The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

Helen of Thirty-third Street... also left them.

……

On board the Frankish ships.

"Lady Saint Corona, we have received news from the Roman Guards on the front lines that Saint Helen of the Hundred Flowers has... sacrificed her life."

A two-meter-tall Frankish soldier reported to Joan of Arc.

pat!

The cup fell to the ground, and the splashing water was just like the huge waves in Joan of Arc's heart.

"...Has the body been retrieved?" Joan of Arc asked blankly.

The Frankish soldier was silent for a moment, then replied uncertainly, "It seems Viscount Natalie is carrying... the Saint's body to Port Royal."

Jeanne nodded slightly, her blue eyes gradually becoming empty. "I'll go take a look and be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Joan of Arc jumped out of the window of the ship, landed on the port, and then rushed towards the Royal Port.

……

Jackdaw.

Eudocia looked at the communication crystal in her hand in disbelief. Arthur's report was clearly written on it.

【The regent is killed, and the front line is unknown.】

"Sister, what happened?" Irina next to her asked anxiously. She saw that her sister's face looked very wrong. Her sister would only have this expression when something bad happened.

Unfortunately, Eudocia did not answer her this time. She stepped back blankly, then closed her eyes and fell into the bridge room.

"Sister!" Irina quickly helped the unconscious Eudocia up.

Next to her, Ivilia picked up the communication crystal on the ground and saw the report sent by Arthur...

Chapter 143: What if I wait another ten thousand years? [4K]

Helen died in the war?

When Hogg Thunderheart, who was in the Golden Horn, heard the news, he felt terrible.

He originally wanted to rely on Helen, who had status in both the royal family and the church, to take over and rule the territory of the Roman Empire.

Did Helen die?

This made his subsequent rule very troublesome. In the eyes of the world, he did not obtain Rome by the so-called "mandate of heaven", but obtained Constantinople by violence.

The cost of governance will increase significantly in the future.

"Bring Caracas back to me." Hogg Thunderheart sat back on the throne, covering his face with one hand. "Order someone to investigate again to see if the news of Helen's death is true."

A civil servant stepped forward, received the order and left the tent.

"Your Majesty, will the Golden Horn be blocked again?" another civil servant asked.

Hog Thunderheart closed his eyes. "All-out bombardment, start the blockade. What about Wachka?"

"Your Majesty, Warmaster Vochka has successfully repelled the enemy." A short goblin in a Roman purple robe stepped forward. "He is leading his troops to strangle the remaining barbarians, but the losses... are too great."

Hog Lei rubbed his brows in frustration. "I know the First and Third Armies have suffered heavy losses, but we must speed up our pace."

"Let the Second Legion guarding the west enter the city to cooperate."

The last sentence brought silence to the entire tent.

"Your Majesty, are we going to leave the west alone?" a civil servant asked tremblingly. "Reinforcements from European countries have already gathered in the Balkan Peninsula. If we allow the Second Legion to leave, we will be attacked from both sides."

"This war is over. We have undoubtedly won, but we have gained nothing but victory."

Hogg Thunderheart sighed and stood up.

The ministers in the tent looked at each other in confusion.

"Your Majesty, we have acquired all of Rome's heritage!" a civil servant flattered him forcefully, "This is all thanks to your wise command!"

"Wise?" Hogg Thunderheart turned to look at the civil servant. "Whether it was Eudocia or Irina, or even Helen who repeatedly warned us about it, we didn't get it."

"For this reason, we deliberately let Nero escape."

"Now it's all over. Helen's life or death is unknown, and Eudocia and Irina are nowhere to be found."

"We got a half-empty Constantinople and a bunch of flattering but useless idiots."

"Everyone, so many of us died, and yet we got something superficial?"

Hogg Thunderheart spread his hands and said, "I lost the duel between me and the Saint of Rome. The Saint is suspected to be dead. We are both losers."

Everyone in the tent was silent, especially the flattering civil servant, who lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Let's go and meet this Roman grave keeper."

Hogg Thunderheart walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back and a look of regret on his face.

……

Earth, Washington School Laboratory.

Anna carefully observed the girl in front of her named Roma. Since being invited by Teacher Hai yesterday, she has often come to Teacher Hai's laboratory to chat with this super intelligence.

"What's wrong? Sister Anna?" Roma tilted his head in confusion, his movements and appearance were all agile like a human, and there was always a comfortable smile on the corner of his mouth.

She gives people the feeling of a smiling girl next door.

Anna waved her hand. "It's okay. I'm just curious why you think the same way as humans. Does intelligence really have a self?"

"Well...it's hard to explain to you, sister. Just think of it as someone with super computing power." Roma said with a tilt of her head.

Anna blinked and nodded thoughtfully.

"Sister Anna, what are your plans for the holidays?" Roma asked back.

