Chapter 23: The Conch

"Rest assured, I will soon end this war. ”

Magellan smiled and placed a plate of fruit on the table.

"Don't worry, it's a war between science and the king of the world for the world. ”

"Sounds like you," Holmes turned to look at Magellan, "you already have a plan." ”

Magellan sat down on the couch and was about to say something, when footsteps came from upstairs.

"Looks like I'm just in time. ”

Arthur leaned out of the corner of the stairs and laughed.

"No, you just missed it. ”

From Francie, Magellan took the Eagle's Nest and Arthur chose to take the boat, and they had planned to arrive at the same time to fight the disaster together, but in the end Arthur was a step too late, and when he arrived in Ridu, the black dragon Nidhogg was already dead.

Arthur smiled nonchalantly, walked to the table and picked up an apple: "There is no more beautiful weather than this, no clouds, no sultry, cool weather, sunshine, ah, and delicious fruits, one hundred and twenty minutes of afternoon tea." ”

"By the way," Arthur took a hard bite of the apple, then turned his face to look at Magellan, "what did you just want to say?"

"I've got a plan to help in the next war, and if I'm lucky, a strong ally can bring it to an end soon. ”

Magellan said, taking the conch from his bosom and showing it to the others.

"This thing looks familiar. ”

Arthur looked down at the conch, then nodded.

"I've seen it. ”

Magellan smiled: "In the territory of the northern Esyadians?"

"No," Arthur shook his head, "at a thief's house in the south of the Holy Loren Empire. ”

Magellan shook his head helplessly.

Being able to get a new clue was definitely good news, but the place he originally wanted to go to was the seaside in the north, which was too far away from the southern part of the Holy Loren Empire.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, I may remember anything, but I never forget what a valuable thing looks like. Arthur took the apple in his mouth, took the conch with his free right hand, put it in front of his eyes, and then took the apple off with his left hand, "This unique pure white and pure black pattern, as well as the red and blue spots of the eyes, even if you are just an ordinary person, you will definitely remember such a conch for a lifetime, right? Not to mention the one I saw who was decorated with gold and exchanged a whole hundred Elizabeth the Great from his employer." ”

Magellan sighed helplessly, from the beginning he didn't think Arthur would lie, just a little incredulous.

"When did your bounty hunter business expand into the Holy Loren Empire?"

"That's not the point," Arthur laughed, "I can tell you where that conch is, and in return, you'll have to tell me what it is, Professor Magellan." ”

"The God-King Odin bestows a reward on the most powerful warriors of mankind. ”

Magellan looked at the conch, he couldn't feel any supernatural power from it, but it was this conch that brought tens of thousands of people back to life and returned from the land of death.

"That must be worth a lot of money. ”

"I'm not sure. ”

According to the clues of the Esyadian literature that Magellan has mastered, such a conch grows on the shore of the sea where a certain Esyadian lives, and is just an ordinary sea creature, and only when a certain human creates a miracle and is recognized by the main god Odin, a certain conch will be picked up and gain great power.

It's hard to say if Arthur will see a warrior's reward, or simply a seashell picked up from the seashore.

Either way, for Magellan now, it was only a clue to the territory of the ancient Esyadians, and it was not necessarily more useful than the one in his hands.

"It was a collection of the Esyad family, with a long history, and the employer even boasted to me that his ancestors had fought with Odin. Arthur bit down on the apple and muttered, "He has a thick mortal book that is said to contain all the family history. ”

Magellan was simply overjoyed.

He had tried his best to find records of the Esyadians, but he had little to gain, and Magellan never imagined that there was a noble family of the Esyadians in the south of the Holy Loren Empire, which was theoretically completely outside the scope of the Esyadians' activities.

And it's a family with a historical record.

"Do you know where he is?"

"Of course. ”

......

Morningstar's negotiations with the emperor entered a new phase.

After the resurrection of the innocents killed by the black dragon, many people's minds have changed.

For Brittania, war was no longer a threat that could come at any time, but a fact that had already taken place, and the Empire would be ready for war, regardless of whether the scientific Doomsday Judgment would arrive on the archipelago or not.

And reconciliation with the king of the world is something that must be done.

As for the original plan to ask Magellan to help, it was no longer necessary, and the emperor began to look for new ways to release goodwill.

The most important thing is to convince the king of the world that Brittania is determined not to give an inch out of stubbornness and even stupidity, so that Brittania does not have to pay too much to reach a settlement.

Morningstar knew this, so she became stubborn, headstrong, and stupid first, and did not give an inch in the negotiations, giving the emperor a headache.

Nevertheless, the negotiations quickly entered the fast track.

Only first-class politicians know that there is nothing but interests in politics, and only politicians can see the fundamental and long-term benefits, and pay the price now when they do not see the results.

And because of the existence of the king of the world, now in this world, the level of all political creatures has been raised by one level, because those who are not strong enough have been eliminated by Francie.

So now, the Emperor can have dinner with Morning Star, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

"I still don't know how you're going to fight science. ”

"It's nothing more than a religious war. ”

"No, I'm talking about science itself, we can kill gods, but science has no substance, that's determined by the teachings of Scientology. "In order to fight against the king of the world, the emperor became a diligent and conscientious man, so he excelled in any field, "Magellan can kill a giant with divinity, but how can he kill a light with divinity?"

"You've gotten to the heart of the matter, the essence of science. Morningstar gave a mesmerizing smile, and the lights seemed brighter, "We can't kill science itself, unless faith is destroyed." ”

"What?" cried out the Emperor in astonishment, "so you didn't bring the priest with you." ”
