Verse 506: The Shape of Sound (1)
Alyssa glanced at the messenger from the palace, a dwarf in the standard sense of the word, and looked at Alyssa with a hint of flattery, waiting for her answer.
As the daughter of the side branch of the royal family, Alyssa actually didn't have many choices, for example, when His Majesty asked Marin about the dinner with the two young men of the Svensson family, she could only know everything, and she could only say everything.
This was the sorrow of the side branch, she thought so, and at the same time involuntarily remembered Marin, what a great man, although he really didn't look like a man now, but no matter which one of his achievements was present, it was a legend that only the heroes of the history books could do.
How nice it would be if he could take her away...... It's a pity that he wasn't born in the Purple Room, unlike the two young people from Lulu and Svensson's family.
It's too cruel to take it to a weak woman like herself.
"Miss Alyssa, if it's all right, I'll go first."
"Go back and tell my uncle."
Bidding farewell to the dwarf, the somewhat disheartened princess returned to the living room, the two brothers of the Svensson family were still chatting with Marin, the two sides had already talked about the battle in the afternoon, and when they heard them talk about the Chaos Champion they had just killed, Alyssa once again sighed in her heart, Lord Marlin is really amazing.
It's a pity that such a great man doesn't belong to her, everyone says that she is Helen, the legend of the past, but it's a pity that she is two completely different people except for the similarity with this legend.
"Come, I'll go to the kitchen and bring you fresh fruit." Lulu had already walked into the hall like a real hostess with the after-dinner snacks, the Svensson twins had status, and her appearance was a courtesy given to them by the Gayat family.
Alyssa took two steps back to allow Lulu to pass through, and Alyssa could only smile and bow her head at the look of surprise at her.
This damn world, this damn country, everyone is a nobleman, why is there such a thing as the Purple Room, as long as you can be born in it, you can get the mark of natural superiority?
There...... Where exactly?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Bidding farewell to the two Svensson family members, Marin glanced at the little figure sitting on his shoulder, and Jason, who used the fairy prosthetic body, nodded his head, and agreed with the two boys of the Svensson family: "There is no problem the whole time, if they are not monsters, then they must be telling the truth, after all, I scanned it and found that these two boys are still human." β
"What do you mean to be human?" Marin was curious: "Is there such a thing as 'still human' in these years?" β
"Of course, these two boys are first-phase reformers." Jason's words stunned Marlin for a moment: "Wait a minute, what is this Phase I Transformer?" β
"The transformation process of the armored assault force of the Earth Union, in order to meet the operational needs of outer space, the Earth Union has nine surgical modulation centers in the European region, and one of them should be in Copenhagen, but I can't contact the center's regulatory AI, this guy is a military type, I am a different system from him, and he won't listen to me."
"That is, the aristocrats of Copenhagen have all undergone surgery?" Marin asked out of curiosity.
"How is it possible, the transformation of armored assault soldiers starts from a young age, if there is not enough foundation, such an operation is simply killing, the talent of these two twins of the Svensson family is unavoidable, and it is normal for AI to help them complete the first phase of transformation."
"Didn't you say that this is a transformation process, why do you just transform it once?" Marin's words were filled with confusion and incomprehension.
"Because the first phase of the transformation is only to inject the strengthening agent, and the second phase of the transformation is to install artificial lungs, this thing is not like the strengthening agent can still be produced as long as there are materials after the great destruction, this is one less piece of non-biological." Jason sighed when he said this: "Lord Marin, you see, the world has degenerated to this point. β
"Don't worry, we're going to change that, I swear." Marlin comforted Jason.
"Thank you, also, I just rematched Lulu's situation and found out that she is also a first-stage transformer, this girl doesn't seem to be strengthened to her body, I guess it is strengthened to the brain domain, no wonder I haven't been able to see that she has a problem."
When Jason said this, it made Marin understand one thing - no wonder Lulu was able to keep up with Marin's rhythm, she was transformed into a body, let alone Fayenova, and even a little genius like Kloss was not her opponent.
Saying this, Marin broke his fingers and counted them, and found that the girl he liked was either an elf, an orc, or a modified person, as if there was no normal human being.
What a headache, Marin thought as he returned to the house, and it was snowing outside that there was still a stove for himself.
"What's the matter, have you talked again?" Lulu seemed to have adjusted her mentality in the past two days, and she walked up to Marin and asked.
"No, I just thought about it a little bit, and if someone sends a bounty tomorrow, you can help me take it, and the money is your pocket money." Marin has just sold a champion head, and tomorrow during the day to see if there is still a chance to make another one.
When the time comes, let the Svensson kid help him find a job, well, it looks like Logan still can't do it, this kid's business network still can't cover here.
After complaining, Marin turned to the fire and sat down on the soft cushion that was specially designed to sit.
