Extraordinary pedigree

Terra calendar 1590.12.26.

2:22 AM.

The sunken land of Mu continent in this world.

Dong dong dong——

The moonlight shines on the silent ocean like a thin layer of frost.

Above this dead sea, transport planes slowly circled. Their designs were avant-garde and their lines were smooth.

The surfaces of these huge aircraft are painted a deep night sky blue, with cold white navigation lights flashing only on the edges of the wings.

Below the plane, countless lights illuminate the sea, turning the night ocean into a world of twinkling lights and shadows.

These beams cut across the water, illuminating the ripples, but seem unable to penetrate the deep seafloor.

The white angel standing on the quiet sea level looked up at the plane appearing above.

He knew that it was the working group composed of the Tactical Theology Department of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Knights of Rhode Island, and the Backstreet Boys responsible for taking over Ghatanothoa.

Just as Xia Xiu was watching the clearly defined planes in the sky, they began to hover at low altitude. The wings of the planes reflected the cold light under the moonlight, which was in sharp contrast with the blue ocean.

The belly of the plane slowly opened, and then mysterious objects were dropped one after another.

The objects were perfectly square metal bodies, varying in size, but each shone like the brightest star in the night sky.

Their surfaces are covered with countless densely packed runes, which shine with an indescribable luster under the moonlight, as if they contain some ancient and powerful power.

The runes are carved extremely finely on the metal surface, and every stroke is full of mystery and profound meaning.

bump--

As soon as the metal cube touched the sea water, the densely packed runes began to glow faintly, like stars in the deep sea, dotting the sea surface in the night like stars.

The metal body sank slowly and was gradually swallowed up in the deep sea water.

As they sink, the scene in the deep sea begins to change subtly.

The originally dark waters began to gradually brighten, and the deep black and dark green began to gradually dissipate, replaced by a clearer and more natural blue.

When a large amount of metal bodies were thrown into the depths of the ocean, Xia Xiu felt that the suppression of the Volcano King on the [Mu Continent] below was being strengthened on a large scale.

It was at this time that Eden's message promptly reminded him that the plug-in and the Tongtian Dai had expired.

【Ding--】

[Your [Uriel Module] has expired and is now withdrawn! 】

[The [Blessing of the Ten Thousand Arms] on you has expired and is now withdrawn! 】

"The plug-in has expired..."

Xia Xiu raised his hands, and the modules and blessings of the etheric resources that had been continuously provided were stopped in an instant. This process brought him unprecedented physical and psychological discomfort.

Physically, he first felt a strong sense of weakness covering his whole body.

Psychologically, this loss of power brought him a short-term gap.

His muscles began to feel heavy, a kind of uncontrollable fatigue. This extraterrestrial journey was a very uncomfortable and long and boring work for him.

Now that he finally returned to Terra, he thought he could apply to Boss Eden for a leave of absence.

Let other angels take the lead first and rest themselves, so that they can have the energy to continue serving humans and Terra in the future.

Dong dong dong——

At this moment, under the silvery moonlight.

The plane's engines made a low and powerful roar.

On the plane, Catherine Siena, the leader of the Knights of Rhode Island, sat quietly on the bridge, her deep blue eyes staring closely at the angel below.

Sitting opposite Catherine Siena was Kashnish Abraham, the leader of the Backstreet Boys. He sat upright and had a calm expression, but revealed a trace of imperceptible curiosity. His eyes were also focused on the sea level. on the blond young man.

Under the bright moonlight, a handsome angel stood on the tranquil sea, his bare feet gently touching the water and suspended in the air.

The moonlight shone on his body, highlighting his almost transparent skin, like a perfect image in a sculpture.

Behind him, three halos as pure as mutton-fat white jade surrounded him, exuding a soft and sacred brilliance, and the thirty-six light particle wings shone brightly in the night sky, each wing seemed to be made of countless stars. Composition, shining with charming light.

