Chapter 242: Return to the enemy camp
Seeing that Benjamin was silent, Lan Xian'er said again, "Your Majesty, Mozalia's army will soon launch a general attack on the Demon Spring Villa, if you stop it now, it's still too late, and if it's too late, it's hard to say what will happen!" ”
Benjamin woke up suddenly, although he didn't know how to go now, but if he washed the Demon Spring Villa in blood, there would really be no turning back, and at that time, how would the entire forest country, including the people in the Druid-controlled territory, think of themselves? I want to plan a recovery from the bottom up, relying on the support of these lowest-level people, and destroying the Demon Spring Villa, isn't that blocking my own way?
"Da Kemal!" Benjamin hesitated for a moment, then said to Da Kemal, "You take the talisman and rush to the Magic Spring Villa overnight, be sure to get there by this time tomorrow, and tell Mozari to cancel the operation!" ”
Da Kemal was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, so he had to take the order: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
Da Kemal took the talisman and left, Lan Xian'er and the others stopped talking, Benjamin shook his head and said, "As long as you can recover the forest country and the elf clan, this king will suffer some grievances, it's nothing!" The Elven Codex is really a good idea, since you proposed it, this code will be compiled by you! ”
Nicole said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not afraid of other people's jokes, the Elven Code was compiled by people from other countries." We said that we didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of your forest country, but now we are stepping in step by step, stepping into the core affairs! I beg your Majesty to retract your order, we have no intention of codifying this code for the Forest Nation. ”
Benjamin stared at Lan Xian'er and the others with an unhappy expression, and Daniel said unhurriedly, "Has Your Majesty ever thought about the purpose of compiling the Elven Codex?" This code is for the management of the affairs of the forest country, and all the provisions are for the service of the people of the forest country! Your Majesty has thought about it, what the people of the forest country need, what they don't need, what terms are suitable and what terms are not suitable, it is not something that a few of us can compile behind closed doors, we need to gather the wisdom of all the people of the forest country, and let them compile the code for themselves in order to be convincing. The code of law, compiled by their wisdom, is naturally willing to be obeyed by them. If Your Majesty had ordered us to compile it for the people of the Forest Nation to observe, it would have become a code of law imposed by Your Majesty on his own people! So please think twice, Your Majesty! ”
Benjamin nodded slightly and said, "Even if it is a collection of the wisdom of all the people of the Forest Country, it must be a leading person, who do you think is suitable to be the editor-in-chief?" ”
Lan Xian'er said: "Of course, the editor-in-chief is Your Majesty!" As we said, Your Majesty is the one who makes the rules! Your Majesty can first compile a few general outlines, and when the time is ripe, set up a codification department, gather people from all walks of life and all walks of life to discuss, and then form provisions more suitable for governing the country! Although the Elven Code was compiled under the auspices of His Majesty and is used to truly govern the country, it must be done with great caution. There will be flaws in any code that need to be constantly improved and supplemented, and even if there is nothing wrong with the clauses themselves, they will change with the times, and some clauses should be corrected and extended in time when they are no longer suitable for the times! Therefore, the compilation of this code is simply protracted, and even the same life as the country! Your Majesty, how can we get involved? ”
Benjamin said stupidly, "Eh, you're always worrying too much! Forget it, I can't count on you anymore! How did the trade proceed? I'm in a hurry to use the money, and you promised me! We can't get in touch with the outside world at all, how can we trade? ”
"Your Majesty won't bother with this!" Nicole said, "I just hope that Your Majesty will arrange something less for us, and the transaction task will be completed sooner!" ”
"Eh, I really don't know how Higg concentrated your group of demons!" Benjamin said, "Let you follow him so desperately!" ”
……
"Your Majesty summoned the grass people to tell them that their people have been slaughtered, right?" Josephine, who was in the palace, was summoned again by Benjamin, and she came to the temple listlessly, and asked the first question.
