People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

"Will the true dragon definitely agree?"

"Then shall I go back and report back and give it a try?"

Walking out of the lobby with an incredulous look on her face, Ning Ciqiu held the brocade box in her hands and suddenly felt that her understanding of Ernst had reached a new level.

A peculiar source stone was exchanged for the Year Beast that was causing the Great Yan Dynasty a lot of trouble.

This is really unbelievable!

Of course, Ning Ciqiu didn't think the exchange was unworthy; on the contrary, she thought it was extremely worthwhile!

She didn't know if the Originium was useful, or what its use was. She also didn't know if this was the treasure His Majesty the True Dragon desired. But the Year Beast was definitely not the treasure the True Dragon wanted!

The Yan Kingdom has been troubled by the problem of the Sui Beast for thousands of years. Even the Old Celestial Master once said that killing the Sui Beast is possible, but killing it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. In other words, even if the Yan Kingdom defeats the Sui Beast this time, it is highly likely that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will only be able to move the Sui Beast's grave.

There is still a possibility that He might rise from the dead, and the possibility is not small.

Ning Ciqiu didn't know what Zhenlong and the Grand Tutor were thinking, but at least she herself was having a headache over this issue.

Though of humble status, she dared not forget her duty to the nation; how could she not wish to solve the problem of the Sui beast once and for all?

Now, Ernst is actually going to take the Year Beast away!

Kal'tsit might have thought Ernst was collecting stamps. Yeragand might have thought Ernst was adding guests to a lavish banquet, but to Ning Ciqiu, the Vice Minister of Rites of the Great Yan Dynasty…

Greatness needs no further explanation!

Chapter 986 You need to find a problem and solve it.

"I don't understand. (Fenghua accent)"

Chairman Kal'tsit... seven... cough cough, it was Kal'tsit's face that carried a clear sense of confusion, (?

"Lord Ernst, you're just handing over the first Originium to the Yan Kingdom like this?"

"Isn't this fulfilling one of the doctor's wishes?"

Ernst waved his hand, a gesture that meant not that it was impossible, but that no further explanation was needed.

As everyone knows, he has always been exceptionally kind to his own people.

The Doctor thought it was a good idea to have Kal'tsit persuade Da Yan to release Sui, but Ernst felt that it would be a bit difficult for our lovely old lynx.

The people of Yan are a rather stubborn bunch. There are some things that they actually think are a nuisance, and they might not even care about them before, and might even spit on them when they pass by. But once someone openly expresses the idea of ​​"If you don't want it, give it to me," they will instinctively refuse to give it to them.

This doesn't mean they'll suddenly become very protective of this thing; they're just possessive of their food.

Food possessiveness, huh? Send it here!

Ernst does have the ability to get them all to send their messages, but the problem is, while he can, it's unnecessary.

The only time Ernst ever used his connections to vent his anger was against Agor.

Agor is arrogant and unaware of his own limitations, fearing power but not gratitude. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think that just because they've been fishing in the sea for so many years, they can get involved in the top-level matches!

So, on that occasion, the great director Precys personally directed an episode—The Shard High Energy Meeting, a love letter from the Originium Disaster to Agor!

The effect was remarkable, with box office revenue seemingly surpassing any film in Terra film history. The Agorians were all moved to tears after watching it! They were practically shouting "Loyalty!" and "Gratitude!"

They also produced a young player named Heratia.

But one code equals another.

The people of Yan treated him fairly well.

Although Zhenlong initially used riddles in Longmen, it was later proven to be understandable—he was secretly plotting to betray his elder brother, so naturally he couldn't be too explicit. However, upon arriving at Baizhao, he immediately dropped the act. Several secret meetings and court discussions made Ernst, who had been prepared to climb the ranks from the bottom of the court, feel somewhat uneasy when he finally met Zhenlong!

The progress is a bit too fast; the other side is genuinely not used to it!

The last time Ernst encountered such a simple, unpretentious, determined, and skillful leader was the last time!

Oh, it hasn't been that long. Emperor Fyodor of Ursus is not bad either.

Since the other party's attitude was good, Ernst was the kind of person who always reciprocated kindness. If someone treated him well, he would naturally return the favor.

The imperial court sent Miss Ning Ciqiu, who had a good relationship with him, as an intermediary, offering him an uncapped promise to reclaim the original Originium. Besides, this was a wish of the Doctor, so why should Ernst think too much? He gave it to him without hesitation.

Moreover, he wasn't really doing Yan Guo a favor entirely out of "face".

“Kal'tsit, you also know what conditions are required to use the original Originium.”

Ernst shrugged.

"Where is that black crown now?"

Kal'tsit was slightly taken aback, but then she understood.

Others might say they don't know the answer to this question, but she knows it better than anyone else.

"One on Amiya's head, and one on Princess Theresa's head."

The Black Crown was split in two during the Londinium incident, in the presence of Kal'tsit and others. When Theresa later surrendered to Kazdelnia, she did not hide this fact.

It was at that time that Ernst learned that the Black Crown "could be more than one".

This thing is a user-friendly terminal designed to help ancient civilizations revive after a period of decline. There's only one, so what? Did the ancient civilization assume that only one person survived?

Of course that's impossible.

So theoretically speaking, as long as you can get the Black Crown and gain access, it's not impossible for it to split into a second, a third, or even a hundredth one!

Of course, this varies from user to user. Currently, only a handful of people from the prehistoric civilizations, including Kal'tsit, know about this. Among the Terra civilization, apart from Theresa, the "Terra Originium Domain God (True)", who may have noticed this and thus made a copy, the others are probably completely unaware of this information.

