Extraordinary Pedigree.

Grimaldi Forum·Grand Place.

At dusk, the main square looks particularly peaceful and mysterious.The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the square, dyeing everything with a warm golden color. The fountain water in the center of the square shines faintly under the reflection of the setting sun, like thousands of gems scattered in it. The water flows slowly and emits a gentle glow. The sound of running water.

Many representatives from the Central Security and Defense Department, the Central Committee, the Central Bank, and the Central Court were standing in the main square. They did not stay in the conference hall for the meeting, but chose the square as the venue for the meeting.

And of course there is a reason for this.

The main reason was, of course, Delacroix's old strategy of attacking in the east and west. The people in the conference hall were all members of the [Salvation Army], and they were lying in wait for the fish to take the bait.

Of course, the fifteen steam creatures standing in the square are also one of the reasons.

The bronze skeleton outlines the majestic figure of Archeopteryx, and the mechanical joints emit soft steam mist with every movement.

The mechanical muscles on these terrifying steam creatures flow with the movements, and the entire skeleton is connected by rivets and bolts, presenting an industrial beauty and also demonstrating the technical miracle of the Flan [Mounter].

Their feathers are no longer conventional natural objects, but are composed of copper-plated metal sheets, each inlaid with glowing steam pipes from which glistening light flows.Driven by the steam, these metal feathers sway lightly, as if playing a mysterious mechanical movement.

The top of the fuselage is a huge glass dome. Through the glass, you can see the operation of the precise steam mechanism inside.These mechanisms make a rhythmic roar, like a huge steam engine, injecting energy into every part of Archaeopteryx.

The external hardpoints on the wings are equipped with all kinds of steampunk warfare equipment, and the air-to-air missiles are lined up on the wings, loaded with huge steam-kinetic warheads.The belly bomb bay hides some active enemy-seeking missiles, and each missile is full of destructive power.The side bomb bay is inlaid with mysterious thaumaturgy combat missiles, exuding a strange rune light.

sizzle~
White smoke curled up from the steam exhaust port of the fuselage, lingering around it like mysterious ritual smoke.

The cheeks of senior officials and technical modulators were shrouded in a slight heat, feeling as if they were in a steam greenhouse. Wadsworth, the leader of the team, endured it silently.

His eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man who had just entered the square and was amazed by one of the Archeopteryx.

"Isn't this Mr. Delacroix, one of the Three Kings? Don't get too close to those iron lumps, or you may be burned beyond recognition by the steam." Wadsworth tightened the black cane in his hand and said in a teasing tone. .

"It's really majestic. No matter how many times I look at it, I will be fascinated by these things." Delacroix retracted his hand touching the copper plating, and replied, "Wadsworth, don't worry about your old classmates and colleagues. With such abusive words, we are still colleagues after all.”

"Colleague, you betrayed the Central Bank of China, you did not report the situation of the [Financial Beast], and you also connived at the Monte Carlo Security Bureau to assassinate the federal agents of the Edisi Federation, exacerbated international conflicts, and deliberately caused bureaucratic harm , indulge in corruption, you even want to attack local military bases, and seek military independence..." Wadsworth clasped his cane tightly in both hands, and the violent veins in his hands proved his anger at this time.

"You fucking know what you're doing!"

Facing Wordsworth who was yelling at him, Delacroix shrugged.

He knew that if possible, the other party would definitely drive these fifteen Archaeopteryx to turn him into ashes on the spot, but he knew it was impossible because many cardinals from the Salvation Army were standing beside him.

These cardinal archbishops wear bright red cassocks, with red sabello slanted across the left shoulder and tied at the right waist, wearing a red crown with three clearly visible folds.

A red cloak covered them, hanging from their shoulders to the ground, looking solemn and elegant.They wore cardinal rings in their hands, shining with gold and inlaid with cross patterns.The hat ring on the head is purple and simply covers the top of the head, highlighting their status.

A total of five cardinals stood beside Delacroix, and their existence carried an indescribable coercion.Their faces are obscured by tall, pointed hats, showing only the parts below the eyes.And those eyes, as deep as endless void, seem to be able to swallow all life and light.

"Don't lose your composure, we are just for reform, I just want Monte Carlo to achieve extraordinary independence at the national level, we need time to build our own pedigree, we need international recognition, so as to completely join Terra's truly extraordinary system It’s better to prepare for the upcoming upheaval.” Delacroix didn’t take the gaffe of Youyang’s representative to heart, instead he replied with a smile.

"Let the people of your own country bleed and sacrifice, let Youyang be exposed to the great pollution of Memu, let countless individuals die because of you, and let the Youyang countries face an even more cruel crisis of collapse. This is what you call reform."

Wadsworth hit the ground hard with the cane he held tightly in both hands, and following his actions, fifteen nearby Archaeopteryx were about to move. They opened their mouths towards Delacroix, and then, a A huge stream of steam spurted out from their mouths, instantly filling the surrounding space.

Facing the steam of Archaeopteryx, one of the five cardinals stood up. A strange ripple of air burst out from him, and the steam around him began to disappear as the ripples spread.

The other four cardinals raised their hands wearing cardinal rings, and a wave of thaumaturgy was brewing on the rings; Looking at the cardinal, the eyes of the fifteen Archeopteryx began to flash strange red, and the red dots of the laser mounted on the copper-plated wings were directly fixed on the enemy's body.

The scene suddenly became tense.

"Don't do anything, don't do anything, I'm already in my early 50s, and I can't stand these stimuli." Delacroix stretched out his hands to signal the cardinal to step back, the cardinal glanced at him, and finally retreated silently.

"Wadsworth, we haven't reached that point yet. These are the things we are negotiating for this time."

