Please abide by the Basic Law

Chapter 239 Choice

In an emergency, Langdon was still in the mood to observe and observe: Is it better to slap the left or the right?

It must not be too strong. If you accidentally slap your dear head off, it’s not good. It’s not good to hurt your muscles and bones. The face must be unbearable, after all, this face is quite cute, and the facial features cannot be touched, accidents are easy to happen, and magic can't cure it.

After much deliberation, Langdon spread his right hand and gently slapped Cecil's fleshiest part of his face. The moment he touched the skin, he felt that his palm was full of bones, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. These inventions of the Middle Kingdom Cecil will not let others do it, the God of Civilization can only guide, and staying up all night working hard with researchers is quite exhausting.

"You still feel sorry for me while slapping me?" Cecil covered his numb face dissatisfiedly, "Then you change the method!"

"I can't think of it." Langdon said seriously. "Actually, I'm going to try this method. If it doesn't work, I have to find another way."

As soon as this Cecil was mentioned, he shrank. To be honest, he didn't notice it at all. He didn't know what was affected by the law. Fortunately, he claimed to have insight into the true meaning of the law. He didn't expect that the biggest "insider" was him. Well, think about it, Alexander is not a weak character or a person who has no opinions, he has been recruited, and he doesn't have the capital to be superior to others...

After the first slap in the face, Cecil was still struggling to rush forward to pinch Langdon's neck, with a ferocious expression and bared teeth.

"Actually, I think it's quite cute." Langdon showed a gentleman's warm smile.

Cecil's expression was a little distorted, and after thinking about it, if his adopted master rushed up and scratched and scratched him, probably...maybe...maybe he would find it cute...huh?

After the second slap, Cecil couldn't take it anymore, and Langdon's strength was not ordinary. Besides, he stayed up for several nights like a demon at that time, and he was already in a sub-healthy state. A lot of confusion has faded away, but I still can't figure out the situation.

"Anyway, I didn't like you at the time." Cecil recalled carefully, "I just wanted to kill you."

"It's a good thing you can't kill me." Langdon touched Cecil's cheek with a smile, "Do you want more ice?"

"Yes, hiss—" Cecil grinned. Langdon's strength is really beyond average, and the right half of his face started to burn. "By the way, when do you think I should have been recruited?"

"When you want to make trains wholeheartedly." Langdon quickly found the answer, "At that time, you said that as long as you make trains, something big will happen, and you just said that you should separate... magic and science. "

As soon as this was mentioned, Cecil's self-pity disappeared. It doesn't matter if the laws of magic and science are separated. The problem is that the planet under our feet is also separated. What about the people on it? ?

"Do you find something strange?" Cecil asked.

Langdon and Cecil have been together for a long time, Wen Xiange knew the elegance, raised his eyebrows and said: "You mean those 'old men' and 'old ladies', right?"

"Hmm." Cecil snorted.

If you want to find the "old ladies" and "grandfathers" of this civilization, go directly to the conference room in the Middle Kingdom. If you can't find them there, unless the gods of civilization show up, mortals are hopeless.Cecil and Langdon pushed open the door of the conference room, and immediately found that the scene in the room was different: there was no change, it was the original conference room, without beach, sea water, or any entertainment.

This is prepared!

Cecil sneered, and wanted to find a chair to sit down. A group of gods sat and he stood like a grandson listening to the training. Unexpectedly, after a few steps, all the chairs by the table were taken, and there were no more ones. Now, he couldn't help but get a little angry: "You gods, it's okay to cheat others, even me, and unfortunately I still call you old men! Shameless!"

There was a sound of coughing, and the god of agriculture coughed the most, like tuberculosis. After coughing, he calmly said: "This is something that everyone doesn't want..."

"Why don't you want to, you know everything and hide it from me!" Cecil was furious, "Are you planning to drag the whole world to die?!" When he was talking about this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "What are you going to do?" Wouldn’t the body I made be for this? Let me be controlled by the laws of science without knowing it?”

A group of gods of civilization lowered their heads and raised their heads. It seemed that there were a lot of interesting things suddenly appearing on the ceiling and the floor. This attitude basically showed the truth.

Cecil was relieved for a while, at least these ancestors haven't concealed it, or are they too lazy to hide it?Thinking of this, his heart rose again, and he said solemnly, "I want an explanation."

"We really want the laws of science to win." The God of Tea hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, "You can understand this, right?"

"What I don't understand is that you allow this planet to be destroyed. What good does it do you if we die?" Cecil's smile disappeared.

