Just when the counterinsurgency forces outside the city were at a loss and even feeling restless after losing contact with the troops in the city, an unexpected good news came from inside the city.

A piece of good news that is so ridiculous that no one will believe it at the first time.

For some unknown reason, the coup/mutiny forces in the city split into two factions and opened fire on each other, resulting in a civil war.

The exchange of fire between the two sides directly destroyed the headquarters of the coup/coup forces. The leaderless coup/coup forces even split from the first two major factions into several smaller factions.

After the generals of the counterinsurgency force came to their senses, they planned to take a gamble, and the whole army pressed the formation and attacked on all fronts.

Sure enough, after a symbolic resistance by the defenders in those defensive systems, they were all captured by the counterinsurgency forces.

Obviously, the fighting that broke out in the inner city had deprived them of their fighting spirit.

The defense system of the inner city was captured, then the rest was simple, according to the map of the Sanctuary City, the counterinsurgency troops were divided into multiple routes, one key node and one key node after another, to steadily quell the rebellion.

Five days later, the counterinsurgency forces surrounded the last headquarters of the coup/mutatat forces, and after hours of fierce fighting, they broke the stubborn resistance of the last remaining rebels, killing the commanders of the last coup/mutatat forces.

The adults of the Apostolic Council were delivered.

Early the next morning, an emergency broadcast was made across the country, informing the whole country and even the whole of Middle-earth that the rebellion in the Sanctuary had been put down, and the Apostolic Council called on all localities to quickly start countering the rebellion and restore peace.

A week later, calm was restored throughout the Holy Kingdom, and the colonies and garrisons of the Holy Kingdom were quickly returned to the control of the Holy Kingdom under the temporary heavy pressure policy promulgated by the Apostolic Council.

The tentacles that stretched out from those foreign countries were also quickly interrupted by the interruption of the warning, the warning of the warning.

Some of the captured coupers and spies were publicly executed as a warning to all ambitious people.

The coup d'état is over, there is no complete end.

After the coup was suppressed, rival forces began to use this incident to attack their own enemies.

Among them, the battle between the Institute of Secret Research and the conquest agency was the most intense.

Kirsten was not surprised that the Expeditionary Agency used the mecha she controlled that day as an excuse to start talking about all the bad intentions of the Esoteric Institute, and then linked the coup/coup to the Esoteric Institute.

She was not surprised that a traitor from the Institute would come forward and confess his guilt.

The only thing she didn't figure out was that the traitor turned out to be Dr. Heigel's second apprentice, Maester Faustus.

Well, in fact, she was not surprised, after all, Bachelor Faustus was a scientific research maniac, and presumably the conquest agency promised him better scientific research conditions.

She sneered inwardly.

"Where's Dr. Heigl?" One of the apostles asked.

"The teacher is unwell, and until he gets better, I will take full authority for him." Kirsten replied as he displayed a copy of his confession.

A few days ago, something happened at the Secret Research Institute.

Dr. Heiger's eldest apprentice was shot dead, and the experimental Blackwater Reagent 381, which was being tested, was suddenly leaked.

Kirsten had to take someone to deal with these things.

Then, she discovers Dr. Heigl's conspiracy.

It's not a conspiracy, it's just that an ordinary person wants to protect the things he values most after seeing those strange things and make all the efforts he can.

Hoping that someone would shelter Kirsten, he made a deal to channel the sewage to the Institute.

At the time, Dr. Heigl was unaware of the existence of the True Unified Knight.

If he knew, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Kirsten didn't understand it at first, thinking that Dr. Heigl was hiding something from her.

So she tortured Dr. Haigl.

Knowing that he had passed out, he used the truth elixir that was still in the experimental stage to figure out the reason why he did all this.

I also learned that Dr. Heigl had been prepared for an accident of his own.

As a result, Dr. Heiger is now taking over the secret department of the Institute of Secret Research.

"Is there anything else you have to say, Miss Kirsten?"

"Of course, but I'd like to speak privately with the representatives of the Expeditionary Agency. Rest assured, we are not compromising privately, but we do have some secrets to share about the research of the Holy Kingdom. ”

"Why, can't the Apostolic Council know these secrets?"

"I'm not sure if there's anyone involved in the coup/d'état, am I?"

“。。。 Okay, but you only have five minutes. ”

Representatives of the conquest agency descended to a private conference hall.

Kirsten was already sitting in the first place, without the slightest fluster.

"May I ask Miss Kirsten what do you have to communicate?"

"May I ask the representative of the conquest agency, what is this?"

She threw a document over.

The representative of the conquest agency picked it up and flipped through it in confusion.

