Outside the palace, there is peace, and inside the palace, everything is orderly.
The four sat on two facing sofas, eating vanilla-flavored ice cream together.
"The technology of ice cream was brought by a former friend of mine on the ground." Louis XXXIX put down the spoon, "It's a pity that this friend passed away a few days ago... It was also his subordinates who were guests in the underwater city. know about it."
At this time, it is enough to say condolences.
Boss Luo also stopped his hands, and said in admiration, "No wonder the ice cream trucks are sold out so quickly every time. It seems that it's not just because of the only product, but the taste is also unforgettable."
Even the maid lady ate up her portion, which was obviously a high degree of approval for His Majesty's craftsmanship.
At this time, the maid lady brought a handkerchief and asked Boss Luo to wipe his mouth... The girl Ryuge on the opposite side was doing the same thing.
"Let's talk about the business." Louis XXXIX put down the handkerchief, and said directly: "Reyaz's [Flying Tuo], did you help transform it?"
"Yes." Boss Luo also nodded directly.
His Majesty the Emperor said more directly: "I am very interested in this technology. I wonder if you are interested in transferring it to me."
Boss Luo casually said, "I don't know if His Majesty's so-called transfer is a buyout, or simply learning?"
His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while and said, "What is the price for buying out? What is the price for learning?"
"Sell me the White Tower, and this technology can be sold to you relatively outright." Boss Luo also thought for a while and said: "If you just want to learn... use the [Holy Armor] that this lady used before technology exchange."
"Heh..." the girl Liuge sneered when she heard the words, "It's really asking for a lot of money... Are you really a businessman?"
Boss Luo was indifferent... His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, signaling Liu Ge to be quiet for the time being.
Louis XXXIX looked at Luo Qiu and said slowly: "I can't sell the White Tower. As for the Holy Armor technology... this is one of the top secrets of the Undersea City. Are you sure it can only be used in exchange for your technology?"
"Giant energy, the ability of the soul and the machine to co-exist, was also the crystallization of technology in a certain civilization era." The maid said indifferently: "The civilization of Lemuria, the age of magic energy, is also an era... between the two sides. Time, there is not much difference, why can't they be exchanged."
"Ju Neng?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned, thinking, "I'm afraid I'm ignorant... I've never heard of a civilization like Ju Neng."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Currently, all countries in the world on the ground only regard the Undersea City as a fantasy legend."
His Majesty the Emperor shook his head, but said again: "Why buy out?"
Boss Luo said: "Until other customers bid lower than the White Tower, we will not sell this technology to third parties."
black heart!
This is the girl Ryuge's dissatisfaction in a low voice, a muttering sound.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled wryly and said, "I said, I can't give up the White Tower... As for the production technology of [Sacred Armor], to be honest, I can't announce it. If possible, I hope you can change another condition." .”
Of course, it cannot be just the production technology of [Sacred Armor]. If it is only to learn the technology of [Soul and Machine Symbiosis] of the giant civilization, under the list of the altar, there are many things that can be used for trading in the seabed city.
For example, directly exchange souls... The underwater city has a population of 9 million.
When this also revealed a piece of free information to Luo Qiu from the side: this underwater city completely belongs to King Louis XXXIX...the seabed city has a population of nine million, and their lives and even their souls are all regarded as completely belonging to King Louis XXXIX. The private property of the IX.
This is the judgment of the altar.
"In that case..." Boss Luo said again at this time: "If you can give me twenty of yesterday's black balls, that's fine too."
At this moment, the girl Liuge narrowed her eyes... Murderous intent instantly filled every part of the room.
But in the next moment, a fierce killing intent a hundred times stronger than the girl's murderous intent was like a volcanic eruption... The huge waves instantly submerged the waves in the lake.
The young girl Liuge's face turned pale.
The maid, however, picked up the teacup calmly, as if nothing had happened.
His Majesty the Emperor saw these things in his eyes... It's just that his expression was calm, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart. He let out a slow breath again, shook his head and said, "One more condition."
