472 Casual dinner
From Ray Peters' reaction to Brutus' explanation, to Robben's look, these details were enough for Hoden to grasp the situation.
Twelve badges of nobility mean nothing to Hoden as an outsider, and to Hoden Helo, a poor boy living in the slums, he probably has limited meaning, but now he finally understands what these names mean.
However, Hodden was not afraid.
"Hoden, this is no small matter. Ray Peters spoke, in fact, seeing the twelve badges, he already believed what Hordon had seen and heard last night, because it was not something that could be fabricated casually, and besides, the power represented by these twelve surnames was indeed enough to influence the church.
Things may be even more terrible than imagined.
Raypeters didn't feel the slightest nervousness or uneasiness in Holden, and he had to open his mouth to remind, "This thing ......"
"It's not something we can control, I know, I know. Hoden took over and smiled at Ray Peters, reassuring him slightly, "Ray, I already knew. ”
"Whether it is Lingyi, or the confrontation between the technology school and the psionic school, these things have been foreshadowed long ago, and things are not so simple. Now, the appearance of these twelve names confirms our suspicions, and no matter what the truth is, we are in the right direction. ”
If it weren't for these twelve deterrent and shocking surnames, then it would be difficult to find a reasonable explanation for all the things that Horden had investigated before, after all, there were too many things involved in any one of them - not to mention, things like immortality are often things that are only thought about after having everything.
Imagine if they were dock workers, hungry and precarious, how could they want to live forever? Even if they want to live and die with their loved ones, they don't have the time and energy to think about immortality, and survival is their most urgent goal in life.
Only the nobility!
The aristocrats who sit on wealth and glory, the rich who stand at the top of the pyramid, they are the people who chase immortality.
Seeing these twelve names, Horden didn't have too many emotional ups and downs, not because he didn't understand the weight of these names, but because he could understand them, so he calmed down, so that everything could be connected.
"I'm afraid that Viscount Philo is only the most insignificant branch of this link. ”
Howlen said that what they were seeing now was probably the most insignificant tip of a vast iceberg.
Spirit animals.
Church.
Demon.
Eternal life.
Psionics and Technocrats.
None of the above things can be shaken by the level of Holden or Ray Peters, and now these things seem to be inextricably linked, which also means ...... If they enter a labyrinth now, they may just be standing at the entrance to the labyrinth.
Ray Peters looked at the breezy Holden, a little overwhelmed, and turned his head to look at Brutus, only to see Brutus chuckling.
Ray Peters didn't know why.
Brutus met Thunder's gaze, "Anyway, no one opponent can be handled by us, so what difference does it make if one is still two or twelve?"
There is a lot of debt and no pressure, which is probably such a mentality.
Robben, who lowered his head, also regained his voice, "Against any opponent, we may be killing ourselves, anyway, we can only die once, so many opponents, there is no difference, Blue, right?"
The cold voice revealed a hint of chill, and Robben, who had experienced many ups and downs in his mood, finally found his original appearance again.
Ray Peters looked at Brutus and Robben, and then at the calm Hoden, and could even find a relaxed smile in Hoden's eyes, like a clear sky after rain, a trace of clouds stretched out lazily, inexplicably calming people down.
Even with it, the smile on the corner of Thunderpeters' mouth rose a little helplessly, and he tried to say something, but he couldn't say it after all, and his tense state of mind collapsed, and he finally laughed.
The silence and tension were broken in this way, and the light laughter re-energized the air.
Among the four people, Holden should be the calmest and most calm one, from beginning to end he is that familiar appearance, and his lazy expression of not waking up is as if he is absent-minded.
"There is no need to scare yourself, before the fight, start talking about death here. To be honest, I'm not prepared to take it lightly. ”
"The tree is big and has dead branches. These badges do represent the high nobility, and they are beyond the reach of Lei, but they do not mean that the entire family behind the surname is involved, it may be that other people borrow these surnames to act, it may be that a small number of marginal people in the family are involved, or it may be that there is opposition and competition between different interest groups in the family. ”
"Just looking at the badge, the information that can be gained right now is very limited, in other words, there is still a lot of room for breakthrough that we can find, and there is no need to push ourselves to the extreme before the crisis comes. These badges, just as a reminder of what we're up against, are enough. ”
Originally, I thought that Horden was joking, but gradually, the understatement made the atmosphere slowly calm down-
Indeed, Holden only provided the badge, and the identity of the nobles in those carriages, what their position was in the family, and what was the attitude of the people in charge of the family, these details have not yet been confirmed, and they really don't need to scare themselves.
Thunder Peters could understand that Howlen's words were correct, but he still had an uncontrollable absurdity about their current situation and state, and finally he was amused by himself, and he restrained his smile slightly, "So, what should we do next?"
In the face of such a behemoth, even if they knew about the existence of gaps and loopholes, they had no way to start, because their strength was really too small, and those small fights might just tickle the enemy to do so, but they did not cause any damage, and also exposed themselves to the possibility of causing the annihilation of the whole army.
Hodden dropped a scorching sunning into his mouth and glanced lazily at Ray Peters, "Are you sure?"
Instead of answering the question head-on, he asked another question, a question that didn't end there.
However, Ray Peters could feel the subtle change in Holden's eyes, and although the tone was still the same, the attention revealed in his eyes conveyed the deep meaning of the words:
This is not a joke, this is a real life-and-death decision. Before, everything was just speculation, and now, the behemoth hidden in the darkness has gradually been revealed, so are they still sure?
