"Above all," the Admiralty Chancellor summed up his statement in the loudest voice, "no matter how the war may go, the king of the world will always stand before science and stop his march in Brittany, before our fatherland needs to fear the threat of science." ”

This is an irrefutable fact, the most powerful statement of all, and there is nothing more beautiful in the world than this: a trouble goes to your opponent before it falls on you.

The generals and staff officers in the military headquarters smiled, and except for the representative of the state religion, his face was blue and conspicuous in the crowd.

"So is it possible for science to triumph?"

The countess's words silenced the room.

Although it sounded ridiculous, the speaker was the countess, and people began to think.

The power of the king of the world is desperate, and the vast majority of people in this room have lived the war that made Francie's ruling Elizabeth the king of the world, and in fact, Brittania is the main defeated country.

"The king of the world has the most powerful mage corps in the world, whether it is firepower, scheduling, or the integrity of the command system, and even the training and drills, it is the strongest in the world," the Duke of Wellington had been silent before, he was the commander of the Brittan army in that defeat, "Let's simply say that the strongest army in the world is the Francie army, if there is an army as powerful as the Francie army to attack Francie, the winner will still be the king of the world, because she is the most outstanding army commander in the world." ”

"That means we don't have to worry about science, right?"

"No," the Duke shook his head, "I've been thinking that if there were enough cavalry to defeat the Lord of the World's mages at the very beginning of the war with shock and speed, they might be able to defeat Francie, I don't know if science has that kind of army......"

"Holy Spirit Legion," the countess knew no less about the Holy See than the state church, but she had remained silent before, "The most outstanding knights of the Crusades were just ordinary warriors among them, pure knights of light, with terrifying strength and speed, mortal weapons are difficult to hurt them, even magic. ”

"But it's not enough. ”

The Duke of Wellington said nothing more, and the countess knew that she had almost utterly failed.

"At the end of the day, Brittania is safe anyway. ”

......

"When war comes, it is always the superior who is the first to prepare, because most of the wealth that can be taken away by war is their property, and look at the present, has the army begun to prepare for war?"

The answer is no.

So far, there has been no action from the military department.

"You said that the state religion knows that science has returned, so the military department will not make wrong judgments because of a lack of intelligence. Sherlock Holmes took a long breath and closed the speech, "I believe that more people's judgment is foolish, but trust the judgment of professionals is wise, and if necessary, the military department will begin to prepare for war." ”

Magellan could not refute it.

He can't convince others with the argument that science has the confidence to destroy the world, and he has no evidence that science has such a power.

"Well, the world-destroying thing aside. ”

Magellan sighed and stood up.

"I'll go and see where the horn is hidden, I have a rough guess. ”

"Good luck. ”

......

Magellan spent a lot of time searching for the horn, and was even nicknamed by the students of the Royal Academy, but he didn't actually find much.

At first, Magellan thought that the sound of the trumpet was the signal of the final judgment of science in the book of Revelation, so according to history, he found a precious ancient Loren artifact, the bronze horn used in the great ceremonies of the Holy See at that time, but the sound was not the same as what he had heard before.

After that, Magellan actually had a conjecture that the sound of the trumpet, which could be heard by people on half the earth, from the poison to Brittany, may have come from the horn "Gjallar" in the myth of Esyad, which was to announce the end of the world.

If this guess is correct, then the remaining gods of Esyad are allies that cannot be let go, and the sound of the trumpet can spread throughout the world means that the power of the gods has not completely dissipated, and they will be a powerful helper in the war against science.

Of course, all this is premised on Magellan's correct guess.

Now he urgently needed to find the horn, according to the legend of Esyad, all the horns decorated in gold were imitations of "Gjallar", they had the same sound, but the power was far from the same.

All the clues so far are in that book, but that's enough.

The Hornsmith lived within the range of the pirate threat of Esyad and then moved to Brittania with the lord, which, combined with the time when the book was written, led to a clear result: the place where he buried the horn was the castle of a certain count near the coast of Brittany, near France.

The two lords recorded in the book were counts, which is by no means unknown in history, and Magellan had the answer almost after seeing the description of the lords for the first time.

The craftsman lived during the war between Brittania and France, and his last lord was one of the direct barons of William, Duke of Normandy, and participated in William's conquest of Brittany, and the location of his territory before he crossed the sea with William is clearly recorded in history.

"Black Rock Fort ......"

It is one of the oldest castles on this coast, named after the conspicuous black rock cliffs below the castle, which now belonged to a Francian nobleman.

In other words, Magellan must enter the territory of the king of the world.

"That's right, let's just go on vacation. ”

Sir Cook was delighted to hear Magellan's plan, and he quickly arranged everything for Magellan.

"Now Francie has a lot of people reading your books, and the king of the world likes you, and you'll be welcomed on the other side. ”

Magellan reluctantly agreed to Sir Cook, who was not yet accustomed to being a man who could be welcomed wherever he went.

Time flashed by, and Magellan's journey was smooth sailing, and it took him half a day to cross the strait by boat.

As soon as he landed on the docks, Magellan was warmly welcomed, and a noble butler, who had been waiting for a long time, enthusiastically took Magellan to board the carriage bound for his destination—Sir Cook had already arranged everything, including contacting the current owner of the castle.

"It has been a privilege to meet you as an accomplished scholar. ”

Magellan hurriedly humbled himself.
