Chapter 89 second quarter

Speaker Stowe Candiber is back in his spaceship, and he should feel smug in every way.Although the encounter with the first base was not long, the results were extremely fruitful. He had sent out a report that was as minimally smug as possible.For the time being, it is only necessary to let the Chief Speaker know that all is well (in fact, since the overall strength of the Second Base has not been engaged, he should have guessed this long ago), and the details can be left to be elaborated at a later date. In time, he would describe how carefully he had made the smallest adjustments to Mayor Burano's mind, changing her thinking from an imperialist grand vision to a pragmatic mindset that only wanted a trade treaty.And how he cautiously adjusted the minds of the leaders of the Seychelle Alliance from a considerable distance, allowing him to actively invite the mayor to negotiate.Then, how the two parties successfully reached a settlement without further mental adjustment; and Comm returned to Terminus in his own spaceship to ensure that the mayor would abide by the agreement.This, thought Candibe proudly, was a classic storybook example—a little trick of psychomechanics leading to big results.

He was absolutely certain that, when he had reported these details at the formal roundtables, Drami speakers would soon be completely down, and he himself would soon be crowned chief speaker. In no way did he deny the importance of Sura Novi, but this did not need to be emphasized in front of the other speakers.Not only was she a key contributor to his victory, but she now gives him an excuse to jump like a child before accepting formal praise (which is also very human, since speakers are in many ways the same as ordinary people are no different). Of course he understood that she didn't understand what had happened recently, but at least she could see that he had arranged everything to his liking, so she burst out with pride.As he caressed her smooth heart, he could feel the heat of pride.

He said, "I couldn't have done it without you, Novi. With you by my side, I'm only aware of First Base—those people on the big spaceships . . . " "Yes, master, I know who you are referring to." "Because you were by my side, I was able to perceive that they had shields and had weak psychic powers. Through the effects produced by your mind, I was able to identify the characteristics of both, and then discovered how to use them most effectively. way of perforating the former and biasing the latter." Novi said timidly, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about, master, but I'd help you more if I could."

"I know this, Novi, but you've done enough. I really didn't expect them to be so dangerous, but since I found out, before their protective shields and mental force fields develop stronger, we will They can be stopped. Now that the mayor has gone back, she has completely forgotten about the protective shield and the mental force field. She only remembers signing a trade treaty with Sai Xieer, bringing Xi Xieer into the power of the Federation range, she is proud of it. I do not deny that much work is needed to destroy all their achievements in psychomechanics. This kind of thing has been neglected by us in the past, but it will definitely be done in the future."

He meditated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "In the past, our prejudices were too deep and we underestimated the First Base. From now on, they must be placed under stricter supervision. We must try to connect the Milky Way together." Closer, and use psychomechanics to create a closer cooperation of consciousness. Doing so goes hand in hand with the Seldon plan, and I am sure of that, it must be done." Nuo Wei called out anxiously: "Master?" Candidate smiled suddenly. "I'm sorry, I was talking to myself—Novi, do you remember Lufinan?" "That stupid farmer who attacked you? I haven't forgotten."

"I can now be sure that there must be spies sent by the First Base who were operating in Trantor wearing personal protective masks. They were the ones who planned that incident. In addition, the other visions that plagued us must also be caused by them. Come to think of it, we were completely kept in the dark. However, at the time I was preoccupied with the myths of that mysterious world, the Saxelian superstitions about Gaia, and therefore completely ignored the First Foundation. A little bit, thanks to your mind working nearby, it helped me determine that the mental force field did not come from elsewhere, but was sent from that battleship."

Having said that, he rubbed his hands proudly. Nuo Wei said timidly, "Master?" "How is it, Novi?" "Will you not be rewarded for doing these things?" "Yes, Sandys will be stepping down soon, and I will be the chief speaker. Then we will have the opportunity to be active players in dramatically transforming the galaxy." "Chief speaker?" "Yes, Novi. I will become the most important and powerful of all scholars." "The most important thing?" She showed a sad look. "Why are you frowning, Novi? Don't you want me to be rewarded?"

"No, master, I certainly hope—but if you become the most important scholar, you wouldn't want an Eminem woman by your side, it would be inappropriate." "Won't I? Who will stop me?" He suddenly felt a surge of love for her. "Novi, no matter where I go, no matter who I become, are you willing to be with me forever? Insidious wolves, tigers and leopards often appear in the round table meeting, do you think I am willing to deal with it alone? As long as I have you By my side, I was able to read their true minds early on, even before they knew themselves—you have such a simple, unblemished, absolutely smooth mind. Besides—" He seemed a little surprised, wondering why he Do this confession. "Even apart from other factors, I... I like having you with me, and I want you to be with me—I mean, if you want to."

"Oh, master..." Nuo Wei replied softly.When he put his arm around her waist, she rested her head on his shoulder. However, in the depths of Novi's heart, the hidden corners of the layers of consciousness that cannot be detected still hide the essence of Gaia, guiding the development of everything.It is because of an unbreakable psychic mask that she can continue this important work. And the heavy mask—the mask that belonged to an Eminem woman—had an expression of immense joy.The mask smiles so happily that Novi hardly cares about the distance she is from herself/them/all, and she will always be content with this role in the endless years to come.
