“…… Yesterday, another march was held on the streets of London to demand that the Government recognise the Privy Council as an official religious body, and the Confederate Government said that consultations were underway, but the spokesman for the Privy Cavalry did not answer the question......"

"The ups and downs of life are so exciting!"

Ling Yu remembered that there was a sentence in the movie he had watched that said, so he unceremoniously used this sentence to describe his current mood.

In January, South Africa is the season of the sun, and the sun shines through the windshield at 12 o'clock at noon, spilling on the steering wheel of the car, and the heat collects more, even in winter, it is a little burning.

The poor old unlucky young man still couldn't open the box after all and get the first prehistoric civilization item in his life, in addition, the kind and honest Princess Jeunty also gave him two pieces of news for free: the first is that the box has been opened, and the prehistoric civilization items inside may have been taken away, so he should not expect too much from what is now in the box; The second is that she didn't carry the special tools needed to open the box, although she could let the hermitage mail network deliver it, but there was no hope of opening the box until she returned to City 47.

But at least there is hope to open up, Ling Yu can only comfort himself like this, on the other hand, even if there is nothing valuable in the box, Jiesi also promised to recycle the box itself - although it is only 50,000 universal coins, but considering that Jiesi does not even have a penny of salary as the chief horseman, Ling Yu is also mentally prepared for the stinginess of the knights.

Ling Yu narrowed his eyes, his pupils that were a little dilated because of his thoughts instantly regained his energy, a truck stopped in the square not far ahead, it was the truck responsible for distributing supplies to civilians in this area, the armed police of the ACA with loaded guns mercilessly lined up the chaotic crowd with rifle butts and bayonets in a crooked queue, and the residents with blank expressions moved along the queue little by little, like a group of orderly walking corpses waiting for fresh meat to be distributed.

It's completely different from Santiago, Ling Yu sighed in his heart, he had been to the city that was the former capital of Chile and the occupation area of the ACA, although it was also under the control of the ACA, but there was at least one civilized city there, and this place was like a huge machine, everyone was a part of the machine, unable to think, and could only follow this machine to keep moving forward.

Maybe it's the same in Cape Town, Ling Yu scolded the Confederate military city on the other side of the ceasefire line, if he left the Confederate army out of anger when he was 12 years old, then now he is completely aware of the horrors of war, he will take away a person as the foundation of a human being, whether it is life or spirit.

As for how to end the war, let the big guys above "Icarus" have a headache, since they are not soldiers, they don't need to think about the duties of soldiers, so they must stay away from the war anyway.

Do what you can. Ling Yu admonished himself again.

The old-fashioned mobile phone placed on the dashboard vibrated for a moment, and Ling Yu patiently waited for the phone to vibrate three times, and then returned to calm.

In the whole of South Africa, only Johannesburg still retains a civilian wireless communication service, and 50 universal coins per minute determines that it belongs to only a few people, and such an antique mobile phone from 30 years ago will be sold for 5,000 universal currency, and in addition, all calls will be monitored by the ACA.

Based on the dual reasons of tariff and safety, Ling Yu did not answer the phone, but unbuckled his seat belt and stepped out of the car.

According to Jiesi and his agreement, three shocks represent one qiēshun lì, and any other reaction Ling Yu will drive away, and the two will not have a meaningless meeting - last night's attacker was a man and a woman, and this combination was enough to attract the attention of the guards all over the street.

Ling Yu didn't walk long on the unsheltered road, he observed the vigilant guards around him, and then under the cover of a few broken bamboo baskets, he got into an inconspicuous house, and two hours ago in the early morning, Ling Yu watched Jiesi walk into this house.

"This is the president of the South African branch of the 'Privy Secret Order', and it is inconvenient to disclose the specific name, so please understand."

Probably in order to prove her identity, Jiesi at this time removed her disguise, revealing a gorgeous blue riding dress, while on the other side, a thin white old man of about 60 years old nodded at Ling Yu, which was regarded as a greeting.

Ling Yu also responded with a slight nod, but he still subconsciously looked around, unlike the imagined guards, there seemed to be no other people from the Hermit Sect except for this leader.

"Young man, my faith does not need guns and weapons to protect."

As if he had seen through Ling Yu's question, the thin old man raised his head, his face full of furrows still remained indifferent, and gave Ling Yu an answer.

"I remember believing in prehistoric civilizations, which is not legal on the ACA's side." Ling Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest and frowned, "I think you are a kind of resistance group. ”

"Fighting is the job of the cavalry, and we have more important things to do." The old man shook his head slightly, and when he mentioned the Knights, he bowed lightly to Jesse.

"More important work?" Ling Yu's expression was marked with a clear sense of incomprehension.

"Faith can give people hope, and it is my duty to pass on hope, and it is the only thing I can do." Again, the old man bowed to Jesse, who bowed slightly in return, still not speaking.

Even false hopes? Ling Yu closed his eyes, nodded, and decided to interrupt this conversation, he had never intended to convince a god stick, and besides, he was not the kind of boring middle two who forced others to accept reality.

