Extraordinary pedigree

New Lisbon Island Hub · Strange Objects and Phenomena Research Association/School.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Due to the negligence of Tel Nanan Ogg and the unreasonableness of the guards, they brought a very bad experience to the two of them. The research association and the Silver Hand royal family have already reprimanded the prince and sent him to the hospital. He was locked in the royal confinement room and repented. Here, I once again express my sincere apology to the representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven."

As the chief wizard of the New Liss Island Hub Palace Wizard Association, Midhill had not looked down on others and apologized to others in such a low-key manner for a long time.

Originally, according to the formal diplomatic handover, those who received the representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven yesterday were supposed to be representatives from the Society for the Study of Odd Objects and Visions and the Palace Wizards Association. These two organizations are the official thaumaturgy organizations of [New Lisbon Island Hub]. The representative of the former The thaumaturges are the multi-ethnic democratic thaumaturges on the island, and the latter represent the thaumaturges of the Silver Hand royal family.

[New Lisbon Island Hub] Although it implements the policy of monarchy and relative isolation, the multi-ethnic immigration structure on the island will inevitably lead to the emergence of corresponding organizations that resist the monarchy.

Since entering the new century, the contradiction between the Palace Wizards Association and the Odd Objects and Phenomena Research Society has become increasingly obvious.

Constitutional monarchy and the corresponding liberal ideological trend are constantly impacting the hub's autocratic monarchy, and the Silver Hand royal family is very disgusted with this ideological trend. Through the restriction of public opinion on the island and long-term royal education, this ideological trend is also disgusted by the residents of the island, and As Edici [Financial Street] continued to expand, until it swept across Terra and even all hubs within Terra, the Silver Hand Royal Family was forced to open up the market and accept the financial wave of global materialization.

For the royal family, New Lisbon Island has a system adapted to New Lisbon Island, which does not require too much guidance and outside interference. Moreover, under the guidance of the [Avalon System] and the island has lived and worked in peace and contentment for several generations, just like the one in the monster The king who died in the attack was extremely conceited and asked sarcastically to those factions that claimed to be democratic:

“I have ruled for three hundred years, and under the name of dictatorship, I have seen only prosperity, not decline.

Every inch of land and every heart on the island has witnessed the glorious mark of prosperity.

Our hearts are as clear as a mirror. In this vast territory, there is no smoke of war, no ghosts of famine crying, no death of plague wandering. The only thing is that ships trading with the outside world are rushing in the waves, and there is gold. Silver treasures continue to accumulate, accumulating like mountains in the depths of the treasury.

You, my subjects, revel in the feast of trade, dance with joy in your hearts, and swim in this vast sea of ​​​​trade. You are willing to pretend, you are willing to pretend to be tolerant in the face of wealth, and you are very willing to show your tolerance and open mind. , closely connected to every corner of the world, willing to blend with all nations on the world stage, and deceive oneself. Isn't this a glorious testimony of my rule?

You, my subjects, in the shining light of wealth, can't you see the greatness and extraordinaryness of my rule?

And isn’t all this a testimony of the glory that history has given me? Isn't this the immortal mark of our dynasty? "

Centralizing power to fight against evil spirits and demons is the ruling philosophy of the King of the Silver Hand Royal Family.

Under the long-term rule of the Silver Hand Royal Family, the hub has been stable and the people are relatively wealthy, and class circulation is visible. No one will have any objections to the Silver Hand Royal Family and the Palace Wizards Association. Even if they do, with the help of [Avalon], will not exist.

However, things will not always go smoothly, and the goddess of destiny will not always favor a nation.

Over the centuries, New Lisbon had been blessed by good fortune, and on the day when the beast struck the city, bad luck decided to make up for its long absence, ensuring that this paradise would never be harmed again. bless.

An unprecedented civil war breaks out in Iberia. The king dies in the disaster caused by the giant beast. A big hole is cut in the barrier, and the hub has to ask for help from heaven.

