Chapter 2339 Two Ends of the Game
A moment later, when Mo Tan and Monica came to an open space with faint starlight, the former stopped first.
Monica, who has been walking in front since she entered Jackdaw Castle and has been responsible for 'pathfinding' until now, also immediately stood still and turned to look at this elusive person behind her. The big shot in Tou whispered: "Mr. Tanmo?"
"I remember Hogel once said that although he was given a considerable degree of authority by the chief referee, in this fictional final dream Here, sitting at the hub connecting the second and third floors... that is, in the chapel, he can only relatively control the movements of the two areas, 'Jackdaw Castle' and 'Safe Zone'."
Mo. Tan leaned against an old tree covered with flower vines, folded his arms and said in a brisk tone: "In other words, if there were no intelligence from regional leaders like Cary Splitskull and various front leaders from time to time, To sum up, it is actually difficult for him to grasp the whole picture of [Fake Dream]. Putting aside the Destruction Gorge, which is completely unknown to the Eastern Expeditionary Army at this moment, he may not be able to grasp the sphere of influence and superior front of Jackdaw Castle. Got too much time-sensitive information.”
Monica frowned and asked curiously: "So?"
"So I admire him very much."
Mo Tan smiled and said leisurely: "I can tell. Whether it is the deputy leader of the Blood God Sect, Hogel Sid, or the Justice Sect's Cary Skull Knight, they all feel a certain degree of despair about the current environment while being numb, but even so, in theory, there is He has the right to wake up from his dream, but he always performs...or abides by his duties, which is really awe-inspiring."
Monica blinked, nodded in agreement: "Yes. It's true, you say."
"That's why I want to help them."
While Mo Tan was twirling the hair hanging on his shoulders, he said with a solemn expression: "Although many people say that I am a bit slovenly and like to deny traditions and resist rules, but even so, my justice does not allow me to do anything about what happens. Turning a blind eye to the 'injustice' in front of her."
"Well..."
Remembering the past of the Cary couple, Monica nodded slightly and looked at this person who seemed carefree. However, Mr. Tan Mo, who had a righteous heart hidden under the surface of cynicism, was in awe.
[Perhaps only this kind of person would join forces with His Highness to overthrow the Marshall family, which is deeply entrenched in the empire, without any benefits at all, and without asking for any benefits afterwards. 】
Monica, who is not a correct person in outlook, but is indeed a good person in an objective sense, breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes softened. After all, as a [Female Bee], she has I have read the "Overview of the Report on the Marshall Family Collusion with the Cult [Whisper]" more than once, and after combining it with the exclusive records of [Female Bee], I came to a conclusion——
That is to say, in Monica's opinion, Mr. Tanmo and Ms. Futaba, who are from other worlds but can work seamlessly with His Highness, their contributions are absolutely comparable to those of the Sword Master Dantès who had been instigated long ago and Xiu, who had always been with Xiu before the dust settled. ·Bracen's Baroka and Crystal Wolf families stand together.
What was difficult for her to understand was that the two people who had made such a great contribution, not only indirectly overthrowing the Marshall family, but also allowing Shoe to become regents several years ahead of schedule, did not want anything. He left the Violet Empire before the matter was completely over.
Using the ‘outsider’s saying’ that His Highness is very fond of recently, this seems to be called - take off your clothes and hide your merits and fame.
And now, after seeing Mo Tan decide to stay and help just because he heard about the past between the [Twilight Crow Eastern Expedition] and the [God Destroying Society], Monica Finally, I vaguely understood the reason why they left so casually in the first place.
Still quoting His Highness’s favorite ‘outsider’s saying’, I’m afraid this is the so-called true temperament, the so-called - roar when you see injustice on the road, and take action when it’s time to take action.
It has nothing to do with interests, and it is not a transaction. It is simply because they encountered injustice, so they took action to rectify the situation. As for the cooperation with His Highness the Regent, I am afraid that it is unexpected for those two people.
