After completing all the tasks, several people came to the Orchid Tower at noon.
Tio: "Last night when I was on a scheduled spaceship, I saw the flashing lights of this building, but when I looked up at Zhihu from a close distance, I deeply felt its hugeness."
"Haha, I understand how you feel." Lloyd said.
El: "It is indeed Crossbell's new landmark building."
"But how to build such a tall building? It is much taller than before," Randy said.
Ellie said: "This building has a variety of functions, including office areas and trade areas. It can even be said that the purpose of building it is to make it a center."
Randy: "Phew, that sounds awesome."
"It's easy to understand this meeting after hearing what you said." El said.
"After the completion of this building, I am afraid that the speed of crossbell gathering will further increase," Vaggie said.
"In this meeting, I am afraid that discussions will be based on this prospect."
"Well, I heard that's the case, but I'm afraid the issues at the meeting will not be limited to economic aspects." Ellie said.
"So, what should we do next? We have agreed with Inspector Dudley to meet at one o'clock at noon, but it seems there is still a little time."
Randy said: "Okay, go in and wait for a while."
After Lloyd and others entered, the interior of the Orchid Tower was quite amazing.
"It feels extremely luxurious." Randy said.
El: 'It feels a bit like the future world, even stronger than IBC.'
"I heard that all floors are equipped with power-guiding networks and are connected to the IBC."
"Well, these seem to be Uncle Dieter's ideas."
"It turns out that this kind of creativity is in line with his professional style." Waji said.
"Okay, let's find a seat and wait for Inspector Dudley." Lloyd said.
"There are no ordinary visitors today, so the sofa over there can be used."
Today, 1 o'clock.
"You guys got it right."
It was Dudley who came over.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lloyd said.
"It's noon now and the meeting is about to begin," Dudley said.
"Where are we going next?" Ellie said.
"Actually, I originally planned to take you around the venue, but there is an unexpected person who wants to take you there."
"Hey, everyone, you are here." Dieter suddenly appeared.
"Ah, uncle, why are you here?"
"Haha, I haven't seen Ellie, Lloyd, and the rest of the support department in half a month."
"Well, long time no see."
"Uncle, do you want to take us around the venue?"
"The memories will start soon, you must be very busy, right?"
"The preparations are all done. How about taking you around to change your mood, Dudley?"
"Of course, you guys must not be rude. Remember to come to the security room on the 34th floor when you are done. Then I will take my leave first."
After Dudley left, Dieter said: "Although he is a very capable investigator, he is still too old-fashioned. But considering his profession, this can be considered a plus."
"Haha." Lloyd said.
Waji said: "After all, he has to guarantee the title of ghost in the first subject."
"Okay, everyone in the support department, welcome to the Orchid Tower, follow me."
"It's really resolute." Tio said.
"Anyway, it's a rare opportunity to have an uncle show us around."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
The first thing we came to was in front of the elevator.
“It’s amazing, there are three elevators.”
"Haha, after all, there are forty floors. Counting the dedicated elevators, there are a total of 6 elevators."
"sharp."
Dieter said: "Let's go to the 4th floor first."
"Excuse me." Ellie said.
Several people followed and reached the thirty-fourth floor.
In the elevator, several people chatted for a while.
"Well, I've heard what Dudley said. The current situation is indeed very dangerous."
Lloyd said: "Yes, all kinds of forces. A group of demons dancing around."
Ellie: "The threats are huge, and there are mysterious people."
"Did he steal the internal structure of the Orchid Tower from the terminal here?" Tio said.
"Well, that should be true. It has been strengthened since IBC but it is still not enough."
Vargy said: 'But hackers are still rare today.'
"Does the prisoner have nothing to do with Ai Pu?"
"The director is investigating this possibility." Tio said: "But I feel that this incident does not involve people over there."
"The investigation can take its time, but what matters most now is what the big shots think," Dieter said.
