Cold Star Blade

Since Battalion Commander Emiya's surname is Ling Jiuyi, it must be related to the Ling family.Melafion somehow understood why she didn't enjoy the glory and wealth even though she was the combination of the two great dignitaries. Instead, she worked as a coolie battalion commander in this remote fortress.

The Ling family is also one of the great nobles with more than five generations and more than a thousand years, but at the same time, they are the tragic victims of Emperor Dougalin's suppression of the rebel party.

The tragedy of this family may be the worst among the victims at that time.

The emperor had bestowed countless honors and favors on Ling's family, and his favor was extremely prosperous for a while, so when he turned his face and suppressed him, he was also extremely ruthless.Houses were ransacked, nobles were confiscated, and all honors were deprived. More than 30 members of the family were beheaded, and all servants and servants were buried alive.However, the Ling family has always belonged to the imperial faction, the Royal Wing Party and government are the main ones, and they don't have much to do with Marshal Dan. They chatted a few words at the social banquet, but they were secretly reported, and the case has not been reversed until now.

When the house was ransacked and the family was wiped out, the impact of the shock was astounding. Everyone with the surname Ling in the country changed their surname later and fled far away.The descendants of the Ling family dared not stay if they could escape. Those who did not escape, besides beheading directly, were tortured in prison to extract confessions and died of torture.

The most embarrassing thing is that the eldest son of their family, Ling Jiuyi, a famous general in the empire who enjoys the reputation of being a powerful frontier in all battles, died in the sun and pecked at the Bald Eagle Mountain in the end. .

The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.At that time, some people said that if the family has received boundless favor from the emperor and is full of reputation, prosperity will inevitably decline.

The circle of great nobles is just that big. When Melafion was born, although the bloody period when the emperor purged the rebel party had passed, she still heard about the tragic end of the family over and over again when she was a child.His father used the trend of enlightenment, embellished and exaggerated to tell him to warn him to be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise he might harm the whole family.Every time he listened to peeing at night, he trembled with fright, as if he saw the ghost of General Ling Jiuyi crying and wailing outside the window...

——That's why I read those fairy books about exorcising ghosts and evil spirits later.

"However, as long as she stays in the army, sooner or later she will be thrown into trouble. Why don't you retire when you're so frightened?" Melafion couldn't help asking, looking at the extremes of things.

Lorenzo said: "Her family's disaster was a sudden change. Before that, she had heard about the family's glory, and she had already made up her mind to make the family's glory a goal. She passed the junior reserve military academy and vowed to serve in the army all her life. Unexpectedly..."

"It's not that your master is acting as a demon," Melafion said sarcastically, "The order to seal the star and sickle, to rectify corruption, and to close down the private military camps of the great nobles, sounds like they are standing up for the people and eradicating tyranny. I have done nothing good! The cornerstone of the empire was built by the power of the surnames of the great nobles, don't your family know the story of the 'three families together'!"

"Three families go together" refers to the fact that Emperor Mishaer was a grassroots bandit back then, without a single soldier in his hands, let alone reputation and winning people's hearts.With no blood, and a generation of grass-shoes, with such conditions, it is impossible to rule the Milky Way.But the military adviser said to him: "Although you have no background to rely on, you can find them and gather them together. Those displaced people, you have seen so many, you should know what they need best." After the disintegration of the five fleets, many Clans raised their banners, but they were defeated one after another.The military adviser helped him find the descendants of the three noble families who had been displaced after the clan war, the Ling family, the Peter Pan family, and the Liu Fenglan family. Charles was able to ride the wind and waves, invincible.

This event is not circulated among the people, but it is only used as a lesson among the great nobles, so that the nobles can support the Diengrich royal family from generation to generation.

"This..." Lorenzo shrank his neck, "Although I don't know whether those things are caused by my father, but we have severed the relationship between father and son, don't blame me for our family's affairs ..."

