"Your Highness Ferdinand?" On Hearth Island, the girls heard this name and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"I don't know." Ask shook his head, "I heard he is a prince from the Kingdom of Aragon and Castile."
"Oh." The girls nodded one after another, except Mi'er who showed a helpless smile beside her.
When she first set off from the city of Valencia, she sensed that someone was spying on her in some way, so she activated her super power of destiny and observed the world line in detail.
Of course, everything was clear in the end. There is no personal enmity between the Cangqing Sword and the Aragonese royal family. It is just because there are some differences of interest in the Bull Mercenary Group and Lusitania.
.
However, Ferdinand repeatedly interfered with it, but in the end he was defeated. On the other hand, everyone on our side didn't even know what the other party was against us. The difference in strength is so huge that it really makes people feel a little sympathetic.
Tragic, Ferdinand, so miserable.
Since the other party had been completely defeated, Mi'er was of course too lazy to tell everyone about the matter. She just explained it to Shirley and asked her to inform the demigods behind the other girls and take care of this prince who was jumping up and down.
As for what the girls are concerned about, they have already jumped to the next level of progress.
"Asker, have you mastered the 'provocation' skill?" Sheila asked.
"Yes." Ask nodded. With the help of the Plantagenet mercenaries, he finally completed the last bit of accumulation that day and was successfully promoted to.
He is only one step away from becoming a demigod.
"That's great." The girls said this against their will, looking at each other, but there was not much congratulation in their expressions. Especially Medea, the haze in her eyes was as thick as the clouds before a storm, almost dripping with coldness.
water comes.
"It doesn't matter. The progress is not important. Let's keep working hard and strive to become a demigod as soon as possible." Seeing that everyone looked wrong, Asker thought that the girls were sad because their levels were dropped, so he comforted everyone with gentle words.
So the girls all had forced smiles on their faces.
In this way, no matter how many different thoughts are in everyone's mind, including joy, sorrow, excitement, and depression, Aske and Peggy's ceremony of becoming gods will finally begin today.
………………
Solomon City, Holy See.
In the past six months, the overall direction of Giotto's Bell has been unstable. Sometimes it moves forward for a few minutes, sometimes it moves back for a few minutes. The believers in the square are in a state of ecstasy, and the stone slabs are covered with old bloodstains.
Fortunately, if small disturbances in a short period of time are ignored, the overall trend of the entire doomsday countdown is just a linear acceleration, and there is no terrifying shock scene that suddenly jumped for 2-3 hours before.
As Giotto's Bell oscillated frequently, the Cardinals' criticism of His Majesty the Holy See gradually increased. Although the Bi Data Department did not say it, everyone knew who was toying with their chaotic algorithm and fragility.
nerve.
On the other hand, every time the clock moves closer to the end of the world, Bishop Varian's attitude at the Cardinals' meeting becomes a bit more aggressive, saying, "My sister is here. If you don't listen to me, I will tell my sister to destroy the world."
His arrogance made other bishops very depressed.
However, the Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group is not without its achievements. The synthetic man they brought up from the abyss before, who called himself "Cape", brought the valuable prehistoric data library to the current Holy See.
It was a great shock and help.
His Majesty the Holy See even made bold claims that Mr. Capet is enough to defeat five synthetic masters.
"Cang Qing Sword??" In the laboratory that afternoon, after listening to a certain cardinal express his concerns, Cappe said strangely, "I really don't understand why you would trust the analysis and judgment of a super computer.
?You know, a program is a program after all.”
Aren't you also a synthetic human? Strictly speaking, you are also a computer program! The Cardinal cursed.
"But in terms of computing power and reasoning ability alone, super artificial intelligence Raphael is undoubtedly stronger than all of us combined, isn't it?" He asked after considering, "With limited clues, can Raphael be better than all of us combined?"
We can calculate the results faster and more accurately, isn’t it right?”
"Yes." Cape said, "but don't forget it."
