Blackstone Code

The sun is shining brightly.

The Governor spent two hours handling the official duties at hand. He glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window and decided to reward himself.

Not that kind of reward, of course, but reward yourself for getting out of the office and going for a walk.

After the defeat, there was something indescribable, an atmosphere everywhere in the Pengeo Empire.

Society seems to be split into two parts.

Some people are still fanatical about the empire, and these people are still the mainstream of society, accounting for about 75% to 80% of the entire society.

There are about 15 to 20 percent who are very indifferent to the empire and the current system.

They believed that all the responsibility for this defeat lay with the empire's system, and they also hated the royal family for blindly declaring war.

There are also about 5%, or less than 5%, who are in the middle faction. They are not complete fence-sitters.

Sometimes it's a little to the left, and sometimes it's a little to the right. It's not very neutral.

What is nerve-wracking is that these radical reformers point to the federation.

They cite the Confederation as the most striking example, comparing the society of the Federal escapism period with the current society of the radical period.

Comprehensive use of data and high-intensity comparisons speak for themselves.

Human beings are pure, blind, and self-deceptive.

When lengthy statements are accompanied by numbers and comparisons, people tend to focus on the numbers and comparisons that lead to obvious conclusions.

Instead of trying to interpret, analyze, and understand in your own way through hundreds or even thousands of words why Pengeo lost and why the Federation won.

This is why the radical reformists initially had few people, but now they are spreading from person to person.

Because people can easily discover what kind of change route the federation has chosen by comparing its policies over the years.

It’s not that they didn’t do anything, they worked hard!

In the parlance of these radical reformers, the Union encouraged commerce and gave merchants more space.

To encourage education, responsible social capitalists headed by Lynch began to take the initiative to improve the educational level of social groups.

The above example gives the example that after the birth of the University Alliance, the number of college students in society was many times that of the past, and how many high-level talents were provided to the society every year, which is why the federal technology took off.

In short, these people have now become a big trouble for the Pengeo Empire.

His Majesty, the new emperor who came to power... is not the emperor that people want, but he is the emperor that people hope for most.

He appears to be a bit weak externally, but aggressive but not firm enough internally.

This may be the emperor that all vested interest groups want to see, but deep down they don't want to see it.

The Pengeo people rationally want an emperor who can lead them to restore the glory of the empire, but reality tells them that before the big trouble of the Federation is solved, this is the most suitable!

It seems that everything in the empire is fine now, and everything is recovering, but only those in power know that in fact the empire has not yet gotten back on its feet, let alone catching up with the Federation.

The newly-appointed Emperor seems to be very independent, methodical, and persistent, but only he knows that he is just a beautiful piece of shit.

But these... he didn't want to worry about it. He just wanted to reward himself with a leisurely noon.

The weather has warmed up a lot, and it's the hunting season. Your Excellency the Governor is old and doesn't go hunting very often anymore.

Hunting requires hounds, and raising dogs is a very interesting thing for the Governor.

Unlike some nobles who do not handle hounds at all, His Excellency the Governor likes to raise dogs by himself. He likes the loyalty of dogs.

When he was a child, he once went hunting secretly without telling anyone else. He wanted to prove his martial prowess to his father and mother through prey.

As a result, he overestimated his hunting ability and underestimated the ferocity of those prey.

The prey he usually sees are actually those that have been chased, intercepted and tortured by the hunting team for a period of time. By the time they arrive in front of the main team, they have lost most of their strength and can no longer even run.

This way they can be simply shot.

He thought this was what prey looked like in its most ordinary form, and then he encountered a bear.

The bear...almost killed him because he pissed off the bear first.

When he was in the most danger, several hounds around him rushed forward and fought with the bear.

This gave him a chance to escape.

When he returned to the hunting spot, all his dogs were dead.

In the process of growing up, he also encountered things that many people have encountered, such as indifference, hostility, betrayal, etc., which made him always have an indescribable liking for hounds.

Because people sometimes look like dogs, but their hearts are always human hearts.

People's hearts are selfish, and they are not always loyal like dogs, and are even willing to die for them!

He came to his kennel. It was said to be a kennel, but it was actually a large place.

There are kennels, a slope, and a small patch of woods.

