Chapter 20: A Surprise
Chapter 20 of the third battle song of the angels, a surprise
As I hurried back to the Nichol family's mansion, I happened to see the boy sitting in the garden in a trance, with his head bowed and not knowing what he was thinking, and I didn't even notice that I walked two meters in front of him.
"Nicole, what are you thinking?" I walked up and patted him on the shoulder and asked.
Nichol raised his head listlessly, looked at me and said weakly, "Sir, can you go back first, I'm not in a good mood today." β
"Okay, don't say these frustrating words, how old are you, how many worries can you have."
"No, you won't understand, sir, you know what, I ...... I seem to ...... In love. Nichol hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.
"I've known for a long time, who can't see what you look like." I said angrily and funny.
"No, is it really that obvious?" Nichole was shocked.
"yes, it's that obvious. I really don't understand what you think, if you really like Lilith, take out some manhood and rush up, what's the point of complaining here alone? β
"But...... But...... I already have a fiancΓ©e. Nichol said gloomily.
"Isn't it the "Forced Marriage Law", can a living person be stumped by a dead law?" I feel like a demon who teaches children to commit crimes: "Speaking of the Forced Marriage Law, it is just a provision that forcibly stipulates that two men and women who do not know each other as husband and wife, and the final result is only to require the birth of a child with the most suitable parental genes, which can be easily handled by the Gene Management Department with a fertilized egg, and it is not up to you to decide what to do next." β
"That's ...... Can it really be? Nichole was dumbfounded.
"Of course you can, it's human nature to pursue the freedom of feelings, how can a law simply prohibit it, and now there are people everywhere in PLANT who are looking for the real other half in the name of husband and wife." I patted Nichol on the shoulder and said, "If you think about it, in the face of real feelings, what is the big deal to be just missing the name of a husband and wife?" β
Seeing that Nichol was deep in thought after hearing my words, I left him alone to think quietly, and then quietly turned away.
C.E.712/20
I got out of my hotel bed early in the morning, and I don't know what happened, after returning from the Archangel, my deep-seated habit of lying in bed was completely gone, and I was very unaccustomed to it for the first few days. It's been a year since I slept in Nichol's house yesterday, and I would have been able to enjoy the breath of my dreams for a while, and their beds in the house seemed to be covered with real velvet blankets.
When I opened the door and was about to go out, I was confronted by Kara's hypocritical smiling face outside the door.
"Did the Speaker call you?"
"That's right, the car is ready, you can bring it to me now." Carla gentlemanly took me to a very inconspicuous maglev outside the door.
"No, it's so mysterious." I got into the car a little helplessly, feeling like a politician who was about to cheat.
"Today's matter is too high, and it can't be done if you're not careful." Kara explained to me as she contacted the surrounding observers through the car's communicator, and only after making sure she wasn't being followed did she carry me into the rolling traffic on the road.
After a series of twists and turns, we finally came to a huge building that was no less than the Zaft headquarters building.
"Here it is...... PLANT Academia Sinica? I looked at the building in front of me in amazement: "What are we doing here?" β
"Let's go, you'll know when you go in, the speaker is waiting for you inside." Carla had already completed the identity verification procedures here when I was in a daze, and the maglev car drove into the realm of the research institute at a rapid pace.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Speaker, may you tell me what is important today?" When I met Speaker Klein and Avery Inside the Institute; After Kassim, the right-hand man of the Klein faction, the curiosity that had been accumulated to the limit rushed to the peak in an instant. Looking at this scene, it can't be a trivial matter as big as those sesame mung beans.
"Don't worry, Leonard, now that you're here, there's no need to rush." Speaker Klein patiently comforted me, it is indeed a very important matter to call you here today, haha, for a pilot, such a thing should be unwanted. β
I savored the Speaker's words, and I thought of this department, which represents the highest science and technology of PLANT, from my own identity, to an answer that made me ecstatic.
"Speaker, is it?!"
"You guessed it right." Speaker Klein smiled mildly, "It's just to tailor a special MS for you." β
Oh my God, I was going crazy with excitement when I heard this answer, tailor-made MS, what was the concept at that time? From an economic point of view, this is definitely a money-burning thing, and before the advent of the phase transfer armor developed by the United Earth Forces, tailor-made airframes were always more symbolic than practical, and were used to honor the pilots who performed extremely well in war. However, after the emergence of epoch-making phase transfer armor, the power that a special body can exert has been increased to an incredible level, if there is a body as excellent as Kira's STRIKE, and a pilot above the level, the power obtained by the sum of the two is increased geometrically, which can be seen from the fact that the Archangel only has two bodies (and one is always passive and slack) can escape through Zaft's blockade and escape back to Earth. Ordinary production models are of no use against this mobile turret equipped with phase-shifting armor, and only the oldest ant-biting elephant tactics can pose a limited threat to it.
As an ace pilot, I am still quite confident in my ability in MS, if I can have a body comparable to STRIKE, no, even if it is just a more reasonable modification of the ATTACK I drove back, I have the confidence to challenge a complete MA flight formation of the United Earth Force alone. In addition, PLANT's technology has always been at least ten years ahead of the Earth Alliance, and after the research of the latest aircraft of the Earth United Forces captured by those parts, and then the use of PLANT's superior technology for more in-depth design and modification, just imagining what kind of performance such a body can finally play has made my blood boil.
