Whether it was the girl sitting beside the hospital bed or the girl lying on the hospital bed, apart from the almost identical faces, there was this synchronic silence that was almost unbearable.
Theresa sighed secretly.
I originally thought I could get some information from Xia Yulan, who woke up from a serious injury, but I didn't expect that Xia Yulan, who woke up, talked to Xia Yufang, who had been standing by the bed, for a few words, then closed her eyes and stopped talking to her.
react to external movements.
Teresa also watched the exchange between the twins.
However, Teresa was completely confused by those few words between the twins.
"Is it a secret message between them?"
After thinking about it carefully, Teresa felt more and more that this was possible.
But before Theresa could find a suitable way to break through, Xia Yufang, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, suddenly spoke.
"Where is the pilot of the white AS?"
"knight?"
Teresa answered subconsciously.
"What do you want from the knight?"
In fact, Theresa was most afraid of Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan, the twins being silent. Because this would inevitably make Theresa unable to obtain the information she wanted.
Now that Xia Yufang is able to ask, this has become Theresa's only breakthrough point.
"Knight? Then, we must see him in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, we refuse to respond to any inquiry."
A bright light flashed in Xia Yufang's eyes, seeming to react to the codename Knight.
"That means that as soon as you meet the knight, you will tell everything you know?"
Teresa asked back.
"You can think so."
Since then, the twins Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan fell into silence again.
Although the atmosphere has returned to the oppressive silence before, for Theresa, there has been progress.
Without hesitation or trying to communicate with Xia Yufang again, Theresa turned and left the ward to join Richard who was guarding outside.
"Richard. Is our connection with Avalon still ongoing?"
Theresa pondered for a moment and looked at Richard.
"Yes, Captain. We have always maintained contact with Avalon."
Richard responded and said solemnly.
"Well. How are the conditions of Melissa, Wiba, and Sosuke Sagara?"
Teresa remembered the three people who were sent to Avalon not long ago to learn how to use the lambda drive system, and couldn't help but ask.
"According to the report 12 hours ago, Cruz Weiba has taken the lead in learning how to use the lambda drive system, but there is still a long way to go before it can be used freely in actual combat. In addition, Melissa Mao and Sosuke Sagara are also conducting the next step of guidance.
, I believe that soon I will be able to use the lambda drive system as skillfully as Cruz Weiba."
Richard's report made Theresa nod involuntarily.
Although Lei Mingkai has left the Son of Danu and taken away Qiannu's airborne AI-al, judging from the current situation, the combat power vacuum caused by the temporary shelving of Qiannu's Son of Danu should be
This will soon be made up for by the Melissa trio who have learned how to freely use the lambda drive system for combat.
All in all, this transaction is not a loss.
"Richard. Send a request to Avalon. I will request a goodwill visit to Avalon in the name of the captain of the Sons of Dannu and the frontline commander of Mithril."
"Captain. This"
Theresa's sudden decision made Richard stunned for a moment.
"No? Richard."
"No! Captain. It's just that I think it might be a little early."
"Morning?" Theresa tilted her head slightly, and immediately understood what Richard meant.
"Richard, are you saying that we should have mentioned the request for a friendly visit after this operation? Well, that may have been the case. But now the situation has changed. The twin sisters have made a request to see the knight.
, Otherwise, we will not be able to obtain even a shred of information related to amalgam from their mouths."
Theresa's words silenced Richard, but he soon felt relieved.
After all, this is not a dangerous request.
The reason why Richard raised the question was because this request was indeed a bit presumptuous under the current circumstances.
"I understand. Let's make arrangements now. In addition, Captain, I hope to arrange for a few more people to accompany you."
For safety reasons, Richard couldn't help but suggest adding more guards.
"This is natural."
Theresa nodded and smiled slightly.
"Although the twins have shown a certain degree of obedience, in fact, we cannot rest assured about them. Everything may only be revealed after arriving in Avalon."
Theresa and the others were not the only ones who wanted to see the outcome. As the party being requested, Lei Mingkai was also a little confused.
If it weren't for Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan, who took the initiative to ask to see Lei Mingkai before revealing all the information about amalgam, Lei Mingkai would probably not be able to remember the pair he had forgotten for a while.
The twins on the son of Dannu.
"Xia Yufang, Xia Yulan. Are these the killer twins you mentioned?"
After responding to Teresa's request to board the ship, Euphemia looked at the resume about the Geminis in her hand.
"Um. Yes."
Lei Mingkai nodded.
Since the twins wanted to see him, they naturally could not avoid Euphemia, the Queen of the Empire, so Lei Mingkai handed over all the origin information of the twins to Euphemia in an upright manner.
"Judging from their resumes, they are similar to Mira, but they are much more distressing than Mira."
Euphemia's eyes fell on the twins' similarly tall faces.
Just looking at the two almost identical beautiful faces, Euphemia really couldn't imagine that the twins were cruel killers who were carefully trained.
"Your Majesty, this is the cruelty of war."
Fianna, who was standing behind Euphemia, suddenly spoke.
Perhaps it was the similarity in life experience, or perhaps it was the resonance caused by the similar experience of being trained as a killing weapon, Fianna, who had always been reticent, couldn't help but express her thoughts.
"Fiana. I remember that your original experience was similar to theirs."
Euphemia turned back to look at the guard captain who was protecting her.
"Yes, your majesty. Since my birth, I have been called the prime body, and I have been thrown into the battlefield to fight under the command of the military."
Fianna's voice was very plain.
For her who was resurrected from the dead, the days of being dominated by others and fighting everywhere have become far away.
"Yeah?"
Euphemia pondered for a moment, then looked at Remingkai.
"Kai. I wonder if we can win these twins over to our side?"
Euphemia's words made Lei Mingkai slightly stunned.
