Annan quickly realized the meaning of Sir Silver's words.
Because every time you use the fourth theory of history, you will be younger than the last time. This means that a person cannot use it twice in a row in his life.
In other words, Philip today is not as simple as being "reborn".
He has been reincarnated more than once.
If used correctly, this great-level spell could even be used to rewrite the future... but it was completely used by him to extend his lifespan.
In other words.
Before becoming "Old Philip", he had an even more ancient past.
There may even be a deeper history.
——Annan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
...shouldn't it be.
He was the one who established the Kingdom of Noah during the bloody war... Noah's first king, right?
Faced with Annan's doubts, Yin Jue said with approval: "Your answer is very close. It's just that you're not very clear about what happened at that time.
"In fact, the oldest identity of Philip the Younger is indeed inseparable from the original king of Noah's Kingdom...
"But he is not the 'original Noah', but his counselor."
"...Counselor?"
Salvatore asked doubtfully: "Isn't he the descendant of King Noah?"
"That's right."
Sir Silver nodded: "Philip was originally a half-elf counselor who was about to die of old age. And he was also the biggest contributor to the establishment of the Kingdom of Noah. His last request to King Noah was to use [Chapter 1]
"Four Histories"...in order to be reincarnated into his descendants.
"Because at that time it was just about 'reincarnation as an heir', rather than directly obtaining the throne. Moreover, the time it took up was not very long. In addition, the half-elf was old enough and would not affect King Noah's use as a human.
[The Fourth Theory of History] - After all, before this, the people who used the [The Fourth Theory of History] were still elves who were older.
"So King Noah graciously agreed."
Sir Silver said this and smiled slightly: "Of course, there is also a part of his selfishness here... that is, if the kingdom's survival encounters problems, my loyal and capable deputy can help him again."
"……I see."
Annan nodded.
He probably understood what King Noah was thinking.
From the beginning, the establishment of Noah's kingdom... was related to his excellent counselors.
At that time, Sir Silver lived in what is now King Noah's City. After the unified barrier was broken, Sir Silver built a new barrier with King Noah's City as the center... and the extraordinary beings in nearby areas, in order to compete "
The limited land within the Silver Jue Barrier was divided around King Noah's City.
The first generation of Noah was just a nobleman.
Relying on his extraordinary political wisdom, he continued to expand his power through persuasion, deception, betrayal, alliance and other means, and gradually divided and defeated his enemies.
In the end, under perfect operation, Noah united all the forces that could be united, defeated all the forces that could not be united, and established his rule.
But now it seems... the counselor who helped King Noah was "Philip". However, his name was directly erased from the history books.
This is not mysterious knowledge with any power - it is simply knowledge that has been banned and destroyed.
This is probably the choice King Noah made in order to hide the power of the "Fourth Theory of History"——
If he has outstanding descendants, pass the Fourth History to him and ask Philip to assist him, just as he assisted himself; but if there is indeed no virtuous person among his descendants who can inherit the country he has built.
Just... then "Philip" is a guaranteed choice.
At least he is one of his own, and he knows his abilities well.
Moreover, he will shed his own blood in the future.
——It is not unacceptable for him to inherit the kingdom.
"What after that?"
While Annan was still thinking, Salvatore instinctively asked: "Where is Philip?"
...How come you, a wizard who came to help, care more than us?
Annan looked over in surprise.
But he discovered that Salvatore's face was full of curiosity that could be seen at a glance.
His eyes were unwavering, without any hint of surprise or doubt - it was the kind of look that looked at the teacher with bright eyes and conviction during class, but in fact it went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't remember anything at all.
.
Only then did Annan realize.
Salvatore is not studying Philip as an enemy, nor is he exploring the secrets of the past.
He was simply listening to gossip.
...Why do you look more and more like that big golden retriever underground, senior!
Plus that husky girl, the three of you might as well form a trio to debut together.
Annan sighed and gave up the idea of letting Salvatore use his brain in unnecessary places.
After being separated for several months, I don't know what happened to Senior Sal, but "Senior Vatore"'s freedom has increased a lot.
When Annan said goodbye to Senior Salvatore before, "Senior Valtore" was only able to poke a head out of Salvatore's shoulder, or poke out two hands from his waist.
.
Whether it is the half of the body that is almost completely drilled out now, or the "eyes", "mouth" and other organs that can appear from Annan's body at will, they all appear to be extremely free.
Judging from what "Vatore-senpai" said after she appeared.
I'm afraid that Senior Salvatore has developed the habit of asking his seniors when he encounters problems...
...Could it be this kind of behavior that allowed his shadow to develop rapidly?
"If I guess correctly," Annan answered Salvatore's doubts, "the one who will inherit the throne should be Philip.
"Because Noah's second king was Philip Noah. He called himself 'Philip II'... It was also from him that Noah's kings developed the title of 'first name instead of surname'
tradition of."
"Philip II was the fourth child of Noah I. He had a sister and two brothers before him. Since then, a tradition has been formed... that is, the fourth child will be named Philip.
force's tradition.”
"Actually, the name [Philip] is an Elvish name. It means 'friend of the centaurs', which means that the elf's parents have a good relationship with the centaurs. But starting from Philip II,
The name 'Philip' took on a new and additional meaning...that of 'fourth child'."
——This can also be said to be a "meme".
Because Philip, as the fourth child of Noah I, became Philip II, inherited the throne... and became a very outstanding monarch. Then this name became "auspicious".
When people are able to give birth to four or more children, some cultural people will name their fourth child "Philip".
"But in fact, Philip II succeeded to the throne, not because Noah I could not find a good successor, so he decided to let Philip II inherit the throne."
Sir Silver said slowly: "In fact, Noah I died at the hands of Philip."
