Chapter 471 The Sage and the Sword Saint Discuss the Tao
ps: I got stuck for a day, had a cold for a day, and I fell asleep with fatigue. I got stuck for three days in one chapter. I’m sorry.
ps1: So I will start to resume updates recently. But I haven’t attended all the time, so I pay off my debts at 3000+3000.
ps2: The main thing to pay off debt is 30 monthly tickets, 2,000 recommended tickets, and Edward's 100 soft-girl coins rewards.
ps3: So tired... I caught a bad cold, but thank you for your support. It was four o'clock on the 19th and I went to bed.

"What is your name?" Keral's voice was gentle, as if he had a faint smile.
"Ah? Oh!" Cassius suddenly came up with a pseudonym. He didn't want to use it, but it was obvious that his fame was too great. Not only the Erebonian Empire, the Kalwad Republic, but even the Kingdom of Torristen, which was separated by a mountain, and the countries that had almost no contact with the Kingdom of Liber were well known.
So... "My name is Cassius, hello." Cassius smiled and stretched out his hand.
The two of them were stunned because they looked at each other and guessed the other's origin just now, but they did not even do basic etiquette.
"Hahaha..." Keral and Cassius immediately smiled happily. The most important thing between wise men is self-knowledge, and then there is an open and honest mutual appreciation. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, the good friends, only met on the battlefield in their lives. Cooperating with each other, they highlighted their reputation. As for the real meeting, they were almost never seen before.
"So you are?" Cassius asked.
"Kelal, Kelal-Etok." It's a name I've never heard of before.
Cassius was not sure whether the other party had covered his real name. It was natural to cover it up, but if the other party was a nobleman who came to participate in the "entertainment" in a country far away, there seemed to be no need to cover it up. After thinking about it, he did not expect that the prince of any country would have such a name. Therefore, he could only smile awkwardly: "Haha, hello, Keral."
"Yes." Keral smiled softly and nodded gracefully.
He didn't care that the other party knew his real name.
So far, only a few people know his name: Tida, Dr. Russell, the children of Cassius, Doroshi of the newspaper and others.
Colos is one, but Colos seems to be unable to protect himself now, and various reasons are added up. The possibility of the other party knowing his name and then knowing from his name is almost zero.
Even if the news of the destruction of the Knights Continental organization over there was at least a year later, Kailar didn't believe that anyone could go to Fantasy Country faster than him.
So all kinds of reassuring Kailar's real name are used without any pressure.
"Haha. I wonder if Mr. Cassius is involved in the Kingdom of Liber?" Keral's words made Cassius stunned. He was obviously an outsider, but he actually asked about his origin so actively. The other party was indeed very smart!
Cassius silently exclaimed in his heart that any wise man should take the initiative in the topic, the initiative in politics, and the initiative in the battlefield are in his own hands.
The real truth is to fight if you want to fight, and the real truth is to retreat if you want to retreat!
Despite this, Cassius did not want to compete with Keral for the initiative in the topic. As the topic gradually increases, the other party will definitely reveal certain information. Moreover, the confrontation in language is relative. Everyone will probably maintain a "1:1" ratio in etiquette. The so-called 1:1 refers to your problem and me, although this is the case most of the time. But if you want to take advantage of others, you have to control the dominance of the topic in your own hands. Is this child going to take the initiative?
With a smile on his face, Cassius smiled, "Well, I am a guerrilla. I am a native of Liber, so after completing the foreign mission, I rushed back. I also wanted to try how much I have."
He curled his lips secretly, and Kailar was a little disdainful. The damn uncle was even embarrassed to say, "I want to see how much I have." Mikasa, who even had full buffs, might not be able to beat him!
This guy is not only modest, but also very silly.
Keral's eyes narrowed, still smiling, but there was a little more aggressiveness in his words: "Oh, no wonder the atmosphere in Gransel is so tense but you are stressed out."
The bullhead's replies were wrong, but the little sarcasm inside made Cassius laugh.