And just after the working group threw the tools used to deal with the Great Silence into the ocean, the divine brilliance of the white-haired angel began to gradually dissipate.

The white hair and eyes gradually dissipated, like mist evaporating in the morning sun.

Instead, there was a warm golden luster that slowly spread over his body, gradually covering his appearance that was originally like a god on earth.

At the same time, the three haloes behind him also began to fade away, as if being swallowed up by this new power.

The once dazzling wings of thirty-six light particles began to gradually dissipate, and the light became darker and darker, until finally they completely merged into the night.

Soon, the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven transformed from the full MAX version to the normal golden retriever social animal form.

After removing all the plug-ins and Tongtiandai, Xia Xiu felt aches and pains all over his body. He subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes.

Because he is an angel, it is impossible for him to have dark circles physically.

However, the dark circles under his eyes still exist.

It exists deep in the mind, heart, subconscious, and dream of every heavenly creature...

Just when Xia Xiu felt sad because the plug-in had expired, and felt sad for his elusive vacation and endless work to come, the plane in the sky landed smoothly on the sea, and rippled on the water for a while. Waves.

Then, the hatch slowly opened, forming a bridge to the outside world.

The moment the cabin door opened, the sighing blond young man raised his head, and his golden eyes looked at the two handover persons on the plane.

When the two handover persons on the plane looked into the golden eyes of the blond young man, they involuntarily tensed up.

Faced with this solemn atmosphere, Xia Xiu seemed particularly calm.

He stretched out his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers. With a clear and loud "pop", miraculously, a set of decent black formal clothes appeared on his body and feet.

This formal suit is exquisitely tailored and fits his figure perfectly. The matching shoes also appear at his feet. The entire look is impeccable.

There was also a black top hat on his hand. He habitually ran his fingers through his fine blond hair, and then put the top hat elegantly on his head.

He walked across the water as easily as if he were walking on flat ground, and soon boarded the plane.

As he boarded the plane, the door closed in time, and the plane took off vertically, cutting through the night sky and continuing its journey.

Xia Xiu sat down, looking directly at the two handover persons, with a warm and brilliant smile on his face.

"Hello two, the next work may be hard for you. Although the [Ghatanothoa] sunk at the bottom of the sea has fallen asleep, as long as it exists in the present world, it is a factor of collapse that can never be ignored. , so you must pay more attention when dealing with this incident."

He greeted the two politely, his voice gentle and pleasant.

Facing the concern and handover from the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, Catherine Siena subconsciously straightened her body and answered him solemnly:

"First of all, thank you for your trust and concern for our team. Regarding the issue of [Ghatanothoa], our working group fully understands the importance and urgency of the task, and is also clearly aware that although he is currently in a state of slumber , but still a potentially huge risk.

Please be assured that we will do our best to ensure that every follow-up and sealing measure is strictly implemented.

The working group team will work closely together to ensure that all work is completed to the highest standards. We will also regularly report our work progress to Eden and actively seek guidance and advice from Eden to ensure that our work is always on the right track.

Finally, thank you again for your support of our work. "

Hearing this familiar work template, Xia Xiu couldn't help but blink his eyes. Why did the words sound familiar and friendly to him.

This answer, if you look at Terra's bureaucracy country, he is also a high-ranking official.

He subconsciously carefully looked at the angel who answered. According to the information he received from Eden, this angel was the reserve leader of the Medical Knights from the Mediterranean stationed in Rhodes Island in the present world.

A young and promising [Energy Angel] in his early thirties (lowest middle class).

Ms. Catherine Sienna looks to be in her thirties, but her mature demeanor that has been polished over the years makes her appear more calm and reliable than her actual age.

Her figure is tall and straight, and her back is always straight when she stands, as if she shows an unquestionable authority. Her face is resolute, with clear lines, without any excess tenderness, as if it were a finely carved sculpture.

