Watch the movie supporting role replacement, the doctor is back to health

No matter how bad Kotori's attitude is, her abilities are obvious to all.

Although she doesn't seem to be as smart as a famous detective, Kotori is undoubtedly a smart person with a clear mind.

In the past, she served as a senior official of a secret organization and the commander of an air vessel. She can advise Emilia on government affairs and her abilities are impeccable.

It was not known whether the Bowel Hunter and the like had anything to do with the Witch's Cult this time, but Subaru thought that, just like Rem's rampage in Aram Village this time, even if the Witch's Cult really attacked in the future, as long as they let Kotori go far away and then they could go as far away as possible, the problem would be solved.

Conan was somewhat skeptical of Kotori's determination.

[Is this true? Would you decide something like this so easily?]

In Conan's mind, he is a famous detective who has received advanced Western education. He pursues "equality" and "freedom" while trying his best to assert himself while respecting "human rights". And Kotori, who has a more powerful background, should at least show an attitude above this, right?

To so easily recognize a feudal aristocracy and help them ascend to the throne that sounds backward and corrupt? This is the opposite of Conan's expectations.

[What else? Do you have any other plans? ]

Kotori replied unhappily.

If this world is a realistic virtual reality MMORPG, then they will indeed have countless side stories to choose from.

However, after it became clear that they could not stray too far from Lugnica and had to gain a certain amount of power in the country, they would inevitably be involved in the upcoming battle for the throne candidate in the country and be forced to take sides?

——Unless they conquer this country and establish a completely new system.

Conan smiled awkwardly. It was indeed not in line with his character to give advice to a feudal noble to help him become king, but he really had no other plan at the moment.

[What about the others? There are 4 candidates for the throne of this country, right?]

[Hey! Padu, what do you mean? ! ]

Hearing what Padu said, Subaru immediately became unhappy.

[I think little Emilia is great, but this is about helping her become the king of a country~. Even if I don't understand these things, I think it's not a good idea to push someone to the position of king just because I like it~]

To be precise, she was fed up with those guys who were just sitting there doing nothing but acting recklessly because of their superior positions!

Obviously, the crisis of Honkai has never stopped, and the Herrscher has always pushed civilization to the brink of extinction. However, the top leaders of the Fire Moths, the last bastion of mankind and the warriors on the front line of resisting the Herrscher and Honkai, are basically all good-for-nothings who will still hold on to the button of power at the last moment of the end of the world!

No! Even if a good-for-nothing sat in their place, it would make the world a better place, right?

Because those good-for-nothings have no talent and are of no use, while those guys are fighting for power and clinging to it tightly, so that all their talents are used to hinder the continuation of civilization, which is a side effect at all!

She was fed up with the situation where, when the city was in crisis, the soldiers who were ready to go into battle were sent to guard the dignitaries and their families and retreat first!

They are even more fed up with the fact that these frontline soldiers are blocked from upgrading their equipment and resting, while a group of new recruits who have never been tested by the flames of war are equipped with the most advanced weapons.

Paduo thinks: If the organization is fully handed over to Dr. MEI, the losses caused by Honkai around the world can be reduced by at least 5%!

Even if it’s handed over to Sister Snake and Brother Jie… things shouldn’t be worse than when those guys were in power… right?

Mebius: I give you 10 points for the above, little Padu.

Padufilis: So, what's next?

Mebius: Hehehe∩_∩～

Padofelis:? ((l)–(l))?

Chapter 195: Good Emperor?

[Even if you say so...]

Natsuki Subaru said this stubbornly, but he knew in his heart that he could not refute such a reasonable argument.

If Emilia just wanted revenge, or if she wanted to help someone and had to go to a very dangerous place to get a certain item - this was as difficult as a side quest in a game, and the transferors would just help her without any psychological burden at all.

Even if they were asked to help Emilia successfully inherit such a large territory as Mezas, Subaru would pat his chest with a smile, not to mention the others, and then take out all the knowledge he learned from games and anime comics, which he didn't know whether it was useful or not, to show off in front of his sweetheart.

Lovely Milia wants to be the king of a country!

This king is not even a mascot with restricted power in modern society, but a true king in ancient feudal society whose words are law!

