Chapter 137: 　Civil War

"Hey, the food in the academy restaurant is unpalatable, something like this can be called steak!"
Adele was angrily stirring the black pepper sauce on the steak with a silver fork, her eyebrows were almost twisted together, she was venting her dissatisfaction with the food. Allen, who was sitting across from her, had no worries at all. He accurately cut the steak into pieces of meat/grains with a knife, and then delivered them to his mouth at a nearly constant speed. Adele put down the knife and fork, crossed her fingers with her chin, looked at Alan who was eating with gusto, and said, "I really don't know how you (do it) got it. It's obvious that their steak is so unpalatable. The standard of cooks in Ugalle Castle is about the same as here, which is really a disaster."
Allen wiped out another piece of beef and shook his head: "If you live on the ground for ten years, you will be like me. You don’t care about the heat or the deliciousness of the food. On the surface, it’s already very good to have something to eat. Not bad."
Picking up a donut to serve as a side meal, Allen shook his voice and said: "For things like this, you will only use them as decoration or foil. After eating this meal, they will be thrown away, or passed Other channels flow to the surface. And my mother spends a lot of her savings every year for the food that mai falls to the ground from Babylon, because they are hardly contaminated. For myself, a doughnut, It is the full definition of happiness!"
Putting the donut in his mouth, Allen ate it at a slow speed. When the bread is grated through the chewing of the gums, the smell of wheat seems to bring time back to the past.
But everything can't go back!
A voice said so, Allen's heart ached, and his attention returned to this moment. Seeing it, Adele was cutting a piece of beef and putting it in her mouth. Allen shook her head and said, "Our growth environment is different. If you really can't eat it, don't force it."
Adele shook her head and said: "It's none of your business, even Aunt Lanni can eat something, there is no reason I can't do it. This is... Aunt Jing Lanni!"
She put a piece of beef into her mouth and bit down hard.
The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere, except that Adele complained that the beef was too old from time to time, so that her teeth were sore, the meal was good. After dinner, Adele led Allen towards the gate of the college.
"Where are we going?" Allen asked.
Adele blinked and said, "My sister will take you to (open) (open) your horizons."
"To be honest." Allen said in an angry voice.
Adele showed a pitiful look and said, "Okay, okay, it's like this. Tonight, there will be a gladiatorial match at the Venus Hotel. There is no limit. Guests who enter the venue can place/bet at will. , The top is not capped. How about it, do you want to see it, you can't see this kind of gladiatorial match all the time."
Allen frowned and said: "I thought this fighting would only be held in the dark streets."
"Of course it is impossible to publicize, after all, it is against the Federal Constitution, so it is only limited to a limited circle. The amount of bets/bets will not be too small, as long as a bet wins, it will be enough for my annual pocket . I think you have been so lucky recently, so I got two admission tickets from the guy Leon. Just now someone had a meal with you. Do you have to be my bodyguard for one night for free? Sister, I’m a giant paragraph!"
Allen asked casually: "How many did you bring?"
Adele whispered in his ear: "Ten million, all the assets I can use are here."
"So much!" Allen was really shocked. He had recently gotten millions from Leon, and he already felt a little dreaming. Seeing Adele running around with tens of millions of dollars now, she suddenly felt a little stranger.
"It's not much. It's mainly a small amount of money I won from a certain guy in the past." Adele smiled with curvy eyebrows, and that someone is naturally Alan in front of him.
"Go, let's go, I heard that Venus also invited soul singers to sing tonight. He is a newly-rising superstar, and he missed it when he arrived late." Adele dragged Alan out. College.
Outside the gate of the college, a speeding car with the logo of the Mosen family has been waiting for a long time. Allen was so angry that the girl had already planned it early. After the two got into the car, the speeding car started and drove them to the Venus Hotel.
Driving in the busy city of Babylon, the buildings on both sides of the highway are brightly lit, and neon lights of various colors are shining with blurred colors. The well-dressed people, the endless traffic, the towering buildings and the colorful lights all tell the prosperous Babylon. The floating island and the surface are like two worlds, one is heaven and the other is hell.
"You know, Babylon had another name when it (started)." Adele said suddenly.
Allen turned his gaze back from the bustling scene outside the window, and fell on Adele, waiting for the following.
"The Ark..." Adele whispered: "It carries the original beautiful vision. It was built to keep people away from the radiant ground. It is an Ark that leads people away from disasters. Unfortunately, human beings. , When too many people get together, power will be produced. Power always serves a few people. Therefore, those in power back then drove a large number of people off the ark in the name of overpopulation. After Sky Island, it was renamed Babylon... God’s Sky Garden."
