Chapter 163: Charlemagne's Death
"He succeeded?" The sailors were astonished, after all, Haynes's plan was so fantastical that he had only heard of God creating man, but had never heard of man-made gods.
"I was in charge of investigating this matter with Neo's father, Charlemagne, the future head of the Habs family, when the Presbyterian Church had moved back to Europe, and we re-established the Sky Canopy Company on the basis of the American branch of the Presbyterian Church, on the one hand, to stabilize our power in the United States, and on the other hand, to carry out the work of investigating Haines."
Finch picked up the picture again, stared at Haynes on it for a while, and said, "From this picture, Haynes is a little different from back then, he wasn't in a wheelchair back then." ”
"Did you find him?" Finch was a little impatient, this story must be very exciting later, of course, there was a question that suddenly made him very interested, Charlemagne was a well-known figure in the Presbyterian Church, the position of the chief elder of the Presbyterian Church has been hereditary of the Habs family since the eleventh century, and Charlemagne's talent in the new generation of pure-bloods at that time was the most powerful, and he could be called a rising star among the descendants of Moriah.
However, this new star fell suddenly and silently ten years ago, and there are many opinions about his death among the descendants of Moria, and there has never been an accurate account.
It's exciting to hear one of the parties talk about it today.
"We suspected that under the protection of the CIA, after the end of World War II, Haynes has been hiding on a small island in the Pacific Ocean to continue his research, but we have not been able to get conclusive evidence, and we can't tear up the skin with the CIA, after all, there is an agreement between us and the human government, and we don't want to interfere too much in some of their internal operations, especially in a sensitive department like the CIA."
But Charlemagne didn't think so, he was a rather enthusiastic man, young, confident, and thoughtful, and he had always been dissatisfied with the Moriah Presbyterians' way of doing things, and always felt that something should be done, and there were many conflicts with old Mr. Habs and the other three elders for this. That's it, he attaches great importance to the establishment of the Skylight Company, and has invested a lot of effort, hoping that the Skylight Company can use high-tech capabilities to strengthen the power of the Moria Elders, instead of relying only on those innate talents, he is always worried about the future of the Moria people, feels that there are many crises, and does not trust the human government, so he ......"
Finch stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a crystal bottle, poured himself a glass of brandy, and asked the sailor, "Would you like one?" ”
"Yes, Doctor." The sailor was not polite, and went up to take the cup himself, and asked Finch to bring him a large cup.
"Doctor, I've heard a little bit about this, too. Previously, the Moria Elders did not allow half-bloods to participate in battles, and their Demon Hunter Knights were all pure-bloods. They considered the half-breeds unclean and unqualified to represent the Moria. ”
Finch nodded and said, "That's right, this history is not a secret in the Sky Curtain Company, and everyone knows about it." In the end, it was a pedantic medieval chivalric mentality, believing that only the nobility was qualified to participate in the war to defend the clan. Charlemagne was disgusted by this, so we reached a consensus at the time that the Skylight Company would no longer be restricted by bloodline in recruiting operatives, whether they were mixed-race or pure-blood, and their status could only be measured by ability. ”
As they spoke, they returned to the couch and sat down.
The sailor said: "Speaking of which, Charlemagne is also one of the heroes I admire, without him, there would indeed be no half-breed today." ”
"In fact, at this point, the Atlanteans are much more open than us, they recruit no matter what kind of race, even humans." Finch shook his head with a wry smile.
The sailor said, "Well, they have a big group of followers, just like Kebby. ”
Finch spread his hands and did not deny it: "Yes, this is indeed the case, but followers are generally profit-oriented, and are not particularly loyal to the Atlanteans, this is a matter of belonging after all, they are human after all." However, the power of their half-bloods is not to be underestimated, such as the Divine Servants, the Guards, and of course, some of the Half-Bloods you have not seen in Sierra Leone. ”
"Doctor, did Charlemagne catch Haynes in the end?"
"Alas......" Finch suddenly sighed and looked up at the ceiling again, "He was still too impulsive, and went to that island by himself without telling everyone, including me, that it was too late." ”
"What's going on?" The sailor took a sip of wine, and the golden liquid slid into his esophagus, and a wave of warmth welled up, and he felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
"That island......" Finch frowned, it seemed that it was difficult to find the exact words to describe it, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "That island......" he swiped in the air with his palm, "and the whole thing disappeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean." ”
"Gone?"
"yes, it's gone." Finch's eyes were still full of doubts when he mentioned this, "A small island of nearly one square kilometer disappeared into the sea without a sound, and even the monitoring station in the Hawaiian Islands, where the Pacific Fleet Command is located, failed to monitor any movement. It wasn't until the command found out that the people on the island had not sent a regular contact signal at the specified time that a few F-15s were sent to check, but nothing was found except for a piece of seawater, and then the submarine and engineering ships went there, but they still did not find anything of value. ”
"Neo's father, Charlemagne, just gone?"
"Well, it's gone, since then, there has been no news of him, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Charlemagne is probably buried in the sea, but the body has not been found, everyone has placed some false hopes on them to deceive themselves, the Habs family has not stopped looking for many years, but unfortunately, these things cannot be solved by money and power. My poor Charlemagne......"
"So, was Haynes on the island back then?" The sailors had always been obsessed with Haines.
"Yes, of course." Finch was very sure, "After the island disappeared, the senior officials of the CIA and DOD who were in charge of the construction of the island project naturally came into our sight, but soon these people died mysteriously one by one, all kinds of bizarre deaths, obviously were wiped out, judging from the information found in their offices and archives, Haynes did hide on that island for decades." ”
"He succeeded?"
"No one knows if he succeeded or not, or if the damn Godlight project went through decades of innovation, and the entire island was destroyed, leaving nothing behind, including hundreds of meters underwater, as if the entire island hadn't existed in the Pacific Ocean for a long time."
Finch's expression looked very regretful.
"How can an island disappear for no reason?" The sailor shook his head in disbelief, "It can't be blown up by a nuclear bomb, right?" ”
"In addition to nuclear bombs, there is another possibility."
"What possibility?"
