Sherlock Holmes understood.

What worries the party leader is not the Aztecs on the surface, but the 'spies' who may be hidden within the human race.

These spies have been integrated into society for tens of thousands of years, and their life and behavior are no different from ordinary people, and they have even achieved intermarriage

Thinking of this, Holmes wondered, "What would happen if the Aztecs intermarried with us?" Is there reproductive isolation? ”

The party leader immediately said: "There is no reproductive isolation, and the children born can absorb the spirituality of the Creator and also receive the power of the outer gods. ”

"Then how do you investigate the identity of the other party?"

"That's the hardest part." The party leader lit another cigarette and said worriedly: "A child born of intermarriage can receive the power of the outer god and the creator at the same time, but the power of the outer god and the power of the creator cannot exist in a person at the same time. ”

"In other words, spies who have received the power of the outer gods cannot believe in the church?"

"That's right, but this doesn't work for the Doomsday Party, whose members don't believe in the church in the first place, and it's simply the best place for outsiders to spies."

The party leader said: "Whether on the surface or secretly, the Doomsday Party is no longer the Doomsday Party of the past, and as the party leader, I cannot discern the loyalty of my subordinates, so I am not surprised that this disaster has been caused. ”

Sherlock Holmes smoked his pipe silently, his expression was obscure, he didn't trust the party leader yet, everyone met for the first time today, and they only said a few dozen words, why did they trust each other with their hearts and lungs?

Perhaps in the eyes of the party leader, he Holmes can be trusted, after all, Holmes has not targeted the Doomsday Party before, and the possibility that he is a spy of the outer gods is very small.

The opposite was different, and Holmes did not feel that the party leader could be trusted, even if he had given a lot of useful information.

The biggest element of a good detective is that he can't believe any confession, it is all subjective, and the detective should deduce the truth from the confession and clues, rather than listening to bias.

He already knew the statement provided by the party leader.

"I need to go through the historical documents recorded by the Doomsday Party." Sherlock Holmes made a request.

"Yes, tomorrow you ask me, I will agree, and then let Russell take you there."

The night conversation was private, and it was not difficult for him that the party leader could not let others know about his conversation with Sherlock Holmes, and that Holmes could not reveal any clues.

"It looks like the Doomsday Party is about to start a round of purges."

After receiving a reply from Sherlock Holmes, Mavi immediately summoned Kovalev and sent additional men to the Aztec Empire to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of the Doomsday.

Paris, Rome, Berlin and other places have begun to hunt down the Doomsday Party, and according to the content of the treaty, the Truth Church should also take action as soon as possible.

In a sense, this can be regarded as helping Holmes to investigate the inside of the Doomsday Party, only when there is a crisis, internal problems can be revealed, and about the investigation of the outer gods and history, Ma Wei is waiting for the good news of Sherlock Holmes.

Time flashed to the 27th, today is the day of Daniel's wedding, St. Paul's Cathedral laid out the red carpet seats, Ma Wei himself as a witness, read the wedding vows for Daniel.

Although it was not as grand as when Arthur ascended the throne, it was lively enough, and more than half of the nobles and councillors in London came, and even Katerina came from Mosk to bless her, and even acted as the head of the woman's family.

Margaret, dressed in her wedding dress and holding Katerina's arm, rode in a golden carriage to St. Paul's Cathedral, and when she got off the car, a thousand white doves flew into the sky, and the church bells rang twelve times, all of which were courtesies for a king's wedding.

Arthur gave this cousin enough face, which can also be said to be face for Mavi, after all, although Mavi has many students, Daniel is the only one who has always been by his side.

In the Manstein family, Daniel also occupies a place, which can be regarded as a hero who helped Arthur ascend the throne.

After reading the oath, watching Daniel and Margaret ride through the streets in a carriage, Mavi felt a little trance in his heart, as if he could see that he was in a daze, Katerina suddenly asked: "Do you envy them?" ”

“.”

"Actually, you deserve better than this, grander." Katerina said: "Your wedding, which will go down in history, will become an official holiday, and there is not a single believer who does not want you to get married." ”

"I won't get married, Your Majesty."

