Steel steam and flame

The man looked calm, sighed and stood up: "Thank you. I will definitely trouble you in many places in the future. Please don't think it will be a headache for me to come to you."

"You are the current patriarch. The only people who can oppose you are the group of people in the Presbyterian Church and its core affiliates. I do not belong to this group." Without any retort, the old man stood up to show off the most basic courtesy, "Can't say welcome. , but in order to give Ye Jielin some compensation, I think I have no reason or conditions to refuse."

The man shook his head and laughed: "I have been thinking about Ye Jielin's question. Of course, you must understand why the family still treats her like this even if she becomes a knight's squire. I hope you can understand me on this matter. .in addition,,,"

The voice of the words became very soft and thin at this time, and the old man clearly felt that the surrounding environment had changed in an instant. Both the spirit and the body were directly separated from reality at this moment, as if they were alone with the man in another parallel world. The pupils became extremely small due to the narrowing of the eyes. The old man knew that this was probably due to the surgical ability of the young man in front of him.

"There are many things that Patriarch Ren has not completed, and I want to finish them in my term. For myself who never cares about the future or entering the aging period, I am probably very suitable for this job." The man looked at the old man, "This is considered A reward for your trouble.”

The old man also became expressionless, and after hesitation he responded to the man's words: "Those people in the Presbyterian Church are replicas of the Holy Fathers of the Holy Emperor's Hall. If you want to completely reform this system in Webley, both strength and rights are indispensable. You must also be fully prepared to deal with the impact. There are many people in the family who want to attach themselves to the Presbyterian Church. At that time, as long as the Presbyterian Church said a word, they could get a lot of people to help them. This matter has never been about That's all, I hope you think about it carefully."

The man didn't answer. When the old man felt that the surroundings had returned to normal, the man had already closed the door and left.

On the outskirts of the central area of ​​Manoma, in the corner of the Imperial Parliament area, there is a star-shaped building rising from the ground, with a golden red dragon flag fluttering in the wind. There is a small platform below. The cold wind that blows high in the sky all year round keeps all the exposed metal buildings here covered with a thin layer of ice.

"Bathol, you are indeed here." The door at the entrance to the platform was opened, and the man who came out was wearing a formal suit and a colorful tie. The hair is short, pulled back and held in place with gel, giving it a sculpted stiffness.

"I thought you would leave here after the meeting, Leodia." The man named Bartol turned his head, his face covered with an old feeling blown by the cold wind. The golden pupils in his eyes seemed to be beating endlessly, exuding a sense of oppression all the time. His voice is very nice, gentle and majestic yet magnetic.

"I want to go back immediately and lie down and have a good rest. A meeting of this intensity is also a burden for us. Of course, most of it comes from the mental level." Leodia stood next to Bartol and looked with him at the man who still had the lingering brilliance. The place where the Daoguang Pillar disappears. The huge gap across the clouds is closing at a very fast speed, and the golden sunlight in that area is shrinking, and it won't be long before it will be completely swallowed up by the clouds.

Leodia sighed at this time and spoke with self-mockery: "Why do you think we passed the proposal of the Holy Emperor's Hall in the first place?"

"Why? Because we only belong to the empire, not to any force. Elinor's identity as the third generation of Knight King has seriously threatened the balance within the empire for so long, and we have to make a choice. There are the first two The experience of the Acting Knight King is that history can be used as a reference. Since we cannot control it, choosing to strangle and eliminate it is our choice." Balto answered without any hesitation, "If the Holy Emperor's Hall does not take the lead in doing this, then sooner or later we will do it. The only thing that is different this time is the increasingly unbearable endless desires of Red Star and the Holy Fathers."

The two people who had the same feelings about this fell into a tacit silence period. When the huge hole in the clouds completely closed and the falling sunlight completely disappeared from their sight, Bator turned and walked towards the door to the platform. Leodia followed Bartol's footsteps.

"Do those Holy Fathers really think that they are the ones who reached an agreement with the Theocracy?" Baatar said. Regarding the Holy Fathers' disgust, his emotions have always been at the top of the list, in every aspect and sense, " They started testing our boundaries early on and this time it was straight over the line.”

"You have to understand that several of the Holy Fathers have reached the limit of their lifespan. If they cannot find a suitable technology to increase their lifespan, the only thing waiting for them is self-freezing and waiting for the technology to mature over time. But once self-freezing is carried out, Their identity as Holy Fathers has also disappeared. With the election and appointment of a new Holy Father, there is no chance for the past Holy Fathers who have self-frozen. In their eyes, self-freezing means the end of their lives. It is said that Waiting for the technology to mature, but they all know that is just comfort."

"For their own desires and desire for eternal life, they can do anything. After all, the Holy Fathers are that group of people. There are many such people, including the Presbyterian Council and the Council of Elders of various families, as well as those in the Imperial Parliament The permanent directors and the so-called consulting teachers are not of the same nature." Entering the elevator with Balto, Leodia said, "The battle at the Knights of the Round Table has begun, and the Holy Emperor's Hall's plan against Cassia will continue. Go down. This time they are the first to break the boundary line, and I will not choose to remain silent."

"The permanent members of the parliament will not let you do what you want. The military is still in the awakening stage, and most of the five-star generals have no intention of getting involved in these troublesome things. Let alone the marshals, it is not during the war. To stand up now is tantamount to voluntarily giving up the position of marshal." There was a hint of weariness and powerlessness in his words. When Bartol said this, he raised his hand and pointed his palm at Leodia.

After silence, Leodia's voice became much lower: "Why is it him." There was a symbol in Bartol's palm, and Leodia knew exactly which figure in the military the symbol represented, "It's really surprising."

"He took the initiative to come to me and said he was willing to cooperate. It's still unclear what his purpose is, but as an option, I think we need to follow up and observe the possibility of this option in the future." Bartol When he put down his hand, the elevator protective door opened, "This time we have to intervene... where are the permanent directors..."

"Since it is him, I think it is worthwhile to spend some time dealing with several permanent directors." Leodia said, "In addition, I have thought about it for a long time, and some recent things have given me an idea - we need to re-evaluate The relationship between the Knight King and the Empire. Whether it is in history, now, or in the invisible future, this is probably a problem that must be resolved as soon as possible. I personally think it."
