Path of The Dragonborn

Heliga seemed to think that he could understand this feeling a little bit. That kind of inferiority complex when faced with peers who are far superior to oneself is probably the case.

Three or four years is enough to create such a huge gap - when everyone was clearly fighting together, there was no such psychological burden at all. Although his situation is indeed a little special... Heliga once again realized the horror of time.

Having said that, Heliga wasn't going to try to console him. His own words can't play their role well at this time... After thinking for a while, Heliga decided to start from other aspects.

"As long as you're not afraid of death, it's quite easy to climb up in a country like the Empire." Heliga said half-truths, "It's better to say... If you have such thoughts in the Empire, then he will definitely Being buried in a society full of careerists has no chance at all."

"Really..." Hans nodded, "So... it really is..."

"Because there is man-made turmoil in the empire... Therefore, objectively, this channel has not been completely closed. Of course, no one has established rules to guide people to compete in a normal way, so this happens..." Hai Liga shook his head, "I still prefer a relatively stable situation like Libel... In this way, the whole country can be less hostile. At least if you do your job well, you can still enter the middle class simply by virtue of your political achievements. right?"

"However, if we talk about corruption and nepotism, even Liberal..." Hans knew what Heliga was talking about: within the empire, if you want to climb up, only ability is far from enough, and you also need to learn from The relationship and interest exchange and power rent-seeking brought about by various aspects play a role. Among them, the struggle between the nobles and the reformists has played an absolute leading role. Throughout the empire, I don’t know how many of them have no practical ability, but only Just out of the interests of the two factions, the people who eat vegetarian food are dead.

Of course, this does not mean that the bigwigs behind the two factions—the prime minister and the “Four Famous Sects”—do not have any political ideals and ambitions. It's just that they all feel that killing the other party first should be a more preferred option, and it is acceptable to make some sacrifices for this. Wait until the real one is dominant, then start to reform the constitution and advance the agenda that you want-of course, this competition seems to be temporarily coming to an end so far.

"But... However, it was clearly stated in the newspaper that His Royal Highness Olibat seems... very hopeful to replace the noble faction and become the new opposition party." Hans was full of doubts when he heard these things Heliga told him. , "It doesn't mean..."

"His Royal Highness is incapable of fighting head-on with the Prime Minister like the nobles... On the one hand, he is not good at it, and on the other hand because it belongs to short-term attacking long-term." Joshua said, "Besides, His Royal Highness does not have so many cronies. It can be installed, otherwise it will not come to Liberty for support."

"Although it sounds ugly, it's almost like that. So, instead of being regarded as one of the core of the biggest hostile group by Prime Minister Osborne, who is now overwhelming, it is better to be a happy grassroots investigator." Hai Liga is half-truth-although he is indeed the number two figure in the Olibart faction, but whether Prime Minister Osborne can really threaten him is another matter.

"I seem to understand what you mean... You are saying that you are now on a ship. Although it is extremely luxurious, it has been surrounded by a huge pirate fleet. The most urgent task now is to find a way to escape. Underneath, I'm just a fisherman who occasionally catches fish in the calm offshore waters... that really doesn't seem to be anything to envy." Although he knew that this was just a disguised statement of comfort, the frustration in Hans's heart was indeed relieved. few. He is not a fool, of course he knows that the truth is not so simple, at least Heliga's emotions are not at all frightened, it doesn't look like he is surrounded by pirates, but this is not a very serious knot in the first place, "Why don't you say, When you say that, I'm a little worried."

"It's not necessary... I will leave some way out for myself when I do things. It doesn't matter if I lose the fight, I can endure it. The prime minister can still survive if I fail." Heliga's words made both of them amused, " Forget it, let's not talk about that...let's talk about something interesting."

"for example?"

"Like what Joshua said, the impressive bonfire party the year before last..."

"Ah... this piece of wood in Agat." Mayor Maybel, who stepped into the back seat of his business car, resisted the urge to burp, and complained to Lila, the personal maid beside him. He said, "I have a commission tomorrow, I can't drink too much, and I ran away by myself. In this way, my efforts will be in vain."

"Master, you have a problem yourself... After all, this idea of ​​using alcohol to find out what he meant was wrong from the beginning." Lila leaned on the back of the chair with a blank expression on Mabel, and fastened her safety. Take, using his eyes to signal the driver to drive steadily, so as not to irritate the now half-drunk Maybell, while complaining, "This is nothing like what you do. If I want to say, I should just ask him, if he doesn't If you don't understand what you mean or don't understand what you mean, you should just cut off this thought neatly, so you don't have to worry about these little things every day."

"Hey... Lila, you're very light. I'm not Dr. Erica's character..." Maybelle, who has always been straightforward in official business, can be said to be indecisive and messy about personal emotional affairs - even though the outside world often thinks about it. She compares it to that one, saying that they are both powerful new-age women in their careers, but she knows the difference between the two very well - when Erica proposed to Dan, it was a storm between their acquaintances, even Dr. Russell, who has always been out of control, felt that it was too much. I can't treat Agat like she lifts Dan's collar with one hand... Although this seems to be a rumor, but who cares, it fits Erika's style.

"How about asking Dr. Erica?" Lila encouraged. "Since you are dealing with men who have been guerrillas, you should have some experience to impart? Besides, Master, you were not without courage. When Klosner got your slap-"

"Well, I was still young back then! And it wasn't because of such a thing!" Mabel was so angry that she wanted to bounce from her seat, but she was shot back by the seat belt. Lila couldn't help laughing when she saw this. waist.

"... There are ten minutes left." Facing the movement of the rearview seat, the driver was obviously already used to it, and only reminded him lightly.
