Trafford’s Trading Club

Outside the palace, it's peaceful, inside the palace, orderly.

Four people sat on two opposite couches, eating vanilla-scented ice cream together.

“Ice cream technology was brought to me by a friend on the ground before me.” Lewis XXIX dropped the spoon, "unfortunately this friend passed away a few days ago... and I only learned about it when he was a guest of his own. ”

Just say a word of pity at this time.

Boss Luo stopped to do the same and exclaimed, "No wonder the ice-cream truck sells out so quickly every time. It looks like it's not just the only commodity relationship, but the taste is memorable. ”

Even the maid rarely ate her share, apparently with the emperor's high level of craftsmanship.

At this time, the maid sent a handkerchief to let Mr. Lo wipe his mouth... and the young girl Ryugo across the street was doing the same thing.

“Let's talk business.” Lewis XXIX put down his handkerchief and said, “Did you help to modify [Feitao] in Reaz? ”

“Yes." Boss Lo nodded directly.

His Majesty the Emperor said more directly: "I am interested in this technology and wonder if you have any interest in transferring it to me. ”

Boss Luo casually said: "Don't know if His Majesty's so-called transfer is a buyout, or is it simply learning? ”

His Majesty the Emperor thought, “What price? What's the price? ”

“Sell me the White Tower, and this technology can be sold to you relatively.” Boss Lo also thought, “If you just want to learn… exchange the [holy nail] technology that this lady has used before. ”

“Oh...” Girl Ryugo rumored, revealing a slight smile, "It's really a long day to ask for a price... are you really a businessman? ”

Boss Luo was indifferent… His Majesty the Emperor waved, indicating that Luigo was quiet for the time being.

Lewis XXIX looked at Lochu and said slowly: "White Tower I can't give away, as for the technology of the Holy Armor… this is one of the highest secrets of the Undersea City, are you sure you can only exchange your technology? ”

“Giant energy, the ability of souls and machines to coexist, was also the result of a certain civilizational era of technology.” Lady Maid calmly said: “Limolian civilization, the magical age, is also an era… there is not much difference between the two sides in the glorious times, why not exchange. ”

“Giant?” His Majesty frowned and thought: “I'm afraid I'm lonely… I've never heard of such a civilization. ”

Boss Lo laughed: “At present, the countries of the world on earth are simply treating the Undersea City as a fantasy legend. ”

His Majesty shook his head and said, "Why buy it off? ”

“We will no longer sell the technology to third parties until other customers bid less than White Tower," said Boss Lo. ”

Blackheart--!

This is the whispering grievance of the young girl, Ryugo, and the mumbling sound.

But His Majesty the Emperor smiled bitterly: "As I said, White Tower, I cannot give up… As for [Holy Armor] production technology, to be honest, I cannot publish it either. If you can, I hope you can change another condition. ”

Of course, it can't just be [Sacred Armor] production technology - if it's just [Soul and Machine Symbiosis] technology that learns about giant civilizations, there's a lot that undersea city can use as a trade under the altar.

For example, directly in exchange for the soul… the undersea city, nine million people.

When it also revealed a free piece of information to Lochu: this submarine city, which belongs entirely to Louis XXIX… the nine million people of the submarine city, their lives and even their souls, are considered entirely private property of Louis XXIX.

This is the judgment of the altar.

“In that case...” Boss Lo said at this time: "If you can give me twenty of those black balls from yesterday, you can. ”

At this moment, the teenage girl, Ryugo, squeezed her eyes... and the killing moment filled every corner of the room.

But at the next moment, a more powerful killing than this young girl's killer was like a volcanic eruption... a giant wave that instantly submerged the waves in the lake.

Girl Ryugo's face went straight pale.

The maid picked up the cup in silence, as if nothing had happened.

His Majesty the Emperor sees these in his eyes… It's just his calm expression, but he doesn't know what's going on in his heart - he again slowly appeals and shook his head: “One more condition. ”

“You cut off two million people for me.” Boss Lo implicitly said the third different condition, then directly the fourth condition: “Or...”

“Or what?” His Majesty the Emperor's gaze… the third condition is that he has made a slight unnatural change in his calm look, as to this fourth alternative condition?

Boss Lo didn't speak, he just looked at the Emperor.

In an instant, the divine colour of Louis XXIX changed slightly again… He took a deep look at each other, then silenced, and a long time later slowly said: “It seems that our first negotiation was not a success. ”

“It doesn't matter," said Boss Luo casually. “Business could not have been negotiated for the first time… there are things to consider between the two sides. ”

“Ryugo.” His Majesty the Emperor commands at this time: "Treat these two guests as guests, and do not be lazy during this time. ”

Perhaps because of some sort of post-adversarial relationship a moment ago, the girl in the silver robe, much quieter at this time... nodded silently.

After that, Louis XXIX left the bargaining room with the young girl Luigo… As for Boss Lo and the maid, she was placed in a separate courtyard in the palace.

Interestingly, Reyes is also being placed in this courtyard at this time.

……

“What's the fourth condition? ”

Inside the Emperor's study, Ryugo only frowned at this point - on the road, Louis XXIX did not speak, a silence rarely seen in Ryugo.

His Majesty shook his head: “Compared to the first three conditions, the fourth condition is not to say… but I do not know how much this so-called technology of giant civilization has helped me. By the way, how was [Asla White Kirin] 's analysis? ”

"It's all unraveled, but none of the researchers at the first hospital understood what was inside… except for the part about magic technology. ”

“Not at all?” Louis XXXIX was surprised.

