Chapter 921: Dramatization, and Confusing History
Chapter 921 Dramatization, and Confusing History
Actually, I don't think it's a wise choice to visit Sylvia's little dessert shop with Sandora, because I obviously forgot the results of the strange chronic son of the silver-haired mole before-
The guy didn't know how long it would take to prepare the snacks to feed Sandora, but before that Sandora had starved herself to death. Of course, it's more likely that Sandora will sweep through Sylvia's shop with a mouthful.
Well, it's all at the door of the store anyway, so it's useless to think about it.
The pleasant sound of "jingle bells......" rang out as the glass door of the shop was pushed open, and Sandora and I walked into the always quiet dessert shop and found that there was no one inside, as expected.
Sylvia's dessert shop usually has few customers visiting, this is because the stupid silver-haired mole opened the shop on the military blockade line in a daze, she has special permissions, so there is no problem at all, but the ordinary residents of Shadow City don't dare to approach the military blockade line casually, and the nearest Shadow Fortress is full of Imperial soldiers and the like, where are the customers who can often visit the dessert shop? On weekdays, there are only two kinds of customers that Sylvia can expect, one is the students of the Military Academy, especially the Misaka sisters, they will occasionally come to buy desserts, but the Military Academy is also quite far from here, and the Misaka people come here very rarely, and the other is a small number of mass-produced hosts in the base, probably due to some logical mutations that cannot be explained yet, there are some mass-produced Xiling hosts in the Shadow Fortress that are different from other mass-produced sisters, they will be interested in desserts, He is the only regular customer in Sylvia's small shop.
But no one will be there at this time.
Sylvia's shop is like a haven of seclusion, and despite being opened in such a nerve-wracking place as the military blockade, there is always a soothing and peaceful smell here, the small shop is spotlessly cleaned, the windows facing the exit of the alley are clear and tiled, and the gentle sunlight pours into this neat little shop through the windows, allowing the elves of light to jump happily on every small table and round chair, and the sound of wind chimes at that moment does not break the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here. On the contrary, it fills the surroundings with a warm and leisurely atmosphere.
Behind the long counter facing the door of the store, the silver-haired girl is jumping to wipe the tall glass closet, and in the closet are the most proud special snacks in the shop, although Sylvia's height is not low, but it obviously takes effort to wipe the top of the closet, she can only jump around to complete this difficult work, the girl's clumsy actions and the "hey" sound that cheers for herself from time to time makes people feel quite funny, but Sylvia herself is unaware, It's just a person immersed in his own fulfilling work, and the skirt is flying.
"Shall we tell her that the ladder is against the wall next to it?"
Shando tugged at my arm and whispered.
"There's a chance that the ** will fall."
I thought about it and answered in the affirmative.
Then Sandora stopped talking.
Sylvia's ears were sharp, and she must have heard the wind chimes ringing at the door, so Sandora and I sat down near the door by the window, waiting for Sylvia to react.
I was worried that Sylvia would go hungry before Sylvia could react, because I didn't think much of the mole's reflex arc, and in fact I sometimes wondered if Sylvia's slow reflex nerve was the result of joining all the production raven reflex arcs together, because no matter how I looked at it, her normal temperament was incredibly slow. But fortunately, Sylvia was relatively quick this time, and when Sandora was about to speak to the table in front of her, she finally realized that a customer had come to the store, so she stopped jumping in front of the closet, turned around with a smile, and said slowly: "Ah~~ There are guests - eh? It's you—"
You have to have the heart to live with Sylvia, the only thing to be thankful for is that her slow tone sounds very comfortable, but it won't make you anxious, I stretched out my finger and pointed at Sandora, and put this 100,000 urgent question in front of Sylvia in a hurried tone: "Don't say anything, Sandora is hungry, prepare some hungry snacks for her first...... If you don't have to prepare, just take the ready-made counter...... Hey, I'll take it myself......"
Sylvia hadn't reacted yet, I was already done, considering that when this guy brought the snacks, I was afraid that Sandora would start to bite, so I decisively said hello to her and went to the counter to move things out, and after a while, Sylvia said with a smile: "Ahh
By this time, Sandora had already begun to lick the fourth plate.
"Would you like something to drink?" After a while, Sylvia put a lighter pastry in front of me, and asked unhurriedly with a warm smile on her face.
"Whatever you want," I said, glancing at Sandora who was gobbling up, "bring her a glass of orange juice before this girl chokes to death." ”
When Sylvia went to prepare the drink, I couldn't help but glance at Sandora: "Hey, no one is robbing you again, eat slowly." ”
"The perfect way to enjoy dessert is to eat it in three bites!" Sandora replied without raising her head, although she ate fast, but the magic was that she did not affect her appearance and ability to speak clearly, I think that Shandora who is now sweeping the dinner table like this is the cutest one, with a happy look on her face, and her unguarded behavior in front of the people she trusts are all cute, and there is also a little bit of cream on the corner of her mouth - I wiped the corners of her mouth with my hand, as if taking care of a little girl, this action must be fast and accurate, Because you may be bitten if you react a little slower, this action can refer to rescuing a cricket from a set of high-speed rotating gear sets, with a difficulty coefficient of at least 9.0, so we estimate that I am the only person who can help Sandora wipe her face when she eats.
