People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

This is indeed a rare occurrence. Agor's interactions with the mainland are extremely limited, and on an official level, this is unprecedented. Ernst has actually met Clementa's father?

This information is important and could potentially influence Clementa's judgment. However, the possibility that Ernst is lying cannot be ruled out, and it is necessary to verify it with the local authorities.

By the way, who was Consul Clementsa's father?

This realm certainly stores Clementa's resume and information, but Agor has long since popularized socialized upbringing. Whether Clementa was born into a privileged family and raised by her parents, or came from a social welfare institution, the governor is not omniscient and does not know for the time being.

He was just about to ask his assistant to retrieve the file from number 5 when he saw Clementine 6 solemnly leaning on the table, frantically shaking her head.

"Not my father, but Agor's [father]."

"He knew members of the prehistoric civilization. The prehistoric civilization did not disappear; not only are there ruins on the land, but there are also surviving individuals!"

"what?"

The governor was taken aback, and almost instinctively raised his hand to stop the "little helper" that was automatically recording the contents of this communication!

These self-service robots are now a very important part of Ager society, helping Ager people to be freed from tedious mechanical work and manual labor, so that they can devote more energy to fields such as art, literature, scientific research, debate, and naturally, note-taking.

However, sometimes machines are clearly less intelligent than humans. This is especially true in Agor, where the Agorians have intentionally limited research into artificial intelligence, particularly in the area of ​​simulating emotions, to highlight the potentially dangerous nature of "intellectual AI." This leaves these robots unsure of what they can and cannot remember!

Clementsa's words just now should obviously not be remembered!

After shutting down the assistant, the Emergency Management Officer looked up again, his expression changed. His tone was no longer gentle; it had become solemn and serious:

“Governor Clementsa, you should know that you are responsible for what just happened and what you said, right?”

“I know.” Clementine took a deep breath and nodded.

The governor was silent for a moment, then took out a pen from his pocket and pulled out a notebook that hadn't been used in a long time from the cabinet.

Even though intelligent and digital technologies have been prevalent in Agor for countless years, such products still have a market there. Many writers and artists simply enjoy the feeling of "presenting words (or paintings) on paper."

Zhao and sculptors could perfectly replicate a top-quality stone using data and holograms, and then "carve" it on which they can make minor adjustments, save and display at any time, but they still prefer to go out and dig for stones.

He picked up his pen and began to write down the contents himself.

"What else?"

The governor asked,

"What did he show you, what did he say, and what evidence did he use to prove that he was telling the truth?"

Clementa swallowed hard and began to recount Ernst's description of Hais.

Ernst didn't actually present any concrete evidence. He didn't pull out a skull of a pre-civilized human, nor did he unleash any scientific creations that even Agor scientists couldn't decipher.

All he offered was intelligence, which might sound like empty promises, but for Agor, it was invaluable information.

7. The origin of [Hai Si].

The truth behind the survival plan of the Deep Blue Tree.

The concept of "newborn" and the news that there are still several other "newborn" entities.

The existence of the Preservator, its name, and the opportunity to meet the Preservator.

That's all.

Clementsa was well aware that Ernst had not spent a single penny or used any "force," yet Agor, who was countless times stronger than him, had to take notice of this intelligence, turn away, and even be horrified!

Secondly, she herself is the best example.

This is truly achieving great things with minimal expenditure, and doing it exceptionally well.

Agor couldn't utter a single word of objection. On land, Clementa felt that no one but him could accomplish this.

Because, it's quite obvious, not many people on land know of the existence of the Preservators. Otherwise, their development would definitely not be at its current level.

That was a living pre-civilization. "An elder in the family is a treasure." This person wasn't just old; he was a true immortal, on par with the Creator.

Why is it that the entire Agor people, who actually amassed their fortunes by inheriting other people's wealth, still willingly call themselves the "eldest son of the ancient civilization"?

Isn't it because there's nothing shameful about being the eldest son of the "Creator"?

Jesus also had a strong sense of mission! He atoned for the sins of all beings!

They don't need to be pinned down; they just need to enjoy the benefits and mentor their underlings. They're still like the big brother figures.

No one expected that "Dad" would actually come back.

The emergency management officer took notes, his expression growing increasingly grave.

He thought that the Preservator was already quite significant, but he didn't expect that the content of the Deep Blue Tree was no less impressive than that of the Preservator.

