black queen hypothesis

The so-called last question was about how Vilas escaped from the pirate's territory.To break through the siege and the vast star field, just rely on a guide?

Of course Norma cared about that.Because if this is true, it means that the wizard can also reach the limit that Norma thinks only the Dark Sentinel can reach; and if it is false, it is either because the Empire and the Federation are acting together, or because Smitz is beating his own little one. Abacus, the possibility of the latter is far greater than the former...

But the scheming Governor Jiant did not show any doubts, and the aura of the superior was steady and unmoved.

What Smits hated most was this condescending attitude—Norma treated him as if he were treating a robot of his own making, and the title was just an appearance.But like his adoptive father, he has long since ceased to be a moody person. "A part," he said, tapping the armrest with his slender knuckles. "What more details do you need?"

"Everything in this matter." Norma didn't intend to hide her intentions.

"Okay," Smits nodded, a little lazy, "if you want to listen to me for yourself... Our dear emperor stole a little neutralizing agent and ran away." He spread his hands, "You I know that a guide like His Majesty will be invincible after receiving the neutralizing agent."

Norma pursed her lips.This is not much different from the version he heard before, and he doesn't care where Vilas stole the neutralizer from, but... "I'll ask you one last time," he said, with an emotionless tone, "Your Majesty A man has escaped from you?" He puts the less pronounced emphasis on "a man."

This may mean that the pirates' defenses are vulnerable, or it may mean that Norma suspects help.Smits pondered the difference between the two reasons, and said slowly: "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I let His Majesty go?"

Norma was still sitting upright, but he suddenly smiled. "It's absolutely impossible."

Smits wished he hadn't smiled, because a rigid face only had the effect of horror.

"Although I gave you Compo," Norma continued, "I know you never liked a guide like him."

Since entering the door, Smitz's heart skipped a beat.What does it mean?You know he doesn't like it, so give it to him?Could it be that Norma planted other eyeliners beside him?

Norma seemed completely unaware of this subtle psychological change. "A guide can't satisfy your appetite, can it?"

That's true... Smits didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief.He neither nodded nor shook his head, and remained silent for a while.The intuition of danger reminded him not to continue to lie, at least not to tell outright lies. "Your Majesty has responded." He shook off half of the facts, but he couldn't say that there was no temptation, and he wasn't so lazy anymore.

"Oh?" Norma didn't have any special reaction, "Who is it?"

It is obviously too late to say that he saw the Athena dedicated to the Federation President.Smits simply put out the second set of arguments he had in mind: "I didn't know at the time. But then, I went to the Federal History Museum in Capitol."

Norma knew about the unsuccessful operation, her eyes were calm and unwavering.

"I ran into four super S-class sentries there." Smitz could only continue, while carefully trying to figure out Norma's expression, wondering how much he should reveal, "but I escaped in the end."

Norma is unmoved by the great danger involved. "Tell me something I don't know."

Knowing the Governor's cold blood, Smitz was not surprised that the other party would say that. "Because I used a pheromone bomb, a brand new one."

The news made Norma finally react—the corners of his straight mouth suddenly curved slightly. "That's why you left successfully?"

Smits nodded.

Perhaps what Norma wanted to hear most was this conclusion. "None of them can resist that smell, which means that none of them can resist His Majesty. A few members of the Anubis guard will be fine, but the last one..."

Silvio Alva, the youngest president of the Federation and the most powerful sentinel of the Federation, has also surrendered to instinct.

So the federation let go of the potential huge threat, so Vilas escaped from the pirate star field with the help of Silvio, so—whether public or private, the most likely marriage partner of the new emperor of the empire is the federation president!

His conjecture was verified.It's the worst in one way and the best in another.

Seeing Norma lost in thought, Smitz was truly relieved.Although Norma's thoughts are elusive, since he called the other party "Father", he understands somewhat——

The bad thing is of course the combination of the two threats; the good thing is that, as high-level sentinel guides, the combination forces them to give up their original greatest advantage.

