Chapter 370 New Movement in the Territory

Is there a bigger secret hidden in the Fortress of Disobedience?

No one can tell clearly, even Carmel, who worked in the fortress of disobedience and was sealed for thousands of years with the fortress of disobedience in the shadow world, did not know the whole picture of this huge plan and huge building.

There was a very strict authority control and access control system in the fortress of disobedience. Each area in the fortress had its own person in charge, and was controlled by a fortress council with the highest authority. Although these areas and departments jointly implemented the disobedience plan, it was different. However, they are actually in a state of semi-isolation from each other. Unless a series of extremely complex inspections and "purification" procedures are obtained with the permission of the highest council, the movement of personnel in each area is strictly prohibited. According to Kamel's memory, It is very difficult to obtain this kind of permission, basically it is only possible in extremely special circumstances, 90% of the people in the fortress have never entered the area outside their responsibility...

With such strict internal control, Gawain could only think of one reason: to prevent being infected by the power of the gods.

Now that a thousand years have passed, according to Carmel's guess, except for the remaining god samples in the fortress and the fortress-related facilities, the entire fortress should have been completely evacuated, and all things related to the gods will not be left, but in the In some areas, less important research materials and "safety samples" should still be sealed. Gawain was curious about what he could find in that huge ancient facility if he continued to send people to explore further.

Byron nodded and was about to continue the task of exploring the Fortress of Disobedience, but Soldrin, who was next to him, suddenly interrupted him: "Wait a minute - can the task of exploring the Fortress of Disobedience be given to me and the 'Iron Rangers'? "

Gawain looked at Solderling, who explained: "The size of the combat corps is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a new round of expansion and training plans recently. As one of the commanders of the combat corps, Knight Byron is no longer suitable to go in person. To perform this kind of exploration mission, it is better to hand it over to the newly established Steel Rangers - this kind of task performed by the team in an unknown environment is also in line with the positioning of the Steel Rangers, and I can use it to train my new recruits."

"Well... Indeed," Gawain thought for a while, and then agreed with Soldering's statement, "Then this task will be handed over to you. Byron, please hand over the previous exploration progress and detailed information. In addition, Saul Delin, you'd better prepare more before leaving, this task is not urgent, you can leave within a week, the southern and eastern areas of the rebel fortress are more abandoned, and the situation is complicated and unclear, so don't act rashly."

Facing Gawain's advice,

Solderin nodded solemnly - although he is an experienced and powerful high-level ranger, facing an ancient ruin with a thousand years of history, no matter how powerful a high-level ranger is, he will not take it lightly.

...

After the meeting in the lord's mansion, Soldrin did not return to the station in the military district, but went to the machine shop in the eastern part of the territory.

Today's machinery manufacturing institute has undergone several expansions and renovations, and it is no longer a simple manufacturing plant, but a large-scale facility integrating research, testing and manufacturing. There are two large laboratories and several For workshops with different functions, the blueprint drawn by Gao Wen through knowledge derivation and multiple tests in the "simulation test field" of the Eternal Sleeper Network is an industrial product that has been transformed into deeds step by step in these laboratories and workshops. pushed to the entire territory.

Solderin went directly to the "Craftsman's Hall" of the Machine Factory - this is the heart of the entire Machine Factory. This circular hall is located in the location of the wooden shed when the Machine Factory was first established. But it's not what it used to be today. There are various machining tables and research tables scattered in an orderly manner in the large hall, but the most striking is the circular platform in the center of the hall that is slightly above the ground. The platform is about ten meters in diameter, and there is a small pit in the center. Other than that, there are no facilities and equipment. You can only see that many kinds of metal ingots are stacked all over the platform, and the ones from the patio directly above. The sun was shining on the center of the mesa at the moment—it was empty.

Soldering didn't see Nicholas Egg on the "Machinist's Roundtable", but only saw many busy "machinists" nearby (the name given by some people in Cecil to those magicians who specialize in machines). ), he curiously came to a mechanic in a white overalls: "Is Mr. Egg not here?"

The mechanic with a big beard and sturdy hands and feet was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Mr. Egg... Oh, you said the director? The director just went out."

Solderin frowned. "Where did he go?"

"Over at Cogwheel Square," the mechanic said with a place name that was very characteristic of an industrial area, "he must still be there when you used to be."

Solderling couldn't imagine what Nicholas Egg would do in a crowded square, except to deal with metals, who would never leave the machine shop, but he still thanked him: "Gear square... Okay, thank you. already."

Then he left the machine shop and rushed straight towards the Gear Square.

The Gear Square is not far away. It is located opposite the Machine Manufacturing Office and the Steel Foundry. Between the square and several workshops, there is a special high wall of shrubs used to absorb and isolate noise. After crossing the square, there are several main residential areas where the workers of the factory area and their families live. Every day, the workers living in the residential area will go to work in the factory through the entire gear square and the high bush wall. , the square is also an important place for the residents of the factory area to spend time.

The high wall of shrubs used to isolate the factory and the residential area was planted and catalyzed by Pittman and his apprentices at the behest of Gawain.

Soldering came to the Cogwheel Square and immediately knew what activities might be going on here.

