Chapter 921 Drama and Chaotic History
Chapter 921 Drama and chaotic history
In fact, I feel that visiting Sylvia’s little dessert shop with Shandora is not a wise choice, because I obviously accidentally forgot the possible consequences of the strange slowness of the silver-haired mole——
The guy didn't know how long it would take to prepare the snacks to feed Sandora, but Sandora would have easily starved herself to death before that. Of course, it is more likely that Shandora will sweep over and demolish Sylvia's shop.
Well, we're already at the door of the store anyway, so there's no point thinking about it.
"Dingling bells..." The sweet sound of wind chimes rang as the glass door of the shop was pushed open. Sandora and I walked into this always quiet dessert shop and found that the inside of the shop was as expected. No one.
Sylvia's dessert shop usually has few customers. This is because that stupid silver-haired mole opened the shop in a military blockade. She has special permissions, so there is no problem at all. , but the ordinary residents of the Shadow City dare not approach the military blockade without incident, and the Shadow Fortress closest to here is full of imperial soldiers and the like. How can there be customers who often visit the dessert shop? On weekdays, there are only two kinds of customers that Sylvia can expect. One is the students of the Military Academy, especially the Misaka sisters. They will occasionally come to buy desserts, but the Military Academy is also quite far away from here, so the Misakas come here. The number of times is very small, and the other is a few mass-produced hosts in the base. It may be due to some logical mutations that are currently unexplained. There are some mass-produced Xiling hosts in Shadow Fortress that behave like other mass-produced hosts. The sisters are different. They are interested in desserts and are the only regular customers of Sylvia's shop.
But no one will come at this time.
Sylvia's small store is like a haven from the world. Even though it is opened in a nerve-wracking place like a military blockade, there is always a soothing and peaceful atmosphere here. The small store is cleaned spotlessly. , the windows facing the exit of the street were bright and clear, and the gentle sunshine poured into this neat little shop from the windows, making the elves of light jump happily on every small table and round chair. The sound of wind chimes that sounded at that moment not only did not Breaking the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere here, it filled the surroundings with a warm and leisurely atmosphere.
Behind the long counter facing the store door, a girl with long silver hair was hopping and wiping the high glass closet. In the closet were some of the shop's most proud special snacks. Although Sylvia was tall, It's not low, but it obviously requires hard work to wipe the top of the closet. She can only jump up and down to complete this arduous task. The girl's clumsy movements and the "Hey" sounds that encourage her from time to time make her feel uncomfortable. People found it a bit funny, but Sylvia herself didn't realize it. She was just immersed in her fulfilling work, with her skirt flying.
"Shall we tell her the ladder is against the wall next to it?"
Sandora tugged on my arm and whispered.
"There's a good chance it'll fall."
I thought about it and answered in the affirmative.
Then Sandora stopped talking.
Sylvia's ears are very good. She must have heard the ringing of wind chimes at the door just now, so Sandora and I found a seat near the door and sat down by the window, waiting for Sylvia's reaction. come over.
I'm worried that Sandora will be so hungry that she goes berserk before Sylvia reacts, because I really don't think much of the mole's reflex arc. In fact, sometimes I'm a little doubtful of Sylvia's slow reflexes. Is it the result of nerves connecting all the mass-produced raven reflex arcs together? Because no matter how you look at it, her normal temperament has been incredibly slow. Fortunately, Sylvia was relatively quick this time. Just when Sandora was about to bite the table in front of her, she finally realized that a customer had arrived in the store, so she stopped jumping in front of the closet and looked at her. Turning around with a smile, he said slowly and softly: "Ah, there are guests - eh? It's you -"
To talk to Sylvia, you have to be willing to live. The only good thing is that her slow tone is very comfortable to listen to, and it won't make you anxious. I pointed at Sandora and said The hurried tone put this urgent question in front of Sylvia: "Don't say anything. Sandora is hungry. Prepare some hungry snacks for her first... Come on, don't prepare them, just take them ready-made." Just the one inside the counter will be fine...forget it, I'll get it myself..."
