Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 261

“Is this really it? Is it true that it is a [signpost] created by Oracle and that reflects the spirit of Oracle?”

Dexter, who was shocked to see the pendant, took off his goggles and shouted.

“Oh my god! Look at the change in the wavelength here! That thing I only heard about in theory really existed in the world!”

“uh?”

Listen to the theory?

Seongjin tilted his head, and Dexter held the broken bright red jewel close in front of his eyes.

“Why is this coming out of your pocket? How can you leave this with all the junk?”

He was extremely cautious just a moment ago, but now he is extremely excited and is pressing on Seongjin as if he is going to eat him.

Thanks to this, Seongjin’s plan to scare and freeze and even eat the bone marrow went awry, and he blinked in embarrassment.

“…It’s a milestone, though.”

Why is this here?

It seems that it got mixed up because it was carried with the Nebraska Amulet.

“I’m not going to look at that now, so keep an eye on me….”

When Seongjin held out his hand, Dexter was startled and quickly hid the jewel behind him. He seemed very nervous, as if he had encountered a robber trying to steal a precious heirloom.

“…….”

Seongjin frowned and glared at him.

Give it to me when you treat it well. It’s not something I should say because I carry it in my pocket, but it’s important. It’s a keepsake from my grandmother.

“…Is it okay if I take a closer look at this first?”

Toward Dexter, who asked cautiously in a trembling voice, Seongjin shook his head resolutely.

“No, just give it back. Today I came to see the items from the normal world.”

“But while I’m at it, it would be good if you analyzed this too….”

“That’s it. Please take a look at these ‘ice hearts’ here. I heard they seem to be of a fairly high grade.”

But Dexter didn’t even pay attention to his ice heart. Isn’t he rather showing a straight face and getting angry at Seongjin?

“No, is it time to waste time looking at something like that? There is something worth analyzing right in front of us!”

… When you analyze it, isn’t it just a gem?

As Seongjin was making a shocked face, Dexter quickly put the machine in his hand on one of the soul stones and called out to Seongjin.

“Now, take a good look at this here!”

The machine he showed was a kind of handheld scanner. There was a small screen, with pink and blue lights moving around and drawing a strange graph.

“…What is this?”

“Of course, isn’t it a machine that measures Aon’s reflection?”

I don’t know, what the heck is Aon?

It’s already been decades since I graduated from school, but I remember that at least that wasn’t common sense in Earth science.

“Now, do you see these graphs here? This is the unique waveform of the analysis of the soul stone. Originally, all materials show unique aion waveforms depending on their composition.”

Regardless of Seongjin’s reaction, Dexter continued his passionate explanation.

“Also, do you see the section where pink and blue are widely separated? This means that this soul stone is a material that refracts aeon with twin axes! In other words, it is proof that this is a product of the normal world!”

huh. Seongjin nodded his head.

As expected, I have no idea what that means.

“Okay! But wait! Look at this!”

But Dexter didn’t care about Seongjin’s harsh reaction. This time, she started chatting frantically while holding her grandmother’s pendant, which she had hidden behind her, against the machine.

“Here is an item that you cannot believe exists in this world. It is the [Milestone] of the Oracle! Take a look at the ever-changing waves it creates!”

The difference was clearly visible even to Seongjin, who knew nothing.

The size of the wave increased and decreased, the two graphs merged into one and then spread apart, etc., so there was no point. It was almost suspicious that the machine was broken.

As I was staring at the fluctuating graph, Dexter’s rapid-fire explanation poured down on top of it.

Now, do you see the [signposts] and the graphs that keep changing depending on the angle the scanner hits? What this means is that the number of reflection axes varies continuously depending on the location of the milestone! Moreover, doesn’t the gap between the two graphs narrow and move apart? That means that even though it is a solid that appears to be uniform, its internal polarization coefficient… Oh, excuse me. This is not an actual ionic term, but I just use it for convenience. In any case, it means that the refractive index of aion is constantly changing! oh my god! How in the world does something like this exist?

“Oh oh.”

Seongjin was very impressed.

I spoke for so long, but not a single word was intelligible!

“Because these dream-like objects are real, Ionian engineers worked so hard for such a long time to implement in the world laws that were only possible in theory!”

Dexter was now filled with tears of emotion. Seongjin, who couldn’t stand it any longer, raised his eyebrows and gave him a look.

-Stop talking nonsense and just conclude.

