"As an underground person, I will naturally consider the underground people. But the problem is that people on the surface don't know where the connection points are. If you blindly arrest people, you will only strain the relationship and put things into a state of anxiety." Edward replied.
"Don't know the connection point? Then how did they come to the underground world?"
"It's possible that he accidentally broke into the underground world by coincidence."
"How can there be such a coincidence?" The king looked unconvinced.
"Listen to me slowly."
Afterwards, Edward told the king everything about Jiang Wei's arrival in Lingming Village and Tianpeng and others' arrival in Lingming Village. The king was skeptical after hearing this.
"Isn't this too ridiculous? They entered the underground world in two batches. What a coincidence?"
"I find this coincidence incredible, but one thing I am very sure of is that they really want to return to the surface, but they don't know how they came here, and they can't remember which way they went, because they got lost along the way. I'm fascinated by the underground world." Edward was also very puzzled.
The king knew Edward very well. He knew that Edward would not come to the capital specifically and would deliberately lie to others, but what Edward said was really unbelievable.
"This is really ridiculous, even ridiculous. We have spent so much manpower and material resources, but we have not found the intersection connecting the two worlds. And they got lost in the underground world in two groups within two months?"
"That's why I say things are far from being as simple as imagined. If we arrest people recklessly and start hatred with the people on the surface, then we will only get further and further away from the truth." Edward said seriously.
"Are you sure you are not protecting the surface people out of compassion?"
"I will not specifically favor the surface people or the underground people. The purpose of Lingming Village is peace first. We can live in peace with ferocious beasts, and we can also live in peace with the people on the surface. To a certain extent, I and I You also want to know the connection point, and we have the same purpose. If you continue to doubt me, then I really don’t know the meaning of my coming."
Edward's words were so convincing that even the king had to be convinced. After all, Edward has indeed accomplished many things that no one could have imagined before, especially establishing diplomatic relations with the Dragon Clan. This was considered the craziest thing before, but Edward did it.
The king gave up his previous anger and changed his irritable tone. He also specifically explained: "I did not doubt you, and you misunderstood me. I did not intend to do anything to the people on the surface. I was just worried about them. He knows how to run away, so that’s why he made this move.”
"It's not that I don't understand the importance you attach to the people on the surface, but being impatient will only make things worse. And why don't you believe in my way of handling it? I have my own way of solving it. I naturally have my own reasons for not making public the matters of the people on the surface for the time being. .”
"I understand. In fact, I haven't made it public. For the time being, only the top brass of the royal capital know about the people on the surface." The king explained with a smile.
"If you are willing, you can rest assured and leave the affairs of the people on the surface to me. I will definitely find a way to find a way out for the people on the ground."
Looking at Edward's serious expression, the king was silent for a while, and then he suddenly stood up and walked slowly to Edward's side.
He pulled out a beautifully carved chair, let Edward sit down, and said, "Breakfast is getting cold, let's talk while we eat."
Edward was also a sensible man. It could be seen from the king's attitude that the king should have admitted that everything he had done before was very inappropriate. But the king is a king after all, and he will not take the initiative to say that he has done something wrong. As a king, it is a very rare treat to be able to pull out a chair for Edward.
Edward was not a person who didn't give face. Although the other party was once his apprentice, he was a king after all, so Edward followed the king's kindness and sat down to chat with the king over breakfast.
They chatted for a long time, and the two talked about everything. In addition to talking about the people on the surface, they also talked about the development of the human race in the underground world. It wasn't until noon that the conversation between the two came to an end.
"It's already noon before you know it. Let's stay for lunch." The king persuaded.
"No, it's rare for me to come to the royal capital, and I'll take this opportunity to visit some old friends."
The king knew Edward's temperament and no longer wanted to stay. He personally walked Edward to the door and watched him leave.
After Edward left, the king returned to the drawing room, looked at the few breakfasts left, and became stunned.
A girl who looked to be in her early teens and was wearing a maid's uniform walked in slowly. She did not say hello to the king, but directly started clearing the dishes on the table.
This maid looks very cute. She has bright red short shoulder-length hair and a pair of bright red pupils. But her personality didn't match the color red at all. She looked cold and her delicate facial features had almost no expression. At first glance, it looks like a maid-type robot.
However, with the king's financial resources, he is fully capable of buying an advanced emotional robot that is 99% realistic and knows how to cry and laugh. Only nerds would buy cheap robots that look cute but can’t process facial expressions.
While the maid was cleaning up, the king, who was silent at first, suddenly sighed and said, "Hong Ling'er, what do you think I should do?"
"This matter is too important, Ling'er dare not make any assertion." Hong Ling'er said as she put away the dishes, her face still expressionless.
"But it doesn't matter."
