People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Because he really "saw the devil."

"Shelagh actually has Sarkaz, Prime Minister Ernst, you didn't tell me this before."

"You don't know how I felt when I suddenly saw the Sarkaz during the sermon."

Evangelista XI smacked his lips, pursed his lips, and savored the taste carefully in front of Ernst.

"How should I put it? It's pretty scary."

It's like being caught bragging about your success by your childhood friend. On the one hand, you're worried that he might reveal some dirty secrets about wetting his pants as a kid, which would make you an idiot. On the other hand, you're a little excited. You force yourself to smile and pretend to be calm, showing off without making a sound.

Ernst didn't know what Evangelista XI was tasting. If he knew, he would definitely sigh:

"As expected of you, the Great God of the Sakota Realm!"

It is because your material life is too perfect that you pursue the stimulation that is lacking in the spiritual realm.

Translation: It means that I have nothing to do and I always want to do something exciting.

However, Ernst still had to explain why Kjerag had infiltrated the Sarkaz:

"Your Holiness, I wonder which Sarkaz you are talking about?"

"If it's a female Sarkaz with dark gray hair, wearing a women's suit and trousers, and who likes to spin pens when she's free, then that's Miss Nastie, a specially hired urban reconstruction engineer for Kjerag. In addition, she is also the head of the engineering department of Rhine Life Science. Rhine Life Science is an important strategic partner of Kjerag. If nothing goes wrong, she will spend a lot of time in Kjerag in the future."

"So, if you are disgusted by her, I'm sorry, you may have to adapt to it. But Miss Nasti doesn't have most of the shortcomings of the Sarkaz. Even if we can't be friends, at least you don't have to worry about what he will do to you because of the conflict between the Sarkaz and Sakota."

Ernst paused and observed Evangelista XI's expression.

The old man nodded thoughtfully. Judging from his expression, the person he met was probably not Nasti.

That's right. Nasti should be in the laboratory now, cooperating with Typhon and Kal'tsit to clean up the mess. Although the Firelord Safar didn't make a big noise in the end, the various equipment in the laboratory were still seriously damaged, and the main structure needed to be re-inspected to ensure safety. These are what she has to do as the director of the engineering department.

In that case, it can only be those three.

"If what you see are three Sarkaz with red hair, blonde hair, and pink hair."

"Don't move the red-haired one-eyed guy. He's my employee and he has a contract with me. If you hurt him, I'll have to pay for the work injury compensation. If you kill him, you'll have to compensate me and send me a teacher. I don't think any of us want to see that happen."

"As for the other two."

Ernst paused for a moment and shrugged.

"They are members of Kazdel's Military Council, and they came to Kjerag to gather intelligence. If Ratlan is sure that he can make them disappear without implicating Kjerag, then I won't ask any more questions about it."

This condition sounded reasonable, but after Evangelista XI gave it a little thought, he realized that it was almost impossible.

Manfred and Ursula came to Kjerag to gather intelligence. If something happened to them, how could Kjerag not be implicated?

Even if he can really produce a complete chain of evidence and take all the blame, the outcome is hard to say.

After all, you can't expect the Sarkaz to be reasonable. If Tracys really wants to vent his anger, no one can stop him.

After all, he was only angry for a moment. Who can't be angry for a moment? Even if he wanted to yell "Yeragond is a pig!" in Londinium, Ernst couldn't bring the great god Yeragund to hit him, slap him in the face, and say "Bounce back!"

So, to some extent, although Ernst's words seemed to give the Laterans an opening, they actually protected the two Sarkaz.

And Evangelista XI could not question this implicit protection.

You said that he helped the Sarkaz, and he did offer conditions, and the conditions seemed fair and reasonable - you guys fight your way through, just don't take too much blood from me, and no one can find fault with that.

As for why he did this, maybe he just didn't want to cause trouble, maybe he just didn't want to cause bloodshed on his own territory and affect Kjerag's reputation, or there might be other reasons.

Who knows? Evangelista XI didn't take it seriously.

He didn't kill the Sarkaz on sight, especially when the opponent had some status.

Tracys was also a well-known ruthless man in Terra. The short-lived people might not know this, but they, the Sakota, would know it. When the coalition forces attacked Kazdel, it was this swordsman who stepped forward and killed the leader of the coalition forces even though the Demon King had already died in the battle.