Dexter, seeing that dull expression, pounded his chest in frustration.

“Do you really not know what this means? So, while the Oracle’s [signposts] are objects from the normal world, they partially have the same properties as substances from the normal world!”

It is a product created by a sophisticated mind, but it still has a distinct substance.

Something that originally could not exist within the laws of the original world came to exist in the world intact solely through human mental ability.

“Based on the mental world of the Oracle, we create highly standardized rules and use them to embody reality in the world. Based on that core theory, Ionian engineers worked hard to create it! That is the culmination of this over-technology, This is [Homunculus Engine Source Editor]!”

“Yes, but?”

“Ah! So, the principle of this engine editor is based on this [milestone]!”

The way the oracle recognizes the world, modeled after it and made to be implemented stably in reality, is the homunculus engine, the ultimate law that governs the normal world.

“Hmm. Well, I roughly understand, Mr. Dexter.”

Seongjin nodded and said.

“But isn’t that [engine] entirely Ionian technology? But I understand that the Oracles who created this milestone are prophets of the Kornsim clan from long ago?”

How could the Oracle of Kornsheim, based in Delcross, be related to Ionian over-technology?

Then Dexter asked back as if he was puzzled.

“Isn’t that obvious? Isn’t Oracle one of the legendary engineers of Ionia who first started this research?”

“Huh? Why is the Oracle in Ionia?”

“The Kornsim clan was originally a people who came from Ionia to Delcross, right?”

“……!”

Border races that made their home at the border of the dimension. In addition to those who currently make up the ‘Council of Six’, there were central races that lived in the center of the Ionian continent.

One of them is the Kornsim clan.

-Ionian races had unique characteristics that were different from humans. Most races had something called [Essence] that protected and supported the spirit of the clan.

One day, Seongjin heard such an explanation from Seonghwang.

However, unlike most races that place their essence externally and manage it carefully, the Kornsheim clan had humans who performed the role of the essence with advanced mental abilities.

The Oracle was the representative of the Kornsheim race and the living [essence] of the race.

“…wow.”

Seongjin opened his eyes round.

Okay, this is definitely surprising.

* * *

Sweet.

Tatiana, who had been attending a political meeting on behalf of Seonghwang for the first time in a long time, took advantage of the short break to visit the office. She had an agenda that she wanted to meet with Seonghwang and hear his words, if possible.

But unfortunately, it was not the Emperor or Chamberlain Louis who greeted her, but Princess Amelia, who was looking at the documents.

Well, if she was in the office, I wouldn’t have postponed the political meeting for her.

“Tatiana mommy.”

Tatiana stared blankly at Princess Amelia, who greeted her politely.

Although she always called herself ‘Empress Mama’ in official settings, in private the princess always called herself ‘Tatiana Irma Mama.’ When she first entered the imperial palace, she had imitated Logan without even realizing it.

Strictly speaking, it is not a properly formal title, but it may be an area of ​​talent to look friendly rather than arrogant.

“You’ve been working hard recently to help Your Majesty with his work, Princess Amelia.”

“You’re helping me out. It would be fortunate if I just stayed by your side and didn’t cause you any trouble.”

The way she answered shyly was also sweet like a flower.

That beautiful princess certainly resembles His Majesty a lot, but she must also have many similarities with her mother.

What a beautiful woman she must have been to have such a flower-like daughter. Jealousy towards the princess’s now dead mother creeps up on her.

But Tatiana never showed it. She was the empress of the most powerful empire on the continent, and she has maintained her empress’ dignity without a single flaw until now.

“Father, I heard that His Majesty is still in the prayer room. Now, Director Katrina is attending by his side.”

“Really? If you really went to the prayer room, it will take longer than expected for you to come back. I had to interrupt the government meeting for a while because I really needed to ask your opinion…”

Tatiana sighed deeply. Now is the time to focus on the problem at hand rather than vague jealousy.

“Princess Amelia. Do you know anything about the generals who came from the Principality of Asein before the birthday party?”

I asked just in case, and the princess nodded and quickly found the document among the papers.

Tatiana was a little surprised by the quick reaction, but then slowly lifted the document and frowned. The long notices that had been sent several times in a detailed assortment several months ago were annoying to me for no reason.

“It seems like Grand Duke Asein really wants to push his savings into the imperial capital.”

Recently, the western and southern nobles, led by Grand Duke Asin, were rolling up their sleeves to start a full-fledged savings business.

