Chapter 798 The Authenticity of the Past

Lebius looked down at the documents. As more and more information poured into his mind, his eyes became more serious, his chest became dazed, and a strange sense of dryness rushed through his veins.

"Ha...that's terrible." Lebius murmured.

"what happened?"

At the same time as the voice sounded, the visitor pushed open the door, and Lebius raised his head. He looked at the other party and said, "I'm still not used to your appearance."

Jeffrey raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "I'm not used to your wheelchair either."

The two were silent for a while, then laughed silently together.

The Decaying Pandemic incident caused serious damage to both of them. Lebius was paralyzed and could only sit in a wheelchair and move with the power of control. Jeffrey could be better than him, but it was only better. Just a little bit.

Because of trying to stagnate the power of the Glorious One, the overloaded alchemy matrix directly caused Jeffrey's eyes to become bloodshot and he fell into temporary blindness.

Today's Jeffrey's hair has grown a lot more gray, and his face has more wrinkles. The whole person seems to be a few years older, but his biggest change is to wear thicker glasses. Vision is affected.

In the end, Jeffrey still failed to retire, but like Lebius, he also bid farewell to the front-line battle. Relying on his previous experience in the logistics department, he shared the work pressure for Lebius.

"In addition to the rise of the disobedient king's court, the disasters and evils of this world in the abandoned land are the most important thing right now. Once the light is extinguished, the balance of the seal will be completely broken, and this monster will escape from the cage. At that time... The city is about to suffer yet another destruction."

again?
When he noticed this word, Lebius himself couldn't help but smiled wryly. Oath City Opus is really full of disasters. It is like a whirlpool, attracting demons and ghosts.

"Relax, Levius," Jeffrey comforted, "At least we don't have to be on the front line anymore. It's such a comfortable life."

In name, Bologo served as the team leader, but many orders were still issued through Lebius. Now Bologo is more like a super gold medalist. As long as the two of them lie lazily in the office, they will Can solve most of the work, not comfortable.

The faint light of the ether lit up, and the illusory ether phantom appeared behind Lebius, and the wheelchair moved by itself, pushing Lebius out from behind the desk.

"Where are you going?" Jeffrey asked.

"Go to see the minister, there is a report, and I will report to him personally."

While Lebius was speaking, the two biting wolves stood up from the corner, followed closely behind Lebius, and opened the door for him under the control of Lebius.

It is said that he is paralyzed, but under the power of the ether, Lebius' actions are much more convenient than before. Bailey even suggested whether to install some exoskeletons and mechanical arms on Lebius, but Lebius Bius hates attaching superfluous things to the body, he prefers to directly manipulate the dominator.

As Lebius advanced, a door suddenly appeared on the wall of the reclamation room, and then the door opened, revealing a dark space.

summoning room.

Except for the decision-making room, it is the most secret space that is not subject to Belphegor's prying eyes. In a certain sense, this place is also Nethaniel's office.

Even Nethaniel needs a space of his own to vent those accumulated emotions.

No one is a true iron man, and everyone is essentially a fragile flesh and blood.

After a short period of darkness, the blurred light brightened, and Lebius saw the long-awaited Nethaniel.

Everyone has changed since the events of the Decaying Plague, and so has Nethaniel.

The lion-like Nethaniel, who always had a confident smile on his face, has disappeared, and now the lion that appears in front of Lebius seems to be very old and full of depression , the smell of alcohol lingered around Nethaniel, and his bloodshot eyes were full of doubt and puzzlement.

Nethaniel is no longer haunted by ghosts, and his previous friendly and calm attitude has also disappeared. Most of the time now, Nethaniel stays alone in the summoning room, with a gloomy face, as if he is plotting wearing something.

As a personal experiencer of the secret war, Lebius can understand Nethaniel's mood to a certain extent, but he doesn't know anything about the deeper level and the information related to everyone.

Nethaniel raised his head, he noticed Lebius who arrived, his expression didn't change at all.

Long before everything started, Nethaniel seemed to have compromised, agreed to everyone's orders, and arrived at the battlefield with Xilin's body. In fact, at that moment, Nethaniel had already vaguely guessed what would happen. But when Xilin really came back to life and stood alive in front of his eyes again, a suffocating feeling still penetrated his heart involuntarily.

Even though he knew that the Secret War was a hoax, Nethaniel still couldn't help feeling a deep-seated suspicion. From this point of view, what did he do?

Nethaniel often laughed at himself and thought that even if he became the Glorious One, he was just a sad pawn.

"Minister, I have what you want."

Lebius approached Nethaniel and handed over a document.

Nethaniel took the document and took a look at Lebius, "Don't you want to ask something?"

"What do you mean?"

"This secret operation... This is not an order from the decision-making room, but my personal request," Nethaniel said. "Obviously, this is against the regulations, and you are a person who follows the rules."

Lebius' expression didn't change at all, "I just have the same curiosity as you, Minister."

Nethaniel's wandering eyes froze for a moment, and Lebius continued, "Actually, if you think about the process of the Plague of Decay, we are fully capable of preventing the resurrection of Xilin, for example, killing his corpse from the very beginning. Put it in the reclamation room instead of taking it to such a dangerous place.

With my trust in the decision-making room, I also believe that the decision-making room will not make such a stupid decision... unless this is exactly the effect the decision-making room wants. "

Lebius continued, "Based on your experience, you will inevitably be dissatisfied with this. Although you can't say that you betrayed the decision-making room, you must be full of doubts, and I am the same as you, minister."

Looking down at the document in Nethaniel's hand, "You should know more secrets than I do. For example, I don't know why this curiosity is directed at Bolog, but it doesn't have much impact. I'm actually curious about the origin of Burlogo."

"Should I say that your reaction was within my expectations?" Nethaniel whispered.

Lebius just smiled.

Opening the file, flipping through it briefly, and as he read, Lebius said, "I was talking to Burlogo about his childhood, and he said he was from a place called Redwood Town. "

"Bologo's narration is very vivid and his emotions are real. It doesn't look like a lie, but I have searched a lot of information, but I have never found such a place. I once suspected that he was lying to me, but there is no need for him to make up such a Lie to me, the more you tell, the more loopholes. With Burlogo's character, he can refuse to discuss with me."

"Verifying the authenticity of Burlogo's past is as simple as finding another person from Redwood Town," Nethaniel said.

"But it's not easy. According to our calculations, almost 80 years have passed since Burlogo was born. Sequoia Town has completely disappeared on the map. Most of the people who used to live there have also passed away. .”

Lebius took a deep breath, "Fortunately, I did it. After all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, we searched for a needle in a haystack and finally found a man from Sequoia Town. According to the comparison of the data, he even joined the army with Burlogo."

Nethaniel nodded, he had already read the information about that person and everything related to him in the report.

"Where is he now?"

"It's within the Oath City Opals."
