but a dream every day. Reading is just like practicing swordsmanship, which can be considered a good life. Or, like the God of Justice, he can transform into an inconspicuous vagabond and travel around the world with a sword, fighting injustices. That is also a good life, said Leon. Of course, my status is not very high, but status means nothing to me. I don't need it and don't care about it. Of course, this is a bit hypocritical. In fact, my status is quite high now... Anyway, I am a dignified person. The leader of the great church, with your status as the chief priest of the church, I can meet the king of any country on an equal footing."

"But...don't you think you can do better? If you were the king, you might be able to govern the country very well..."

"So what?" Leon asked, "I try to govern Gars well because you want me to do it, and it makes Carissa happy. I will try to govern a country that can satisfy your needs. Hope? Can it make Carissa happy? Obviously not."

"If I can't, why should I waste this energy?"

Sui Xiong was stunned for a while and sighed deeply: "What you said makes sense, but I am speechless..."

"Actually, running the country is not as simple as you think." Leon changed the subject and added, "You see, I seem to be doing a good job in Garth City, but this is actually due to various factors. For example, with The trade between the Sea Tribes brings a lot of tax revenue to Gars City every year and attracts many powerful merchants. At the same time, because of the good relationship with the Sea Tribes, the waters near Gars City are the safest on the entire east coast. , so much so that as long as you fly our flag, you don’t have to worry about being attacked by aquatic monsters while walking on the sea... This kind of condition is only available in Gars, and it is impossible to get it anywhere else. "

Sui Xiong nodded, what he said made sense.

"Gars suffered a disaster that year, and many traditional big families were weakened as a result. This is both a bad thing and a good thing. When it comes to governing the country, powerful and aristocratic families are a double-edged sword. Their deep heritage and powerful power can be used well. Helping the country may harm the country if used poorly, but no matter how well it is used, the monarch will inevitably give some of the power and status of the country to them. Over time, the court will become entangled, and various forces will penetrate and support each other. , forming a huge snare that even the king could not shake." Leon probably thought of the situation in the Eagle Kingdom and sighed deeply, "In comparison, we in Gars don't have these problems. Without a powerful family, each of my orders can be communicated and implemented well, which is something that can only be met but cannot be achieved. "

Sui Xiong nodded again. Now he felt that he had thought things too simply. How could running a country be so simple and easy?

"However, the most important reason is that I am too lazy." Leon suddenly smiled slyly, "Although running a country has various difficulties, as long as you have your support behind it, it is nothing. Just spend more time and energy. But I hate doing this kind of thing! There is no point in looking for things to increase my workload. As long as I continue to practice, I will be able to enter the realm of demigods sooner or later. It’s not as long as my life. Do you think the country is meaningful to me?”

Sui Xiong was surprised, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded.

As Leon said, for a strong man like him who can step into the realm of demigods sooner or later and whose lifespan is so long that it may take thousands of years to calculate, the country is actually meaningless at all.

In fact, for most gods, the country is meaningless. Sui Xiong just couldn't get rid of the "human" mentality, so he thought of those problems.
