Chapter Ninety-Three: The End of the Beginning
"You can join the Emperor's army after leaving the fortress and continue the battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
There were no cheers, no angry cursing, and the surroundings were quiet and terrible.
Then the warriors began to slowly fall to their knees, and around him, the warriors sat on the ground with their backs against the ruined walls, sighing silently.
Magellan didn't say anything more.
......
Morningstar didn't wait long for the messenger of the Incas to surrender, and Tonnan announced the abandonment of the fortress under the fortress, and then the Francian army released the siege.
And in the fortress, the Inca warriors had already begun to leave.
Everything went on quietly and plainly, as if it were a matter of course, and the only surprise was that some warriors came to Magellan and sent him their blessings.
In the end, in this fortress, which had been almost completely reduced to ruins, only Magellan and Tonan remained.
"What are you going to do if these Francians get you in trouble?"
"They won't. ”
Tonan shook his head and smiled, then left.
In the evening, Morningstar walked into the fortress alone.
"It's over. ”
"This is just the beginning. ”
"At least the end of the beginning......"
......
Magellan's troubles were not over, and he stayed with Morning Star.
Francie in the war could not afford to have Magellan once again on their side, at least for Magellan and Morningstar.
Life in the barracks was not interesting, and the eagles had already joined Francie with the Eagle's Nest, but they had already returned to Francie soil, so Magellan had to endure the boring time alone.
Soon, though, he was relieved.
The countess came to the barracks.
Magellan didn't know what she was talking to Morningstar, and when he followed Helen out of the barracks, he never saw Morningstar.
"So," Magellan soon saw an airship, small enough to move the skies of the continent unimpeded, "what's going on?"
Morningstar wouldn't be left with Magellan for long, and there was no need for the Countess to come and "save" him, unless she was in a hurry.
"I know what it is. ”
"How could it be ......"
The countess enjoyed Magellan's surprise, she did not like to see the morning star, and now at least the unhappiness was somewhat compensated.
"...... the hell you have"
"I saw a real other world. ”
"You mean?"
Magellan's reaction surprised the countess a little, but she quickly figured it out.
"You've been to Tenochtitlan before?"
"I've been there twice," Magellan smiled, "the first time was a few years ago, and the second time was not so long ago." ”
"Then you should know what I'm talking about," the countess was not surprised, "it's a whole new world. ”
"No, I don't think it's a new world......"
The strange look in which the countess looked at Magellan made him stop saying this, but Magellan still did not feel that there was anything wrong with his thoughts.
"A place without essence, without divine power, without any supernatural powers, do you take that for granted, Professor Magellan?"
"Where there are these things, there will naturally be other places where these things don't......"
"What do you ......think," the countess did not want to argue with Magellan, "think about it, if the essence of that change of the world was to bring extraordinary power to the world?"
"Uh......" Magellan wisely began to introspect.
He instinctively thought that the existence of no essence was not a strange thing, because Magellan had already seen the world without essence or any other supernatural power, but from this point of view, perhaps the existence of supernatural power in this world itself may be abnormal.
Even if this is not considered, the countess's speculation is very likely, after all, it is very much in line with the god's description of the great change, and the existence or absence of extraordinary power does determine the great change in the nature of the entire world.
"If that's the case, then it's impossible for all the supernatural powers to change, the gods have seen this change, so ......"
"That change was the birth of essence and transcendent power. ”
The countess's smile carried some kind of power that Magellan had never seen before, and he unconsciously looked away.
"Essence is fundamentally different from supernatural power, maybe it's just essence. ”
"Let's start with the essence," the countess seemed to have other corroboration, but Magellan did not ask, "if not, consider supernatural power." ”
"That would be troublesome," Magellan sighed, "in fact, the essence is always the most studied force of nature now, and scholars all over the world have no clue, and it is difficult for us to find the answer." ”
"So you had an idea so quickly?"
The countess rarely made no secret of her surprise, but Magellan's surprise came from something else.
So Helen came to Magellan simply to tell him about this new discovery.
"To find out if the essence did not exist in a certain era in the distant past, two kinds of researchers are needed, the magician who studies the essence to determine the characteristics of the essence erosion, and geologists look for such features in strata tens of thousands of years ago. Considering that the time when humans and gods were born is not so far away, something like that should not have disappeared yet. ”
"Geologist......" the countess sighed, shaking her head, "I thought you would choose to get an archaeologist to help." ”
"Do you have any other ideas?"
"At least not for the time being, and you just haven't had time lately. ”
"What?" Magellan was a little strange.
"I have come to you because a few of your friends in Brittania are anxious to see you. ”
"I didn't want to deal with explorers, and one shouldn't expect to hold back the tide. ”
"But I need a boat to get over the floods. ”
Magellan looked at the countess and the smile on her face and sighed helplessly.
......
The airship flew through the clouds, and Magellan spent most of his time discussing geologist matters with the countess, but sometimes he spent the whole day standing on the side of the ship looking out over the earth through the blue sails.
This green steppe has long been inaccessible to nomadic tribes, and along the way, Magellan can see the camp of explorers almost every day, and the columns of smoke rising for various reasons.
The New Crusaders have completely disappeared, and now have a barracks every other distance, and it is the king of the world who controls the continent, her loyal army, alongside the less loyal explorers, guarding the steppes.
"The people of the Holy See haven't left yet, right?"
"They only left the missionaries," the countess and Magellan did not care about the struggle for the new world and the expedition of the new crusades, they only cared about whether the Holy See still had the time and strength to trouble them, "As for the expeditionary force, they all went back." ”
"The farce is over, and the real tragedy has just begun. ”
