Chapter 243: The Lion and the Tiger (I)
At 11 p.m. on December 25, 2084, after a long voyage of nearly thirteen hours. The entire Tiger Battalion, which had completely quelled the mutant rebellion on the planet Manya, returned to rest and recuperate.
In the past two months of war, Robin led his army to fight against the most serious mutant rebellion, the Michel system and the Atwood system, and pacified the two main rebel forces in one fell swoop, completely clarifying the originally intertwined complex situation. There is no doubt that the mutant rebellion secretly promoted by Count Huggins is no longer able to continue, and the short recuperation time of the Tiger Camp has become the last chance for mutants to choose between life and death.
"I'm finally back before the end of Christmas......" Ansel let out a long breath as he looked at the brightly lit orbital ring of the Planet Cross outside the ship's window, clutching a delicately wrapped gift box tightly with anticipation in his eyes.
At this time, Robin walked up to him with his arms around Cecia's waist and looked at the small box in his hand curiously: "This is a gift for Vivien?" ”
Si Al smiled a little awkwardly: "I've always wanted to give her this gift,
I just don't know if she will accept ..............." "This is" As a woman, Ceci Lìya sensitively noticed the plan, covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Is this a ring?" Are you going to propose to her? ”
"Hmm" Anse El scratched his head in embarrassment: "Anse El Osvid didn't put on her a lifetime commitment, so... So I want to fulfill that promise. ”
"Congratulations."
Robin hugged Anse El hard, "I bet she'll say yes." "Let's hope so" Ansel didn't look very confident, and his expression grew more nervous as the "Assembler" slowly approached the spaceport.
A few minutes later, the "assembly number" was moored in the spaceport under the guidance of the towing beam, and as the hatch of the ship opened, Ansel couldn't wait to run to the front. Sure enough, at the front of the crowd, he saw Vivien, who had a happy face, and little Alex, who was already barely able to stand on her own.
"Go ahead, it won't be more difficult than a battle. This is my experience as a person who has come before. Robin nudged Ansel and watched him walk towards Vivien with some chicks, Robin and Cecia smiled at each other and disappeared into the crowd hand in hand.
"I really envy Vivien, she has a man who loves her and a lovely son, as a woman, this is probably the happiest thing." Walking hand in hand with Robin in the crowd of revelry, Cecilia looked back at Vivien and Anse El who hugged each other with envy from time to time, and her words were inevitably a little sour.
"I'm sorry," Robin paused and stared at Ceci with an apologetic gaze, "It's that I've been too self-conscious and haven't taken your feelings into account." ”
"Compared to Ansel, you can't be considered a good man. But forget it, at least you also gave me a lifelong promise, the only one" Ceci lì raised the bright ring on her hand and smiled happily on her face.
And Robin, after looking at Ceci Lìya for a long time, suddenly said abruptly: "It seems that one is not enough." ”
"Huh?" Ceci looked at Robin incomprehensibly.
"Let's go, let's go there."
Holding Cecilia's hand and walking quickly away from the crowd, Robin led her into a nearby jewelry store.
Jewelry is no longer the luxury of the old days, and the size of the gem is no longer the only measure of whether the jewelry is expensive. In this era, jewelry no longer represents value and status, but is once again restored to its most primitive reason for existence, beauty.
In today's space age of efficiency, jewelry still retains the most primitive skill of handmaking. Each piece of jewelry is unique in the world and represents the master's unique taste for art, which is something that no artificial intelligence can accomplish, art.
Of course, since the value of the material has become extremely cheap, most jewelry is extremely cheap. In the Hoffman Empire, only a few recognized artists' works will be relatively expensive, but human taste in art is inherently a certain blind obedience, those jewelry makers who are obscure to the public are not necessarily much worse than those artists, but the value of their works is several times or even hundreds of times different.
And the small shop that Robin took Ceci Lìya into was obviously just an ordinary jewelry workshop, and the display cases of the store were filled with all kinds of colorful and dazzling jewelry, and from the perspective of the old times, the value of these jewelry might be enough to buy a country in the old times, but now, there is no difference in value between diamonds and glass.
"How about this? I think it's a good fit for you. After a few moments of attentive selection through the display case, Robin chose a beautifully crafted sapphire necklace. The style of this necklace is very retro, and the combination of fine diamonds and the heart of the ocean makes the necklace have this noble and elegant temperament.
Putting it on for Ceci Lìya with her own hands, Robin lightly g'her moist mouth chún: "This is a holiday custom of the old times, I hope you will like it." ”
"Yes, I love it." Ceci was in love with Robin's pro-robin, and her cheeks were crimson and leaned against his xiōng chest: "Robin, I want a hacker." ”
"Kid?"
"Yes, our children."
Looking back at the shopkeeper with a flattering face, Robin casually threw out an imperial coin and hugged Ceci Lìya by the waist: "This is the best gift!" ~”
After a few days of resting in the city of his own in the Plains of Adel, Robin announced the end of his vacation, and a new round of strategic deployment began to unfold in full swing.
Over the course of several days, the newly emerging mutant force "Steel Rhein" has grown at an alarming rate, and even in the process of growing, "Steel Rhein" has also clashed several times with other mutant rebels who still have illusions about Count Huggins' assistance.
The outcome of the conflict was a big surprise, with mutant rebels in the same column, but "Iron Rhein's combat effectiveness is very different from the opponents Robin has encountered." In front of Iron Rhein, the other mutant rebels are completely vulnerable, and he feels like he's taking Robin's job, quickly quelling all mutant rebellions faster than Robin.
"It's really ......"
At this moment, in the main control room of the city, Robin was carefully watching the surveillance footage of the past month, and he found that on November 28, three unidentified uninvited guests had quietly approached the city and observed the perimeter for a long time before turning away.
Through the zooming in of the surveillance video, although Robin did not fully see the other party's face, the vigorous gray sand hair and the unruly back made Robin recognize him at a glance. Zoro, who was watching the video with him, recognized that the long-haired man on Danding's left side was his inseparable friend Carmen. As for the short figure on the right, he couldn't identify him for a while.
"Find out who that person is." Robin pointed to Jacob, and Flren said to Anse El.
"yes, okay."
Taking advantage of Robin's lordship, and the privileges granted to him by the Marquis of Timos, Anse El soon obtained the entire identity profile of Jacob, Fren, from the Marquis of Timos's artificial intelligence.
"Jacob, Fren, a virus expert in the United Savoie, was expelled from the United Savoy for conducting prohibited experiments for a long time. Half a year ago he became a citizen of the Reich as a scholar and entered the mine with two men as assistants ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
