Veronica's statement left Gawain a little confused.

"An individual?" He frowned, "What does this mean?" ”

Veronica's eyes carried a hint of remembrance, as if she had sunk into the ancient memory of thousands of years ago, and after a few seconds of silence, she said in a soft and gentle tone: "You must already know that in the plan of disobedience a thousand years ago, the White Frost Sisters were hired by the Gondor Empire as consultant scholars...... This hire, for hundreds of years, until the outbreak of the Demon Tide seven hundred years ago, Filna White Frost and Rainna White Frost were secretly working for the Gondor Empire.

"The first time I saw them was in the Vast Palace of the Imperial Capital...... A druid facility that studies the natural environment and the evolution of species. They were a very cheerful pair of sisters, and what impressed me most about them was that they were smiling all the time, they were curious about everything in the human world, and they had a lot of bold ideas, which were very different from the more conservative and old-fashioned elven scholars......

"I'm sorry, I'm far away, it's like that's when you get stuck in memories, you always think of too many inconsequential details."

Veronica smiled apologetically, and Gawain shook his head at her, motioning for her to continue.

"They were really sisters, like I said, they were really two people in the beginning, until that accident......

"That was the stage where the plan of disobedience had just been carried out to the initial analysis and contact of the power of the gods, also known as the first stage. In one experiment, we want to test an observation method that has never been tried before, and the general process is to open a crack to the boundary of the present world in a highly enclosed room, which crosses the shadow realm and the shadow realm, and approaches the kingdom infinitely at a certain critical point, and we hope that through this rift, we can achieve a certain degree of monitoring of the kingdom of God......

"It was a bold and reckless attempt now, but what we knew about the power of the gods at the time was far less clear than it was later.

"This dangerous experiment required two operators, one to maintain the fracture and one to make the actual observations. Yes, you've already guessed it...... It's the White Frost Sisters.

"They voluntarily signed up for an irrefutable reason: as twins, they have an extraordinary tacit understanding that can greatly increase the success rate of the experiment, and if something really happens, they can respond quickly without communication, and the reaction speed will be much faster than that of ordinary researchers.

"I personally sent them into the lab...... I watched them walk in, and the entire lab was completely closed under the control of an automated system.

"Even the most powerful magus can't see through the tight guards.

"After the countdown was over, the laboratory opened, it was full of smoke and flowing mana turbulence, I rushed in with someone, and the laboratory was already in ruins, in ruins...... Only one scarred elf lay on the ground, and the other was gone. ”

Veronica said all this with a calm expression, and Gawain couldn't help frowning slightly: "Who is missing?" Who stayed? ”

"I don't know."

Gawain raised his eyebrows: "I don't know? ”

"The sisters were almost identical, and it was never easy for outsiders to tell them apart, and the lab was in shambles, and the identification card on the injured was badly burned, so no one knew who survived."

Gawain couldn't help but adjust his sitting position: "Then how did they ...... later?"

"The one who survived snuck out of the hospital one day and returned to the druid laboratory built by their sisters, and three days later, the 'White Frost Sisters' returned to the Palace of the Vastness. Later reports revealed that a large amount of biomass was missing in their lab...... But in fact, everyone guessed the use. ”

"She's made a ...... for herself," Gawain understood, "and then? That's what you guys did? ”

"The White Frost Sisters are back, at least that's what they said, they look like it's business as usual, and while everyone knows it, we welcome their return."

Gawain didn't hide his surprise: "They...... No, her mental state is clearly out of order, haven't you noticed? ”

"It's obvious, but among the disobedient, especially among the disobedient at the forefront, this level of mental problem is not a problem at all," Veronica smiled faintly, her tone calm, but the content of her words was thrilling, "We are against the gods, we stand in front of the indescribable and infinite knowledge, we are like an abyss, we are constantly brushing shoulders with countless deadly and invisible truths, sometimes just accidentally glance at the wrong sample, Or if the wrong word is mentioned at the wrong time, someone will fall into madness, someone will suddenly disappear, someone will mutate and die......

"Before we had a rough grasp of some of the rules, we had already paid for hundreds of lives, many of whom died silently, the cause of death could not be disclosed, the posthumous death could not be awarded, and many of us fell into perpetual madness, and because of the knowledge of the gods, we could only be placed under house arrest in one mind control facility.

"Even myself...... As a former Gondor man, have you ever heard of the name Ophelia Norton mentioned in any book on the history of royalty?

"In such extreme circumstances, every member who retains the ability to work is precious to the disobedient.

"Compared to the worst of the worst of the world, the White Frost Sisters are just paranoid...... The symptoms were mild, at least in those days. ”

Gawain didn't know what to answer for a while, from the logic of a normal person, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to let a person who had obviously had mental problems continue to participate in the project, because the project itself was crazy enough, so crazy, it naturally needed more powerful reason to fight, however......

Mortals are so fragile that they sometimes have to fight madness with madness, not because they want to, but because they have to.

