Chapter 1269: The Dawn of the Sea (dungeon ends/super large chapter, please vote for me)

"That 'faction,'"

Vico's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is it the one at Greystone Palace?"

"Yes, our old president, although he is old, he is silent a lot of the time,"

Christos sighed softly, "But his eyes can still see, and his ears can still hear. He actually knows everything that happens in the Federation, and he actually knows everything that happens in Dawn City.

"He entered the center of the Federation at the age of thirty and became a member of the House of Representatives. He spent his whole life in and out of that gray stone palace until he sat in that palace himself."

Listening to Christos's words, Vico fell silent.

After a brief pause, he spoke slightly and whispered, "Greystone Palace has actually been dissatisfied with the Church of Order, but they do not have the means to completely eradicate the Church of Order.

"So it's not that Greystone Palace supports us, but they need us to help them bring down the Church of Order."

He raised his head and looked at Christos, "That's why they gave Dawn City a 'hint' in advance."

Then, he chuckled, "But Mingte City didn't get the hint, because Mingte City is a small marginal city, and life and death are not important in their eyes.

"Sault didn't get the hint. Even though Sauter had done so many things for them, when it was possible to directly face the impact of the Church of Order, they decisively gave up on Sauter.

"And it was the legion commander who got the hint in Chenxi City, not you, because you might have died in this incident, but the legion commander would have been alive,"

He turned and glanced at the ruins outside the window, "They don't care whether there is a problem with the Chenxi City government, or how much turmoil and killing the Church of Order's actions will cause. They just make random moves to see if there is a chance to overthrow the Church of Order."

"Strictly speaking,"

Christos said calmly, "They actually care about us, but they may not recognize us."

Vico was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of Christos's words, and said slowly, "Are they actually deliberately allowing the Church of Order to act? The Church of Order is trying to subvert the Chenxi City Government, and will offend the Legion Commander no matter what, so the Legion The commander will become their potential ally, so they will 'hint' to the commander of the army."

He looked at Christos, "If you're lucky, the legion commander has enough cards and even comes back, maybe he can interrupt the ceremony of the Church of Order's promotion to an angel.

"So their original plan was that both you and the Church of Order would suffer, and then they could reap the benefits?"

He frowned slightly, "But they are betting all their money on the legion commander. What if the legion commander doesn't come back or take action against the Church of Order? Do they trust the legion commander so much?"

Hearing his words, Christos looked at the green leaves aside, was silent for a moment, and whispered, "They know the legion commander very well, and they should think that the legion commander has that ability."

"But the legion commander didn't come back in the end..." Vico was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize something. He whispered, "The legion commander actually noticed from the beginning that his 'sense' was interfered with."

He looked at Christos, "The legion commander actually knew their plan from the beginning?"

The answer lies in the riddle. Christos told him from the beginning that the legion commander felt something was wrong with this 'crisis sensing'.

"I have no idea,"

Christos shook his head, "Judging from my communication with the legion commander, he probably didn't understand the specific situation at first. He just knew that someone was plotting against Chenxi City, so he adopted a method that Gray Stone Palace had not thought of. 'Way',"

He said slowly, "Interfering with fate, letting fate choose a person who may be able to change the outcome to participate in the event, and participating in this 'battle' from the beginning in another way. He should have paid a heavy price for this method." , which resulted in him not being able to clear the obstacles and return to Chenxi City as quickly as possible, but it also added variables to the matter. "

"Sot is the chosen one?"

Vico came back to his senses, and then he asked with some doubts, "Did the Church of Order not notice the movement in the Greystone Palace at all? Don't they know that doing such a thing would offend Chenxi City and the Legion Commander?"

"Of course I noticed it,"

Christos said calmly, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, "But according to the legion commander, the leader of the Church of Order also has his own trump card. He has the support of the gods. He probably thinks that he will definitely become An angel, and as long as he becomes an angel, all problems are no problem, so he is willing to gamble."

Hearing Christos's words, Vico sighed, "The Federation doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp."

He looked at Christos and continued, "But in the end, Sauter ended the Church of Order. It seems that the legion commander won?"

"Judging from the results, the facts seem to be most in line with the expectations of the Legion Commander," Christos shook his head, "But in fact, the Legion Commander himself did not expect that things would develop to this point, nor did he expect that Sauter could kill him. Leader of the Church of Order, this ‘variable’ will be so ‘big’.”

He paused, retracted his gaze, glanced at a playing card framed on the table, and whispered, "The direction of this matter has always been determined by the existence that really dominates the 'chess game.'"

Vico's eyes fell on the playing card, staring at the 'K' character in the corner of the card.

After a brief silence, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Christos, "We don't know what his purpose is."

