Chapter 659: Remaining Bones

Eastern border, Baisha area.

The violent storm finally stopped, and the apocalyptic darkness and rain curtain, as well as the deep-sea creatures emerging in the rain curtain, had left.

At the end of "eating", the vortex of dark clouds in the sky opened a huge gap, and sparkling waves of light flashed in the gap as if the ocean was hanging upside down. Those deep-sea allies passed through that gap. Returning to their territory, they took away most of the remains of the giant deer, leaving only some "bones" at the scene.

Those bones are now lying quietly thousands of meters away from the Iron Throne, between the white sand hills and the White Water River. There used to be a flat open land, but now there are more A huge deep pit was opened, which was filled with broken rocks and lifeless soil, as if a piece of it had been dug away.

Maryland led a group of officers and soldiers to the edge of the deep pit. Looking at the twisted and tangled bone fragments and some remaining flesh and blood at the bottom of the pit, which were still emitting strong magic waves, the commander felt that I can’t help but be filled with emotion.

A powerful "man-made god" who even had some divine power died just like that.

Died in a gluttonous feast.

A rustling sound came from the side. Maryland turned around and saw the Siren lady who was temporarily stranded in Cecil - Tier didn't know where she was hiding before. At this time, the dust settled. She just showed up.

"Did you really give it to...eat?" Maryland couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, it's not all for eating..." Tier scratched his hair, but suddenly felt that it would be troublesome to explain this matter clearly, so he waved his hand, "But there's nothing wrong with your understanding. , they will definitely have a big meal when they return."

What a terrible race.

Maryland thought with a hint of awe in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at the huge pit.

Not only is its strength terrifying, but its teeth and appetite are also terrifying.

"It's amazing. You actually dug such a big hole on the ground..."

Tier was stunned when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand after realizing it. : "This pit is not caused by chewing - it is because the magic reaction is too violent, coupled with the energy field vibration when the jump field pulls people back, this is why such a pit was created..."

"It's okay, it's normal to have some misunderstandings due to different races. We sirens always I suspect that your terrestrial creatures always living in dry places will affect their intelligence..." Tierhun waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The energy surge in this place has subsided. When do you plan to start research? These wrecks?"

She pointed to the "bones" left at the bottom of the pit after the Kraken Expedition retreated. Although they were fragments of wreckage that had lost their activity, they were still valuable.It is immeasurable. For any researcher, those bones and flesh are a huge wealth.

"The news has spread back to the south, and professional people will come here to take over soon," Maryland said, with some curiosity, "Why are you asking this?"

"Oh, I want to say that if you don't start researching in a while, I plan to go down and have a few bites first..." Tier said matter-of-factly, "I have been responsible for maintaining the guidance beacon before, and I have no idea. Catch up with the sisters for dinner..."

Maryland: "..."

This noble-born commander has dealt with all kinds of people in his life, but he I never thought that dealing with the Kraken would be so difficult!

This race can exceed your knowledge level with just a casual opening, and then make any knowledgeable and wise person be short of words, speechless, and unable to think of how to answer - I really don’t know at the beginning How did Duke Cecil establish contact with this group of deep-sea aliens!

After staring for a long time and organizing his words, Maryland finally came up with the right words: "This... I'm sorry, Miss Till, I'm afraid I have to report it to my superiors. After all, these wrecks are now considered experiments. Samples and trophies."

Tiel looked regretful: "Hey, I knew it would be like this. Why is it so difficult to be a siren? There are so many people trying to stop me from eating cookies..."

Maryland: "..."

...

It's all over.

The news of the victory on the Eastern Front reached the southern border as soon as possible, and within a few hours it was conveyed to the people through newspaper extras and magic network broadcasts.

Although the official has not released detailed intelligence involving the truth, nor has a formal celebration been held, an atmosphere of joy and joy has begun to spread in Cecil City.

Although there is still a large area of ​​abandoned land in the east of the Holy Spirit Plain, and although it is uncertain when another crisis will break out in the Typhon Empire just around the corner, at least at this moment, everyone is He breathed a sigh of relief.

At the magic train station on the edge of the main city’s industrial zone, a magic train preparing to leave for the eastern region is parked next to the platform. Holographic barriers representing the waiting state rise from both sides of the track, blocking the train and the train. between platforms. Inside the barrier, Cecil's emblem and number marks are painted on the brand-new train carriages. Light blue runes are emerging on the surface of the repulsion generators arranged along the car body. Outside the barrier, people preparing to board the train are gathering. On the platform, people queued up under the command of managers while waiting for the barrier to open.

Some of these people waiting to board the train are Cecil soldiers wearing uniforms or armors. They are preparing to go to the East with this train to maintain order in the East and strengthen the border defense lines. Some are wearing ordinary uniforms. Some of the people wearing clothing are going to the Gulen area, some are going to the Baisha Mine, some are employees of factories or government affairs offices, and some are doing business between these areas.

Although severalAn experimental railway line has been put into formal operation, but after all, the development time is still short. On the one hand, the fare is still expensive, and on the other hand, many ordinary people do not have a hard need to travel long distances in a short time. Therefore, they can take, People who are willing to take the magic train are still a small part of the crowd. They are usually employees of the Government Affairs Department with tasks, or businessmen with relatively high financial strength.

