South Korea, home of the U.S. Ambassador to Korea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Ambassador's wife took Mira and Barbara to the kitchen to make their own Christmas gingerbread, while the three women chatted and waited to sit and prepare for Christmas.
Outside, in the living room, the ambassador sat with Ebrun in front of the lit fireplace and said, "So, you sank the two Icelandic whaling ships?"
"Yes, but I'm only here to admit it, and I won't admit it except at home. Abron nodded.
The ambassador observed Ebrun's expression, shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that you are still a little uncomfortable. β
Ebrun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Indeed, I didn't think too much about it when I saw humans struggling to survive in the icy waters. But ......," said Ebron, shaking his head again, "but I really couldn't bear it at the time. β
The ambassador sighed slightly and said, "I didn't expect your eldest sister and Phoebe to be ruthless, but you are the same as your second sister." Then he smiled and said, "But it's nothing, I was like you at first, and I couldn't easily accept death happening in front of my eyes." β
Emrun said with some shame, "Father...... I'm the only man in the family, and I'm supposed to take on these things, and I also went to West Point, so ......"
The ambassador smiled again and said: "Ebron, it's nothing, I was worse than you at the beginning, if it weren't for your mother always supporting me and helping me, to be honest, I wouldn't have been able to send you to West Point, from this point of view, our family has been a woman since my generation, it is a woman who is stronger, hehe, but there is nothing to be ashamed of, you will get used to it in the future." β
Emrun smiled wryly and nodded.
The ambassador shook his head again and said: "I just didn't expect that Phoebe this kid could be so new, to be honest, when your mother and I heard that she didn't want to go to school anymore, we had already given up on her training in this direction, which was really unexpected." β
Not knowing what to say, Ebron paused and said, "Maybe it's something in her veins that motivates her, you know, the English knighthood." Oh, by the way, I still remember that the Lin family before her was also a big family. β
The ambassador nodded and said, "Well, sometimes it is true that after going through so many things, even if God does not allow it, I have to believe that there is such a thing as fate." β
Ebrun nodded and said, "Actually, since I became the CEO and saw the plans that Phoebe prepared for me, I believed in fate more than in God." β
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know each other so quickly. The ambassador laughed.
Eblon tilted his head and said, "Well, no, it should be since I saw you being controlled by my mother when I was a child, and then I was controlled by my eldest sister and a few others, I began to believe in fate, hehe." β
"Hehehe~"
Ebron said again: "By the way, when it comes to fate, there is something I have to ask you about, our family has nothing to do with some secret orders, right?"
The ambassador was stunned: "Secret Order?"
Ebron frowned and nodded, "Recently, there are two orders that have been trying to contact me, one of them says that I am Noah of the new millennium, and the Atlantic Floater is the Ark, and they claim to be followers of Noah's Way. β
The ambassador shook his head with a smile and said, "What about the other one?"
Abron shrugged his shoulders: "The latter one is more evil, saying that in May 1998, the sun's sunquake was because aliens were sending spies to the earth, and Phoebe, you know, her 98 years, according to these people, Phoebe is the alien spy, collecting intelligence on the earth, preparing for the aliens to attack the earth or something, let me not be obsessed...... He also said that aliens had already begun to transmit viruses to the earth through the sun, and the United States sent a new type of virus in an average of eleven years, or made the virus more virulent or something, saying that if I didn't dare to go in and kill Phoebe, Phoebe would cause the end of the world by 2012. By the way, they also said that even if it was okay in 2012, Phoebe would guide Apophis to Earth in 2036......"
Hearing how detailed Ebron's statement was about the latter order, the ambassador smiled wryly and asked, "Do you think it makes sense?"
Eblon shook his head and said, "To be honest, Phoebe and her Iapetus's technology is indeed amazing, at least many of the technologies used on the Atlantic Floaters are indeed not like Earth technology." β
The ambassador smiled: "Don't forget, Phoebe has been different from ordinary children since she was a child, she ......" Before the words were finished, the ambassador first shook his head, and then shook his head with a smile: "No wonder you will be confused, those cults are good at combining all kinds of things together to compile their theories, but the latter one obviously still has a certain scientific literacy, and it is really impossible to refute them for a while." β
Ebrun smiled again at this time and said: " Hehe, I asked people to check this order, when Phoebe was in Boston to save the police, this order was eyeing Phoebe, but at that time they were a branch of a witch worship society around Salem, and the reason they were eyeing Phoebe was that Titan first sold the black water script on the bracelet table, this order felt that those priestly words belonged to the text of a lost Eastern witch school, and later when they checked Phoebe, they saw some magic performed by Phoebe in Korea, and declared that Phoebe was a living witch who had obtained the elemental inheritance, and was their leaderγ Phoebe was also contacted for this, but Phoebe ignored them. It is not known why this witch-worshipping church branched off into what appears to be a Scientology. β
The ambassador shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, not only in the United States, but also in South Korea, there are people who have some strange worship of Phoebe Phoebe, I still pay attention to her news, in the first half of the year, a branch group of the Catholic Awakening Church also contacted Phoebe, saying that she is a female Christ...... I had the Koreans knock out the church, and it turned out that the gang were all scammers trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cheat money. β
Ebrun smiled, "Father, it's Christmas soon, shall we talk about this?"
