"Huh!? You ask me? I still want to ask you about her! Aren't these meta-shaped ship girls all wandering from the original world to various places like you? You don't know her?"

The observer's words made Leon a little restless. He originally wanted to talk to the observer about the good man Richard, but now the other party wants to get information from him! ?

what's going on! ?

"I know her, but... for this META ship girl, my memory only stays before the fleet destruction event, not only that, in the various test sites we opened up, we did not observe the good guy Richard The figure of virtue."

While speaking, the observer also had a dignified look on her face that she had never shown before. She always felt that this good Richard... seemed to be erased from her existence in history by something.

"Ah? It seems...my guess should be correct. The good Richard is His believer in this world. In this way...the fact that you can't observe her makes sense."

Even the Sirens couldn't notice the good Richard, so...the identity of the other party should be confirmed now, but...why did the good Richard, who was the ship's wife, become What does it look like now...?

Is this just a consequence of METAization?

Countless questions rushed to Leon's brain in an instant, and he shook his head lightly. Then Leon looked at the observer who was still thinking.

"However, we have some countermeasures here. Just like that tower, I can completely absorb the energy inside and use it for myself. Moreover, I also took Marco Polo from him, so...we There is still a means of winning."

What Leon said is indeed very reasonable. Since He didn't come to this world in person but let the good man Richard do things for Him, it means... He can't interfere in this world now.

"Huh~ You are right, but from what you said just now, I seem to know what He wants to do now. I think... If He wants to descend in this world, then... He needs to have enough faith."

"Oh? You mean... He can use his real body to come to this world only if there are enough believers?"

"That's almost what it means, otherwise the good man Richard wouldn't be looking for the ship girl to become his believer, but... since we have you here, then his plan can't be successful, maybe... The source of your strength is the same~"

Putting away the heavy expression on his face, the observer smiled at Leon again. From what Leon said just now, she could get so much information. As for why Leon could use his power as I have, and observers feel that there is only one explanation now.

"It is indeed possible. When I absorbed those energies last time, I felt that they were a little too affectionate to me. Could it be that... I am the same as him!?"

Speaking of this, Leon suddenly remembered the time when he used this energy to heal Marco Polo's mind Rubik's Cube. At that time...the expression on Marco Polo's face was so devout. Now think about it...

Leon felt that he and he might have many similarities to some extent.

"Your abilities may be the same, but... your purpose is different. You want to live well in this world, but He... just wants to invade every world and spread his followers throughout the universe , to a certain extent, your ambitions are the same, but... your ambitions will not hurt other people."

After that, the observer stood up again, walked to Leon and sat down next to him, put his hands on Leon's shoulders, and the observer then lay down on Leon and sniffed carefully.

"You... what are you going to do!?"

The power of the observer was surprisingly strong, and Leon had no room to resist at all. After holding Leon forcibly and sniffing for a while, the observer left Leon's body with a smile on his face.

"Nothing, I'm just checking if you're lying. If you become his believer because you absorbed those energies...then our future will really only be destroyed. Remember to protect it. Oh myself~"

After blowing a kiss to Leon, the observer got up and returned to the seat where he was sitting before, took a sip of coffee from Leon's coffee cup, and the observer let out another groan of satisfaction.

Leon is now their only hope, and if that hope is also dashed... then they really don't know what to do.

Looking at the observer with a happy face, Leon didn't know what to complain about for a while. Obviously everyone is still an enemy on the surface, but the other party is still sitting in front of him leisurely...

"Speaking of which, why do you always imitate Trieste to come to me? When will you stand in front of me in your own image?"

"Why, don't you like it?"

Seeing Leon's curious face, the observer actively stretched out his hand to the front armor, and then she shook it a few times, the white waves constantly stimulated Leon's eyeballs, seeing Leon Ang was still staring at himself, and the observer tried a little harder to pick up his clothes.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that the observer was about to show the appearance of the front armor in front of him, Leon hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. He didn't want to see it, but the observer used the appearance of Trieste to do this kind of thing. ..

Leon always felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

"Hee hee~ Don't you like this kind of thing very much? I use her appearance just to make you look at me more~ But well... I use her appearance every time for other reasons, she is saying Ding Dili seems to be in charge of managing various supplies, and she usually hangs around the warehouse, and I won't be easily spotted by other ship girls with her appearance."