Ma Wei watched the golden carriage go away, and said in a calm tone: "Yunia doesn't need a mother, I have to make sacrifices for the stability of the church. ”

"That's what you're talking about, and you're finally willing to say it."

"I'm sorry."

"Why apologize? I didn't feel sorry for anyone, and I was even a little glad. ”

"Rejoice?" Ma Wei cast a puzzled look.

Katerina laughed: "Because you can't get married, it's not that you don't want to." ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Then it depends on whether you want a reputation or reality, fortunately, I am a pragmatic woman, and reputation is not important."

His lips moved, and Mavi changed the subject: "Margaret admires you and idolizes you, you know?" ”

"That's how you coaxed me over, don't worry, I'll have a good talk with her."

"Luck? You say a big part of your success comes from luck? ”

In the dead of night, in the warm breeze blowing in the window and the bright light of the room, Margaret, who sat cross-legged next to Katerina, stared wide-eyed, never expecting that her idol would attribute her success to luck.

It is said that Her Majesty Katerina, who rebuilt the Romanov dynasty, is a genius who is rare to see in a thousand years, but this genius seems to have a different evaluation of himself from the world.

"I had four good fortunes in the first half of my life."

Katerina stared at the teacup in front of her and said faintly: "The first luck is that I was born in the Romanov royal family and has the right of orthodox inheritance. ”

"The second luck was that I had a god descent event at the most powerful moment, which gave me the opportunity to fight for the throne."

"The third luck was that I met Dino Pluto, who recommended me to the Church of Truth, and without the help of Father Mavi, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Speaking of this, Katerina paused for a long time before continuing: "The fourth luck is that my younger brother trusted someone he shouldn't trust, and finally chose to commit suicide, his death awakened the fighting spirit of the soldiers, destroyed the cohesion of the nobles, turned the Cult of Wisdom into an unrighteous person, and made more people choose to support the Church of Truth. ”

Margaret put her hands on her cheeks and asked curiously, "Don't you think that success has something to do with your own efforts?" ”

"Choice is always more important than hard work, and luck is always more important than choice." "You don't know what path you're taking, there's a lot of fog ahead, and luck is essential if you want to succeed," Katerina said. ”

Margaret lowered her head in disappointment: "I think it's more important to work hard." ”

Looking at Margaret, Katerina seemed to see herself back then, she used to think that fate was nonsense, success could not rely on luck, only hard work can go to the end.

Later she found out she was wrong.

After looking at herself after success, Katerina found that her success contained a considerable part of luck, although she was the one who chose the Church of Truth, but the appearance of the Church of Truth was indeed her luck!

You know, two years ago Dino returned to the Romanov kingdom, and the first target he chose was not her but Paul I!

If Paul I had chosen the Church of Truth instead of the Cult of Wisdom, would it have been her turn for the king to do it?

If Paul I had not made stupid mistakes, lost the support of the population, and did not even commit suicide

With her nails digging deep into her palms, Katerina seemed to see the decomposing corpse of Paul I, her last blood relative.

If this is the price of success, given the opportunity to choose, how will she choose?

Katerina didn't know, she wasn't sure, she didn't want to think about it, and busyness became the best medicine for her to forget her worries.

Margaret felt that Katerina was different from what she had imagined, and there was still softness under the hard shell.

"What should I do? It can't be all about luck, right? Margaret asked, eager to hear Katerina's opinion.

"Luck is illusory, and that's where effort and choice are important, and it would be the greatest stupidity to attribute everything to luck."

Katerina took a sip of the teacup, as if swallowing all the bitterness: "Your luck is good, it should be said that it is very good, you are not only a princess of Bavaria, but also the wife of Daniel, Daniel will definitely become the king of Frederick's kingdom in the future, and your children will become the next king."

"Success is within your reach, what are you not satisfied with?"

Margaret bit her lip and said, "I want to be like you." ”

"Am I like this?" Katerina blinked: "Do you want to be king?" ”

"No, not the king! It's the ones who hold the power! Margaret said hurriedly: "Daniel said that he wants the Frederick Kingdom to unify the Central Continent, and I want to help him!" ”

Katerina nodded slightly: "It is indeed a very lofty ideal for Frederick Kingdom to unify the Central Continent, do you know Prime Minister Bismarck?" ”

"Yes."

