Hey, King!

Chapter 379 Chapter 382 I went back
Dagon was dumbfounded when he heard the news He opened his mouth wide, unable to move.

The Council repealed the Equality Act with a new proposal, citing the reasoning that "dwarves have different lifespans and circumstances than humans, halflings, and gnomes, and absolute equality brings absolute inequality. Fair, so under the Equality Act, the Equality Act must be abolished."

Just over 60 percent of the votes in favor announced that the Equality Act, which had been in place for less than a year, was dying. Parliament will take it to the Spirit King's approval within a week, thus formally ending the Equality Act. In fact, it can't be said that the life is dead, but it should be described as a sudden death. The news hit Dagon's head like a hammer, his ears buzzing.

"Dagon, breathe, breathe!" Professor Dongdong was a little annoyed. He was also very uneasy when he sent the news, but he felt that it was better to come in person than Dagon to hear the news through other means. "It's the Illusion Technique, what you heard is the Illusion Technique."

"Is it the Illusion Technique?" Dagon, as if the drowning man had grabbed the life-saving straw, began to breathe heavily. Professor Dongdong waited for him to calm down, then shook his head and said, "It's not the Illusion Technique, but there is still a chance to save this matter."

"Teacher, don't toss me like this, just say it. Let's go!"

"Spirit King can dismiss the motion without signing it. The reason is ready: it's just been less than a year, and the Equality Act has not caused any practical problems, completely There is no reason to deny it like this. Elves are not human, and they will not change so much, at least there is no such precedent in the past."

"Yes, according to the procedures of the council, there is still such a possibility." Dagon lifts the head , press the forehead to suppress the throbbing feeling inside. "Should I go to see the Spirit King now?"

"You can try, but if you can't go, the Spirit King won't see you. Maybe you can go to the Parliament and find the Acting Prime Minister of the Parliament. ." Professor Dongdong thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let me go, you don't even know who to look for."

"I'll go with you." Dagon said: "The Equality Act "It's too important to me, I can't sit in the dormitory and wait."

"Then I'll cover it up with the Illusion Technique, so as not to have another assassin ambush you."

Dagon nods, Then fully armed followed Professor Dongdong and left the Academy. Although covered by the Illusion Technique, Dagon knew that those mercenaries had no ability to see through them, but he still hoped to teach a few short-sighted lessons in order to vent his suffocating emotions.

It's a pity that the professor's Illusion Technique is so good, they came to the council safely and smoothly. Dagon is very familiar with this doorway, where he received the most enthusiastic applause of his life, and at that time he was full of hope, really high-spirited and vigorous. But when he came here again, he was in a completely different mood, an extremely heavy sense of frustration was pressing on his shoulders.

Professor Dongdong went to negotiate with the clerk of the parliamentary council, hoping to meet the acting prime minister. Dagon stood not far away, watching their increasingly heated discussions, and knew that things were definitely not going well. After a while, Professor Dongdong came back dejectedly, sighed deeply, and said:

"No chance. The acting prime minister didn't see us at all, he just let us go to the New World management office. Outside visitors have no interest."

"Then the Spirit King remains." Dagon said, "Professor, I know the chances are slim, but I am not willing to try it at all."

"The Equality Act is not only for the Jiangu clan, it is also important for us dwarfs." Professor Dongdong clenched the teeth and said, "Let's go, I'll try my old face and it won't work!"

When they came to the palace, it was dusk and the gates were closed. Professor Dongdong contacted everywhere, said countless good things to the palace guards, and finally found someone to send the news in. After that, the two waited outside the palace gate.

"If Spirit King is willing to meet us, then our time will be very short, so we can only wait here, so as not to miss it." Professor Dongdong used spell to gather the moisture in the air, drink it to moisten Then he let out a long breath and said, "If you don't get a reply by noon tomorrow, then you don't have to wait any longer."

"Thank you, teacher," Dagon said.

"Don't thank me, I think this matter should be done, so I will do it without your thanks." Professor Dongdong said: "In order to pass the Equality Act, you spent three hundred Contribute more points, those elven families have all received money, how can they go back so quickly? It's less than a year after a bill was passed, and it is rejected. This is... unprecedented, unprecedented!"

Dagon has calmed down at this time - or he thinks he has calmed down - he found that Professor Dongdong has hidden meaning. "Teacher, have any passed bills been rejected before?"

"I have never met in my life, there are in the history of elves, but those bills that are usually nearly a hundred years old are normally eliminated. , it's not like this, it's not like this." Professor Dongdong shook his head and said, "I can't understand the changes now."

"Why do you say that?" Dagon asked.

"The elves have a long lifespan, and they are difficult to change. The life of a dwarf, to be able to live to seventy years old is proud enough, but it is still too short compared to elves. It is often said that it takes a hundred years for elves to make friends , so elves don't have dwarf friends. I...I should never have encountered a changeable elves in my life, and they have changed so drastically. All these years, elves are like...like people."

