Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 573 Conversation with the Military
For a long time, Tilan has intentionally or unintentionally avoided in-depth negotiations and bindings with those big forces, because she didn't want to get involved in disputes over interests. Although this would also make her lack of support and unable to obtain as rich resources as other singers, she didn't care.

This behavior habit continued until recently.

"So, Tilan is going to meet the other party this time?" In the room, Dolores stood behind the girl, helping her comb her hair and checking the corners of her clothes.

"Well, after all, they are really sincere and have always let me do what I want. They didn't force me too much and took so long to agree. I wonder if they will be angry." Tilan looked at the girl in the mirror and blinked. Under her slender eyelashes were beautiful and spiritual eyes. Just staring at her was as if there were thousands of words contained in them, making people inevitably obsessed.

Looking at her black and white dress with rose pleats, Tilan raised her hands and reflected on herself in the mirror.

"I always feel like this is a bit...should I dress more maturely?" She turned her head and looked at Dolores behind her.

Although they are the same age, Dolores looks like the older sister. After all, she is the eldest daughter of a luxury brand company. Dolores has great taste and grace in dressing, and her well-developed figure also highlights this.

"It's okay, it looks better this way." Dolores encouraged the girl.

"If Tilan insists on dressing in a mature, formal, and neutral style, she will look out of place. You should wear matching clothes according to your temperament and appearance, and try to show your own characteristics. This way, you will look good."

"If you blindly follow trends and wear clothes that don't suit your temperament, no matter how good the design is, it will look uncoordinated and feel awkward and inappropriate," Dolores shared her experience.

"There are many kinds of beauty, just choose the one that suits you and makes you comfortable."

After combing Tilan's long hair, Dolores used a thin white ribbon to tie her hair, and then pinned a blue rose hairpin on it, letting the rose fall symmetrically in the center of the back of her head.

"From now on, when Tilan attends formal occasions, she should try to choose a dress of the same style, such as a blue or black dress that matches your name."

“Why is that?”

"Political propaganda is different from entertainment stars. Entertainment stars naturally wear a variety of new clothes to bring a sense of freshness, but politics involves very serious and realistic things. If you change your style every day, it will appear unstable, make people worry, and reduce their sense of security."

"In addition, dressing in a uniform style can also make your image easier for people to remember. Basically, as long as people see blue and black roses, they will think of you, and then you will be successful." Dolores's talent in studying the Extraordinary Sequence is not top-notch, but because of her background and childhood experiences, she is very familiar with these political and business matters.

"I understand." The girl nodded.

In the afternoon, Tilan met the retired Tatis couple. They are now in their fifties and run a small shop together on a small residential planet in the Kemu star field.

The contact was gradual and gentle without causing any surprises. This time, Tilan came to meet them under the pretext of participating in a charity project caring for the elderly and children.

"Welcome, Miss Tilan." The couple was actually not that old. It had only been a few years since they retired from the army. They both looked quite healthy and energetic.

This is a dessert shop in a small town surrounded by pleasant scenery. A small number of cattle and sheep are raised locally to add vitality to the environment and produce milk and meat for local residents.

When Tilan came, there were only her and Dolores. This small town was located on an open plain, so even if plainclothes officers from the Tribunal came, there wouldn't be many people and no fanfare. With the help of the pre-set time difference, Tilan could get safe communication time for the meeting.

Sitting at a small table under a parasol in the backyard of the dessert shop, Tilan and Dolores sat opposite the couple and listened to them talk about their lives.

"I served in the Lansha star field in the outer sea before. The federal population there is very small, and the main danger is the unstable space environment, which means that the Lansha star field is only safe for one month every two years to transport necessary supplies back and forth." Tatis, the husband, spoke.

"Working there is rather boring because of the local space environment, and we often cannot contact the internal star network of the Federation."

"How did such a place come into being?" Tilan asked.

"This is of course the result of past wars," the other party replied quickly.

