After having some snacks in the front hall, she separated from Vita, and Ling went to Mitina's lounge. In the lounge, Mitina, who took off her red ball mask, told Ling why she came here.
.
Mitina was not the only representative of the great nobility who was invited to this flying ship. Rather than giving Conlater a face or something like that, their interest in the largest passenger ship in the world was the main reason why they came to participate. However,
In addition, Ling also heard other inside information from Mitina.
"Informal meeting before the formal alliance of the Noble Alliance - is this what it is?" Unexpectedly, she learned new information from the new green-haired girl, and Ling nodded.
However, Mitina did not continue talking about this topic immediately, but instead talked about something that interested her.
"Sister Ling, has she grown taller recently? She is almost nineteen years old, can a girl still grow taller? Is it the legendary secondary growth?"
"When you said that, you must have had some guesses in your mind."
"Hehe." She stuck out her tongue to Ling, and Mitina walked around the room, her fingertips emitting a faint light and setting up a simple soundproof barrier.
"Actually, I overheard the chat between you and General Alleria when I attended Prince Olibat's birthday party last year. I just thought it was a bit unbelievable. Now I'm almost certain. Peerless prodigies and so on do actually exist.
ah."
"You actually still remember what happened at that time. I almost have no memory of it myself." Although it happened almost nine months ago, it seemed like a long time ago to Ling.
"So is Sister Ling really 'Sister' Ling?"
"It's up to you to guess. In fact, I can't deny that my true age is concealed. Vita doesn't know my actual age. After all, in terms of qualifications 'over there', I am still her senior. However,
This does not affect our relationship."
Neither sure nor negative, because the concealment work was done early enough, there are actually only a handful of people who know her actual situation. In the absence of information, even the smart little elf in front of her cannot easily guess.
Find the answer to the riddle.
"That's right. I have always treated you as my sister for five years, and this impression will not change even now." Mitina showed her sweet dimples, smiled and sat down next to Ling.
"We've known each other for five years, so we haven't met that often. The last time we had a conversation like this was nine months ago."
"We rarely meet in real life, but we never stop exchanging letters. We have written conversations every quarter, and I have carefully studied and treasured the handwritten books you gave me. In my heart, Sister Ling is the same as Vita.
Just like teachers and craftsmen, they are all elders who teach and teach."
Hearing what Mitina said, Ling raised her eyebrows.
"You're not serious, are you?"
"It's serious."
"That would bother me a lot."
Ling pretended to be troubled, and then Mitina burst into laughter.
"After all, I didn't really teach you anything? I just gave you a few books that I read to pass the time."
"Those books really opened my eyes. Sister Ling, you definitely showed me those 'banned books' on purpose, right? And I asked a friend from the Academy to help me investigate the author's information, but I found nothing.
This is incredible.”
Books that did not originally exist in this world, and authors that did not originally exist in this world, she did not know if she would regret doing this, but as the knowledge acquired with true wisdom, she carried out her work on the continent of Samlia
As part of the attempt to recreate it, you may get unexpected results.
"Question of origin, works before the Great Collapse? Well, which ones are your favorites?"
"The Prince, The Wealth of Nations, and Capital."
"Eh heh heh!? Ah, as expected of you. How about a brief description of your thoughts after reading it?"
"Well..."
Mitina pondered for a moment, "To be honest, after reading it, my head was in a mess. I don't know how to evaluate it at all. Maybe I feel a little confused. I have also considered whether it is really good to continue like this? But I still
You are young, and you still have time to worry."
She probably omitted some of the words she originally wanted to say in her answer, and Ling could not fully understand what Mitina wanted to express.
"It seems that it has added a lot of unnecessary trouble to you. I'm sorry."
There are economics and political sciences on the continent of Samria, and they have developed to a good level. Tova's parents who have passed away are experts in these two fields, but related books are difficult to publish because of control and censorship.
The empire publishes boldly. For example, Michel Gideon (comrade G), who was originally an associate professor of political science at the Imperial Academy, resolutely published "Road to Dystopia" in 1202, but was officially banned and lost his job.
