"I know, of course, that nationalization of the army is basically impossible in Iberia."

Pedro frowned, his eyes staring at the flames jumping in front of him, as if looking for answers in the flickering light and shadow, the light of the flames reflected on his face, adding a warm color to his countenance, but his eyes revealed deep worry and thought.

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the hilt of the sword at his waist, a habitual movement of his and a silent expression of his thoughts.

The old man's words were harsh, but the young man knew that they were words of concern and experience.

"The Iberian genealogy was founded with too much authority given to the [miracles] at the top of the lineage, and the level of Iberian think tanks was neither up to the level of constraining the top of the lineage, nor to balancing the resources of the whole lineage.

The bane of Iberia was the Combined Military Council of Academic Thaumaturgists and [Hall of the Hunt] hunters; The armed forces are allowed to engage in production and business activities, and units below the special combat level are to develop planting, animal husbandry, animal husbandry, forestry, and processing of agricultural and sideline products. The armed forces are contracted to carry out national and local construction projects and transportation tasks independently or in cooperation with the military, as well as to contract the country's barren mountains, wastelands and barren beaches for development and afforestation......"

Pedro calmed down and continued:

"The many years of rule of the distinctive army composed of the scholars of the Iberian Academy of Sciences, the chief hunters and saints of the Hunting Hall, and the consuls representing the power of the government reflect that internal corruption is inevitable. Theoretically, the army is not exclusive to individuals and has no factional distinctions, but is owned by all the people of a country and is under the command of all the people. However, there are always deviations, which I can understand, but excessive deviations must be corrected in time. ”

"One of the basic functions that a genealogical think tank should perform: the transcendent to the extraordinary, and the present to the present." Pedro drew his sword from his waist and looked at it, "Even this most basic function, the Iberian think tank has not been able to accomplish it; If think tanks are unable to perform their basic functions, then co-governance will inevitably become the rule of man, and the rule of man will inevitably lead to extremes; As you can see, in recent years, in order to make up for the lack of military spending, the so-called 'human rule group' in Iberia has made a big move to do business with the army, and the result is that the military is sparse and the military discipline is lax......"

"Moreover, the influx of energy from [the electronic channel] has led to severe inflation, and the competitiveness of local industries (such as thaumaturgical applied science, realism, etc.) has declined, and local industry and trade have not been fully developed. To make matters worse, Iberia has been involved in costly military conflicts since the beginning of the last century, including naval expansion campaigns against the Oretin Empire, the temptation of the Addisid Federation, and the counterattack of the Heirs.

These wars consumed enormous financial resources, and it took huge sums of money to maintain and build a large navy such as the Armada, especially after suffering losses. ”

"The Veil of Heaven has gradually failed on Terra, anomalies, distortors, thaumaturgists ......, these transcendent beings are exponentially exponential every year, and it is foreseeable that in the near future, even the Kingdom of Heaven will be forced to begin to change, abandon the rule of inaction, and begin to interfere with Terra in a full-scale way; And countries are constantly reforming, and you can look at the current Iberian ......"

Pedro slowly stood up, his glittering sword in his hand. The blade of the sword reflected a cold light in the dim light of the fire, just like his firm determination at the moment.

Qiang –

He stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground and looked into the old man's eyes.

"Domestic economic policies have failed to effectively deal with inflation and fiscal pressures, and dependence on the New World Corridor has weakened the momentum of domestic economic development; On the road of genealogy, it is forced to change to co-governance and implement centralized power, but individuals cannot cover all aspects and it is difficult to manage effectively, which leads to low management efficiency and decision-making errors; The naval supremacy of the Armada is repeatedly challenged by other nations, and the emerging maritime powers are using new technologies to expand their influence and are eyeing us with great ambitions. ”

"In such a situation, how can Iberia not seek change!"

"I'll find the truth I'm looking for on the icefield, the truth about the passage, and then I'll prove Juan Martínez the old boy wrong!"

Pedro's voice was passionate and determined.

There is an irrepressible fire burning in his eyes, which is a desire for the future and an insistence on change.

