But what level of veteran is Blood Crystal Crow? She has long seen who relies more on the current relationship between the two, and also understands the principle that "whoever has deeper feelings will suffer." As the saying goes, the party who gives in first will lose the initiative. Since Xiasha-Imaer cares more, she is in an absolute weak position in this relationship.
It's just that a fool like little Annie doesn't know how to take advantage of it. If another woman was pursued so passionately, with all kinds of difficulties and conditions, Xiasha Imaar would not be able to refuse any of them.
From this perspective, maybe the Blood Crystal Crow would occasionally get jealous of women. It would make more sense that they disliked each other.
Without further ado, Hitzfeld had already begun to immerse himself in the information, going through all the contents in detail and quickly.
After reading it, she stopped, her body stiff and her eyes fixed, obviously immersed in her thoughts, and she didn't notice the woman opposite who was looking at her unscrupulously.
Of course, she wouldn't protest even if she noticed.
I have already realized it in my heart, and now I even have a child. So I can no longer resist some things because of shyness. Hitzfeld believes that this should also be my duty.
"how do you feel?"
After waiting for more than ten minutes, until the airship had climbed to an altitude of several thousand meters and the vibration of the cabin became less intense, Xia Yibing finally spoke to wake the girl.
"That's a lot of information," Hitzfeld commented, then asked, "Have you asked Ms. Yussirion about the number '1739'?"
"I asked right away."
"What did she say?"
"She didn't think it was the time year."
"Ah? Isn't it?"
Hitzfeld hadn't shown such a look of surprise for a long time, because in her opinion, 1739 was a year number no matter how you looked at it, which meant that something very noteworthy happened in 1739, and this information would be an important clue.
But the Blood Crystal Crow actually thought that this was not a year number?
"Is she serious?"
"I could tell she was never that serious."
"Did she give an answer?"
Then Xia Yibing recounted the conversation she had had with the Blood Crystal Crow.
“她说如果1739是年份数字的话,那1739年发生的事情就太靠前了。她还说她和艾门-哈温认识的时候是1774年,1739的事发生在1774年还要往前数35年。她说她不认为那个时候的东西能留到今天还产生影响,1739不可能是代表时间。”
"It just doesn't necessarily represent the year." Hitzfeld frowned, "Maybe it's 17 minutes and 39 seconds..."
"We have discussed this as well, and the possibility is relatively low."
Hitzfeld wanted to refute, but then he thought that Xia Yibing's analysis was more reasonable.
Because there were no digital clocks in Namibia during this period.
Sara is already the most advanced land. If Sara doesn’t have it, no other place will have it.
People usually think of watches as round dial + three-hand watches, so they lack sensitivity to "how many seconds". A person may remember what happened at how many hours and minutes, but as long as it is not a digital clock that directly displays the seconds, it is difficult for them to remember the exact number of seconds.
So the possibility is indeed low.
So isn't 1739 really a time data?
If it’s not time…what else could it be?
Meters? Length and width?
After quickly ruling out a series of possibilities, Hitzfeld looked up: "...It can't be the house number, right?"
The speculation about the house number is also quite ridiculous, because the house number is from the first street to the end, and only if a street is long enough can the last digit of its house number exceed 1000.
As far as she knew, she seemed to have only seen house numbers over 1000 in Wayne. In a small city like Manion, would 1739 be a house number?
"Yusilian said that this might be related to the bacterial monsters handed down from ancient times."
"Bacteria monster, do you mean the Mimic monster?"
"Ah... She said that the Mimics are just a new form of human beings that mutated after being infected by that bacteria. There was a native virus before the Mimics - that is what we encountered in Talignan."
An ancient virus buried deep underground?
Hitzfeld remembered it, but when she compared this factor with the case, she felt that this view was questionable.
If it really was a virus, the number of people implicated would not be just 203.