Melafion thought to herself, I want to get angry with you, so why do I need to bring out the dirty things in your house?Then he said coldly: "The case of Ling's family is very difficult to vindicate. When I was working in the Internal Affairs Division, I checked the before and after information about their family's suppression. Someone in their family did vote for the alliance. In this way, the stigma of rebellion is certain. I can't wash it off."

Lorenzo sighed: "People from that kind of family are unwilling to give up any hope even if they know it is impossible. In theory, as long as she has been serving in the army, it is not impossible for her to rehabilitate the family. "

Melafion sneered: "Tch, if there is no one in the family, what's the use of redress."

Lorenzo nodded: "Well, in comparison, the Peter Pan family is much luckier."

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Melafion squinted at him a few times, and said with contempt: "Yes, some people were almost killed as traitors, and there are still people who can get them out. Slowly, Promoted to the cabinet."

Lorenzo looked at him wonderingly: "You...don't like Ellen so much?"

"Yes, there are two things I hate the most in this world. One is your Holder family, and the other is him. I hate him so much! The person I hate the most in the entire empire is him!"

I don't know if it was Ein Deming's eyes and ears listening to all directions, but the next day, because they had technical difficulties, he seemed to invite Ellen on purpose.

Ellen had a face that didn't smell a little bit of smoke and fire. When she came down to the fort maintenance room, she also changed into a uniform, her hair was tied high in a ponytail, and suddenly she seemed to be a little more friendly to the people.

He didn't talk much, he brought his optical brain over, sat among them, and started homework with astonishing speed.

Melafion felt that the place was a bit cramped, and said critically: "I don't usually feel that, Your Excellency, General, you seem quite fat!"

Ellen: "..."

Lorenzo: "..."

Lorenzo hurried over and whispered in Melafion's ear, "Stop talking nonsense. When Ellen was in the military academy, she had the lowest body fat test. In the army, there should be few people better than him..."

Melafion ignored it and said, "But didn't you see, he just takes up space!"

I thought Admiral Ellen would be taciturn, but he didn't want to speak up: "I don't have your tools to take up space."

This is to complain that Melafion and the Quartermaster have pitted a lot of maintenance tools, which are spread all over the floor, and they never know how to clean them up.

Lorenzo hurriedly said: "Let me take care of it, it should be more spacious."

Melafion took the opportunity to quickly dodge: "There can only be two people here at most, I'll go get some air!"

He was full of resentment, and he didn't like seeing anything, so he swayed slowly and blindly to a viewing platform.

Outside the glass window, the red flashing star is as gorgeous as a pink fireball, with four dragging slender tails, connected to each other, like blooming petals, magnificent and intoxicatingly beautiful.The stars are eclipsed around it.

Looking around, Melafion thought the place was quiet, so she picked up a bench and sat down, silently in a daze.

"As the saying goes, the enemy's road is narrow."

After a short period of silence, only a sarcasm was heard, and a person walked towards him, wearing a moon-white military uniform, elegant and elegant, with a gorgeous face, but there was a hint of soft melancholy in his complexion, his steps were very careless, his long hair was loosely tied like Ellen's usual A handful hung down on the shoulders, but the color was so golden that it dazzled the eyes.

"..."

Nowhere is really clean!Melafion couldn't help but turn her head and weep.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Ain Deming seemed to be curious, walked slowly, and sat down on the bench, shaking his military robe, his expression still so sleepy.

Melafion felt uncomfortable, but could only pretend to be calm: "Why is your Excellency wandering around alone again?"

Ein Deming said: "I often take walks alone..."

Melafion snorted, "What a coincidence, just at this time, I came here for a walk." He tapped his fingers on the handrail irritably.

I only heard Ain Deming's rare gentle and soft voice: "As long as I have time, I will come here to sit down... I just didn't expect that you are here. Are you lazy and slacking off at work? Although there is no salary for you in the first place."

Melafion shook her long legs, and said unkindly to the instigator, "There is only so little space in the workshop, I don't like to be crowded with people."