Monica shook her head absentmindedly, with a wry smile appearing on the corner of her mouth. She didn’t know when she started to compare her anger towards the slave trade, the disgust of the evil sect, and the pain of the lord’s unkindness. , are more concerned about the efficiency of completing their tasks, the control of intelligence under the table, and the progress of phased goals.
Not only that, even when he learned that Hugh Bresne planned to send troops to attack the Principality of Scaran, he seemed to instinctively ignore the injustice of this war and the innocent people who were destined to be affected. He was just thinking seriously about how to carry out his 'job' such as espionage, assassination and public opinion warfare.
Deep down in her heart, she knew very well that the reason why His Royal Highness the Regent planned to attack the Principality of Scaran was entirely to suppress the conflicts within the empire and divert the attention of the people and nobles to war, and then better integrate and liquidate the major families.
Beyond this, if there is any other reason, it is that the geographical location of the Principality of Skarlan is particularly advantageous, and when His Highness Regent Sue Bresne was still the prince, there was more than one incident. It means that the Chauvin Empire in the Southwest Continent is much more successful than the Principality of Scaran, a country that also has the advantage of 'water conservancy'.
And Monica also believes that if His Royal Highness, who has a terrifying pattern and unparalleled means and skills, is allowed to take charge of Skarlan, its development will definitely not be inferior to that of being surrounded by the Griffin Dynasty on three sides. The business ecology is already extremely bad. The jingoistic empire!
But she didn’t realize until now that while she was looking forward to the regent’s great ambitions, she had unknowingly forgotten the fundamental reason why she was loyal to him.
You must know that Monica Stewart is not the kind of Xiao Na who has a past that is difficult to talk about. She can almost be said to be a dead soldier who was saved from fire and water by Xiu himself. In fact, although the Marquis Stewart family is far inferior in the Violet Empire, Royalty with Dantès, Marshall, Baroka, Crystal The famous founding families such as Wolf, Fernan, Fire Claw and Simon have almost zero real power, but they still have some influence in the political circles of the royal capital Salamoon. And the current head of the family, Marquis Stewart's youngest daughter Monica, was However, her father intended to marry His Highness Prince Xiu Bresne.
It is true that the Stewart family is neither possible nor qualified to be the most important ally of the Violet family like the Dantès family. The head of the family also knows that if he really wants to make this idea, he will probably be defeated by the Dantès family the next day. It was like squeezing an ant to death, so they didn't have the idea of Crown Prince Rebbe Bresne in the first place. Instead, they wanted to match Monica with the idle prince who had no future but at least he was good-looking, and competed with the Bresne family. A relative.
Then, Miss Monica, who entered the second prince’s social circle with a mission, was deceived into a high-ranking member of [Female Bee] in a short period of time, and she had strength, vision, and insight. The reason why she was willing to join the other party's subordinates was mainly because of the justice Xiu showed her.
And 'justice' was the biggest pursuit of Miss Monica back then, and it was much more tempting than such illusory things as love.
Of course, the former idle prince did not break his promise after becoming the regent. Instead, he gradually fulfilled his original promise to Monica, creating a mess of loose sand, intrigues, and seemingly incoherent violets. A holistic justice.
It’s just that there were too many ‘unjust’ things in this process, and Monica also understood that a truly outstanding ruler should not be a naive idealist.
Today, Monica, who has re-remembered her 'innocent' side, cannot become naive again and has a new standard of so-called 'justice', but this does not prevent her from being raped. She was touched by Mr. Mo's true temperament. Not only that, she even felt that the reason why her regent valued Tan Mo so much was because this man had the freedom and ease that he couldn't ask for.
"Sorry, Mr. Tan Mo, I seemed to be a little distracted just now."
Taking a deep breath, Monica pursed her lips in embarrassment after realizing that she had lost her composure. She turned to look at Mo Tan... where she should have been, her eyes widened.
"Mr. Tanmo?"
Although she has a baby head and face, Miss Stewart, who is not considered a girl because she is nearly thirty years old, looked around the quiet woodland blankly. , called a third time nervously: "Mr. Tan Mo?"
There was no answer.
