Under Butterfield's lead, Ray Mingkai and Lacus, who had been invited to the Desert Tiger's base camp, exchanged glances at the door.
Not long ago, after the end of the attack, Butterfield had invited Lei Mingkai and Lacus with the excuse that Lacus's clothes had been dirtied by the mud splashed by the stray bullets during the fierce battle.
At first, Ray Mingkai was somewhat hesitant.
Lacus' disguise was not perfect.
The pendant that could use holographic projection to disguise her true appearance would inevitably lose its disguise effect at some point.
However, Lux immediately agreed to Butterfield's invitation.
"Kai. It's alright! "
For this reason, Lacus took the initiative to cast a reassuring glance at Ray Mingkai.
Thus, the two of them stood at the entrance of the Desert Tiger's base camp.
In the open door, a woman in blue was already waiting there.
When she saw Lacus, who was wearing muddy clothes, she smiled at Butterfield and asked.
"Is that her? Andy. "
"Yes! I'm counting on you! Aisha. "
Butterfield nodded. After exhorting the woman named Aisha, he patted Ray Mingkai's shoulder.
"Alright! Madam, go over there. We'll go over here. "
Ray Mingkai, who was secretly reminding the White Cat to protect Lacus in his mind, nodded. He accepted Butterfield's invitation and walked into the spacious living room.
"Sit anywhere! Mm, please wait for a moment! There will be drinks prepared immediately. "
Butterfield gestured for the soldiers outside to close the door and turned to Ray Mingkai.
"What do you want to drink? Oh, sorry! I only have coffee here. How about a cup of water? "
Ray Mingkai glanced at the coffee set behind Butterfield and slowly nodded.
"Coffee will be fine!"
"Then, wait for a moment!"
Batterfield straightforwardly agreed. He then turned around and concentrated on dealing with the coffee. He didn't care if Lei Mingkai would suddenly attack.
Of course.
In Butterfield's knowledge, this was something that was absolutely impossible to happen.
Ray Mingkai retracted his gaze and looked around the living room again. His gaze fell on the stone placed above the fireplace.
To be precise, this was a replica of the fossil brought back by George, the world's first regulator, from Jupiter, Evidence 01.
"Mm? You're also interested in fossils? "
Not long after, Butterfield, who had brewed the coffee, smelled the aroma of the coffee with satisfaction and turned to Ray Mingkai to promote his craft. However, he saw Ray Mingkai looking at the replica.
"A little. Evidence 01. This is the replica of the Jupiter Whale fossil? "
Lei Mingkai nodded slightly and reached out to take the coffee from Butterfield.
"Yes. The real Evidence 01 is not with me. it is placed in the Council. At the end of the day, this thing is just a relatively rare item for ordinary people. "
Butterfield raised his hand to signal Ray Mingkai to sit down. He sat on the sofa and slowly drank the cup of coffee while relaxing his body.
"Rare item? That's true. "
Ray Mingkai did not express any objection to Butterfield's statement.
For most people, a fossil from ancient times was indeed a relatively rare item.
"Then, what about you? What do you think the existence of Evidence 01 means to us? "
"The future."
Lei Mingkai's reply caused Butterfield to be slightly surprised, but he soon laughed out loud.
"Interesting. But now, a war has engulfed the entire human race. Do you think there is still a future in such a situation? "
"No!"
Ray Mingkai's answer made Butterfield stunned again.
"This is really … surprising!"
Butterfield raised his cup and slowly drank a mouthful of coffee. He looked at Ray Mingkai.
"I thought you would say that there is still a future for mankind. I didn't expect it to be such a surprising answer. I thought that the person with those eyes would be an existence that wantonly destroys everything. "
"Eyes?"
The key words mentioned by Butterfield made Ray Mingkai slightly squint his eyes.
"Yes. They are a pair of beast-like eyes. "
Butterfield faintly smiled and raised his cup towards Lei Mingkai, indicating that Lei Mingkai didn't need to be polite. Then, he said meaningfully.
