Deep Sea District, Star Envoy Association·Deep Blue Branch, Tidal Echoes Room.
"No! A whole Special Operations Squad is absolutely not allowed!"
Branch President of Deep Blue Branch, 'Great White Shark·Dortre', after hearing that the special envoy of the General Assembly actually wanted to transfer an entire Special Operations Squad from him at once.
After all, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and slapped the coral conference table in front of him hard.
The force was so great that the lighting pearls hanging above everyone began to shake on the spot.
Under the flickering light, other people in the conference room looked at Branch President·Dortre, who was competing with the general envoy·Byron.
I didn't dare to express my anger, for fear that I would accidentally be involved in this unreasonable disaster.
Fortunately, although Dortre was angry at this time, he was just complaining and was not really prepared to confront the president.
Because if nothing else, the strength of Byron alone is enough to challenge all of them Deep Blue Branch.
Therefore, after calming down his mood, Great White Shark·Dortre sat down again.
He looked up at the special envoy of the General Assembly wearing a metal mask not far away - 'Indestructible Body·Byron'.
He said with a serious expression, "Byron, I can give you at most half a division here, and the person leading the team will only be Deputy Captain level."
"After all, there is only one Low-Risk Exploration Zone around our Deep Blue Metropolis, which makes our Association Star Envoy here far inferior to other New Federation cities in terms of quantity and quality."
"Not to mention the precious manpower we have here, we still need to take care of the precious Deep Blue Mineral Vein."
"Once interested people know that Deep Blue Branch is missing a complete Special Operations Squad, they will definitely be ready to take action."
Safe Zone, Low-Risk Zone, High-Risk Zone, Fallen Zone, Forbidden Land.
This is the regional exploration risk level jointly divided by the Star Envoy Association and the New Federation government.
The first three are regional intelligence that can be disclosed, and the latter two are confidential regional intelligence that cannot be disclosed.
The so-called Safe Zone, as the name suggests, is a relatively safe area.
An urban area similar to Deep Blue Metropolis, First Floating City·Star Orbit Corridor where Star Envoy Association's headquarters is located.
These can be regarded as Safe Zone in a relative sense, and there are few dangers.
Low-Risk Zone refers to the fact that in this area, only Star Beast, which is as high as level 2, can be observed all year round.
High-Risk Zone means that in this area, only Star Beast, which is the highest Rank 3, can be observed all year round.
As for Fallen Zone and Forbidden Land.
These two areas are confidential areas designated by the Star Envoy Association himself and are never disclosed to the outside world.
Because it is different from the almost translucent state of 'Low-Risk Zone' and 'High-Risk Zone'.
'Fallen Zone' and 'Forbidden Land' belong to the dangerous area where Star Envoy Association cannot observe.
As they are both unobservable areas, the basis for the Star Envoy Association to distinguish them is the survival rate of Association Star Envoy entering them.
Any dangerous area where Rank 4 or Higher Star Beast is active and Association Star Envoy has walked out of it alive in history.
All will be listed by the Star Envoy Association as Fallen Zone that can only be explored by High-level Star Envoy.
And those areas where Association Star Envoy has not yet been able to walk out alive.
It is 'Forbidden Land' that is listed as prohibited from exploration by the Association.
What is more surprising is that it is currently recorded by the Star Envoy Association and can be explored in 'Fallen Zone'.
More than two-thirds of the amount was created by one person when contemporary General President was young.
The name Current Strongest is well deserved.
In the conference hall, Dortre had already explained his difficulties to the general meeting Envoy Byron.
But General Manager Envoy Byron had obviously expected this.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dortre, let you Association people go out first. After all, there are some things I can only say to you alone."
"Okay."
As Dortre waved his hand, six Association Star Envoy, including Gorn, saw this and immediately stood up and left the conference hall.
At the same time, two Rank 2 Star Envoy brought by Byron from 'Steam Capital' also took the initiative to leave the conference hall under the signal of Byron.
Not long after, only Dortre and Byron were left in the originally spacious conference hall.
After making sure there was no one else around except Dortre.
