Compared with the ceremony of protecting the country, the ceremony of the coronation of the Lord Protector is very simple, even crude.
After Zhou Li finished communicating with Herinin and received the medal, Lord Protector Zhou Li successfully went online in Mosk. Of course, apart from them, only Eluma knew about this.
"Tariq is not safe right now."
In the car, Zhou Li looked at the traffic lights outside the car window and said to Eluma beside him: "This is the home game of Twelve Quarters, and we are the away game."
"Then what are we going to do?"
Sitting in Zhou Li's co-pilot, Eluma looked at Zhou Li sideways and asked softly: "Next, are we going to fight against the twelve quarters?"
"No, no need."
Zhou Li shook his head. He looked at the endless traffic outside the window and said in a calm voice: "We are not strong enough to confront Twelve Quarters, and Twelve Quarters have no intention of confronting me."
"Oh~"
Eluma nodded, stretched out her hand, gently helped Zhou Li tidy up his somewhat messy collar, and then asked softly: "Then what should we do?"
"Eluma, do you still remember your life experience?"
Release the steering wheel and the parking lot sign is not far away. Zhou Li did not look at Eluma, but asked Eluma in a calm voice: "Do you remember Gaia?"
"Um?"
The moment she heard the name, Eluma was suddenly in a trance. After a moment, she nodded with a clear voice, "Remember, the will of the world, right?"
"Yes, that guy who claims to be a world consciousness used Madam Rose's body to find you and me, explaining your life experience."
Leaning back in the chair, Zhou Li closed his eyes and recalled, "She said that you are a child created by the world and the world's darling."
"But where is your father?"
Zhou Li still remembered that in his previous life, he had indeed come into contact with a man who claimed to be Eluma's father, and found the "key" hidden in Eluma's soul and was reborn. But according to Gaia, her rebirth was actually Eluma's ability, but Eluma gave this ability to herself, so that she could retain her memory after rebirth.
And, most importantly, in Zhou Li's memory, the man who claimed to be Eluma's father was a god.
Kambal, the God of Time.
The reason why Zhou Li never mentioned Kanbar to Eluma in this life was not because he couldn't trust Eluma, but because Kanbar disappeared.
Yes, disappeared, completely disappeared.
Zhou Li had investigated secretly, but he could not find any trace of Kanbal, the God of Time, from the twelve moments, from the four major countries, or even from some small countries. And Zhou Li clearly remembered that in the previous life, although the God of Time was not counted within the twelve quarters, and was expelled as an evil god after the new era, he was indeed a god who existed in the world. Whether it's the church or the classics, he has his presence.
But in this life, no matter how Zhou Li searched or investigated, he could not find any trace of Campbell, the God of Time. He had never even seen the name Kanbar.
And one day, he found that he couldn't pronounce the name. ….Kanbal, the three characters are all the common language of the mainland in his memory, but he cannot pronounce these three characters. When he writes these three words on paper, they will be erased by a strange power.
Ever since his attempt to mention the word "Kanbal" to Gaia failed, Zhou Li has hidden this name deeply in his heart. He once suspected that the gods had erased the existence of Kanbar. But the problem is that the gods in this life have no reason to erase Campbell. They don't even know what use Campbell is. You know, even in his previous life, Campbell exposed the power of time when he was dying.
Later, after coming into contact with the Golden Age, Zhou Li turned his suspicions to the ancient gods. After Gaia appeared, he once suspected that Gaia had done all this, and began to test Gaia with words. But when Gaia made it clear that Eluma was the child created by the world and the crystallization of her soul, she would not exist at all.
After seeing other relatives, Zhou Li had another guess.
Kambal's disappearance was most likely his own choice.
But the problem is that Zhou Li knows very little about his father-in-law, whose identity is doubtful. In his memory, the last time his father-in-law met him was in the Eastern Third Courtyard.
It’s the Three Eastern Courts again.
The reason why Zhou Li talked about this matter was because of what Herinin said to him at the awarding ceremony.
