Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 268 The Light That Cannot Be Hidden

In 1072 of the Terran calendar, the capital of Victoria, Londinium.

Major General Derek, deputy commander of the Fourth Military Region of the Victoria Central Army, received an A-level mission late at night one day.

The meaning of A-level tasks is that the specific source of the task cannot be investigated, the content of the task cannot be interpreted by oneself, and the task information must not be leaked for life, otherwise it will violate the most serious military law.

Derek was very strange at the time, this mission was only given to him, which meant that he could not let any subordinates except himself know about this mission. The deputy commander of the military region came to personally carry out this secret mission.

At the same time, he was even more confused about the content of the A-level mission.

The content of the mission is: starting from Londinium, secretly send a boy to an orphanage in a city in southern Victoria. The process must be concealed so that it cannot be traced afterwards. Randomly selected, the task will be executed after 48 hours.

Up to this point, Derek has not noticed anything unusual. As a soldier, he only needs to complete the task according to the instructions of his superiors.

But just the night before his departure, he received a secret mission again. The mission came from the Chief of Military Affairs of the Victorian Empire. This was almost the highest authority order he could come into contact with. The content of the mission was only one sentence.

[After taking the boy out of the northern region, get rid of the follower, and kill him secretly. 】

In more than 20 years of military career, Derek has changed from an ordinary soldier to the deputy commander of the military region. Over the years, he has carried out countless missions, including some missions against humanity, which is inevitable in the development trajectory of history , as a soldier, he does not need to have a mind.

The meaning of this mission is obvious. The chief of military affairs wanted the boy to die, but he couldn't let him die in the open. In other words, he didn't want others to know that the boy was dead. He is still alive, but he doesn't know where he is.

Killing a strange boy secretly is not an insurmountable psychological obstacle for Derek. He doesn't know why someone is following him, the difficulty is only how to get rid of the pursuer.

However, the complexity of this incident far exceeded Derek's imagination.

Just four hours before the departure of the mission, he received another mission. The source of this mission turned out to be the chief executive of the Victoria Empire, who was the highest chief executive of the entire Victoria except for the king.

The text in the task information is like this.

[Officer Derek, you are a soldier, but at its root, you are a Victorian soldier. This is the highest order from the Victorian royal family. You must do everything possible to keep this boy alive and let the mission be released Those who think he is dead, I don't care what method you use, in the next 15 years, don't let this boy appear in northern Victoria]

After Derek burned the mission letter, he slumped on the chair, sweating profusely.

This may be the most difficult multiple-choice question he has encountered in his life so far.

One is an order from the Chief of Military Affairs, and the other is an order from the Chief Executive, who also moved the royal family out. Although the authenticity of the royal family's wishes cannot be verified, the Chief Executive's order is accurate.

By now, he already basically knew the identity of the boy.

The candlelight shone on Derek's old face.

Xia Feng continued to ask.

"And then, what choice did you make?"

Derek let out a weak wry smile.

"I couldn't disobey the orders of any party. In the end, I chose a way to be worthy of my military status and Victoria's military status, and ended this mission. Of course, I was only ashamed of one person."

"what way?"

Trembling, Derek took out a cigarette from under the coffee table. It seemed that he hadn't smoked for a long time, and his action of lighting a cigarette was a bit rusty.

"I took the boy to Notting City and abandoned him in the chaotic infected area. Under that environment, he should have died soon. If he dies within one year, this is considered to have fulfilled the order of the Chief of Military Affairs. At the same time, I did not personally kill him. Once he contracted ore disease, he would definitely die within 15 years. Calculated based on the boy’s age at that time, 15 years later He's almost at the age of majority, so it's almost impossible for him to return to northern Victoria before then, which is the chief executive's mission."

"This is your choice?"

"That's right, I naively thought it was the most correct choice at the time. I was just an officer, and this choice didn't offend any party. But when I came here, I found out that I was wrong, because my choice also offended the high-level and middle-level officials." It's just that for some reason, this matter has been left alone, but the impact on me is far from over."

Derek took a deep breath and continued.

"Later, I couldn't bear the huge pressure from the top. I even realized that the chain reaction after this mission might kill me. Two years later, I was forced to resign as the deputy commander of the military region and left northern Victoria. , I actually came to Notting City where the child was abandoned back then. At that time, I thought he was dead, so I forgot about that mission."

Hearing this, Xia Feng already understood everything.

"Then you established your own gang in Notting City with your extraordinary skills, and became the boss of the gang, until one day ten years later, you met the boy you abandoned in the infected area on the street , he is Nanfeng."

"Yes."

Xia Feng clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice.

"What is Nanfeng's true identity? Is the Aslan family the royal family of Victoria?"

Derek's voice was soft.

"A hundred years ago, the Aslans were indeed the royal family of Victoria, but now, apart from the real royal family of Londinium, most of the Aslans that Victoria sees on weekdays are collateral, and some are not even nobles. Except, of course, the south wind."

"Who is Nanfeng?"

"He is the present King of Victoria, the son of King Willanson."

Xia Feng narrowed his eyes, it really is so!

Derek then told him some more about the Victorian royal family.

The current king of Victoria, King Willanson, is now 61 years old. He and the queen have given birth to two princes and a princess. These three are now the reasonable heirs to the throne recognized by the Yuan Council.

But those who know the inside story know that 21 years ago, Willanson secretly gave birth to a baby boy with a royal maid. The royal palace of Londinium has been lost since then.

And the person who carried out that mission was Derek.

In fact, from Xia Feng's point of view, whether the blood is pure or not is an excuse, it is the seed of King Willanson, can it be impure?

The queen only wants her children to inherit the throne. There are many high-level forces involved behind this. From Derek's description, it is not difficult to see that Victoria's chief of military affairs is on the queen's side, and the chief executive is definitely not here to help the maid. Well, Xia Feng doesn't think these politicians have any sense of justice. Obviously, the chief executive is the opposition of the Queen's forces.

King Willanson is still in power now, but the undercurrent of the kingship has begun to surge more than 20 years ago. The change of each dynasty is not only the handover of the throne, but also the rise and fall of some high-level forces. This is eternal. The reason for change.

However, after knowing Nan Feng's true identity, what Xia Feng cares most about is not Victoria's battle for the throne, but another matter, which involves a very important person to him.

"Mr. Derek, I want to know, did King Willanson only have Nanfeng as an illegitimate son?"

Derek thought back.

"That's the only mission I've ever received."

"I mean, do you think it is possible that there will be the same mission after that, but the person who performs the mission is not you."

Derek understood what Xia Feng meant, and he smiled meaningfully.

"Although there is no accurate evidence, I think that this kind of thing will happen for the second time. I don't know if I am the first person to perform this kind of task, but I think I am definitely not the last. , but, if there were any, those children might not be as lucky as Nanfeng to live to adulthood."

Xia Feng continued to ask.

"Then do you know what characteristics people with royal blood have in common?"

"Well, as far as I know, the blood of Victoria's first king has three excellent qualities, strength, wisdom, and leadership. Among his descendants, those who inherit the three qualities are undoubtedly eligible to win the throne, but after generations of reproduction, Today no one can inherit all three qualities at the same time."

"what do you mean?"

"Not all the orthodox descendants of the royal family will inherit the qualities of the previous kings, but there is no doubt that as long as they inherit one of these characteristics, strength, wisdom, and leadership, this person is a pure-blooded descendant of the Victorian royal family. Being infinitely magnified, the light it reveals cannot be concealed."