"You cede two million people to me." Boss Luo vaguely said the third different condition, and then the fourth condition directly: "Or..."
"Or what?" His Majesty's eyes were fixed... The third condition had already caused an unnatural change in his calm expression. As for the fourth optional condition
Boss Luo didn't speak, he just glanced at His Majesty the Emperor.
In an instant, Louis XXXIX's expression changed slightly again... He took a deep look at the other party, and then fell silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "It seems that our first negotiation was not a success."
"It doesn't matter." Boss Luo said casually: "The business may not be able to be negotiated the first time... Both parties have their own things to consider."
"Ryuge." His Majesty the Emperor ordered at this time: "Give these two guests the treatment of state guests, and greet them well during this time, so don't neglect them."
Perhaps it was because of some kind of confrontation a while ago, the girl in the silver robe was much quieter now... she nodded silently.
After that, Louis XXXIX left the negotiation room with the young girl Liu Ge... As for Boss Luo and the maid, they were arranged to live in a separate courtyard of the palace.
Interestingly, Reyaz was also being arranged in this other courtyard at this time.
…
"What's the fourth condition?"
In the emperor's study, Liu Ge didn't frowned until now, and Louis XXXIX didn't speak during the journey, which was a kind of silence that Liu Ge rarely saw.
His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said, "Compared to the first three conditions, it's okay to leave out the fourth condition... But I don't know how much this so-called powerful civilization technology will help me. By the way, [Ah] How about the analysis of Sla Bai Qilin?"
The girl Liu Ge shook her head and said, "It's all taken apart, but none of the researchers from the First Academy can understand what's inside...except for the part about magic technology."
"Not at all?" Louis XXXIX said in surprise.
Liu Ge said with a wry smile: "They said that this technology might be as simple as 1+1=2, but the reality is that no one has ever taught them the concept of 1+1=2."
"The crystallization of an era of civilization...a giant civilization." Louis Thirty-Nine leaned back in his chair, "Since Lemuria sank into the sea, we have been observing the development of the above-ground world through different methods."
"So, there is no giant civilization at all." The girl said bluntly.
"Not after us." His Majesty the Emperor said abruptly, "Before us... who knows."
"You mean, this giant civilization may have been before Lemuria..." the girl Liu Ge couldn't help but said in surprise, "Is this a hypothesis... or do you really think so?"
"Treat it as a pure hypothesis." His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said, "Assumptions are required for the unknown, and skepticism is necessary before the truth. This is the imperial family's training."
The young girl Liu Ge snorted and said with a sneer: "It's nice to say, this royal family has only you since ancient times."
"That's why Reyaz is so important." His Majesty the Emperor sighed at this moment: "Only he can assimilate my bloodline... After so many generations, one finally appeared again."
At this time, the girl Liu Ge said faintly: "It's a pity it's not me."
"I will leave it to you to teach Reyaz." His Majesty said softly, "Only you can do this... The next few days of the Undersea City will be left to you."
"Louis." The girl Liu Ge suddenly said, "You can also feel it... the power in the negotiation room before?"
"Very strong." His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "Perhaps it can completely compete with the current [Holy Armor]."
The girl Liu Ge whispered: "If we have two equal [Holy Armor] powers, maybe we can..."
"You don't know the horror of [it]." His Majesty the Emperor smiled wryly, "It's not a question of how many shares are equal to the [Holy Armor]'s power, but a question of the lack of [Holy Armor]... Okay, you The next task is to teach Reyaz well, let’s put everything else aside for now.”
"I don't know how to teach people." The girl Liu Ge said indifferently: "I can only kill people."
"You will." Louis XXXIX stared at her... After all, she couldn't meet the emperor's gaze, turned her head away, but whispered: "Come back soon..."
"I will." Louis said with a smile.
…
…
Undersea City, a dark room with various pipes on the ceiling. The lighting here is an oil lamp made of lamp oil boiled from the fat of deep-sea fish. The light is yellowish.
In this place where the ventilation is not very good, the smell of burning lamp oil is not very good, but that's all. After all, if you use magic tools, it will be easy to detect.