"So, boss, it's almost time for us to get in touch with the MIA."

As if reading the meaning of Ling Yu's desire to end the conversation, Jiesi interrupted the conversation at the right time, the two exchanged a look, Jiesi pointed to the room inside, and made a "please" gesture to Ling Yu, "The battlefield quantum communication device that is standard with the alliance is not too advanced, but it is enough for you to contact Cape Town." ”

Ling Yu nodded that he would use it, then pushed open the door and walked in.

However, the moment he pushed the door open, Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, because the room was not as empty as he imagined, on the contrary, at the table where the light quantum communicator was placed, there was a little boy about twelve years old who was sitting motionless.

"Ah, I'm sorry I forgot, is this the kid you're talking about, President?"

Without waiting for Ling Yu to calm down, Jeunsy walked quickly to the door, and the boy sitting on the stool slowly turned his head, and under his flaxen hair was a pair of golden pupils that seemed to have no light.

"Yes, it's this kid...... I hope that the knight will take him to the cavalry for a test. ”

Ling Yu turned his head sideways, and rarely saw a faint smile on the old man's face, Jiesi looked at the boy and nodded slightly, "As a reward for your help, I will take him away, in the name of the cavalry." ”

"Clark? Ethan, I want you to call me Ethan. ”

Suddenly, the boy sitting at the table spoke, he got up from the stool, turned around, and faced Ling Yu and Jiesi, his immature face showing an aura of maturity that did not match his age.

The young man stepped forward, raised his head, ignored Ling Yu who was standing on the side, and looked directly at Jiesi.

"Are you the chief knight of the Order? Is there anything special about it? ”

Ling Yu visibly felt the body of the elderly Hermit Sect leader behind him, and trembled at this disrespectful remark.

However, Jeunsy immediately reached back in recognition to say that it was okay, and then, Miss Chief Knight lowered her head, looked at the boy's golden eyes, and suddenly smiled sweetly.

"No, I'm nothing, I'm just a little girl from Reykjavík."

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Reykjavik, the former capital of Iceland, was also the headquarters of the Privy Cavalry.

Because of Jeunsy's answer, the little boy's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, not knowing whether it was goodbye or recognition, and then walked out of the room between Jeunsi and Ling Yu.

"Then, boss, you will be troubled by communicating with the bureaucracy."

Jeunse patted Ling Yu's shoulder rarely, announcing the end of this little episode, and just as the girl turned around to leave, Ling Yu suddenly asked at the blue back.

"Why am I so familiar with that sentence?"

"Don't think you're the only one who likes to watch 2D movies from over a hundred years ago."

Jessy's voice came from afar, and it seemed a little ethereal.

"What do you mean by not being able to retract? The consignee is dead, and you knew the consignee was being hunted down. Are you questioning my IQ when you hide these facts from me in this situation, and now you tell me that you can't send a receiving force? ”

In Cape Town, in the communications room of the South African branch of the Confederate Military Intelligence Secret Service, an Asian man in military uniform sat gloomily in a chair, and in the quantum communicator in front of him, a man wearing glasses and a white lab coat was questioning him.

"Han Fei, calm down."

The man in military uniform raised his hand and held his hat, hesitated for a moment, and gave an answer.

"I'll admit that I'm withholding some facts, because I'm not sure if your friend will be able to keep it a secret for me."

"Huh...... Joke, why did you come to me if you can't keep it a secret, why do you want to find someone who can keep it a secret for you? Do you want to call the Ministry of Defense next door right now and say that our Deputy Director of the Secret Service needs the help of your Ministry of Defense TF Commando now, what do you think? ”

Han Fei smiled coldly, he didn't angrily wave his fist at the man in military uniform, but the pupils under the half-rimmed glasses already emitted a light like a poisonous snake.

The man in military uniform stood up from the stool helplessly, raised his hand to take off his military hat, and made a two-handed downward pressing motion, "Anyway, now that things have happened, the entire ACA South African theater is looking for that friend of yours, and I can only make him more dangerous by sending the receiving force now, the target of the ACA is not him after all, you are a little patient." ”

"I don't have the slightest interest in your nonsense, you better pray that my friend is safe now, or I'll throw all the high-risk test specimens in the biochemical chamber next door to the Secret Service office building across the door." Han Fei hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and pushed his glasses, "That's right, you guessed it, I'm just threatening you, dear Deputy Director of the Secret Service." ”

"Calm down—"

"Sir, there is a quantum communication call on Line 4, from Johannesburg, the line from enemy-occupied territory."

"Get in now!"

Deputy Director of the Confederate Military Secret Service, Anderson? Lee, the man in military uniform who almost turned Han Fei into the biggest terrorist in the history of the Alliance, breathed a sigh of relief the moment he heard the voice of the communications soldier - fortunately, he left the contact information to the mercenary TF just in case, otherwise the matter would not have known how to end.

"Han Fei, wait a minute, your friend is online now, I'll take you all in right away."

Anderson's hand slid through the air a few times, the air screen sensed the deputy director's gesture, and the main control computer in the communications room connected the communications of the three people.
