Chapter 523: About to Depart
Daphne was already beginning to regret it.
She regretted why she had rashly written to Yang Ming.
First, she was not completely sure that Yang Ming was Hamton.
Second, the current situation is chaotic. If she does nothing, she can rely on her influence among the people of the empire and the deterrent power of the White Ghost to safely survive this period of time. But now, if her risky move is discovered, then what will happen is...
Daphne couldn't understand why she did such an abnormal thing.
In fact, she had only met Count Reville a few times, and just heard that Reville was the "follower" of the White Ghost, so she impulsively chose Reville as the messenger.
If Revelle reported the letter, the old monsters in the empire would quickly find out that she was behind it.
Daphne sat in the lounge in the corner of the Tentacle Organization's command center and sighed softly.
Anyway, we have done it, so there is no need to be too pessimistic;
It is better to think about how to deal with possible dangers next.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a gentle knock on the alloy door of the lounge.
Daphne was a little nervous, but she quickly adjusted her expression and looked calmly at the door of the lounge.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the middle-aged maid, 'history teacher', came in with a tired look, nodded slightly to Daphne, and sat on the sofa next to Daphne.
"well……"
The head of the Tentacle Organization was already very sleepy at this moment, and whispered:
"Your Highness, what can we do?"
"You are very tired," Daphne said, "Go and have a rest ."
“I can’t rest yet.”
The history teacher said softly:
"Even if His Majesty chooses to remain silent, we have to help His Majesty organize the information. Moreover, Daphne, we must protect His Majesty's safety now."
Daphne nodded slightly and stared at the table in the distance, a little absent-minded.
The 'history teacher' stared at the crack in the door in a daze.
The atmosphere inside is quiet and harmonious.
"Are you worried about something, Daphne?" the 'history teacher' asked softly.
Daphne said gently, "You taught me a lot of truths when I was a child, but now I suddenly realize that these truths are correct, but fewer and fewer people follow them."
The 'history teacher' laughed and said, "You are kind-hearted, Daphne. Unlike me, I lost myself a long time ago. Now I am just a vassal of the imperial power and a messenger of His Majesty. Only by clinging to this big tree can I find the meaning of my life."
"The Tentacle Organization has grown to its current size under your leadership," Daphne said, "This is an achievement that most imperial officials cannot even begin to achieve."
"It's not a merit, Daphne."
The 'history teacher' smiled bitterly.
She slumped on the sofa, a finger against her temple, and her eyes gradually became brighter.
"I have always placed my hopes on Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can step forward to rectify the administration of the empire and suppress those royal relatives, but this is just my wishful thinking.
“I want to do these things just to make me feel alive and that my life has meaning.
“When we perceive the world, we are always used to regarding our thinking logic as the operating logic of the world. But in fact, the operating logic of the world is an objective law for individuals, and the influence of each individual on the existing rules is very limited.
“That’s it, Your Majesty.
“Your Majesty actually tried many times, but he kept hitting a wall. Every time he threw a punch, it hit the air and got stuck in the mud. Gradually, he no longer had the urge to throw a punch.
“Just like now, Director Ino is holding meetings continuously, and more and more emerging nobles are standing behind Director Ino.
“But they are always at a disadvantage. Those conservatives, I mean, those elite members of the Sherman family who have died of natural causes but uploaded their consciousness into the server, always control the empire’s army and finances.
"If Your Majesty doesn't stand up, how can we fight them?"
Daphne leaned back in her chair and thought carefully: "Can't you persuade my father?"
The 'history teacher' simply said, "Your Majesty is asleep."
Daphne could only smile bitterly.
"Daphne, it would be great if the White Ghost could come back now."
The 'history teacher' whispered softly as if in a dream:
“A storm is brewing within the Empire.
“The huge defeat at the Falling Wind Border has put us in an absolute crisis.
“If the White Ghost could emerge and stand up to raise his arms and direct all the spearheads toward the Sherman family, the energy of the storm within the empire would be released toward those corrupt old guys, and the empire could usher in a new life .
“But this White Ghost seemed to have known that the Empire would be in its current situation. He disappeared after the explosion, and the last time he showed up, he deliberately diverted traffic from His Majesty’s speech… I recently studied White Ghost’s behavior and found that many of his actions have a purpose.
"Sometimes I wonder if White Ghost wants to be the new emperor of the Sherman Empire? If he wants to start a huge change, why doesn't he take action now?
"If he takes action, it will become a spear, and we can see more variables and hope."
"Your words are a little dangerous," Daphne warned, "Although this is our base camp, we still need to be cautious."
