"What?"

Thomas frowned and asked, instinctively feeling a little inappropriate that Ling Qi would promise him so easily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The people of the Brotherhood, though arrogant, are definitely not idiots. Thomas is one of the few who is still sober-minded. Even if it's a hypocrisy and a snake, there is no one like Ling Qi who dares to agree to any conditions!

Did he really plan to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

Even if he didn't care about fame, didn't he fear the Brotherhood's force, or did he think he could claim the throne in the course of the war?

Before Thomas could sneer, he was directly frightened by Ling Qi's conditions.

"My request is simple, Veronica has to be my wife. In addition, you must promote her to the rank of Paladin for free. And, after she becomes an elder, she must also be the first elder in Nevada. ”

"No!" "Yes!"

Four voices sounded almost at the same time, and what made Elder Wufu angry was that in addition to himself, even his old friend Fox and the taciturn Michael May would agree to such a ridiculous request!

How can a paladin of the Brotherhood intermarry with an outsider! How can a paladin who marries with an outsider become an Elder or the First Elder!

"Hmph!

"According to Article 7, Article 9 of the Supreme Law of the Brotherhood, those who have made outstanding contributions to the Brotherhood may be recruited and awarded the title of Paladin!"

"According to the first rule of Article 9 of the Supreme Law of the Brotherhood, the elder of this council will be a retired paladin. In principle, the Supreme Elder of the Headquarters must be a pure-blood descendant of the Mark Thorne family. ”

"Elder Wufu, outsiders can still become paladins of this guild, why can't Nika. With Mr. Lynch's tremendous contribution to the Guild, I don't think there would be any problem in promoting him to be a paladin of the Guild. In addition, the First Elder is not the Supreme Elder, and I think Nika Paladin is fully capable of doing it after retiring. ”

Thomas exclaimed, as if he had seen the Brotherhood rise again under his leadership!

Wu Fu was speechless by his refutation, according to the rules, this is indeed nothing wrong. But for 200 years, no other fraternity chapter has heard of such a precedent.

Treaties are dead, and the authority is still in the hands of men!

Ling Qi looked at the people with different expressions, looked at Veronica whose face was blue and red, stood up for the first time, walked quickly to the girl's side, and hugged her from behind.

"Nika and I are in love, and I'm sure none of you here would want to see a couple of people who really love each other forced to separate because of some old rules. ”

He held down Veronica, who was trembling all the time, it didn't matter if she was happy or angry, ashamed or annoyed, as long as she didn't jump out to object at this time, then this matter would be done.

As for whether Veronica can really become the first elder in forty or fifty years, who can say.

At this moment, Ling Qi's thoughts were so similar to Thomas's.

The difference is that he only needs the present, he needs the kinetic equipment, and he needs the technology that these people promise to support!

While paying attention to the reactions of the authorities, he looked at the friend attribute panel, and the friendship value on it did not fluctuate like the girl's face.

Ling Qi breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly lowered his head again, and whispered in Veronica's ear:

"If you don't worry about that Nana, I can speak to Mr. Thomas privately and bring her over as well. I don't mind if my wife marries another lady for me. Plus, I really like you. ”

Saying such shameless words, casual sweet words. Veronica was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and her chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

Ling Qi let go of her at this time, and then came to Thomas, and said seriously:

"In the future, I'll leave everything in New Vegas to me and Nika's children, and I'm happy to join the fraternity and be a member of it, but of course, it's better not to make it public yet. ”

His statement simply made the ambitious Thomas happy. He felt that he had foreseen that in a few hundred years, the flag of the Brotherhood would be planted all over the world, and that he Thomas Strong would leave a strong mark in the annals of history!

Elder Wu Fu seemed to be very dissatisfied with this result, and angrily shook his sleeves and left, and Fortes made an apologetic expression to Ling Qi and hurriedly chased after him.

Thomas looked at the direction the two of them left, narrowing his eyes slightly, where was the respect before the negotiation.