"Yes," Christos nodded slightly, "but at least, so far, He has shown the same goals as us."

"Yes, there are many people affected by him," Vico sighed. He looked at Christos and said with some doubts, "But the legion commander actually communicates with you so much? This is the mayor of Chenxi City. treatment?”

"Most of the time he was talking and I was listening,"

Christos shook his head, "The former mayor of Chenxi City did not have this kind of treatment. Most of the time, the army commander did not take the initiative to meet people. As long as Chenxi City itself is not endangered, he actually doesn't care that much about the mayor of Chenxi City. life and death,”

He looked at Vico's somewhat puzzled eyes and thought, "Perhaps his words are some kind of 'investment'. Our performance has finally caught his eye, and he needs to show some 'attitude'."

"It seems that I, the mayor who is chasing ducks, do still have a lot to learn." Vico listened to Christos's words and sighed with a smile, "I don't listen to you, I can't react at all. These things.”

"It's also a matter of poor information," Christos smiled and shook his head, "I definitely don't know as much about Minter City as you do."

"Are you kidding? If you were in Minter City, you would definitely do much better than me. However," Vico looked at Christos and asked softly, "Did you reach a cooperation with Greystone Palace from the beginning?"

"No,"

Christos shook his head and said slowly, "Sault's killing of the leader of the Church of Order exceeded the expectations of the Greystone Palace. The most extreme preparation they had made was that the leader of the Church of Order failed in the ceremony, and they did not expect that the leader of the Church of Order would fail. Church leaders will die in Dawn City,"

He paused and continued, "So before they actually took action, they had been hesitating whether to take action against the Church of Order."

"Is this why Irons is silent?"

Vico came back to his senses, "The stronger we show our ability, the more shaken they become, and finally choose to take action with us?"

"Yes," Christos nodded lightly, "The first half of the silence is hesitation, and the second half of silence is brewing, paralyzing the enemy. Judging from the intelligence I collected, the Church of Order has even judged that the Gray Stone Palace I won’t take action anymore.”

"But he took action and cut through the mess as quickly as possible. In a short time, he uprooted the Church of Order in Irons and severely damaged the consortium that was close to the Church of Order." Vico raised his head and took the In the words of Ristos, "Although the old president is older, his methods are still ruthless."

"Yes, without their complete cooperation, we would not be able to eliminate the forces of the Church of Order on such a large scale,"

Christos seemed to have thought of something and sighed, "All this is largely due to the arrangement of Sauter and that one,

"If cities and forces such as Yilan City, Nolanka Group, and Winter City do not participate and stand with us, the power of Chenxi City alone will not be enough to affect the balance in their hearts."

"Yes," after hearing what Christos said, Vico nodded slightly, then he raised his head and looked at Christos, "However, the Church of Order has been solved, and now we have to face the Greystone Palace. "

After experiencing a bloody war and turmoil, both Chenxi City and Mingte City are not in a good state now. They need a breather and rest, and they cannot withstand another violent struggle.

"No," Christos shook his head. He looked at Vico and smiled, "This 'timing' exceeded everyone's expectations. In fact, Greystone Palace was not prepared before taking action. The Church of Order died. If you don't freeze, the counterattack before death and the counterattack after death are not so easy to bear. They should not be able to cause us trouble in a short time."

Having said this, he paused and whispered, "Saut should have figured this out a long time ago. This is what he left us. Even after his death, the arrangements he left behind are still helping us. "

Upon hearing this, Vico lowered his eyes and fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head, looked at Christos, opened his mouth slightly, and then slowly closed it.

"Any questions?"

Christos looked at his expression and asked softly.

"That guy from Greystone Palace," Vico slowly opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

When he heard his question, Christos was slightly startled.

"have no idea,"

In the end, Christos did not give a clear answer. He seemed to be caught in some kind of memory and whispered,

"When I was young, I actually met the man from Greystone Palace. He was already quite old at that time and was preparing to run for president. I could feel that he really wanted to change the Federation. Many of my early ideas were actually I was also influenced by him.”

He looked through a window at the side and looked at the Dumel National Cemetery standing alone in the distance. "But after he became the president, he became silent. I don't know if he still maintains the ideals he had back then. Even if he maintains, I’m afraid his path is different from ours.”

There was silence in the empty ward.

Irons Greystone Palace

The tall and straight figure passed through the narrow corridor, and the interlaced light and shadow through the windows paved a continuous road under his feet.

He crossed these lights and shadows, stepped on the old and dim ground, and arrived at the end of the corridor.

The old door opened automatically.

His figure passed through the old door and entered the office.

The white marble desk and the old man behind the desk were reflected in his pupils. He looked at the old man in front of him and said slowly,

"Nord Financial Consortium was unusually silent this time and only made some small moves..."

