"I must tell you that the death of His Royal Highness Philip has nothing to do with me."
Princess Elizabeth said with certainty: "We have got some clues and arrested the people related to the clues. This involves some more complicated things."
"oh?"
Annan showed just the right amount of curiosity: "Can you tell me something?"
cannot--
The eldest princess wanted to say this, but she couldn't.
She really didn't want to explain this, but she had to satisfy Annan's curiosity...or in other words, she had to convince Annan that this accident was not her hostility towards Annan.
If faced with a mature person in power - even Annan's father, or even Annan's brother, Dmitry Winter who is named Winter but does not have the power of Winter, Elizabeth would dare to do this
It’s time to make some plans to gain some benefits for yourself and Noah.
But when facing Annan, she didn't dare to jump too much.
Because she was worried that Annan would not understand her subtext and would not know how to tolerate and exchange benefits.
To put it simply, she was afraid that Annan would be a fool.
In Noah, such a stupid young man would not be able to secure the throne; but in winter, no matter how young Annan is, as long as he holds the three-color scepter in his hand, he is the Duke of Winter.
——This is the power of [tradition].
Negotiation is inherently a war.
There are very few cross-border negotiations that reach a consensus as easily as last night. They happened to reach a unity of interests... It was a very coincidence that what Noah had in excess happened to be what Li Dong lacked.
The relationship between them is like a mortise and tenon joint.
Lingdong is short of money and a lot of supplies. They don't have enough labor force, and they don't have advanced technology like the Theocracy...
The greatest advantage of the Principality of Winter lies in their "orthodoxy".
Yes, orthodox.
All the current countries - even the Theocracy, were actually rebuilt from the ruins after the collapse of the Aslan Empire.
But only the Principality of Winter is different.
During the empire period, the Grand Duke of Winter was still a Grand Duke, and the Principality of Winter was still a principality. Even their territory did not shrink much... It was precisely because of this that some people tried to use the spell power again.
If it were another country and they dug through the ground, they wouldn't be able to find the elven ruins.
And coincidentally, the god that the Principality of Winter serves is the old grandmother.
Grandmother is the god of tradition, the inventor and manager of all "conventions" and "laws" in the world, and the highest supervisor of "law" as a means of order - and the most ultimate violence.
Violence used to uphold the law.
Sir Silver's power also includes the "contract" part. But the contract itself is part of the "tradition"... Sir Silver can make a ruling on the contract, which is actually the power granted to Sir Silver by his grandmother.
——And since the old grandmother can give Sir Silver this kind of power, the old grandmother's church can naturally give the same type of power to Sir Silver's church, but more miniature.
For merchant nobles like Noah, they have no shortage of money, no shortage of people, no shortage of territory, no shortage of resources... They may be slightly lacking in technology, because they still cannot develop "theocratic technology".
Whether it is the giant tower that reaches the sky from the ground to the top of the clouds, or the airship that can fly smoothly and carry cargo, or their latest invention of the internal combustion engine - less than five years after the Theocracy invented the internal combustion engine, they have already made
The next step in improvement was... a new type of transport device called a "diesel locomotive".
The court scholars on Noah's side had already adopted the concept of "internal combustion engine" and copied existing steam engine samples to create a simple internal combustion engine.
But what makes them regretful is that this does not seem to be the same thing as the internal combustion engine in the Theocracy... Not only does it need to be driven by a poisonous gas made from "green fire" as raw material, but the combustion efficiency is not as good as
The efficient steam engines they use today are highly efficient.
The Theocracy, on the other hand, has made at least two rounds of improvements to the internal combustion engine. It has even begun to prepare to put it into practical use.
Most people may think that this is because Suifu's priests had extraordinary scientific literacy.
But the eldest princess Elizabeth knew that they just cheated.
The "Sixth Phase Purana" allows people of this era to go directly to the future - it is not like the magic of the prophet school, where they can only see the part they will know; nor is it like the future seen by the horse people.
It is unclear and may be changed at any time.
But really, entering the "future".
——Of course, it will not be their true body.
If it is thrown into the past by the [Sixth Phase Purana] in the form of ontology, then this is a kind of expulsion. And it is the highest form of "exile" that can never come back.
They are actually projected out in the form of thoughts. They cannot communicate with people in the future and can only "observe" like ghosts... It's like having a dream and dreaming about what will happen in the future.
.
It can also be understood that the Sixth Phase Purana put part of their "missing body" into the future, and then did not take it back - and this part of their missing body "experienced" what happened in the future, so the prophetic school
Spells can calculate this part of the future.
Through this constant peek into the future, they can quickly refine their technology.
——Although after being projected into the future, they cannot stay for too long and cannot communicate with people. But the Theocracy in the future will naturally know of their existence... so the Theocracy will make some "inspiration points" of important technologies and knowledge into stone slabs.
The institution is placed in the room where the "Sixth Phase Purana" is stored.
They can instantly overcome some of the current scientific research problems they encounter by reading these "future slates".
This kind of cheating method will undoubtedly make people confused - was a certain technology invented in the past, or was it invented because people in the future told people in the past?
The answer is simple.
——Because the future is uncertain.
Destiny is the rut of the heavenly carriage... The "future" that has not yet passed by the heavenly carriage is uncertain.
Almost all gods have the ability to peer into the future, just more or less. But the future they see is not absolute - all people or gods who can see the future, if any one of them changes it, it will cause the future to happen.
Variety.
That’s why the exile in [Sixth Phase Purana] is absolute.
Because the exiles may not even have entered their future.
Instead, he was thrown into a "future that does not exist."
The cheaters in the Theocracy relied on the [Sixth Phase Purana] to speed up the scientific research process like a snowball.
But after Noah founded the country, he almost never used the "Fourth Histories" to do anything for the country - even the name "The Fourth Histories" was what she heard from the court scholars in the United Kingdom.
As a princess, the future queen...she doesn't even know the name of her country's great curse and its use!
This makes her feel ashamed.
This was one of the reasons why she was hostile to Philip.
Philip didn't know that she actually understood the "Fourth Theory of History". But the eldest princess never showed this.
But now everything is different.
Because Philip is dead.
In addition, there is better news——
"The church confirmed through rituals that the person who killed Philip was a fallen person."
Elizabeth replied: "And he is a member of the [Nicholas School]. We suspect that this may be related to Philip having killed the Blood Demon."
Of course, both she and Annan knew that it was actually the "Blood Demon" who failed to assassinate Philip and was killed instead.
But who cares.
"Because of this, Kafni must temporarily stop going out and wait for the investigation of the Three-Eyed Crow and the Silver Lord Church."
Elizabeth said solemnly: "Of course, please don't misunderstand. It's just an investigation. This is a process. If we confirm that she has nothing to do with this matter, the investigation will be over.
"Because Sir Silver has returned. By asking Sir Silver, we have already learned...who owns the ownership of Philip's 'head' now."
"……who?"
Annan frowned slightly.
He actually already had the answer in his heart, but he still hoped that Elizabeth would tell her.
The answer was indeed not beyond his expectation.
"—It's Nicholas II."
The eldest princess Elizabeth replied slowly: "His real name is... Nicholas Flamel."