In fact, he also understands that this kid Logan has a lot of work in his hands, but no one has the courage to invite Marin, and Logan doesn't dare to push those trivial things to him to do.
"What are you thinking, Mr. Marin?" Lulu sat aside, and she looked at Marlin as if to say, Marlin, your face is full of memories and regrets.
"I'm thinking about the story of my childhood, at that time, Logan and I were apprentices at the church, and he would recommend me a job at that time, and he could collect hundreds of dollars each time, but now, the job doesn't come to me anymore."
"I guess no one can please you." Lulu said with a smile.
"Yes, whether you have money or not, everyone doesn't invite me anymore, I thought at that time that it was quite fast to make money like this, but now it seems that I was too naΓ―ve." Marin said this, and turned his head to look at Lulu, "What about you." β
"I've lived in the Hagelberry family for as long as I can remember, being bullied by my cousins as a child, and later becoming a night watchman, just so not to be bullied by them...... Unlike you, Mr. Marin, when I was very young, my grandfather was very partial to me, so everyone hated me. β
When Lulu said this, Marlin understood a little - the injection must have been within a year after birth, only in this way, Lulu did not have any memory of all this, or that all the children who had been modified did not have such memories, and the elders who knew about the existence of such a thing as surgery obviously understood, just like the old patriarch of the Hagelberry family, he knew now, but his son did not know, and when a son inherited his place, he would be qualified to know all this.
Well...... It's really like the style of a military AI, silent and mysterious, in short, not much.
"Don't worry, we don't hate you." Marin comforted Lulu with a smile.
This sentence made her feel much better, and she smiled: "I know, Faye said it too...... I just think that if you have so many girls who love each other, you shouldn't care about me. As she spoke, she lowered her head, her long hair hanging down like a waterfall: "When I was young, I didn't have any friends but Faye. β
"We will be your most reliable friends." Marin reached out and stroked the back of Lulu's hand, "Don't worry, look at me." β
"Hmm." Lulu turned her head, her face full of confusion, as if waiting for Marin to give an answer.
"The way you laugh is the best." Marin said in the most sincere tone.
So the girl laughed happily, it was so good.
"By the way, Mr. Marin, have you heard the story of Faye's dreams?" Lulu asked.
"I know, by the way, don't call me sir, I don't want to call it this at home." Marlin noddedβthe little secrets of the girls Marlin don't talk about it, they thought they were talking about it behind Marin's back, but it was all recorded by Jason, a voyeur.
Of course, Marin also stopped Jason, telling this kid not to do this kind of thing in the future - wouldn't it be better to use the satellite to find a hot spot and let Marin open the door to make some quick money.
Jason smiled at this, and said that Marin's idea is really unbelievable, how can this Chaos Warband champion be as full of the world as the cabbage in the field, even if it is, with Marin's harvesting speed, I am afraid that the champions' heads will be cut off soon.
"I've had that dream too." Lulu said this, and she looked at Marin, "In the dream, that child's name was Ingmar Jane House. β
"This kid, I know, wears a double-breasted military coat, right?"
"Yes! How do you know! β
Looking at Lulu's frightened appearance, Marlin smiled and pointed at the girl's forehead: "He is also my child, although I use his body to meet me and Maya's offspring......" Marin told Lulu about some of his recent experiences, and when she heard that Mars was being hunted down, the girl was obviously stunned, but she looked very happy to hear that the child had successfully saved himself with the help of Marin, and speaking of Ingmar, Lulu mentioned the child's experience: "He didn't show any talent when he was young, It wasn't until the year of the end of the war that he suddenly had a talent for psionic energy, and then he didn't understand anything, or I taught him how to use psionic energy and magic. β
"I see, it should have been my possession that ignited his psionic talent?" Marlin guessed.
"It's a possibility, speaking of which, haven't you talked to Faye?"
"No, they didn't tell me." There's certainly no way Marlin could tell Lulu that there's an all-weather eavesdropper by his side.
"Well, let's be honest and honest when we get back." Lulu encourages Marlin, much to Marlin's impulse - look, none of the other girls told me, only Lulu helped him open the gap.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Before dawn the next day, Marin was already woken up by the sister Alyssa, saying that someone from the Harvest Goddess Church had come to him, and he looked quite anxious.
Marin had no choice but to go downstairs in his dressing gown and saw old Francis.
"What's the matter, old Francis." Because there were outsiders, Marin asked in the tone of a conversation between church insiders.
"There was a little problem, yesterday we had a team of apprentices from the church who went to the town south of the city on a mission, saying that they drove away some flying heads, but they didn't come back one night, the archbishop felt strange, and today before dawn, the church guard team went to the town, and just two horsemen came back, saying that the town was surrounded by a thick fog, and they had a team of eight people, only the two of them who did not enter the town survived, and the remaining six people entered the fog and never appeared again."
