After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

Hearing Princess Hill's sudden reminder, Katerina, who had just thought of this, also frowned. For a while, the atmosphere here became quite depressing, but soon, the girl's brows relaxed. Come,

"Understood, thanks for the reminder, I will pay more attention to them."

"It's good that you understand~"

Seeing that the girl had already realized the problem, Princess Hill stopped talking. After that, the woman once again turned her attention to the battleship not far away, her beautiful eyes circling on the hull of the battleship that was just built.

After looking at it for a while, Princess Hill seemed to have discovered something strange. She pointed to the battleship and asked curiously,

"Almost forgot to ask."

"Katerina, this battleship is made of steel. Doesn't iron sink when it encounters water?"

"Are you sure that a battleship built with hundreds of refined steels can really float on water? Or are you planning to use some magic to make it float?"

Faced with Princess Hill's sudden question, Katerina blinked her eyes, and then, as if she had encountered some trouble, the girl scratched her head in confusion and said,

"This question is more complicated, and it is a bit troublesome to explain clearly......"

At this point, looking at Princess Hill in front of her who was full of curiosity, Katerina sighed as if she had accepted her fate, and then patiently explained,

"If you want to know why a boat made of iron can float on the water, you must first understand a concept."

"Water has a common property by which all objects entering the water have a force which I call . …  buoyancy."

Chapter 92 89. The Church

Located in the southwestern part of the mainland, there stands a mountain range with the highest average altitude in the world, called the Yabuprofen Mountains. This mountain range runs from north to south, with a total length of more than [-] kilometers, almost cutting off the entire continent. In this mountain range, there is the most recognized city in the human world--the city in the clouds [Santa Hera].

As for why St. Hera is the greatest city in the human world, there are two main reasons. On the one hand, it is because this city is the headquarters of the church. It has sacred attributes.

On the other hand, according to the historical records of human beings, during the period when the ancient demon tide was on the rise, various extraordinary species were rampant in the world, and the living environment of human beings was very harsh, and there was a danger of extinction almost at any time. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has always assumed the role of the last barrier of human civilization, which makes this city have extremely lofty historical significance.

Ever since, under the combined effect of many reasons, the city of San Hera has become the greatest city recognized by the human world.

At this moment, when the rising sun breaks through the clouds and sprinkles golden silk threads between the rolling mountains, the pure white city of Saint Hera begins to bloom with a holy brilliance on the side facing the sun. Looking from a distance, It was as if the whole city was shrouded in a halo of seven colors.

As time went by, traces of people's activities began to be seen in the city, and the city that seemed silent at first gradually came alive.

Not long after, a loud bell echoed in the mountains, and countless birds and beasts were startled in the forest, and the dense forest became commotion, as if the whole world was awakened by the bell.

When the bell rang, the whole city came to life completely. Countless figures dressed in the costumes of believers or priests walked out from every corner, and then marched towards the square of the city.

After most of the people had gathered in the square, on top of the tallest building in the whole city---a pure white tower, several old men dressed in bishop's finery successively stood in the round circle on the high platform. The platform shows up.

After a while, the believers standing in the square heard the words of guidance from the tower, and after that, people followed the words of guidance and started their daily morning prayers.

At this time, the morning sun had already jumped out of the clouds, and the unobstructed sunlight illuminated the whole city. The prayers of countless believers gathered together, and the sound waves went straight to the sky. When the pure white city echoed the devout prayers, At times, the world seems to look brighter.

However, at the same time, in a prayer room deep underground in the city, an old man was also praying. However, unlike the bright atmosphere above the square, the area was shrouded in coldness and darkness. A dim oil lamp is providing faint light to the room, so that the place will not be completely swallowed by darkness.

At this moment, the old man standing in the room was holding a book of the church's divine book, facing the god statue in the room, and recited the prayers recorded in the divine book word by word.

Although the environment here is quite harsh, the old man seems to be completing some kind of sacred ceremony, and his attitude is very serious.

"crunch~"

I don't know how long it took, when the old man was about to finish his prayer, the wooden door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then, a figure walked in quickly,

"Judge, the empire has made another move!"

Before the person approached, a hurried voice sounded in the room first, and after hearing the voice in his ears, the old man called the presiding judge paused slightly with his fingers caressing the pages of the divine tome , and then quickly returned to calm.

"Paul~, I remember I taught you, no matter what happens, don't panic. Only by keeping a calm mind can you handle things well. Why can't you always remember?"

After a while, a faint sigh echoed in the room, and upon hearing this sigh, it seemed that the visitor named Paul immediately bent down to the old man, and then responded in a low voice with a somewhat nervous tone. ,

"I'm very sorry, Lord Judge, I didn't intend to forget your teaching, but this time the information is too important, I......"

"Okay, Paul, you don't need to apologize~~" The next moment, before Paul finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and interrupted,

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just trying to tell you that you could have acted better...be careful next time."

At this point, the old man glanced at Paul, whose expression became more tense, and he not only sighed,

"Tell me, what happened to make you panic like this?"

At this moment, upon hearing the old man's words, Paul breathed a sigh of relief first, and after he regained his composure slightly, he responded in a deep voice,

"My lord judge, I just received news that the empire seems to have discovered the secret of the devil's disease. It is now collecting a large number of fruits and vegetables. It is said that it will be made into a fruit and vegetable food that can be preserved for a long time to fight against the devil's disease."

"And according to the feedback from our spies, the empire seems to have made great progress in this matter!"

"...And then?" After listening to the information Paul brought, the old man nodded thoughtfully, and then asked calmly,

"Is that all you want to tell me?"

