Gabriel shook his head, as if he wanted to neutralize the wine he had just drunk and return to a clear mind: "This time it's not a gamble!" The volume increased slightly, "Even if you have weapons and equipment that other knight squires don't have, and a dozen or so military airships that your father left you, it won't be long before the family completely lifts the restrictions on their use." As one of the more special of the thirty-six knights, how much information do you think you can hide? Just by virtue of Atohuan's work on intelligence, some of the information circulating in the black market will be eliminated, and the enemy will lose the source of information?"

"As I said not long ago, Kasia will be an obstacle to your progress for a long time. At the same time, you will also be an obstacle to Kasia's progress. Behind the enemy are the families who are not much different from Webley, what you have in your hands, they want to get it, and then distribute it casually, there is no need for a reason at all, and it is very simple. Now, you'll need to stay in your quarters, the rules of the Imperial Council will still be in place, and no one will force their way into the knights' quarters. ”

"When this time passes, it will be your freedom to go wherever you want after that. ”

Ye Jielin shook her head, "I think many things can't be considered purely by absolute rationality. ”

"But now you need to be absolutely rational. Gabriel emphasized, "The mad girl has left the empire and gone to the Endless Sea." Two days ago, as a knightly squire and a member of the Knights of the Round Table, you should know this information. The time node chosen by the enemy is stuck right here, no more, no less, do you think there is no problem in it?"

Gabri knew that Ye Jielin would not answer, and continued after drinking half a glass of wine, "After all, what she restricts is that the surgeon after the fifth stage will not rush out to move, but the scope is limited to the empire. But don't forget that there is also a person in the empire who is not intimidated by the Mad Girl, the former patriarch who voluntarily broke away from the Chiraandi family - Tovelest. I would very much like to believe that there was a pair of his hands behind this incident. So you have to know that you're going to be dealing with an alliance that is connected by Toverest. He has a technology that Avalon has listed as taboo, and many members of the family's Presbyterian Church want to get it, and I don't think the Webley family is an exception. ”

"Relying on the current Chiraandi family and the Imperial Parliament to maintain this balance is completely inadequate, and it is destined to be constrained. ”

"But they don't dare to really come out either, as long as the information is known, and when the mad girl returns to the empire, no one can bear her wrath. Ye Jielin added at this time, but it was only a weak rebuttal. During his tenure as secretary-general, Gabri knew too many ways to deal with this matter, even if the process was cumbersome, but these families would do whatever it took to achieve a result. Because this is already a challenge to Mad Girl's current status as a knight king in the Empire, it is only a glimmer of sunlight to dispel the shadows on its surface.

The plan for Jet Lin is not the goal, and attracting Kasia is also an add-on. Within the Empire, the families who will later help their enemies will take the opportunity to regain the balance they have worked out with each other. And the biggest obstacle is tantamount to the third generation of knight kings who completely broke this balance.

"Believe me, deterrence is deterrence, unless Mad Girl is inside the Empire at the moment, whether Mad Girl killed a fifth-stage surgeon or a Knight of the Round Table, the power of this deterrence will be weakened as Mad Girl goes to the Endless Sea. Everyone is a surgeon, and everyone has more or less luck in their hearts because of this identity. If his head hadn't actually been blown open by a bullet, even if you put the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, he would still think he still had a chance. ”

"And you're not staying in the station for safety, it's about showing yourself that you're not going to go into the trap they've set and tell the enemy that there's no need to plan carefully. If they did attack the station, the nature of the matter would be completely different. At that time, both the major families and the Imperial Diet will find a reason to intervene. ”

"And what is between me and the enemy?"

"Normal fighting among knights and squires, rationalizing competition. To put it another way, you are now just toys to be manipulated, with no so-called freedom, and you are simply the spokesmen used by the various families to make their own stands. Thirty-six knight squires, all they have are the potential to be a little higher than the others, and a head that is temporarily ahead. And the final victory requires many, many numbers of people, and success in all aspects, to complete it. Gabriel answered, "If you want to win, you need to spend more time on what is necessary." I've reminded you more than once that even if you want to help Kasia, you have to know your influence and power. It's still too far off, and there's very little to do, at least within the Empire, that requires the deployment of regular armies. A large number of events do not seem to be disobedient when seen as normal communication meetings in the circle of surgeons. ”

Ye Jielin lay back on the bed, sighed and stopped talking. She lifted her eyes, picked up the book next to her, and continued to look.

"This time, I don't want you to think about it, but you have to think about it. The family supports your team and supplies, which definitely means members of the Senate. They don't want the Webley family to be unstable under their control, and even if you are a knight's squire, you are extremely valuable, but the starting point is contrary to their pursuit of a long life. Besides, many people in the family know how you got your knight squire spot. So, this support is both good news and bad news for you. ”

"By the way, if there is anything you can't get around in the process of thinking, as you are, you can come and go as you like to the hospital where your father is currently staying. Gabriel was already standing at the door, still holding the unfinished wine in his hand, "If I were you, aside from the fact that he was your father, as the former patriarch of the Webley family, such a person with the ability and vision to read books and build some flowers and plants every day in the hospital ward, I don't think it's worth it, and it is a complete waste of something of great value." ”

"Putting aside your identity and treating him as a tool that you can consult and ask for at will, whether it's for you or for him, I think you can both get what you want. ”

After saying that, he closed the door directly, and Gabriel knew what the last thing Ye Jielin wanted to hear was. But speaking of which, because of the mission, he watched Jetlin grow up since he was a child, and the things that Jetlin's mother, Mrs. Manshelley, had delivered to her before she went to the tundra, so that Gabrie's care and protection of Jetlin began to detach itself from the meaning of the word "mission" itself.

I've realized this, but for the current Gabriel, it doesn't seem to matter much.
