Chapter 477: Returning to the Owner
A day earlier, Hela had returned from Neverwinter to the City of Sage.
Neverwinter is the main city of the Tingye Church, and its status is similar to that of the capital.
But now it's not called Neverwinter, it's Alexander.
After the Imperial Army took over the Tingye Church, the first thing they did was to invite the citizens of Neverwinter to live in other cities, and pay a sky-high settlement fee for them.
It is hard to imagine that the Imperial Army, which has always been unreasonable, would face the "captives" with such a gesture of goodwill.
If Heyven had known about this, he would have thought that these guys had some ulterior conspiracy.
It's a pity that Hela doesn't know much about Heidlin, so she doesn't think about it on a deeper level.
Of course, even if she saw any clues, Hela would not be able to stop the Imperial Army.
In front of the vast number of demon god mechas, her strength alone is too insignificant.
According to the news brought back by Hela, except for Neverwinter, no other major events have happened to the entire Tingye Church.
How people should live or how they live, at least on the surface.
The people who rule this country are still the original patriarch and cabinet, but no one knows that the word patriarch is already useless, and even this mysterious female pope can't even enter the borders of the Tingye Church now.
The people of the military department have already laid a net of heaven and earth at the major airports, and once Jiu Qixin appears, what awaits her will inevitably be a devastating blow.
What, don't fly, fly straight back?
That's even better.
How about trying out the power of the newly developed missile.
These deployments were only heard by Hela.
Hela's abilities are there, and she is indeed suitable for being an agent, after all, no one remembers her.
But it is precisely because of this that she has no way to find out the real core secrets.
She is not familiar with those high-level people at all, and none of the so-called military strongholds can enter it.
However, Hela could guess that with the ruthlessness of the guys in the military department, they were 100% secretly arranging more killing moves, and as long as Jiu Qixin dared to go back, he would definitely be dead.
In addition to this, the Imperial Army did one thing - to recruit construction workers.
This is a nationwide recruitment, and the conditions offered are very good, and you can earn a thousand yuan a day by moving bricks.
Combined with the city-wide migration above, it is easy to deduce the intentions of the Imperial Army.
They are supposed to want to build a new city, and most likely tear down all the existing buildings and start all over again.
It's really a strange thing, especially at this point in time.
Since there is an idea of competing for the blue star, shouldn't it be more important to give priority to the production of demon god mechas?
"Whatever their purpose, one thing is for sure." "At least in the short term, they won't attack us or the Ord Church until a new city is built." ”
When Hesse heard this, his solemn expression looked a little better, but he felt a little resentful of Hela in his heart.
Obviously, he asked the other party to go to the Tingye Church to inquire about the news, but when the news came back, Hela sent it directly to Old Dirk, and he didn't even know about him, the head of the council.
It's just that he can't say anything yet.
Because strictly speaking, Hela is not a member of the Holy Council, and the reason why she helps the Holy Council is purely for the sake of friendship with Hesse - before Su Mu appeared, only Old Dirk, Hesse, and Sister could remember her in this world, so who would she help if she didn't help them?
And between Hesse and Old Dirk, Hella undoubtedly chose the latter, after all, Old Dirk has a nurturing grace for her.
"You don't have to worry about the young seniors." Old Dirk continued, "I might as well tell you that the woman who appeared in Shengkai City is from the same place as the Imperial Army, and the cold climate of our continent is caused by this woman. ”
Old Dirk's tone was unusually serious, and no one suspected him of lying.
And in fact, the ice god Shiva and the Imperial Army can't fight each other at all...
But it doesn't matter, that doesn't stop old Dirk from giving Shiva a black cauldron, which isn't a good thing anyway.
Just let the deacons know who is good and who is bad.
"That's fine." Andriy was relieved to hear this.
"And that's not all." Old Dirk said meaningfully: "The young senior also vaguely revealed that he is willing to protect the safety of the people. ”
As soon as these words came out, the deacons were immediately excited.
They didn't realize that Old Dirk was purely trying to promote and suppress.
"Old Speaker, is this true?" A cardinal deacon asked.
"Of course." Old Dirk nodded, and said, "It's just that the young seniors said that his ability is limited, and he is only in charge of one city. ”
"It's good to have a city!" Another cardinal deacon said, looking a little excited.