Byron took out a Star Energy Device similar to 'Shielding Device' from his arms and placed it on the conference table.
All possibilities for outsiders to explore the contents of the meeting were cut off.
After doing this series of confidentiality work, Byron finally talked about some of the mission content that he could reveal to Dortre.
And after hearing the amazing information contained in these words.
Even the well-informed Branch President·Dortre could not help but have his pupils dilated and his mouth opened in shock.
ten minutes later
"Dortre, this is the information I can reveal to you. For the rest, you can neither know nor it is best not to know."
"Because knowing too much is not only not good for you, but it can also easily bring you death."
Regarding Byron's words, Dortre, who was still in shock at this moment, did not respond at all.
He kept taking deep breaths, obviously digesting the shocking information in his brain.
After a while, Dortre closed his eyes, and the gills on both sides of his ears were completely closed at this moment.
And when he opened his eyes again, the original concerns and anger in his eyes were replaced by an emotion called excitement.
"Okay, Byron, a Special Operations Squad is a Special Operations Squad, as long as the promise you said can be fulfilled."
"Then let alone just Special Operations Squad, even if you want me, an old guy, to take action personally, there will be no problem."
Looking at the emotional Dortre, Byron used his own Mechanical type's unique rational temperament.
Use an extremely calm tone to cool him down.
"No need, Dortre. It's not that I look down on you, nor that I don't want such a powerful helper like you, but because those guys' information on Deep Blue Metropolis may be far beyond your imagination."
"Although just a transfer of Special Operations Squad will also attract their attention, it is far from enough to make them desperate and decisive transfer."
"But if even you, Branch President, start taking action, then with the intelligence network they have operated here for many years, they will definitely be aware of the danger in advance and transfer immediately."
"Once things develop to this point, it won't be that easy to catch them."
Hearing this, Dortre couldn't help but ask a core question.
"Byron, since you are so afraid of surprising those guys in advance, why don't you ask for help from the family behind you, or even the Association headquarters?"
"You must know that whether it is the Iron Dome Family behind you or the Association headquarters that has gathered the most High-level Star Envoys in the entire New Federation, they are much more powerful than my mere Deep Blue Branchs, and they can send out many more High-level Star Envoys."
Faced with this question from Dortre, Byron gave him an unexpected answer.
"That's because our family has made an agreement with General President. Unless that person does something that harms New Federation, we are absolutely not allowed to take action against him."
"Although that guy has done a lot in the past few years, if we only look at the New Federation and Star Envoy levels, then what he did is not only not harming New Federation, but also promoting the development of New Federation and Star Envoy Realm."
"So once General President knows that although we abide by the agreement on the surface, we have been investigating him secretly, then General President will definitely not let us go easily."
"Whether it's at the headquarters or within our family, there are many General President people."
"Only the edge areas like Deep Blue Metropolis and Steam Capital, which are far away from Seven Great Floating Cities, can I ensure that there is no eyeliner of General President."
"Otherwise, even if I use the guise of exploring high-end Fallen Zone, I can't guarantee that I won't leak the news."
After hearing this, Dortre finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
After knowing the importance of this mission and the huge benefits he could get from it, Dortre said without any worries.
"Okay, Byron, I understand, tell me, who among us Branch do you like? As long as you speak, I will let them fully cooperate with you."
"Gorn, you must lend me Gorn temporarily."
"Are you sure?"
Dortre glanced at Byron in surprise, and then reminded him seriously, "Byron, although that guy Gorn is very strong, he is limited by Perfect Awakening's harsh conditions. At the moment, he will never and cannot use his full strength."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the core Branch in Seven Great Floating Cities unselected and come to a remote little Branch like us Deep Blue Branch."
Faced with Dortre's reminder, Byron's answer was very firm.
"Don't worry, I have a way to make him attack with all his strength without destroying Perfect Awakening's conditions."
"Is that so? Then I have no problem with it, it just depends on what he says."
"It's just that his personality is quite special. I can't say that I can definitely convince him. I hope you can understand this."
"It's okay."
