Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

After a classic period of silence, a hoarse voice came from the shadow of the hood:

“Confirming this fact that the Business Alliance is not a monolith is my biggest gain in the past two days.

“As the leader of Rhode Island, I naturally consider it from Rhode Island’s perspective, and I need to work with others to establish a medical system for infected people.

"After all, I am only Rhode Island, so I have more to consider."

The doctor really meant what he said.

The communication with this head maid is completely different from that of her master. Although her master is astringent but easy to talk, this head maid is extremely indifferent and it is difficult to guess what is going on in her heart.

Just like it is now.

Slender white fingers put down the tea cup, and the emotionless mechanical eyes looked through the hood and stared at the girl hidden in the shadows. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said with a bit of regret:

"I'm not interested in these. They are not worth being cared about by Iron Blood. If you just want to tell me this, for the sake of the master, I can't waste my precious time with you."

"Of course not, Mr. Agent."

The doctor sat in a chair with a relaxed posture and said calmly:

"I just want to say that I have a rough idea of ​​the attitude of all parties on the board and the possible reactions."

"From some simple exchanges?"

The head maid who asked the question seemed to be a little interested, and she looked at the hooded man's pupils more intently.

"It's just possible. After all, it's all superficial communication."

The doctor did not deny it, but he did not directly confirm it. After a little modesty, he continued:

"Information is a huge network, and Iron Blood has provided me with many conveniences. As long as enough information is integrated, what they might do next will naturally no longer be a mystery."

"You actually do this... You are indeed a talented person, doctor."

"It's just a means for the weak. If there weren't too many people putting their lives in my hands, I wouldn't be willing to go to such trouble."

Yes, just as a means for the weak.

Iron Blood Heavy Industries is fully capable of doing this, and even what they do should be more accurate, but neither the Scarecrow nor the agent have cared about this aspect.

Supercilious?

No, this is not arrogance, but a matter of course.

When a country enters the industrial age in an all-round way and is surrounded by people still smelting copper and iron, it will naturally stop paying attention to its neighboring countries and instead focus on its own development.

Thinking back on the god-like military strength displayed by Jagged Heavy Industries, the doctor sighed slightly.

It seemed that Zhou Cheng had never cared about how far his Iron Blood had developed, which made her quite envious.

With her eyes lowered under the hood, she tapped her knees lightly with her fingers and said:

"Many people are wavering. They are always wavering before things become clear. There are also some who are fiercely opposed to Rhode Island...or the ore disease inhibitor brought by Rhode Island.

"The Grand Knight Commander is not willing to talk to me about this matter. She has some doubts about me and the possible characters behind me, but maybe I can make some guesses——

"What kind of situation should we resist oriosis inhibitors? Naturally, when we need a large number of infected people who have no future, they are not even willing to let the infected people see tomorrow... Or maybe, they hope that these drugs will appear in a rarer form in the infection. In front of the person?"

The agent did not speak, her slender fingers intertwined slowly, she lowered her head slightly, and her indifferent face was covered with a layer of shadow that spontaneously extended along, and a suppressed eyebrow was drawn on her delicate features.

Like the rainy season in Syracuse, or the collapse of the tallest tower in Letania, some pure and extreme dark emotions gathered in the maid's eyes.

It's not anger, nor disgust, just irritability at being 'interrupted'.

...Does she work a lot now?

When the doctor asked such a question, the gloom on the agent's face was instantly wiped away by indifference. She sat upright and said calmly:

"You should go to my master about this matter. Only if he agrees will I do something in Casimir."

"I want to find him too, but unfortunately his life is always full of busy things."

"..."

Needless to say, the agent also knows what the so-called busy things are, and they are indeed 'things' that the master will do.

She paused for a moment, and a large amount of data flow was transmitted back to Kazdaele along the signal tower brought from Rhode Island, and then processed by a quantum computer made by her as an external brain circuit.

The mechanical eyes flickered for a few seconds. When the red light disappeared, the elegant head maid said calmly:

"The Shining agrees, and the Shadow Guard will support you next in matters regarding the infected."

