20. Realists(1/2)

In the ornate mechanical palace of Archangel Hawen.

The low-level angel who was played with by the queen did not respond to the queen's appreciation.

Indeed, she made a bad mistake because of her nervousness.

Life living in this angel world will be instilled with this concept of "equivalent exchange" as long as you can remember.

This is no longer a racial culture.

This became a dogma similar to the lifestyle.

And in the harsh caste society of the Angel Kingdom, she had just missed an opportunity to change her destiny.

This opportunity may never come again.

This made the low-level angel feel a little disappointed. She saluted the queen, turned around and flapped her gray wings to leave the palace.

But at the moment of taking off, the girl suddenly closed her wings and remembered something that she had ignored. She looked back at the queen on the throne, and a sly smile flashed across her face.

As the archangel looked at him in surprise, the low-level angel walked back to the queen and half-kneeled there, she said loudly:

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I just forgot to say something important...is still about our 'guests'."

She was a little nervous and licked her lips.

She wants to use a new deal to get the lost opportunity back!

She said:

"If you can give me that gem, I will tell you a news that you must be interested in and is absolutely sufficient."

"Bang"

A blood-colored gem flew out from the fingertips of Archangel Hawen and accurately hit the girl's forehead, causing a bloody wound, and with blood scattered, it fell into the palm of the shaking angel's hand.

The queen said coldly:

"This is to punish you for hiding it, but... I'm in a good mood, let's talk about it."

"But you have to be cautious, child, if your information is insufficient, you will be thrown into prison for deceiving the upper class, take off your wings, and become a more humble wingless person..."

"You will definitely be satisfied with my news."

The low-level hunter with a headache didn't dare to wipe the wound. She put away the priceless gems and said seriously:

"One of our two guests is Angela... The most powerful warrior in the Kingdom of Angels, who disappeared last month in the Lost Woodlands, and was the leader of the hunter we consider dead."

"She is back, Your Majesty, your most powerful warrior, is back..."

"Um?"

Haiwen's beautiful eyes immediately narrowed.

Angela, that was the trouble left behind after her unsuccessful threat.

After the angel kingdom was exiled, she once wanted to kill the baby, but in the end, the head of the hunter who was in charge of the execution at that time felt a sense of compassion that should not have, and the powerful seraphimony secretly adopted Angela.

And without the Queen's knowledge, Angela was trained to become the deadliest assassin.

After the incident, the seraph was deprived of all his property and identity, and was devoted to the most cruel war, and finally died, but Angela was retained.

Hawen regarded her as a deadly weapon, a deadly weapon specially reserved for Odin, the King of Nothing.

Angela did not disappoint her adoptive mother's expectations. She kept making great contributions to the Angel Kingdom's battles in this world, and with the help of successful transactions again and again, she pushed herself to the noble position of the head of the hunter.

That is equivalent to the position of a general under the Queen.

However, a few months ago, Angela's adventure in the Lost Jungle made her completely disappear. The Queen thought she was dead, but she was a little sad at that time.

But unexpectedly, the little wolf cub from the Odin family could come back alive.

"You, then I'll go and see her in person."

Archangel Hawen stood up, and the maid beside her immediately gave her a gorgeous golden armor.

During the process of changing clothes, Haiwen was thinking about another thing.

Angela undoubtedly has no ability to travel through the void, that is, the stranger who came back with her has the ability to break the barriers between reality and void.

Then, the hope of leaving this world is probably on him.

Well, it seems that you need to think carefully and strive to make a deal that is beneficial to you.

——————————————

Angels built many cities in this world.

Even if Merlin looked at the buildings standing in the cities with the most picky attitude, he could not feel the inherent cold and dead silence of steel creation.

On the contrary, the appearance of those buildings is full of elegant artistic sense.

This is probably the racial talent of these angels.

The metal buildings are not angular, but streamlined, like ceramic treasures pinched by the most skilled mason.

The gorgeous buildings have windows with ancient beauty, just like skylights opened in palaces by medieval kings.

The ancient and modern are perfectly combined.

And the tops of the metal palaces towering above the city, there are large hanging rings circling around them.

It's like some kind of energy collection device with a futuristic sense of technology.

It has a strong sense of beauty and visual impact, especially those well-organized energy channels in steel cities, emitting blue light, like gems embedded in the city piece by piece.

There are also those slender, stinging metal modules, located around the city, and each block has such a spire-like module, which in Merlin's eyes constitutes some kind of energy defense and offensive equipment.

This metal city also has lush forests and flowers, beautiful large fountains, and carefully dug ditches, like blood vessels on the skeleton of the city, sending clear water to every part of the city.

It looks like a landscape planned in advance during urban construction.

Merlin and Angela didn't fly too fast, giving him enough time to appreciate these machinery and steel from the sky.

It has to be said that although the form of this city is far from the angel kingdom that Merlin imagined, if we look at it from the outside, the city can indeed be called beautiful, elegant and spectacular.

The magnificent kingdom of God is like a machine.

"My Icarus and her followers really should come here to check it out."

Merlin looked back at the city behind the plains and said softly:

"They are satisfactory with the progress of the wasteland construction, but their artistic quality is a little less. These cities are the future I imagined... Although for robots, such complex designs are just a waste of resources, how can I say it."

The Raven Lord shrugged, and he said to Angela beside him:

"No one wants their country to be a steel box with no aesthetic sense. Occasionally, looking at such gorgeous buildings can make people feel happy."

But Angela did not respond to the thought of the Maharaja. Instead, there was a light of thought on her face.

Angela kept thinking this way after leaving the forest.

"What do you think?"

The Raven Lord asked:

"Tell me, maybe I can give you an answer?"

Angela pursed her lips, and after a moment, she spoke:

"About the God you said, the Lord who created all the angels, if all you said is true, if the angels here really come from heaven, then why have I never heard of him in this world since I can remember?"

"Because their beliefs were shattered before you remember, the time flow rate in this place is obviously problematic, much slower than outside."

Merlin raised his head and looked at the mechanical castle on the distant mountains, and he said calmly:

"And when you pray to something you believe in, when you try your best to save yourself by faith, and persist for a long time, but you get nothing, you will naturally consider some more realistic issues."

"A sincere faith will naturally be shattered."

"Not to mention these lives born in heaven, faith is everything about them, the reason for their birth, but being exiled to the void and unable to sense the existence of God anymore, this pain will make them no stronger than ordinary people."

"The redemption they are looking forward to will not come for a long time. In despair, they struggle to survive in a strange world. Faith cannot make them eat and wear warmly, and will seriously affect their minds, so they will naturally become the most valuable thing."

“That was the first to be abandoned.”

The Raven shook his head and said:

"What was abandoned was all kinds of things that had no meaning. After all the gorgeous cloaks were thrown away, the angels formed a harsh and strict caste society in the strange world."

"As you said, the angel kingdom believes in fair trading and regards equivalent trading as the first creed of life."

Merlin looked into the distance and continued:

"They bury their beliefs, transformed to the other extreme, became extremely realistic, and treated everything as a transaction... but this is actually a good thing."

"If they were really that realistic, my next job would be much easier."

"Something is coming!"

Angela looked up at the distance. In this world without clouds obscuring her vision, there was no tactical obscuring.

As Angela's gaze, two predatory spacecraft with 6 mechanical limbs growing, with a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere, flew towards her and Merlin.

"I've discovered it long ago."
