Chapter 116: Temptation (1)

Kolo. Duncan, the ability of the American Alliance, was born in Syracuse in IC15, advanced to the second order in IC33, and advanced to the third order in IC49, codename, Kuafu, and the ability is muscle explosion. Duncan was the only third-order member of the Inter-American Alliance to serve in the Legislature in the early years of the IC, and his sphere of influence encompassed the entire Lakeside District of Ontario. His long-standing status as the first man on the American continent made him arrogant, with an unimaginable self-aggrandizing complex, and in order to set off his status, he even transported the nearly 50,000-ton battleship Iowa from Los Angeles on the west coast of the Americas to Lake Ontario. Kolo. Duncan disappeared in an attack in IC64 and the Iowa sank at the same time, and has not been heard from since.

- "Deciphering the New Human Archives: Praise Duncan", IC72, Testin. Oren

In IC64, the world moved forward in turmoil.

First of all, at the beginning of the year, Su Zhi died, Eden civil strife, and the coup d'Γ©tat of the old Su Zhi forces led by Lin Ke failed. Then in April, the Independence Day events in Eden detonated the civil strife in Greenwich. Ethel was imprisoned, the queen was victorious, and the Origin Agency defected. Then came June, with Kolo. Duncan's disappearance, the beginning of a new round of power distribution in the League of Americas, and the civil war soon ended. Ellul emerges as the biggest winner, a new Abler Institution is formed, and Ellul begins his dictatorship over the vast expanse of the League of the Americas.

News of civil strife or civil war after another, people who have enjoyed a peaceful life for nearly 20 years are waiting with bated breath for the next news of war, who will it be this time? War, where will it happen? The mountain rain is about to come, and the whole world knows that peace is over.

Prodi. Ethel has been detained at the Queen's Guard headquarters for nearly two months, and Greenwich people are terrified.

Angel miscalculated the influence of the royal family and herself, and in the past two months she has frequently appeared in the media and public squares, with her queen guard and full guard of honour, making statements full of confidence and vision. But with little success, for the people, the royal family represents loyalty and rule, while Prodi and Origin are the strongest confidence and reliance in the world of Greenwich.

The queen became more and more discouraged, and in the middle of the night, she repeatedly asked herself if she had really done something wrong, just depriving Prodi of his power and imprisoning Prodi's freedom, and the whole of Greenwich was like someone had been drained of the backbone. What's even more troublesome is that the Origin Agency has defected due to co-optation, and Prodi has refused to meet with her three times in a row, whether it is to summon him or to deign to go to see him, but he has been refused, and things seem to have reached a point where there is no turning around.

IC64, 18 June Greenwich Queen's Guard Headquarters.

The building behind the wall was a small three-story square building from the ground, and if it weren't for the shield and thorn banner hanging from the roof, no one would have been able to connect it to a powerhouse with a long history.

Fanol appeared across the street, his hands behind his back, looking at the mottled building with interest. Greenwich people do not build tall buildings, the tallest building in the kingdom is about 30 meters of Greenwich Cathedral without walls, followed by the 26-meter-high main hall of the royal palace, and most of the remaining functional buildings are built underground, such as the headquarters of the Guard, whose 17-storey underground building extends in all directions, and there are more than 2,000 permanent personnel alone. Prodi. Ethel was held on the 18th floor, not as a prison but as a safe house for members of the royal family, lavishly furnished, with separate water and electricity and 3-metre-thick mezzanine steel plates. Funnily enough, the only door to the cell was locked inside, and when Prodi closed the door, no one could open it without his permission.

Greenwich certainly doesn't have no prisons, and even special prisons for the capable, but putting Prodi in prison is something that even the empty-eyed Queen Majesty can't do.

"Look ahead and look backwards, and be a villain in vain." Fanor shook his head and walked straight to the gate of the Guard's headquarters. There were guards outside the gate, and Fanor walked over, and the two guards saluted at the same time.

"Lord Adranor!"

"Lord Josiah!"

Different names were shouted in their mouths, but the two of them did not notice anything wrong, and Fanol walked through without paying attention, and the two of them had both satisfied and proud looks on their faces, as if they had just been praised by the great man they admired.

The small buildings are bustling with people, the Origin powerhouses have defected en masse, and the Queen's Guard has officially merged the civilian branch of the Origin Agency, and their tasks are much heavier than in previous years, especially in the turbulent and eventful times of this world.

Fanor walked leisurely through the crowd, everyone who noticed him thought they had seen the person they most wanted to see in the building, greeting, saluting, blushing and handing love letters, Fanor ignored all of them, but they all received the most satisfactory response in their minds.

Enter the elevator,Go straight down to the 16th floor,This is the limit of Eden's intelligence agency,They only heard that the safe room can't be reached through ordinary paths,But how to get there,You need to find it yourself.。

His approach is straightforward, which is to ask for directions.

"I want to see Ethel." Fanol grabbed a random person on the 16th floor, and said it with a straight face.

"Female ...... Her Majesty! Why did you come alone! The person who was pulled was surprised, and Fanol realized that it was actually a major general.

"I want to see Ethel." Fanol repeated.

"Do you need to inform Lord Adranor and Lord Josiah?" The major general looked embarrassed, and he naturally did not dare to disobey the queen's order, but he went to see Prodi alone, and His Majesty's safety ......