"Then wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
Marin went back to his room to change his clothes, and then went to Lulu's room to tell the girls about what was going on at the Harvest Goddess Church, and after letting her wait at home, Marin took his equipment and followed old Francis out and got into the carriage.
"No one is following, what the hell did you not say, old Comrade Francis." After confirming that nothing was with him, Marin looked at old Francis and asked.
"My apprentice, Roben Sterling, who was scheduled to take over my class, followed the squad into town, he was the kid I picked up from the starvation heap, he was a staunchest of northernists, and I had him in charge of the village for several years, and I would recommend him to take over my class until I retired."
"So, whether you live or die, you need an answer, right?" Marin looked at the old man in front of him.
"Yes, if he ...... If anything happens to him, please be sure to record it for me before you purify him, and I want to see what he fell for. Speaking of this, the old man sighed: "In the ten years since the establishment of the doctrine, I have seen many people who are not strong-willed, who have either chosen to quit or want to betray us, and some of them have been defiled by evil gods...... It's a bitter road, and I have faith in Robben as a kid, but ...... Faith is faith, facts are facts, so, if there really is a problem, purify him, the northerners never need false mercy, for the degenerate, purification is the better ending. β
"I see, leave it to me, considering the danger of the dense fog, this time I'm going to act alone." Marin said as he began to count the equipment he needed, "By the way, I also have an assistant, Jason, to contact Eleven for me, I need help." β
"No problem, I've been contacted, let him wait for you at the Harvest Goddess Church?" Eleven has been certified, and he is currently harmless in the city, so as long as Marin can still command him, it will be fine, so Marin decides to take him with him.
"yes, let him wait for me at the gate, we'll go right over, by the way, if the satellite happens to pass through the town, help me see if I can see the hollow fog at the center point or the solid fog pile."
"No problem, there's still an hour and seventeen minutes to fly next time."
With this answer, Marin looked at old Francis: "Don't worry, we will go and confirm the situation of your apprentice Robben." β
"Please." The old man looked a little haggard, which reminded Marin of old Hoffman.
And when he thought of old Hoffman, Marin felt that he had to get this thing done.
So as soon as he arrived at the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, Marin entered the hall with Eleven who had turned on the optical camouflage, which scared everyone when he turned on the optical camouflage, but Marin immediately gave an explanation, with his explanation, coupled with the confirmation of old Francis, the guards dispersed, and the hand raised by Eleven was also lowered.
"Let's go to the maintenance area." Marin carried the rifle and shotgun he was using, and considering his height, Marlin gave them to Eleven to use, and then went back to the workshop to get a short-barreled assault rifle and a double-barreled shotgun with the barrel shortened and the butt sawed off - this thing was about twenty meters away, and the spread would be very large at a distance.
When he returned with the guy, Marlin heard from old Francis that Number 11 had fired 11 rings out of ten shots in the test gun just now, and he was worthy of a murder weapon forged in steel.
This made Marin very relieved - after all, there was such a person who could follow him, at least Marin could be very relieved about his back.
"There's a message from the emergency team that the teleportation channel can't be established."
"It's okay, I'll take a car with Eleven." After saying that, Marin opened the teleportation channel, and a four-wheeled motorcycle with large tires was driven by the dwarf craftsman.
"I won't accompany you to fight hard this time." The old man went into the passage again.
Marin threw the key to Eleven, and then said goodbye to old Francis: "I'm leaving, is there anything else to say." β
"Don't teleport to Chaos...... And, thank you, Comrade Marin. β
"Don't thank me, old Comrade Francis."
After shaking hands, Marin jumped into the car, and the eleventh drove through the maintenance area, and the guards opened the side door for them.
When the locomotive took to the street, it still attracted a lot of attention, but looking at the emblem of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest on the car, no one jumped out to be a curious baby.
And when the locomotive passes through the south gate of Copenhagen and enters the Marin field of vision, there is only snow.
"It's so horrible here, does Oslo have to be cold?"
"The average human being is uninhabitable." Eleven added, "Jason has already mapped out a route map for me, and it will take two hours and twenty-nine minutes to get there. β
"Two and a half hours, that sounds like a long way." Marin said as he turned and sat down in the hopper behind him, opened his backpack, and pulled up the snow awning: "It's terrible, I used to think that Fort Carter was already very cold, I was wrong. β
"You are in the south, how can you see the same weather, it is indeed very far away." Speaking of this, Eleven looked into the distance: "Considering the distance the snow falls, add another seven minutes." β
"Oh my God, if you add more time next time, please don't say it." After Marin finished speaking, he shrunk himself into a ball - when will this body change back?
