Chapter 54: The Night Universe
"Brother Morad, will I be your bride when I grow up?"
"Haha, Hua Lian, you're still too young!"
"No, no, I'm going to marry Brother Morad!" said the tears of grievance that filled his eyes.
"Okay, good, Brother Morad will marry you as a bride when you grow up, Xiao Hualian don't cry, it's okay, it's not good to cry like a little flower. β
"Well, we'll make up our minds. The immature and unscrupulous voice promised solemnly.
...
The Templar looked at Hua Lian in silence, but did not say anything.
Hua Lian took a sip of black tea that had been blown cold by the night breeze, and then said softly: "I admit that the relationship I used to have was very silly and naΓ―ve, but Morad is indeed the only Prince Charming who has ever existed in my heart, and I have never been able to let go of his death." β
After that, Hua looked at the chief knight with a straight face, and said, "I have never been able to understand who can kill a dignified Templar knight on the East Island, and there are so many military groups around him. Hua Lian's words hit the nail on the head, and the knight chief remained silent.
Hua Lian said lightly: "Three years ago, I happened to have the opportunity to go to the East Island, so I found a way to replace Mei Ang, who was originally acting in the plan, and went to the East Island. β
The knight nodded slowly and said, "I also noticed your small actions at that time, but I thought that you might be out of curiosity about the incident in the East Island or obsessed with Morad's death, no matter what the reason is, maybe the East Island and his party will help you untie the knot, but now it seems that I indulged you too much." β
Listening to the vicissitudes of the knight's tone, Hua Lian's heart was also sour, this man who cared for himself like a father was under pressure and responsibility from many parties, and he was constantly caring for himself in a silent way, thinking about what he did was indeed a disappointment to this feeling.
However, Hua Lian did not regret this.
The two of them don't have to talk about the rest in detail, and they each know the general situation.
After a while, the knight said: "I feel very sorry for Morad's death, with his talent and strength, he can be said to be the best in the Templar at that time, at that time, you, Mei Ang, Wei Zhi and others did not appear, it can be said that the talents of the younger generation at that time were him and Shen Ming." Due to various reasons, Shen Ming did not enter the Holy Hall, so Morad became the object of our focus for cultivation for a while, and it is precisely because of this that I sent him to the East Island seven years ago, not only because things there were a little tricky, but more importantly, I hoped that he could get in touch with the more core events of the Moon Island through that incident, to put it bluntly, the purpose of that dispatch was more of a political gilding, but I didn't expect it..." The knight sighed, then reached for his teacup, only to find that it was empty.
Seeing this, the chief knight immediately gave up, sighed, looked up at the dark red night sky, and said: "At the beginning of its establishment, the Templar was just a secret organization of the Tsukishima military, and in response to the increasingly mecha-style battles at that time, in order for Tsukishima to be independent in the world, having its own military strength was the only way out. β
"Under that pressure, the Templar finally lived up to the trust, and eventually became the strongest soldier of the world's mecha battle group, which couldn't help but help Tsukishima's independence, and also won a great political position for the Templar. At this point, the Templar came out of the shadow of the Tsukishima military and became a unique existence, and the Templar began to grow from a military group to a political group. β
"However, in the beginning, the imprint left by the Templar was too serious, and from the first generation of the Templar Chief, the respect for the strong has become the iron rule in the Templar, and until today, the seat ranking of the Templar is determined by strength, except for the Knights. If Hugo knew this sentence, he would be surprised, he didn't dare to imagine that Hua Lian, who was only a few years older than him, would have such a powerful strength.
Speaking of this, the chief knight sighed lightly and said: "This method has advantages and disadvantages, as a mecha knight, it is natural to focus on strength, and the strong are respected, and everyone is convinced, but the disadvantage is that it is not conducive to the development of the Templar in the future, after all, as I said just now, the Templar is no longer just a military group." With a light sigh, the knight said, "From this point of view, neither you nor Wei Zhi are suitable to be the knight chief. β
Hua Lian pursed his lips and said: "If you want Mei Ang to be the chief knight, just say it, I am friends with him, and I will not stop him, and I am not unfamiliar with that position." β
The Knight Chief shook his head again, sighed lightly, and said, "This matter will be put aside for the time being, and the decision on the next generation of Knight Chief is not up to you and me." Hua Lian frowned, she heard a possibility from the knight's words.
The chief knight sprinkled the remaining black tea in the teapot directly on the stone floor, and the cold black tea had no taste value, and the worthless things naturally had to be thrown away.
Hua Lian saw this scene in her eyes.
"Tell me your top secret. The knight chief said slowly, and when Hua Lian suddenly remembered the real purpose of his coming here tonight, all the excitement and negative emotions before were subsided, and Hua Lian's face showed a serious expression.
"You seem to have discovered a lot of things during this trip to outer space. The knight said.
"I have always thought that the so-called joint expedition is the most hypocritical pretense, especially in the convenience of space exploration, where every country and each force has hidden its own strength for hundreds of years, and has its own calculations, publishing various data and exploration results at the same time. But you seem to be pretty confident in what you've found?"
Hua Lian stared at the knight and said, "For thousands of years, there have indeed been various intrigues in human civilization, but this time it will be possible that mankind will unite unprecedentedly. β
The knight chief's brows were already furrowed when he heard this, and he could naturally understand the meaning of Hua Lian's words.
There is only one possibility for people of different races and countries to unite, and that is to have the same enemy!
The knight said in a deep voice, "You mean... Is there really anyone outside of Earth?"
Since the emergence of life on the earth and the birth of civilization in the long history of human beings, human beings have never found other intelligent life forms. So do aliens really exist?
Hua Lian shook her head slightly, which surprised the knight chief slightly, and Hua Lian continued: "We haven't found any aliens yet, but... The enemy that humanity may be about to face is in the vast universe, and as for the time when war comes... Probably won't wait too long. β
With that, there was silence between the two, and above their heads, there was no light in the dark night sky.
