Egil chuckled, and then made a very helpless look: "Okay, Your Highness Princess, I just wanted to chat with Your Highness. I didn't expect His Highness to get serious in the end. It seems that if I don't explain it properly, you won't give up, princess - well, I'll just reveal a little bit of news about the [Shina God Slaughter Group]. Lilianu. At the end of the day, Egil called out Lilianu's name. It made Her Royal Highness the princess, who was originally nervous, a little ashamed.
"I'm listening. Lilianu nodded.
"Have you heard of the legend of Atlantis?" asked Egil.
"Huh, are you going to tell me you've found the lost Atlantis?" Lilianu snorted angrily when she heard Egil say this.
"What if I say that I have indeed found the lost Atlantis?" said Egil earnestly, "just across the Atlantic. A vast territory much larger than the whole of Europe - a little different from the legendary Atlantis, of course - or perhaps something has gone awry. There are indeed some civilizations there. But it's not as advanced as the legend says. It's even worse than the mainstream in Europe. Because there were no cattle and horses, their agricultural civilization used manpower exclusively. The army also did not have a cavalry configuration. In addition to this, the means of transport also had no cars and no wheels. For the forging of gold, it is excellent. But there was no iron smelting. Not even bronze. The weapons are all made of stone and wood.
Their civilization was like this - a large population, a barbaric heretical cult of human sacrifice, a huge city-state system, advanced agriculture, extremely backward industry, extremely backward armies...... Of course, what is even more important is that the country's gold reserves are very abundant - they have enough gold to fill the holds of all the warships I have sent ten times, if not more, and their population is several times larger than the population of the Norman Empire today! such a backward but rich country. It was God who gave me. I will conquer it completely, spread the Gospel of Christ, and fulfill my ambitions!"
Egil's words were half-true, but he mixed some of the things he knew in his past life with what he had experienced in this life, and told Lilianu like this. This is how his plan is explained.
"You're lying!" Lilianu hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "How can there be such a good thing in this world?
"I never lie. Egir said what was arguably the biggest lie of the plane, and looked at Lilianu very seriously, "In half a year at the most, my fleet will return - with a lot of gold, silver, and the specialties there. Until that time. You'll know if I'm lying. ”
“...... Half a year?" Lilianu heard Egil say this, and her heart became a little more convinced of what Egil said, and then, her face became more eager: "If that's the case—"
The Roman galleys had great difficulty navigating the Mediterranean. Not to mention the Atlantic, which is ten times more windy. As for my country, I don't want to share that territory with other nations, which God has given to the Normans. Egil immediately understood what Lilianu meant. Directly block her words.
"There will be a way - if what he says is true. Lilianu then stopped asking Egir. The topic of discussion on both sides has gradually shifted from politics to culture and entertainment. As for the cultural aspect, Egil, who is well-informed and has been at the bottom of his previous life, can say something. From the expansion of the Indo-European Semitic people. Abraham, the first human ancestor of mankind, and there is a similar legend in Islam, which is pronounced as Ibraham, and it is actually the same person.........
So, some people might ask questions like this—God is omniscient and omnipotent, created everything, and is so heathen. Those who believe in the wickedness of the devil. My answer is that God created them as well, and that they are conceived by the same ancestor as us. However, after this, we still maintain our loyalty and faith in God, and they gradually degenerate, being tempted by the devil and becoming the minions of heretical demons. ”
“...... It turned out to be something like this...... "Hearing Egil say this, combined with modern archaeological findings and medieval theology, sounds very presentable." It may be a little bold, but it is certainly acceptable - and even reinforces the legitimacy of the Christian faith. At this moment, Lilianu's opinion and evaluation of Egil have further improved a lot.
"Originally, I thought that I had a high opinion of him. But I didn't expect it to be insufficient. He was also highly skilled in theology and history. Philosophy, geography and humanities are also very good...... It's a genius. ”
Seeing Lilianu's eyes sparkle at him, Egil was also a little proud. It's like the admiration of such a beautiful and intellectual girl.。 But it's something to be proud of. Even Egil is not exempt from vulgarity.
