Therefore, the judgment against the Tielin Clan has always been the same: to atone for their crimes through meritorious service.
In this way, the Left Prime Minister made him make the decision in public, which was quite obvious. He wanted the Tielin Clan to owe him a huge favor, a favor that would save the entire clan.
With this favor, the Tielin Clan would naturally stand behind Logo.
The Tielin Clan, second only to the Abyss Hunter Clan among the Seven Great Clans, possesses terrifying power and influence.
If their leaders hadn't willingly allowed themselves to be arrested, Royal Court would have paid an extremely heavy price.
The Tielin Clan itself did not suffer significant power loss.
If Logo spares the lives of these Tielin Clan and gives them a chance to atone for their sins, he will gain a powerful new force of support.
Among the Seven Great Clans, the Baifeng Clan, as Logo's ancestral home, was originally his backer. Moreover, Grand Duke Baifeng had also invested in the Ruibete Group, making them even more interdependent.
The White Wolf Clan goes without saying; given Qiya's attitude towards Logo, the entire clan will likely become her dowry in the future.
If the Tielin Clan is included, then three of the Seven Great Clans support Logo.
Push it further!
Left Chancellor Alex is a man of great stature; how could he not understand the significance of the three major clans standing behind Logo?
But he did it anyway!
Logo pondered this.
I believe the Grand Elder's influence is only one aspect.
Left Chancellor Alex is also Demigod. He rose from a Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants to become the Left Chancellor of the Royal Court, second only to the emperor. Naturally, he has his own pride and principles.
Reforming the social structure of the Royal Court to give the Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants a higher status and a fairer environment for growth is what the Left Prime Minister has been striving for.
However, there is a crucial point in this matter that cannot be bypassed by the Old Blood Faction.
If this is forced, a split within the Royal Court is foreseeable, which would bring pain to loved ones and joy to enemies.
Although the Left Prime Minister was the leader of the New Blood Faction, his love and loyalty to the Gendaya Tribe and the Royal Court were no less than those of the Grand Elder.
Without this support, the Old Blood Faction and the Grand Elder could not have allowed him to grow to his current level, and the [Eye of Gendaya], as a symbol of the Royal Court, could not have been activated by the Left Prime Minister. That is a racial treasure, and disloyal people could never gain the recognition of this treasure.
If we don't want the Royal Court to split, we must proceed slowly and cautiously.
Gradually growing stronger, the power of the New Blood Faction.
However, the precarious Royal Court and the increasingly turbulent international situation did not allow the Left Chancellor to implement slow reforms.
Severe measures are necessary in times of chaos.
Radical actions inevitably require the support of the Old Blood Faction, since the dominant force in the Royal Court is still the pure-blooded Gendaya People.
In this way, the choice of the Left Chancellor is narrowed down to a range that can be predicted.
That is, to elect a figure who supports the New Blood Faction but also has great influence within the Old Blood Faction to become the new king of the Gendaya Tribe.
Logo, clearly, meets this requirement.
He is a pure-blooded Gendaya People, Outposted Faction, and the founder of the Ruibete Group. His teacher is the alchemist Maidisenna, and he has the support of the Grand Elder. The Baifeng Clan and the White Wolf Clan stand behind Logo for various reasons.
More importantly, the Left Prime Minister learned through intelligence channels that all the policies implemented by Logo in the Sunset Jungle were aimed at raising the status of the Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants. Within the Alchemy Academy, the capable rise and the mediocre fall, regardless of whether one is pure-blooded or mixed-blood; only ability matters.
Although, in public, Logo always identifies himself as a member of the Old Blood Faction.
But the Left Prime Minister understood that judging a person is more about what they do than what they say.
Logo's actions undoubtedly met the requirements of his ideal new king.
Although he is a bit younger and weaker.
But none of these are problems.
Even the Left Prime Minister might see this as an advantage.
A true champion should be in a state of absolute safety, overseeing the overall situation. Strength is secondary; having brains is all that matters.
This Sage had long been critical of the Royal Court.
Having power makes one want to show their face, which makes them vulnerable to assassination by enemies. The former King of Gendaya was incredibly powerful, having slain more Demigod than one could count on one hand, yet he still perished in the dark Void. His leaderless Royal Court was caught off guard and attacked by the Dawn Empire, resulting in heavy losses.
If the king hadn't met with misfortune, and with a leading Royal Court, the war a century ago would have been much easier.
