Chapter 339: Art students cannot fail the exam

Sofia does prefer that the Iris Club did it, at least for the assassination of Joseph.

However, she did not answer directly, but suddenly asked: "Ethan, do you still remember the failed art student we talked about?"

"Remember! He wanted to become a god! As a result, he killed hundreds of thousands of people! So, what do you want to say?"

Sophia smiled: "In the information about the Yutai family I gave you last time, there was a story about the failed art student.

You only know that he wanted to become a god and ended up killing hundreds of thousands of people, but you don’t know why he wanted to become a god. "

Ethan did not read the information carefully, and knew that Sophia had something to say, so he followed the other party's intention and asked: "Why?"

Sophia cleared her throat and said slowly: "When the Aslan Empire was first established, everything was in ruins due to the civil war in the previous few years.

One of the most scarce goods is food.

The Holy Light Religion is the largest food supplier in the empire, controlling more than 60% of the country's food.

When the whole country is short of food, the Holy Light Religion has hoarded so much food that it even becomes moldy.

However, instead of providing support, they increased their efforts to hoard food and continuously raised food prices in order to make profits.

And it is the Youtai family that leads all this.

The entire food policy of the Holy Light Religion was proposed and implemented by them.

At that time, they were favored by the Holy Light Religion because of their successful commercial war against the Republic of Hlingard.

The Holy Light Religion has handed over almost all commercial content to them, and this is still the case even today.

One of the victims of their food policy was the failed art student.

Although his territory is in a grain-producing area, it was previously a battlefield and everything was destroyed.

Therefore, all food must be supplied from outside.

At that time, the grain in Linbaicheng was sold at sky-high prices by the Youtai family. A pound of unhulled wheat could actually be sold for 50 silver.

You know, a pound of fine noodles here only costs a few coppers.

The fine noodles we sell to Beidi only fluctuate around 20 coppers, which is already a huge profit.

But they actually sold it for 50 silver, and at the price of silver 500 years ago.

From this, you can know how profitable it was at that time.

At that time, it could be said that the city of Linbai was full of people dying of hunger.

Of course, the people of Linbaicheng could not accept this status quo, and under the leadership of the art student, they launched a resistance.

They directly killed the members of the Youtai family in Linbai City, and then grabbed food.

The result was that the Holy Light Religion began to purge.

And they accepted the advice of the Yutai family, not to cause trouble to the civilians, but to assassinate those who led the resistance.

After several waves of assassinations, Lin Baicheng became honest.

But the art student suffered miserably from them.

He vowed to make his subjects have milk and bread on every table, and to make the Yutai family pay the price, so he was eager to become a god.

In the end, too much haste led to tragedy.

The Youtai family has achieved results because of this assassination. Over the past few hundred years, anyone who dares to stop them has done so.

They are all trying to reason with you on the surface, but behind the scenes they are doing assassination work.

For hundreds of years, without exception, they have come this way.

In the information, there is a history of assassinations spanning hundreds of years. You can take a look.

Almost every assassination is related to the Yutai family, and they are all similar to today's situation.

It doesn't seem like they did it, but it turns out it was them every time. "

After hearing this, Ethan smiled: "Don't you just want to say that this assassination was also done by the Youtai family? Just say no, why bother?"

"I don't want to cause trouble!" Sophia smiled bitterly: "But I know your temper. If I don't let you realize the bad temper of the Yutai family, you won't believe it."

"Okay! You've convinced me." Ethan spread his hands and said, "So, are you going to assassinate me now?"

"No!" Sophia waved her hand and said, "Don't let the situation escalate for the time being.

Otherwise, it is really possible that we and Iris will be at odds with each other, and Lyon will reap the benefits.

The most important thing to do now is to notify all allies to strengthen their protection, and to negotiate with the Iris Society to stabilize the situation first. "

When Ethan heard this, he was a little speechless.

I thought that by saying so much, Sophia was telling me to fight back, but I didn't expect that now she was trying to persuade me not to act rashly.

"Since the Iris Club has taken action and we have no indication, how can we negotiate?

Give me a goal, and I’ll pay this debt back first. "

"No!" Sofia quickly stopped: "Once we fight back, things will become uncontrollable.

Although our restraint seems to be at a disadvantage, there is nothing we can do about it.

Ever since the Holy Light Church territory was attacked, strange things have continued.

It feels like there is always a behind-the-scenes hand that is muddying the waters in Maruo City.

And his target, if I guessed correctly, should still be the Duke's Palace.

And if we go to war with the Iris Society, or if we go to war with the Duke of Lyon, we will play into that person's plan.

Therefore, we must calm down and never let him lead us by the nose again. "

Sofia's analysis completely calmed down Ethan.

Indeed, if they fight back, they may not be able to sit down and talk again, and then they will start to assassinate each other.

Then they will die, and they will continue to lose allies.

It might even be someone close to you.

It's hard to say who will be unable to withstand the pressure and collapse first.

Thinking of this, Ethan smiled slightly and said, "I think the most important thing to do now is to issue a notice to each college, asking them to try their best to recruit all art students, but never let anyone fail the exam."

Seeing that Ethan was in the mood to tease, Sophia knew that Ethan agreed with her opinion.

Smiling knowingly, she said, "I will send people to do these things, so you don't have to worry.

Also, I have considered it.

You are right, I am about to have a baby, and there are indeed many things that I can't take care of.

Recently, there have been big problems with the family's intelligence, and it's all my fault.

So, I hope you can take over."

Hearing this, Ethan was stunned.

However, he reacted immediately and refused decisively.

Because Ethan knew very well that Sophia was not sincere.

A strong woman like her would never give up such an important power.

If she really took over, she would probably have no good days in the future.

Ethan also figured it out that he was just greedy for Sophia's body, which was the original and most primitive purpose.

At that time, his mind was full of scenes of mating with her, and he couldn't even think.

It is already precious that she can help so much now.

She is already his woman, why should he make her sad for such a trivial matter.

It is not worth it!

Besides, he now has an alternative plan, and the alternative plan is probably more powerful than the family's intelligence department and less troublesome.

Anyway, there is a way, and there is no need to make Sophia sad.

Seeing Ethan's decisive refusal, Sophia almost couldn't help but curl up her lips.

But she asked in a fake way: "Really don't want it?"

"Yes! You know, I'm lazy!

So, I definitely don't want it! For the family, you have to work harder!"

"Okay then!" Sophia tried to make herself look reluctant and said so.