One of the ways is to acquire all the ritual tools used in the imperial capital through savings.

It was a proposal that had once been rejected by the Emperor, but as soon as he left the room, he pushed it back to the Empress as a show of pride.

-Isn’t it natural for us, as his beloved children, to provide the best for the Lord!

It was extremely embarrassing when even some high-ranking priests, including Cardinal Benitus, came out strongly.

The budget that had to be executed was a budget, but I was especially concerned that everything was going according to Grand Duke Asin’s wishes.

‘But now there is no excuse to refuse.’

As Tatiana showed the will to push through even if she tried to go through all the difficulties, she ended up going to Seonghwang’s office to ask for his advice.

But Amelia, who was looking closely at Tatiana’s face, opened her mouth.

“Wow, these savings ritual tools must be so embarrassing for the young priests.”

“……?”

When I raised my head, not knowing why, clear gray eyes that looked exactly like Seonghwang sparkled with a bright light.

“According to research, isn’t it said that a piece of gold weighs 1.5 to 1.8 times more depending on the craftsmanship? It is said that everyone wears small accessories without knowing it, but the weight of ritual utensils will increase significantly.”

Tatiana blinked.

… Did you? It was a fact she had no way of knowing, as she rarely cared about the weight of her little trinkets.

“But how difficult must it be for the young priests who have to walk the imperial capital carrying ritual tools made with savings on the saint’s feast day? They must be low-level priests with weak physical strength due to their lack of divine power.”

“……!”

As the Empress opened her eyes wide, Amelia smiled sadly at her.

“Isn’t it the feast day of Bastian, the saint of forgiveness, who forgives and inspires even violent criminals with love? How much it would hurt the heart of such a kind-hearted saint if he found out about this.”

“Is… is that true? Are you properly prepared with the materials?”

“Yes, Tatiana, my dear. There are documents that your father, His Majesty, has ordered you to carefully examine.”

After answering that, Amelia walked quickly to one side of the office and took out a stack of papers from a pile of documents. Among all those documents, without any searching work.

Tatiana looked at this as if she were fascinated.

She was once called a prodigy, and at the time, she even studied abroad in Brittany alone, which was rare. Even though she did not have divine powers and could not rise to become a high priest, she had no doubt that she would easily achieve her dream of becoming a competent administrator herself.

What was it like after the Emperor came to the throne? Didn’t she even have the ambition to properly lead the empire from the position of empress?

But above those who run, there are always those who fly.

-That document was processed a week ago, Tatiana. If it’s okay, could you take a look at the documents over here?

-The letter you are looking for is in the third booklet from the left.

Tatiana’s sense of self-destruction was indescribable when, after wandering around in a mountain of work, she finally realized that leaving Seonghwang alone was the only way to help her.

Is it just that? How could it be possible for an ordinary person to win an argument against strict Orthodox church leaders at a sacred meeting?

It was clear that Seonghwang’s mind was filled with an enormous amount of historical information.

The same is true even recently when political affairs have stabilized. Even though she has talented servants working in their respective positions without any gaps, Tatiana sometimes feels that it is very difficult to replace the Holy Emperor when he is away.

‘however… … .’

Empress Tatiana looked at Amelia with a suspicious expression and asked a question carefully.

“I heard that there have been several reports of strange storms in Cyprus recently. Can you find the information for me?”

“Yes, Tatyana, mom.”

Then again, Amelia answered calmly and began to pick out the documents without hesitation.

‘Of course. I’m memorizing everything I’ve seen once!’

What a terrifying power this is!

Tatiana shuddered.

Those who surround her and flatter her always say: Logan, who is gifted with great divine power and a genius swordsmanship, is well suited to succeed Seonghwang.

‘But Your Majesty does not support this empire with a sword. His true strength lies in his ability to handle political affairs quickly and accurately.’

Since Tatiana does not even have the talent for swordsmanship, let alone divine power, Amelia’s abilities come to the fore even more powerfully.

Perhaps the princess’s ability is the perfect talent for a leader of a country.

‘I thought that one day I would marry a royal from another country and go to Rohan or Brittany… … .’

Perhaps the princess will emerge as a new competitor in the battle for the throne. Tatiana stood there, stunned, shocked by her sudden realization.

So, she didn’t realize that the princess was humming a strange song to herself.

‘Cyprus’ report this quarter may be… Bam bam bam bam thump thump thump. That’s right! ‘This is the fourth index!’