Benjamin smiled bitterly: "Although this king hates you to the bone, what's the point of killing your people, is it to vent his anger?" A few days ago, the siege of the Demon Spring Villa has been withdrawn, and your people are safe and sound! ”
"Really?" Josephine looked completely disbelieving and said, "This is not the style of your royal family!" In the forest country, even a nobleman would not take us grassroots seriously! ”
Benjamin said, "Could it be that this king will deceive you? You can go, go back to Magic Spring Villa! ”
Josephine was surprised: "What Your Majesty said is true?" Didn't you destroy my people, and let us go back? What exactly does Your Majesty want from us? ”
"I want to win the hearts and minds of the people!" Benjamin said: "The king is determined to restore the forest country, and break the current state system, so that every citizen can enjoy the common resources of the country, no more power, no more slaves, no more oppressive aristocratic power, no more grassroots tribes living in dire straits...... Hmph, just a magic spring villa, although the king hates it to the bone, but he can't be impulsive and cause a big loss! Forget it, you go, this king said that he will not embarrass you anymore! ”
"What Your Majesty said is true?" Only then did Josephine ask in disbelief, "Just to recover the Elven Kingdom, do you want to establish a new forest kingdom?" ”
Benjamin said: "This is the great wish of this king, and it is also the last wish of the previous king!" The forest country has become sick to the bone marrow, and all systems must be broken to change the status quo! Our jungles have existed for too long, there is no life, all the jungles need a fire to burn them all down, so that new life will sprout again in the ashes, and the whole forest country will be full of life again! This burning process is painful and dangerous, but this king has no choice! ”
Josephine's mouth was wide open, her eyes were glazed, and every word Benjamin said shocked her, and she had to reacquaint herself with Benjamin, who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty wants to break the existing aristocratic division, it is simply whimsical!" Even if His Majesty has the ability to burn the jungle of the Forest Country, but the new seedlings that grow on the ashes will grow slowly, all the trees will be uneven, and there will be new nobles, new clans, and new forces will appear, and it will only be a change of soup and not a change of medicine, how can Your Majesty say that he can establish a new Forest Country? Your Majesty's words are still unbelievable! ”
Benjamin smiled, "The new Forest Nation, including this King, must follow the Forest Nation's highest code of conduct------ the Elven Code!" If this king takes a knife on you, it will not only lose the people of your Demon Spring Villa clan, but also the millions of elven people who are still struggling in the Druid territory, and even the tens of millions of people in the current forest country! This king thought about it again and again, and the gains outweighed the losses, so he revoked the order to exterminate the clan, believe it or not, this king has already done this, now you should be satisfied, right? ”
"The Elven Codex?" Josephine's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty wants to rule the country by law?" What kind of code is it, and is it any difference from the original national code? ”
Benjamin said, "Since you want to know, the king can only explain it to you roughly!" The original national code, of course, represented the interests of the aristocracy, the interests of the minority, and harmed the interests of the majority of the people of the forest country; And the new elven code will represent the interests of the majority of the people in the entire forest country, and those nobles, clans, and major forces will eventually be submerged and wiped out by this code! ”
Josephine shook his head and said in surprise: "In this way, Your Majesty will be the Emperor of the Eternal Prosperity!" A woman can imagine that Your Majesty's concept of governing the country will benefit everyone in the forest country, and it will not be long before the forest country can stand on top of the world again! ”
Benjamin said, "Good wishes, but many difficulties! The aristocratic forces of the forest country have been separated for a long time, and the people's power is declining, this king is a fallen elf king, with no support from other aristocratic forces, and no people's aspirations, although he is determined and dedicated to the country and the people, but I am afraid it will be difficult to turn the tide! ”
Josephine got up and looked at Benjamin, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, why bother, although I am a woman, I am also willing to share the labor for Your Majesty!" Magic Spring Villa is just a small family that has fled from the druid territory in recent years, but there are many more small families who have suffered in the druid territory, and they are inextricably linked with this family, if Your Majesty allows me, I am willing to sneak back to the Druid territory secretly, contact the families, and obey Your Majesty's orders! But Your Majesty needs to give me a promise, if these people follow Your Majesty, where will they go in the future? ”