"When I was traveling in the Three Eastern Courts, a person who claimed to be a Heavenly Master once said that Yin and Yang go hand in hand, just like the sun and moon, water and fire, time and space. Maybe this is what you are talking about about brave men and disasters. "
This sentence was very strange. At first, Zhou Li also subconsciously thought that this sentence was a magic statement from the Three Eastern Courts. But one thing he suddenly noticed was that time and space were very abrupt in this comparison.
Yin and Yang, sun and moon, water and fire, these are all opposites. But the question is, time and space, are they antonyms?
They are on two different scales, two completely incommensurable beings. In Herinen's words, the heavenly master put these two elements on opposite sides, which made Zhou Li feel a little surprised.
"Father?"
After hearing these two words, a trace of confusion flashed in Eluma's eyes. Soon, she shook her head and replied with a hint of curiosity: "I have never had a father. Didn't Sister Gaia say that? I am a child of the world."
really.
Zhou Li nodded and stopped discussing matters about Eluma's father. He looked at Eluma's pure blue eyes as bright as gems and said, "Eluma, do you believe me?"
This question made Eluma startled for a moment, and then she laughed dumbly, her eyebrows curved into two crescents, and a slightly angry but more trusting smile appeared on her face.
"certainly."
She didn't say anything "you don't trust me". Eluma looked at Zhou Li seriously, stretched out her hand, held his cheek, said seriously and without any perfunctory: "In this world, I will always Trust you."
"Even if I have to hide something from you?"
Zhou Li stared at Eluma and asked, "What I'm hiding is about you." Facing Zhou Li's question, Eluma stretched out her slender white fingers and gently touched Zhou Li's forehead. On her lips, she looked at Zhou Li with a gentle smile between her eyebrows.
"I didn't ask."
She looked at Zhou Li, the light fragrance lingering on the bridge of Zhou Li's nose, her voice was gentle, "It's not a secret."
Zhou Li was stunned. He looked at the girl in front of him with raised eyebrows and a smile. For a moment, the original depression in his heart left him. After a long time, he reached out his hand, pinched the bridge of Eluma's nose gently, and said with a smile: "Then I will hide it from you."

"I always feel it."
Sitting on the sofa, Ivey held a hot water bottle in his arms and said, "Isn't our state a little strange now?"
"really."
Lin Zi nodded and stuffed a peeled grape into the mouth of Ling Hai, then nodded in agreement: "Four hours ago we were studying how to prevent Tarik from being destroyed by a big bomb. Now we sit together on the couch and do nothing."
"no way."
Huang Yi, who was sitting upright next to Izzy to prevent her from causing trouble, rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "There is really nothing we can do now. Yinjue doesn't answer his prayers. We can't help him at all except donating money." . And the biggest problem now is that we don’t know what Yin Jue’s situation is, and we don’t know whether he is dead or has rebelled.”
Having said this, he glanced at Izzy nervously. Izzy looked at Huang Yi with a smile and said to him: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Huang Yi, I am not a die-hard fan of Mr. Yinjue, and I won't be angry."
"No, I'm just afraid that you'll find a reason to hit me."
Huang Yi's vigilance made
Everyone found a bit of humor in the tense atmosphere.
"Now our chamber of commerce has lost contact with other chambers of commerce, and the Commercial Church has also imposed an economic blockade on us. Originally, my schedule was all scheduled for the early morning, but now it's fine. I don't have to do anything. I'm not used to it yet. .”
Lin Zi spread her hands, and there was a little grape juice on her white and tender palms. Linghai on the side sighed helplessly, took out a handkerchief, pulled it over Lin Zi, and started wiping it.
"So are we."
Ivey stretched out his hand and said weakly: "After settling the refund and liquidated damages, we have nothing to do now. Apart from donating in the name of charity like Lao Huang said, Ain and I have nothing to do now. "qδ
"Don't be embarrassed."
Lin Zi smiled and said sarcastically: "You still have the entertainment of playing a five-piece regret game with Kaya."
"Five pieces of regretful chess competition?"
Huang Yi and Izzy on the side were stunned when they heard this. Huang Yi looked at Brother Ai, who liked him very much, and asked curiously: "Old Ai, what is the Five-Son Regrets Competition about?"
