Master of Marvel World

The first impression of the beauty in men's clothing in front of her is that she is a soldier.

Although it is a woman.

But the back is straight, the gaze is firm, and no matter the movements of hands and feet or the expression on the face, they all reflect a dignified and solemn temperament.

Even in front of Shen He who unleashed oppressive force like a giant dragon, he didn't show the slightest timidity or shrink back.

For some reason, Shen He suddenly thought of Artoria.

Probably only such a person would not worship the dragon as much as ordinary people.

While Shen He was thinking, Crusch walked up to him step by step against the pressure.

Then sit on the sofa.

The moment she sat down, the oppressive force faded away like a tide.

"good."

The corner of Shen He's mouth curled into a slight smile.

He defines himself as a strong man with great strength and full arrogance.

"I am the current head of the Karsten family, one of the candidates for King Grunica, Crusch Karsten."

This series of titles represents the importance that Crusch attaches to Shen He, and at the same time, it also means to let Shen He report his background.

"Shen He, traveler." Shen He only had two simple words.

"It's just a traveler?" Crusch stared at Shen He with sharp eyes.

She has the protection of discerning the direction of the wind, she can see subtle changes, the effect is to distinguish whether the other party is lying or not.

However, Shen He in front of him did not lie.

"That's right, Traveler." Shen He nodded, "However, I am a close friend of Reinhardt, and I was entrusted by him to find the real virtuous king among the current kingdom candidates."

"...Contemporary Sword Master, Reinhardt." Crusch took a slow breath.

Because her guardian told her that the words of the person in front of her also did not lie.

He is really representing Reinhardt, looking for a candidate for the king to support.

This also cannot lie, because it is easy to prove.

However, the meaning of the name Reinhardt made it difficult for Crusch to calm down.

The most powerful person in the kingdom, the leader of the Knights, and the contemporary Juggernaut of the Juggernaut family.

Even an ordinary person without a foothold can become the most favorable candidate for the king's election with the support of Reinhardt, and if she is supported, the Karlsten's contemporary family has no hope of winning. In an instant, any other candidate can be crushed.

"I have a question." Crusch tried to calm himself down, and keenly discovered the biggest doubt point, "Your Excellency, you are not from the Kingdom of Grunica."

As an outsider, participating in the election of the king of another country is a very sensitive matter no matter which country you are in.

It is impossible for Reinhardt, as the head of the Kingdom Knights, not to understand this.

"That's right." Shen He no longer had the initial oppressive force, as if he was just an ordinary person, "But there is only one reason why I appear here, and that is Reinhardt's trust and friendship."

".I understand." Crusch nodded solemnly.

If this is the case, then the other party cannot actually be regarded as an outsider.

Instead, it should be counted as a member of Reinhardt's side.

Able to win over foreign powerhouses.

It is also a manifestation of the ability to be a king.

"So—" Shen He leaned forward slightly, narrowing his eyes, "If you are really a virtuous king, then prove it to me."

"."

Crusch was silent for a while.

She had never seen this form.

Normally speaking, if someone chooses a king as a supporter, it must be through observation, contact, and then a judgment in his own heart.

But now, the other party needs her to prove it herself.

However, after thinking for a while, Crusch knew what to do. Reinhardt's support must not be easily given up.

"The Kingdom of Grunica is nothing but false prosperity now." Crusch began to describe his ideas, "The contract with the Shenlong is both a guarantee and a constraint. After all, the Kingdom of Grunica is not held by the dragon, but by me. Waiting for the place to belong."

Crusch's biggest philosophy is to hold a skeptical attitude towards the contract with Shenlong.

She even recounted that the day she became king was the day she broke her contract with the dragon.

Shen He listened carefully, but was slightly disappointed.

This is the difference in the way of thinking.

So much so that before he finished listening, he couldn't help raising his hand, interrupting Crusch's narration.

"Three questions." Shen He stretched out three fingers, "First, under the protection of the dragon's contract, where is the biggest disadvantage in the Kingdom of Grunica; The dilemma you will face; third, assuming the contract has been lifted, how will you make the kingdom prosperous."

Three questions, straight to the core.

Crusch couldn't help standing up abruptly, unable to control the surging emotions in his heart.

It is impossible for her not to have thought about what Shen He asked.

But that's just messy thinking.

It's the first time that they are placed together like this to reflect each other.

It even made her feel that if she could figure out these three questions, she could correctly discern where the future of the kingdom lies.

Shen He didn't speak any more, and didn't have any serious expression, he just sat on the sofa casually, watched Crusch stand up in front of him, watched her sit down again, and watched her fall into deep thought.

The scope of these three questions is very broad.

But similarly, Shen He didn't ask Crusch to give a very detailed answer.

He just wants an idea.

In other words, let Crusch think for himself first, and then he will be even more shocked when he pretends to be aggressive.

Time passed little by little.

Wilhelm, who was standing behind Kursch, looked at his Patriarch with a little worry.

after an hour.

Crusch finally recovered from the long thought, and seemed to have gotten the answer.

"The biggest drawback of Grunika today is that it relies too much on the covenant, and it is even unable to solve any difficulties outside the scope of the covenant, just like the failure of the campaign against the white whale fourteen years ago."

"After the contract between Yulong was terminated, I think the biggest problem is the fragility of the country after losing its asylum."

"After the contract is terminated, I will make the citizens shoulder all the responsibilities that belonged to the dragon in the past. Whether it is war, plague, or famine, only by relying on myself to survive all these, the kingdom will bring real prosperity!"

Crusch summed up these three issues as self-blame, self-purification, and self-help.

Blame the nation for its past weakness, be aware of its present fragility, and save its future.

Even Wilhelm standing behind her couldn't help showing admiration and pride.

in this kingdom.

