In the office, Zero's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Franklin lowered his head, as if to sort out his thoughts, and said after a moment: "As I said just now, the will of the planet is the will above all life, and we can't fathom what it is thinking, because we are not at the same level, but I have been in contact with Agradis for a long time. The arrival of Prosius, in particular, forced him to work with us, thus giving us the opportunity to touch him and speculate on his thoughts. ”

"For example, if the planet is a giant and Agradis is the soul of a giant, then we are parasites or bacteria in him. Of course, we are the beings he created intentionally, but once this life is out of his control, you can imagine what he will do with us. There were four civilizations before you, and our Atlantis was an era when civilization on the planet reached its greatest height. Our city is suspended above the sky, and it reigns over the whole land. Our energy conversion platform is erected on the sea, through which we can get pure energy, but our more important technology lies in the use of light energy......" Franklin showed a look of remembrance, opened his arms and said: "Solar energy, starlight, cosmic rays and other visible light are within our scope of use. Because with this jishu, we have touched the shijie of God, or the origin of shijie. Our fleet has long since begun the exploration of outer space, and the galaxy simply cannot restrain our pace, without Prosius. Maybe in another thousand years, we can develop colonized galaxies. And all this is a threat to Agradis. ”

"If it weren't for Prosius, or maybe we'd be facing just another disaster. Catastrophe ...... created by Agradis' own hands"

Zero had a pensive expression.

Franklin continued, "This kind of thing, our great planetary will is very skillful. After awakening in this era, I have used the intellectual brain array of the Pope's Room to download the minutes of civilization in your time, and in your Bible, there is no such thing as a flood destroying the world. As well as in the myths and legends of other countries, there are also many rumors of gods destroying shijie. Although these legends have been distorted or exaggerated, in our time, through our study of some ruins, there is clear evidence that a civilization will suffer natural destruction at its peak. We have reason to believe that this was all done by Agradis consciously, and that he did not allow the existence of a civilization in his body that threatened his own ......"

"At that time, we in Atlantis had conquered the sky, the earth, and the sea, and even the sea of stars could not stop us. What can be said is that the more we reach the top, the more we will only speed up the storm of destruction that Agladisus is about to set off. However, at this time, Prosius suddenly arrives and disrupts all the jihua of Agradis. Prosius is clearly a greater threat to this foreign enemy than we are, so he has to appear in front of us in the form of a descendant and choose to cooperate with us. But ......," Franklin stressed, "Agradis's cooperation was not entirely well-intentioned, and of course self-preservation was a huge part of it. What's bigger is that they want us to have a lose-lose fight with Prosius. Judging from the various abilities he showed later, he could have helped us resist Prosius in the early stages, and as long as we were exposed to the ability genes of your time, then we would definitely not have fought so badly in the front. ”

When Franklin said this, there was anger in his eyes: "In the early stages of Prosious's appearance, we were basically risking our lives to make up for the damage caused by its energy bugs. It wasn't until we were badly damaged that Agladisus began to create combat weapons known as gods, as well as super-life Gaia. ”

"God...... Gaia ...... "Zero repeated these two words in his mouth, he was no stranger to the battle weapon called God, after all, in his right eye he used an organ transplanted from God. Of course, human speculation is that the gods were created by Atlantis. But the truth is that it turned out to be a weapon made by Agladisus himself.

As for Gaia, he is no stranger to it, because the cells in his body come from this super life of the Quaternary.

"The weapon of the gods, a weapon created with the concept of perfect attack power, his liliang can be said to have reached the limit of what the entire shijie can hold. But even so, he is still a weapon within the planet, and he can't destroy the planetary will like Prosius at all. That's why Agradis created Gaia, whose ultimate goal is a perfect life that transcends the will of the planet, and he has the possibility of infinite evolution. However, when he created it, he didn't even have a chance to use it, so he sealed it up for Agradis himself. Franklin sneered, "Because he found that Gaia had an independent will, and not acted exactly according to his commands like a god." For Agradis, there was no more dangerous thing to have an independent will and to be able to surpass his life. ”

However, these were not made by Agradis with good intentions. Whether it's a god or Gaia, it's actually just a second shell that Agradis has rebuilt for himself!"

Franklin was astonished, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but jump up from his chair with zero composure. Zero walked back and forth, and finally stopped and said coldly: "He plans to abandon this planet, abandon us, the beings he created?"

