205 Each Has His Own Thoughts (Part 1)
Just as Nico was boarding the earth-level warship, in the mansion of Count Hilda in the inner city of Sword Shield City…
In the steel jungle where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the Count’s mansion occupied 300 acres of land, which showed its prominent power.
Regardless of whether it was a technological civilization or a fantasy civilization, the extravagant style of the aristocrats was the same.
In the center of the mansion, there was a towering castle with a dome.
Two men stood together on the observation deck on the highest floor of the castle.
One of the men was older. He was a little hunched, and his eyebrows and beard were a little white. However, his sparse hair was still a stubborn golden yellow.
The other man was a middle-aged man with long eyes and a serious expression.
There was a 70% similarity between their brows, and they were both bald. One look and one could tell that they were blood relatives.
The two men were the head of the Hilda family, the First Count of the Norse Republic, Leandre, and his heir and eldest son, Qadeer Khan.
The Hilda family was very strict, and Qadeer Khan did not dare to neglect his father. He bowed and lowered his head.
“Father, Nico has already boarded the earth-level warship. The warship is expected to take off in five minutes. The entire warship and the teachers of the Norse Republic Academy in Sword Shield City are all under our surveillance.
“Of the clan’s seven mechas, we’ve also left two to protect the clan in case of any accidents. The remaining five are already in combat mode.
“The mecha masters have already boarded their mechas and are ready to set off at any time.
“In addition, the family’s three earth-level warships are fully equipped and on standby, ready to start.”
Qadeer Khan was extremely excited. In the process of his growth, all his battles were with his family’s troops, fighting with radioactive creatures in the wild.
This was the first time he had experienced a warship war between humans.
As the first heir of the family, he needed more bravery and merits to build his prestige and shut up those who doubted him in the family.
Therefore, he was looking forward to this battle.
Seeing that his father, Leandre, was still silent, Qadeer Khan asked tentatively, “Father, when are we leaving?”
Leandre closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying something shocking.
“Cease the battle mode of the mechas and warships. We’ll give up on this attack.”
Qadeer Khan couldn’t believe it. One had to know that war wasn’t something that could be fought just because one said so.
The clan had spent more than a month preparing for the war with the Norse Republic Academy.
A lot of manpower and material resources had been spent during this period. Now that his father said to give up the attack, all these preparations had been in vain.
His own contribution would also be gone.
More importantly, there was something in Nico’s hand.
Qadeer Khan was anxious. He could no longer care about the rules of his upbringing. He suddenly raised his head, looked at his father, and loudly questioned.
“Father, Nico has a treasure like the forbidden core in his hands. This is an existence even more precious than the forbidden mecha. Are you going to give it up just like that?”
Qadeer Khan spoke faster and faster. This was the first time he had challenged his father’s authority, and he felt better than ever.
“If we were in the Republic’s city, our family would definitely not be a match for the Norse Republic Academy. However, this is Sword Shield City, the Hilda family’s main camp.
“We have an absolute advantage here, and as long as we pay a certain price, we can get the forbidden core. If we retreat this time, how will our family stand in the noble circle in the future?”
Looking at his son’s anxious expression, it was as if he was looking at his younger self, just as reckless and fearless.
He sighed and said, “Just now, the Marquis of Blackbox called me and asked me about Nico.” Although he did not say it clearly, his words hinted at the existence of the forbidden core.
“The news of the forbidden core has spread, and the Marquis of Blackbox, who is thousands of miles away, has received the relevant information. Do you know what this means?”
Qadeer Khan straightened his neck and shouted, “In Sword Shield City, the Hilda family is the ruler. We are not afraid of even the Marquis of Blackbox.
“A treasure like the forbidden core will definitely cause all the forces to fight for it. We have to strike first and take it for ourselves. With the power of the forbidden core, our family will definitely be able to develop and grow rapidly, and we’ll be able to dominate the entire origin planet.”
At first, Leandre thought that his eldest son looked like him when he was young, but after hearing his irascible words, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He patiently guided.
“How much do you know about the forbidden core? Since the forbidden core has such a powerful effect, why did Nico not immediately grow to become a top-tier powerhouse after obtaining it? Instead, he had to hide here and there.
“As far as I know, the forbidden core is the core component of the forbidden mecha. It’s different from the forbidden mecha that has already formed its own consciousness. The consciousness of the forbidden core is in chaos.
“Humans can transfer their consciousness into the forbidden core and gain full control of it. Then, they can use the power of the forbidden core to create a forbidden mecha, thus achieving eternal life for their consciousness in the mecha’s body!
“More importantly, it is rumored that as long as there is enough helium energy, the forbidden core can split infinitely. As long as the family obtains the forbidden core, they will be able to obtain forbidden mechas in batches!
“As for why Nico wanted to hide, it is because he was an orphan, a muse that is hated by everyone. He does not even have a brain and cannot transfer his consciousness into the forbidden core. He also does not have enough helium energy.”
