Chapter 227: Unexpected
"The battle between your royal families is too complicated for me to understand and don't want to get involved."
He turned the newspaper to Jeffrey, pointed to the picture on it, and said, "Cornelys isn't going to be on her cousin's side, and you don't have to be afraid that I'll help Finn Lauren, I said, I'm not from the inner city, and the inner city has nothing to do with me."
Jeffrey didn't read the newspaper, but kept his eyes on Shu Yungui, a pair of extremely shrewd eyes that could see through all the disguises of his opponent.
"You're mistaken, I'm not worried that you're going to help Finn Laure."
Jeffrey sat quite upright, with elegance and confidence from his bones, Shu Yungui looked at his movements, only to feel that if he really wanted to change a king, at least in terms of behavior and etiquette, Jeffrey was completely qualified, and even compared with the royal orthodox Laurener family.
If this grace between gestures and gestures had not been acquired from childhood, it must have undergone rigorous training the day after tomorrow, and it seems that Jeffrey should have coveted the throne a long time ago.
"I think Mr. Shu is a smart man, and there is no need to go around and around when smart people talk to each other, let's get straight to the point, Finn Laurener can no longer form any resistance to the coexistence, and even if His Highness Corneerys doesn't make a fuss, his throne will be replaced soon."
"The Ninth Star needs a shrewd and capable leader, and the royal power may not be necessary, but this leader must have the right to make decisions on the Ninth Star, so for the Coexistence Faction, the title of "King" no longer needs to exist."
"Don't want a king? Do you want to change the form of government? Concentrate the power of the state on the Council, and you, as the supreme leader of the Council, will naturally become the most powerful person on the Ninth Star."
Shu Yungui smiled lightly: "It's just a word game of changing the name of "king", changing the soup but not the medicine."
"That's why I said that Mr. Shu is a smart man, since you helped His Highness Cornelis in the outer city and in the wilderness, then you must not be from the orcs' side, in that case, why can't we cooperate?"
Shu Yun leaned back in his chair and asked, "Tell me, what do you mean by cooperation?"
Jeffrey said, "There is no second person on the Ninth Star who can be supernatural except for you, and the second meeting between our Coexistence Faction and the orc leader will be held the morning after tomorrow, and we need and implore you to attend this meeting to deter those rude orcs."
"But I heard that your Coexistence Sect intends to coexist peacefully with the Orcs on the Ninth Star, and I can't accept this condition, and I don't want to do anything for the tiger."
"You misunderstood again, peaceful coexistence was only our idea before meeting with the orc leader, and later in the conversation with the orc leader, we also found out that our initial idea was too naïve, the orcs actually don't want to coexist peacefully with us, they came for aggression and threats, but unfortunately we understood too late."
It turns out that the coexistence faction has long abandoned the idea of peaceful coexistence?
Corneerys didn't mention this at all, Shu Yungui was a little surprised, and asked, "Then what do you think about orcs now?" Fight them to the death?"
Jeffrey shook his head again and sighed, "Unfortunately, we don't currently have the ability to fight the orcs to the death, and even with you joining, we may not be able to keep the ninth star from the orc's iron hooves."
"Really?" Shu Yungui asked rhetorically, "I don't believe you don't have some...... Special weapon against the enemy."
"You're talking about the power core, right?"
Jeffrey doesn't shy away from saying, "The core of power is not in the hands of the coexistenceists."
Shu Yungui lowered his eyebrows and said unhappily: "If our conversation is based on concealment and deception, then I don't think we have to talk."
He tried to get up, but Gran was pressed by the shoulder behind him.
"What do you mean?!"
He glared at Jeffrey and raised his hand to slap the table with a loud bang.
Jeffrey didn't have too much expression on his face, he motioned for Gran to let go of his hand, stretched out his hands to comfort Shu Yungui, and said, "I'm very sorry, Gran is from a military background, so it's inevitable to be rude, please forgive me, but
I have no deception about the core of the dynamics, it is indeed not in the hands of our coexistence."
Shu Yungui frowned deeply, how could the power core not be in the hands of the coexistence faction? So where is it now? If it is taken away by the orc leader, won't the ninth star be in danger?
Seeing his doubt, Jeffrey said, "That's why I'm coming to you, if the power core is in our hands, I can use it to threaten the orc leader, why worry about the next meeting?"
Looking at Jeffrey's expression doesn't look like lying, but Shu Yungui knows that it is impossible to tell whether these old foxes are lying just by micro-expressions, their control of their muscles has reached the level of perfection, even if Shu Yungui's ability is strong, he is just a fledgling stunned youth, and in the face of these people who have played power tricks for half their lives, they are as tender as little rabbits.