It's no wonder that they are so out of shape, after all, they are super bosses who can't even go half a trick of the old speaker, and they can't ask for too much.
Although it is only a city, it undoubtedly shows the position of the other party, and having such a master in charge has irreplaceable symbolic significance for the church.
It's like nuclear weapons on the earth, whether or not to use them is one thing, and whether they are there or not is another.
"It's better to let the young seniors sit in Kuralos, which is the closest to the Tingye Church, and it will definitely play the biggest deterrent role, in case the imperial army comes over, the young seniors can also help block it."
"I don't think it's appropriate, the border environment is too poor, and the standard of living is very low, if you offend the young people because of this, it will be more than worth the loss."
"That's right, we have to put ourselves in the right position, we can't just focus on immediate interests, everything is based on the overall situation."
"If you want me to say, let's let the young seniors sit in the Holy Philosopher City, which is our capital, and the old speaker also lives there, if anything happens, the young seniors can discuss with the old speaker."
"That's a good idea, I agree."
The cardinal deacons had already begun to discuss it in a few words.
Instead, Hesse and Andriy looked at each other and sighed softly.
These are two people who understand, and they've found out that Old Dirk is playing tricks on them.
Think about it, at the beginning, people said that the young seniors were unwilling to help, but before they could talk a few words, the situation was reversed, how could there be such a simple thing?
In Hesse's view, the reason why his teacher refused to help in the first place was because the church did not show enough sincerity.
Or rather, not paying enough price.
And now they are willing to help, because the price is enough.
A city.
It is also the capital of the Church of Mara, the city of Sage.
Hesse is now almost certain that his teacher originally came with that in mind.
The most heart-wrenching thing is that Old Dirk didn't even say the three words Sage City, and his group of red-clothed deacons were already scrambling to drill into the trap...... Hesse didn't know whether to praise the teacher for his clever methods, or to scold the guys for being stupid.
It's really a simple truth.
There are many more powerful masters than the Pope settled in the Holy Philosopher City, so can the Holy Philosopher City still be regarded as a city within the territory of the Mara Church?
To put it more seriously, this is even a nail that I have installed on my own inside, or a nail that can never be pulled out.
Hesse sighed and said, "Teacher, if I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before the Sage City will not be called the Sage City, right?" ”
"Oh? If it's not called the Holy Sage City, then what should it be called? Old Dirk asked rhetorically, seemingly surprised.
"Auroville." Hesse has the answer.
Not only the answer to the city, but also to the series of things that have happened recently.
Why did Hanashi High School plan the credit for the awakening potion to the Dawn Society?
Why did Huali High School recruit soldiers privately, and its name was Dawn Army?
Why did the Dawn Society not want merit and honor in the first place, but the favor of the Holy Council?
It's all about building momentum for those little guys.
Old Dirk laughed and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying it.
I have to say that Hesse's brain is indeed smart, and the things he has speculated are already inseparable from the truth of the matter.
However, Hesse now preferred to be as stupid as the red-clad deacons on the side.
Really, sometimes the more you know, the more sad you feel.
Hesse is the guardian of this country, or the big brother of the guardians, and now, he, the big brother, wants to give away the capital of his country, this feeling is really as uncomfortable as choking on eggs.
But no matter how uncomfortable it was, there was nothing he could do, and now he had to agree to Old Dirk's request.
Because Hesse could not guarantee that after he refused, Old Dirk would not use more violent and direct means to forcibly occupy the city of Sage.
Based on his understanding of Old Dirk, his teacher should not be that kind of person, but what about the young senior?
Hesse could not afford to gamble, and could not afford to gamble with the lives of tens of millions of people.
"Teacher, I have only one request." Hesse took a deep breath and said seriously: "Please treat the people kindly. ”
It sounds like a lonely feeling.
Old Dirk smiled and shook his head: "I hope this matter will not affect our relationship." ”
By implication, you should trust me.
In fact, the Blue Emperor would not have lived in the Sage City at all, let alone governed the city.
In the words of this big guy - the air quality in your city is too poor for the elderly.
