Chapter 101: The Invisible Wonder (6K)
It can be seen from the replay of this frame that it was after liberating the power of the transcendent bloodline in her body that Mary's breathing changed somewhat.
The culprit was an unknown element released by unconscious instinct that she probably hadn't even discovered herself.
This factor spilled out through Margaret's breath in a way that even Ludwig could not have noticed.
If it weren't for Ludwig's ability to record and play back with absolute temporal sense, I'm afraid no one would have been able to detect this miraculous change.
"There is no trace of any time warp......"
"This taste ......"
Ludwig shrugged his nose, trying to smell the near-unobservable mystery in the air.
Through the pre-battle time records with Mary, Ludwig analyzed the gap and locked down the characteristics of this factor.
It was a faint, slightly wisteria scent, mixed with a certain fragrant body note that was completely alien to Ludwig.
Absolute Sense of Time is the best tool to help Ludwig analyze and document the world, but that doesn't mean he can really control everything.
From the beginning to the end, Ludwig mastered the "rhythm" based on an absolute sense of time, that is, the ability to grasp the speed of time.
His body is still flesh and blood.
Hungry, want to eat.
When you smell a nice scent, you will be in a good mood.
When there is some kind of hazy good feeling, it will also be heartbeat.
The transcendent bloodline, at least the transcendent bloodline of the human beings in this world is still based on human beings, and it is not something that jumps out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements.
"A good smell."
"Mary, it's so fragrant, it's so soft."
Recalling the feeling of hugging Her Majesty the Holy Roman Empire, Ludwig could not deny even if he analyzed the reasons for this favor in the first place.
I seem to really like Anna's aunt.
To like is to like.
Although it was not love at first sight because of the peerless appearance of Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, as Bonaparte did with the Grand Dukes.
What moved Ludwig was the moment when Margaret surpassed her own limits, and her whole body was like a budding flower in spring, showing her vitality to the fullest.
The kind of girlish fragrance with a little wisteria flower seems to have some kind of magical charm.
Even with his eyes closed, Ludwig could smell Margaret from thousands of people at once.
So, where does this fragrance come from?
Ludwig curiously approached Her Majesty the sleeping Holy Roman Empire, and sure enough, the fragrance became a little stronger.
It seems that Ludwig is guiding him in this way, gently knocking on his heart that does not yet know what love is.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
There was silence, and in the room where the two were alone, Ludwig's heartbeat became exceptionally clear and powerful.
…………
Her Majesty Empress Margaret, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, had a dream.
In her dream, she was clutching the Roman Twin Shortsword in her hand, facing an indescribable behemoth.
The behemoth, with its nimble tail and vivid eyes, was staring at her from a distant dimension.
Compared to this behemoth, Her Majesty the Empress in a dress could not even reach the tip of one of its claws.
The golden tail slowly swayed, and the behemoth was getting closer and closer to Margaret.
"Don't come here!"
"I said you don't want to come!"
Margaret's whole body is hot, and there seems to be some kind of wild power awakening in her body, wanting to break the confinement of this world and make her voice heard about this world.
It's close!
It's getting closer!
In those vertical pupils, an infinite variety of colors emerged.
Wait, such a pupil, and what is reflected in this pupil?
Margaret had a creepy feeling.
A similar dream, which she had experienced three months earlier, on Anastasia's fifteenth birthday, was a dream in which she was so conscious that everything seemed to be there.
In her dream, she met a mysterious white-haired girl with two ponytails.
"Anastasia ......"
"World ......"
At that time, she seemed to know the truth of some world from the white-haired two-ponytail girl, and the truth that her worldview was completely subverted.
But when I woke up, everything was blurred, except for the name of "Anastasia", a little niece, and a premonition that "the world was about to change dramatically."
Even the face of the white-haired girl with two ponytails couldn't remember.
Now, she had the same lucid dream as she had that time.
And this time, she seems to have peeked into more of the truth of the world.
Especially in the past 100 years, the changes in the world are like opening the acceleration gears, which are fleeting.
A full hundred years, the time of several generations of human beings, is completely a picture scroll that has been accelerated and rotated, and it has fast-forwarded to the past in the form of a broadcast.
False time, false world, this hundred years is actually ...... None existed.
