Before noon, David returned to his ship.
Of course, the spaceship they were on had been blown up. Chiyo and other people on the spaceship took a lifeboat and escaped from the ship before the explosion. Under the cover of the guards, they flew to the free navigation zone outside the orbit of Kinmen. Later, the combat team chasing "little escaped slave" Shen Han also retreated here to join them. Because David had an order "not allowed to enter Kinmen", the guards abided by the order and naturally could not take a step beyond the limit. However, they could not abandon their master and leave like this, so they had no choice but to wander outside the orbit of Kinmen and wait for orders. While waiting for a day and a night, Chiyo, the deputy chief attendant, transferred David's ship.
Perhaps as soon as the explosion broke out, it was a foregone conclusion that David's whereabouts would be exposed, and there was obviously no point in keeping it secret anymore. Chiyo, the deputy chief attendant, was furious and simply transferred David's official ship. Gu Hanhan saw a fiery red giant bird hovering in space from a distance, its wings spread out in the darkness of the universe, half golden, half bright red, burning like a flame.
"What a handsome spaceship!" Gu Hanhan was stunned and still grabbed David's hand excitedly through the mecha gloves, "It is modeled after Phoenix, right?! Is its name called Phoenix?"
"Its name is Phoenix. It was built on my sixteenth birthday. Hebrew said it was designed like a phoenix." David's voice came through the communication frequency, and then he asked: "What do you want? Do you want it to be called Phoenix?"
Gu Hanhan waved his hand fearlessly and said: "Don't Phoenix and Phoenix mean the same thing? It's better to call it Phoenix! Phoenix matches you perfectly, and the phoenix is such a good bonus, much better than Phoenix!"
In the void near the majestic body of "Phoenix", there are many spaceships, battleships and combat mechas cruising. Gu Hanhan originally thought that it was the guard fleet transferred by Deputy Attendant Chiyo, but after getting closer and seeing the signs on the spaceship and mecha clearly, he realized that they were originally the patrol fleet of the United Nations Peace Force. They should have received a report that a spacecraft exploded near the space jump point, so they came to deal with the accident and maintain space stability.
The space platform has been deployed at the entrance of the "Phoenix" spacecraft. Deputy Chief Chiyo set up the ceremonial guards as usual and led a group of people to wait outside to greet them. For these routine greeting scenes, David had always walked straight in without stopping. But this time when he passed by Deputy Attendant Chiyo, he suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to a man in military uniform next to him.
"How come even Admiral Fang is alarmed?" He said politely, "It's really hard work."
The man shook David's hand vigorously and smiled very boldly: "You are serious in your words, and they are all for the people."
So, David introduced to Gu Hanhan: "This is Admiral Fang Chuyu, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations First Fleet."
Gu Hanhan was startled and couldn't help but look carefully. He saw that Admiral Fang was in his early thirties, with delicate features and fair skin. He did not look like a good person. Coupled with the uniform of a United Nations fleet commander, the blinding row of stars on his shoulders, and his heroic laughter, the image is simply amazing!
Gu Hanhan thought that although Admiral Fang didn't look like a good person, Admiral Fang, who had just made a lot of money, looked at Gu Hanhan and turned him into a good boy. He took the initiative to hold Gu Hanhan's hand and shook it again and again: " This is Miss Hanhan, I've heard her name for a long time, but I finally met her today. If you have anything to say in the future, just ask, David knows that I love helping my friends the most."
Gu Hanhan naturally had no way of knowing that Admiral Fang was actually smiling at Qian, and was stunned by the commander's excessive favor and the weird "Old Fang". At the same time, I was also very confused. Isn't it just to deal with a traffic accident and maintain space stability? Why did even the commander of the United Nations First Fleet come here in person? If it were anyone else, Gu Hanhan would have suspected that he was here to hug the super-powerful nobleman, but just based on the attitude of Admiral Fang Da when he spoke, and the fact that he called David "David" instead of "Your Excellency David", it would be I know I can't! What's more, the majestic force of justice represents the United Nations, and the commander-in-chief of the fleet with a million troops occupying the inner sea of the galaxy. At least in the Exile galaxy, only others ask for him, and no one asks for others. For such a person, even if he wanted to hug the thigh of a superpower noble, he would not fail to hug him so obviously - this is a matter of principle that concerns two worlds!
Admiral Fang Da took the initiative to explain this later. It turns out that as soon as the spacecraft exploded, the United Nations First Fleet, which was responsible for the waterway and security of the Exile galaxy, immediately learned about it. When I opened the logbook at the jumping point, I found that the owner of the ship was David Duran. On the list of the United Nations Security Administration, "David Duran" was marked as an extremely dangerous element with the highest level of security risk, so he reported it immediately, and reported it to Admiral Fang Da.
There was no need for Admiral Fang to come in person, but it happened that Admiral Fang had finished his campaign against illegal immigration and smuggling, and withdrew his fleet from the front line to rest, near Kinmen. So Admiral Fang Da, who had just made a lot of money by intercepting and detaining the vassals of the Undersea Family and selling them to ambitious people all over the universe, realized that he had nothing to do anyway, so he decided to come and take a look in person.
As a result, two thousand fleets roared in, and the vanguard troops swept in in a semi-surrounding situation and directly took over all police defense near Kinmen. The only unlucky thing was Deputy Attendant Chiyo. On the one hand, he had to contact Lighthouse Star and deal with various aftermath matters, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the murderous Admiral Fang who came to the rescue. It was really miserable.
