Chapter 46: The North Atlantic (Part II)
ββ¦β¦ An hour earlier, the Privy Cavalry's office in Rio had been stormed by an angry populace, and in previous news reports, the ACA had claimed that the Knights had planned an attack on Rio and had killed and injured more than 4,000 people. The photo of the injured is very similar to an attack six months ago, and the ACA declined to comment on this question, saying that people have the right to express their anger, and the Privy Cavalry has now promised to open an investigation......"

Ling Yu looked at the flaxen-haired girl, she had a relatively petite stature - of course, only for the tall Jeunse, she had to look at least one meter six or five on visual inspection, but at least Ling Yu was no longer the shortest in the group.
Completely different from the majesty and politeness that should be on the official face, Linya, who has a pair of green eyes and delicate features like a doll, looks extremely lively at this time, and the girl who has come out of Jeunsi's arms is talking about something with Jeunsy - but judging from her attitude towards Ling Yu and Logan's disregard, this should be Jeunsi's exclusive preferential treatment.
ββ¦β¦ In short, to put it simply, because the days in the office are so boring, I have managed to win the task of escorting this time to pick up my dear little angel! β
"Okay, okay~" Jess was also very happy to see her best friend, took Linya's hand, turned around, and introduced the two men who were left out behind her, "This is Ling Yu, my current boss, this is Mr. Craig, his friend." β
"Hello, Logan Craig." Compared to Ling Yu, who was still stunned in place, Logan was obviously much better at socializing, "Just call me Logan." β
"Ling Yu." However, the young man in black obviously did not really have a social barrier, and nodded lightly and introduced himself very briefly.
"Well, you've been taken care of by Jesse during this time." Linya blinked, completely devoid of her previous liveliness, and just spoke with a formulaic smile.
It seemed that something was reversed, Ling Yu complained helplessly in his heart, "Hmm...... Jeunese is indeed a qualified ...... I mean excellent...... Knight. β
"Don't make a fuss, Linya." Jeunsy also sweated for this girl who had always been like her sister, she glanced at Ling Yu, selectively ignored the neglected Logan, and turned her head to look at Linya, who was a little shorter than herself, "So you're just here to take care of receiving these weapons?" β
"Not exactly." Linya took a step back and scratched her short flaxen hair, "Jeunse, that donkey-faced uncle is going to get you in trouble again." β
"Uncle Donkey's Face?" Ling Yu and Luo Gen looked at each other.
"Master Marven...... "Jesse reached out and touched the annoyed Linya's head, helping her straighten out her messy hair, "It's okay, I already knew." β
"It's not the same as before! Because you are already in the training period, and you have done such a big thing, it is not certain that you may be confined or take the emblem this time. Linya looked up at Jesse and sighed, "I don't understand why you're so open-minded, just for this guy who doesn't seem to be special?" β
"It doesn't matter if you take the emblem, but you can't be confined." Jiesi turned around and gave Ling Yu, who was frowning, a smile, "I still have something to do." β
"Wait, things don't sound good," Ling Yu stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between Linya and Jeunse, "Can you explain to this 'nothing special' guy what the emblem capture and confinement are all about, and why?" β
"It's all a means of punishment for the Knights." Logan also stepped forward and gave an explanation before Linya, "Winning the emblem is to cancel the permission of a knight, the black technology equipment is confiscated, and the resources of the knights can no longer be mobilized, the safe house, and the right to contact the hermit will also be deprived, and generally the knights who are robbed of the emblem will be required to stay in Iceland to avoid dying outside, and the knights who can't mobilize resources are good targets, and the ACA has put a bounty on each knight, whether they live or die." β
"As for the reason," Rogan turned his head and looked in the direction of the tail of the plane, "I guess it has something to do with the big trouble in Rio." β
"I didn't know to be so strict," Ling Yu turned his head to look at Jiesi, "You should have sued me earlier, I shouldn't have taken you there." β
"I forgot." With a serious smile, Jesse tells lies that no one believes.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'you don't know'! It's a little too late to shirk responsibility. Linya was obviously not satisfied with Ling Yu's answer, and cast a hostile gaze.