He shook his hand and said nothing, just smiled, "What about you? Mr. Keral, I see you are so young and promising, and somehow you are going toward Gransel, where the atmosphere is so tense?" Cassius was well-educated, and was not angry about a little sarcasm - some people had bad brains and couldn't understand the sarcasm of Keral just now, but some people who understood would be angry. After all, he answered his question like this, but the other party was so sarcasm, which was a little unhappy.
But when he heard his temperless words, Kelar felt a stern. The other party's good temper was more difficult to deal with to some extent. People with bad tempers and anxious always had flaws, but a person with good cultivation and patience could not defeat him.
Just like Zhuge Liang teased and stimulated Sima Yi in every way, but Sima Yi was not fooled. Even Zhuge Liang sent a woman's clothing to Sima Yi was indifferent (of course, it is not ruled out that he had a woman's clothing fetish.
Tsk, it’s really troublesome for a wise man of the same level.
Kailar grinned and replied with a smile: "Of course I came here to watch the big martial arts performance."
"Is it a great martial arts performance?" The word Kailar made him chew it, and the more he chewed it, the more delicious it became. He immediately slapped his thigh: "This word is very useful."
"Haha, is that?" Kailar smiled slightly and slowly took two sips of the potato beef that had grown from boiling hot to warm in his bowl.
I originally wanted to make a stew, but it was a little troublesome. I just cooked the soup.
Although it is a soup, the umami flavor and the gelatin texture of the protein lips and teeth can't be removed.
This is beef, which has high protein and low calories, which is perfectly capable of providing the calories a person needs for a day.
This cattle is not a plowing cow or a dairy cow. It is a rich cattle-type monster on the Torant Plain. This is a very dense ecological chain. For example, the Luan area is very rich in water monsters, while the plants, cow-type and insect-type monsters are abundant here. Astiel and Joshuya said that the area of their family, Lottren is also a specialty chicken-type, sheep-type, cow-type and other monsters. It is said that the water and soil there are several times more fertile than here.
So it is precisely because of this that Kelar can easily cook a delicious potato beef soup.
Keral's movement attracted Cassius's attention, he lowered his head and took a sip
Very delicious! Cassius, who was instantly stunning by the taste, looked down at the soup and was a little surprised.
"Is it amazing? Several simple plants can make the food taste so delicious in one go." Kailar asked with a smile.
Cassius tried to see the origin of the other party's food, but he failed.
This is a cooking technique that does not exist anywhere. Is it a cooking expert? Or is it a cooking skill that she simply likes to eat and is derived from herself?
"Indeed, it's delicious." He admitted this fact openly. Cassius shook his head gently: "I have never drunk such a delicious soup in my life."
"Haha, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. These small ingredients can create such a delicious feeling when combined, let alone the wisdom of countless people?" Keral's words made Cassius's face serious.
"But the unknown ingredients may also be famous poisons together." Cassius said meaningfully, thus opening the beginning of the confrontation between the two.
"But death is not scary, isn't it ignorance?" Kailar asked with a smile.
"Isn't ignorance the happiest?" No ordinary people can understand what the two said, and it is implied that two smart people on the third level can make people faint with just one sentence.
"Isn't ignorance better fooling me? For example, Libert now." Keral smiled and peeled off the skin.
Cassius's face turned shaking. He was right. It was because the people were so ignorant that they were incited so easily. No matter Richard or the people in the Libert newspaper, they could not incite the anger of the people. The people were too impetuous and irrational.
But Cassius felt that the people were too foolish.
This is a fact of course.
The people do not listen to the political ideas and political demands of the ruling people at all, and only ask the ruling people to do this and that in the shortest and most capable places, but this is not only unnecessary for a country, but also wastes a lot of manpower and material resources and time. Those things that require infrastructure that can benefit the country and the people often require a long cycle, slow operation, and consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Such things are things that the ruling people of a country must see.
In such an impetuous world, even leaders have begun to become impetuous. How can this be done?
Cassius's ruling philosophy is - good intentions are not called fraud!
