【Ji Lai】【Romy】Far Star

After reading the file and seeing the feeling of suffocation, Gilfies let himself go.

Then he notified the airport and set off to visit his poor Barbarossa.

To be honest, he wasn't very worried about it, after all, with Reinhardt taking care of it, it wasn't likely to live badly.But just how big is the gap between it and the current mainstream ships... still needs to be confirmed.

When he arrived, one of the persons in charge of the port area, a colonel in his 40s, came to receive him—a crisp, chivalrous man with a humorous and straightforward manner, without any dignity in his words and deeds. tendency.He first briefly introduced the current situation in the port area to Gilfies, and then drove the jeep to take Gilfies to the parking lot, without any delay or nonsense in the whole process.

About 15 minutes later, Gilfies was able to see the plane parked on the huge inclined slope in the distance, one-third of which was sunk inside the slope, and two-thirds lifted off the slope, the red Barbarossa like fire.

It occupies seat 2.On the side of the No. 1 seat, the emperor's white Brenhill is sitting upright.

To be honest, Gilfies was a little surprised—or he wasn't surprised at all.He had envisioned such a situation, but he did not expect that he would see such a situation come true.

The colonel interpreted his eyes as the excitement and emotion after reuniting after a long absence.

So he simply further explained Barbarossa's current situation to him, and turned the car around, no longer driving towards the boarding hub behind the hangar, but took Gilfies closer to see Barbarossa's appearance: "By last year As of November, it has re-done the armor arrangement 11 times, with some adjustments and new additions. Now the anti-blast capability of its side and top armor may have surpassed His Majesty's flagship. All engines have been replaced with new ones, and 3 centers Zone fusion furnaces, 3 auxiliary antimatter furnaces, more reasonable additions to the jet ports. All 4 main cannons have also been replaced, and the coverage of other forts is higher, but the crew demand rate has dropped by 18%. Last July, the front axle and the overall frame After the refurbishment, the autonomous system is also installed - you can try it to give you the taste of the brakes if you get a chance."

"Ah..." Gilfies pondered for a while, "To be honest, I don't really want to try."

This sentence made the two of them laugh together.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, they got closer and closer to Barbarossa, so close that Gilfies could already see its general details:

It is still the same, but it is indeed a little different. Even if it is only a few glances, Gilfies can find many turrets and jets that he has never seen before.

At the rear of the middle section of the ship, the double-headed eagle of the Gordonbaum family has been erased and replaced with Reinhardt's lion emblem.

Because a considerable scale of non-Newtonian fluid armor is also installed, its original hard arcs have become rounded, and even give people a feeling of rubber with a slight elasticity, but the reflective coating of the shell is still in the sun. shining brightly.

Its majestic, sword-tipped prow looms in the air and looks almost intimidating - Barbarossa originally had some impact capability, but now it has new engines and new armor, should it be necessary Desperately, there should be no ships other than aircraft carriers that can carry it.

But Gilfies immediately realized that he was thinking wrong-the emperor didn't give himself these things to let him face the tough, if he really had the courage to do this once, he might be able to drive him crazy.

That's not what everyone wants to see.

And at this moment, he was thinking of the emperor, but at the next second, Gilfies felt that he had really seen him—there was another group of people getting off the bus at a distance from them, and Gilffies looked over At first glance, he spotted a figure with blonde hair in a gray coat.

After being stunned for a while, he was sure it was really him.

So Gilfies immediately reminded the colonel to go and say hello.It took the colonel a while to understand what Gilfies had said.He was undoubtedly a steady and experienced soldier, but it was surreal to suddenly hear himself in front of the emperor at close range.

However, he still successfully followed what Gilfies said.

The colonel stopped the car 50 meters away.Then the two got out of the car, and it was Qisri's silent gaze that greeted Gilfies.And the emperor was talking to someone in the car, so he didn't care for a moment to determine who was coming - Qisri walked over to remind him, so he turned around immediately, and the people in the car got out of the car.

For a moment, Jillfies didn't recognize who she was.

It wasn't until he finished saluting to the emperor that the incomparably beautiful woman walked over with a smile and handed him her hand very intimately and naturally that he finally recognized her.