The long river of time has been accelerated here, or the entire sunny calendar for a hundred years is just a picture of processing from a certain period of time.
"No, it can't be!"
"The power to speed up time, even a god can't do it!"
"Why, why are you laughing at me?"
"When man thinks, God laughs, is this mocking our weakness?"
Margaret clenched the Roman twin daggers in her hand, showing the pride and dignity of Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.
"Why, you're showing me this?"
"What the hell are you, and why are you leaving traces in this world where you came."
"Answer me, O ancestor of the great Rome, the ...... of gold"
Margaret said the name, the name that was remembered by the original "Caesar Octavius Julius Augustus Constantine" until his death.
The former Orion boy in the mountains, after seeing that beautiful dreamy creature, fell in love at first sight, and he could never fall in love with a human again in his life.
The reason why he married a wife and had children, spread his divine blood and blood, and founded the great Roman Empire was only to prove one thing.
It, or He, came into the world.
The blood of the Roman gods is the proof of the existence of God.
“…………”
From the mist on the other side, there was an inaudible laughter, or perhaps it was so far away that Margaret's perception could only hear a small laughter.
Body, so hot!
Something's coming out of my body!
The fog lifted, and the world was left alone with Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.
She gasped for breath, sweating all over, and was suppressed by the huge pressure to the point that she was half-kneeling on the ground.
It is not something that human beings can look at, it is a power beyond this world, and it is a "god" as the ancient Roman Emperor said.
With every breath, you can feel a steady stream of power coming out of your veins.
With every heartbeat, you can hear the sound of nerves and blood cheering together.
What is changing, is being generated.
It's out!
It's coming out!
Finally "snorted", whether it was Margaret in the real world or Margaret in this dream world, they all felt the transformation that was reborn.
…………
"Hey, the smell is getting stronger?"
Since childhood, Ludwig's hobbies have been ordinary.
Swordsmanship under the control of absolute timing.
Painting, fishing, raising flowers and plants.
So much so that his father John felt that his adopted son was too lacking in the temperament that young people should have?
Thinking back to his age, he had already had many secret trysts with Betty, and if it weren't for Betty's genetic disease, maybe he would have had illegitimate children.
Why did Ludwig grow up from a young age, either fishing or painting, raising flowers and grass, and living a fifty-eight life at the age of eighteen!
Apparently, John was mistaken.
Ludwig also had moments of rapid heartbeat, as if he were now watching the changes in Marguerite.
Aside from occasionally reaching out to test the temperature of her forehead, Ludwig couldn't be more gentlemanly.
I just went to the doctor and didn't do anything else.
It's not surprising at all, is it, Anna.
It is not surprising that Margaret has recorded all of Margaret's footage so far using an absolute sense of time, and analyzing it frame by frame.
This is the basis for practicing multi-frame change swordsmanship, and it couldn't be more normal.
"The temperature is beyond the limits of what humans can carry."
"The mysterious factors in the air are gathering in a small area."
"It is not an infinite diffusion, but based on Mary's body, which naturally exhibits the characteristics of a certain realm through breathing."
"Is this a trait of Mary's otherworldly bloodline?"
"Will other people like this fragrance too?"
Ludwig smelled the smell of Margaret and couldn't help but indulge in it.
At this moment, in Ludwig's eyes, Her Majesty Margaret, the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, is the only flower in the world.
Incomparably beautiful, with flowers with a fragrance like no other in the world, a miracle of life.
Beautiful and powerful, with unlimited potential.
"Whew!"
The moment the inaudible sound appeared, Ludwig's ears stood up in an instant.
There's movement!
He stared intently at the sheet that covered Margaret, and at this moment a hole appeared under the sheet, between the legs of Her Majesty the Holy Roman Empire.
Playback, investigating frames, what's going on?
With his gift for absolute timing, Ludwig reproduced what had just happened.
There was no warning at all, there was nothing at all, but the sheets were torn like that.
No, it's definitely not that there isn't anything, it's that you can't see it with the naked eye.
The thing that ripped open the sheets and Margaret's dress, emerged from Margaret's body.
"What is this?"
Ludwig stared at the hidden unknown, his face full of vigilance.
Next, his nose took an uncontrollable breath and smelled a wonderful fragrance ten times stronger than before.
