Chapter 773: The Collapsed Bridge

Until the end of the meeting just now, Xia Feng had been thinking about a kind of speculation in his heart.

Hela is not a "human", she is from the deep sea, and she is the messenger of the God of the Envelope of the [Apocalypse], combined with the disappearance of the cruise ship decades ago, and his experience on the sea 1 year ago, this speculation is bound to appear.

Hela may have the ability to control the minds of ordinary people.

Like a puppet, she has controlled some of the high-ranking people in the empire through special methods, and she may even control King Wilansen or Princess Verin.

However, Hela's words just now overturned this speculation.

Yes, it is theoretically impossible to completely control people's minds, such as the so-called "witchcraft" or "hypnosis" in the movie.

If Hela really has this perverted ability, then there is no need to play.

.....

As if seeing through Xia Feng's heart, Hela moved her face away and calmly took a few steps back.

"Do you think that I have threatened the king of this country by some despicable means?"

Xia Feng was still holding the source stone in his pocket.

"Isn't it?"

"Heh, your imagination is really rich, I'm sorry, I don't have that ability, everyone's choice will follow their own heart, the Yuan Council is like this, Princess Verin is the same, and I, just told them some truth."

"The truth?"

"You'll find out someday."

Hela took her noble medal in her hand and tossed it lightly.

"Xia Feng, I know that you are a very special person, and I am not targeting you, in fact, I have no intention of being an enemy of you, this is not a game you can participate in, leave this country, maybe you will live longer."

Seeing that Xia Feng didn't speak, Hela held the medal in her hand.

"Okay, if you're not going to kill me here, then I'll take my leave, and I'll see you at the next meeting, Lord Xia Feng."

With that, Hela turned around defenselessly, got into a car and left.

...

For a moment just now, Xia Feng really wanted to lead out the black and white twins without caring about anything, and fought to the death with Hela in front of the door of the administrative building.

But this extreme idea lasted less than 1 second, and he gave up.

Will killing Hela really solve everything, or will the Empire's decision-making against the infected really end with Hela's death?

As it stands, the answer is no.

Just now, a word from Hela reminded him.

[Everyone's choice will follow their own heart, the Yuan Council is like this, Princess Verin is the same, and I, just told them some truth]

Now Victoria's king is still Willanson, but Princess Verin will definitely not turn a blind eye to the decisions of the Yuan Council, and it is clear that this decision has been acquiesced in by Verin.

Based on what he knew about Verin, Her Royal Highness the princess, who had inherited the [wisdom] of the previous king, was definitely not an idiot who was stupid enough to listen to incitement and joke about her own country.

In other words, if the decision to control infected people is something that Willin agrees with, then there must be a reason to exchange the equivalent of that decision.

That is what Hela just said about the "truth".

.....

Standing in the parking lot in front of the administration building, Xia Feng did not choose to leave, but turned around and walked in again.

After searching for a moment, he spotted Marenleg, who was also about to leave after the meeting.

"Come here, I'll ask you something."

Hearing Xia Feng calling him, Marenleg trotted up to him with his briefcase.

"Xia Feng, what's wrong?"

"I want to see Princess Verin, how can I meet her? Do I need to make a reservation or something? ”

Marenleg was a little unsure of Xia Feng's intentions, and combined with Xia Feng's recent performance, Marenleg even suspected that Xia Feng, a madman, wanted to assassinate him in the palace.

"This ..... What are you doing with Princess Verin? ”

Seeing that Marenleg was a little hesitant, Xia Feng grabbed his arm and asked as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"Tell me how I can meet Princess Verin."

"Uh.... All right. ”

....

According to Marenleg, even nobles could not meet royalty casually.

If a nobleman with a fief wants to report something to the royal family, he needs to write a letter detailing the reasons and signing his fingerprint.

Depending on the importance of the content of the letter, the royal family would take the initiative to summon the nobles.

As for the other way, it is limited to the level 1 nobles.

That is, nobles who want to enter the royal palace need to apply to the knights of the Royal Order, and if the royal family agrees, the Royal Knights will arrange an audience time.

To put it bluntly, it is very troublesome, which is why the major nobles are so respectful and excited to see the royal family members in ordinary times, because it is too difficult to meet each other.

....

Xia Feng is not a level 1 nobleman, he is just an inconspicuous level 3 nobleman, and he is not qualified to take the initiative to meet the royal family, so he can only write a letter if he wants to communicate with Wei Lin.

But what he wanted to ask couldn't be expressed in letters, not by phone, and he had to confirm something with Verin in person.

And the confirmed result may be related to his next choice.

...

There was no way, after saying goodbye to Marenleg, Xia Feng could only find Chief Yarlin and ask him to try his best to arrange an interview with Verin.

Arrin didn't reply to him immediately, judging from his demeanor, Arrin had been very tired lately, and his already old face looked like he was ten years older.

Yarlin said that he would try his best to arrange it and let Xia Feng wait for his news.

...

Back in the office of the Special Operations Division, Xia Feng sat quietly behind his desk.

Recalling the conversation he had with Verin, Xia Feng fell into deep thought.

Verin once asked him, "What do you think about the relationship between the infected and this country?" ”

The answer to this question does not matter at all, or there is no right answer at all, whether it is a mutually beneficial relationship or a gift or a receiving, the rule of the Aslans will not be shaken.

But in retrospect, Xia Feng noticed something he hadn't noticed at the time.

What kind of emotions did Verin have when she asked this question?

That's right, she's worried, not about the revolt of the intested, riots, or the so-called uprising, overthrowing the monarchy or anything.

With Victoria's roots, Verin would not worry about this kind of thing at all, and any rebellion would be strangled in the cradle by the four major military regions.

....

However, Xia Feng does not doubt his instincts.

At that time, Verin was really afraid, and because she was afraid, she found herself and turned herself into a nobleman and a bridge of communication with the infected.

So now, why did this newly built "bridge" collapse before it was even functional?

....

Xia Feng didn't know what Verin was afraid of.

Perhaps, it was the speed of his growth that did not eliminate the fear in Verin's heart.

Or perhaps, in Verin's mind, Hela from the deep sea is better suited to alleviate this fear than he is.
