Yi was obviously relaxed and comfortable when she returned to the laboratory. Although Marien was a little dissatisfied with them leaving without permission, she did not show it clearly. Yi Ming ignored her time and intentions, and he and Meallie immediately agreed on the action plan.

"Since those guys are going to treat us as abandoned children, we don't have to be polite. I don't like it whether it's being used or killed. We killed two members of the Imperial Guard. They seem to be very strong, although they are really weaker than us. But I think it will definitely cause a sensation. In any case, the guy who can run out of the street is definitely not as important as Marien. You can find a thug anywhere, but there is only one nuclear bomb. This can be used as a fuse, let's see what the royal family is thinking."

After no longer being confused, Yi Ming immediately clarified his thoughts. The only reason they did not disappear immediately was because Yi Ming's stupid decision had implicated the innocent Lita. In any case, they had to solve this matter. Yi Ming himself already had a good idea, and the problem was only how to solve it smoothly.

It is never easy to live a peaceful life.

From a realistic perspective, peace is the patent of ordinary people, because no matter how hard they try, they will not improve their abilities. Everyone has the so-called bottom line and limiting height. Some people can only do well no matter what, but some people can do the best by just working hard, and even some people can do the best without working hard. A farmer who wants to marry the daughter of the duke can only end up facing the loess and the sky, and even if they are bullied, they are unable to resist. Only living at the bottom of society can have it.

The right to true peace. But those with ability are not among them. People will inevitably experience disputes, oppression or resentment in their lives. If the strength is equal, they will naturally be safe. If the gap in strength is too large, they will easily be regarded as chess pieces that can be used by the superiors. If they do not want to be used, they have to climb up, but this height is endless. The higher the climb, the farther the peace is from you. The person under their feet wants to overturn you, and the person above their heads wants to squeeze you. This is a cycle that can never be stopped.

The simplest and most complete peace is to kill everyone except you.

In this way, the world will be peaceful forever without struggle, disputes, and desires.

Quite naive, but it is the only effective method.

Relative peace means having almost the same strength and then spending a lifetime in the tug-of-war.

This is something that is very difficult for those with ability. After all, the so-called relative equality is like a steel wire and can easily be broken.

Negative peace is something that only ordinary people can do. No matter how hard they try, they cannot reach the state of the superior. Even if they are bullied, they cannot resist, have no value in use, and will not be paid attention to, so there will naturally be no entanglement of danger and interests. In this way, at least one-way peace can be attained, which is a relinquishment to completely hand over one's own destiny to others.

Yi Ming is not a lunatic, he can't do the first type. His strength itself also determines that he is not the second and third type of people.

So they cannot get so-called peace.

Iming's instinct and Meyalie understood this earlier than his reason.

Maybe Yi Ming also understands it, but he just hopes to find another way of life.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this.

(Do we have to choose which side to stand? Or become the third force?)

"The third force is simply delusional to us now."

Yi Ming shook his head.

"Although there is enough power, but without a sense of intimidation, you cannot become a third force. If both sides do not have the idea of ​​'Ah, if this guy goes to the other side, things will become very troublesome', then the third force will only be regarded as the most priority target of attack. I don't want to do this. Now there are only two of us, and there is no power or reputation at all."

(So, where is the focus? How should we treat Miss Marian?)

Mayalie calmly pointed out the key points.

Their position is very subtle and is at a turning point.

If Marian is protected, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the academy.

If Marian was killed like this, it would be equivalent to choosing to stand on the side of the academy. If nothing unexpected happens, he might be treated as an abandoned son and sent to the gallows as a victim to calm the anger of the royal family. However, if he showed strength enough to show a greedy look, this possibility would not be deprived. But the same is true. Even if they protected Marian's vigor, the royal family would not necessarily regard them as their own people, but if they showed value worth utilizing it, it would be the same.

It's not impossible to escape, but Yi Ming doesn't want to face such an ending.

It is not a benefit to determine these.

Anyway, what is left after the struggle for power is all those.

What Yi Ming cares about is something deeper.

"Even if it's not for the protection of Lita, at least we should ask what Ainie means."

No matter what angle, Aini can be regarded as Yiming and his savior. Although the development of the matter is very chaotic and makes people frown, at least I need to listen to Aini's opinions under such a result. Although I can't feel the majesty of her singing as one of the Five Ray Towers, for Yiming and Meyali, Aini is one of the few people who will make them have a good impression of. After all, they owe her a favor, so it is impossible to just forget it.

(Ani...Yiming, you shouldn't have that interest.)

“What’s the interest?”

(Is it a crime to attack a child?)

"It seems that the laws of this world do not have such rules... I was wrong."

Immediately noticed Mayali's anger, and Yiming quickly raised his hand to apologize, although he had no sincerity at all.

"Yiming, Miss Mayalie, what did you go out to do just now?"

At this moment, the living room door suddenly opened with a "bang". Marien hurried into the living room with a serious expression.

"Stop it, why? Something happened outside?"

Yiming then leaned against the sofa and stared at Marien.

