Judging from his achievements and Bai Mushu's miserable condition, he succeeded more than once. How could he, who possessed such amazing wisdom, die from a minor illness?
Look at Pusiangsi. She is just a "little pharmacist". She can develop effective medicines for many diseases.
This is also the reason why Sixus often goes to the Dream Corridor. Doctors and pharmacists are naturally inseparable.
Compared with the origin of the world, the knowledge that Pusians possessed was definitely insignificant. In this respect, she should be inferior to Richard. If Richard was willing, he could recover from the cold he had at that time with just some medicine.
"He died on purpose."
Xia Yibing said firmly.
"He knew that the matter was exposed, especially as you said - you also saw Charuni confronting him face to face. He obviously intended to use death to 'cleanse' this suspicion. I think this is why later generations mentioned him with a good name."
Because with his death, those suspicions were cut off and there was basically no way to verify them further.
Although Charuni was certain that something had influenced Richard and turned him insane, as long as he couldn't find that thing, he had no evidence.
It was impossible for him to fabricate something out of thin air and say that it had poisoned the national teacher and prime minister. Richard had a high reputation at the time. Doing so would do no good and would instead alienate many ministers.
Then the only option is to downplay the impact, and then as time goes by, "that thing" has not continued to cause trouble, and maybe gradually, Charuni will forget about it.
It was not until he was dying that he recalled that this was a hidden danger for Alvin, so he specifically brought it up and wanted to seek help from Hitzfeld, the "God's Eye".
But Hitzfeld's hypothesis is even more daring.
"I doubt he's dead."
Xia Yibing stopped rubbing her back.
"It's possible that he is not dead... Because there is one thing I still can't figure out, that is how the 'Light of Salvation' knew the information about the crown."
Hitzfeld was still immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself.
"At first I speculated that Richard passed this news to his descendants, that is, Barish's descendants. But on the one hand, according to the information I found, the Barishes after him were mediocre and not capable of taking on such a task. On the other hand... you have also checked Barish, right?"
"Yes." Xia Yibing nodded.
"Nothing?"
"Yes." He continued to nod.
"That's the problem." The girl nodded. "After more than forty years of planning, the successor can't be a young man... After checking that all the Barish children are fine, including that Ron Barish, then there must be 'dead people', right?"
“…I really didn’t think about that.”
Xia Yibing pulled up a smile, and her hands naturally extended forward along with the lubrication of the soap.
Taking a bath to generate inspiration is a good habit.
She planned to reward her angel well.
Chapter 62 Hint
As a mechanical apostle, Daryl is very sensitive to time.
She has always recorded the time for various things, such as how long it takes for the little master to cook a certain dish... The time record can be accurate to the second, and Daryl can make an analysis based on why the same dish is off by a few seconds... Which step is different, which step wastes time, and whether the speed of time affects the quality of the dish - that is, whether the taster's evaluation of it affects it.
So naturally, she would also record the time Hitzfeld took to take a shower. Daryl thought this was more important than recording the time it took to prepare dishes, because it could more intuitively infer whether Hitzfeld was ill.
"Two hours and six minutes, and another thirty-six seconds until you open the door."
When Xia Yibing opened the door while hugging the weak girl, this was the exact time announcement that he heard.
"I must remind you, Lord Emar. If you have no plans to have children, this frequency of lovemaking is a bit excessive."
"......?" Xia Yibing suspected that she was dazed by the steam. After taking a hot shower, she was actually accused by a robot of doing something that only humans were qualified to do.
"Do you have any idea of gender identity, Ms. Robot?" She retorted bluntly, "I saw Aisuen bought you a skirt last time... What I mean is, if you think you are qualified to wear such clothes, then you'd better check your crotch to see if there is a screw of any form embedded there."
"Huh?" No matter how slow Daryl was, her expression changed when she heard this.
"..." Hitzfeld had been leaning in the woman's arms without the strength to move. Now he was shocked, angry, and wanted to laugh.
This idiot... How can you mock a robot like this?
She seemed to see a great flood called "The Omnic Crisis". She herself turned into a dam to block the flood's path to human civilization, while a fool named Xia Wusha-Imaer was digging and chiseling the wall under the dam.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Yibing didn't feel the atmosphere was different at all and continued to mock the robot, "We are all 'believers' under her system, and my rank is higher than yours. Do you want to resist me?"
