Even if it was understandable about the classes at Janes Royal Academy, Ellie was somewhat disappointed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Let's go to the library tomorrow and look it up, I hope there is research on this here." Ellie, who spoke so softly, buried her face in her arms again. Thinking back to the past, the impressive past.

…………

In my memory, there is only the back of my father who seems to reject everything, and the sound of my mother sobbing.

When I was a child, I would watch my father go out to work with my mother in the entrance every day.

The door opened, and the father disappeared into the dazzling white light.

I always sent my father out with a smile on my face. But that's because I knew my father would come back.

Since the father and mother quarreled every day, and the family rang out from time to time angry scolding, one day. My father walked out of the house with a lot of luggage that he never carried with him to work, and he never came back.

Beside my mother, who was crying bitterly, my eyes widened and I saw the whole thing. Until the door of the entrance closed and my father could not be seen, everything was imprinted in my mind.

…………

Since then, Ellie has been determined to resolve the contradictions in the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture and govern the Crossbell Autonomous Region.

For this reason, Ellie began a long study abroad under the arrangement of her grandfather from a very young age, country after country, college after college, in the long process of studying, Ellie has sought advice from many scholars, asking for advice on how to deal with the problems of Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, how to save the city named the magic capital.

However, the more she consulted with many scholars and professors, and the more she learned from it, the more Ellie realized how difficult it was to govern the special territory of Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, which was sandwiched between the two great powers of the Republic of Calvard and the Erebonian Empire.

Although it is called an autonomous region, Crossbell is not completely independent. Moreover, the parliament has always been divided into the imperial and republican factions, and they are intrigued with each other. As long as one of the forces is about to overwhelm the other, the other side will do whatever it takes to regain power, legally or illegally. This land is also essentially a political arena for a tug-of-war between the two great powers. Not only that, but because they are nominally unrelated third countries, it is easy to allow illegal activities to take place. It's one thing for a strong country to make trouble in someone else's courtyard, but Cross Bell, whose own house is trampled on by outsiders, can't bear it.

Another point is economic dependence on foreign countries. Crossbell has been a thriving city for trade since ancient times. Some even call it the crossroads of the continent of Semuria. Not only the two great powers, but also trade with the Kingdom of Liber and the Far East.

While Mira brought people, goods, and wealth, she also brought darkness. Rumors have pointed out that there are many stolen goods and contraband circulating in the underground market. Even if they wanted to ban it, they would not be able to check them one by one because of the large number of imports.

So, if all communication with foreign countries is cut off and self-sufficiency within the autonomous region is cut off, will peace be restored? The answer is no.

If this happens, it won't be long before the empire, the republic, or the two countries will immediately send troops to invade the land and claim it as territory. Either it will be annexed in an instant, or it will be turned into a fierce battle between the two armies, and the entire land of Crossbell will be turned into a sea of fire.

Whether to say fortunate or unfortunate, Crossbell's value as a political arena has risen every year. Convenient location. A number of high-end hotels have been built under the economic prosperity. It is conducive to espionage activities. The combination of these factors has led countries to choose this place for countless times to hold secret talks.

Such a convenient location, whether it is the empire or the republic, of course, wants Crossbell to continue to be a caged bird.

Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture is a special piece of land, and geographical factors make it unable to be completely independent, but relatively speaking, it will not be defeated by powerful countries. This delicate balance can only be maintained for the time being.

…………

Early in the morning, Ellie, who had just been admitted to Janis Royal Academy, got up from bed, quickly dressed up, and left the dormitory.

While the rest of the students were wandering around Lu'an during the few free days before classes started, Ellie spent her days in the library, looking for books that might help her.

Ellie's time is very tight, and before she finds a solution to the problem in Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, Ellie is eager to spend one part of her time as two, and carefully absorb all the knowledge that may be useful.

It is this diligence and dedication to knowledge, coupled with great talent, that makes Ellie an excellent student. A talent who is so good that many scholars, experts, and research institutions have invited him.

Stretching slightly, Ellie, who had been in the library all morning, soothed her mental exhaustion and looked at the cover of the book in her hand again. This is the work of a man who previously served as a whip in the Janise Academy in the Kingdom of Liber.

Although she didn't find any satisfactory answers in the teaching curriculum, Ellie was confident that she would be able to learn a lot of useful things from the Kingdom of Liberl.

In the report she wrote while studying abroad, Ellie plans to sort out the differences between the royal system and the republican system, and take this opportunity to take a good look at the Liber Kingdom, which is so similar to Crossbell.

Like Crossbell, the Kingdom of Liber is close to the two powerful countries of the Empire and the Republic, but it can maintain an independent system with a small country through a unique diplomatic route. Ellie thought that the country's political practices might serve as a reference, so she studied there.

Although the course was a little disappointing for Ellie, Ellie believed that she should be able to find useful answers in the Kingdom of Liberl.

However, after only a few days in the Liber Kingdom, Ellie discovered that even if they were also sandwiched between the Republic of Calvard and the Erebonian Empire, the Liber Kingdom and the Autonomous Prefecture of Crossbell were different.

The Kingdom of Liber is also a special country. Its royal family is loved by the people, and it has the industrial technology to counter foreign powers. The domestic political base is stable, and there are weapons abroad. Coupled with those soldiers who love their homeland, the Cassius who bankrupted the iron-blooded prime minister's plan, with these, he can stand on the starting point of independence.

As for Crossbell, what does it have, finance, trade, finance, trade, and then there is no such thing as a strong army, no heroes strong enough to support the fate of the kingdom, no industrial system that supports the security of the kingdom, and there is nothing but finance and trade.

