Chapter 361 The Mystery Under the Stratum
Casting crowns, as the name suggests, is to recast the crowns as silhouettes together, and then restore their prototypes before they split.

When he had just left Stade, Colin had already heard about the existence of this road from Nancy, but he never thought that the merger of silhouettes would be carried out in the simplest and most brutal way.And two centuries ago, it led to the "70 Years of Crown War" that affected the entire territory of the alliance and even the entire central mainland.

The Ankh collect crowns not at all to rule the world, but to make them kill each other.

Insignificant mortals are able to develop such a heaven-swallowing heart in order to march towards the third curtain.

But all this ambitious work came to an abrupt end with the flimsy "Treaty of Arms of Arms".

Although Emil suggested that Colin investigate it by himself, without the on-site guarantee from the 'commander', Colin's own authority alone would not be able to obtain materials from Building No. [-].Besides, the dormitory is not equipped with a red letter instrument at all, so now Ke Lin can only grab Emil to get as much information as possible.

But judging from the results, Emil's knowledge of the 70-year secret past is only a few sentences, which may be memorized from some book.If he keeps asking questions one after another seriously, he will soon reveal his truth.

"If you want to ask why you stopped... probably because of the bad consequences of playing the game," Emil said with a little hesitation.

"More specifically?" Colin continued to ask a little funny, feeling that the Emil at this time was like a student who had been drawn from the history book.

"Like, uh... hiss."

After pondering for a while, he deduced with the professional thinking of a foreign intelligence officer:
"For example, the people in the colonies are not happy?"

But when will the alliance put people other than Anhe in their eyes?Ke Lin shook his head, thinking that those princes must not have signed the "Treaty of Cessation of War" because of this.

"Forget it, you'd better let me go." Emil said with a wry smile, "I shouldn't have dozed off in the history class of the training camp...although that was almost ten years ago."

Colin spread his hands, saying that he would spare him for the time being. He was not in the mood to chat for the time being, so he planned to go upstairs by himself.Before parting, Emil said to Colin:

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Colin looked back at him.

"Ruy seemed to be looking for you a few days ago, and Ellie was a little worried. After all, Danalo seems to be in trouble." He thought about it and said:
"If it's convenient, you might as well greet them with a secret letter. After all, we already regard you as one of our own, so..."

Therefore, I don't want what happened to Vera to repeat itself one day.

Colin originally just wanted to go upstairs and return to his room in a hurry. After hearing these words, he stood still and thought about it, and said:

"Well, I will."

This small pigeon dung investigation department is quite humane.

…………

After locking the door, Colin leaned quietly behind the door, but couldn't stop thinking about it.

Compared with the existence of the "70 Years of Casting the Crown War", what shocked him even more was that he knew nothing about such a major historical event.

Before the emir mentioned it today, he had not seen any clues about this war in any public historical materials.This fact makes Colin can't help but continue to imagine: besides it, how many secrets are hidden under all the historical common sense taken for granted by ordinary people.

Layers upon layers of dense levels are like strata that are continuously piled up.You stand on the endless field ridges on the surface, thinking that what you ignore at most are some corner details, but in the end, it turns out that right under your feet, there has been a major event like the 70 Years War buried deep.

Only a few can reveal the secrets beneath the surface of the world, while most are just a sleepy dream.

With this clue, many isolated historical events in Colin's mind were connected in series. The information obtained from Nancy and Kane, and perhaps the information intercepted from the Holy One Theological Seminary, it turned out that many of them were It's just a footnote to this 70-year war—even, the entire history of Ankh in the New Era was cut in two by this war—in the pre-war era from the first to fourth centuries, all the actions of the alliance were nothing more than The other quadrants plunder the crown.Countless half-robber, half-soldier pioneers like the first generation Edmund poured out of the former border one after another, inserting the tree fire emblem all over every inch of land in the central continent. It is the symbol of the Holy King family. A stick figure of a tree being rolled on a tree and a flame being lit with divine blood.

Then, in the post-war era from the fifth century to the present, the princes of Anhe signed the "Treaty of Cessation of War" and ended the 70-year-long battle of casting crowns. quagmire.For unknown reasons, the tree fire emblem also disappeared everywhere in the territory of the alliance.Since then, the Anhe people have not seized a crown from other quadrants, and the traces of the 70 Years War have been erased in the country. Also since then, competitors such as the Iceni Empire have begun to catch up with the alliance. , the problems of the overseas colonies became increasingly irrepressible.Until the first year of this century, rumors that "the alliance will be destroyed in 633 of the new calendar" began to spread everywhere, and it led to a farce-like prophecy.

So, is this the panorama buried deep under the ground?
No, far from it.

Even if we don't talk about the decline and recovery of "Su", or events related to the entire universe such as the ascension of the whole, if you think about it carefully, you will find that even how the alliance was born is itself a mystery.

Ke Lin didn't know how sophisticated the information was under the manipulation of the princes of Anhe to bury the main line of history with true and false stories, making it so fragmented.

In a world where all records are in flux, it might not be impossible to completely bury the truth.

But is it really worth it?
Under this level of secrecy, not to mention other people, even the core personnel of the intelligence department such as Ellie, Rui, and Emil can only see messy and incomplete information, so they will never know why they are fighting .

There can be no true loyalty if you don't know why you are fighting.Or just like the spies in Gallo Hall who didn't know the whole picture, when the real change came, everyone could only stay in place and be at a loss.

What kind of truth is it that is worth such a costly, even shameful, hiding.

Why, the secrets of heaven are always so unrevealable.

In the corner of the room, the doll of Boyd Ives is quietly leaning against the wall, with ruby ​​eyes open with a motionless expression, like a beautiful corpse that has been dead for a long time.Because of Colin's departure and Pale Land's deep sleep, this body in home clothes has been lying here for six or seven days, but there is no skin flakes or dust on it.

At this time, Bod Ives has not yet woken up.But Colin stared at the body on the ground and couldn't help thinking in his heart, what would happen if Boyd Ives really swallowed the Bird of Light in the Grand Theater.

The fall of the first crown in two centuries.

Will the quietly revived pale earth tear open the first crack in the Treaty of Arms?