"Is that so? I wonder where Butterfield has seen those eyes? "
"En, where?"
Butterfield muttered to himself for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently and smiled.
"I forgot! However, I believe there will be a chance to reunite with those eyes. "
"That's really exciting!"
Ray Mingkai and Butterfield looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was understood without words.
"It's just that I really admire Sir Kai. You brought your sister across this desert alone. Are you not afraid of being involved in the war between Zaft and Earth? "
Butterfield's tone changed as he began to probe Lei Mingkai once again.
"There are some things that must be done! My sister and I returned to Earth from a colonial satellite. "
"Colonial satellite?"
Butterfield raised his eyebrows and seemed to have guessed where Ray Mingkai's colonial satellite was referring to.
"I really can't stand it! I really can't stand it! I didn't expect to run to Earth and be related to that gloomy guy. "
"Gloomy guy?"
When Lei Mingkai heard Baalfeld's words, he seemed to have connected the dots with the person he was talking about.
"Yes! Gloomy guy. Sir Kai, you and your sister should have returned from Heliopolis, right? If that's the case, then everything can be explained. "
"Oh? That's right. It was from Heliopolis that we came. Unfortunately, when we took the shuttle to return to Earth, Heliopolis was destroyed by the war. "
"Yes! Unfortunately, in that war, our Zaft's Law Lu Kreutzer was also among them. "
Ray Mingkai was very surprised.
He didn't expect the Desert Tiger to reveal the real culprit behind the destruction of Heliopolis so easily.
"Are you surprised? For Zaft and Earth, the truth of the destruction of Heliopolis is not important. What both sides care about is the things inside Heliopolis. "
Although the Desert Tiger exposed Kreutzer's glorious deeds in one breath, when it came to the secret behind Heliopolis, he kept silent.
Anger?
Suddenly, he launched an attack at the Desert Tiger, only to be shot to death by the soldiers who heard the commotion in the room?
The Desert Tiger's test at this moment was undoubtedly to provoke Ray Mingkai's bottom line.
However, Ray Mingkai was not born in Heliopolis and did not have much affection for Heliopolis, the colonial satellite. What he had was disgust towards the actions of Kreutzer and the others.
Therefore, the Desert Tiger's test again and again only received Ray Mingkai's silence.
"Sorry! Those are things of the past. It's not something worth fussing over. Come! Coffee has to be drunk while it's hot. "
Butterfield raised his cup again and invited Ray Mingkai to finish the rest of the coffee.
When they finished their coffee, there was a knock on the door.
"Andy. You've changed your clothes. "
"Oh! Is that so? Then come in quickly! The coffee is getting cold! "
The moment the door opened, an angel descended.
A white gauze dress gently wrapped around Lacus. As the door opened, a light breeze blew, and the fluttering dress made Lacus look particularly elegant.
The only pity was that Lacus could not show her true appearance, but stood here with the face of a black-haired girl.
Therefore, Lei Mingkai always felt that something was missing from the beautiful scene in front of him.
However, this was only Ray Mingkai's personal opinion.
Butterfield was very satisfied with Aisha's gaze and Lacus's beauty.
"Mm. It seems that my apology has been properly delivered. Aisha, thank you for your hard work! "
Butterfield nodded his head in satisfaction.
"No. This is what I should do. Isn't it? Andy. Alright, Audrey, go in! I believe your brother has been waiting for a long time. "
Hearing this, Lacus nodded slightly to Aisha to express her gratitude, and walked gracefully to the sofa.
"Come! Audrey, over here. "
Ray Mingkai extended his right hand to Lacus and invited her.
Lacus graciously placed her hand on Ray Mingkai's hand and followed his lead to sit beside him.
"What do you think? Aisha's gaze has always been good. "
Butterfield suddenly winked at Ray Mingkai.
"Mm. Very beautiful! Thank you very much! "
While Ray Mingkai and Butterfield were exchanging pleasantries, Lacus also noticed the replica placed on the fireplace.
"Evidence 01?"
"Oh. Little girl. You also know the origin of this fossil? "
Lacus retracted her gaze and nodded.
