Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

"But I think even human nature is very strange. What can those guys be greedy for? Now that there is comprehensive material control, they can't even use it if they are greedy."

Alori revealed the strangest thing about his behavior towards these people.

According to Ella's imperial order, the market, which had been somewhat stabilized by the issuance of new currency, was immediately shut down, and even if you took the money, you couldn't buy anything.

In this environment of comprehensive rationing, wouldn't it be unnecessary and useless to do anything about eating and taking cards to line your own pockets?

Is it possible that those people just pile up their greedy money at home and watch it? Is it because you are afraid of poverty?

Ella sees this more clearly than Alori: "Wealth is only born based on power, and rights are not affected by wealth... If you think wealth affects rights, it's just because rights make you feel that way."

"But they don't have soldiers, and the rights they get are just castles in the air. Are they just looking for a moment of pleasure? To satisfy their desire for control?" Although he could understand what Ella meant, Alori still felt that something was wrong.

"Maybe it's just for the momentary desire for control." Ella turned around and frowned. Under Alori's confusion, Ella also noticed the weirdness in this.

"And then you risk your life and fortune just for this desire for control?" Alori said.

"Perhaps they think this kind of thing is not a capital crime." A trace of ridicule appeared on Ella's face.

Power will make you think that wealth is everything, and power will also make you misestimate the cost of your actions.

"That's true, but do you think there might be other reasons?" Alori asked in a subtle tone.

"Other reasons?" Ella was slightly stunned. She didn't realize what other reasons Alori was referring to.

"Do you think it's possible that those people's sudden stupidity has something to do with this conceptual plague?" Alori said.

"...Does it matter?" Aila's face showed a thoughtful expression, and she vaguely understood what Alori was talking about.

"Think about it, since the other party is deliberately causing trouble while the boss is not at home, it means that those things have a concept of strength and weakness. Since they have a concept, those things will definitely not think of relying on just some concepts to fight the plague. Targeting us because this kind of thing is too easy to solve.”

Alori said that she had this conjecture because when Alori thinks about these things, she doesn't think about human nature at all like Ella does. She only thinks about the enemy's methods as a warrior.

"Are you saying that those people's behavior was similarly affected?" Ella, who understood what Alori meant, asked.

"Yes, of course this is my guess." Alori said: "But if this is really the case, then what you just thought and what you plan to do are exactly what those things expected."

"That may be the case, but if we don't do anything, can you guess what this place will look like?" Ella, who followed Alori's train of thought, asked.

"Like the people have lost their support?" Alori asked.

"Then do you know what the Admiral will do if that time comes?" Ella then asked Alori.

"If it's the boss... Well, if it's the boss... he will... he will..." Alori's expression became stiff as Aila asked questions one after another.

"He's going to abandon this place because he doesn't care," Ella said with a sigh.

Ella did not continue to say more, but Alori knew very well what "abandonment" in Ella's words meant.

Perhaps then those who enrich their own pockets will not be the only ones who die.

"...Is this also the method of those things?" Alori's expression became a little more serious.

"Maybe, this is a conspiracy. At that time, even if I don't care, the admiral doesn't care, there will definitely be a rift between me and him." Ella sighed and said, "So there are some things I have to do. .”

Gu 詩

If it is true, as Alori speculated, that the actions of lining up personal pockets during this conceptual epidemic prevention are not the old habits of bureaucrats with business backgrounds, but a conspiracy specifically targeting Ella, then It's very confusing.

This means that those beings understand how special people like Ella and Alori are to Milin.

"Even if you have to do this, is it within the enemy's prediction?" Alori asked.

"Yes." Ella only felt a slight headache. Even though she was not wearing the crown of the Mountain of Light, she also felt a little heavy.

"Let's find someone else." Seeing Ella's appearance, Alori said, instantly realizing that the only person he really cared about was Ella.

"Someone else? Are you coming?" Ella asked.

"There is someone more suitable." Alori smiled.

A few minutes later, Lapland emerged from nowhere and said with a smile:

“Can we start making the mille-feuille?”

"...What are you dressed up like?" Ella was stunned for a moment when she saw Lapland's appearance.

Lapland appeared in front of Ella, wearing a black tuxedo with a style that was completely inconsistent with this world, and a pair of pure black leather gloves.

"This is the dress worn by Syracusans when they attend funerals and collect debts. The doctor calls this dress an elegant omen." While explaining, Lapland raised his hands with black gloves and turned his back to Ai pull.

Ella, who immediately recognized Lapland's gesture as a classic Sicilian Mafia gesture, asked curiously: "Did the Admiral make it for you?"

"Yes." Lapland said with his mouth full of fangs.

"So, the admiral has already made arrangements?" Ella was stunned for a moment and heard something more important from Lapland's answer.

"You guess." Lapland smiled.

"I understand, let's do it." Ella nodded and said:

“Go find the source of all this, and then let those guys understand that there is a price to pay for being in debt.

Gray Feng, who also attended the emergency meeting, said nothing and had no intention of providing any help.

In Gray Wind's eyes, even if Aila killed all the people in the Imperial City, it was an insignificant matter.

She didn't even think Ella's entanglement was necessary.

Anyway, Gray Wind has listed hundreds of ways to deal with this "conceptual plague" in his database. Killing everyone, or asking Alori to activate the sacrificial circle are relatively normal methods.

There are also some less normal methods, such as directly smashing the canned nano-disaster that Milin used to threaten Cassandra, so that the residents of the entire imperial capital were infected by the nano-disaster and turned into nano-robots.

If doing so would create a rift with Milin, it would be too despising the eternal oath with the natural disaster.

Perhaps as Alori saw in the end, the one who really cared was not Milin, but Ella herself.

Gray Feng, who didn't express any opinions, told Milin, who was hundreds of miles away from the imperial capital, the minutes of the meeting, the chat between Ella and Alori, and Ella's entanglement.

Milin, who received the news, said without surprise:

"One more to go."