Agor was severely weakened in the battle against Haisi, and even his original space program was ruthlessly interrupted. In the end, so many people were sacrificed, so many credits were spent, so many battles were fought, and so many cities were destroyed. You're telling me that we only took down one?

Are there at least three left?

After the Deepsea Hunters killed [The Newborn], Haizi's evolution did indeed visibly slow down for a time, leading many to believe it was a harbinger of victory. However, the Agor leadership knew that the victory was temporary, and during this period, Haizi's evolutionary speed began to gradually accelerate again.

Everyone had a vague idea that something might have happened to Qi. But no one was willing to admit it, and no one was willing to just announce these three pieces of news.

People have had enough of war. Agor is a nation that values ​​"individual life" and "human rights" more than "sovereignty," and the war has changed the lives of too many people, creating some fundamental problems within Agor.

But now, a person, a land dweller, has ruthlessly torn open this wound that has not yet healed.

"Indeed, this is not information that an ordinary land dweller could know."

“Your judgment is correct, Consul Clementsa. I will immediately report this conversation and its minutes to the Supreme Consul Council. Please wait patiently.”

The holographic image of Clementine showed her looking tired, and she nodded slightly.

The emergency officer cut off communications and then gave instructions to his aides.

"Come with me to find the Supreme Ruler."

"After we come back, we will all have to undergo memory erasure procedures."

"Understood." The assistant nodded.

His complexion was no better than Clementa's; frankly, he had no desire to know this information. He preferred ignorance to the uncontrollable thought of how Agor could defeat three [Newborns].

Erasing his memories was, in fact, a relief for him. It allowed him to believe without any reservations:

In the upcoming battle against Haisi, Agor will surely win!

"Which governor is on duty today?" the governor in charge of emergency affairs asked.

The assistant snapped out of his daze and immediately replied, "It's Lady Heratia."

P.S.: How were everyone's gacha pulls this anniversary? I only got one Wula after 230 pulls. I got Viviana, Surtr, Tshiseke, Suigetsu, and then Honeysuckle. I'm practically brain-dead from all the pulls. I haven't had a chance to read the story yet. The last one, Syracuse, was pretty good; I wonder how it is this time. Hopefully, the anniversary pulls will be up to par!

Chapter 776 Utilizing Agor's resources to win the favor of the snow leopard

The deep sea, in Agor's territory.

As a highly modern, no, futuristic country, Agor's governor is not actually that busy on a daily basis.

After all, they rarely needed diplomatic relations. All the nations within the ocean had long since merged into one through war, and the Agor civilization was synonymous with maritime civilization. Domestically, a well-developed bureaucratic system ensured that most problems could be resolved by local officials and legal provisions. As for the need for war, that was even less of a concern.

On this planet, there is no civilization that can directly confront Agor.

Well, until Haisi appeared.

After Wu Haisi appeared, everything changed. Following an initial misjudgment, Haisi evolved rapidly in a short period. By the time Agor truly realized what was happening, these monsters, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, were already capable of directly attacking Agor's underwater city!

The fall of the first city finally drew Agor's attention. Agor's leadership began to take various measures, including but not limited to large-scale military encirclement and suppression, small-scale special forces raids, and scientists researching genetic weapons. In some areas, they even abandoned, to a limited extent, the "super moral standards" they had upheld for centuries as one of the virtues and merits of civilization, allowing or tacitly approving the occurrence and rationalization of "sacrifice."

4. This led to the "Deep Sea Hunter" project, a plan that violated the Agor principle and involved extremely risky human modification.

Of course, this is also the official explanation.

What truly made Agor resistant to the Deepsea Hunter project was its very nature.

"Using genetic chimerism technology, Hai Si's body tissue will be implanted into the bodies of Agor people to create super soldiers with physical strength no less than Hai Si's. The downside is that the Deep Sea Hunters will inevitably gradually become like Hai Si."

"Our decision was based on considerations for the survival of civilization, and it was a necessary sacrifice that had to be made."

“I don’t want to use this as leverage, but my daughter did join the program. The day she became a deep-sea hunter, I was prepared to lose her. I was prepared for that.”

"So even though all the Deepsea Hunters went missing in that raid, my grief did not affect my work for even a single day."

Standing in her spacious office, Heratia faced the Emergency Management Executive through a holographic projection, her expression grim:

“Now that you’re telling me that Greta is still alive, I’m glad, but that shouldn’t be a reason for Agor to change his mind.”