"Yes. Teacher actually mentioned it to me. According to teacher's description, this might be the future of mankind. "
"Future? Hehe. You siblings really have the same view. "
Butterfield glanced at Lux with great interest before continuing to ask, "You're the one who's going to die.
"Then, where do you think the future of mankind lies? In this war? "
Lacus lowered her gaze, but did not immediately answer Butterfield's question.
Perhaps she was hesitating on whether she should answer.
Or perhaps she was worried that if she answered this question, her identity would be exposed, resulting in unimaginable consequences.
Now, she was no longer Lacus Klein, but an ordinary girl who had returned to her hometown, Audrey Britannia.
"Just say it! Audrey. There's no problem here. "
At this moment, Ray Mingkai patted Lacus' right hand, indicating that she did not need to worry.
Lacus looked up and exchanged glances with Ray Mingkai. She saw that Ray Mingkai's eyes were filled with encouragement and confidence, and nodded silently.
"Captain Butterfield. This war is not the future of mankind. It's only the internal strife of mankind, and the tyrannical behavior of using all sorts of so-called righteousness to kill the other party! The longer this war lasts, the more uncertain the future of mankind will be. "
"Oh?" A glint flashed across Butterfield's eyes as he continued asking.
"Then, how do you think this war will end? Where will it end? Who will end it? "
"I don't know!"
Lacus's answer was abnormally straightforward!
There was no hesitation at all.
"You don't know?"
Butterfield was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
"Hahahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! You think so too? Kai. "
"I don't know."
Ray Mingkai's answer was the same as Lacus'.
"Is that so? I didn't expect a man with beastly eyes to be like this! Is it because of the person you are protecting? Kai Britannia. No, perhaps I should call you Baku's pilot? "
"You!?"
Just as Lacus spoke, Ray Mingkai stood up decisively and blocked in front of Lacus.
"Hehe! Don't be nervous! It's because of this that your debt is so big! Her Royal Highness naturally doesn't lack Knights by her side, but there's only one true Knight protecting her. Mm, I'll call you Kai! "
"Do you want to start a war?"
Ray Mingkai's gaze gradually became cold and stern. His entire body tensed up as he entered battle mode.
As long as there was a situation, Ray Mingkai would attack violently, and the White Cat State Zero would protect Lacus.
"No, no, no. I don't have any ill intentions now. I just want to see the truth! Alright. It's time for the pleasant chat to end! Kai, Audrey, you can go back. "
Butterfield spread out his hands to show that he didn't have any ill intentions.
Then, he said:
"Oh, right! The parts you want are already on the car in front of the gate. Take it as my thank-you gift! We'll meet again! "
The conflict ended just as it was about to erupt.
However, looking at the distant tire tracks, Butterfield, who was standing by the window, was silent.
"Andy. What are you thinking about? "
Aisha, the Desert Tiger's partner, came behind him and asked softly.
"Aisha. What do you think? That girl called Audrey. "
"She doesn't look like a girl from an ordinary family. Moreover, after changing into that white dress, I feel that she seems to be very comfortable with this kind of outfit. Also, her hair seems to have a fake feeling. "
"Fake?"
Butterfield's gaze froze as he couldn't help but murmur.
"Is that so?"
The numerous parts were tightly wrapped in oil paper. Even the sand and dust swept up by the hot desert wind couldn't penetrate the paper and cause any damage to the parts.
"Sha sha sha …"
The car's tires constantly rolled the sand below. As the sand was lifted into the air, the car quickly shuttled between the sand dunes.
"Kai. I think Captain Butterfield has already seen through our identities. "
Lacus, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looked at the sun that was slowly sinking below the horizon and said softly.
"Probably! The Desert Tiger isn't someone who can be easily fooled. However, I think he only saw through your disguise, but didn't see the truth behind the disguise. "
Ray Mingkai turned the steering wheel and said:
"Also, after the repairs in Baku are completed, we still have a battle with Captain Butterfield. At that time, the results will naturally be clear. "
