Lord of War

Sean picked up the notebook on the ground.

This is a notebook with a black cover. The material is obviously not pure leather. It feels a little smooth to the touch, and it looks like it should be made of some kind of mixed material.

This is very rare on the mainland. After all, according to the development history of this world, knowledge was still the privilege of the aristocratic class about a few hundred years ago, until paper was invented by the believers of the God of Wisdom about a hundred years ago. Finally, the inheritance of knowledge began to really spread.

So in the past, parchment was the only source of knowledge inheritance, and things like notebooks were naturally only available in the past hundred years. It's just that this kind of thing has very clear production specifications from the very beginning, and no one will make a special cover or book cover for a thing that has already been mass-produced. It goes without saying.

Sean opened the notebook with a look of surprise on his face.

The notebook is not big, about the size of Sean's palm. It looks thick, but after actually opening it, I realized that there are not many pages in it, only less than ten pages. The reason why this notebook is so thick is purely because the pages inside are not ordinary paper, but sheepskin that has been specially leathered and treated. This kind of sheepskin will appear very soft and smooth, and the ink will be absorbed more easily It will not spread, so it is possible to write very small characters on these sheepskins.

In fact, the handwriting of the text in the notebook is indeed very small, and each letter has a tail.

This is the Millennium Covenant Empire cursive that was popular a hundred and fifty years ago.

A magician from the Millennium Covenant Empire?

Sean frowned slightly: "No wonder you know magic like the soul spear. If you guess correctly, I'm afraid it's the mage who looks at the spire."

The Millennium Covenant Empire gave Sean neither a good nor a bad impression.

As one of the five oldest empires in the world, the Millennium Covenant was originally a federal state composed of many tribes. Later, it suffered losses in disputes with other empires and changed from a federal system to a parliamentary monarchy.

A king is jointly elected by all the tribes, and when the king is incompetent, other tribes have the right to remove the king and re-elect a new king, or even kill the king directly.

It's just that with the development of history, the Millennium Covenant Empire has gradually changed from a parliamentary monarchy to a dual monarchy. In recent years, the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire is obviously no longer satisfied with this dual monarchy, and the rights of the parliament have basically been completely emptied. Judging from the current situation, the Millennium Covenant Empire is likely to evolve become a dictatorship.

Among the seven great empires on the Miracle Continent, there is not a single dictatorial empire at all.

Except for the two empires that are constantly being replaced, the remaining five empires, the Chinas Empire has been a constitutional monarchy since its establishment; the St. Joels Empire is a divine right of monarchy with religious power greater than imperial power; Maggie The empire is a typical monarchy and parliamentary system. After all, magicians look down on ordinary people fundamentally. As for the situation of the Amelia Empire, it is exactly the opposite of the Maggie Empire. It is a parliamentary monarchy.

The dualist monarchy can be regarded as a constitutional monarchy in essence, but the performance of the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire is much stronger than that of the Qinas Empire.

Sean doesn't quite remember whether the Millennium Covenant Empire's parliament was finally abolished in the original game, but he does know that if he wants to revive the Holy Land, then he must deal with the new emperor.

Back then in the game, people from the family were responsible for these matters, so he didn't need to think about them, but now as a lord, he had to think carefully about these things.

Because every decision he makes is related to the life of the entire territory and all his followers. And judging from the current situation, Asuna is completely tied to the same boat as him, and he even has to go to fight for Asuna. Sina, the titular lord, thought about it.

"This ruin should be the territory of the Darbion Kingdom. Why did the magician of the Millennium Covenant Empire appear here?" Sean frowned even deeper.

On the first page of the notebook, there are not many useful things recorded. It is basically the content of the magician talking to himself, and occasionally involves a few magician proper nouns and terms. However, these contents are very short, occasionally a word or a few words, at most it is a short sentence of less than ten characters, and the content is also talking to oneself.

Sean flipped through two pages casually, but there was nothing worth paying attention to.

But when he turned to the third page, his eyes changed.

On the first line of the third page, it reads "In the year and month of ⒘⒔, I finally came to Darbion with the mission."

"1713..., the official public beta date of the game was 1870, which is almost 160 years ago!" Sean quickly realized, "This is even earlier than the beta test!"

The Miracle game has a timeline development line, basically all missions and historical events, etc. have actually happened. When the game officially started the public beta, the time in the game was 1870, but Sean heard that there was a three-month internal beta before that, and the number of players invited did not exceed 10,000. The timeline was 1770 Years, exactly one hundred years before the start of the public beta.

When the game officially started its public beta, all the historical issues in the game became things that players need to discover by themselves, which is also the origin of the party.

"What is a magician from the Millennium Covenant Empire doing in the Darbion Kingdom?" Sean frowned. "Is it an illusion that the Darbion Kingdom wants to build a fortress here to resist the invasion of wild tribes?"

Sean remembered that Andre had said that it had been trying to build a fortress here for more than a hundred years, and it was not until the last few decades that this plan was finally abandoned. If the real purpose of the Dabion Kingdom is not to resist the invasion of the wild land, but to have some secret deal with the Millennium Covenant Empire, then the meaning of the existence of the ancient ruins here is completely different.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't wait to look down.

"In March 1713, after two months of long negotiations, an agreement was finally reached with Dabihan."

There is still only one sentence, but there is nothing to say about the specific content of the agreement.

"In November 1713, the situation in the Rift Valley was as bad as the rumors said, but it would be great if it could be successful."

"In March 1714, all the materials have been delivered, and I finally drew the blueprint."

"The progress in 1714 was not very smooth. Although the magic square has been constructed, the construction of the underground laboratory has encountered difficulties."