"They say that this technology may be as simple as 1 +1 = 2, but the reality is that no one has ever instilled in them the concept of 1 +1 = 2. ”

“The crystallization of an era of civilization… a giant civilization.” Lewis XXXIX leaned on the back of his chair, "and since Limolia sank into the sea, we have been observing the development of the world on the ground in different ways. ”

“So there's no such thing as a giant civilization.” The girl spoke frankly.

“We haven't since.” His Majesty the Emperor said coldly: “We were… who knew? ”

“Are you saying that this giant civilization, perhaps before Limolia...” said Junior Girl Ryugo in shock, "is this hypothetical... or do you really think so? ”

“Consider it a simple hypothesis.” His Majesty shook his head: "It is royal training to assume the unknown need and to have the necessary skepticism before the truth. ”

The young girl Ryugo snorted and smiled: “Well said, you are the only one in the royal family since ancient times. ”

“That's why Reyes is so important.” His Majesty the Emperor sighed at this moment: “He alone is able to assimilate my bloodline… for so many generations, finally one has appeared again. ”

"It's not me, unfortunately. ”

“I'll leave it to you to teach Reyes.” His Majesty the Emperor said softly: "You are the only one who can do this… you will be in charge of the Undersea City for the next few days. ”

“Lewis.” The young girl, Ryugo, suddenly said: “You feel it too... the power that was in the negotiation room before? ”

“Strong.” His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "perhaps perfectly capable of confronting the present [Holy Armor]. ”

"If we have two equal shares of [Holy Armor] power, we may be able to…"

“You don't know the horror of [it].” His Majesty the Emperor laughed bitterly, "This is not a question of how many shares of [Holy Armor] power are equal, but [Holy Armor] is already missing something… Well, your next task is to teach Reaz, let go of everything else for a while. ”

“I don't teach people.” Girl Ryugo is indifferent: “I only kill people. ”

“You will.” Louis XXXIX looked at her… she finally turned away from the emperor's eyes, but whispered: “Come back soon...”

“I will.” Louis laughed and said.

……

……

Underwater City, in a dark room filled with various pipes on the ceiling —— the lighting uses an oil lamp made of grease from deep-sea fish, and the lights are yellow.

In this ventilated place, the flavor of light oil burning is not very good - but it's just that, after all, it's easy to detect if you use magic tools.

A group of people gathered in this not spacious space… they came out of a hollow space, at a time when there were four bodies, one of them even half-body.

“Silver Moon Witch! It was her... she planned this operation! ”

“If it weren't for Dragon Oka, we wouldn't have died so many of our companions… sixty-nine! Six hundred and sixty-nine people, only three returned alive... only the bodies of four companions were brought back! ”

“You mean we shouldn't have saved Ryuoka? ”

“If we can get him out, value! But now he hasn't rescued us. We're in so much, it's not worth it! This is already happening, so what next time? Next time the Royal Government openly executes us again, will we save or not? You told me? ”

After a long period of silence, a voice was spooked: “Unless we die, even if there is only one left, we are all going to save…, [Heavenly Fate] loses the very reason for its continued existence. ”

Everyone heard that they were making way... In the open passage, an old man with a one-eyed hunchback, at this time a young man, already wearing a black robe, with the help of a woman with a mask on her head, slowly came.

The people in the dark basement were all over the ground, and they shouted with respect: "Master Karen! ”

When the one-eyed old man slowly walked over and placed the body on the ground, he made a brief pause and then knelt on the ground, reading words, which seemed to be prayer.

Shortly afterwards, the old man stood up and looked around at the people here and said, “[Mandate] was created with the intention of freeing the people of the Undersea City from the Emperor's box, so that those of the Undersea City who became slaves could gain true freedom… this is the idea of the creation of the [Mandate] organization. All of you, when you joined the organization, knew how difficult [real history] was to confront the Emperor! I asked you at the outset whether you were ready to face them, no matter how difficult the path was, no matter how many times you had to face hardship and despair. ”

Master Karen paused and said in a loud voice: "Now, tell me what you said to me! ”

They instantly unified their movements, raised their heads to chest, covered their hearts, and vibrated, “Mission accomplished! ”

Master Karen nodded, "Remember what you once said and what you said today… Now, who's going to tell me how much we lost after this operation? ”

A man stepped out at this point and spoke very carefully about the rescue operation, how many members had been lost, how many hidden identities had been destroyed and how many supplies and positions had been taken.

The man spoke very carefully, but the atmosphere on the scene grew heavier.

Finally, the man in the report suddenly turned his head, “Master Karen, although we lost so much human and material resources to save Dragon Oka this time... but ultimately, Dragon Oka was captured by the Royal Government solely to rescue Dr. Joachiu from the underground mine! ”

“What are you trying to say?” Master Karen frowned.

“To rescue this Dr. Joachius, we have even sacrificed so many years of laying out underground mines… Master Karen, I respect every decision you make! But for the sake of a Royal Government researcher, the opportunity to save our colleagues trapped in the mine... is worth it! I need a reason! A reason for you to make such a decision! Otherwise, I don't like it! ”

“Are you questioning me?” Master Karen sighed again.

“My wife and children fell into the hands of the Royal Government as a result of my defeat," the man said with grief, "and they lived and died in underground mines. I suffer so much every day… I have never dared to let myself rest for years in order to get through the underground mines to save them! Whenever I close my eyes, I see the painful look of my wife and children being tortured, they may not have been able to hold on, or even... Master! I just want to know why! Please tell me!! ”

“This isn't even public yet... I'm sorry, please understand.” Master Karen shook his head: "It's all for our good. ”

“Then she'll tell me! ”

The man said, "Go straight ahead and grab the black masked woman next to Master Karen," you tell me! What is it for? Why are we paying so much to get Joachie out? Just because he's your husband! Say it, Kaya... ”

He tore the woman's black robe apart so hard that it was Kaya.