As Dortre and Byron finalized the candidates, the scene of the drama switched again and came to the corridor outside the conference hall.
And in Dimensional Audience's surprised eyes, he focused the camera on a middle-aged Star Envoy who was very unfamiliar to them.
And appearing in the screen together with this person is a brief introduction about him.
[Name: William·Howard (Clockwork Knight)]
[Power: Star Envoy Association·Steam Capital Branch]
[Level: Level 2·Middle]
[Base Star Energy Value: 7500]
[Star Source: Change system·Black Iron Clock]
During the boring time waiting for the two lord objects in the conference hall.
William, who was idle and bored, leaned against the wall of the corridor outside the conference hall, lowering his head intently and calibrating the time Pink Children's Watch on his left wrist.
Not only is this children's watch childish in style, even the edges of the dial are artificially decorated with crooked strawberry stickers.
This makes it look so out of place with William, who is wearing heavy black armor, has a giant sword in both hands on his back, and has a majestic temperament.
"William, why do you keep wearing this children's watch? Does it have any special meaning?"
Just when William was completely immersed in his own world, a voice suddenly came from his ears.
William raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
The person speaking was the current captain Steam Capital First Squad, Benjamin·Iron Dome, who had just parachuted in from the headquarters a month ago.
At the same time, information about Benjamin also appeared on the screen of the drama.
[Name: Benjamin·Iron Dome (Explosives Expert)]
[Power: Star Envoy Association·Steam Capital Branch]
[Level: Level 2·Higher]
[Base Star Energy Value: 8500]
[Star Source: Mechanical type·Metal Detonation]
Although the relationship with Benjamin is not familiar.
But William still smiled and gave an explanation.
"Captain, this is not some childish watch for children. It is an important amulet given to me by my precious daughter. Of course, I cannot take it off casually."
Looking at William with a happy face, Benjamin·Iron Dome, as Mechanical type Star Envoy, immediately tilted his upper body back 15 degrees in a very formal way.
At the same time, the facial muscles on his face were mobilized very precisely into an expression of 'helplessness and envy'.
Perfectly interpreting the 'complex emotions' of envy and jealousy he showed towards William after hearing these words.
Although Benjamin's performance is very realistic.
As the tenth generation Mechanized Family elite of the Iron Dome family, he had actually received the 'Emotion Excision Surgery' from his family as early as the age of six, and the amygdala tissue in his brain that represents human emotions was removed by the family doctor.
Therefore, all his current reactions are just cold disguises after precise calculations.
Smart Machine never needs boring human emotions.
Because they will only become a burden to Smart Machine.
[Human Emotion Simulation Program can be opened, and the specific emotional expression behavior is being generated.]
[The best emotional expression has been generated, which is expected to increase the target person's favorability of 'William·Howard' by '5%~10%']
[The specific expressions of emotions are as follows.]
Relying on its own powerful 'Human Emotion Simulation Program', Benjamin quickly found the best way of expression.
He suddenly lowered his head and observed the children's watch in William's hand seriously.
After a moment, he kindly reminded, "William, I think the time on your watch seems a little inaccurate. Are the internal parts old and rusty?"
Hearing this, William sighed helplessly.
"Yes, the air here at Deep Blue Metropolis is too humid and far less dry than that at Steam Capital, which caused problems with my precious amulet as soon as it came here."
"But it doesn't matter. After I return to Steam Capital, I will use the tools at home to take care of it again to ensure that it can return to normal."
Benjamin said "curiously": "Why do you have to wait until you return to Steam Capital before doing maintenance? If I remember correctly, the internal structure of this kind of watch should be very simple."
"As a famous watchmaker Steam Capital, it shouldn't be difficult for you to repair it?"
In response, William smiled and waved his hand, and said with a proud look, "Captain Benjamin, these ideas you mentioned are purely from the perspective of an excellent watchmaker, not from the perspective of an excellent father."
"You must know that for an excellent father, it is important to repair this watch, but what is more important is to enjoy the admiration and envy in his daughter's eyes when he is next to him."