His face became more and more ugly as the number of pages increased, and finally the representative put down the document and took a deep breath.

"Excuse me... Could it be that the Institute of Secret Research is also studying these things? ”

"Of course, why do you think that a scientific research institution with a history older than your conquest agency would not be involved in the study of these things?"

"yes, so what do you want to say?"

"You don't want the apostles to know about these things, do you?"

“。。。 Yes. ”

"Then take back your accusations, we will not pursue everything you have done. Of course, we don't fight for the generals of the Eastern Crusade. ”

"Okay." said the representative of the conquest agency.

Both returned to the conference hall five minutes later.

It's like some people who watch a play expect but don't want to see the outcome.

The two did reach a settlement, and the accusation became a farce.

But on the surface there was a fight.

But anyone can see that the conquest agency is just doing something perfunctory. ，

。

When I woke up, Kirsten was peeling apples.

It's really not because I'm dead and I'm going to hell?

"Don't worry, you're still alive, eat this apple."

Kirsten said as he handed me the peeled apple.

I nibbled on a few bites of the apple and realized it was all true.

"Well, how long have I been asleep?" I asked.

"Three weeks." Kirsten replied.

"Three... Three! Three weeks! You're not going to lie to me, are you? ”

"Of course, what am I lying to you for?"

I quickly touched my face, and sure enough, I lost weight, but why didn't I feel hungry at all?

"So, what's going on? Generally, no matter how unconscious you are, you won't be in a coma for so long, right? I don't think I was seriously hurt. ”

"You almost activated the family bloodline, I asked someone to help you block it, the sequelae is that you have been in a coma for so long, plus a part of the activated bloodline needs to be metabolized in your body, so you won't feel hungry." Kirsten explained.

I see.

"That, rebellion or something, it's over?"

"It's over."

"The Knights of Unification..."

"There have been heavy casualties and we are rebuilding."

Although I had expected such a result for a long time, I was still a little melancholy.

"By the way, what about them?"

"That... The situation is a bit special, so let's take a look for yourself after you are discharged from the hospital. ”

Kirsten's eyes were a little strange, which made me a little curious.

"Okay?"

"Well, then you should rest more, you shed a lot of blood that day."

。

As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I got on the steam locomotive arranged by Kirsten and rushed back to the Deland Mansion.

Due to its proximity to the Cathedral of Cecilia, it is also one of the war zones, and it has suffered some damage, and now workers are working on repairs outside.

Maintenance fees or something, we shouldn't need to pay for it, right?

When I walked into the house, I saw only Clevisia and Reinhardt cleaning the room, not the butler.

"Where's Eschewur?" I asked.

"Well, Lord Aishuur is in the bedroom." Clevisia replied.

I don't know why she added the word adult, but I didn't pay attention to it because I was in a hurry.

"What, Aishuur is hurt?"

"No, no. It's just, well, how to say, the situation is a bit special, Kimchi you better go and see it for yourself. Clevisia said.

I nodded, and immediately went upstairs, to the bedroom, and opened the door.

I saw the figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

A ten-year-old white-haired girl was sitting in a chair reading a book.

It was a storybook that I had begged the butler to buy.

A science fiction novel about the future of human exploration of the universe.

It was a best-selling book of its time.

She looked up at me, her eyes as clear as holy water in its purest form. There is no shadow of a housekeeper at all.

"Brother, you're back! Veroya misses you! ”

Well, I should have known that the world is not as simple as it seems.

"Well, I'm back."

。

Ludwig did not learn anything about the monsters reported by his troops from the classified documents of the Apostolic Council.

This made him think that his soldiers had mistaken it, until he came to the jungle himself and saw some remaining remains.

The fragments of limbs, which had not dissipated because they had been fixed by the remnants of the alchemy matrix, let Ludwig know that this was true.

So what kind of thing did even the Apostolic Council know?

No, what kind of existence is it that hides the information of these things and keeps them unknown to the Apostolic Council?

Or was the Apostolic Council really just a front desk?

Or is it ...

The chaos of thoughts and the random conjectures that kept popping up made Ludwig feel confused for the first time.

Even after Hecehijah was rescued, he did not visit him immediately.

Even the emergency meetings of the Apostolic Council were attended by their own cronies.

Finally, he couldn't stand it all and went to ask his sister about the truth about it all.

In his subconscious, his sister is still so omniscient.

And that's exactly what happened.

His sister lent him a document.

As the heir of the family, His Highness the Spirit Throne of the Cult, she knew more than Ludwig.

So, he finally learned about the shadow of the world.

Those weird things, those alchemists.
