Make the dragon great again

Chapter 256 Subjective initiative

Earl Will left the palace full of thoughts, returned to his study at home, waved his servants to leave, and stayed alone.

The Duke Regent would actually stand with them on the [Sky City] issue, which Earl Will did not expect.

After the failed attempt to monopolize the [Sky City] test quota, he was ready to be criticized by the royal family, but unexpectedly, not only did the expected use of the royal family's excuses not appear, on the contrary, as the most powerful person in the royal family now The Duke Regent unexpectedly made a surprising statement.

"Also, there seems to be a split of opinions within the royal family? The regent duke and princess seem to have different views on certain issues..."

Just as Earl Will was thinking about what he had learned from today's secret meeting, the butler knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Master, our manor on the outskirts of the city was attacked by unknown forces, and all the guards of the manor were knocked out."

"Everyone was knocked out?"

"Yes, and... the grape grove we had just planted was nearly half destroyed, and the batch of fine products that had been in the cellar for the longest time were all robbed."

Earl Will stood up from his seat, stunned by the unexpected news.

[City of Thunder] Although it has been shrouded in thunderclouds formed by the leaked power of the legendary formation all the year round, outside the city is a plain with a climate suitable for growing a variety of fruits and vegetables, and it is rich in various luxury fruit wines.

This not too big, but not too small plain, was divided up by various noble families in the kingdom, and opened up into winemaking manors with different outputs. In addition, the part exported to other countries can be a large source of income.

The manor on the outskirts of the city mentioned by the butler is such a wine-making manor, and this manor is under the management of Earl Will in name, but in fact the income generated is controlled by the family.

"Is there any clue? Is it from the Belize family, or the Earl of Nacre?"

Earl Will listed a few suspects that first came to mind, and although he didn't say anything, he actually had doubts about the royal family.

"About this..." the butler hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything you dare not say?"

"The other party didn't leave any clues. We... can only judge that the number of the other party is not many, at most five or six, and there are at least four third-order transcendents."

A fourth-order transcendent is at least a gold rank among adventurers, and with a little accumulated performance, it is a diamond rank.

Four diamond-level adventurers, at any time, as long as the hero-level is not out, they are a force that cannot be ignored. Even in Earl Will's suburban manor, there is only one long-term diamond-level resident. —Of course, this person was also knocked out.

"Damn! Who the hell is taking the opportunity to target us! The torrential rain some time ago caused a lot of losses, and it was hard to minimize the losses before the planting season, and someone took advantage of our strength to break the [ Sky City] now, take the opportunity to destroy it!"

Just when Earl Will was about to bring his men to the manor on the outskirts of the city to inspect it himself, another servant came to report that a certain shop of the family in the city had also been attacked.

The consecutive attacks in such a short period of time are most likely the same group of people.

Regardless of rushing to the outskirts of the manor where people had already left the tea, Earl Will made a decisive decision and led his people to the shop where the attack had just occurred.

I just rushed to one place and saw the shop guard who was beaten into a pig's head and passed out on the ground. Before I had time to investigate, I received news that another shop was also attacked.

Earl Will hurriedly led his men to the next place, but he was still a step late and received another report of an attack.

"It's not over yet, it's too bullying!"

Earl Will was angry and aggrieved. He had suffered heavy losses in [Sky City] before, and he had to face the accountability of his own family and allies. As a result, another incident happened. He will be deprived of his title by a vote of the noble council for "committing certain major crimes"...

Finally, while chasing all the way to the family's last property in the capital, Earl Will finally caught up with the attacker.

"Parker, it's you!"

Earl Will looked at the man in front of him in horror and anger. This man was the "betrayer" Parker Darryn that he hated so much.

At this time, there were several masked people standing beside Parker. Judging from their aura, they were all third-order transcendents who were not inferior to Parker.

Damn it!Where did this guy get these helpers?

Parker stared at Earl Will, who had a gloomy face, at the man who proposed that ridiculous plan, which caused his life to suddenly turn around because of a trial.

He originally thought that after seeing the "culprit" Earl Will, he would be filled with righteous indignation, or at least very angry.

But after seeing Earl Will, Parker's heart did not rise too much. His mentality was much calmer than he expected, and he was far from meeting Rex for the first time and knowing that he was a dragon. Subordinates come and go in waves.

"Parker, this is the capital of the kingdom. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the help of a few third-level transcendents. Look up at the sky. Under the cover of this legendary magic array, even if you are all heroes, there is no one. There is no chance of winning!"

Earl Will verbally threatened the other party, but in fact he had secretly asked his men to find support.

"Your Excellency, don't think that I don't know. The large formation in the capital will only be activated automatically when the capital is under serious threat, and my behavior does not threaten the capital itself. How could it lead to the suppression of the large formation?" Woolen cloth?"

"Hmph! You have violated the kingdom's laws. The royal family can completely open a large formation manually to target you dangerous elements. What's more, there is no need to open a large formation to deal with you. The brave and glorious royal guards will subdue you !"

Faced with Earl Will's cruel words, Parker and the masked Hank and others didn't care at all.

When it comes to the laws of the kingdom, Earl Will bypassed the noble council to arrest Dai Li first, which is considered illegal when pursued. Therefore, Parker is now taking revenge on Earl Will's family business. There is actually evidence in the law.

The more Parker listened to it, the more bored he became. Nobles, laws, etc., go to hell!

"Don't talk nonsense, we all know what's going on. Let me tell you the truth, Your Excellency, I have already got the support of some big figures. Your accusation against me is destined to be unfounded. I am here this time to make a statement. Breathe!"

So, Parker didn't wait for Earl Will's answer, and rushed towards him.

"Stop him! Stop him!"

……

"It's fighting."

Fay was chewing on the snack in her hand, which she passed by a street vendor—of course, she secretly left a small gem fragment for the vendor, and whether the other party could find it was not her concern within range.

Smaug turned a blind eye to Fay's behavior and said:

"Next, we just need to wait for other nobles to get involved and for Yuri to observe the changes in the collective spiritual resonance, and our mission will be completed."

While chewing on the snack, Fay said:
"I don't understand, [Sky City] is so big, the master wants to collect the collective spiritual resonance of these Gaia species, why not just raise some Gaia species in [Sky City], and it is so troublesome?"

Smaug was asked this question, and after a while, he replied:

"Not long ago, I heard Lord Adrian talk about a concept called 'subjective initiative'. Every independent intelligent life has this talent. It is the root of intelligent creatures' positive feedback to the real world. the source of their creativity;

"If this talent is lost, then an intelligent creature will never change and never progress... I think Lord Adrian did not choose to keep the Gaias in captivity, probably because he needs these Gaias to maintain their subjective initiative, In order to create some surprises that he can't expect?"

"Surprise... Watching these little bugs fight with each other, what surprises can there be?"

……

To be continued, change first and then change.
