"So what?" Danica looked at the painting hanging on the wall and said lightly, as if slightly mocking.

"What?" Elizabeth didn't understand for a moment.

Danica said: "I mean even if the civilians have strong destructive power that can fight against the nobles, so what?" Danica smiled cruelly: "The four intelligent races have ended the cruel rule of the dragon, but now, the nobles in power have turned into evil dragons and tried their best to exploit and oppress the civilians who account for the majority of the population. This is a kind of reincarnation, but can you say that this kind of reincarnation will not continue?"

"You mean..." Elizabeth seemed to understand a little.

Danica said: "I mean, even if those civilians have powerful powers that can overthrow or even replace the rule of the nobles over the world, so what? They also need organizers and managers, and those managers will transform into new evil dragons."

Danica pointed to the miserable family on the painting and said, "It is a fact that civilians often have to be oppressed and exploited. However, if the social production capacity is better, they will live a better life. If the social production capacity is poor, they will end up. What kind of crisis is that, those glamorous little nobles, or according to the southern coastal areas, the so-called middle class will be robbed, not the robbers who directly demand money or death, but through systems, laws, and organized robberies of wealth. Civilians do not correspond to nobles, but those in power, whether the person in power is a dragon, aristocrat of the four major intelligent races, professionals, big merchants, or even those leaders elected by civilians themselves, as long as they are in power, they will exploit and oppress the civilians..."

"As you say that, civilians will never have a chance to make a comeback?" Elizabeth couldn't help but interrupt Danica.

Danica was silent, and after a while, she said: "Maybe there will be no one, no way out, let alone a class, but it is really difficult for them to find their own way out, because they are fighting against human nature. When those people from civilian origin become powerhouses, they will serve the interests of the class of powerhouses they are in now, whether they want to admit it or not, this is human nature."

Elizabeth looked at Danica and said with a complicated expression: "Are you so pessimistic about the development of human civilization?"

Danica nodded and said, "Yes, I am pessimistic about the existence of civilization itself. I think civilization is like clothes. Whether it is a simple animal leather jacket or a gorgeous silk clothing, it is just a piece of clothing and does not change the essence of humans and animals. The so-called intelligent race is just a life guided by ancient instincts, and civilization is just a packaging of a lifestyle."

Speaking of this, the two of them fell silent and stood quietly, looking at the painting.

After being silent for more than ten minutes, Danica smiled and said, "I'll just say that discussing these metaphysical things will always make people feel depressed, so let's talk about it. Elizabeth, I once read a little history in the Royal Library of the Elf Royal Court. Forty thousand years ago, when the Elf Empire was just established, the people in power, that is, the so-called nobles, were completely hereditary. At that time, it was almost impossible for civilians to be promoted to nobles. Before, they could rely on the battlefield to earn military merits, but after the empire was established, there was no chance of obtaining military merits. Later, at least at the end of the Elf Empire, professionals and nobles could be equated. Even if they were civilians, as long as they were professionals, they would be treated by nobles and enjoy the rights of nobles. You see, this is a big change, even more than the changes we may face.

It was even more earth-shaking, but it was the period of the Elf Empire. The elves, known as conservative and conservative, could accept this change and absorb it into the social order. Why can't we? If your feeling is right, then we are also in a change. In this change, civilians will be promoted to nobles and to those in power. When they are promoted in social status, they have already left the identity of civilians, and their interests are different from those in the civilian period. Therefore, with the development of civilization, more and more civilians may be promoted to those in power, but civilians themselves will never be those in power. Even if they can choose to control who is in power, they are not in power. They will still be oppressed and exploited by those in power... Let's not talk about it, why did they withdraw the topic again?" Danica smiled and shook her head.

"Lemir." Elizabeth suddenly said a name, "Lemir is a civilian... According to your words, he is a bureaucratic noble."

Danica nodded and said, "Yes, Lemil, including Aishe, and even Catherine. Many of the officers in the military are civilians, but they are all professionals. The Administration and Aishe Chamber of Commerce are different. Many of them are ordinary civilians. After all, civilians don't require much. Giving a few gold coins can make them devote themselves to their work."

Most of the work of the Ministry of Administration and Aixue Chamber of Commerce does not require the strong force of professionals. An ordinary person can also become a big businessman, and a professional with strong power may not be able to do a good job in a good business. Now, ordinary people are also enjoying the treatment of aristocrats, which is impossible in other places. Because a society has limited resources and some ordinary people enjoy the treatment of aristocrats, it will definitely harm the interests of another part of the "real" aristocrats. They will use the powerful force of professionals to tell those ordinary people with smart minds that interests need fists to protect. Typically, like the southern coastal areas, many of the big merchants there are ordinary people, and they still create huge wealth.

He enjoyed a luxurious life, but now, the big merchants in the coastal areas of the southern coastal areas were tortured by the larger fists of the Light, and it is said that they could hardly hold on. But that sentence is not wrong. In the Gemini Kingdom, the interests of these ordinary bureaucratic nobles were also protected by fists. This fist was Danica, the owner of all power in the Gemini Kingdom. When she thought that using ordinary people could better allow the administration and let the Aishi Chamber of Commerce run, those so-called "real" nobles could only admit it silently. Don't forget that at the beginning of the founding of the country, Danica killed all the original nobles of the entire Twin Cities. Anyone who dared to disobey the will of the queen, no matter how big the nobles were, had only one way to die.

