Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Speaking of which, why are you, a race that can travel through the world, so obsessed with the normal development of the world?"

[Interests are related, you know everything you know, and you don’t know what you don’t know. 】

"You put this here and this!" Claude sputtered, "Tell me something I can understand, I don't even know the standard, how can I help you draw a straight line? To be fair, what the traverser is best at is to break the game, but he asked It's 'to bring the development of the world back on track', if I direct the princes to fill up the land with connected technology and destroy the Theocracy, is this really the right track for the world?"

[It is a "trace". 】

"trace?"

[Yes, they are the "traces" left by your self-proclaimed traversers in this world, and some of these traces will be washed away over time.The sudden sense of incongruity gradually disappears, but some of them absorb the power of time and gradually grow, forcing the world to move in a new direction. In other words, if you can understand it, it is the α world line and the β world line. 】

"Isn't this a natural thing? I don't understand why it needs to be corrected. Even if it enters another world line, will it have any impact on other worlds?"

[Yes, the chaos represented by you traversers will pollute this world.Keeping things in order takes precedence over everything else. 】

"The Riddler got up again..." Claude pouted, "Then the 'trace' left by the previous traverser is the Theocracy, right?"

【maybe. 】

"Buddha, you really have it." Claude shook his head, "I understand a little bit, that is to say, I can leave some 'traces' that did not belong to this world, or that this world should not have now. , but it must be reasonable and compliant, right? It can’t be like that Theocracy, which has obviously affected the progress of human society.”

【Yes. 】

"That's really difficult... But first, let me find out what did that senior do wrong to create this wonderful country like The Church."

Claude opened the "General History of the Mainland" and immersed himself in it with relish.

--------------------------------------

"Assassination? Murder? Formation of a party? What kind of political struggle is this, and it deserves to be called a party struggle? It's so naive, I think tears are about to flow out."

Claude yawned, this kind of history book that read the front and guessed the back is really hard for people to immerse themselves in.

[Have you found the "trace" yet? 】

"No, this book mainly talks about the events after the founding of the empire. The records of the pope who rebelled with the late emperor are a bit sparse, and what the two of them did before is also very rough. I guessed something, but it's a little bit wrong Make sure, I have to find someone who knows more about the Theocracy and ask about it."

Claude looked back at the small building, he believed that the people living here must know the Theocracy very well.

[Someone is here, it should be looking for you. 】

"Ok?"

Claude looked up and saw the man before him walking in front of him.

"Well... Herr Friedrich, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's me."

The man simply knelt on the ground on one knee.

"You seem to have relaxed a lot?" Claude smiled, and it seemed that the other party seemed to have figured it out.

"That's right, regardless of whether you are a member of the Theocracy, you can easily kill me, but you didn't do so. You can only say that you think I am useful to you. Since I am useful, I can survive."

Friedrich was very happy, he was just a little clever, but could he escape from the laboratory, and even fled all the way to the imperial capital, stumbled and made a name for himself, it was the courage of Stud at the critical moment.

Or can we say luck?

"I don't have any ambitions, I just want to live longer, but if I really want to die, I'd rather fight with the people of The Church, and spit on him when I die!"

When the man said this, he didn't have the cynicism he had before, but instead had a sense of solemn oath.

"You people who survived the Church are really carved out of the same mold. I don't know whether to praise your spirit or laugh at your ambition." Claude chuckled, "This is considered a Tell me your terms?"

"Yes, if you are the enemy of the Theocracy, I hope you don't let me die before you meet the Theocracy. If you are a member of the Theocracy, then I am ready to spit and see if you will fight side by side before us!" Give me a break, and I can keep from spitting in your face."

The majestic avenger disappeared, and turned into an extremely bachelor gangster again.

"Okay, then we have made a deal, you are loyal to me, and I guarantee that you will spit on the face of the Theocracy."

Friedrich put his mind to rest with a relieved expression on his face, and he could finally sleep well tonight.

Claude watched him leave.

[It seems that the Theocracy is already your enemy, so what are you going to do next? 】

"How to do it? No matter how you do it, the trust of a prince cannot be let go. Although our Highness Ludwig is a little pure and naive in politics, it is just a perfect cover, isn't it? After all, only the truth can lie To someone."

Claude withdrew his gaze and calmly turned to the next page of the history book.