The sword in his hand sank deeper and deeper, as if he had carved his oath on the ice.

Eventually, when Pedro's words stopped, he raised his head and met Diego Flores' gaze.

Those passionate eyes seemed to set everything on fire, and his eyes were firm and fiery, as if to tell the old man that his determination would not waver.

The old man looked at the young man quietly, and a trace of complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

Looking at this young man full of blood, his lips rose slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was speechless.

At this moment, Diego Flores seems to see his younger self, his dedication to his ideals and his infinite vision for the future.

At the same time, he seems to be seeing the results.

In this cold and endless ice field, burning is meaningless, and a cavity of hot blood spurts out, which cools faster than a pile of cow dung, and is not as practical as the latter.

But burning is their destiny, they are the burning generation.

Silence returned to this small nest of ice, the flames leaping silently between the two, while the long sword in the young man's hand was still deeply embedded in the ice, as if a symbol of his firm faith, but also a symbol of his inevitable sorrow.

Soon, the fragments of memory shattered again.

The fourth sword-bearer in the kingdom of heaven is like a witness to the memory of the life of a young man named Pedro.

************

Fragments of memory crack, and freeze quickly.

On the cold ice field, a huge ship is suspended in the air, and its huge shadow is cast on the ice, forming a spectacular picture.

The ship's design is edgy and sci-fi, with a reflective silver-gray exterior and a mirror-smooth surface that contrasts with the surrounding snow and ice, however, the real wonder of the ship is not in its appearance, but in that special space indicated by where it hovers – a phase space hidden deep in the ice field.

Inside this space, a completely different world is revealed, a fairyland-like spring garden.

Once you cross the boundaries of phase space, the scene changes dramatically.

It's no longer a cold ice field, but a beautiful spring scene. The lush meadows glow green in the warm sun, and the colorful flowers bloom and exude bursts of fragrance. The brook flows through delicate water lilies and is surrounded by dancing willow trees, their branches gently swaying as if to send the warmest greetings to visitors.

In this wonderland, time seems to be frozen and there is an atmosphere of tranquility and peace all around.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming dappled spots of light that shine on this magical land, and you can feel the vitality and vitality of nature with every breath.

Smack-

Pedro's feet were on the muddy ground, his brown eyes looking around warily, his thaumaturgical handcuff in his left hand and his sword at his waist in his right.

His consciousness was quickly edited on the genealogy mailbox.

Subject: Request for a risk assessment of the race of reality alterations and anomalous phenomena caused by the remnants of the Kingdom of Heaven.

From: Pedro Iberia.

Attn: Iberian Academy of Sciences.

Message Body:

Dear colleagues,

Before planning a formal investigation into the containment of the Kingdom of Heaven in Iberia, I must point out some disturbing phenomena observed during the two previous expeditions.

We have discovered the horrific distortion effect of anomalous social organisms within containment procedures, with severe reality distortions occurring within their habitats, not only limited to the physical environment, but even extending to the inherent nature of some things, causing them to be radically tampered with.

It is worth noting that during both explorations, despite the obvious signs of reality bending, the distortion values displayed by the probe remained within the normal range at all times.

Even when demonstrated in front of the biological population with an apparently modified anomalous firearm, the distortion value increased by only 2%, which is far from what we expected from the standard anomalous response.

Based on existing heteroscientific theories, this phenomenon is difficult to explain, so I suspect that this biological population may be involved in the type of anomalous effect that we don't yet understand.

In view of this, I recommend that the risk assessment level for the risk of this population be increased and that stricter safety measures be taken in follow-up actions.

For further analysis and discussion, I have attached a detailed record of the two explorations in the annex. Colleagues are requested to carefully study this information and put forward corresponding suggestions and measures.

Waiting for a reply,

Pedro Iberia.

Attachment: Special Biological Population Exploration Report (1) & Special Biological Population Exploration Report (2)

Additional note: The report details key information such as descriptions of the environment inside the habitat of the particular population, specific manifestations of reality distortion, measurement of distortion values, and behavioral patterns of the particular population.