Anne Roger.

Today she was wearing a Tudor-style dark green velvet dress with tan fur trim around the edges, black and gold embroidery patterns all over her upper body, and a matching little hairdo on her head. Hoop headdress.

To make her more Anglo-Saxon, presumably, her groomer straightened her hair, changing it to the same tan as the fur trim on her dress.They'd even tampered with her eyes—now instead of blue, they were a rich, emerald-like green that seemed to take people away.

The thick little bell-shaped skirt and the double-layered sleeves with slits on the outer layer set off her extremely thin waist.

In the absence of jewelry, the texture of her own skin became more prominent, and it looked like a pink white pearl.

She and her brother look so much alike, and both are so beautiful, when the two of them stand together, their power can destroy everything.

Although he didn't turn his head to look, Gilfies obviously felt the colonel beside him stunned.So he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately took her hand, leaned over and touched the back of her hand symbolically with his forehead.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness. I did not expect to meet you here."

While he said and acted like this, Anne Roger also gracefully squatted and curtseyed with his movements.

"Good afternoon, Chigurh. It's been a beautiful day. Reinhardt took the time to show me your love - I've been talking about it with him for weeks."

She explained in a chatty tone.

After saying these words, she let go of his hand, but at the same time walked around him for two steps and stood by his side.

Her expression said she was waiting for his arm.

In terms of etiquette, it was actually not Gilphiaes' turn to carry the emperor's noble sister on his shoulders in this situation.The emperor himself is present, and it is most appropriate for him to do this matter.

And if he is carrying Anne Roger, the chain consequence is that Reinhardt must follow them—left or right, the specific operation is up to the emperor to decide—so that he has no retreat at all. Or maybe stand a little further away.

Jillfies could understand what Anne Roger was thinking.

You know this time it's not about two little boys fighting or who punched who.One of them nearly died, and years of estrangement and bitterness continued between the two.Although they are now trying to accept each other again, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems again, and if they do, the consequences will still be devastating.

So she will be anxious about it, and will try her best to find a way to make them reconcile as soon as possible.Fortunately, however, the relationship between them is not so cramped anymore.

After obediently taking Anne Roger's soft little hand and placing it on her elbow, Gilfies graciously followed her to the emperor.

The emperor and his party originally only planned to visit Brenhill.But since he met Gilfies, the emperor temporarily changed his plan - he decided to go to see Barbarossa first, and then go to Brenhill.

Because the internal main frame has been refurbished, Gilfies, who has not boarded the ship for 3 years, has no idea how to go.The officials who received them had been asked by the emperor to stop before the hanging ladder.

So Xiutley took out the ship structure diagram he brought, but then the emperor proved that there was no need for so much trouble-he quickly pointed out the right direction, and led all the entourage along the way with some familiarity. Proceed on the correct route and reach the bridge within 5 minutes, without being hindered by any security or inspection checkpoints.

There was no one in the command hall.

The emperor himself found the main source of lighting, turned it on, and showed Anne Rodger what it looked like in full light with a sense of devotion.

"I hope you like it," he said to his sister.

Then he took her hand and walked to the conductor's seat to ask her to sit down, and at the same time he turned on the main control system on the conductor's table—Gilfies' thinking was still somewhat stuck in Gordon Bam Therefore, when he saw the huge three-dimensional lion emblem with a silver outline that appeared in the air, he still couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Soon, the lion emblem disappeared, replaced by the current map of the star field in the empire state.

Anne Roger raised her hand curiously to touch them, and the small starry sky logo turned in the direction of her force, and then slowly rolled back to the correct position. The dynamics looked very fun.

"It's so interesting." Anne Roger laughed.You could tell she really thought it was interesting.

Then she began to ask some basic knowledge about ships and aviation, and the emperor led Xiutley and Qisri to answer her in cooperation.

At the beginning, all the men except Reinhardt were just thinking of making the noble lady happy.

They didn't know her well, and their usual contact with her was just to say hello to her when she came to Reinhardt's office, so they took it for granted that she was a beautiful, gentle, virtuous and lovely, well-behaved woman with no big temper or big temper. characteristic lady.

