Chapter 896

Douglas is smoking.

He seldom smokes, but now there are at least a dozen cigarette ends in the ashtray in front of him. The smoke rises, making the things in front of you seem illusory. Douglas had lost his mind, even in the conference room of asgart headquarters.

On both sides of the long table in front of him, a dozen senior military officers in asgat were arguing loudly. On Douglas's left and right sat carlio and Paul, the former commander of the army, the latter instructor of the Holy Spirit warrior, both of whom were Douglas's right and left hands. The three men with high power in asgat did not say a word. Instead, they were the people at the bottom.

It was not until calio could not help clapping his hand on the solid wooden table and making a dull bang that the disputable officers shut up. Carlio looked at his old friend and said, "Ben, what do you say?"

Douglas lowered his head and laughed. He pressed out the remaining half of the cigarette. "What else can I say. Valkiri is my daughter. Since oglock wants to see me, I have to work hard. "

"But marshal, it's a trap." Said a young officer in his thirties.

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

"I know. I'm not blind." Douglas said with a smile: "but gentlemen, we have wasted nearly ten days on this issue because of a little trick of oglock. I think the discussion should be over. I'll leave for Cyrus tomorrow. I'm going to pick up valkiri and meet many old friends I've met at the end of the year. It's so simple

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

"Paul and I will go with you." Cario grinned and said, "it's a pleasure to think about seeing Ogg so soon."

"No, I'll go alone. You and Paul stay, and asgart needs you two old guys to take charge of the situation. " Douglas chuckled, "it's not so convenient for me to leave you two behind."

"He thinks we are a burden." Paul shook his head and said to carlio, "we've saved a lot of energy."

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

The Secretary obviously knew that she was breaking a rule, but she came to Douglas with a stiff upper lip. The Secretary bent down and said quickly in Douglas's ear, "here's the change from dawn city. He's in your office. I want to talk to you about something important. "

When Douglas heard the name of zero, his frown widened and he even had a smile on his face. He waved to his secretary to go down first, and then said, "you continue to discuss the war situation on the front line. If I have something to do, I'll go first."

Carlio looked at him strangely. Douglas squeezed his eyebrows and said, "zero, this boy has disappeared for a whole year!"

Back in the office, as soon as Douglas came in, he saw zero standing in front of the French window overlooking the whole asgart. He did not look back, but said: "here is still as grand and beautiful as ever."

Then he turned around and gave the right smile: "long time no see, marshal Douglas."

He winked and asked the Secretary to leave. The marshal laughed: "I still like you to call me Ben, just like you used to call me Ben in remt. Time flies. It's years in the blink of an eye. "

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

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

"If it's just a twilight City, I don't have to complain to you." To say without meaning.

Douglas is an old man who can't tell what's in his mouth. He pointed to the sofa, motioned the guests to sit down and said, "why, it's not about dawning city? What's that about? Oh, I heard you just killed a general in asmo. What, is Andre going to settle with you? "

"You're wrong. It's two." Zero put up two fingers and said, "it's not asmo's trouble. In fact, it's bigger than asmo's. Even a disaster, 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 catastrophe will come. So now, I sincerely hope that your war with the dark Council can come to an end. I know it's hard, but anyway, please try. The sooner we end this war, the lower our internal friction will be, and there will be more resources to meet the real war. "

On the way here, I thought about many ways. But in the end, he chose to get to the point. When dealing with a giant like Douglas, any excuse or lie seems ridiculous. Only sincerity can move him.

Still looking at zero, Douglas's eyes seem to see through the soul of zero. There is no way to avoid seeing each other. For a long time, Douglas sighed, "you are already eleven. No wonder, no wonder you feel it. "

"It?"

"Yes, it is. I don't know what other people call it, but I call it original sin because it is the culprit that led to the fall of the fourth era! "

Zero pupil a shrink, lose voice way: "you already know the matter of proscius."

"Proscius? Why do you call it that? " Now it's Douglas's turn to look shocked: "God, I infer the conclusion from all kinds of signs through the study of the holy mark. Where do you know about it, even its name? "

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

He was not prepared to explain more about agradis. After a word, he said, "so, you already feel it?"

"Old as I am, I am not so dull. There is such a strong energy reaction on this planet that I can't ignore the past. When the power level reaches 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 can see how that old guy doesn't know anything." Douglas said.

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

"No, zero."

Douglas shook his head and said with a smile, "even if I were willing to end the war, oglock would not stop there. Not long ago, the dark Council set a trap and caught valkiri in the town of Cyrus. They asked me to go to the town, where I would meet oglock if there was no accident. In order to welcome me, that old guy will certainly pay a lot of money, so you can see that the war will not be over. On the contrary, it will get worse. "

No silence.

O'glock even made such arrangement! It is conceivable that Douglas would be attacked if he was invited to Cyrus. But with the method of oglock, if we don't do it, it will be a dead end.

If he succeeds and Douglas dies in Cyrus, there will be no buffer between the hall of souls and the dark Council. The two giants will fight against each other.

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

After a moment's silence, Douglas sighed, "if I had been 20 years ago, I would have sacrificed valkiri. But I'm old. When you are old, you will understand that some things can't be handled with reason. So I'm going to Cyrus. Of course, it's not easy for oglock to want my life

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

"What?"

Douglas shook his head and said, "you don't have to. Now you can be neutral. Once you step in... "

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

"Ha ha, if you want to listen to the old man, you will be killed by him at any time."

"There are a lot of people who want to kill me, but I'm still alive. Don't worry. I'm not going to die. " Zero said frankly.

In his eyes, Douglas saw that natural expression of confidence. Zero is not stupid. He knows exactly who to face. But even if we know that we have to face oglock, zero's eyes still don't shrink back. In retrospect, no matter when remt saw zero for the first time, or when he faced all kinds of problems in asgart, zero did not shrink back.

Douglas sighed and said, "what about seeing him? If he's not going to end the war, what's your plan? "

"Then I can only stand on your side and put in all my strength to push down the mountain of the dark Council in the shortest time and end the civil war of mankind!" Zero said it absolutely, without hesitation.Douglas looked at him.

It turns out that this man has grown up to this point. Unconsciously, he has the power to control the current situation!