A king is not only responsible for being a good person, his words and deeds can influence thousands of people. A reckless king will drag himself and several neighboring countries into the suffering of war, while a wise king can rectify the country, develop people's livelihood, and make people live a prosperous life and live and work in peace.

Therefore, pushing Emilia to the throne of a country is definitely not a simple personal issue.

They can go through fire and water for the justice in their hearts, but once this justice expands from an individual or a few people to tens of millions of people in a country, they have to act with caution.

[Do you think Emilia will become a wise ruler? ]

Conan had no intention of mocking Emilia.

According to the most simple thinking, he really hopes that a good person like Emilia, who is simple-minded, innocent and kind, can become the king of the country.

However, although a king's ability to govern is not linked to morality, being thick-faced, black-hearted, and cunning is never a derogatory term for a king.

[Isn't this possible?! ]

[Then let me ask in another way: How many emperors do you know who are considered good people? ]

【The Good Emperor...】

Subaru's face was grim.

He felt that Conan was making things difficult for him, because even he himself did not think that a good man could become an emperor.

Fortunately, he often surfs the Internet, so he actually knows an emperor whose nickname is "Good Man".

【Liu Bei Xuande!! Isn’t he a good emperor?!】

Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, was one of the three most powerful monarchs in the late Han Dynasty.

Although the Shu Han regime he established ultimately failed in the Three Kingdoms contention, his deeds have been passed down through the ages and have become a model of benevolence and righteousness in the hearts of countless literati in later generations.

On the Western Internet, this emperor, who was characterized by benevolence, was nicknamed the "Good Emperor" because he never massacred a city in his life and because of other deeds.

[The reason Liu Xuande could become emperor was because he had two brothers who were powerful generals who could defeat 10,000 enemies, and because Zhuge Kongming, the military advisor, made a three-way strategy.]

[Doesn't Emilia have us too?! With our strength and modern wisdom, plus our status as the Border Count of Roswaal, can't we help Emilia become the king? ]

[But even the good emperor you mentioned eventually lost in the Three Kingdoms. As for other emperors, in the history of a certain Eastern country, there are only a few who can be called benevolent and wise. And those benevolent and wise emperors are also ruthless characters who will take action when necessary. Do you think Emilia can be ruthless enough to give up some of her own abilities to feed the other emperors when facing the difficulties they encounter? ]

[Why do we have to give up one part? Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds? ]

[Because the essence of politics is to divide the pie. If one side gets more, the other side will naturally get less. The problem is that everyone will feel that they have received less pie than others, regardless of whether the actual situation is as they think.]

Conan pouted. Although their high school curriculum did not teach politics, for the sake of enriching his knowledge and experience, he still had his own understanding of politics - probably to the extent that he could understand the inner meaning of the news and take more appropriate actions accordingly.

[Even Liu Xuande was an outstanding general who rose to prominence by killing the Yellow Turbans in his early years, and Emilia, who became the king of a country - do you think she is suitable to appear on the battlefield? ]

[…Is it possible? If it is to protect the country…]

[If you want examples, I have many here. Caiyue, I am asking you, if one day Emilia becomes a qualified king, she will not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the nobles for the sake of the citizens, and will also attack other countries for the peace of her own country. At that time, how will you feel about having played a role in her becoming the king? ]

【…】

Emilia: ...

Parker: That’s too much.

Priscilla Barriere: But what the kid said was absolutely right, wasn't it?

Yoshida Ayumi: Conan-kun~

Maori Kogoro: Tsk! I think what the brat said is really right this time! What's so good about being a king? Looking at Miss Emilia's appearance, I guess she wanted to become a king because of Roswaal's instigation, right? Otherwise, what reason did that innocent little girl have to force herself to become the king of a country?

Rias Gremory: I think that no matter what reason she has for wanting to become king, it is not a sin in itself.

Alexander Anderson: It's really hard to laugh at an alien wanting to be the king of humans! Blasphemy! This is blasphemy!

Julius Euclius: ...In any case, this is the will of the dragon.

Krillin: Dragon? You have dragons there too?

Natsuki Subaru in the light curtain did not pay attention to other places.

If you dig deeper, you will find that Emilia's status as a candidate for the throne was not something she fought for herself, but was chosen by Polkanika, who is known as the guardian dragon of the country.

It was totally unnecessary for him to question Emilia's qualifications here.

However, Conan's question does not consider this point.

