Chapter 8 of the Battle Song of the Angels: The Bargaining with Jill

I pulled Liao Gel out of the government office building, found a café to sit down, and saw that it was time for lunch, so I ordered two more set meals and put them on the table, and then we chatted comfortably.

"Two years after you joined the army, I and a group of people my age were old enough to leave the orphanage and go out into the world to find a job. I usually go back to see Lilith when I have time. Saying this, Liao Gel blushed, and continued to talk when he saw that I didn't care.

"After this year's efforts, I was valued by Mr. Direndal in a meeting, and then became his secretary, but I really didn't expect you and Mr. Direndal to be old acquaintances, it seems that you have been doing well in the army in recent years."

"It's okay." I sighed, and stirred the food with the knife and fork in my hand a little bored: "I came back this time to meet everyone, but when I returned to the orphanage, I found that everyone except you was not in February City. By the way, Liao Jieer, you can give me a brief introduction to everyone's current situation, the things recorded by the orphanage are too rough. ”

"Oh, okay." Liao Gel swallowed a mouthful of food and placed the knife and fork on the table, the position standard was almost comparable to that of Lao's etiquette.

"I won't talk about Shu Nade and Cap, in short, they are doing a good job now, and they can be regarded as elites in society. The point is Lilith's little girl, she was adopted by a couple three years ago, the couple who adopted her are very good, she is a senior researcher in a company, and that lady is a fairly famous musician. Lilith is now studying music with her adoptive mother, and I heard that she has won a very important award...... "Liao Gel talked a little about Lilith, and it seemed that the changes of time had not affected his feelings.

"Alright. Let's talk about Lilith here, I want to know where Amy has gone, how she left the orphanage for no reason, and there is no news at all. Seeing that Liao Gel had no desire to stop, I had to interrupt his recollection. In fact, my biggest concern among the group was Amy's whereabouts. Although the current situation of the others is somewhat sketchy, it is still traceable, only Amy's disappearance is inexplicable.

"Miss Amy? She was taken back by her own father. Liao Gel said that he suddenly smiled and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that she has reached the age of 30 and has no children, and her father is afraid that she will be troubled by the government department because of the "Forced Marriage Law", so he sent her home to give birth." And I also heard that she had run away from home and come to our orphanage because she was opposed to her marriage, and that her poor fiancé had been widowed for her for ten years...... Ha ha...... Haha......" Liao Gel still couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Liao Gel said suspiciously: "It's strange, didn't Miss Amy keep saying that she was born in C.E. 45, and her age doesn't seem to be right." ”

I replied to him with a wry smile: "Amy has never been honest about her age, in fact, she was already an adult when I was first sent to the orphanage, how old do you think she is?" ”

"Haha, a toast to our eternally young Miss Amy." Liao Gel smiled and picked up the red wine on the table and touched it with me, and then drank it all.

The meal was a great one, and as we were leaving, Lieder told me to go see Lilith, and he wasn't worried about me priing his corner, and then I went back to Jill's office to continue our unfinished conversation that had been done in the morning.

Jill looked at me a little helplessly and looked at me half-lying on the wide rocking chair in his office, and said with a wry smile: "Now you can tell me, what are you coming to me for?" ”

Seeing that he was so straightforward, I also straightened up and sat upright and said, "This time I came to you, I first wanted to ask how the situation is on Lao's side now, and he should have contacted you these days." I stared at Jill, waiting for his answer. I'm sure Lowe will keep in touch with him at all times, in fact, before I knew these two people, they were already a very tacit pair, I once overheard Jill say that he and Lowe seem to have been born in the same place, and Jill once gave him a lot of help when Lowe was a child, I guess if Lo had to find someone in the world who could be called a relative, Jill must be the first choice. But when I told Jill about this speculation, he laughed and told me that he was at best second in line. However, despite this, the relationship between Law and him is very close, and I feel like a "third party" who joined later. And Jill, who had always been known among us as thoughtful, would not have come as a surprise if Law had asked him for some advice.

Jill said angrily: "If it's just these things, you can just ask no, you're worried about your friends of the Earth Army." Rest assured, they're all fine for the time being, but Law told me in his newsletter last night that due to some deviations in the time of landing, it is estimated that the actual landing site should be changed to the Libyan desert in the territory of the African Republic. I guess it's already there by now. ”

Hearing the news that Kira and the others were temporarily safe, I breathed a sigh of relief, then sat up straight and asked solemnly: "This time it's a more secret matter, tell me, what is the current situation of the political struggle between the two factions of the Speaker and Chairman Sarah?" ”

"You're really stumped on me." Jill spread his hands: "Although I am more respected by the speaker, I am still a figure in February City, and I really don't know anything about these high-level secrets." ”

I sneered: "Don't say these things in front of me, with your means, how can you not gain anything after staying in the Klein faction for so long, Lao Du has become a confidant of Chairman Sarah." Just by relying on your ears and eyes planted in the middle of the two factions, you can definitely analyze the best of things. ”

After I finished speaking, Jill showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while finally spoke, "If I tell you these things, how about you promise me one condition?" ”

"What conditions, I'll listen to what conditions come out." Looking at the smile on Jill's face again, I always had a feeling that I had been designed. I kept thinking about what was caught. Jill's words may be as sharp as Law's, but the person he talks to will always be unwittingly turned into a trap and make an inexplicable promise. However, when these people are ready to fulfill the promises they have made, they will find that the conditions are completely different from what they imagined. The most outrageous thing is that after some explanations from Jill, these people will even think that they have misunderstood it from the beginning, which should have been what Jill said. Every time I face those people who seem to have been brainwashed, I feel fear of Jill in my bones.

Jill had a harmless smile on his face that I had seen many times, and said with great sincerity: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that a friend of mine who is the director of the non-commissioned officer school wants to find a good enough MS pilot to come to their school to take classes for a while, but I haven't found a suitable person, I originally wanted to trouble the labor, but he was sent by Chairman Sara to carry out the mission." Tomorrow is the time I agreed with that friend, and I don't want to break my promise, so I'll have to trouble you, the number one pilot in Zaft, to go out and take it over. ”

"Is it really that simple?" I asked skeptically.

"Of course, I'm going to hurt you." The expression on Jill's face looked more holy than that of the most pious clergyman, but the more innocent he appeared, the more worried my heart became.

"Okay, I promised." After careful consideration, I nodded and agreed to the contract with the demon. No matter how bad Jill's opinion is, it is nothing more than a use of me, but if I don't agree, the consequences seem to be even more serious, and if I continue to break through like this, I may one day be drawn into the political struggle between the Speaker and the Chairman Sarah, and I am afraid that I will not even know how to die.
