Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, the Israeli boxing champion

"Well, it's time to start." Marisbili changed his usual image of wisdom and strategy, and enthusiasm appeared on his face for the first time. The mimic celestial body Chaldeas responded to Marisbili's call for the first time.

"Listen to my call! Star of Judgment! Harbinger of Destruction! Prophet and Creator! Comet or asteroid-like existence! Prototype of the myth of the goddess of vengeance! Stay away from the god Azathoth! The ruthless stars and the sleeping Old Ones will obey you! The stars will gradually reach their positions in the sky! The Old Ones will also wake up from their slumber! Nemesis Star! Your believers are calling you!"

At this moment, in a galaxy that is countless light years away from Earth, a unique planet has changed. This planet is brown-red as if it has rusted, and has no other features except for the spherical protrusions that are like hills.

Now, above that vast ocean of liquid iron, an eye appeared.

The universe's greatest singer, Ghroth, is about to start again. A new round of the universe-wide concert "Music of the Spheres" is about to begin.

The next day, Chaldea employees found Marisbury's body.

The cause of death is unknown.

Chapter 33 I am your last hope

Marisbury's body was placed in the temporarily cleared room. Romani, who had just finished the last check on Marisbury, took off his gloves and threw them aside.

"There are no signs of blunt force trauma on the deceased's body, and there is no blood at the scene. Could it be that he really died suddenly?"

When Romani received the news of Marisbury's death, her first reaction was "Is there something wrong with my hearing?" It was not until she saw Marisbury in a permanent sleep in his seat in the control room that she was convinced that this was the truth.

The most unlikely thing happened, in an extremely absurd way.

However, as one of the earliest people who knew Marisbury, Romani would not just believe that this man died. "We can only rely on the situation inside the body, but where is Olga Marie now?" Romani held his forehead helplessly. Olga Marie disappeared in Chaldea after the news of Marisbury's death was confirmed. As long as she wanted, no one could find her.

But Allen was not so lucky.

The original plan was to say goodbye to Chaldea today and start retirement life. Not to mention retiring at the age of 22, but today's low-probability event directly caught me off guard, and the time to leave Chaldea was directly delayed indefinitely.

I was really stupid, really," Alan raised his lifeless eyes and continued. "I just knew that Marisbury would die, so I deliberately did a check-up with Romani; I didn't know that the outcome would not change. I got up early in the morning, opened the door, packed my things, and prepared to say goodbye to Marisbury. He was very open-minded and listened to every word I said; after he went out, I waited in the bedroom, reading, playing games, and preparing to leave. I called the director, but there was no response. I went out to the magic workshop to see, but he was not there. There was no Chaldean director. He didn't walk around casually; I asked everywhere, and sure enough, he was not there. I was anxious and asked someone to go out and look for him. Until everyone got up, searched around and found that there was a person sitting in the control room. Everyone said, it's bad, I'm afraid he fell asleep. Going in again; he was sitting there, he had finished the coffee at hand, and his hand was still tightly holding the ceramic cup."

Thus, Allen's plan was shelved.

Now Alan came to this room. He pushed the door open and saw a body covered with white cloth. Only Romani was writing something.

"Alan, you are here, do me a favor, you are the only one who can do this now." Romani recorded the conclusion he had just drawn while communicating with Alan. "Mary didn't know where she ran away after her father was confirmed dead. Now Chaldea needs her to be the person in charge, although this matter is very sudden..."

"I have issued a temporary order in the name of the current Chaldea director Olga Marie, announcing that Chaldea is now in a state of emergency. Fortunately, I have good relationships with people, and everyone understands this kind of false imperial decree."

"I will be in charge of finding Mary now, and Romani, you go and win Leif's support. If necessary, Mashu can also be used as a negotiation tool with Leif, but I'm sorry that I'm doing this without Mashu's consent..."

"But we only have 24 hours. If we don't contact the Magic Association in London within 24 hours, the situation will be out of our control. Then everyone will be a traitor. I don't think you want to see this, Romani."

"You are such a monster, Alan."

"So you know why I'm usually so idle. Well, it's time to get to work."

One has to sigh that such a nearly perfect response was made by a guy who was about to leave. As for Allen, who came up with a countermeasure in such a short time, Romani said that he had never seen such a thing in all these years.

