In the evening, in the twilight, the recruits returned to rock city. These rookies finally completed the first and most important test of their career. Although there were casualties among the recruits, and more were injured, there were happy smiles on the faces blackened by the war. That night, zero fulfilled his promise, each recruit received his due reward, and the families of the war dead received a pension enough to satisfy them.
Only after spending this part of the reward, the zero Treasury is obviously much less than before, which makes Leah, who helps manage the finance, complain. The girl's implication is attributed to her extravagance in pocket money. Zero doesn't care about this. In terms of money, there is cooperation between ISTA and the dark brotherhood, and wealth will only flow in the future.
Moreover, the garrison of rock city is not based on his own system, but collected from local residents. Naturally, they have to buy their loyalty with money first. Although this is vulgar, it is undeniable that the power of gold coins is great. They are enough to make people forget their original position. Of course, this is the word function of Paul's previous oracle.
Otherwise, money alone is not so easy to impress them.
Generally speaking, today is a happy day for the people of rock city. Even yafeidi, who was in the room, could feel the cheerful atmosphere in the streets. Yafeidi was not infected by the atmosphere outside. His mood was very complicated. Not only for another big defeat in the papal hall today, but also for the strange phenomenon that has been uneasy since the afternoon.
Something seems to have happened. Yafeidi thought, and it's a bad thing. He was filled again in his heart.
Then Mina opened the door. After days of recuperation, her injury has generally recovered and her mental state is good, that is, she looks thinner than when she was in Rome. She smiled at yafeidi and said, "you can eat."
During dinner, yafeidi said to his wife, "your injury is almost healed. I think we can leave in two days. I have prepared supplies and supplies these days, and bought a new car, which is enough for us to go anywhere."
Mina took a bite of bread, but she didn't show it.
"What's the matter?" Sophie asked softly.
Mina looked up with a beautiful smile and said, "yafeidi, let go."
"What?" yaphidi frowned.
"Your stage should not be at home, but on the battlefield, isn't it? In fact, you also want to fight, especially the Pope's hall, which makes you very disappointed now?" Mina nodded: "in this case, you can work with them and overthrow the decadent Pope's hall."
"Mina, I don't think so."
"Come on." Mina smiled and pointed to herself. "I'm your wife. If I don't even know what my husband is thinking, my wife is too unqualified."
"So no matter what you decide, I will stick to you."
"So are we!"
The three children also raised their hands and shouted.
Yafeidi patted their hands and said, "eat quickly. It's nothing for you."
He also said to Mina, "well, I admit that Solon's practice makes me feel cold. I also want to fight with them in the Muslim emperor's hall and ask him in person if it is necessary for him to be so heartless. But Mina, now for me, you are the most important. More important than everything!"
Mina shook her head helplessly, but said with a smile, "I'm glad you can say that. Really..."
At this time, the knock on the door sounded untimely. Yaphidi frowned and left his seat. He opened the door. Outside the door was a man who wrapped himself in a cloak, covered his face and showed only a pair of eyes familiar to yafidi.
He quickly pulled down the cloth covering his face, revealing a face that should never appear here.
"Huodu?" yafeidi shook slightly and lost his voice: "Why are you here?"
The man in front of him is the confidant of Sinie. If he appears here, it can only explain two situations. First, Sinai also came to the rock city. Second, something happened to Sinai. Whatever the possibility, it is not a good thing in the current situation.
Huo Du smiled bitterly: "Lord yafeidi, I haven't seen you for many days. I'm glad to see you. Although I want to talk to you for a long time, the current conditions don't allow. I can only make a long story short..."
He took out an envelope from his cloak and stuffed it into yafeidi's hand. "Lord Sinai has had an accident. As for the reason, it's all in this letter. Yafeidi will understand it after reading it."
"What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?" yaphidi asked.
Huo Du pointed to the envelope, then pulled on the cloth to cover most of his face and left in a hurry. Yafeidi watched him turn into an alley across the street. In the twinkling of an eye, he had melted into the night. He had to close the door and walk back. Hearing his heavy footsteps, Mina asked softly, "what's the matter?"
Yafeidi said: "just now huodu came. He brought me a letter and said that something had happened to Sinie."
"What? Lord Sinai, he also..."
Yafeidi gently covered her mouth and said, "you and the children have dinner first. I'll go to the living room and see what Sinai's letter says."
Mina nodded cleverly, didn't ask again, and walked back to the table. Yafidi came to the living room and tore the seal. Inside was a letter and a storage chip. He opened the letter first. It was a font familiar to yafidi. The handwriting of Sinie's hand is always elegant with a trace of melancholy, which is always revealed in a curve of a certain letter.
