Chapter XVII: The Calm Before the Storm

The next few days were spent in the training room and the silent manor in the spiritual center.

The content of the training is not only the control skills of the armor, but also the content of these practical battles and theories that Nuo can easily master, and this speed easily refreshes the record in the spirit center.

Now if Nuo and Yang are engaged in a knightly duel, in a short period of time with full firepower, Nuo has been able to ensure that he and Yang compete, in the last duel, even if Yang repeatedly explained that he used all his strength, but Nuo can still clearly feel Yang's concession, which makes him secretly embarrassed in his heart, so he learns very seriously about Jan's teaching.

After quickly mastering the technique in a short period of time, No's training has gradually moved away from the wide armor training room and into the physical training room.

His body is too weak for an armor manipulator, and if he goes to the battlefield, with his physical strength, no matter how strong his spirit is, his body will not be able to withstand the huge consumption of war.

A two-hour physical workout followed by a sparring with Jan in mobile armor has become Rino's training routine in recent days.

Even though it was actually difficult for Nuo to withstand such a large amount of intensity now, he still persevered under the huge physical pressure without saying a word, and he felt that the day of leaving Prison Island was not far off, and he needed to squeeze his potential to grow quickly.

……

The horn of dawn sounded, and the ordinary day began again.

As he walked out the door to start the day, a voice stopped him.

"No."

Tie's voice came coldly from the shadows beside her.

Since the last time the two met in the afternoon and began to prepare and plan, they haven't met for a long time, just came over to quickly exchange the information they have obtained, and then left quickly.

According to Ty, it was because some of the consuls of Prison Island who ate and drank together were not used to seeing Ti not see the figure for two days when he first took office, and finally appeared and ran to the middle of nowhere for a whole afternoon, so that they had to start dealing with chores, before Ty came to Prison Island to serve as the governor, this position was sat by a sleek old fritter, for his own career, not to offend one by one rotten maggots, and conscientiously took all the duties alone, and after Ti arrived, those who fished in troubled waters could not lie comfortably, teamed up to coerce Ti to do his job well.

Ty could have communicated with the head of the Pope's Hall, but because he wanted to rebel, he was embarrassed to use some powers that were not about to belong to him, so he swallowed his anger and dealt with some dirty work, not to mention that the importance of Prison Island was also very high, and the army was stationed to take care of it, and there were countless important tasks, which dragged down Ty's energy a lot, but at the same time, it also provided her with more channels to obtain information.

For example, today, when she went to inspect the garrison station, she accidentally learned a piece of news.

"Huh, Ti? What are you doing here? Is there anything that matters? ”

Although the two have seen each other significantly less recently, and the time spent together is not as good as a normal day, Nou is still very familiar with Ti's voice, and there is no trace of surprise at all, and almost at all times, Nou remains on alert.

"Yes, No, there is a more urgent matter, when we finished inspecting the garrison troops, we found that the defenders were significantly smaller, and then I inquired about the commander of the garrison, and he said that today the Pope held a major patrol ceremony in the Holy See, and ordered half of the armored warrior troops stationed on Prison Island to be transferred back to the Holy See to participate in the ceremony, and there was also a parade to show the people the heroic posture of the army of the Papal States, I have also heard about this, and yesterday I also received an invitation letter from the Pope Hall, Even the second-generation armor that I was suitable for was sent to me, and it seemed that I was determined to participate, but due to my busy duties recently, I rarely participated in such a show in the past, so I refused. ”

"Hmmm......"

"This is a very normal move, the defenders are less than half, but the remaining armored troops will still not be something that the two of us can compete with, even if there is a strong personal strength, it is not enough to be trampled by an army composed of a hundred ordinary mobile armor."

"Yes, I understand, but the garrison commander inadvertently revealed to me at the end that, according to some secret agreement, half of the remaining armored troops were ready to escort something in the mourning center in the afternoon."

"Even so, I didn't think it was the best opportunity, even if the conditions were tempting enough, but I thought about it again and thought of the agreement between the Spirit House and the Pope's Chamber, which you told me earlier......

No, holding his chest with one hand and his chin with the other: "Research protocol on the primordial armor!" ”

"Hmm."