But then, Lilianu and Egir talk about music, opera, dance, painting, and so on. For these things. Egil, however, had no research at all - he had no help from the memories of his previous life, even though he was a crippled dancer and smashing the keyboard. Listen to Lilianu talk about how various instruments are played. Various methods of writing poetry, the latest popular tragic scripts, painting techniques, famous paintings, antiques, etc. Egil except for uh-huh, oh-oh, ah...... That's right. Outside of that, there's nothing else to say at all.
Of course, such appearances did not affect Egil's image in Lilianu's mind. It didn't make Lilianu unhappy or disappointed. If there is any negative emotion, it is that Lilianu gloated a little: "It turns out that the great and incomparable Majesty Egil is also a little bad at it." I thought you could do anything. ”
Lilianu's gloating and snickering look naturally couldn't escape Egil's eyes. Slightly annoyed, Egil said, "Art, well, music, well—history can increase knowledge, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and absorb the wisdom of those who came before you." Human geography, which can also be used in marching and fighting, is a very important knowledge. Philosophy, on the other hand, can enhance people's logic, judgment, and exercise their way of thinking.
The rest of the political, economic, military, and diplomatic aspects are important knowledge that a king, a ruler needs—however, to learn painting, or music, opera, and dance. What kind of help does it help with a war, a struggle for hegemony, or governing a country - no, not at all. These so-called knowledge and skills can indeed provide very good entertainment and cultivate people's temperament in their leisure time. But that's all. The monarch of a country, the ruler has a limited time, and it is impossible to cover everything. So you should decisively abandon some things and focus on the more important aspects. That's what I did. However, Your Highness Princess, it seems that you are not doing well enough. ”
Egir's words directly denounced the knowledge that Lilianu was proud of as useless. And to say that his shortcomings are disdainful. Much to Lilianu's anger. Although I also felt that what Egil said made sense, I was not convinced.
"Your argument seems to be missing a skill. That is, speech and eloquence—what comes into your mouth Egir, and what doesn't make sense becomes reasonable. Lilianu said dissatisfied. It provoked a smug laugh from Egil - and a few curious Roman soldiers - and of course, the ones fled in confusion at the onslaught of Lilianu.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has a good means, a glance can make the elite of a hundred battles flee in embarrassment. I admire it very much. Egil also took the opportunity to mock Lilianu. ...,
As soon as Lilianu pouted, she pretended to be angry, and made Egil say two more good words before she turned around and smiled. After a night, with a little bit of purpose. But after a pretty good conversation overall, the two sides are completely friends. Each other expressed great satisfaction with each other. Especially Lilianu. I have never seen such a special man as Egil since I was a child. For a while, I felt like a fish in water. Egil's erudition, quick thinking, and incisive insight all made Lilianu feel that it was too late to meet. I just want to hold Egil's hand and talk for three days and three nights.
However, the guards who had just appeared reminded themselves that this was no longer a suitable place to talk—most of them had come for a change of guard—and when they looked at the sky, it was already dimly starting to glow. Egil pulled out his pocket watch and looked at it. It's already four o'clock in the morning -- a great strategic success to stall for time -- no, it should be said, some success has gone too far. Now the headache is how to explain to Artoria when he goes back - Egil and Lilianu have been talking all night outside.
"Time flies. Lilianu didn't care much about this, but after a while, she was a little tired after not resting: "Alright, we'll go back first—I'll send someone to invite you over in the afternoon." I'll play the piano for you. Don't say anything about music that doesn't work. Enjoy it. ”
With that, Lilianu walked away. Leaving Egil alone, he was a little stunned.
"Bastard! Labor and management don't know the way!"
In the early morning, Egil's voice traveled far away...... (To be continued). )