"I'm not going to shirk my responsibility." Ling Yu subconsciously touched the short knife behind his waist, and then took a breath, "Logan, I remember you said that the top leaders of the Knights are a group of sanctimonious hypocrites, full of benevolence and morality, but they have learned the dirty and bloody affairs of politicians thoroughly in private, right?" β
"Hey, hey! We're on someone's plane! Logan subconsciously took a step back, looking at Jeunse, who was stunned in place, and Linya, who almost exploded, "Big brother, are you crazy?" β
"No, no, that's a compliment, at least for now." Ling Yu evoked a cold smile, "That's easy, as long as I don't really read the book of the sages for the God of Truth to burn out my brain, I have chips here that they can't refuse." β
"Everyone has their own price, and mine is much higher than Jeunse."
"No way!"
Ling Yu said, stretched out his left hand wrapped in black gloves, and was about to take off the gloves, but Jiesi suddenly rushed in front of Ling Yu with an almost crazy step, and grabbed his wrist, "Only this is absolutely not good!" β
"Lord Paterson, we're about to go into landing orbit, please come back to the cockpit."
"Okay."
At this juncture, the radio in the cargo hold suddenly sounded, Ling Yu frowned and looked at the left hand held by Jiesi, for the first time, Ling Yu felt Jiesi's nervousness, and trembled.
"Why......"
Ling Yu wanted to ask a question, but saw Jiesi shake her head with an unquestioning gaze, "I have my way, boss, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't think about the way back?" β
"Anyway, if anything happens to the little angel, I'll screw your head off." Linya also seemed to be frightened by Jeunse's expression, took a step back, and said a cruel word - of course, at this time, it would probably mean that she would not be held accountable in action.
"Listen to me." Ling Yu's black pupils radiated a cold light.
"Hey, don't make such a fuss, okay?" Logan stepped forward, made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, and turned to Linya, "So, Your Excellency Petterson, are you going back to the cockpit?" β
Logan tried his best to smile a little warm, but in the next second, a fist slammed into his face.
"It's for that sentence."
Linya, who was more angry, pretended to shrug her shoulders calmly, and then instantly changed her face and changed her face to a smiling expression, "Then I'm leaving, Jeunse, happy home." β
ββ¦β¦ I love this fist. Logan staggered up from the ground, Ling Yu held him up, looked at the blood line flowing from his nostrils, and smiled dumbly.

Reykjavik, Iceland, 3:42 p.m. local time.
It was the first time for Ling Yu to come to ReykjavΓk, and from countless video materials, Ling Yu's impression of this country, which originally belonged to Denmark and was characterized by glaciers and knights, was snow-white.
Stepping down from the cargo door at the tail of the transport plane, Ling Yu's black military boots stepped on Icelandic soil, and the cold touch hit his body, which was a snowflake flying in the sky.
"Does it snow all year round in this place?"
Luo Gen walked behind Ling Yu, looked at Jiesi more than the two, and sighed alone.
"No matter how long the winter is, it will pass." Jesse smiled and raised her head, as if she could see the sun behind her through the heavy clouds, "In Iceland in summer, there will be grasslands and waterfalls, and every neighborhood will be full of flowers of various colors. β
"It's like human civilization." Jeunsy turned around and made a summary.
"Except for the last sentence, I admit that you have a talent for poets." Ling Yu stretched out his hand and patted Jiesi's shoulder, and looked at the pickets in the distance wearing white military coats and silver cloaks walking towards this side, which is equivalent to military police, "Let's deal with the situation in front of us first." β
"Leave it to me." Jesse threw out a sweet smile as usual, then pressed a few times on her metal wrist and walked over to the picket scribe.
