Standing on the observation deck at the top of the island, you can see the scenery of the entire imperial capital, and if the weather is good, you can see the city boundary at the edge of the arc horizon, where there is a large manor.

It was the first time that Suzanne had stood on this platform, and it was a little funny to say that she was able to come here because of the light of the trees.

Grand Duke Ringer set up a flower table on this small platform, Suzanne sat on the side to make tea, and Lin Shu, Ao Yun and Grand Duke Ringer sat around the small flower table, chatting without a word, Suzanne was a little dissatisfied when she heard it, so let's talk about business.

"Master Lin, what do you think of the scenery of the imperial capital?"

Lin Shu smiled and waved his hand: "There are not many cities I have been to, so I'm afraid it's biased for me to evaluate." ”

"There's no bias, it's just a different point of view. ”

"This is also, to be honest, a three-dimensional city like this, in my impression, the scenery of the imperial capital is probably unparalleled, however, I still like the city on the ground, maybe because I don't have wings, so the winged people are born to belong to the sky. ”

"Yes, so Tsubasa is more wild and always longs for more space. ”

Lin Shu nodded and said: "I have seen the races that live underground, they tend to maintain their current living conditions, they have little adventurous spirit, the races on the surface are more stable, they always leave a way out to do things, and the winged people seem to be more unrestrained, but at the same time, they also lack that kind of stability and persistence." ”

"Does geography determine racial character?"

"Maybe, maybe it's the genes that determine the personality of the race. ”

Grand Duke Ringer thought for a moment. Smiled and nodded: "If you think about it carefully, this is really the case, so what advice does Master Lin have for us wingers?"

Lin Shu nodded, and said very seriously: "If you look at the area of life, from the underground race to the winged people, it seems that this is a rising ladder, and the winged people, oh, and the dragon clan stand on the top."

"Lin Shu, you have forgotten the spirits, they are the top. ”

Lin Shu smiled: "I'm sorry Ao Yun. Their number is too small. Reproduction, uh, is still a big problem. ”

"Sister Niraya will be upset!"

"No, she's generous. ”

Grand Duke Ringer listened carefully to the communication between Lin Shu and Ao Yun, from here. He understands a lot.

Lin Shu turned his head. He continued to look at Ringer and said, "Actually, what I want to say is. This is just an appearance, even if the Winged Man and the Dragon Clan stand at the top of this ladder, it does not mean that the Winged Man and the Dragon Clan are inherently superior. In fact, I don't just say this because we believe that all beings are equal. ”

"Isn't that the reason?" asked Archduke Ringer with a smile.

"No, you are wrong about this cause and effect, because we in the Xuanmen fully realize that all beings are originally equal, and they must be equal, so we have this door rule. ”

"Oh, because of racial diversity?"

"Grand Duke Ringer, the world is a system, and you must agree with this. ”

"Yes, a system. ”

"That's right, and this huge system is made up of a lot of subsystems, just like this huge floating island, which also contains many subsystems, a small magic circuit may not be important, but when this small magic circuit is destroyed, maybe this subsystem will collapse, and then the avalanche effect will begin. So, when we exterminate a planet's mosquitoes, maybe the entire ecology of the planet will collapse, isn't it alarmist, don't you think?"

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he picked up the tea that Suzanne had just served, and frowned slightly after taking a sip, Suzanne sighed a little disappointed, Ao Yun looked at Suzanne with a smile, compared with Lan Yi, Susanna's tea is actually not bad, Lin Shu is just not used to it, this little secret except for Susanna, it seems that all the women around Lin Shu know the truth.

Grand Duke Ringer thought about it, Lin Shu's statement is not difficult to understand, this point of view has appeared a long time ago, and there is no shortage of believers in this concept in the Winged People Empire, but today this statement came out of Lin Shu's mouth, Grand Duke Ringer not only has to consider the correctness of this concept, but also has to consider the consequences of not agreeing with this concept, sometimes, the truth needs strength to prove.

"What does Master Lin mean that the Winged People must follow this kind of rule?"

Lin put the cup down gently, looked at Ringer playfully, and said, "If this kind of rule is the truth, why don't you want to abide by it?"

But the jury is not on whether this rule is true or not. ”

Lin Shu shook his hand: "No, it's you who have no conclusion, our Xuanmen has already made a conclusion, isn't it already written in the door rules!"

Grand Duke Ringer looked at the smiling forest tree and quickly thought about his countermeasures.

"Master Lin is saying that this is the truth. ”

"Surely it is the truth, of course, I have no intention of forcing you to believe it. ”

Seeing that Grand Duke Ling Ge didn't speak, Ao Yun suddenly interjected again: "Do the dragon clans of the Holy Dragon Empire believe in this truth?"

"Of course I believe it, otherwise why would the Holy Dragon Empire implement a policy of racial integration?"

