Chapter 155 Return of Life

At the house of the Minister of the Interior, Earl Reard, there were many fewer people attending the secret meeting this time, and the morale was no longer as high as before. The entire conference room was filled with gloom.

"Who did it? Who took the initiative to poison Arcadio!?" Earl Rild's fat face trembled with anger.

He glanced around the room, and the nobles he glanced at all lowered their heads.

"My lord, no matter who did it, this incident has already happened. The question now is how to deal with the current situation." A nobleman said with a sigh.

When the other nobles in the house heard the words, they all complained:

"Yes, Arcadio has gone mad."

"Crow and his Bureau of Investigation are setting off a massacre of nobles!"

"We must stop them!"

One person said to the Minister of the Interior Reard with a solemn expression: "Three of the nobles captured by Crowe and his investigation bureau have died in prison. Without Arcadio's instruction, would he dare to do this? Al Katio is not taking revenge, he is using this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and get rid of all those who threaten him, what does he want to do? Rebellion!"

"We must report the matter to His Majesty!" Someone echoed.

"It's useless," said the Minister of the Interior Reard, "I don't know what magic Arcadio has cast on His Majesty. Your Majesty trusts him very much. Especially after this incident, Your Majesty believes that Arcadio is a loyal man." No two, for the sake of the king, he is a courtier who does not care about himself, and those who attack and slander him are naturally courtiers."

"Fun Lord!" A nobleman shouted angrily.

The meeting room fell silent, but no one came forward to refute the man's statement just now.

"Are we waiting to die like this?" Someone said dejectedly.

It took a while for the Minister of the Interior Reard to speak slowly, "Maybe, we should find Stolt and try to talk to him."

...

After William received the news from Akin's phone bug, he set off for the town where the Sixteenth Navy Division was stationed, and met with the mouse and the others.

In the East China Sea, on a naval ship with the number "16" printed on it, Colonel Mouse, the base commander of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy, was standing side by side with William, looking at the bridge beyond the horizon.

It is also a rare sight for a big pirate and a high-ranking naval officer to be making comments on "Tecchila Wolfe", known as the Kingdom on the Bridge.

"The population of Tequila Wolfe is already very large, but the world government is still sending people here, and the above itself has no output, and the burden of logistics has become heavier and heavier," Colonel Mouse bit his cigar, and felt very Like his former chief, Roy, "The escort work of our navy is not easy. If something happens in this place, it will often directly involve the world government and have a great impact."

"Have the officials of the World Government and Tequila Wolf thought of a solution?" William asked.

"The solution? What solution can they have? Go hungry!" The mouse said disapprovingly, "Anyway, the above are basically criminals from various countries, as well as nationals of non-member countries. Even if they starve to death, no one will care. It reduces the logistical burden."

William nodded. He looked at the bridge with his hands behind his back for a while, and suddenly asked: "Since the population is a burden for the officials on the bridge, they should agree to buy some population, right?"

The mouse was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at William suspiciously: "What are you buying someone for?"

"I'm going to mine. Anyway, no one cares about the lives of these people, so it's just right to use them to work." William said lightly.

"As long as you give enough benefits to the officials above, no one will object." Colonel Mouse didn't have much doubt, and shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, "Anyway, many people die every year at the top, who can replace the 'dead' with Bailey? Will you be happy?"

William turned his head and looked at the mouse with a smile: "Then I will need your help to lead the thread. I bought a new manor in the noble district of Kalmar City. The servants and maids are all arranged, but there is no master. If you have time, you can live there and take a rest."

The mouse was overjoyed, and stepped forward to hug William's shoulder affectionately, but because William was too tall, he needed to lift his feet, which seemed a little funny: "Don't worry, based on our relationship, I will definitely help you with the things you ordered." Sure, and I have already handed in the report that Ah Jin was transferred to the headquarters for further study, and he will be able to go to the great route in a short time."

"But to be honest," Colonel Mouse pretended to be old-fashioned and taught William, "It's not a good idea for you to let Ah Jin go to the headquarters. I know best what the great route looks like, because I came from there. Ah Jin's strength Yes, assisting us in the East China Sea can also play a big role, why send it to the great route to take risks?"

Seeing William smiling and saying nothing, Colonel Mouse shook his head: "I know, you want 'six styles', I really don't understand what you people think, you spend a lot of time every day, practicing like self-harm, and you don't know how to enjoy it at all. Life."

He took out a note from his pocket: "In Roy's office, I didn't find any information about the 'Six Types', but I found this thing, I think you will be interested."

William lowered his head to take the note, and after opening it, there was a line of big characters written on the first page:

Life returned.

"What is this?" William flipped through the contents of the notes roughly, his expression becoming a little dignified.

"It's also a technique in the World Government, but it's different from the 'six-style' martial arts. It's a kind of meditation training." Colonel Mouse pointed to the note with a finger between his cigars. "Roy may also be practicing during this time." It, but judging by his appearance, it’s probably not done well.”

The mouse's guess should be true, because there are many annotations on the notes, which seem to be Roy's usual experience.

According to the records in the notes, the return of life is a kind of meditation training that emphasizes the consciousness of the human body, so that the consciousness can penetrate all the limbs, whether it is hands, feet, muscles, or even hair, internal organs, after practicing the return of life, it can be used at any time. Manipulate consciously.

In fact, the swordsmanship that William learns also contains content about the mind and consciousness. After all, Koshiro's swordsmanship is called "Isshin Flow".

But swordsmanship is still a kind of martial art with the goal of killing the enemy in the final analysis, and it pursues more physical strength and fighting skills. It does not involve much meditation practice on the level of mind and consciousness, and it is related to the content of returning life. It is more general and rough than that.

William flipped through the notes in front of the mouse, and asked, "Is there anyone in the navy here who has mastered this thing?"

"Are there any monsters in the Navy headquarters that can't be trained?" Colonel Mouse complained.

William pursed his lips and felt relieved, as long as it wasn't a practice method imagined by a lunatic.

What he valued was the ability of life return consciousness to permeate the whole body and control the limbs and bones. His steam fruit now has two main means of defending against the enemy, one is to use steam pressure, and the other is to use high temperature, but currently they have encountered limitations. The further bottleneck, the reason is that he cannot lock the steam and heat because of the steam pressure.

If William can practice this trick, it may be of great help to his strength.
