Dark Mountains, middle area of "Disobedience Fortress", in front of the gate of the internal defense station.
The ancient fortress has been renovated in this area, and the originally mottled and peeling walls have been repainted. The white wall paint and light gray floor give the hall a completely new look. On the snow-white walls, every other There is a bright magic crystal lamp inlaid about ten meters away. The light illuminates the entire space as bright as day, and on the wall behind each lamp, you can see a small hexagonal outline that emits light. The "luminous strip" that emits a faint blue light extends along the wall, outlines and intersects into an elegant and simple geometric pattern near the roof, and is finally connected to the ceiling.
On the re-paved ceiling, the neat honeycomb-like hexagonal structure spreads to the end of the hall, spreading into the depths of the deep and dark corridor in the distance...
Those honeycomb structures are the new energy source used to replace the original energy core of the Disobedience Fortress after it fails - the second generation magic network device.
These magic nets have not yet completed their final encapsulation. According to the lord, those densely packed hexagons look like "intensive phobia" and must be covered with ceilings. But in From Solderin's perspective, it was precisely this unencapsulated magic network that emitted a faint blue light that gave the entire room an alternative and breathtaking aesthetic, composed of neat geometric lines and advanced technology. The scene formed by the magic device really resembles the treasure of the elven civilization, the Temple of the Stars, which is known as the "incredible miracle of ancient technology"...
Who would have thought that this building in Starfire The ancient Gondor facilities built in the 1960s were actually "resurrected" in this way a thousand years later. Just outside this hall, in several adjacent large indoor spaces, there are rumbling Workshop buildings, as well as warehouse facilities for stacking reserve supplies - after Kamel renovated the access control isolation system in this area and the lord sent enough guard soldiers, the security of the middle area of the fortress was guaranteed. Now in The number of people working and living in this area has reached thousands. Although it is far less than the prosperity of the Disobedient Fortress in its heyday, it still made Kamel really sigh for a while.
With a little emotion in his heart, Solderin retracted his gaze and looked at the dozen or so capable soldiers he had selected - these soldiers were wearing the special light armor of the Steel Rangers. Wearing full-coverage helmets that were precisely stamped by machines, the detection eyepiece in front of the helmets emitted a faint red light. They stood there silently waiting for orders, even though they were just a group of "mortals" without any magical talent, a kind of An indescribable momentum emanated from them.
——So far, this momentum can only be said to be a bluff, but after experiencing a few bloody actual battles, this momentum will become a real thing.
A subordinate who served as deputy captain glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall not far away, and a slightly muffled voice came from under his helmet: "Sir, come out.It's time to post. "
"Wait another five minutes," Solderin waved his hand, "the people sent by the lord should be here soon. "
As he spoke, the high-level ranger showed a slightly strange look - although Miss Shadow Master usually looked like a very out-of-place person, she always had a sense of time. It's unambiguous. This can be seen from the fact that she has been used as a dinner alarm clock by the lord. How could she be late?
He was curious when he suddenly heard the entrance from the other end of the hall. Amber's whirring voice came: "Hey, I'm coming, I'm coming! You didn't have to wait too long - I've got something unexpected happening here! "
Solderin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned his head: "It doesn't matter, the time has just passed a few minutes... huh? ”
The senior ranger’s slender golden eyebrows were slightly raised. He looked at Amber in surprise as he was running towards this side...the arching figure behind him.
p>
He couldn't help but curiously asked Amber who had already run up to him: "Who is this...Miss Siren?"
Hu Bo rolled his eyes immediately: "The team member who suddenly joined the team - Lao Zong the night before yesterday... Gao Wen only said to let me help you, but when he set out today, he suddenly left this sea The caterpillar monster was handed to me and he said he would take her with him. "
As she spoke, the half-elf lady glanced at the siren beside her with dissatisfaction: "Originally, I was traveling very fast alone, but with her I had to walk slowly. , you don’t know how slow this guy is coming all the way..."
Tier immediately responded: "I have a plan to leave quickly - you don’t want me to have any ideas. "
"Nonsense! You roll yourself into a ball and let me kick you hard from behind - are you relaxed and I must be exhausted? ! And we have to take a mountain road! Aren't you afraid that I will kick you into the ravine? ”
The look in Solderin’s eyes when he looked at Tyr was suddenly different: balling himself up into a ball and letting people kick him away... This sea monster is indeed as rumored, almost as lazy as ever He died on the spot...
Tear paid no attention to Solderin's gaze. Her long tail swayed behind her and she looked at the strangely dressed soldiers in front of her with curiosity. Then he happily waved his hands to everyone: "I heard it! You discovered a new area south of the fortress, right? ! That's why I took the initiative to sign up - just in case I could find some snacks or something with you..."
Solderin looked confused: "Snacks? "
"Ah haha, don't worry about her, the big creatures in the sea are somewhat flooded," Amber laughed and quickly diverted Solderin's attention. "It's getting late. Let's go. "
Tear immediately glared at Amber: "Don't think I can't understand! You learned the word "water" from that lord, right - are you scolding me? ”
Amber used her own face to answer all the accusations, completely ignoring Tier’s doubts, but simplyDelin approached her with an uneasy look and asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay? I heard that Miss Siren is lazy by nature. What if she falls asleep halfway - we are not Instead of going on an outing, I wanted to explore dangerous ancient ruins..."