I had already finished speaking before Sylvia could react. Considering that Sandora might start biting when this guy brought the snacks, I decisively said hello to her and went to the counter to move things out. After a while, Sylvia said with a smile: "Ah - Chen, you are really impatient."
By this time Sandora had already started licking the fourth plate.
"Would you like something to drink?" After a while, Sylvia placed a lighter pastry in front of me, and asked calmly with a warm smile on her face.
"Get whatever you want," I said while glancing at Sandora who was devouring her food. "Give her a glass of orange juice before this girl chokes to death."
While Sylvia went to prepare the drinks, I couldn't help but glance at Shandora: "Hey, no one is trying to compete with you, eat slowly."
"The most perfect way to enjoy dessert is to eat it within three bites!" Sandora replied without raising her head. Although she was eating very fast, the amazing thing was that her appearance and ability to speak clearly were not affected at all. , I think Shandora who is sweeping across the dinner table like this is the cutest one. The happy look on her face and her undefensive behavior in front of the people she trusts all exude a sense of cuteness, and there is also the stain on the corner of her mouth. That little bit of cream - I wiped the corners of her mouth with it, as if taking care of a little girl. This action must be fast and accurate, because if you react a little slowly, you may be bitten. You can refer to this action The difficulty factor of rescuing a cricket from a set of high-speed rotating gears is at least 9.0, so I think I am the only one who can wipe Sandora's face while she eats.
"The relationship is so good," Sylvia's voice came from the side. The silver-haired girl placed two drinks in front of us, and her eyes swept between me and Sandora, "You are showing off in front of me. ?"
I was about to take a sip of my drink when I suddenly felt something was wrong, and then I suddenly realized that Sylvia seemed to be speaking smoothly just now.
"Bella Vera?" I looked at the silver-haired girl who had sat down next to me in surprise and was eating the guests' snacks by herself. She also blatantly drank Shandora's and mine's drinks from time to time. She looked like that now. There is a world of difference between the timid and slow silver-haired mole, and I immediately recognized that this should be another personality in Sylvia's soul: the former fallen emperor Belavera had awakened.
Sandora swallowed the food in her mouth and looked directly at Hill...Bella Vera, her tone full of curiosity: "You can wake up freely?"
"Sylvia woke me up," Bellavilla snapped her fingers and directly transferred the snacks on the counter behind to the table in front of Shandora. She also replaced the empty plates and looked at them with a playful look. Looking at the latter, "It's you, I don't think Emperor Xiling can eat all the food in his face."
"When my lover is by my side, it is my privilege to eat food all over my face," Shandora waved her hand indifferently, "It's just a small interaction between me and Arjun."
"Hey, I said you two were showing off in front of me," Bellavera glanced at both of us. He was completely different from the honest and slow Sylvia. This guy was a very talkative and slightly shady royal. Sister, she is a nice person, "Did you encounter some trouble in another world?"
I knew that Bella Vera must have some purpose for waking up. Although she said that she was awakened by Sylvia, how would that silver-haired mole, who is not very smart, know when to wake up without the hint from the former? Wake her up. Now it seems that Bellavilla is interested in our battle in the ruined world.
"Fought a battle with your former colleagues," Sandora didn't hide anything. She told Bellavilla about the encounter that took place in the ruined world as simply as possible. Although the other party was once a fallen apostle, he has now become a fallen apostle. He has killed his own people, and he has made such great contributions in the Great Nebula, so he is trustworthy. "Although we won in the end, there were a lot of losses in the battle. We are now working hard to repair those battleships and replenish the source of new troops. By the way, Now that you're awake, there are some things you might know."
Sandora said, opening a holographic projection in mid-air, and what emerged from the projection was a black and red military emblem. This military emblem was the mark of the fallen apostle battleship that was fighting fiercely with the emperor at that time.
