At most tomorrow will be the time to leave.
……
The military university has long been infiltrated by all kinds of people with ulterior motives.
Several professors including Morris and Pullman were assassinated... and there were also the assassins who mixed in with the students.
Erritt had been preparing for this plan for at least five years.
The current assassins are only students - probably because students are easier to control and easier to blend in. After all, those faculty members have been here for at least ten years.
Al herself is the odd one out when Morris uses his power.
As Morris said, although there was no declaration of war, the war had already begun.
This is the battlefield.
In the current situation, the other party seems to be quite obsessed with the professors of those military universities.
After asking Morris in detail, I learned that the professors who were targeted were undoubtedly related to the "zero generation machine". They all made significant contributions to this research.
Almost all professors at military universities could not guarantee their own safety. One professor died, and Pullman, whom Lily had met several times, was seriously injured and lived in seclusion in a secret hospital.
However, only Morris was left out.
The woman who mistakenly entered Elle's residence last time was undoubtedly targeting Professor Morris. However, she was deceived by Lily's harmless appearance and was given some weak hints. As a result, she naturally revealed her target.
But by then Morris had already secretly changed his residence.
In other words, the enemy failed to grasp the whereabouts of the mysterious Morris.
In other words, Morris's surroundings were safe for the time being - that is, the people around Morris were trustworthy.
All optimism is based on this inference.
……
Ai'er stood on a high corridor a little far away from the gate, looking at the gate below from afar.
The nominal highest person in charge of this research base is the president, and the warehouse is managed by a group of full professors, including Professor Morris from the Department of Decoration, Professor Pullman from the Department of Materials, Professor Emerson and Professor Bridges from the Department of Theoretical Sciences, a total of more than five people.
There were only four people left in school, two were seriously injured and unable to come out, one died. Only Morris was still intact in the school.
The principal doesn't show up often due to his busy schedule, so Professor Morris has the final say here.
Ai'er noticed that some people were secretly gathering around the gate, and the nearby researchers were being driven away indistinctly.
Creak—accompanied by the slight sound of the metal door.
"Everyone, please."
Led by Morris, the neatly dressed men walked into the empty warehouse one after another.
The generous man who was standing a step behind on the side of the team stopped the moment he entered here.
It seemed as if he was also distracted by this shocking scene.
The eyes of the others were also filled with surprise.
"This, this is... Oh my God..."
The technicians accompanying the Empire were trembling in their words.
"This is the zero-generation machine." Morris introduced to the man behind him:
"…The strength of the kingdom lies here. Mr. Boyle, Mr. Rudolph. This way, please."
Morris took a few people with him and went deeper into the place.
But Prime Minister Boyle looked at Rudolf's surprised face and curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
"What do you think, Mr. Rudolf? With the power of the empire, you will surely be able to make your own judgment on this scene."
Rudolph heard this and seemed to realize his own misconduct, and narrowed his eyes:
"The kingdom is indeed much more confident now."
"Well, Mr. Minister... May I ask about the alliance between the Kingdom and the Empire..." someone in the back seemed to be impatient to speak.
Morris glanced back slightly. The visitor immediately realized his mistake and shrank back.
"Haha, no hurry, no hurry." The minister laughed slowly: "We can discuss the details later. There is no rush. I will also convey my reasonable judgment back to the empire."
"That is to say..."
"I may have to visit the kingdom more often in the future. Please bear with me then."
The accompanying personnel from the kingdom couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
Negotiations between the two lasted nearly three years.
This may be the turning point.
Several people continued to walk deeper.
It's just that the pace and speech are much more relaxed.
"But..." The minister of the empire asked slowly, "With something like this, aren't you afraid that others will take a peek?"
"Don't worry." Someone explained cheerfully, "We are happy to share this technology with the Empire. Although the Empire's technology is not as good as ours, I believe that the depth of its research is probably much greater than ours. As for those small kingdoms, we have sufficient and strict protection measures."
Someone else added: "All researchers here have signed confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from leaving the military university. There are strict restrictions on activities within the university. There will also be strict qualification checks before entering..."
The minister narrowed his eyes and did not reply. Others could see that he did not seem optimistic about the so-called qualification review of the kingdom.
The people of the kingdom also understood that it was something that could only be guaranteed to be accurate for people with a family background like the nobles.
"It's just that I heard that there seems to be some problems here recently?" Rudolph asked casually.
The bystanders were shocked.
"How could that be possible? Minister, please do not believe in rumors." The people of the kingdom interrupted quickly.
"It must be some rumors spread by people from other countries. We are already investigating it thoroughly..."
"Really?" Someone from the Empire asked back, "Some of us today..."
"Don't worry."
The argument among several people was interrupted by the voice of the young man in front.
Morris smiled faintly and said, "No matter what happens outside... I can guarantee that at least in this large warehouse, you are all absolutely safe."
"Oh? Is this true?" Someone asked impatiently, "What's the professor's confidence?"
"I've already told you that your worries are unnecessary. The warehouse's security is one of the highest levels in the kingdom..." The man from the kingdom changed the subject.
Morris did not explain further, but just smiled slightly in front.
……
Ai'er, who was far away, glanced at the men who came in, then looked around with boredom.
But I saw it by chance, on the side where no one was paying attention.
Two students in research uniforms were vaguely visible, approaching this side as if nothing had happened.
He just tightened the thick paper in his hand awkwardly.
136.Secure Guarantees and Transactions
Those men did not notice the students approaching at this moment.
The two students holding the papers did not make any big moves, but just walked slowly beside the men.
Ai'er looked carefully at what the boy was holding.
In addition to the paper... As expected, there was an unnatural bulge hidden underneath the paper.
The boy's clenched hands must be holding a strange object hidden under the paper.
I am just using paper as a cover... Next, I will probably have to start my dangerous actions in this warehouse.
Elle looked again at Morris, who was in the lead.
The other person's smile was as relaxed as usual, and he seemed to be busy dealing with the men from the empire and kingdom behind him.
There was no sign of impending danger.
"You can rest assured about the safety of the kingdom... The people behind us are elite members of the magic army with many years of combat experience."
"And our Department of Modification has to be on par with the most advanced in the mainland. If we can't even solve this little problem..."
While the ministers were talking.
Ai'er leaned against the railing, watching the students approaching step by step, gradually getting closer.
At this time-
"Hey."
The boy was about to approach those important people when he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder by a passing researcher.
"Where are you going?"
Following this question, the boy stopped.
"Is that...some document you're holding?"
The person behind him continued to interrogate the boy who seemed to be plotting something bad.
The boy lowered his eyes.
Not to mention the people behind him. Even some researchers who happened to pass by felt something was a little strange.
"What are you doing...ah, I failed."
The boy seemed to realize that he could not escape.
"..."
A faint light seeped out from the gaps between the papers in the boy's hand. The student bent his legs and lowered his waist, ready to rush forward with all his strength.
The magic released made a faint rumbling sound—even the men not far away were illuminated with some shadows.
