Chapter 49: Heart-to-Heart Talk
"How? Do you have any thoughts on going to Chambord to be on duty? Zefa asked seemingly casually, making Ray stunned for a moment.
Lei Ben thought that Zefa would criticize him for messing around, after all, what he did this time would damage the face of the Navy to some extent. The Navy's demon slaying order was stopped by the Navy, and if it spread, it would definitely be ridiculed by the world.
But Lei never expected Zefa to ask such a question, so he didn't know what to answer for a while.
"Forget it, I don't think you've thought about it either." Zefa looked at Lei's stunned expression and knew that he didn't think of anything. Although his son is a genius in scientific research and combat, he still needs to improve in other aspects. Political sensitivities like this need to be cultivated slowly.
Shaking his head, Zefa closed his eyes for a moment, and the expression on his face became extremely serious when he opened them.
"Ray, you must remember what I say next, and never tell anyone else." Even in his own home, Zefa kept his voice down, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Recovering from his stunned state, Ray felt that he seemed more tired after returning to Marinfando. Whether it is Sengoku or his father, he is always panting when he speaks, and he panics when he hears it.
"Lei, how much do you know about the Draconians?" Again, to Ray's surprise, Zefa asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"Draconian?" Speaking of this, Ray's mind instantly remembered the fat guy he had met in the Chambord Islands a year ago.
"If you look at the literature alone, they are the descendants of the 20 kings who established the world government eight hundred years ago, and they are the world nobles who now inhabit the Holy Land of Mary Joy. Once they are offended, they need to be defended by the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. However, after I actually saw them, I felt that those people were now nothing more than garbage left in the world. Knowing that his father was not a man who was stupid and loyal to the world government, Ray was relieved to speak his mind boldly.
"Anything else?" Zefa looked at Ray calmly, wanting Ray to say more.
"I don't know much about the rest, so I'll just tell you something I know." It seemed that the next topic would be very heavy, and Lei couldn't help but straighten up. "I think the creation of slaves has a lot to do with these moths."
"These moths consider themselves to be descendants of the Twenty Kings, so they are superior to the others, treating the rest of them as inferior, and even disdainful of breathing the same air as ordinary people. I once asked Darwin that the most prosperous place in the world for the slave trade was Chambord, and that had a lot to do with the Draconians. Pursing his dry lips, Ray continued; The Draconians like to play with humans and treat them as toys. There are many people who go around capturing innocent people as gifts in exchange for benefits or status in order to curry favor with the Draconians. Some powerful and wealthy people imitated the behavior of the Draconians in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, and slaves happened to satisfy their sick psychology, and over time this industry was born. ”
"But I'm curious, why do the World Government and Navy obey the Draconians so much? I don't think the Five Old Stars and the Warring States Marshal are not people who can't see their true nature, and they won't become inflamed just because of the bloodline of the Celestial Dragons. Could it be that the Draconians have mastered something that the world government and navy are afraid of? Picking up the tea on the table, Lei drank it all and looked at Zefa with blazing eyes.
"Hmm!" Ray's words silenced Zefa as he remembered the last person who had learned the truth about everything.
Originally, that man was also regarded as the future admiral of the Navy, but he resolutely chose to leave after he came into contact with the darkness of the world government and the navy. That incident has always been regarded as a regret by Karp, who originally wanted to train his son to become a pillar of the navy, but he did not expect that now his son has become the leader of the revolutionaries, that is, the dragon.
Because of Karp's position in the navy and his image in the world, this matter has been suppressed by the navy with a tough attitude, and the world only knows that the dragon is an evil criminal, but they don't know that he was actually a member of the navy.
Because he was worried that Lei would become a second dragon after learning the truth, especially when his son already had a certain prejudice against himself, Zefa did not plan to tell Lei the truth.
"It's too early for you to know these things, even I only came into contact with them after I was twenty-eight years old. We're going to talk about you today about your duty in the Chambord Islands. Zefa bluntly refused to answer.
"Since you have a certain understanding of the Celestial Dragons, you should think about what you will encounter during your tenure." After avoiding that taboo topic, Zefa steered the conversation back on track.
"The Navy's control over the Chambord Islands is actually very weak. Because a large number of pirates pass through there every day for the New World, we can't afford to wear and tear if we capture each and every one of them. Moreover, the tasks performed by the navy stationed in the Chambord Islands were more complex and could not be handled without sufficient experience. ”
"I don't know much about the mission of the Chambord Navy and can only remind you of this. Ray, don't do anything when you get there, just continue your research, and someone will take care of the rest. ”
After talking a lot, Zefa ate on his own.
Lei didn't expect this duty task to be so complicated, and he mechanically pulled the rice bowl with a stomach full of worries.
"Bang!" The sound of the rice bowl falling on the table woke up Lei, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Zefa's movements.
"Pack everything away after eating. By the way, before you go to the post, go to Huozhuo Mountain and ask him, he used to be there for a while. Getting up to leave the table, Zefa gave a remark before returning to his room.
"Oh!"
......
Naval cemetery
Originally, it was a cemetery for the soldiers who died, but later the generals who lived in Marinfando were allowed to bury their relatives here.
The cemetery is located in a secluded place between the fortress and the town, surrounded by a forest and on high ground, where no one usually visits.
Ray sat quietly in front of a pure white tombstone, telling what he had seen and heard outside, sometimes dancing happily, sometimes crying.
"Mom, the City of Seven Waters is such a fun place. The people there travel by water, and they keep a strange creature as a boat. ”
"Mother, I'm going to the Chambord Islands this time. It's not too far from here, but I can't always come to see you like I used to. Dad is always so busy, you must be lonely here alone! ”
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
In front of his mother, Ray will always be a child.
