"You won..." Barr looked at the chessboard repeatedly and shook his head with a wry smile, "Can you tell me why I lose every time?"

Magus said while fiddling with the pieces on the board, "Because you always want more, ignore every small loss, and eventually these losses accumulate together and burst out, you will find that you are no longer possible."

Magus and Barr are good friends. It is not easy for a good friend of mine for decades to meet and chat frequently. Even relatives are difficult to maintain such a relationship, which shows how strong the friendship between the two is.

"You have been saying this for decades. Have I not changed at all?" Barr put his chess piece together, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head, "I will still lose anyway, so let's stop today."

Magus doesn't care about Barr's abandonment. As Barr said, such things have happened for decades and he will never change.

In fact, in Margus's view, Barr is a very amazing person. He has a longer-term vision than himself, but he has not done well enough in dealing with details. Perhaps because of his identity as a great nobleman, he subconsciously ignores many subtle details. Taking these details alone will not become any problem, but when all the details are put together, you can foresee a straight line that is constantly deviating from the slightest angle for some reasons, and then it becomes farther and farther.

"I heard Dulin wants..." When the two talked about Dulin's problem, Magus's wife happened to come in with a snack. After Barr thanked him, he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. A happy smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but praise, "Vinica, the snacks you made are as happy as before."

The old woman smiled a little, then looked at Magus silently.

Magus also picked up a piece with a headache and asked for a small mouthful. The smell of licking it was indeed as Barr said, and there was no change from before. He gritted the bullet and praised it a few words, "It's very delicious!"

"You are lying, Magus, the false tone and the hypocritical expression on your face tell me you are lying!" Barr immediately began to sabotage, and then sighed, "Why didn't you want to marry me at the beginning?" He looked at Venica and asked a question that had been asking for decades.

Decades ago, these three were all very good friends. Barr and Magus were both pursuing Vinika. In the end, Vinika married Magus, which made Barr hate and even hate Magus for a period of time.

Under the ruthless ripening of time, everyone became more and more mature, and Barr gradually let go of his anger, and everyone often got together. He always had a knot in his heart, why at that time, even though he was obviously better than Magus, Venica wanted to marry Magus who was not as good as him.

Winica never gave Barr an answer, which made Barr struggle all his life.

"Maybe it's because you're stupid!" Magus didn't give Barr any face either. Their relationship has become more transcendent than ordinary friends, and there is a little bit of contradiction. In short, it's very special.

Vinika did not give Barr any answer and left with a smile. She was in a good mood. There were only two people who could make her happy at her age. One was Dulin's cute young man. He admired his cooking skills very much and took many of them away when he left. This was the greatest compliment to her.

Another thing is to see the mutual slander between Barr and Magus, which made her very happy. In a trance, time seemed to flow back to decades ago under an apple tree, two boys beat each other up in order to compete for her favor.

When Winica was very happy when she thought of the two most noble figures in the empire doing such stupid things, especially doing such stupid things for herself, she became much younger.

Yes, the two most noble figures of the empire.

Barr is just Magus’ affectionate nickname for him. His name is Kubar, the current leader of the old party...

This seems very incredible. The New Party and the Old Party are about to be pissed off in various places to compete for voters' votes, but the leaders of the old Party often go to the New Party leaders' homes to eat and drink while thinking about staking corners. The world is so magical, especially in places where people cannot see it.

After the old woman left, Barr picked up another piece of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it very elegantly, and even could not see any broken pieces falling on his clothes.

"Back to the topic we just said, I heard that Dulin is coming back. Is the engagement ceremony coming soon?" After eating the pancake, Barr sorted out his clothes on his chest, picked up the teacup and took a sip to wash away the food residue that might be left in his mouth. "He made it very beautiful in the West, did you teach him?"

"Me?" Magus sneered, "What can I teach him? I didn't expect him to do so well, and this just proves that we need to assimilate him as soon as possible."

Magus was a little worried when he sighed and fiddled with the pancakes on the plate twice, "We will grow old and die in the end. You may have discovered that so far, few excellent young people can be seen among the new generation of nobles in the empire. Only a few are around that old dog, and a few are around the Holy Majesty. Our place is almost a generational date."

"The children all set their sights on the vulgar surface of the front line. They only think about more benefits, but forget that empire and power are their decent foundation. The international situation is changing too quickly and there are many internal contradictions. If you still can't see the situation clearly, the current system will become a thick coffin board, and they will all be buried in the end!"

"We need a good leader who can suppress others to take responsibility for the next fifty to one hundred years. If I can choose, I would rather not choose Dulin, but I can't see too many excellent roles besides him."

"There is no other choice except to choose him!"

Bar also sighed. Since the New Party overthrew the feudal rule, the peaceful development of more than 20 or 30 years has made many young nobles mediocre, which is what the older generations are most afraid of seeing.

Peace can eliminate the enterprising spirit of too many families, but this is also the choice of the times.

In the past years, the nobles have been constantly fighting each other, and it is precisely this seemingly chaotic attack on each other, allowing each family and every generation to have excellent successors. Because they must be excellent. Once they have a mediocre successor, other nobles will peek at their territory, their wealth, and even want to take away their titles and power. Under such huge internal and external pressure, everyone is crazy and makes themselves as good as possible.

But look at the young generation now, the peace and enjoyment of the young generation. There are only two or three of the hundreds of children in the old dog family, and the others are all bastards who are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun. Peace has made them lose their fighting spirit and make them mediocre, so mediocre that some people are almost unable to support the "noble" sign!

On the contrary, the power of the civilian class began to gradually become prominent. There were a large number of members from the civilian class within the new and old parties. For example, the current party whip of the imperial new party, Bovos, is a very typical representative of civilians who hold high positions in filming.

Now Magus and Kubar can still suppress these capable, courageous and brave civilian members, but when their descendants, the new generation now grow up, they lack the necessary means, they are very likely to be overturned to the ground by these forces from the civilian class.

This is the least unwilling thing for Magus and Kubar and even the nobles to see now.

There is no reason why the power of this country was handed over to the civilians after hundreds of years, and then kicked them aside, so that they might have to be liquidated.

The nobles lost their motivation, but the civilians did not. The new era gave civilians more upward motivation, because this was an era of miracle. As long as you dare to fight, you may not have the chance to climb to the top of the tower!

Barr cleaned up his slightly frustrated mood and asked a question, "Are you sure you can completely assimilate Dulin on our side? You should know that he is also from the civilian class, and perhaps he has a deeper recognition of the civilian class!"

Magus did not hide his avoidance this time, but instead spoke his point openly, "He has great ambitions, as long as he has ambitions, it will be much easier. I have had enough of those young people who are content with the status quo and are waiting to follow the process to inherit the family business."

"Durin's ambition will turn him and the interests surrounding him into new 'classes', who are like the first generation of nobles, and their desire for power will alert them to all possible subversives."

"The times are always moving forward. Since we cannot stop the big trends in the future, then we will join them!"

"If more nobles become new classes, then nothing will change. The only thing that changes is that in this new class, there are more new faces, fewer old faces, but more vitality."

"Durin is a swordfish. If the kids born and raised in greenhouses don't want to be swallowed, the only thing they can do is to fight back."

"Since we have no way to choose the future, let them have the worst environment, either resist or perish!"
