In addition to the shock and helplessness of an ancient tree that may have lived the year before last and died under desire, there are some very artistic chairs next to the round table.


    They should be integrated with this ancient tree. Using its deep buried roots, they chose some of the most suitable parts, and became a piece of furniture with a very artistic flavor through the craftsman''s exquisite craftsmanship.


    Many of the roots have not been cut off, but remain, showing what they look like when they exist in the soil to absorb nutrients.


    Doolin chose one at random and sat down. He patted the armrest. He felt very good. He thought he could get one himself sometime.


    According to his current plan, he will soon form his own Turin faction in the new party. Periodic gatherings will be essential at that time. Now the traffic is becoming more and more developed. So many people can''t squeeze together at that time.


    Margus noticed that Dooling had been knocking on his set of tables and chairs, and introduced a few words with a trace of pride, saying that he had found it in the process of hunting when he was young.


    His first thought at that time was how many people could sit around such a thick tree if it was made into a table?


    A month later, he knew, sixteen people.


    The skin is slightly loose, and the fingers with some spots gently touch it on the table. The rings are clearly visible, and the more they go to the middle, the more dense they are.


    Inexplicably, he sighed, "time passes so fast. He never gives people a gap and runs away from your eyes with a whoosh."


    He sighed and sat down. They were not very close, but the atmosphere in the study was very good.


    When the sun shines in from the bright window, the particles floating in the air always give people a very special feeling, like... Time finally feels tired at this moment and has a little rest.


    They adjusted their mood for a while, and then began to chat before dinner.


    "I heard that schnauder has arrived in the imperial capital. Have you met?", margus always has very accurate information, which has something to do with his attention to this matter.


    Durin nodded. "We just met. Those people are definitely a big deal this time. They directly gave schnauder 500000 benefits, but he was very smart and donated the money to the charity foundation."


    Margus raised his eyebrows. "Oh? This time it was a little beyond my expectation, but it was not a special accident. After all, this matter concerns you. He had to arrange every step for himself."


    "I''ve thought about it for a long time before. Your style is not suitable for politics. The environment in the empire is completely inconsistent with your character. It''s difficult for you to go here."


    "But I changed my mind. I used to like to be alone when I had time, so I built a large pond and raised some agate fish..." he said and smiled, and then leaned back in his chair, showing a very natural and comfortable performance.


    "You know that kind of fish, it''s beautiful, especially when there is light, but they always die in batches. Until my gardener told me that in addition to agate fish, some other fish need to interact in the pond, so that agate fish won''t stagnate for a long time and finally die because of lack of oxygen."


    "So I lost some aggressive little wolf fish that won''t eat agate fish. For a long time, those little things lived well, but then they all died. Do you know why?"


    Durin thought for a moment with his mouth closed, "because the little fish has grown up!"


    Margus pointed to him, and the smile on his face showed that he was very happy. "Yes, those wolf fish have grown up. They are no longer satisfied with eating fish, but also want to taste the taste of blood."


    "The empire is like that pond. I, including others, are like agate fish. It seems that we can decorate the Empire very well, but once we stop, the Empire will be over."


    "And you are the wolf fish. Where you don''t know, there are many people racking their brains to deal with you, which makes me have a very good feeling. Let me see that they start to live again. They start to work hard for a goal and contribute their value."


    "You made a lot of people dissatisfied, but I stopped them. Then I saw them start to make efforts, start serious work, seek higher status and more power, and then continue to deal with you."


    "That''s good. Everyone is moving and no longer dead. Whether they want to kill you or not to be killed by you, it''s a good thing."


    "If there is no sense of crisis, we will become corrupt again. Only when they feel that death is approaching, power is about to be taken away, and everything they have will turn into dust, can the Empire become better."


    Durin''s expression was very calm. He casually inserted, "but I will eat those fish. The wolf fish''s food is other fish, not fish food."


    Margus smiled indifferently, "a place with flowers in full bloom will always only make people greedy, but a place full of death will make people afraid."


    "In my opinion, we are all one, whether the ogding people, the guards, the provincial elegant people or the barbarians in the north. When we gather together, we are called the ''empire''!"


    "People will always die, but as long as the empire is still ''alive'', we are still alive."


    "Let a group of incompetent people gradually bring this empire into the abyss. On the contrary, I hope more people like you will control this country and kill the kingdom of heaven!"


    When he said this, durin couldn''t help laughing and laughed loudly, "I believe the Lord of justice will be very sad to hear you. Maybe he will close the door of heaven for you."


    Margus couldn''t help laughing. "God? The Lord of justice? Please forgive me for my dirty words. Beep, beep, beep, you don''t know how many gods we killed and burned in those years. They always say that even the Lord is crying."


    "But you see, the gospel of God still cares for us!"


    "God is honored because of mortals. What can he do when we don''t admit it?"


    "Sometimes what we think is right, even common sense, is often not necessarily true, and this is exactly what I intend to say to you. Maybe it will make you confused for some time."


    "In fact, some of the Empire you see and the Empire history you come into contact with are deceptive!"


    When margus finished this sentence, he smiled like a child who stole candy, treacherous!
