In the end, no one knelt again except Egbert who had already knelt.
Of course, Egbert was quickly pulled up as well.
Suli has a strong ability to digest things on his own. Since the final development of the book incident did not turn out to be a bad thing, what Suli needs to think about is how to have the derivative thoughts of the book proven to be correct by the official himself.
Fortunately, although a lot of things happened during this month, Ophelia and the king did not die easily.
Willard's thinking was becoming increasingly deviant. He did not hesitate to poison the king, let alone when facing Ophelia.
Can the princess be restrained so easily?
The answer is yes.
Xia Zuo is now in a Schrodinger's state, but no matter his true existence, whether he still leans towards the previous Xia Zuo or the later dead Pope, he will no longer be controlled by Ophelia.
The eldest princess had her only chance to sit on the throne, but after being held back by Sully, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky for her to find the right opportunity again.
Therefore, in this situation, the deposed heir Willard could not sit on the throne, not to mention that he was still in the Mercenary City without even a sound. Others who might become heirs were also suppressed by Ophelia more than once.
Conversely, either the king and Ophelia must not die, or they must both die.
The two need to restrain each other, and the king must not discover Ophelia's true identity, otherwise, Ophelia's survival value will be completely eliminated by the king.
Willard has successfully learned how to strike the right balance between these two people within this month.
Willard very neatly pushed the blame of poisoning Ophelia onto the king, and told him that the reason why the king was assassinated so easily before was because Ophelia also poisoned him.
The original king was shocked and angry, but Willard later told him, "You can't make a child feel safe when she's in that environment, and then you can't stop her from finding security herself."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, even though the king's mind was momentarily overwhelmed by the thought that "his princess has had such a hard time these days", he did retain in his heart the idea that there was something wrong with Ophelia.
Willard, satisfied with the king's understanding, turned around and manipulated Ophelia.
Willard always had a feeling of uncertainty when facing the eldest princess, so even though he succeeded later, Willard was still a little worried, so he told Sully about his actions.
After Suli heard this, his mouth twitched for a while, and then he said affirmatively: "Don't worry, before the king died, Ophelia was trustworthy enough. What you need to do is to make it difficult for the king to die, and even if the king dies, Ophelia will not be able to truly hold power alone."
As for the reason why Ophelia was trustworthy, Sully didn't say, and Willard didn't need an answer, so he returned to the palace happily.
Later, other people in the hotel also asked why they thought Ophelia was trustworthy at this moment.
Lan Zhe, who had heard a lot of gossip recently, explained it conveniently.
"Because in the eyes of the eldest princess, the king's jealousy towards her is because he knows that she is the Pope's daughter."
"Perhaps Ophelia would question why the king, who knew the truth about cuckoldry, didn't kill herself. But as long as she thought about her true identity being revealed, not only would she lose her status as a princess, but she would also be eliminated from the chance zone of succession at the first opportunity, so she could only choose to shut up."
"As for what would happen if Ophelia discovered the truth later... by then, she would have been in a coma for a long time. After using the time to figure out the situation, the woman would not dare to act rashly."
"She has no cards in her hand. She cannot kill the king by herself. Willard has the Chief Justice standing behind him. With the queen already in the game, I'm afraid she will not be able to compete. So the only thing she can do is to desperately accumulate strength before the king dies."
Even if Ophelia has her own personal power in the future, it is impossible for others to remain utterly unimproved.
The situation of mutual restraint remains stable.
But the most important thing now is to quickly realize the extended impact of that book.
"Go find Willard."
Roy raised his hand decisively: "I'll go."
"I think it would be best if the young master had a few people under him who could pass on messages."
Egbert said decisively: "Then you are the best fit, a third-rate mercenary rented for a month at ten gold coins."
Roy almost beat Egbert to death.
Although what he said is true.
On paper, a two-star mercenary is nothing to a noble, but if Roy has the strength of a three-star mercenary, it would be completely different.
In this case, no matter who Roy hands the message that Suli needs to convey, that person will definitely treat it with caution.
…
On the other hand, after Willard learned about Sully's needs from Roy, he contacted his grandfather immediately.
A man who holds judicial power naturally represents a force of justice.