"So, I really have no choice but to repair this watch after I get home."
Looking at William with a happy face, Benjamin was stunned and said with a very 'emotional' expression, "I don't have a daughter, so I really can't understand the thoughts of you fathers."
"It's okay, it's okay. When Captain you find the person you want to protect for the rest of your life and become a father, you will be able to understand how I feel."
". Then wish me such a day."
"Don't worry, Captain, this day will definitely come true."
Real world, Station 13.
Dimensional Audience We looked at the two strange characters appearing on the screen for the first time.
Although they don't know what the plot of these two people will be in the future, and how they will interact with Protagonist Group.
But since they will be specially released by the production team, precious drama time will be used to specially shape them.
This shows that they will definitely play a big role in the subsequent plot.
Otherwise, the production team of Stellaris would never waste so many precious resources on two insignificant supporting characters.
Combining the current dialogue between the two, as well as the recent dialogue between Branch President·Dortre and the special envoy of the General Conference·Byron.
Some smart Dimensional Audience seemed to have vaguely understood something.
'My daughter's gift, the watch that suddenly broke, the obsession to go home, it's not uncle. Why do you have such a dead look on your face? '
'Seven Great Floating Cities, Fallen Zone and Forbidden Land, Steam Capital suddenly appeared, why do you feel that the production team has begun to pave the way for the plot of Season 2? Could this Season 2's main venue be Steam Capital? '
'Did the special envoy of the General Conference specify Fish Pond Brother? It seems that Fish Pond Brother will accidentally enter the high-end round this time. I just don't know how Fish Pond Brother will perform in the high-end round this time. '
'As mentioned above, is it possible that Fish Pond Brother is just frying fish, not real fish? After all, according to what Branch President said earlier, although Fish Pond Brother has been suppressing his strength, he can still thrive in the second level. He obviously does not belong to this segment. '
'Human Emotion Simulation Program? Darling, are Stellaris World and Smart Machine so scary? If you leave a good person alone, you have to become a robot, hahaha'
'You said that the mission of the General Envoy was the cause of Tiandao's previous terrible prophetic dream? Otherwise, why would the program team suddenly show this plot? '
'Damn it, according to what you said, then Tiandao and the others are suddenly going to face a Rank 4 Upper-Tier General Headquarters Star Envoy, four Branch elite Star Envoy who are also Rank 2 Mid-Tier, and several Rank 1 Branch Star Envoy? Now Ember Base is taking the lead! '
'What's wrong with level four? As far as Doctor has always shown, his level is either level four or above, or Rank 3 Perfect. Otherwise, how could he create Star Project? '
'What I said before is correct. '
Just when Dimensional Audiences were having a heated discussion around the various information revealed in this plot.
The scene in the drama suddenly switched to the door of the conference hall.
Crunch——
As the door of the conference hall slowly opened, the first thing that appeared was the special scene composition in the conference hall at this time.
At this time, the lighting pearl on the top of the conference hall seemed to be slowly obscured by thick dark clouds.
Not only is the light released very thin, but even the originally straight light has a slightly distorted halo at this time, making people feel inexplicably depressed.
At the same time, the tidal patterns carved on the walls around the conference hall are like the tides that are constantly gathering before a storm, flowing slowly.
Obviously it was just an ordinary conference hall before.
However, due to the special rendering by the production team, this ordinary conference hall now gives people the feeling of a storm.
As the camera slowly advanced, the entire drama quickly focused on the general envoy Byron at the center of the 'storm'.
"Okay everyone, I've finished chatting with Dortre. You can come in."
As Byron's voice fell, the entire scene dimmed instantly.
Only a pair of special eyes were left, releasing the mysterious Glimmer in the deep darkness.
This Glimmer is paired with the unique sound of waves from Tidal Echoes Room.
The Dimensional Audiences in front of the screen all understood one thing.
That means a huge storm is coming soon.
PS: Because the recent plots are relatively important, Pang Hu has to be very careful when writing, and it is difficult to write fast or write too much.
There will be another update later, and it will be uploaded before twelve o'clock.