"Thank you, Mr. Agent."

The doctor raised his arms and pressed them on his chest, bowing slightly.

Her purpose of working overtime for the past two days has been achieved, and she has obtained more support from Iron Blood Heavy Industries in a manner that complies with the rules.

For some people, it doesn't matter whether they do something or not. To get people like that to act, sometimes they just need a reason, and she just gave that reason.

And her purpose of doing this was just to reduce possible casualties.

The Doctor has never been a person who has no regard for life. She clearly understands the weight of the people she protects and kills, and therefore wants to save within the scope of her ability.

The communication ended here, and the picture on the screen disappeared, turning into a desktop set with a recent photo of Theresia walking dignifiedly in front of the palace.

At the same time, a letter appeared on Zhou Cheng's cell phone.

Not long after he came out of the workshop, he took a quick glance while walking on the street. Knowing that the agent was definitely 'monitoring' his cell phone, he still typed a reply to her——

'I don't care, just take care of it yourself. I believe you can handle it well, my proud head maid. '

'An agent will live up to your trust. '

The letter, which was answered completely within seconds, appeared immediately.

Zhou Cheng didn't reply this time, but he made a note in his mind that the agent would have to take care of him, and then he looked up at the side where the faint fragrance was wafting.

The blond Pegasus and the white-haired Pegasus were walking closely together. Xintrea was a little uncomfortable with it, but Maria held her hand eagerly and pointed her to this crowded street from time to time. Introduction to some snacks and beverage shops.

The sun shone on the bright smile of the energetic girl, but the helpless girl on the other side didn't notice that the corner of her mouth was also smiling.

PS: I want to taste Lapland’s jio after she finishes making mille-feuille, which is soaked in the smell of blood and the saltiness of the sweat that oozed out during the battle. The socks on her feet should also be moist, and she can feel a little bit of the breath. of water vapor.

PS2: If she takes a lick, will she hold her tongue between her toes with a wicked smile?

91. Folk customs are still not simple enough

"That 'Aunt Dolly's Tea Shop', the egg waffles in that shop are particularly delicious!"

Maria pointed to a shop surrounded by students taking a lunch break.

Xintrea frowned slightly and said with some resistance in a plain voice:

"But there are too many people."

She didn't want to be crowded with a group of people. Although she never liked being alone, she didn't like being too busy either.

Most people are like this. If there are too few people, they will be cold. If there are too many people, they will be hot. Only a suitable middle value can make them feel comfortable.

For Xinteleia, it is enough to have a boyfriend and a few ordinary friends with whom she has a good relationship.

Well, Maria is just an ordinary friend... She told herself this in her heart. The pure white Pegasus girl turned her head slightly and glanced at Maria who was holding her arms in her arms.

This smile is a little heartless.

If you twitch your arms a little, you can feel the soft ups and downs in your seemingly non-existent chest, but there is still a little bit of it.

Maria didn't show any signs of confusion. She smiled when she heard her words and said:

"Then we can go to the 'Left Coast' hotel. There are much fewer people there, but the price per person is a little more expensive."

Of course it's not that expensive, but it just makes the difference between students and working people.

Zhou Cheng, who had just finished reading the text message, looked up and saw that it was a Colombian-style Western restaurant with a clean and tidy appearance.

Then looking at the two Pegasus girls who were sticking together like close best friends, he interrupted the conversation and said:

"Maria is familiar with these?"

Maria turned back with a big smile and said with a little pride:

"As for me, when I come to Master Koval, I often buy food in the surrounding area, but I am very, very familiar with what delicious food is around, right?

"In addition to this Colombian restaurant, I also highly recommend the 'Xinji Breakfast Shop' in Longmen and the 'Syracuse Town' pizza shop in Syracuse!"

Looking at Maria who was talking about food recommendations with great interest, Xintrea muttered expressionlessly after a brief silence:

"Is your focus... entirely on food?"

"Hey~"

Maria giggled.

The beautiful girls stuck together are filled with the beauty of youth. They are like those students after school at noon, showing carefree smiles in the sun.