Catherine's hair is neat and stereotyped, which is very consistent with the first stereotype of her - seriousness.

"What is the size of the knights Eden dispatched from Rhode Island this time?"

Xia Xiu asked Catherine, this was a boss-style question.

Obviously, he was just looking at the dish.

Language is a lens that focuses one's thoughts, and tonight he uses it to speak words that meet the needs of others.

"The Medical Knights of Rhode Island are a branch of the Knights Hospitallers of the Knights of St. John. We have always been responsible for executing the administrative orders issued by [the Unknown Land]. According to the strategic division of reality by the Kingdom of Heaven, the Knights Hospitallers are stationed in The Mediterranean region ensures the intervention of the Kingdom of Heaven in this world, and we also provide medical and relief services to other colleagues in the Kingdom of Heaven, especially to those angels on their mission in the Sea of ​​Chaos.

In addition to providing medical services, the Knights of St. John also have a military role. We have participated in many military conflicts, including this military intervention in Iberia.

According to Eden's instructions, two-thirds of the Medical Knights stationed in Rhode Island have been deployed this time, with nearly a thousand people including knights, infantry, medical personnel, and administrators. "

Catherine Siena maintained a solemn expression as she explained the members of the working group to the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven.

"The Knights of St. John...one of the Thirteen Heroes." Xia Xiu stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin and said inwardly.

He seemed to have thought of something interesting. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled at the extremely serious Catherine Siena in front of him and asked:

"Both the Knights and the Administration are products of the secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven, but the Knights are only semi-secular, while the Administration is an attempt to fully secularize. I am very curious now, as the leader of Rhode Island, how do you How about the sixth core organization of the Kingdom of Heaven - the Crisis Management Bureau?"

Ms. Catherine Sienna, as the head of the Knights of Rhode Island, faced this problem, and a complicated expression appeared on her face involuntarily.

A trace of hesitation and hesitation flashed across his originally calm and serious face.

The corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed to be struggling to find the right words.

This hesitation to speak is particularly obvious in her usually firm and decisive image.

Obviously, this question from the blond young man touched on a delicate topic.

Among the current six core institutions of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Administration and the Knights have the highest degree of secularization of the world. A large number of members of the Knights are also drawn from the secular world, but they only recruit "good family members".

Moreover, the knights must swear an oath to Eden on the spot, and Eden will also upload the application of thaumaturgy - [Discipline Art] to their lineage by default.

For the sake of humanity, each knight has the right to break the precepts three times a day (without touching the fundamental precepts). If he does not break the precepts in a month, he can accumulate the right of pardon once.

Although Boss Eden advocates flexible overtime for employees, it is also very flexible in tolerating employees' mistakes.

Be absolutely strict with yourself, and be relatively lenient with your employees.

Sometimes Eden is more human than the Inquisition.

Moreover, after serving in the Knights for two years, you can choose to return to the two academies of [Unknown Land] for further studies. During your studies, you can apply to become an official angel if you publish three journals (non-core) in Terran academic journals.

Of course, you don’t have to study, you can also become a regular by accumulating [Gospel Points].

As the products of the secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven, the positions of the Authority and the Knights are actually very awkward.

If the administration is like a large open court, where there are all kinds of religions and no distinctions, and whoever has a "human heart", it will accept all three religions and nine streams.

As for the Knights, they only accept children from good families and emphasize [human supremacy]. All people other than humans are classified into three, six or nine levels, and there is a greater hierarchy of hierarchy and different qualifications within them.

According to the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven, whether it is within the Kingdom of Heaven or in the secular world, the Administration is bound to be criticized.

As the second-in-command of the Administration, the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven was nicknamed by major darknet forums.

Those on the left directly scolded the Administration for being indifferent to people with hair and horns, and accepting all kinds of "livestock". Those on the right despised the left for not being fierce enough. Obviously, they have no regard for the kingdom of heaven. The reaction to transformation is also quite intense in this world, and it is in a bad way.