"In the past, that was the star field where the Dark Sun Hefashimo was located. He was a very powerful figure among the Dark Suns at the end of the Fifth Era. When he died in battle, it caused a violent space shock. And because Hefashimo was torn apart instead of his tribe being extinguished, he still retained extremely strong power when he died, which caused serious sequelae."

"In that place, if you upgrade the dimension and enter the Sea of ​​Aegaka, there will be great risks. That's why many superluminal starships are restricted from entering and exiting, and can only use more primitive curvature space engines." Tatis described the area where they served together.

"The reason why the Federation still cares about places like this is that it was once a prosperous world where Hefashimo and his 'Cicada Wing Species' lived. There are many relics of that era in it, such as the records and technology left by the Cicada Wing Species."

"For this reason, many archaeological teams and explorers gathered there in the past. The special technology patents excavated there later spawned two giant companies, namely 'Light Cicada Prism' and 'Bright Wing Seal'. They respectively mastered the secret method of making special glass and the method of light-burning space marking. The former is used to manufacture many observation instruments, and the latter is a method used to determine one's own position and lock the target position during superluminal space travel."

The two talked about their past experiences of serving in the Lansha Star Region, and the technological legacy left behind after the demise of the "Cicada Wing Species".

"After more than 1000 years of excavation and development, these heritage sites have been almost completely explored, leaving only a small number of people stationed there to prevent them from being used as nests by some illegal organizations because they are vacant."

"Having said so much, Miss Tilan, are you a little confused as to why we emphasize these?"

"Because these are our personal experiences, they are not lies or exaggerations. In fact, although the Federation has been established for nearly 1600 years, the hidden dangers of the Dark Sun have not completely disappeared. There are still people secretly researching related technologies and looking for possible ways to reproduce it."

"In the Lansha Star Region, we often catch stowaway starships supported by such ambitious people. Most of them are desperate criminals and are extremely aggressive."

"In the past, these hidden dangers would not cause any waves or dare to emerge under the suppression of the powerful strength of the Federation. But in today's era, many people are blinded by profit and desire to seek powerful power. Although history has left warnings, greed and ambition cannot be stopped." "As a singer, I believe that as some of the current situations within the Federation, you should know more about them than us. It's not that good." No, I don't know that much, the girl complained secretly in her heart.

"The divide between the rich and the poor in society has led to a lot of resentment accumulating. In some places, even cults have begun to appear. Different from the rational and slightly restrained orthodox religions, these cults take advantage of people's inner emptiness and helplessness, selling the so-called 'heaven after death', making the soul become an 'angel', saying that this can free one from the pain of reality, and thus gain the support of many people."

"The poorer and more difficult a place is, the more likely it is to give birth to this kind of narcotic and inflammatory religion."

"Although these 'cults' existed in the past, they never gained much popularity. After all, this is not the ancient times, an era when gods and spirits truly existed. Even if they are liars, it is hard to convince people if they don't have strong power."

"But things have changed in recent years. According to some intelligence, the leaders of some 'cults' have become significantly stronger, and some have even used the more primitive 'consciousness resonance' ability."

Tilan listened and nodded slightly, but soon remembered the matter about the 'Connector' Alana, wondering if this was one of them.

"These technologies did not come out of thin air. According to interrogation and research, these technologies are likely to be the legacy of a dark sun."

"Logically, this should be an area that the Tribunal should focus on." Tilan was curious why it was a military personnel who told her.

"That's right, but there is serious infighting in the Tribunal right now." The military's secret liaison officer uttered the shocking news.

"Internal strife in the Tribunal?" Tilan opened her mouth slightly.

"Yes, Miss Tilan usually interacts with people from the Diva Supervision Department. There are not many of them, and too many people are paying attention to the Diva area, so they dare not spread the struggle to this area."

“In other areas, that’s not the case.”

"The Inquisition has three main responsibilities. The first is to eliminate the troubles left by the Fifth Quarter, such as the unincorporated 'new races', possible Dark Sun cults, illegal research organizations, very special supernatural phenomena, etc."

