Today, the Twilight Empire announced a long-standing basic national policy - "one country, two kings", in an attempt to mobilize the Broken Island to negotiate peace with it. Here's what the official said:

There is only one Twilight Empire in the world, and the Ulcer Island is an inseparable part of the Twilight Empire, and the central government is in the "City of Waiting", which is a fact recognized by the Qiankun world and a prerequisite for the peaceful settlement of the Ulcer Island issue. The Imperial Government of Dusk resolutely opposes any words and deeds aimed at splitting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the empire, opposes "two empires", "one yellow and one collapse" or "one country, two governments", and opposes all attempts and deeds that may lead to "the independence of the festering island".

So what will happen after reunification?

Based on taking care of the current situation of the island and the actual interests of the compatriots on the island, after the reunification of the two sides of the strait, the island's current social and economic system, way of life, and economic and cultural relations with foreign countries will remain unchanged...... All are protected by law. After unification, the Ulcer Island will become a special administrative region, which will enjoy a high degree of autonomy unlike other general cities in the empire. Pythagoras had administrative, legislative, independent judiciary, and final jurisdiction over the Ulcer Island; Party, government, military, economic, financial and other matters are all managed by themselves; It can sign commercial, cultural and other agreements with foreign countries, and enjoy certain foreign affairs rights; has its own army, and the Bone Tyrant does not send troops or administrators to the island. Representatives of various circles in the SAR and on the island can also take up leading positions in the organs of state power and participate in the management of national affairs.

Finally, the official of the Empire also made an appeal: it is the common aspiration of all the people of the Twilight Empire to achieve national reunification in a peaceful way through contact and negotiation. Both sides of the strait are necromantic creatures, and if they are divided because of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the empire, they will fight each other in arms and kill each other, it will be extremely unfortunate for the compatriots on both sides of the strait. Peaceful reunification is conducive to the great unity of all the necromantic nations, to the social and economic stability and development of the Ulcer Island, and to the revitalization and prosperity of the entire Twilight Empire.

Hearing this declaration, the king of Bigbowo laughed: "What! It seems that June Sunshine is not stupid, but I believe that Pythagoras is not stupid either. By the way, I remember that after producing the 'Broken Silver' armament, we replaced the old weapons that could arm about 70,000 men. ”

The chief steward standing aside immediately understood what His Majesty meant, shook his head and said, "The amount is too large, it is easy to cause a 'fierce' backlash from the Dusk Empire, and the Ulcer Island may not be able to get enough money. ”

"Then let's change something more strategic, like thirty ballistas or catapults for defending the city? Even if I don't have any money on Ulcer Island, I accept installments. That's it. You ask those families, who can come up with two million? Whoever can get it, whoever is responsible for sending the envoy to the Ulcer Island, and after returning home, he will enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs and will not be transferred for three years. ”

The manager was silent. The Ministry of the Interior is a rich place, and it often comes into contact with major families and chambers of commerce, and even a 'meat' pig can definitely earn back two million if he stays there for three years. It's just that while going out to festering the island, it is necessary to accept the death threat of the "purple name", this errand ......

"Reassure them. I bet with a duke title that June Sunshine would not dare to touch our people. "The king is confident.

Bigbowo, the capital.

An extraordinary new opera is being staged at the Grand Theatre, and the auditorium is packed. Because it is an exotic story, the troupe specially invited the "whimsical" Maestro Sekabuscu from Astantt to be the musical director. Five minutes into the performance, everyone in the audience agreed with the company's decision, because only Sekabuscu could perfectly interpret a new fantasy world.

Now, the heartstrings of all the spectators were tightened, as the princess fell to the ground after eating the highly poisonous apple, while the prince held her corpse and sang sadly. All eyes were on the stage, but no one knew that someone was secretly talking in the small space under the stage that was dedicated to the special effects props needed for the performance.

"Your work efficiency is very high, but, Lin Beiai, ink lotus, night moon and cicadas, tangled and stress-free, twilight 'color' late return...... Which of these people is what Oscoll is looking for? Holding a long list, the minister asked his subordinates. His voice is extremely penetrating, no matter how high-pitched the male singer above is, it can't hide every word he says.

He asked, but no one dared to answer, because they didn't want to die so soon.

It's clear that Oskol is suspicious. He had long known that some of his hidden stakes had been exposed, so he sent a different name to each of them in order to 'confuse' the intelligence department's audio-visual information. He succeeded in creating a fake list of hundreds of people, and now the Minister of Intelligence is furious.

Another thing that made the intelligence department 'chaotic' also happened: the tool used by the necromantic biological 'gate' for communication-the Silent Raven - flew all over the country in the past few days and landed on various buildings in large numbers, so that the intelligence department needed to track and monitor tens of thousands of people at once, and the workload of the department suddenly increased, so that every member of the department worked overtime to the point that the 'spirit' collapsed. Obviously, this is another suspicion. In the past, the Ministry of Intelligence relied on the location of the Silent Raven to locate the hidden stakes, but this method was used by Oskol in reverse to the point that it was no longer valuable.