"That's the problem. What we thought was that the laws of science turned himself into a landlord, but we didn't expect this guy to run away from home and go wandering." Saturn pinched the bridge of his nose, with the classic expression of an old man looking at his phone, "We really didn't expect that That's what it thinks, if it knows how it is possible to let things go this way? It's full! Just like you said, if you have an accident, we can't run away!"

This logic makes sense, and Cecil secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At least the suspicion of the God of Civilization has been ruled out. If his own God of Civilization also becomes an enemy, then he really doesn't know what to do.

"Wait a minute, are you letting things develop? Not pushing them?" Cecil asked suspiciously.

"Even if we want to push, we don't know which direction to push." ​​Zhishen said weakly, "We have emphasized many times that the law has no emotional intelligence, only the basic law expression, and it is impossible to communicate. Which way to push it? However, we did notice a change in you, and we have to apologize to you for that, sorry."

A group of civilization gods apologized one after another. When it comes to this matter, Cecil can't care about it anymore.

The old man Great Wall sighed: "Don't talk about anything else, what can we do now? If these two laws are separated, this planet will definitely not survive?"

"We haven't seen them in their original form..." Saturn said while looking at Cecil.

Cecil also only saw it once in that wonderful state of neither life nor death, and recalled it for a long time, saying: "The planet that crashed into it, I feel like that kind of asteroid or something, anyway, there is absolutely no atmosphere. , I don’t know if the original planet existed, and it doesn’t look like it has life.”

There was a sound of loose chairs and sighs, and the meeting room was full of depression for a while.

The God of Tea asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Me?" Cecil said inexplicably, "It's okay, I don't feel anything."

The God of Tea continued to ask: "Do you still want to destroy magic?"

This sentence lit up Cecil's inspiration, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Magic wants to hit me from the beginning to the end, okay? I never deliberately suppressed magic to suppress it, it was just for survival!"

The original intention of everything is just for running water, gas stoves and flush toilets. Human beings are really simple creatures.

Since I am like this, is it the same on the other side?

A glimmer of hope ignited in Cecil's heart: "How deeply is Alexander affected?"

"At least Alexander didn't have the tendency to start such a large-scale battle before." Langdon, who had been acting as the background board, said, "Now, he not only directly attacks Brinker, but also fights head-on, which is inconsistent with his previous style. He It’s the kind of rhetoric. In actual practice, things are not guaranteed to win, and they always like to stay behind. This is the first time for him to lose at Brinkle Railway Station. Tifa told me, Don't think that Alexander is the kind of simple-minded and muscular reckless person, after all, he was not originally a prince candidate."

Langdon was right. In the royal palace of Rhett, the capital of Lochere, Alexander, who sat on the throne, was silent for a long time after learning of the defeat at the Brinkle Railway Station. When he spoke again, his tone seemed frosty: "Since In this way, the only way to go is to increase troops.”

The ministers and generals all showed shocked expressions. According to their thoughts and understanding of Alexander, at this time they should shrink the line of defense, consolidate the captured Brinker, appease the country, and inquire about the news. This failure can be said to be endless. They were defeated without knowing what happened, and now there is only one news of "defeat and evacuation", and they don't know exactly how they were defeated. At this time, they are inexplicably increasing their troops?

"Your Majesty, please..."

"Shut up!" Alexander mercilessly interrupted the old minister's suggestion. On the surface, it is like this, "I will do what I say, the evil in the east cannot be let go, and must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

The ministers and the generals looked at each other, and they all noticed the abnormality of His Majesty the King. It was just that Alexander had always been a wise monarch. At that time, he had a very strong control over the country and his subjects. Even if they noticed the abnormality, they could not do anything about it.

After stepping out of the conference hall, several senior ministers with good relations sighed, "It would be great if Mr. Baker was still around."

"Yes, that is indeed a royal cavalry who can influence His Majesty."

"Unfortunately, he died young."

"Speaking of which, what happened to the Gay Knights recently? I heard that the royal knights from several countries suddenly withdrew. Did something happen in their group?"

"No, my contact here is normal."

"Recently, the world is really changing, and the east side is not peaceful, alas..."

Tifa, who was far away in Moon City, sneezed several times, and asked doubtfully, "Did you catch a cold in the hot weather? I wonder if I can find a handsome and honest young man to treat me?"

"I think you're itchy." Jory said angrily, glanced at the pendant on Tifa's chest, and said, "You haven't found Wagner's body yet?"