The sun in Casimir is very bright and warm. When it falls on your face, you can feel the slowly rising temperature and the refreshing dryness.

Maybe Skadi would like this dryness, but she rarely shows her face outside.

"boom--!"

The loud noise of the explosion interrupted Zhou Cheng's thoughts, and the boiling and burning air waves rushed towards his face under the shock wave.

The two girls, who had just been immersed in the beauty of daily life, showed good combat skills together. Maria subconsciously stood forward to block the impact of the explosion for them. The glimmer of Source Stone skills bloomed from her hands.

Xinteleia raised her hands, grabbed Zhou Cheng's arm with her left hand, and held Maria's shoulder with her right hand. She wanted to launch a space jump, but the pleasure of breaking free from the constraints of gravity just rose from her feet, and her hands Her motionless figure was like the mountains holding her in place.

Why is it so heavy...! ?

The moment she felt shocked, Xintrea saw the fire coming so close to her eyes that she had no time to avoid it.

However, there was no need to dodge. The condensed brilliance stood in front of them like a shield. The surging fire waves hit it like waves hitting the rocks. They spread along the side of the shield and spread out in all directions. It was huge but had almost no real effect.

"Humph……"

Maria groaned, her petite body trembled slightly, but she immediately supported the pillar steadily and withstood the subsequent smaller and smaller impacts.

The surging sea of ​​fire was diverted under the glimmer of perseverance, but other pedestrians were not so lucky. The overwhelming flames ignited the street, and screams and the sound of shattered glass rang out on the burning street.

Realizing that she was safe, Cinterella did not relax. She nimbly hid behind Maria who had used her Origin Stone skills to hold up a 'shield'. Pegasus' sharp eyes quickly scanned the air blurred by the flames. A suspicious place.

Although the cooperation is still a bit raw, the tacit understanding displayed can be said to have reached the standard of a 'partner'.

Linguang's sister Xiaguang and Bai Jin from the Wuzhou Alliance have become close partners?How could I have such a dream?

With his eyebrows raised slightly, Zhou Cheng raised his hand and patted the two tensed little Pegasus lightly on their shoulders, and said:

"Relax, no one will come through the sea of ​​fire to attack us, there will be no flying arrows or bullets."

The girl who maintained her Origin Stone skills with great intensity breathed a sigh of relief, then her childish face showed worry again, and she shouted hesitantly:

"Brother Cheng..."

After looking around, Cintera also looked over, but compared to Maria's worries, she was simply curious.

Zhou Cheng glanced at the blazing street, took out a ring from his trouser bag and put it on his index finger. Then the surface of the ring emitted a dense light. He raised his hand and held it in the air. The fire that spread to the roof suddenly seemed like Without oxygen, everything suddenly went out, leaving only the charred buildings still emitting hot smoke.

Smelling the burnt smell in the air, Zhou Cheng said:

"It's not for us, it's just an accident."

"The Federation of Commerce and the Supervisory Committee." Xintrea reminded, "I just saw the figure of a knight. Well, a competitive knight, very agile."

Although most competitive knights and business federations cooperate with each other, they are also on opposite sides of the hierarchy, but some of them are not without bribery.

The Wearless Alliance is the weapon of the Business Federation. It may be the easiest to use, but it is definitely not the only one.

"Is this already a terrorist attack?"

Zhou Cheng felt a little confused.

Is it necessary to use bombs to assassinate political opponents?It still seems like napalm.

Casimir doesn't seem to have simple folk customs, does he?

"Bombs... are actually not that rare."

This time it seemed that Xintreya saw what Zhou Cheng was thinking. She glanced around and said calmly:

"The people of Kuranta are quite strong, especially the warrior knights. If the Warriors Alliance doesn't take action to assassinate the warrior knights, they can only rely on the equivalent force."

Even if they don't use it, they won't use it. After all, the explosion in the city will cause them considerable losses.

But obviously, after all members of the Wuqi Alliance lost contact, the Commercial Federation could only use this trendy but retro method to assassinate the knights.

but……