"Are you talking about the Iron-Blooded ones?" Randy said.
"Well, Prince Ori and Princess Liber don't have to worry, but Smith and Iron Blood are both very dangerous."
"Yes, their fate is in their hands." Waji said, "What are their specific moves?"
"No, on the contrary, they were very quiet. I showed them the documents, and their response was so friendly. It was as if they sincerely hoped for peace."
"Let's all develop together or something."
"This is indeed very strange. You must know that tit-for-tat has always been possible before."
"Well, I don't know how the situation will develop during the formal meeting. We must be mentally prepared for the best and worst in order to deal with the severe situation."
"That's it." Tio said.
"This aspect is really too complicated," El said.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. McDougall will do his best to provide support. If everything goes well, he may be able to win over Doliber and Remi, so that basic negotiations can begin."
"Anyway, we are mentally prepared now and may the goddess bless us."
Lloyd: "I'm sorry to have to ask you to lead the way for us at such an emergency."
"Haha, it's just because the situation is urgent that I need to change my mood, so I specifically ask to lead the way for you."
Lloyd said: "Is that so?"
"It's glorious," El said.
"Then we'd be disrespectful," Randy said.
"Haha." Dieter said, "We're here."
When we arrived on the 34th floor, we saw a very spectacular view.
You can see the outside from the window, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
"What a beautiful scenery." Tio said.
Randy: "Haha, it's really the highest scenery."
"Haha, it seems you are quite satisfied. This is the thirty-fourth floor. You can just take a look at this building."
Then we visited the entire 4th floor.
We started chatting on the way.
"In order to deal with various situations, the garrison team has also sent people over and are on standby on the floor below."
"I heard that too." El said.
Randy said: "It is said that the Anshe players are all elites strictly selected from the fielding team."
"Speaking of the reporter, Ms. Ge** is also here?" Waji said.
"Oh, are you talking about the female reporter from Crossbell's Times? She is on the list and should be interviewed.
By the way, she is not allowed to leave this floor except during the reception time."
"That's it, it's your arrangement." Waji said.
Ellie: "After all, some people in this profession will conduct surprise interviews."
"When it comes to this, isn't the person most likely to do it just Ge**?" Tio said.
Lloyd: "If we find her doing this, we have to stop her."
Then we came to a room.
"This room is great."
"This is the lounge, you can take whatever break you want during your break."
"Okay, then you're welcome." Ellie said, "Come here for tea later."
Then, under the guidance of Shi Chang, we came to the elevator again.
Then came to the conference room.
"This is really amazing, the view is very magnificent." Tio said.
"The ceiling is so high, it seems like it connects two floors, right?" Randy said.
"Yes, because the thirty-sixth floor above is a U-shaped structure, and by the way, there are their lounges on both sides."
"There is a real need for this kind of floor."
"Next, let's go see other things."
Then we came to the rest area.
"I'll just give you a brief introduction. This is the rest area for the big shots. There are rooms with everything."
"Oh, when I walked in, it turned out to be very luxurious. Haha, it's really amazing."
"The purpose of this place is to allow people with hot heads to rest during meetings."
Finally we came to the outdoor terrace.
Tio said: "This place is so amazing, it looks like a miniature model of the city."
Randy said: 'At night, the scenery will definitely be more beautiful.'"
"Haha, I'm going to open this place to the public as an observation deck."
"It's a good idea, but you have to pay attention to safety." Lloyd said.
"Haha, I really want to bring Kia here."
‘At this time the communicator rang.
'It's me. I'll be there right away. I'm very sorry that I have to excuse you.'
"Thank you for your guidance, I'm really happy."
"A pleasant experience," El said.
"Then everyone, I look forward to your defense work."
"Well, in order to repay you, we will not let you down."
"I will pray to the goddess and wish this meeting to be completed smoothly," Ellie said.
"Haha, I will also pray."
After the time has passed.
"Okay, let's go find Dudley."
