George's death became the best condition for Carlos to target the Republican Party. Since there is no such thing as surveillance in this world, the gunshot wound on Carlos's body and the pistol in George's hand became the only proof that George tried to shoot Carlos.
Carlos made a big fuss about this, which aroused the anger of the masses except his own followers. For a time, the Republican Party was pushed to the forefront.
This situation made even the members of the royal capital who originally sided with the Republicans dare not vote for the Republicans in the election. In the end, Carlos was successfully elected king with more than half of the votes.
As soon as he was elected king, Carlos ordered all republicans in the royal capital to be banned. In addition, Carlos also completely dissolved the parliament, and Carlos also changed the law so that the king did not need to legislate.
With anyone’s consent.
In this way, Carlos went from a defeated soldier on the battlefield to a king capable of ruling the entire Ypres in just a few months.
Afterwards, Carlos also began to reorganize the entire Ypres based on his knowledge of the previous world. The first step was to unify the economy and invest a large amount of resources into industrial development.
If Yipur wants to defeat Helworth in the next war, the first priority is to develop industry. Although the contract is powerful, it is also personal power. No one can withstand thousands of artillery and bullets.
Thinking about it, Carlos took out a book from the drawer with [Book of the Dead] written on it.
This was collected from George's belongings when he led his followers to destroy a Republican gathering place after taking office. It was a banned book, so George did not sign the contract.
Looking at the book, Carlos fell into silence.
I know the dangers of the banned books. If you fail the trial, you will die. But for me now, there must be countless assassins. When the time comes, I can't just rely on a small pistol and my own brain to fool them. I must
You must also have the ability to protect yourself.
"...Give it a try." Carlos gritted his teeth, opened the Book of the Dead, cut his finger open with a knife, and dripped his own blood on it.

Tandawa is more like a small town than a country, with an area as small as only 0.32 square kilometers, and most of the area is covered with mountains, so the living area is estimated to be even smaller.
"Did you know that Tandava is also called the country of mirrors?" Lucia said while sitting opposite Ahes on the train, drinking yogurt.
"The country of mirrors? How do you describe it?"
"Because there are mirrors everywhere. To be honest, it's fine during the day, but seeing so many mirrors at night can really scare people."
"That's it. Do those mirrors have any metaphorical meaning or function?"
"I don't know. The route I traveled last time didn't include Tandawa. To be honest, I would have ignored that small place without looking at the map." Lucia drank the yogurt in one gulp. "Well, after all, that's where I want to go.
It is the only way to go to the Twilight Kingdom and it is a must-go.”
"That's it." Ahs nodded and touched the bandage on his face.
It would be great if there was a place where I could heal my eyes. I'm really not used to having only one eye left.
Since Lucia had never been to Tandava, the country of mirrors, Aches pulled out a travel brochure from a pile of travel brochures on the train shelf.
"A peaceful and beautiful country of mirrors." The description of Tandawa in the tourist brochure is only this short sentence, and the accompanying pictures only have a picture of a grassland and a picture of a knight riding a white horse.
Because it is a small and pitiful country, the brochure does not even describe it too much.

After I spent several years in Tandawa, I met Larry Richardson. He was a soldier, and I was an ordinary farmer's boy and now a tavern waiter. We two had the same thing.
Even though he is extremely poor, I have to say that Larry is the most elegant soldier I have ever seen. However, the rusty and blood-stained armor and sword on his body can easily make people ignore this. In addition, he is also
There were a few people who could tolerate my habit of humming songs when I had nothing to do, so we became friends. When there were fewer people in the pub, I would often sneak away from my post quietly to meet Larry.
The breeze on Tandawa Street is mixed with the sound of singers playing and singing in restaurants, and the red roses on the potted plants on the street exude a strange fragrance all the time.
"I had a dream last night." I took a breath, feeling many strange emotions in my heart.
But he just smiled gently and blinked.
"What dream?"
"I saw a strange field on the top of the mountain. Many creeks flowed straight from one end to the other. The land between each two creeks was divided into many small squares by many small green tree hedges. You know
"There has never been a place like this in Tandawa, and even if there was, the layout would be completely different from this." What a strange dream, I thought.
"It's not surprising. After all, it was just a dream." Larry thought for a while before joining me. "Occasionally when I'm not awake, I see things in the mirror that are not in the original world. In the end, it's all
It’s just imagination, there can’t be another world in the mirror or in dreams, right?”
"If that's the case, I really hope I can go into that world and have a look." I thought for a while and said, "Maybe in another world, I don't know if I am a rich man."
"Haha, then I might be a king or a general, instead of a soldier who has to charge forward every time I go to the battlefield."
"oh.........."
"Hey, don't be dazed." Larry patted me on the shoulder.
I realized that I had been dazed for a while. Just after Larry finished saying those words, the sun that was originally above Larry and I had been blocked by a cloud that drifted over.
"Hug... I'm sorry... I have too many strange things in my mind. Whether it's a dream or a mirror, if I talk about it, it would be enough to have a tea party." I muttered, "What are you putting boots on your hands?"
Men, the God of Death who only drinks yogurt and milk, or the weirdo who is missing one eye and can only extend his left hand when shaking hands but is right-handed...and..."
"There are also new cookies." Larry laughed, "What you are thinking is really weird. Last time you said you saw an elephant and ants playing rock, paper, scissors in the mirror, right? Although it was very strange,
It’s unbelievable, but it’s not like a made-up story at all.”
"I'm still wondering what the world in the mirror looks like," I said unconvinced, "I see all kinds of things in the mirror every day - speaking of this... I have left my post
It’s been a while, goodbye!”
Larry opened his mouth to say something, but I was already running away—and the conversation was lost.
Later I heard that Larry and some companions took a boat to Bill Coster to perform a mission. On the way, they encountered a group of pirates with guns.
Reality is not a fairy tale after all, and armor cannot stop bullets.
