Chapter 1291 Bargaining (first update)
If there was a better way, Stephanie Malik would never choose the delicate and fragile girl in front of her, because Ruby's concept was different from the human beings who received universal education from the beginning. Over the years, General Hale They kept emphasizing to Ruby how special she was and how she was going to be something big one day.Stephanie Malik knew it was the same for her past self, but her father, Gideon Malik, was more from a family perspective, clarifying her future responsibilities while she clarified her future powers.

General Hale has no family backing. Her true identity is a baby girl adopted by Hydra. She has accepted the utilitarian philosophy of the radical Hydra since she was a child. Stopping means losing value, and losing value means death.Now the worthless abandoned baby has climbed to the pinnacle of military power in the United States, but this sense of insecurity still runs through General Hale's life, so her education in Ruby is only the radical ideas of Professor Dr. Whitehall .

In her conception, if she and Ruby lose their value, the beast-like Malik family, the Lister family and other giant beasts lurking under the water will eat them up, even their bones will be wiped out. None will be left.For the only daughter she can trust in the world, she must create a perfect living environment for Ruby.General Hale's idea is not wrong. The vicious competition within Hydra is indeed very cruel, especially among the radical factions full of young and strong factions. If one's own status and interests are endangered, then the life and death of the bottom of the faction is actually irrelevant.Although the conservative Hydra is also fiercely competitive, it maintains the final bottom line and trust, because no one knows which family will prevail in the future, and maintaining the final tacit understanding is also for the survival of their own family.

Ruby's idea of ​​being limited by her environment and the limitations of human consciousness would never have changed if there hadn't been a powerful force from outside to completely destroy all the concepts she had in the past.Perhaps the emperor was aware of this, and he also thought that just an afternoon of communication would not be enough to change Ruby's mind, otherwise he would not have sent the Guards known as "half-gods" in Latvinia to come. This provides her with confidence in action—in the superstitious coastal area of ​​the Balkan Peninsula, when a guard in gorgeous gold armor appears in a village that has communicated with extremists, except for the young and middle-aged who are thoroughly involved in criminal groups, Those elderly people who do not communicate with the outside world at all will show some kind of panic, yearning and admiration for the appearance of the Praetorian Guards.

This is the real situation written in the observation file, which is used as the material for the psychological research of the Order of the Praetorians.

More than once, Konstantin endured those old people who worked all day and touched his cloak and armor with hands with dark, broken nails and innumerable wrinkles, and endured the irritability and ignorance of being called "angels".After that, the Imperial Guards will be able to learn information such as how many strangers have recently come to the village and who they are related to through the old people who stay in the village.Although Ruby did not have such superstitions, when Stephanie Malik gave her the exquisite pendant and stated that it was a gift and communicator from the emperor, her performance was no better than those who had not been shrouded in the light of science. Where are the peasant women going?

The eldest lady of the Malik family took the opportunity to pat Amon's arm armor (this is a position that her height can barely reach), and signaled Amon to read the emperor's order at this time.While Ruby was taking a bath, Stephanie Malik persuaded Amon to accept this method. If he acted according to the idea of ​​the Imperial Guard, maybe everyone in this base would die under the spear of the guard to complete the task. Don't even think about it.

When the Imperial Guard spoke, although Ruby's body was still tense, she was no longer flustered as before.

"Can you swear that you will swing your blade against all traitors who betray the interests of the human race?"

"I swear." Ruby said firmly.

"What if the traitor is your mother?"

Facing the question from the Praetorian Guards, Ruby was shocked, but she nodded after a few seconds, trying to puff her chest out to prove her ability and determination.Stephanie Malik and Amon looked at each other, shook their heads, and then Amon took out a box of alloy scroll cases that were as long as an arm for ordinary people, with a golden eagle emblem and a mysterious scroll case on it. Number, this is one of the several scroll boxes brought by Amon.

"Put your finger on it." Amon pointed to a screen on the locked scroll box and said, "It may be a little painful, because the genetic information collected from you forms the genetic code. You will open and read the scroll in front of me The task on it is then re-sealed, and no one can open it except you."

Ruby frowned, enduring the slight pain of being pricked by her fingertips.After obtaining the genetic data, the negative pressure environment inside the scroll box immediately made a hissing sound of inhalation.The long scroll was filled with beautifully formed Latin, which happened to be in Ruby's class. "My mother betrayed humans to the Cree?" Ruby still couldn't believe it after seeing the task, "It's impossible!"

"I know this is hard to convince, because General Hale has always thought he was doing the right thing." Amon said in a deep voice, "The emperor needs you to use that pendant to send information, only in this way can we stop the situation from getting worse." .”

"Why don't you tell her the truth now?" Ruby was a little annoyed. She clenched the parchment tightly, and the sweat from her palms soaked the edges of the paper. "You can tell her now that the Kree people are all liars!"

"It's not that simple, girl." Stephanie Malik sighed, "General Hale contacted the Kree Hawks' hunting force, following the Kree Empire's hunting traditions, and some of the things she learned The intelligence was intercepted and judged by us, and we found that there are many intelligences about aliens that are not wrong. The targets of the Cree on the earth are not only human beings but also their alien enemies. For us, as long as they are aliens, they are enemies. It's just that there is a difference in the priority of extermination. The enemies that the Cree want to hunt are very cunning and can cause far more damage than that hunting team, so we need to obtain as much information as possible. As long as you can For completing the mission, General Hale will not be punished for contacting the Cree, but will be rewarded instead. This is a white lie, Ruby, General Hale's future is in your hands."

"really?"

"On the honor of the Malik family." Stephanie Malik blinked and said, "Now is the time for you to make a decision, Ruby. Do you choose to be ignorant to the end, or choose to walk with the interests of the human race? "

"I...I will do it." Although she felt very uncomfortable, the sense of mission that followed flooded Ruby's mind.General Hale's education has made her look forward to the day when she will take on important responsibilities, but this responsibility does not come from General Hale himself. "I hope that my mother and I will be rewarded, and more than expected, as the price of her being deceived. And I also need you to create the conditions that will allow me to leave here, and provide me with all useful assistance in my mission . When I came here, I heard from the soldiers on guard that you came here in a forward-swept wing fighter that I have never seen before, and I think my mission deserves to add another aircraft like that."

"That's about the same. If you didn't say it, I thought General Hale's daughter would be a fool." Stephanie smiled and nodded, and now she has a little more confidence in Ruby.Hydra trusts selfish people because that's predictable, selfless people are the hardest to predict because they don't make choices for their own benefit.This is why Gideon Malik has never been able to figure out the emperor's thoughts. All the emperor's actions have exceeded Hydra's expectations, but obviously Ruby has no such thoughts. "Deal. After the task is completed, he will personally meet with you and General Hale, and then you will be able to get everything you want."

"This is a promise made by my lord." Amon said, "I suggest you think about your own wishes first."
