"No, we can't open the seal!" Before Su Rui finished speaking, a few elders stood up to object.
"Why?!" Su Rui didn't understand. Opening the seal and obtaining the ancient weapons could defeat the exiles. What's wrong with that?
"Did you guys forget about our ancestors' teachings?" One of the elders questioned. The ancestral teachings of this Namekian tribe was to seal their technology and start from scratch.
"But look at the situation now. Are we going to wait for them to kill us and then get enslaved by them?" Su Rui questioned.
"Hmph! If we open the seal, then what's the difference between us and those exiles? Even if we defeat them, we'll start using technology as weapons. Then wouldn't they still win this ten thousand year agreement? "Another elder questioned.
When the Namekians split up, the main conflict was their attitude towards technology. Those who insisted on using technology were exiled and the majority of the remaining Namekians didn't want to use technology anymore. Then the two sides set up a ten thousand year agreement, wanting to use war to determine whose choice was right.
Just like what the elder said, if Su Zhe and the others opened the seal and obtained the technological weapons, then even if they won the war, wouldn't they still have to use technology in the end? Then the final winners would still be the exiled Namekians.
"Hmph! Look at the situation now and you're still fussing over this? Since the other side will still win even if we don't use technology, then why don't we use it? At least we won't have to be slaves after using it! " Su Rui reacted quickly. There was no meaning in this ten thousand year agreement anymore. The answer was definitely to use technology to obtain a better life. But the difference was to be the victor or to continue living as someone else's slave.
"No! Either way, we won't agree! "The elders were very stubborn. No matter how Su Rui tried to persuade them, they weren't moved.
"Brother, what do you think?" In the end, Su Rui looked at Su Zhe …
"About this …" Su Zhe was also in a difficult position. Although he was a God King, his authority was still restricted by the Elder Council. Moreover, the key to the Sealed Technology Treasury was not in his hands. There were a total of two keys and they were kept by him and the Elder Council respectively. Only one key was not enough to open the treasury.
"Your Majesty, no matter what choice you make in the end, unless you execute our entire family and confiscate our properties, we will not hand over the key!" These elders were also resolute and refused to give in.
"You … Are you stupid?" Su Rui was about to cry. He felt that this choice was very simple. There was no more suspense in the battle of ten thousand years. Of course, he had to make a choice that was beneficial to him. Why were those elders so stubborn?
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to discuss, then we will take our leave!" The elders bowed to Su Zhe and then left.
"Ge … they … I …" Su Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Sigh …" Su Zhe also sighed. It was impossible to kill all these elders, and then confiscate their homes, unless he wanted to force all the people under him to rebel.
"Forget it. No matter what, let's talk to Jiang Fei first and see what they have to say." Su Rui saw that his brother was also in a difficult position and also sighed.
"That's the only way." Su Zhe nodded and then followed Su Rui back to the side hall where Jiang Fei and the others were.
"How was it?" Jiang Fei asked after seeing them return.
"Sigh! Those elders are simply idiots! " Su Rui directly exposed his vulgarities. From his standpoint, he could not understand the choices these elders made.
"I see …" Jiang Fei nodded after listening to Su Rui's description, then looked at Su Zhe and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"Me?! Of course I want to open the treasury! "Su Zhe said.
"That's easy then!" Jiang Fei nodded and then said to Su Zhe and Su Rui, "As long as you want to open the treasury, then I have other ways!"
"Oh?" Su Zhe and Su Rui both looked at Jiang Fei.
Actually, Jiang Fei could understand these elders' choices. After all, the task of these people was to guard the treasury key and ensure that the seal would not be opened. Then, through the Promise of Ten Thousand Years, they would prove that their original choice was correct.
These elders usually did not participate in government affairs. They did not need to care about how the common people lived and they did not have any power to covet. Therefore, the faith in their hearts was the most pure.
There was actually no reason to talk about faith. The elders wholeheartedly held onto this faith. Even if they died or became slaves, they did not care. In Jiang Fei's hometown, there were many people with lofty ideals who died for their faith.
However, although Jiang Fei could understand the beliefs of these elders, it conflicted with his own interests. So, he could only apologize to the elders.
Seeing Su Zhe and Su Rui looking at him, Jiang Fei smiled and then whispered a few words to them.
"Will this work?" Su Zhe and Su Rui looked at each other.
"We'll see if it works!" Jiang Fei smiled.
"Fine! Then we'll start tomorrow! "Su Zhe nodded and Su Rui unconditionally cooperated.
After Su Zhe and Su Rui left, Jiang Fei and the two girls also went to rest. Because from tomorrow onwards, Jiang Fei had work to do.
"Sigh! Seriously, I don't have a good life! "Jiang Fei sighed and then closed his eyes.
…
On the second day, the entire capital city was calm and peaceful, no different from usual. However, at night, a few elders' houses were broken into. But what was surprising was that the thieves did not steal anything nor did they touch any precious items. They seemed to be looking for something.
On the third day, the elders gathered again.
"How is it? Which house was broken into? "An elder asked.
"My house was broken into. My study was rummaged through."
"My house too!"
"My house too. Nothing was lost but a lot of things were touched!"
"Looks like it was Su Rui who sent people to do it!"
"Hmph! That brat relied on the Divine King's protection to be so lawless! "
…
The elders discussed. They didn't even need to think about it and directly pinned the hat of the main culprit on Su Rui. Then did these people wrongly accuse Su Rui? Indeed, they didn't. Su Rui really did send those thieves over.
"Since that brat sent thieves to infiltrate our house, then the key …" A young elder asked worriedly.
"Don't worry! The key was hidden so well. Plus, everyone has to bring a token to open the door. No matter how powerful those thieves are, they can't steal it! "An older elder laughed.