Only the patriarch he chooses can have such boldness.

In fact, Shen He was quite admiring.

Being able to see these three things clearly in this era is considered to have a vision beyond the times.

However, he remained expressionless on the surface, and even lowered his gaze.

"Three answers, none of which is what I want."

Shen He understands that Crusch's ability is equivalent to a micro-expression lie detector.

So he didn't say "very disappointed".

Instead, it has changed to a way of expression that has almost the same meaning, but it is not a lie.

As expected, Crusch showed an unconvinced expression, even Wilhelm felt that Shen He was deliberately looking for trouble.

"Please enlighten me." Crusch's etiquette was in place, and he assumed the posture of a teachee.

"The first problem, the biggest problem of the contemporary kingdom is that it doesn't think about making progress." Shen He didn't continue to play tricks. Has the kingdom made significant progress? Is the current glory of the king better than the glory of the Lion King?"

Crusch's expression was stunned.

Isn't this what she raised?

Excessive favor breeds stagnation, stagnation breeds corruption, and corruption is the death knell.

That's why she said that the biggest problem with the current kingdom is that it relies too much on dragons.

"The center of gravity is different." Shen He naturally understood what Crusch was thinking, and he explained unhurriedly, "Depending on the dragon, not thinking about progress, and weak kingdom, these three elements are interdependent, but at the same time relatively independent .”

This is the advantage brought by the scientific way of thinking.

With the help of basic reverse logic, Crusch attributed the reason for the "weakness of the kingdom" to the original "dependence on dragons".

But in fact, what really has a direct effect on the "weakness of the kingdom" is "not thinking about making progress".

Even further exploration, it is easy to find that "not thinking about making progress" is the biggest root thought that caused a series of problems in the kingdom.

"The most important thing in a country is the guiding ideology." Seeing that Crusch still didn't quite understand, Shen He simply said, "For example, relying on dragons will indeed lead to a lack of progress, but if the king List the word "enterprising" as the guiding ideology of the kingdom, and strive to make progress and prosperity from top to bottom every week, every month, and every year, and let this spirit penetrate into the hearts of the people. Then, Dragon Will the asylum of a person lead to not wanting to make progress?"

In modern society, governing the country first establishes the outline.

Whether it is a capitalist system of freedom and equality, or a socialist system that liberates productive forces and eliminates polarization, the core spirit as the guiding ideology is indispensable.

It can be said that ideology is the bright light that illuminates the progress of the country. Without it, the development of the country will lose its direction.

"Is this possible?"

At this moment, Crusch felt that a new gate seemed to appear in front of her.

But she dared not open it.

Because she doubted, or feared, whether behind the door was just a lie.

"Do you think that as long as the protection of the dragon still exists, it is impossible for people to be enterprising?" Shen He smiled.

"Isn't it?" Crusch slightly clenched his fists, just staring at Shen He.

Unknowingly, she had completely put herself in the position of a student, and even hoped to get the correct answer from Shen He.

"Gifts will lead to stagnation." Shen He said the sentence that Crusch had just thought, but he continued, "Desire will drive forward. If the people stop moving forward, it only means that the king did not let them see their desire. desires that cannot be fulfilled through dragons."

boom--!

Crusch only felt a huge thunder explode in her mind.

She got it, she got it!

The dragon will not help them fight against the white whale, so for more than ten years, those who survived the big crusade fourteen years ago have been honing themselves all the time and trying to become stronger.

Because they have the desire to hunt down the white whale again.

If you say, if you say! She can make the people long for the strength not dependent on the dragon, long for self-improvement, then, even under the protection of the dragon, people will have a new look.

Stop standing still!

Crusch trembled all over.

She now feels that she wanted to cancel Yu Long's contract in the past, it was really immature, or in other words, she just saw an indistinct river in the mist and rushed up it rashly, but she didn't find it hidden under the river. Covered bridge.

because--

The essence of rescinding the contract to save the kingdom is still to force people to change their minds by rescinding the contract.

Thought! What really matters is not the contract, but the idea!

"It seems that you have already understood a little bit." Shen He felt a little proud.

"Yes!" Crusch stood up abruptly, looked at Shen He with piercing eyes, and then bowed ninety degrees, "Please teach me, sir!"

She has made up her mind.

The person in front of him is definitely a great sage.

Even though he is an outsider, he has such a clear view of the current situation of Grunica's kingdom.

Even a few words gave her a sense of awakening.

At this time, Crusch already understood why the sword master of the kingdom, Reinhardt, trusted him so much, and even asked him to choose the real king.

"No rush." ​​Seeing that he had successfully gained the other party's attention, Shen He was not in a hurry, "Among the current candidates for the king, the only ones I have met are you and Emilia."

"Emilia. I see."

Crusch suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard that Emilia's supporter, the border count Roswaal, had gone to the Knights to meet Reinhardt.

At the time, he thought he was seeking the support of the Juggernaut for Emilia.

But now it seems that it is probably to prove the authenticity of Shen He's identity.

only

Crusch thought about the remaining two questions, feeling itchy.

What are the answers to those two questions?

Just say she was wrong, but stop talking.

This made Crusch look at Shen He with extremely resentful eyes.

"I also have a certain understanding of the four king candidates currently appearing." Shen He felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by such completely uncharacteristic eyes, and simply said directly, "Whether it is vision or ability, you They are not weaker than the others, but I also need to learn more."

There is nothing wrong with needing further understanding.

But Shen He just didn't want to go so fast, so he clearly stood by Crusch's side.

In that case, his status with Emilia would become more embarrassing.

And the reason why I found it so quickly.

It is also to deepen the influence and strengthen the status of Crusch here, and at the same time, to gain some prestige before the official start of the level of Moby Dick and the Witch Cult.