"Do you know me?" Sandora looked at Bellavilla with hope, "You used to have a low status in the Fallen Apostles Legion. Which army is this sign? In the entire Fallen Apostles Legion, its size is How big is it? What status does it occupy?"
Sandora's questions are what we are eager to know now. We must roughly infer the balance of power between the fallen apostles and the current new empire, and the breaking point is the enemy fleet that fought fiercely with the emperor in the ruined world. Although Lin Xue used her prophecy ability to roughly judge that the opponent belonged to a relatively large force in the entire fallen apostle camp, but their more detailed situation was not so easy to predict.
In contrast, Bella Vera is more likely to have accurate information.
"Harlan and Zadom's mixed third army." Belavera casually glanced at the holographic projection in mid-air while eating snacks. "This is not surprising. The two of them annexed several The small army, after reorganizing the army, became the most active military force in the Fallen Apostles camp. They were present in basically every large-scale external operation, and Harlan was also a speculator...unexpected surprise attacks and various high risks. He is the first to rush into high-reward actions.”
Bella Vera really knows!
I suddenly became excited. Belavera's awakening was so timely. It seems that our intelligence breakthrough on the fallen apostles will ultimately depend on the former fallen emperor.
"Harlan? Zadom?" Because I heard two unfamiliar names, I couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are they both emperors too?"
If the opponents are two emperor-level fallen apostles, then it may become a matter of course to encounter an enemy raid of that scale in the ruined world, and that battle can be said to be very dangerous. In this way, these two people are definitely very troublesome. of enemies. There were suddenly two more enemies, and one of them was an emperor. Even though I had known for a long time that the fallen apostles were definitely a huge threat, I still felt a headache.
"Only Haran is the emperor, and Zadom is the most powerful general under Haran," Bellavilla said in a deep voice, "It's a bit tricky. Haran was a very powerful Xiling Emperor before he became a fallen apostle. With so many abilities, almost no one knows what all his powers are like. Zadom is a war madman like Pandora. He is used to being fully armed at all times. Of course, no matter how powerful an individual's power is, there is a limit. , the most dangerous thing about these two people is their army... The mixed third army has a huge number, amazing combat effectiveness, and has the largest production base. It is also an important army in the fallen apostle camp. They suffered heavy losses in this battle. , but Harlan and Zadom themselves did not appear on the battlefield, which means that you still failed to destroy their core, so maybe it won’t be long before these two people make a comeback... Well, it’s a bit strange, Zado Mu often appears on the battlefield in person, but this time he didn’t even show up..."
Bellavilla frowned slightly as he spoke, "Based on your descriptions and my last memory, I can infer that Emperor Hua Di basically defeated half of Haran's army this time, even in the entire fallen apostle camp. Very serious battle damage. That guy Harlan became a complete speculator after his fall. He carried out such a high-risk action to ensure a higher return, but in the end what he wanted to rob was just the wreckage of a battleship? What's so special about that wreckage that it deserves his massive effort?"
"Then take a look at this again. This is the emblem we got from the ruined world, the emblem left by the emperor who fought with Viska 700,000 years ago." I remembered that I wanted to ask Bellavilla before, but just now I didn't think of anything for a moment, so I took out the armor fragment with the golden ring mark from the portable space. "The wreckage of the battleship that I snatched also has the same mark. Can you recognize it?"
"This?" Bellavilla's eyes widened suddenly, staring closely at the metal fragment in my hand, "That guy... Sure enough, it seems that Harlan came here just for the wreckage. This is really dramatic - —Who do you think this belongs to?"
Shandora and I didn't talk and just stared at Bellavilla to see how long this guy with a bit of a bad personality could hold it in. In the end, Bellavilla surrendered within half a minute: "Okay, okay, you guys." The two of you are really in love with each other - let me surprise you. This emblem is not the emblem of the main fleet of the empire, but belongs to a special force, and the leader of this force is...Occam."