"now it's right."

Ernst nodded.

"So, even if they got it, they couldn't use it, right?"

"Not entirely, Lord Ernst."

Kal'tsit hesitated for a moment before explaining.

"There are more ways to activate the original Originium than just the survival of civilization. The survival of civilization is just the simplest one, and it doesn't require any additional cost."

"Back in Lentinium, the Blood Demon Lord Ducarre activated [Anana] at the cost of his life. In the ancient legends of Yan Kingdom, [Nuwa's Relic] was also activated by the Empress to repair the damaged isolation layer in the sky."

"In other words, if they are willing to pay the price of their lives, some of Terra's powerful individuals are not entirely incapable of activating the original Originium."

Ernst nodded.

He knew this, and Zhenlong probably knew it too.

But as Kal'tsit said, this comes at the cost of "life".

In Terra, a world so utterly inhumane in its cruelty, human life is cheap as dust. Yet, the people possess a terrifyingly high level of philosophical understanding, and many are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. But whether this includes leaders is another matter entirely.

The only leader Ernst has encountered who is suspected of "self-destructing for the country" is the Duke of Wellington.

Moreover, Ernst did not believe that after resolving the issue of the Year Beast, there was any other problem in the Great Yan Dynasty that required the emperor who possessed the remnants of Nuwa to self-destruct in order to solve.

Furthermore, if the [Wu Relic] had no appeal or value to the Yan Kingdom, why would the True Dragon send Ning Ciqiu to exchange it? Then this deal would have been invalid from the start!

This is equivalent to him and Zhenlong simultaneously handing each other something they didn't really need, in exchange for something the other had that was somewhat useful to them.

"This is not needed!"

Kal'tsit pursed her lips.

Although Ernst's actions were somewhat inappropriate in her opinion, she couldn't say anything more since he had already made his choice.

She had only one question at the end:

"Does Lord Precys agree to this?"

Kal'tsit is very certain and certain that "Treasure" and Precyth have a very good relationship.

They were so close that they conspired to scare her, a kitten tens of thousands of years old, on the top floor of The Shard! She almost gave her system a heart attack!

If we accept the "treasure" theory, the Originium originally belonged to him as a "treasure." Now that he has finally managed to get one back, it has been "taken away" by the Yan Kingdom. Will Precys just sit idly by?

Not every person from prehistoric civilizations is as reasonable as "Treasure." At least Kessir believes that Prysus is not such a reasonable person.

If she stood up and slapped Yan Guo twice, that would be a real mess.

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, Ernst, who had been responding instantly, suddenly fell silent for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.

But this brief hesitation did not last long, and he quickly replied, "She has no objections."

"Or rather, she seemed to be hinting at something... never mind, it's nothing."

Ernst pursed his lips.

Kal'tsit blinked, her eyes visibly turning red.

No, what is it implying?

Why did you stop halfway through your sentence?

In my life, I hate two kinds of people the most: those who don't listen to me, those who don't heed the advice of elders, and those who suffer the consequences!

The other type is the person who doesn't finish what they're saying. Why are you hiding it from me? A riddle teller? Who taught you that?! You haven't learned anything good!

Ernst ignored Kal'tsit, whose eyes clearly said "I'm curious!", and instead looked at the Doctor.

"Doctor, before coming to Jingyu's main mine, Precys asked me a question."

Let's go back to the night before we entered the (Originium Mine) pit.

The genie Precys, summoned by Ernst after being repeatedly rubbed until he was pure Originium, readily agreed to Ernst's request to help.

“But, treasure, I’m busy right now, I have to focus my energy on something else for the time being.”

"Why don't you and the Doctor handle this yourselves this time?"

"Ourselves?"

Ernst's expression at that moment was no different from Kal'tsit's when she was asked to kidnap the Year Beast.

But Precys simply smiled and nodded:

"You can do it, I believe in you!"

“But I have little combat ability, and the Doctor has lost his memory.” Ernst hesitated.

"Who said you have no fighting ability?"

Precys shook his head slightly, and in a flash, he appeared beside Ernst, sitting down next to him on the edge of the bed.

"Your power comes from all of Terra, from everything you have created."

Ernst looked puzzled.

Precys didn't seem to care and explained softly:

"Our artificial amber is modeled after you. It uses an operating system that is almost identical to yours."

"The original Originium is the most powerful weapon in your hands. You can use it to do anything you want, just like we swing our arms."

Her smile was gentle, her eyes full of sweetness, as if she had remembered something beautiful, and she asked softly:

Is [Anana] still with you?

"I didn't sense its presence."

“I left it in Kazdelnia. The Sarkaz need it more than I do.”

Ernst did not hide anything.

He genuinely hadn't expected that the source stone would have such an effect on him. However, even if he had known, he would most likely have still given it away, since it wouldn't have been of much use to him.

But it certainly won't be that straightforward. He'll probably have to hold onto that Originium for a couple of days to study it, or at least secretly play with it and have some fun before making a decision!

Upon hearing this, Precys pouted, somewhat helplessly, but quickly shook his head in relief:

"It's okay, there's one here too."

"Just use this."

As she spoke, she paused slightly, gazing into Ernst's eyes as if deep in thought, until Ernst became somewhat embarrassed by her gaze, at which point she suddenly and abruptly said:

"However, treasure, I hope that after you have used it, you can work with the doctor to find the answer to a question."

Ernst was taken aback, then tilted his head and said:

"what is the problem?"

"You and the PhD student will need to find out the answer to this question yourselves."
