Back to his residence, Alstai strolled into the bedroom. He lay down on his bed and turned the handle of the bedside cabinet. The floor under the bed suddenly sank, the end of the bed dumped downward, and there was a secret tunnel under the floor. When the bed was tilted at 45 degrees, Alstai slipped into the underpass without any effort. The sensor light of the underpass came on, and after walking through a not too long passage, the fat minister came to the end of the underpass.
A titanium alloy door blocked the way. After entering a series of passwords, the alloy door slid in and then slid open from the left to reveal a spacious space behind. Alstai walked in. This was a hidden basement. Thick and long cables were laid on the ground, extending all the way to the front. The end was a metal base with a barrel-like biochemical tank above it.
The biochemical tank is filled with light blue biochemical base fluid, and bubbles are constantly rising from the base, and there is a figure floating in it. It was a man, wearing only a pair of shorts, and his strong upper body had several obvious scars. A mask is buttoned on his face. The mask is connected to the top oxygen machine and other equipment. Its function is to maintain the oxygen supply and monitor the man's vital characteristics.
Alstai walked to the front of the biochemical tank, glanced at the various readings on the electronic board, and nodded. The man in the biochemical tank seemed to feel his coming, and the closed eyes under the mask suddenly opened, and then a voice sounded from the intercom next to him: "Did you tell Horn about it?"
"Well, he is calmer than I thought. I thought he would be furious." Alstai sighed: "The ideal is to stop Alan through our power, but even the clown wants to encroach on the power of the Twilight Son. I can only make the best move."
"If Old Horn knew that his old friend was an important member of the Guangyin Society, he would have a wonderful expression." The man in the biochemical tank said in a mocking tone.
"Do you want to say that I used Horn? Even so, but I don’t think I did something wrong. The purpose of the Kuanghyun Hui is to observe and guide. Now Alan’s behavior has begun to get out of control, and the clowns have to interfere. They All have deviated from the original intention of this organization. I just amended their impact. As for Horn, I know he cares about Alan very much. Although there is a part of the compensation psychology in it, you can’t deny it, Alan. The importance of is increasing day by day. For whatever purpose, Horn will not allow his most potential family members to be treated like this."
"But you also know that once Horn intervenes, things will be out of control. Alster, use your mind to think about the consequences of this. Perhaps after today, the Federation will Torn apart because of a hasty decision by you!"
Alstai laughed: "It's weird, you should be the one who is the least qualified to accuse me of this incident. But you don't have to worry too much, I know Horn too much, he will act, but there is action. Limited."
"You are really his good friend!"
"Of course. In fact, I hesitated all night before making this decision. Because apart from Horn, I really can’t think of anyone who can reverse the situation. The important thing is that I don’t have time to continue thinking about it. Horn is a good friend of mine. It used to be and will be in the future. This will not change. It’s just my position that determines that I can’t just think about it as a friend. I need to worry more than You can imagine it a lot." Alstai tapped the biochemical slot lightly: "In any case, I will save Alan Bethkode, no matter what method is used."
"Then what about me, when do you plan to let me out!"
"You need to heal your injuries."
"My injury has healed a long time ago!"
Alstai sighed: "It's not the time yet, my friend. You have to be patient. When the world needs you, I promise to let you out of this place."
"When is that, is the end of the world?"
"Maybe, who knows." Alstai waved his hand and walked back.
The bubbles in the biochemical tank are surging, and the eyes under the mask are angry, but the man is helpless.
Ugalle Castle.
Horn sat quietly in his place, on his knees, with the crutches of the famous sword Qiuyan hidden horizontally. He folded his hands gently on this crutches, as if he could feel the sharpness of Qiuyan's thin blade like cicada wings. A central light screen was opening in front of his eyes, and many figures appeared one after another in the screen of the light screen. These were all important members of Beth Kode. Among them are the eldest son Roddy, the elders Tyre, Edric and a dozen other people. Together, these people are members of Bethkode's Presbyterian Church.
Looking at them, Horn sighed softly.
After everyone attended this temporary video conference, Roddy was the first to ask: "Father, what happened to us in such a hurry?"
"There is something to announce." Horn looked at these people and said: "Everyone, the next thing to announce may be too hasty, you will feel puzzled and even angry. But I want to ask you to believe it. Believe it. Everything is a decision made for the future of the family."
