[thank you for voting again for Hellsing burial, for brother Xiang's reward, and for darthseer's monthly ticket support!]
In the evening, in the twilight, the recruits returned to rock city. These rookies have finally completed the first and most important test of their career. Although there were casualties in the recruits, and more people were injured, there were happy smiles on the faces blackened by the war. That night, nil fulfilled his promise, each recruit received his due reward, and the families of the war dead received a pension that satisfied them.
But after spending this part of the reward, the zero Treasury is obviously much less than before, which makes Leah, who helps to manage the finance, rather grumble. What the girl said was that she was too extravagant in her pocket money. Zero doesn't care about this. In terms of money, with the cooperation of ISTA and the dark brotherhood, there will only be a steady stream of wealth in the future.
What's more, the garrison of rock city is not from his own system, but from the local residents. Naturally, they have to buy their loyalty with money first. Although it is vulgar to do so, it is undeniable that the power of gold coins is enormous. They are enough to make people forget their original position. Of course, the Oracle before Paul played a word role.
Otherwise, money alone is not so easy to move them.
On the whole, today is a happy day for the people of rock city. Even yafidi, who is in the room, can feel the cheerful atmosphere on the street. Yafidi is not infected by the atmosphere outside. His mood is very complicated. Not only for today's defeat in the papal hall, but also for the strange phenomenon that I have been feeling uneasy since the afternoon.
Something seems to have happened. Yafidi thought, and it's a bad thing. He was filled again in his heart.
Then Mina opened the door. After days of recuperation, she has recovered from her injury and is in a good mental state, that is, she looks thinner than when she was in Rome. She said to yafidi with a smile, "you can eat."
During the meal, yafidi said to his wife, "your injury is almost healed. I think we can leave in two days. I've got supplies and supplies ready these days, and I've bought a new car that's enough for us to go anywhere. "
Mina took a bite of the bread, but didn't show it.
"What's the matter?" Yafidi asked softly.
Mina raised her head with a beautiful smile and said, "yafidi, let go."
"What?" Yafidi frowned.
"Your stage shouldn't be at home, it's on the battlefield, isn't it? In fact, you also want to fight, especially when the papal hall is like this. It's disappointing, isn't it? " Mina nodded and said, "in this case, you can work with them to overthrow the decadent papal hall."
"Mina, I don't think so."
"Come on." Mina smiles and points to herself and says, "I'm your wife. If I don't know what my husband is thinking, I'm not qualified to be a wife."
"So no matter what decision you make, I'll stick with you."
"So are we!"
The three children raised their hands and cried.
Yafidi patted their hands and said, "eat quickly. It's nothing for you."
Then he said to Mina, "well, I admit that Solon's practice makes me feel cold. I also want to fight with them in the Muslim Imperial Hall, and ask him face to face if it is necessary for him to be so unfeeling? But Mina, for me now, you are the most important. More than anything else
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 rang out inappropriately. Yafidi frowned and left his seat. He opened the door, and outside was a man who wrapped himself in a cloak, covering his face with only a pair of familiar eyes.
He quickly pulled down the cloth covering his face, revealing a face that should never appear here.
"Huodu?" Yafeidi body tremor, lost his voice: "how can you be here?"
This man is the confidant of signe. If he appears here, it can only explain two situations. One is that Sinai also came to the rock city, the other is that something happened to Sinai. And no matter which possibility, it's not a good thing in the current situation.
Huo Du showed a wry smile: "Lord yafeidi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm glad to see you. Although I would like to have a long talk with you, the current conditions do not allow it. I can only make a long story short... "
He took out an envelope from his cloak and put it in yafidi's hand. He said, "Lord Sinai has had an accident. As for the reason, it's all in this letter. Yafidi will understand after reading it.""What happened? What's the matter with him Yafidi asked.
Huodu pointed to the envelope, then pulled on the cloth to cover most of his face and left in a hurry. Yafidi watched as he turned into an alley across the street. In a flash, it was already in the night. He had to close the door and walk back. Listening to his heavy footsteps, Mina asked softly, "what's the matter?"
Yafidi said: "just now huodu came, he brought me a letter, and said that something happened to Sinai."
"What? Lord Sinai, he also... "
Jaffetti gently covered her mouth and said, "you and the children have dinner first. I'll go to the living room and see what siene wrote."