Even in such a situation, the people of the Silver Hand Royal Family still had their own little thoughts. They tried to establish contact with the Heavenly Kingdom delegation aside from the Research Society of Strange Objects and Visions.

The royal family wanted both face and dignity, so they leaked the information about the Lighthouse Mouth before reaching the same opinion with the Iberian side and the Odd Objects and Visions Research Society.

And they soon paid the price for their arbitrary actions, when Midhill hurried to the Silver Hand Royal Eye yesterday.

He only saw bloodstains all over the ground and countless broken limbs. The horrifying scenes of bloody killings around him constantly impacted his sanity.

He could only hold back his nausea and nausea and broke into the instrument room of [Electronic Channel].

Immediately afterwards, he saw the prince, who was crying and full of fear, being pinched by a two-meter-tall angel who was holding a chain sword and entering the [flesh and blood liberation] state.

In the scene at that time, he could only speak quickly. Before the prince was hacked to death, he said "Save someone under the knife" and successfully saved the prince before the situation escalated further.

And now, Midhill will continue to blame the royal family for its stupidity.

"Two of you, we have conducted technical research with the Unified Thaumaturgy Research Center, the Odd Objects and Phenomena Research Association, and the Iberian Academy of Sciences, and have determined that the explosion hazard of the [electronic channel] is indeed incapable of affecting current humans and humans on a time scale. Terra causes great harm." Midhir said with a smile to the two heavenly angels following him.

"We don't believe your research." Mantz, the Gray Knight Grand Mentor on the side, said without giving any face.

Yesterday, it was this angel who single-handedly slaughtered a fifty-man steam force. At the same time, he also frightened Prince Silverhand out of his courage, leaving a scene of terror that would never be forgotten in the opponent's mind.

The reason Prince Silver Hand is still alive is simply because he considered the interests of the Kingdom of Heaven. From the beginning, he only acted with the intention of intimidating the royal family. His purpose was just to tell the royal family not to be clever and petty in front of the Kingdom of Heaven. means.

"We have seen many leaders in history. His knowledge structure, cultural level, political judgment and value choices will stay at a certain stage in his teenage years. And no matter how long he lives, no matter how many changes occur in the world, He behaves like a zombie at a certain moment. If there is a chance for him to ascend to a big position, he will definitely look for resources and construct his political ideas and value choices from the moment when his intelligence and knowledge development stopped. and statecraft.

This kind of person is generally stubborn, paranoid, and foolishly confident and self-serving, thinking that he has defended a certain value and can open up a new direction for the country's development.

In fact, they often wear ancient costumes but perform on modern stages, like ghosts in tombs suddenly appearing in broad daylight. Everyone knows that they are ghosts, but they think they are true gods. However, the ideas he chose and the policies he implemented were all moldy old goods. "The Grand Master of the Gray Knight said sarcastically in a cold tone.

"Your royal family's stupidity cannot win our trust."

"It doesn't matter if you two don't believe it. I can take you to the Fairy Library, where all the research logs are stored. You can hand them over to Eden for review." Even though Midhill was extremely embarrassed in the face of the Gray Knight's rebuttal, he I can only continue to say with a smile.

"We will." Manz said expressionlessly.

While the court wizard was chatting with the Gray Knight, the first swordsman in the Kingdom of Heaven, who was holding an ancient book and a black umbrella, was looking up at the place in front of him where the Odd Objects and Phenomenology Research Institute was. He noticed a familiar building here. style.

In the thick morning fog, the majestic figure of the Strange Objects and Phenomenon Research Society slowly appeared.

This large magic academy is like a Gothic castle, standing in a mysterious sea of ​​trees. Its towering spiers, sharp arches and complex flying buttresses painted a mysterious and intimidating picture in the hazy morning light.

Looking closer, you can see that almost every window is carefully carved with exquisite patterns, as if every line contains unfathomable magical power.

On the towering spire, flying buttresses connect it to the main building. Each structure seems independent, but also seems to be closely connected through some mysterious power. Geometric stone sculptures, mysterious symbols and ancient inscriptions are intertwined, creating a A towering arch leads you to one mysterious space after another.

