"Of course not," Roland nodded her forehead affectionately, "and the idea is also very similar to your style. ."
"Then why are you happy for Edith's words?" Anna asked in confusion.
"I'm glad it's not the picture she speculated because history itself is full of various possibilities," Roland laughed. "It's hard to see the past clearly, let alone predict the future. For example, there may be a third The second battle of divine will passed smoothly, but the fourth war of divine will collapsed after hundreds of years, or the enemy hidden in the seabed was far beyond imagination, and people on land could only be divided, surrounded and destroyed... At that time, let alone the kingdom Immortal, even the continuation of humanity is a problem."
"Well... this guess is indeed like your style." Anna imitated his tone and said, "Then why are you happy?"
"Her perspective," Roland spread out his hand, "When she said that, Edith had already changed from a noble official to a state official."
"State... officials?" Anna repeated this somewhat awkward word.
"That's right, the position she is standing on is no longer the northern region, but regards Greycastle as a whole. It is very rare for people of this era to think about policies by speculating on the direction of the whole kingdom. You must know that even Barov did not do it, in the mind of the city hall chief, he has always measured gains and losses from the perspective of Neverwinter."
This was a dramatic change. From the very beginning, Edith Kant still regarded herself as a member of the nobles of the Northland. Her words, deeds, and advice not only helped the superiors, but also sought benefits for the Northland. This is the most common consciousness of the fief aristocrats. Only the land where the family stays is the only place for individuals to return. Even if their allegiance is to the king, the interests of the territory are above the king's orders.
"There is another point, which is her opinion of witches." Roland continued, "Being able to understand witches can bring a technological leap forward and pull their abilities into development strategies. From this point of view, she is ahead of the Most people."
Doing it on the surface is completely different from knowing why. Although he has proposed in the textbook that technology is the primary productive force, and witches are the best catalyst for technology, most city hall officials do not understand. The point of treating witches favorably is that they do so only on the orders of His Majesty the King. The people also don't understand that they are getting along well with the witches because some witches have brought convenience to their lives, that's all. This coexistence relationship is fragile like a layer of bubbles, and when there is a major conflict or setback, the situation on both sides is very easy to reverse. Only when the idea that witches are indispensable is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can this problem be fundamentally solved.
It can be said that this is more satisfying to Roland than the former. After all, with the acceleration of centralization and the disappearance of fiefdom differences, more and more officials will accept the view of one country, one rule, but to make them understand the essence of witches' abilities, then I'm afraid it will take a long time.
Of course, Edith is not without shortcomings. Although her vision surpasses most people, she has not surpassed the times. What she envisions in her heart is still an eternal and immortal Kingdom of Greycastle.
However, considering that she is now about the same age as Nightingale, it is not surprising to have such thoughts. Roland is looking forward to what kind of consul she will become under his guidance in twenty or thirty years.
After roughly explaining, Anna tilted her head and said, "Since the future is unpredictable, and you don't think about Greycastle after your death, if we can survive the Battle of Divine Will, what do you want to do?"
"You already knew that, didn't you?" Roland stared into her rippling eyes.
Similar topics have been mentioned more than once in the night when the two embraced and slept, crossing the fertile plain, going to the Dawn Realm, and even the devil's territory; crossing the sea line, so that the footprints of human beings are all over the sea; revealing the gods The veil, insight into the truth of this world. To this end, he will use all available resources, not only the Kingdom of Greycastle, as long as everyone living on this continent will contribute their own strength to this exploration. And any stubborn person who tries to stop him will be his enemy.
"Remember to bring me," Anna grinned. "I don't want to miss a sight like that."
"Well, I will definitely go with you to the end of the world." Roland kissed her lips.
*****************
Neverwinter, the third frontier city.
Tilly stood in front of the magic core, watching every change in it. The surging magic power is like blue sea water, causing the outer skeleton to expand and contract rhythmically, as if breathing. A yellow ball of light flashed in the center of the pyramid, like a gem washed by waves, and it also attracted all her attention.
As long as the light ball is still on, it means that the multicolored magic stone is still intact.
If you are tired, it is better to take a rest. Pasha's words suddenly sounded in my mind, and at the same time there was a rubbing noise behind me. If there is news here, I will notify you as soon as possible.
Tilly turned around and saw a huge sarcoid hanging down from the top of her head. Although the transformed high-level witches all look the same, after getting along with each other these days, she found that she could vaguely tell the difference between them.
"I'm not tired, it's only been five days..." She couldn't help yawning as she spoke, "... just a little sleepy."
When I was still conscious, there was no difference between being sleepy and tired. Pasha wiggled her tentacles. Don't worry, the magic stone is not broken, which means that the witches are still safe. If they encounter the devil, they will definitely crush the stone.
Tilly also understood this truth, but she couldn't rest assured. She knew that they went together at that time, she thought with some annoyance, but she never thought that she would be persuaded by the idiot Ashes.
In theory, this trip won't be too dangerous. The selected witches are the best who have fought against the church. The way of infiltrating is similar to that of the fjord church. Lotus is responsible for creating a subsidence hole in the ground, and then using the trajectory Expand the passage for short distance travel, so that everyone can go back and forth between the two voids in an instant. For the enemy, even if they find something unusual in the ground, they can only see a closed cave when they dig the soil.
The key lies in the last step. In order to allow the phantom instrument to gain a wider field of vision, the position of crushing the magic stone should be as high as possible. Tilly originally planned to bring the flying magic stone to complete the positioning, but in the end, Ashes snatched it. Task.
If you act at night, the chances of being discovered by the devil are very small, and the several drills before departure were also very successful, but Ashes still used the reason that the leader should not take personal risk to dissuade her. As a result, she can only stay in front of the magic core. Worried, but couldn't do anything.