Deputy Attendant Qiandai did not want to see Admiral Chu, but Chu did not realize it. After simply explaining the reason, he offered to escort David back to the lighthouse star. According to what he said - "We're here, let's go together. I want to go back to Lighthouse Star anyway." David didn't refuse and readily agreed. The two chatted for a while and boarded the ship together. As for Fang Chuyu being a good fleet commander and not sitting on his own flagship, but going to stay on other people's civilian spaceships, which is against the rules. Naturally, no one would criticize Admiral Fang without opening their eyes.
Admiral Fang Chuyu was a fishing fanatic. After getting on the boat, he pulled David to catch big fish. As a young and lively beautiful girl, Gu Hanhan had no interest in such entertainment activities where sitting still was akin to meditating. After staying there for less than five minutes, she gave up and went back to wash herself off.
Kinmen is less than forty astronomical units from the Lighthouse Star, and the spaceship can be reached within breathing distance. As soon as Gu Hanhan fell asleep, the spaceship was already docking. At the lighthouse star's spaceport, Gu Hanhan finally experienced the queue-jumping treatment she had dreamed of. The moment "Phoenix" landed downward, the vast and boundless space port was silent, and all the entry and exit channels were empty. Below the spaceship, there were rows of lights, like stars. They were the lights from the vassal airships that came to greet them. Countless starlights converged into streams, and at this moment, it seemed as if the sea of stars was being trampled under their feet.
Hebra came to greet him in person, and Gal came with him. As a result, Chiyo, the deputy attendant, was finally able to get rid of the "Acropolis Mistress" and the bad luck caused by the "Acropolis Mistress", and be able to be himself easily.
David did not accept any of the vassal salutes and returned directly to the Acropolis. When the airship landed at the mansion, Gu Hanhan saw some naked and kneeling people behind the main house, on the stone road from the audience hall to the main hall of the memorial hall. They had been kneeling for an unknown length of time. Some of them could no longer hold on and were lying on the ground dying. Some even fainted. That situation looked really miserable. However, David didn't even look at them and went straight into the main house.
Gu Hanhan couldn't help but ask Gal next to him: "What's going on?"
"Those people are the patriarchs of the families who tried to harm you, young lady, a few days ago. They have been confirmed." Gal told Gu Hanhan, "Now they are repenting for the crimes they committed."
"Repent?" Gu Hanhan frowned, instinctively feeling that it was very familiar. It seemed to be a word that often appeared in the "Sacred Code". Gal had mentioned it before, and even the old monster Elder Bruch seemed to have mentioned it.
"Yes," Gal explained, "If a vassal in the family offends the master and commits an unforgivable crime, kneeling down and repenting in front of the family memorial hall is the only way to win back the master's heart. If their repentance is enough to impress the Lord of the Universe, God, they may be forgiven by their master.”
"So they've been kneeling here these days?"
"Yes, since you admit your crime and want to ask for extra mercy from the master, of course you have to keep repenting until the master makes a decision," Gallizo said of course, "Master has been with you these days and has just returned home. He has not yet made a decision. .”
It has been more than ten days since the New Year, right?
Gu Hanhan couldn't help but look back and glanced again at the naked penitents kneeling on the ground. Because he knew in advance that David was ready to pardon them, Gu Hanhan didn't feel how miserable they were now. Compared with the cruel expulsion, this confession is nothing. Can you be as kind as a Bodhisattva?
The crimes that can be deported can be waived by just punishing them by kneeling. This is a very good deal. Of course, David was gone for more than ten or twenty days and was punished by kneeling for too long. This was indeed very inhumane, but these people were not ordinary people. These patriarchs and gentlemen of the Acropolis are the worst but also intermediate superpowers. Kneeling on a nail board with a hungry belly and undergoing torture that ordinary people cannot bear is simply the same as playing. Although they are dying now and seem to have been tortured to death, in fact, if they go back to eat and drink and sleep in the sleep box, they will be full of life and good guys, and they can come out to harm others. Of course, it is indeed shameful to take off your clothes when confessing, and it leaves people speechless. Therefore, Gu Hanhan didn't do what he thought, said "Oh" and turned around.
Gal continued to explain: "This is a privilege that only nobles can have, because confession is done in the name of the family. During confession, the family must continue to offer sacrifices until the God of the universe is impressed."
Gu Hanhan was surprised: "A donation, what kind of donation? What are they going to use as a donation?"
"Of course anything they think is precious enough to be dedicated to the God of the Universe can be used as a sacrifice." Gal said with a smile: "Super-powered slaves, planets, manors, energy stones, and all kinds of rare treasures in the universe." , including themselves, the superpower family can only offer these things to the lord. "
Gu Hanhan was dumbfounded and shocked to the core - is this money a magic weapon or a get-out-of-jail ticket in the new era?
Gu Hanhan could not imagine what huge contributions he had gained from the confessions of these families during the dozen or twenty days and nights that David was away from the Acropolis. But since it is a "contribution that can impress the God of the universe," it must be able to impress the owner. So under such an impression, what other crimes in the world cannot be forgiven?
Even with the simple values of an Earth girl, Gu Hanhan can easily understand the ultimate meaning of this Acropolis-style "repentance". She believes that when these Acropolis aristocratic old gentlemen peel off their fine clothes, they will have nothing. When they knelt on the cold stone, they were indeed repenting with their lives. Every minute and every second they kneel here, their hearts are bleeding, and pain and regret will whip into their souls. This was so inhumane, she thought.
