Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

"Roselle is back from resurrection?"

Ao Dai's eyes flickered, and she immediately had corresponding suspicions in her heart.

Although this matter is just a rumor and has not been confirmed, since Xio specifically mentioned it, it means that it is most likely true.

And Audrey has also realized the seriousness of this matter - if Emperor Russell is really resurrected, then it will not be him who is resurrected, but 'him', a Sequence 0 true god!
As the 'Caesar' who once single-handedly established the Intis Republic and the Intis Empire, now that the emperor has returned from resurrection, he will definitely want to regain the power he once had and rebuild the Intis Empire.But this will inevitably lead to the demise of the Second Republic of Intis, which has lasted for more than a century.

This is obviously unacceptable to the current people in power in the Intis Republic. From the governors and parliamentarians to the businessmen and nobles, they will all oppose Russell's restoration.But in the presence of a true God, these people’s objections mean nothing.Even if they were planning some conspiracies in secret, it was just an egg hitting a stone. Emperor Russell could kill them all.

For a true God, this is not difficult.

And the only one who can stop Emperor Russell in this matter is probably the Church of Steam.

Although the reason why the Church of Steam can reach such a huge scale is due to the steam engine invented by Emperor Russell and the various epoch-making ideas he proposed, combined with the feud between Emperor Russell and the Church of Steam in his later years, it cannot be ignored. It is difficult to conclude that the Church of Steam does not actually want Emperor Russell to return to power.

After all, today's Republic of Intis is completely dominated by the Church of Steam, and Russell's return will change this situation, and the Church of Steam will definitely not want to have a big mountain on its head.

Therefore, conflict between the two parties is inevitable.

But it is difficult to say how long this conflict can last and whether it can play its due role.Because Roselle is a true god, even a true god who can walk on the earth, which is almost unique among all gods.

In other words, no one can stop Emperor Russell unless the God of Steam and Machinery comes to his rescue.

But this is not possible.

The God of Steam and Machinery has his own obligations. He will not leave his divine kingdom at will, let alone leave the star realm rashly.

Therefore, the final result will most likely end with a series of events such as the compromise of the Steam Church, the establishment of the Second Empire of Intis, and the purge of those in power in the Republic of Intis.

It is conceivable that a huge turmoil will inevitably break out in Intis, and even a civil war will break out over the struggle for power.

But in comparison, this incident had almost no impact abroad.

Because whether it is the continuation of the Second Republic or the establishment of the Second Empire, there is no substantial threat to Loen and other countries.Even though Emperor Russell could not accept Intis' defeat, Intis now no longer had the ability to launch a war.

Even if he had that ability, Intis would not have corresponding allies.

Once the war breaks out again, the Kingdom of Loen, the Kingdom of Feneport, Lomborg and other countries will send troops to launch corresponding offensives against Intis.

Therefore, as long as Emperor Russell still has reason, the turmoil will only stay at the stage of civil war and will not develop into a foreign war, because the war will definitely end with another defeat of Intis.

Of course, just because there will be no impact does not mean that countries will not pay corresponding attention.

For example, the king has not appeared at the dinner so far, and Audrey's father, Earl Hall, also left midway. This may be related to this matter.After all, the intelligence that MI[-] can obtain will definitely be submitted to the royal family.The information about Emperor Russell's resurrection and return will definitely attract corresponding attention.

They should now be talking about the possible impact of this incident and what measures the Kingdom of Loen needs to take to deal with it.

While Audrey was thinking, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Forsi looking thoughtful and asked curiously:
"Fors, what are you thinking?"

Forsi blinked and said seriously:

"I was thinking that if I wrote a biography based on the life experiences of Emperor Russell, such a novel would definitely be a big seller!"

Audrey heard this and joked:
"Then it's best to ask Russell himself first to avoid being sued by Emperor Russell for infringement in the future."

"That's not true." Forsi shrank his neck and muttered softly.

Your Majesty, you won't trouble her over such a trivial matter, right?

