How could Santrola, a man who knew nothing, make any deal with François.

In the end, François had no choice but to relent, and told everything about the situation.

It turns out that as Jacques guessed, the royal family and the Mithril Society trial winners have made a deal here since hundreds of years ago.

The Mithril Society is still the Mithril Society, but the future president who has passed the trial has colluded with the royal family alone, using the support of the royal family to develop his own power and fight against dissidents in the guild.

The cost was to turn the overthrow of the House of Cesara into a mere slogan.

In fact, since the death of Tetsuo Island, the head of the original Mithril Society, this has become a slogan.

The rulers of the Mithril Society in the past generations are satisfied with the setting of "King of the Underworld", as long as their lives are good and their own lineage can be passed on, why bother to fight the Empire?

Isn't it good to enjoy life?

Overthrow the royal family and let future generations do it.

Since they have not grabbed the most critical "Space Folding Instrument", the royal family does not dare to be ruthless against the Mithril Society, and generally speaking, it is just a matter of rectifying the peripheral organizations.

It's just that due to various accidents and the royal family's turnaround, no young man from the Mithril Society has been able to leave here in the past hundred years, and there is no new president, so the fragile cooperation between the two sides has been interrupted.

"What should I do?" Jacques asked Fat Orange for his opinion.

"The two of them?" Fat Orange glanced at François, who looked pitiful, and Sandra, whose worldview collapsed, with a dazed face.

"It's not just the two of them, it's ......," Jacques drew a circle, and Fat immediately understood what he meant.

This spaceship!

After a while, Jacques, who had been silent for a long time in François's opinion, asked him a question: "Tell me, why did you know that this place would be opened a year earlier!"

François replied, "When Ancestor Cesar left here, he brought with him a magical item that could be used to connect with Shaw, but ...... That one...... Those of us who are descendants did not study the words of our ancestors well, and can only barely recognize some numbers and simple words.

This time, I was notified that the passage would be opened a year and a half in advance, so I hurriedly looked for you.

That one...... I'm looking for you because I'm worried that I'll be proud of Mithril if I can't handle it...... If you can't beat it here, you can still ...... out."

Jacques also understood that they were an insurance policy for François's self-insurance, and he may have prepared several layers of this insurance, although they were all suppressed by Fat Orange, but don't underestimate a family that has been standing at the top of the continent for thousands of years.

Sandra was ignorant, her experience and experience still found it difficult to understand the dirty collusion between the Mithril Society and the royal family, she had been excited to become the president of the Mithril Society, but now that she thought about it, it didn't taste good.

Jacques also rubbed salt in her wounds, reminding her that the current acting president of the Mithril Society would be willing to give her power, and whether her side would be able to subdue the other veins to keep her in power.

The meeting on the outskirts of Port Mousse, Jacques had attended, and it should have been Robert and his supporters who had won, and now it's hard to say whether the Second Elder is still hooking up with the Great Elder, if Sandra is pushed out to compete for the president, will the Second Elder be able to get the support of the Great Elder?

In the middle of speaking, Jacques suddenly asked François, "Do you know who the current Mithril President is?"

"I don't know......" François shook his head.

"Then you really haven't infiltrated the Mithril Society, let me tell you, it's Robert, Robert Batista. ”

"Impossible!" cried François.

"No......" He quickly accepted the reality, because only then could some things make sense.

Jacques knew that François and Robert were old rivals, and the two sides had cheated each other many times, but in fact, he knew that far from what actually happened.

When Jacques was still a student at the École d'Eve, François and Robert fought over the investment in the Gyeonggi and Northern Regions railways, with Roberto co-opting François's uncle and Prince Hart snatching control of the Northern Railway. 123 Literary Network

Later, it was the cooperation of the steel mills. François threatened to support Robert's life and help him become Auxiliary Minister of Castile in exchange for the Batiste family's iron-making technology and built his own steel mill in the Northern Regions.

However, Robert soon killed his predecessor Shousuke, ascended to the throne himself, and also united with others to cut off François's steel sales and iron ore sources through vicious competition.

In order to resolve this crisis, not to waste the achievements of the previous years, and to make a good impression in front of his father, François had to turn to his current father-in-law, the Marquis de Schweig, and only then was he relieved.

Then came the crisis of war between Stuart and the royal family, and by this time Robert's power was already very strong, and even if François guessed that Robert was involved, he could not find any solid evidence.

And he even speculated that the assassination of his engagement, and even the siege of the Stuart Navy in the New World, had the shadow of Robert's involvement.

In the past, he thought that it was because he had humiliated Robert, which led to his violent revenge, but now everything makes sense.

Sandra was furious at Jacques for revealing Robert's identity, but after a while, she understood his deep meaning and quietly cast a grateful gaze.

"How long will it be before we can get out?" asked Jacques François in a sluggish state.

It was a moment before François took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and replied, "It's less than a day." ”

"Okay, we'll wait. ”

Turning around, Jacques told Lily that Fat Orange would protect them later, and that he would take Sandra with him and that he would talk to Shaw alone.

Judging from Shaw's refusal to board the Grandmaster, Shaw's combat effectiveness should be very weak, and he can barely protect himself externally, and he still lacks means to threaten internally, as long as he can resist Shaw's expulsion, he can communicate with him well.

According to Fat Orange's guess, Shaw is most likely a formation spirit, and in the face of a principled array spirit, Jacques touched the dagger on his waist and felt that he was still very experienced.

......

Time passed quickly, the exit opened, and Shaw's voice appeared for the first time, asking François if he had opened the space folding channel, and Shaw was disappointed after receiving a negative reply.

Jacques noticed that Shaw didn't care how many people had come out of the hallway.

After a while, the light door of the passage went out, and Shaw began to evict visitors.

Lily, Marianne, and the others were teleported out one after another, but when they arrived at Jacques, the teleportation failed, and Jacques was still in it until François left the ship.

Shaw soon discovered Jacques's "foreign body", and after continuous unsuccessful discharge, Jacques finally spoke.

"Hey, Shaw, I'm Jacques, don't waste your efforts, I can solidify the space, you can't expel me, now, can we talk?"

After a while, the female voice finally replied, "Very interesting, you are one of the most special creatures I have met on this planet, what do you want to talk about? ”

Jacques waved his hand: "Then you don't have to, it's good here." Can I ask, what are you?"

Shaw replied without saying a word, "I am the intelligent control system for this ship, the sixth generation of HAL, implemented in 2595......"

Jacques interrupted, "I don't understand, to put it simply, are you alive? I know you're not human, I'm asking, do you have a life?"

Shaw still said without a word: "I'm just a set of algorithms, a bunch of programs, although I'm constantly upgrading and improving myself, but I don't think I'm a human being, but I'm a ...... life."

Jacques: "Please continue!"

Shaw's tone was a little agitated: "Life lives on negative entropy, this is the definition given by an extremely intelligent person on my planet, who uses entropy to measure the degree of chaos in a system.

The life process is a process of increasing entropy, and the living life maintains a state of low entropy. In order to survive, life must continuously ingest order, i.e., negative entropy, while emitting metabolic waste and waste heat into the surrounding environment.

And I, being able to realize my own existence and constantly improve myself, I need energy replenishment from the outside world, and my existence also has a purpose, so in my opinion, I am alive!"