Seeing that Leon was no longer looking at him, the observer also stopped the movement of his hands, raised his legs again, and picked up the coffee cup to take a sip of coffee.

"...I know, but I hope you will come to me in your own way next time, otherwise...I will always have an awkward feeling in my heart."

Putting his hand down, Leon sighed a little relaxedly, adjusted his mentality, and then Leon looked at the observer seriously again.

"I said so much just now, but now I have a task for you to complete. That kind of tower that stores energy may appear in other places again. I hope...you can rush to other places when the tower appears. The Fleet Mother of the Faction controlled the sea area around the tower before."

This matter is what Leon is most worried about now, and Leon is not very clear about how the tower works. If the tower releases those energies without everyone knowing, then the ship girls present may just Will usher in the same fate as Marco Polo.

"Oh? You are quite concerned about the safety of those ship girls, so aren't you afraid that we will also become His followers?"

There was a half-smile expression on his face, and the observer immediately sat up and looked at Leon.

"I didn't say I want you to go in person. You can send a few carrier machines and those mass-produced sirens to go. If there is a problem, just explode yourself at that time. I think... the survival of the carrier machine It should not be dangerous to you, right?"

It is the most appropriate thing to let the siren do it now. After the siren surrounds that kind of place, Leon will have a reason to deal with the tower.

"Okay, okay~ Just kidding, I will remember what you said. Similarly, I will continue to observe the good man Richard, but you...you are still worried about your future. Come on, our experiment will continue until the day you can complete the activation of the mental cube."

"Okay, then we've made a deal, I hope we... have a good cooperation."

Seeing that the observer agreed to himself, Leon stretched out his hand to her with a smile on his face. After glancing at Leon's hand, the observer also extended his hand and shook Leon.

"I've finished what I have to say. I'm leaving first. If you need anything, you can find me at any time."

After shaking hands, the observer drank the coffee in the cup, stood up and stretched his body, and then the observer walked towards the door.

"...Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

Until she reached the door, the observer didn't hear Leon's voice, but when she turned her head to look, she saw Leon lying on the sofa with a comfortable face.

"Huh? What are you talking about? This is not a farewell. If you really want to say...then I can only hope that you will not be discovered by other ship girls."

Looking at the observer who was still standing at the door with a puzzled expression, Leon lay down again after saying this. After talking so much with the observer before, Leon was a little tired now.

"Heh~ My camouflage skills are still very good, no ship girl can see through my camouflage."

Smiling contemptuously at Leon, the observer finally pushed open the door and left here. After returning...

She needs to investigate the good man Richard.

The sound of the door being closed made Leon sit up abruptly again, glanced at the closed door, and then Leon took out the communicator and found Marco Polo's contact information.

There were so many things that happened today that Leon almost forgot that he had to treat Marco Polo. After sending him a message, Leon put away the coffee cup on the coffee table.

He has to make two more cups of coffee now, and treating Marco Polo is a very long time, of course, the fun is endless.

For example...Training the sacred Marco Polo of the Sardinian Empire into a puppy who listens to his own words...

Return to iron and blood, Satin style: Chapter 373 The test of the Duke of Abruzzi (97, 98)

After a night.

After getting up and washing up as usual, Leon walked towards the cafeteria again.

Today is the third day of his vacation in the Sardinian Empire. During this time, the rest of the ship girls are also enjoying a happy vacation life in the Sardinian Empire. The entertainment facilities here are still very rich, and various indoor entertainment items are also available. Everything that one expects to find, at least everyone will not feel bored staying here.

After coming to the cafeteria, Leon took some food casually and found a place to sit down by himself. The cafeteria in the morning was still cold, and the feeling of loneliness made Leon feel uncomfortable for a while.

After dinner later, I'd better go see Frederick and the others. I don't know what everyone is playing these two days.

Although he said that he was on vacation with everyone, Leon hadn't played with Iron Blood, Sakura, or Beilian's ship girls until now.

And... starting tonight, the plan to take a bath with everyone will be implemented, which is another form of challenge for Leon.