Hugh Dill rolled her eyes. Based on her understanding of this good friend, she only wanted to give her a verbal pleasure. It would be even harder for her to write!Since joining the Tarot Club, how long has it been since Forsdu wrote a novel?How could I write a biography of Emperor Russell on a whim?Forsi just talked about it, but if she actually wrote a word, she would lose.

Forsi's current state is infinitely close to Emperor Russell's definition of 'lying flat', or even worse.

To put it nicely, it means being carefree, but to put it badly, it means being heartless and not caring about anything.

But to be honest, Xio actually envied Forsi's life.

In order to clear his father's grievances and restore the family's glory, Xio chose to work within the system with the help of the Hall family.George IV quickly vindicated the Dill family, but the honor that had been deprived could never be regained.

Therefore, Xio could only work hard to accumulate merit and improve his status and position in MI[-].

The effect was remarkable. After working tirelessly and forgetting to eat and sleep, the merits she accumulated quickly allowed her to be promoted from major to colonel, and she was responsible for a group alone.

After that, she 'inadvertently' exposed the strength of Sequence 4, and naturally became the deputy director of MI[-], and her military rank was promoted to general.

Of course, generally speaking, demigods like her who were promoted to Sequence 4 on their own rather than through the royal family would need to undergo internal review.

But it happened to be the most intense time of the war, and the Loen Kingdom had no extra energy to review her. Moreover, the Loen Kingdom really needed to make good use of every Sequence 4 combat power in the country, so it simply put aside the investigation for the time being. Her review.

By the end of the war, Xio, who had a record of killing imperial demigods, had proven her loyalty to the Loen Kingdom. Coupled with the secret operations of the Hall family, the review of her was naturally no longer mentioned.

As a result, she was promoted again and became the director of MI[-] in charge of the most powerful intelligence agency in the entire Loen Kingdom!
But as the price of five consecutive rank jumps, Xio had almost no free time in the past year.

Every day he was either accumulating meritorious deeds or on the road to accumulating meritorious deeds... Such a mechanical and repetitive life even made Xio have the idea of ​​resigning. He felt that official extraordinary beings were not good at all and were not as good as bounty hunters. At least that way, he would have more free time. .

But this thought only passed by for a moment, because she also had a reason to continue.

For example, she can receive a generous salary in MI[-], enjoy various benefits, and can rely on her status and identity to occupy a large amount of intelligence, which helps her accumulate merits relatively efficiently.

In addition, the reason why she was able to join MI[-] and rehabilitate her father was due to the influence of the Hall family.If she really walked away, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal of the Hall family's investment.

Even if the Hall family doesn't pursue the case, Xio's own conscience will not let him go.

What's more, she is not only working hard for herself, but also for the entire Dill family.

Even if it's for her family, she can't give up easily.

Compared to the mission of restoring the family's glory, her current hard work is not worth mentioning!
The three of them stood in the corner of the hall, each sipping a glass of red wine with different thoughts.
-
Backlund North District, No. 6 Pinster Street.

Boom boom boom!
Klein stood at the door and knocked three times rhythmically with a kind smile on his face.

With a creak, the door opened, and Melissa in a new dress appeared before Klein's eyes.

The girl with smooth black hair hanging down to her vest showed a surprised expression, but she soon turned into a serious face:

"Who are you looking for?"

Klein replied seriously:
"Is there a possibility that this is my home?" "Really?" Melissa asked.

Klein hesitated to speak, not knowing how to explain it, but soon Benson's voice came from inside the room:

"Klein, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Melissa pursed her lips tightly and moved out of the way. She didn't really want to drive Klein out of the house, but she was a little angry. She was angry that he suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving no message.

She knew that Klein must have his reasons, but it had been so long, couldn't he even send a letter explaining the reasons?If he couldn't even explain, then why did he appear in front of them again to let them know that he was still alive?
Although Benson came to the rescue, Klein did not rush in. He just smiled and asked:

"Won't you invite me in?"

