"Not really." Roy shook his head.
"It doesn't make sense that a grave that was just buried yesterday would be dug up today. This is too disrespectful to the dead."
"So you have already tacitly acknowledged that Godfrey was a real person, that he was dead, and that he left important things in his grave?" Lan Zhe looked at Egbert and Roy speechlessly.
Egbert said: "I always believed that Godfrey was only one side of Lord Sully."
Egbert then emphasized to others the values that Godfrey represented.
"The fact that this character exists means there must be traces of the past."
"Besides, there are too few people like Lord Suli. I don't think that if Godefroy is a real guy, he would be born with the same wisdom as Lord Suli."
"On this point, I am more convinced that the Buddha Gāthān really exists, and the wisdom he possesses can only come from Lord Suli."
"In other words, Godefroi, who is admired and respected by the world, is the disciple of Master Suli."
Egbert said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Godfrey is already highly respected by the people of this city, so Lord Sully will only achieve greater success."
"Of course, this part of the performance, identity and characteristics will only be used to deal with ordinary people." Egbert said, "For the nobles and royal family, the most important thing is that Lord Sully himself has the conditions to influence the heir of this country. This is the most important point."
Roy was confused: "What you are saying now is different from what you showed before."
"I just felt that the nobles were not worthy of our respect." Egbert glanced at Roy.
The common people and the nobles share an important characteristic that determines the quality of the two groups of people.
For the former, it is enough for them to know that there is a character in this world who can guide them in the direction of progress.
As for the nobles who thought they were among the few who had mastered something important, it was easier to convince them than to make them understand the huge differences between them.
The former can use Godfrey to guide the current situation into the situation that Egbert wants, while for the latter, the people around Lord Sully already have the characteristics to achieve that.
It's just that Egbert didn't feel this deeply before.
But as long as he thought about the channels controlled by the nobles, which could indeed make it easier for the people to listen to Lord Sully's words, Egbert would take the initiative to bring the previously unimportant nobles to the table for a talk.
"After a few days, the black-painted copy of 'No One Knows Mr. Sully Better Than Me' buried in the coffin was widely circulated among the people. I decided to let Willard help spread the black-painted word 'Sully'."
The first question that puzzled Crow was, “Who is that?”
Egbert's expression suddenly became indescribable.
"A strange, but occasionally valuable tool."
The conversation that day ended hastily at this end.
While the others were thinking about how to delay Sully's return to the Mercenary City and let "Godfrey" ferment again in the city, the latter did not give them a chance to delay and directly proposed to Willard the idea of going to the Royal Library.
Willard agreed on the spot.
So while the legend was brewing in the city, Sully plunged headfirst into the sea of books.
The book "The Birth of the Elements", which I had previously read as gossip, needs to be re-read in detail. Other classic books such as aristocratic gossip also need to be re-read.
There must be some information hidden in those gossips that has not been paid attention to before.
For example, in a family that is particularly fond of playing, there is a person who is different from the ordinary people. Not only does that person not play, he even wants the entire family to stop messing around.
Apart from that, there are some people who are occasionally mentioned between the lines in gossip stories and are almost abnormal compared to the general public.
After discovering these existences, we continued to dig deeper along these traces, and through Willard's personal connections, after confirming that a certain character belonged to a certain family, we went there in person to visit and inquire.
During the period when this kind of behavior continued, Suli actually dug up some incredible things.
For example, the royal family of Amicbee originally had their bloodline derived from mermaids.
Suli was stunned when he saw it. It wasn't that he didn't believe whether the existence of mermaids was true or not, but he suddenly felt that the human beings in this world were indeed restricted in their thinking.
At least he knew roughly what mermaids were. Regardless of whether they had been processed by modern art or not, he knew roughly what mermaids were.
If Sully were to ask the people around him about the word "mermaid", he bet that Egbert's response would be, "A fish that looks a lot like a human?"
Apart from understanding it literally, it is impossible for people who are not clear about the concept to understand it.
In addition, there is the geographical environment of Amiqbe.
Why must Jisuo Town be the only way to the Monster Forest?
It's a shame not to see it. Before, everyone only had the concept of the necessary route, but in reality, the entire continent is like an isolated island. Except for the place that connects Jiso Town and the Monster Forest, the edge of Amikobi is basically a natural landscape that is completely impossible to cross easily.
Mountains tens of thousands of meters high, rift valleys of unknown depth, oceans full of unknown horizons, and polar regions that are unsuitable for human survival.
All of these things have confined humanity to a certain area.
Has no one ever explored the outside world before?
