"At yesterday's press conference, the spokesperson of the alliance admitted that the attack on the Turkish Straits was in retaliation for the incident in Paris, and National Security Adviser Xia Xun stressed in response to a reporter's question that 'this is only the beginning of the counterattack', and when asked how he views the request of the civilian sector to attack the ACA civilian city, Xia Xun said, 'We will not bite the dog in the past, but will use our own methods to beat this mad dog'. Xia Xun also denied the relationship between the attack and the cavalry alliance, Xia Xun said, "If there must be any connection, it is probably that the cavalry team saw the determination and strength of the alliance......"

While Ling Yu was thinking about how to face Sauron, it was a sunny morning in Iceland, three hours behind Moscow.

"Your Excellency Marven."

The door of the Great Library of the "Ark" of Ísafjörður was opened, and the gray-haired assistant of Servette respectfully walked up to the position of Marven who was standing five meters in front of the control platform, hid the gloom on his face with a smile, and bowed softly.

"Isaac. Speaker Rasmussen has already departed for Icarus, but will make a short stop in Moscow. Servette took a breath and began to give Marven a brief report, "In addition, His Excellency Rasmussen Jr. has sent an application for verifying Ling Yu's identity for the third time. ”

"Hmph, he's sorry he remembers this rule."

Marven snorted coldly, according to the rules of the Knights, even high-level knights have no right to enter the bridge of the Ark to meet the prehistoric civilization AI "Karitas", if there is really a need. It requires the approval of Marven, the Scribe, Isaac, the Speaker, and Sauron, the Knight Chief, and must be accompanied by either two of them.

"Your Excellency, forgive me for taking the liberty of it." Servette shook his head slightly, "If Karitas confirms that this Ling Yu is the son of God, then the left will inevitably come to an agreement with the Alliance, this kind of military alliance...... Absolutely fatal for us. ”

"I don't need to be reminded of this." Marven turned around and looked coldly at Servette, who was standing under the control platform, "I naturally have my own way to deal with it." ”

"The subordinates are presumptuous." Servette bowed and was silent for a moment. Speak again. "Your Excellency, I just checked the list of travelers to Moscow, and there are no assassins I sent, is this your order?"

"I've decided when I need to report back to you? Servette's adjutantant? Or rather. You can't wait to be called 'Chief Scribe of Servitus'? ”

Marven glared at Servette coldly. He spoke with a sneer.

"The subordinates don't dare." Rare. Servette only lowered his head slightly, and then raised his eyes to meet Marven's cold gaze, "But the subordinates think." This is irrational. ”

"Send someone to Moscow, kill Jesse with poison, and then kill yourself, this is what you call a good way, what you call sanity?" Marven still had a sneer on his face, but he started the conversation.

"The subordinates are stupid, but this is really the best way." Servette didn't even bow hypocritically, stared at Marven who was high above, and shook his head gently, "Karin. Rasmussen is the most important link between the Rasmussen family and the Son of God, and if Karin dies, the Son of God will inevitably take out his anger on the Rasmucsons, and the cooperation between the two sides will inevitably break down. ”

"Angry at the Rasmions?" Marven suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled, "Why don't you get angry with the cavalry?" ”

"What about being angry with the cavalry? Just to let everyone see what kind of virtue this so-called son of God is," Servette also grinned, revealing a grim smile, "It is impossible for the League to offend the cavalry for him, what can he do alone at that time?" ”

"What's more, if according to his subordinates' plan, Karin will die before Ling Yu's identity is finalized, then as long as we refuse Ling Yu's identity verification on this ground, he is just a false god, this kind of garbage, there are not eight hundred but one thousand in the past twenty years, and he can't make any waves."

"Your Excellency," Servette was silent for a moment, looking at Marven who was silent, and felt that the other party seemed to be shaken, so he immediately added, "It's still too late to send someone there, as long as we delay a little, we can still achieve the necessary effect." ”

"Servette." Marven finally spoke up, sneered and shook his head The chief scribe moved his steps and walked down from the platform where he never seemed to leave, he put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and walked to Servette's side, "If you only have these skills, it will really disappoint me, as the heir of the chief scribe, I am afraid that I will have to consider the position of your assistant." ”

"Your Excellency." Servette still had a calm expression, he took a breath, turned around, took a step back, and saluted Marven, "I know that you and Speaker Rasmussen used to be good friends, and Karin also grew up under your watch, but military affairs do not allow for personal feelings, if the cavalry team and the alliance are allied, and the true god is indeed that Ling Yu, then the countless young knights of the cavalry team will become the pawns of the alliance, if Your Excellency can't be ruthless, I can go and become this necessary evil." ”

"Needless to say." Marven raised his hand to stop Servette's statement, he raised his hand and patted Servette's shoulder, "I have my own measure in this matter, rest assured, the cavalry team will not become a pawn of the alliance." ”

"Since Your Excellency has your own plan, I forgive your subordinates for being too careful."

Servette frowned slightly, then bowed slightly, but finally did not continue to retort.

"Servet, you're a good young man," Marvin said unexpectedly, taking a few more steps forward.

"But if you want to take this position, you must first let go of the jealousy in your heart, otherwise...... You can't survive this kind of political struggle. ”

"Your Excellency......" Servette's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he wanted to explain something, but was immediately interrupted by Marven.