The ambassador blinked and whispered, "Tell you, in fact, your mother and I haven't been to church for a long time." β
Ebron was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why, didn't you go every week when you were a child?"
The ambassador shook his head helplessly and said, "The churches here in South Korea are a little ...... It's too fanatical, it's not a good thing, and I don't want to go to any church as an identity, so I don't go. β
Abron nodded, in fact, after he studied at West Point, he went to church less often, to be precise, most of his classmates.
When the two fell into a short silence, the ambassador's wife walked into the room with a small plate, and saw that the two were talking at first, but they stopped talking after they came in, so they couldn't help but ask while walking: "Hey~ What are you talking about?"
When Ebron saw that it was his mother, he quickly stood up and leaned over to take the plate, and when he saw that it was freshly made gingerbread, he grinned and put it in his mouth, and now he didn't have to explain anything.
The ambassador was not as ghostly as his son, so he sat down in his chair and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, we talked about Phoebe about it." β
"Oh, what earth-shattering things are the little girl doing again? Hehe, from the moment she negotiated with us that she wouldn't go to school, I knew she would always surprise the family. The ambassador's wife said with a smile, but after speaking, she turned her head to look at Barbara who came in: "Barbara, what did Phoebe do? β
Barbara was also stunned, and said that Phoebe hadn't done anything recently, and as for the violin project, it was absolutely impossible to say, so Barbara pretended to be innocent and shook her head, and looked at Ebron by the way.
Poor Ebrun pretended to taste gingerbread, but after being glanced at by Barbara, he had to say honestly: "It's not that Phoebe has been doing something lately, I just talked to my father about the cult group that wanted to have a relationship with Phoebela." β
The ambassador's wife nodded her head and said: "Oh, this incident has also happened in South Korea before, if you are too good, it is indeed easy to be admired, aren't you the same, I heard that your female fans often send you nude photos to show love?"
Mira grinned and mended: "There are not only female fans, but also male fans, the GLBT industry does not have to pay less attention to the technology upstart than the entertainment industry, and our family's Ebron also happens to belong to the technology upstart." β
Barbara couldn't help but smile and look at Ebron.
Ebron said a little depressedly: "I annoy those people to death, and they send photos or some ambiguous words at every turn, and often make the day's good mood gone." β
Barbara immediately smiled and said, "Who told you to tell reporters on this issue that you still support them." β
Ebron made a gesture of surrender and said, "Well, I was wrong, I knew that if I had strictly followed the rules of the press, I probably wouldn't have done these things, and I shouldn't have acted on my own initiative." β
Barbara shrugged her shoulders at Mira, who shook her head and said to Ebron, "I've read the rules for you, and to be honest, if someone told me everything I should be careful about when I first came to work in Washington, I'd only be grateful, and nothing else." β
When the ambassador and the ambassador's wife heard Mira say this, they couldn't help but ask, "Who gave the rules of Ebron?"
Both Ebrun and Mira stretched out their fingers at Barbara, who hurriedly said, "It's not that I'm not me, it's Phoebe who did it, I just provided a little advice." β
Both the ambassador and the ambassador's wife knew that Barbara had worked in the intelligence service for a long time, and that she was also in the foreign intelligence service, so they were more inclined to believe that Barbara was modest, on the one hand, it could be seen that Barbara still cared about Ebron very much, so they mentioned him, and on the other hand, they felt that the reason why Barbara pushed the benefits to Phoebe may be because she was afraid that Ebron felt that her girlfriend was too strong - more than forget, Barbara was bigger than Ebron.
Therefore, the ambassador's wife changed the topic with a smile and said: "Okay, let's do it, let's not talk about this, let's try the gingerbread this time, the honey brought by Barbara tastes very good." β
Mira is a good person, and she also guessed the direction that the ambassador's wife wanted, and deliberately said to Ebron: "It's Barbara who just wants to bring some gifts, and you didn't bring anything when you came back, but it's really yours." β
At this time, Ebrun was triumphant and said, "Haha~ I brought Barbara back, isn't that enough?"
Barbara couldn't help but give Ebrun a blank look, and the ambassador's wife sat down with a smile.
At this time, the ambassador also came over, took a piece of gingerbread and tasted it, nodded and said, "Well, the honey this time tastes better than the previous Phoebe sent by people, have you invested in the apiary?"
Ebron immediately scrambled: "Ha, you don't know this, do you? The honey sent by Phoebe is from Germany, and this time the honey is from my island. β
Barbara nodded and said, "The surface area of the Atlantic Floater is 5,000 square kilometers, and Phoebe has been thinking about how to build the island's ecosystem, and this hybrid bee species of bees and bumblebees is a part of the island's ecosystem. β
Mira was a little stunned and asked, "Can bees and bumblebees also hybridize?"
