Chapter 951 The Sin of the Present World
OK, I didn't expect you to find the crux of the problem.

Seeing "Prince Vernon" stop talking after talking about his own philosophy and stare at him with eyes as sharp as torches, Lyon couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he looked at him with a new respect.

Although the two sides have not yet had a direct showdown, the series of remarks made by "Prince Vernon" just now are no different from a direct showdown. The true identity of the "Prince Vernon" in front of him must be the former Snake Director of the Cleanup Bureau.

According to what he heard from Director Taurus, this Ophiuchus director seemed to be a typical "scumbag". Although he was extremely talented and could be considered the most outstanding Ophiuchus director in thousands of years, he seemed to be slightly lacking in IQ... intelligence... um... brains.

However, there is a saying that goes, "A fool may make many mistakes but he may also make some wise decisions." Although the proposed solution was extremely unreliable, Director Snake still successfully found one of the root causes of the current problems - the Cleanup Bureau.

……

In a sense, Director Snake's judgment was correct. The reason why the world is so rotten is because the Thirteen Kingdoms and the Cleanup Bureau have existed for too long and have basically lost the ability to "regulate" themselves.

If there is no Cleansing Bureau weighing down on us, the human kingdom will function normally for hundreds of years. After the vested interests have divided up everything they can, they will begin to reach out to those below them without any bottom line. And those who have been fleeced by them will continue to find ways to fleece those below them in order to replenish themselves.

When the people at the bottom of the society who have nowhere to be pulled and have no way out, they will resort to the most direct violent means to push the person riding on their head off and kill him. Then the flag on the city wall will change, and either a relatively anthropomorphic person will emerge from the vested interests to a higher position, or a brave man will simply turn into a dragon, and everyone will do it again one, two, three, four.

Theoretically, this should be the case, but this world just happens to have an extra Cleanup Bureau.

Thinking back to the brother and sister who escaped from the floating crystal mine in the Kingdom of Korok, and the royal ship in the dead world whose lower cabin was filled with torture instruments and cages, Leon couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

In order to maintain the effectiveness of the Watch Palace and ensure that the most important front against the Outer Gods would not have any problems, the Thirteen Royal Families were semi-forcibly saved by the Cleansing Bureau, and the most acute part of the conflict had always been suppressed and had never been completely vented.

So even though the Cleanup Bureau did not take direct action, the Cleanup Bureau was actually responsible for the Korok Kingdom's bloody and unscrupulous exploitation of the Floating Crystal Mining Area, the Thousand Sails Sea Kingdom's looting that lasted for at least a thousand years, and the other kingdoms' inhumane and foolish operations.

Under the protection of the Cleanup Bureau, the thirteen kingdoms survived for who knows how long, until two of them disappeared in recent years.

One was the Kingdom of East Karaven, which was harmed by the Serpent Director and all its citizens were taken away in one wave, making it impossible to rebuild. The other was the Kingdom of Korok, which was completely merged into the Kingdom of Robin with the help of its own... because of its own pursuit of "elitism".

As for the other kingdoms that were forcibly saved by the Cleanup Bureau, most of them were indeed rotten and smelly as Director Snake said. If we had to say which one was less smelly, it would be the Northern Kingdom, the Witch Kingdom, and the Robin Kingdom where he was.

……

Ignoring "Prince Vernon" opposite him, after glancing at the relief below the flying buttress showing the Cleanup Bureau helping the Calvin brothers to establish a country, Lyon's thoughts suddenly went astray uncontrollably, and he began to think about the three countries that were also established with the help of the Cleanup Bureau but were relatively harmonious.

The reason why the Northern Kingdom is relatively anthropomorphic is that they are a "tribal" system. The king is not so much a king as the leader of the largest tribe. The power itself is not concentrated and the ability to exploit is relatively limited.

In addition, the North is vast and sparsely populated, and people live very scattered. From time to time, there are horrific disasters that affect the entire territory. For several months a year, people are blocked from going out due to blizzards. Therefore, going out to exploit others is actually a dangerous job. If you are not careful, you can easily die on the way.

In short, it's not that they want to be human, but they really lack the ability not to be human. The situation in the Kingdom of Witches is a bit special. The Great Witch King's lineage is basically a single lineage, and each generation is close to the level of true gods. They can peek into the past and future at will, and have little interest in power and wealth in the kingdom.

When I went there to help, I made a special observation. The Great Witch King's lineage actually lives a very simple life. The so-called palace is just a fairly elegant small courtyard, and they rarely interfere in any political affairs.

As the actual power institutions of the Kingdom of Miko, the seventeen major associations and numerous small and medium-sized associations are groups that gathered together to practice the secret techniques of the Daichi. They are far more interested in materials and secret techniques than in wealth and power.

Therefore, the "ecology" of the Kingdom of Miko is very strange. If you want to control power, you have to join the 17 major societies, but you can't learn the secret arts. If you can learn it, it is easy to indulge in it and lose your excessive desire for wealth and power.

Even if there really is a chosen bastard who has a great talent in mysticism and is not a human being, and can resist the temptation of the mysticism itself, and after successfully ascending to the throne he is bent on abusing his power, he will most likely be killed by the Great Witch King's lineage.

Even if he could hide it from the Great Wizard King who could see the future, his children and descendants would not necessarily inherit his talents, let alone his strong desire for power. Wealth and status would basically not be passed down from generation to generation, so the upward channel would always be open.

Therefore, apart from being loosely organized, mysterious, and extremely inefficient, the internal situation of the Kingdom of the Witch is surprisingly healthy, which is unique among the Thirteen Kingdoms. The only major problem that may arise there is the lack of rescue after a large-scale disaster.

However, what the witch country lacks the least is various prophets. There is even a great wizard king who can directly see the future. Often, before a disaster occurs, people have already moved away in advance. They use fortune-telling to save lives and rely on computing power to make up for the lack of mobility.

So overall, apart from the fact that there is no way to ascend if you don't have the talent for mystical arts, the Kingdom of the Witch can even be said to be a country with peace and prosperity, and it is a rare paradise among the major kingdoms in the world.

As for the last and more humane Robin Kingdom...it's probably because they are too weak.

After thinking about his brother's "History of the Kingdom" textbook, Leon couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The history of the Robin Kingdom is basically a series of beatings. It was bullied by the poor and hungry Northern Kingdom, the roaming Sea Kingdom, and the Thunderstorm Kingdom with which it has always had territorial disputes. If it didn't exist, it would be bullied by the Korok Kingdom, which has its eyes on volcanoes, in the future.

The robin royal family, with their proud blood flowing in their veins, were naturally arrogant, so how could they possibly tolerate such cowardice? Therefore, almost every generation had the intention of working hard to govern the country and then bully back.

Although the ancestors of the royal family of the robin generally had incompetent abilities and a lot of faults of their own, they often failed to correct them.

But they held on to their pride, and although they were always struggling, they did a lot of real work. At least they stirred up the stagnant country, and barely gave the suffering lower-class people a sigh of relief...

……

Haha, you are still a little immature after all!

Looking at the expression on the opposite side changing again and again, with surprise, thought, disgust, helplessness... and other emotions appearing on Leon's face in just a few seconds, the corners of "Prince Vernon"'s mouth couldn't help but slightly curl up, and he quietly took back the half of the broken rein in his hand.
