Just as Gawain had guessed before, the spirit lady in front of him, who was in charge of sheltering the entire exploration team seven hundred years ago, had more information than the ordinary members of the team at that time.

Gawain frowned and asked very seriously, "What did he tell you?" ”

He wasn't worried about whether the other party would refuse to answer him - since Selena had taken the initiative to bring up these topics, it meant that these things could be said, and even that he had been scheduled to tell him about this "extraterritorial wanderer"!

Sure enough, Selena quickly nodded: "He told me that he came into contact with the ancient knowledge inheritance on a tower that was forever shrouded in starlight, and knew the weaknesses and truths of the gods.

"He couldn't speak that knowledge directly in the mortal world, because that would cause the gods to perceive it immediately.

He said that he would die in the prime of life, and that his soul would be taken away as part of the transaction, but that he would also wake up, and that would be when a powerful being would descend into the world through his shell.

"That's all he told me."

"No wonder ......" Gawain finally let out a soft sigh, "No wonder you didn't follow Gawain Cecil into the depths of the continent and find the giant tower, but you still know the details of that 'transaction' and know that I will appear." ”

Then he couldn't help but look at Selena with some doubts: "Then since you already knew that I would occupy this body and come to the world, and you already knew my true 'identity', why did you choose to remain silent until now?" That is, not to reveal the situation to your compatriots, and not to come into contact with me......"

"I don't trust you," Selena said very directly, "or rather, I am suspicious and jealous of a being from beyond the borders of civilization that is incomprehensible to mortals, especially after seeing those fragments of images related to you, and I have to take a longer time to observe your actions and judge whether you are harmful or not." ”

Gawain was a little dumbfounded, and shook his head helplessly after a moment: "Even if my arrival was initiated by Gawain Cecil, even if it is very likely that I am here to help your world?" ”

"That's right." Selena looked at Gawain calmly, with a gentle and tranquil expression on her face, but those eyes were deep as if she couldn't see the bottom, and in a trance, Gawain actually felt that this calm and deep eyes were somewhat familiar, and after a little recollection, he remembered that Veronica's eyes had given him a similar feeling.

He understood.

Selena Gerfen is no longer the pure white lantern saint she was seven hundred years ago.

If it was Selena seven hundred years ago, even in the soul state after death, she had a very high trust in Gawain Cecil, and was full of hope and expectation for humanity and the future, even if there was an "extraterritorial wanderer" suddenly came to the world, as long as there was Gawain Cecil's guarantee, she would maintain a minimum of goodwill and trust, but there is no if in the world - when Gawain came to this world and was resurrected with the help of Gawain Cecil's body, seven hundred years have passed.

At this time, Selena has long been no longer blindly optimistic about the future, and has lost the slightest expectation of strange kindness, she has grown up with the dark sect, against the powerful forces above mortals, she is full of vigilance and suspicion of those wandering outside the world, unspeakable, sudden existence, she suspects the "extraterritorial wanderer", and even suspects Gawain Cecil, who has made a deal with the extraterritorial wanderer.

The fact that she was able to maintain a few years of cautious observation in this situation was already the result of a combination of reason and human feelings.

After all, she has maintained a dark sect for seven hundred years as an archbishop, and she can't rely on gentleness and frugality.

"I understand your concerns," Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but there was not the slightest doubt in his heart, "Then it seems that I, the 'Extraterritorial Wanderer', have passed your 'investigation'." ”

"The word 'investigation' seems arrogant, and I can only say that your current actions at least prove that you have no ill will towards mortals, which reassures me a lot, and the current situation leaves me with no choice but to believe."

Gawain didn't dwell on the details of these words, just smiled indifferently, turned his head, and looked at the night view of the city that was already brightly lit through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows.

Selena also fell silent, and also turned her head, looking at this "magic capital" that is unique in the current era.

"Look at this city, how do you feel?" Gawain said suddenly. 、

"I was once uneasy about your arrival, especially when you raised an army in a short period of time, raised swords throughout the South, destroyed the rule of the nobility everywhere, and turned the old order upside down, and I even suspected that your purpose was to bring war to this land and end civilization with chaos," Selena said softly, with a hint of self-deprecation in her tone, "This city is perhaps the best mockery of my childish view......

"You have only put an end to the old order, and the new order has been built on the ruins, but it is difficult for the old-eyed to understand it for a while.

"As for my opinion of the city itself......"

Selena paused abruptly when she said this, as if she was sorting out her thoughts and organizing her language, and after a few seconds, she slowly said: "If we knew that such a city could be built in reality, why should we find a perfect state in our dreams......

"I am afraid that the old nobles who have been defeated by me do not agree with this sentence," Gawain couldn't help but joke, "in their minds, there should be no more chaotic, more depraved, and more oppressive city than this city of Cecil." ”

Selena thought for a moment and nodded approvingly: "That's what I said." ”

Gawain turned his head slightly to look at her, and said casually: "Now that many things have been explained, you don't need to be too nervous and wary with me, and even if you want, you can think of me as Gawain Cecil himself - after all, I have inherited his memories, and I am willing to take on everything from him as part of the transaction on this journey." ”

Selena looked at Gawain for a moment with a deep gaze before she said slowly, "I'm not Beltila, I don't have the same heart as her.