When he arrived, the hounds ran out from all directions, wagging their tails crazily in front of him!

Some dogs even have their tails broken off!

These dogs were very close to him. He took the wooden barrel containing feed from the servant's hand and began to feed these dogs.

The food in the barrel is specially prepared food, which all hounds like very much, but only he is qualified to feed it.

Other breeders can only feed ordinary food, and this kind of food can only be fed by him.

He understands the human heart and power very well, and he uses it on hounds as well.

Obviously, this little trick is not only effective for people, but also for dogs.

Every time he called a name, a corresponding hound ran over and licked his hand before taking the food away, which seemed very well-educated.

He likes to get along without any burden.

As he took out the largest piece of food, he called out the name of the noblest and strongest of the hounds.

"Good boy..." The half-human hound could easily kill a wolf, but he was extra careful when licking his palm.

He handed the food over without joking and then stroked its fur.

The strongest of the hounds sat at his feet nibbling food, as was his privilege.

This hound's grandfather and grandmother were two of the group of hounds who died trying to save him.

The strongest and smartest of his generation, he gave the hound a name, "George."

George was the name of a prince, and he had a bit of a personal feud with that guy. Of course, that wasn't the reason why he gave the dog that name. The two had nothing to do with each other.

When the hounds had almost eaten, he began to play with them. He spent the whole afternoon in the kennel, and he felt very comfortable.

When the sky gradually darkened, he told the kennel staff to take good care of the dogs and left.

The staff at the kennel is very dedicated, because his job actually doesn't have much content.

Just clean the kennel regularly, and then put some small animals into the place where the hounds eat every other day.

Hunger ensures that they have enough motivation to bite when they see food. If they are always fed, they will stay in one place without moving.

Beyond that, he had no more work to do.

At night, after cleaning the kennel, the staff returned to the staff dormitory. There were five people working in the kennel.

Two people clean the kennels every day, a veterinarian and a cook - cooking for people to eat.

There is also a hunter with a gun in his hand.

"It's another ordinary day!" the staff member sighed and returned to the room.

It's a pleasure to work here. The hounds here are well fed, including chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and sometimes lambs and calves.

From time to time, they would steal some meat and take it back. All five of them had their own ways of making money, so it was impossible to say who was clean and who was unclean.

He glanced out the dark window and then closed the curtains.

If you don't close the curtains at night in such a remote place, you may not be able to sleep.

Those woods that are blown and swayed by the wind sometimes look like demons or ghosts, which are all very scary.

A quiet night, except for the occasional barking dog.

It is actually normal for dogs to bark. Sometimes in the wild, some small animals will pass by outside the kennel, and the hounds will bark a few times.

When the little animals leave, they stop barking.

Early the next morning, he took the two rabbits and a chicken that he had captured yesterday and prepared to send them to his family.

It’s really not easy to eat meat these days.

When another kennel keeper was about to clean the kennel, he was so frightened by what he saw that his legs trembled!

Half an hour later, His Excellency the Governor came with a gloomy expression.

He ran directly outside the kennel.

The blood in the kennel flowed out along the crack of the door, and it had solidified and turned black.

The moment the kennel door was opened, a stench hit us!

He was almost knocked out!

When he calmed down and looked inside, his eyes suddenly bulged!

All the hounds he liked were slaughtered, and all the dog heads were piled together individually to form a small pyramid. The hounds seemed to be looking at him!

The head of his favorite hound was at the top!

The body of the hound was cut open and the internal organs were thrown everywhere. The stench came from these internal organs.

All the bodies of the hounds with their guts eviscerated were hung up, looking like a religious ritual horror!

In the mouth of the head of his favorite hound lay a letter.

He didn't let anyone else get it, but walked over himself.

Every step he took stepped on the ground covered with dried blood, which was a little sticky. When he stepped on it, he felt like the sticky blood was being squeezed to both sides.

And when you lift it up, it even becomes stringy!

He took out the envelope, walked outside the kennel, had the inside cleaned, and then tore open the envelope.

There was only one card inside, and the card said——

“If you can’t see the future, you should listen to those who can.”

"Instead of following your thoughts and going further and further down the wrong path."

"Your faithful companion, George!"