"Chief Knight of the Privy Cavalry, Captain of the Former Guards Cavalry, Jeunese Meeno The gorgeously dressed man at the head spoke indifferently, he was about fifty years old, his hair was completely gray, and his chin was very prominent even in Europe and the United States, which was very much in line with Linya's title of "Uncle Donkey's Face".
"Lord Marvin Gregg, Chief Scribe of the Privy Cavalry, Vice-President of Parliament, President of the Academy of Sciences." Jeunse put away her smile and straightened up in a knightly salute.
"No courtesy." Marven raised his hand gently, his face seemed to be colder than the cold wind mixed with flying snow, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a protest from the ACA, in view of your actions in Brazil, the picket court has issued a default judgment on you, and the punishment is dismissal from office, one year of hard labor, and deprivation of knightly privileges for five years, do you have anything to say?" β
"This ...... This sentence is too heavy! Luo Gan, who was behind Ling Yu, subconsciously whispered, this is indeed much stricter than the sentence estimated by Linya, "There is no death penalty in the Knights, hard labor is the highest punishment, and this sentencing process is almost a punishment for defecting knights, the Knights and the ACA should still be the warring parties, Jess is at most disobedient and acting without authorization, why was she charged with defection?" β
Ling Yu didn't speak, but his right hand, which was holding on top of his chest, gently reached into his jacket, grasped the handle of the Enigma Pistol, and then began to measure the distance between the surrounding knights and himself.
"Wait, that's not fair!"
Before Jesse could speak, Linya's voice came from the side, and the blue knight, who had just taken off his flying helmet, rushed to Jessy's side, "This is not in order, Chief Scribe!" β
"There's no place for you to talk here!" Marven raised his eyebrows coldly, "The judgment of the picket court has absolute effect. β
"It's okay, Linya." Jeunse didn't seem to be intimidated by the unfair verdict, "Your Excellency the Scribe, I'm carrying out the 'oracle' plan. β
"No," Marven said coldly like a man, "The 'oracle' plan is led by the scribes, and I am the leader, you should follow my orders, obey me, and report to me." β
"The 'oracle' project is an order of Isaac Rasmiussen, Captain of the Privy Council, Chief of the Cabinet, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and Chief Executive of the Armed Forces, and you are only in charge, and I am not necessarily reporting to you."
"THESE COSPLAY-LOVING GUYS HAVE REALLY LONG TITLES, REALLY MIDDLE TWO." Logan continued to whisper.
"Isaac...... Speaker Rasmussen is not aware of your actions, I confirm that. Marven's expression was a little loose, but Ling Yu read a hint of bad meaning, "Do you want to picket the court to question Chief Rasmussen?" β
"Of course there's no need for that," Jeunse's smile tinged with a hint of indifference, "but Chief Rasmussen once ordered that any knight could dispose of it on his own if he found a clue to the 'oracle' plan, right?" β
"Your own disposal is to cause a massacre of 4,000 dead people in Rio?" Marven retorted, "The ACA claims that your attack caused more than four thousand casualties, how do you explain it?" β
"You believe the words of those scumbags?!" Linya finally couldn't help it.
"Shut up! Otherwise, you know the consequences! Marven yelled at Linya again.
"It seems that you do have the evidence provided by the ACA that I killed 4,000 people, Your Excellency the Scribe." Jessy's smile grew colder and colder, but the girl suddenly smiled bitterly, and then sighed, "Then I don't have anything more to say." β
"You should understand that we need one voice, one thought, one purpose, and this is what will allow us to survive in both camps and continue to protect the foundations of humanity." Marven smiled imperceptibly and spoke, "If you can understand, you won't act on your own." β
After speaking, Marven waved his hand, and the two picket knights pulled out their swords from their waists and rushed towards Jiesi.
In the next second, Ling Yu put his left hand behind his back and raised four fingers at Luo Gan.
