What if Ivus didn't do anything?

All the ministers, knights, officers, and those loyal to the queen will all die in a year's time. The rest will be killed or injured in chaos and infighting. Eventually, when Isabel returned, the last part was put in prison or executed.

The population will experience four major wars over the next three years.

And the nationwide food starvation caused by the arrival of the Shadow Nation will lead to famine and great chaos...... The famine will then spread to neighboring countries.

And after the advent of the Fallen Heavens, there will be six civil wars within the Star Antimony. The largest one split directly into six pieces on the spot, and eventually turned back into three. Star Antimony and Avalon alone will shrink to less than a third of the population in three years.

Just looking at the glass island, it may not feel like it has much impact. The glass islands of 1.0 and 4.0 are just a little less crowded. However, the rural areas have almost become ghost towns, and there are only a few households in a village, and the number is decreasing. Civilized areas continue to retreat, townships gather to towns, towns gather back to the city, and a large amount of land is reduced to ruins.

The newborn Camelot feels hopeful, but his talent is so small that even ministers can't fill their posts. There are only about thirty people in the council, and more than half of them are not Avalons, but elves who participated in the Shadow Celestial Division's crusade.

And the Star Antimony is even more powerful. They were originally in the infighting, but after being controlled by the Fallen Heaven Division for a short time, the rest of the people simply stopped pretending. Various armed warlords separat...... Advanced technology, weapons, and spells are all used to fight against one's own people.

In some places, several towns in a row have been transformed into undead, and some towns have been bombed into ruins. Some places are entangled in curses and turned into inaccessible ghost towns.

Counting these two countries alone, that's at least tens of millions of lives. Just thinking about this number made Eivus's heart feel heavy.

- Do you want to stand by and exchange these people for a "hope"?

Are you kidding.

Just thinking about it made Ivus angry.

It's not righteous indignation based on a sense of morality, but anger at the weakness of one's own subconscious fear—

Am I afraid? Even though I have a system in me and know the future, I am still scared to the point of "why don't you just forget it"?

- How is that possible.

- Unforgivable.

It's incredibly difficult to change all that. If you can't just tear it down and start over, and build the decaying Avalon into Camelot, it will be difficult for Ivus to just take a step forward.

If the Fallen Heaven Division is not allowed to slaughter the royal family, command indiscriminately, and attack the Star Antimony people in all directions to attack all the surrounding countries, the Star Antimony without division will also be a formidable enemy to fight against.

But even so, can he let it all happen?

- Listen to it, let it be. Wait for the plot to happen as you know, and then break into it at each key node, spending the least effort to get the most benefits.

Profit from disaster, gather hearts and minds in despair, and become a hero – and no one knows that you could have changed that and it didn't happen in the first place.

Yes, the main characters in this do it. There are no risks, just benefits. Because these disasters have nothing to do with the "protagonist" in the first place, so why can't I profit from them? And if one of these points is changed, the ripple effect in the future can lead to the loss of the prophet's advantage.

Keep everything under control. Future-proofing is manageable. Guarantee your superior position as if you were omniscient.

…… Ivas didn't know if it was a mistake or not.

But he always felt as if there was a fire in his heart.

After he changed history and saved Yulia, the fire burned. He had thought that the name of that fire was ambition...... But now he thinks that maybe it is "pride".

- Even if it changes all this, even if it does not depend on prophetic power. He's just as good.

In that case, why didn't he change from the beginning?

So that Avalon will never be the Camelot who has nothing but hope. Let the Fallen Celestial Division not start a world war on all sides...... Let the civilians who are powerless to decide their own future live as much as possible.

At least to live more than he foresees in the future. So that his presence is meaningful......

"—don't overthink it."

The Great Guardian suddenly reached out and placed his hand on top of Ivus's head, whispering.

Ivus was slightly startled and looked up at the Great Guardian.

He didn't look down at Ewas. Just bowed his head slightly, staring at the floor. At the same time, he said calmly: "Don't stress too much - as long as we are not dead, it will not be your turn to worry about all this."

"You are the future of Avalon, but only the future. The present affairs are handled by the people of the present. ”

His voice is calm and mellow, giving people a sense of down-to-earth security.