"Didn't the Gay Knights shrink in scope recently?" Tifa said, "There are a lot fewer dead people, if there is no suitable one, let him sleep, anyway, I don't feel it in the soul gem."

"What about the lava front?" Jory asked.

"Don't you know?" Oakes interjected, "The lava front is closed."

"Huh?" Tifa's eyes widened. "Why is the lava front closed? That place is not a business."

"I don't know. I heard from my colleagues at the lava front that the gap where the monster appeared suddenly disappeared, as if it was blocked by some kind of force." Oakes expressed a puzzled expression, "There are still some people left. Guards, but the army finally got a chance to rest. People from other countries have been rotated, and some countries have evacuated directly. The people in Tanbuni Tower are in a dilemma, and the country is gone. The Lava Front Command said that Tambuni It has been a long time since the tower has delivered the supplies that should be paid, and it can only guarantee the board and lodging of these people, and they still contact me, wanting to come to the Middle Kingdom to work."

"Very good, come on, but there have been a lot of accidents in the country and civilization recently, it is quite appropriate for the lava front to be closed at this time."

A group of king riders discussed a few words about the sudden closure of the lava front, and agreed that it had something to do with the rise of the Luofeng Mountains, but they couldn't get a clue after discussing it.

"Speaking of which, what did Cecil ask us to do?" Oakes asked.

"You, at least respect him." Russell said helplessly, "He is a qualified ruler."

Oakes curled his lips and said, "Don't you think that if you respect him too much, it's like alienating each other? We fought together with him, and this country and civilization belong to us, and I still miss him. In the past, he didn't know anything and acted like a fool who knew how to rape Langdon all day long, and he looked like he had a heart but no guts."

The laughter continued until they entered the conference room. After Cecil finished talking about the current situation, the royal knights couldn't laugh for a moment.

"Are you kidding me?" Oakes had an unbelievable expression on his face, "What does it mean to be split in two?"

"The Luofeng Mountains keep going up, won't they split the land in two?" Cecil said, "I contacted Burton, and the left-behind personnel of Wuming Island observed the bottom of the sea, and there were also things rising up there. The location is exactly in line with the Luofeng Mountains, um, you see, it's like taking the sausage out of the bread..."

The new food trend in Yuecheng is bakery. Thanks to the well-developed animal husbandry, there are many kinds of dairy products in various ways. Cream cake is a trifle. Now the most popular one is fondant cake, which wins purely because of its appearance.

Cecil bought a plain two-slice piece of bread with sausage in it, and when the sausage was pulled out, the bread fell apart.

"The original planet wasn't divided into two halves, was it? Otherwise, how would the people on it live?" Tifa asked.

"How do I know? I don't have any previous records, and I just glanced at it. I was in an abnormal state at that time." Cecil said angrily, "But I know that if we are divided into two halves, we will definitely not survive."

"Not necessarily, everything is speculation now." Jory, who was usually lazy, became more serious and talked more.

"Then do you dare to bet that this guess is true?" Langdon asked.

Jory stopped talking, and no one said anything. After all, no one dared to gamble on this kind of thing. There is no benefit in winning, and nothing is lost in losing.A group of people sat in the conference room with sad faces, including the God of Civilization, and gathered almost all the high-level officials in the Middle Kingdom. Half a day passed without a sound.

"What do the local civilization gods think?" Paper God asked suddenly.

The status of several gods of civilization in Tambunita is not high, including Lord, the god of knowledge, but no one makes a sound, as if they have fallen into a quagmire of silence.They didn't speak, Cecil didn't speak, neither did the Chinese civilization gods, and everyone kept silent as if they were competing.

"Actually, if you want to know these two laws, there is indeed a suitable candidate." Finally, Lord said, "It's just...it's not easy to find."

The wrinkles on Saturn's face deepened, and he sighed: "Isn't it the god of magic?"

Cecil suddenly realized, yes, the god of magic is the accidental "illegitimate child" of the laws of magic and the laws of science.

"In this way, why did the law of magic incite those mages to eat the god of magic?" Langdon's question was everyone's question.

"What if it's not the law of magic?" Cecil guessed, "There is another possibility. The law of magic doesn't actually want mages to eat the god of magic. The mages got it wrong."

"The God of Magic is not dead, right? Then how do we bring him back to life?" Tifa asked a key question, he paused for a moment, his face was a little bad, "You won't go to the stomachs of those mages, will you?"

