087 Astarte without a helmet has a chance to leave his own black history among his brothers
"Found other Midnight Lords?" As Saivita expected, after hearing the ins and outs of this "accident", Rika Fujimaru's first reaction was surprise, "This is needed...... No, is this something that should be brought to the table all at once? β
Well, her point wasn't that Sevita sneaked out of the Storm Border, or that he had snuck into Kylea's room and stole the relic's necklace, but that she had been directed straight to the events themselves. This was to be expected by Sevita - Rika Fujimaru's logic was sometimes strange, but as long as she could understand this strange logic, she was actually very easy to guess.
Not to mention how much other people have done on this issue, at least for the commander of the Midnight Lord's company, who holds another Sevita record in the illusion, he understands it.
Incidentally, these records also provide some additional effects that Sevita didn't really want: Sigismund, who was standing on the side, didn't take off his helmet and didn't speak, just moved slightly behind his protector. But Sevita could tell from this little gesture that almost nothing was indicative: he was upset.
This made Sevita want to beat Ketera even more.
Because he was able to breathe like a breath to figure out his intentions, Saivita knew better at this time that Fujimaru Rika, the Midnight Lord Psychology Master, asked in turn, not wondering "why did you do this", but blamed the person in the air for "just doing it, but how to make the scene so ugly".
One notable difference between Rika Fujimaru and Conrad Coz when it comes to being the superior of the Midnight Lord is that her definition of "justice" is much more ambiguous. In this regard, her judging criteria tend to be skewed according to the outcome of one thing. Although this does not mean that she will not reprimand, hold accountable and punish the mistakes that occurred in the process at all, as long as the mistakes in the process of this matter do not really cross the thunder pool, and the result is good enough, the party who stabbed Lou Zi will often be gently put down.
Provided, of course, that this is not discovered by Sigismund.
The difference in how the superior handles things can also affect how the subordinates deal with the situation. For example, if the person in charge of this group of Midnight Lords is their true genetic father, then Sevita's first instinct must be to quickly close the lid and keep the whole thing from the original body knowing, and it is even more fantastic to do something else and come to Koz to ask for the power of his superiors - after all, the Night King would really peel the wrong person and hang it on the bridge to dry.
But Fujimaru Rika won't, so after a short hesitation, Saivita still showed the whole picture of the whole problem to the other party according to the experience left by himself in the illusion. It turned out to him that, at least for Rika Fujimaru, the experience in the illusion was common in reality: she didn't complain too much about the whole thing, and went straight to check the template of the official document that Sevita had brought, apparently thinking about how to clean up the mess.
"I have a lot of questions about Keteraro's specific motives, but I'll wait until this matter settles down." She took out a blank piece of parchment and began to transcribe and revise it in Gothic so that the specific expressions in the document could correspond to the current situation, "I think you'll have to find a way to make up for him in the area of emotional intelligence in the futureβwhy didn't he see that this matter shouldn't be put on the table?" β
The other side is sneaking in, and the outside is still talking about work. In this case, you've managed to incapacitate the other person without being detected, either by secretly throwing them back or by secretly locking them up - what happened when you threw people down the freight lane into the hall and crossed the road? This is a problem that can be easily solved by mutual tacit understanding, so why do you have to weigh it? Isn't she, the Chaldean CEO, doing enough to do in Baal?
"I'm sorry, ma'am." It's not much, but Sevita still has the emotional intelligence to look at the atmosphere - at least at this moment, in this "all in all, I should apologize first" atmosphere, he didn't choose those more frivolous titles in the title, "Although I don't know the actual situation for the time being, but from what I know about Marshall Ketelaro, I think there must be some external factors that drove him to do this." β
He said this without knowing the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, Sigismund, as a listener, exuded an atmosphere of disapproval. Realizing this, Sevita simply changed his mind and said the possibility that should be closer to the truth in his guesses: "Of course, it could also be that he suddenly made a little 'whimsy'. I can't say for sure. β
Unfortunately, perhaps due to the subject's full body armor, his cold reading skills were not very good on Sigismund. The Black Knight did disagree with his statement, but it wasn't what Sevita thought he was: "You didn't even succeed in getting the full picture of the matter before you came to report and ask for a 'solution'? β
Sevita raised a frown under his helmet - if he was talking about it, then he would be in the spirits: "If someone gets into trouble, then it's important to report the 'order' of the matter to your superiors, you are only a stone-headed diplomatic accident." β
"These problems that don't directly help solve things will be entangled in the review later. What is it like to quarrel on someone else's land? If you have that spare time, you might as well make up a reason for me to arrest someone. Rika Fujimaru interjected in time, preventing another verbal feud between the two men that could escalate into a brawl at any time. By the way, after Sevita gradually mastered the basic use of psionic energy by taking lessons with Kylea, the scope of the battle between the two men became more and more widespread. Considering that a long-lost reunion is taking place in the main hall of the church next door to the chapel (?). Father's kindness and son's filial piety (?) Accidents like this really shouldn't happen here and now.
Worst possibility: What if the high-level of the Holy Blood Angel Wargroup next door gets angry and shows everyone a minute of black anger?
But Sevita perked up when she heard this: "So we can get that unlucky guy back?" β
"Or else? You're all knocked out, why don't you catch them? Do you send a fruit basket to apologize after the gift is sent abroad? Fujimaru Rika said angrily.