"So, in terms of individuals alone, who is stronger, the dragons or the winged people. ”

Lin Shu smiled, the answer to this question is so simple, Lin Shu doesn't have to answer it, let Grand Duke Ling Ge answer this question himself.

Lin Shu looked at Ao Yun instead: "If you talk about individuals alone, is it the dragon clan that is strong or the spirit is strong?"

Of course, the spirit is stronger, and in fact, there is basically no racial superiority between gods or spirits. ”

"Ha Lu Ha this question is a bit complicated. ”

Grand Duke Ringer looked at Lin Shu and Ao Yun, he knew that Lin Shu and Ao Yun both saw that their so-called racial equality was just a statement, deep down, Grand Duke Ringer was still a supporter of the theory of racial superiority, and the reason why he would lead a revolution of racial equality was to grasp greater power and continue the glory of the winged people, racial equality was only a means rather than an end.

But Lin Shu doesn't seem to like this very much, so it is very clear that there is an essential distance between Grand Duke Ringe's ideology and Xuanmen's cognition, if Grand Duke Ringe wants to get the support of Xuanmen, he must bridge this essential gap, otherwise, Lin Shu is likely to have other choices.

"I'll think about it seriously. "Grand Duke Ringer did not lie, but honestly said his thoughts, it is too difficult to lie in front of people like Lin Shu and Ao Yun, Grand Duke Ringer does not want to take risks.

Lin Shu nodded, he didn't seem to be in a hurry about this matter, and even didn't care a little much, which made Grand Duke Lin Ge even more sure, Lin Shu must have an alternative plan in his heart, and the Ringer family was not the only choice for the Xuanmen.

"Master Lin, about borrowing the Tao from West Kunlun, I don't know how Master Lin thinks about it?"

Suzanne heard her grandfather suddenly change the topic, and sighed slightly in her heart, she also understood the topic just now, it was Lin Shu who was making a stand, and it was also positioning the Ringer family, but her grandfather didn't seem to be ready, perhaps, putting this big issue aside for the time being is also a way.

"In principle, there is no problem, but it will cost some money, otherwise I will not be able to convince the people of Tianchi Palace. ”

"Isn't Tianchi Palace a subordinate of Xuanmen?"

Lin Shu shrugged: "Protecting the interests of my subordinates and respecting the ideas of my subordinates is also my obligation as the head of the house, and the power must be in line with the obligations, right?"

Grand Duke Lin Ge was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, many people in the upper echelons seem to have forgotten this important principle, so what price does Master Lin think we should pay in order to gain the approval of everyone in Tianchi Palace?"

"The contradiction between Tianchi Palace and the Wing Man is very profound, however, this is the contradiction of the ancestors, whether it should continue or not I naturally have a negative opinion, but the emotional factor must also be respected, therefore, to smooth out these contradictions, someone needs to make a gesture first, and trading may be a beneficial start. ”

"You're right. ”

"What Tianchi Palace needs most is metal, and the reason is that Grand Duke Ringer must know it, and now the price of metal is rising wildly. ”

"I see, how about five million tons of primary refined active metals?"

"Hehe, the Ringer family is really a big family! This kind of generosity is really enviable. ”

"No way, we are different from the Xuanmen, we are keen on secular power, so we will have a large reserve of resources, active metals are also one of them, and the jurisdiction of the Ringer family is vast. ”

Lin Shu nodded: "Yes, the territory of the Wingman Empire is even more extensive, so I fully understand Grand Duke Linge's thoughts and concerns. ”

"Thank you very much for your understanding, I believe that change will not happen suddenly, but trust us, we will continue to move forward. ”

Lin Shu smiled, Grand Duke Ringer is very smart, he is using a hope, in exchange for the support of Xuanmen, in fact, as Archduke Ringer said, if there is a person who jumps out now and says that the racial equality policy can be promoted and implemented in the entire Winged People Empire tomorrow, Lin Shu will definitely scoff at it, on the contrary, Grand Duke Ringer's promise is very pragmatic.

"Archduke Ringer, I have to admit that your statement is very convincing, at least for now I have no way to refute it. ”

Ao Yun pursed her lips and said, "The conspiracy can only succeed for a while, and our lives are very long. ”

Grand Duke Ringer smiled elegantly, nodded in agreement, but secretly vigilant in his heart, these two people are too difficult to deal with, they must not deceive, nor perfunctory, what they say becomes a promise, once they regret and break their promises, the consequences will definitely be very serious, unless, they can have the strength to resist and even defeat the Xuanmen.

It's just that I can really master that kind of strength?

Lin Shu now has this seemingly absolute power, but he has abandoned worldly power, what is he for? Or, when he also has that power, will he also have this thought?

For a moment, Grand Duke Ringer was a little distracted. (To be continued......)