The book itself does not represent anything. The extensions and ideas of the book, once they have been spread, whoever can be the first to guide these ideas will become the latest person to try them out.
The world is bound to undergo a major change.
The rules that existed in the past will be overturned to a large extent, and new rules will be created.
People will also generate new needs and even pursuits as a result.
Moreover, before this, the public opinion represented by Godfrey was enough to give birth to print media.
What Sully really wants is to cram the concepts of the new world and the future into the minds of the people in this world.
During the time he was buried deep in the library, Suli asked himself why he was so afraid and what the truth represented.
It turned out later that he was overthinking it.
When you have thoughts like fear and terror about something, it is nothing more than those unstable things that will affect your life safety, property safety, and mental state.
In other words -
All fears come from insufficient firepower.
It's not that we are going from one extreme to another. It's just that when humans have been developing in the elements for thousands of years without any obvious progress, there is no harm in making appropriate reference to the system of another world that has already developed to a certain scale, right?
The Chief Justice later came to meet Sully in person.
He only asked two questions: "Is everything you do harmful to humanity?"
“Is everything you want to achieve making humanity better?”
Suli did not answer, but the man who held judicial power already knew the answer.
The gray-haired man said before leaving the hotel: "I will support everything you do."
After meeting this old man, Sully suddenly understood why Willard, who had such a prominent family background, was still treated as a tool.
The old man has no intention of interfering in the development of future generations.
Whether you live like a human or a dog depends entirely on yourself.
That is an idealism that puts everything one pursues at the highest level.
The judiciary represented by the Chief Justice not only has natural notarial power, but also necessarily requires credibility.
The trust of the general public depends on fairness.
When human beings live in a very unfair environment, the old man will choose to do everything he can to bring fairness to the world.
Therefore, he cares about justice, but not just justice.
Sully sighed, "At least we can avoid having to deal with Meredith again."
"Why do you say that?" asked the crow, squatting on his head.
At this moment, Suli is racking his brains to record the development path and direction of weapons in modern society in a book.
"That king doesn't want to see changes."
This will affect his governance as well as his personal interests.
A person who has been on the throne for so many years must have a unique perception of certain political changes.
And everything that happens next will be handled first by the Chief Justice, so the king will not lose his rightful rule before his death.
on the contrary……
The question is, if Mavis dares to assassinate once, she will dare to do it ten times.
There is always a chance to kill.
"Hopefully, we can return to Mercenary City before New Year's Eve."
"Is that a special day?" The crow shook its feet.
Sully smiled and didn't answer Du Ya, because that was the only New Year's Eve he remembered the following year.
Starting next year, the ties he had in his native world would be diluted again and again by the flow of time.
So before that…
"No one can make me work overtime during the Chinese New Year, even if they pay me three times the salary!"
After Suli finished speaking, he continued to work hard and began to implement the work plan one by one according to the work plan that filled a whole notebook.
However, after working for a whole day and finding out that the next project was a banquet that he had to attend, Sully tried to push the task into Egbert's hands.
Egbert: "I do hope you can keep your eyes on me all the time, but the space in your life cannot be just for me."
"So, do I have to attend the party?" Sully lazily lay on the table.
Egbert hesitated.
Suli continued: "I don't think there is any room for communication between me and those nobles who label me as trash the first time they see me."
"It's better not to go." Egbert smiled gently, but inexplicably made people feel a little scary. "How can a group of idiots who are so stupid that their brains run in a cesspool on the outskirts of the city be qualified to meet you?"
"So this task can be crossed out, right?" Sully picked up the pen excitedly, preparing to cross out the item related to the banquet in the notebook full of plans.
When office workers go out to work without any substantial rewards... Sully has only one answer to the question of useless socializing.
If you have nothing to do, sleeping is a good thing.
Socializing? Absolutely not.
Unfortunately, this idea was broken by Mavis.
"The banquet hosted by the Gabriel family is not completely useless." Mavis said, "The Chief Justice also thinks it is necessary for you to go and have a look."
"At least you have to let all the nobles know that you have the power to destroy their entire family at any time."
Sully glanced at Mavis and Egbert, and suddenly he understood.
The author has something to say:
