"You're no fun anymore, Graff.""I never was.""At least you can tell me why. There were a lot of us who thought Demos<strong>the</strong>nes would be Hegemon someday.""There was never a chance of that. No, even Demos<strong>the</strong>nes' mob of political cretins couldn't persuade <strong>the</strong>Hegemon to bring Ender back to Earth. Ender is far too dangerous.""He's only eleven. Twelve, now.""All <strong>the</strong> more dangerous because he could so easily be controlled. In all <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>the</strong> name of Ender is one toconjure with. The child-god, <strong>the</strong> miracle worker, with life and death in his hands. Every petty tyrant-to-be wouldlike to have <strong>the</strong> boy, to set him in front of an army and watch <strong>the</strong> world ei<strong>the</strong>r flock to join or cower in fear. IfEnder came to Earth, he'd want to come here, to rest, to salvage what he can of his childhood. But <strong>the</strong>y'd neverlet him rest.""I see. Someone explained that to Demos<strong>the</strong>nes?"Graff smiled. "Demos<strong>the</strong>nes explained it to someone else. Someone who could have used Ender as no one elsecould have, to rule <strong>the</strong> world and make <strong>the</strong> world like it.""Who?""Locke.""Locke is <strong>the</strong> one who argued for Ender to stay on Eros."第 322 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