Although she has not been educated about the transmission ability of the virus, think about it, it might be something that gave the Mechanical Sun Goddess a headache when she was a human. When she asked the Blood Crystal Crow about it in class, the other party looked very cautious. There is no doubt about its power.
If the ancient virus really was leaked, she estimated that it wouldn't take long. Just the eight days of waiting would be enough for Xixinna Parish to become a dead zone.
"What's her basis for that?" Hitzfeld asked.
"It's 'Xixinna'." Xia Yibing replied.
"She said before that 'Sisina' is a city that existed during the ancient Serran period. It has a very ancient history, and several invasions by virus monsters have affected Sisina."
"She thinks that there are traces of the disaster buried under the soil of Xixinna? Is this just one-sided speculation?"
After all, Sicinna and Manion are now considered two cities. Although they belong to the same Sicinna diocese, the places where the incident occurred are too far apart.
If this is the reason, even if she reduces the harm of the virus again and again, it is impossible that only Manion would have such a thing happen. Shouldn't Xixin have more?
After thinking about it, Hitzfeld decided to temporarily shift his attention away from "1739" and focus on another word that was mentioned many times - "Yongdor".
Yongdor, this pronunciation does sound like a person's name, but it is not ruled out that this is a place name, or the pronunciation of a word in some ancient language.
After recalling it again, she was sure that not only in Xixinna, there seemed to be no names or places with this pronunciation in any area of Sara.
Then this clue is also broken.
Shaking the stack of documents in her hand, Hitzfeld suddenly realized that she had subconsciously despised Nightingale.
I always feel that these people's investigation is not comprehensive, and we need to rely on this side for further analysis. But the fact is that this report has been listed very thoroughly, and they can't guess what Nightingale can't find out now.
At least it's impossible to guess while sitting here. It seems that if we want to advance the case, we have to wait until we get to the place and make plans.
Yawning, Hitzfeld decided to take a nap.
The existence of the fetus requires her to provide nutritional maintenance. Her mobility is indeed not affected much, but her physical strength and energy are worse than before.
He originally planned to send the woman away and let her go to eat, but Xia Yibing insisted on staying by the bed. Hitzfeld could only let her do what she wanted. He lay on the bed and watched her draw the curtains, then sat in front of her and continued to talk to her.
"Alwin gave me 10 spots, but I only picked 6 in the end."
"Two of them are old acquaintances, Kangana Flick and his assistant Carlo... There is no need to mention these two people."
"The other three are the commanders of the three new armies, Marseille Tibbs, Goodley Harrison, and Bill Josey."
"Tibers is a rough man, we can just call him Marseille. He may not be very smart, but he is very clear about big issues. Considering that the 3000 men are drawn from the Northern Legion, I will let him coordinate the entire force."
"You think he's easy to bully?" Hitzfeld grinned.
It's fine to deceive outsiders with nice words, but she can't hide what this woman is thinking.
But she had no objection.
This is not a question of being kind or not, or magnanimous or not.
In any case, since this army was handed over to Xia Yibing by Erwin himself, if she cannot fully control these 3506 people, the outside world will only think that she is incompetent.
So they couldn't give in on this point - not even a little bit, so the legion commander had to arrange someone who was easy to control, and Xia Yibing did an ideal job in this regard.
"Harrison and Josie are knights of the Ascetic sect." The woman continued to introduce, "They are not much different from the knights of Onsin."
"What about the last one?" Hitzfeld was a little curious.
Flick, Carlo, Marseille.
None of these three people are ascetics.
With Harrison and Josie from the Ascetic School, she could naturally see that Xia Yibing intended to split their lineup in the selection of players. From this perspective, the remaining sixth gold player should also be from the Ascetic School, but why was he placed last?
Is there anything special about it?
Instinctively, she had a hunch that the reason why Xia Yibing only brought 6 people instead of a full 10-person team had a lot to do with this sixth gold.
"His name is Belmaren." Xia Yibing paused, "Angus Belmaren."