There is a large open space next to the square, and now many people are crowding there. From time to time, there will be bursts of cheers and shouts from the crowd. It seems that there is some kind of game going on in the open space. Passing through the crowd, at a glance, he saw the fiery scrambling scene in the clearing: two teams of people running in the rectangular clearing, with two-color cloth strips tied to their heads to divide into two teams, while some kind of animal The leather sphere was what they were scrambling for, and they kicked it around hard, trying to get it into the two rough wooden door frames on the edge of the clearing.

The scene was very chaotic. There was almost no order and cooperation between the two teams fighting for it. Moreover, the person who stood on the edge of the open space as a "referee" didn't seem to understand the rules. He spent most of the time shouting with the surrounding audience. But these people are still playing happily, in full swing, and the people around are excited, and the cheering is always constant - many times they are not cheering for the goal, but just for the sudden grimace made by someone on the field or A brilliant fall cheers.

Even after living in human society for seven hundred years, Soldrin has rarely seen such a scene, especially among the commoners - they may gather together, or they may cheer for some reason , but would never devote themselves to such an enthusiastic movement, for the simple reason: how could the commoners and even the pariahs who can’t get enough to eat could waste their precious physical strength on this kind of movement?

What's more, it is still the season of cold spring, and physical strength is particularly valuable.

Soldering stared blankly at the movement in the open space, and relevant information slowly emerged in his mind: This... seems to be called football, something that an old friend came out with not long ago, and it was soon after the promotion. Welcomed by the people of the territory...

In all fairness, Soldrin prefers several board and card games that his old friends clearly showed, but he can still feel some kind of inexplicable attraction in this seemingly barbaric sport. 6 The energetic dwarves to the west will be interested.

At this moment, a bright metal reflection in the crowd interrupted the high-level ranger's thoughts. He raised his eyes and finally found his real goal - Nicholas Egg was suspended in the crowd, the huge and The hilarious smile that gleamed in the sun was clearly visible no matter how far away.

After a period of adaptation, the citizens of Cecil Land seem to have completely adapted to this peculiar "master craftsman". In fact, they have even adapted to Carmel, who has sparks and lightning all the way recently. The one who got used to it was the lady Kraken who had a very sluggish walking posture - after all, Tyr's number of going out was too limited.

Soldering hurried through the crowd and leaned over, shouting hello beside Nicholas Egg (after all, the cheering around was too loud): "Mr. Egg, Mr. Egg!"

After shouting a few times, Nicholas Egg shook as if he had just woken up from a big dream. Then the giant metal ball slowly turned around, and a buzzing sound came from the ball: "Mom...it's so exciting..."

"Mr. Egg, what's so exciting?" Soldering asked loudly. "By the way, can we find a quieter place? I'm looking for you for something..."

"Okay, okay, get out of here..." Nicholas made a humming sound, but his body was obviously not very stable, "You...you help me beside me, I'm a little empty..."

Soldering looked at Nicholas' oval body, and his face was covered in a circle - where is this tm helping?

But fortunately, Nicholas Egg himself did not pursue the details. After Solderling put his hand on him with a strange expression on his face, he erratically followed the high-ranking ranger and left the crowd.

After waiting outside the crowd, the iron ball star was in a better state, and then sighed again: "Mom...it's too exciting..."

Soldering turned to look at each other: "So what's so exciting?"

"Twenty-two people are rushing to kick a ball-sometimes the referee goes up and kicks it, it's too exciting..." Nicholas Egg's tone had a feeling of fear, "Is football so cruel..."

Rao is based on the knowledge and breadth of thinking accumulated by Solderin's seven hundred years of travel. He also reacted for a long time to guess what Mr. Egg meant. The expression of this high-level ranger was unprecedentedly strange: "You... look at this Shouldn't it be the same as when we watch killing people in the street?"

"It's more serious than that—you don't kill more than 20 people in the street with one knife..."

Soldering's eyes trembled: "I understand how you feel... Then you made a special trip to watch football, are you looking for excitement?"

"No way!" Nicholas Egg's tone was almost frantic, "I just heard that a ball game is popular in the territory, I thought it was prepared for me, I just wanted to come here to sign up - fortunately I didn't report it. Ah! They're not short at all right now, but almost every team is short of balls..."

Soldering's eyes trembled more and more seriously. He looked Nicholas egg up and down, thinking that the other party didn't need to be so nervous at all. With his size and real weight, I'm afraid he would have to be a giant in ancient legends to run on the field. ...

But considering the huge stimulation that the Iron Ball star had just received, Solderling was still too embarrassed to say it, but quickly changed the subject: "Actually, I'm here to ask you for something."

"Ah...ah, is there something please?" Nicholas Egg reacted, "What's the matter?"

"You should already know that I'm forming the 'Iron Rangers', and the lord has given me a task to design or improve a new type of magic weapon based on the ranger's combat experience," Solderling said. When he got down to business, his expression became serious, "I'm looking for you because I have a few 'orders' and I want you to help with the design."

"Oh? Can you also design a magic weapon?" Talking about his profession, Nicholas Egg immediately became energetic, and the previous mental wound seemed to heal in an instant, "Is there a concept map or target demand table?"

Solderin smiled slightly: "I can't give a concept map, but there are still some goals."
