Release that Witch - Chapter 5

[Chapter 5 Reasons]

“Second Law of Thermodynamics: It is impossible to transfer heat from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object without other effects, or it is impossible to take heat from a single heat source so that it can be completely converted into useful work without other effects, or in an irreversible thermodynamic process Small increments of entropy are always greater than zero.”

Roland neatly copied this law on paper—using the words of this world.

At first glance, it looks a bit like earthworm writing, but he really doesn’t understand how the locals learned such a cumbersome writing.

If one of the laws of physics is the most boring, Roland would definitely choose the second law of thermodynamics.

It tells everyone that heat in this world is always flowing from high to low, disorder is replacing order, and entropy is constantly increasing.

In the end, everyone will return to nothingness, and the universe will become dead.

And this world has got rid of the trouble of entropy increase, and magic power can be created out of nothing, which is even greater than the invention of perpetual motion machines!

The power of the devil?

Roland scoffed at this. They didn’t realize the nature of this power at all. On a larger scale, it could even change the entire universe.

Of course, right now, we can start by changing Border Town.

Humming a little tune, Roland tore off the note and put it in the fireplace. Seeing it burn to ashes in the fire, he felt the pleasure of annihilating the cage.

The minister’s assistant looked at the fourth prince’s inexplicable actions in a daze. Fortunately, the other party was always like this, and he did things without any sense of humor, and he could tell that the prince was in a good mood.

“It’s done, the ‘witch’ was hanged at noon,” Barov reported.

“Well, no one should see anything, right?” Roland tapped his pen, “Anyway, they are wearing hoods.”

In order to prevent the Holy See and the Witches’ Association from coming to the door, Roland ordered the warden to find a death row prisoner of similar stature from the dungeon to replace Anna, and rewarded everyone except the chief knight and minister’s assistant with 20 gold dragons as a hush money. .

This is an extremely lucrative income for them.

Barov also suggested whether to let the witnesses shut up forever, but Roland vetoed it.

He knew these secrets wouldn’t be kept for long, but it didn’t matter, he hoped someone would spread the news—as long as it wasn’t now.

It will be a matter of time to turn against the church, and no one can tolerate such a waste of resources by those idiots!

When other witches know that there is a small town on the border of the kingdom that allows them to live freely and even give them favorable treatment, what will the witches think?

No matter which era, talent is the most important thing.

“Then that’s it,” Roland ordered, “Next, you can give me a summary of the trade, taxation and necessary expenditures in Border Town for a year, as well as the workshops in the city, such as ironware, textiles, and pottery. For this type, also count the number and scale.”

“It will take three days to sort out these records, but…” Barov nodded first, and then seemed hesitant to speak.

“What else is there?” Roland knew that it was time to test his ability to talk.

The other party will always have doubts about everything he did yesterday. A dandy is a dandy, and a bad personality does not mean that there is a hole in the brain.

In the eyes of the assistant minister, such things as hiding witches are simply enemies of the world.

“Your Highness, I don’t understand…” Barov carefully chose his words, “In the past, although you messed around, they were all innocuous actions, but…why did you take such a big risk to save a witch? Hunting and killing them is not a big deal. It is a law set by the church, but your father, His Majesty Wimbledon also agrees with it very much.”

Roland thought for a while, then asked back, “Do you think Border Town is a good place?”

“Uh, this…” Although he didn’t quite understand how this sentence was related to his own question, Barov still answered truthfully, “It’s not that good.”

“It’s very bad. Compared with Jinsui City and Bishuigang, how likely do you think I am to be better than those brothers and sisters?”

“…” The assistant minister opened his mouth, but did not answer.

“Almost zero. So I can only change one way,” Roland watched blankly as the other party fell into the trap he set step by step, “a way that can impress father.”

He didn’t start from the perspective of whether a witch is considered an evil person, because that would have little effect – Barov has been an assistant to the Minister of Finance for twenty years, and he is already considered a qualified politician.

For politicians, interest is more persuasive than good or evil.

In addition, taking the emotional route is also not suitable for him. Roland recalled what the fourth prince did before, and found that he really cannot be considered as a kind and lawful camp.

So he chose the eternal conflict between secular kingship and religious theocracy as the starting point. The growing power of the Holy See was already a thorn in Wimbledon III’s heart.

The church declares that the world operates according to God’s will, and the Pope is God’s spokesman.

If the people find that what he said is not the truth, it will be full of loopholes, and the ruling power of religion will be greatly shaken.

Directly saying “witches are not evil, so I want to save them” is not convincing to the other party, but replacing it with “witches are not evil, I can use this to attack the church” can easily lead Barov to his own preset in conclusion.

“No matter how prosperous my brothers and sisters manage the territory, it is still the church’s pocket. They are already preaching the divine right of kings. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com If only the person crowned by the Pope can be regarded as the legal king , then are we still the actual rulers of this land?” Roland paused, “And my father can see such a hope in me: a kingdom without the Holy See, and the royal family enjoys all rights exclusively. Then his choice It will be very clear.”

Replacing “enemy against the whole world” with “enemy against the church only” is much easier to accept—not to mention that Barov himself is on the side of the royal family.

“Similarly, if he realizes that these people with strange abilities will be the basis for instigating the church, the hunting order is just a joke. On the one hand, there is no possibility, and on the other hand, the possibility is not zero. Do you think I am worth the risk? Is it dangerous?” Roland stared at the assistant to the minister and said word by word, “Don’t doubt my decision, Barov. You have been an assistant to the minister for twenty years, right? If I can become Wimbledon IV, your The word assistant can be removed. Or go a step further, such as… the Hand of the King?”

…

Looking at the back of Barov leaving, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that he doesn’t take his promise too seriously, which is normal. Even Roland himself never believed that this crazy plan just made up could be realized.

But that doesn’t matter at all, the key is to convince Barov that he really thinks so—a crude plan that a dandy can think of, not only fits the mentality of the fourth prince who hates the church, but also paves the way for attracting more witches in the future. leveled the road.

As for your real thoughts?

Even if they know it, they can’t understand it.

Roland called the maid, “Ask Miss Anna to come see me.”

Next, it’s time to get down to business.

he thought enthusiastically.
