Chapter 1324 Curiosity (Second update)
"This world is cruel and realistic. You may think that by serving as the Twelve Knights of the Royal Order, you are working for me. In fact, you are not. You are working for yourself."
Ikaroa replied coldly.
Su Mo was also very shocked inside, but he didn't show it on the surface and just listened quietly.
The Lord of Ikaroya then said: "Everything you do for me, I will reward you. Every effort you put in, you can get feedback from me, and I will definitely be fair and just. So you are not loyal to me, but more loyal to yourself.”
When Su Mo heard this, a strange thought came to his mind. He felt that the Lord of Ikaroya was somewhat similar to the old man.
It's all exchanges of equal value, no pie-in-the-sky pie.
"I understand, Lord Ikaroa."
Su Mo nodded in response.
The Lord of Ikaroya then said to Su Mo: "So it's not impossible for you to pardon Tilo. It's very simple. Just pay an equivalent price. You should think about it before answering me."
"I've thought about it, I want to pardon her."
Su Mo responded calmly.
"Okay, in that case I can promise you. And I can also advance the payment in advance to pardon her. When the time comes, you need to do something for me."
The Lord of Ikaroya said to Su Mo.
When Su Mo heard something being done, his instincts twitched. He did everything the old man asked him to do, not to mention the sour and refreshing feeling.
This Ikaroa asked to do one thing, which is definitely more cheating.
But even so, Su Mo still replied bravely.
"No problem."
Seeing Su Mo's confirmation, Ikaroya took out a pardon order from the drawer.
She picked up the pen and signed her order on it, and then handed the pardon order to Su Mo.
"Take this document and go to the Endless Deep Space Prison to pick someone up."
"Thank you City Lord, I'll retire first."
Su Mo took the pardon order, saluted, turned and left.
The Lord of Ikaroya looked at Su Mo's leaving figure and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
On the other side, Su Mo walked out of the Executive Council Building. He took a few deep breaths of air and felt much more relaxed.
Don't look at it. The conversation with the Lord of Ikaroya only lasted ten minutes. But it feels like a century has passed so long, which is too depressing.
Then Su Mo's eyes fell on the special sealed file bag in his hand.
He was also very curious as to what important things were contained here that the Lord of Ikaroya could explain so solemnly.
Another point is, why do other people also have it, and why can’t it be opened until half a year later?
Thinking of this, Su Mo felt itchy in his heart, so he asked the Creator Devourer.
"Xiao Yan, can you scan the contents inside?"
"Stop dreaming. This is not an ordinary sealed file. It is made of a special insulating material that can be insulated from scanning. In addition to opening it physically, don't expect to be able to see the contents inside. Also, please tell me your most important thing. It's best not to open it, otherwise there's no guarantee that there will be any special problems. When the time comes for you to screw up that crazy woman, be careful if she skins you. You've also seen that she has no emotions at all, just like a woman. A cold machine.”
The Creator Devourer said to Su Mo.
The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said: "Forget it then."
Buzzing~
At this time, Su Mo's bracelet vibrated.
Su Mo looked down and a message popped up.
This message was from Arles, and Su Mo was quite surprised. He didn't expect the Arles Council Leader to reply to him so late.
He quickly opened it and took a look.
"Su Mo, thank you for your reminder and concern. The situation in the Federation is still under control. I have been busy with various things recently, so I apologize for the late reply."
Su Mo looked at this message and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong? Doesn't this message say it's okay?"
The Creator Devourer saw that something was wrong with Su Mo's expression, so he asked.
"I don't feel right. Forget it, let's go back to the Federation."
Su Mo said thoughtfully.
"It's up to you."
The Creator Devourer doesn't care.
Early the next morning, Su Mo, who had changed into casual clothes, took a ship flight and arrived at the Earth Star City of Freedom.
He walked off the ship and saw people boarding the ship everywhere. If there were no accidents, they were all going to the Star Ring City.
On the contrary, not many people got off the ship that Su Mo boarded.
At this moment, a huge explosion sounded in the distance.
Boom!
Then billows of black smoke could be seen rising.
Faced with the sudden noise, the people boarding the ship in the interstellar airport seemed to be used to it and were not too touched.
Everyone quickened their pace and boarded the ship silently.
Su Mo frowned slightly and walked out. When he left the interstellar airport and came to the street.
I found that the huge Free City looked extremely depressed. There were not a few speeding cars on the road, and the doors of various shops were closed.
The ground is littered with rubbish and broken public facilities.
There are many soldiers patrolling, and you can even see a black steel mecha.
And the patrolling soldiers will immediately intercept anyone who sees someone who is not in the right state.
When Su Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown and walked towards the parliament building.
Half an hour later, Su Mo appeared in front of the administrative building of Freedom City. The entire building was heavily guarded, and two night guard mechas could even be seen at the door.
No surprise, the administrative building was also under martial law.
Su Mo picked up the badge, put it on and walked straight in.
When the soldiers guarding him saw the badge on Su Mo's chest, they all saluted and moved out of the way.
Su Mo walked straight in, but at this moment, he bumped into Haiyue.
"Haiyue?"
"Master Su Mo? Why are you here?"
Haiyue was also shocked.
"I came to see the President of the Arles Council. I thought he must not be in the Ring City right now, so I came here."
"Then why didn't you tell me in advance that the Lord Council Leader could wait for you?"
"Isn't he busy? Why bother?"
"That Mr. Su Mo, the President of the Council is not here. I am going to find him."
Haiyue replied with a headache.
"Then where is he?"
"He, he is in the Cormy quarantine area. I am about to go there."
"Well, that's just right. I'll go with you."
"This is inappropriate, that place is not very good. How about you wait here, and I will go over and tell the President of the Assembly of Arles and ask him to come back to see you."
"No need to go to such trouble, let's go together, I'm not that pretentious."
"Okay, come with me."
Haiyue nodded and led Su Mo towards the temporary shutdown scale.
I saw a III-generation starfighter Gray Dove parked there.
Su Mo and Hai Yue boarded the starfighter quickly, and Hai Yue immediately said to the pilot: "Go to the Cormyr quarantine area."
"Yes!"
The driver responded respectfully. (End of chapter)