"...I seem to have heard of this name."
Hitzfeld was stunned for a moment.
"Wait a minute, is he the most famous 'Tattered One'? Known as the most arduous ascetic knight in history?"
"it's him."
such.
Hitzfeld nuzzled the pillow.
Then she almost knew the reason.
Even among the Golden Knights, even among the Trappists, Angus Belmaren was an oddball.
How to put it... Carl's daily life is already quite hard. He lives in an old house and donated all the money he received. He has lived a poor life and has no savings. But Belmaren's life is ten times more exaggerated than Carl's.
It is more appropriate to describe him as an Indian ascetic. It can be said that if one day we need to select ten people who have the most devout faith in the Goddess from this country, Belmaren will definitely be among them, and his ranking will not be low.
This person is not popular, and has a very bad relationship with other gold members in the Central Diocese (around Wayne). If this person is chosen, many gold members will not be willing to join the team. Although Xia Yibing can use the transfer order to forcibly recruit them, if the people who are brought in are not willing to work wholeheartedly, then she would rather not have the remaining 4 places.
"Choose 6 instead of 10... Marseille thinks he is as good as 5 people?"
"I don't know. He was vague about it, but Belmaren's strength is indeed a mystery. Otherwise, not many people would dare to look down on him."
Then he must be capable.
The rougher a person is, the more he will admire and submit to those who have absolute strength. Marseille has a bad relationship with Harrison and Josie. He recommended Belmullen, which must be because he saw something when he was a student.
But I heard that he never takes a bath...
Thinking of this, Hitzfeld got goosebumps in his bed.
She had never been so grateful that she was a perfumer. She happened to bring some tools with her this time and was already thinking about what kind of perfume to mix to eliminate the other person's odor.
"Oh, right."
Xia Yibing saw that her eyelids were drooping a little, and suddenly said something.
"Besides Mapus, we have some acquaintances on this trip."
"Who is it then?"
"Ashley."
"..."
"..."
After thinking carefully about who "Ashley" was, Hitzfeld sat up and all his sleepiness disappeared.
"……what?"
"Are you surprised?" Xia Yibing was still smiling.
"She's now a silver... I was also surprised when I heard that. The little thing is really hardworking. She has always dreamed of helping you. I only found her on the list after I got it..."
"Bang bang bang!"
Before Hitzfeld had finished digesting it, the dormitory door was slammed loudly from outside.
"Heath—"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Open the door Heath!"
"I came to see you... and brought you some food!"
Chapter 13 Arrival at Sisina (Two in One)
Compared to the environment, the lunch on the airship was very rich. It was rice stewed with sauce and beef, and the beef was very large.
Hitzfeld was shocked by the news that Ashley was also awake, so she sat up and ate a little. Half an hour later, she sternly asked Ashley what was going on and why she was progressing so fast, but she got a strange look in return.
"Does Heath look down on me?" Ashley scratched her head. "In fact, there have been signs of this a long time ago. My grades in the training camp are basically first place everywhere. If I insist on taking the exam, what reason do they have to not let me pass?"
"Forced exam?" Hitzfeld was slightly surprised. "Are you sure you have reached the top level there?"
She really didn't know much about the military, and she didn't even know how to train the Flintstone Knights. But because of the deadly ticket case, she had spent some time to learn about football, and knew that for a professional player, the period from teens to twenties was the golden shaping period.
For example, technical characteristics, balance of left and right feet, training of weak foot, these must be fixed into muscle memory through a lot of training when you are young. Once you get older, it will be very difficult to go back and practice these things, so this period of advancement is very important.
She thinks the Cavaliers' training is similar, and because the job is more dangerous than that of a player, they rely more on honing their bodies during their rising years. There may be some talented people who leave the Cavaliers Academy early, but they have at least spent three or four years in the academy, and most of them have been in the academy since childhood, which is more than ten years.