"...Hmph." Ein Deming looked at the starry sky, his pupils were different colors, and he looked extremely coquettish, hiding a secret that was kept secret, and suddenly said: "When people get together, they feel crowded and too noisy. I don't like each other, thinking why the other party doesn't want to die. But—" His voice gradually sank, "I really parted ways, and I feel too empty again."

"Huh?" Melafion was inexplicable, "Don't talk about the big truths of life, old man. I and those two are not in the same way, so why talk about parting ways."

Ein Deming didn't sit still, got up and walked far away, saying: "What the old man said is the lesson of history and blood. Don't wait until that person is really gone to remember him. Some people, after walking far, I can't wait to come back."

I don't know if he listened to Ein Deming's inexplicable words, and when he walked back to the fort maintenance room, he saw the clean and spacious maintenance platform, and Melafion was taken aback.

Lorenzo was still holding a toolbox in his arms that was about to be removed. He looked at him and said, "Are you back? Look, it won't look crowded now."

Melafion put her hands in her pockets and sat down cross-legged. The boss said unwillingly, "It's not about playing mahjong, three people are always a bit too much—"

Before he finished speaking, Ellen stood up holding his bare brain: "I'll go to the next space, so I won't squeeze with you two."

Lorenzo snorted and wanted to stop him: "There is something wrong with the network cable in the lower grid, it can't be used! Ellen, wait a minute—" This guy was always clumsy in the eyes of Melafion, and he was trying to catch up. When Ellen was walking, her feet were accidentally tripped by the wires.

For a split second, Melafion's blood was stagnant, his scalp was cold, but he opened his mouth but had no time to shout out, so he quickly stretched out his hand and rushed forward.This second was like in a dream, he could barely catch a corner of his clothes, but he couldn't catch it when he grabbed it suddenly, his heart was in his throat, and he hurriedly folded his hands to hug his waist, and then managed to get him off the platform in a very dangerous way. The edge tugs back.

Lorenzo: "..."

Melafion felt his legs were weak, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands, and didn't dare to take a breath. He grabbed the iron railing next to him with one hand, and tightened Lorenzo's waist with the other hand, sweating profusely, and cursed: "You Can you be more stupid! This place is 140 meters above the ground! If you go down, you will fall into a puddle of meatloaf, you know!"

Lorenzo: "...it hurts...you...you...made my chest hurt, I couldn't breathe..."

"Still moving around! Do you want to go on like this!"

"Ah, I'm really going to fall! Ellen! Ellen! Pull us back!"

With one hand in each hand, Ellen pulled the two of them back.

Lorenzo turned around and supported his forehead, lowered his head and buried his face: "My God, I have been a little afraid of heights since I was a child, and I just fainted, it scared me to death..."

Melafion was buried by his shoulders, momentarily stiff as a stake, not knowing what to do.I can only think about it, I'm afraid I'm still in shock, my brain lacks oxygen, and my body is out of control...

Ellen was silent for a second, and said, "Take good care of him, and don't let him do stupid things again."

In his arms, Lorenzo was still moaning and groaning: "No, dizzy, so dizzy...the floor is still turning, hold me tight, don't let go, I'm still...dizzy..."

"..." What was Melafion thinking, why was something wrong, and he gritted his teeth angrily, "That's enough, I probably have a little fever today, don't torment me anymore!"

The evil is the evil, but in the maintenance work in the future, Melafion will no longer put on a bad face all day long, as if someone owes him 100 million.

The Wall of Asura of the Six Eyes was first built in the hands of Marshal Danteria. The Dragon Throat Fortress is not only the gateway for the alliance to enter the hinterland of the empire, but also the entrance for the Beidou Alliance Principality, which survived from the five major alliance fleets, to endanger the empire again.So this place fought countless battles, until Marshal Danteria and Galanasa built the Asura Wall here.

Then after the alliance split, the empire realized that this place might become a loophole that the alliance could take advantage of, so it wanted to reset the Asura Wall of the Six Eyes. As a result, the AI ​​masters who came to provide technical support discovered that they were very serious about Dantley. The system built by Marshal Ya is helpless.