Having figured these things out, Logo felt more confident.
I dare not refuse the gift from an elder; since the Left Prime Minister has done me such a great favor, I shall accept it.
Thinking this through, Logo pondered for a moment, then, meeting the gazes of the Tielin Clan, addressed the Left Prime Minister, "Your Excellency, in my opinion, the Royal Court is currently in dire need of capable individuals. The Grand Duke Tielin has betrayed his race, but these high-ranking members of the Tielin Clan are innocent. They willingly stayed, surrendered without resistance, and did not flee, nor harm a single citizen of the Royal Court. If we were to execute them all because of the Grand Duke Tielin's single transgression, it would be an excessive implication!"
A soothing yet firm voice drifted through the side hall, like the sound of a clear spring. Wherever it passed, pairs of lifeless gray eyes regained a unique light. Who would choose to die if they could live?
Moreover, these members of the Tielin Clan were plotting to kill the Grand Duke Tielin to wash away their shame; once they died, they would have nothing left.
However, upon hearing Logo's pleas for mercy, the Left Chancellor flew into a rage.
His Furious Roar, once again, pierced through the walls and doors, echoing through the corridor outside.
"You bastard, how dare you plead for them?"
"Those who betray the Royal Court should be punished along with their relatives; otherwise, how can we deter other members of our clan?"
"Royal Court laws are these, mine or yours? How dare you utter such arrogant words!"
His voice was like thunder, full of energy, and imposing.
Facing the Left Prime Minister directly, Logo even felt for a moment that his previous guesses were all wrong, just his own wild imagination, and that the Left Prime Minister actually wanted to kill these people.
But when he looked directly into the eyes of the Left Prime Minister and caught a glimpse of a hidden smile, the insecurity that had just flashed through his mind vanished in an instant.
They're trying to make the act more real!
Furthermore, he also told the outsiders that it was Logo who pleaded for the Tielin Clan, so that they had no choice but to repay the favor and were firmly bound to Logo's ship.
"Tsk, as expected of the Left Prime Minister, these methods..." Logo muttered to himself, but on the surface he argued with the Left Prime Minister with righteous indignation.
The two sides went back and forth for a full half hour.
Finally, the Left Chancellor was "persuaded" by Logo and agreed to let the Tielin Clan atone for their crimes by performing meritorious service.
The revitalized Tielin Clan leaders left the side hall. Before leaving, all of them, without exception, knelt on one knee before Logo, expressing their gratitude with this simple yet profound gesture.
Logo understood that as long as nothing went wrong, the Tielin Clan was already tied to his cause.
The room fell silent again; the earlier noise and commotion seemed to have been nothing more than an illusion.
The Left Prime Minister sat down leisurely, took out a pot of strong liquor, and drank it quietly. His elegant movements and the strong liquor, which was over 75 degrees, created a wonderful contrast.
Logo remained silent and waited patiently.
"Luolike is a good choice."
About half a minute later, the Left Prime Minister suddenly spoke, saying something that seemed to come out of nowhere.
Logo reacted quickly, and after a moment's thought, nodded. "That's good. He can lead the Young and Middle-Aged Faction of the Tielin Clan. Including this time, Luolike owes me two favors, and his personality is suitable."
As for the first favor, it was when Logo helped Luolike beat up the Sword of the Kingdom Ademu, during the Martial Arts Tournament.
"Very good!" The Left Prime Minister revealed a satisfied smile.
Although it was just a simple test, he seemed to see that in the near future, the throne belonging to the Gendaya People would once again rise with the rising sun.
After completing the initial investigation, the Left Prime Minister no longer concealed anything.
"What problems do you see with the current political system in the Royal Court?"
Political system?
Logo paused for a moment, then rested his hand on his chin in deep thought.
His mind worked at an astonishing speed; in an instant, a massive amount of information collided in his mind, comparable to a supercomputer's brain rapidly processing and eliminating the unnecessary, ultimately leaving behind the answer Logo arrived at.
"Power is fragmented, the central government's authority is not centralized enough, and its control over local areas is declining... In short, centralization is needed!"
Looking directly into the deep pupils of Prime Alex, Logo's voice was steady and powerful.
Upon hearing the answer, the Left Prime Minister's expression softened further, and he gently asked, "Then, how do you think this problem should be solved?"
