After a moment of whispering agreement, Lloyd, who had reached a conclusion, looked up at Yorugu.

"What did you think of asking?"

"Yes." Lloyd nodded and took a deep breath, "First question, I would like to know what kind of people are the so-called 'apostles' of association. ”

“。。。 The Apostles of the Serpent are the seven cadres who will make the plan come true in accordance with the instructions of the great 'Alliance Leader'. Yorugu was silent for a moment before replying, "Although I don't know the details of the apostles, I do know a thing or two about the two apostles who recently visited Crossbell. ”

"That, then... What kind of people are they? Lloyd asked, swallowing his saliva.

“。。。。。。 One of them is the 'Sixth Pillar', the man in charge of the thirteenth workshop of the association's technical network, who is the leading theoretician in the association, and an extremely greedy technician. Hawkers,Actually, it's just a guy with an extremely inferior character.。 Yorugu said disdainfully.

"The Thirteenth Workshop is...

"Is the Society's highest tech workshop that Ike mentioned?"

"Oh? Did he tell you? Yorugu was slightly surprised, and said, "But yes, after all, those things happened." ”

Not noticing Yorugu whispering to himself, Noelle asked eagerly, "What kind of inferiority is it?" ”

"He was a man who did not care about good and evil, and was bent on satisfying his own intellectual curiosity and curiosity. I don't know exactly what the purpose of his visit was, but I can at least be sure that his presence bodes well for Crossbell. ”

“。。。。。。”

"Then, according to the information I received, the 'Seventh Pillar', which was dubbed 'Steel', also came to Crossbell." There was silence, and Yorugu continued.

“。。。 Steel? Lloyd frowned.

"Sounds like a dangerous guy." Randy answered with a frown.

"It's a guy full of mysteries, the only thing that is certain is that it's a master you can't match even if you all work together, and Ike's teacher."

"Ike's?!"

"Teacher?!"

"That's a really confident statement." The corners of Waji's mouth showed some disdain, and he looked at the silent Theo, "Have you heard of Theo?" ”

"Hmm." After a moment's hesitation, Theo replied, "Listen to Ike, it's a man who can't be defeated by a human body alone. ”

"That's a really... Faced with Ike's high evaluation, Randy didn't know what to say for a while.

"Oh? Did Ike say that? I see, it sounds scary, but it is. Yorugu nodded approvingly, "Take this as advice, unlike the Sixth Pillar, the Seventh Pillar is said to be a noble character, but if you take on the challenge recklessly, you will definitely be defeated." ”

"What, then, is the relationship between the Order and the Society?" Lloyd's eyes flickered, staring at Yorugu and asking.

"D∴G Order, as far as I know, the association is not directly related to it, but rather in a hostile relationship. The stronghold where they had imprisoned Ling and Theo had been defeated by the Guild Hunters led by Ike. ”

"Paradise...

"Well, it's said that it's a place for powerful people from all over the world, and it's probably because of the bad intentions of powerful people closely related to the association that they will become the target of annihilation, Ling and Tiou are really lucky that you can survive in that place. But what I didn't expect was that this plan forgot the original purpose because of the relationship between the two little girls. ”

Theo" 。。。。。。 ”

"Even if the association does a good thing occasionally, I don't think it's a decent place... The atmosphere was very oppressive, and Randy smiled bitterly, saying with some helplessness in his tone.

"To be honest, it's hard to accept that there is only this level of explanation." Waji said a little unwillingly.

"Hmph, didn't I say that? I can only answer the questions I understand, and as for how you judge, it's up to you. ”

“。。。 The last question is about the plan for association. Lloyd asked after a lot of thought.

"As I said, I don't know the details, but as far as I know, the 'Phantom Flame Project', that's how they named it."

"Project Phantom Flame... Lloyd couldn't help but mutter.

“。。。 What a meaningful name. Vaji raised an eyebrow.

"The plan ... Will it also bring Cross Bell the kind of mutation that Liber suffered a year and a half ago? Ellie asked.

"I repeat, I don't know much about this program. One thing is certain, however, that the association's involvement is not as large as Liber's. ”

"That's because this time the plan covers two regions."

The automatic door opened, Ike's voice rang out from outside the door, and he strode up to the crowd and greeted Yorugu

"Ike?!"

"Why did you come here too?"

"Because there are some things that Master Yorugu really can't reveal to you." Ike replied helplessly, "But since you have traced it down here, and you have something to do with the clown, I thought about it, and decided to tell you the information about the matter." ”

"Oh? Have things exceeded your expectations? Unlike the startled Support Section, a gleam flashed in Yorugu's eyes, "When there are not enough people, even the police have to ask for help?" ”

"yes." Ike sighed and replied honestly, "I just went to Mishuram again, and Luciola is gone, probably because the clown told her something." Coupled with the executors who have been identified, the combat power is indeed a little insufficient. How about the master lend me some automata? ”

"I won't, my work will be used on you useless consumption." Yorugu politely refused. "But Patil Matiel has been refitted, you can ask Ling to come and take it."

"Thank you, Master. Ling's words have already departed, and I think it will be here soon. Ike replied, looking at the people who were still stunned, "Master Yorugu is still in the association, and some information is indeed 'unable' to say, although I have left the association, but I also know some information you want to know, especially about the current Phantom Flame Project. ”

"Hmph, is that what the Empire is all about?" Yorugu snorted, "Your old trick again?" ”

"Don't say that, Master." Ike cheekily replied, "However, I did get a lot of information I wanted." He snapped his fingers at a few people, "How about going back to the Support Section first?" This is not a 'good place' to talk about. ”

They looked at each other with a blank look, nodded politely to Yorugu, and quickly chased after Ike who had already walked towards the door.
