Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 253 Aldrich’s Ideal

Byrne looked up and stared at the tall bookshelves and the many books, and the excitement deep in his heart emerged.

He seemed to switch roles in an instant and became a real scholar. He couldn't help but ask.

"Is this all knowledge?"

However, the situation was beyond Byrne's expectation. Aldrich actually shook his head. Then the middle-aged man calmly stretched out his hand, and the surrounding books poured out of the bookshelf, and they flew around the two of them.

He looked at the books flying around him and said slowly and calmly:

"The books stored in those bookshelves are basically not the knowledge you imagine. Most of them are various researches I have done, as well as a lot of intelligence, rumors, and information."

Aldrich paused and continued:

"I am indeed a scholar, but my most important observation is people and countries, and I have no idea about unused knowledge. You can understand that my approach is more pragmatic."

"That intelligence and information is useful to the family and myself."

Byrne quickly understood what the other party meant. It turned out that Aldrich Roman, the "Lord of Dragon Tamers" and "Scholar of the Ring", was actually the intelligence chief of the "Night" Roman family.

Then he suddenly realized that no wonder Aldridge has the reputation of "never losing a fight", because people who can do this must do two basic things.

One is someone who can't be beaten without provoking him. Even if he prepares all the bells and whistles, he will still be defeated by the opponent.

Another foundation is to learn to be prepared and master all the enemy's intelligence in advance, so that you can truly make every move in the battle and defeat the strong with the weak.

"It seems you understand."

The middle-aged man who had been calm and decent for many years nodded slightly, and in his hand was a goblet that had been placed nearby, with fragrant red wine in it.

He looked at Byrne, his eyes thinking about something.

Byrne also immediately asked:

"So, Mr. Aldrich, do you have information about the black dragon here?"

"Did you kill Best Rhine?"

Aldrich suddenly and without warning asked the fatal question.

Mr. Byrne was stunned for a moment, then frowned, shook his head and said in a serious tone: "What are you talking about? I can't understand, Mr. Aldrich, you clearly know very well that Viscount Best is a member of the Star Supporting Society. Killed by people.”

"Sir Aldrich, we have been getting along day and night for several years. Why do you suddenly ask this kind of thing? Do you mean you don't trust me?"

"Please don't be angry. I'm sorry, Lord Byrne."

Aldrich immediately apologized softly and continued with a smile.

"I just think you have a motive and that's a possibility. Anyway, no matter what the truth is, I have no evidence, and our two families will have to cooperate for many years to come, so it doesn't matter what the truth is."

"It seems that you still doubt me, Mr. Aldrich. Are the motives you are talking about referring to my special ability?"

Byrne smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said seriously: "I don't think I have any motive. Since I will sacrifice my life to save Zain, could I murder Viscount Best because I don't want to give up my life?"

"Sir Aldrich, I respect you very much, and I hope you can respect me!"

Aldrich was silent for a while, and then nodded very solemnly.

"I understand, I will never talk about this again no matter what."

Byrne nodded slightly, indicating that he would no longer be angry because of this matter.

There was a turbulent wave deep in his heart! Although several years have passed, it is really unexpected that Aldrich is still secretly thinking about the cause of Best's death!

Just now, he suddenly asked such a bombshell question. If his expression and reaction were unnatural, there might be bad consequences.

However, the meaning revealed in Aldrich's words is also worth thinking about.

No matter what the truth is, it seems that he has promised not to pursue it any further, because his special abilities are very valuable, and the alliance of several families is the most important thing now.

"This is it."

Suddenly, Aldrich reached out and pulled out two clean and flat pages from a book surrounding him.

"All the information about the black dragon is on these two pieces of paper. Byrne Fisher, it's up to you to decide whether you really want revenge." Byrne was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but tell his story. Confuse.

"Actually, I'm very curious, Mr. Aldrich, why don't you agree with revenge?"

Aldrich looked at him again and explained his philosophy seriously.

"Well, to put it simply, I prefer to establish a more orderly and lawful country, and private revenge is a representative of chaos, and chaos is the source of all disasters and destruction."

Byrne was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "In a country of order and law, are you a believer in the Church of Order?"

However, Aldrich immediately denied this and just expressed his views calmly.

"No, I am not a believer in the Emperor of Order. I just share certain ideas with them. In fact, the country of Order that I want to establish is very different from the kind of society that the Church of Order hopes to fully serve the extraordinary."

Byrne became more and more interesting as he listened, and then asked further: "I'm curious, what are the differences between the ordered country you imagined and that kind of order?"

Aldrich thought for a moment and then explained:

"I want to build a dualistic country where extraordinary people and mortals can coexist. Extraordinary people will inevitably be the superior ones because of their superior strength. This is something that is difficult for anyone to change, but even ordinary people with no power should be able to retain a certain level of power. dignity.”

"Today's law and order in Siat are often in vain. Byrne, let me ask you, if a main member of a noble family is wandering in the slums of a certain city, and suddenly falls in love with an underage girl, he publicly He took her away and raped her against his will."

He paused and continued:

"What punishment will he face?"

Byrne didn't think twice and answered very truthfully: "If it doesn't alarm too many people and the matter doesn't get too big, he probably won't be punished at all."

Mortals live like weeds, while the nobles have extremely huge power and control the military, legal, administrative and other forces of a region. Even the church tacitly agrees that the status of extraordinary people is superior to others.

Therefore, as long as the extraordinary nobles do not go too far for any evil deeds committed by mortals, there is no possibility of being judged.

The status of extraordinary beings is very transcendent, without any restrictions or supervision.

As long as the cover-up is good, let alone raping an ordinary girl, even private human trafficking and massacre of villages have actually been done by extraordinary nobles.

Especially during the war, all kinds of evil deeds became more frequent, and Byrne had already seen too many of them.

Aldrich nodded and said:
"Yes, this kind of bad things actually happen every day on the continent of Oden. You and I know it very well, but what everyone knows more clearly is that even if we feel uncomfortable with evil deeds, we can still take care of it even if we want to. But come, right?”

Yes, what he said is correct. Byrne fell into silence for a long time, and then asked:
"Sir Aldrich, I still don't understand one thing. Why do you care so much about the life and death of mortals?"

"Good question, but it's also a question that doesn't need an answer. Why can't I care?"

Aldrich smiled and drank the red wine from the goblet.

"As a Siyate person, I hope that everyone who is also a Siyate person can live a better life. Isn't it normal?"

Byrne took a deep breath and continued:
"But you just said it, even if you want to control it, you can't control it at all. It's very difficult to discover the crime, let alone the subsequent trial."

"Well, so the country of Siat needs reform."

Aldrich's words made Byrne think in his heart, is the Roman family really still loyal to the royal family?

"And I have been looking for a ritual spell or similar power that can strictly supervise criminal behavior in various cities and villages, but I have not found it so far."

Byrne listened quietly, and deep down he couldn't help but recall the ambitions and ideals in Best's words. Therefore, he also had reservations about Aldrich's statement.

He feels that you should not listen to what a person says, but rather see what a person is doing, in order to see things more clearly.

Of course, although he thought so deep down, on the surface Byrne still smiled and nodded, saying:
"That's it. Mr. Aldrich is a respectable idealist who really wants to change Siyat. I admire your idea from the bottom of my heart."

Then, he looked at the two pages that recorded the information about the black dragon, and after looking at them for a while, he nodded and put them down.

"I've remembered it all, thank you."

The name of that black dragon is "Black Ember", it is a powerful person at the monarch level...

Byrne took a deep breath, and the most important thing next was to read which book Christine found.

Is there any way to get several people out of here recorded in it?
