Chapter 21 Cooperation

"What does the king of the world want?"

Despite the fact that Britannia had just won a war with the help of the king of the world, the emperor knew that everything that political creatures did had a purpose.

And a person who is not a political creature cannot become the king of the world.

"An ally. ”

"The Messiah of science?"

Morningstar nodded.

This was an issue that had been debated within the military department for several days before the dragon appeared, and although it seemed like a long time had passed, in fact, it was only half a day since the dragon appeared and died.

The emperor also clearly remembered the whole content of the argument, the pros and cons of the arguments.

But now it seems that the argument can be brought to fruition.

The desperate dragon Nidhogg will only appear at the end of the world, and whether by accident or not, its attack on Ruidu proves that after the final judgment of science comes, Brittania cannot be immune.

And the king of the world has shown enough kindness in such a rapid support.

It's just that the confrontation between Brittania and the king of the world cannot be changed so simply.

"Nidhogg has nothing to do with science. ”

Morningstar nodded.

It was no surprise to her that Ludwig II knew the purpose of the king of the world, but politics never stopped fighting and compromising.

Now that compromise is a foregone conclusion, competition is inevitable: Brittania wants to gain as much advantage as possible in the new covenant, and even the validity of the covenant itself depends on whether the king of the world pays the price to the emperor's satisfaction.

So now, the emperor will do everything possible to convince Morningstar that he is not afraid of any science at all.

But Morningstar wasn't ready to convince Brittania of how terrible science is.

"Whatever Brittania may say about science, His Majesty will prepare for war against the Messiah, so I have come this time for a temporary peace agreement, and I believe that Brittania has seen the sincerity of the king of the world. ”

Morning Star's counterattack was extremely sharp, and she reminded everyone of what had just happened with just one sentence, no matter what, it was really too much for the emperor to treat the benefactor who had just sent charcoal to him.

"Also, borrow one or two researchers. ”

"In principle, I agree. ”

The emperor did not make the slightest concession, and after the capital was just reduced to ruins, Brittania had lost the ability and confidence to confront the king of the world, and temporary reconciliation was the only option.

"Thank you. ”

Morningstar's smile was intoxicating, but most people were able to keep their senses, after all, this is one of the most dangerous people in the world.

"So, on the basis of this consensus, I have a proposal. ”

The emperor smelled danger.

"We can try to resurrect the innocents killed by Nidhogg. ”

The Emperor was silent for a long time, and he barely managed to maintain a calm expression.

Almost everyone else at the conference table looked surprised, and there was only one person in the room who was out of the ordinary.

Morningstar's face was calm, and her smile declared that everything was under control.

"How?"

The Emperor looked at the silent Morning Star and waved at the others at the conference table.

So the staff officers of the military department left with a sense of humor, and in the end, only Morning Star and the Emperor were left in the room.

"Does that need to harness the power of science?"

"I didn't bring a Protestant priest with me. ”

Instead of answering the Emperor's question directly, Morningstar took a moment to explain to him the true purpose behind the proposal.

According to Protestant doctrine, they still believe in science, and when believers die, their souls return to science. In other words, all the innocents killed by Nidhogg will become power in the hands of science. ”

This is a statement full of theological speculation and controversy, but it is undoubtedly the reason why Morning Star chose to help Brittanya, and the Emperor is convinced of it, because there is no unwarranted goodwill in the world, only tried and tested selfishness.

When the king of the world was convinced of the advent of science, everything she did was sincere, as long as it could weaken science.

"But what I know of resurrection, or soul-to-soul, is all due to the power of Scientology. ”

"Almost all myths have descriptions of the afterlife, and just now, we witnessed one of them, Nidhogg is a creature from the mythology of Esyad, and its existence is enough to prove that the power of the god Esyad still exists. ”

The Emperor understood almost instantaneously that this was a clever trap.

According to the obvious logic that only gods can fight gods, the most reliable ally she can find in the war between the king of the world and science is not Brittania or any mortal at all, but another god.

Because science does not allow any gods other than him to exist, all the gods that exist are natural allies of the king of the world.

Then, when the Brittanias sought out the god Esyad in order to resurrect the innocent dead, they were also helping the King of the World find allies, and in the end, after the success of this effort, it was the King of the World, not Britannia, who profited the most.

But it was impossible for Britannia to refuse, and the emperor could only jump into the trap in front of him, because the innocents killed by Nidhogg were the most important part of keeping the empire running.

Think about it, who lives in the heart of the imperial capital, who goes out every morning and walks three minutes to the palace?

The members of the Reich's House of Commons were almost completely wiped out, only a few government officials remained, and most of the major bank, commercial and large factory operators were killed.

Even if it was just a glimmer of hope, the emperor could not let it go.

"Is that really possible?"

"We can try. ”

Morning Star's smile was graceful and beautiful, it was the smile of a victor.

"Who do you need?"

"Magellan. ”

The answer is completely expected, among the scholars who are still active in the world, the Countess of New Taipei County and Magellan are the most accomplished in the field of ancient mythology, and the countess has no time to doppelgΓ€nger, Magellan is the only choice.

"No problem, if he himself agrees. ”

......

Magellan was walking among the ruins, the epicenter of the dragon's destruction, the ruins left by the flames had been bulldozed by the impact, and the sight was flat except for a few large craters smashed by the beasts.

He didn't know if Holmes was still on Baker Street, which had been completely destroyed and no one was spared.

The thought left Magellan a little dazed, and then he heard footsteps behind him.

That's probably the surviving explorers, and there will always be a few lucky ones in the world, some of whom survive alone in desperate situations, and some of whom have gained great power.