Ti nodded: "Originally, there was not much left in the garrison, and on the premise of less than half, half of it had to be assigned to escort something, its value must be self-evident, very important, even if it was not the original armor in the end, it should be of high enough value in exchange for our freedom." ”

Nuo looked at Ti with some surprise: "Do you want to take the risk of robbing this mysterious key item?" ”

"Whew~"

Ty took a deep breath: "Yes, any impossible success requires enough courage to take impossible risks, this is the truth I learned from you, I don't want to cringe anymore, I hope, take the initiative and seize this opportunity!" ”

A smile appeared on Nuo's face: "Ti, I didn't expect you to have such crazy times, but I agree with you, if you want to escape from Prison Island, it is almost impossible, just hundreds of armored troops are not the strength of two or three people, today's opportunity is already unavoidable, even if you don't make a decision in the end, I will start this prison escape operation." ”

Ti looked at the smiling No, and his tense face was instantly relieved: "Thank you, No." ”

Nou shook his head: "Ti, get ready, we will face the first and possibly last impossible battle in our lives, which will directly determine our future." ”

Ti's face showed confidence: "If we can't succeed in this opportunity, maybe we really don't have the ability to break fate, but I believe in myself, I believe we can do it, I have made a simple plan on the way here, according to past experience, the handover of goods between the spirit and the army will be at the dark red gate that separates the two worlds, when I go to attack the personnel of the spirit center, the armor army will definitely protect them, you need to find a way to get the armor from the spirit center, And safely come out of the spiritual place with the armor, take advantage of the chaos to capture that precious item, and then get the opportunity to trade with the Pope's Chamber. ”

Nou carefully considered Tie's plan, and it felt that it was reasonable, but there was still a lot to do, but in this emergency, such a plan was the best they could think of so far, and they didn't have much time to think about more details.

"Okay, first do what you say, I will do it here, you don't have to worry, when the bell rings in the afternoon, I will appear at the door on time, you can do it boldly and boldly."

Noor said to Ti, the faint light shining on his face, showing his calmness.

The two said goodbye briefly, and Nuo unconsciously quickened his pace.

……

After a regular training session, Nuo and Young sat in the same position as usual and ate lunch.

This was almost the last time Nuo dined in the spiritual place, and the unusually delicious food made Nuo, who had no appetite, feel a little reluctant.

But he needs to get down to business first.

"Jan, what would you do if you left the spiritual place? Join a large armed group in the city of Konjin and become a mercenary rebel against the Papal States? ”

After Nuo finished his last bite of food, he started the conversation with Yang beside him as usual chatting.

"Perhaps, I heard that most of these armed groups also have a source of obtaining armor, although there are no advanced second-generation armor, but with my personal ability, I can also mix a small boss in it."

Young's tone was full of confidence, and he made a humorous joke.

Nuo laughed heartily: "Of course, your strength must be handy." ”

Jan sensitively asked, "Why are you talking about this topic?" ”

Nou shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "People always like to daydream and have some good visions of us, and I also thought that if I could get out of this place, maybe I would try to let go of my hatred and live a peaceful life." ”

Jan smiled disdainfully, "Life wouldn't have made it so easy for you, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many stupid parishioners who secretly pray for the gods' salvation, they are the most loyal faith, and the cheapest faith." ”

Noh sighed, seeming a little melancholy.

Yang looked at Nuo, who was suddenly a little sad, thought for a while, and said, "Do you really want to get out of here?" I heard Professor Florian say that you are the illegitimate son of the Pope, and even then, you should not be reduced to this. ”

No's gaze darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "This is a sad story, Jan, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Of course, No, maybe I won't be comforting, but I'll be a good listener. ”

"I'll just talk about it briefly."

"I was born into royalty, but my mother was a lowly maid with no status, and I was just the product of the Pope's impulses. After three years in the dark utility room, my mother became an outcast for power, and I was forced to wander to a shelter in Tru, but the director of the asylum was a brute, so a few years later, I killed him when he was doing something to me, and finally went around and returned to the royal family, and continued to live in a place where almost no one knows, and now the value of my existence is nothing more than to create a value for the Pope that I can survive. ”

A short profile of his life, Jan was silent, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face.

"Did you find all of this yourself?"

Jan asked.

"He told me about his life, on the first day I came back."

Noe replied blandly.

"It is worthy of the country I hate, I used to think that I was miserable, and now, in the face of you, I am ashamed of the happiness I once had."

Jan clenched his fists.

"I know your purpose, No, if you don't want to do something crazy, you won't reveal your heart to me, I believe in your story, people like you are not cruel enough to deceive their past, and you have touched me."

Noh didn't speak, silently looking at Yang's lowered face.

"I won't stop you, and I'll help you as much as I can, No, maybe you were still wary of me before, but now I'm very sincere."

Nono reached out and patted Yang on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other, clenching their fists into each other's chests.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too."

Nono left, and Jan sat quietly in his seat, not saying a word.

The world seems to have become infinitely silent.

All this is just the calm before the storm.