"Bring a few more people, is it useful?" Fanor said expressionlessly.

"Yes!" The major general saluted and led the way.

The work of the Eden intelligence agency is still successful, the entrance to the safe house is indeed on the 16th floor, and the major general is the deputy commander of the peripheral support force, who happens to be one of the 17 people who know the entrance, and from this point of view, Fanor is lucky.

Through the aisle of the room, the officers along the way saluted the major general and Fanol, all kinds of titles, but the major general was unconscious, the two came to an ordinary officer's dormitory, entered through the instrument mirror, and walked into a small elevator, this elevator has no floor buttons, only a mechanical keyboard.

Major General typed "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?" on the keyboard. Fanol read it softly, it was the old English poet Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind", to the effect that winter is coming, will spring be far away? This poem is engraved on the inside of Greenwich's walls, along with the group portraits of the pioneers, and everyone who comes to Greenwich can see it, which is the faith and spirit engraved in the marrow of the people who have been left on the ground.

The elevator was closed, and it was actually an oblique ascent, and the corners of Fanor's mouth were hooked, the so-called 18th floor was actually a scam in itself, if someone wanted to achieve the purpose of decapitation by storming the safe house in the war. After going down to the 17th floor, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to find the legendary underground palace.

The elevator runs for an unexpectedly long time, more than 1 minute, the elevator opens, Fanor stands in a wide space, brightly lit, what appears to be an underground warehouse, the air is clean, apparently well ventilated, except for the elevator, there is only one smooth, tightly seamed door in the entire warehouse, Fanor knows, Prodi is behind the door.

"You go, I'm going to talk to him alone." Fanol said unquestionably.

"Your Majesty, your safety ......" Major General's loyalty was interrupted by a mocking smile on Fanor's lips, and his face turned red and he was at a loss. Also, in front of the master, as an ordinary person, he is not even qualified to be a guard.

"You go, I'm going to talk to him alone." Fanol repeated, in the same tone as before.

"Yes!" The major general saluted, turned and entered the elevator.

Fanoel was the only one left, listening to the echo of his footsteps on the floor of the warehouse, Fanor suddenly recalled the scene of visiting Su Zhi, all of which were similar.

Walking to the door, Fanol just raised his hand, and the door opened silently, just like Su Zhi's voice at that time: "The door is not locked." "For those of them, it seems that nothing unexpected happens in the whole world.

"You seem to have guessed that I was coming." Fanor smiled lightly, lowered his hand and stepped into the door.

"I didn't guess." Prodi lay flat on the ground, the Book of Tyrants hovering in front of him, page by page, he was reading, even though Fanol didn't turn his eyes for a moment when he entered the door.

"Do you want to say that I happened to step in just as you were expanding the realm?" Fanol laughed, and after planting that seed, it seemed that Prodi was more human than the last time they met.

"The field is always open, I did know it when you stepped in." Fanor sat up, raised his hand and closed the book and placed it at his feet.

"Field...... Always on? Fanor was shocked, the time for him to advance to the fourth order was not much shorter than Prodi's, far beyond Andy, but even for him, maintaining the realm was a huge costly thing, if Prodi didn't lie to him, it could only prove that Prodi had broken away from the category of the fourth order, "You advanced to the fifth order?" ”

"Not quite, you should know my situation." Prodi pointed to his head, frowning slightly, "You can sit anywhere you want." ”

"You're mistaken." Fanor smiled bitterly, "That seed is indeed the crystallization of my realm, but it has no connection with me from the moment it enters your mind, and I can't perceive your situation through him. ”

"Can't?" Prodi was slightly stunned.

"You must know it, otherwise my realm wouldn't be able to enter your mind." Fanol was convinced of this, after all, Prodi's control of the realm was unmatched.

"I don't know." Prodi replied indifferently.

"And you're still letting that seed stay in your mind?" This time it was Fanor's turn to be stunned.

"It worked for me." Prody stretched out his hand, and chairs, coffee tables, teapots, and teacups flew from all around the room, and they were suspended in front of Fanol in a row, obviously inviting him to sit down and drink tea, "As for the rest, I don't care." ”

This answer was completely unexpected, Prodi never seemed to regard anyone in this world as an opponent, or that he had nothing in his eyes other than power itself, so what was his purpose in pursuing power?

"Why are you getting stronger?" For the first time, Fanol couldn't contain his curiosity.

"Why?" Prodi tilted his head, as if in thought, "Just want to know what the nature of power is." ”

The nature of competence? Fanol finally understood Prodi thoroughly, transparently. In fact, Prodi was originally transparent, but his thinking was so transparent that the whole world did not want to believe what he saw, including his Fanor.

"When are you going to tell the purpose, I'm busy." Prodi seemed to be a little impatient, Fanor had a good idea of something, he had emotions, Prodi was indeed different, at least for the things he didn't care about, his patience had deteriorated.

"Say it now." Fanol took off his chair and coffee table and made himself a cup of boiling water, and there were neither tea leaves nor tea bags in the things that flew over, but he didn't care. Recognizing Prodi is the biggest gain of this trip, after recognizing Prodi, he is almost sure that his plan will be successful, step by step, the ideal of great will, is getting closer and closer to success, "I brought you a gift, I believe you will like it." ”
