Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Sometimes he really couldn't figure out whether Helgi really cared about Luna now.

If he said he didn't care, he shouldn't have violated the rules and agreed to Luna's mother Ravni's request to use Ravni's overage service in the astronaut sequence in exchange for Luna's freedom from the astronaut sequence. If an astronaut who worked overage was investigated in depth in the outpost space station accident, this alone would cause Helgi to receive a serious punishment.

But if Helgi really cared, he would have pushed Luna to death step by step.

Perhaps, Helgi doesn't care about personal tears and glory at all. In the face of the life and death of his family, he can sacrifice anyone, including himself.

It's just unfortunately that now is the critical juncture of the family's survival, and Luna just happened to encounter the disaster of the times.

"Helgi, should we say that you are a cold-blooded war machine, or an excellent leader with so-called humanistic care?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't care. I just want the result and Abraham."

No matter what kind of questioning, no matter what kind of accusation, Helgi's eyes are so open and firm, and he always has a clear conscience.

"So Luna's sister is the one you called back, right?"

Vardas tutted.

Mia was originally trained as a reserve astronaut in the family like her sister Luna, and was engaged in technical work on the space station at the Wandering Technology Center. However, Mia is completely different from Luna in that she has a strong curiosity and desire to explore the starry sky, and has a great yearning for the work of an astronaut.

Fate is always dramatic. Before Mia really stepped into the starry sky, she fell in love with a noble Loen noble. After losing an astronaut candidate and getting a marriage with a marquis, Helgi finally persuaded the Elders to choose the latter.

It was also because of Mia's departure that when astronauts such as Ravni died, Luna became the first choice as a backup astronaut.

"Both are former reserve astronauts, both have technical backgrounds, and both meet the requirements of the Extraordinary Sequence. In comparison, the working Luna is indeed a better choice than Mia, who has been separated from Abraham for a long time.

“But Mia has a greater desire to explore and curiosity about the starry sky, and she is even more protective of her only sister, Luna.

“As long as we tell Mia that Luna is missing and the mission is urgent, she will definitely come back and ask to replace Luna to carry out the mission.

“And once Mia returns to Abraham, you can use Mia to force the escaped Luna to return to her post immediately.

“Mia or Luna, you give this murderous knife to Luna and let her choose it herself.

"Helgi, you have such a cruel heart!"

Helgi did not refute, tacitly acknowledging that this vicious plot came from his own hands. In the eyes of the entire Abraham, he was already a vicious ghost, and this little bit of fresh mud was not a problem.

"If you were in my position, you would make the same choice."

"..."

The creaking roar of the machine drilled into the ears of the two men, tearing at the suffocating silence. Finally, Vardas put away the small stool, walked forward and lay on the handrail of the platform with Helgi.

"I still can't understand why Luna ran away from Abraham. She has been blessed with spiritual and material prosperity in Abraham since she was a child. Now it's time for her to pay the price for it. This is her obligation."

This is a really complex and profound question. Helgi doesn't know how to condense those complex and profound words into a suitable answer. Vardas's talent is too high. He has been away from Abraham for too long and has lived for too long.

He was too far away from an ordinary Abrahamic person to understand what fate this generation of Abrahamic young people were worried about, and felt that they were just meaningless moaning. Just like Luna, who lived in an ivory tower, was too far away from the real civilians of Backlund and even the social drifters in the underground city, and could not understand their painful struggles at all, and could only vaguely experience unknown torture.

Luna was raised by Helgi, and even her mother Ravni was raised by Helgi. In fact, he knew the personalities of both mother and daughter very well.

In fact, these two days Helgi has been silently sighing, wondering why such a strong-willed Ravni has such a cowardly daughter like Luna. Could it be because Ravni has been flying around in the starry sky, leaving Luna to depend on her sister in fact?

But such thoughts are meaningless in the face of the great disaster ahead. Helgi must finally abandon all distractions and make the most rational decision. If they cannot survive this disaster, all of Abraham's children will have no future.

He closed his eyes, carefully recalling the lives of Luna and Raphne, and finally said only this sentence.

"Perhaps, even though she has reached this age, she is still a child whose parents have both passed away in her heart."

This remark startled Vardas and he looked at Helgi for a second longer.

"So you can still say such things?"

Not wanting to pay attention to such meaningless sentiments, nor wanting to make any efforts to improve himself in this direction, Helgi hoped that Valdas could provide some more practical information.

"Luna has already started emergency training before departure, and Mia is also doing rehabilitation training. What do you think of their current progress?"

"Yes, and only one."

Vardas raised a finger and waved it in front of Helgi's eyes.

"After seven days, the outpost must be launched. This is Abraham's bottom line."

"Seven days later..." Helgi closed his eyes, "That's Backlund's Winter Festival..."

"Oh? You actually care about this festival?" Valdas suddenly became curious.

"No, I just think that launching the space station on such an important holiday will undoubtedly add great difficulty to our operations."

"That's true, but unfortunately, time waits for no one, unless we can complete the preparations in advance and launch the outpost before Winter Ceremony Day. But you know, this is almost impossible."

Vardas shrugged and continued.

"Luna's current condition is not very good. I have found a 'psychologist' in the family to help Luna with counseling. Now her mental state is barely acceptable, but she is not familiar enough with the operation of the new equipment. We have to hurry up.

"Mia's situation is quite good, just keep it as it is. But if something happens to Mia, you will have to think carefully about how to explain it to a marquis."

As he spoke, Vardas pretended to check the time, revealing a gorgeous watch inlaid with sapphires, and raised his eyebrows.

"My time is almost up, Helgi."

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Vardas finally couldn't help it.

"I say, it's already the final moment, don't you really want to say something to me?

"Come on, Helgi, there are only two of us left in this generation, and you won't even say goodbye to me? That's not gentlemanly at all!"

"Goodbye? Why do you want to say goodbye? Valdas, this is just a mission. Don't make it seem like we'll never see each other again."

This seemed to reveal the last bit of secrecy between the two people, and the overpass fell into a long silence again, so long that neither of them was willing to break the solemn atmosphere.

Vardas glanced solemnly at his watch; his moment had come.

At the very end, a bony hand patted his shoulder.

“May the ancestors of Bethel and the angels of brightness watch over you, Vardas.

"Take care of yourself."
