Chapter 471 - 408: Revolution! The Provocation of the Nobles!
The intense light shone down, causing Lin Ke to involuntarily use his optical skills to ease eye strain.This profession of "Lighting Master" still isn’t quite professional... Lin Ke still had time to think about other things.
And as he re-entered the venue after the wedding, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
In some expensive boxes, even the normally reserved nobles unable to contain themselves showed a slight change in expression.
Lin Ke!
Lin Ke Azen!
This is the person who repeatedly creates miracles.
Since his youth, he became renowned in the Gula Kingdom, and on the day of coming of age, he had already entered the Noble Council, turning the tide of affairs.
And now, this Duke of Lava even claimed in the Great Wilderness Monthly that he would announce measures and systems to change the plane at the gathering.
Change the plane!
Apart from the Dominator, even the legends and deities can only change planes through destruction or gradually change them over time.
And yet, little Lin Ke dares to change the plane, to change the world?
Lin Ke is only at level fourteen!
At this moment, Lin Ke also smiled and began to speak, "Good evening, everyone! Just got married, feeling like it’s still a dream, you know, I established a relationship with one of my wives just a few days ago..."
Lin Ke started with a relaxed tone, slowly beginning his narration, as if telling a story.
But then, at a certain moment, he suddenly changed the tone of his speech, "... But, is such a beautiful life truly beautiful?"
Is this kind of beautiful life... truly beautiful?
What does that mean?
The audience was puzzled.
"Here it comes..." In the box, the Sleepless chuckled softly, "Lin Ke said this time he wouldn’t intervene, he wants to see which of those corrupt and stubborn nobles are around."
"He himself is a noble." The Moon Goddess maintained her aloof and cold demeanor.
"Exactly... this little fellow Lin Ke is quite interesting, being pushed to change and wanting to change by himself — these are two different things." Sleepless laughed, then gestured playfully at the Moon Goddess, "If you weren’t born early, you wouldn’t be able to play with him."
The Moon Goddess said no more, only looking inward at the field.
Seeing this, Sleepless also fell silent.
Meanwhile, in a certain box, a middle-aged man dressed in white and blue noble attire had a glimmer in his eyes.
"Master, everything’s been arranged." A butler approached and whispered in his ear, "That Charlie is very on track..."
"Don’t speak." The noble glanced at the butler, "This is the Great Wilderness, be cautious with your words."
"Yes, yes..." The butler was startled, quickly bowed his head.
"Also, about the Deep Blue Report, remember to arrange it." The noble’s eyes glimmered darkly, "My brother wants to protect him, but... I need the frontier."
"Yes, Master..." The butler, sweating profusely, then retreated.
He was already the more than three hundredth butler; aside from the first one who died in war, the others had died mysteriously.
Those who understood understood.
"Ah, my Deep Blue family..." After stepping out, the butler sighed, wanting to mutter to himself but soon stifled the urge to speak, then hurried away.
...
In each of the boxes, whether nobles or chieftains, one by one, their expressions changed, their attention constantly on Lin Ke’s speech.
Some reporters from various newspapers in the Gula Kingdom were busy recording what Lin Ke said for transcription.
In the live stream aspect, Bingbing at this time said not a word, only listening to her idol Lin Ke, because at this moment, there was no need for her to speak — the audience just needed to listen to Lin Ke’s words.
And at this moment, Lin Ke continued his slow narration, "... Our human race’s beautiful life originates from the nobility! Throughout the Middle Ages, the Ancient Era, the Ancient Times, the Mythical Era, and even before the Mythical Era, ancient nobles led our human race from unmarked paths to glorious prosperity..."
It sounded like a praise of the nobility, but the nobles were all inwardly alarmed.
Those with insight had long known Lin Ke’s speeches were preceded by commendation followed by criticism or vice versa.
Praised the nobility’s greatness now, to scold them fiercely later.
"...Including the Holy Life Alliance, including the Eternal Freeze Court, including our Naseng and beyond! The nobility, or lifelines similar to nobility, have always led their clans to the peak and future!"
"However, I’ve found that the current nobility has changed..."
"I once read in a book that the Insomnia Emperor said such powerful and bold words as ’The human race will forever stand unyielding’, also read Emperor Gula I’s ’Victory or death’, but from ancient times to the present, our noble system has changed!"
"During the Mythical Era, what did our human race rely on to persist to today? At that time, the old nobility, there was Saint Andrew willing to give up his legs, my Azanen Clan willing to give up our bloodline, countless heroic martyrs born in blood and scorched earth."
"They were selfless, intent on the survival and future of the human race... Just like my Azanen Clan, the original ’Blood Torrent’ lineage, to achieve final victory, they extracted the Power of Laws from the bloodline as supplements for the human army, causing the bloodline power to regress to ’Torrent’, then further to the current ’Rapid Flow’..."
"Countless old nobility, braved dangers, sacrificed without fear! But look at now... how many nobles survive based on the prestige of their ancestors until this day? How many nobles are engaged in oppressing citizens, plundering and grabbing by force?"
At this point, Lin Ke paused, scanning the high places of the stadium, those VIP seats costing five thousand Azanen coins each.
"Now, how many heirs of nobility think not of enjoyment all day? Enjoying beauties, wealth, and power, reveling in the pleasure of recklessly dominating commoners!"
"I have very limited contact with other nobility; I am often labeled as a ’country noble’ by others. I learned from books that nobility should be fearless, kind, approachable, wise, helpful, ready to sacrifice, and supportive of each other..."
"But, when I decided to ’lead the charge’, so many nobles considered that I possessed noble virtues..."
Lin Ke’s voice grew heavy, "Is this... truly noble virtues?"
"Surely... isn’t the adoration and support nobility receives from commoners because nobility protects them?"
"For the nobility, leading the charge is what should be done! Otherwise, the farmer who feeds you, the servant who attends to your needs, and in the end, you let someone else lead... what remains your noble function?"
"Nobility, nobility has never been about lineage, status, or prestige, but about virtue, character, and conduct!"
Lin Ke’s words hit hard, instantly causing an uproar on the scene.
In truth, he had shared this theory in many places but never had done so in a gathering with so many commoners present.
In other words...
This could shake the very foundation of each noble’s survival!
"Silence! You speak nonsense!"
Sure enough, immediately someone spoke up.