"It looks like you're ready," Elizabeth said.

"So," said Danica, "but I did not do this for the kind of crisis you feel. Civilians have strong energy. This is the point I have always adhered to. Even if they do not have the powerful destructive power to overthrow the rule of aristocrats, they are still the maker of social wealth. This is enough. Aristocrats of all sizes enjoy too many privileges, which is what I always think..."

While the two were chatting, a guard maid came over and said, "Master, Miss Ai Xue is here."

"She knows I'm here?" Danica asked strangely.

The guard maid said, "No, she doesn't know you are here, but Miss Ai Xue does have the habit of watching art exhibitions."

"Oh, that's it." Danica said, "Then let her come."

Ai Xue did come to the art exhibition. If she really wanted to talk about it, she was probably the most interested in art among the top aristocrats in the Twin Cities. This exhibition was built by her, not for profit, and even had to pay money every month, but she didn't care. She felt very relaxed when she had time to come here to stroll.

But today it was a little different. When Ai Xue saw a maid walking down from the upper floor, she was shocked. Although the maid was wearing an ordinary maid's uniform, Ai Xue could tell at a glance that this was a guard. In the entire kingdom, only Her Majesty the Queen had a guard who acted as a maid. Emily, the commander of the guard, did not have this qualification. The maid of the guard was here, which means that Danica was also here.

At that moment, Ai Xue had the urge to leave. Although she often appeared in the palace, and even Danica was responsible for every meal, Ai Xue always felt nervous and uncomfortable in front of Danica - the terrifying impression that Danica left in Ai Xue's heart was too profound, and it was not just Ai Xue, but Danica had left a terrifying mark in everyone in the entire Gemini Kingdom.

Ai Xueqiang calmed down, showed a decent smile on his face, and stood there waiting.

The guard maid walked up to Ai Xue, bowed and said, "Miss Ai Xue."

Ai Xue asked, "Has the master come too?"

The guard maid said, "Yes, the master and Miss Sennas are watching the paintings on the fourth floor."

Elizabeth? It was probably Elizabeth who brought her over. Ai Xue thought to herself that after all, the master she served was not interested in the so-called works of art, and she knew that.

"Okay, I'll go up and take a look." I already knew that Danica and Elizabeth were here, so it would be too rude to just leave without going there.

Up to the fourth floor, Aishi saw Danica and Elizabeth chatting in a small exhibition hall, talking to a painting. She took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and walked over.

When Aishi came, Danica and Elizabeth were no longer discussing the status of civilians and social change, but instead came back to this painting.

"In fact, in terms of artistic quality, this painting is also very good," said Elizabeth. "From composition, proportion, color and so on, it's all very good."

"Is that?" Danica took a few steps back and looked from a distance, saying, "But I think this painting is too full."

"It's too full, what does it mean?"

Danica thought for a while and said, "Or it's too similar and too cumbersome. This painting reflects the suffering of the escaped people from all aspects and angles, but I don't think it needs so much. Just like opera, like literature, sometimes a strong emotion only needs a proper sentence, and the detailed discussion will seem too... It's flat, yes, this will reduce the impact of this emotion."

Elizabeth glanced at Ai Xue who was standing next to her and said with a smile: "Okay, you should be able to see a lot of those paintings in the future. After all, as a queen and a queen with a high concentration of power, the influence of one sentence is huge."

This sentence made Ai Xue's heart thump. As far as she knows, Danica has never expressed her preference for artworks. The main reason is that she doesn't care about these things at all. But now, by chance, she has expressed it, but how can she pass it on to the artists and the Queen's artistic tendency? There are only three of them present. Danica and Elizabeth will not do such things. Their mind is not on this. The most likely one is Ai Xue herself. She will customize it according to the artistic tendency shown by Danica, at least consciously supporting her.

This is not a big deal. Many people in power even like other people's flattery. But it's different for Danica. She doesn't want anyone to see through her mind because she has too much power. A person who sees her through will influence her decisions and thus affect the development of the kingdom. So whether it is Aishi, Lemil, or Catherine, try to do whatever Danica tells her, and don't guess her thoughts, and don't show it even if she guesses. This kind of pleading will not bring any benefits, but will only bring danger.

Sure enough, Danica said lightly: "It doesn't matter. I'm not very interested in artworks. Many people, such as you, will think this painting is very good, and there is no problem!"

Elizabeth didn't notice anything at first, but when she heard Danica's response, she looked at Ai Xue's nervous look. She seemed to understand something and stopped talking.

Danica said to Aishi: "But the idea of ​​this exhibition is good. I think the Twin Cities should have a museum of their own. This is a manifestation of the prosperity of a country's culture. You can start building one, and there is no financial problem, right?"

"No." Ai Xue said immediately, "I will start doing it right away."

It is of course very expensive to build a museum, but compared to Danica's previous decision, like rebuilding the entire Twin Cities and building a road of thousands of kilometers, the museum costs only a limited amount. The Aishi Chamber of Commerce can still allocate this money if it makes a slight adjustment.

Danica nodded, looked at the sign below the painting, and said, "Ten gold coins? This painting is not expensive."