Delacroix looked at his former classmates and said solemnly:
"We took Professor Ross's politics class together when we were in college. You should know that the constituent elements of a country are not individuals, but the gathering of individuals with subjective consciousness to build society, and then the country."

"So, those people who have no subjective consciousness are so unimportant in your eyes!

Moreover, why are you dissatisfied with Youyang's reform? The central authoritarian integration is just a new extraordinary ideology. The important thing is how to do it to benefit the people of Youyang!In fact, what is more conducive to the reform of the extraordinary is the autocracy in the extraordinary rather than the pluralistic and fragmented part. ” Wadsworth retorted to Delacroix.

"Wadsworth, you and I both understand that we have been avoiding a problem, but we have to face that problem - whether to use extraordinary tyranny to unify all mankind." Delacroix clenched his right fist, " Mingjun and wise supernatural institutions may not always be able to maintain their own sanity and humanity; the Oretinian Empire and the Daeva Empire are examples. We have all been to the Oretinian Continent to study and know the cruelty there. I have seen Daeva’s [Sleepless City] and Atlases, and I know more about their cruelty, so we must not place our hopes in the hands of an individual, a group of people, or an extraordinary group.”

"Bureaucratic harm is not a social conflict caused by the political corruption of one person or a group of people. It is only a part of the harm. Corruption, but unable to make any criticism, unable to correct their state, this is the real danger. Youyang is walking towards the hell where Daeva is, and is running wildly on the road to slavery.

You hope that you can rule over any words and memories of mankind like the Kingdom of Heaven, but you cannot be as courageous as them to be extraordinary; they even insert knives into their own bodies to control the out-of-control, but you don't dare, you are not crazy. You are not idealistic, you are utilitarian. "

"Wordsworth! The meme virus is so hopeless! [War Thought], [Crowd], [Weirdization], [Pleasure Virus], [Entertainment to Death], [Nipple Fun], [Thoughts] disease], [de-characterized viruses]... too many, too many, too many!!!"

"The thoughtful people are full of viruses in their thoughts, while most of the rest are in the desert of thought, and the silent majority are slowly suffocating in the desert of thought."

"Look at the current situation, what are the many forces in Terra doing?"

"In front of mankind are smart enemies and stalwart enemies, and behind mankind are incompetent companions and similar people with evil intentions. We must fight against both at the same time. And I myself am not the target that everyone hopes for, so I can only follow Go in the direction of your heart.

Everyone is like this, just like the hunter in the dark forest, no one dares to believe anyone, no one dares to really light a bonfire to light the way forward, who dares?Heaven?or you? "

"So, no matter what, Monte Carlo must achieve extraordinary independence at the national level, no matter what the price is, no matter how many sacrifices!"

The more Delacroix spoke, the more excited he became, his face flushed with unspeakable passion.His temples were already gray, and his face was no longer young, but his tone of voice was louder and more powerful than that of any young man.

Did he do anything wrong?

Wadsworth didn't know how to evaluate this. He only knew his current mission. He was here to suppress the spread of the riot.

"Delacroix, Youyang will not become the next Daeva, you should have confidence in this. Let the people of [Relief Society] and [Salvation Army] withdraw from Monte Carlo and stop the spread of bureaucratic harm and counter-curtain Sports and everything else, we can negotiate," Wadsworth said seriously.

"Impossible, you know, no one is going to hand over the power to execute violence, all of our negotiations rely on violence. I can stop bureaucratic harm and anti-veil campaigns, I can even stop the government and security agencies from infighting, Restoring social order, but I cannot let [the Salvation Army] leave, the extraordinary independence of Monte Carlo itself contains them." Delacroix rejected the representation made by Youyang's representative.

"Haha, your independence means binding them to the same chariot as you. In the end, Monte Carlo will always be dependent on others." Wadsworth couldn't help but sneered.

"Nothing can be accomplished overnight. I always have to try to take the first step." Delacroix continued in a calm tone: "We all take a step back. I implement the conditions proposed above, and you agree to [The Salvation Army] ]Reasonability in Monte Carlo, I guarantee...”

Halfway through Delacroix's words, he suddenly closed his mouth. The [Cube-K] residing in his body directly connected to his spirituality, and then floated out of his body privately.

[Block-K] A burly humanoid entity with an ancient knight's armor and a red cloak. His left hand holds a huge square-shaped shield with a capital "K" in the center of the shield, and his right hand holds a A sharp golden dagger.

Delacroix wanted to explain subconsciously, but [Box-K] directly manipulated his head to look at the sky, and then he saw countless eyes appearing in the sky.

They do not belong to any creature, but are suspended in midair independently, full of mysteries and unknowns.The color of those eyes was as black as an endless universe, as if it could swallow all the light.Whenever he tried to escape their sight, they seemed to follow them consciously, and their indifference and judgment made his heart tremble.

Horror engulfed him, and he froze on the spot.

The cardinal and Wadsworth at the side noticed something was wrong, and a cardinal immediately stood up, stretched out his hand, and a beam of light shot from his nails.

[Indulgences·Laws (Light)——]
The dense plasma beams were tightly entangled around him and Delacroix like intertwined network cables.These beams of light were as brilliant as iridescence, converging around him and forming an invisible shield.Each beam of light is a high-energy energy flow, shining with unimaginable intensity, and they dance in the air.

[Plasma beam·turbulence! ! ! ]
Countless plasma beams were densely interlaced and shot towards a distorted place in the void. There, a Möbius strip flashed past, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes appeared there. In his right hand, he was holding a person who was wailing in pain. silhouette's neck.

Facing the densely packed plasma beams, the blond youth raised his brows slightly, and a crown made of thorns appeared on top of his head.

He let go of the person in his hand, raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and ordered:

"Disperse!"

It’s no longer possible, lactic acid has accumulated and it hurts like hell(*)