"Members of the Imperial Guard were killed. Now the entire Lily Flower City is in a state of alert, and there are a large number of troops outside the academy..."

"It has nothing to do with us. Speaking of which, it is better to have more troops, but there are more people who can protect you, right?"

"That's not what I want to say!"

Marien raised her voice helplessly, then looked at the two of them uneasy.

"You guys... probably have nothing to do with this matter."

“……………What do you think?”

Yiming's vague rhetorical question obviously made Marien even more worried. She bit her lip tightly, not knowing what to say.

(Miss Marian, we hope to get some necessary information from you. Now the situation has changed and we must respond. Can you tell us in detail about the dispute between the royal family and the academy?)

Mayalie's words were very convincing, but Marien was still hesitating. Sometimes, although she was arrogant, she was not a fool. Her mind was very clear and she was quite sure. The so-called arrogance was due to her own personality and had nothing to do with her IQ. Otherwise, she would not have become the top genius in the academy and was called the sixth singing player in the empire.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, but it's really a simple matter to ask us to give up on you. Just give Rita to Aini and then we go out for a trip. Anyway, it's your life... not ours."

"What did you say?!"

It seemed that every time Yiming spoke, she would easily anger Marien. She stared at Yiming angrily, but under Yiming's cold and naked threatening gaze, she said nothing. Then Marien closed her eyes and breathed helplessly.

"Where is Lita?"

“Not back yet.”

Why did Marien ask this question? Although she was a little confused, Yiming still answered her question. Marien bit her lips tightly, and even the biting lips left blood, and she didn't care. Perhaps, the entanglement in front of her was the reason why she was most nervous and uneasy. Yiming and Mayalie sat patiently on the chair, waiting for her to speak, and finally, Marien spoke.

"Do you know why I am called the 'Sixth Pianist of the Empire'?"

"Because you are a genius."

Iming shrugged, and they also learned some of the rumors about Marian. They had only been learning magic for a few years, but their achievements had exceeded many people who had been immersed in magic for many years. In this case, it was not strange to think that she would become a singing commander.

"If this is the case, it will only be called the 'the sixth singing singer who has the most hope of becoming'."

Marien shook her head slightly and denied Yiming's speculation.

"Don't you find it strange? Why am I not the 'most promising' but the sure 'sixth singer'? In fact, although I have made rapid progress, I am still a magician. I have not entered the singer field, nor even reached the class of the singer. There are many people in this academy who are higher than me, so why is it me?"

"You mean...is this something that has been decided long ago?"

Yi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and Marian nodded with a serious expression.

"I will not admit what I said after leaving this room... Otherwise, it will definitely cause panic, especially Lita, and I must not tell her the truth."

(The so-called truth is……?)

"Who will become a chantress is decided at birth."

Marien told the truth without hesitation.

"The so-called chanting genius is a special talent who was blessed by the spirit of magic at birth. Only they can become chanting genius and get the final recognition of the spirit of magic. Otherwise, even if you make any effort and climb the peak of magic, you will not be able to become chanting genius...... This is a secret we have always kept. Anyone who learns magic will not know. It is a secret that only those who will become chanting genius know. We are special and unique. Therefore, we must keep this secret and cannot be known by anyone. You should be able to understand it. If the truth is revealed, then we..."

Marien didn't finish her words, but Yiming understood her thoughts very well, or should be said to be empathetic.

The reason why people can accept the chanting is not an out-of-reach peak, in addition to their strength, is also the reason why they accept it. After all, most people who learn magic now believe that as long as they work hard, they will definitely be recognized by the magic spirit and become the chanting commander. And those who now become chanting commander are because of their own talent and the results of their efforts, and there is nothing to criticize.

But in fact, it is not "becoming the recognition of the magic spirit after studying magic and becoming a singing envoy" but "those who are recognized by the magic spirit will become a singing envoy". This cruel talent difference will put all the efforts and efforts of all mortals into vain in an instant. No matter how hard they try, they cannot fight against the fate of birth. If this secret is really exposed, then the singing envoy will not only not be envied, but will even become the enemy of all magicians. After all, you cannot ask everyone to be a gentleman without jealousy and anger.

And by that time, the world will become chaotic.

"I don't know how the five chants in the academy gathered together, but I know that there is a special sense of the chants. When I was born, the academy wanted to recruit me, but unfortunately because of my special identity... the daughter of the Imperial Magic Affairs Minister made the academy somewhat worried. For almost all the royal puppets who have power in the academy, I became the only bargaining chip they used to fight against. The so-called sixth chants are also the rumor that spreads from the academy, and the purpose is to divide me into the academy. But after all, I am an imperial nobleman, and it is different from the other five chants. So to this day, the royal family does not want to let go of me, the only bargaining chip. The royal family hopes to be centered on me in the future and divide the academy bit by bit... But under this situation, it is hard to say."

Speaking of this, Marien shook her head with a wry smile.

"So, I said that no matter how hard Lita tried, her little dream in her heart was just a fragile dream after all."
