Vol 2 Chapter 617: Small talk (two in one)

Although Ling does seem to enjoy her new life in Libel-free and unrestrained, with reliable and trustworthy friends beside her, and being able to do what she wants to do, in essence, some imprints on people. It will not change after the moment, for example, Ling was once a lawless super hacker. In her spare time, Ling agreed to Cassius Bright’s request and strengthened the communications security of the Liber royal family, the military and some important departments, and made the firewall acuity to an amazing level. To the extent that it eliminates the possibility of stealing intelligence from other countries and forces. It is precisely because of this that Cassius acquiesces to some small movements that Ling sometimes can't help but make.
After all, it is a bit wasteful for a genius to keep him in a cage and restrict his freedom. Cassius understands this principle deeply. As long as it is not a matter of principle, he will not exercise too much control over this nominal adopted daughter; and Ling is also very sensible, and he is very sensible about things that are clearly beyond the boundary. , Generally stay away. The two sides reached a delicate balance, which has been maintained. But Heliga noticed that this meant that Ling was not fully integrated into Libel, or the atmosphere of the Bright family-only for Estiel and Joshua, and Tida. Choose before out.
It can also be seen from here that Cassius’s habit of dealing with things-no matter how he guarantees his daughter, reality is not a fairy tale after all, and there are some things that can’t be avoided, let alone ignored.
But now this is enough for Ling. Liber, who is on the edge of the continent, has been just a little unknown country since he was invaded by the empire until the time when the "Association" was born for the most precious treasure. After the "association" left, the country showed signs of returning to this attitude; except for some necessary meetings, even most of the diplomatic activities in the surrounding areas rarely saw Liber representatives. Domestically, living and working in peace and contentment, rich in material, foreign strategy is conservative and neutral, never easy to team-this is Libel's current strategy. After all, in terms of Liber's national strength, this may be the safest choice, and this is what the Liber royal family is willing to see for the people's quality of life and the stability of the country. Whether it is Queen Alicia, who is now on the eve of retirement, or Queen Kolotia, who is about to ascend the throne, they should not change this strategy casually.
Therefore, it is only in such a country that Ling can live well and freely, and make up for the lack of family, love, and friendship—and all the beauty above that because of the teasing of fate. Although this behavior similar to political exchange still makes Heliga dissatisfied with Cassius, this is the best choice that can be made at this stage. This is also the reason why Heliga didn’t choose to bring Ling to the empire—not because he didn’t like Ling, nor was it troublesome, but because he didn’t want to bring her back to the chaotic place—because all the clues have already been directed to The established future: There is bound to be a battle within the empire-and the "association", which has been aiming at the treasure, will focus all its energy on the empire in the near future.
However, even so, Heliga still felt a little ironic—because even thinking about herself this way, she still uses Ling, who has gradually moved away from these chaotic things, as an intelligence station.
"What's the matter?" Ling was originally following Heliga's request, telling Heliga about this period of time-but noticed that Heliga's expression was a little strange.
"It's nothing..." Heliga reluctantly forced a smile. "Continue to talk about what happened just now... Is Agat and Mayor Maybell all right?"
"Yeah... That mayor sister, who looks different from the outside, is unexpectedly bold. I heard Sister Sheila say that in the mayor's sister's own restaurant-brother Agat was confused. I was kissed, and it took a long time to react."
"After all, he is a guy with muscles in his head." Heliga snickered. "So, these two people have a good relationship now?"
"Yeah. And the identity can be considered to be able to match. Since Levigo gave him that time." Ling said a playful analogy, "he has always been the most active guerrilla on Libel... …Now that he has accumulated enough feats, Uncle Cruz said that if all goes well, he will be an A-level guerrilla next year...with Sister Shera. Of course, Esther and Joshua are also."
"Well... Libel has completely become a guerrilla base camp. There are a total of more than two dozen A-class guerrillas, and Libel alone will have four or five in the near future." Heliga curled his lips. "But considering the special status of the guerrillas in Liberty, it's not incomprehensible..."
"Hehe, yes. So when Aunt Erica was there, Agath came to say hello to Tida-their reaction was interesting. Aunt Erica seemed to particularly want to use the latest research. The mecha came to deal with Agat, but was stopped by Tida's father. The desire to protect is too much, she." Ling said cheerfully, "Yes, Heliga... Is Levi okay?"
"Overall it's pretty good. Old Man Yoguru treats him well, but now he is not on Crossbell's side. Besides, Levi should be quite uncomfortable if he just talks about it now, because he is hurt all over."
"Ah..." Ling said worriedly, and then she knew what was going on when she rolled her eyes. "Could it be that the "Seventh Pillar" is also at Crossbell? "
"Really smart," Heliga said, "but not long ago, the "Saint of Steel" also temporarily left. Before I left, I was left with a bunch of inexplicable words. "The last sentence was said by Heliga in his heart, but he did not say it.
"She is the only one?"
"There are also three female knights who look younger. Speaking of which, Ling should know them too? That "swift" Du Barry... I feel like I haven't seen a second one like her... Well, Idiot. Olibate's idiot is opposed to his serious side. He can't say which one is the real one, but Du Barry is pure and natural. "
"Hehe, I know you must remember this person-this is a famous association among executives... well, a joke."
"How do you say?" Heilijia became interested.
