Chapter 264: Shocking Conspiracy (Ai)
"Honey, I've finally found you!Wait for me, we'll meet again soon!" Rebecca was thrilled as she read the familiar notes on the parchment.
"I said that Kenobi would use a Beamon Crystal as the energy source for the microphone, and it turned out that his real purpose was to use the Magic Crystal as the energy source for the flying machine that was supposed to send credit. Alfie was heartily amazed, he had carefully studied the sound orb, and was stunned to find the flying machine hidden in it, which made him realize Kenobi's virtuosity again.
"I'll just say how could the teacher let me look for the master without any clues, it turns out that the real identification method is hidden here!" Barnett said excitedly, while respectfully saluting Rebecca, now it can be determined that Rebecca is the person he is looking for, and he can be regarded as having completely completed the three conditions of Kenobi, and can proudly announce that he is Kenobi's real disciple.
"Don't be like this, you're old enough to be my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. Seeing the two thousand-year-old dwarf saluting her, Rebecca didn't have the cheekiness of Alfie.
"So, we will be able to meet the teacher again in a short time?" was so excited that his beard was about to rise, Barnett didn't care so much, in his heart, Rebecca was his teacher, and it had nothing to do with age.
Although Alfie said that he had always been in Kenobi's sights, he hadn't seen Kenobi in 2,000 years.
"I'm not as optimistic as you. Alfie, who had calmed down again, couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on the heads of the two people who were overly excited.
"What do you mean?" asked Rebecca, who was so happy that she couldn't sing and dance.
"As Barnett said earlier, the sounding ball has been ineffective since the Cataclysm. I said that the microphone ball didn't fail because it didn't have energy, it only means that there was something wrong with the other side of the microphone. Alfie calmly analyzed.
"On what basis did you come to this conclusion?" told her that Alfie was right, but Rebecca still couldn't accept the reality.
"Don't forget that the Cataclysm of fifteen years ago destroyed the Duchy of Bavaria, known as the Kingdom of Machines, and that Archduke Augusta lost his trace after that. Alfie looked at the two of them with blazing eyes and said, "The time when Barnett and Mr. Kenobi lost contact was the Cataclysm, and Archduke Augusta disappeared at that time, and both of them happened to be masters of mechanical engineering, and I haven't heard of any conflicts between them, don't these coincidences add up to a problem that you and I already know?"
"Mr. Kenobi is actually the Grand Duke Augusta of Bavaria?" Barnett said in a somewhat dry voice. Although he had told Alfie and the others that he suspected that Kenobi was Augusta, he was only suspicious, and he had absolutely no evidence.
"That's how it should be. Alfie nodded affirmatively, "You said you left Mr. Kenobi in the 104th year of the continental calendar, and Augusta rose around that time. We can basically understand that Mr. Kenobi walked around the continent as Augusta in order to find Rebecca more conveniently, looking for Rebecca. The only thing I can't figure out is why he didn't look for Rebecca as he was?"
Rebecca and Barnett looked at each other, and only those who had actually seen Kenobi for what he really did could understand why Kenobi did it. However, the two tacitly chose to remain silent, and the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.
"You haven't explained what you are based on to conclude that something is wrong with Kenobi's side. Rebecca didn't want to dwell on the subject, the bard was too sharp and clever to keep dwelling, and it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't guess Kenobi's true face from the clues.
"The answer is clear, although the damage caused by the cataclysm is great, the impact on the Iliad Empire is by no means devastating, and I believe that the same is true of the isolated Western Kingdom, and the only one that really suffers is the Duchy of Bavaria, founded by Augusta. Why do you say that?" Alfie asked rhetorically.
"Could it be that this is a long-planned conspiracy against Augusta?" Rebecca naturally came to this conclusion.
"Yes, absolutely!" Alfie said confidently.
"Impossible! When the empire was at its strongest, all four major legions could not shake the Duchy of Bavaria, who had the ability to destroy it overnight?" Barnett couldn't help but side with the Duchy of Bavaria after being convinced that Kenobi and Augusta were the same person.
"I'm not talking about people, but—" Alfie pointed to the sky.
"You mean God, how is that possible?" Barnett was shocked, he didn't expect the cataclysm to be so deeply involved.
"Don't you think that everything that Archduke Augusta of Bavaria has done is shaking the foundations of this world of swords and magic? Think about it, a magical genius who can only appear for decades or even hundreds of years, after decades of penance, can finally reach the realm of a high-level magician, but is easily solved by a bunch of lifeless machines. - Samurai, knight, shaman, warlock and other professions are all like this, in the long run, who will cultivate in a down-to-earth manner, and directly get a powerful mecha to solve everything. ”
Seeing that Rebecca and Barnett both looked thoughtful, Alfie continued: "In fact, the Grand Duke of Bavaria is obviously aware of this, so he deliberately suppressed the military development of machinery, and tried to civilize it as much as possible. On the eve of the cataclysm, mechanical devices can be said to have penetrated into every corner of mainland life, and many people who originally thought they were enjoying themselves were ruthlessly pulled down by mechanical devices. ”
"That's what makes the Grand Duke of Bavaria great!" Barnett said impatiently.
"Yes, but it's also a taboo for the gods. Alfie agreed with Barnett, but he undoubtedly thought much deeper than Barnett.
"Lord gods?" Rebecca was unaccustomed to Alfie referring to the Lord God in the plural.
"Did you notice?" Alfie smiled, "Mr. Kenobi or Grand Duke Augusta is undoubtedly protected by Hemet, the god of machines and craftsmen, so it is only possible to move him with at least two main gods at the same time." ”
"More than two main gods at the same time?" Rebecca and Barnett exclaimed in unison, I really don't know if it was Kenobi's misfortune or glory to be targeted by two main gods at the same time. You must know that even the goddess of magic, Bishutte, who is known as the holy realm of the sanctuary and the strongest under the gods, has never had such an "honor" to be targeted by the gods.
