Chapter 672: The Fool’s Monologue (2)
The orange-haired young man was leaning against the wall. Although he was one of the parties involved, he was not actually there at the time.
Although he felt the presence of the Queen, he had just found a way to climb onto the spaceship at that time. Before he could find where his companions were, he immediately sensed the Queen's location.
By the time he managed to get off the spaceship and arrived, all he saw was the body of his companion.
He heard everything that happened at that time retold by others, and just by listening he could imagine how... difficult it was to accept the situation.
He had never thought that his partner would die, let alone die in this way. It was impossible for anyone to kill his partner... except himself.
Tartaglia, who has been warlike all his life and has only fighting on his mind, now understands what it means to be at a loss.
Fortunately, the method in the desert has not been tried yet, so there may still be a chance to rescue our companions... Let's rush back to Xumi after today. It's time for the gods of Xumi to fulfill their promise and tell them the news of that so-and-so court.
Wait, buddy. After I revive you, you have to upgrade the robot for my sparring partner... Speaking of the sparring partner robot, the one he's using now seems to have broken down.
Although it was much more inexplicable than before, there were times during this period when strange noises would be heard in the middle of the night, which made Toke very excited, thinking that some mysterious event had finally happened.
And when I was fighting, I always felt that the machine's style began to change a little... It must be an illusion, right? After all, the data used was my own, so the fighting style should be no different from mine.
Shaking his head, Tartaglia decided not to think about these things anymore. After all, this was his friend's funeral, and even if he believed that his friend would be fine, he shouldn't think too much about it.
Ah, that [Puppet] girl is finally here... I thought she wasn't going to show up.
……
Sandone sat on a huge puppet and slowly entered the auditorium. The sound of the puppet's steps attracted the attention of most people, and they cast various glances at her.
There is sizing, scrutiny, coldness, and playfulness...
However, Sandone ignored these glances. She was absorbed in the drawings in her hands the entire time and showed no concern or attention to the outside world.
It seemed that even the movement was left to the puppet to judge and find the way on its own, and she herself had no intention of paying the slightest attention to other things.
Everyone looked away upon seeing this, and they generally expressed their understanding of the situation.
This is no wonder. The relationship between the other party and Motar is no secret, and Motar's death was the biggest blow to her.
Until now, she probably couldn't accept the fact that Motar was dead. The blueprint in her hand probably meant she wanted to continue the operation, or she had some other plan.
In fact, this is true. The drawings that Sandone was holding were exactly the ones that Zuo Xi left for her. At the same time, the layers of codes displayed on the terminal next to her were all related to them.
In addition to improving his technique as much as possible, Sandoni also intended to find the connection between the button and the drawings.
Zuo Xi wouldn't go to so much trouble to do useless work. This button must have some function... Sandoni parsed a code from it, but still didn't understand its meaning.
It wasn't that she couldn't understand the code itself, it was just a very common logic valve. But she still had no idea what the switch controlled by this valve did.
She could only guess that the code was related to the anomalies in the machinery in the workshop. Although those anomalies had occurred several days after she pressed the button, this was the only possible connection she could observe.
But what was the meaning of these anomalies? Sandone couldn't even understand it... But it didn't matter, she wouldn't give up.
Wait for me, Zuo Xi.
……
In the dim and cold auditorium, a pair of scarlet eyes with a cross silently observed the reactions of everyone present.
Grief, regret, admiration, persistence, difficulty in facing, disbelief... She saw all kinds of emotions on everyone's faces.
This was normal at a funeral, but if it happened to this group of people, it would be extremely abnormal.
This group of eccentric and indifferent guys should not have any emotions even at their colleague's funeral... Not showing impatience is already giving face to the Queen.
However, everyone had certain feelings for the colleague lying in the ice coffin, and everyone gave their own reactions to the news of Motar's death.
Even all the reactions reflected positive comments about Motar... at least there was no one gloating, and no one seemed indifferent.
Even that [Doctor], the ridicule and disdain he showed were directed at other people, not the one lying in the coffin.
If a person can make all the executives look at him differently and even feel sorry for him, then this person can no longer be described by simple adjectives.
It was simply a miracle.
But it doesn't seem so surprising that such a miracle happened to Motal.
Alechino thought, if it was that guy, anything is possible, right?
At first, Alecino had no special opinion of this colleague.
It is true that the other party was almost promoted to an executive officer by the Queen. But ask yourself, who among the people present was not appreciated and promoted by the Queen?
Maybe there was something special about him, but there wasn't a single executive officer who wasn't special.
They are all a bunch of freaks.
They are all capable freaks.
So at first, Alechino didn't take Motal seriously and only did basic intelligence investigation.
However, after Zhidong underwent a drastic change under the other party's single-handed efforts, she finally took this new colleague seriously.
In just a few years, Motar achieved remarkable success in politics, business, and the military, laying the foundation for himself as an executive.
What is even more surprising is that he has established organic connections with the representatives of the three parties, namely, [Rooster] Pucciniella, [Rich Man] Pantalone, and [Captain] Capitano.
Although Alecino had collected a lot of information and had a rough idea of what happened, she was still surprised by his skills. You know, not everyone can do these things, let alone he did it all by himself.
So Alechino decided to test the other party's background. Her Majesty the Queen did not allow infighting among executive officers, but ordinary probing was still okay.
So Alecino had done some tricks to test Motar's background and to see if he was really just a mortal.
As a result, the other party hid in his shell when he was in doubt, and Alechino had no good solution.
Not only did she fail to investigate too deeply, but it also gave the guy the opportunity to get close to the orphanage. What was frustrating was that the guy's reputation in the Hearth House was unexpectedly good - he even kidnapped Natalia, although he himself was not aware of it at all.
However, this also allowed her to define the other party's personality, which is why she mocked him when he took the initiative to request to go to Mondstadt as an envoy.
That was the beginning of Motar's rise to prominence. No one could have imagined that such a mortal was not only amazing in talent, but also had a formidable strategy.
After he obtained two Hearts of God in succession, everyone realized that he was not only a genius, but also a genius with skills and strategies.
What the Queen values in the other party may not just be those weird machines.
After observing for a period of time, Alechino determined that the other person's character was inherently friendly, so she finally decided to ask for help.
She hoped that the other party could help her solve the problem of the Fontaine prophecy... In fact, all signs showed that the other party did know about this matter and seemed to be willing to help.
It must be said that this made Alechino secretly relieved. Unconsciously, she also agreed with the saying "If Motar says he can do it, he can do it."
One should save one's hometown by oneself, Alechino has always believed in this truth...but it doesn't say that asking for external help is not allowed, right?
If you don't know how to recruit the helpers you already have, that's irresponsible to your hometown. How can there be such a stubborn person in the world who would give up a possible solution just because of a meaningless insistence?
Maybe there are some, and there are many. But Alecino is definitely not one of them.
However, no one expected that she would not be able to wait for the other party's help, but instead received the news of Motar's death first.
Not to mention death, it was even hard for Alechino to imagine that the guy who was so good at planning and so afraid of death would expose himself to danger.
However, that was the fact, and the coffin was right in front of her, so she had no choice but to believe it.
In this case, saving Fontaine would have to be done by oneself...Alechino couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
But even without this incident, Mortal still won her respect.
May you sleep forever under the ice... If possible, I would actually rather you crawl out, resolve the Fontaine issue, and then go back to sleep.
...or whatever.
Rest well, Mortal.