"I, Romani Aqiman, would like to call you the strongest." She whispered softly. "Then let's do it, where are the Ai... people?"

All that was left for Romani was the door that had not yet been closed.

"This guy is really... Then I have to take action too."

As for Allen, although he had prepared himself for a long search at the beginning, he actually found that Nandu was really big when he searched.

Because Chaldea is so huge!

"Wdnm, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but after running a lap I realized it's really big, where are you, Belt-san?"

"Come on, Mr. Allen. I just saw Dr. Roman coming out from Professor Leif's place. Now all that's left is whether you can find Mary."

"Ahhh what misfortune!"

The clock had turned to 6pm. After a thorough search, Alan finally narrowed down his target to the last place - Maris Billy's magic workshop. After finding the key in his hand, Alan gently opened the door with it.

"Who?" A girl's voice came from inside, but it didn't sound as mellow as usual, instead it sounded a little hoarse.

"Found you, Mary."

Although the wind outside Chaldea was biting cold, beads of sweat still oozed out of Allen's forehead. His chest rose and fell, and sweat slid down his cheeks, dripping onto the ground. "It was really hard for me to find you. You're hiding here."

"Why...why did you come to me?" Her voice was hoarse and a little low. "Look, this is what Olga Marie used to be like. After losing my father, I realized that I was nothing..."

Alan squatted down and gently lifted her head that was buried between her legs with his hands.

“This is not the Olga Marie I saw.”

"I first met you in London. At that time, you showed your noble lady side to a stranger like me. Then, when your father brought me to be your teacher, you were arrogant and self-righteous."

"But what about now? How have you changed in these three years in Chaldea?"

"I'll tell you."

“I value my partners, repay favors, and have a keen political sense and understand the meaning of teamwork.”

"You are now a qualified leader. So please step up and lead us. For the sake of your father, Mr. Marisberry, the former director of Chaldea, we should continue to follow the path that was planned by him."

"You're only 20, you can still be whatever you want to be."

After Allen finished speaking, Olga Marie's red eyes were filled with mist again, and even her voice began to tremble.

"Leadership or something, I really can't do this kind of thing..."

"You still have everyone. Now everyone in Chaldea is backing you up."

"But I..."

"Now, Mary, let's make a pact."

"You will take over as the head of the Animusphia family and the director of Chaldea, and in exchange..."

"I will be your last hope."

Olga Marie looked up at Alan, and the sob in her throat could no longer be held back. In just a moment, tears flowed down her face. She hugged Alan and cried there, crying very sadly, crying happily, crying with tears streaming down her face.

Alan, you are an idiot!

Why do you say that? I just wanted to watch...

I was planning to give up...

Why did you find me...

I can't turn back anymore...

Chapter 34 Chaldeas II: Peace is the Most Valuable

"Tell me, Mary, what do you want to do now that Alan is not here."

Romani was somewhat dissatisfied with Olga Marie's behavior of changing the meeting time casually. They had clearly agreed to hold a meeting tomorrow morning to decide who would be the temporary director of Chaldea during the free time she had when she returned to London. Why did they suddenly pull everyone out in the middle of the night?

You know, after getting consent, she was about to use Chaldea's instruments to conduct an internal examination of Marisbury, but someone rushed in and pulled her here directly after she opened the door...

But Mary has now gotten over the shadow of her father's death and looks well. Romani looked at Olga Marie, who was sitting at the head of the rectangular conference table, with interest.

"It is two o'clock in the morning, eight o'clock in the evening in London Greenwich time. I am sorry to disturb your rest time. The purpose of calling you all together today is to select a person in charge within one year of my return to London. No, a temporary director of Chaldea, to take charge of all affairs of Chaldea during my absence."

"Due to some special reasons, I chose to gather everyone during Alan's rest time." Olga Marie crossed her hands and made Commander Ikari's classic pose.

"Now everyone can speak freely and say what's on your mind."

Everyone in Chaldea is a smart person, and they immediately understood Olga Marie's intention of doing this.

"Mr. Rafe, what do you think?"

"When Mr. Marisbury was preparing for the Holy Grail War, I served as the temporary director of Chaldea for two years. Now it is an extraordinary period again. Chaldea is at a low point and needs an experienced person to lead everyone to regain their status." Leif Lenore, the most senior person in Chaldea, gave his opinion. Others at the meeting were a little surprised to hear this?