Tal lightly coughed: "Please tell me, patriarch. I think everyone here is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Even if we are going to use force with the Federation, we will not frown."
Everyone agreed.
Horn shook his head: "No, I want to announce that it's another thing entirely. Then, all the members of the Bethcod Presbyterian will witness. From this moment on, I, Horn, will no longer be Beth. The patriarch of Skod. Even I removed myself and removed my name from the genealogy. The moment I walked out of this door, I will no longer be a member of Beskard. As for the position of patriarch, I want to pay Give Roddy a temporary replacement, he will take care of the family affairs for me..."
"What?"
"What's the matter?"
Rody exclaimed: "God, father, what are you talking about? How can this be possible, wait, what happened to make you have to make such a decision?"
Other elders also asked questions, Horn suddenly announced his abdication and exiled himself. This decision was even more surprising than going to war with the Federation. Facing the faces with different expressions, Horn stood up and said in a deep voice: "I hope to explain it clearly to you, but now I don't have time. I must leave immediately. As for the reason, I have asked the butler to organize a specific written document, which will be sent to you by then."
"Following the sentence just now, please believe me, I made this decision, considering the future of the family." Horn nodded: "That's it, gentlemen, I hope there is still a chance to meet. ."
After that, he left the meeting room.
Outside the room, Butler Heising looked at Horn and said, "Master, I have done everything you explained. Now send the information to the young master and other elders?"
"No, send it to Roddy first. I'll send it to Tyre and the others tomorrow. If they send it out together, they won't be able to fry the pan." Horn smiled slightly and said, "Butler Haising, you have worked so hard all these years. Many times I am not a competent manager, and this is also the case. I must have given you a lot of headaches over the years."
Hissing trembled, bending over and bowing: "It is my honor to be able to serve the master."
"Anyway, in my heart, you are one of my most important friends. I kept these words in my heart because it was inconvenient to say. But today I can finally say it, and I realize that I didn't even imagine it. Isn’t it so difficult? Okay, is my ship ready?"
"Already on standby in the square."
Horn helped the old butler and said lightly: "No need to give it this time, goodbye."
"Master!" Heising wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back, nodded and said: "Be careful about everything."
Horn turned around and strode away.
He saw Anna in the hall downstairs. Anna, who was still wearing a suit, held her hands behind her and looked into Horn's eyes and said, "Master must go?"
"Ten years ago, Lanni left me. And I did nothing, which ended up losing him forever." Horn kept walking: "So today, I can't lose Allen again. No matter what he is. The Twilight Son is still a federal prisoner. I only know that he is my family! No one can treat my Horn’s family like pigs and sheep, nor can the federal president!"
"But you have other family members."
"So I banished myself." Horn stopped and looked at his samurai: "Alan, I want to save, but at the same time I can't let the Federation have a handle because of this. Now Horn is just Horn, even if what happens today, it has nothing to do with Bethkod. If you understand, please get out of the way, Anna."
"I won't let go." Anna smiled: "Because I have to go with you, sir. Anna will always be Horn's secret warrior. This has nothing to do with his identity, just because he is Horn. "
"I forbid you to do this, you still have children." Horn shook his head.
"I know, but don't worry, I have arranged everything. Anna said solemnly: "I am a mother, but before I became a mother, I was already a warrior to the master. Where is the lord, I am naturally. Even if you are going to the darkness, I will follow. "
"This is my way of samurai!"
Horn took a deep look at her, nodded and said: "Come on then, time is waiting for no one."
This afternoon, the Federal Intelligence Service found that an unmarked airship was departing from Ugalle Fort and had not registered its destination with the Federal Bureau of Control, and then left Babylon. The Federation immediately dispatched a fast combat ship to intercept, but ruthlessly knocked the opponent down. When Alan received the notification, the intelligence department had already lost sight of the spaceship.
On the same day, Ugalle Castle issued a statement in Horn’s name, in which it announced that Horn had handed over the position of Beskod’s patriarch and expelled himself from the family. Since then, he has been with Besko Virtue has nothing to do with it. When this statement was released through the media, the entire Babylon seemed to have experienced a strong earthquake. Everyone was baffled by Horn's decision, and only a few people knew the deep meaning behind this statement.
Alstai is definitely one of them. When he received the news, he happened to pour himself a glass of wine. After hearing the news, he drank it all, but felt that the mellow and delicious wine had become extremely bitter today.