"The political concept he put forward is very good, because the Kingdom of Frederick is located in the center of the continent and is surrounded by enemies, so it is necessary to make friends with the Romanov Kingdom, which has a large amount of land, to prevent it from falling into a situation of being attacked on the back, and then make close friends and close attacks, form an alliance with the Roman Republic, and persuade the Kingdom of Windsor to annex the Rhine Union states, and then attack the Barbarossa Empire and the First Bonaparte Empire."

Katerina spoke eloquently, without hiding at all: "The biggest disadvantage of Frederick's kingdom is resources and access to the sea, landlocked countries have no access to the sea, foreign trade will be affected, and insufficient resources will limit the industrial system, and it is easy to be restricted by other countries, so the First Bonaparte Empire with excellent access to the sea is the first choice." ”

"Annexation and control of Bonaparte's First Empire, the Frederick Kingdom can have the capital to invade foreign countries, and the Frederick Kingdom at this time will definitely arouse the vigilance of other countries, you should appease the Romanov Kingdom, the Windsor Kingdom and the Roman Republic, invite them to divide the Barbarossa Empire together, divide each of them, and then tear up the covenant, attack the army of the Roman Republic with lightning speed, and invade the whole territory."

"After the occupation of the Roman Republic and the partition of the Barbarossa Empire, seventy percent of the land in the Central Continent has fallen into the hands of the Frederick Kingdom, and only the vast and sparsely populated Kingdom of Carlos remains, and it is not appropriate to launch a strong attack against the Kingdom of Carlos to cause international problems"

Margaret was fascinated by this, and suddenly noticed that Katerina had stopped, and hurriedly said, "Go on! ”

"The foreign trade of the Kingdom of Carlos depends on the coastline, the domestic economy and industrial level are average, and it only needs a little trickery to make it fall into a situation of economic crisis, at this time, the Kingdom of Frederick borrows from it, and then uses cheap industrial products to form a trade deficit, it can control its domestic economic lifeline, buy land, companies, buy parliamentarians, and appease the people, and within twenty years, the Kingdom of Carlos exists in name only."

"What if the kingdom of Carlos is wary and doesn't fall into an economic crisis?"

"That's easy, too." Katerina smiled slightly: "As a former colonial power, the Kingdom of Carlos still has a few overseas colonies, as long as it provokes a colonial war and makes them fall into the quagmire of war, they can continue to consume financial resources, and then there will be complaints in the country, and opportunities will appear." ”

Margaret's eyes were bright, and she was very excited about Katerina's proposal: "You are amazing! These are the basic principles for the future development of Frederick's kingdom! ”

"But."

She hugged the pillow and said with some embarrassment, "Aren't you afraid that the Frederick Kingdom will compete with you?" A great king like you, who must also want to expand his territory, tell me these plans, and it won't affect you? ”

"If I were afraid, then I would not be Katerina Romanov."

Katerina brushed the hair from Margaret's sideburns and said softly, "If you can do it, then just come." ”

The reason why the basic policy is a basic policy is that there are still many problems that need to be solved.

For example, when the Kingdom of Frederick invaded the Barbarossa Empire, would the Romanov Kingdom and the Kingdom of Windsor be indifferent?

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely, but the Kingdom of Frederick is still a kingdom vassal of the Apocalypse God System, and if this happens, it is likely that the Truth Church will defeat the Apocalypse God System, and it is difficult to say what will happen at that time.

There is no doubt that Katerina will not watch the Kingdom of Frederick annex the countries of the Central Continent step by step, neither will Arthur, the Kingdom of Romanov and the Kingdom of Windsor have always wanted to set foot in the Central Continent, how could they give up because Daniel is the king?

It is not so easy for the Frederick Kingdom to unify the Central Continent, at least Katerina and Arthur will not let Daniel do it easily, it really comes to that point, but it is not the time to talk about family affection, if it is bigger.

Maybe Ma Wei will have to come forward to mediate!
