Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

As the listener who listens to me, who else is more suitable than the person I like, as long as I can talk to her, I will feel better.

Turning her head sideways, Belinda could clearly see the Victorian flag fluttering in the wind in the city.

A crown is placed on top of the shield, and on both sides of the shield are also two winged beasts, the left symbolizes Aslan and the right symbolizes Draco.

"I never thought that the Aslans representing Victoria's first class would be so unbearable, but I am still one of them.

Privilege has completely corrupted them, and now they are a group of despicable monsters, and they cannot be called lions at all, which may be the reason why no one can bear the crown. "

Belinda almost thought of what to say, without any order, and didn't bother to sort out her words, and it was rare for Lilica to speak about her complaints.

"What are you going to do...to take up the...crown and change your...people?"

If Belinda really chooses to take the road of choosing the king, then Lilica can only say goodbye to her no matter how reluctant she is.

Black Dog certainly thinks it would be interesting if Belinda becomes king, but this is fundamentally a completely different path from the world.

The International will definitely not choose to support Belinda becoming king, of course, even if it supports it, it is useless. The International is not weak, but it is not strong enough to affect the succession of Victoria's throne.

She must have the support of Victoria's domestic factions to succeed, but once she accepts this support, is Belinda really Belinda?

She will only become a new spokesperson for interests, but she can't change the country at all. After all, she has no power at all and can only be pushed away.

"I..."

Taking a deep breath, she said her plan without any hesitation.

Chapter 1645 There Should Be No King

As an excellent listener, Lilica actually just needs to listen, but when the audience has their own position, she will naturally express it.

Grabbing Belinda's arm lightly, she didn't want this lion who had been with her for a long time to face the sad future.

She is an excellent picture book author, and the future vision of that world line can't help appearing in her mind.

Belinda was wearing a gorgeous cloak that looked like a quilt, holding a scepter and a crown that was too heavy to move her neck easily, and she sat motionless on the prison called the throne.

As far as the eyes could see, all the subjects bowed their heads, and those who bowed down had their own expressions on their faces, flattering, disdainful, playful, it didn't matter.

There is no respect and admiration alone.

A Sarkaz man whose face could not be seen stood beside the throne. He was second only to the queen in gorgeous clothes, and still wore a smaller crown on his head.

The Prince Regent becomes Prince, and their children will have an unquestionably strong claim to the dual kingdoms of Kazdel and Victoria.

And the lion sitting on the throne, deep in the majestic gaze, there is nothing but powerlessness.

The lion who had escaped from captivity returned to her cage, and it was far more impenetrable than ever.

This is still the best choice in that world line. The battle for the throne is cruel and ruthless. If a person like Belinda who has no basic skills wants to do this kind of thing, besides being turned into a puppet, the greater possibility is death.

Death by assassination, death in a cold dungeon, death in a conflict, there are too many possibilities for her to disappear from the face of the earth, never to be mentioned by anyone again.

Thinking of this, Lilica increased the strength in her hands again, she was restraining herself, and for her, she still valued Belinda's own choice more.

What he is doing now is the limit of what the old deer can do.

Feeling the strength in her arm, Belinda stretched her hand to the top of Lilica's head between the broken horns as if mustering all her courage.

Even after so many years, Lilica's broken horn still hasn't returned to normal, but at least it has changed from the point where she couldn't even tell that she was Elafia to what it is now.

The old deer didn't dodge for the first time, and Belinda finally got her wish and touched a position she had never touched before.

What does the top of the girl's head feel like to the touch? Belinda's first feeling is that it is slippery, and there seems to be no friction between the hair strands.

Counseling the lion didn't dare to use too much force, just caressed there, and immediately retracted his hand after feeling it slightly, and put it on the tip of his nose by magic.

I only smelled a faint fragrance, I don't know if it is the smell of shampoo or Lilica's own fragrance.

Of course, there is also an imperceptible aroma of wine mixed in it. It seems that the body of the alcoholic is also marinated by alcohol.

"Lilica, do you know Colombia, that young country."

nod nod.

But it is hard for anyone who is infected not to have heard of the country of Colombia, which was the most tolerant area for infected people before the emergence of the International, and that country attracted many infected people with the slogan of fairness.

There, infected people can not only own part of the wealth, but also get fields and even citizenship.

Even if you want to live in the city, you can, but you have to be supervised by the district, and you can't go out of the treatment area.

This looks similar to the isolation areas for infected people in other countries, but the treatment area there is still a relatively normal urban area, with no obvious shortcomings other than the loss of freedom and a relatively monotonous and backward life.

These are all recorded in the international illustrations of Terra countries, and they can be seen as long as they go to the library, so they are not classified as confidential information.

Lilica thinks that this is actually not a shortcoming. After all, the infected person is indeed a patient and there is a risk of infection, and proper containment is more conducive to stability.

But the illustrated book also said that Colombia is good for the infected only because the country is still in the period of development and development and needs a lot of cheap labor.

Once the rising period ends for some reason, infected people who only have financial resources and land without any power or force will easily become livestock to be slaughtered, and they will not even be able to protect themselves.

Anyway, immigrants will continue to go to Colombia, and these immigrants are just a crop of leeks, which can't be cut.

Many infected people who came to the country said that they originally considered going to Colombia, but they changed their destination after learning about the country halfway through.

Compared to Colombia, the International is currently the only city-state-like organization composed of infected people in the city-states of the Terra countries except Kazdel.

In addition to being full of infected people, another characteristic of Cassidale is that she is a nation-state, and the situation there is enough to make people daunting if they don't ask whether they accept immigrants.

