489 Puzzle solving
Entering the palace this time, Charlie can no longer enjoy the courtesy of participating in the enthronement ceremony as the queen's personal guard last time, and after three waves of people's checks, repeated inspections from head to toe, Charlie was allowed to step into the palace of the thousand-year-old empire, Raphael Palace, and this palace is the origin of the name of the imperial capital.
Although Charles is familiar with the Prince, the Prince, and the Princess, and even stayed in Raphael's Palace for one night, he has never really seen the Buckingham Hall in the main hall of Raphael's Palace, where His Majesty the Emperor handles court affairs.
Follow the guide into the core area of the palace, enter and exit three times, go up several steps, go through a complete set of strict security system, and finally meet Her Majesty the Queen of the Millennium Empire, of course, Charlie can only stand in front of the emperor's throne, thirty yards away.
Just a few months apart, the young Queen Majesty has faded away from the dawn and childishness of the first ascending to the throne, at this moment, she is wearing a pure white gold-inlaid royal robe sitting on the throne, the Qiming scepter in her hand slightly emitted a white light, elegant, beautiful, calm, noble, eyes with insight into the face of the world, giving people a strong pressure.
If Charlie is just a petty official from a poor country, he will be shocked by the royal guard of honor, he will be in awe, he will be sincerely afraid, and even show his ugly state because of excitement and fear, and he will not be able to show his normal self; if Charlie does not exercise his incomparably powerful spiritual strength, I am afraid that he will be pressed under the queen's majestic and heavy aura, and it will be difficult to breathe; if Charlie does not have the devil's second brain, he needs to activate the chip mode to temporarily get the brain out of the state of being shocked by the powerful aura.
And now, Charlie just maintained a humble demeanor, standing quietly in front of the throne, out of etiquette, Charlie could not stare at His Majesty the Emperor with his eyes, and could only look at the imposing queen with the rest of his eyes.
Looking at the people on her left and right, the first on the left is the Prince of Wales, now the Prime Minister, and the first on the right is the Archduke of Lancelot, who is the First Sea Secretary and Field Marshal of the West.
In addition, in order, there are the First Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of State for Urban Affairs, several commanders, etc., there are familiar faces and unfamiliar faces, but no matter who they are, no matter which camp they come from, they all have a common characteristic: everyone's aura is not weak, they are all old people immersed in officialdom, quick minds, and excellent abilities.
Charlie couldn't help but sigh to himself, if when he ascended the throne, he could still see the disharmony between the monarch and the ministers, then now, Her Majesty, with the assistance of several core ministers, has fully entered the role, and is integrated with the symbolic spirit she represents, and now there is no incongruity with these famous ministers.
"This girl is really good, very temperamental!" Charlie's split brain sighed.
Since the formation of the second brain, a new consciousness has slowly developed, at first Charlie felt a little flustered, he thought that a devil's soul was born in his mind, but after his careful exploration and observation, after the analysis and judgment of the chip, he gradually realized that this may be his second personality, he can feel all the brain activities of the brain, can feel its joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and can also perceive its growth.
As a result, Charlie gradually got used to its existence, but this second personality is a little different from his main personality, it is a little evil, maybe infected with the evil nature of the devil, or it may absorb Charlie's negative energy, its thoughts and ideas are always different from the main brain's thinking, sometimes it will bring some trouble to Charlie, and sometimes it will make him suddenly.
Charlie ignored the distraction and stood there quietly, unwavering.
Gradually, Queen Elsa reined in her momentum, as if it were a signal.
The Prince of Wales leaned forward slightly, breaking the silence of the hall: "Charlie! Your offer is really expensive! The other ministers all said that you are making a fortune!"
Splitting his head and snorting coldly, he said: "This old man is Niu'er's pawn, and the contract has been signed, what's the use of talking all this nonsense?"
Charlie responded in his mind: "The prince is my lord, he has given me a lot of help, you need to respect him." ”
"Respect doesn't have to be superficial, it's up to your individual actions. ”
"If you can't even give respect to the other party in thought and language, what practical actions can you talk about?!"
The split brain gave him a shrugging expression, and while the two were talking rapidly in their minds, Charlie's external reaction did not stagnate, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was only slightly stunned.
Charlie responded indifferently: "Your Highness, if you exchange them with the church, what do you think you can get in exchange?!"
"Presumptuous, young man, do you know who you are threatening?! Are you still not a thousand-year-old man?!" an old man with a hooked nose scolded.
Searching for Chip's memories, Charlie identifies his identity, City Affairs Secretary Singh.
The new emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister gave up the position to the Prince of Wales, representing the end of the glorious era of the Stuart family, but in order to balance the domestic power and consolidate the foundation, Queen Elsa used Singh and appointed him as the secretary of state affairs, ranking fifth in the cardinal hierarchy, which was regarded as compensation for the Stuart family, so he carried the hope of the Stuart family and was the political leader of this generation of this ancient family.
"I'm just explaining one possibility, another option!"
Charlie's indifferent demeanor angered Singh, he originally regarded Charlie as an enemy, if he did not reveal the true face of Prince Weining, the Stuart family would become the first family in the thousand-year empire, more glorious than the current Prince of Wales.
Singh said in a deep voice: "Charlie, don't forget, you are a pioneer knight, and according to the tradition of the empire, the state has the right to requisition your army, including your weapons and equipment!"
"You don't have to bother!" Charlie smiled and said, "I want to remind Your Excellency Singh that this is Buckingham Palace! Not the Stuart family! The Prime Minister has not finished speaking, His Majesty has not spoken, and the Marshal has not spoken, when will it be your turn to be a Minister of City Affairs to point fingers?!"
Singh held it in his throat, his face flushed, embarrassed, if his eyes could kill, Charlie was afraid that he would have died dozens of times.
"Alright, you two stop talking!Don't make noise in front of Your Majesty!" The Prince of Wales stopped the ridicule of the two in time, turned his head and asked Charlie: "Charlie, as an advisor, can you briefly talk about the functions of these three magic patterns! Your Majesty would like to hear your professional explanation, how likely is it that our warriors will use it to defeat the new Knights of the Holy Peak?"
Charlie didn't shirk either, and said eloquently: "I can't talk about professionalism, I believe that there are many mages in the empire whose attainments in the field of magic far surpass me, and I was just lucky enough to spy on some of the mysteries of the church."
I believe you all have a very deep understanding of the Knights Templar, they always maintain a high morale! They fight hard! They are never afraid of death! They have super stamina and recovery ability! They can always dodge or withstand the fatal blow of the strong at the critical moment!!
The Knights with these characteristics are a nightmare existence for anyone, and if there are ten times more of them, then the Church can almost sweep the entire continent, and even the main army of the thousand-year-old empire can't resist it. ”
Speaking of this, the faces of everyone in the main hall sank, but no one said anything to refute it, because what Charles said was the truth, maybe there were still people who didn't believe it before, but in the past two weeks, the church has proved with its actions that the Holy Church Army is the most powerful army on this continent, and there is no one.
"In fact, these characteristics have their secrets, and luckily, I discovered them, and this time the magic pattern I invented contains the power of the divine pattern......
"Wait, I would like to interject a question, please forgive Your Majesty. "The speaker is dressed in a mage robe, and he is obviously a representative of the four major guilds, and he is qualified to enter the main hall of Buckingham, probably only the president of the guild has this qualification!
As saying, he bowed to Her Majesty, and after receiving the latter's tacit approval, he turned and asked Charlie, "How did you find them?"
"It's an epiphany! Those are some of the elements of my epiphany from the god pattern! Maybe the god pattern itself is a pattern with special rules, it has nothing to do with the gods, but it is just taken out by the gods of Wagland to deceive their believers, and they further prove the hypocrisy of these gods in the Wagland continent. ”
This is mysterious, epiphany is an indescribable mystery, you can't elusive, can't force it, it is hidden and not revealed when you are most serious and longing, it makes people scratch their ears and cheeks, sad, but it is often inadvertently revealed, so that you benefit a lot.
For magicians, everyone longs to be able to uncover the hypocrisy of the gods, which is the highest honor in the wizarding world, and only one magician has done this in the past, and that is Capello, the archmage who invented the "Holy Flame Technique".
The advent of the Holy Flame shook the foundation of the faith of the Holy Blade Church, and a large number of "Fallen Believers" were born that year, until the Church urgently revised its doctrine and spent a considerable amount of time to make up for and repair it, and its influence gradually subsided.
Originally, the Church attacked it with the serendipitude of Holy Flame, because the wizarding world was never able to come up with a second example to prove the connection between the Divine Pattern and the Magic Pattern, until this young man named "Charlie" came out of nowhere, first using the "Extreme Flame Flame" to overturn the Church's revised doctrine, and now he took out three magic patterns in one go to crack the final mystery of the Templar Order.
This achievement can be measured simply by luck?!
The old mage looked complicated and motioned for Charlie to continue.
"To put it simply, the Church combined magic and equipment to kidnap their negative emotions as human beings to create such an invincible and fearless army!
And there are only two ways to defeat them: either crush them in strength and ignore the effect of full morale and combat effectiveness, or just get the same buff status as them and fight with them!"
"You mean, we can defeat them?" a cold voice sounded in my ears, I don't know if it was the psychology of imperial power that played a role, people always felt that this voice carried a subduing magic.
The spirit of everyone could not help but be awe-inspired, and His Majesty spoke.
Charlie replied: "It can only be said that there is hope, and from the point of view of the purpose of war, we are fighting for survival, and the church is only for the sake of showing off its might, or grabbing profit."
As long as we win the next battle, prove the true strength of the Empire, and let the Holy Cult Army taste enough hardships to make them fearful, the war may end, after all, we have a common enemy with the Church!"
Speaking of this, Lancelot suddenly applauded loudly and said loudly: "Charlie, although you are not in the court, your thinking is very clear, and your judgment is very accurate, you can see it more clearly than some people who stay in the court!"
"Then it is settled, Uncle Edward, this matter will be entrusted to you, and as an adviser hired by the royal family, Mr. Charlie needs to cooperate fully with His Royal Highness until the end of the war. With that, Aisha got up and left.
Charlie was tied to the chariot of the empire by her words, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is the price of "making a fortune and making a fortune"!
