The Hall of the Twelve Lords, in Ben's office. Outside the window, Asgard's sky has already simulated a sapphire blue night sky based on the calculation of the central brain. The shining stars dot the sky, forming a magnificent Milky Way.
Ben shook the red wine in his arms and looked at the sky thoughtfully.
The elevator sounded "ding", and Cario in military uniform strode in, biting a cigar: "Old man, are you still here? Sol and the others are looking for you everywhere. It's time to go to the auditorium. The celebration will be fast." It's started, and you still have to preside over the launching ceremony of the fireworks."
Callio's voice was loud, like a series of cannonballs ringing in Ben's ears. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Old friend, do you think we have been in peace for too long, and our bodies and minds have become dull. We have forgotten the cruelty of war, so we anesthetize ourselves with beautiful illusions?"
Cario frowned and said, "Don't talk to me like a poet. What's wrong with you, you suddenly have so many thoughts."
"Zero and the passers-by who were coming back were attacked." Ben turned around and said lightly.
Kario's face changed, he took down the cigar in his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Who did it?"
"I asked Zero, the ones who attacked them were just miscellaneous fish, and it should be to test their strength."
"Will it be Ogg's people?"
Ben shook his head: "Probably not. If it was Ogg, he would be close to sending high-level blood knights to carry out a devastating attack. You should know him, Ogg will never do unnecessary things. He disdains such methods as probing, and he also won't do it."
Kario held it with his big hand, and when he let go, the cigar had turned to ashes: "I see, you mean, the one who attacked Zero was from Asgard. Who could it be? The Helben family? The Black Rose family Or the Plannings?"
Ben sat on the big chair, shook his head and said, "It's not like the three giants did it, because there is no reason. Even if Zero and the others have made great achievements this time, it will not hinder them to be promoted to the Holy Spirit according to the schedule. This kind of fighter with military exploits is exactly what they recruit. Assassinating Zero will do them harm but no benefit."
"Then the only ones left are the people from our military department? But we people..." Cario hesitated.
"Remember the last time Zero and their graduation assessment, the people who belonged to the wilderness chaebol were sent over, but we didn't notice anything. And the false order issued by the headquarters?" Ben said with a cold light in his eyes: "So we're all getting old, whether you or Paul, we've all become dull. Of course we don't have any problems, but the problem is that there are not only you, but also a group of young people in the headquarters. active."
Kario's face changed, and he lost his voice: "You suspect Sol and the others? But they..."
"I have lived in Asgard since I was a child. I know, but old friends, people will change. And young people are always impulsive. And impulsive, it is inevitable that they will do wrong things." Ben turned his index finger on a The golden ring, he said lightly: "Among Sol and the others, the only one who can be trusted is Valkyrie. As for the others, old friend, you should investigate for me. No matter who it is, let I know they did something wrong, and I will teach him a lesson he will never forget!"
Cario lowered his head, Ben always looked like a nice guy. But Cario knew that the founder of the Hall of Valor was not a bad old man. In the great war that year, Ben was not as active on the battlefield as Cario and Paul. But he, who is in the rear and directs the battle, is Oglok's most feared opponent.
When Ben ordered to investigate his adopted son, Cario seemed to see the former comrade-in-arms known as "Falcon" come back to life.
When the dark clouds surged in the hall of the Twelve Main Gods, Zero was busy in the apartment. Although it has not been announced yet, he has been confirmed to be promoted from Warrior to Holy Spirit before Zero returns.
In Asgard, the Holy Spirit is already an upper-middle-class figure. This means that Zero can own a piece of Asgard's subsidiary territory and set up his own private guard. His property rights will be protected by Asgard's laws, and he has the power of life and death over civilians.
As for the benefits brought by the promotion, the most intuitive manifestation is that Zero has changed from a small dormitory in Doomhammer to an independent three-story apartment, and there are two maids in the apartment.
This is Zero's first real house in Asgard, and will remain private for as long as Zero is alive. Until Zero died of natural old age or in battle, Asgard would take back the apartment and give it to a second person who was eligible to live in it.
After Zero was sent to the apartment, he was urged to change clothes and take a shower. What he and others are going to attend tonight is a night banquet of the high society in Asgard, and everything from clothing to etiquette must be sloppy. For this reason, Ben specifically ordered Valkyrie to prepare everything for zero.
So Valkyrie called an old man and a woman. The old man is an expert in etiquette, responsible for designing all the etiquette gestures, expressions, etc. that Zero may use tonight. The woman is a master tailor. She directly brought a set of dresses to Zero, and planned to directly use this set of dresses as a prototype after Zero took a bath, and use draping to transform it into a suitable style.
As for Zero himself, he is currently being stripped naked by two young and beautiful maids, serving him to take a bath.
Zero is really not used to someone helping to wipe his body even in the shower, especially when the two girls are also naked, there will inevitably be close physical contact during the period, making Zero's male symbol stand upright, and the two girls' hearts are beating endlessly.
As Zero's maids, if Zero wants them, they have no right to resist at all. Or in other words, for a quasi-noble who can serve a young and prestigious person like Zero, they have no idea of resisting at all. If Ling is happy and let them become the hostess of this apartment, then they can bid farewell to the status of slaves and at least have the rights of free citizens.
This is the fate of people without any abilities. The emergence of capable people cruelly widens the distance between classes. Under the power of capable people, ordinary people don't have the so-called democracy at all, and even if they do, it's given by the capable people.
Just like now, the two girls not only wiped Zero's body carefully, but also touched Zero with their young bodies intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, it is impossible for Ling who is going to attend the banquet to spend time on them, but after returning from the party, Ling still has a lot of time, doesn't he
In the midst of such eclectic harassment, when Ling returned to the bedroom wearing a bathrobe, the tent that was set up was still high, and the master tailor could not help but whistle. This is even more uncomfortable than having Zero face Ymir, and what makes Zero even more uncomfortable is that the old woman glared at him and said, "Take off the bathrobe!"
Zero immediately widened his eyes, and he was even a little angry.
The old woman said disdainfully: "Hurry up, kid, we're in a hurry. Besides, you men are only special about that thing. I, Yishalan, don't see much of it!"
Hearing this, Zero suddenly lost his breath, so he had to take off his bathrobe, revealing a perfect body that could make a woman scream.