"In my eyes, you are just an outsider who has taken over my friend's body, and no matter how much you inherit from this body, you are an 'extraterritorial wanderer'.

"But this is Gawain Cecil's choice, and it is no one's fault, so I will still try to treat you as a reliable ally, and I will consider you as a reliable monarch in the future. Of course, when I'm in front of outsiders, I'll treat you like Gawain Cecil and won't reveal anything I shouldn't reveal.

"It's just other than that, please forgive me for not being able to do it."

"Really...... That's fine," Gawain listened carefully to the other party's words, and suddenly showed a smile in his thoughts, "When 'Gawain Cecil' has been a long time, you occasionally remind me of my true self...... Maybe it's not a bad thing either. ”

Selena cast her gaze with some surprise and whispered, "You are more than I imagined...... There is a lot of 'humanity'. ”

Gawain smiled, noncommittal, and after a few seconds of silence, he pulled the topic back on track:

"When are you going to start an operation on Sandbox One? When are you going to officially contact me and announce the news of working with the Extraterritorial Wanderers to more members of the Order? ”

So far, only the archbishop and Pope Megael III know about the appearance of the "Extraterritorial Wanderer" in the psychic network, and it has not been leaked in the slightest, which effectively avoids more panic within the Order of the Eternal Sleeper, but when it comes to taking action against the No. 1 sandbox, there will be a lot of people involved, and there will be many bishop-level administrators or high-ranking technical priests who are directly involved in more core affairs, and then the cooperation between the Order and the Extraterritorial Wanderers will not be able to be concealed. At least it will spread among the core staff.

And with Gawain's "co-optation" and "transformation" of the entire Order of the Eternal Sleeper, even the lowest members of the Order will soon know this part of the news.

Given the Eternal Sleepers' effective brain supplements and internal propaganda for the Extraterritorial Wanderers, Gawain believes that this news will definitely cause a wonderful chaos within the Eternal Sleeper Order when it is made public - it's a pity that he has limited time lately, otherwise he would have soaked in the psychic network for two days.

Selena could only see the stability on Gawain's face, and she couldn't guess the skin in the other party's heart, she replied very seriously: "In two days, we will convene the Supreme Bishopric Conference again, and I hope you can also participate." At the same time, according to the plan, we will make the information public in an orderly manner before then, and keep the chaos to a minimum.

"As for the official action on Sandbox One, we hope that the sooner the better - we have completed the transfer and preparation of personnel, and we can start at any time after the meeting, but I don't know if you still need to prepare something, whether you still need our cooperation and understand the situation......"

"I don't have anything to prepare, I've already done what needs to be done," Gawain said casually, "If you can act after the meeting, then I can just participate." As for getting to know the situation...... You don't have to worry about that, I've always been very aware of your situation. ”

Hearing Gawain's last casual words, Selena's expression suddenly stiffened a little, but she quickly returned to normal.

Gawain didn't care about this detail, but continued to himself: "In addition, you should also think about the way back. After the crisis in Sandbox 1 was lifted, some of the troubles were just beginning. ”

"What do you mean ......"

"The real-world identity of the Extraterritorial Wanderer is 'Gawain Cecil', and Gawain Cecil is the ruler of the Cecil Empire; The headquarters of the Order of the Eternal Sleepers is located in Typhon, and some of the mid-level priests are converted, converted Ares priests and even Typhon nobles," Gawain said, "I believe that this part of the members is loyal to the Eternal Sleepers, but do they still have some proper ...... What about patriotism and loyalty? ”

Seeing that Selena didn't answer for a while, Gawain continued:

"I believe that the original members of the Order, including you and Megael III, as well as a considerable number of high-ranking priests, are on the path for the sake of ideals, but you yourself should also know that as an ancient and dark sect, there are not only idealists among you......

"Sooner or later, cooperation with extraterritorial wanderers will reach the ears of the middle and lower class cultists, and these middle and lower class cultists will probably only go for money, for power, and even for a little knowledge. Don't look at these kinds of people as joining a cult, but if an 'evil god' really emerges from this cult, they will run faster than anyone else.

"At that time, do you think these people will go to Rosetta Augustus and report that there is really an 'evil god' in the cult they are members of?"

Selena was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"We've considered this," she said, "and the Order's membership is no longer as pure as it was at the beginning, and the cooperation between the 'Wanderers' and the Order will certainly cause turmoil among the large number of lower-middle-class believers and clerics, and it is not excluded that there will be members who are not strong-willed and overly panicked to turn to Typhon's official power."

"In view of the hidden dangers in this regard, we have made preparations and do not rule out the abandonment of some of the bases, the transfer of the church headquarters, and the internal ......."

"You don't need to tell me the specific measures," Gawain held up a hand and interrupted Selena's words, "You can handle it yourself, I just need the result." ”

Selena nodded: "...... I will relay your words to His Holiness the Pope. ”

Then she bowed slightly and took a half step back, "If you don't have anything else ......"

Before the words fell, Gao Wen suddenly stopped her: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something I want to ask you by the way." ”

Selena looked at Gawain suspiciously, and blinked, "You may ask." ”

In the starlight and the light, Gawain looked at Selena Gelfen's calm eyes, and slowly, those eyes overlapped with another large pair of eyes in his mind.

"What is the relationship between you and Patty?"

(Happy New Year, everyone~~)
