Chapter 371 Three Colors of Order
“Is there anything I can do to help? Even a little bit will do.”

Audrey gently pinched the hem of her skirt, her bright face turned pale, and her eyes showed some pain and struggle.

It’s not just a conflict of identity and position, but more importantly, she knows that her power is not enough to change the status quo.

Even her father, Earl Hall, whom she always respected and thought was omnipotent, would be as small as a speck of dust when faced with the institutional rules of the entire country, the entire northern continent, and even the entire world.

Not to mention that she was just a daughter with no real power, would not inherit the title, and could only get a few hundred thousand pounds and part of the property.

Luke glanced at Audrey, who was wrapped in negative emotions, and smiled and shook his head. His voice had a convincing and soothing magic.

“No, you are too weak. You don’t have the capital and ability to fight. You can only passively wait for the war to end, so you don’t have to worry about these things.”

This sentence made Audrey no longer feel so depressed. She opened her mouth, unable to refute. After a moment of silence, she hesitated and spoke:
“Maybe I can give some financial support, not a lot, but maybe it can help a little.”

Her recent coming-of-age ceremony marked the moment she could control her own portion of the property, but she could not move large amounts of funds or sell assets, as the money was still under the supervision of her parents.

Luke shook his head again. “You have just entered the extraordinary world and do not know this world well enough. Money is very helpful to those below the level of demigods, but it lacks influence after demigods, and is almost non-existent after angels, not to mention those above that.”

Audrey looked confused. “Angel… I thought war was about soldiers fighting on the battlefield…”

Lu Ke’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. “Thinking back to history, have you ever heard of a war about resistance by the lower classes that was worthy of being recorded in history?”

Audrey recalled and was shocked to find that what Luke said was completely blank. The wars she knew about were all invasions between the four major powers.

Slightly different, the “War of Oath Breaking” that made the countries of Lenburg, Masi, and Segar independent from Feynaport, or the battle that split the Balam Empire of the southern continent into East Balam and West Balam, the main force was also the military rather than ordinary people…

“Is it because of the existence of extraordinary characteristics?”

Susie, the big golden retriever who had been keeping quiet and listening to the conversation with her ears perked up, suddenly interrupted.

The overly heavy atmosphere was broken by the dog’s words. When Audrey looked over, Susie was wagging her tail at her owner with a confused look in her eyes.

“Well, actually, I’ve been reading some books recently…”

“Smart dog.”

Luke squatted down and stroked the golden retriever’s soft fur with his skillful dog-stroking technique, causing it to hum with enjoyment and utter a truth that was far from innocent:

“Even the regular Kingdom Army, relying on technology, gunpowder, steam machine guns and warships, can only barely deal with beings below demigod under the Arbitrator’s law of ‘weakening mystery and enhancing reality’. Therefore, beggars, vagrants and workers who don’t even have a healthy and strong body can’t organize any useful resistance.”

On Earth, where a vast number of extraordinary characteristics are accumulated and the upper class controls the vast majority of extraordinary characteristics, ordinary people have no ability to turn things around. Only powerful extraordinary people are the ones who can truly resist.

But becoming an Extraordinary Person means that one has completed the transformation of identity and status and is no longer one of the oppressed people. Normal people would not think of opposing themselves or overthrowing themselves.

In the original novel, the war launched by the Feysac Empire against the Kingdom of Loen was essentially an attempt by the God of War Badhair to shake the “anchor” of the Goddess of Night, making Her condition a little worse and tilting the balance of the battle slightly towards him.

This is the limit of the impact that ordinary people can have.

“So, truly decisive battles will involve high-level extraordinary forces, not armies composed of ordinary people.”

After hearing this, Audrey smiled bitterly.

“It turns out that it’s not that I don’t want to resist, but that I don’t have the ability to resist.”

Sensing the girl’s fluctuating emotions, Luke let go of the golden retriever and soothed her softly:
“Although you can’t help during the battle, you may be able to help after the battle.”

Audrey looked up blankly, “What can I do for you?”

Lu Ke cast his gaze towards the tall chimneys emitting mist. Below, there was a crowd of people of the same standard, like an ant’s nest in the factory, and his voice was indifferent as if he was looking down on it.

“A person is a seed. Whatever you water him with will determine what flower he will bloom. If you are fed with milk and honey, you will give back fragrance and sweetness, a graceful figure, delicate features, decent conversation, independent thinking, empathy for the disadvantaged, and kindness to the world.”

“People at the bottom of society are soaked in bitter water. While they have a cruel fate, most of them are inevitably tainted with theft, slander, and jealousy. They have malice towards those around them and those who are weaker than themselves. They are also easily instigated, deceived, and blinded.”

Lu Keping raised one hand and lifted it upwards, with his palm tilted naturally.

“Once the new order comes and new resources are allocated, the survival of the lower classes is guaranteed, and everyone has extra time and energy, a large number of gray people who are potential criminals will breed, and at this time a supervisor will be needed.”

