Chapter 1267 Maria

Virginia Alexander did not rush to the mooring of the Griffin as she wished, but chose to stop in a relatively safe area because he had to wait for Maria.

Maria is a woman, a very beautiful woman, and also the most beloved woman of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Nova had seen her before and understood her somewhat.

That is a very spiritual girl who makes a living and enjoys painting.

Nova has seen her paintings, in His Majesty's bedroom, in His Majesty's office, and in the hall of Servina Palace.

Her paintings have a very special taste, whether it is the cold moonlight hanging high in the sky, or the scorching sun, or the sails on the sea, or the migratory birds in the sky, they always give people a sense of loneliness and dissociation at first glance. It seems that through the painting, a self-enclosed girl can be seen, quietly looking at the world on the other side through the mist of time and space.

Through those paintings, you can see her soul, pale and haggard. Through that loneliness and dissociation, one can feel the distance between the world and that heart, which is as far away as the other shore said by Buddhism.

This kind of her is lovable... From a woman's point of view, one can imagine what kind of affection she would have for a person like Virginia Alexander.

Maria is not a local resident of the Durham star system. She has followed His Majesty the Holy Emperor for three to five years.

Virginia Alexander once mentioned that they met in a small city in the Fillmos star system.

She sat in the corner of the collective art exhibition and waited for someone to appreciate her paintings, and he stood in the crowd admiring her people.

He may not be a qualified emperor, but he is undoubtedly a passionate prodigal son... just like Bayern Torres, the leader of the Burning Legion. If life could be saved and restarted, he would still compete with that person for the poppies, but he would no longer force her childishly, but like the spring wind, he would remove her defenses bit by bit.

Virginia Alexander fell in love with her irresistibly, but he was unwilling to treat her like he used to treat his lovers, because he knew very well that it was the distance and separation that made him feel sad.

He didn't bring her back to the palace, nor put her in a place within easy reach. He just bought a painting from time to time, stood behind her from time to time to admire those paintings quietly, and said some words of praise.

He felt that as he grew older, the enthusiasm in his bones also faded away. This kind of elusive emotion like the wind is more suitable for him now, until he has been in a coma for a long time, and let the unruly wind turn into a longing .

With Tang Fang's rescue and support, Virginia Alexander returned to the country, and used her own prestige and means to pull back the disadvantages little by little, and now the situation is here.

In fact, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is really depressed, because Nova seems to be protecting him on the surface, but in fact it is mostly monitoring, and who is Marlo Smith? He is neither a radical nor a conservative, but a centrist, not to mention that he had contact with Tang Fang when he was the governor of the Alcasian planet. With Marlo Smith's intelligence, it is impossible to see It is impossible not to see the embarrassing situation of His Majesty the Holy Emperor without the tricks behind the incident... Then, the governor of the Durham star system who has sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Holy Emperor will really be at any time and any place. , Do you unconditionally obey His Majesty the Holy Emperor in everything?

He is like a marionette in Tang Fang's hands --- of course, his movement space is much larger than that of a marionette.

Virginia Alexander is very self-aware and knows his own situation very well. He is unwilling to become the puppet of Captain Tang, and he cannot change the situation in a short period of time. Therefore, he has been depressed in private for a while, unlike him on TV. So wise, confident, optimistic, and just...

This depression is like a delicate koji, fermenting longing, loneliness, loneliness, pessimism, longing, fantasy... into a soft and clear wine.

Naturally, Nova would not hinder Virginia Alexander from finding a woman, so with the help of Marlo Smith and the conservative ministers of the star system, Fillmos,

Maria came to the Durham star system.

People living in this world must have some kind of spiritual sustenance, otherwise they are no different from walking dead.

Virginia? Alexander is also a human being, not to mention that he has always been a sentimental, but not sentimental person. Maria is like a beacon, lighting up his life under the cloudy sky.

Now that the Anubis Legion was attacking, but he didn't see Maria appearing in the underground passage, he certainly had reasons to be angry, to protest, and to refuse to cooperate.

Nova's mood was very contradictory. From the standpoint of a woman, she admired what Virginia Alexander had done. Even though this guy is a villain and a hooligan to the common people of the Phoenix Empire, he can be called affectionate and righteous to his own woman.

But from the perspective of political standpoint and Tang Fang's interests, such behavior is undoubtedly naive and immature, which makes people inexplicably angry, and feels that he is too inappropriate.

In short, she walked towards the underground passage with very complicated thoughts.

In fact, when Virginia Alexander asked about Mary's condition, she had already sent someone to pick up the woman, but because the distance was a little far away and the target had already rested, the speed of action was slow, which was not at all what His Majesty the Holy King thought. , she would not take Maria's life into consideration at all.

Although Nova has always been cold, she is not cruel. Tang Fang is also a very benevolent person, and he has never done anything to sacrifice the lives of innocent people for his own political interests.

After getting out of the elevator, he walked towards the safety door ahead, thinking that if His Majesty the Holy Emperor gets angry again, he can only knock him out, and take the Griffin with strong means. The goal of the Anubis Legion is Virginia Alexander. As long as the lord leaves, it will naturally not waste time in the Durham star system. After all, there are dragon whisperers in the Hillenbel region. Don't dare to mess around.

The security door opened, and she continued to walk forward, and she could already see Virginia Alexander's back.

He's no longer arguing with Ghost, he's calm...the whole hallway is calm.

However, Nova's mood was not calm at all. She saw blood, which came from the ghost agent lying on the ground, and also from the black iron rod that pierced His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Bits of bright red slipped from the end of the iron rod, fell to the ground and fell into a puddle of blood, the sound was not loud, but it was very clear.