Tio: ‘He seems to be in the defense countermeasures room on the 34th floor.’
"Well, having said that, it would be nice if I could keep watching like this."
"Just come back when you have the chance," Lloyd said.
After that, the meeting started smoothly.
The big shots were all sitting together.
S Mike said: "I will preside over the meeting. The entire meeting is expected to last 5 hours, and there will be another break in the middle."
"Depending on the actual progress of the meeting, the time will be at least somewhat extended. Please understand. In addition, I have invited an observer this time."
"One is lawyer Ian, a very famous expert."
"First time we meet, I'm Ian."
"Please give me more advice."
"Haha, that's good."
"This is Arios, the famous guerrilla Wind Sword Saint Arios."
'I am Arios, please give me your advice.'
"Then let's start discussing the meeting right away. Let Chief Dieter speak first."
"Okay, first of all, please open the first page of the information I prepared for you..."
Several people on the fourth floor were on guard.
Met Mulla.
"Thank you for your hard work. Do you have one?"
"Oh, it's you. Although you can't be careless, there are still no problems so far."
"The meeting went very smoothly. If everything goes smoothly, the pressure on the prince will be reduced a lot."
"It seems like there's a lot of inside information..." Tio said.
"Sorry, we can't say much. Let's work hard together to do our job well."
"Okay, you're busy." Lloyd said.
"Oh, it's Miss Yulia."
"There are all powerful people here, there will definitely be no problem this time."
"Well, let's work hard together."
After visiting all places.
The first half of the meeting finally ended, and the big shots were interviewed.
Lloyd and others also got the opportunity to talk with lawyer Ian in the lounge.
"Oh, I see, you also joined the defense for various reasons."
"Yes, but to be honest, it is just a symbolic insurance for us to join." Lloyd said.
"You don't have to be modest. The things you have done are all amazing. As long as I see you here, I can feel very relieved."
"You are so honored."
"Haha, thanks for the compliment." Randy said.
"So, I wonder if you have noticed anything unusual?"
"Well, it's going pretty well so far. Several items have been taken care of. It seems that we are well prepared to hold this meeting."
"But what you mean at the moment is that you still have some worries?"
"Is that so?" Lloyd said.
"As an observer, I shouldn't say nonsense, implying that the first half of the meeting was all about business and economic matters."
"There will definitely be all kinds of exciting things in the future."
"Is that so? But you have to consider the treaty, which was signed two years ago."
"This belongs to Lieber but has nothing to do with Crossbell, so we need a very safe guarantee."
"That means re-signing a prohibition on force."
Lloyd said: 'Because of Crossbell's sensitive identity, this is only a small city that is recognized, so it can only be judged by people's faces.'
"Things are very complicated."
"Besides Crossbell, those other small cities?"
"No, they are different. They have a long history."
"Yes, Crossbell was founded too late."
Ellie: "From the teacher's point of view, this has also caused many twisted situations and tragedies. I guess they won't let Crosbell fully read it easily."
"I'm sorry that I have made you feel uneasy. But McDormand and the others also have their own countermeasures."
"Countermeasure? What exactly is that?
"I don't know much about this either."
At this time, Lloyd received the communication: "Sorry."
He picked up the communication: "I am a special agent supporting Koroyd."
"The reception at Lloyd's side has started. Where are you?"
"what happens?"
'The Iron Blood and Smith have made a request and said that they hope to meet you. You should go to the lounge on the 36th floor to visit during your break.'
"What...why is this? This responsibility is very heavy.'
"Stop being so nagging, go over immediately. If there is a problem, let Miss Ellie take action. She has long been used to it."
Hang up the communication.
Ellie asked: 'What's wrong?'
Lloyd told everything.
"What, this is actually happening," El said.
"Did they come to us for something?" Tio said.
"It's really weird," Vaggie said.
Lloyd said: "Let's go, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge." (To be continued)