"Let me teach that His Royal Highness Augustus who thinks he has the chance to win, and tell him what it means to seize the heirloom!"

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Someone opened it, but I won't say who it is

"Very well, that's all for today's practice."

Claude retracted the practice sword and looked at the panting girl.

"Yes, Instructor."

Lina struggled to catch her breath.

Claude had been living in Brunhildestrasse for a week.

With the help of Friedrich, he used the money he got to successfully buy a small building next to him and settled down. During this time, he was mainly trying to supplement the basic common sense of the world and practice knight skills. Basic sword skills and abilities.

Ms. Eleno has already gone to the place given by Claude. She wants to collect her husband's body and entrusts Lina to take care of Claude for a period of time. She said that she will come back soon, but Claude knows that this will happen soon. It was very slow, because the other party must be able to find the seriously injured Adelin, and then he had to accompany him there until he could at least walk on the ground before returning.

So Claude has now started to take care of Lina's basic necessities of life, and has continued her knight training at her request, but Claude himself is a monk halfway through, and he can only teach basic swordsmanship, and the rest depends on He gave the girl a trick to show that he was not just for nothing.

The girl's talent is a bit surprising. At least regardless of her physique, her swordsmanship has progressed rapidly. Claude can almost see the increase in the number of tricks she can fight him every day. Obviously, the girl has not been idle in the past few years.

This made Claude a little appreciative. At least the other party didn't just want to be a vase ready to marry. He still had heart and ambition, which made it possible for him to operate.

"Lina, His Royal Highness Ludwig will return to the imperial capital tomorrow, you prepare, I will take you to His Royal Highness's manor."

"Hey? Am I going too?" The girl was a little surprised.

"Go, because I don't worry about you staying here alone. I may have to follow His Highness next, so I can't take care of you for the time being. It's safer to live in His Highness's manor in the suburbs, so you don't have to worry about someone coming to arrest you. Arrest, I can also take care of one or two by the way."

Claude nodded. This was his original plan. Even if Eleanor and Adelin came back, they wouldn't think that what he did was wrong. Coupled with Ludwig's consistent character, he would not refuse.

"Ok."

"Then rest early today. I'll go back first. If you have anything to do, just call me."

Claude was about to leave, but was stopped by Lina

"Knight Claude, thank you."

"My pleasure, ma'am."

Looking at the boy's back, the girl struggled a little in her eyes, but in the end they were overshadowed by a firm light.

----------------------------------

The ceremony for Ludwig's return to the imperial capital was not grand, and could even be called simple.

There was no guard of honor clearing the way, no cheering crowd, no flower petals swayed by enthusiastic girls, just a very simple convoy walking along the road.

Wearing the standard armor of the Lightning Knights, Claude rode in line with the knights who stayed behind in the manor, waiting for their leader on the side of the road.

The young man quietly looked at a carriage from the corner of his eye, which came directly from the manor, and the driver was Keitel, the housekeeper.

When Ludwig returned to the imperial capital, he would definitely not be able to go back to his manor first. He must go to the palace first. Then someone came out of the manor at this time just to meet him a little earlier, and the butler was driving the car himself. If it wasn't for his wife , is his most important staff.

Sure enough, after the Third Prince's convoy arrived, an old man got out of the carriage. Although he had silver hair, he looked strong and walked into His Highness's carriage in two or three steps.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Ludwig has become less naive because of this incident. He knows that he should discuss it with his counselors before meeting His Majesty."

[Isn't this a good thing for you? 】

"Of course it's a good thing. After all, it's easy to use naively, but it's really torture to let him take the position."

Because Claude doesn't have his own subordinates yet, it doesn't seem like a lonely person representing a team, so he is now a member of Ludwig's guard. They have all met before, and everyone treats him He was more friendly. After all, he brought someone to save his life. Even Ernst, the captain of the guards, nodded and said hello to him.

Just outside the gate of the palace, the old man got off Ludwig's carriage, said something to the guard next to him, and returned to the carriage he was sitting in.

【The old man said he wanted to see you. 】

Claude raised his eyebrows without looking back.

"Mr. Kaos, Mr. Jung wants to see you."

"Mr. Jung?" The boy pretended to be confused.

"That old gentleman, he is His Highness's teacher." Then the guard lowered his voice, "Whatever you say in front of him, don't lie."