Although Lateran did not participate in that coalition, the gunners of Gaul, the tower warlocks of Lethania, and the steam knights of Victoria were unable to stop him. This incident still left a great shock to the Terra people at that time.

No grudges yesterday, no hatred today. There is no need to create an enemy for yourself.

As for those Sarkaz mercenaries and the Sakota Operations Group who are killing each other in the lower levels?

Evangelista XI said: Personal behavior should not be elevated to the level of the country. Lateran has always adhered to the diplomatic philosophy of peaceful coexistence. Even if it is against Kazdel, we will not declare war immediately.

He nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Evangelista XI finally decided to bring the topic back on track.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Ernst, you specially invited me here, didn't you just want to listen to an old man like me nagging?"

"Let me guess, is it related to the [Star Picking Project]?"

Ernst nodded, then shook his head:

"It can be said to be related, or it can be said to be unrelated."

"It all depends on your choice, Your Holiness."

"Oh?" Evangelista XI straightened his sitting posture and asked curiously, "I wonder what choices I have?"

"I hope to meet with the Law again."

"Why?" Evangelista XI did not refuse at the first time.

"The information obtained during this [Star Picking Plan] needs to be translated with the help of [Law]."

"Translation?" Evangelista XI frowned and immediately came to a conclusion, "You have obtained an unknown language? Sound? Text? Or something else?"

Ernst did not answer. Obviously, if Evangelist XI did not agree, this would be the only information he could know.

Evangelista XI was silent for a moment, and a cunning look appeared in his eyes behind his glasses:

"Prime Minister Ernst has also met with the man of law. Theoretically, there is no loss for Lateran to meet him again."

The loss was mentioned specifically, and the meaning is clear.

No loss is just the basis for agreeing to this matter, which is roughly equivalent to a balanced scale, 0:0. But if you want him to agree, you need to add some weights on the other side.

Ernst had the weights ready.

However, this weight is a little different from what Evangelista XI had in mind.

"Your Holiness, you just reminded me. I almost forgot that there are not only those four Sarkaz in Kjerag, but also two more."

"One is Typhon, she's from Sammi, and this one you may not be familiar with."

“But the other one, he said, was an [old acquaintance] of Sakota.”

Evangelista XI raised his eyebrows, smiling, and asked, "Who is Prime Minister Ernst talking about? I don't have any friendship with the Sarkaz."

Ernst nodded with a smile that looked somewhat ashamed:

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"His name is Zafar, and he's a Tikkaz fire demon."

"Well, he really didn't know you. He just told me some things about your ancestors."

Evangelista XI's expression froze.

Chapter 332: Christen’s Declaration of Defeat: I Will Come Back!

Ernst seemed to say nothing, yet seemed to have said everything.

In any case, Evangelista XI was sweating profusely.

The overthrow of the Court of the Firelord happened thousands of years ago, while the rise of Sakota, the founding of Lateran, and the adoption of the Terran AD calendar only happened a thousand years ago.

In fact, compared to the long history of the Balrog, which can only be described as "thousands of years ago", the existence of Lateran and Sakota is so short that it can be listed with a clear number.

1094 years ago.

Everyone can be unaware of the weight of Ernst's words, except Lateran and Sakota.

Evangelista XI swore that he just wanted to negotiate with Ernst and get some benefits. After all, compared with Kjerag, who hosted the World Expo, displayed airships, and implemented the Star-Grabbing Plan, Lateran's gains were really a bit less.

Although he had accomplished the three main goals of accumulating reputation, rehearsing the summit of nations, and improving Lateran's status, and had earned a lot of gold coins for Lateran and signed a lot of orders, but people will die if they compare themselves with others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared with others. Who said that Sakota couldn't be jealous?

You are worried that your brother is having a hard life, and you are also worried that your brother is driving a Land Rover, right?

But who knew that Ernst was really not a human being!

I just casually said "V me 50", if you are really kind enough to V me, then I will accept it. If you make up a reason not to V me, then that's fine too.

What do you mean by opening my box just because you have a disagreement?

The last time Evangelista XI was so panicked was when he heard that anchors had appeared on earth, especially virtual anchors who used skins to broadcast live.

