In an inconclusive ad hoc negotiation, both sides are testing each other's bottom line.

Although Sylvia Belmont never saw Sylvia's disguise, and always thought that Sylvia was the exiled Belmont tribesman, and she came here to complete the incident back then, she still instinctively negotiated with Sylvia on interests, and bit the bottom line and did not let go, so as to test Sylvia's psychological bottom line.

However, compared to Sylvier Belmont's serious attitude, Sylvia is obviously more casual, and will even deliberately make some flawed casual looks to make the other party think that she is bluffing.

In the end, both sides chose to silence before attracting the attention of those around them, and made an appointment for a time and place to talk next time.

Subsequently, the banquet of the Church of the Victims continued as usual, and another ordinary bishop of the Church appeared at the banquet as the host of the banquet, and then entertained the guests attending the banquet as the host, and also disclosed some public welfare undertakings to be carried out by the Church of the Victims in the future, and also discussed with the scholars who came to the banquet about the future research expenses and other matters.

In every way, the bishop who had been brought to the front of the Church of the Afflicted was very competent for his job, and the atmosphere of the banquet was always under his control, and everyone who attended the banquet received a satisfactory response, except for Leo and Sylvia, of course.

At the end of the feast, the bishop came to Sylvia and Leo, handed them an identity card, and said, "Mr. Leo, Miss Sylvia, Bishop Sylvia has instructed that these two documents be given to the two of them, and they may enter any of the archives and libraries of the Church with the help of their documents. ”

Leo and Sylvia were not polite, and after receiving their ID cards, they left in the inn's hovering car.

As the two of them left, Sylvinie, who was standing in a room on the top floor of the manor, also withdrew her gaze, and then quietly walked in the room for a while, walked out of the room, and said to the acolyte waiting outside the room, "Prepare the hovercar, I'm going to the valley." ”

When the acolyre heard the order, he immediately went to arrange for the levitation car for Sylvigne, who also changed into a very formal robe and boarded the car accompanied by the priest and the nun.

After taking off from the exclusive platform of the Church of the Afflicted Victims, the flying car flew all the way up, flying into a flying car route exclusive to the Church of the Afflicted Victims, in the central direction of Lancet City.

After flying for about ten minutes, the flying car passed through four barrier walls, and each time it passed through a barrier wall, it would be stopped by someone to check the identity, although each time it passed smoothly, but the procedures for stopping to check the identity were not omitted, and the more to the back, the stricter the review, and when it came to the last separation wall, even let the people on the flying car come down, and then comprehensively check the situation inside the flying car before letting them go.

If Leo were here, he would definitely find that the mecha sergeants stationed on these walls were getting more and more different, from the initial mecha sergeants who were just ordinary mecha sergeants, to the mecha sergeants with mysterious powers engraved on the surface, and then to the mecha sergeants whose pilots were also transcendental, and when they reached the last wall, the energy fluctuations on the mecha piloting the mecha were already comparable to those of the third-level psionics, and if they were fused with the mecha they were driving, they could even reach the strength of a fifth-level psionics.

If there are only a dozen mecha sergeants standing with such a powerful standing, it would be fine, but judging from the number of mecha on standby in the cabin of the separation wall, the number of such mecha sergeants is at least more than five hundred, plus the mecha sergeants of the previous few walls, the mecha sergeants in the entire Lanxi City should be more than five thousand, even if such strength is placed in the cosmic civilization, it will definitely be able to sweep most of the intrastellar civilizations that have just flown out of the planet's atmosphere.

However, such a powerful force was now building fortifications, not outside Lanxi City to storm the city, and it was clear that there must be something to fear them in the heart of the wall.

After the hovercar reached the final barrier, Sylvestris Belmont changed to a vehicle arranged by the wall's defenders, and then passed through the wall through an exclusive passage to the very heart of Lansey City.

The scene in this area and the scene on the other side of the wall are completely different worlds, there is no building more than three stories high, all the buildings are regular bunker-like buildings, and each building has large and small cluster laser cannons set up on the top and walls, which looks like a hedgehog.

Not only these large and small pillboxes on the ground, but even the bowl-shaped dome above was densely covered with a layer of cluster laser cannons, and there were even hundreds of large energy particle emitting devices that rushed out from the many laser cannon positions and hung upside down in the air.

In the old Earth era, the cluster laser cannon on the Prometheus can be said to be the strongest energy weapon, and this weapon is also very practical in the later Earth Federation, especially after miniaturization, it has become the standard configuration of the Earth Federation army, as for the energy particle launcher, it is not a weapon that should be in the old Earth era, but a weapon in the Earth Federation era.

Now these weapons from two different eras of the earth as a whole are concentrated, and their muzzles are all pointed, in a huge crater in the center of the clearing, which is constantly emitting black mist and emitting a bloody red light.

Severnie Belmont's vehicle expertly navigated through the dense turret buildings, eventually stopping at a small two-story building not far from the pothole.

I saw that the walls of this small building were carved with reliefs of the victims, and the reliefs were surrounded by a large number of patterns containing mysterious powers, and these patterns were working at the moment, constantly emitting waves of energy and other similar pillbox buildings, and finally blended with each other to form a barrier, blocking the black mist and blood-colored light gushing out of the huge pit opening.

As soon as the car stopped in the front garden of the bunker, a congregation of the Church of the Victims in full gear stepped forward, opened the door, and when they saw that it was Shivinie, they immediately saluted: "Suffering is not everything, Bishop Xiweni. ”

"The tribulation will pass, Brother Shakan. Shiverny Belmont also responded kindly, and then asked solemnly, "Where is the Pope now?