“Agor must take the lead in cooperation. Governor Lapotios, do you really believe that a land divided into a few pieces can demonstrate a cohesion and strategic vision that surpasses Agor’s when dealing with a crisis?”

"We live on the same planet, but we are not on the same level of civilization!"

She paused slightly. After firmly stating her position, she knew that there was an even more troublesome problem than Goredia's—the problem of the Preservator.

To meet or not to meet?

Who should go to see her? Should someone from within the territory be sent? Or should Clementa go, or perhaps, should she go herself?

Goredia didn't consider it. Heratia certainly trusted her daughter, but after so long without her body being properly maintained, Heratia couldn't guarantee that Goredia was still Goredia.

For Agor, meeting with the Preservator was no less important than confronting the Sea Siren. As the Supreme Ruler, she wouldn't allow herself to be corrupt in such a situation. If there was even the slightest possibility that Goredia had been affected by the Sea Siren cells within her, then Heratia couldn't risk letting her earn that credit!

This is the same reason why she neither wants nor can allow Lu Di to gain the dominant position in this cooperation.

This is for the sake of the "big picture"!

But similarly, apart from the issue of dominance, everything else is negotiable; Heratia can be friendly and love the land.

Ernst Shivaesh, the boy who caused the changes in the land over the years, his origins and background are well known, but he has shown abilities and courage beyond Hera's imagination, and there must be some secret behind it.

This secret may be the guidance of the "Preserver".

No one would doubt that a product of a "survival plan" left behind by a previous civilization could possess such an ability.

After all, if what Ernst said is true, then Haisi, as the third-generation product of the [Deep Blue Tree] project, has almost overturned the entire Agor civilization, hasn't it?

After a moment's thought, she hung up the communication and instead used local channels to directly access the office of Governor Clementsa of Miriam.

She made the call.

Clementine's face quickly appeared before her. The blue-haired little manta ray looked as if she had just been awakened from hibernation, her hair was a little messy, and she was trying to muster her energy to face this local communication that she knew would come, but she didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.

Clementa noticed Heratia's face in the holographic image and a look of surprise crossed her face.

"Governor Heratia?"

“I did not come here because of Goredia.”

Heratia, in a businesslike manner, directly refuted Clementa's guess—she had thought that Heratia had taken on this matter specifically because she knew that Gretia was still alive.

Heratia set the tone for the conversation straight from the start:

"The [Preservator] must be seen."

【The Deep Blue Tree】 has already turned the ocean upside down, and Agor has suffered greatly because of the lack of intelligence! And the information Ernst revealed, if nothing unexpected happens, should mostly come from 【The Preserver】, this remnant of the ancient civilization must know more about the ocean!

Agor's reason for establishing contact with the land was to find the scattered relics of prehistoric civilizations on the land. Choosing a peaceful approach was also to avoid opening up a second front on the land, which would lead to being attacked from both sides.

Land-based civilizations may not be as advanced as those at sea, but even a single clam shell can cause pain and distraction if it bites someone.

Now, without them having to search, the greatest legacy of a prehistoric civilization is right in front of them. Even if the form of this legacy is different from the legacy they previously possessed and the one they were looking for, what reason do they have to ignore it?

Risk and opportunity coexist! This is the closest they've come to understanding and defeating their enemy, even if it might bring some risks, such as gaining a powerful ally.

But Agor is not afraid of any challenge!

It's just alimony, I'll pay!

Clementa nodded; this outcome was within her expectations.

Agor wouldn't let this opportunity slip by; she was quite certain of it. Because if it were her, she certainly wouldn't.

And another problem.

"What about Mr. Ernst?"

What are his demands?

Heratia countered with a question.

Clementine was taken aback, then realized that Ernst had indeed not mentioned any demands from the mainland during their last meeting.

She didn't ask, which is a huge mistake in negotiations, as it means the other party can use your reaction to the information to negotiate a higher price.

It's not Clementa's fault, really. Few Agorians can remain calm after hearing such news. Moreover, Ernst had completely taken control of the conversation. Unless Clementa did something outrageous and forcibly interrupted Ernst, she could only be led by the nose by him.

Obviously, she didn't do it. She was so weak and unsteady on her feet that she could barely walk. She wouldn't have had the energy for that.

The wine newspaper did arrange an office for her, but she didn't read the gossip newspapers on land, so naturally she didn't know about this.
