Night was falling, but before darkness completely enveloped the earth, artificial lights lit up in the city, dispelling the dim that had just arrived.

The street lights spread along the urban roads and the bright lights of every household are shining in this forest made of steel and cement, like stars falling into the world, shining brightly.

There may be no night in the city.

On the terrace somewhere in the Aki Palace, Count Dulle looked into the distance of this strange city and couldn't help but sigh: "Even the most remote city has the same number of street lights... This is a considerable expense."

Matilda's voice came from a distance: "But it improves security and makes cities safer. In the long run, crime rates will be reduced and the costs of maintaining the law will be reduced."

"…Aldernan's noble council is not good at thinking about problems from a 'long-term' perspective, and this does need to be changed," Earl Duller turned around and bowed to Matilda. "You are also looking at the scenery?"

"Come on the go," Matilda said lightly, "Earl Duller, what do you think of what you saw today?"

"...This is indeed a different place from Tiphon. To be honest, some aspects are disordered and scary, but some aspects show... surprising order," Earl Duller shook his head, "I still prefer Aldernan, and its solemnity and solemnity."

"Obviously, we have different understandings of 'order' from that Emperor Gowan," Matilda said casually, and then asked again, "Earl Duller, do you have any opinions on the "Basics of Everything"? You have also read its original manuscript and some of the content."

"To be honest, my first feeling was a little disappointed," Count Dulle thought for a moment and said bluntly, "When I knew how much the Cecils had used to compile it, and how high the Emperor Gowen Cecil had placed on it, I thought I would see some great books that recorded the mystery of the difficult magic, embodied the profound wisdom of philosophers, and shone with brilliant grammar, but I didn't expect that the contents of it were so shallow... and the use of words and sentences was vulgar. But it was huge and the content was very breathtaking."

Matilda looked at Count Dulle for a while and said slowly: "But it also records parts that you don't understand, such as typhoid fever, mechanical craftsmanship, and the unfinished agronomy... Just like its name, it is the Basics of Everything, which records the basic common sense for maintaining the operation of a society, not the arduous knowledge that only a few people can study.

"And more importantly, Emperor Cecil intends to promote such things to the entire empire and treat it as the 'benchmark of knowledge' for the people. Earl Dulle, can you imagine what this means?"

Earl Duller's words were accompanied by thoughts: "Yes, I can imagine...so after the first feeling of disappointment, I understood your mood after seeing those originals, and also understood your request to His Majesty Gao Wen..."

Matilda looked at the eyes of Count Dulle: "So Count Dulle, what do you think? Do you think Tifon needs the "Basics of Everything"?"

Earl Duller blinked and fell into a brief thought. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a somewhat complicated tone: "To be honest, in my opinion, if it is to be promoted to the entire society, then what is said in "The Basics of Everything"... is a bit too much."

...

Somewhere in the room at the Palace of Cecil, Amber stared at Gao Wen in surprise: "Then you decided to give the full version of "The Basics of Everything" to Tifeng?"

"Yes," Gao Wen said calmly, "and I plan to send a hardcover version to me and I signed it myself."

"Aren't you afraid of playing with it?" Amber's eyes widened, "That's...what to say it, in your opinion, that is the 'basis of the operation of modern society', which is used to enhance the competitiveness of an entire generation. If you hand it over to the Tifeng people, will there be no accident?"

"First of all, when "The Basics of Everything" is completed, printed in large quantities with a printing press, and is distributed nationwide and can be purchased by everyone, who can make it impossible for them to flow into Tifeng? The new printing publication is not a classical magic book. Unless we make great efforts to ban it, its flow is unstoppable," Gao Wen glanced at Amber and said with a smile, "Second point... Do you think "The Basics of Everything" will be the same as the situation faced by Cecil after it arrives at Tifeng?"

Amber frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Gao Wen shook his head gently.

"No, because the nobles of Tifeng became new factory owners, because their parliament was essentially a mixture of capital and aristocrats, a group that was more greedy and selfish than purely traditional aristocrats. Even if they built a factory system similar to ours, even if their industrial machines had already started, they were different from us in their bones.

"All things are just needed to compile a set of "The Basics of Everything", hundreds of scholars, experts, assistants and an office with coordination capabilities, which we can do, and Tifeng can do.

"But spreading this set of "Basics of Everything" to the entire society requires a powerful Supreme Government Affairs Office, tens of thousands of grassroots clerks, an army that can smash the old nobles, and countless institutions like General Academy and Imperial Academy, countless night schools, teachers, and literacy teams.

"Not all these Tifengs, and in their eyes, our "Basics of Everything"... is really too much."

Amber couldn't help but frown: "Then what's the point of giving Matilda a set?"

"The spread of knowledge is just to spread knowledge," Gao Wen laughed. "There is no other thoughts, no conspiracy, I just hope that knowledge can be spread, the wider the better. "The Basics of Everything" may be placed in Rosetta Augustus' study, or it may enter the noble parliament, or it may enter their Imperial Workers Association and the Mage Association. No matter what, it is a good thing. If it really happens, Rosetta Augustus and his commander's parliament decide to spread all the volumes including social general knowledge and continental history... it is also a good thing."

