The only way to do this is to resist with a temporary alliance like the one she is doing to stop her momentum. We have no way and no corresponding strength. "Realistically, Violet's purpose in gathering information is to see the reality clearly for herself and her allies, and not to relax psychologically because of the apparent strength of the temporary alliance.

"Any other news?" Ovilla, not wanting to spend too much time thinking about these things, interrupted Violet from the topic.

Looking at the past, Violet nodded, there was no dissatisfaction with this, and there was no expression other than a smile on that face. It seems that it can always make people feel comfortable, coupled with the beauty of the appearance, after looking at it for a while, a lot of bad emotions will automatically melt away. It melts snow and ice, and no one hates the sunshine.

"There are many more, which seem to have nothing to do with us, but if you use Kasia and Yeterin as information nodes, they can all be connected. In addition, the new test subject that had only arrived in the family, although I had not yet learned about it in time, was never a symbol of great power to me, but a source of danger to me. Miss Auville, if you have an intuition, I think it's best to follow it, it's important. ”

Violet apparently did not elaborate on other information, and said that she would bring it in the form of a document and give it to Ovellia and Adelaide. There are too many of them, and they will affect the future direction of the empire, at least those are references. Now they must conform to the changes they are taking, otherwise they will not get good results if they lose the dazzling light of the previous years.

"I'll go over again tomorrow and make an alliance with Hack Hill. Based on the general conversation a month ago, the hack will find a suitable reason to return to Manoma and help us in the shadows. In the case of the airship, the four of us will go together to discuss the plan and goals, and it will be a week later. After concluding the conversation, Violet got up and went to the cupboard, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it before slowly leaving.

The room was spacious, with a wooden chair without a backrest in the center, in the vermilion color, which was the original color of the wood. It is made directly inlaid without much processing. In front of the wooden chair is an equally simple stand, on which two canes are placed in a crossed shape.

One is pitch black and reflects a harsh light, but it has the touch of absorbing everything, similar to the starry night sky.

One is the gray color of the oxidized ivory, and the color of the face of the dying person at the moment before he dies completely, so the contrast is very suitable. There is no brilliance, and even if there is, it will not shine in this haze-like gray.

The wooden floor is tan in color, untreated, and is cut into slices and inlaid directly, giving it an extremely rough appearance. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room, the snow-white walls, and a few windows that weren't very distinctive, and they all seemed to have nothing in common. A strange room cobbled together from random gadgets from all over the place.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun shone through the window and landed diagonally on the vermilion wooden chair in the center of the room and on the shelf with the two canes, at the sound of the door opening, the expressionless man walked in alone and sat down on the chair.

His back was straight, and the gray-white dress on his body seemed to indicate that in this state, the hollow in his heart would expand infinitely until he swallowed himself. The calm breathing, the gaze that stayed on the two canes as soon as he entered, and the top hat that pulled a diagonal shadow on his face were always accompanied by horror.

The interior of the room was not softened by the sunlight, and the sculptures that appeared in the room from time to time on the wooden chair were the ones that appeared in the room, and every time such a lonely time was magnifying something in the body and heart of the horror.

As time passed, and when the light had completely left the center of the room, and only the blink of an eye moved, he got up and picked up the gray-white cane, sat down and placed it on his lap, gently caressing its smooth material.

"Lyle, what's the matter?" After a few breaths, a magnetic voice rang out.

Lyle, who had been waiting outside the door for a while, nodded subconsciously: "It's a new message from Miss Violet, everything is going well, she will come here again in a week." ”

"Miss Sako graduated from Manoma and became a researcher at the Imperial History School, continuing her studies at the top institution in the school. Many people have thrown out invitations, and I have listed them and their details. In addition, the people who hindered Miss Sha Ke in the process, or who had threatening tendencies, were also rationalized and cleared up before today. ”

"Young Master Xiao, do you need to see the information documents? There was a pause in the middle, as a loyal subordinate of Hack, an absolutely competent butler, Lyle who followed Hack when he was a teenager, although he didn't understand Hack, but in some things, he could feel Hack's current mood and state.

This is the fifth time I've recently entered this room. From the seminary to this prosperous area along the coast of the empire, Lyle remembered that after arranging the room here, he had hardly come here to meditate so often, except for taking his own cane. Every time he sat in his room, Lyle remembered that after that, something would happen.

Meditation, or self-examination, Lyle understands it.

"Contact Miss Violet and tell her to meet at the old place. Miss Shako, I just need the information of the members who have been cleared. When the words fell, Xiao had already opened the door of the room, and the smile with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, pulling up the arc. It was not deliberately suppressed, but the richness and quantity of emotions accumulated in his heart did not allow him to be completely satisfied.

"Lyle, get ready for the ferry ticket back to Manoma, there is a need for my stand-in to handle the day-to-day business. "Hack walked in front, and the direction was the large living room of this villa.

"In the evening, prepare the advanced communication machines, as well as the information provided by Violet, and inform me of the news that has been filtered out, so that the black market tipsters who have got the money can release them one by one according to our schedule. As he spoke, he and Lyle went to the large living room, where two unhealthy-looking men were already sitting on the sofa beside them, their backs straight.

At the moment when Lyle was surprised and felt the danger, Hack stretched out his hand to block in front of him, "No need, people from the family, this time for my commission. ”

Two of the newly deployed lieutenants returned with more serious injuries than Kasia expected. But seeing that Isha was complete and didn't have much contact with the new lieutenant, Kasia's heart didn't even fluctuate a little. Whether you get used to it or not, there are often a lot of casualties around you, although the reason is not herself, but for a long time, Kasia has long regarded it as a part of her daily life.