Of course they thought of asking Prime Minister Gelanasa for help. The prime minister drove over, took a look, and said: "Sorry, I have had amnestics removed, and this part of the memory is gone. I can't do anything. However, I want to remind you Take a moment, the self-destruction program of this system is quite sophisticated and almost impeccable, if you force it, it is very likely that the self-destruction program will be activated, and this self-destruction program will instantly turn the entire fortress into a grave."

The technicians who were struck by lightning hurriedly withdrew, and the Asura Wall has been used so far, and it has caused the Alliance to conquer it four times and suffered a lot.

Now, one of the "Sura Eyes" is broken, and even with all the technicians stationed in the fortress, it is still very difficult to repair it.Lorenzo originally belonged to the artillery regiment of the Fleet stationed in the fortress, and was also temporarily pulled to fight the fire.

Melafion couldn't believe that he knew some AI technology, and when she couldn't keep her mouth shut, she still satirized him: "Are you really here to fight the fire, not to cause trouble?"

Lorenzo laughed unhappily. Unexpectedly, when he smiled, he glanced at the gloomy eyes, and there was a beauty of blooming flowers between his brows and eyes, which was so beautiful that people couldn't turn their eyes away: "I used to be Ellen's classmate, That's naturally the AI ​​security department... Although the academic performance is poor, the AI ​​security department of the Royal Military Academy is the most difficult to get into in the entire empire..."

While making the optical brain data connection, Melafion still taunted in disbelief: "I think you got in through the back door through your father's relationship."

"Of course I got in! My father never liked me, and I don't want to rely on him..." Lorenzo smiled wryly, a little shy and unwilling.But ever since he decided not to back down, whenever he wanted to back down, he would struggle to take a step forward again, so he said, "If you don't believe me, I'll give you a chance to adjust your mech later. Your mecha Ragnarok, I think..."

"Forget it! Don't rush to prove yourself to me," Melafion said, "No matter how you prove it, I won't recognize you as a person."

Lorenzo occasionally has a sense of humor. He has a soft temper and doesn't take it too seriously when he is looked down upon. Instead, he put on a submissive look, smiled slightly, and said, "Oh, you are afraid that I will rape|rape your mech Is it? My hand is very steady and gentle, don’t be afraid..."

Maybe it was because he deliberately matched that tone of voice, and Melafion's goosebumps immediately rose: "Get out! Stay away from me! No wonder you were able to be a bed warmer for 20 years, you're so stupid!"

"..." Lorenzo quickly changed his tone: "Sorry, did I scare you? I was just joking..."

"Your face, coupled with your lowly personality, is really a man's favorite material! What kind of soldier, you just want to hug Kisialian's thigh, don't you! It's disgusting!"

"I do not have……"

Lorenzo's imposing manner suddenly weakened again, he turned his face away, his eyes were dazed but melancholy, and his lips were bitten almost to the point of blood.

Although in just one year, he can become the commander of the artillery regiment, and the fleet artillery regiment is a first-class technical soldier, it can be seen that Lorenzo is not an embroidered pillow, and his strength should not be underestimated.But if he felt that he had to hug a thigh to survive, Melafion would still look down on him.

"Um……?"

Leaving the cockroach dropping Lorenzo aside, Melafion continued to concentrate on her work.Everyone has contradictions. Although he has a bit of a temper, he is technically excellent. The inspection system makes mistakes and omits a good player. The people in the technical camp hate and depend on him.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, the most obvious thing was that after he joined, everyone felt much more relaxed.In particular, he is not afraid of dirty or smelly, he can crawl in and inspect the pipes that are full of old dirt clogged without hesitation. Before he came, only Lorenzo was willing to do this.

Although the two are at odds with each other, there is no sloppy where they should cooperate.

