XXXVIII. The outlook is not good
The atmosphere in the room maintained a delicate balance, and the leaders tried to appear calm, but inevitably seemed too forceful and too laid-back. The storm god Mir of the Prime Minister's Party, the flame god Bornin of the Royalist Party, and the phantom god Kim Porly occasionally met their eyes, revealing the kindness of their comrades, but overall, tension and oppression filled the air.
Queen Rana wore her long blonde hair up, a silver tiara, a white light gauze dress, and a ruby and white gold ring on her fingers. Her face is very good-looking, but it is easy to be reminiscent of the appearance of the prime minister, and if you marry her, it is easy to feel that you are with Bolun when you linger in bed.... I felt like I was going to throw up.
Prime Minister Bolun stood up and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Longinus, I introduce you to her, she is my daughter, the queen of the Black Mansions, Ranna. ”
The God of Mist said: "She is the guardian of the Black Mansions, the leader of the people, the terminator of the demons, the descendants of the ancestors, the orthodox royal family, and the queen of the Black Mansions, Ranna!" Please don't omit these titles! ”
Prime Minister Bolun smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I said." ”
I proudly said, "And I, am the Black Coffin Sword Master, the Black Coffin Duke, one of the Big Three, the Weeping Archbishop, the Frost Remnant, the Dragon that Devours Thunder and Lightning, the Destroyer of Darkness, the Master of Stygian Fire, the Pain of the Sun King, the Light of Humanity, and Saint Longinus!" ”
They all looked at me in the air, and there was something awkward, which I thought was jealousy.
Lamia said, "I am Lamia. ”
Rana breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Hello, Lamia, and you, Lamia's husband.
How do I feel that my momentum has been beaten down by Lamia? It's clear that I came first, and I'm in the C position! What the hell is Lamia husband? Didn't Mandarogo tell this untold queen of the heavens and the earth about my deeds?
Or did she realize that I was actually a madman? I was right.
At the end of the greeting session, everyone took their seats, and the waiter served tea, in fact, this short introduction was no less than a real confrontation between swords and guns, and it was a fierce battle of mind and will. If one side overwhelms the other in this link, it will take the initiative in the following talks.
And I feel that I have lost, which is very disadvantageous, I am a loser, so naturally I want to show weakness to the winner. This is the cruel law of how the world works, and even those as powerful as I cannot disobey it.
Lamia shouted, "Come back! ”
I said, "Where are you going?" ”
Lamia: "What are you doing in a corner?" ”
I lost, I'm willing to gamble and lose, it's a crazy net punishing me for my failure, I have no choice. People are looking at me, with amazement and disdain, just look at me like that, let me bathe in this contemptuous eye, losers have no human rights...
Lamia grabbed me by the ear and pulled me back to my seat.
Rana asked, "Does Mr. Longinus have any mental illness?" ”
Lamia, Kimpoli, and Mir said at the same time, "No, he's just a dramatist!" ”
The world has misunderstood me, and I don't bother to argue with it.
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Longinus for saving my friends – Mandarogo, Elrez, Kimpoli and Bornin – and I would also like to express my regret for the conflict that occurred between us, which was unfortunate for both of us," Rana said. ”
Bolun said, "Your Majesty, you are right at what you say, we have all lost our loved ones in the process. He looked at his daughter, but Rana remained lukewarm.
He added, "Now you want to put an end to this strife, that's good." ”
The Tsunami God said, "You are the one who started the strife, and it was you who imprisoned Your Majesty first!" ”
Bolun: "I confess that I used some measures at first to protect Your Majesty from the temptation of traitors..."
The Tsunami God said angrily, "What? Adulterous demagoguery? You said it nicely, and you actually said your own crimes reasonably, what a great traitor! ”
The Echo God replied in a loud voice, "It's you!" As Dharma hunters, you should maintain a harmonious relationship between the Prime Minister and His Majesty, instead of secretly interfering and alienating their father and daughter! ”
The Tsunami God raised his voice and said, "Make no mistake! If it weren't for you, Your Majesty would never be an enemy of the Prime Minister! And now you still bite back? Doesn't what Your Majesty said himself? Do you have to say that? ”
Echo God's voice was even louder: "Your Majesty is young after all, if you are instilled with bad thoughts, you will only make mistakes again and again, and it will be difficult to return!" ”
Tsunami God: "It's really robber logic, you seem to be trying to prevent murder, so you preemptively shoot the murderer before he kills!" Your Majesty has never been brainwashed, and according to the law, the Prime Minister must obey the Queen's orders! ”
Echo God: "What if that command is wrong?" What if that command kills us all? ”
"You don't know what our demands are, or what Her Majesty's orders are, do you know how much effort Your Majesty has made before making a decision, how much advice he has listened to, and how long he has struggled?" ”
Echo God: "What is wrong is wrong, no matter how hard you try, you will only go further and further down the wrong path..."