At this time, Ivey's face was as green as the stock market. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but Ain on the side instantly closed the book, controlled Ivey with a standard grapple, and then explained to Huang Yi with a standard smile: " The Gobang Regret Competition is a backgammon competition organized by our Mr. Ivey and Ms. Kaya. In order to take care of Mr. Ivey's intellectual disability, the competition organizing committee allows him to regret the game at will. Of course, Ivey can currently exercise the right to regret the game at will. Sir, I haven’t won yet.”… “I’ll go.”
Huang Yi suddenly laughed and asked with interest: "No, Lao Ai, who did you play chess with and was forced to do this? I, a barbarian from the Church of War, did not say that I was forced to do this by playing chess."
Then, he saw Aiwei, who was under Ain, starting to struggle wildly, as if he wanted to say something. But Ain didn't give Ivey a chance to explain his quibbles, and pulled Kaya over with a smile.
"With her, a twelve-year-old girl."
In an instant, Huang Yi's originally interested eyes turned into caring ones. Ivey gave up resistance in despair, lay down and let him laugh.
"So lively?"
At this time, Zhou Li and Eluma pushed the door open and entered. Looking at the salted fish Aiwei who fell to the ground under Ain, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "What are you playing at? Emotional promotion between brothers and sisters in the new era?"
"They are talking about Lao Ai's Five-Bang Regret Contest."
Huang Yi raised his chin and explained to Zhou Li.
"He is the only one who can do such boring things."
Zhou Li suppressed his facial features that almost changed, walked to the unoccupied sofa with a calm face, and then sat inside with Eluma. As soon as the released Aiwei wanted to drag Zhou Li into the water, he thought of Zhou Li's pink dream stick, and then he shut up obediently.
"Are you all free?"
Zhou Li handed a cup of the brewed black tea to Eluma, then looked at everyone and asked, "How is the business going?"
"It sucks."
Ivey raised his hand, seemingly showing off, but actually helpless, "They all gave up their plans to cooperate with us, and the reasons were given very well. Most of them were forced to do so by the pressure of the business church. And they should pay liquidated damages." Liquidated damages, refunds that should be refunded, nothing wrong with it at all.”
"More than these."
At this time, Izzy, who had always had no sense of presence, said: "At the twelfth hour, the attack on Tariq has already begun."
"Let's talk about it in detail."
In the exchange just now, Herinen did not specifically talk to Zhou Li about the offensive against Magnum at the 12th hour. It's obvious that Izzy, who now has control over Silver Jue's private intelligence network, knows more.
"The medical and legal aspects of Tariq are now the hardest hit. Fifty percent of Tariq's hospitals have lost most of their senior doctors, and their supply of medicines has been cut off, leaving only what was in their warehouses. "
Speaking of this, Izzy said with some emotion: "Of course, the Tariq government also took corresponding measures. They immediately conducted medical treatment on the day those doctors withdrew.
Township services. Because Mosk has its own medical university, Mosk's senior doctors did not suffer any losses, so Tariq dispatched these senior doctors who had gathered long ago to various places to maintain medical care. "
"Herinen's wrist is also very tough."
At this time, Lin Zi, who had been doing medical work, said: "On the day the Life Church moved, he closed down 126 Life Church pharmacies and warehouses on the grounds of disrupting market prices and abusing stimulating drugs. These two names It just pinches the lifeblood of the Life Church and forces them to accept investigation. Of course, it is estimated that the investigation of these drugs will not be completed for three to five years each."
"In terms of law, there are now dozens of companies making profits through legal loopholes, and many litigators have begun to attack Tariq's legal system. The most serious attack by these litigators is that Tariq has formulated laws based on his own national conditions, rather than Law established through the God of Law. It is clear that behind these litigators is the God of Law."
"In terms of education, all religious schools in Tariq have been closed, and they have announced internal adjustments to the twelve classes, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is targeted."
"Also in terms of business, the Commercial Church has also begun to implement a comprehensive economic blockade against Tariq and short-sell Tariq's currency. And Tariq's products have also become popular in countries like Magnum that have serious penetration of the Twelve Moments. Products with high tariffs. Of course, Tariq itself is a trade deficit, so these are really not serious injuries.”
"Anyway, Tariq is surrounded by enemies from all sides now."
