Merit Book·Xinghai

The bracelet locks its owner's face, and projects the information content on the light screen in the air, no matter the distance, angle or brightness are just right.Other people, no matter from the side, the front, or the back, even if they are lying on Serinda's shoulders, will never see any punctuation marks on the light screen, which greatly guarantees the privacy of information.

Others only saw a faint blue light in front of her, and even that little bit of blue was not obvious under normal lighting.This agreement, which was originally expected to be reached smoothly, has twists and turns, and has been delayed for these years. Now, when it is only the last one to sign, there is another accident. Although everyone knows that this may be irrelevant private information, it is still hidden in their hearts. A shadow was cast.On both sides of the long table, several people exchanged glances, some frowned slightly, and some shook their heads lightly. Although they were all very subtle movements, compared with the quiet and prudent just now, the various small movements now are very obvious.

On the left, Sean laughed, as if he hadn't seen anything; on the right, his eyelids were half down, as if he had fallen asleep.

The focus of Selinda's eyes only fell on the light screen in front of her, and she didn't notice the eyebrow-eye lawsuit in the audience.A few seconds later, she put away the light screen, as if it was just an irrelevant piece of information, the faint smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said softly, "I'm sorry, I wasted everyone's time."

At that time, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Selinda raised the pen again, paused, but then put it down again. The pen fell on the table and made a "click" tendency, which made many people's heartbeats suddenly stop.

"I'm sorry, I suddenly feel unwell." Selinda stood up and said, "Let's discuss this contract another day." After she finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for the others to react.The few people standing behind the queen also followed quickly.

"But... Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please wait a moment..."

Everyone stood up quickly, and several representatives of the alliance shouted one after another—no matter how unwell they are, how can there be a sign?

However, Selinda walked out without stopping as if she didn't hear it at all.After all, she was the emperor of a country, and no matter how unwilling they were, the representatives did not dare to reach out to pull her. They could only watch helplessly as the skirt embroidered with complicated and exquisite patterns disappeared at the door.

"Oh, what's wrong with this? How could it be like this?" The head representative stomped his feet anxiously. When he saw Tian Chuan standing up slowly and walking past him, he hurried over and said, "Master Right, Mr. Mr. Xiang, please speak for me! Haven’t we reached an agreement on all the opinions? Your Majesty, is this... is this going to go back on your word?”

The representative is not blind, and he can naturally see that whether it is the former princess or the current queen, the doubt in Selinda's eyes has never disappeared.

"Representatives, please be careful!" A Landia general passing by them said coldly, "His Majesty has never said the word repentance, please don't speculate!"

The representative was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, General Leopold, I made a slip of the tongue. I don't know... When will Your Majesty have time? The chairman of the alliance has been looking forward to the conclusion of this contract for a long time. I Wait for the letter to go back and say that it can be signed today..."

However, that General Leopold ignored him, turned his head and walked away. The right Prime Minister Tagawa walked slowly, but was watched by the representative. The most important thing is the contract? I will bring it up again when His Majesty recovers... When will he recover? This old man doesn't know much about medicine..."

The point was distracted by the right minister's few words, and by the time the representative tried hard to bring the topic back, the right minister had already stepped over the threshold and turned into a corridor.The representative continued to follow, but was stopped by two soldiers, and under their indifferent gaze, he had to retreat.

Back in the hall, he found that most of Landia's officials had already left, and the few remaining people were surrounded by the delegation of the alliance, but they didn't say a single word. The same is true for several people.

The authorities were confused, but the bystanders were clear. Standing by the door and watching for a while, the representative suddenly understood, just as they were overwhelmed and flustered by Queen Selinda's sudden change of face, the people in Landia were actually not clear.However, these people in the empire would not say anything superfluous until they did not understand why the empress suddenly changed her mind and reached a unified opinion internally.Not necessarily because of how loyal they are to the new empress, but because if they say anything that will damage the majesty of the empress in front of outsiders, it is tantamount to insulting themselves.

No matter how fierce the internal struggle is, the Landia people have the same attitude towards the outside world at all times. This is their way of survival that has continued to this day, and it is a principle that has been written into the bone marrow of their blood.

Selinda walked faster and faster, and the maids behind even had to trot with their skirts up to follow her.She pursed her lips, and under the cover of makeup, she couldn't see much change in her face, but her eyes could be seen like a pool of deep and cold spring water, and the aura all over her body was overwhelming.The people she met along the way bowed deeply from a distance, and she didn't dare to raise her head until she was far away, and there was a layer of cold sweat on her back.

Lance is directing the staff to arrange the banquet venue for tonight. According to the plan, after the contract is signed, they will hold a special dinner for the Star Alliance representatives.He was staring at a group of maids putting dewy flowers on the table, when he saw Selinda coming with a storm all over her body.

Lance was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the maid behind Selinda, who shook his head lightly. He knew it in his heart, and quickly walked up to him and said, "Your Majesty..."