"That's right, the arrival of Prosius gave him hope. As a planet-level superwill, he didn't want to be bound to the prison of Earth forever. He wanted to break out of prison and escape his 'destiny'. Prosius used himself as proof that it was entirely doable. However, he also saw that after the absence of a shell, the desire to lose its restraint would cause the will of the planet to lose itself and become a monster like Prosius. That form wasn't what Agradis wanted, he wanted to keep his will and be free from the constraints of the planet, so a shell that could perfectly hold him was the obvious choice. ”

God and Gaia were actually created based on this idea, but both had their own flaws, which led Agradis to give up. Later, after the battle of Prossius, he himself was greatly injured, so he stopped all jihua, so there is your current Fifth Age. Franklin smiled wryly, "We can't imagine that when Agradis leaves, will the planet be able to function as usual? Maybe like a machine that crashes and eventually causes the hardware to break down? ”

"In this case, the best position is for Prosius to contain Agradis, but it is a dangerous balance that can be upset by both sides in an instant, leading to ultimate destruction. Zero shook his head and said, "This is obviously not a good idea, and compared to Agradis, Prosius, who is not negotiable at all, is more dangerous." At least as long as it exists on this planet, Agradis will have to choose to cooperate with us, or he will be destroyed. ”

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Continue to work with Agradis with the ultimate goal of annihilating Prosius. If we have the ability to annihilate Prosius by Zuihou, then Agradis will also be afraid of us, and it will be much easier to fight and make peace. And before that, we didn't benefit at all from turning against him. Zero replied immediately.

Franklin nodded and said, "This is indeed the only way to do it at the moment, and I can assure you." I only hope to save my own people, as for the revival of Atlantis......"

The giant smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't have this idea, but this idea is unrealistic." Now, it's not our time......"

A sentence of emotion is full of endless sentimentality.

It was getting dark, and Zero and Franklin left the office and went back to their lodgings to rest. Zero's house was the mayor's original mansion, but the mayor of Cage City simply kept everything in the mansion, including the servants, as it was, but he moved out with his family and lived in an ordinary house in the city. Because of this, he was treated well and became Franklin's assistant.

When Zero returns to the mayor's mansion, he is served to take a bath and change clothes, and when he arrives in the bedroom, Leah and Cinderella are waiting for him. The three of them reunited after a long absence, and because they were rushing to the secret meeting with Paul, Zero had no time left for these two women at all. Now that I come back, I will naturally have a lot of rain and a lingering death. Leah was overwhelmed and fell asleep early.

After covering her with a quilt, Zero and Cinderella continue to fight back-to-back. Both of them are high-level, although Cinderella is one order lower in the rank, but the gap in Liliang is perfectly made up for by her with Jishu. Cinderella's physical strength and tenacity are very amazing, and there is an amazing explosive power in that body, and even Zero killed her several times to the point that she lost her armor and almost had to disarm and surrender.

Fortunately, Zero controlled her rhythm at every critical moment, and finally seized the opportunity to break through Cinderella's defenses in one fell swoop, sending her to the cloud of bliss, while also spraying the fiery life essence into her body, making her both excited and happy, hugging Zero like an octopus while falling into a deep sleep.

Zero put down the second daughter and was in a happy mood. It's just that when I think of Agladis, my heart is inevitably heavy. Leah, who had woken up the sound of the battle between the two, noticed this carefully, and leaned close to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You haven't slept yet?" said Zero.

Leah blushed and said, "You guys are so intense, how can I sleep." ”

Zero reached out and brushed the red pill across her chest, making Leah's whole body as soft as an electric current. Zero whispered in her ear, "If you're not enough, we'll get on with it." ”

Leah lost her voice and said, "You still have the stamina?"

Zero patted Cinderella's buttocks and said, "It's not that easy to drain me now." ”

Leah hurriedly said, "No, no, I don't have Cinderella's physical strength, and now I'm exhausted." ”

Zero laughed and let her go. Leah asked again, and Zero smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that there seems to be one more enemy." ”

What he didn't say was that it was a terrible enemy too.

Early in the morning, Zero woke up early, and the second daughter was still asleep. It seems that last night's reunion battle had exhausted their strength, and even Cinderira's was still the same, and Leah was even more unbearable. Zero didn't intend to wake them up, and went to boot camp by himself. This was originally the place where the Pope's Hall was scattered around to train recruits, but now it is naturally requisitioned by the Poseidon Order.

On the training ground, the members of the Trident are training. It can be seen that the Zogs have fully integrated into the group, they are dressed in uniform black and silver tactical uniforms, and each has four or five war spears stuck inverted at their feet. At Su's command, the Zog man picked up the spear in unison, injected energy, and threw it over. The spear crossed the field of 300 meters and hit the bull's-eye, followed by a bang that was no less powerful than a high-explosive grenade.

Zero nodded secretly, and the biggest advantage of the Zog man was the neat movements. It is conceivable that when the target is confronted with their concentrated fire attack, unless it is a high-level defensive master, other types of abilities can only avoid it first. Even Zero himself, before the Well of Divine Cry, would be very painful to face a concentrated attack with a number of high-explosive grenades below the plural without activating the steel skin.

Su seems to be adjusting the tactics of the Trident, from letting them play freely before, to now using the easiest way to use their liliang, and at the same time giving full play to the tactics of numerical superiority, it can be seen that this force has finally made great progress. In fact, in order to take advantage of the strength of the capable forces, it is necessary to use a unified method of concentrated fire attack as it is currently doing to maximize the destructive power.