This feeling can't be forged even if you want to forge it.
Sinai wrote in his letter:
Seeing your letters is like seeing you in person.
My friend, when you see this letter, I may be dead. Please don't be sad about my departure. On the contrary, you should be happy for me. I can finally get rid of this miserable life and keep my promise to sari. If there is heaven, she will wait for me in heaven. In this way, what can be sad.
To make a long story short, I found something in the papal hall, Sauron's palace. I've recorded it and asked huodu to bring it to you. As for whether or not to make it public, let you deal with it yourself.
I was tired. I was already tired when Sari left me. If I hadn't promised Sari's promise, I would have followed her. Fortunately, I have your company in this day when I can't see the slightest hope. But now, it's time for me to leave.
That silver haired man will realize my long cherished wish for many years!
The signature is Sinai's name.
Yafeidi's hand was shaking gently. He knew what Sinai's long cherished wish was. In a word, Sinai, like him, is a person who attaches great importance to family. However, he was more unfortunate than yafeidi. When his young wife Sari was in the prime of her life, she gave up and left because of genetic diseases, and even didn't have time to leave children for Sinie. The only commemoration is the ring that Sinai wore on his tail finger, which witnessed the faithful love between him and his wife.
If Sari hadn't let Sinai promise her that she would try her best to live at any time, Sinai would have left with her long ago. Over the years, Sinie has been longing for the way to die on the premise of abiding by the agreement with sari.
That is his long cherished wish.
But Sinie is a high-level capable person or an extremely rare creator. Few people can kill him. If the so-called silver haired man in his letter has the power to kill him, his strength is zero, even above him.
Yafeidi has fought against zero. He knows where the level of zero is. This time, he keenly felt that zero had made great progress. Even if Solon is against zero, yafeidi is not optimistic. It can be seen that zero has been very powerful. So, who will be this man who is side by side with zero and even stronger than him?
Yafeidi's eyes fell on the storage chip and thought or the answer could only be found from it.
In the city hall office, zero sum, Leah, mamillo and others are holding a meeting. The content of the meeting is the next work arrangement. According to the news received by zero, Paul will arrive in two days and meet them in the city of rock. Then the next day, I set out with Isabel to the headquarters of the dark brotherhood.
Isabel has applied to the seven member committee for a meeting for zero and Paul. The application has been passed and the top leader Gori has given the place and time of the meeting. At that time, zero will go with Paul. But in order to keep it a secret, he won't take too many people away. The only people who go together are Cinderella and Mr. X.
The meeting place was on an island surrounded by water. In case of emergency, hindrella's water system capacity will be brought into full play. Mr. X is not interested in his combat power, but out of consideration of seniority. After all, he was the first head of the order of the holy seal and had heard of the dark brotherhood. With him moving forward, we can supplement zero's lack of knowledge in the western continent.
As for others, they stayed in the rock city, and mamiro strengthened the training of recruits and trained a group of mecha drivers. Froman and the Trident form the backbone of the rock city, and the last high-level garrison is well-educated and those with other abilities such as night Ryu.
It can be said that in addition to the insufficient number of ordinary soldiers, the strength of rock city is enough to challenge the papal hall.
Now, zero has become one of the important figures in the mainland. Hearing that he only took Cinderella and Mr. X with him, everyone else felt uneasy, but zero had decided, and the sudden departure of a large number of high-ranking officials would indeed attract the attention of the papal hall, so other people no longer refuted.
During the meeting, a soldier trotted in and whispered in his ear, "Sir, Mr. yafidi, please see me."
"It's him?" zero was surprised.
Fortunately, the matter has been explained almost. Zero asked others to stay and continue to refine his work after he left. He went to the reception room to meet yafeidi.
In the reception room, he pushed the door and entered. He saw yafeidi pacing. Liu Qing on his face was very anxious. As soon as zero came in, he said, "there is a very important video for you to see."
"What video?" while talking, zero let the soldiers out and closed the door. Don't let anyone disturb him until he comes out. Then I sat down with yafeidi. The latter handed him a smart brain, on which a video window has been opened and can be played at any time.
Yafeidi said: "this is the information sent to me by my friend and head of the Fourth Army of the Knights. Sinai may have had an accident, and it is this video that cost him his life."
Zero listened and put on a dignified expression. The importance of things that can make a military commander sacrifice his life and have to be handed over to yafeidi cannot be overstated. He immediately clicked to play. At the beginning of the video, there was a square with solemn and gorgeous buildings in front of the square. Yafeidi explained: "this is the papal hall in Rome, and it is also the highest authority."