At that time, that thing started to take off in Columbia, which had the fastest technological development and the strongest ability to accept things, and gradually became popular throughout Terra, and naturally spread to Lateran.

The Sakotas naturally did not just sit there and watch this kind of fun. At that time, there was a Sakota who wanted to join in the fun and started a live broadcast in the city of Lateran.

She did it purely for fun and didn't even plan to make money, but the next day, people from the notary office came to her house and took her away. I heard that not only was her live broadcast banned, but she was also locked up in the notary office for a month with only food and drink but no sweets.

When I came out, I was almost stunned. I showed off all the dessert shops on the street that day.

As for the charges, the first is [live streaming without a license] and the second is [leaking secrets].

The fact that she broadcast live without a license is easy to understand, but why did she leak confidential information? What confidential information did she leak?

Good question, Evangelista XI remembered that the Sakota girl had asked the same question at the time.

The answer is simple, because it is confidential, we cannot tell you what secrets you have leaked.

Needless to say, this series of actions was naturally instructed by Evangelista XI.

There is no way, this thing is too scary and it infringes on Sakota’s intellectual property rights!

Did you know that Sakota is the oldest suit man in Terra? With a horn, a halo, a tail, and wings, hey, the devil turns into an angel!

It was 1094, and it became popular all over Terra, and was widely praised by the people of Terra. Today's virtual anchors are all poor imitations of Sakota!

Later, the virtual anchors existed for a while, but no one associated them with Sakota. Evangelista XI finally breathed a sigh of relief and introduced relevant laws and regulations, which opened up a new era of virtual anchors on Lateran's intercity network.

He once thought that there should be no problem. What the person in Sakota was was a thing of the past 1094 years, and it was a thing of the past. No one should be able to open this box.

Sarkaz? You don't need to care about ordinary Sarkaz. Whatever they say is just bullshit. They can also say that the ghosts in the East Country are also Sarkaz. Although they are indeed Sarkaz if you trace their ancestors, who will still recognize them?

It's the same as saying that people are monkeys. It is true, but if you call someone a monkey, he will probably think you are scolding him, and you will get beaten.

Justice has been cut off early!

But he obviously underestimated Ernst.

Not only did he get a not-so-ordinary Sarkaz... no, a Tikarz, he even managed to gain enough reputation to convince some people.

The two big guys from the World Expo survived. Kjerag said something next. There must be quite a lot of people listening.

Evangelista XI could certainly doubt the authenticity of the Balrog, but this thing was something that could be verified. Ernst was using it as a joke to threaten people, which was somewhat disrespectful.

No normal person would do such a thing.

Moreover, he couldn't bet that when Ernst opened his mouth and mentioned Sakota's identity, Evangelista XI had to think and weigh the issue based on "he already knew something".

He was certain that, thanks to the efforts of his predecessors in Lateran, including himself, anything that could link Sakota to the Sarkaz had been contained or destroyed over the past thousand years.

But the Balrog is a product of thousands of years ago.

No one was sure if he had left anything behind. Sakota was not a plowman, so he had not dug all over Terra to find it.

After thinking it over, Evangelista XI suddenly realized that although he seemed to still have a choice, he actually had no choice.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at Ernst, and spoke with some helplessness and fear:

"【Law】, of course Prime Minister Ernst can see it."

"But, Prime Minister Ernst, please don't say such things that are not conducive to unity in the future."

Ernst blinked in confusion:

"What is the matter, Your Holiness? Aren't we discussing the time of the meeting with the law?"

It's not that he is soft-hearted. The main thing is that exposing this matter will only harm others and not benefit himself. If Evangelista XI didn't want to get something for nothing and blackmail him today, he wouldn't have mentioned this matter now.

I hosted the World Expo and was present at the Star-Picking Project. Strictly speaking, Lateran does not get involved in these matters, but Ernst also wants to do it. But you guys signed the co-organizer's joint name, preached your Lateranism in Kjerag, used my platform to negotiate business, received rice, and even wanted to come back to my platform to take another puff.

Let me show you what I can do. The virtual anchor has turned around to rectify the platform. If you don’t put some eye drops on it, you won’t know that he is actually a fake person!

Besides, he himself had no evidence. This matter was just empty talk. If it was really confirmed, it would be troublesome.