"Qunxing Pharmaceuticals is a little dissatisfied and is trying to connect..."

"Nolanka Group is now involved in more and more industries, and its way of doing things is somewhat different from that of traditional consortiums..."

······

"Christos's support rate in Dawn City is still rising. If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that he will be re-elected..."

······

The figure kept narrating, and the old man kept sitting there quietly.

He just sat there, looking unusually old, and the expression on his face rarely changed, as if he had fallen asleep long ago and didn't listen to the words of the figure at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the figure suddenly spoke softly, "I've been to Dumer National Cemetery."

"How was it?"

The old voice sounded for the first time in the empty hall.

"It's well-maintained,"

the figure said slowly, "There are many people there, and there are many bouquets in front of his grave."

The empty office fell into silence again.

After an unknown amount of time, the old voice sounded again with a sigh,

"He is a noble man."

Dumer National Cemetery

Holding pure white flowers in her arms, the short-haired girl walked through the winding trail, step by step towards the depths of the green.

There were many people with her, most of them holding flowers, following the same path, and walking in the same direction.

The breeze blew the girl's short hair, and she raised her head and looked at everything around her.

The scattered tombstones scattered around the trail looked messy, but seemed to hide invisible rules, which was quite beautiful.

Her eyes quickly fell on a blonde woman in a leather jacket not far from her.

The figure stood in front of a lonely tombstone, seemingly mourning.

A little boy also stood beside her, quietly staring at the tombstone.

Just by looking at the back, the short-haired girl could feel that this must be one of the world's top beauties.

Is it her husband, or...

However, blonde hair and beauty, these iconic features...

The short-haired girl glanced at the woman and the boy beside her, and some thoughts came to her mind.

She looked at the road ahead, and her originally active thoughts slowly dissipated.

······

"What did you bring?"

"White chrysanthemums. My family uses white chrysanthemums to mourn the dead."

"Mine are also white chrysanthemums. Everyone seems to use white chrysanthemums. What's the meaning behind this?"

"It seems that in Chenxi City, white chrysanthemums symbolize respect? Generally, white chrysanthemums are used to mourn heroes or people who deserve respect. If it is to mourn an important person who is missed, some people will use white tulips, but the customs in each place are different. I heard that yellow chrysanthemums are used in Ains, which represents respect and also represents the remembrance between friends."

······

The crowd was filled with scattered whispers, and the short-haired girl just walked forward quietly with the bouquet in her arms.

After walking for an unknown period of time, she arrived at an open area.

A group of scattered statues stood in front of her like tombstones.

The girl slowly moved forward and finally stopped in front of the largest and tallest statue.

The statue was not a front-facing statue like the other statues, but had its back to the crowd.

His clothes were already torn, and his body was stained with messy blood. He turned his back to the crowd who came to pay tribute, and looked up at the sky.

His figure was so thin, but he was like a tall giant, guarding the people behind him.

There was a line of words engraved on the base of the statue.

[We can't see his face clearly, and can't hear his voice, but we know that he is there, with us. ]

Next to this statue, there is an exquisite tombstone with cursive words engraved on it.

[Sote Lynch]

[710-759]

Various flowers have been placed in front of the tombstone, almost filling the base of the tombstone.

The short-haired girl stared at the tombstone quietly.

Her eyes subconsciously looked at the raised stone tomb behind the tombstone. She knew that it was empty.

'He did not disappear in the real world, so he did not leave any items. The city government only found some blood-stained clothing fragments scattered on the ground and buried them in the tomb. ’

She remembered the news she heard in the taxi when she came here.

There is actually a similar cemetery in Minter City, standing in the center of the city, and the cemetery is also empty.

“Can Mr. Soter come back?”

The girl dressed as a wilderness wanderer beside her whispered softly, “His body did not return to the flames or the earth, and disappeared forever with the reflection. The old man in the wilderness said that the soul will always float outside the world and cannot rest.”

“Hush,” the figure beside her gently interrupted her words, “He will come back. He is so good, and there will be gods to guide him back.”

Listening quietly to the whispers beside her, the short-haired girl took a step forward and slowly placed the white tulip in her hand next to the yellow chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone.

She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but it seemed as if she was choked by a breath, and she couldn't say anything.

Finally, she quietly stared at the lonely tombstone, tried to pull up her cheeks, and pulled a smile,

"We succeeded."

The crystal tears were gathered by the bulging face, gathered in the girl's eye sockets, and overflowed along her cheeks.

The drifting wind blew the pure white petals and flew to the sky.

The sunlight shone on the crystal petals, like sparks scattered all over the sky.

It was pulled into a long road in the wind.
