Chapter 921

Douglas is smoking.

He seldom smokes, but now there are at least a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him. The smoke rises, making the things in front of you seem unreal. Douglas was distracted, even in the conference room of asgat command.

On both sides of the long table in front of him, a dozen senior asgat military officials were arguing loudly. On the left and right sides of Douglas sat Cario and Paul. The former was the commander of the military headquarters, and the latter was the instructor of the Holy Spirit soldiers, both of whom were Douglas's left and right hands. The three men with great power in asgat did not say a word, but the people under them quarreled endlessly.

Until Cario couldn't help clapping his palm on the solid wooden table and making a dull "bang", the controversial officers closed their mouths. Cario looked at his old friend and said, "Ben, what do you say?"

Douglas lowered his head, smiled, and pressed out half the remaining cigarette: "what else can I say? Valkiri is my daughter. Since oglock wants to see me, I naturally have to run hard."

"But marshal, this is a trap," said a young officer in his thirties.

He is at the bottom, but since he can enter this conference room, he is not incompetent. Douglas remembered his name as Owen. He was young and had a bright future.

"I know, I'm not blind." Douglas smiled. "But gentlemen, we've wasted nearly ten days on this issue because of oglock's little trick. I think the discussion should be over. I'll leave for Cyrus tomorrow. I'll pick up valkiri and meet many old friends I'll see at the end of the year. It's so simple."

All the officers at the bottom looked ugly. It was not easy to meet oglock. That's not an old man who can be pulled out of the crowd, but the ruler of eternal night city and the speaker of the dark Council!

"Paul and I will go with you," said Cario with a grin. "It's nice to see Ogg's old thing so soon."

"No, I'll go alone. You and Paul stay, and asgat needs you two old guys to preside over the overall situation." Douglas smiled softly. "It's not so convenient for me to leave even if I have to leave behind you two."

"He thinks we're a burden," Paul shook his head and said to Cario, "then we'll save a lot of effort."

The officers looked at each other. They thought Cario would persuade Douglas, but they didn't want them to agree. In this way, their opposition is irrelevant. Then the door of the conference room opened. Douglas's secretary came in and everyone, including the marshal himself, frowned at the scene. You know, no one is allowed to enter the meeting room until it is opened.

The Secretary obviously knew she was breaking a rule, but she came to Douglas. The Secretary bent down and quickly said in Douglas's ear, "the dawn is here. He's in your office. He said he had something important to discuss with you."

When Douglas heard the name of zero, his wrinkled eyebrows stretched out and his face even smiled. He waved to the Secretary to go down first, and then said, "you continue to discuss the situation on the front line. I'll go first if I have something to do."

Cario looked at him strangely. Douglas squeezed his eyebrows and said, "here's the change. This boy has disappeared for a whole year!"

Back in the office, Douglas came in and saw zero standing in front of the French window overlooking the whole asgat. He didn't look back, but said, "it's still as magnificent and beautiful as ever."

Then he looked back and smiled appropriately: "long time no see, marshal Douglas."

He winked and asked the Secretary behind to leave. The marshal smiled: "I still like you to call me Ben, just like in remt. Time flies. A few years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, if I could, I'd like to be a mercenary back then. It's not easy, but it's much easier here." zero pointed to his chest.

Douglas sat down on the sofa honestly and impolitely: "dawn city is developing well. Why do you think you are under great pressure? Look at my stall, that's a headache."

"If it were just a dawn City, I wouldn't have to complain to you." zero meaning said.

Douglas is an old man. He can't hear anything in zero. He pointed to the sofa, motioned the guest to sit down and said, "why, it's not about dawn city? What's that about? Oh, I heard you killed a general in asmo not long ago. What, Andre is going to settle with you?"

"You're wrong, it's two." zero raised two fingers and said, "it's not asmo's trouble. In fact, it's a bigger trouble than asmo. Even a disaster, it's a disaster for all of us."

Looking at zero, Douglas didn't speak. Zero continued: "I know it's hard to believe, but Ben, I hope you can believe me. Soon, a disaster will come. So now, I sincerely hope that the war between you and the dark Council can be ended. I know it's difficult, but anyway, please try. The sooner we end the war, the lower our internal friction and more resources will be available to meet Come down to real war. "

On the way here, zero thought about many ways. But in the end, he chose to get straight to the point. Any excuse or lie seems so ridiculous when dealing with giants like Douglas. Only sincerity can move him.

Still looking at zero, Douglas's eyes seemed to see through the soul of zero. Zero looks at it without avoiding it. For a long time, Douglas sighed, "you're already eleven. No wonder, no wonder you feel it."

"It?"

"Yes, it. I don't know what others call it, but I call it original sin because it was the culprit in the fall of the fourth era!"

As soon as the zero pupil contracted, he lost his voice and said, "you already know about prochus."

"Protheus? Why do you call it that?" Douglas was shocked. "God, I inferred the conclusion from all kinds of signs through the study of miracles. Where did you know it and even its name?"

"It's a long story," zero said with a bitter smile, "that's what an old guy told me."

He was not ready to explain more about agradis. After a word, he said, "so you have felt it?"

"Although I'm a little old, I'm not so slow. Such a strong energy response suddenly appears on the planet. I can't even deliberately ignore the past. When the power level comes to our stage, the feeling will always become sharper. Sometimes, it's really distressing. After all, ignorant people are always happier."

"Then oglock will feel it, too?"

"Even I noticed how the old man knew nothing," Douglas said.

Zero's eyes lit up: "in this case, maybe..."

"No, zero."

Douglas shook his head and smiled calmly: "Even if I'm willing to end the war, oglock won't stop there. Not long ago, the dark Council set up a trap and caught valkiri in Cyrus town. They asked me to go to the town. If there's no accident, I'll see oglock there. In order to welcome me, the old guy will certainly pay a lot of money, so you see, the war won't end here. Look On the contrary, it will get worse. "

Zero silence.

Oglock even made such an arrangement! It can be imagined that Douglas would be attacked if he was invited to Cyrus. If he didn't do it by oglock's means, it would be a dead end.

If he succeeds and Douglas dies in Cyrus, there will be no buffer between the Yingling temple and the dark Council. The two giants will fight to the death.

"What are you going to do?" zero looked at the old man in front of him.

Douglas was silent for a moment and sighed, "if I were twenty years ago, I would probably choose to sacrifice valkiri. However, when I am old, when you are old, you will understand that some things cannot be handled with reason. So I'm going to go to Cyrus. Of course, it's not easy for oglock to want my life."

He nodded and said, "well, I'll save varkiri for you."

"What?"

Douglas shook his head and said, "you don't have to do this. Now you can maintain a neutral position. Once you step in..."

"I know the consequences." zero interrupted him and said, "but it's better for me to go than you. Besides, I want to take this opportunity to listen to oglock's ideas."

"Hehe, if you want to listen to the old guy's ideas, you will be killed by him at any time."

"Many people want to kill me, but I'm still alive. Don't worry, I won't die casually." zero said frankly.

From his eyes, Douglas saw the confidence naturally revealed. Zero was not stupid. He knew who he was facing. But even if he knew that he was facing oglock, zero's eyes still didn't shrink back. In retrospect, zero didn't shrink back, whether he saw zero for the first time in remt or the problems he faced in asgat.

Douglas sighed and said, "what about seeing him? If he doesn't plan to end the war, what are your plans?"

"Then I can only stand on your side and invest all my strength to push down the mountain of the dark Parliament and end the human civil war in the shortest time!" zero said firmly without hesitation.

Douglas looked at him.

Originally, this man has grown to this point. Unconsciously, he has the power to control the current situation!