"Gui'an, Your Excellency Leon, I didn't expect you to wake up so early when you were on vacation~"

Just when Leon lowered his head to enjoy the delicious steak, a slightly cold voice suddenly rang in his ears. Looking up, Leon saw Abruzzi who greeted him with a smile on his face. Duke.

"Good morning, Duke of Abruzzi."

Without following what the other party said, Leon bowed his head and continued to eat the meat on the plate after greeting her. After he cleaned up his plate, Leon wiped his mouth with a paper towel He said to the Duke of Abruzzi: "My biological clock has made me used to getting up at this time, but you...why did you get up so early today?"

The vacation of the Sardinian Empire will end tomorrow, and today should be the last day of their vacation. Hearing what Leon said, Duke Abruzzi smiled noncommittally.

"I would like to rest more, but... there are still many things that need to be dealt with, noble people like us...sometimes, we can't control our time freely."

Elegantly picked up the bread and took a bite, Abruzzi took another sip of milk. There was very little breakfast on her plate, only two pieces of bread, a fried egg and a sausage, but... this is for Abu That's enough weight for Lu Qi.

"Indeed, sometimes I can't rest even if I want to. Speaking of which... What are you going to deal with later? Maybe I can help too."

Since Abruzzi came to the door on his own initiative, Leon would naturally not give up this opportunity to attack. He raised his head and looked at Leon in surprise, and Abruzzi immediately nodded again.

"Okay~ Actually, what I'm busy with is not a confidential matter. Basically, it's just sorting out the attack documents that have been saved over the past few months. It's a great thing that His Excellency Leon is willing to help me."

For the iron-blooded leader sitting in front of him now, Abruzzi naturally respects him very much. If he can get the approval of the collective iron-blooded ship mother, it means that he is a very good person. Before adding Abruzzi Qi saw Leon's various performances with her own eyes, so she was naturally willing to get closer to Leon.

As honorable persons, Abruzzi believed that they could understand each other.

"Okay, then I'll take a look with you in a while. Speaking of which... I haven't visited your office yet."

The office building of the Sardinian Empire is also a luxurious building. Although there are not many warship girls using the office building, but... this is also a form of expression to show the prestige of their empire.

"It's just an ordinary office, there's nothing worth noticing. If I really want to say it... that's the precious decorations that can be seen everywhere on the walls."

With a chuckle again, Abruzzi drank the milk in the glass again. Since Leon is willing to help her, she has to finish her breakfast quickly now. It is not polite to let others wait for her. Behavior.

"Speaking of... where's Veneto? What does she usually do in the office building?"

When the topic came to this point, Leon curiously inquired about the usual situation of other Sardinian Empire ship girls, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and Abruzzi said to Leon with a smile on his face again: "They usually We just held a meeting there to discuss the recent affairs. As for the attack mission...we naturally have a set of attack schedules here. If there are sirens, everyone will go back and eliminate the sirens together. If not...that is simple Offshore patrol mission."

There are very few ship girls in the Sardinian Empire, and management is much simpler than other factions. In addition, everyone is a very conscious ship girl, so... Veneto basically doesn't need to do anything at ordinary times.

"I see... It seems that Veneto is usually a little more relaxed than me..."

"This is impossible, Your Excellency Leon, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I didn't mean to belittle myself, but...Compared with us, you do have more burdens on your shoulders."

Everyone can see what Leon does. Abruzzi knows that he is a person who is really in power and working hard to end this war. For such Leon...Abruzzi will not be stingy own language of praise.

"Thank you, I just did what I should do. Now that you've finished eating, let's go to work now."

Smiling modestly at Abruzzi, Leon immediately stood up and greeted her as a gentleman. Seeing this, Abruzzi picked up the plate and walked forward without hesitation.

"However, Veneto and the others seem to be discussing something in the past few days. I think she asked Zarapola and the others to go to the office before, so...what did you guys talk about that night?"

After walking out of the cafeteria, Abruzzi looked at Leon curiously. Veneto seemed to have been talking alone with some partners in recent days, and Abruzzi felt that it would be his turn soon.

"It's really nothing, I just chatted with her about the future, like... getting all the factions completely united, these things are what we talked about that night."

Leon doesn't mind telling the other Sardinian girls about the chat between him and Veneto. It's probably because of this that Veneto talked to them alone these days. It seems...