"Should she find a chance to preach that she has beaten Levigo once when she meets?" Ling said with a chuckle, "That time, Levi was just pulled by the "seventh pillar" for a special training, and then accompanied Macbon played a whole night of guidance games. He was exhausted a long time ago, but he happened to run into Du Barry again—that face really couldn't refuse, as Levigo said later. "
Heliga imagined the "face" in Ling's mouth-what kind of face was it?
Stubborn with a little bit of dissatisfaction, and still unwilling to fail after repeated failures, but his own personality makes him look ridiculous.
"Puff..." Just imagined, Heliga couldn't help but smile again, "So this is the only time he won, right? With so many off-court victories, she ignored it... Maybe She didn’t know, or she didn’t see it. But... Even so, it’s quite remarkable to be able to beat Levi once. Apart from anything else, it’s just the last time I went to some of Libel’s performers , No one can beat him."
"Um... I wouldn't count it as "Pattier Matil". The guy Valut has killed Levi several times, but Levi has always been lacking in interest and didn’t deal with it seriously. Even so, it’s almost a tie. Sister Luciola and Levi have a good relationship. There has never been any contradiction. As for the guy Kemparera...has always been a mystery, even for the "executors". But you're not wrong... The "Iron Aircraft" members all have the ability to become "executors"-at least they should be at an average level. Moreover, the "Seventh Pillar" seems to have been conducting special training on them. It is said that if they can master it, they have a special formation that can fight against the Juggernaut level. "
"Yeah. It's a pity that I broke that so-called formation in less than two minutes. I don't even know the most basic things that I need to know on the battlefield...tsk."
"Hee hee, of course it's because Helija, you are too good." Speaking of this matter, Ling didn't mean to tear down the stage. Instead, she said very proudly, as if her sister was complimenting her brother, "They naturally It can't be your opponent-after all, you are the one who can confront the corner of "Treasure". In other words..." Ling suddenly remembered something, "Since that time, "Association" seems to have listed your information as a special kind of existence... Although I am not sure now, all the future plans of "Association" seem to be They are deliberately avoiding your participation-this may be something you should pay attention to. "
"Yeah...maybe because of the identity of an outsider." Heliga thought of Rosey's words-he seemed to be excluded from the entanglements of various forces that were secretly brewing in the world of the empire, but Heliga himself had not yet He expressed his stance, he just wanted to figure out what was going on, and then make a decision, "But let's put this matter in the future. Now I am still more entangled in internal issues..."
"I know... you became famous in World War I," Ling said, "To be honest... I think this might be a burden for you, because it's tantamount to putting your every move on. You can't completely hide your whereabouts to act."
"Yes. But the benefits are also there... At least when making preparations, most people should understand that I am the celebrity next to His Royal Highness, and in a sense, I am also the benefactor of the royal family-let alone anything else. In my hometown, the oppression from the duke has recently eased a lot; if I make preparations myself, I should be less blocked."
"Well... I'm not too worried about Levigo helping you anyway." Ling said, "Speaking of which... Is there any special channel for Prince Olibat? Esther and Joshua thought before I had to find a way to get to the Empire, but only the one to Hamel was successful with the intervention of the Queen-all subsequent entry applications were basically rejected."
"That's natural. The Empire's fear of Cassius Bright has lasted from ten years ago to the present. It is impossible for the two of his children to obtain entry permits from the Empire, unless that The heavenly empire is a pro-Liber emperor-Olibate is impossible. As a concubine prince, unless he joins Osborne as a puppet, he will only be angry at both ends. But Cedric Your Highness does not seem to have too strong qualities now..."
"So you selected that little emperor and want to cultivate the first female emperor in the empire in thousands of years?" Ling joked.
"...Not to mention, putting aside the gender factor and just talking about character, His Royal Highness Alfin is more suitable than His Royal Highness Cedric. As for whether the empire will react greatly to women's emperor, I don't know. "Heliga curled his lips, "But I don't have the ability to control the throne... And speaking of it, you are now the adopted daughter of Cassius? Because of this, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the empire in a short time. It’s a pity, I wanted to invite you to visit my hometown..."
"It's good to have this hope." Ling said indifferently, "and after I am an adult, it has nothing to do with Libel in theory... then it won't be impossible to mediate. But..." Ling teased The tone said, "You are so concerned about your Royal Highness...Is there no reaction from Sister Fei?"
"Speaking of this... I also think it's a bit strange." Heliga said suspiciously, "Fei seems to see my...well, attitude towards Alfin, but her reaction over there is very ambiguous..."
"..." After hearing Heliga's explanation, Ling's face seemed to have a sense of uncertainty and relief for a moment.
"She really said that? Didn't you make up to lie to me?" Ling asked suspiciously.
"Of course not." Heliga didn't notice Ling's abnormal reaction. "You said...is this normal for girls?"
"Don't ask me. I don't understand the empire's feelings and customs." Ling said grimly, "Hey... if Estiel and the others know, I guess you will be uttered by them."
Suddenly, a rustling voice came from Ling, which caught the attention of the two of them.
"Someone is coming...I have to go. Later, I will give you the new temporary access code. I remember that "Tolz" has a conductive terminal, right? And there is a pure version of this program...Just find someone to get it at that time, and it won't be too difficult. "
"What about Jonah?"
"I've arranged everything. He won't notice anything. I'll sort it out later, and I will find a way to send it to you next time." Ling smiled slyly, "So...that's it. Thank you for coming here. I--"