The long corridors, huge libraries and countless research rooms seem to lead to another world.

"Who designed this academy?" Saint Valentine asked the old wizard beside him.

The old wizard was stunned for a moment, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally he answered honestly:

"Diego Flores, he immigrated here at the end of the last century. He was originally a gunnery division in Iberia [Hunting Hall]. Later, he left [Hunting Hall] because of some things and immigrated to Hub of New Lisbon Island. In the same year that he immigrated here, he joined the Research Society for Strange Objects and Phenomena. When the Research Society allocated a large financial budget to renovate the Research Society in the style of Terra's first-class academic palace, he succeeded. He defeated all the bidders and became the construction director of the research association, and the reason why he defeated all the bidders was just one sentence..."

"He studied abroad in heaven." Saint Valentine took over Midhill's words.

"...Yes, he once went to the Kingdom of Heaven to study for a period of time with a certain big shot in the Kingdom of Heaven." Midhill answered somewhat deliberately.

"That big shot must be Judith. I remember that he once led a group of people to the Kingdom of Heaven for academic talks." Manz spoke and joined the conversation.

"...Yes." The old wizard smiled and lowered his head and replied. This was not something he deliberately brought up about the rebel in heaven. It was you who brought it up yourself.

"Where is he now?" Saint Valentine continued.

"You want to see him?" Midhill said in surprise.

The Grand Master of the Gray Knight on the side also looked at the number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven silently. He wondered in his heart whether the other party had obtained some other unknown information through [Flowers in the Mirror].

"Well, I want to see him."

Saint Valentine nodded, and then he added:

"Just tell me his location, and I will go find him myself. As for studying the log, just ask Mantz to follow you."

"Ah this..."

Allowing the number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven to walk around the territory at will is really...

"Do you have any objection?" The number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven asked in a calm tone.

It was obviously a question, but his tone seemed to be stating something.

"No, no, I was just wondering if it would be a bit disrespectful for you to walk around the country alone." Midhill shook his head wildly and replied.

Midhill understood that for the number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, he could really move around the hub at will, and any tracking and vigilance were completely unnecessary for him.

"That's good." The number one sword holder in Heaven nodded with satisfaction.

Midhill immediately told Saint Valentine about the possible location of Diego Flores. After receiving the news, the other party briefly talked with the Grand Master of the Gray Knights, and then He just left here on his own, leaving behind the taciturn and embarrassed old wizard.

*************

Saint Valentine is currently walking alone in the Institute for the Study of Strange Objects and Visions. Although the style here is imitated by the style of the Two Houses of Heaven, its interior is that of the Central Alliance.

For example, the stairs here are imitations of the Academy of Fog style [moving stairs]. These stairs are decorated with exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings, giving them an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and they will change their positions and directions at different times.

The Magic Academy in Fog City likes to install this kind of [moving stairs] the most. It is mysterious and unpredictable, interesting and adventurous. This is the thing that the aristocratic thaumaturges in Fog City like to install the most, and they use the stairs to bully the newcomers who come in every year. Muggles' are also what those aristocrats like to do the most.

Saint Valentine is not interested in exploring the [Moving Staircase] at the moment. He uses the magic of Heaven's [God Walk] to teleport step by step to the place where Diego Flores may be staying provided by Midhill. .

He was very curious about Flores. To be more precise, he was very curious about Flores' disciples.

Pedro Miguelset, or, as the opponent's early name was, Pedro Iberia.

This is a taboo name. When the first swordsman in the Kingdom tried to explore everything the prince knew through [Flower in the Mirror], a powerful anti-Mimu lock blocked his exploration.

The anti-Mimu lock locked the knowledge of electronic channels and related knowledge of the Avalon system.

When he forcefully tears the anti-mi mother lock inside the prince, the other party will let out a scream of soul.

I am oblivious······

This is the sound of mourning.