Originally, there was also a steel industry called the Void Brigade, but it has been slowly scrapped in the past two years. Under the influence of the major forces, it was abolished.

When Zheng Shuanglong was there, he also said that Zheng Shuanglong was not in Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, and there was no one who could calm the scene, and the Republic of Calvard and the Erebonian Empire would not be happy that Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture had heavy industry that could support the backbone of the country.

As Ellie pondered, a slow, but distinctly clear voice in the silent library interrupted Ellie's thoughts.

Ellie, who heard the footsteps, instinctively turned her head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and walked over an old man with a long white beard.

This old man Ellie knew, he was the most eminent scholar in the Kingdom of Liberl and the head of the Royal Academy of Genesis. Before coming to study abroad in the Kingdom of Liberl, Ellie learned about the old man. He is a great scholar and an outstanding educator.

Seeing that it was Principal Collins walking over, Ellie quickly stood up and greeted softly, "Hello, Principal! ”

"Don't be so nervous, I'll just come over and take a look, well, just look, I just went through the entrance exam and read in the library the day after the entrance exam, there are really not many children who love to study so much." With a kind smile on his face, the old man Corinth said with gentle emotion: "It would be great if there were a few more children like you in the academy who love to learn." ”

The kind expression, some witty way of speaking, made Ellie's expression soften.

"You're Ellie from the Department of Sociology. Do you have any questions about these writings? Looking at the thick books on politics on the table, the old man asked gently.

"Headmaster, these books are not very difficult, and they are not very difficult to read, but they do not solve the doubts in my heart." Ellie bowed her head slightly.

"Yes, you are from the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, well, it is also a little difficult for me to come up with a reasonable solution to the problem of the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, the scholars of the Republic and the Empire have already calculated Crossbell...... By the way, there is a set of books with gray covers on the thirteenth floor of the thirteenth bookshelf in the library, if you are interested, go and check it out, although it may not be able to solve the doubts in your heart, but it may be able to give you a little inspiration. With that, the old man Corinth turned and left.

For studious children, Collins still likes it very much, knowledge knows no borders, therefore, the old man Collins doesn't mind giving Ellie a little guidance, as for whether Ellie can get the answers she wants from that set of books, this is Ellie's own business.

After all, people have borders, and guiding Ellie to discover that the set of books that had been sealed in the library of Janice Royal Academy for several years was already the limit of the old man Corinth, and if he said more, it would be a little too much.

"Thank you very much, Headmaster!" Looking at the back of the departing old man of Corinth, Ellie thanked softly.

Ellie still attaches great importance to Principal Corinth's prompts, and Ellie, who was born into a political family, is quite sensitive to changes in other people's expressions. The so-called study abroad is to be an outsider who blends into a community such as a school or academic institution, and in order to make others accept her as an outsider, she can always skillfully use her talents and grasp the mood of the other party.

Because of this, Ellie was sure that Old Man Collins really wanted to help her.

Borrowing a ladder from the librarian, Ellie finally found the dusty book from the thirteenth floor of the thirteenth shelf, the book that Principal Corinths said would be of some help to herself—The Rise of a Great Power.

…………

Culture...... System......

Is it because of the ambition and tolerance, or because of the inclusiveness. Talents from all regions gathered at his feet......

Only a unified country can have enough strength and determination to expand the seas and carry out a great voyage, which also fully demonstrates the strength and determination of a country......

The accumulation of decades of knowledge and courage of navigators began to translate into dazzling wealth......

Open your horizons, like the developed countries to learn, the purpose of learning is to catch up, in history, to catch up with the strategy of late-developing countries......

Ellie, who borrowed "The Rise of a Great Power" back to the dormitory to watch it, looked at the lines of words on the book, and the lines of words that guided the development of the Liber Kingdom, and her heart surged. Because she has enough knowledge, a broad vision, and a smart brain, Ellie can understand how much wisdom is contained in this gray book in her hand.

Although because this set of books is aimed at the Liber Kingdom, and is all about the problems of the Liber Kingdom, Ellie has no way to find a solution to the problems of the Liber Autonomous Prefecture from this book.

However, Ellie understands that she has found out, found someone who can solve the problem of Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, and he is the author of this book - Zheng Shuanglong.

Since Zheng Shuanglong was able to design such a classic development outline for the Liber Kingdom, the future way to solve so many problems. Well, he should also have the ability to solve the Clos Bell Autonomous Region.

Ellie, who was full of hope and excitement in her heart, gently touched this set of books, as if this set of books was a life-saving medicine and a billions of wealth.

After carefully studying "The Rise of Great Powers", Ellie, who felt Zheng Shuanglong's sea-like wisdom, began to look for news about Zheng Shuanglong in the Genesis Royal Academy.

This set of "The Rise of Great Powers" is probably not a long time to be written, probably only a few years, and this set of books is dusty in the Genesis Royal Academy, which means that there must be news of Zheng Shuanglong here.

Thinking of this, Ellie was very excited, but after a few months, Ellie did not find any news about Zheng Shuanglong in the Genesis Royal Academy, and there was no trace of Zheng Shuanglong, as if Zheng Shuanglong had never been to the Genesis Royal Academy.

However, Ellie understands that this is impossible, the book is here, and Dean Corinths still knows about this book, which means that there must be people who know Zheng Shuanglong in this Genesis Royal Academy, at least, Principal Collins knows about Zheng Shuanglong's existence.

However, there has been no news of Zheng Shuanglong for such a long time, which has made Ellie quite disappointed.

Just when Ellie was about to despair, she found traces of Zheng Shuanglong. One of the new teachers in the academy was named Zheng Shuanglong, and he seemed to be teaching the classmate named Klos. (To be continued.) )
