Lucian nodded slightly upon hearing: "Great, no need to say more."
Rover also echoed: "If it sounds like that, it does seem quite great, but it's not like there's no profit to be had."
"If private terminals are successfully promoted, the people of Ragunna would probably have to buy from the Montelli family, which has seized the initiative."
"But no matter what, the promotion of private terminals is a good thing for the entire Rinascita."
Carlotta chuckled lightly: "Thank you both distinguished guests for your understanding."
"The Order monopolizes the usage rights of public Echoes and imposes strict controls on private terminals."
"They don't want the people to have their own Echoes, claiming it would destroy the sanctity of Echoes that they preach."
"But I suppose you know their plans, right?"
Lucian shared the analysis he had before, although those analyses were guesses made before meeting Carlotta.
But up until now, nothing had happened to make Lucian change his mind.
"The Order of the Deep controls terminals and Echoes, restricts the art of the people of Ragunna, and seals off the entire Rinascita, among other measures."
"The Order of the Deep simply wants to monopolize the discourse power in Rinascita and use the title of the Sentinel's earthly spokesperson to deepen the Order's status in Rinascita."
Carlotta was very satisfied with Lucian's guess; she smiled: "That's right; this is the truth of the country of Echoes."
"Whoever controls the Echoes controls Rinascita."
"And the Fisalia family is secretly cooperating with the Order, wanting to completely cut off the future of private terminals by defeating our Montelli family."
"To this end, they even don't hesitate to cooperate with organizations like the Fractsidus."
As Carlotta spoke, she glanced at Phrolova: "I suggest you deal with dangerous elements like her sooner rather than later, to avoid complications."
Before Lucian could speak, Rover was the first to deny: "That won't do!"
"For a woman as sinful as her, death would be a relief; only living can bring her the greatest torment!"
Lucian widened his eyes in some fear upon hearing: "Rover, I didn't expect you to be so malicious!"
Carlotta said with interest: "For some people with deep sins, death is indeed a relief."
"Instead, living on in ignominy is a torment."
"From what you say, you've thought of how to torment Phrolova?"
The corners of Rover's mouth hooked up, her pretty face full of confidence: "Of course!"
She revealed a sinister smile: "We must make her watch with her own eyes as we send every single bill to the Fractsidus!"
Lucian made a question mark: "Just that? I take back what I said earlier."
"I think the most malicious method is to make her watch our live streams every day!"
"Let her body and mind suffer the ravages of desire!"
Rover laughed happily: "That's a good idea."
"But the only drawback is that you might quench her desire, and then I wouldn't be too happy."
Carlotta looked puzzled and extended her hand to stop the two's conversation: "Wait a minute..."
"Li... live stream? De... desire?"
"It couldn't be what I'm thinking, right?"
Lucian said strangely: "Of course, it refers to the live streams on the Pioneer Association forum; what are you thinking, Second Miss?"
Carlotta said indignantly: "It's clearly your words that caused ambiguity and made me think wrong."
"And besides, I think that's what you meant originally, right?"
Rover said strangely: "What meaning?"
Carlotta: "...Just that meaning!"
Seeing the two playing dumb, Carlotta waved her hand: "Never mind, never mind... I can't outtalk you two."
"As for how to handle Phrolova, I'm just making a suggestion."
"After all, you caught her, and I have no right to interfere."
"Oh, right, and that Cristoforo we encountered before... What do you plan to do?"
Rover put her hands on her hips: "If it weren't for the Montelli family's face, we would have fought him right there in the vault."
Carlotta broke out in a sweat: "So in the end, it became the Montelli family's problem?"
Lucian shook his head slightly: "He should appear again; next time we meet him outside, just capture him directly."
"The only concern is, I don't know his strength."
"I didn't see a Tacet Mark on him, of course, it could be under his clothes."
Rover analyzed rationally: "Every time we see him, he's all dressed up like a person..."
"And he's always smiling; at a glance, he's not a good person!"
"This should be the real 'smiling tiger,' right?"
"Superficially amicable, but scheming behind the scenes..."
Lucian spread his hands: "How is the smiling tiger from 'smile and let it go' not a smiling tiger?"
Rover was speechless: "The 'smile and let it go' one is at most a husky."
Lucian: "?"
Carlotta nodded slightly: "That would be good."
But immediately after, she hesitated a bit: "However, I heard that the Fractsidus has many Overseers, and its members are spread throughout all of Solaris."
"After we capture him, won't it invite retaliation from the Fractsidus?"
"What if the Fractsidus goes all out and starts a massacre in Ragunna for these two?"
"Now we've only captured Phrolova; the situation should still be under the Fractsidus's control, so they haven't taken much action."
"But if we capture both, then the Fractsidus will be leaderless and will definitely call for reinforcements..."
Rover shrugged nonchalantly: "When soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers."
If it were Rover alone, she might need to weigh it, but with Lucian added, let alone the Fractsidus, even if the Sentinel came...
Cough cough, the Sentinel is still quite strong, but the Fractsidus is just small fry.
However, there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens; above Overseers, there should be even higher-status existences, perhaps with greater strength.
Rover felt they still needed to act cautiously, but next time they encounter Cristoforo, they definitely need to capture him first.
Lucian said thoughtfully: "There's also a prerequisite: we must first let the Carnevale be held successfully and end."
"If we capture him before the Carnevale, forget about the Fractsidus."
"The Order of the Deep and Fisalia would probably go crazy."
"After all, the Fractsidus is even larger to them; if both Phrolova and Cristoforo are captured in Ragunna."
"Then what awaits the Order of the Deep and Fisalia will surely be the Fractsidus's liquidation."
"So, wait until after the Carnevale ends, then go find Cristoforo."
"Then we'll secretly capture Cristoforo and take him back to the Jinzhou prison, letting the Fractsidus search slowly in Ragunna."
Carlotta was utterly confused: "Are the lives of us Ragunna people not lives?"