Considering that Norma did not give the empire and the Federation a reason to send troops at the same time, this matter is actually good news for Norma.

"May I assume that you are fully aware of the matter?" Smits asked softly, carefully suppressing his eagerness to return.

Norma shook her head. "I believe that the only person who fully understands is the person concerned."

Smits had heard the argument.Norma is a very practical individualist; to put it bluntly, the only person he really believes in is himself. "So……"

"As a reward, I have prepared a new guide for you." Norma stood up, a strange smile suddenly climbed onto his cheeks, "He is waiting in your room."

No matter how arrogant Smits was, he read what was hidden in his smile.Absolutely no good... "Thank you very much," he said, standing up too, "but this is what I have to do."

Norma raised her eyebrows slightly. "You do not want?"

"I..." Smits wanted to say something, but suddenly fell to the ground without warning.

Norma was not surprised by this.He walked over, bent over and uncovered the golden thread and black background, revealing a long blue and black ugly scar under his eyes.At this moment, it was trembling slightly, as if there was something alive inside. "Disappointing, Ethilio," he sighed, running his fingers over the scar, "you're still mine."

The words are soft and the actions are gentle, but the content is horrifying.But Smitz didn't seem to hear anything, and his light golden pupils stared at the ceiling absently.

Norma's fingers fell along the scar to the sideburns, and then slid down the chin until it stopped above the Adam's apple. "Let Kang Bo come in." He straightened up and ordered.

The guide who was called arrived soon.Smitz's seemingly unrepentant appearance startled him a lot, and the panic was clearly written on his face.

Norma knew it would be like this. "Take him back to the room."

This is not to die... Kang Bo followed his advice tremblingly.He didn't know why Smitz suddenly turned into the appearance of a living dead, but just now he realized very slowly that to cultivate a ruthless pirate leader, Governor Giant's methods could only be worse.

Watching the two leave, Norma stood in the living room for a while.He had his hands behind his back, his eyes seemed to be looking at something, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything.

"Anomalies have been detected in the information point data stream, Your Excellency."

An ethereal voice pulled Norma back from her contemplation. "abnormal?"

"A blank that lasted half a millisecond." The voice replied, not sure, "It may be some kind of electromagnetic interference, or it may be the time difference between the sending and receiving of the instrument."

Norma frowned slightly.He thought of the enthronement ceremony that had just ended, and the new emperor who was most likely bound, and suddenly laughed happily. "It seems His Majesty values ​​us more than I thought."

"With all due respect, Your Excellency, this does not seem to be news worth celebrating." The voice disapproved.

"A game without an opponent is extremely boring." Norma smiled and shook her head, "However, His Majesty not only noticed it, but also took action... This matter is becoming more and more interesting."

"Perhaps in a while, I'll agree with you. But not now—" The ethereal voice was less ethereal now, with a slight annoyance, "We're not quite ready yet."

Norma was still smiling. "Oh, I believe that's why His Majesty took action." He tilted his head slightly, "How can we disappoint him?"

The voice paused for a moment. "Do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Always." Norma promised, followed by a series of instructions: "Isolate the freezer, close all star bridges. Finally," he hooked his lips, "raise the galaxy barrier."

At the same time, Vilas was listening to the battle report from the front. "...The first team of the zero group has sneaked into the work area; the second team of the zero group is approaching the main brain area; one group has taken over the various information sending and receiving points and the entrance and exit of the star bridge..."

A sharp siren sounded suddenly.Vilas was taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw that all the star bridges that shone green light outside the portholes were dimmed; behind them, a huge energy network that was like broken stars and shone blue light was slowly emerging from nothingness. appear.

To be honest, this picture is quite beautiful, but Vilas' pupils shrank sharply. "Oops, Norma blocked Senta and the galaxy space teleportation!"

——This is actually a catch-and-catch situation!