————————————

It is clear that Pedro has inadvertently come into contact with [Migualset] who is wrapped in Heaven [Angel of Peace].

At this moment, walking in the "world within the wall" wrapped in the angel of peace, Pedro can clearly perceive that his cognition is being fooled by an inexplicable force all the time, which is trying to reshape his three views.

In this regard, he can only use the ability of [Elige] to force and stabilize his three views.

As the seventy-two pillars of Solomon, [Elig] can influence the will of the warriors and the outcome of the war, and can make the superiors who originally contradict their own opinions (or cannot get along) transform into their own companions, which is the demon god who affects the interpersonal relationship between others and himself.

And the specific name of this authority of his is "Thought Seal".

The "Thought Seal" that was originally used for forced brainwashing was used to combat the cognitive pollution of the [Comfort Angel Project], which undoubtedly seemed to be a very delicate matter.

"Sure enough, I can't send it, it's too closed here."

Pedro, who had stabilized his perception through the "Thought Seal", looked at the email that could not be sent, and was a little distressed.

Poof-

While Pedro was secretly complaining, the unexpected happened suddenly.

In the dirt beneath Pedro's feet, a strange wave of water suddenly erupted on the surface of the earth, as if something was about to break through the ground.

Immediately after, a translucent strip-shaped creature about 1.5 meters long suddenly burst out of the ground and swooped down on him at an alarming speed.

The creature's body seemed to be made of water, transparent and shimmering, but with a threat that could not be underestimated.

Pedro's reaction was extremely swift, and the hunter's instinct was activated in an instant.

Just as the translucent creature was about to touch him, he quickly raised his handcuff and pulled the trigger without hesitation after aiming.

Bump –

A bullet struck the transparent creature's body with unmistakable accuracy, making a slight popping sound.

The moment it was hit by a bullet, the creature's body shook violently, as if it had received a huge impact.

Then, its body twisted in the air, losing the momentum to attack, and was forcibly pushed back into the ground by the force of the bullet.

The dirt then closed as if nothing had happened, leaving only a tiny disturbance on the young man's face.

Pedro stood still, the muzzle of his gun still emitting a faint green smoke.

"This is the first time, I said it, as long as you are willing to negotiate, you can say anything."

Pedro blew the smoky handcuff and spoke in a sincere tone to the land ahead.

Rustle Rustle –

The sunlight filtered through the dense foliage and dappled down on him, adding a bit of vivid color to this tranquil environment.

Then, a snake-like head cowered out, and the transparent body of the other party was so unreal in the sunlight.

“……%￥*（@”

Words of unknown meaning came out of the other person's mouth, and Pedro saw this and patted his forehead.

"I don't bring a universal language script, but it doesn't matter, I have a thought seal, just put the language seal into the other party's head."

Before that, though, he had to gain the trust of the other party.

Pedro looked ahead at his creature with watery eyes, unsheathed his saber at his waist and threw it and the handcuff in his hand to the ground.

Showing that he is not hostile, he summons his avatar [Elig].

When Elig appeared, the transparent creature was visibly startled, and the ground on its ground softened again.

Seeing this, Pedro hurriedly danced and gestured, and the creature that was about to be scared away hesitated for a moment.

Looking at the anxious gesture of the erect creature in front of him, and the sincerity shown by the other party, he finally chose to stay.

And seeing the other party stay, Pedro was obviously relieved.

"Wait a minute, I'll integrate the language pack for you, and I'll put the voice pack into your mind with a steel seal later."

As he spoke, he danced and gestured.

The transparent creature nodded timidly.

Soon, [Elig] lifted the "Thought Steel Seal: Integrated Language Pack" and threw it directly into the mind of the creature in front of him.

And so, in a world wrapped in angels of peace.

Bright sunlight shines into the dark forests of civilization.

The first conversation between the individuals and the individuals between civilizations was established here.

"Mud ...... Howl? ”

"Hello!"

The stitches will be removed the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if I want to continue to extract the teeth, I hope it will not affect the completion of this month.
