If there was a better way, Stephanie Malick would never choose the delicate and fragile-looking girl in front of her, because Ruby's concept has been different from the outside world's human beings who have received universal education from the beginning. General Hale over the years
They are constantly emphasizing to Ruby how special she is and that sooner or later she will become a great person. Stephanie Malik knows that she was like this in the past, but her father Gideon Malik is more from a family perspective
, while she is clear about the power she will have in the future, she will also be clear about the responsibilities she will bear in the future.
General Hale has no family backing. Her true identity is a baby girl adopted by Hydra. She has accepted the utilitarian philosophy of the radical Hydra since she was a child. Stopping means losing value, and losing value means death. Now
The originally worthless abandoned baby climbed to the top of the United States' military power, but this insecurity still ran through General Hale's life, so Ruby only had the radical ideas taught by Dr. Whitehall in her education.
In her mind, if she and Ruby lose their value, then the man-eating beasts like the Malik family, the Lister family and other behemoths lurking under the water will eat them clean, even to the bones.
None of them will be left. For the only daughter she can trust in the world, she must create a perfect living environment for Ruby. General Hale’s idea is not wrong. The vicious competition within Hydra is indeed very cruel, especially in Manchuria.
Among the radical factions of the Youth and Strong Sect, the superiors allow the environment of the jungle among their subordinates to grow unchecked. As long as their own status and interests are not endangered, the life and death of the bottom of the faction does not actually matter. Although the conservative Hydra is also competitive,
It is fierce, but the final bottom line and trust are maintained, because no one knows which family will have the upper hand in the future, and maintaining the final tacit understanding is also for the survival of one's own family.
If there is no powerful force from the outside world that completely destroys all the concepts she had in the past, then Ruby's idea of being limited by the environment and the limitations of human consciousness will never change. Perhaps the emperor is also aware of this, and he also thinks that just
An afternoon's exchange was not enough to change Ruby's mind. Otherwise, the Praetorian Guards, known as "demigods" in Latvinia, would not have been sent here to provide her with confidence in action - in the superstitious world.
In the coastal areas of the Balkan Peninsula, when the Guards wearing gorgeous gold armor appeared in a village that had interacted with extremists, in addition to the young adults who were completely immersed in the criminal group, the elderly who had not interacted with the outside world at all would be suspicious of the Guards.
The appearance of Jun shows some kind of panic, yearning and admiration.
This is the actual situation written in the observation file and used as research material for the psychology of the Praetorian Order.
More than once, Constantine endured those old men who worked all day touching his cloak and armor with hands with dark, incomplete nails and countless wrinkles, and endured the irritability and ignorance of being called "angels".
After that, the Guards were able to learn from the old people staying in the village how many strangers had come to the village recently and who they were related to. Although Ruby did not have such superstition, when Stephanie Malik brought that
After giving her an exquisite pendant and stating that it was a gift and communication device from the emperor, her performance was no better than those peasant women who had never been shrouded in the light of science.
The eldest lady of the Malik family took the opportunity to pat Amon's forearm armor (which she could barely reach due to her height), and signaled Amon to read the emperor's order at this time. While Ruby was taking a shower, Stephanie
·Malik persuaded Amon to accept this method. If he acted according to the ideas of the Guards, maybe everyone in this base would die under the garrison spear, and there would be no need to even think about completing the mission.
When the Imperial Guard spoke, although Ruby's body was still tense, she was no longer as panicked as before.
"Can you swear that you will use your sword against all traitors who betray the interests of the human race?"
"I swear." Ruby said firmly.
"What if the traitor is your mother?"
Although Ruby was shocked when faced with the question from the Guards, she nodded after a few seconds and tried to hold up her chest to prove her ability and determination. Stephanie Malik and Amon looked at each other.
, shook his head, and then Amon took out a box of alloy scroll boxes that was as long as an arm for ordinary people. The scroll box had a golden eagle emblem and a mysterious number. These were several scrolls that Amon had brought.
One of the boxes.
"Put your finger on it." Amon pointed to a screen on the sealed scroll box and said, "It may hurt a little. That is collecting your genetic information to form a genetic code. You will open and read the scroll in front of me.
The task is then re-blocked so that no one but you can open it."
Ruby frowned and endured the slight pain of being pricked on her fingertips. After obtaining the genetic data, the negative pressure environment inside the scroll box immediately made a hissing sound. The long scroll was filled with beautiful Latin characters.
Ruby happened to have Latin in her course. "My mother betrayed humanity to the Kree?" After reading the mission, Ruby was still a little in disbelief, "This is impossible!"
"I know this is hard to convince, because General Hale always thinks that he is doing the right thing." Amon said solemnly, "The emperor needs you to use that pendant to send intelligence. Only in this way can you stop the situation from getting worse.
.”
"Why don't you tell her the truth now?" Ruby was a little angry. She clenched the parchment tightly, and the sweat from her palms soaked the rough edges of the paper. "You can tell her now that the Kree are all liars!"
"This matter is not that simple, girl." Stephanie Malik sighed, "General Hale contacted the hunting force of the Kree Eagles and followed the hunting tradition of the Kree Empire. Some of the things she learned
The intelligence was intercepted and analyzed by us, and we found that a lot of the intelligence about aliens was actually not wrong. In addition to humans, the Kree's targets on Earth also have their alien enemies. For us, as long as they are aliens, they are enemies.
It's just a difference in the priority of extermination. The enemy the Kree want to hunt is very cunning and can cause far more damage than that hunting team. Therefore, we need to get as much intelligence as possible. As long as you can
After completing the mission, General Hale will not only not be punished for contacting the Kree, but will be rewarded. This is a white lie, Ruby, General Hale's future is in your hands."
"Really?"
"On the honor of the Malik family." Stephanie Malik blinked and said, "Now it's time for you to make a decision, Ruby. Will you choose to be ignorant to the end, or choose to work with the interests of the human race?
"
"I...I will do it." Although she felt very uncomfortable, the sense of mission that followed overwhelmed Ruby's mind. General Hale's education made her look forward to the day when she would take on the important task.
But this responsibility does not come from General Hale himself. "I hope that my mother and I can be rewarded for our efforts, and more than expected, as the price for her being deceived. And I also need you to create something that can allow me to leave here."
conditions and provide all useful help for my mission. When I came here, I heard the soldiers guarding me saying that you came here on a forward-swept wing fighter that I had never seen before. I think my mission is worth it.
Plus a plane like that."
"That's more like it. If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought that General Hale's daughter would be a fool." Stephanie smiled and nodded. Now she has a little more confidence in Ruby. Hydra believes in selfish people.
Because it is predictable, selfless people are the hardest to predict because they will not make choices for their own benefit. This is also the reason why Gideon Malik has never been able to figure out the emperor's thoughts. All the emperor's actions are beyond
met Hydra's expectations, but obviously Ruby had no such idea. "Deal. After the mission is completed, he will meet with you and General Hale in person, and you will be able to get everything you want."
"This is a promise made by my lord." Amon said, "I suggest you think about your wishes first."
