The journey went surprisingly smoothly. Before Ma En and Zasna could react, they were already close to their final destination. Once they got here, it was almost impossible for anyone to intercept them.
This is already Votel's "jurisdiction". If anyone really wants to deal with them, they will definitely do it further away. That is to say, the mastermind behind the attack on City 9 gave up on intercepting them.
Ma En stood in front of the window of the aircraft, looking at the black tower towering in the desert in the distance and asked:
"Did they change their minds?"
Zasna stood behind him and stared into the distance and said:
"No, I'm not that optimistic. The Second King is definitely not the kind of person who will give up easily, and he won't make decisions based on it. Although until now, I still don't particularly want to understand why he wants to stop us, but He must have thought it over carefully, and he will definitely not give up halfway.
“When he supported us at that time, he encountered quite a lot of problems, but those difficulties that could defeat anyone did not scare him away at all, let alone now that he doesn’t even know that we have found out about him.
"As for why he didn't try to attack us on the road...
"Maybe it's because Walter's care did take effect. He may have said a few warnings, which made the second king give up the idea of intercepting us on the road and planned to find a way to defeat us in the parliament.
"But it's really good news for us."
Ma En echoed:
"Because we have a way to make him change his mind."
Zasna nodded:
"That's right, but we have to pay a little attention. Although it is impossible for him to dare to do anything in the parliament, I can't say what accidents will happen when the time comes. And you and I are different...
"We Titan Kings are not afraid of death at all, so the fights between us are sometimes very brutal, but after the incident is over we can all shake hands and make peace, but you can't.
"When you die, you die."
Ma En nodded:
"Well, I'll pay attention."
Seeing how calm he looked, Zasna couldn't help but say in advance:
"If you really encounter any problems, you can just teleport directly through the arm armor. Although the teleportation point I usually set must be in the special facilities in the Ninth City, that is actually because there are some special things here that are different from the outside world. Space rules, this is also done to reduce the difficulty of teleportation.
“But even here, this arm armor can be forcibly teleported, but because of the space characteristics here it can only perform one-way teleportation, and will be directly scrapped after that.
"If you really encounter that situation, just leave here and don't come back."
After hearing this, Ma En looked down at the arm armor in his hand in surprise, and then said to her:
"Thank you, I won't hesitate if that happens."
He didn't expect Zasna to be quite considerate. Fortunately, he actually didn't need this thing at all, and he didn't think he would let things turn into such an extremely bad situation, but he still thanked her very formally.
Zasna nodded:
"I believe you won't. There is no point in your dying here. And if you leave here alive, then in the worst case scenario, both of us will be alive at the same time, and there is still hope of saving humanity.
“Even if they do kill me, you don’t have to worry.
"Death to us is just the clarion call for the beginning of the war, and the formal confrontation will come next. The aftermath of this war can easily kill you, and you are not suitable to stay here."
Although she said she believed that Ma En would not do it, Zasna actually said this because she wanted Ma En to feel more at ease when she left. As a human in the past, she had seen many heroes and knew very well that many humans could do what they did. What an admirable thing, and this period of contact also made her feel how extraordinary Ma En was.
But there are real cultural differences between Titans and humans. Death has a completely different meaning to her and Marn, and she doesn't want Marn to make the wrong choice because he is unaware of this difference.
Ma En nodded:
"certainly."
While they were talking, the aircraft finally approached the black tower. Both Ma En and Zasna walked to the door of the aircraft and waited for it to land smoothly on the top of the tower.
And when the hatch slowly opened, what appeared in front of them was a figure that Ma En had never seen before.
It was a young-looking man. The moment he saw Zasna, he smiled, then greeted her and said:
"long time no see."
"Long time no see, Sixth King." Zasna also showed a happy smile, and then introduced, "This is the Sixth King and my friend. This is Ma En, the human I mentioned. .”
The Sixth King nodded, and then said seriously:
"The Fifth King arrived very early. I think he didn't want to meet you. The other Titan Kings also arrived at the meeting one after another before you came. I was the second to last Titan King to come, but...
"The Second King is waiting for you not far ahead. He said he wants to see this human being as soon as possible."
Zasna nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what he meant:
"OK."
After saying this, the Sixth King took the lead to leave the top of the tower and walked directly inside. Zasna did not follow immediately, but waited for a few minutes before walking inside.
Ma En did nothing, but used his eyes to hint that he understood the situation, and braced himself to prepare to verbally deal with the second king he was about to see.
When they entered the tower, the scene they saw was completely different from what Ma En had imagined. They just walked down the stairs a few times, and when they opened the door, they saw an extremely spacious and gorgeous corridor. There is also a spacious door that looks particularly luxurious at the end of the corridor. Obviously, the space here is not normal.
A dozen meters away from the corridor, there was a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground obediently, and the appearance of this figure was the same as the scene in the tower, which was completely beyond Ma En's expectation.
According to what he learned during this period, the Second City was a city composed of almost all mechanical Titans, and they also specifically advocated using pure metal bodies to show off, rather than using the flesh and blood disguises that other Titans would use.
But sitting on the ground at this moment was a young boy who looked completely made of flesh and blood, and Ma En did not feel that this appearance was disguised. There was no sign of any mechanical existence in his body.
The moment he saw them, the young man looked at Ma En, and then smiled cheerfully:
"Hello, my name is Victor."