“……” Daryl pouted and said nothing, looking like she wanted to swear and hit someone but didn’t dare.
Xia Yibing was very satisfied with her performance, and took Hitzfeld back to the bedroom in a triumphant manner.
After a while, several screams were heard from the bedroom.
After a while, Hitzfeld came out in pajamas, took Daryl to the study, and comforted her, "Xia has a bit of a temper... Even though she's reliable most of the time, she can be like a child sometimes."
"I won't argue with stupid people." Daryl said angrily, "Since she is quite capable and has the ability to protect His Highness, I won't argue with her this time."
Daryl had a bad temper, but she really didn't hold a grudge if she said she wasn't angry. Seeing this, Hitzfeld finally felt relieved and found her some books on sociology and biology to help her continue to understand humans, and then quietly returned to the bedroom.
This time, she was probably too tired, and it was almost dark when she woke up. After getting up, she habitually touched the side, and felt that it was empty, and immediately guessed that Xia Yibing had gone to buy her food.
No - what time is it now?
When he opened his eyes, Hitzfeld found a blood crystal crow squatting on the quilt covering his chest.
Hitzfeld: Σ0д0! ?
Blood Crystal Crow:?θ?
Blood Crystal Crow: "Finally you woke up, little detective. Your sweetheart asked me to inform you that she has to go out on an urgent mission. The food she bought for you is in the kitchen. You can heat it up and eat it yourself."
"Okay, thank you..." He thanked her politely out of reflex, but halfway through, Hitzfeld realized something was wrong, "Wait... When did you two become so close?"
Having lived together for so long, she knew Xia Yibing's personality very well. To put it simply, it was about protecting her food, well, it was about protecting her food in a special sense. That is, women would be very concerned about having a third person at home when doing certain things.
If asked why, she said it made her feel uncomfortable. If Daryl was just a robot and could be ignored to a certain extent, then the Blood Crystal Crow was a real "bulb" and "peeping". Therefore, she had always been hostile to the Blood Crystal Crow.
It is understandable if you think about it. Although this thing is just a drop of blood, and logically the main body is of the same gender, since Xia Yibing herself has obtained her current life as a same-sex person, who can guarantee that the Blood Crystal Crow will not become a third party?
As for what the Blood Crystal Crow said, "I'm not interested in your petty fights" and "Don't worry, I'm sleeping every time you do something", Xia Yibing didn't believe it at all and thought she had no evidence to prove it.
Without Hitzfeld's mediation, there would be basically no positive communication between the two sides. It would be good enough if they could communicate alone without arguing, let alone asking one party to help the other party pass on the message.
"How should I know?" The Blood Crystal Crow looked at him with an expression of idiocy, then raised his neck and twisted it, "Maybe she finally understood how great the 'Blood King' is... and how insignificant she is~"
Anyway, this definitely won’t be the reason.
Hitzfeld was too lazy to think about it, so he got up and washed up, brushing his teeth in front of the mirror with his right hand and unfolding the note the woman had left on the side of the mirror with his left hand.
[I went out to do some work, and I bought you a roast chicken, remember to eat it.]
It’s a message in her style...
"By the way." The Blood Crystal Crow flapped its wings and flew to the mirror, and said to the girl from above, "During the time you were asleep, someone sent you letters. The mechanical maid collected them for you and placed them on the big table."
"I see." Hitzfeld drank some water, gargled and spit it out, then asked, "Where's Daryl? What is she doing now?"
"Drawings."
"Mechanical Yang blueprint?"
"Yes."
"Did she have an idea so quickly?" Hitzfeld was a little surprised.
Alwin seemed to have mentioned that this was a big project, and she thought it would take several visits to get a rough draft, but Daryl already had an idea today?
"Machines always understand machines better." Blood Crystal Crow said sarcastically, "To be honest, Sarah's development is much more backward than I thought."
"how to say?"
"Let me put it this way. The standard of living enjoyed by the Serran people before the Grey Mist descended was higher than that enjoyed by the Sara people today."
"Did you master electricity at that time?"
"Not only have we mastered it, we can even use high-power generators to propel the island into the air."
Hitzfeld thought about the floating city in Elsa Continent and didn't think she was bragging.
Various data, rumors, including the images she saw with her divine eyes, all indicate that the "floating city technology" currently left in Aisha Continent originated from the Kingdom of the Sun God.
