PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: Yesterday's winners were [Rookie Fox] and [False Dream Heart]!

Nidhogg: Today's question 1: Where did the stalk of utility knives and staplers come from? 2. Enough to take on all kinds of household chores, can fiddle with all kinds of guns, hold an umbrella converted from bulletproof fiber materials and shotguns, and a suitcase with built-in machine guns and grenade launchers, use a 12-gauge shotgun to swing the hammer of sanctions against the villains, blow up the place of sin with a grenade hidden under a black apron, and then rise from the fire with a metal killer body, run to catch up with the speeding motor vehicle, easily bite off hunting knives and chainsaws, and kill all enemy maids with pistols disguised as belts(Hint: Maid version of the Devil Terminator...... Everyone, hurry up and take action!

The establishment of road cards to extract tolls is not a bad government in itself, the development and maintenance of roads require financial support, and collecting tolls from pedestrians who use roads is actually a reasonable business practice. However, when the lords of all sizes adopted the business model of drying up the river and fishing, and the people were miserable about it, cheap, fast and convenient railway transportation suddenly became particularly attractive.

Li Lin's assessment of this matter was as mean as ever, and he bluntly told Roland that the people were so enthusiastic about the railroad that all the lords who lived on rents and roadcars wanted to break his neck, and it was these 5 Mars Party who brought their own dry food to desperately squeeze the peasants and passing merchants, so that the railway could recoup its investment and start to make a profit in just one year. They are a lovely bunch of nice people in every sense of the word.

"If he changes that snarky mouth, there will be fewer people who want his life. ”

Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Roland complained secretly.

He knew that this kind of thing was absolutely impossible, and it was not because Li Lin did not complain about the special physique of the Death Star people, and the local small lords, small landlords, and middle- and lower-class knights who were touched by their fundamental interests would not let go of the V.E company that took their piece of cheese anyway.

For their benefit—not for the king, or the Mother Goddess, or anything else—Li Lin must die.

There is not the slightest element of justice or justice in the motive. The driving force behind human action has always been profit and desire.

The realistic theory of sexual evil and Li Lin's ridiculous tone were stacked together, and Roland, who was difficult to refute, was secretly depressed.

"The common people don't care who has what kind of righteousness and who rules the country. They only care about how to get by. ”

It can be said that it is a lack of consciousness or egoism, and the common people do not feel the tone that the big people are keen to talk about. What new things will bring to life, whether they can benefit from it and other things related to their own interests are what they care about, and railway locomotives are just the things that can bring them tangible and tangible benefits. After a period of amazement and fear. The fickle public largely ignored the propaganda that denigrated the construction of the railroad, and after the issuance of railroad stocks and bonds, myths of overnight riches circulated in the streets. The crowd of people who were surprised and envious of the pie falling from the sky were deeply trapped in the dream of making a fortune and could not extricate themselves, "If you want to get rich, build a railway" and "Have you bought stocks today?] have become Charlemagne's most fashionable topics.

The anti-V.E organization can start a vigorous confrontation with Li Lin for tolls, and the shareholders who hand over their entire wealth to the stock exchange can also become extremely crazy.

Whoever dares to stop their dream of getting rich, they eat him raw.

"For ordinary people, V.E does have such and such problems, but it brings more benefits than inconveniences to ordinary people. They don't see corporations as evil. ”

"How could such a thing happen......"

"That's it for a long time, I don't know why Miss Vinia's father and elders don't mention it, and they don't want to know about other people's privacy. However, I would like to express my thoughts in other people's words - it is a coward who closes his eyes and does not look at it, and it is a coward who pretends to turn a blind eye when he sees it. Only those who have a strong superhuman will and think through guò can achieve a career. ”

"It's a ......"

Gloria, who had been silent, put down her sterling silver knife and fork, and her strong eyebrows furrowed.

“...... Arrogant and cold, don't you think so, Lord Roland. ”

Stabbed by the estranged honorifics, Roland nodded and said:

"That's what I thought, too. ”

"Whoever utters such contempt for the weak must be a perverse and cynical person, right? What is the relationship between that person and His Excellency Roland?"

"This ......"

Just as Roland felt like he was about to be cornered, Venia, who was stunned, was about to cry.

"I ...... We, my father, are fighting for our lives for this country, why, why should you be denied by this guy who is associated with V.E. ”

The beautiful eyes that were originally like sapphires turned red, and he glared at Roland angrily, obviously about to cry, but a stubbornness supported him not to let the tears fall.

Maybe it was just the naivety of not knowing the world, or maybe it was the stubbornness of the values that grew up in a simple environment, Roland overlapped the Venia in front of her with the distant past.

- The boy on the edge of hell who is shattered, staring at the boy in black.

Up to that day, the common sense, cognition, and family that had been in place were denied in an instant, and in an instant, a powerful one moment was denied beyond imagination. Unwilling to bow his head, he threw himself at Li Lin in the only way he could express his resistance, and then was knocked unconscious by a light beating.

Roland never regretted his actions at that time, but as he grew up, the almost cold rational thinking that he learned from Li Lin gradually integrated into Roland's values, which brought him a dilemma from time to time.

— just like now.

The more you know, the sooner you figure out the limits of your power, the sooner you understand that ideals must compromise with reality, and then you will understand that idealism is an illusory proposition.

Laughter that teases the essence of growing up swirls in my head, and the claims that have been repeatedly proven correct in four years of travel have been categorically denied, but now they cannot be simply disposed of in the same way.

Unacceptable.

Roland muttered to himself, the impetuosity of adolescence was suppressed, and said to Venia seriously:

"I don't mean to deny you, the knights' love for the country, the people, and the land is unquestionable. ”

The little girl's face softened slightly, and the boy took a deep breath and stated his opinion as tactfully as possible.

"The problem at the moment is that, for better or worse, V.E is already too big for Charlemagne to be an important being. ”

This kind of prevarication...... It will only indulge those scoundrels with impunity!"

"So suppose that V.E Company goes out of business today, and all the systems and industries related to V.E are destroyed. What should we do with the ordinary workers of the various industries that depend on the company, and how should we resettle those people?"

A rock-like expression spat out a question that Venia's father and elders had never mentioned, and the girl who had lost the standard answer opened her mouth for a while before piecing together an answer:

"Big ...... You can look for work elsewhere, or at worst, you can go farming!"

A spark crossed in his purple eyes for no reason, Roland's hand clenched hard, and blurted out with a lazy and spicy mockery:

"How many employees are there in the V.E industry? How many people have the country gained over the years? Where are the young and middle-aged people going to fill their stomachs with the millions of jobs that V.E has created? Can the millions of people be fed by arable land alone, and the families who are all counting on their salaries?!" )