The Pope replied, "No, no, the Pope is checking the status of the weapons with the other adults, because the Pope feels that the next tide should break out in a few days." ”

"So fast?" said Shiverne Belmont, with a serious look on her face, "What about the supplies and manpower we need?

The high-level disciple immediately reported: "Not yet, there were some conflicts between the various god realms not long ago, and there were not enough people to be transferred over, but some high-level priests were sent, and as for the low-level combatants, we can only fill them by ourselves, the materials are quite sufficient, and they have been repaired, and the No. 7 and No. 13 energy generators that were damaged last time have also been replaced with new parts, and there will be no more accidents." ”

Shiverne Belmont nodded and said, "Well, I'll find a way to get those guys to send a group of sergeants over as a reserve in the next two days." So saying, she walked towards the bunker house and said, "When the Pope arrives, let me know at once." ”

Upon entering the room, Severie Belmont immediately went to her exclusive office and instructed the attendant to bring in the documents that needed to be handled by her.

Severie Belmont is a very serious person, and once she starts doing things, she puts her heart and soul into it, forgetting everything about the outside world.

When she finished the last document at hand, put down the pen in her hand, and stretched her waist, she found that there was no one more person in the room.

She instinctively made a defensive move, but when she saw the man clearly, her movements immediately changed, she got up from her chair, walked up to the man, and said very respectfully: "Greetings, Your Excellency." ”

The man smiled, reached out and patted Syverie Belmont on the forehead affectionately, and said, "I said, we don't have to be so serious when our family is here. ”

Sivinie Belmont shook her head, "No, if it is seen by other cultists, it will damage your majesty." ”

"If my majesty is so easily damaged, then don't let it be!" said the other man, untying the veil from his head, revealing his appearance.

If Leo is here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recognize that the person in front of her is Alice Belmont at first sight, because compared to Alice Belmont, who worked with him at the beginning, she looks more mature and majestic at this time, although she has only changed her temperament a little and looks a little older, but this change is enough to make her and Alice Belmont look exactly like two people.

Alice Belmont walked to the desk and said as she looked through the papers on the table, "I originally thought that you would come back tomorrow for the pre-war meeting, but I didn't expect you to come here today, are you already busy over there?"

Shiverne Belmont hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, is there two people in this world who look exactly the same?"

Alice Belmont said: "Of course, there are people who look alike, especially among people of the same blood, and people who look like each other are more likely to appear, and if you have time, you should take a look at the research reports of those scholars, although they are in a different direction and route from us, it does not mean that the content of their research is not valuable to us." ”

"No, you're mistaken!" "I mean the same looks, not the same, even the names, it's ......," she said, thinking for a moment and saying, "It's like looking in a mirror." ”

Hearing this, Alice's face became serious, and she said in a deep voice: "What is the specific situation, you can tell me." ”

Seeing this, Xiverie Belmont did not sell it, and carefully recounted the previous conversation with Leo and the meeting with Sylvia, and she did not notice that when she mentioned that the person she was talking to was called Leo Dodd, the expression on Alice's face became extremely shocked, and then when she mentioned Sylvia, her face instantly became gloomy.

When Syvernie Belmont finished telling her story and was about to ask Alice for advice, she soon noticed that Alice's expression was very wrong, and immediately asked, "Pope, is there something wrong with these two people?"

"Are they in the inner city now?" Alice asked in a deep voice instead of answering.

"Yes. Shiverne Belmont nodded, then told the hotel where the two were staying.

Alice was silent for a moment and then said, "You stay here for the next two days to preside over the fortifications, and I'll leave for a while." ”

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, and walked out of the office quickly.

Xiweni was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that the two people she had seen before were probably not ordinary, so she chased them out, wanting to go back to the inner city with Alice, but when she chased them out, she saw that Alice had already left in the hovercar she was riding in.

She would have liked to have a flying car from somewhere else to catch up, but Alice had already told her to stay here, and although it wasn't a formal order, it was almost the equivalent of a formal military order here, and if she left her post without permission, even if she was a member of the Church of the Afflicted and a member of the Belmont family, she would probably not escape the accountability of the Bachelors and the Sergeants' Guild.

On the other hand, after leaving the banquet hosted by the Church of the Victims, Leo and Sylvia freshened up in the hotel for a while, and then went their separate ways, Sylvia still went to inquire about the affairs of the city, while Leo still went to the general library to record various books.

Sylvia is worthy of being a secret agent, and soon she has a relationship with the local snakes in the lower urban areas of the inner city, and after paying some kinsa, she gets a lot of news from them that is not circulating in the lower reaches of the inner city.

For example, the inner city where you are now is only a part of the entire inner city, and if you walk a long way inside, you will encounter a camouflaged barrier wall, and after climbing over the barrier wall, you will enter a deeper inner city, and there are several layers of the inner city that even the local land snake does not know, but only knows that all those who try to approach or pass through the wall are either dead or missing, without exception.

After getting the news, she hired a flying car and walked around the edge of the wall, and found that some of the houses in and around the wall were stationed with Lan Xi's sergeants and some gods and spirits who didn't seem to be easy to mess with, which made her wonder if she should find an opportunity to sneak in and take a look.

However, instead of acting rashly, she returned to the general library and found Leo, who was about to finish the library's collection, and explained the situation and thoughts.