"Second, we monitor federal officials and official agencies to ensure integrity and fairness. This part has the largest number of people and the most complicated situations."

"Third, the maintenance of major security and order. This includes protecting singers, extremely important political figures, on-site security for large-scale events, the stability of the Aika network, the arrest and hunting of extremely bad criminals, etc."

"No one likes to have a sword hanging over their head, and everyone likes to use this hanging sword to strike opponents and enemies. Therefore, even if the Tribunal has iron laws, it still cannot stop all kinds of people with strong interests from knocking on the door and infiltrating again and again. It can only be said that compared with other corrupt functional departments, the Tribunal still has a bottom line."

"The most dangerous enemies often come from within. The same is true for the Inquisition. In order to prevent the corruption of its own personnel, they have an extremely terrifying self-disciplined force. These people once swore in front of the remains of Her Highness Emuraline that they would use their remaining will and strength to uphold her will and wishes and protect this country."

"These personnel have undergone special transformations. Although their sequence levels will not increase, their combat capabilities are extremely strong and they are equipped with many dangerous weapons and props. They are very familiar with the personnel structure of the Inquisition and their combat capabilities. In addition, masks are printed on their faces that they will never take off. It can be said that they have become some kind of 'inhuman' existence."

"The existence of such a team has always intimidated the people within the Inquisition and has also ensured that the Inquisition has not deteriorated in the past four hundred years."

"However, just two months ago, we received news that a bloody conflict broke out within the Inquisition. Two elite self-disciplined units belonging to the Inquisition clashed with each other, and as many as 7 Sequence 13 core members died. This was an extremely serious internal fight, and it could even be described as shocking."

"It is foreseeable that the Tribunal will fall into considerable chaos in the future. As a result, the Tribunal's ability to suppress the chaotic situation will be weakened, and hidden forces from all sides will emerge. No one can guarantee that they will be able to remain unscathed in the future."

"As for the military, although we have strong military strength, have obtained some intelligence, and can foresee many things that are about to happen, we are also the group most restricted by federal rules. Any fleet transfer and personnel replacement will attract the scrutiny and questioning of the parliament."

"In order to prevent something too passive from happening, we need a third-party singer like Miss Tilan to serve as an ally and helper, to speak out in the parliament and block possible unfavorable decisions."

The other party was afraid that Tilan was too young and could not understand some profound and obscure hints, so he spoke more bluntly. It must be said that if such words were heard and recorded by the court, they would inevitably become serious evidence of a crime.

Businesses, politicians, religions, people from these forces or organizations can easily come into contact with singers and engage in a certain degree of cooperation, such as joint commercial activities, canvassing for votes, public welfare propaganda, etc. However, it is strictly forbidden for the military to come into contact with singers.

If one side already has military power and also has the support of popular reputation, wouldn't it be easy for it to become independent? A similar incident happened during the civil war four hundred years ago, when the singer teamed up with the local fleet and undermined the official authority.

Although the winner was also Aimura Lin, a local singer, her successors did not want future generations to follow their path, so they decisively blocked it.

After listening to the other party's narration, Tilan began to think. In fact, she had a good impression of Arnansha and a number of military-industrial groups. After all, this group was outside the independent system and was less polluted.

It also benefits from the Federal Parliament's defense against the military, including prohibiting the military from conducting additional propaganda, participating in commercial activities, or having financial dealings with any company. This, to some extent, also ensures a relatively pure atmosphere within the military.

There were so many powerful military-industrial enterprises in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region back then. As soon as the war ended, they were immediately split up by the federal officials and relocated to different star regions in order to avoid the formation of interest groups. This was also the main reason why the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region could not recover after the war.

Time passed quietly. Dolores beside Tilan drank her coffee slowly. Neither she nor the couple opposite her urged her. They waited quietly for the decision of the young singer.

About ten minutes later, Tilan looked up, blinked, and the voice rang in their minds.

"I promise to provide you with some support and help, but when necessary, I also hope to get your help."