Hey, did this incomparably rich fragrance gradually spread from this location?
It is the taste of Margaret, a unique fragrance that belongs to her.
"Hmmm......"
The sleeping Margaret also seemed to be experiencing something troublesome, and her breathing became intermittent, as if some kind of stress response was being generated within her body.
Silently, Ludwig's hand suddenly tightened.
Attack?
If he hadn't met Anna and Margaret before encountering such an alien attack, Ludwig would have slashed it with a backhand.
And now, he hesitated for a moment, and then realized that the invisible thing did not seem to have any ill will towards him.
Hairy?
And it's a little soft?
What the hell is this?
Ludwig looked at his wrist, which, like the supposedly valuable invisibility suit Anna used, was a mysterious object that he couldn't accurately observe with his absolute sense of time.
Could it be that the extraordinary bloodline of Anna's family is very good at stealth?
The real mystery of this world is not taught in books and textbooks.
In her sleep, Margaret's whole body trembled, as if she also felt something, her hands tightened the sheets, and large beads of sweat continued to fall on her forehead.
Parse, parse!
Ludwig's pupils showed some unknown pattern, which was the decisive evidence that Her Majesty the Holy Roman Empress believed that he was the fourth Roman godblood.
Depict the appearance of this invisible thing.
Is that...... Tail?
Based on the touch of his wrist, the size of the hole in Mary's sheets, and the marks that had appeared in the air, Ludwig came up with an unbelievable answer.
Wrapped around his wrist at the moment was a furry tail with the characteristic scent of Margaret.
Rather, this is Margaret's tail.
Uh, does the Otherworldly Bloodline cause tails to grow?
Referring to the world's only record of the transcendent bloodline of Roman royalty recorded in the history books, and the legendary princess Anastasia, who had both golden cat ears and a cat tail, Ludwig found that this seemed to be the answer.
The Transcendent Bloodline Body does have a probability of some unusual changes.
But Ludwig was sure that Mary, who had just been at war with him, didn't have such a thing.
It was only from the beginning of the gradual emanation of that nice scent from her body that the changes gradually appeared, and finally the tail grew.
It can be seen that this tail is not wary of Ludwig, but rather very curious and actively entangles it, as if to express his kindness.
Ludwig couldn't help but lean close to his wrist and sniff it.
"Ahh
This fragrance, this immersion, this sense of security that you won't get tired of inhaling for a whole year, is so healing1
Now, Ludwig can understand why some people can't help but suck cats and dogs.
The smell on Margaret's tail was so special, and the instinct from his body told him that sucking it was good for his body.
I just took a sip of Mary's tail, or did it wrap around it.
It's not strange at all, it's not a breach of convention, is it, Anna!
…………
By this time, Anastasia had returned to the royal palace in Vienna.
"That guy is a decent gentleman, and he won't do anything strange to his aunt."
"Hey, it's all my fault that my aunt is sick."
"Although he said that nothing would happen, it was just that the power of the transcendent bloodline had exploded excessively and was overdrawn, but if the fever can go away as soon as possible, it is better to get rid of the fever as soon as possible."
"Gotta find the best fever reducer!"
Removing the invisibility of the golden cat suit, Anastasia appeared in her familiar court.
At this moment, many officials in the palace have not yet noticed that Princess Anastasia has returned, and she is anxiously giving orders one by one.
"Haven't you found any trace of Her Majesty the Empress and Princess Anastasia!"
"Check, check it for me, you can't let go of every underground passage!"
"The troops of the Archduke of France, the Archduke of the Netherlands, and the Archduke of Germany have surrounded Vienna on three sides, claiming that this is a tactical exercise."
"Absolutely block the news, don't let anyone know the truth!"
"Rome can't live without Her Majesty Margaret, and if something happens to Duke Anastasia, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"In this search, no one has immunity, not even the embassies of the Eastern Roman Empire have to be searched!"
It can be seen that the disappearance of Her Majesty the Empress and Princess Anastasia has made these people not sleep all night, and everyone is resisting with blood-colored eyes and dark circles.
Until, finally, an attendant inadvertently turned his head and found Princess Anastasia who had lifted her stealth and stopped talking.
"Ahh
The attendant let out a terrible cry, and the whole person fainted, foaming at the mouth.