While watching the Trident training with his arms on his chest, Franklin came to him and reported: "There is an envoy from the Ishtar side, who should bring a message from Pope Paul and return the balance of the remaining 30,000 gold coins from the last transaction." ”

Zero nodded and returned to the town hall with him.

In the office, the old mayor Alec received a man in his forties. The man is small, with gray eyes, a mustache, and the word "treacherous" written on his face, which is typical of the image of a profiteer. He wore a turquoise gemstone ring on his tail finger, which he turned from time to time as he spoke to Alex. Every time I turned, my eyes were always rolling, showing that I had something in mind.

When Zero and Franklin came in, the man pretended to be clever and saluted Franklin, "It's an honor to meet you, respected leader of the Poseidon Order, Lord Zero. ”

Franklin said with a calm face, "You are mistaken, this is our leader." ”

When Zero came out, the expression on the man's face was wonderful. There is shame, but more of an accident, obviously Zero's youth and handsomeness are completely far from the rumored image of the invincible leader of the Poseidon Order. Alex then rounded up and said, "My lord, this is Mr. Stone, the representative sent by Ishta. Mr. Stone brought a handwritten letter from Miss Oran, and our future cooperation with Ishtar could be carried out through Mr. Stone. ”

Zero nodded, which was not unexpected. After all, Oran is one of the Big Three, and he really can't do everything himself. Unless something important, she could have let the people under her do it for her, and this Stone probably has a good ability, otherwise he can't take on this heavy responsibility.

After the guest and host sat down, Zero said directly: "Mr. Stone has come from afar, and I heard that he brought a message from His Royal Highness the Pope?"

Stone straightened his clothes and said, "Yes, His Holiness the Pope made a public speech yesterday in the city of New Rome, stating that the island of Navto would be sent by God in the near future, and His Highness hopes that the agreement made with him will be fulfilled on the part of Lord Zero. ”

"Rest assured by His Highness Paul, Nafto Island will disappear from the Papal Chamber's territory in three days' time. But with all due respect, who are the people on that island?"

"Naftor Island is home to the Sauron Private Army, an army independent of the Knightly system. Because it is a military powerhouse, there are no ordinary people on the island, and they are all characters under the Sauron system. Stone said truthfully.

"In that case, I'm relieved. After all, if too many civilians are involved, it will also be very detrimental to the reputation of His Highness the Pope. If it was just Sauron's army, it would have weakened his Liliang at will. ”

His Highness Paul said the same. Stonedui said with a smile: "Since the word of mouth has arrived, then I will take my leave first, and Mr. Alec will also introduce me to the industries and products of Cage City, so that you and I can cooperate more smoothly in the future." ”

"That's fine, I'll let Mr. Alec entertain you well. Zero said.

Stone thanked him repeatedly, and when he was about to get up to leave, Zero suddenly said, "There is one more thing, Mr. Stone, you still have the balance of 30,000 gold coins that have not been paid to us." I don't know, when the money will be delivered. ”

Stone laughed and said, "Lord Zero doesn't seem to know much about some of the details of the transaction between us. I have worked hard for you and me to travel all over the world, and the hard work is really inhumane. I think it's understandable that Zero-sama will be sympathetic to me, so it's probably understandable that he will allocate a part of the transaction to me as a perk, right?"

Zero smiled: "Mr. Stone's appetite is not too big, so let's do it, you can deliver 30,000 gold coins to us." I will allocate 3,000 gold coins from my private account as your allowance, and I will give you this amount for every transaction in the future, what do you think?"

Stone Haha smiled and said: "Which time did you and I not involve millions of transactions, this thirty percent of the hard work, I don't ask myself, Master Zero has pressed so much at once, I think it's a bit excessive." ”

"Excessive?" Zero glanced at Franklin.

When the latter stood behind Stone, shrouded in the shadow of the giant, Stone couldn't help but tremble in his legs.

Zero sneered: "Stone, I don't care who you are, don't make up your mind on my head." The deal between me and Orlan doesn't allow anyone like you to get in the way. Originally, you were given 3,000 gold coins to avoid some unnecessary trouble. Since you don't accept my affection, then don't blame me for being unkind. I'll ask you to stay in our cell for a few days, and I'll hear what Orlan has to say about it!"

"You can't do that to me, I'm Ishtar's representative. You're kind to me, and I don't want to cooperate in the future. ”

"It's not your turn to cooperate with Ista as a villain, not to mention that His Highness Paul has asked me now. Stone, I think you're miscalculated. Bring it down!"

With a wave of his hand, Franklindam picked Stone up like a chick and headed for the door. Stone shouted all the way, and when he reached the door, his voice stopped abruptly, and Franklin was the one who gave him some pain.

Zero smiled faintly, this era is rolling forward, and a villain like Stone who can't see the situation clearly will only become cannon fodder under the tide of the times!