So when they discovered that she quickly learned how to operate Barbarossa's main computer interface with eyes, and could understand the algorithm of star map coordinates, and immediately find the approximate position after they reported the number, they suddenly realized that they used to It was so wrong.

In this way, after about 5 minutes, Xiuteri and Qisli had chatted with the Grand Duchess very smoothly.For a not too short period of time, loyal subordinates even forgot about their emperor.

As her own younger brother, Reinhardt could of course roughly guess what she was thinking.

But it has to be said that even with painstaking efforts, such a deliberate - in his view very deliberate - approach still makes him feel very, very uncomfortable and indescribably embarrassed.If he knew what he should do in the first place, after being hinted like this, he no longer knows.

And even if he understood that Gilfies' intentions were generally positive, as the culprit who caused the other party to experience life and death struggles, he still felt unspeakably guilty.So in fact, for a while, the emperor just stood there meaninglessly.

But some people understand that now is the time to lean in a little bit.

"Aren't you going to stop them, Your Majesty?" Jillfies turned his head and said to Reinhardt like this without any sense of abruptness, being extremely natural and friendly, and relaxed as if he was on vacation, "Otherwise, it will be a while later." Maybe they're going to start tutoring His Royal Highness with kindergarten lessons."

"...Actually, I don't mind getting her a student status at a non-commissioned officer academy."

Gilfies raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"But the situation is very calm now," the emperor showed a serious expression. "Even if my sister graduates, it will be difficult to find a place to accumulate practical experience. I can only say that it is as good as it can be cultivated."

Only then did Gilfies confirm that the emperor was not joking.

However, after being stunned for a while, he found that this was actually quite feasible—he was familiar with Anne Roger very well, and he could roughly estimate her abilities.She and Reinhardt are two branched versions of the same life module, and their extremely similar appearance shows that they have a high degree of genetic similarity.If someone thinks that different genders can make a huge gap between these two versions...Gilfies will undoubtedly think that this is a primitive who can't even read the Arabic numerals 1 to 10.

This thought made him nod involuntarily: "It is indeed possible..."

And the emperor just looked at him nodding, and his mind became strangely confused-he suddenly realized that he hadn't looked at him carefully and closely like this for a long time.

This made him feel an impulse.He didn't know what the impulse was.But soon, he found that he seemed to be unable to help raising his hand, but he knew that he definitely couldn't really do anything.

So the emperor turned away very suddenly.

"Your Majesty?" Gilfies didn't keep up with his emotions this time.

"It's nothing." Reinhardt didn't look back, "It's too dark here, turn on the zenith screen."

Then he didn't wait for the other party to answer, so he walked down the command area and went to the operation area below to search.

Soon he found it.

After pressing the button, the vaulted dome covering the entire command hall lights up—this thing is actually a spherical screen that can directly display the scene outside the cabin.Under normal circumstances, what the passengers will see should of course be the starry sky and the universe, but now it is parked in the airport, so what is displayed has become the outside field, the blue sky and white clouds, and the not too far away on the left. of Brun Hill.

When seeing it, Reinhardt suddenly felt calmed down.

So when Jillfies followed him with some doubts and wanted to ask what happened to him, his state had returned to normal.

"Look." He raised his finger and pointed at it, as if he couldn't move his eyes away.

Gilfies also looked back at it.Brenhill also meant a lot to him, and so much of the past was just left there.

"His Majesty……"

"When I first got it, it was one of the very few and most advanced warships in the entire empire. But now... even if it has been renovated and improved, it can only be regarded as relatively good. Someone asked me to Don't replace it, but I don't want to."

Gilfies didn't answer the call.He just frowned slightly and looked at the emperor in front of him.

Soon the emperor also realized that the atmosphere was a bit too dignified.He took a deep breath and asked himself to adjust his emotions to a relaxed and indifferent state as much as possible.

"By the way, are you satisfied with the current modification?" He asked Gilfies like this, and at the same time reached out and patted the seat beside him, as if he was patting Barbarossa.

This question made Gilfies smile: "I can't be more satisfied, Your Majesty. Everything is unbelievable."

"Okay. Do you still have the desire to fly now?"