Now, the Intelligence Department is completely passive, not knowing either who is the stake or who Oskol is looking for. Want to get ahead of the curve in this situation? It's completely impossible, because the intelligence department doesn't know anything about that man, and doesn't even have the slightest clue!

After a long time, the minister 'handed over' the list to his subordinates and said, "Well, gentlemen, I have to admit that this time we lost. Oskol is much more cunning than he thinks, and it will not be easy to bring him down. The stakes that have been mastered can remain if they are not dead, and we no longer suspect someone by the Silence Raven. ”

"This list? ......" the subordinate asked.

"Keep looking."

Although I know that 99.9% of the people on this list are smoke bombs, maybe there are real targets mixed in it? After all, Oskol's layout this time is very detailed, it should not be to play the intelligence department, but to find someone who has a high chance of appearing in the territory of Bigbowo; No matter how powerful he is, it is difficult for him to complete the task as soon as possible on his own. At the end of the day, Oskol will make good use of the stakes, as he has no other way to find his targets. Keeping an eye on everyone on this list may seem passive, but there's nothing wrong with that.

"Although we lost the first battle, the day has not yet come to decide the victory."

After the minister finished speaking, there was warm applause outside, which was very shocking.

————————————————————————————————————

Another day has passed.

While waiting for Oskol to send back information, Qingyi has been teaching Annikil all kinds of knowledge that a king should have, and trying to cultivate the 'sexuality' of his adopted son in the direction of a king. What makes him happy is that Anigil has a unique vision of problems, and can often see the essence directly, which makes him not easy to be deceived and not easy to be concealed, which is where he is far superior to his peers, and it also reminds Qingyi of a subordinate who has firm beliefs but does not blindly obey.

It is very strange that Anniegil, like that subordinate, has a temperament of no sorrow and joy, natural detachment, and never takes his life and death seriously. The subordinate died laughing, and Anigill accepted the fact that he was aging rapidly and his life was short. Now Annigir is reading books day and night, desperately absorbing knowledge, which is quite a bit of a "morning and death story".

"Dad, why do you want to kill people while saying 'respect life'?" Annigill asked curiously again. "Don't you think it's hypocritical? Why do you go against your own nature and preach empty words that even you are secretly laughing at? ”

"This ...... You see! Qingyi pointed sharply to the sky, and his tone was exaggerated: "There's a zombie flying!" ”

Annigier immediately turned her head and looked nervously: "Daddy, pick me up!" Where is it? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Well, Dad, you're a liar! ”

Qingyi laughed. Although this child is not easily deceived, he is always planted in this kind of low-level pranks, and I really don't know whether to say that he is smart or stupid.

Anigil's expression was rather bitter, and he didn't pout or puff out his cheeks like any other child. He looked at Qingyi helplessly: "Dad, can you be a little more mature?" Don't run away from my questions! ”

"Oh well. I've thought about this question myself over and over again. Is the nature of necromantic creatures a thirst for killing? No. It's me who is thirsty for killing, not the entire necromantic race, but I've also told you that a king can't make decisions based on his own likes and dislikes when running a country, and I can't lead the entire Twilight Empire to ruin life because of my 'evil'. ”

"Dad, I don't agree with you. For example, a lazy general will bring out an army with loose military discipline, and a brave general will bring out an army that dares to rush forward. Each Necromantic Empire is a highly centralized state, so your 'sexual' personality and temperament will severely affect the Twilight Empire. ”

"No, boy, you think you've successfully argued against me, but you're just arguing for me. If you think about it, is what I said to you actually the same thing? ”

Annigil looked up for a moment, then nodded, "Oh, you're right. It is precisely because you have seriously affected the empire that you have to start respecting life. But isn't that a violation of the nature of necromantic creatures? ”

"Are you afraid of death?" Qingyi asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid."

"I'm afraid, and I'm afraid, very much, because once I die, I can't come back. I cherish my own life, and I value your life, so I respect life. Qingyi remembered that when he first picked up Anigil, he also spit out the words "respect for life" to the enemy who was about to dissipate. "Necromantic creatures are not overly murderous, but they only see their own life as the most precious. In the same way, my 'evil' is only against the enemy, and it is not contrary to 'respect for life'. ”

"That's what you mean ......"

"Yes, I have no respect for the lives of my enemies, because my enemies never respect me, and they will accuse me while looking for an opportunity to destroy me once and for all. You have to remember that when you talk about humanitarianism with your enemies, you are only trying to save a frozen poisonous snake or a wolf being chased by a hunter, and I will tell you two parables about this later. But you might as well be generous to those other than the enemy, after all, killing is only a means, not our goal. And my purpose is simple......"

Qingyi let out a sigh.

It's just to keep you all alive.