Melafion never complained about the workload, and he would work diligently no matter what work was given to him.Moreover, he is a person who is quite easy to get into things. Even though he keeps talking about the task of repairing the Shurayan fort, he seems to be enjoying himself in action, forgetting to eat and sleep, and seems to be more devoted than a professional technician.

After he got into the turret hangar, he never left. When he was tired, he rolled up a blanket and slept on the maintenance rack.Head to head or foot to foot with Lorenzo.

Alphas are born with strong bodies, and they never worry about such trivial things as being tired and getting sick.When you are really unwell, take some vitamin pills to deal with it.If you act weak, you will be laughed at like an Omega, which is really a shame for an Alpha with super self-esteem!

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Melafion suddenly picked up a wrench and threw it towards Lorenzo, saying: "Hey, get up! Go and call Ellen! Although I really don't want to admit his authority on AI security, but I'm afraid that if he can't solve this problem, no one here can solve it."

Lorenzo crawled out of the sleeping bag while supporting his head that was sore from the blow, and with a bit of waking up, he couldn't help muttering sleepily: "Can't you wake me up well, my head has already been smashed by you It's..."

Melafion stretched his legs and kicked his ass again: "Don't be so wordy, go and call someone! This is a matter of race against time, it's late, something went wrong, can you take care of it!"

Lorenzo seemed to understand that it might be related to the turret system, and the situation was not simple, so he didn't dare to neglect: "Understood, I'll ask the commander for instructions right away!"

Ellen was on the battleship, and although Ein Deming provided supplies, he still ordered them to stay only ten kilometers away from the fortress.Calling Ellen to the fortress would naturally require Ein Deming's approval.

Melafion felt that Lorenzo was slowing down, and urged in a rough voice: "Hurry up! Otherwise, it explodes suddenly, I don't know what will happen."

"..." Lorenzo didn't leave, only heard footsteps approaching behind him, and grabbed Melafion with one hand, "Go, I'll stay here."

Melafion turned back and smiled, and that smile was reflected on his flamboyant facial features, revealing an inexplicable hatred.

He didn't answer, but took out a cigarette case from his pocket.The cigarette case was covered with burnt black marks, he held it carefully, shook out one in the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head to light it.

Sparks reflected in his bright and piercing eyes, red as bright as his hair.

"Let me tell you, I've been addicted to smoking since I was a teenager, but I can't smoke when I'm in the armor."

The jungle beast blew itself up without completely burning the driver's body.He took back Sherry's body, accidentally found the cigarette case from him, and suddenly realized that Sherry lied to him by claiming that he never smoked?

It's a pity that we can no longer ask the dead for answers.He kept this pack of cigarettes and carried it with him all the time, but he never figured out why Sherry had this pack of cigarettes on him.

"...In order to force myself to quit smoking, I simply do not carry cigarettes with me, but when I am most irritable, I especially want to take a few puffs. Whether I have quit smoking, or I am addicted to it or not. This pack of cigarettes is carried by a friend of mine. Yes, there are only five left in total. So, even if I want to take two puffs, I try my best to hold back, and at the same time, I feel a sense of comfort when I carry it.”

Melafion looked like an old smoker, and he smoked half of it in a few puffs.He held it in his hand, flicked the soot, and said with a bright smile: "This smell is so nostalgic... You go, don't mess with me. The nerve cord can't be pulled out now, and the person who implanted the virus It is deliberately set that once the linker's mental threshold exceeds the value set by him, and a certain checking program is activated, the timer will be triggered. If it is disconnected, it will immediately explode... I am waiting for you here. If he is with me, I will enough."

Lorenzo snatched Melafion's optical brain: "I'll try to see if I can use a program command to stop the timer, or set it to a virtual connection state..."

"It's useless, I've tried everything." Melafion pushed Lorenzo away, "Get away from me now, don't waste time! Let everyone here evacuate first! Also, tell Ellen , Be careful this time the alliance general, I am afraid he is a very powerful opponent. You don't know..."

His pupils shone brightly, and a cold smile flashed across his face.

"This fortress is already in his pocket!"