"It's so good," Sylvia's voice came from the side, and the silver-haired girl placed the two drinks in front of us, her eyes sweeping between me and Sandora, "Are you showing off in front of me?" ”
I was about to take a sip of my drink when I suddenly felt something was not right, and then suddenly realized that Sylvia had just spoken very smoothly.
"Bella Vera?" I was amazed to see the silver-haired girl who was already sitting next to her, eating her guest's snacks and blatantly drinking my and Sandora's drinks from time to time, and the other party looked so different from the timid and dull silver-haired mole that I immediately recognized that this was another personality in Sylvia's soul: the former fallen emperor Bella Vera had awakened.
Sandora swallowed the food in her mouth, her eyes staring at Ciel...... Bella Vera, with curiosity in her tone: "You are already free to wake up?" ”
"Sylvia woke me up," Bella Vera snapped her fingers, sending the snacks from the counter behind her to the table in front of Sandora, replacing the empty plates with a playful expression, "It's you, I don't think a Hiling Emperor can eat and eat things in his face." ”
"Lovers are by my side, it's my privilege to eat things on my face," Sandora waved her hand indifferently, "It's just a small interaction between me and Ah Jun~~"
"Hey, I just said you two are showing off in front of me," Bella Vera glanced at the two of us, completely different from the honest and sluggish Sylvia, this guy is a very powerful and slightly dark-bellied royal sister, but the person is good, "You guys have some trouble in the other world?" ”
I knew that Bella Vera must have some purpose in waking up, although she said that she was woken up by Sylvia, but the silver-haired mole with a bad brain didn't know when to wake her up without the former's prompt, and now it seems that Bella Vera seems to be interested in our battle in the Ruins World.
"I fought with your former colleagues," Sandora didn't hide it, and told Bela Vera about the encounter that happened in the Ruins World as simple as possible, although the other party used to be a fallen apostle, but now he has become his own person, and he has made such a great contribution when he was in the Great Nebula, he is still trustworthy, "Although he won the last battle, he also suffered a lot of battle damage, and now he is making every effort to repair those warships and replenish the source of new soldiers." By the way, now that you're awake, there's something you might know about it — look at this. ”
As she spoke, a holographic projection was turned on in mid-air, and what appeared on the projection was a black-and-red military emblem, which was the mark on the battleship of the Fallen Apostles who were fighting fiercely with the Emperor at that time.
"Do you know?" Sandora looked at Bella Vera hopefully, "You used to have a good position in the Fallen Apostle Legion, which army is this, and in the entire Fallen Apostle Legion, how big is it?" What is the status? ”
Sandora's questions are all that we are eager to know now, we must roughly deduce the comparison of the strength between the Fallen Apostles and the current new empire, and the breakthrough point is the enemy fleet that fought fiercely with the Emperor ** in the Ruined World before, although Lin Xue used his prophecy ability to roughly judge that the other party belonged to a relatively large amount of power in the entire Fallen Apostle camp, but their more detailed situation was not so easy to predict.
In contrast, Bellavera is more likely to have precise intelligence.
"The mixed Third Army of Harlan and Zadom." Bellavira ate a snack while casually glancing at the holographic projection in mid-air, "It's not surprising, the two of them have become the most active military force in the camp of the fallen apostles after annexing several small legions, and then reorganizing the army, basically they are present in every large-scale foreign operation, and Harlan is still a speculator...... Among the unexpected surprise attacks and various high-risk and high-reward actions, he was the first. ”
Bellavila really knows!
My heart suddenly became excited, Bellavila's awakening was simply too timely, it seems that our intelligence breakthrough of the Fallen Apostle will ultimately depend on this former Fallen Emperor.
"Harlan? Zadom? Because I heard two unfamiliar names, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "The two of them are also emperors?" ”
If the opponent was two emperor-level fallen apostles, it might have been a matter of course to encounter an enemy raid of that magnitude in the Ruined World, and that battle was very dangerous, so these two were definitely very formidable enemies. Anyway, there are suddenly two more enemies, and they are at the emperor level, although I have long known that the fallen apostle of the Dao must be a huge threat, I still feel a headache.
"Only Harlan is the Emperor, and Zadom is the most powerful general under Harran," Bellavila said in a deep voice, "a little tricky. Harlan was a very powerful Emperor of Hilin before he became a fallen apostle, with a huge range of abilities, basically no one knew what all his strength was like, Zadom was a war maniac like Pandora, he used to arm himself all the time, of course, no matter how strong an individual's strength is, there is a limit, and the most dangerous thing for these two people is their army...... The Mixed Third Army is a large army, with an incredible number of combat effectiveness, and the largest production base, and it is also a large army that is important in the camp of the Fallen Apostles, and they suffered heavy losses in this battle, but Harlan and Zadom themselves did not appear on the battlefield, which means that you still have not been able to defeat their core, so it may not be long before these two men will make a comeback...... Well, it's a bit strange that Zadom often appears on the battlefield in person, and this time he didn't even show up......"
