"Ten million gold coins..." Danica folded the middle and index fingers of her right hand, gently tapped the armrest of the sofa, and said, "This is a big number!"

Elizabeth took a sip of amber rice wine and said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't cheat you. If you take 10 million from you, you won't feel that you are at a loss. Besides, are you so easy to suffer?"

Danica smiled relievedly and said, "Okay, I can't say anything else if you say that. How to let Ai Xue contact your people. By the way, have you made any arrangements recently?"

"What's wrong?"

"If you don't have any arrangements, just stay here for a while. It can be regarded as consolidating the influence of the Holy Spirit in the Gemini Kingdom and resting. I believe that you will have many troublesome trivial matters to deal with in Holy Light City. Come here to relax. The Gemini City has both the prosperity and bustle of the outer city and the quietness of the inner city. It is a good place to live."

Elizabeth looked at Danica and said suspiciously: "Is that so kind?"

"Why can't it?" Danica said with a slight smile on her face, "I really treat you as a friend."

Although she was still confused, Elizabeth finally agreed. She still had some things to talk to Danica, but that needed a suitable time.

Danica asked Elizabeth to arrange a room for Elizabeth in the palace, and she lived in the Twin Cities. As a city dominated by humans, even if the general belief is not very pious, there are several churches here. If Elizabeth has time, she will go to these churches to conduct some missionary work. However, she is not very enthusiastic about missionary work. She spends about half of her time traveling in the Twin Cities, buying some special gadgets, and experiencing the customs and customs of this prosperous commercial city.

I lived in Twin Cities for more than ten days. On that day, Elizabeth had just finished breakfast and met Danica in the living room.

This is not easy. Although Elizabeth has lived here for a while, she cannot meet Danica frequently. She rarely eats in the restaurant. When it comes to mealtime, Aishi often brings the meal into the study. Danica often stays in the study all day long to study magic theory, sometimes in the study on the second floor, sometimes in the study on the third floor, sometimes in the study on the fourth floor, or prepares special potions in the potion laboratory. In short, although the queen Danica ignores politics, she is very busy every day. But today is a bit special. Danica does not study magic in the study or laboratory, but comes to the living room.

"What's wrong? I'm so idle today?" After Elizabeth walked out of the dining room, she happened to see Danica on the sofa in the living room, half lying, looking lazy and lazy, her eyes half open and half closed, as if she was resting.

Hearing Elizabeth's voice, Danica raised her eyelids and said, "I have been conducting a complex magic experiment these days. It finally succeeded last night, so I plan to give myself a few days off to restore my energy."

"Is this how you can restore your spirit?" said Elizabeth. "Just lying half dead?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with this?" Danica ignored the faint sarcasm in Elizabeth's tone and said, "I think it's quite comfortable to lie down."

"Don't look so lifeless. It just so happens that I'm going to pick up a few paintings today. You can go with me!" Elizabeth sent an invitation.

"Take the painting? What kind of painting?" Danica sat up, she was a little curious.

Elizabeth said: "There are an art exhibitions in the east of the outer city these days. I went to see them. There were some very good paintings, so I bought a few. Today, the exhibition ended and I will get these paintings."

"There are painting exhibitions in the Twin Cities?"

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Of course, you queen is too ignorant of your own kingdom, right? Okay, don't lie down there, go with me!" As he said that, he came straight to pull Danica up.

Danica, who was forced to get up, sat in a carriage specially prepared for Elizabeth. She didn't bring anyone, so she followed two guard maids to the east district of the outer city.

The exhibition Elizabeth mentioned was in a four-story brick and stone building. The walls outside were painted with elegant blue, three side-by-side doors, and the doors were embossed with the God of Art, which was very exquisite. This was an exhibition hall specially used for exhibition artworks. The snowflake marks on the door were still the industry of the Aishe Chamber of Commerce. Danica really didn't know that the Aishe Chamber of Commerce was still engaged in the art business, but the Aishe Chamber of Commerce involved many industries, especially after the establishment of the Gemini Kingdom, it involved almost all types of industries.

There were guards guarding at the entrance of the exhibition hall, but the inspection was not strict, and there was no inspection at all. As long as they looked aristocrats, they could go in directly. The role of these guards seemed to be to block some beggars and drunkards. Of course, this may have something to do with the paintings of ordinary painters exhibited in this exhibition, and there were no particularly famous works.

The two guards at the door knew Elizabeth. She was originally a public figure introduced by the Holy See, and recently she often appeared in the major cathedrals of the Twin Cities. So when Elizabeth came over, the guards bowed and greeted, "Miss Saint, good morning." In the eastern region, Elizabeth was often called His Highness, but in Twin Cities, a country with highly concentrated royal power, Elizabeth could only get the title of Miss Saint.

The two guards knew Elizabeth, but did not know Danica. Even though they were members of the Aishe Chamber of Commerce, it was difficult for even the bureaucrats of the Executive Department to see Her Majesty the Queen they were loyal to. Except for the top aristocratic bureaucrats like Aishe and Lemil, other bureaucrats basically had no chance to see Danica, so they naturally wouldn't know them, let alone these ordinary guards.

However, seeing Danica and Elizabeth having a good time talking and laughing, the guards knew that this was also a great nobleman, even if they were not dressed so gorgeously, they were still a great nobleman, and they could not afford to provoke him.

