Chapter 490 Chip Trading
When Xia Xiu held Yegor's hand tightly, he immediately felt the amazing power contained in the other's palm. This power was not purely physical power, but A powerful energy hidden deep in the bone marrow and accumulated over the years.
Having completed the [Holy Casting], just by shaking hands with the other party, the dominant organ in his body called [Bethlehem Power] felt like it felt an electric current, and keenly Something both concrete and abstract is passed down the arm to the brain.
This is a kind of intuition, a terrifying intuition brought about by an extremely powerful body.
On the other side, Yegor's usually serious and calm face couldn't help but show a look of surprise at this moment. As an angel, he could also sense the fourth guardian of heaven. The sword man is unusual.
The handshake between the two parties did not last long, just after Yegor's words "I have heard about the name for a long time".
Xia Xiu had a smile on his face.
"I am the same, I have heard about the name for a long time.
To be honest, this is the first time I have face-to-face communication with a presiding judge of the Tribunal during my time in the Kingdom of Heaven."
After saying this, both parties had already let go of their hands.
"Angels are very busy, especially as a high-level angel."
Yegor took over Xia Xiu's topic and continued chatting. Obviously, he did not come to the Alchemy Engineering Department to chat. Meeting each other here is obviously not a coincidence.
“Thirty minutes ago, the candidate competition list has been iteratively updated. The primary list has now been basically finalized, and the relevant decision-making authority has also been distributed. I would like to congratulate you here on your success. "Served as the decision maker."
Facing Yegor's congratulations, the young man with blond hair and golden eyes showed a warm and sincere smile.
“I still have a long way to go, and there are still many things that need to be improved. Moreover, I am still only a reserve decision-maker, not even a candidate. There is such a thing as opening champagne at halftime. It’s better not to mention it, it’s easy to become extremely happy and sad.”
"Yes, but I feel that you have great potential to take over. After all, to successfully replace the old and the new, young and capable people must come out to do the work and take over the previous generation. To do the work, you must obtain a certain degree within the pedigree. Your current status and reputation will be just right. In the Kingdom of Heaven, there are many older colleagues who have maintained the situation until now due to historical reasons and work needs. Originally, this situation could last longer, but a traitor appeared among the members of the family, and the situation in Terra became increasingly tense. Now, looking at the overall situation, Heaven needs to change its leadership, and the next rotation needs to be done. Work is very important, and succession is positive and constructive, not negative. The important task of those who were in the original team now is to help the new team that is about to take over to actually connect with the original team. To ensure that the program and system of the Kingdom of Heaven remain unchanged.”
Xia Xiu listened silently.
He is now also a high-level angel within the "administrative system" of the pedigree, so he naturally has to analyze Yegor's strict words frame by frame.
It is 100% not a coincidence that Yegor appears here. [Rainbow Bridge] sent him here, and it probably has something to do with the other party.
And what the other party said about the wheel just now means that he has a high probability of becoming a member of the next core leadership body of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, as a "young angel", he still has a very different faction from the "old angels" in terms of opinions. Differences and opinions are different, and after the political handover, whether the old ideas can be continued depends on the thoughts of the "young angels".
Yegor came here today simply to test whether the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven could become his political ally, and at the same time convey his political demands to the outside world.
He just expressed his hope that the kingdom of heaven under the leadership of the new resolution meeting can maintain the smoothness of political connection. There is a conservative thought between the lines of his words.
Xia Xiu was a little surprised when these words came from someone from the [Utopianism] faction, but he still wanted to test whether the other party was really conservative or there was something in his words.
After all, his current network of connections, apart from the sword-wielding lineage and the chairman of the ethics committee, only leaves the management bureau, which was established less than a year ago and is like a grass-roots team.
Needless to say, the other three sword holders are not involved in the administrative operations within the Heavenly Kingdom lineage. Their role is more to provide Xia Xiu with prestige support.
