"About this...... My father had a conversation with us. There was a moment of silence, but it was Joshua who broke the silence, "because...... You also know, Shelter Ling, the former "executor...... Even if she was just a child, she would be blamed to a considerable extent...... And the queen also said that she may face pressure from neighboring countries...... And there is a possibility that it will attract attention from the association side again......"

This worry is not unfounded. It is true that the "Association" has already obtained the "Ring of Radiance", the treasure that Liber wants to obtain, and from this point of view, there is really no need for the "Association" to attack Liber again. But in the case of Rei, the situation is different. Although the association has never had a tradition of forcibly recalling the "executors" who have already detached, the existence of "Patil Matil" must have attracted the association, or rather, the link between the "Sixth Pillar", the "Thirteen Workshops" and the association, the attention of this "extreme" designer. If he, as a tech maniac, wants to do something to Liber, it still risks incurring new dangers.

Joshua and the others also completely let go of their previous suspicions with Ling after the battle against Joachim, and the scene of Ling crying in Estelle's arms is still touching. After that, they were invited to visit Old Man Yogourul's workshop, where they had an exchange with Lévy about it - according to the Doctor's initial assumptions, if Liberl was concerned about the additional risks associated with the existence of Patil Martier, he himself would not mind keeping the original machine, which was actually designed by him, if he was concerned about the additional risks posed by the existence of Patil Martil. He is not afraid of trouble, not afraid of the attention of his unscrupulous disciple, just so that Ling can live a better life.

Hearing this, Ling's heart could be said to have mixed feelings. Even I was moved by the bravery and concern of the old man Yogurus, and I was also troubled by this matter. It is true that she has accepted Estelle and Joshua's invitation to live with them until her adult self chooses her own path again, but that does not mean that she has to abandon her former family. For countless days and nights, it was the big guy beside him who made Ling, who lacked all care at that time, feel a little warm, how could he give up now because of this little thing.

"Keep Ling and Patil Matil, but provide the necessary data for research – that's what my father finally decided to convince the Queen." If there is anything that can make the ruler of a country ignore the risks, it must be a huge benefit that can be matched by it. As a small country in the gap between big countries, it is also important to maintain a sense of crisis at all times, and Liberal's biggest advantage over the two surrounding powers is that they have the technological power to lead the surrounding areas. A group of scientific research teams led by Dr. Russell will inevitably be able to find some places to learn from the technology of "association", which is not a good thing for the development of the whole country?

What's more, Dr. Russell almost fainted with joy when he heard that he might have the opportunity to study the giant humanoid weapon that had appeared in Liber himself—these were the words of Tita herself during the contact.

"If Ling agrees...... So be it. "Heliga was noncommittal about the decision of Cassius and the Queen, both of whom were very qualified and professional people, and although they were very good people, they would still put the interests of the country first when necessary. Although it looks cold-blooded, as long as the result doesn't hurt-

"Hmm...... After tomorrow, we ...... You can take her back. Estelle shook her hands, as if still unable to believe it was true, "...... her"

"For some reason, I can't bear to see that scene." Joshua said, "But...... Ling actually made such a request in person, I really didn't expect it...... Even if I knew that the truth wasn't what she thought it would, I thought she might not be so quick to accept it......"

"Maybe that's the effect of what I said to her that time?" Heiliga thought about it, and finally could only think like this, after all, Ling at that time also reacted very much, at a loss, completely different from the usual calm and occasional playful little devil, "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing......

"Do you think we should tell her parents the truth?" Estelle also showed a worried expression, "Although it's not good to hide the truth...... But it feels like it's too ......."

"If you want to think of a reason for this." Helliga said solemnly, "Even now, bad expressions will still hurt Rei...... So you have to come up with a reasonable reason that doesn't make Ling more upset or provoke the Hyvas to ask them any further. ”

"We don't have any ideas...... What about you? Joshua didn't know what to say.

"If you two don't know, just hide and watch the show." Helliga pouted, "I just have a solution. ”

—————————————————————————————

"That's it—you get me up and running." Heliga's voice was hurried over the communicator.

"Alright, alright...... Really, I won't forget to go, you've reminded me so many times......" Levi looked helpless, "Didn't you just put the thing you wrote in his house?" It's always endless, and I want to peek at it. ”

"It's not a good peek, just remember to get a new envelope and seal everything." Heiliga didn't think that Lévy was qualified to know the details of his plan, so he didn't care about Lévy's "threat", but continued: "Make sure the couple doesn't notice the anomaly, and make sure they actually read the letter before they meet Ling tomorrow - is there a problem?" ”

"No problem...... I already have an idea. Levy's tone was confident.

"That's good."

"That's right...... Speaking of which. Levi suddenly thought of something else, "About Joachim...... The manipulator behind the scenes, the real culprit of all this...... Do you have a clue now? ”

"Nope. The opponent was very strong, although I was able to guess who the identity was, and I also gave the police department some hints, but it seemed that the movement over there was very fast, and they did not find any crucial evidence. On this point, Heiliga also sighed, if the opponent is not "Rubacher" who leaves clues everywhere, but the bold and careful opponent in front of him, he is not sure that he will be able to catch any clues.

"What identity?" Levi asked curiously.

"Judging from all kinds of information, this person must be a member of the team that played an important role in Crossbell International Bank - he just casually suspected that others were bad when he didn't have an accurate target, so he didn't make it clear to Dita Cullois." "That's why I've decided not to pursue it...... This opponent is too strong and too time-consuming to deal with. Olibat's side can't wait......"