"Mr. Thomas, the attitude of your elders should not affect our cooperation. Privately, I personally only recognize you as a partner. ”

Hearing such explicit words, Thomas's angry expression suddenly retracted, and he smiled:

"Mr. Lynch is indeed a sensible man, and it is no wonder that he can become a leader at a young age. Rest assured, no one can stand in the way of the alliance between the Brotherhood and New Vegas, no one!"

"I'm sure that both Fox and Elder Wufu can understand my painstaking efforts, and as for some things that really can't be understood—"

Thomas glanced at the entrance when Ling Qi came, and said:

"As for those who hinder the development and growth of the Brotherhood, no matter how noble his status is, I, as the last guardian of the Brotherhood, will not allow him to do anything wrong!"

Just as he was looking, across the aisle, an old clerk in a white robe was hurrying with an angry face on his face.

Half an hour later, Ling Qi attended a special banquet in the cafeteria of the underground fortress of the Brotherhood, similar to the cafeteria in those schools and units in peacetime.

There are no ornately arranged long tables, no elegant lighting, and no waiters coming and going to welcome guests.

This is not so much a banquet for him as a dinner and a carnival within the brotherhood.

Ling Qi noticed that the people attending the banquet seemed to be all reckless men with five big and three rough people, and the few women were all slender and vigorous, and none of them were weak.

In the center of the front of the restaurant hangs a huge flag, the icon on the flag Ling Qi has also been seen in other places, and the pure white background is painted with a heraldic graphic symbol.

It was a long sword wrapped around a pair of wings from the end, and the two sides of the long sword had three gears, one large, two small, and one that were stuck together like a precision machine.

Blue wings, gray swords, and black gears make up a simple and unique symbol.

Seeing that he was observing the flag, Thomas, who was full of wine, couldn't help but lean in front of Ling Qi and said in a deep voice:

"That's the badge of our brotherhood, it's beautiful. ”

Without waiting for Ling Qi to reply, he continued;

"Many people say that the badge represents the structure of the fraternity and speaks of the different missions of the different members. The sword represents the paladin, the wings represent the elder and control the movement of the sword, the cog represents the knight, and the pinion represents the clerk and the beginner. It's not the same as what is written in the rules, but it's interesting, isn't it? ”

"It's just that, why is the wings controlling the sword? Why isn't it that after the sword is attached to the wings, it can fly freely, and it can cross a thousand miles to kill the enemy chief and pierce the sky at any time!"

Thomas's tone is intense, and his drunken state and identity as a listener make him no longer hide his desires.

"Trust me, Mr. Lingqi, what you need is a sword that can slash your enemies, not wings that can fly away at any moment. ”

With that, the man laughed and turned to mingle with the members of his brotherhood.

Ling Qi smiled slightly, touched a glass with the unknown sergeant and knight who followed him, and drank all the liquor in the cup in one gulp, which won a lot of applause.

"Hehe, I do need a sword that can kill for me, but first make sure that it doesn't hit back. ”

Thinking of this, he smiled even more heartily, completely blending in with the joyful atmosphere around him.

In the corner of the restaurant, Veronica, who was supposed to be one of the protagonists of the banquet, was holding the purple-haired girl in her arms and comforting her after scaring away several old friends who wanted to strike up a conversation with that murderous gaze.

If it was usual, some people would have reprimanded her coldly, but now due to the acquiescence of the high-level, she has not encountered trouble.

"Nika, is he the one you want to marry?"

The slender girl with her hair dyed purple was a bit on the thin side, and it was hard to believe that she was also a formal knight if it weren't for the gray blade on the epaulette of her uniform.

The girl looked at the man who was sometimes reserved and sometimes wild in the crowd, and examined his social skills with the eyes of a bystander, and saw that he was indeed a powerful character.

Handsome appearance, good conversation, in addition to being a little heavier, it can be regarded as very affinity.

Many of the Brotherhood members who had been hostile to him at the beginning of the feast, or who had seemed estranged, quickly let their guard down against him.