It was as if the world had evaporated. The existence that was the backbone of Monica until just now disappeared silently. And although she was just barely calm, even though she had excellent psychological quality, she suddenly I became nervous, although not to the point of panic, but definitely a little shaken.
And as if the time had been accurately calculated, just when Monica's nervousness was about to reach a certain threshold, accompanied by a burst of brisk footsteps, Mo Tan, who had just 'missed', actually smiled from behind a tree in the blind corner of her field of vision. He walked out with a bright and happy expression on his face. "Mr. Tan Mo!"
Monica rushed over almost as soon as she saw Mo Tan, until she was less than half a meter away from the latter and could smell it. After smelling the faint fragrance of [Underworld·Red Sandalwood Charm No. 3·Fiyali Chamber of Commerce Small Box Hardcover Gift], he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his shoulders and said, "Where have you been? Ah!”
“Just confirming something.”
Although he didn’t know why the woman looked at him with admiration, he made sure that he was not wrong. 'In this role, Mo Tan quickly put this little thing behind him and said happily: "The result is gratifying~"
"The result is gratifying?"
Monica blinked and asked curiously: "What result?"
"Dear, you didn't see me just now, right?"
Mo Tan raised his hand and put it on Monica's thin shoulder affectionately, and smiled: "You didn't feel me, hear me, smell me, or taste me, right?"
"What the hell is this..."
Monica looked at this gentleman with a sense of principle and justice, although he seemed casual and free-spirited, and replied obediently: "Anyway, as you said, at least in my senses, You definitely disappeared completely just now."
"Very good."
Mo Tan snapped his fingers and said happily: "Then, according to the relationship between us 'outsiders'. Judging from your unique characteristics and the fact that I forced you to log off while you were distracted and were not 'stayed here', this area that can be regarded as a 'buffer zone' is indeed not monitored or observed by anyone."
Monica scratched her hair and tried hard to keep up with Mo Tan: "So you are suspecting..."
"Suspect that the guy named Hogel is still monitoring Us.”
Mo Tan raised his eyebrows, with a playful curve at the corner of his mouth, and said in a frivolous tone: "Shouldn't I be so suspicious? You must know that those who claim to be Deputy Commander Hogel and Skull Instructor are no longer Those gangs of magicians back then, who had been trapped in a dream for thousands of years, were not even 'human' in nature. They were just a bunch of unpredictable monsters who could do God knows what. I have Mysophobia, if you are raped by monsters all day long, you will get a rash on your butt~"
Monica: "...Huh?"
"Anyway, now that you know what those things are, don't you? If they are monitoring us, then whether they don't want to or are incapable, things will become much easier."
Mo Tan shrugged, then curled his lips and spat on the ground: "Hey, it's all in vain. That moment made me pee."
"That, Mr. Tan Mo."
Monica, whose expression was extremely complex, looked up at Mo Tan stiffly, looked directly into those unusually clear, yet extremely cloudy and chaotic eyes and said dryly: "Don't you mean to say, let's stay here for the time being?" The reason is actually not to look for the God Destroyer Society, right?"
"Huh? "
Mo Tan looked at Monica in confusion and said, "What are you talking about? We must be going to that God-Destroying Gorge. What else can we do? Reason."
[I knew that Mr. Tan Mo was just being unforgiving. 】
Monica smiled and her eyes softened again.
Then——
“After all, hedging your bets is the right way to go. Now I am very curious about what kind of person the secretive and life-and-death military leader is~”
"Huh?"
"Think about it, compared to the stupid little boy who was ordered to suffer forever after his commander died suddenly. Young, that soldier who has already found a way out for himself and who has the ability to control five legendary-level gods-killing five... uh, five beasts at the same time, is probably much better as a trading partner, right?"
"In short, let's go back to the God of Destruction Gorge together and explore the other side's family first."
"Ah this..."
"It's not easy to do this once. If I don't squeeze out all these exhausted historical residues, I will be laughed to death by your regent when I go back."
"You are also..."< br>
"Okay, I'll leave now if I have something else to do. This is my favorite tent. If you want, you can use it as my place to sleep. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."
“Huh?”
"Bye."
"Huh?!"