Unexpectedly, Tyr's hearing was better than Solderin thought. The siren lady calmly waved her words before Amber opened her mouth. He waved his hands (and tail): "Don't worry, I am more or less a tide master, so I won't be a drag on you little guys. Besides...if I'm really too lazy to go, I'll roll myself into a ball and sleep, you guys Just send someone to push me behind..."
Solderlin: "..."
Now he really feels that the prospect of this exploration trip is not good... …
In the lord's mansion, Hetty came to Gawain's study with a stack of documents. Gawain nodded slightly after seeing her: "Amber and Tyr should have followed Solderin by now. The exploration team is about to set off."
"Calculate the time...it's almost time," Hedi said after pondering for a while, then frowned slightly, with a little doubt in his tone, "Ancestor, take them. Is it really okay to send two people to help?"
Gao Wen glanced at the eldest granddaughter who sometimes seemed too serious and said with a half-smile: "Do you think it's inappropriate?"
"You know Amber's character. As long as no one is watching, it won't be appropriate to put her anywhere." Hetty sighed helplessly, "And that Miss Siren Tire... I just can't Analyzing her from a personality perspective, the last time I saw her awake was in the Baishui River three days ago - she ran to swim in the river and was caught by fishermen in the East District with a net. The fishing nets are all broken."
"...How can she still have such great achievements?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "Ahem, these are all details. , you only noticed their unreliability, but don’t forget their unparalleled abilities.”
Gawain became serious and looked into Hetty’s eyes: “Although Amber is not. Reliable, but she is a well-deserved shadow master. At least in the specialized field of shadow, she is as powerful as an elemental creature in her own elemental world. The 'Shadow Experimental Field' discovered by Solderin is very important to ordinary people. People can be quite dangerous, so they need the power of amber; Tyr is an expert in resisting the power of gods. Others don't know it, but you do - those sea monsters all grew up eating gods alive and are resistant to gods. The height is scary. The Disobedience Fortress is a place where the power of the gods is studied. The Shadow Experimental Field may be related to the Shadow Goddess. Tyr's past is a layer of insurance. If there is really something left by the gods there, only Tyr can safely remove it. Dispose of it."
"...It's exactly what you said," Hetty thought for a while and could only admit that Gawain was right, "I hope they won't cause any trouble."
p>"Is there anything more important to report than this?" Gawain looked at Hetty's expression when he entered the study just now.Then he noticed a look of solemnity on Hetty's face, "Which factory is in trouble?"
"The situation is probably more serious than that, ancestor," Hetty said solemnly, "There was a military intelligence report just now. Report sent by the bureau - Our spies placed in the Earl of Horsman and the Viscounty of Carroll discovered that the behavior of the nobles in the south has been unusual in recent times. Various nobles on the ground are holding frequent gatherings. The leader of the gathering is Earl Horsman. , some news is spreading among the knights in various territories..."
"What news?"
"...Gawain? Duke Cecil is greedy and crazy, for Looting wealth and depriving all knights of the power and fiefdoms in the territory, and wreaking havoc on the traditional order of Anzu, and this destruction is spreading outwards, the Kant Territory is a victim, and many "glorious and glorious surnames are being destroyed by Cecil" The land is covered with dust' - this is the original saying spread among the knights and minor nobles in the territories, and the words are surprisingly consistent. It is obvious that someone is spreading it deliberately. "
Gawain said with a little amusement. After listening silently with a smile, the corner of his mouth turned up slightly: "Interesting...someone finally said that I destroyed the Anzu tradition - I thought they could endure it at least until Francis II returns."
" Aren't you angry?" Heti looked at Gawain in surprise, "You are obviously the founder of the Ansu tradition, but those people have simply forgotten who their ancestors are!"
"They! They have not forgotten, nor are they stupid. They just saw greater benefits." Gawain shook his head, "Besides these, are there more situations?"
"A group of Holy Light missionaries came from the north. The Carol Territory entered the Southern Territory and had frequent contact with the senior leaders of the Holy Light Church in the Southern Territory. Those missionaries were preaching among the knight class about Cecil's acceptance of the believers of the alien gods - of course, they did not use the term 'believers of the alien gods' A neutral statement, but directly saying that we are accepting the followers of the heretical evil god."
Gawain raised his eyelids and asked the only question he cared about: "Do the local noble lords acquiesce to the actions of these missionaries?"< /p>
"I'm afraid it's not just acquiescence," Hetty shook his head. "Without the secret help of the local noble lords, it would be difficult for the missionaries to gather all the noble knights for this kind of 'propaganda'. The knight class They are not ordinary people who can be summoned by ringing the bell at the door of the church."
Gawain nodded slightly: "Then it seems that the nobles in the south have also roped in the Holy Light Church - in order to take advantage of the opportunity. Pen, they really dare to do anything. But it’s okay...”
Hetty looked at Gawain in surprise: “What’s so good about this?”
Gawain smiled slightly: "We only need to hit them once, instead of hitting them each once."