"Edward Vincent has made countless military exploits for the country, made huge contributions, and has a wide range of connections. I know that the master has nothing to do with him and cannot touch him. But the good thing is that Edward is an extremely loyal man. Master There’s no need to worry too much about him.”
"I understand what you said, but I'm afraid that Edward is too kind-hearted and will be taken advantage of by people on the surface."
"You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Edward's heart is not kind, but pure. He is now 200 years old. He has read countless people, can distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, and can see clearly the unpredictable nature of people's hearts. . Hong Ling'er believes that he can handle the affairs of the people on the surface, and the master can not interfere too much. However, what Ling'er said is just a personal opinion, and the master does not need to listen." Hong Ling'er carefully put the bowls and chopsticks into the bucket.
"So Hong Ling'er, do you think if Edward knew the connection point between the two worlds, he would tell me?"
"He will let you know that he knows, but he will not tell anyone the specific location. If he is still alive by that time, he will apply to establish the first pioneer village on the surface world, and when he feels that the time is right, he will I will tell you all the secrets." Hong Ling'er began to wipe the big table with a cloth.
"But you should understand that we may not have so much time. The situation on the ninth and tenth floors underground is very bad."
"Didn't Edward say something? He will definitely find a way out for the underground people. If conditions don't allow or get worse, he will definitely tell you the connecting point between the two worlds before he dies."
After Hong Ling'er said this, she picked up the bucket she had packed and planned to go to the kitchen.
"Wait a minute," the king stopped.
"Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Let other servants wash the dishes today."
"But I have always washed the dishes and chopsticks used by the master."
"I know, don't wash it again."
When Hong Ling'er heard this, her eyes suddenly flashed, and then she said coldly: "Instruction, refuse. Instruction, refuse. Instruction, refuse..."
Hong Ling'er kept repeating these words, and the king said helplessly: "Okay, you go and wash it. After washing, come to my study. I want to review the history of 220,000 years ago."
Hong Ling'er's eyes returned to normal and she replied: "Okay, Master."
At one o'clock in the afternoon on the 112th day of the apocalypse, Tianpeng, Liming and others acted together with the search team from Lingming Village and began a long journey to find the connecting point.
On the surface, Wangcheng in the land east of the river.
Song Yuan meditated in his room, his eyebrows furrowed. He had been divining Li Ming's situation for a whole day, but he still had no results. Until now, an idea suddenly flashed in Song Yuan's head, and clips of Li Ming began to pop up.
However, this kind of fragmented scene only lasted for two seconds. After that, Song Yuan could not reproduce the scene no matter how hard he tried.
It was now two o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Feng and Su Kouye were still training in the training room. Song Yuan had to report the matter to Cui Wei first.
Cui Wei is currently watching a TV show in the living room, which is Wangcheng's fashion show. After the apocalypse, a number of new fashion trends emerged, and there were some very special fashions that Cui Wei was very interested in.
When Song Yuan came to the living room, he saw Cui Wei looking at the fashions with great interest, and he had some thoughts in his mind: As soon as Cui Wei arrived in Wangcheng, she became like a rich lady, shopping and enjoying herself all day long, and playing with her former sisters (Meimei and others) when she had nothing to do. . If the apocalypse hadn't broken out and the world hadn't changed, and Jiang Feng was still a loser, Cui Wei would definitely look down on Jiang Feng...
"Hey, what are you thinking about there?" Cui Wei noticed Song Yuan.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" When Cui Wei spoke, she was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand and still staring at the TV.
"It's about Li Ming."
Upon hearing the word "liming", Cui Wei immediately stopped drinking milk tea.
"Did you divine Li Ming's whereabouts?" Cui Wei turned to Song Yuan.
"Not just Li Ming, but also Jiang Wei."
"What? I didn't tell you earlier." Cui Wei quickly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
"Tell me, what did you find?" Cui Wei was excited and nervous.
"Li Ming and Jiang Wei have reunited, Tianpeng, Jiang Hao, and Ni Lin are also there."
"Great, they finally found Jiang Wei." Cui Wei was extremely excited.
"But there are many strange people around them, wearing very strange costumes."
"Is there anyone else? Is it human?"
"The picture only lasted two seconds, but it was confirmed that they were indeed human beings."
"Why do so many people go underground?" Cui Wei was a little confused.
"I have no clue. Theoretically speaking, not many people will go underground, because once they get underground, the probability of getting lost is as high as 100%. No one would want to go underground and wander around."
"Let's go find Jiang Feng quickly and tell him the news."
"They are still in special training, so don't disturb them. The last time I disturbed them, Jiang Feng told me." Song Yuan said helplessly.
"This stinky Jiang Feng trains all day long. It makes me mad. Let's go find him. If he dares to get angry, we shouldn't tell him the news about Jiang Wei and Li Ming. We'll make him mad."
