Chapter 946: Rebuilding the Helasar Empire?

After Lanton left, Aiwass, holding the little crow in his arms, suddenly said:
"I quite like this young man."

——Although Aiwass himself is nearly ten years younger than Landon, his rather old-fashioned words surprisingly did not feel out of place at this moment.

"why?"

Vines was inexplicably dissatisfied: "Because of the words he praised you?"

"because of you."

"……what?"

Aiwass's words made Vignes suddenly stuck for a moment.

"Just kidding," Aiwass chuckled, "Actually it's because he has empathy, is cautious and doesn't want to fool people. He thought of those who were not rescued, remembered that Avalon was not very accepting of Transcendents before, and when I said 'I need a Bayard', he directly stated that he might not be able to help me... instead of agreeing first and then thinking about how to deal with it. This shows that he has subconsciously considered how he should complete the task."

"Given your status, it's normal that he doesn't dare to fool you."

On the contrary, Vignes began to pour cold water on his junior: "This does not prove that he can be so cautious in other matters."

"That's a mentality issue, not an ability issue. Even so, there is a possibility that he can adjust."

Aiwass said casually, smiling and pinching the warm belly of the little crow in his arms: "Why are you jealous of your junior? He is a man, my little crow."

He could sense that Bayard was jealous because he was praising other Bayards.

"...This is the effect of the jealousy mark on me." Bayard said stubbornly.

"Yeah, I guess so."

Aiwass did not continue to emphasize this topic: "But you said... 'Territory is the secret treasure, blood is the key'. Is this a universal principle of curse science? Is the Herasil Secret Treasure also from this? Was it also created by your Bayard family?"

"Certainly not."

Vines answered affirmatively: "That is the royal treasury. How could we ask a folk curse master to set it up? If a Bayard of a certain generation got sick or was bribed, wouldn't it be the same as someone privately duplicating the key to the treasury?

"But the principle is the same... It must be a curse. Whether it is a ritual, a mechanism or a barrier, it is too easy to break. As long as the operation is carried out for a long enough time, no matter how complicated the ritual is, it can be broken. Since the Herasil Vault has not been cracked until now, it means that it can only be based on a curse."

Indeed. Aiwass thought.

The ceremony of Eagle Point Village was like this - Aiwass was only at the third level at that time, but he was able to break the swamp man ceremony arranged by his grandfather. He did not do it, just because he did not know whether it would cause trouble to the residents of Eagle Point Village; even Vivian, who knew nothing about the ceremony, would destroy the Shadow of Avalon ceremony arranged by Merlin because of stealing Alondite - she did not know that this "dagger" was related to the Shadow of Avalon ceremony, and she could easily destroy other people's rituals.

Rituals exist in this way. Although they can defeat the strong with the weak, the process is too complicated and the principle is too black-box - just like a transmission device composed of many gears, any one of which stops or breaks, it is possible to produce an unexpected result in a series of chain reactions.

"…Since it's a curse," Aiwass said, "Can you help to remove it?"

"It can't be done."

Crow shook his head. "This is the biggest difference between a curse and a ritual. A ritualist can remove or counter the rituals of other ritualists, but a curser cannot remove a curse cast by others. If you want a universal solution, you need light - a strong enough purifying force can also remove a curse. But in that case, the curse itself will be completely destroyed."

In other words, it's physical unlocking... Aiwass thought about it and asked, "If the curse is used to preserve treasures, will this method of unlocking destroy the treasures inside?"

"meeting."

Vines said with certainty: "Just like the polluted remains of Sister Sasha, you, Master, must pray to Sister Sasha to purify the pollution yourself, instead of just throwing it into the holy water to soak. People who have been sick for a long time cannot use strong medicine, or their bodies will not be able to bear it."

But as soon as she said this, she realized what Aiwass wanted to do: "You want to open the secret treasure of Herasil?"

"Although the Herasil Vault is occupied by Valentine...but this thing does not belong to Valentine, nor to Xingbi. And there is more to it than that."

Aiwass pondered and whispered: “Landon’s existence gave me a revelation… Even a Bayard who is living outside can be considered a Bayard.

"--Then, if the Swamp Man was made with the blood of the Herasil royal family, could he also be considered the real Heracles?"

Now Valentine VII is dead, Valentine VIII is being transformed into the Son of the Moon, and the former regent Queen Louise has voluntarily fallen into a succubus. In a sense, the royal inheritance of the Star Antimony Kingdom has long been a mess, and the regime can be said to have completely fallen.

Although the princess has the magnanimity to inherit the throne...but her control over the planet is almost gone, and even the people no longer trust Valentine. And the princess wants to improve the chaos of the planet and let the people live a good life, rather than becoming the monarch.

As for Prince Szijjártó—he didn’t want to be a monarch at all, he just wanted to be a safe and stable alchemist.

All other royal family members who had the hope of inheriting the throne had been killed by the Red Prime Minister.

in this case……

"I suddenly remembered... Julia's real name before she was adopted was Julia Hercules."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly. "It just so happens that she is also an alchemist. The Star Antimony people will like her... After all, she will also participate in the final battle."

There is another reason why Aiwas suddenly had this idea.

Didn't the Moon Children want to rebuild the Herasil Empire? Wasn't reviving Herasil's glory the slogan that connected them to each other and made them declare cross-national and cross-power cooperation?

——What if they were to rebuild a real Herasil directly on the ruins of Xingti? What would they choose?

Let Xingti merge with Avalon - it has all the inheritance of the nine great ways, and its geographical location is also on the old territory of Herasil. It can even reopen the secret treasures of Herasil. The people are the pure-blooded Herasil people of the past, and the ruler is still Hercules, who is pure-blooded to the point of not being purer. Even the legal basis for the revival of this old empire can be recognized by the Pope... and Julia can be allowed to become emperor.

In this way, war and hatred will be eliminated.

The dispute between Avalon and Star Antimony has become a regional dispute within a country; the Narcissus Principality and the Black Hawk Principality, which previously claimed to be independent under the claim of "the orthodox inheritance of Hellasl", may not be unable to rejoin - they broke off their ties with the Star Antimony Kingdom, so what does it have to do with the New Hellasl Empire?
The Iris Kingdom, which is equally wary of Star Antimony and Avalon, and is even likely to have made great contributions to the independence events of the Narcissus Principality and the Black Eagle Principality, is unlikely to conflict with the "New Herasl".

Then peace will come, and peace will bring prosperity, and prosperity will bring glory.

By that time, it would not be difficult to "revive Herasil" in a true sense.

When a country looks like Hellas, sounds like Hellas, feels like Hellas…

——Then it is Herasil.
