"Really? That naive little girl still holds real power?" "It seems that your connection is deeper than I thought." "A partner? No, you don't look like someone who would share the same interests as her." “Can I understand this as an alliance with deeply bound interests?” Luo Shu glanced at the old man and sneered: "how?" "Don't you care if I'm the mastermind? I admitted it, so why don't you believe it?" Hugh Carlyle shook his head and then said meaningfully: "No, I believe it." "But I also believe that with that little girl's smartness, she will definitely not lose command of the entire SDS."

"From this point of view, I am more inclined to believe that you and she are in a cooperative relationship." "Because Lacus Klein has always been very clear about her own situation and what her thoughts will bring." "So, she has been looking for a solid and sufficiently intimidating shell for her thoughts." "If she can be compared to the scabbard of King Arthur's sword, then she herself has been looking for the sword of victory that can be carried." "From the look of her now, it seems she has found it successfully." At this point, Hugh Carlyle laughed and said: "Are you interested in hearing the complaints of an old man like me?" Luo Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to indicate that he wanted to hear more details. "Where should I start..." Hugh Carlyle showed a nostalgic expression, then sighed softly and said: "Let's talk about the 'natural disaster' 30 years ago. Although not many people remember it, it affected everyone." Luo Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was somewhat curious about the changes in the sky that Hugh Carlisle mentioned. He vaguely remembered that the so-called warlock, all the abilities, the so-called descent of the abyss, and the abyss props all appeared more than 30 years ago. It seems like 30 years ago was a very special day. Calculating the time, it seems to be around 1990-1994? At this time, Hugh Carlyle showed a look of reminiscence and said: "Speaking of 30 years ago..." "At that time, I had just gained recognition from my father and started to gradually take over the family business. That was also when I was at my most ambitious." "Wealth, power, women, and all kinds of things that ordinary people can't imagine, I desperately enjoy and pursue them."

"To this end, I received two kidney replacement treatments, three eye vision restoration surgeries, and also invested in a large number of pharmaceutical companies." "It was through those frequent treatments that I came into contact with the medical community and the first batch of Abyssal Props." "Of course, those things were not called Abyss Props at that time, but were called 'magical items'." "It was then that I realized that there were more objects with magical powers and more people with magical abilities in this world." "Of course, there are also many more 'families' that seem to have existed for a long time, but have never existed in my life experience and should not exist." At this point, Hugh Carlyle paused and said: "Siegel Klein's wife, the woman from the Pachi tribe, was the first mysterious person I came into contact with." Although Luo Shu was surprised when he heard this, he was not surprised. After all, according to his impression, the name of the Pachi tribe should come from the same world as Asakura Yewang and Osorezan Anna. Moreover, Luo Shu also knew the reason why Hugh Carlyle should not exist. "The reason why it shouldn't exist is because the Pachis are a powerful Indian group?" "Yes." Hugh Carlyle smiled and said, "Can you believe it?" "Almost all of them were scalped by my ancestors to make shoes. It is surprising that there are still remnants of the extinct tribe, and they are so terrible that it is unimaginable." "As soon as they appeared, they used terrible means to control several families, including mine, and secretly controlled many arms groups. They also competed with the capital consortiums in the dark and continued to expand their power." "A lot of things happened behind the scenes during that process, and it even led to a civil war within the American Union." "And in the end, it was the Pachi tribe that took the initiative to cease the war." "On the one hand, the people in power behind the American Union have mastered a so-called god-level abyss item, which has caused the Pachi tribe, who also possess a god-level abyss item, to become wary." "On the other hand, it is also because of a prophecy made by the great elder of the Pachi tribe before his death." "What prophecy?" Luo Shu showed a curious expression when he heard it. Hearing this, Hugh Carlyle showed a mocking expression: "At the end of the century, in July, a terrifying king descended from the sky, causing King Angramea to be resurrected. Mars then ruled the world in the name of happiness, and mankind entered the prelude to the end." "..." Luo Shu was speechless after hearing this: "¨' Isn't this the doomsday prophecy that has been circulating for a long time? How come it has been brought up again?" Hugh Carlyle then said calmly: "Many people in the American Union at the time believed this prophecy, and the chiefs and elders of the Pachi tribe made the same statement." “And similarly, many sorcerers in Europe, Asia, and even Africa who have demonstrated the ability to predict and divination have made the same predictions.” "....." Luo Shu frowned deeply when he heard this. Did the people on the mysterious side make the same prediction? That was really scary. But the King of Terror is resurrected? This is a cliché... The end of the century in 99 has already passed, right? "So, at the end of the century of 99, the King of Terror was defeated? Was the world saved?"