"I don't have anything to care about anymore, Daphne."
The 'history teacher' smiled and said:
"You know my past. For the throne, His Majesty made me live like a prostitute. I have lost my dignity.
“Once a person loses his dignity, he loses everything.
"I have been the shadow in your majesty's shadow for so many years, how could I be afraid of these threats?"
Daphne could only sigh.
She pondered, imagining the future prospects of the empire in her mind, but could not get a clear answer.
"Let's just hold on for now," Daphne said. "Hanton has been watching us and the Sherman Empire. The reason why the conflicts in the empire have been intensified and magnified, and even the military setbacks suffered by the empire, may all be due to his influence."
"You seem to know something."
Daphne said: "All I know is that the empire is in trouble now."
"Daphne, if you can contact White Ghost, please ask him to come back, even if it means assassinating those old bastards from the Sherman family. Otherwise, this empire will really be doomed!"
"You are too pessimistic," Daphne said, "The size of the empire means that we will not ."
"If you take a closer look at the economic data of the empire in the past twenty years, you might change your optimistic idea."
Buzz, buzz!
The communicator next to Daphne was vibrating slightly.
She calmly picked up the communicator, opened it and glanced at it, with a slight tremor in the corner of her eye.
【knew.】
Yes, this is a message from the official account of the White Ghost Galaxy Fan Club!
knew?
Did he get the letter?
Hanton is Yang Ming? What does he mean by these three words in response to himself? He doesn't want to take care of the mess of the empire?
That's right, he now has the Luofeng Alliance. His pioneer mission can be perfectly implemented by the Luofeng Alliance. In the Luofeng Alliance, he is the absolute controller, unlike the Empire, which still has a group of corrupt nobles and rotten zombies.
He replied to me.
"Daphne?" the 'history teacher' wondered, "You are smiling so happily, is there any good news?"
"No."
Daphne swept away her previous decadence and gloom, and slowly sat up straight with her slender figure.
"Come on, let's think about what we can do! We also control some forces, right? At the very least, the Imperial Star is under the full control of the tentacles. We can pose a direct threat to the Council of Elders and some nobles and generals.
“How about checking their taxes?”
"Why are you so motivated all of a sudden?"
The 'history teacher' shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, since you want to do something, let's see how we can help Director Ino and the others."
"You don't have to help my great-uncle Ino," Daphne said with bright eyes, "We are not anyone's vassal. We want to be their partner. The imperial power is not completely invalid for the Sherman Empire."
The 'history teacher' smiled a little and cheered himself up again:
"That's true. Let's give it a try. Maybe we can change something."
…
The beach, the girl, and the blue sky.
Boss Yang was enjoying the rare sea view of Yilando Star. He let out a comfortable sigh as he watched Mimili and several of her fairly attractive female subordinates playing on the beach.
It’s really nice to spend a vacation at the seaside.
This was the fourth day of vacation, and he and Mimili had spent several wonderful nights.
He didn't have to think about the annoying politics at all, stay away from the intrigues between the various political systems, and put aside the pressure of military construction. The urging news from the Fayya people... this was something he couldn't ignore.
Alas, the Fayyads sent another message yesterday.
——This kind of message sending is not directly edited and sent to Yang Ming’s communication terminal, but is completed through a server specially placed by Lu.
In a sense, the Faya people prefer to communicate with mechanical thinking entities like Lu, with whom they can exchange massive amounts of information instantly.
Yesterday's news was very informative, to the effect that:
[Now, the Falling Wind Alliance is rapidly moving towards becoming the fifth largest political entity in the Milky Way. The potential contained in the Falling Wind Alliance has been recognized by us. We will watch the growth of this political entity and see what surprises it will bring in the future.
But the Sherman Empire's Imperial Star is still a huge threat to the Luofeng Alliance.
Due to the rules we set ourselves, we cannot directly change the form of any material in the basic material world. The way to destroy the Levi system at the lowest cost is for you to go to the City of Light and solve the Levi mind body.
Levi's mind body did arrive in the higher-dimensional world in the past, but he could not find self-identity in the higher-dimensional world. He tried to integrate into us, become us, and lead us, but was eventually expelled by our common main consciousness.
We did not stop him from completing his dimensional upgrade, although he destroyed too many civilizations in the galaxy in his dimensional upgrade. But this also represents a possibility.
But even after he was promoted to a higher dimension, he still couldn't get rid of the bad habits of a ruler, which is something we cannot tolerate.
We didn't break any rules in expelling him.