Dagon doesn't have as much insight as Professor Dongdong, and he doesn't know how to respond. At this time, the night was getting darker, the gate of the palace was still closed, and the elven curse sword on the sentry kept staring at them, giving people a constant sense of oppression and expulsion. Dagon suggested that Professor Dongdong stay away a little, rest under the big tree opposite, and at least have a place to lean on. It seems that this night will be spent outside the palace.

Professor nodded, he is also a little tired. The two sat down against the tree, with their backs on the rough bark, their legs stretched out. After a while, Professor Dongdong entered a state of half-dreaming and half-awake. He has said a lot today, and he is getting older and needs more rest.

Dagon was completely sleepless. Still thinking about the veto of the Equality Act, he found himself not really "cooling down". He began to focus on thinking, re-examining all aspects of the Equality Act, and at the same time examining all aspects of Elven society. Although there is still a last hope, this hope can only be pinned on the Spirit King, which is a bit too slim, so Dagon told himself: You must reflect.

Combining with the recent rumors about the Asneril family, Dagon gradually sorted out the clues and relationships. Some families used their actions at the council to warn the Asneril family that they had already discussed the prime minister. They believed that the Equality Act did not involve elves and would have the least impact on the family, so it was the most suitable target. Withdrawing this bill is tantamount to telling the Asnerel family: Your hands should be recycled.

In Dagon's mind, the "Equality Act" is the most important thing, but in the mind of the elves, it is only a moral self-promotion and self-satisfaction at most, and it is a thing that does not involve practical interests. Although Dagon is very clear that the Equality Act can also bring benefits, and it is a long-term benefit, but the elves can completely ignore those long-term benefits. Measured by the scale of the elf, the influence of a rising family will last for a long time, far from being comparable to something like the Equality Act.

Dagon thinks it's right, it doesn't have the same value on the elves' side, and the lesson is very profound.

He looked up, and the moonlight caught Dagon's eyes through the shadows of the leaves. Today is the full moon, and the moonlight is surprisingly bright. If it is an elves, it should be a time when poetry or singing should be flourishing, and some artistic emotions must be inspired. But to Dagon, moonlight is meaningless, just a bright thing in the sky. Jiangu clansman has lived underground for so many years without the help of moonlight, and has no sense of it.

The same moon, different values, that's the difference.

Everyone has a steel scale in his heart, and the combination of countless scales is the general trend. Elf's scales are not the same as Dagon's scales. Even if they think about problems from their own perspective, the weights on the scales are quite different.

"The elves have a flying city, an empty Central Continent, and a prestige accumulated over a long period of time. They also have a newly created rune, a elf card, and a bright future visible with naked eyes. There are so many weights on one end of the scale, and on the other end, the interests of the dwarves have no weight at all.”

“Three hundred contribution points can tilt the scale temporarily, but it After all, it can't last." Dagon followed the guidance of the moonlight and looked at the Spirit King Palace, which seemed to be covered with silver white tulle. "Even politics turned out to be this way of playing, it turned out to be just a shaky game of balance based on individual interests. It wasn't solid, but the long lifespan of the elves gave it a layer of lasting glory. Others The 'eternal elves' in the race's mouth are just an illusion, like an Illusion Technique. Elves are also fickle, and what they do not change is to measure their interests."

"The interests of the Jiangu clan cannot be borrowed from the elves. Hands do it." Dagon no longer looked at the Spirit King palace, but lowered his head. A group of ants are working hard to cut and transport the dead cicadas. Their tireless and tireless efforts ensure that their companions in the cave have enough food to eat. "If you want equality, it's not even a matter of weights, but there should be another scale, a scale belonging to Jiangu clansman. No, Jiangu clansman should not use a scale, but a huge weight, bigger than the scale itself. A solid, heavier, more decisive weight. Only one line on the weight is enough: the happiness of Jiangu clansman."

"This world doesn't need scales, just weighs." Dagon looked Seeing the group of ants that both divide labor and cooperate, my heart gradually became clear. "Jiangu clansman doesn't need to be constantly changing and jumping on both ends of the scale, just combine to form a strong enough weight, then any scale that tries to weigh Jiangu clansman's interests will be defeated. Genie There's no need to play this game any more. Dagon, you should do something serious."

Dagon opened his eyes and thought for a whole night, but he didn't sleep all night. On the second day, he didn't feel tired at all, but High spirits and high spirits. Professor Dongdong blinked, feeling that Dagon was a little strange. But when Dagon saw him wake up and began to ask for help, he seemed to be the same student from the past.

They waited until noon, and then until dusk, and the Spirit King still did not pass them on. So the two of them went back.
