Chapter 49: Lurking

Hearing Vivienne’s words, Lugh sighed in his heart.
How desperate was the Simon Empire for her to say such a thing?
The Simon Empire had already rotted away from its roots.
There was no way to save this country.
The Wilson family had been loyal to the Simon Empire for hundreds of years. What had they ended up with?
The royal family had always wanted to weaken or even eliminate the Wilson family.
The only genius in the Simon Empire, Camia, was forced to marry a prince who had done all sorts of bad things.
This was also the royal family’s way of restricting the Wilson family.
If Earl Wilson had not been seriously injured, the Simon Empire would have been in chaos.
The king of the Simon Empire was incompetent, while the demon queen had left the Simon Empire with no medicine to cure it. In the entire empire, apart from a few n.o.bles, all of them lived luxuriously, exploiting and abusing the commoners. The most typical example was the group of people led by Berg.
The commoners could not even maintain their basic survival, and their lives could not be guaranteed.
Such an empire was not something that could be changed by killing a queen.
There was only one way to change the situation, and that was to cut off the Simon Empire from its roots, build a new country from the ruins, and reform everything from the system to the economy.
Of course, Lugh would not say this because there was no need.
When there was no power to change everything, it was useless to say anything.
What Lugh was most concerned about now was the civilization crystal.
He had one right now.
He had found it in Charles’ vault. At that time, he had planned to check the relevant information in the library, but unfortunately, he had not found any records of the civilization crystal.
He had not expected Vivienne and the others to know about this, but halfway through her conversation, she had changed to the heavy topic of the Simon Empire.
Under such an atmosphere, it was not appropriate for him to continue asking.
“It’s getting late. Why don’t you rest now?”
Rexton could not hold on any longer. It was not really late. It was just that Vivienne’s words were so shocking.
“Alright.” Lugh nodded.
Rexton left first.
After Vivienne had finished speaking, she fell completely silent. Lorca did not immediately return to his carriage. After a long silence, he said softly, “I don’t know who can save the Simon Empire. I also don’t know how to change these things. I just want to become stronger.
“Only by becoming stronger will there be a chance. Perhaps when the person who can save the people appears, I can also help do something.”
This was a completely different concept from Vivienne’s.
One was that she couldn’t see any hope and wanted to escape. The other was that although he couldn’t see any hope, he still hadn’t given up and was waiting for the person who could bring him hope.
No one wrong. It was just that they stood at different angles.
“Young Master Night, what do you think?” Vivienne asked softly.
Lugh’s voice was calm. He said casually, “I can stand and watch, I can sit and watch, I can laugh and watch, I can curse and watch. In short, I can watch however I want. After all, what does the Simon Empire have to do with me? I don’t understand the affairs of the country, but I’ve heard this saying before, “When you are weak, the world laughs at you, Once you become fierce, you will realize that the world treats you with incomparable gentleness.”
“Based on my observations of the Simon Empire over the past few days, the citizens of the Simon Empire are too good-tempered. No matter how others oppress them, they never respond and never think of resisting.”
Lugh’s att.i.tude was already very clear.
Lorca and Vivienne stopped, speechless. They had been taught since a young age that the king was the only master of the Simon Empire, and the royal family was their master. They wanted to unconditionally support the royal family and the king.
They wanted to change the Simon Empire, but they had never thought of overthrowing the royal family of the Simon Empire.
As he walked slowly, Lugh suddenly frowned.
He stopped and looked at the servants in the carriage.
He found violent fluctuations of runes among the servants. Waves of information were transmitted through the runes. Lugh’s figure flashed, and then he grabbed a servant from the crowd.
“This person is transmitting information!”
Lugh looked at her with a cold gaze. “Who are you sending a message to?”
“Miss. . . miss
“I, I didn’t!”
After this female slave had been caught by Lugh, she looked fl.u.s.tered as she watched Vivienne kowtow and explain.
Since she was Vivienne’s maid, Lugh didn’t speak anymore. Instead, he quietly looked at Vivienne with a cold expression.
She frowned and looked at him. “Is it useful to deny it? Do you think Young Master Night or I believe you? Or does he have no reason to frame a slave like you?
“Tell me, who are you sending the message to?”
Her tone became colder.
“I, I really didn’t.”
She tried her best to deny it.
Lugh said casually, “I’ll do it.”
The powerful spiritual power pierced into the servant’s mind like a needle, causing her to let out a scream.
Lugh used his spiritual power to hypnotize her and asked casually, “What’s your name?”
“I don’t have a name. My code name is ten!” She said subconsciously.
Vivienne’s face suddenly changed and her eyes were filled with coldness.
The meaning of these words was very obvious. The maid actually did not have a name but only a code name. This proved that this maid had been trained by others to lurk by her side.