...On the other hand, there are more academic journals in the Republic, and the publishing of books is relatively free.
This does not mean that the knowledge on earth is necessarily better than the knowledge developed by the Samlians themselves. There is no such thing. The central tower of the floating city has left many theories about the 21st century earth civilization that surpasses her previous life.
Well. Ling's current research has long since left the stage of copying the development of earth science for granted. In addition to the mathematical methods that can be used for reference, Ling has been groping for an unknown future.
It seems to be a very nonsensical thing to take out books from the earth casually on the continent of Samria. Ling decided to strictly seal the three circles outside the third circle of her underground library after returning, and never let it go.
They spread easily. She had begun to reflect on her impure motives for doing this.
Ling felt quite sorry, which surprised Mitina.
"No." Mitina quickly waved her hand, "On the contrary, I am very lucky to have obtained this valuable knowledge. I had no chance to know this in the women's college..."
"After all, the impression I got there is actually closer to the feeling of a school for aristocratic brides."
"Hehe, that's not the case. Although most of them are children of nobles, 'lady's hobbies' are actually very popular over there."
"That's... no, you don't need to talk to me about this topic. My ability to accept this aspect is quite low."
Seeing that Mitina quickly returned to a healthy state, Ling's slight sense of guilt just now disappeared.
"Huh? Unexpected."
"After all, I also have this side of a traditional imperial woman. I basically have no interest in that kind of thing."
Ling stretched her eyebrows and looked at Mitina with eyes that showed no smile.
Wow, how scary. After Mitina felt this way, she quickly changed the subject and talked about the noble alliance that was left aside at the beginning.

◇The following is a certain built-in book of Flash 3 mentioned in the text◇

"Road to Dystopia"
——Have you ever heard of the term “dystopia”?
Recently, based on the arguments of the so-called "renovationists", when criticizing the conservative aristocratic system, they proposed a status system in which everyone is equal except the royal family at the top, and that the country should be enriched in order to become a strong country.
As the highest priority goal, he insists that this is the utopia that the empire and all imperial people should strive to create.
In response to this argument, the arguments of the "aristocratic faction" focus on respecting tradition, which cannot be called a logical proposition. Therefore, the current situation can be said to be that the "renovation faction" continues to have the upper hand. Although the author is not familiar with the aristocracy itself
I am not positive, but after observing the political situation in the past few years, I have to have doubts about such a proposition.
Among them, what makes the author most suspicious is the words, deeds and policies of Prime Minister Gillias Osborne, the representative of the imperial government. As the leader of the "renovation faction", he is a well-known civilian background. Although he was dismissed as prime minister when he took office
Although he was awarded a knighthood, he stated his rejection of the class system on all occasions and implemented tough measures. Needless to say, this incident must have laid a fuse between him and the aristocratic forces, but this is not the core of the problem.
He has emphasized the concept of "an era of dramatic change" several times in his speeches. The leadership revolution has indeed accelerated everything, not only in the territory, but also in the economic field. Disputes have also surged inside and outside the empire. These are undeniable.
In fact, his proposition hit the mark. However, if you observe carefully and in-depth, you will definitely find that most of these confrontations and turmoil are due to the strong and clever intervention of the imperial government, as well as the secret work of the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency established by the Prime Minister himself.
the results of the activity.
Chu Lai City, which was annexed 6 years ago, was inflamed with huge flames and was inflamed by the great nobles who aroused public resentment due to the unsightly tax reform and some areas and residents who fell victim to the expansion of the railway network.
Swallowing, and occasionally adding firewood like hatred to make the flames burn brighter - you should be able to actually imagine such a scene.
But the vision ahead is not a utopia (utopia), but a dystopia (dystopia) in which everything is sacrificed to the monster of the era of drastic changes. All ethics of good and evil will collapse.
A world where everything is governed by struggle. A world like the Key is like a prairie fire, devouring not only the empire, but the entire continent...
It doesn't matter if you laugh at this as a foolish delusion, and I will accept all the slander and slander against me personally. However, the author is betting on his career as a political philosopher and resolutely publishes this article. I hope that as many sensible readers as possible can read it.