According to legend, the Kingdom of the Sun God always floats in the sky, which means that the Kingdom of the Sun God is a huge floating city, as big as a continent or even a planet. Compared with it, the floating city in Aisha Continent is just an abandoned debris.
Even the fragments have such an advanced energy system. The real Kingdom of the Sun God must have entered an era where magic and technology are combined.
"To restrict large-volume objects from taking off, we only need to solve a few factors. The most critical ones are gravity and power." Blood Crystal Crow continued to boast, "The energy controlled by Harwin is equal to that of a sun. She is the sun itself, and even more than the sun. She also has stronger gravity and infinite power. You can imagine such a scene... When there is no energy to restrict the development of technology, how fast can an empire or a civilization advance?"
"...You mean," Hitzfeld couldn't help but interrupt, "Is the Kingdom of the Sun God actually a Dyson Sphere?"
"? What is a 'Dyson Sphere'?"
“That’s it—” Hitzfeld raised an index finger.
"Forget it, I don't know much about this."
However, Hitzfeld could more or less imagine the scenario described by Ms. Yusilian, where there were no energy constraints.
With the sun as energy, many impossible things become possible. Just like the joke on Earth that "a brick can fly if it has enough power", anything can be sent into the sky as long as there is enough power.
"Try hard, little Annie."
The Blood Crystal Crow flapped its wings and prepared to slip away.
Before washing up, Hitzfeld heated up the roast chicken in the oven. It smelled the fragrance and wanted to taste it first.
"Everything that has left a trace in Namiya, that knowledge, its principles will be stored in the mother tree."
"Find the crown, and you can bring the changes you want to this civilization."
In the bathroom, Hitzfeld stared at the traces of its flight, thoughtfully.
Ms. Yusilian seemed to guess that I had some troubles that I had always wanted to achieve but was unable to do so due to the constraints of the times.
Was she really trying to comfort me? Something from the incident on the beach?
Or……
She was warning me of something else...
Chapter 63 Three Letters
Xia Yibing bought a whole chicken. Hitzfeld couldn't eat that much, so he gave a large portion to Blood Crystal Crow and Daryl.
Mechanical apostles can also eat. They can grind food and decompose it to supplement the biological part of their body connected to the heart. However, they do not have a sense of taste like humans, so everything Daryl eats tastes like chewing wax.
After eating, she found the three letters that Daryl had received during her coma. While opening them, she looked up at the telephone in the corner, thinking that this thing seemed to have rang very few times since it was installed.
The first letter was from Alvin.
The young king answered her confusion at the beginning, saying that she knew she had stayed up all night in the White Shadow Palace and would definitely need to rest after returning, so she specifically instructed several departments that if they had anything to contact her about, they must not use the phone call.
"He's a count after all." Hitzfeld laughed at himself.
When she first came to Sara, she could be said to have no one to rely on except her wife, and she had to do everything by herself.
And now? She can even rest comfortably at home when there is a case to investigate. All intelligence and information will be collected and sent to her by Shadow Lion and other departments. In comparison, it is much easier.
But she didn't think it was a good thing.
Let me put it this way... Even if everyone in Sarah treated her as a count, she herself would not really think of herself as a noble.
The information investigated by others is different from the information investigated by oneself. Especially since she has divine eyes, she can see the historical truth that others cannot see at the scene.
Then why did she have this mentality and yet often indulge, or even pamper Xia Yibing during this period of time?
Of course it’s because this case is special.
It involves the "Purple Sapphire Gold Crown". This replica of the ancient artifact almost abolished the backtracking function of the Divine Eye. The information she could get by going to the scene would hardly be more than what she could get by reading the summary at home.
In addition, she is already a count, and she has attracted countless attention and gazes. There are even ministers in the court who want to refer to her movements to infer what the White Shadow Palace is thinking, so she cannot act rashly.
[I went to ask Ruth today. She investigated the archives of the Tree People and found information that my father did express that he was not feeling well after waking up from the dream.]
[In addition, I also checked the palace records. The data shows that on the same day of the same year, every time my father asked Ruth for help with strange dreams, some servants in the palace would be seriously ill and bedridden.]
[This incident did not cause any bad consequences. At most, it was a minor illness caused by physical weakness. After a few days of recuperation, he recovered. Therefore, it did not arouse any suspicion.]
At the end of the letter, Alvin carefully asked her if she could bring Director Xia with her next time.
It's basically asking the keeper about the ceremony.
Hitzfeld thought.