Most of these people wear short coats or "simple" dresses that have just become popular recently and are beautiful and practical. They carry small boxes of similar styles in their hands. Women usually also wear a belt. A sun hat with a veil, and men will bring a black or dark brown umbrella.

These are new gadgets that have recently become popular in Cecil City. The price is neither high nor low, and everyone can afford it. When people suddenly find that they have extra money on hand, they can buy something that is not As items that are necessary for life but can make oneself more comfortable and convenient, similar "new gadgets" quickly become props for some Cecil citizens to "decorate" themselves. In a sense, these things are even A medium through which some new citizens convey certain signals to the outside world:

I have had enough to eat, and I still have the energy left to live a decent life.

In addition to these clothing and daily necessities, almost everyone will bring an extra newspaper or magazine to relieve the boring time during the journey. At the same time, in the station rest area and on the train Discussing what's in the newspaper with your neighbors is one of the signs of being "up to date" and "informed and educated."

Of course, not everyone will pursue this "mark of respectability."

Many new immigrants who have just filled their stomachs and have just emerged from embarrassment cannot change their mentality in a short period of time. They are more willing to save money and food, retaining the "hunger anxiety" of the embarrassment period, but at least, Among those who already have some economic strength and are closer to the "citizen class" in the old era, these "signs" are very meaningful, and it is these people who, through their own acceptance and application of new things, The "Cecilian" social atmosphere is being shaped bit by bit, and a new group of "Cecilian citizens" is being created in addition to the old concepts of nobility, serfs, and freedmen.

People are talking about what is in the newspapers and the victory on the Eastern Front. No more detailed news has been announced so far, and the latest issue of the newspaper only briefly published a message - the most powerful evil creation of the All-Death Society has been destroyed, and the Holy Spirit Plains has entered the final cleaning stage - But even such a simple sentence was enough to make everyone relax their tense hearts and start talking about this victory in a relaxed and proud tone.

In the corner of the platform, Pitman, who was wearing a black short robe, was instructing several new apprentices to carry several large boxes of luggage to the luggage cart. He looked at the beaming faces of the people around him, and followed the words of the card next to him. Meier whispered softly: "To be honest, when I first found out what the madmen from the Society of the End of All Creations had created, I was thinking about running away.On the way. "

Kamel has been in contact with Pitman for a long time, and his judgment of this little old man is quite accurate. After hearing this, he said casually: "I don't believe it. "

"Hey, how can you be so sure..."

"With your character, when you really think about running away, you will definitely be on your way. "

"...It's getting more and more boring to talk to you. "

Pittman waved his hand, and Kamel next to him looked curiously at the old druid's clothes: "Speaking of which, you always wear this old-style robe. Don’t you consider trying the popular simplified dress jacket or short windbreaker? It is said to be very good, more practical and more comfortable than the old clothes. "

"I'm used to this outfit," Pitman rolled his eyes and glanced at the pile of rune armor pieces all over Kamel's body. "When will you figure out a way to wear yourself out? Replace the pile of armor pieces on your body, and then come discuss fashionable clothing with me. "

There was a strange buzzing sound in Kamel's body, which seemed to express his helplessness, and at about the same time, a loud bell rang on the platform.

"Train It's all ready." Pitman looked up at the magic train not far away, and saw that the barriers at the edge of the platform were disappearing one by one, so he turned around and waved his hand, "I have to set off - go see those people who are all dying. What the hell did the madman come up with? You said that Cecil's power is not small now, and there are many druids recruited and registered. Why do I still feel that I have to do everything myself, as an old bone, and my salary should be increased... "

The old Druid muttered, as if full of resentment, but he quickly led several apprentices to the train not far away - he was ordered to go to the White Sand Hills to investigate the The few fragments that remained after the death of the "Artificial God". As the oldest druid in the territory and the only expert who understands the secrets of the Death Society, he cannot avoid this task.

Kammel, who came to see him off, watched Pitman get on the bus and the passengers on the platform entered the carriage one after another.

Then the huge magic machine began to make a low sound. The buzzing sound, the power spine charging, the rune group lighting up, the train slowly accelerating on the track, heading into the distance.

Not far away, there were several groups on the streets and several open spaces outside the platform. The children who came to watch the excitement ran after the train and shouted and exclaimed on the other side of the isolation railing. Some pedestrians passing by on the road also stopped. Some waved to the train, and some carefully looked at the advanced machinery as it moved.

The emergence of Magic Industry has finally begun to change the world in terms of life details, cultural customs, and social order.

"Magic Industry..." Kamel said to himself, the light on his body flickering slowly, "It seems that this is indeed a good road..."

An electric arc swept across his body surface, illuminating the hair on his chest. Rune Armor Plate, on that ancient sheet of metal, ancient GondorThe emblems of the empire are mottled and visible.

"It seems that I can really see the day when mankind returns to glory... Your Highness Ophelia, I hope you have waited until now to see this day."

This new magic industrial empire may still be far behind the Gondor Empire, but one day, it will catch up or even surpass it.

Kamael, who has experienced the most glorious era of mankind and witnessed advanced society, is now looking forward to that day.