Bella Vera said, her brows furrowed slightly, "Based on your description and my worst memories, if you extrapolate, the Emperor ** basically defeated half of Harlan's army this time, even in the entire Fallen Apostle camp, this is a very serious battle damage." Harlan had become a complete speculator after his fall, and he must have thought of a higher reward for such a high-risk operation, but in the end, all he had to rob was the wreckage of a battleship? What is so special about that wreckage that it deserves to be so exciting. ”
"Then you can take a look at this again, this is the emblem that we got from the Ruins World Realm, and the emperor who fought with Viska 700,000 years ago," I remembered that I wanted to ask Bella Vera before, but I didn't think about it for a while, so I took out the armor fragment with a golden ring mark from the carry-on space, "The wreckage of the battleship that was snatched also has the same mark, can you recognize it?" ”
"This?" Bellavera's eyes widened and she stared at the metal fragment in my hand, "That guy...... Sure enough, it seems that Harlan is here for the wreckage, which is really dramatic - guess whose it is? ”
Sandora and I didn't speak, staring straight at Bella Villa to see how long this guy with a little bad personality could hold back, but within half a minute, Bella Villa surrendered: "Okay, okay, you two really have the same heart - then scare you, this emblem is not the military emblem of the main fleet of the Empire, but belongs to a special independent unit, and the leader of this unit is ...... Occam. ”
Bella Vera's voice fell, and Sandora and I were stunned.
"Occam?" I stammered as I looked at the metal fragment in my hand, "The one that hung up in the Templar Archive?" ”
Bella Vera nodded: "That's him." One of the top chief scientists of the Old Empire, this emblem is unique to his army, and I will not be mistaken. ”
"A private army of scientists?" I thought it was incredible, "And the scale can be so big that it can defeat Visk's legion of destruction, was Occam engaged in scientific research or military power?" ”
It's incredible, I've made a lot of guesses about this golden ring mark, but I didn't expect it to be Occam's emblem, the cunning and depraved apostle I killed in the Templar Archive, and even more incredible is that Occam is a scientist and has a huge fleet in the Old Empire! Visk's legion of destruction was routed by his fleet, what is that?
Scientists know martial arts, and hooligans can't stop them, but Occam has a fleet, which is how many hooligans square they are.
"Under normal circumstances, scientific researchers will not be interested in the military, nor will they have their own direct legions, let alone their own legion emblems, but this is just a general situation," Bellavila took the metal fragment from my hand, revealing a look of reminiscence, "There are some scientists in the old empire who are different, they have two identities, researchers, and army commanders, this is not contradictory, because the policy of action of the Apostle of Hilin is to put the interests of the race and victory first, as long as they have the ability to win, scientists can also become military commanders." And in many cases, armies led by scientific researchers will have more powerful combat effectiveness, because they always have no scruples about placing all kinds of dangerous verification weapons on battleships, as long as they can obtain first-hand data on new weapons, they dare to challenge any battlefield environment, Occam is a typical example......"
I deeply agree with Bella Vera's statement, the lower limit of scientific research of the Hiling technicians has been seen by themselves, monster ships like the Eternal class and Pandora's individual fortress arsenal are their masterpieces, these guys do Edison's work but have Hitler's heart, the data shows that most of the Imperial scientists' laboratories have the same alert level as the Abyss Front, and they like to have a big explosion in their own research institute the most- Actually, I've always thought that one of the big reasons why Tavel ran around with a lot of mass projections was to save the time it would take to resurrect herself, and a lot of her research was crazy......
Bella Vera was silent for a few seconds, as if recalling something from a long time ago, and then handed the piece of metal back to me: "A long, long time ago, in the old Imperial era, Occam's army was battered, almost two-thirds of it was lost, and it is said that it also lost one of his most important scientific research ships, and the impact of that incident in the One Hundred and Three Days Sector was so great that even I had heard of it, and now that I think about it, maybe that was the first time he and little Viska met...... It was precisely because of that great loss that Occam's army never recovered, until the catastrophe struck and the old empire collapsed, and his old army was simply reorganized with me and Savi's army, and disappeared. You see, as I said, it's just dramatic. ”
"Wait, wait," I felt like my head was as big as a fight, and quickly waved my hand to stop, "It's a bit of a mess - in chronological order, the old empire was still there 700,000 years ago, Occam was a scientist with an army, and then he encountered Visk's Legion of Destruction in the Ruins World, the two fought, the Legion of Destruction was defeated, and the Occam Legion was lost by a third and then evacuated, and then he never had the opportunity to rebuild the legion, and soon the old empire suffered a cataclysm, the abyss broke out, and he and you and Savi and others were transformed into fallen apostles, The remnants of Occam's army were absorbed by you, and Occam's legion was removed, and Viska was captured by the Fallen Apostles by mistake, infected by the Abyss, and became a member of your faction, and joined the two of you...... Then came the problem, Occam didn't know Visk, and Viska didn't remember where he had seen this emblem! What's going on? ”