The complex emotions in Nova's heart were swept away, and her spirit was instantly tense, and she quickly raised the gun and sword in her hand.

When she took a step to the side and looked over Virginia Alexander's body to the petite figure behind her, her face became shocked and ugly.

Maria stood there, calmly looking at Virginia Alexander's face full of disbelief, just like she was standing on the roof of the Servina Palace looking at the cherry blossoms wandering outside the wall, without much sadness, and she couldn't see the impact on life The shock of reincarnation just stood there without emotion, drifting away from the world.

She understands now... understands why Maria gives people a feeling of loneliness, coldness, and independence from the outside world, understands why Maria is always so calm and looks at everything around her indifferently, and understands why Maria keeps painting, as if the world in the painting This is the world she lives in.

Because she doesn't belong here at all, her name, her life, her feelings... are all fake, only those pictures are real.

She was a ray of light in Maria's life, and she also had no self in Black 5's life, the only person who could warm her heart and make her realize that she was connected with this world... died not long ago.

That's why she had a very special air about her that even a man like Virginia Alexander couldn't help but fell in love with her hopelessly.

Yes, Maria is none other than Black 5 of the Anubis Legion and the only woman among the Abyssal Knights.

She didn't take part in the battle for the Montesk star system, her mission was to kill Virginia Alexander.

Nova has never seen Black 5, but as the bodyguard of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, it is very likely that she will encounter a sniper attack from the Abyss Knight. Tang Fang once provided her with information on Black 5, Black 6 and others, so when she saw the iron rods piercing the chest of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, she immediately recognized the identity of the enemy.

Both Tang Fang and Virginia Alexander himself felt that with the power of the abyss knights and with the help of the radical prince, it was very easy to get close to the royal family of the Phoenix Empire and poison their food, so much so that I never thought that in such a situation, the people of the Anubis Legion used the most difficult, troublesome, and bloodiest method --- beauty trap.

A hero is sad about a beauty, and so is an emperor.

It is undeniable that they succeeded. No one thought that Black 5 would incarnate Maria, and the powerful abyss knight would approach the target with such a feminine method, fooling everyone --- Tang Fang, Marlo Smith, His Majesty the Holy Emperor himself...and her.

Nova remembered what Tang Fang said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place." Now it seems that the dumbest way is sometimes the smartest way.

Virginia Alexander raised his finger with difficulty, and slowly tapped on Maria's forehead. A little blood stained the fair skin, which was very dazzling.

"Why?" he asked.

Maria did not speak, her right hand was slightly retracted, and the five iron rods running through her body retracted one after another, changing from tight to loose, hanging on the ground like silk threads, and the red flowing down infected the original black.

Virginia Alexander died without hearing the answer to that question.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Phoenix Empire died, at the hands of his beloved woman.

Nova didn't fire because the angle was bad. She chose to fight Black 5 in close combat.

Although the scene before her had shaken her emotions very strongly, she knew very well what her duty was --- to protect Virginia Alexander, even though she had thought of killing him more than once.

The blade of the gun drew a streak of blue in the air, and it fell towards Hei Wu's pretty face. The originally low-hanging silk thread stabbed upwards, bypassing the blade of the gun and attacking Nova's chest.

She could only retreat back to defense, change the angle of the spear blade, and separate those deadly threads.

Black 5 took this opportunity to retreat quickly and escape Nova's attack range. After all, he wasn't wearing a Gravekeeper-level battle armor, so he couldn't possibly be the opponent of the blond woman in a frontal confrontation.

She never spoke to her, but met him from afar. Although Nova didn't know her details, she knew very well that if the two sides met on the battlefield, there would definitely be a fierce battle. She also knew that the opponent's fighting will was better, and this was often the key to deciding the outcome.

"If I were you, I would at least tell him an answer." Nova said coldly.

"But you are not me." Black 5 looked at her face and said, "When everything around me is a dream, including the meaning of self-existence is denied, the answer...is it that important?"

She said these words very calmly, her voice did not tremble in the slightest, and her eyes did not waver. This is what she looks like under the mask, the most authentic Black 5.

"He deserves to die, but you shouldn't be the one who killed him."

Black 5 said: "I think just because I was the one who did it, he will go away calmly. At least during this time, I gave him a colorful life." The voice said: "Sometimes... I really envy him."

Nova didn't come to chat with her. When Black 5 was slightly distracted, she was going to take advantage of the situation to attack, but she didn't expect an unexpected accident to interrupt her action.

There was a loud bang, gravel flew and dust billowed, and the room next to it collapsed together with the walls.

The air became cloudy, the raised dust obscured the sight, and Nova was blown down by the shock wave created by the landslide. When she turned over and stood up, a dazzling beam of light shot into the fast-darkening underground passage, illuminating the swirling dust in the air, grainy and cloudy.

Black 5 retracted the filament, and his body was slowly lifted into the air under the irradiation of a beam of light, and dropped into the position of the rear light source.

Nova endured the glare and looked at it, and could see a slowly fluctuating light and shadow, presumably it should be an aircraft with the ability of invisibility. Judging from the momentum created by the airflow it ejected, this aircraft should be quite large, at least a hundred meters away.

She squatted halfway in the underground passage, enduring the rapid influx of airflow, and looked at Hei 5's receding face.

The battleship didn't stop much, because the EMP grenades of Ghost Agent and Ghost Agent fell on the hull one after another, causing waves of optical camouflage system, and malfunctions in some areas.

Not long after the stealth frigate carrying Black 5 took off, Nova glanced at Virginia Alexander's body buried in blood and dust, walked out from the underground passage, and stood under the cloudy starry sky, looking at the Hellbat slowly retreating from the sky. Destroyer, figured out one thing.
