Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 159 Refutation of the Elite Society Theory
After bidding farewell to Lolotta, Hobert took the carriage to the workhouse again and told Bob that the trial time had been brought forward so that he could get ready.

Then he went to the Lever Church and asked Ikanser for support.

Hobert asked the servant of God in the church to send a message. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Captain Ikanser of the "Mechanical Heart" came out from a door inside the church.

His hair seems to have become a little more fluffy again, probably because of the recent use of the Arrods magic mirror.

Hobert sighed in his heart: What a crime!
The two exchanged a few words and sat down in the adjacent seats.

Hobert said: "The court time for Bob's case has suddenly been brought forward."

Captain Ikanser was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "How can the legal system of the Loen Kingdom allow such an operation?"

"That legal system is not designed to protect the rights and interests of workers." Hobert smiled and said, "Now I am weak and need your help."

Ikanser was a little discouraged: "If it's to protect your personal safety, or to help you collect information, that's fine. But if we fight against the powerful people in the entire Loen Kingdom, we may be kicked out of Loen .”

Hobert knew the bottom line of the Church of Steam and Machinery: "Don't describe the contradiction so sharply, we are not against anyone, we are just asking for reasonable rights and interests."

He said: "I didn't ask you to do anything to stimulate the Loen Kingdom, I just hope that your church can respect the facts and publicize this matter.

"No matter what the outcome of the trial is, I guess Arnold and the others will definitely use newspapers and other propaganda tools to try their best to discredit us, and then all my efforts will be in vain.

"And if this case is publicized with respect for the facts, then this type of case will have an example, and workers will know how to defend their rights when they encounter similar incidents."

Ikanser nodded: "That's no problem. I'll discuss this with the archbishop in a while. I don't think he will object."

Hobert looked at the religious emblem made up of gears and a triangular ruler in the church: "Captain Ikanser, what kind of era are we living in? Is it civilized or uncivilized?"

Captain Ikanser was taken aback for a moment, but before he could answer, he saw that Hobert had already got up to leave.

After watching Hobert leave, Ikanser sat in the church for a long time. At present, the Loen Kingdom seems to have reached an unprecedented civilization, but why does "unprecedented civilization" seem so fragile?so barbaric?
……

At around 05:30 in the evening, Hobert attended the banquet as scheduled.

The venue of this banquet was not at Arnold's home, but at "Loen Kingdom Hotel", which was declared to be the most luxurious hotel in the world.

The carriages that came here were basically aristocratic carriages with family crests, and the last ones were exquisite private carriages. The rental carriage that Hobert rode was particularly conspicuous here, and even the doorman wondered if he had read it wrong.

After getting off the carriage, Hobert saw the huge front yard of the hotel, with fountains, statues, tree views, and a huge area of ​​lawn.

Opening the door of the hotel is more like coming to a museum. The furnishings in the hotel lobby are all works of art, and the murals on the walls and roof are exquisite.

Hobert looked at everything in front of him coldly, all of which were the other party's demonstration to him.

The butler who invited Hobert before was already waiting in the lobby: "Mr. Hobert, this way please."

Under the guidance of the butler, Hobert came to a huge restaurant. In the center of the restaurant was a long dining table that could seat dozens of people.

There were already more than 20 people sitting by the window. Some of them were fat, some had calculating eyes, some looked at Hobert indifferently, and some had smiles on their faces.

On the side near the door, only one chair was prepared for Hobert, as if to give Hobert a psychological hint: You are only one person.

Hobert smiled and said, "There is a tradition in the Kingdom of Loen. The more distinguished guests are, the later they arrive. It's too polite of you to arrive first."

After speaking, he hung the windbreaker on the clothes rack with a calm expression, then opened his own stool, and sat across from more than 20 people with a calm expression.

The self-confidence shown by Hobert made the well-prepared Arnold and others feel a little at a loss in their hearts.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Hobert smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the president of the Backlund Chamber of Commerce, Gusta."

"Hello."

"I've heard of such a theory from Emperor Roselle." Gusta said: "Nature follows the law of survival of the fittest, all weak and unsuitable animals will be eliminated, and all powerful animals will get better Multiply, become more and more adapted to nature, and the ethnic group becomes stronger."

He smiled and said: "Mr. Hobert, the human world also follows the same law. Some people should be eliminated if they are weak, and some people should be better developed if they are strong. In the end, only the strong people will be left in the human world." .

"The human civilization at that time will become more prosperous and stronger, because all the people who make up this civilization are powerful people."

"It is undeniable that Emperor Roselle's theory can explain the evolution process of most creatures." Hobert smiled and said, "But are all of you sitting here beasts? Are we in the middle of the jungle?
Hobert spread his hands: "The reason why humans have established civilization, but curly-haired baboons have not, is entirely because of our 'humanistic care'.

"We know how to care for our compatriots, help our compatriots, and then become stronger together. This is called civilization. The strong prey on the weak, and there is no moral bottom line, which can only push human beings to the brink of collapse.

"And a society composed of only a few so-called elites must be falsely prosperous and powerful, because under this theory, without the foil of the so-called weak, the struggle of these so-called 'elites' will continue.

"They all think that they are the strongest, and Mr. Gusta, your theory just now gave them the legal principle to attack each other without a bottom line.

"A society with intense internal conflicts and no morals at all, what do you call a 'civilized society'?"

The smile on Gusta's face disappeared, and he stared at Hobert closely, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

Hobert looked back, his eyes full of jokes, which made Gusta a little bit unbearable, but in order to maintain his dignity, he was not very good at attacking immediately.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man next to Gusta said: "Mr. Hobert, do you know the latest medical discoveries?"

"Not much."

"And have you heard of a recent discovery in anatomy?"

"Which discovery do you mean?"

The thin middle-aged man smiled and said, "Of course it's a new discovery of human head anatomy."

He said: "A university professor dissected the heads of the people from the Southern Continent, the Rorsted Islanders, and the Loenians, and found that the brain volume of the people from the Southern Continent was obviously smaller than that of the Loenians; they found that the skull structure of the Rorsted Islanders was obviously more than that of the Loenians. Come up with a structure, the professor believes, the extra brain structure is the structure that the Rorsted Islanders like to obey.

"Physiologically, people are different. Otherwise, why do thieves and all kinds of criminals always appear in Backlund's East Borough, while the residents of Queens Borough and West Borough never steal?"

Hobert smiled and said: "Sir, your theory is covered with a scientific cloak, but it is completely a set of idealistic arguments.

"In other words, this is a set of theories invented by the Loen people in order to enslave the people of the Southern Continent and the Rorsted Islands with peace of mind."