Benjamin's eyes also lit up, and he said, "Are you really willing to serve this king, return to the druid camp, and do the work of those low-level elves?" You've worked so hard to get out of the clutches of your druids and return to the enemy camp, which is dangerous! ”
"Hmph, Your Majesty is too underestimated!" Josephine said angrily, "Your Majesty, as a king, can still think about us grassroots villains, why don't I pity this shell!" Your Majesty rest assured, if Your Majesty really wants to rule the country according to the Elven Code, I dare not say in the current Forest Country, but in the territory of the Druids, there is not a single elf who does not support Your Majesty, and there is no one who will not sacrifice his life for this prosperous creation! ”
Benjamin stood up suddenly, drew his sword with his right hand, grabbed a large strand of his hair with his left hand, cut it off with his sword, and said to Josephine with his broken hair: "This king is determined to recover and rebuild the forest country under the rule of the Elven Code, so that everyone can be free, everyone has dignity, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, eliminate the separatist power of clans and nobles, cancel all slave slavery, and anyone who violates the Elven Code will be punished by the Elven Code, including this king!" ”
Josephine said excitedly, "Your Majesty, can you borrow my Elven Codex to take a look?" ”
Benjamin smiled awkwardly, but quickly said calmly: "The Elven Codex is just the imagination of this king, and it has not yet appeared!" This king has thought about it, since the elven code wants everyone to have dignity and freedom, it cannot be compiled by this king alone, but by the people of the forest country. The king needs to set up a legal department, with the advice of all the people of the forest country, to gradually complete and complete this grand ceremony. This is a code of law that is above the royal power, and Madame thinks that this king now has this code in his hand, can he let Madame take a look? ”
"Compile the Elven Codex for the whole people!" Josephine was shocked and said to herself, "What concept of being above the king, freedom, dignity, and living in peace and contentment is not exciting, and which is not the luxury of our grassroots people?" ”
Benjamin continued: "Although this king is said to recover the forest country and the elven clan! But as far as all the forest realms and all those who were affected by the division of the clan and noble forces are concerned, now they are only fighting for the Elven Codex, only for their own interests! I believe that every citizen of the Forest Country will be like you, and forge ahead! ”
Benjamin said, slowly descending the steps and handing Josephine the strand of severed hair on his left hand.
Josephine was stunned for a moment, bowed forward, took the broken strand of hair in Benjamin's hand with both hands, and said tremblingly: "Fighting for the Elven Codex, the grass people have done their best, and they are dead!" ”
Benjamin unsheathed his sword, handed it to Josephine, and said, "There are no grass people, and there will be none!" Now that you are the secret liaison officer sent by the King to the Druids' camp, for a year at least and three years at most, the King will rise up and publish the battle for the Elven Codex! The king expects you to contain the druids' forces in the enemy camp and respond appropriately to the king's actions! This king can't help you, at least not for now, you and your people in the enemy camp need to solve the difficulties by yourself and make eternal contributions to the forest country! ”
Josephine said excitedly: "I can't imagine that my small family in the Demon Spring Villa is so important to Your Majesty!" Your Majesty will allow me to go back to the Magic Spring Villa, and make some arrangements, and the people there will be at your Majesty's disposal while I am away. Marissa and the twenty or so Pegasus elves will not go back first, firstly, they are not healed and have difficulty moving, and secondly, after they are healed, they can also stay by Your Majesty's side and be sent by Your Majesty! ”
Benjamin nodded lightly, but in his heart he secretly admired this woman's courage and foresight, and did not hesitate to go deep into the enemy camp for the safety and future of his own people! He knew that Josephine left Marisa and those clansmen, and there was another meaning that he didn't say, that is, to leave his daughter Marisa as a hostage in Marishen, so as not to rebel and be unfavorable to her people: "Don't worry, what this king said, naturally it doesn't count!" If you are willing to follow this king, of course this king cannot ask for it! Then, all the Pegasus warriors of Magic Spring Villa will be adapted to the banner of this king, with Marisa as the leader! ”