"This is the origin of the contradiction between the floating island and the surface?" Allen asked.
Adele nodded and said, "Resentment will spread, and the change of times will not erase the original resentment. As time goes by, other ingredients have been added to this resentment, and it has become even bigger. . One day, it will explode in an all-round way. At that time...maybe there will be a civil war?"
"That's really bad."
"It's really bad, but these problems will make the big people headache." Adele gently waved her fist as if she was about to drive (open) something.
The Federal Civil War is a problem that no one wants to mention, but its hidden dangers are substantial. After all, it involves the interests of the federal government and the wealthy and aristocrats. In this regard, they will never compromise, but will only make symbolic concessions. But for people at a low level, it is not enough to make concessions. Unless they are exposed to the core of their interests, the contradictions will not be resolved, and resentment will be difficult to quell.
And this is precisely the crux of the matter.
Allen comes from the surface and has lived on Babylon for nearly two years. More than anyone, he can deeply understand the huge difference between the two worlds. But as Adele said, power will always belong to a small group of people, and so is the interest. No wealthy family would be willing to divide their assets equally among the people on the surface, so the contradictions will only intensify day by day.
In the event of a civil war, the children of the family like Allen take it for themselves to protect their family. But those who the sword is against are people who fight for their own reasonable rights. In such a war, who is right and who is wrong, and who can make it clear.
In contrast, the expedition to Outland is much simpler.
Colonial invasion is nothing more than two endings. One is that the winner is king, controlling the entire colonial star and turning it into one of the chain of interests, continuously providing resources and huge profits for themselves and for the family. The second is that the invasion failed and was killed by the natives of the planet, leaving their souls in a foreign land.
Either way, it is much simpler than the position in the Federal Civil War.
Allen remembered the first lesson of basic warfare that day, the tutor Professor Randolph once said: "War is never just!"
The Venus Hotel is here.
The speeding car entered the underground parking lot. In the carriage, Adele rubbed her hands and said, "My sister must kill the Quartet tonight, and win it all, or I won't leave tonight!"
Allen laughed and said, "I can't tell, you're still a gambler."
"Small bet to be happy."
"It's a small bet with ten million..." Allen shook his head. At this moment, the speeding car stopped. The two were about to get out of the car when suddenly a bright light came on behind the car. Alan squinted his eyes and saw the silhouette of a speeding car approaching them in the light.
Sudden crisis!
"Be careful, get out of the car." Allen shouted.
The two hurriedly opened (opened) the car door and rushed out of the car almost at the same time. Before landing, I heard a heavy impact from behind, followed by the sound of cracking and shattering of the car window glass. Allen rolled on the spot, then bounced off the ground, and saw a speeding car almost shoveling into the rear of Adele's seat frame. As for the driver in the front driver's seat, he was already lying on the steering wheel.
The wind rose suddenly. Suddenly two men in black rushed down from the car that caused the accident and attacked Allen. Both of them showed their marks, obviously at the level of eleventh level.
Taking advantage of his spare time, Allen glanced at Adele and saw four people rushing towards the girl. Obviously, this slaying game was arranged for Adele, if it was directed at Allen, then he should have sent a pair of four people right now. Who is so courageous that he dared to attack the young lady of the Mosen family. You know, Adele is a direct blood relative of the Mosen family!
Time did not allow Alan to think about it. Because Adele's invitation came suddenly, Alan didn't bring her fangs. Up and down the whole body, only the devil's praise behind the waist is available. Allen did not hesitate to pull out the dagger/sword~EbookFREE.me~ With a thought, the gems on the handle of the dagger/sword were full of blood. The dagger/head was immediately elongated, and a scarlet color was painted all over the blade. With the formation of that pitch black pattern, it immediately completed the change of the first-order form of blood hymn.
Holding a blood-red short knife, Allen suddenly crashed into the two men in black, and suddenly a group of fragments of red light burst out of his arms, and the two men in black exclaimed in unison. Even before the ability to activate, Allen was injured by the spark of a firework-like sword, throwing the left and right middle knives (open)!
On the other side, the battle between Adele and the four men in black also reached the point where a life or death sentence was reached. The eldest lady of the Morsen family is proficient in long-range sniper killing, but her close combat skills are really average. The four men in black each held a short knife, and they formed their own rules between advance and retreat, and they were proficient in joint combat. With just a few breaths, Adele has been hit in many places, but fortunately, she is still calm enough to change her injuries at a critical juncture until now.
Seeing that he was about to reach the limit, the sword was violent, and Adele's eyes were happy.
Alan kills!