Now, you must face this difficult problem, Earth Forerunner.
You control Pioneer No. 5 to control the start time of the game. This is within the scope permitted by the rules. We will not put any pressure on you, but you should learn to face these two objective problems.
In addition, when you enter the City of Light, we will provide you with technical support. Your mechanical assistant is an excellent existence. We look forward to the day when she leads Dark Star into the higher-dimensional world.
You must speed up. The war in the higher-dimensional world is still going on. We may take you and Posa back at any time.
Everything must follow the rules. 】
That's about it.
The Fayya people said that they would not put any pressure on him, but the news itself was already putting pressure on him.
Boss Yang also felt a little uneasy.
It can be said that a large part of what he has achieved today is due to the help of the Fayarians. He also uses the Fayarian flag every day to intimidate other political entities in the galaxy.
Now the Fayya people have only assigned him a mission, but he is still making excuses...
Whether the Earth can take the back door depends on whether Brother France is willing to lend a hand.
Boss Yang sighed. After receiving the news, he ordered Lu to tinker with the equipment and said that he would rush to the City of Light as soon as possible.
How to enter the City of Light?
In fact, it is very simple, just like playing "Abyss" back then. Put on a game helmet, create a virtual character account in the City of Light ruled by Levi, and then conquer the City of Light step by step, and finally kill the big boss inside - Levi.
"Isn't this the DLC for Abyss?"
Boss Yang complained calmly.
The shadow of Lu appeared beside him;
She was clearly a realistic projection, but she insisted on lying on a beach chair in a bikini.
"Boss, when exactly are you going to leave? I'll arrange a celebration for you!"
Yang Ming asked: "Is it necessary to be so ceremonial?"
"The sense of ritual is very important," Lu said with a smile, "Also, after you enter the City of Light, in order to reduce the possibility of being exposed, it is best not to go offline. I have prepared the most advanced nutrient tank for you."
Yang Ming's forehead was covered with black lines: "I hate that thing! The reason I fought back then was just to avoid eating my own excrement in the nutrient tank!"
"Boss, what makes you think that excrement will remain in the nutrient solution?"
"Isn't it?"
"We have molecular filtration devices," Lu blinked. "In order to extend the use time of the nutrient solution and save costs, nutrient tanks thousands of years ago would have molecular filtration devices added!"
Yang Ming snorted: "Yes, yes, I have no common sense."
Lu hurriedly said, "I said the wrong thing. Boss, you are so smart and wise, but you have not received systematic scientific education about the Milky Way."
"What's the situation outside?"
"Emilia has only slept four hours a day for several days in a row. She is exactly like His Majesty Adwan, a workaholic."
The law said quickly:
"The current situation is simple and chaotic. There has been a preliminary split among the top leaders of the Sherman Empire, and more than 300 serious conflicts have occurred among the people. Everyone is calling for the Sherman family to step down, including the nobles.
“The New Federation, the Guel Alliance, and the Free United States have announced that they will conduct military exercises outside the Empire’s borders.
"Yesterday two more vassal states declared independence from Sherman's Empire.
"A large number of slave resistance organizations emerged in Sherman's empire. There were several landmark events in which slaves seized several major factories and demanded that the imperial authorities amend the law to recognize their equal citizenship status.
"The Empire announced a plan to expand its military, but problems arose with the traditional sources of soldiers, and only a few people signed up to join the army."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "The best empire is a divided empire. How is Revel's situation?"
"We are still preparing some gossip," Lu said with a smile, "The soldiers who accompanied him have been released back to the Sherman Empire. His family has reacted strongly and wants to put pressure on the top leaders of the empire through the Council of Elders to ensure Revel's safety."
Yang Ming said:
“Let’s continue to move forward according to the ideas we have set before.
“First, promote Revil as a hero who would rather die than surrender, and then have him speak to the Empire, making sure the Empire officially apologizes and recognizes the justice of the Luofeng Alliance’s self-defense counterattack. Only in this way can we create a more relaxed environment for Luofeng in the future.
"You haven't apologized even after you've been defeated. Isn't that shameless?"
"Maybe they will try to change this history in the future... Should we continue to communicate with Her Highness Daphne?"
"Wait a little longer," Yang Ming said, "Don't rush this matter. Now we need to have strategic determination... I'm going to the City of Light tomorrow. It's not good to hide all the time. It's time to find Levi to start a fateful duel."
"Okay boss, I'll arrange the departure ceremony for you."
Lu stretched out, showing off the beautiful body she had sculpted with her own hands.
"Also, Boss, fatalism is pseudoscience."