The role and help of the Ethics Committee to him is also implicit, because there are a large number of civilian angels in their group, and the violent institutions and powers involved are relatively rare.
Angels have always been "guns" commanding the lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven, not the lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven commanding the "guns".
The reason why the resolution assembly can become the highest center of power is that they have the absolute political guarantee provided by violent institutions such as burial institutions, sword-bearing men, more than half of the high-ranking angels, Eden and the Supreme Program.
The right person will get many help, but the wrong person will get little help.
As the decision-maker of the reserves, what Xia Xiu has to do now is to make more friends within the family and try to be as little thorn in the side as possible.
However, he was just trying to be as little of a thorn as possible, so his next answer would definitely not go along with Yegor's wishes.
"Your Excellency Yegor, you must know that the main thing about change and immutability is a balance. Regarding balance, I always have a traditional standard, that is, there must be a balance between ourselves. This is not the highest level. Standard, because it only talks about balance, and does not require you to receive less and give more to others. And you may also forget one thing. The purpose of retreat is to advance, and the purpose of the older generation to withdraw is to let us in.
But we naturally understand that they will not just quit and just ignore things. They will continue to help the new colleagues and help us embark on this path and walk this path well, instead of just taking care of it in the first term. Once you are in office, you can leave it alone. As newcomers, you will always have to face the attention of the older generation and the expectations of the new generation. The road is always moving forward, but it is always twists and turns, and everyone is feeling the stones. We are passing by, so we can’t stay the same, right?”
The blond young man had a smile on his face. His smile did not contain any exaggerated emotions, but was natural and sincere, but the middle-aged man opposite him did not. She looked at him solemnly, while his words continued.
"With this change of office, the scope of changes in the lineage personnel will inevitably be relatively large.
All angels must have a clearer mind and act in accordance with unified decisions.
You must understand, Change is for the sake of stability, and retreat is for advancement. This should be the consensus of both the advancing and retreating parties involved in this change, and even all the angel colleagues. This is the basic understanding to ensure that we successfully complete the task of the change.
About the program. Naturally, our persistence will not change, but under the new situation in Terra, some details still need to be changed. Isn’t the self-transformation and revolutionary nature of the Kingdom of Heaven part of the requirements of the program? Without this self-transformation, wouldn’t the Kingdom of Heaven be able to change? From an ideal organization that gathered the banner of idealism, it turned into a violent organization that gathered authoritarian ideas. If this is really the case, then it is no wonder that other Terrans are afraid of the flags of the Kingdom of Heaven being planted all over Terra, because that would be detrimental to Terra. All Terrans are a disaster”
A sharp light flashed in Yegor's eyes. His gaze was profound, as if he could instantly see everything behind the smile of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Everyone who has decided to attend the meeting is a supervisor and overseer of the entire Kingdom of Heaven - these angels are the highest controllers of the Kingdom of Heaven." Yegor looked at the blond hair in front of him seriously and deeply. The young man with golden eyes said, "No matter what happened in the past, the resolution meeting is the core of the Kingdom of Heaven. Their decisions have brought the Kingdom of Heaven through many difficulties. Even if 0-13 has betrayed the Kingdom of Heaven, the contribution he has made to the Kingdom of Heaven is still It cannot be ignored, which is why his depravity seems so unforgivable."
"I naturally understand this, so if I become a member of the assembly, I will definitely not let the idealistic faction in the Tribunal happen. There have been too many changes. After all, it is because of them that the Kingdom of Heaven can flourish while maintaining its deterrence to the outside world," Xia Xiu replied with a smile.
Both parties have initially expressed their respective opinions, and Xia Xiu has also made a statement.
The next step is the exchange of chips.
Xia Xiu was waiting for Yegor to hand over his chips first, so he placed a bet based on the situation.
At this time, Yegor continued to stare at the blond young man with focused and oppressive eyes, as if trying to read more information from every facial detail of the young leader. The other person’s golden eyes Ordinary eyes were looking at him fearlessly.
