Chapter 952: Opening the Mind
Chapter 952: Opening the Mind
"Number 057, the Longevin Lance... I never expected it to end up in your hands."
Red-haired Director frowned as she recognized the broken half of the rein in the hands of the Serpent Director. "Did you just use this to attack Lyon?"
"It wasn't an attack. I merely helped him broaden his thinking a little."
Glancing at the Red-haired Director's displeased expression, the Serpent Director, who rarely held the upper hand, couldn't help but smile. "My mind may not be as quick as yours, but I'm not a fool. I knew he was secretly tampering with me. How could I not be aware of it? The reason I didn't resist is that when he made his move, he also gave me the opportunity to influence him."
"So?"
Looking at Lyon, whose soul remained stable, but whose thoughts and consciousness were subtly beginning to diverge, the Red-haired Director narrowed her eyes. "This item's number is too high. It can't harm Lyon; it can only make him slightly distracted... So, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"I already said it earlier. I just wanted to help him broaden his thinking a little."
Gazing at the slightly anxious Red-haired Director, a hint of triumph flashed in the Serpent Director's eyes. He then mimicked her usual demeanor and chuckled, "You, being so stubborn and brainwashed by the old folks from the Cleanup Bureau, need to let go of your preconceived notions and truly open your rigid minds. You must learn to face the real world."
"Rest assured, I'm not trying to dissolve his soul. I merely used the ability of the Longevin Lance to create a small opening in his thoughts, allowing his mind to temporarily break free from the constraints of reason. This way, he can set aside his prejudices and truly experience my understanding of the world."
"Your understanding of the world?"
"It's what I said to him just now."
Lyon's expression shifted, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful gleam. The Serpent Director continued with a hint of pride, "You tried to bind me with a bet, making me follow this boy around, hoping that his actions would convince me. But what you don't know is that I have the same intention as you!"
"..."
"Oliviah, you may be smarter than me, but your understanding of the world can never be deeper than mine!"
With the Red-haired Director's slightly strained gaze upon him, the Serpent Director confidently spoke, "That short sentence I uttered earlier was the conclusion I reached after traveling the world and leaving my footprints in the Thirteen Kingdoms. It's an idea that completely surpasses his understanding, a truly eye-opening concept. It will undoubtedly shake his heart to the core."
"First, his rigid cognition will be shaken by my conclusion, and then the Longevin Lance will pry open the defenses of his reason. By the time this thought process is complete, he will inevitably lean towards my way of thinking."
"However, in this Deephold Sanctuary, where the 'Doctrine of Equity' is revered, as soon as he genuinely acknowledges that I am right from the bottom of his heart, his soul will be imprinted with the 'Unction Seal' of the Doctrine of Equity. From then on, he will break free from you and the decayed Cleanup Bureau, choosing to stand by my side!"
"..."
"Hehe, are you surprised by my plan?"
"..."
I was surprised, but not by your plan. I was more astonished by how... Ah, never mind.
Relieved that Lyon's soul was stable, the Red-haired Director watched her old friend's triumphant expression with a sigh of helplessness. She closed her eyes and fell silent.
Seeing that she seemed to have given up, the Serpent Director, who had won this 'planning' contest for the first time, couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. After Lyon freed himself from the influence of the Longevin Lance, the Serpent Director, with a smile in his eyes, took the initiative to ask, "Well, what do you think of what I said earlier?"
What did you say earlier?
Upon hearing the Serpent Director's words, Lyon, whose thoughts had been racing uncontrollably, momentarily forgot where he had started from. He hesitated and asked, "What did you say just now?"
"..."
"Oh, I remember now!"
Just as the facial features of "Prince Vernon" began to distort, Lyon finally regained his train of thought. After recalling the simple yet accurate statement, Lyon nodded in agreement, his gaze filled with approval.
"You're quite right."
Haha! He acknowledged it! He acknowledged it!
Seeing the recognition in Lyon's eyes, the Serpent Director couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Although he was most adept at the "Doctrine of Valiance," as the low-fever syndrome spread throughout the Western Carleva Kingdom, he had begun to erode the Western Carleva bloodline and had initially gained recognition for the "Doctrine of Equity."
With his strength nearing that of a Supreme Pillar Deity, the power of the oil seal in the Deephold Sanctuary, which had condensed the beliefs of all the equitable bloodlines over thousands of years, was almost on par with the Supreme Pillar Deity's Doctrine! As long as he acknowledged that he was right, he would be completely...
Where's the oil seal? Where's my oil seal?
After subtly activating the Deephold Sanctuary, the Serpent Director waited for half a day, but the oil seal didn't descend. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Lyon with a hint of anger in his voice.
"You're lying to me?!"
"?"
Hearing the strange question from "Prince Vernon," Lyon couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"What did I lie to you about?"
"You didn't agree with what I said!"
"I did agree."
Upon hearing this, Lyon frowned.
"Didn't I just say that I think you're right?"
"..."
He doesn't seem to be lying to me...
Staring at Lyon with suspicion, the Serpent Director felt that he wasn't lying to him. His lips twitched, and he cautiously asked:
"So, do you... agree with me now?"
"How is that possible? I'm not stupid."
"..."
You... you're definitely lying to me!
After being choked and momentarily unable to breathe, the Serpent Director clenched his teeth, determined to give this stubborn young man a hard time.
"Listen up. I'll tell you exactly what I want to do!"
Taking out the Longevin Lance again and firmly locking onto Lyon's consciousness, the Serpent Director raised his head slightly and spoke with determination.
"I want to overthrow the Cleanup Bureau! I want to overthrow the Thirteen Royal Families! I want to make these things that should have rotted long ago rot immediately! Then, I'll rebuild a new Cleanup Bureau and new Thirteen Kingdoms!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence between the two, seeing that Lyon wasn't shocked by his ambition but seemed to have something to say, the Serpent Director couldn't help but ask:
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Hmm... what should I say?"
"Of course, it's about my plans!"
"If I may say, your plans are a bit conservative."
In the Serpent Director's bewildered gaze, Lyon asked in confusion.
"Think about it. Since you have the ability to take down the Cleanup Bureau, why bother rebuilding it? Just replace it with something new! Is it necessary to follow their old ways?"
"..."
"As for rebuilding the Thirteen Kingdoms, that's even more absurd. What's the point of rebuilding them? In my opinion, except for the Witch Queen Country, we can consider keeping the Grand Court Autonomous Region. The rest of the kingdoms can be combined into one."
"..."
"And the Thirteen Royal Families should be abolished too! If anyone wants to keep their surnames, they can, but they can't call themselves royalty anymore. The entire noble system, titles of nobility, and fiefdoms... all must change!"
"..."
"In my opinion, this world doesn't need kings or nobles at all! We're all human, and the only difference should be between the living and the dead... Hmm? Why aren't you speaking anymore?"