To be honest, Lei Mingkai did not think of the idea of incorporating the Twins into his own camp at first. It was fate that led him to where he is today.
Otherwise, Xia Yufang might have died by the crossbow sword as early as the battle at the dock.
"Your Majesty, I think there may be some difficulties."
Lei Mingkai shook his head and expressed his thoughts.
"From a combat perspective, Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan are nothing more than soldiers and pilots with strong combat capabilities. But from a human perspective, it may be very difficult for us to subdue them."
"A crime?"
Without Lei Mingkai's explicit explanation, Euphemia already knew that what stood in the way of the idea of conquering the twins would be the rules of operation of this world.
"Maybe it is, maybe it's not."
Lei Mingkai doesn't care too much about this.
After all, where are the mercenaries with clean hands and feet under Mithril?
Even if the protagonist Sosuke Sagara is a young soldier who was born in the chaotic Middle East. In this case, as long as Mithril is not pursued, the twins' problems can be big or small.
The only thing that makes Lei Mingkai feel embarrassed is the influence of Kowloon on Gemini.
Whether in memory or now, after Jiulong's death, Gemini's actions are still affected by Jiulong. Even if it is a task that they know is impossible, Gemini will complete Jiulong's orders without hesitation.
This is an emotion that is so complex that it is difficult to resolve it from the source.
"Is it that man?"
Seeing the troubled look on Lei Mingkai's face, Euphemia, with her keen intuition, immediately guessed the key point.
"Well, yes. Regardless of whether that man is still alive or not, he will definitely be an obstacle to realizing His Majesty's idea."
"Yeah?"
Euphemia suddenly smiled and put down the document in her hand casually.
"Forget it, Kai. In that case, let's meet on foot. If that doesn't work, then let's deal with it according to the rules here!"
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Eight hours later, under the guidance of Avalon, the helicopter carrying Teresa, Kalinin and the twins, who were guarded by a team of soldiers, carefully landed on the deck of Avalon.
"Welcome to Avalon! We meet again. The lovely captain of the Sons of Danu."
Theresa was welcomed by a welcoming team led by Lloyd and Sehir.
"Sir Lloyd, Miss Cecil. Nice to see you again! I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you both today."
Teresa stepped off the helicopter and walked not far away from Lloyd and Cecil, bowing slightly in salute.
"No, no, no! How can you say that! It is a great thing for us to have such a lovely captain visiting our Avalon. Okay! Okay! Don't stand here.
Already. The Lord Knight has arranged everything."
After Lloyd casually completed a simple welcome ceremony, he anxiously extended an invitation to Teresa and Kalinin.
"Miss Cecil, where are Melissa Mao and the others?"
Kalinin, who was following behind, found an opportunity and asked Sehir beside him.
"Miss Melissa? They are waiting for you inside!"
Cecil smiled mysteriously and only gave a vague answer.
For some reason, Kalinin suddenly felt that this visit was a bit rushed.
In addition to looking around at the unknown floating warship that had been cruising over the sea area, the soldiers following behind guarded Xia Yulan who was pushing Xia Yulan in a wheelchair.
Xia Yufang followed the crowd and moved forward.
But then, when the door blocking everyone slowly opened, a ten-meter-tall steel giant stood facing each other, covered in silver armor and wearing a red cloak. He pulled out a long sword from his waist and
It slashed into the air.
"!"
"!"
The long sword pierced the air, and the buzzing sound of gold and iron hitting each other was endless.
At the same time, the light refracted from the sword blade was so sharp at this moment, so sharp that it was impossible to look directly at it, making people subconsciously feel a sense of fear.
Teresa, who narrowed her eyes slightly, could vaguely see some figures standing at the end of the welcoming queue composed of steel giants standing opposite each other in the light reflected by the sword blades.
Among them, Teresa vaguely recognized the figures of Melissa, Cruz, and Sosuke Sagara.
"Is it a show of force?"
Teresa looked up at the steel giants standing on both sides, and then looked at the corridor that extended from beneath her feet and was paved with steel giants and swords clashing with each other.
"Colonel."
After regaining consciousness, Kalinin glanced at Lloyd, who still had a smile on his face, and gently reminded Theresa.
"It's okay. Kalinin. This is a grand welcome ceremony, right? Lord Lloyd."
Theresa showed Kalinin a reassuring smile, then turned to look at Lloyd.
"Yes. Captain Theresa. This is a welcome ceremony prepared to welcome distinguished guests. It is also one of the most solemn welcome ceremonies in our empire's etiquette."
With a kind smile on his lips, Lloyd slowly explained to Teresa.
"Really? Then, this welcome ceremony is really unforgettable!"
Teresa chuckled and stepped onto the red carpet, fearlessly walking towards the end of the red carpet amidst the sword light scattered from above her head.
Under the sword light,
Teresa's petite and frail body seemed to be blooming with a fearless and tenacious brilliance, which actually caused a faint hint of avoidance in the pouring sword light.
"Colonel."
Kalinin sighed secretly, then nodded towards Lloyd and Cecil, and waved.
"Follow up."
So, under the leadership of Teresa, Kalinin and his party also stepped onto the red carpet laid out under the sword.
"He's a very nice person! Kai, do you think so?"
At the end of the red carpet, Euphemia, who had changed into a royal robe, looked at the petite figure walking on the red carpet without fear under the sword, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Yes! Your Majesty. This is the captain of the Sons of Danu, Teresa Testarossa. A strong and smart girl."
Standing next to Euphemia was Lei Mingkai, who had put on the imperial uniform. And around his waist was a long sword that symbolized the identity of the knight commander of the personal guard.
This time, in addition to responding to Teresa's request for a friendly visit, it was also Euphemia's otherworldly communication in her capacity as the Queen of the Brittanian Empire.