The first feeling that Danica felt when she walked in was: "It seems that there are not many people here!"

The exhibition hall covers a large area and build area, but the entire exhibition hall is empty, with only a few aristocrats looking at paintings there, and they all look ordinary little nobles wearing gorgeous clothes, but not tailored or designed. They are leaning on a wooden cane in their hands, and their eyes are more confused than appreciation. It seems that they do not understand the paintings here very well. In addition to those nobles, there are also young boys and girls who are very young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a board on their backs and copying paintings on the wall. They are obviously unable to afford paintings. Many of them are ordinary civilians in their eyes, but it seems that such apprentices are not prohibited from coming here to learn paintings.

Elizabeth said simply: "The exhibition exhibited all works by ordinary painters. They are not very famous, and they are not very good to be honest. They are all subjects of a variety of subjects, so naturally no one comes to see them."

"Then are you here?"

"I mean most of the paintings here are meaningless, whether it is skills, composition or expression, they are meaningless, but..." Elizabeth paused, "There are still a few interesting pictures, I'll take you to see them."

Elizabeth took Danica directly to the fourth floor. The exhibition halls on the first and second floors are very large in size, and it can be seen that the architectural layout is for art exhibitions. But the third floor, the fourth floor, and especially the fourth floor, seemed to be designed as warehouses at the beginning, and they were all very small rooms, but for some reason, they were also used as exhibition areas, and the doors and walls were chiseled to form small exhibition halls.

The most inconspicuous paintings on the fourth floor are often the works of beginners or painters who are not famous at all. But it is precisely because of this that you can see some of the most primitive and simple paintings here, and these are the interesting paintings Elizabeth said.

"Look at this painting, it's pretty good!" Elizabeth took Danica to a small exhibition hall.

The paintings on the fourth floor are very small, often small paintings of more than ten centimeters. In comparison, this is a relatively large one, about half a meter square. This is a watercolor painting, which depicts two adults and three children, who should be a family, and they are running away. The father in the painting struggles to pull a flatbed cart, a ragged bedding, an iron pot, and a few wooden bowls. Because the cart is trapped in the mud, two thin boys are helping to push the cart behind. Next to the cart is the mother in the painting, carrying their youngest daughter, walking forward in the mud. Where they pass by seems to be a rice field, and some green seedlings can be seen lying in the mud, but now the rice field has been destroyed. In the distance, you can see a few horse riding people killing farmers in the fields. They run around in all directions, but they can't run away, and a few bodies have fallen.

"It's interesting, isn't it?"

Danica glanced at Elizabeth, wondering what she meant by "interesting" and was she ridiculing herself?

Danica looked at this picture for a while before saying, "This is really special." Although she didn't understand art very much and didn't pay much attention to it, Danica at least understood that the mainstream of paintings is still religious subjects or aristocratic class. Only painters who paint such paintings can get the support of the Holy See or the nobles, and can survive by painting. Such paintings like poor peasants, and it can be seen that paintings that satirize the powerful aristocrats will not be liked by the nobles.

Elizabeth sighed and said, "Yes, it's very special, but in fact, this kind of scene is not special at all. In many places in this world, you can see such people fleeing. Because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, for various reasons, they can't survive in their places where they live, and they run away with their only thing. But they don't know if they can escape there, and they don't know. They only know that they will die if they stay where they are, and they will die if they stop. Maybe they will die if they run away."

Elizabeth leaned against the wall, looked at the painting, and said, "Maybe in you, no, in fact, in the eyes of us, this is the natural fate of the weak. Weakness is suffering and the natural cause of humiliation and torture, but when I saw this painting, I couldn't help but feel..." Elizabeth closed her eyes and said, "I can't help but think, is it really appropriate for us to do this?"

Danica chuckled and said, "You really look like a saint now."

Elizabeth smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I have really believed it after wearing a saint dress for a long time. What I want to say is that I came here to see the exhibition that day. When I saw this painting, I suddenly felt that I was a little uneasy. Fifty thousand years ago, the dragon ruled the world. Of course, in their opinion, the human race, the elves, the beast race and the dwarf race were all weak ants. The only reason for their survival in this world seemed to be exhausted on the way to build a palace for the dragon. Don't you think it's very familiar? What is the difference between us now and those dragons in the past? You and I know the fate of the dragon. The cruel rule was overthrown by the four major races, and the entire dragon race was exterminated. Until now, most people even think that the dragon only exists in legends. What about us? Will we suffer such a fate?"

Danica smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Have your concept changed?"

Elizabeth sighed and said, "Yes, you told me more than ten years ago that civilians have huge potential power. In fact, until the beginning of this year, I still thought this was nonsense. But by chance, I heard that more and more civilians are becoming pastors. I was wondering whether civilians as a class will one day really have strong destructive power."

Danica narrowed her eyes slightly. Yes, the Holy See occupied the most densely populated area in the world. Even if there is no special experiment, as long as you are willing, you may find that the proportion of civilians with professional talents is much higher than generally believed.

But what if you realize it? Danica asked, "So that's causing you uneasiness?"

Elizabeth nodded, shook her head again, and said, "But no one believes in my uneasiness. The power gap between nobles and civilians is so big that an ordinary middle-level professional can fight against an entire elite force. If I say one day civilians, those who can only wave hoes and skinny civilians can overthrow the nobles, will definitely be regarded as a joke."