Facing the overly calm attitude of the old man, Paul seemed a little incomprehensible. After being dazed for a moment, he emphasized with a heavier tone,

"My lord, I want to say that the empire has already understood the origin of the devil's disease, and has also found a way to fight against the devil's disease. Are you... are you not worried at all?"

"What are you worried about?" Looking at Paul with a puzzled face, the old man still looked calm, as if what Paul said was not worth mentioning at all.

"My lord, the devil's disease is an excellent strategy we have always relied on against the empire, and now......"

Regarding the attitude of the old man, Paul almost subconsciously wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the matter again, but before he could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand and interrupted,

"I know, but it's not a big deal."

As he said that, the old man looked at Paul who was full of doubts in his eyes, and then asked in a calm tone,

"Paul, the Church of the Holy Light has spanned more than ten thousand years since its establishment. The history of our church is almost equal to the history of mankind. What do you think ... is what sustains our existence?"

At this moment, upon hearing the old man's question, Paul was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately responded firmly,

"Piety! Kindness! Courage!"

"Devotion to our Lord, goodness to the righteous, and courage to evil."

"It is these lofty truths that our Lord has given us to guide believers in the name of shepherds that have maintained our glory for thousands of years."

"Hehe~" After listening to Paul's speech, the corner of the old man's mouth slowly curled into an arc revealing strong irony.

"Piety~? Kindness~? Courage~?"

"In ancient times, giant beasts were rampant, sects of the gods were everywhere, and chaos pervaded every corner of the world."

"There are countless denominations that have done better than us in those aspects, but in the end we are the only ones who have come so far......Paul, guess why?"

Faced with the old man's sudden question, Paul opened his mouth involuntarily. He wanted to continue to respond according to the normal routine, but after seeing the old man's shining eyes, he finally lowered his head.

"Sorry, Lord Judge, I'm afraid I can't answer your question with my wisdom."

"Ah~~" Hearing Paul's answer, the old man sighed in relief and disappointment, and then he said slowly,

"In that case, let me tell you......"

"The foundation of our existence is neither a sublime truth nor a powerful force, but a believer, every believer who attributes his faith to our Lord."

"As long as the followers of our Lord exist forever, we shall exist forever."

Having said this, the old man paused for a moment, and after glancing at Paul with a puzzled expression on his face, he shook his head and continued,

"Paul, I was very optimistic about you, but now it seems that you still lack some wisdom."

"Forget it, you just need to remember this point...... Believers are the foundation of our existence. For us, as long as we maintain the believers' belief in the Lord, everything else is not important."

"There is no need to pay too much attention to the devil's disease. It is impossible to keep this matter a secret."

"Hehe, in fact, I'm also quite curious. Why did the empire find out the problem until today? It should have discovered the problem earlier, even though it has cultivated so many magicians."

"But, Lord Judge~" Paul, who really couldn't figure out what the old man said, hesitated and said,

"We have always emphasized to our believers that the empire has been cursed by the devil, and now that the empire has found the reason, the empire will definitely not let it go. If the empire announces the truth to our believers, how can we no............"

"It's okay~"

The next moment, before Paul finished speaking, the old man waved his hand vigorously, and then said calmly,

"Even if the empire knows the truth, what's the use of it? The concept of devil disease has been circulating in the world for hundreds of years, and it has already become an unshakable truth in people's hearts. No matter how the empire argues, most people in this world, Will always only cherish what they are willing to believe in."

"To resolve this matter, there is only one thing we have to do, and that is to continue to maintain the believers' faith in our Lord, that's all."

"By the way..." At this point, as if thinking of something, the old man suddenly asked out of curiosity,

"Why did the empire suddenly know the principle of the devil's disease? Could it be that some magical genius appeared in the empire?"

Facing the old man's question, Paul frowned, and then responded in a low voice,

"My lord judge, there is indeed a magic genius, but it is not the empire, but the Kingdom of Florida."

"In the Aldan family of the Azure Sage, a girl awakened the Azure Eye. It was she who discovered the secret of the devil's disease and told the empire about it."

After listening to Paul's answer, the old man squinted his eyes, then murmured thoughtfully,

"Azure eyes~~?"

"Well, it's not surprising. I remember those eyes claim to be able to see through the true meaning of magic. It's normal to discover the secret of devil's disease, but..."

"How did the Aldan family in Florida suddenly get connected with the empire? I remember that there should be no relationship between the two. Could it be that I misremembered?"

Paul immediately responded to the old man's question as if he was talking to himself.

"My lord judge, you remember correctly, the Aldan family does not have any connection with the empire, but the eldest daughter of the Aldan family who has awakened the blue eye recently met with the crown prince of the empire, and the two seem to have reached an agreement. what agreement."

"After that, the empire knew the secret of the devil's disease."

"That's it..." After listening to Paul's answer, the old man nodded slightly, and then, as if he suddenly became interested, he spoke to Paul again,

"About the eldest daughter of the Aldan family, please introduce me. Since she has already stepped on the stage, we still need to give her some respect~"

Facing the old man's request, Paul immediately agreed, and then told the old man all the information about Katerina recently obtained by the church intelligence network.

And as Paul elaborated on Katerina's information one by one, the calm old man suddenly became dignified, especially after hearing some administrative orders issued by Katerina in Port Chris recently, he A creepy gloomy look suddenly appeared in his eyes,

"Wait, Paul, you just said..."

"That girl from Aldan's family, she plans to build a large number of schools in the future, and also plans to hand over valuable knowledge to civilians~?"

At this moment, after seeing the frightening expression of the old man, Paul was a little overwhelmed. He didn't understand why the old man would suddenly care about these "useless" things, but he still nodded,