But what is the scale of Colombia? According to international statistics, there are still many more infected people who go to Colombia every year than those who come to Edelweiss.

Of course, if the infected people from all over the world go to Edelweiss, the world really can't accept them all, at least not yet.

I don't know how much Colombia knows about the international. Anyway, the international has figured out Colombia thoroughly, so that even Belinda can tell a thing or two.

"Colombia is doing well without a king. Why do many countries have a king?"

Not necessarily all kings, but also the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, Emperor Ursus, Demon King Kazdel, and Queen Victoria.

Anyway, that's basically what it means.

Lilica originally wanted to refute that there is no need to talk about Colombia alone, and Casimir and Rem Billiton have no such thing as a king, but at this time, it is better to listen quietly and not interrupt Belinda's narration.

"Wouldn't Victoria be better off if it didn't have a king or a royal family?"

In Belinda's view, the reason why the lions have fallen into their current state is because of their "royal family" status, allowing a country to support such a small group of people and giving them unparalleled privileges.

Born in sorrow and dying in peace.

What better way to describe the lions than this Yan Kingdom proverb?

Although they are not dead yet, in Belinda's view, the moment Victoria, which is about to be torn apart, explodes, is the day when the lions will be liquidated.

"how do you want to do it?"

"I don't know, take your time, I want to continue to stay in Victoria, not as a leader, but just as an ordinary member."

'Start with yourself? '

Although Belinda can't see the real way yet, at least she has begun to feel her way.

"I'll help you...I also have...a friend."

Hearing Lilica's last tease, Belinda, who knew everything she knew, almost fell from here.

She knew that the conversation between herself and Fa Min must have been overheard by the black dog, and if she listened to it, nothing good would happen!

Chapter 1646 The Robbery of the Library

Hill County County Library, built in 1058, has a history of almost 40 years now. Because of the excellent designers at that time, this old building can still shoulder its own responsibilities - collecting hills Books and newspapers in and around the county.

It will still be open to citizens of the Kingdom of Victoria, but ordinary citizens can only watch it here and cannot borrow it. Some sensitive resources will also be blocked on higher floors, and only qualified people can watch it.

Thanks to Hamilton's military style, he never set his sights on the library, which is an area of ​​no value in his opinion, making this place still counted as one of the few small hill counties that has not been occupied by the small hill county infantry regiment. affected institutions.

Horn is naturally not an ordinary person. Even if she does not have the status of a lieutenant in the Victoria Army, she is still the daughter of the Earl of White Wolf. Even if she does not have a title, she cannot be regarded as an ordinary person.

This also gave her the right to set foot on the top floor of Xiaoqiu County, where there are books that cannot be handed over to the public.

Excellent ventilation and a dry environment allow books to be stored here for a long time without maintenance. However, when the horn is inquired according to the book catalog, it is found that there are many missing books here, and they are not complete at all.

After she asked the librarian, she got the answer that the books had been sent for deworming and repairs due to moth infestation, but the horn didn't have too much doubt about it.

Although some books are missing, it doesn't mean that she came here for nothing. There are still valuable clues here, such as the book in front of her.

It records the different types of crossbow bolts used by the Victorians in various time periods.

The crossbow bolt that hit McMartin had a unique pattern on the arrowhead. This does not mean that the person who built the crossbow bolt had nothing to do to carve letters on the arrow. It was just a pattern left by the metal forging.

What this can show is that this crossbow bolt is definitely not from the hands of ordinary craftsmen. It is not only a matter of craftsmanship, but also that ordinary craftsmen cannot obtain such metals.

At the same time, the shape of the arrow also gave her a very familiar feeling. She seemed to have seen similar crossbow arrows somewhere.

After all, crossbows are different from bows, and the arrows used by the two are also absolutely different. The most important thing is that the arrows used in crossbows are much shorter than bows, and the biggest difference is the difference in tail feathers.

There are many kinds of crossbow bolts, including no feathers, double feathers, and small feathers. Different types of crossbows are used in different locations. Most bows are three-feathered, and only a small part use double feathers.

This allows the horn to see from the arrow whether it is a crossbow or a bow. After all, if it does not match, various problems will arise.

She wanted to find out the source of the crossbow, so that she might know who was trying to shoot McMartin.

She didn't wear this crossbow on her body, it was in the bagpipe's hand now, and the bagpipe also received the horn's order to investigate some other things.

In fact, if she could, she would prefer to let Bagpipe do her current task. As her most trusted team member, Bagpipe looks careless but has a delicate mind and can complete this task very well.

But the bagpipes can't make it to this level. Of course, it's okay to break through, but the horns don't want to break the rules easily.

At present, there are not many standard crossbows used by the Victorian army. After all, if there are too many, the pressure on logistics will be too great.

The horn can be sure that this crossbow bolt does not belong to Victoria's standard weapon, and she continues to turn the pages of the book forward according to the vague memory in her heart, allowing time to continue to move forward.

Decades, hundreds of years, when she looked through the books, she still couldn't find what she wanted.

Could it be that I remembered wrongly?

Or is it that what you want is not recorded in this book?

Is it from a foreign country?

There are too many uncertainties, which makes the horn a little helpless, but she still can't be sure that the books she needs are all within the scope of "need maintenance".

However, when she asked where the books were maintained and when they would be sent back, the answer she got was that the books were sent to Border County, and maybe they would come back after a while.

That city has a library that is far larger than the library in Xiaoqiu County, and naturally has a strong book maintenance system. Of course, there is no way for the horn to say anything when it is sent there, and she has no way to confirm it.