A group of people gathered in this not-so-spacious space... There was an open space among them. At this time, four corpses were placed on the open space, and one of the corpses was only half of the body.
"The Silver Moon Witch! It's her...she planned this operation!"
"If it wasn't for rescuing Longgang, we wouldn't have killed so many companions... sixty-nine people! A total of sixty-nine people, only three came back alive... only the bodies of four companions were brought back!"
"You mean, we shouldn't save Longgang?"
"If he can be rescued, it's worth it! But now he hasn't been rescued, we've put in so much, it's not worth it! This time it's already like this, so what about the next time? Next time, if the kingdom government executes the execution publicly again, should we save him or not?" Help? Tell me?!"
After a long silence, a voice said faintly: "Unless we die, even if there is only the last one left, we have to save... Otherwise, the [Mandate of Heaven] organization will lose its fundamental reason for continuing to exist."
Hearing the words, everyone moved out of the way... In the passageway to get out of the way, a one-eyed, hunchbacked old man, with the help of a young man and another woman in a black robe and a hooded head, Come slowly.
Everyone in the dark basement lowered their heads one after another, and shouted respectfully in unison: "Master Karen!"
The one-eyed old man walked slowly, and when he passed the place where the corpse was placed on the ground, he paused for a while, then knelt on the ground, muttering words, as if he was praying.
After a while, the old man stood up, looked around at the people here, and said in a deep voice: "The original intention of [Destiny] was to liberate the people in the Undersea City from the emperor's box, and let those who become slaves People in the seabed city can gain real freedom... This is the concept of the founding of the [Mandate of Heaven] organization. All of you, when you join the organization, will know the [true history] and understand [Mandate of Heaven] and the emperor better. The confrontation is such a difficult road! I asked you at the beginning, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how many times you have to face difficulties and despair, are you ready to face them? "
Master Karen paused, and then said loudly: "Now, tell me, how did you answer me back then!"
They moved in unison in an instant, held their heads high, covered their hearts with their hands, and responded with vibrating voices: "The mission must be accomplished!"
Master Karen nodded, "Remember what you said before and today... Now, who will tell me how much we have lost after this operation?"
A man walked out quickly at this time, talking carefully about how many members were lost in this rescue operation, how many hidden identities were destroyed, and the materials and strongholds.
The man spoke very carefully, but the atmosphere at the scene became more and more heavy.
Finally, the man who made the report suddenly changed the topic, "Master Karen, although we lost so much manpower and material resources this time to save Longgang... But in the final analysis, the reason why Longgang was arrested by the Kingdom government , it’s all about rescuing Dr. Yoashu from the underground mine!”
"What do you want to say?" Master Karen frowned.
"In order to save this Dr. Joachim, we even sacrificed the layout of the underground mine for so many years... Master Karen, I respect every decision you make! However, for the sake of a researcher of the Royal Government, we gave up the ability to save Dr. The opportunity of our companions trapped in the mine... is it worth it! I need a reason! A reason for you to make such a decision! Otherwise, I will not accept it!"
"Are you questioning me?" Master Karen said again in a deep voice.
The man said sadly: "My wife and children have fallen into the hands of the royal government because of my exposure. They are in the underground mine, and their life and death are uncertain. I suffer every day... In order to open the underground mine and save them, In the past few years, I have never dared to let myself rest! Whenever I close my eyes, I seem to see the painful expressions of my wife and children who have been tortured. They may have been unable to hold on, or even... Master! I just want to know why !please tell me!!"
"This matter has not yet been announced... I'm sorry, please understand." Master Karen shook his head: "This and everything are for our righteousness."
"Then let her tell me!"
After finishing speaking, the man rushed forward and grabbed the black-robed masked woman next to Master Karen, "Tell me! What is it for? Why do we have to pay such a heavy price to rescue Yoah?" Fix it! Just because he is your husband! Tell me! Kaiya!"
He tore open the woman's black robe forcefully, it was Kaia.