"I never disliked fighting, Your Majesty. And my desire to fly depends on whether you want me to fly."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded: "Yes. I don't intend to hide anything from you - the next war may not be very far away. You and I have always cooperated very well, and I hope this time it will still be the case."

"Of course, Your Majesty."

"...Do you think I did it inappropriately?"

"About what, Your Majesty?"

"Probably... everything. I'm not sure."

"Then do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

This sentence made the emperor hesitate a little.But soon he made a decision: "Then lie. I have never heard you tell a lie, so I hope I can listen to it this time."

"Then I want to say, what you have done is really terrible. From the inside to the outside, nothing has been done properly. Everything is wrong. As long as anyone with normal judgment..."

Then he was stabbed in the chest by the emperor.

The emperor didn't use any force, but Gilfies still made a uncomfortable look, and asked: "It's obviously your choice? Why do you want to hurt me?"

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I really can't accept your lying."

The gloomy atmosphere finally disappeared.

Next, they stood between the contiguous desktops and the rows of seats in the operating area, and had a good chat alone for a while.The content is nothing more than about the current daily work, views and speculations about the future, or some trivial things in the past.

Gilfies feels that today's state is really great.

He didn't want the emperor to always be in that weak and cramped state, tangled in pain, pretending to be nonchalant on the surface but pale and disappointed inside.He thinks it's really unnecessary, after all, if Reinhardt is always wearing a shell that represents isolation and alienation, then he can't get close to him anymore.

Only now is it just right.Gilfies thought.

So much so that he almost got carried away, until—

"Remember?" the emperor said with a smile, "I said before that I wanted you to be the captain of Brunhill..."

The emperor's expression showed that he was deeply impressed by this incident. Perhaps this was one of the few jokes in his life that was worth remembering for a long time.

But Gilfies was stunned: he couldn't find this incident in his mind, and there was a complete blank in the place where this past incident might have been stored, and there was no vagueness, nothing or possibility, as if It's as if this thing was carried away with the tray.

And what was worse was that he knew why he couldn't find it.

Then there was a feeling of panic rushing to the mouth of the throat.Under the surprised gaze of the emperor, Gilfies felt his back start to sweat.He understood that if the emperor reacted, he would never be able to get away with it, and in this case...

In fact, his feelings for Reinhardt are far more complicated than the other party's feelings for him.He is very clear that he has complaints about him, he doesn't want to treat each other like before, he has a purely playful attitude towards certain emotions of the emperor, and what he is looking for is nothing more than what he wants to understand, but at this moment, he I just don't think I can let him know.

But it didn't work.

His current expression could never be faked, nor could it be covered up.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, the emperor almost understood.His complexion deteriorated rapidly, and his expression was almost uncontrollable.

"Your Majesty..." Gilfies finally pulled himself out of his stupor.He instinctively stretched out his hand to help the emperor, but was immediately clamped by the other party's wrist.

"What's the matter with you?" the emperor asked him.

Gilfies still wanted to try to hide it: "Your Majesty, you don't have to..."

The emperor glared at him.Faced with such gazes, even he couldn't continue talking.

"Answer me, what's wrong with you."

"It has something to do with cerebral ischemia, but it's mostly just a side effect of anesthesia." In desperation, Gilfies had no choice but to describe the incident to him as lightly as possible, "You understand. There is no damage, and the symptoms are fine." It's not serious, and it should recover naturally in a few years."

"The others?"

"Nothing else." Gilfies replied with great certainty.

The emperor let go of his wrist.

Gilfies felt that he seemed to be in despair.He just stood there motionless, a sense of emptiness and tranquility enveloped him, making him present a not too strong, uniform and brittle white like paper.

Fortunately, he survived in the end.

He shook his head slightly at first, opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it again.Then he tried a few more times before finally regaining the ability to speak.

"yesterday……"

"What, Your Majesty?"

"Yesterday, you said that it doesn't matter whether we are right or wrong."

"Of course, Your Majesty."

"But I won't make the same mistake again. I promise."

For a while, Gilfies really wanted to pull the emperor who was standing in front of him with his head down, hug him, pat him on the back, and tell him not to be sad anymore, and he believed that the other party would have no objections .

But he knew very well that he couldn't really do that.