King - this is a word that is too far away from ordinary people on Earth in the 21st century.

Anyone who has received a normal education knows the weight of these two words. That is why when Conan asked Subaru if he would regret Emilia becoming the king in his mind.

He admitted that he couldn't honestly say no.

[Then, then are there others? There are still three candidates for the throne, right? Are those people more suitable to be the king than Emilia!? ]

Subaru seemed to have found a life-saving straw!

That's right! He didn't need Emilia to be the best one, as long as Emilia was more suitable to be the king than others, he could convince himself to support Emilia to become the one with power who could influence thousands of people with just one word!

The time he spent these weeks was not wasted!

He went to the capital one more time than the others and spent several more days there. He believed that he knew more about this strange world than the others!

There were no entertainment programs in this world, and in such a long time, he had hardly heard of any special achievements of other candidates for the throne.

Judging from his own experience, he thought that the other candidates for the throne were nothing special! At least Emilia would not be worse than them.

However, Conan shook his head.

Chapter 196 Anna’s opinion on the light curtain.

Anastasia Hexin: It seems that our names will be heard first among those who came from another world.

Re: Life in a Different World from Zero -

Anna looked at the light screen above her head with anticipation and nervousness.

Excluding those items processed by magical technology, their civilization level is no different from that of medieval Europe. Their world does not have the media technologies of live broadcast and television.

What's worse is that compared to Earth, they have not even experienced the baptism of Greek and Roman culture.

Therefore, in their minds, politics is a game played behind closed doors by a small group of people.

But the appearance of the light curtain broke this long-standing tacit understanding.

Anna may be the first among all the candidates for the throne to understand the influence of the Light Curtain on past political competitions!

Although she had never studied journalism or public opinion warfare, her keen business acumen allowed her to realize that the content displayed on the screen would become a huge political show at no cost.

If you want someone to follow you, you just need to share benefits with them; if you want to increase the difficulty to make this person follow you wholeheartedly, you must give this person benefits that are more important than his life.

If you want a group of people to follow you, you must at least make them believe that they can gain benefits by following you; above that, if you want a group of people to follow you unconditionally, you must at least make them believe that you will never forget them and that you can speak up for them.

It is relatively simple to make someone believe in you and follow you blindly. Qualified politicians can do this. It is almost the basic line to the upper class, but Emilia did not even do this well.

It is very difficult to make a group of people believe in oneself. The famous politicians in the past of this world only achieved this in a small circle of aristocrats or even great aristocrats, which was enough to leave a good reputation; being able to spread one's prestige to distant places that are beyond their sight and hearing, so that ordinary people thousands of miles away will also hope that their leader is this person, even among the founding fathers of various countries, few can do it.

However, now, the silver-haired half-elf who had barely reached the passing line of the most basic politician had almost achieved the latter which countless people in history had failed to do - not because of how capable she was, or even because of how good her luck was.

Just because the story that happened around her appeared in the center of the stage of the light curtain - so, everyone in this world, whether they were willing or not, already knew that the silver-haired half-elf was a naive fool with a hard mouth but a soft heart!

How come she doesn't get such a good thing? !

——No, if given a choice, it is still unknown whether Anna would choose to appear in the light curtain.

As an outstanding businessman, Anna is also very familiar with the political struggle methods of the world in the past. She habitually bases the victory or defeat on which side has expanded its base and which side has more cards hidden.

The existence of the light curtain will not only expose all the cards they hold, but will also make their calculations behind the scenes that cannot be heard by ordinary people shake the world...

This alone was bad enough. When Anna thought about their character flaws being exposed in the light curtain, she felt like tearing out her hair.

"Isn't this light curtain too biased towards that half-elf?!"

What should the ideal character of a king be like? 1000 people may have 1000 different opinions.

Some people think that a benevolent king is better, while others think that a king should be majestic.

Some people think that a true king should always look angry, some people think that a king should be more beautiful than the most beautiful dancer, and his voice should be louder than the best singer.

But no matter what people expected of the king's character, they probably wouldn't think it was something to be proud of for a mercenary businessman to become their king.

In this regard, the silver-haired half-elf had the upper hand.

Because no matter what the country's upper class thinks about the ruler's naive and kind character, at least no one thinks it is a bad thing that the king above them is a good person.