Suddenly, Rana shouted, "Shut up!" There's no point in arguing, listen to what I want to say, and then it's up to all of you to judge! ”
Bolun's face was very unnatural, and he said, "Daughter, you are going to say that alarmist set again...."
Rana said, "Listen to me! Don't interrupt me again! You can not believe it, but give others the power to judge! ”
Lamia and I both noticed something unusual, and Bolen clearly knew something inside, and he was hiding something.
Boren: "That's just your base...."
I said, "Bolun, if you interrupt Your Majesty rudely, I will have to let you go." ”
Bolun was stunned for a second and lowered his head.
Rana smiled at me and said, "Thank you." Then, she stood up, faced the crowd, and said, "I have ample evidence that the Aether Sea will dry up in ten years, and at that time, the barrier between us and the demons will be gone. ”
Most of them had a look of panic on their faces, even Mandarogo and Elrez were surprised. I glanced at Bolen, he should know.
Ran Na said: "It's not something I'm thinking about alone, and it's not groundless!" It was Mr. Lyon's conclusion that he had come to when he went out to London again and again to measure the concentration of the aether in the Aether Sea and the city of London with an instrument! ”
With a wave of her hand, a maid brought a small blackboard and pasted many drawings on the small blackboard, saying, "The concentration of the Aether Sea is 20% lower than it was five years ago, while the concentration in the London City has increased by 0.13% overall." Ten years ago, the concentration in the Etheric Sea was 25% higher than it is now. ”
Mill approached the blackboard, looked at the chart, and said, "What do you mean.... Concentrations are decreasing at an accelerated rate here? ”
Ranna said: "This is what Mr. Lyon risked his life to measure again and again with an instrument. I told my father! I told him all when he locked me up! ”
Everyone glared at Bolun, who sighed, "Yes, I didn't tell anyone, because I didn't believe it!" More than 100 years have passed, why is it different in the past ten years? ”
"It's the wind, it's the constant wind that blows the aether into the city, and the aether is diluting, and it's diluting very quickly," Rana said. At this rate, in ten years, if not less than ten years, the concentration of the Aether Sea will become harmless to demons, or as insignificant as a normal person taking a puff of secondhand smoke. ”
I said, "Secondhand smoke is harmful, and you're defending smokers." ”
"That's not the point, the point is that the aether no longer makes demons miserable, no longer makes them unable to cross the line!" In ten years, they'll be able to come and kill us all! ”
Mandarogo sighed, "Why didn't you say it earlier? If you do, more people will support you. ”
Rana bit her lip and said, "Because I don't want to cause panic, ten years... It's only ten years, and in ten years, everyone will die, how can I say that? This may directly make the people lose the courage to survive! So, I only told my father. I still wanted him to work with me to find a way for us to live... Or stabilize the path of the Etheric Sea. ”
The Iron God and the Titan God were silent, while Mir and Ellen the Earth God walked up to Bolun and said in unison, "You are hiding it from us, too? ”
Bolun said: "It's not a matter of concealment, this data may be wrong, have you ever thought about it?" It is possible that Rana made it up to shake the morale of our military. ”
Ellen was furious, grabbed Bolen's collar, and said angrily: "Even if there is a one percent chance that it is right, we can't continue to shrink back by doing nothing, from now on, we have to find a way!" ”
Bolun waved his arm wildly, but the strength of the earth god was too great, and he couldn't push it away, so he hurriedly said, "What can you do?" We can't do anything! ”
Mir said, "We can all hide underground, build bunkers there that demons can't attack, and besides, the aether underground is always there, even if it's not as dense as the Aether Sea, but..."
I think it's a terrible idea - this migration will disturb Wu Ce and distract him, his mental strength is not enough to control so many ghouls, once the people of Miracle Street enter the laboratory, Wu Ce will no longer be able to restrain the ghouls, and the ghouls will be really happy - it is equivalent to someone sending them a full banquet.
Kim Poli said, "This won't work! There's ghouls down there! They were cute before, but that's because of Mr. Longinus. What now? ”
I smiled and leaned back tactically.
Bornin added: "Now, if we go down, we will feed them, or we will all become ghouls!" ”
Mill said, "Then let Mr. Longinus stay here." ”
The chair flipped and I nearly broke three legs.
I got up and hurriedly said, "No way, I'm going to leave soon!" ”
Mill said, "There's another way.... Let Mr. Longinus summon all the ghouls into the Aether Sea, they will be cured or killed, and when the lab is emptied, we will be able to go down and live! The devil can't find us, or attack us. ”
I said, "First, ghouls may not listen to me and obediently enter the Aether Sea, which is much harder than bathing a cat. Second, you have also seen the demon red dragon, the power of the demon is very strong, the iron gate is like a thin piece of paper in the eyes of the red dragon, you hide underneath, sooner or later something will happen. ”