And the old queen only smiled softly: "Yes, little Ewas...... Your wheelchair is about to be knocked through by you. ”

Ivus unconsciously and quickly tapped the wheelchair's right hand, and the three fingers suddenly stopped.

- I'm going to have to find a way to change this habit.

Every time Ivas fell into deep thought or anxiety, his right hand couldn't help but want to move something. This is a habit left over from playing games when he was a child - when he was nervous, he would unconsciously tap the mouse and perform some meaningless invalid operations.

For example, constantly cutting the screen, such as shaking back and forth in place, such as repeatedly opening the camera.

In the words of Ivus's roommate, he is "a bit of a cheaper".

"I don't know what you're worried about," the Great Guardian said calmly, "but I don't think Her Majesty has chosen to tell you this, not to ask for your help. Even if you do want to do something, you can tell us. ”

"Daddy is very strong!"

David on the side said with great certainty.

"We are different today than we were 400 years ago. We're not strong...... It can even be called weak. ”

Queen Sophia only smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's a good thing to realize this matter earlier." The older generation of knights grew up listening to the stories of the Knights of the Round Table and developed a habit of pride. Even though he later focused on fighting for power and money, he still had the pride of being a knight in his heart.

"But they don't understand Avalon at all. Or maybe they don't want to understand.

"But whether it's you or Sherlock, the young people of your generation are different. Avalon will have to be handed over to you after all......"

Speaking of which, the old lady who was lying in bed because of fatigue, but still gave people a sense of vitality, showed a sly smile: "I think Sherlock must still be alive, right?" ”

"Yes."

Ivus replied, "This is the plan we discussed, to fish out those people by faking their deaths...... Whether it's him or me, it's all the way around. ”

"You know what? I was horrified. ”

Her Majesty snorted regardless of her image: "I think, it's broken...... According to Sherlock's personality, he can do such a thing - put himself in danger for the sake of investigation, or be retaliated against. It was because he was indeed at risk of retaliation and assassination that I once thought his death was real. ”

"And then, how did you guess that he was faking his death?"

Ivus asked, confused.

Queen Sophia laughed, "No, I'm not that smart...... That's what Janis told me. She said to me, 'Don't be in a hurry to get sad, things might turn around.'" I understood what she meant. ”

Janis?

Ivas was stunned for a moment, then reacted - she must have seen Sherlock and herself in the bishop's house through the painting!

What is this camera into the fine ......

But Janis clearly wanted to keep it a secret for Ivus. Otherwise, the queen would have known that she had not been captured by Aleister at all...... Because he went to the Bishop's house on the first day he disappeared, but Her Majesty the Queen and the Grand Guardian apparently knew nothing about it.

"Are you alright, Evas?"

The queen asked kindly, "Next, we are going to talk about some adult things...... Can you hang out with David for a while?

"Oh, yes...... Isabel's baby may have been stimulated. If you have time, why don't you comfort her? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ivas replied.

He was indeed a little worried about Isabel, and was worried about how to mention it to Her Majesty.

From what he knew about Isabel, she wasn't letting go of the pressure of the curse. Instead, try to let yourself forget.

Although the queen is not worried about this at all, knowing that the curse is over...... But Isabel didn't know this. And she really didn't fit to know - if Isabel knew that the curse was because foreigners wanted her to ascend the throne, I'm afraid her psychological pressure would be even greater.

After asking the queen where Isabel was, Ivas took David by the way, and Lily pushed her out of the queen's bedchamber.

The first thing he did when he went out was to take David to a secluded and uninhabited place.

Ivus warned in a low voice, "Don't tell your sister Isabel about curses and rituals...... Be cautious in what you say and do, you know? ”

"I understand. I can't speak, I can't comfort, so I won't say it, Mr. Iwas. ”

David nodded seriously and planned in a low voice: "It's good for you to say it then...... I'll nod my head at whatever you say. ”

- Indeed, you can't be wrong if you don't say it.

Ivus hissed.

Can you understand this without a teacher?

This kid doesn't seem to have exactly the same personality as the Great Guardian......

However, Ivas seemed to have a faint feeling...... David seems to want to match him with Isabel?

After a moment's thought, Ivas understood.

And then he was a little nervous.

- Oh, you mean if I'm with Princess Isabel, Miss Aleister will be able to give you out, right?

This kid doesn't seem to have as little eyes as he seems......

Updated in advance!