Anna looked up and thought: "Hmm... My friend and I are planning to go to space. I heard that the space elevator has been officially put into use."

"Space is wonderful! You can look at the stars." Roma tilted his head and said, "I heard that if you look out with a super-large telescope, you can see ancient scenes from far away. What we see in the starry sky now happened in the past."

"This telescope is really big." Anna tilted her head and smiled.

Roma looked up at the laboratory ceiling and asked, "If people outside look at the Earth, can they see what it was like ten thousand years ago?"

"Maybe?" Anna changed the subject: "So what are your plans for the upcoming winter vacation?"

"Well... prepare to become the administrator of Istanbul. During this time, help Dr. Hai organize the life support cabin." Roma counted on his fingers.

"Life support chamber?" Anna tilted her head in confusion.

Roma nodded slightly, "Well, do you want to go check it out?"

"Huh? Can I go?"

"Didn't you agree to join Dr. Hymers' team?"

"I, I just heard that there is only one life support chamber at the moment. I don't think it's a big deal."

"Of course. You're a candidate for the teacher's team, so you have permission." Roma smiled meaningfully and said, "Sister Anna, don't you really want to take a look?"

Anna thought for a moment and answered carefully: "I just want to see how you repaired it."

Roma covered her mouth and smiled, then turned around and led the way.

Anna followed closely behind, and with a hint of curiosity and nervousness, she and Roma came to a nearby laboratory.

This laboratory was newly built, and the door lock was an electronic password type. As Roma entered the password, a laboratory filled with various mechanical pipes and electronic circuits came into Anna's sight.

The overall color of the laboratory is blue, full of a futuristic mechanical feel. In the middle there is a spherical mechanical facility, which is wrapped in blue mechanical iron sheets and hung from the ceiling.

"Our school actually has these things?" Anna walked into the laboratory in surprise.

Roma walked over to the spherical facility with a smile, "This is the life support chamber, it can maintain a person's vital signs for a long time."

Anna wondered: "If it's so powerful, does it need long-term maintenance if used?"

"Yes, this is why we maintain it for a long time." Roma reached out and touched the life support module with a sad expression.

“If no one is using it, then does that mean it doesn’t need maintenance?”

"Yes."

"Then now..."

"Well, the person lying inside is my mother? Or father?" Roma opened an iron sheet, revealing the transparent glass inside.

"Father? Mother? The one who made you?"

"No, my body data is based on the template of the person inside."

After the words fell, Roma moved sadly closer to the glass.

Anna swallowed hard and took a brave step forward. The sight that came into her eyes shocked her.

……

In the cabinet meeting hall of the palace of Constantinople, the golden throne has been vacant for a long time. The last person to sit here was Eudocia, and the previous one was Constantine XI.

But they are not here anymore, even the ministers and court officials are not here. There are only the Prime Minister of the Eastern Roman Empire, Osius, and the imperial eunuch Valorna.

"Password verification completed, welcome to activate the Rome number!"

The golden throne turned around, revealing its back, and a mechanical coffin stood before the two of them.

Who would have thought that behind the Golden Throne, which represents the highest power in Rome, there is a mechanical coffin.

Click!

The coffin opened and a petite mechanical girl walked out.

"I am the current administrator, requesting the final agreement from the Roma."

Osius showed his right arm, which was embedded with a chip.

The one named Roma raised his head with a pale face, looked around blankly, a string of numbers flashed in his eyes, and then he scanned the floor with the scanner.

"According to geological observations, 87660000 hours have passed since the last activation."

"Checking nearby personnel structures, Dr. Hai... no longer exists."

"Assistant Anna... no longer exists."

"Mr. Victor... no longer exists."

"General Russell... no longer exists."

“Everyone I knew is gone.”

"Has the Earth Federation finally failed?"

"In accordance with our ancient agreement with humanity, the final agreement is allowed to be used."

At the end of the sentence, Roma cried out in a sobbing voice, with rusty liquid flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Osius and Valorna fell silent.

"Before activating the protocol, someone needs to go to the activation device behind the throne. Humans must be present throughout the process to prevent contaminated machinery from operating."

Roma squatted under the throne, his face full of sorrow and sadness.

click-

A crack appeared on the wall behind the throne, and then it opened to the left and right, and a door suddenly appeared in front of Osius and Valorna.

Inside the gate is a large mechanical room filled with old, rusty wires and electronic screens. There is also a mechanical chair in the middle, and an electronic holographic screen pops up on the right armrest.

"This is..." Valorna widened her eyes in surprise.

"The final secret of the Eastern Roman Empire, a relic from the last era." Osius stepped forward.

Valorna hurried to support Osius.

With the help of Valorna, Osius walked to the chair and said, "Everything here is a miracle. I heard that my teacher once said that everything here was created by ordinary people."

"Made by a group of mortals? Could the mortals of the past be on par with the gods?" Valorna asked a question that was not a question.