"understood."

Xia Xiu didn't say anything more. From Catherine Siena's expression, she knew the Knights' attitude towards the Administration.

For the Knights, the emergence of the Authority is like a revisionism to their doctrines. The good guys and the fake guys are two extreme groups.

Therefore, the establishment of the Management Bureau was not well received by people inside and outside. In addition, their second-in-command was an extremely ambitious guy who went wherever he wanted.

The situation of the Administration is even more embarrassing.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Administration Bureau, the fourth sword-wielding talent in the Kingdom of Heaven, as the second-in-command, will be assigned a large number of assignments by Boss Eden.

The purpose is to let him go outside to be quiet first, and then bring him back when the quarrel that should be made is over, and start taking over the management office.

The application for re-election of the resolution assembly was approved this year, and next year will be the beginning of the one-year preliminary candidate election.

As of January 3 next year, as long as the high-level angels who have been promoted to the upper third level have the right to be elected as members of the next resolution meeting.

The primary election of a year is the stage for accumulating political chips in the Kingdom of Heaven.

After that, it will take 1 to 2 years for a smooth transfer and transition of power. The specific situation will depend on the specific international environment.

To be honest, outsiders have always thought that some of the systems in heaven seem very weird.

From the perspective of the renewal of the resolution assembly, let’s call it democratic. The term of office of the members of each resolution assembly is not clearly defined. Unless the application for re-election is approved, the resolution assembly can always have the same group of people, and there are even more internal groups. There are a large number of smelly and hard-core diehards and old trends of thought, and the assembly has been implementing centralization of power and promoting absolute human supremacy authoritarianism.

Call it authoritarian. There are Eden and other core factions inside, and the thirteen resolution assembly members ensure internal diversity. The rebellion of 0-13 itself is a manifestation of diversity, because the Kingdom of Heaven is for idealists and fantasists. In a gathering place, rules and regulations restrict behavior, but do not restrict thoughts. The concept of 0-13 may not be wrong from the starting point, but the process of its implementation has led to consequential errors.

The Kingdom of Heaven cannot formulate ideological restrictions on the programs and demands shaped by idealists.

If this is really the case, what is the difference between them and exploitationists cloaked in a layer of idealism?

Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can only constantly revolutionize itself.

"I remember that the administrative headquarters in the secular world has not yet been determined. It seems to be waiting for me here..."

Xia Xiu glanced at the distant sea level and thought silently in his heart.

His eyes slowly turned to the windows of the plane. Through the transparent portholes, his perspective began to connect with the outside world.

The moonlight casts mottled silver ripples on the water, like countless diamonds shining in the night.

The ocean appears quiet and mysterious under the cover of night, seemingly hiding endless secrets.

At this moment, under the tranquil moonlight, the plane slowly climbed upwards, gradually moving away from the sea level, as if it was blending into the endless night sky.

The plane's engine roared steadily and powerfully, cutting through the quiet night and heading toward unknown heights.

Just as the plane merged into the night sky, a gorgeous [Rainbow Bridge] suddenly appeared among the stars above it.

This colorful rainbow bridge is like a dreamy strip of light, extending from one end to the other, connecting different spaces and times.

Various colors flash in the light strip, and each color is like a living light wave, dancing with an elegant melody.

That is the bridge descended from [the unknown place].

Under the guidance of the Rainbow Bridge, the plane began to fly in its direction.

As the plane approached the Rainbow Bridge, the surrounding space seemed to undergo subtle fluctuations.

Suddenly, a strange sound of spatial rotation sounded. Its sound was accompanied by a deep energy, as if a door to another world had been opened.

The plane followed the Rainbow Bridge and slowly entered the rotation of this space.

During this process, the scene around the fuselage began to change. The original starry sky and night gradually blurred, replaced by an indescribable interplay of light and shadow.

It is like a ship traveling between time and space, jumping towards an unknown new world.
