"Host, I have never seen a more touching farewell scene than this." The system said sarcastically.

The system always speaks directly, without the roundabout way humans speak, and its sarcasm is also very direct.

It's really ridiculous that they both have their own ulterior motives but they try to pretend to be so affectionate.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" As soon as Li Yuebai saw Xizel's aircraft disappearing into the horizon, his face changed immediately. He hurried down the stairs and rushed to the garden below the temple.

"I really don't understand what your next plan is." The system asked in confusion: "The system thought that you would detain Xizel and send someone else to rescue General Ares."

"I have already told Xi Zeer the coordinates. It is useless to detain him now. He can just secretly pass the coordinates to the Marshal." Li Yuebai said angrily: "In this case, the Marshal will definitely seize the opportunity and send someone to attack the mines."

"So you plan to..."

"Just say it directly, smuggle!" Li Yuebai roared.

He had never been so anxious in his life. He stomped his boots hard on the white stone steps, almost crushing them. The hem of his white robe fluttered annoyingly behind him, and the staff in his hand almost squeezed water out of it.

Life or death depends on this moment!

A small aircraft was placed on the open space in the center of the garden.

Li Yuebai opened the hatch and entered, started the aircraft, and selected the fastest speed. The aircraft rose silently and flew towards the fleet's base from another hidden direction.

The high priest of the Star Ring Cult also enjoys certain special privileges in the military, which can be seen from Master Richard's exercise a year ago. At that time, Li Yuebai found that he could enter the fleet's base without being questioned, and even directly enter some unimportant rooms on the ship, such as the lounge, but not the confidential rooms such as the central control room.

The relationship between the military and the Pope has been tense recently, but the marshal knew the high priest too well. He knew that the high priest was upright and never acted in secret, so there was no need to be on guard. Therefore, he did not block his authority.

In addition, Cecil had to pretend to maintain a close relationship with the high priest and did not want to arouse the high priest's suspicion, so it was naturally impossible for him to block his authority.

In fact, even if the authority is blocked, as a time traveler, there is no way to do nothing. Li Yuebai does have fewer cheats than other time travelers, but it is not absolutely impossible that he has none. If he forces the system a little more, he may be able to open a new cheat.

Li Yuebai controlled his speed precisely, keeping a pace slightly slower than that of Xizel, and arrived at the entrance of the garrison. Naturally, he met the guards guarding the entrance.

The guards knew Li Yuebai, of course. They saluted and asked with a little curiosity: "What's the matter with you, High Priest? Lieutenant Persephone's aircraft just passed by..."

Everyone in the military knew that Lieutenant César Persephone, who had been promoted very quickly recently, had a close relationship with the high priest and often visited the temple, so it was natural for them to be linked together.

If Li Yuebai nodded, the guards would immediately contact Cecil via instant messaging.

Li Yuebai still looked amiable, but his tone was serious and urgent. He said, "No, I have something important to discuss with General XXX."

General XXXX was a name that Li Yuebai picked randomly from his memory bank. He was a high-ranking military official. He was not too close to him and they had occasional contacts. He had recently arranged to meet and talk at a cocktail party. Li Yuebai was not afraid of being exposed if he asked about him.

"Yes." The guards saw that it had nothing to do with Caesar, so they didn't make any more trouble and let him go.

"Thank you." Li Yuebai nodded with a smile. The aircraft passed through the entrance and went straight to the ship platform.

Hundreds of ships were parked on the huge, boundless platform, densely packed, cold and terrifying.

"Host, do you know which ship Xizel drove to rescue General Ares?" the system asked.

"I'll remember it even if it's burned to ashes." Li Yuebai said coldly.

He reviewed the original plot from the system and was deeply impressed by the scene where Cecil assassinated Lei. He also remembered the ships clearly. The flagship was numbered BOX557, and the other small ships also had their own numbers.

At this time, Xi Zeer must have gone to gather troops. Taking advantage of this rare gap, Li Yue quietly sneaked into the flagship BOX557.

If we say smuggling, we mean smuggling. We do what we say.

"Host, you should find a place to hide now." The system said, "Wait until the spaceship approaches its destination before coming out."

"Of course." Li Yuebai was anxious, but he still tried to appear calm on the surface.

The interior of BOX557 is very spacious and clean, completely empty and with a panoramic view, it is difficult to find a hiding place.

Li Yuebai walked along the narrow bridge and finally arrived at the plant cultivation room.

There is a pool in the plant cultivation room, which is filled with clean water used to cultivate plants. Because it is too deep and lacks light, it looks black.

"Host, emergency notice, emergency notice, they have boarded the flagship and will be here soon!" the system reminded nervously.

Li Yuebai took a deep breath and carefully dived into the cold pool water.

Cold, dark, and damp.

The water attacked him from all directions, penetrating every hole, like a fate waiting for him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuebai heard a huge roar and a noticeable tremor; the ship took off.

It was dark in front of his eyes, but the system faithfully reminded him of the progress, allowing him to grasp the exact situation at all times. While listening to the system's report, Li Yuebai tightly gripped the staff in his hand.

Cecil sat in the central control room, staring at the screen intently with his golden eyes.

There is a red dot on the screen, indicating the coordinates of Reares, and several green dots represent his fleet. Now, the green dots are approaching the red dots at a very fast speed.