Audrey’s eyes lit up, “Supervisor? You seem to have some ideas.”

Lu Ke nodded slightly, raised his chin, and said in a calm voice:
“In my vision, there needs to be ‘white’ that strictly enforces and is fair and just, ‘black’ that handles external threats and makes reforms and improvements, and ‘grey’ that serves as a bridge between the two, responsible for communication and connection, and has a supervisory function.”

Strictly enforced laws, a country that keeps moving toward a better future, and insurance measures to prevent it from going astray. Although these words may not be perfect, the great blueprint they painted still made Audrey lose consciousness for a moment.

She pointed at herself unconfidently, “You want me to be the ‘Gray’?”

Luke looked at Audrey for a while, then smiled and shrugged at her uneasy look.

“You are far behind now, not only in terms of the Extraordinary Sequence, but also in terms of vision, cognition, and experience. However…”

He changed the subject, “You can take this position as your goal, right? ‘Audience’ is a good start.”

“…” After a brief silence, Audrey fell into deep thought.

Her eyes gradually brightened up, the color returned to her face, and she gradually regained her previous vitality. It seemed that she had found a direction to strive for, and she became less heavy-hearted.

She smiled and raised her head, her bright eyes revealing complex emotions. “I understand, Mr. Emperor. I will work hard to become a qualified audience.”

Lu Ke smiled and asked, “I’ve already told you my name, but you still call me Mr. ‘Emperor’?”

“I asked your name just because I wanted to get to know you better. As for the title ‘Mr. Emperor’, I was a little uncomfortable the first time I called you that, but after calling you that many times, I found it quite easy to say. I also hope that one day I can really call you ‘Your Majesty the Emperor’.”

Audrey blinked and said in a high-pitched voice, with a hint of teasing:

“Although, the new country and new order you mentioned now seem to be rootless and more like beautiful words, a blank check to attract investment.”

Provoked, Lu Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, “It seems that your mental problems have improved a little, and you won’t speak so respectfully and ladylike anymore.”

Audrey smiled brightly, and the low pressure on her body disappeared. She said in a cheerful tone:
“Perhaps. I do feel a little more relaxed, but I wouldn’t normally be so rude to other gentlemen.”

“I’m not a gentleman?”

Audrey touched her lips, her eyes moving, “You’ve been too strong since we met, always controlling the rhythm of our actions and conversations, and… doing that kind of thing.”

“About that, where I come from, gentleman actually means something else.”

Luke approached Audrey, put his arms around her slender waist, and smiled:
“There is a truth you need to know. When facing a powerful being without any means of checks and balances, do not easily make provocative moves. What if you make the other party unhappy?”

Audrey did not resist. As if to vent her emotions, she avoided the fiery gaze, relaxed her body and raised her head, revealing her snow-white neck, like a lamb waiting to be sacrificed.

The hot lips opened her defenses, and the touch she had experienced not long ago made her dizzy again. Audrey emptied her mind with a desire to be dominated.

“Well……”

Amid the gentle caress, Audrey felt a pair of hands caressing her legs through the hem of her skirt. She suddenly woke up from the pleasure and immediately pushed the person away with force, her tone tense.

“This, this is not possible. You can only do this after you get married…”

Luke didn’t care, rubbing it gently, “Well, it means that only this one doesn’t work.”

“should be?”

Audrey answered uncertainly, and when Luke was about to continue, she pushed him again, her face red as blood, her eyes wandering.

“Susie, Susie is still watching…”

Luke followed his gaze.

The big golden retriever didn’t have time to bury its head, so it scratched its eyes with its paws, as if trying to cover its eyes, but it didn’t. It tilted its head innocently, with its tail wagging happily.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m just a dog.”

It doesn’t understand anything!

Luke looked at Audrey with a strange expression: “You have to be careful not to be surpassed by Susie. I think it has potential.”

Audrey: “…”

Just when she was a little confused that she might not be as important as a dog in Lu Ke’s heart, the scene around her changed rapidly, turning into a fairy-tale kingdom composed of lush forests, blue lakes and golden flower fields.

Her body shrank rapidly and fell into a flower bud. When she was about to stand up, she was pulled down by a pair of strong arms, and a hot body appeared behind her.

“No, can’t…”

Audrey struggled a few times in panic and heard Luke’s soothing voice.

“Don’t worry, I remember that and I won’t do that.”

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief and blushed, “Why don’t you let me go?”

In her opinion, apart from that kind of thing, there should be kissing and caressing.

Luke sighed, “Dear Miss Audrey, you know nothing about the human imagination.

In the darkness, a panicked voice flashed by.

The sky suddenly darkened, a lingering breeze blew, the flowers were bent, surrendering to the power of nature and lowering their noble heads.

After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the flower buds that had been baptized quietly bloomed, lazily revealing their most beautiful and gorgeous appearance.