Shu Yungui didn't intend to play tricks with Jeffrey, he asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"We need to determine if the power core has fallen into the hands of the orc leader, and we want to find the orc leader's lair."
Jeffrey explained: "To tell you the truth, the orcs were not a species of the ninth star at the beginning, they invaded from an alien planet, they didn't have a leader at first, and the attack power of the orcs was far less strong than it is now, and we still have the ability to fight them, but they have evolved very quickly, and their lethality has skyrocketed, and this orc leader has only appeared in the past two months."
Nearly two months? Shu Yungui's forehead jumped, wouldn't that be about the same time as himself to come to the ninth star?
Shu Yungui immediately remembered the Monroe Observatory, if the so-called orc leader had received the distress signal from the Monroe Observatory like himself and got up to go to the ninth star, would the other party's positioning of the observatory be more accurate than his own?
If that's the case, it makes sense that the orc leader snatched the power core from the statue of the Holy Queen one step ahead.
But even this is not enough to explain why the orc leader was able to mobilize the orcs.
Shu Yungui absolutely believes in Cheng Jing's scientific research ability, she said that malignant mutants do not have human consciousness, then they must not have it, and looking at the attitude and way of IAFA and the monastery towards malignant deformations, it can further support the conclusion that malignant deformations do not have sanity.
Curiosity grew wildly, and even if Jeffrey didn't come to invite Shu Yungui, he himself really wanted to know what the origin of this orc leader was.
"I may not be able to achieve your goals so easily on my own."
Shu Yungui gently tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "The power core and the orc's lair are extremely dangerous things, I am fully capable of protecting myself under the attack of the orcs, but now I want to break into the Longtan Tiger's Lair for you, this deal seems to be very cost-effective."
"We see what you mean." Look at the book
Jeffrey said, "We won't let you fight alone, the weapons and armies of the inner city can be called upon by you within a certain limit, you just need to confirm whether the power core is in the hands of the orc leader and find his lair, after the matter is completed, our council will take the place of the royal family and agree to your marriage to His Highness Cornelies."
An inexplicable sentence suddenly came out, and Shu Yungui was smashed all over his head, and even suspected that he had a hearing problem.
"What? What did you just say?"
Jeffrey was very sure and said: "It has been the rule of the Ninth Star since ancient times that commoners cannot intermarry with the royal family, your background is indeed not high, and it is a fantasy to marry a royal daughter, but I promise you in the name of the chairman that once the matter is done, the royal family will not say a word about your marriage."
Shu Yungui looked at his sworn appearance, and even began to wonder if he really had something with Cornelies, which could make the people of this country have such a huge misunderstanding about their relationship.
"Wait...... Wait......"
"There's no time to wait!"
Geoffrey stood up, propped his hands on the marble tabletop, looked at Shu Yungui and pleaded, "Don't you know what a terrible thing it is for the orcs to 'electronize humans, when all human beings die out physically and become an electronic consciousness in the virtual world, then human beings are still human beings?' Humans this
The race was actually completely wiped out by that time!"
Shu Yungui Cancan said, "I know ......."
Jeffrey didn't pay attention to his words, and continued to be angry: "I have worked hard for so many years, by no means to become the leader of a group of codes in the virtual world, I will never allow them to carry out "human electronization" on the ninth star, we must find the power core to fight against the orc leader, if we can't find it......
His expression darkened, and with a desperate madness, he whispered, "If we are ultimately powerless to fight against the orcs, then I would rather die with the Ninth Star and leave a name in history than become an electronic ghost!"
With that, he withdrew and strode towards the door, patted Shu Yungui vigorously on the shoulder when he passed by, and said, "I believe that you, who have such amazing abilities, must not want to be stuffed into a machine, right?"
Shu Yungui didn't speak, and Jeffrey only acquiesced.
"I'll have someone pick you up before the meeting starts the morning after tomorrow, and I'll need you to pretend to be my subordinate to accompany me into the meeting site, and then find a way to investigate the orc leader."
He still wanted to explain the relationship between himself and Cornelys to Geoffrey, but the chairman of the board of directors, who was busy with government affairs, took the hat and ceremonial staff handed over by Gran, hurriedly saluted him, and disappeared outside the door.
There was another series of locking sounds from the door, and Gran followed Jeffrey down the stairs briskly, and couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, will this kid agree to your request?"
Jeffrey didn't look back, and said confidently, "The conditions I have offered are tempting enough, and no one in the world can resist the beauty of His Highness Cornelies."
Gran touched his chin and thought that this seemed to be the case, so he didn't ask any more questions, and as Jeffrey left the villa, he lowered his head and got into the car.
It's just that in a place where they couldn't see, Shu Yungui's gaze descended from the floor-to-ceiling window and fell straight on them.
