Chapter 189 Ideal Hometown

"Whether you are Ben or Odin, I want to know why? Perhaps, what value do I have for the Yingling Hall?

Zero looked at the old man who had met Remter and is now superior, and asked in a plain tone.

This dynasty Zero waved and said, "Come here, Zero."

Zero did not object. He walked behind the old man and looked down at the prosperous city with him.

"You are very smart, zero. That's good, so that we can talk a lot less. I will tell you the answer, but before that, I want to hear your opinion on this city... Asgard. After putting his hands on his back, he looked at the blue sky and white clouds reflected by the holographic board outside the fence and said.

"This is the best city I have ever seen." Ling Weiyi pondered and said, "Although it has a strict level, I can feel that it is full of vitality when I pass by the city. This is a feeling that other cities can't give me.

Ben nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your feeling is still so sharp. Although you have only been to this city for a long time, you can already feel its most original thing. Yes, that's vitality. Life comes not only from matter, but also from the hearts of people living in this city.

"The strict level is to make people clear where they are, but in any field, I have reserved opportunities and channels for promotion. In this city, everyone's fate is not unchanged. Through hard work and creation, even the lowest slaves have the opportunity to change their fate. Just like my main hall has six seats reserved, as long as you have talent, you can stand in the highest position and see a different scenery. Ben blinked his eyes and said, "The vitality comes from competition and change. When people see the light of hope that changes their fate, you will find that the lowest-level people are also full of enthusiasm and creativity, and they are also the foundation of urban development.

Zero showed a thoughtful expression.

As I said, he just intuitively felt the special atmosphere of the city. Now described in detail, Zero also sees the nature of Asgard, which is different from other wilderness cities.

And what made him feel more deeply was Ben's unusual idea. Taking the senior managers of many cities on the coastline as an example, no one wants to hold the center of power tightly into their own hands. Even if there is a relevant promotion mechanism in the city's management system, it will never put promotion opportunities on the lowest-level slaves like this.

It can be said that Ben's approach made Asgard so close to those democratic and free cities in the old days.

Of course, there is no complete freedom in the world. This is true in the old times, especially in the turbulent times. Asgard's class still exists, because it is an indispensable link in consolidating the urban regime. But Asgard is obviously much freer than any other city in the wilderness. Although it is a city of miracles, Zero feels that it is more like a city of hope!

"You know, zero, I am one of the survivors of the cataclysm, and I witnessed the darkest time with my own eyes. It was my dream when I was young to build a pollution-free, free and democratic city like in the old days. Now, it has achieved a small half, at least in Asgard, I have achieved a small part of the so-called freedom that countless people regard as naive thoughts. Asgard is the ideal hometown for me and everyone living in it!" When Ben said this, his tone turned and became a little heavy and said, "But any ideal can only be realized through suffering, and Asgard is no exception. I used to have the same ideals as me, but now I am the only one left. Occasionally, I feel very sad when I think that those respectable comrades-in-arms can't share their achievements with me. But in the same way, I can constantly tell myself that it is not easy to achieve the ideal, and I still need to continue to work hard to fully realize our original ideas.

patted Zero on the shoulder, and the old man motioned Zero to sit down on the sofa together. He picked up a bottle of whisky on the table and poured it into his arms.

"Zero, a person's power is limited. No matter how hard I try, I can't build that ideal country with one person's strength. This requires many like-minded comrades to join the ranks, such as you. The old man pointed to the zero.

Zero shook his head and said, "As you can see, I'm just a mercenary in the wilderness, and my ability is not necessarily outstanding..."

"No, no, no." Ben interrupted Zero's words and said meaningfully, "Never look down on yourself, not to mention that you have a huge value that you don't even know yourself. You can't imagine that maybe through you, we can come into contact with another civilization. A civilization that once existed and was powerful, but disappeared into the long river of human history.

Somehow, Zero's heart suddenly beat violently. Ben's words reminded him of the six* ship found in the bottom of the big crack and the unknown civilization on the ship.

"To understand yourself and that mysterious civilization, first of all, you have to know our spirit hall and the origin of this city of Asgard." After taking a sip of whisky, the old man sighed with satisfaction. He put down his glass and continued, "You should know the Dark Parliament, right?"

Zero nodded.

"In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Dark Parliament, it was entirely out of the will to rediscover human civilization to build an ideal country that is free, democratic and find a way for all mankind to continue to survive. My Asgard is just a city built with the early ideal of parliament as the blueprint and continuing this ideal. Ben's eyes showed a look of remembrance, and even his voice became empty. He fell into the memory of the old times and said in a dream-like voice: "I was one of the core members of the parliament at that time. At that time, no one was selfish. The days of fighting for the same goal were really fulfilling and felt. Move. However, when the parliament first took shape, differences and contradictions emerged due to different beliefs. At that time, the parliament had begun to become strong and had a lot of human and material resources. In fact, we were only one step away from realizing our ideals, but the corruption of the people's hearts eventually changed the nature of the parliament.

"Some people think that they should rely on the resources they have now to build a feudal kingdom centered on the strong and worship themselves with the weak and the incompetent. This is completely contrary to our original idea, so several other comrades and I strongly oppose it. The majority of people supported that idea, and our opposition was quickly rejected. Indignation, we chose to leave the parliament. However, those who put themselves to the height of God, afraid that we would take away the resources of the parliament, launched a conspiracy attack on us. Perhaps from that moment on, the parliament has begun to show its dark nature. Ben narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The former comrades who proposed to attack us are the dark and horrible Oglock, the speaker of the current parliament!"