Truth be told, if she had done such a stupid thing in the time when she had only represented herself, of course it would have been dealt with. But now, her situation in the Empire as the spokesperson of the Chaldea Bureau is completely different: if they apologize first, wouldn't the title of Imperial Sage be smashed in her hands? Where should the authority of the Chaldean Bureau, as the direct organization of the Star Torch Hall, be placed? Can you, a judge, investigate this confidential item without saying hello? Even if she is trying to save face for the sake of her political image, Rika Fujimaru has to ask someone to arrest this unlucky guy with a black shield and bring it back for trial.
"Anyway, now, immediately, contact Keteraro and ask him to bring the man back to the Storm Frontier and go through the normal inspection and restriction procedures." After writing the payment and date, Rika Fujimaru printed it directly on the spot: the electronic seal seemed to come out of the air, and the other two people present were already surprised by it - the original seal was still in a room on the Imperial Dream, firmly locked in the safe, but if anyone wanted to verify the seal, they would find that the traces left on this document were also real.
Just as the Empire's genetic testing system can't actually tell the difference between one original and another, the Empire's electronic seal system can't tell the difference between the original seal and the traces of Fujimaru Rika's psionic projection. This is a somewhat regrettable security vulnerability, but fortunately, the only object that triggers this vulnerability is currently made of 100% Imperial Psionic energy, presided over by the Imperial Saint, witnessed by the Imperial Champion (the person concerned does not seem to approve of it, but does not say anything against it, so it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence), and there is no element of disloyalty.
"I guess Judge Hastings will also choose to make the big thing small, so the diplomatic pressure shouldn't be too much." Rika Fujimaru handed the freshly baked, at least bluffing document to Sevita, "Even if you take this with the legal principle of searching and arresting the other party, it's better to end the matter here - it means that if there is no problem with the review, if the inquisitor comes to ask for someone, and the person himself wants to go back to death watch, then you have to send the person back obediently, you know?" Sevita Leon? β
Sevita nodded, and took the parchment, which wasn't very large. Given that the paper could be reviewed and examined at any time, and that they apparently did not have a fire-lacquered wax seal at the moment, its contents were simply exposed and could be read by anyone. Therefore, after adjusting the relics and stealth state, and turning to leave, Sevita took a few more glances at the passage on the document describing the cause out of pure curiosity. Immediately afterwards, he found that Rika Fujimaru was obviously making up a perfunctory thing on this issue:
ββ¦β¦ Our department suspects that this person is related to an old case that is inconvenient to disclose, so we arrested him and examined him......"
Seeing this sentence that was obviously saying "I have a little secret that other inquisitors can't know, don't ask if you know each other", Sevita was a little skeptical that Rika Fujimaru had been led astray by the group of dark angels on the Lionmane.
ββ
Frankly, for at least two minutes, the head of Dante's war, who was dissatisfied with the status quo, did want to blame Fujimaru Rika for making such a rudimentary arrangement for this historic moment - even in the next second, his logic reminded him that even if Fujimaru Rika did say that, it couldn't really be her fault at all. Dante knew for himself that the emotions that were surging in his heart were entirely out of a desperate anger at the powerlessness of the status quo, and that they were "perverse" emotions that should be carefully restrained, and it took him two minutes to break free from them.
Barna's glorious archangel, the genetic father of the Angels of the Holy Blood, deserves all the best of grace, and if Dante had known this in advance, he would have been able to arrange at least a little more than one more day, so that the scene would not have looked as quiet and shabby as it is now.
Dante knew he didn't have much time to spare: it had happened too suddenly for the Angel of the Blood. Whether it's him, Mephiston, or even Cobro, who was found halfway, they have become too accustomed to the frustration of past experience. When Rika Fujimaru brought it up, no one thought that the ceremony would be successful the first time, and she spoke with such a flirtatious attitude that everyone outside of her mistakenly thought it was a rehearsal.
The Wargroup Leader thought that after today's end, he would have a chance to hold a warband meeting for this matter. If Mephiston can confirm that the ritual will work, then more detailed arrangements will be constructed in discussions among those who hold important positions in the warband. In Dante's experience, he knew that good things might be near, but good things were more likely to turn bad, and he didn't really feel about it until the "good thing" came smoothly into the church and smashed him in the face.
Will the original cast of the Space Marines faint due to the emotional ups and downs? Dante didn't know, but he was a little dizzy. He caught a glimpse of Kobro on his knees with tears in his eyes. It was a gaffe, but Dante did not feel that he was qualified to denounce it. His own senses were confused, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether the little blur in front of him was due to an error in the optics of the death mask, or if he was weeping over the glowing statue of St. Giles.
Mephistopheles wasn't in his current sight, and he couldn't take his eyes off the statue. There is no doubt that this colossus recreated by the children of the Holy Blood after the Great War is of great artistic value, and he has observed and examined it countless times on various occasions - but Dante has never felt it as if it was a sin to take his eyes off it.
The statue does not move. Both his common sense and his observation of the environment tell Dante the same thing. But he still had the feeling that the statue's head was not moving, but that St. Giles's soft gaze seemed to be looking down from the statue that stood above the sky under the dome of the main hall; The statue's wings didn't move, but there seemed to be a subtle sound in the air when the wings rubbed together; The statue's face did not move, but the gentle but mellow voice of the archangel mysteriously resounded in their ears and in their hearts at the same time:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my child." He said that there was an accent in the Gothic language that is alien to people today and came from 10,000 years ago, "and I am even more glad that all of you are still intact when we meet this time." β
Dante tried to say something in response, but when he opened his mouth, he only tasted the salty taste of his own tears.