Mina nodded cleverly, didn't ask again, and went back to the table. Yafidi came to the living room and opened the seal. Inside was a letter and a storage chip. First he opened the letter, which was in the familiar typeface of yafidi. The handwriting from the hand of signe is always elegant with a trace of melancholy. That melancholy is always revealed in a curve of a certain letter.
This kind of feeling, even if want to forge also cannot forge.
In his letter, he wrote:
Words are like faces.
My friend, when you see this letter, I may be gone. Please don't be sad for my leaving, on the contrary, you should be happy for me. I can finally get rid of this depressed life and keep my promise to sari. If there is heaven, she will wait for me in heaven, so what can be sad.
To make a long story short, I found something in the papal hall, in the saloon palace. I've recorded it and asked Hodgson to bring it to you. As for whether to make it public or not, let's leave it to you.
I'm tired. As early as Sari left me, I was already tired. If I hadn't promised sari, I would have followed her. Fortunately, in this day without any hope, I have your company. 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 the name of Sinai.
Jaffetti's hand was trembling, and he knew what his dream was. In a word, like him, he was a man who attached great importance to his family. Unfortunately for him, his young wife, sari, left because of genetic disease in her prime. She didn't even have time to leave her children. The only commemoration is the ring on the tail finger, which witnesses the faithful love between him and his wife.
If it wasn't for Sari's promise to live as hard as she could at any time before she died, she would have left with her. Over the years, Sinai has been longing for a way to die on the premise of abiding by the agreement with sari.
That's his long cherished wish.
But Sinai is a high-level man of ability, or a rare creator. Few people can kill him. If the so-called silver haired man in Thaksin's letter has the power to kill him, then the strength of this man is the level of zero, even above him.
Jaffetti has played against zero. He knows exactly where zero is. And this reunion, he keenly felt that zero had been greatly improved. Even if Solon is on zero, yafidi is not optimistic, which shows that zero has been very strong. So, who is the man who is shoulder to shoulder with zero, or even stronger than him?
Yafidi's eyes fell on the storage chip, thinking or the answer can only be found from it.
In the office of the city hall, a meeting is being held among zero sum, Leah, and mamillo. The content of the meeting is the next work arrangement. According to the information received by zero, Paul will arrive in two days and join them in the city of rock. Then, the next day, he and Isabel set out for the headquarters of the dark brotherhood.
Isabel has applied to the seven member committee for a meeting between zero and Paul. The application has been approved and Gao Li, the top leader, has given the place and time of the meeting. At that time, zero will go with Paul. But in order to keep it secret, he won't take too many people with him. The only people who go together are Cinderella and Mr. X.
The meeting place is on an island surrounded by water. In the event of an emergency, hindrella's water system capacity will be maximized. Mr. X, on the other hand, was not interested in his fighting power, but in his qualifications. After all, he was the first head of the order of the seal, and he had heard about the dark brothers. With him, we can make up for the lack of knowledge in the western continent.
As for the others, they stayed in the city of rock, where mamiro strengthened the training of recruits and trained a group of mecha drivers. Froman and Trident form the backbone of Rock City, and the last high-level garrison is Su and Yeliu.
It can be said that in addition to the shortage of ordinary soldiers, the garrison strength of rock city is enough to challenge the papal hall.Now, zero is one of the most important figures in the mainland. Hearing that he had only brought Cinderella and Mr. X with him, others were not sure. However, zero had been decided, and the sudden departure of a large number of high-ranking officials would indeed attract the attention of the papal chamber, so others did not refute.
Just in the middle of the meeting, a soldier trotted in and whispered in zero's ear, "my Lord, Mr. yafidi, please see you."
"Is that him?" I was a little surprised.
Fortunately, things have been explained almost, zero let others stay to continue to refine his work after leaving, he went to the reception room to meet with yafeidi.
In the reception room, you can see that yafeidi is pacing. Liu Qing on his face is very anxious. As soon as zero came in, he immediately said, "there's a very important video to show you."
"What video?" At the same time, let the soldiers out and close the door. Don't let anyone disturb him until you come out. Then they sat down with yafeidi, who handed him a smart brain, on which a video window had been opened, ready to play.