Therefore, the ruling power of Sage City will eventually fall into the hands of Old Dirk.
The reason why the Qing Emperor agreed to let Old Dirk talk in his own name was because he also wanted to give the little guy a city.
This coincides with Old Dirk's idea of bringing Xingyehuo and the others back from the Minghuang Desert to live an upright life.
By the way, Zhao Guoguo also thought so at the beginning.
Only when there is a city can there be soldiers, and only with soldiers can they protect the home that Su Mu gave them.
It's just that her plan is only halfway through when she is taken by the Blue Emperor and the old principal.
Of course, this did not surprise Zhao Guoguo.
In her opinion, the vice principal's plan that has been prepared for nearly twenty years, with the emergence of clues such as acquiring companies, hoarding supplies, and secretly building military camps, it is simply not too easy to guess.
It's nothing more than two words - rebellion!
And the purpose of the Green Emperor is even simpler.
Whether it is the suppression of Shiva or the empty glove of Baicheng, it is to pave the way for Su Mu.
This little guy upgrades too fast, and his heart can't keep up with the rhythm at all.
To put it mildly, the development has not yet developed well, how can it be worthy of the big responsibility?
Su Mu's temperament is good, except for occasionally liking to deceive himself, in general, it is quite real, but the vision and pattern are too small, and this thing cannot be taught, so he can only fill it with his own experience.
"Okay, I'll go back first, and you can have a meeting."
When the cardinal deacons "spoke in unison" to support the Qingdi in Shengzhe City, Old Dirk said hello and left the conference room first.
On the top floor of the White Kite Castle, there was already a helicopter waiting for him, and in it sat the old tsundere of Hurled.
These two old people, since they came into contact with the Qingdi, have been unconsciously affected by the dusty temperament on each other's bodies, and their dressing is becoming more and more ancient.
After the elder Dirk left, Hesse continued to organize meetings and sorted out the most recent plan of action.
The anti-invasion events are now largely gone, and it's time for the Council of the Holy Ones to shift its focus to the aliens in the city.
Hesse, who had walked through the ghost gate, also seemed to have changed his temperament, and he hesitated again and again, but finally did not give an order similar to the slaughter of the city.
In the marginal areas, there are some small cities where almost all people live in aliens, and according to the previous way of acting, Hesse directly ran over it, and then tried to block the news and finish the matter, but this time, Hesse chose a more gentle way.
He wanted to personally lead the team to investigate.
Since sooner or later they will have to live in peace with strangers, let those who don't make trouble let them live.
"Courtel, you prepare, come with me to Prols tomorrow, and inform the person in charge of the Sage City to evacuate all the people within three days, and go to Prols to join us. Meeting. ”
The roundtable ended with Hesse testing a small city on the periphery.
On the whole, it is quite satisfactory, at least the "external troubles" in the "internal and external troubles" can be regarded as temporarily resolved.
The cardinal deacons left one after another and went to the banquet room.
The round table was over, and everyone had been given assignments, but they still had to arrange work for their black-clad deacons.
Only Andriy remained.
"You're not going to give Shar a meeting with them?" Hesse took a sip of water and asked.
After talking for a long time, his throat was dry and his voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm more worried about one issue than a meeting." Andriy said, "Did we just send the Sage City out?" ”
"Is there another choice?" Hesse sighed for the third time today.
This kind of feeling of being under the fence is really bad, and I don't know when the Blue Star people will live under the protection of aliens.
All this happened without warning, like a thunderstorm, which was unpreventable and irresistible.
Thinking back on what happened in the past few days, Hesse even had a feeling of unreality, like a nightmare.
"I'm talking about the Pope." Andriy seemed to be in a much better state of mind than Hesse, and quickly accepted the reality, saying: "After all, half of the ownership of the city is in the hands of the cabinet, and we have agreed to come down like this, how will the Pope explain it when he returns from retreat?" ”
"Confess? He used people unfavorably, closed up without authorization, and almost buried the entire church, so what qualifications did he have to ask the Holy Council for an explanation? Hesse smiled mockingly, and he stood up, walked to the window, and looked south.
"Speaking of which, this city was saved by those little guys, and now that it is in their hands, it can be regarded as the return of the goods to its original owner."