Ebron said again: "It is the product of genetic manipulation, this new bee species is more fierce than killer bees, in the wild on the island, there are no natural predators, Phoebe means that in the future, the vigilance task in many areas of the island will be entrusted to these bees." β
Mira was still puzzled: "Alert mission, if someone really wants to invade, there are many ways to prevent bee attacks, right?"
Barbara said, "Not really, in fact, this new type of bee should be considered a genetically modified species of bumblebee, bee and red fire ant, and a nest has not only a flying bee that integrates sappers and soldiers, but also an ant form that moves specifically on the ground, which was specially developed for the ecological balance of the island." β
The ambassador shook his head slightly and said, "Young people nowadays, aren't you afraid of causing an ecological disaster by doing this?"
Mira then explained to Barbara: "So it's a new breed of bees that only breed on islands in the middle of the ocean? Think of Australia and New Zealand as it is. β
Ebrun also said: "That's right, and this mixed community of bees and ants has a special place, their queen will not divide the nest, by the way, in fact, some are still bred in Wales, and there is no problem with the spread of the population." β
The ambassador's wife made a peacemaker: "Well, I'm still very relieved that Phoebe is still a baby, and even if this new type of bee becomes more numerous, they produce honey that tastes better than the others." β
Seeing that Madame was also helping Phoebe speak, the ambassador was as cowardly as Ebrun, and nodded, "Well, that's right." By the way, you have to be careful not to let people steal your bees, I think this kind of bee honey is really better than ordinary honey. β
After a while, Mira said, "By the way, Barbara, why does Phoebe have to stay in Wenchuan for a year when I go to China?"
Barbara knew the reason why she was left behind by Phoebe, and the ambassador and the ambassador's wife also looked at her curiously, so she said without reservation: "Isn't Wenchuan in the process of reconstruction, Phoebe means that when you go there, you can more intuitively see some of the things that have happened in China for so many years after opening up in a short period of time, and the most important thing is that it is not like big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where the phenomenon of drunkenness has begun to appear." There is a saying in how to say, the United States and New York are two different countries, and you can look at it in China, and if you want to study Chinese, you can't look at big cities. β
The ambassador nodded: "Well, yes, New York and the United States are indeed two countries. Then he said to Mira: "Phoebe can always look at things from different angles, thinking about how big China is, and there are a lot of people, this idea is still very reasonable." β
Mira nodded.
At this time, Ebron once again had a realistic sense of existence: "Little sister, she doesn't just look at problems from different angles, she can simply crush a person's worldview casually." β
The ambassador's wife asked curiously, "What did Phoebe say to you?"
Ebrun shook his head and said, "She and Titan designed a central control system for the Atlantic Floaters, named Artemis. β
Barbara smiled wryly and shook her head when she heard this, and Emrun saw Barbara's movements, but did not stop, but continued: "I'll tell Barbara if Phoebe has a good feeling for the goddesses of her line in Greek mythology, but why not her two daughters. β
Barbara shook her head at the other three and spread her hands.
"Barbara told me that Phoebe actually had this to say about Greek myths and legends: the oldest textbook on how bastards deceive others. β
Mira nodded approvingly, "Phoebe is right. β
Ebrun immediately raised his arms and said to Barbara, "Look, I'll just say that Phoebe was taught by the eldest sister." β
Mira was puzzled: "When did I teach Phoebe about Greek mythology?"
"I remember when Phoebe didn't come to our house when I was a child, you told me that Greek heroes were bastards, especially Medusa, and you told me that the bastard who was expelled by multiple city-states couldn't help but rape and then kill her, and what kind of stigma was given to blaspheme Athena after her death. Isn't that right?"
Both the Ambassador's wife and the Ambassador looked at Mira in amazement, and Mira was now caught up in childhood memories and did not notice the eyes of her parents.
Ebron continued: "Barbara also told me, and Phoebe said something similar, that Greek mythology, after Zeus obtained the position of god-king, was a story of whitewashing the reputation of a group of pirates who did all kinds of evil, even if there were occasional stories like killing evil beasts, such as Minotaur, there were clues of military coups, such as the origin of the name of the Aegean Sea, in fact, it was to whitewash the names of the ruling class that were slaughtered in the military coup or something. β
Mira was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Phoebe is right." β
"That's why I said, eldest sister, you have taught Phoebe badly, she is the same as you, she can casually collapse other people's values. β
Mira couldn't help but glare: "I said everything, I didn't teach her at all, and the Greeks have abnormal brains, they brag about Greek myths every day, and they spread a lot, and those who have brains can naturally understand that their myths and legends are very problematic." β
Seeing that the eldest sister was glaring, Ebron's momentum suddenly weakened, and he muttered: "Who knew that our family could produce so many Hera ......"
When the ambassador heard this, he couldn't help but quickly lowered his head and ate gingerbread as if he hadn't heard.
And Mira and the ambassador's wife ......
At night, Barbara, who was lying in bed, recalled that Ebron was bullied by her sister and mother, and couldn't help but smile......