With a thought in his heart, Claude handed over his horse to the guards, and then walked towards the carriage.

Opening the car door, there is no luxurious decoration or fancy food inside, only a hard and cold bench. The old man leaned on the crutch in his hand, and his sharp eyes swept over him, as if he would use that steel crutch to blow him up in the next second. Cloud's head.

"Please sit down, Mr. Kaos."

But the old man's sternness only lasted for a moment, and then he became kind, pointing to the bench opposite him.

"Hello, Mr. Jung."

Claude seemed polite, but he was still a little confused about what the other person was thinking.

[There is a magic attack, it seems to be detecting your heartbeat and blood flow. 】

It turned out to be a human lie detector.

Claude is determined.

[Do you need my help to block it? 】

"No, it's just that when I notify you later, let my blood flow faster, and then my heart beat faster, as if I were lying."

【? 】

"No way, I can do sincere deception, but I can't do false lies. Too dedicated is like this."

With a smile and just the right doubts on his face, Claude waited for the next words of the third prince teacher.

"This time, Ludwig was able to escape unscathed, thanks to you delivering the letter and opening the way with reinforcements."

"No, actually I didn't do anything. It's because Miss Dania is willing to help with all her strength. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you even if I deliver the letter."

Claude smiled honestly.

"Really? But I think it seems that you are the one who deserves the most credit. After all, you persuaded Dania Saxon to cooperate with you to save Her Royal Highness Ludwig, didn't you?"

'The heart skipped a beat, and the blood flow accelerated. '

Claude shook his hand slightly, and then it seemed as if nothing had happened, the expression of confusion was still mixed with the smile just now.

"Mr. Jung, you, what are you talking about?"

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Sincere Deceit

'Sure enough, he's still a young man, and if he cheats casually, his flaws will be exposed. '

Jung still had that kind expression on his face. He didn't mind what kind of means Claude used, even if it was sleeping clothes. After all, he saved Ludwig, and the result was in front of him , It is meaningless to understand how the process is tortuous.

All he cared about was Claude.

A 16-year-old justice knight, an absolute genius boy, it is of course a good thing that such a person is willing to join Ludwig's command.

But if it's just strength, then this joining is nothing more than that. He will be admitted to the Imperial Military University and graduate, as Ludwig promised, and then he will either stay in the Lightning Knights and follow Ludwig. His Highness spent his entire life in the fief, either joining the army, and then gradually washing away the traces of power on his body, becoming an imperial general.

That's why Jung tested him alone. He had to know whether this young man's chivalry and luck surpassed ordinary people, or did he have a thoughtful mind?

'Looks like luck, it's the latter. '

Jung's smile became more cordial: "Maybe I asked too directly. What I want to ask is, why would Miss Dania be willing to be kidnapped by you? The Grand Duke of Saxony is partial to the eldest prince. It is well known that he It is impossible and impossible for your daughter to make any preparations to rescue His Royal Highness Ludwig. You said that she wants to take the initiative to cooperate with you to save His Royal Highness. It is impossible, because you are a variable that no one can think of. "

Claude blinked, rubbed his fingers "unconsciously", then changed his face back and forth, and finally supported his head with a wry smile.

"I finally understand why before I boarded your carriage, the big brother guard told me, 'Don't lie in front of Mr. Jung'. Your wisdom and sharpness really make me have nowhere to hide."

He took a deep breath, then let it out in a long breath, and began to explain his actions and words.

"I know that I can't keep up with sending letters, so the only way is to call for reinforcements, but I don't have tokens in my hand, and I don't have the ability to swipe my face like Knight Adelin, and I don't know who is trustworthy or not. So I can only think of the simplest solution - that is to take a large group of knights who have been irritated by me, and directly crash into the passageway where His Highness is. Even if His Highness is not attacked, I can rely on that letter Obtain the protection of His Highness."

"So Miss Dania is also a variable that you didn't guess?"

"You're right. When I was in the Grand Duke's castle, I originally wanted to make a fuss. After I met Miss Dania, I was also debating whether to kidnap her. After all, it's easy for two people to be caught up on horseback. Yes, and fortunately, Miss Dania's love and loyalty to the empire made her choose to trust me, so the future can be so smooth."

Claude said honestly.