Before he could say the following words, Selinda just nodded and passed by him like the wind.

Lance froze for a moment, turned around and stared at Selinda's back, the corners of his mouth tightened.

Selinda walked all the way back to her bedroom, paused slightly, then turned and sat down in front of the vanity mirror.After asking for her opinion in a low voice, the two maids gently took off the ornaments on her head and body, untied the gorgeous but cumbersome long skirt, and put on light and comfortable pajamas.

While they were tidying up, Selinda kept looking into her own eyes in the mirror. Looking at her, her face gradually regained her calmness and grace. When the maid asked her if she wanted to invite the doctor, she waved her hand and said softly. Said: "No need, I just lie down and lie down."

The leading maid looked at Serinda's face, lowered her head, led the others to make the bed, and then quietly retreated.

Selinda sat in front of the mirror for a while, then lay down on the bed as usual for a nap, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes.After she lay down, the room slowly darkened, and after ten seconds, it was so dark that only the outlines of objects could be vaguely seen. This was the most comfortable brightness for Selinda when she was sleeping.

However, at this moment, she was lying on the big soft bed with her eyes closed, her body tensed like a bow, her hands clenched tightly in front of her chest, and she looked suddenly, as if she was enduring great pain.

Becoming a queen, Selinda also felt like a "child of destiny". She was also full of ambitions and wanted to lead this huge empire to a stronger and better front. However, that text message poured cold water on her heart. On her head, it was so cold that she only felt extremely cold.Being able to bear it and walk out of that conference room without showing any strangeness, and she has not lost her composure until now, seems to have exhausted her life's endurance.

She has never felt so alone and cold as she is now.

Even if she has the title of "Empress" now, this is not her country - Selinda is now very clearly aware of this.

The content of the text message is very simple: [Yesterday at 22:[-]:[-], Apollo raided the fourth base in Rigg Hills. 】

There was no letterhead, no signature, but Selinda knew who it was from.

She seemed to be able to see that person's expressionless face from the simple and emotionless text. He looked at her, as if he was asking her: "Don't you know that this happened?"

There was no need to ask any more questions, but the disappointment in her eyes made her feel ashamed.

Then came the white mist-like chill that penetrated into every pore of the body from all directions, making all the cells shudder.

She didn't question the authenticity of the information. In this world, the only person she would never doubt was Rong Yuan.

However, if anyone else had said that to her, she would have laughed and taken it as a joke.

Because, the only key that can activate Apollo is always carried by her.

Although Apollo is a sharp weapon to protect the empire, its muzzle has been facing outer space, but it may not be without the possibility of attacking ground buildings.In order to prevent Apollo from being manipulated by others, or encounter similar crises in the future, the empire has three countermeasures:

First, there are thirteen space stations and two artificial satellites in the high-altitude orbit around the imperial capital, and their main function is to monitor and defend against space threats. Apollo in space orbit is also within their monitoring range.If Apollo starts abnormally, the three nearby space stations will destroy it while it is charging;

Second, all the large, medium and small towns in the empire have a layer of defense shields that are invisible to the naked eye, and only low-level protection levels are usually activated.In the event of an accident, the protection level will increase to the highest level within three seconds, which can completely defend against Apollo's four to five ordinary attacks;

Third, the secret key to activate Apollo can only be carried by the emperor of the empire. She has a special secret box, which contains seven or eight similarly powerful weapons, of which Apollo is the weakest. A powerful attack can destroy a planet in an instant.Every time the secret key is used, it means a lot of irreparable sacrifices.Even if Selinda is the queen of the empire, it will take a very complicated procedure to start Apollo.

But now, almost a whole day has passed since Apollo was activated, but she hasn't heard any news before or after the event.There are so many people around her - left and right, imperial generals, administrators, chief inspectors, butlers, maids, guards... No one told her that Apollo's beam of light fell from the sky!

Although these people may have been deceived like her, but among them, there must be insiders and behind-the-scenes hands, and their relationship with the royal family must not be alienated.In other words... it must be someone close to her.

Selinda walked all the way back, only to feel that everyone she saw on the road was wearing a false mask, and under the mask was an ugly, sneering ghost face.

She didn't know who else she could trust.

In particular, to activate Apollo, there must be an absolutely unavoidable hurdle—everyone in the empire trusts it, and regards it as natural as breathing, the brain-brain bluegrass.

..........................................................................................

Rong Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know about Serinda's situation at this time. In fact, he no longer had the energy to think about anyone.

The hemostatic pack was thrown aside, because of the loss of suppression, the blood from the wound had already stained a large area of ​​clothes on his chest, but Rong Yuan didn't take this into consideration at all, his attention was all on the white cocoon in his hand.

The white cocoon rises and falls like breathing, and the color gradually becomes more transparent. The outline of the small figure inside is becoming clearer and clearer...