Of course, the credit of the chief paladin Thomas is indispensable, but his scheming can also be seen.

"She's quite handsome, no wonder my Nika is emotional. However, you have to be careful, such a man will definitely be attentive in the future. ”

"Alas~ I thought you would be single-minded towards me, but I didn't expect you to be a negative man, and you deserve to find a ghost. ”

The purple-haired girl complained faintly, and there was a taste of pity for me.

There were several male knights on the side with straight eyes, but they didn't dare to approach Veronica's aura.

"Hmph, you little girl, what are you thinking about, how could I abandon you for a man!"

"Don't worry, I've already told him that I'll take you back when the time comes. ”

"When it comes to the ceremony, he will marry me first, and I will marry you again, or it will be over!"

Veronica whispered jaw-dropping words in the girl's ear.

"Otherwise, you'll marry him then, so that all three of us will be fair." ”

This girl's neural circuits are definitely different from ordinary people, and her thoughts always seem bizarre and absurd.

Unexpectedly, the girl who looked younger than Veronica and had just begun to develop by sight really thought about it seriously, and then raised her head and asked with a red face:

"Will he agree?"

"Why don't you agree?"

Veronica asked rhetorically, and the purple-haired girl nodded seriously, as if she really couldn't find a reason for Ling Qi's objection.

The conviviality of the banquet did not last until the end, and the laughter of the crowd was ended by a sudden quarrel.

Caught in trouble is a certain chief knight, who seems to be a die-hard member of Thomas's command and his former martial arts instructor.

And the troublemaker was a civilian who was not included in the invitation list.

Judging by his clothes and epaulettes, he was not even the chief clerk in the management class, but an old clerk in his seventies.

In terms of actual combat, such an old guy is not an opponent of a full-fledged knight when he is fully armed. When it comes to mouth cannons, none of the ten knights can argue with him.

Although the old man who had the precedent of opening his mouth and closing his mouth never pointed his gun at Ling Qi, the only stranger on the field, he was still keenly aware of his hostility.

Ling Qi had no intention of interfering in the internal power disputes of the Brotherhood, and this attitude won Thomas's favor.

With Veronica and another extra little tail, Ling Qi was led by Michael Paladin to the room arranged for him by the Brotherhood, right across the door from the dormitory where Veronica had used.

Michael May, who was not good at words, seemed a little worried about the situation over there and hurried away. As they left the restaurant, they heard the sound of smashing glasses and flipping tables from inside.

"Eh~ Ling Qi, this is Lyanna Lolitaya, she is~ She is my lover, that..."

Veronica looked at Ling Qi who was contemplative, and didn't know how to tell what she had promised her lover for a while.

Ling Qi lowered his head, his eyes were deep, his left index finger was against the center of his eyebrows, and his palm covered his mouth and nose, which suddenly set off the narrow eyelids even more evilly.

"What did you say?"

Hearing Veronica's words, he was obviously stunned for a moment and asked casually.

He suddenly remembered something, but he really didn't hear what Veronica said for a while.

"This—"

Veronica was asked by him and became even more distracted.

However, it was the slender purple-haired girl who stood up with a slightly bulging chest, stared at Ling Qi and said loudly:

"That's right, I heard Nika say you're a nice guy to get along with. So we want to ask if you can get her to marry me after marrying Nika. ”

Ling Qi was stunned when he heard this, he seemed to have said this earlier, but at that time, there was a joke and teasing in it.

"Well..."

Ling Qi put Fang Cai's thoughts behind him, took a closer look at Veronica's lover, and found that he was indeed a cute stunner, but unfortunately it hadn't grown yet.

She should be a little younger than Veronica, the two are about the same height, but in terms of the development of secondary sexual characteristics, this girl is much inferior to Veronica.

Ling Qi's gaze crossed her chest, lingering on her epaulettes for a moment, and quickly slid away.

"How's that!"

The girl asked seemingly casually, but Ling Qi could feel her nervousness.