The plan to trick Alan together was going to fail before it even started? Although Professor Leif was qualified in terms of experience and ability, most of the people present were somewhat disappointed.

"How about this? You let Alan be the interim director of Chaldea. He will be responsible for handling the main affairs of Chaldea, and Dr. Roman and I will assist him. After a year, you will come back and officially take over as the director of Chaldea. How do you think?"

"Mr. Leif, your suggestion is good, but why don't you choose to step forward now when you have the experience and ability?"

Olga Marie looked confident of victory. "Hmph, you cheated me back then, and now I want to get back what you did to me. Anyway, with your ability, this shouldn't be a problem."

"Olga, when I was the interim director, I also thought about continuing to work. As a young person, everyone is greedy. But I thought to myself that if I want to retire, I should retire beautifully. When I am old, people will respect me. Don't worry about it."

As if he had seen through Olga Marie's little thoughts, Rafe said this sentence slowly, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back... probably.

"Dr. Roman, do you support Alan being the interim director?"

"He has so many people supporting him, it's enough without me."

"I understand. Thank you all for your help. Go back and have a rest. I'll leave first." After getting the result, everyone smiled tacitly. Poor Alan was played around by everyone.

"So you're just going to sell me out like that?" Alan came to the conference room and after listening to Romani telling him about the process and results of the secret meeting early this morning, Alan glanced at his colleagues.

After receiving a positive response, his body turned black and white, and he lost his dream like a salted fish.

"You should have thought of this day when you treated me like this, hahahaha..." The word "cocky" was written all over Olga Marie's face.

"I've been waiting for three years just for this opportunity, to see you, Alan, get humiliated! This is my victory!"

"boring."

It was just an ordinary word, but it dealt a fatal blow to Olga Marie. The invincible Olga Marie 2012 fell again.

"Anyway, the only people in charge of Chaldea during this period of time are me, Professor Leif, and Romani. I had expected this before you said it."

"Oh, you are worthy of being Brother Allen." Leif clapped his hands for no apparent reason. "What a kind person."

"Professor Leif, you flatter me."

"So just go ahead and deal with those people without worry. We are here, and everything will be fine."

"As long as we are here, Chaldea will not fall!"

I don't know who started this sentence, but slowly, the voices grew louder and louder, and everyone started talking at random, and then they all became one in unison, igniting the enthusiasm of all Chaldea employees.

"You...everyone..."

"In any case, Chaldea is behind you."

But I wanted to turn around and leave.

"We are your strongest support."

There will be no me in this.

When a young eagle learns to fly, it often begins before its wings are fully grown. Only after its wings are strong can it truly spread its wings and soar into the sky.

Now, it's time to let her learn to be independent.

At this moment, Romani was leaning against the wall, looking at the two people who had a close relationship, and recalled the conversation a few hours ago.

"Dr. Roman, wait a moment."

"Mary? Is there anything else?" Romani frowned slightly. After all, she still had to go back to deal with the things at hand. The death of that man always seemed unreal to her.

In other words, Romani believed that Marisbury's death was not a sudden death, but an unnatural death.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Olga Marie, who caught up with him, bowed deeply to Romani. "I'm sorry for my immature behavior before."

"Well... if it's just this, it's nothing. Everyone is immature at times." Romani has a deep understanding of this. When she was immature, the whole of Jerusalem knew her reputation - of course, she was a negative example. Later, after accepting God's will, everything was different...

"No, not this."

"I once wanted to give up and just watch."

"But that day he found me and saved me. That's when I realized..."

"I can't go back."

The air froze at that moment.

"Really..." Romani didn't know what to say. On the contrary, it was his own problem to some extent.

There was a disagreement about that manuscript, which led to this domino effect.

"Let's not talk about this topic now, okay, Mary."

Olga Marie was already prepared, but she didn't expect to receive such a confusing response.

"Really? Dr. Roman is really gentle."

"Yes, you are so gentle, Alan, or Vassago. You are indeed an outlier among us."

Chapter 35 Good night, Alan

The climate in Africa in July is unbearably hot. There is not a cloud in the sky. The scorching sun shines straight down. Looking far away, the scenery seems to be distorted in the heat wave.