Hearing Luo Shu's mocking words, Hugh Carlyle shook his head and said: "The King of Terror did come at the end of the century, but he was not defeated, but 'growing up'." Luo Shu was stunned when he heard this. At this moment, Hugh Carlyle said in a heavy tone: (De De Zhao) "Whether it's the divination conducted by the Five Great Alliance using the Abyss Prophets they collected, or the divination conducted by the prophets and fortune-tellers of powerful races such as the Pachi tribe using various methods, the conclusions reached are that the King of Terror is growing and the power of the end is growing stronger." "But no matter how you divine, you can't get a more accurate answer. Seven." "For this reason, both the Alliance and the Pachi tribe are looking for ways to deal with it." "And the method that the Pachi tribe found was to cultivate a so-called 'Elf King', to cultivate a new god, and thus prevent the birth of disasters." "And the god they chose..." Luo Shu frowned deeply upon hearing this and said hesitantly, "Did the Pachi tribe choose Lux?" Hearing this, Hugh Carlyle shook his head and said immediately: "No, it's someone else." "A woman who was called the reincarnation of 'Joan of Arc' by the Pachi tribe." Luo Shu was stunned. How come even the reincarnation of Joan of Arc is here... Chapter 317 Internal Factions of SDS Joan of Arc reincarnated? This name is rare in real life, but it is quite common in the second dimension. At least in Luo Shu's impression, there are at least a dozen heroines in the two-dimensional world who are set as the reincarnation of Joan of Arc. Therefore, even though Luo Shu guessed that the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, who was chosen by the Pachi tribe to be trained as a new generation of gods, might also be a candidate for the family, he was not clear about the other party's specific identity. As for searching using the proclamation volume, Luo Shu would only try it when he had time, and did not hold out much hope. After all, the Pachi tribe, who can even predict the end of the world, don't seem like they would not take special precautions against divination and prophecy. Let's not talk about Jeanne's reincarnation for now. Luo Shu was more concerned about Lux's situation: "What's going on with Lux?" The one that the Pachi tribe really invested in cultivating was the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, so what about Lux? Hearing this, Hugh Carlyle raised his chin, looked at the ceiling, and laughed: "she?" "She was raised by the Pachi tribe as a sword or shield held by a saint, and as an 'angel' to assist God."

"Under a new god, 007 will eventually have to have some angels serving him, right?" Hearing Hugh Carlyle say this, Luo Shu glanced at him and said lightly: "Angel? That's not a funny joke." Although the rank of angels is not disclosed within SDS, any mysterious organization that truly possesses a certain heritage should be aware of the significance of angels. In Luo Shu's impression, the Pachi tribe is a race of priests of the planet's will. Obviously, it is impossible that they are not a force without inheritance. So....does this really mean Lux can be an angel walking the earth? Did someone steal my job? Oh, it seems that I am the one who robbed people? Just as Luo Shu was wondering who was robbing whom, Hugh Carlisle shook his head: "This is no joke." "This is the real truth!" "Why do you think the woman of the Pachi tribe, the woman who controls and manages our capitalist families, chose Siegel?" "Is it because of his face? Or is it because of his talent? Or is it because of the less than 100,000 adjusters he leads?" Hugh Carlyle said this with a mocking look on his face: "Isn't it because he wants a daughter with angelic qualities?" Hugh Carlyle seemed to be somewhat resentful of Siegel. In this regard, Luo Shu just guessed: "You and the eldest lady of the Pachi tribe..." Hugh Carlisle paused, said nothing, and just glanced at Luo Shu. Okay, so he might be the secret admirer of Lux's stepmother... By the way, Siegel Klein seems to have blond hair... Pure love meets blond hair? Luo Shu complained in his heart, and then asked indifferently: "Although I sympathize with your situation, it seems that our friendship is not deep enough to discuss such topics, right?" Hugh Carlyle squinted his eyes, looked at Luo Shu's face, and then chuckled: “Because you have the value of knowing this.” "And this value is enough for me to tell you the truth behind these scenes." "Besides, after you joined SDS and boarded Lacus Clyne's chariot, your future direction was basically determined." Hugh Carlyle said this with a meaningful tone: "When SDS was first established, it received resource support from the Pachi tribe and was tainted with their influence." "Whether Lacus Klein chooses to continue cooperating with the Pachi tribe and serve as their angel of god, or to be independent and sever the ties between the two parties and establish her own territory, she will inevitably have to deal with the priests of the Great Will."

"And based on my understanding, the possibility that she will accept the cooperation is much higher than the possibility that she will refuse." "After all, she is also a 'pacifist' who believes in that prophecy and is actively preparing for the end of the world." "So, when she pledges allegiance to the reincarnation of the saint, will you also pledge allegiance to the saint?" Hearing this, Luo Shu smiled and said, "If the Saint is very beautiful, I think I would be loyal to her." Hugh Carlyle was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Yeah?"