He believed that Veronica and her team must have thought about it seriously back then, maybe they confirmed that the mental problems of the White Frost Sisters would not affect their daily work, or maybe they thought that the role of the White Frost Sisters as consultants and scholars was far greater than their mental hidden dangers, no matter what, it was already a thousand years ago, and now he, and even Veronica/Ophelia at this moment, can no longer make any comments on the events of that year.

Now he can only sigh afterwards: "...... She may have been a little paranoid, but now, she ...... Or rather, they have become ghosts of disobedience to the plan. ”

“…… Everyone who participated in the first phase of the disobedience program was on the countdown to madness, and we would discuss it frankly on weekdays, because we all knew that most of the members would not live to see the fruit, or go mad, or die, or disappear into all sorts of strange supernatural phenomena...... Even if all goes well and survives safely, the longevity of humans is such that most members of the first stage will not survive more than two stages...... However, elves, they live too long. ”

Veronica said, sighing softly.

"Maybe it's because the survival time is too long, or maybe it's because there is never hope, the White Frost Sisters are out of control after all, but it's a pity that ...... I don't even know if 'they' are Filna or Relna. ”

"I have a hunch that sooner or later we'll deal with that pair of 'sisters' again," Gawain shook his head, "this kind of persistent ghost won't really be silent." ”

"Perhaps," Veronica pursed her lips, "and what else do you have to gain?" ”

"Technology, the technology of the Society of the End of Things," Gawain said, "We have recovered a huge amount of technical data from that dungeon, as well as complete laboratory equipment and all kinds of samples, semi-finished products, and specimens, which will arrive at Pittman's research facility in batches in the near future, but we all know that there is more than just druid knowledge ......"

"I see," Veronica lowered her eyelids, "I'll help identify and analyze the disobedience techniques, and alert you if a risk factor is found." ”

Gawain nodded in satisfaction, and Veronica suddenly looked into Gawain's eyes after a moment of silence and asked, "Then after eliminating the danger factors, what are you going to do with the 'results' of the Eventual Death Society?" ”

Gawain glanced at the other party and showed a smile: "Of course it's for use." ”

"Even if they were created by the end of all things?"

"Technology is technology, of course we have to use it if it is useful, it is always people who commit crimes, and there is no point in judging tools," Gawain said, "It is indeed chilling to use those flesh and blood magic to create monsters, but if it is used to treat the wounded, it must be very useful." ”

"But there may be people who have a grudge against you, and even privately criticize you for using black magic, and the ignorant will always have unnecessary fear of what they don't understand, and no matter how much the world has changed for a thousand years, it has never changed in its prejudice and conservatism."

Gawain and Veronica looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Of course, these people will always appear, and it is better to blame the dead for their failures than to admit their incompetence and ignorance, but it doesn't matter—the ignorant will teach them and let them know the truth, and if they can't be taught, or if they are deliberately mischievous, then set the rules and write the contract, and I will grant them no access to the technology and its derivatives that have been excavated from the ruins of Solinburg, after all...... In the application stage of new technologies, our social resources are insufficient, and some people take the initiative to isolate themselves from new technologies, so why not satisfy their loyal hearts that save social resources? ”

“…… I appreciate your style. ”

Veronica left, and the study was quiet for a while, and Gawain exhaled, moved his muscles a little, and prepared to go back to work.

However, he had just picked up a document on his desk, and before he could look at it, he heard a slight sound of wind passing through the window.

The next second, there was a loud "bang" of someone hitting the window frame.

Given that this is already a daily routine, Gawain has long lost any emotion and complaining thoughts, he just got up naturally, opened the window, and let the dizzy amber in.

As soon as Amber hit the ground, she began to shout: "What are you doing with the windows closed and locked in the middle of the day......

Gao Wen's face was expressionless: "The weather is cold, and the elderly are afraid of the cold." ”

Amber: "......"

"What's the matter with coming here in such a hurry?" After successfully choking back on this shame of all things, Gawain was in a slightly better mood, and then asked seriously.

While amber window jumping is a standard procedure, there are different styles and situations of window jumping:

Standing outside the windowsill and carefully studying the anti-amber clips and locks for half a day, carefully removing all the traps and then going through the window is a routine operation, usually when there is nothing major to report the work on a daily basis; Jumping in in a hurry and accidentally stepping on the clamp is an ordinary emergency, usually there is a report that needs to be read by Gao Wen as soon as possible; And like now, it would be terrible to not even notice that the window was locked and hit his head on the window frame, Gawain has met twice-

The first time was to report the assassination of Francis II, and the second time was to report that Rebecca's prototype aircraft had malfunctioned and fell from the sky and killed Tyre.

Hearing Gawain's question, Amber suddenly didn't care about the details of being choked back, she was indeed here to report the important situation, and after panting evenly, she said quickly: "Rebecca's flying machine over there ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Gawain frowned: "Tyr's unlucky kraken was stoned to death again?" It's okay, you know she can ...... back."

"It's not!" Amber almost jumped up, and the expression on the dwarf melon's face was extraordinarily excited, "It's flying!" This time it successfully flew! ”

Then she took a hard breath and continued, "And landed smoothly - face up!!" ”