Yafidi said: "this is my friend and the head of the Fourth Army of the knight order. Sinai secretly sent the information to me. He may have an accident, and it's this video that makes him pay for his life. "
Zero listen, put on dignified expression. It can not be overemphasized how important it is for a military commander to give his life to yafidi. He immediately Click to play, the beginning of the video is a square, square in front of a solemn and gorgeous building. "This is the papal hall in Rome, the highest authority," yafidi explained
The video continues as the photographer enters the papal hall. Then came a spacious hall, and then zero saw Solon. After a passionate speech to the next ten or so officers, Solon asked them to leave. Judging from Solon's words, he is as good as what he guessed before zero. He has a way to advance the capable.
Then the officers entered a palace like building, and yafidi pointed out in time that it was soron's palace, where he usually rested and worked. But the photographer did not enter the palace, but quietly retreated, and then went through a few complex corridors to the back of the palace. At this moment, the picture stops for a moment, then the camera starts to rise, and then probes through the gap in the window. It seems that the photographer should have used equipment like a micro camera.
In the picture, a tall man in a black windbreaker suddenly appears. With his back to the camera, he shows a well proportioned and perfect body. The long silver hair was spreading out, carrying the officers who had entered the palace like tentacles, and delivering some kind of energy to them.
When a job is done, the man releases the officer and stands still. Until a moment, he suddenly turned back, so zero saw a face very similar to himself, and the golden left eye like gold!
That's the end of 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 prosius. 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 has his own consciousness, and agradis can only seal him up. I didn't expect that in this era, I found and transformed prohughes into his own knight.
Zero knows that he will meet Gaia sooner or later, because prosius wants to find out and kill himself through him. But unexpectedly, Gaia was on the western continent, and still in Solon's palace. Agradis once said that Prometheus obscured his perception of Gaia, so agradis didn't mention it when he borrowed the brain of the antura worm to temporarily bring his will to Gaia.
Otherwise, with the danger of the Black Knight, agradis will remind him no matter what.
Now, it seems to be happening too fast. Before zero was ready, Gaia suddenly appeared.
Yafidi then said, "how can this happen? Zero, why are you and this man... "
No wonder yafidi is so confused. After all, that man is very similar to zero. Whether it's appearance, or a left and a right golden pupil. Two people are just like the positive and negative sides of the mirror, people can't help guessing the relationship between them.
"It's a long story. In a word, this guy should be my predestined enemy. I know that sooner or later I will meet and fight with him. But I didn't expect that I would run into him in the western continent. " "If it's him, then I'm sorry. I'm afraid the commander has no chance to survive," he said in a low voice
Yafeidi's face darkened, and it was obvious that he knew the man very well. If even he said that, then he was basically dead.
"However, commander senei risked his life to send this information to you. Surely there is something else in it?" Asked zero."Yes, once the video is released, it will be a huge blow to soron's reputation. Sinai should know this, because no matter how we fight for power, it's internal struggle. But if you let others know that Solon borrowed external force, then he has stepped on the bottom line that many people can tolerate. " Jaffetti said with a wry smile: "Sinai is to let me choose, is to publish this information, in order to accelerate the demise of Solon. Or destroy it so that you can't break Rome so easily. "
"But you let me see him..."
Yafidi nodded, and a decisive color flashed in his eyes: "because I can't stand what Solon has done any more!"
"I see..." zero said: "two days later, Pope Paul will arrive in the city of rock, and you can give him this information. I think he is more suitable than anyone to deal with this information, don't you think? "
Yafidi thought about it and said, "it's true."
Two days later, Pope Paul arrived at the rock city as scheduled. His arrival has undoubtedly given the city residents a shot in the arm. Paul's appearance, to a certain extent, shows the "legitimacy" of the zero class, which gives them a protective color called "divine envoy", and at the same time, forces Sauron to the other end of the opposition with the gods. If it wasn't for Sauron, he would have been censured by the inquisition.
The city of rock has now become the focus of the whole continent. Paul's public appearance and the legitimate transformation of the invaders are full of too much information. 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 any hesitation, which is undoubtedly another big bomb.
That night, yafidi met Paul secretly under zero's arrangement. Three days later, a video spread quietly in Rome. In the video, when the papal hall, soron's palace and mysterious man are linked together, there is a rumor that soron is associated with outsiders to force the officers of the knight order. After all, in that video, the behavior of the silver haired man has nothing to do with the word "friendly".
For a time, the opposition to soron's rule was raised in the city of Rome. And after this incident, it is not difficult to see the powerful men such as mendelisa behind the scenes.
