Even in his most desperate moments, Sean never lost sight of his goal.
He wants to rescue Aaliya.
When Alicia mentioned it, it made Sean feel that everything he had done was worth it.
He didn't complain because the female chess player could only start working on Aaliyah after she achieved her goal.
After all, various incidents are entangled in Ocean City, and he and the female chess player need to resolve the immediate crisis before they have the right to choose.
Now, not only does he have the support of the mayor of Ocean City, he even has the Daedalus Foundation standing behind him.
In this way, no matter how strong Judas Ring is, he will not face it alone.
Moreover, Xiao Ai’s previous record in the Alliance also gave him great confidence——
Together they can defeat even Rabbi Lins...
What about Charles Kennedy?
What about the Ring of Judas?
“I have arranged manpower to search for traces of Judah Ring and Aaliyah throughout the city.
"As soon as there is any progress, I will contact you through the chess pieces."
Sean nodded: "I will also conduct my investigation."
Knowing Sean's behavior, the female chess player reminded: "Once you discover something, discuss it with me first - you are no longer alone."
Sean suddenly remembered the feeling he had at that moment when he held an umbrella and set foot on the land of New Testament City for the first time...
Somewhat lonely and at a loss.
But now, that is no longer the case.
Suddenly I felt warm in my heart.
With a slight smile on his lips: "I will."
Alicia smiled and nodded, and then she took out a silver men's ring from her white handbag.
There is a delicate relief on the ring, which is the outline of a knight's chess piece.
"It's for you." Alicia glanced aside slightly, as if she wasn't used to such moments.
Sean felt the aura in the knight's relief...
Philosopher's stone?
Sean sat up straight in surprise and was visibly surprised when he took the ring.
"There is twice the amount of the Philosopher's Stone inside." Alicia narrowed her eyes slightly, "Be sure to use it carefully."
Sean looked up: "This is too expensive."
It's one thing to use it in a pinch, but it's another thing to receive your own Philosopher's Stone.
Not only because this power is heavy, but also, if Alicia wants to repay herself, then "The Eye of Labyrinth Island" is definitely a reasonable reward.
Alicia stopped Sean's subconsciously stretched out hand, and with her other hand, Sean held the ring with his five fingers:
“Although it comes at a terrible cost…
“But I believe that if it were you, you would make good use of it.
"Take it."
Thinking of the upcoming conflict with Judas Ring, Sean nodded slightly.
He wore the knight ring on the middle finger of his left hand, looking low-key and natural...
The ring seemed to have some kind of restriction, and was bound to his soul the moment he put it on - only his own will could use the philosopher's stone in it.
"In addition, if activated with spiritual power, the ring will have a permanent chess piece effect..." I don't know if it was Sean's illusion, but he noticed that Alicia's cheeks were slightly red, "You can use it to contact me at any time."
"I understand." Sean looked at the ring reflecting the silver light and smiled.
After seeing off Alicia and his party, Sean took the elevator and returned to the mayor's office.
The moment he walked into the door, he saw Nikolai Tesler sitting in a daze on the circular sofa.
Suddenly he remembered that after interviewing Verne, he saw Tesler who was like a puppet on a string, and the hairs on Sean's back stood up.
Fortunately, after discovering that Sean was back, Tesler came back to his senses and his eyes were flexible.
——It’s not a recurring nightmare.
At this moment, Yueguang and Yiwen were guarding the office, so of course nothing could go wrong.
Sean closed the door, and Tesler stood up and walked to the circular glass curtain wall inside the mayor's office, looking at the neon lights flashing in the dark green sea...
"Mr. Mayor, what's your next plan?" Before leaving, Sean and Tesler were chatting about this topic, and Sean continued to ask.
Tesler turned around - Sean found that Tesler was in much better condition than he was when he was morbidly thin on Maze Island.
Although there are still dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are bright and bright.
“I haven’t made up my mind yet on whether to ultimately shut down Ocean City completely.”
Standing in front of the swaying sea water, he said: "However, these immigrants were invited by me——"
The crazy scenes of that night at the "Golden Hunting Ground" flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but frown...
“It’s my responsibility to get them back to normal.
“So, what I have to do now is, I have to find a way to purify them and get them back to normal.
"As for what to do with Ocean City in the end, we'll see after that."
Sean nodded slightly - this is a more rational approach. If Ocean City is suddenly shut down due to fear of R'lye's existence, it may have unpredictable consequences...
Where should these tens of thousands of affected residents go?
Will they be brutally treated by the Salvationists?
These are all possible and serious issues related to many periods of life.
However, if Tesler wants to implement the "Resident Purification Plan", he must face a huge challenge - he must find a way to avoid Kluwetan's revenge or corruption.
After all, the "Utopia" is the source of the Kluwetan faith.
As an ally, Sean felt that he needed to remind the benevolent mayor: "I admire your responsibility. However, you must realize that doing so may anger the being in the Vinland Trench."
Take away the food of the beast?
I'm afraid there will be a terrifying counterattack...
Nikolai Tesler nodded, checked the voice and radio blocking functions of the mayor's office, and his eyes flickered nervously.
Sean suddenly realized that Tesler had something to say.
He couldn't help but sit up slightly.
"You are right, Mr. Dickinson." Tesler sighed slightly, "So, next I want to explain to you... some of the origins behind it."
Sean was speechless, just staring at Tesler, waiting for his next words.
Seemingly making up his mind, Tesler said: "You remember what I told you before on Maze Island, that I don't know anything about the Judas Ring, right?"
Sean nodded, wondering what Tesler was going to say.
"I lied." Tesler's shoulders relaxed a little as if he was relieved of the guilt in his heart. "I know everything about the Judas Ring and everything they did."
Sean couldn't help but glance at his companions. Everyone's eyes, including Olivia's, were fixed on Nikolai Tesler.
——He seems to be about to uncover the mystery that Sean has been looking for!
What was Judas Ring planning, and why did they capture Aaliyah...
as well as……
Sean looked at Tesler, who was standing quietly in front of him.
As well as the identity and position of the genius inventor in front of him.
Sean clenched his fists unconsciously, and his palms became moist...