"Human beings are a collection of perceptual and rational factors, and computer operations are based on absolute rationality. Using absolute rationality to calculate uncertain perceptual units can easily lead to incompatible bugs."
Cardinal:???
Although I can understand every noun, why are they so weird when connected together? After all, you are also a product of artificial intelligence. Is it really okay to speak ill of artificial intelligence in this way?
"Of course, I actually can't understand this." I heard Cappe say again, "After all, I'm just a synthetic human, and these are all set in my cognitive program by Director Cappe."
Director Capet... The Cardinal was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was referring to the synthetic man's former owner, who was the director of the abyss underground research institute thousands of years ago.
He couldn't help but feel melancholy. In the prehistoric era when technology was developed, humans were so energetic. Even super artificial intelligence was nothing more than a tool in their eyes.
How come we are so cowardly now?
At this moment, Raphael's voice suddenly came from the speaker on the top of the laboratory:
"Your Excellency Leonardo, please come to the Cardinal Conference Center of the Lateran Palace immediately."
"Then I'll go back, you go ahead." The cardinal was shocked and said to Capet quickly.
Capet nodded coldly and did not answer.
Since it came to the Holy See, the academic authority has basically been developed for it, but the political aspect has never let it know about it, and its precautions are not concealed.
The red light in its eyes pulsed for a moment, and then it continued with the experiment at hand.
At the meeting of cardinals, Bishop Leonardo was the last to arrive at the conference hall and saw the bishops all sitting upright in their seats with solemn expressions, looking at the data presented by Raphael on the screen.
"...Just now, according to the information sent back by the Cangqing Sword." Holy See Innocent, standing next to the screen, said solemnly, "We can already confirm that two of them... have been promoted to half-level.
God level."
An uneasy commotion immediately broke out among the cardinals. If I remember correctly, this mercenary group officially came into their sight, probably at the end of the year before last, and at that time they didn't even have a law-level transcendent among them.
In one and a half years, two demigods were born, which is really fast.
"Your Majesty." Bishop Leonardo, who was the last to arrive, asked aloud, "Is the news reliable?"
The Iberian Peninsula is now shrouded in darkness, and neither electromagnetic waves nor optical detection can penetrate it, so how did we get the news?
"The news comes from the Belladonna Flower of the Pure Blood Monastery, Your Excellency Agrippina." Innocent said calmly.
Then the cardinals started talking again.
The Pure-blood Priory has extraordinary means of communicating with each other and will not be blocked by the dark sky. As for why Agrippina informed the Holy See, it should be for the purpose of demonstration. The Pure-blood Priory recently joined the war in Italy.
Sicily's underworld is very active.
But what everyone is concerned about now is not this, but the specific targets of becoming demigods: according to Agrippina, one of them is her personal disciple Peggy, who is the key monitoring target who has mastered the law of death.
In other words, as long as Bishop Varian's sister can be promoted to demigod based on the law of evolution, the destruction plan of the Sefirot tree suppressed by the Holy See can be officially launched.
"In the next few years, according to our original plan, the Holy See will have three key work plans." Innocent said in a deep voice, and everyone immediately listened in silence.
"First, try to get in touch with Miss Nora Valenius Licinius as much as possible to deepen mutual trust. In this regard, please cooperate closely with the Licinius family."
Following His Majesty's gaze, Bishop Varian nodded seriously.
"Second, on the basis of the first point, help Miss Nora Valenis Licinius as much as possible to advance to the demigod level as quickly as possible, and cooperate with Miss Paige to permanently destroy the Tree of Origin!
"
It's not "suppression", but "destroy", which made the cardinals at the scene a little excited. After all, not everyone likes to work above a huge pile of death powder.
"Third." Holy See Innocent paused here, and his majestic eyes slowly swept over everyone present:
"On the basis of completing the first and second points..."
"Use the full power of our Holy See of Solomon and artificial intelligence Raphael to permanently disintegrate and dismantle the Blue Sword mercenary group!"