The video continues and the photographer enters the papal hall. Then came to a spacious hall, and then zero saw Sauron. After an impassioned speech to the next ten officers, Sauron asked them to leave. According to Solon's words, he is as good as he guessed before zero, and has the method to make the capable people advanced.
Then these officers entered a palace like building. Yafidi timely pointed out that this was Sauron's palace and his usual place to rest and work. But the photographer did not enter the palace, but quietly withdrew, passed through several complex corridors, and then came to the back of the palace. At this time, the picture pauses for a moment, then the lens begins to rise, and then probes into the gap in the window. It seems that the photographer should have used equipment such as micro cameras.
In the picture, a tall man in a black windbreaker appears impressively. He turned his back to the camera and showed his symmetrical and perfect body. The long silver hair was spreading out, holding the officers who had entered the palace like tentacles, and transmitting some kind of energy to these officers.
When he had finished some work, the man let go of the officer and stood still. Until a moment, he suddenly looked back, so he saw a face very similar to himself and the golden left eye like gold!
This concludes the video.
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched his right eye.
He knows who the silver haired man is.
That's Gaia, the dark knight of Proteus. Zero comes from him. The super life created by agradis was originally intended to be used as a body to carry the will of the planet. But Gaia had his own consciousness, and agradis could only seal him up. I didn't expect that in this era, it was discovered by procius and turned into his own knight.
Zero knew he would meet Gaia sooner or later, because Proteus wanted to find himself and kill him through him. Unexpectedly, Gaia was on the western continent and was still in Sauron's palace. Agradis once said that prochus obscured his perception of Gaia, so agradis didn't mention this when he borrowed the brain of andura bug to temporarily descend his will.
Otherwise, with the danger of the Black Knight, agradis will remind him no matter what.
Now, everything seems to happen too fast. When zero was not ready, Gaia suddenly appeared.
Yafeidi said at this time: "how could this happen? Zero, why are you and this man..."
No wonder yafeidi is so confused. After all, the man is very similar to zero. Whether it's face or golden pupils left and right. They are just like the pros and cons of a mirror. People can't help guessing their relationship.
"It's a long story. In short, this guy should be regarded as the enemy of my destiny. I know I'll meet and fight with him sooner or later. But I didn't expect to bump into him in the western continent." zero Shen said in a voice: "if it's him, I'm sorry, Captain Sinie may not have a chance to survive."
Yafeidi's face darkened. It was obvious that zero was very familiar with the man. If even he said so, then Sinie was basically dead.
"However, there must be another meaning for Colonel Sinie to risk his life to send this information to you?" zero asked.
"Yes, once this video is released, it will cause a great blow to Sauron's reputation. Sinai should also know this, because no matter how we fight for power, it is an internal struggle after all. But if others know that Sauron has borrowed external force, he has stepped on the bottom line that many people can tolerate." yafeidi said with a bitter smile: "Sinie wants me to choose whether to publish this information to speed up the destruction of Solon or destroy it so that you can't break Rome so easily."
"But you showed him to me..."
Yafeidi nodded, and a decisive color flashed in her eyes: "because I can't tolerate what Sauron did any more!"
"I see..." zero said, "Pope Paul will arrive in the rock city in two days. You can give him this information at that time. I think he is more suitable than anyone to deal with this information, don't you think?"
Yafeidi thought for a moment and said, "that's true."
Two days later, Pope Paul arrived in the rock city as scheduled. His arrival undoubtedly gave a strong shot to the residents in the city. Paul's appearance, to some extent, explained the "legitimacy" of the zero class and covered them with a layer called "divine envoy" At the same time, Sauron was forced to the other end of the opposition to the gods. If Sauron hadn't held a heavy army, he might have been blamed by the religious trial.
The city of rock is now the focus of the whole continent. Paul's public appearance and the legitimate transformation of the invaders are full of too many messages. More importantly, on the same day that Paul arrived in Rock City, Joseph and mendeliza issued a statement at the same time, saying that the family would support Pope Paul without hesitation, which is undoubtedly another heavy bomb.
That night, yafeidi met Paul secretly under the arrangement of zero. Three days later, a video quietly spread in the city of Rome. In the video, when the papal hall, the Solon palace and the mysterious man were connected, there was a rumor that Solon united with outsiders forced the officers of the Knights. After all, in that video, the behavior of the silver haired man had nothing to do with the word friendship.
For a time, the voice of opposition to Solon's ruling set off in Rome. After this incident, it is not difficult to see mendeliza and other giants behind the scenes.