Melissa clenched her pink fists, hesitated for a long time, then gently hugged Klein and whispered:
"Anyway, welcome back."

"Well, I'm back."

Klein felt warm in his heart and said softly.

Snapped!
The door is closed, the cold wind is howling outside, and the ice and snow are raging. The house is warm as spring, with an elegant fireplace.

Klein walked into the living room, and Old Neil, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief on his face.The captain sat on the sofa on the side, and Miss Dai Li sat next to him without hesitation. They were looking at him with smiles.

As for Benson, he's still busy in the kitchen.

Klein felt warm in his heart, it was so good, everyone was here, everyone was alive.

"Long time no see, old Neil, captain, and Miss Daly."

Klein greeted each other in turn, and then asked with some confusion:

"Where's Leonard?"

Leonard came out of the kitchen, a bowl of borscht in both hands.

This is obviously Klein's house, but like the guests, Klein arrived late, just waiting for the dinner to begin.Instead, he, the guest, was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. Is this fair?This beaver?

Leonard stared at Klein expressionlessly, making the poet classmate feel very unhappy.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Klein smiled, stepped forward to take the borscht from Leonard's hand, put it on the table, and followed him into the kitchen to see if there was anything he could do to help.

In fact, he had no intention of coming back or getting close to Benson and Melissa.Because the level of his involvement is already too high, getting close to his brother and sister will only bring disaster to them.

For beings who don’t know Klein’s original identity, similar behavior will help them understand the relationship between Benson, Melissa and Klein. For beings who know Klein’s previous experience, this will help them understand the relationship between Benson, Melissa and Klein. One thing is confirmed, that is, Klein still maintains his humanity and still cares about his loved ones very much.

Therefore, staying away from Benson and Melissa is the best way to protect them - at least that's what Klein thought before.

Based on this idea, Klein actually originally planned to celebrate the New Year above the gray fog.

But you won’t be alone, after all, there are still embers, right?
however.

Yan Yan rejected his 'proposal' because he also had someone to accompany him during the New Year - just like he accompanied Audrey to the New Year's party last year, he also had an appointment this year, and he couldn't refuse.

As for this 'covenant', Klein has a little guess. It involves at least three gods. This covenant cannot be missed.

And in this way, he was the only one left above the gray fog.

It's not that Klein can't stand loneliness, because that's how he gets through most of the time. He's not so pretentious that he feels that life is meaningless without anyone to accompany him during the New Year.

The main reason why he chose to come back was because Ember enlightened him.

For those who knew Klein's identity, this deliberate alienation was completely concealing his identity.

For those who don't know Klein's identity, similar contacts will not cause any concern, because the 'Goddess of the Night' is on their side.

In fact, ever since Klein's time travel, the goddess of the night has been using her secret authority to help cover up.Nothing that happens to him will be seen, not even by the true God.

Ember's enlightenment finally made Klein realize that his caution had some merit, but not much and completely meaningless.

"Klein."

Dunn looked at Klein who was busy in the kitchen, smiled and shouted.

"team leader."

Klein stopped, a little confused.

Dunn said with a smile:

"Daly and I are getting married next week, how about you being my best man? Well, the same goes for Leonard. My father has passed away long ago, and Old Neil will attend in place of my parents."

"Okay."

Klein also smiled, "Congratulations, Captain, and Miss Daly."

Dailey Simone's cheeks were slightly red and she said with a smile:

"Melissa also wants to be my bridesmaid."

"Okay, Sister Daly."

Melissa smiled sweetly.

At this moment, Benson clapped his hands and greeted:

"Okay, everyone, sit down quickly!"

Melissa raised her wrist and looked at the lady's watch Benson gave her. It was now 11:55, and it would be New Year's Day in five minutes.

She looked at Klein, who was sitting next to him, and lowered her head slightly, hiding the smile on her face.

So fine.

Being a family together is more important than anything else.