"Before solving the problem, we must first understand its root cause." Logo did not rush to reply to the Left Prime Minister.
Instead, he spoke slowly, as if he were an analyst analyzing a problem.
Time flowed quietly by, accompanied by the boy's clear voice. In a side hall of the Buratino Royal Palace, the past and future of an entire race were analyzed, and the Fate of the Gendaya People was changing imperceptibly.
"Clan-based decentralization of power led to insufficient enforcement capacity of the central government..."
"The Old Blood Faction's excessive desire for control has hindered the Royal Court's development..."
"If we want to centralize power to the greatest extent possible and unleash the productivity of the entire race, there is only one way, and the fastest way!"
"Spare no effort in developing the strength of New Blood Faction!"
"As it turns out, the only weakness of the Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants is their bloodline; their potential for intelligence is in no way inferior to that of pure -Blood Clan."
"To consolidate power, absolute prestige is essential. And prestige comes from the unwavering support of the clan. Nothing can gain support more quickly than elevating the status of the New Blood Faction."
At this point, Logo stopped speaking at the Left Prime Minister's signal.
"Have you considered the opposition from the Old Blood Faction?"
The Left Prime Minister's tone was serious and imposing.
Logo was completely unaffected.
"Your Excellency, may I ask what the source of the Old Blood Faction's power is?"
"The Sanctuary!" Left Prime Minister Alex answered without hesitation.
The reason why pure-blooded Gendaya People have always held a dominant position in the Royal Court is ultimately because the proportion of pure-blooded Gendaya People break through to the Sanctuary is high enough, giving them an absolute advantage in high-level Transcendent power. This allows them to suppress hundreds of millions of Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants with an extremely small number.
"Therefore, the key issue lies in bridging the gap in high-level power between the New Blood Faction and the Old Blood Faction!"
The Left Prime Minister frowned. "But this is just a hypothetical scenario, almost impossible to achieve, at least not within the next hundred years, and a hundred years from now..."
He shook his head. "Whether the Elven Plane even exists is still uncertain!"
The next sentence made Logo narrow his eyes. He was no longer a nobody. Having reached this position, he had a sufficient understanding of the upper class of the Elven Plane by combining information from various sources, and had also learned many secrets.
But now was not the time to discuss the situation in the plane, Logo ignored the topic.
A smile played on his lips as Logo looked directly at Prime Minister Alex. "Your Excellency, forgive my arrogance, but isn't the joy of life in challenging the impossible?"
The Left Prime Minister gave him a deep look. "Having ambition is a good thing, but unrealistic ambition can easily turn into arrogance, blinding you and making you foolish."
Logo didn't speak, but instead took out a semi-transparent crystal. This thing was an information storage device produced by the Guta Federation, with an incredibly large storage capacity.
"Please take a look, Your Excellency!"
With a gentle toss, the crystal landed in the Left Prime Minister's hand.
After placing it between his eyebrows, the Left Prime Minister closed his eyes.
However, soon, the Left Prime Minister's brow twitched, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
After settling for it, a complex look enveloped Logo's eyes. "What about the details?"
Logo shrugged, a sly glint in his eyes, "Still haven't figured it out!"
The Left Prime Minister scoffed, not believing a word he said.
This kid is on guard against him.
That makes sense, though. The contents of this storage crystal are top secret, and he wouldn't show them to just anyone.
Logo showing me the outline is already quite generous of him.
"If we follow your plan, the Royal Court can indeed complete its reforms and rise rapidly in a short time. However, there are too many uncertainties involved. If things go wrong, the entire race could disappear from the history of the Elven Plane!"
The head steward was very curious about what was inside the crystal that could make the usually decisive and efficient Prime Minister hesitate.
"Do we have any way out?" Logo said coldly.
"Yes, there's no way out!" the Left Prime Minister muttered to himself. He was in a higher position, knew more, and understood better just how critical the situation was for the Gendaya Royal Court.
In times of peace, one could perhaps proceed cautiously, but unfortunately, the currents of this era are exceptionally turbulent and turbulent, and everyone is taking risks, including those empires...
"Then let's start with the most basic industrial layout!"
The Left Prime Minister's eyes turned cold; he had prepared himself mentally in a very short time.
"People will die!" Logo said softly.
Alex knew this wasn't a display of pity from the boy; it meant he should prepare to clean up the mess.
"No one can stop the rise of the Royal Court, not even myself!!"