As soon as this sentence was said, the civilization gods didn't feel much, but the mortals couldn't bear it.

"Can't one piece be missing?" Langdon, who is the most knowledgeable, also hesitated, "Can't we put together the main body, and the rest will be resurrected automatically? Speaking of which, it would be very easy for the god of magic to be devoured if he didn't attack the mortals." That's not normal, can the flesh and blood of a civilization god be eaten like this?"

"It stands to reason that it is impossible." The God of Agriculture took out a cigarette, which was produced in Yuecheng, and as soon as he held it in his hand, the God of Tea snatched it away and got a stare. He rubbed it with some embarrassment Thigh, said, "It is estimated that the law has done something wrong, anyway, it is impossible for mortals to do such a thing."

"So, don't take chances, go dig out the intestines one by one." Tifa gloated.

A sigh sounded, and Cecil looked at the Great Wall old man with a tangled expression: "Old man..."

"Okay, okay." Old Man Changcheng said irritably, "Let's take care of this matter for you, and treat it as our apology to you. We are also responsible for making it so urgent."

The gods of Chinese civilization lowered their heads one after another. When it comes to the level of the god of civilization, the old man Great Wall has indeed dropped a lot, but his seniority is still there, and his speech is also reasonable. It seems that he still has a certain status.

"There is another urgent matter." Langdon said suddenly, "My dear is awake, isn't Alexander awake? Then, can anyone in Losher stop him from launching a war?"

Tifa smiled wryly: "Impossible, no one in Luoxie's current system can stop Alexander."

"Can you see that something is wrong with Alexander?" Langdon pressed.

"Yes, but it's useless, who can stop him?" Tifa said, "It's not like he's going to burn Losher, what he's doing... is barely normal, right?"

Multiple sighs sounded again.

"Then our battle...will we fight?"

Cecil is a bit entangled, let's fight, not reconciled, sacrificing human life in vain, a society that could have developed further, it is impossible not to fight, can't be beaten in vain, right?

"Besides, I don't think Alexander will be willing to win one game or two." Tifa frowned, "It must be to destroy the Middle Kingdom, and you will definitely not be able to escape."

Receiving Tifa's gaze, Cecil looked up to the sky, and said helplessly, "I said, would it be effective if you slapped Alexander a few times?"

Langdon glared at Cecil: "The law of magic should have a deeper control over Alexander."

"Speaking of which, why doesn't it control you?" Cecil asked suspiciously, "You should be the current leader in the magic world, right? It protects you unprincipled."

Langdon pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, I'll go to Lochere to see Alexander."

Cecil was startled, then slapped the table and said loudly: "No, it's too dangerous!"

"It's not dangerous for me to go alone." Langdon laughed.

This made Cecil choke, and then he said more forcefully: "No, no, if you go, I, what if I have any problems here?"

"Russell, take some time to look at His Majesty more, if there is anything wrong, take a few slaps." Langdon turned his head and said to the proud student.

Russell said with a displeased face: "Why did you ask me to do this job? I'm very busy!"

Langdon looked at Oakes, causing the guy to yell: "Do you know how long I have been working overtime in the research center? Don't do it, I don't have time to keep an eye on him!"

Langdon looked at them one by one, and the royal knights refused one after another. It is not easy to work with His Majesty the King for 24 hours, and the king has a master, who is a particularly difficult person and even a teacher. Who would like to watch? "Teacher's wife" dislikes the work of "boss"!

The job of "slapping the boss" was pushed left and right until Cecil roared with a dark face, "You guys are done!" He looked at Langdon viciously, "There is no need to do it for the slightest possibility." If you take this risk, you can wake me up because of our special relationship, I don’t believe in the temptation of the law to wake me up with just a few slaps!”

Langdon pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, then, if you go with me, Tifa, it should be of some use."

Tifa's perfectly controlled smile cracked, and she turned her eyes stiffly to Cecil.

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Cecil was interrupted by Langdon before he finished speaking: "My dear, this is a risk that must be taken. There are no other suitable candidates except me and Tifa. It is impossible to expect the Rochers to notice it. .”

Langdon's expression was very serious, and it took Cecil a while to force out his voice: "Can't the God of Civilization go?"

"The goal is too big." Saturn shook his head. "The law will also pay attention to us. I am afraid that it will cause further stress reactions. I don't know what will happen."

At this point, Cecil finally had nothing to say.

At the same time, Alexander delivered a speech to the whole country of Los Angeles, with only one theme: fully mobilize and eliminate the Middle Kingdom!
