Vol V Chapter 33
Speaking of this, Ma Ke's expression became serious as if he was thinking. He did not refute Colin's words. He clenched his fists as if he was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was not the City Lord yet.
Colin glanced at Mark. Seeing that he could understand, he took a sip of whiskey to moisten his throat and continued,"Morgan is extremely accurate in judging people's thoughts, and his guard is not low. Even if I cooperate with the research, they will suspect that I have tampered with the blood test. In addition to the Gorilla Disease incident, even if I absorbed the Gorilla Essence from the two dust dwellers, I would inevitably be suspected by him. Morgan didn't want to anger me, but he wouldn't trust me either. He definitely wouldn't allow uncontrollable factors to exist in Lighthouse.
On the other hand, Charles had always been brooding over my standpoint, so he had the Church of Light and Shadow's Law-Keeper (Big Dog), Shalev, to test me. Morgan knew about it, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he tacitly agreed to it. They were just trying to test my bottom line. After this test, I was worried that Charles 'methods would give me a bad impression, so I asked Charles to abdicate.
" In addition to my subtle relationship with you Desolate Hunters, Morgan has two moves to make.
Morgan tried to dissuade Charles, wanting him to relinquish his power. Once you take over the position of City Lord and get my support, Morgan won't be able to protect Charles. He wanted him to do this so that he could die a good death. If Charles could see clearly and resign, then you would also be the City Lord. Morgan could only choose to accept. This was the first step.
But…how could Charles be obedient? If there was a conflict, it would lead to the second step. The Church of Light and Shadow represented by Charles would have a conflict with the Desolate Hunters represented by you. Both sides would be powerless, and Morgan would support a third party.”
Mark was also very clear about this when Colin said this. Thinking about it carefully, he knew that Charles had been the head of the association for half his life. Not only did he not get the position of the city lord, but he also gave up the position of the head of the association. Would Charles be willing?
Mark pondered and couldn't help but think positively." What if Charles really gives up and only takes the first path? What will happen?"
Colin chuckled." It might allow you to take care of the Church of Light and Shadow, consolidate the hearts of the people, and recite scriptures with the believers every day. After all, you're the hero of the lighthouse. I think you won't be able to accept it."
"Is that so?" Mark seemed to be asking himself, but also seemed to be asking Collin. After a long silence, he said to Collin,"Thank you for saying these words. I didn't expect you to see through it so clearly…"
Colin smiled and drank the remaining whiskey.""You gave me a good impression. You have to be careful.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Colin got up and walked out of Beerbeer Bar.
Only Mark was still drinking beer alone at the bar counter…
Outside the Beerbeer Bar, most of the outer ring of the lighthouse was dark, and the power system was shut down on time.
It was a cloudy night, and seemingly thick dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the silver moon that was supposed to illuminate the lighthouse.
Colin's strong perception spread out. There was no one around. In the distance, there were city guards patrolling.
After observing the patrol pattern, Colin jumped forward in two or three steps. Under the cover of the night, he quickly bypassed the patrolling City Defense Army and arrived at the top of a suspended building.
There was no one in this hanging building, only junk, so there was no need to worry about the slightest sound attracting attention.
Colin stood on the suspended building and looked down. He could roughly see the wilderness below.
At this moment, Colin cut his palm with his nails, allowing two or three drops of blood to quickly drip to the ground below.
Although there wasn't much blood, the smell was like a locator, able to attract the attention of the Kabbalah Nurturing Tree, which would definitely send the Extreme Devouring Beast to investigate.
The reason why Colin did this was because he wanted to attract the high-level Extreme Devouring Beast, so that the lighthouse had no choice but to activate the central electromagnetic pulse cannon to deal with it, causing the lighthouse's power supply system to be paralyzed, so as to achieve the goal of escaping during the chaos.
The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Colin still felt that it was insufficient.
" I wonder if it can withstand the attack of the machine gun.'
As Colin thought about it, he quickly left the place and returned to the Floating Farm.
The journey back to the farm in the sky was smooth, and the Ministry of Agriculture was still working.
From afar, he could see that the signal light of the tower room was still on.
Before long, Colin arrived at the data center in the tower room.
At this moment, there was only a kind-looking old woman left. She was still recording agricultural data and did not know that Colin had arrived.
Colin quietly came behind her and watched her work. When she was about to finish, Colin said,""This needs to be changed. The quality index is not divided into first-class and second-class.”
" Hehehe," Colin's voice was abrupt, but the old lady was not frightened. She smiled kindly and happily changed Colin's opinion."I'm old. My eyes can't even see the screen clearly. Thank you, young man.”
Colin had always respected senior researchers. He couldn't help but say,""It's so late. It's better to rest early.”
"I just want to take one last look at my heart's blood. I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future…"
His tone was sad, causing the atmosphere to turn silent.
Colin was speechless for a moment. He recognized her as Lady Tara from the Ministry of Agriculture...