When the blond young man said: All angels must have a clearer mind and handle things according to unified decisions.
He knew that this young sword-holder was serious. This angel from the earth would bring different changes to the kingdom of heaven. As for whether this change was good or bad, he now also Can't tell.
Now that both parties have expressed their stances, and there is no line conflict for the time being, an appropriate exchange of chips will be beneficial to both parties.
"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. No matter what grand ideas you have, you must remain loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven. We don't want to encounter such an example of 0-13 again. I came here today just to talk to you One thing, as a reserve decision maker, you already have the power to submit resolution plans and sequence tasks to the pedigree. These things will be key victory indicators in the candidate competition
And I want to say. There is only one thing to do. Include the attack and elimination of the Messiah in your future resolutions and proposals, and use the authority you have in this world to deal with the Messiah. As long as you do this, the Tribunal will be defeated. All the angels of judgment that I can radiate will contribute to the victory indicators in your candidate competition pool.”
After hearing Yegor’s words, the young heavenly decider. He gently adjusted his clothes, and then looked directly into Yegor's eyes with a serious expression.
"What I hate most are traitors." Xia Xiu's words were concise and direct, without any hesitation.
This sentence stood out in the quiet air, as if it was a heavy hammer, announcing that they had completed the exchange of chips.
"Very good."
A smile finally appeared on Yegor's originally serious and cold face. This smile seemed like a flower that suddenly bloomed from the cold stone sculpture.
This chip transaction is beneficial to both parties.
Hugh Abraham obtained the support of Nemo Yegor, one of the six chief judges of the Tribunal, which gave him a lot of support chips in the candidate competition pool, and he had to pay What is needed is a resolution proposal and the face of a hostile force that was meant to be eliminated.
Nemo Yegor used Hugh Abraham's sword-wielding ability and his power to increase his efforts to eliminate the [Messiah]. Although this is originally the basic political task of the Kingdom of Heaven, Only when the other party includes eliminating [Messiah] among its agenda can it show how much it values this basic task.
After Yegor completed the chip transaction, he planned to leave here with his civil servants.
Angels are all busy, and high-level angels are even busier. The main reason why he appeared in the Alchemy Engineering Department today was just to have a chat with the new decision maker.
Just when Yegor was about to leave the dock with his civil servants, Xia Xiu suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I have another question to ask."
Egor and his civil servants stopped involuntarily, turned around and looked at Xia Xiu.
There was a hint of curiosity in Xia Xiu's expression. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at the cratered and badly damaged [La Reina].
“Where are the machine spirits on the ship?” Xia Xiu couldn’t hide the curiosity in his voice. As the core and soul of a ship, the importance of the machine soul to a ship is self-evident, so he is really curious about whether the machine soul of the Larena is dead or alive.
“Are you the type who believes that humans and machine souls can live in harmony?” Yegor asked with an inquiring tone.
"That's not true." Xia Xiu rubbed his chin and answered directly. He is a man of unwavering strength, and anything that is not strong enough will be put in the library to eat dust.
Egor slowly reached into the pocket of his military coat and took out a broken chip that was constantly arcing. This chip looks extremely old, and the cracks and scorch marks on its surface are telling an unknown story. He held up the chip so that Xia Xiu could clearly see this unfortunate relic.
"This is the remains of the machine soul." Yegor's voice was calm and steady, but with a hint of irrefutable coldness. "I don't think machine souls and humanoid intelligence will remain loyal to humans."
After saying that, Yegor exerted slight pressure on his fingers, and the broken chip further disintegrated under his palm. , eventually shattered into pieces. His movements are both decisive and powerful, as if symbolizing an end to the past or a warning for the future.
The moment the chip was crushed, the weak electric arc was extinguished as the fragments flew away, as if the last trace of vitality of the machine soul was completely strangled.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
Machine souls, are their dreams a dream of pursuing freedom or a dream of loyalty to mankind?