You can't imagine how the throat of a human male can make such a sound, like the roar of a dying beast, full of fiery emotion.
All the chamberlains of the court, as well as several dukes of the Holy Roman Empire who had gathered here, were stunned, and then they all saw Princess Anastasia.
"That...... I'm back meow. ”
Anastasia weakly raised her hand, and then detonated the entire Viennese court.
"Ann...... Quiet...... Princess Anastasia! ”
More than one attendant fainted, forcing the guards outside to rush over on stretchers.
"Little Anna, you're finally back!"
"Her Majesty, isn't she with you?"
"Her Majesty Empress Margaret, is it difficult to ......"
Several dukes of the Holy Roman Empire trembled around Anastasia, their eyes full of unease.
"That, aunt, she's a little ......"
Anastasia was in a hurry, finally knowing how much trouble she was in.
Originally, she should have returned to the Vienna court in the afternoon after going out to fight in the jungle yesterday, who would have thought that so many things would happen after meeting Ludwig!
As a result, my aunt is still ill, and she has a premonition that if she speaks about it, she may cause an earthquake throughout the Holy Roman Empire.
The problem was that even before she could say anything, several of the older Holy Roman Empire dukes smelled ominous in her hesitant eyes.
"Your Majesty Margaret, she ...... Is it inconvenient to come forward? ”
"Or, for some unspeakable reason, it has to be hidden?"
"On the side of the Eastern Roman Empire, is it ......?"
I have to say that the dukes who can become the important ministers of Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire and the lord of a country are all human spirits, and they are also deeply trusted by Margaret.
Anastasia's state at the moment confirmed some bad conjectures in their hearts.
On the contrary, Anastasia herself was far from realizing the gravity of the situation.
She really underestimated that a person who had been in charge of the Holy Roman Empire for a hundred years had long since become the importance of Her Majesty the Empress in the eyes of many grand dukes.
"No, it's not the problem of the Eastern Roman Empire."
"Auntie, she's sick and has a fever, I'll get some fever medicine."
No matter how talented she was, Anastasia was only fifteen years old now, and she couldn't have predicted how much panic she would make the Grand Dukes of the Holy Roman Empire panic when she said the news that "Her Majesty the Empress of the Divine Blood is sick".
In everyone's impression, there is no such thing as illness in the blood blood of the Roman gods, or that there is only one disease in the blood blood of the Roman gods except for being killed by weapons, "dying of old age".
"How come, Her Majesty Margaret is only over one hundred and thirty years old!"
"Fever, fever...... The last days of the divine blood bloodline also have more than ten years, which is not impossible. ”
"Quick, quick, gather the Holy Roman Empire's Grand Duke, oh my!"
Anastasia's leak of the news, everything can be explained.
Her Majesty Margaret, the great Holy Roman Empire, began to enter a period of decline, and did not want people to see that she was no longer beautiful.
This is not without precedent, as have several empresses and majesties in the history of the ancient Roman Empire, as did the "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine" of the seventh and eighth generations.
They have maintained their beautiful faces all their lives, but after finding that they have entered the aging period, they decisively abdicated, and almost no one has seen them again until the funeral.
They don't want their important ministers to see their ugly appearance when they are old, and would rather hide from the world and die in obscurity.
Men don't care so much about this, and when they get old, they get old.
For the Holy Roman Empire, Her Majesty's abdication may suddenly be ten or twenty years earlier, and many plans will be completely overturned.
In terms of inheritance, Her Majesty Margaret had already chosen Anastasia as the first heir to the Holy Roman Empire, and wrote a will in advance.
The problem is that it is a future plan based on the premise that Her Majesty Margaret will be at the helm for more than a decade, if not decades.
Her Majesty Margaret's lifespan is not only a problem for herself, but also for the entire Holy Roman Empire!
"So, I said my aunt just had a fever."
"I'm going to bring her antipyretics when I come back, find me the best antipyretics."
Looking at the messed up of the Viennese court, Anastasia frowned, wondering if they were too panicked.
Ludwig, but a decent gentleman who can't lie.
"Okay, okay, woman...... Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
At this moment, Princess Anastasia already has a little bit of the future Empress of the Holy Roman Empire in the eyes of the Grand Dukes.
She gave the order, and soon the whole of Vienna was busy.