Amber showed a thoughtful look again, and Gao Wen looked at her and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Speaking of this... you are paying more and more attention to these complicated things recently. You can even discuss with me for a long time. Aren't you the most impatient thing to think about these things before?"

Amber was stunned for a moment and waved his hand quickly: "I'm impatient, but the salary you gave is too much..."

Gao Wen was stunned. After a moment, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Then let's take it that way."

After Amber left the room, Gao Wen stood up from the high-back chair and came to the wide floor-to-ceiling window towards the dark mountains.

The bright magic crystal light shone behind him, dispelling the darkness that had already spread across the mountains. Over the magnificent and eternal dark mountains, bright stars were rising.

The familiar spiritual fluctuations suddenly surged deep in consciousness, which was Daniel's request for communication.

Gao Wen identified the marks in the mental fluctuations, and did not enter the deep dream, but directly connected the spiritual communication with Daniel in the shallow consciousness.

"My Lord," the old master's respectful voice sounded in Gowen's heart, "I have received the information that Pope Megol III will agree to your conditions."

Gao Wen was a little curious: "When I left, the Archbishops held another meeting?"

"It was not a formal meeting, but Mergol III and some archbishops reached a tacit understanding in advance," Daniel reported, "If nothing unexpected happens, this will become the final result of the meeting..."

"...It seems that there are complex relationships within the Eternal Midwig Clan, but the control of Megol III is obviously above all factions." Gao Wen, who is quite familiar with similar factional relationships, internal struggles and reshuffles, did not show any surprises, but agreed with it quite well. "He is very decisive and wise. Now is not a time for a slow meeting to discuss. He must ensure that the entire Clan has only one voice in a short time... and also ensure that after the incident, when I, the "outsider" accept his Clan, all the people left in the Clan were screened by him..."

"My Lord, do you need me to cooperate with me to take some action?"

"No need, let things go naturally. Mergold III has accumulated seven hundred years of wisdom and will handle everything well," said Gao Wen. "What I care about is the technology and knowledge of the Eternal Sleeper. As for how this sect develops... after I transform it, it will naturally embark on a healthy development route."

Then he paused and asked casually: "Where are you? After being invaded by me, the 'outside wanderer', did you, the 'security supervisor', encounter trouble?"

"...I was rewarded," Daniel's voice paused and hesitated. "Although I failed to 'stop' your 'invasion', the Pope and more than half of the Archbishops thought that I had at least caused you trouble and showed the power of mortals... They thought I had done what they could not do and had made contributions."

Gao Wen: "…"

Facing Gao Wen's brief silence, Daniel's voice became more and more cautious: "My Lord, do you think... there is something wrong?"

Gao Wen: "...No, no problem, everything is fine."

How to say it, he felt a little guilty in an instant, thinking that he was a little bit cruel to those eternal sleepers, but after thinking about it carefully, he accepted the status quo after cultists had no human rights anyway.

What's more, as an extraterritorial wanderer, he cannot be easily trapped in embarrassment in front of Daniel, which is detrimental to his image.

And while talking to Daniel, Gao Wen suddenly felt something.

He laughed in his heart: "It seems that the news you are about to come, faster than I thought."

The old master's voice rang out: "Then, my lord, I will retreat first."

Daniel's spiritual mark quietly left. After erasing all traces, Gao Wen redirected his shallow consciousness to the spiritual network, responding to a voice that kept calling himself.

With intuitive sensing, he looked beside him and saw a little hazy and soft light suddenly appearing in the air, and then the light condensed into a classical lantern with a crystal shell.

Sitting in a white long dress and gentle temperament, Selena Ger broke up with a lantern and stood beside Gao Wen.

"Hello," Gao Wen nodded slightly to the familiar and unfamiliar "Lantern Saint", "I didn't expect you to come in person."

“By dreaming, I have more ways to protect myself than other believers,” Selena said softly, “It is very risky for us to contact ‘outdoors’.”

"You can understand your concerns, although I don't think it's necessary," Gao Wen smiled. "I was thinking before, I didn't leave you the 'contact information', how should you contact me."

Selena looked calm: "We really can't lock your position, but we believe that as long as you call your name throughout the mind network, you will definitely hear that you are definitely listening to the mind network."

"It doesn't sound like something to be happy about...but it does fit the truth," Gao Wen said, raising his eyebrows, "So, are you here to tell me the answer of the Sleeper?"

"We can agree to your request," Selena said the answer that Gao Wen already knew. "Although the Supreme Bishops still need further discussion, we can give you an answer."

Gao Wen was not surprised at all. He maintained a calm look: "It sounds like you are in a hurry, it's good for everyone."

"We still have the conditions," Selena said suddenly, "or... it is to show our attitude in advance."

"Speak and listen."

"We can be loyal to the 'outer roamers' and accept the 'incorporation' and 'transformation' you mentioned, but it is all based on the laws and rules of the world. We will no longer believe in a new god. If one day you go on the path of god..."