There is a sentence in the gossip book: [That fool who was so stupid that he didn't know how terrible the world was, just walked towards the mountain that no one had ever thought it necessary to climb. Then, the alchemy tool that relied on life to survive was broken in the middle of the night. And the person who walked out never came back.]
Mountain climbing, especially climbing dangerous peaks, is an extreme environment that can be very dangerous for modern people. But for people who have the elements, this seemingly extreme environment is easy to achieve.
Why did the dead person die?
It seems like the only possibility is a monster.
But why is it described in a book: [All monsters live in the Monster Forest. ]
Combining these words, Suli concluded that the concept of Monster Forest is the same as Amicbee.
Amiqbi refers to a country with various natural environments and people with various elements. If the Monster Forest is also based on this concept, it proves that the area of human life is not only circled, but also determined, and humans themselves do not have the value to break through this circle.
Why did the people who went out die? Of course it was because they were too weak.
If you go out you will die, which means you are too weak.
Being bullied means you are incompetent.
Lack of resources means uselessness.
Everything that exists in the information channels that humans can understand is proving to them that the problem is with you.
Brainwashing is a very terrible means of behavior, and if people of all generations receive this kind of education, then the implicit rules will be subtly equated to being taken for granted.
So if someone has the idea of exploring and understanding the unknown, it will become, why do you want to die? Do you not want to live? No one has ever done this before, and those who have done this have died.
In the end, it comes back to the same place again. Why are you looking for death?
Let’s go back to the creator of the previous aristocratic gossip.
Why did the creator describe it as “I have no idea how terrible the world is”?
Conversely, the person who wrote the gossip might know more than the deceased explorer himself.
And maybe I'm holding on to the hope that you can come back safely and bring more information.
Sully silently set a new schedule for himself to visit the creator's descendants.
Understanding these unknowns is not irrelevant to Suli.
A world that provides adequate elderly care should at least not have various risks that are difficult to face.
The second is people’s wisdom.
If people in the world who have been taught not to raise questions or doubts continue in this way, they will really be completely assimilated into one of the monsters.
Although he is a human, he desperately follows the path of development of monsters.
In the end, I ended up being neither fish nor fowl and unable to continue to develop...
Humanity cannot afford it.
To be assimilated is to be destroyed.
Growing old in this kind of world, Suli was worried that he, who used to be able to finish two bowls of rice, would choke after eating a single bite.
Therefore, if you know the unknown answers in advance, you can answer them immediately when the person asking the question asks, and enhance the other person's curiosity.
So, when Sully deliberately maintained, don't bother me, I just want to read the book for the time being and understand the story behind the book...
This situation lasted for a month. When Suli finally had some confidence that could be shattered at any time and thought he could contact the king of Amiqbi and start the mission of enlightening the people, Suli suddenly found that people passing by on the street were talking about his name.
"My favorite quote is, of course, Mr. Sully's quote, 'If something seems reasonable, but is accompanied by blood, then it is unreasonable regardless of whether it seems reasonable or not.'"
"My favorite line is 'Physical pain has an upper limit, but mental pain has no limit.'"
"In fact, I often wonder why I must become stronger. Of course, I know that becoming stronger is a good thing, but I wonder, generation after generation, my parents, my ancestors, my forefathers, they all tried to become stronger, so when it comes to my generation, when I have the status of a noble, I have enough money to spend my whole life, and I can buy whatever I want, why do I still have to work so hard to become stronger?"
"I can't get any happiness from working hard to become stronger. I only feel pain. Even if I get stronger and stronger and improve my strength, even if I get a moment of satisfaction, I will feel endless emptiness and despair while working hard for the next stage."
“I don’t want to do that.”
"In fact, I have the same idea, but when I said it when I was young and ignorant, my family would scold me for not being ambitious enough."
Such things could be heard by Suli wherever he walked in the city.
but……
"What book are you talking about?"
The author has something to say:
Let me sort out the relationship chart of the characters in the palace for you kids——
Xia Zuo and Ophelia have the same mother, Lyra who committed suicide. The key word is Daphne.
Meredith is the king, and is confused about whether to die or not.
Gaode Buddha is purely fictional, so the fictional characters should not be too showy.
How could the mother be nameless at the moment? The saint was called that first.
——Ophelia and Xia Zuo are siblings. I typed it quickly before and wrote it as brother and sister. I corrected it that day.
The Pope's original name was Lanrimo. The next day, I thought of a plot later (no spoilers), so I deleted the name Lanrimo.
Mama, Mavis, and Lyra are from the same group (the control group).