Although he was sure of victory, Xizheer felt a little uneasy.

In order to get to the scene as quickly as possible to carry out "rescue", he left the temple immediately after obtaining the coordinates, rushed to the ship's base, gathered all the people, and took off immediately. In order to save time, he did not conduct a thorough inspection of the flagship before taking off.

Now that I think about it, I seem to have relaxed a little.

Cecil acted decisively and ordered the soldiers to search the entire ship immediately and report any suspicious persons immediately.

"Host, they have begun searching the entire ship!" the system reported nervously.

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Li Yuebai said.

"It doesn't matter?" The system said anxiously, "Host, are you really not afraid of being discovered by Xizel?"

"Tsk."

Li Yuebai heard the sound of military boots getting closer and closer. It was the patrol soldiers coming.

"Host, they will find you." The system said anxiously: "This is just a pool, not a fortress. It cannot protect your safety..."

really.

The soldiers noticed the movement in the pool and quickly raised their laser guns, aiming at the pool, while shouting: "Who's in here? Come out!"

Li Yuebai curled the corners of his mouth under the water and forced a smile.

Then, he broke through the water with great difficulty and climbed out dripping wet.

He must have looked very shabby now. His long white robe was soaked with water and became extremely heavy. He wrapped it around his body dripping wetly. His long silver-gray hair was also wet. Water dripped down his cheeks, and at first glance he looked like he was crying. Only the staff in his hand and the star-ring necklace hanging on his chest could still identify him.

"...High Priest?" The soldiers were stunned.

This guy doesn't look like a high priest at all; he looks just like a water ghost crawling out from the depths of hell!

What's even more terrifying is that the high priest acted as if it was natural for him to appear on BOX557 for no apparent reason and that he had not violated any regulations at all.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for disturbing you." Li Yuebai stood still, smiled faintly, and said, "Now, take me to see your Lieutenant Persephone."

The moment he saw Li Yuebai, the expression on César's face was very beautiful.

Li Yuebai stood on the bridge, watching Cecil's ever-changing expression with interest.

"High Priest...you..." Cecil widened his beautiful golden eyes and almost cried: "Why? Why are you here?"

"I'm sorry, Cecil." Li Yuebai smiled apologetically, "I was really worried about you, so I followed you here without permission."

"Do you know how dangerous it is here?" César was excited. He ran forward and grabbed a corner of Li Yue's wet robe. "Our fleet may encounter a deformed black hole again. As a soldier, I don't care, but you..."

"But this matter has something to do with me." Li Yuebai's voice became softer: "Lei is my best friend. He is in trouble and I am worried. But Cecil, you are also my cherished junior."

Cecil's eyes fluttered.

"So, how could I stay in Amiens alone and shamelessly send you to take risks?" Li Yuebai stretched out his cold hands and held César's hand.

Caesar helplessly let him hold it, then turned to the soldiers and said: "Gentlemen, did you hear me? The high priest cares so much about us, we should serve our country with our lives."

"Devote our lives to the country!" The soldiers still couldn't understand the strange situation before them for a while, but since the lieutenant said so, they could only mechanically follow suit and shout.

"Well, there's no need to stay here, go patrol." Cecil sent the soldiers away.

"You are so touching. I am about to cry." The system said coldly.

"Your system is getting better and better at complaining, right?" Li Yuebai said irritably.

"But even if you must come, you should explain it to me clearly instead of hiding in the pool like this." Xi Zeer sent the soldiers away and turned back to Li Yuebai. There was a hint of coquettishness in his voice, and his eyes sparkled: "As the high priest of the Star Ring Cult, how can you hide in the pool..."

"You..." Li Yuebai sighed with pity and scratched Cecil's nose: "You will definitely not agree to let me get on the boat, no need to say more."

"Host, I want to vomit." The system cried, "You two are really disgusting."

"Bear with it!" Li Yuebai scolded secretly.

The two stood on the long bridge, looking at the endless stars outside side by side.

"Cizel." Li Yuebai suddenly said softly, "Do you like Lei?"

"Huh?" Cecil was shocked, then lowered his head hastily: "What? No."

"It's not a secret to like someone." Li Yuebai said gently, "Besides, there's no one else here."

"I just admire General Ares very much." Xizel insisted.

"If it's just admiration," Li Yuebai asked, "would you risk your life to save him?"

"..." Cecil was silent for a long time before he asked, "Does the high priest have someone he likes?"

"Me?" Li Yuebai frowned, looking at César with a complicated expression, "Maybe..."

Cecil's golden eyes stared at Li Yuebai's eyes without blinking, as if he wanted to see something from them.

"Respected High Priest." Xi Ze Er sighed and whispered: "In fact, I came to rescue General Ares entirely for one person."

"Who?" Li Yuebai looked at him jokingly, "It can't be me, right?"

"Come closer and I'll tell you." Cecil smiled charmingly.

"Okay." Li Yuebai smiled lovingly and lowered his head.

At the same time, César reached out and attacked Li Yuebai's neck.

This is not fatal, but it can put the person into a coma.

"Host——" the system cried out in surprise.

Yes, Cecil never forgot what his mission was.

Once the high priest is under control, things will be easier.