If it weren't for his cover-up of the news, the people in the country wouldn't have known that most of their territory had fallen, and even the royal city of Glensell was defeated. In fact, Liber would have been destroyed ten years ago.
It was precisely because of his concealment that Liber Kingdom gained stable and precious time.
Using his precious time, he captured the levels and then divided the enemy into pieces. That night, he was the protagonist of the whole world. At the same time, in the battles of several war zones, he remained silently hiding from one war zone to another, surrounded the enemy, and captured it.
That night, the world moved with his hands.
From beginning to end, he believed that it was necessary to deceive the people into pursuing politics because of the quality of the people. After all, you cannot talk to someone you don’t even know about how to govern a country. He may be nagging for half a morning for a dime of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
You discuss with him how to govern a country well?
Impossible! Impossible!
So Cassius's political philosophy is "a few smart people decide what millions of people are going."
But Keiral was just attacking his views from various angles, but did not say that his views were bad.
Small countries like Liber are the easiest to become "democratic countries". Similar to Switzerland, they have the highest per capita welfare in the world, the highest happiness in the world, the highest satisfaction in the world, and permanent neutrality in no war.
Therefore, Switzerland has been well preserved in this World War II.
But this does not fit Keral's political views.
Keral has always viewed himself from the standpoint of "a big country". If a big country wants to be strong, its ultimate goal is only "hegemony", and the world is dominant. Global dominance is all indispensable.
But the earth's resources are so small that if one thousand people eat well, one thousand people will go hungry, if one thousand people live to a developed international level, one thousand people will go overload the minimum living standard. China has not yet improved this conversion from the domestic market. The United States is to eat one thousand people in its own country, and there will be one thousand people in the world. When will one thousand Chinese people eat well in China, one thousand Chinese people starve into one thousand Chinese people eat well. It is perfect for a thousand non-Chinese people to eat well.
Similarly, Keral has always had this kind of demeanor of great power. So he is not optimistic about Camelo or Liber now.
——After all, Switzerland’s lingering politics was built on a continent where enemies were watching and chaos were everywhere. However, Camelo was not only independent but also possessed various rich products. The Liber Kingdom was not only isolated from the mountains in small valleys, but also coveted its own developed guidance technology by other countries.
If you don't surrender, try your best as soon as possible.
Now is not the past. Although there is a large area of killing magic, the preparation time is too long. As long as the opponent has a Holy Ten, it can even rebound the opponent's attack. This is not impossible.
Therefore, no one dares to use large-scale weapons of destruction. In other words, even if the technological advantages of the guide are maintained in the overall military, the Liber Kingdom is still at an extreme disadvantage. In the face of absolute military strength, it has no use in any technological advantages. This is why although the United States once led the entire fleet to the Taiwan Strait, it did not dare to fire. Even if the regular army, which was cut to two million, was not the object that any country in the world dared to ignore.
Therefore, the number of people is just! The number of people is strong!
Liber, who has only a few million people, how can he fight with others? How can he resist others plundering him?!
The Kingdom of Liber implemented a "self-sufficiency" well-off life. In fact, with their superb guidance technology and productivity, this is not a difficult task. However, when walking on the road with a pair of gold but without the power to protect yourself, it will be robbed sooner or later.
They didn’t even have a place to complain - this is the world, and this is how China came here before this!
Enemy of the world?
If you have money, you are.
As long as you have money, a group of robbers will come up to pack your underwear and take it away.
The world is not a country. There are no laws formulated by countries to maintain order. The so-called "United Nations" is just a game where the five major nuclear hooligans play cards behind closed doors.
True fairness has not been implemented from the beginning.
Although Keral agreed with Cassius's ruling philosophy and the courage of a big country, he wanted to refute him with the example of successful management of small countries in the future - his political demands are actually consistent with him, but he needs to use Cassius, so it is a good choice to destroy his arrogance and give him hope.
If it were a wheel-to-turn politics, Keral was definitely using heavy history to punch Cassius's face.
To be continued...