When Belavera finished speaking, Shandora and I were stunned.
"Occam?" I gaped at the metal fragment in my hand, "The one that died in the Temple Archives?"
Bellavilla nodded: "That's him. One of the top chief scientists in the old empire. This emblem is unique to his army. I will never admit it wrong."
"A private army of scientists?" I felt incredible. "And it was so large that it could defeat Viska's Legion of Destruction. Was Occam engaged in scientific research or military power?"
This is incredible. I have made many guesses about this golden ring mark before, but I never thought that it turned out to be the emblem of Occam, the cunning fallen apostle who was killed by me in the Templar Library. After he died, It is still lingering and persists in causing all kinds of troubles to itself. What is even more incredible is that Occam is obviously a scientist, but he actually had a huge fleet in the old empire era! Viska's Legion of Destruction was defeated by his fleet. What does this mean?
Scientists know martial arts, and even gangsters can't stop them, but Occam has a fleet, which counts as many gangsters squared.
"Under normal circumstances, scientific researchers are not interested in the military, nor do they have their own legion directly under them, nor do they have their own legion logo, but this is just a general situation," Bella Villa took the metal fragment from my hand. , showing an expression of recollection, "There are some scientists in the old empire who are a different kind of people. They have two identities, researchers and military commanders. This is not contradictory, because the course of action of the Xiling Apostle is to take racial interests and victory as the basis. First of all, as long as they have the ability to win, scientists can also become military commanders. In many cases, armies led by scientific researchers will have more powerful combat effectiveness, because they always place all kinds of dangerous verification weapons without any scruples. Battleships, as long as they can get first-hand new weapon data, they dare to challenge any battlefield environment, and Occam is a typical example..."
I deeply agree with Bella Villa’s statement. I have seen the lower limit of scientific research of Xiling technicians. Monster spaceships like the Eternal Class and Pandora’s single-soldier fortress arsenal are their masterpieces. These guys are doing this. Edison's life has Hitler's heart. The data shows that most of the imperial scientists' laboratories have the same alert level as the Abyss Front. They like to have a big explosion in their own research institutes. In fact, I always thought that Tavel used a lot of One of the important reasons why Mass Projection is running around is to save the time needed to resurrect herself. Many of her researches are too crazy...
Bellavilla was silent for a few seconds, seeming to be recalling what happened a long time ago, and then handed the piece of metal back to my hand: "A long time ago, in the era of the old empire, Ockham's army once suffered heavy losses and returned. , almost two-thirds of it was damaged, and it is said that one of his most important scientific research ships was also lost. At that time, the incident caused a huge impact in the 103rd District. Even I heard about it. Thinking about it now, maybe that was the first time he and Little Viska met... It was precisely because of that huge loss that Occam's army never recovered until the catastrophe occurred and the old empire collapsed. The old troops simply reorganized with me and Savi’s army and disappeared to find traces. You see, I said, this is simply too dramatic."
"Wait a minute," I felt like my head was as big as a bucket, and I quickly waved my hand to stop. "It's a bit confusing - in chronological order, the old empire was still there 700,000 years ago, and Occam was a man with an army. scientist, and then he encountered Viska's Legion of Destruction in the ruined world. The two fought fiercely, and the Legion of Destruction was defeated. Occam's Legion was depleted by one-third and then evacuated. After that, he never had the chance to rebuild the Legion. Soon The old empire suffered a disaster and the abyss broke out. He, you, Savi and others were transformed into fallen apostles. Occam's remaining army was incorporated by you, so Occam's legion was removed. Later, Viska mistakenly I was accidentally caught by the fallen apostle, and was infected by the abyss. I became a member of your camp and was with the three of you... Then the problem came. Occam didn’t know Visca, and neither did Visca. I remember where I’ve seen this emblem before! What’s going on?”