"Yes, I'll talk to Thomas and ask you to replace one of the riders. Actually, as long as Nika is happy, it's no problem for me to marry you. ”

Ling Qi said lightly, for this kind of good thing sent to the door, a fool would refuse.

Don't say one, as long as someone is really willing, he will accept ten hundred or hundred.

Responsibility, obligation?

"Yay~"

The two girls made a triumphant gesture, and they probably didn't understand what it meant.

Hearing two consecutive prompts from the Juggernaut, Ling Qi opened Veronica and Lyanna's attribute panels one after another, only expressing his satisfaction that the former had increased to 96 points.

As for her new friend Lyanna, her 82 friendship points only ensure that she will not betray herself under normal circumstances, and her strength is inferior to Veronica in every way.

"Dynamic Vision Enhancement", "Combat Assist Control Module"?

If Veronica is the only one with this talent and special ability, it can be said to be an exception. But even Lyanna has similar skills and talents, which can only show that this is already a technology that has been matured and mastered by the Brotherhood, similar to biological gene implantation!

And to be able to intensify on a large scale, this technology is definitely more complete and cost-effective than gene implantation!

The evaluation of the Brotherhood of Steel increased again, and the covetousness deepened, and suddenly, Ling Qi's eyes as he looked at the two little white rabbits became more and more harmonious.

After spending three full days at the Brotherhood Residence, the tip of the iceberg immediately gained the recognition and respect of everyone, including Paladin Thomas.

His perverted learning ability was also exposed in the process of in-depth communication, and outsiders certainly wouldn't know how much Juggernaut and Mr. Hao helped him during this period!

He even had Mr. Yes secretly download a lot of confidential cutting-edge technology materials during a mission to "use PP Kid to help Brotherhood members maintain abandoned terminals".

Unfortunately, there are still many firewalls in the Brotherhood's private network, and petty theft is not a blatant robbery, most of these materials are incomplete, and the real gains are extremely limited.

In line with the principle of going around, Ling Qi still asked Mr. Hao to leave a simplified set of data backups in the Brotherhood's private network and lurk.

Since this process has been monitored, Ling Qi's proficiency in electronic technology is not up to the level of a hacker at all, and his behavior is also decent, but it does not arouse suspicion.

Who would have thought that there would be a good gentleman lurking in the PP boy, who can be called the biggest outlier in this world?

It wasn't until the fourth day that New Vegas prepared and officially issued an ultimatum to all parties, affirming that it had formed an alliance with the Brotherhood of Steel and helped each other~

Thomas, the chief paladin who was sure that the two parties had been in cahoots and had also become the target of public criticism, made a false suggestion to Ling Qi to see him off.

This meeting, which was amiable on the surface, I don't know how much deception was hidden in private.

In Ling Qi's perception, Michael Mei's strong breath of life would never be more than twenty meters away from him!

Either next door or in some other corner where he can't see!

He was sure that he would not be allowed to leave the bunker even if New Vegas had not made an official announcement.

It's just that, probably Thomas couldn't have imagined that someone would dare to do ghosts in someone else's lair and under his nose!

Almost at the same time as the announcement was made from New Vegas, the Brotherhood was using radio technology in less than an hour. Occupy all Nevada-native radio channels, make the same announcement.

For a while, Nevada, which was already a little rainy and ready to come, instantly became noisy!

The eighteenth warning letter issued by the NRC to Ling Qi was also directly replaced with a declaration of war.

On the same day, the Great Elder of the Local Brotherhood rushed back, and the first thing he did was to attack the Chief Paladin Thomas.

However, it was no longer the smug disciples who greeted him, but several heavily armed power armor warriors!

Grand Elder Electric's struggle stopped when he met Fawkes and Wufu, and he couldn't imagine that he was the only one left in the entire Brotherhood who was still prejudiced against such a thing.

He finally knew why none of his loyal subordinates had been seen, he hated that he had left at such a time, he hated the demon who had lured the Brotherhood to fall without even meeting him!