Seeing this, Xiao En's eyes suddenly focused: "Underground laboratory?...The defense against the invasion of the wild land is really just a cover....No, it can't be said to be a cover, it should be that this thing kills two birds with one stone, Darby It is impossible for Ang Kingdom to be a fool. They will never do something that is not beneficial."

The content of the third page is recorded here. After all, this notebook is not big, even if the handwriting is smaller, but the space is very limited, not to mention the cursive characters of the Millennium Covenant Empire is still a pursuit Visually beautiful text, so some blank space will be left to make the text look more beautiful as much as possible without stacking all of them together.

Turn to a new page.

"In March 1715, the stagnant work finally made new progress."

"In March 1715, the underground experiment was finally built successfully, and I think I can start the first experiment soon."

"In March 1715, the guards finally attacked. I believe that my first batch of experimental materials will be sent soon. Before that, I will check the magic square. No."

"In March 1715, the first batch of materials was finally captured, and I am really satisfied."

"December 1716, damn it, the experiment failed!"

For some reason, when Xiao En saw the words "material" and "experiment failure", he felt a chill of extreme sadness and fear from the bottom of his heart. And at the bottom of the fourth page, there is an extra number: 271.

Sean didn't know the meaning of this number, but his intuition told him that this number definitely didn't mean anything good.

"In March 1716, the second batch of materials was finally delivered, but the inferior species of those tribes seemed to have found this place. The fortress has not been built yet, so I am a little worried."

"November, 1716, the scum seem to have attacked, but that's none of my business."

"December 1716, damn it, one of the test subjects escaped! This disrupted all my plans! I have to find it first!"

"In January 1717, the front line lost. Commander Entine had to retreat to the second line. Now I must evacuate here first."

"In July 1717, the war was finally over and luckily we regained the area, unfortunately it seemed we had to go through a period of construction all over again."

At the bottom of the fifth page, there is still a number written: 410,

This number is much higher than the previous one, and Sean finally understood one thing, this number probably represents the amount of living materials.

Turning to the sixth page, the content records no longer have the date displayed, and it seems that they were written casually in the midst of busy schedules, because the language is obviously messy, and many of them are even similar to sentimental content. The things recorded in the notebook are obviously no longer pure diaries or other things, but have become similar to experimental reports.

"Another war broke out, how many times is this the first time? My experiment has reached a critical moment, and I will not leave here no matter what. Anyway, those bad species will not even try to find the correct entrance to the laboratory.

... I heard that there is a tribal princess among the experimental materials this time, hehe, I can't wait to meet her. "

"Damn it, it's been so long, why hasn't the escaped experiment been found yet! Judging from the current results, that experiment is probably my most successful masterpiece, and I must catch it no matter what. !"

"I have to keep all the experimental materials under guard. That damned animal has used all my experimental materials as food! As expected, inferior species don't have any family values. But this time, I was lucky enough to capture the animal. some blood, maybe I can do some other experiments?"

"I'm really a genius! Even an incompetent guy like a goblin can be strengthened to the silver stage by me, so what about the effect on humans? ... That damned experimental material must have been fully strengthened, I must catch him !at all costs!"

"I've got an idea!"

"Sure enough, no creature can escape the desire of desire in the end. Hehe...,...it fell in love with that princess, and it actually made that princess have a child, hehe."

"I finally got hold of that beast today. Then I killed the princess in front of it, took out its baby, and oh, it's wonderful how it went mad.  …Well, there's war on the ground again... ...,"

"Why does a beast have divine power in its body! Is this canyon the place where some god fell?"

"The beast is finally dead. I have condensed all the blood in his body into a spar. Maybe I should use humans as an experiment to see the situation?"

Seeing this, Sean closed the notebook with a "snap".

At this moment, he felt the blood in his body boiling abnormally, and he knew that he was very angry now.

In vivo experiments and other things are not uncommon in this world. Those believers in the God of Wisdom in the Haitham Research Institute often do this kind of thing, but they will never do such cruel and bloody things. It is completely out of the definition of the so-called "magic experiment", but a real evil experiment! Sean couldn't believe that a magician who was born in the Overlook Spire would do such a thing. He began to suspect that this magician should be a mage who was expelled from the Overlook Spire.

After taking a few deep breaths, Sean opened the notebook again, and there were only two pages left in it.

"I finally understood that it wasn't my experiment that was successful, but that this beast became stronger because it was infected with divine power. The war on the ground was completely broken, and I was really trapped in this laboratory."

"I finally realized the feeling of that beast. It turns out that eating the flesh of a companion in order to survive is like this."

"I can feel the endless evil thoughts in the laboratory, and these evil thoughts are about to materialize."

"I have been infected by evil thoughts. But I can still suppress this pressure. I must return to China as soon as possible, otherwise, once my soul is completely swallowed, I will become a collection of evil thoughts. ... But before that , I want to kill all the people in the laboratory, this plan is the core secret of the empire, it must not be leaked out, and there is still a lot of value here, I actually found a closed entrance to the abyss!"

The notebook is completely over here.

It's just that Sean's eyes couldn't be calm for a long time.

The contents revealed from the notebook showed that even if the details of the plan were not written on it, Sean already knew what the Millennium Covenant Empire was planning. Originally, this incident was spread by a small number of players as a rumor in the game. Although the rumors were never groundless, no one has ever received the trigger point of the mission, so this mission has been going on for a long time. forgotten by the players.

Xiao En did not expect that the Millennium Covenant Empire would be so cunning that it would not set up research institutions in its own borders, but set up research institutions in other countries. No wonder no players could receive the trigger of the mission.

At this moment, an urgent shout suddenly came from behind Sean: "Sean!" PS: In my current situation, there are still so many people supporting me, thank you very much! This month's update is indeed very weak, but I can't help it... No one wants to waste a chance to block tweets, and I am really helpless.