Veneto should soon make his own decision in his heart.

"Joint together? This is a good proposal. In this way...we can show the strength of our Sardinian Empire to other camps while fighting the Siren, but...Your Majesty Leon, what you said The alliance mentioned should not be that kind of simple alliance?"

Slowly stopping, Abruzzi then turned her head to look at Leon. Listening to Leon's words, she probably guessed what Leon was thinking, but... if Veneto really If she intends to agree to Leon's proposal, then she doesn't have much opinion on her side.

At least... Leon is a qualified conductor. If he is allowed to direct various battles, Abruzzi feels that they will save a lot of trouble.

"Of course, it is impossible for an alliance without a leader to survive for a long time. Everyone will eventually be torn apart due to various interests, so I want everyone to attack under unified management, at least... in the overall situation On the issue, I will not take sides.”

"Oh? Really? What about Iron Blood? How can you assure us that...you in the future will not favor Iron Blood? After all, you are the leader of Iron Blood, and you have a closer relationship with those ship girls."

Listening to Leon's words, Abruzzi also raised the question that she was most concerned about. Leon is a man of iron and blood, and she doesn't believe that the other party can say anything casually to make everyone stand on the same starting line.

At least... There must be a process, and whether there will be accidents in this process is what Abruzzi is most worried about now.

Abruzzi has no objection to the alliance. Their ultimate goal is to destroy the enemy. If this process can be made easier, she believes that no ship girl will refuse.

But... how the other camps will survive after the alliance, whether the fundamental interests of the camps can be guaranteed, and whether Leon will suddenly change his mind one day in the future, these are the issues that everyone should discuss now.

"You are quite right. In this matter... I really cannot give you a convincing guarantee."

Abruzzi's question caused Leon to fall into silence for a while. This is also a problem that Leon has been struggling with. Iron Blood is his home. If other camps want to attack Iron Blood, then he will definitely help Iron-blooded.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Sakura, the Northern United, and the Sardinian Empire will not do this kind of thing, but... those Azur Lane ship girls don't know what they think.

And he can't just think about himself now, he also has to think about what other camps will think when they learn about his proposal. Abruzzi is right, he can't promise other ship girls that he can treat Sangvis the same way. Treat other factions.

At least not now.

However, he really sincerely wants to treat every ship girl equally, but... no one will believe this kind of thing just by talking about it. After thinking for a while, Leon can only helplessly Sighed.

"It looks like, Your Excellency Leon, you are really distressed now~ Shall I help you think of a good way?"

Seeing that Leon sighed, Abruzzi stepped forward and stood in front of Leon, putting his hands on Leon's shoulders, and then Abruzzi said to Leon with a gentle face: "This kind of thing you don't know. It is simply impossible to promise us with words, so...you might as well give everyone more time to observe you, for example, if all camps agree to your proposal in the future, then...you can agree to it for a period of time We will investigate what you have done, and we will hold a meeting together after the investigation is over. If everyone thinks that there is nothing wrong with what you have done, then we will continue to cooperate like this. If you have not made anything that meets our expectations during this period of time If there is a problem, then we can also reserve the right to leave this alliance, what do you think of this proposal?"

This is the best way to deal with it at this stage. For everyone, there is room for retreat. It is basically impossible for all camps to hand over the fate of their camp to others with just a few words things.

"Hmm...you're right, this seems to be the best solution for this situation..."

Abruzzi's words are very reasonable. For the two camps like Sakura and the Northern United, they may be more inclined to trust themselves. After all, he has helped these two camps before and lived with the ship girl to which the camp belongs. A long time, but factions like the Sardinian Empire and Azur Lane...

They don't know themselves very well now.

"This is just a small proposal of mine, Your Excellency Leon, you are the one who will do this in the end, and only you can do it. As the ship's wife of the Sardinian Empire, I will naturally do it for you." Considering the interests of the Sardinian Empire, but personally, I am still very optimistic about you."

These words are from the heart of Abruzzi, and making such a decision also requires a lot of courage and certainty. She admires Leon's behavior of constantly fighting for his decision.

"I see, I'll let you see my true intentions, but... let's go to the office first, or we won't be able to catch up with lunch in a while."