"I know you're jealous of that Jeunse. Mino, jealous of the power she gained without any cost, but it was naïve to bring this feeling into a political struggle. Marven shook his head slightly. You may think you are sensible, but you don't realize that you have inadvertently ruled out the option of working with the Rasmussens, and this option is precisely the one that will bring us the most benefit. ”

"Isaac is not a fool, and the cavalry will not change because of a little girl or a silly boy." Marven finally summed up, and then with one hand behind his back, he took a step and walked out of the big library.

The dim light shone through the door into the dark library, shining on Servetu's expressionless face.

Just his fists. I don't know if I feel a clench.

"Before you speak. Let me start by asking, last time in Iceland, how much of it was a show. ”

Later that day, Ling Yu finally had to face the knight chief. When the young man in black walked into a secret reception room in the Lobnya barracks. I saw Sauron in a blue knight's suit. Before Sauron could speak, Ling Yu stretched out his hand and asked his own question first.

"It's not my turn to be a show. There are a lot of beauties in the Knights, and you're not a. Sauron stood at the table in the reception room with his sword in hand, and replied with a smile, "I'm really interested in you, or rather, the reason I'm interested is why Jeuness is so interested in you." ”

"Now that the answer is out, Jesse is probably right." Ling Yu shook his head, emphasizing the word "most likely", after all, both of them knew that Ling Yu was nothing before the giant AI in the Ark nodded.

"If so, then she is...... What the Knights hadn't found for thousands, she found at once. Sauron shook his head, turned around and poured a glass of water for Ling Yu, although now the two of them were knights in fancy clothes, and the other was suspected to be the son of a god, but as long as the men had drunk together, these things didn't matter.

"Probably, she advanced all the luck of the rest of her life." Ling Yu sighed softly, and this sentence made Sauron's hand that was pouring water tremble slightly.

"Speaking of which, I have a very important thing to talk to you about."

With a slightly embarrassed smile, Sauron turned around and handed the teacup in his hand to Ling Yu The moment he handed it to Ling Yu, such a sentence suddenly came out.

"I know, didn't you just let me go to Iceland? How long will it take? As long as I don't delay the next task, I'm fine. Ling Yu took a sip of the teacup gently, "But the alliance will definitely send someone to supervise, and the procedures during this period will not be completed in a week or two." ”

"I know this, don't worry about it for the time being, my application hasn't been approved yet," Sauron frowned slightly, "Chief Marven said that he wants to occupy Karitas for a very important decompilation operation, which is a very important scientific and technological material found in a large library...... I don't know if he's deliberately delaying, but it's a valid reason, so he may not be able to take you to Iceland anytime soon. ”

"That's right, I have a hunch that the ACA won't be waiting too long." Ling Yu nodded, "What else is going on?" ”

"It's not really anything...... Something very important," Sauron hesitated slightly, as if considering the words, and then, visibly changing the topic he had originally wanted to talk about, he spoke, "what do you think about your identity?" ”

"Why do people like to ask me what I think today?" Ling Yu frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with Sauron's forcible change of topic, he shrugged his shoulders, "What do I think, yes, no, no, no." ”

"Then tell me what if not?" Sauron picked up his cup, raised it at Ling Yu, and then walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

"Continue to be a soldier, anyway, the president has given me absolute freedom, and I have no scruples." Ling Yu shook his head and said a little helplessly, "I can more or less end the war sooner...... That's it. ”

"Is that so......" Sauron sighed as he placed the glass on the table next to him.

"What the hell are you struggling with?" Ling Yu finally couldn't stand Sauron's mother-in-law, shook his hand, turned over and sat on the table, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Let's get down to business first." Sauron didn't answer Ling Yu's question, but looked around the room for a while, and then looked at Ling Yu again, "The most important purpose of my visit this time is to make an agreement with you, in short, if you are the son of a god, then you must make an agreement with the Knights. ”

"I'm mentally prepared for this, after all, everyone is not a theocratic country in their bones, and I can't do it if you really let me lead the Knights." Ling Yu nodded, looking at the water cup in his hand, "Say, what conditions." ”

"In principle, there are three conditions, first, the legitimacy of the Privy Cavalry and the Privy Council cannot be denied, and second, the legitimacy of the Orthothetic Church cannot be denied, and it is better to have the Coalition officially recognize the Orthothetic Religion as a legitimate religion...... The third is not to incite the true God for personal purposes or to spread irresponsible statements. ”

"I'm okay with that, as long as I don't lock me up and make offerings like a god, or let me incite unarmed believers in the ACA-occupied zone to riot." Ling Yu thought about it for a moment, then raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "But in fact, you should go and talk to the alliance about these issues, and I believe that you will not talk about a result that will allow me to reform the ACA." ”

"An immortal who is fighting on the battlefield is more inspiring, but I'm afraid that your safety will be the first priority, sending a few knights to protect you, plus reviewing the location where you are going to act, it is estimated that it is inevitable," Sauron looked at Ling Yu with a smile, "As for the alliance, there are naturally people in charge, I came to you to confirm it, so as not to encounter any trouble." ”

"Actually, what I don't understand is, why do you have to find me?" Ling Yu shook his head lightly, raising the doubts he had been having, "You and the alliance have absolute right to speak, find someone who looks similar, and say that he is a true god, isn't it over?" Why do you have to make a lot of effort? (To be continued......)
