Chapter 630 Mysterious Departure, Final Disobedience

The talisman in Victoria's hand shone with a faint golden luster. The extremely special surface texture was between metal and some kind of crystal. When the shimmering light brushed from above, a thin and changing halo appeared on its surface. ——None of the natural or man-made materials known to human beings have such a peculiar texture, and Gawain is really familiar with them.

This is the material of the eternal slate, the material of the debris around the body of Julu Ammon, and the ancient alloys that are suspected to be left by the fleet of high-ranking civilizations! !

But the talisman in Victoria's hand is very different from the "fragments" in its original form: it has obvious traces of being reprocessed by humans, it has runes used by humans on its surface, and it also bears Wilder. Family crest!

And as far as Gawain knows, in the past few hundred years, human beings have not found any means to process the "eternal slate", not to mention smelting and recasting, even knocking a piece of it down - even in the Spark Era of that year. In the Gondor Empire, with the help of advanced Gondor equipment, Carmel and his colleagues were only able to reluctantly cut the wreckage around the giant deer Ammon! !

So, how did the amulet in Victoria's hand come out? !

"...This amulet was forged by Archduke Modier Wilder six hundred years ago," Victoria did not expect Gawain to care so much about her family amulet, but she answered frankly despite the unexpected, "The name of the amulet It is the 'Cold Disaster'. As you said, its material is very similar to the eternal slate, but it is not processed from the eternal slate... Specifically, where did Archduke Mordir Wilder get these materials, and what Where the casting of the talisman was completed is still a mystery...I only know that it was related to an expedition to sea."

When Gawain heard the words "going to explore the sea", his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Going to explore the sea?"

"Yes," Victoria nodded, "The family has records that Duke Modir Wilder is a legendary mage who is keen on exploring and has great strength. He traveled throughout the northern continent in his early years, and in his later years was a After the title of duke was passed on to the heir in advance, he even challenged the endless sea - no one knew where he went, and the family records only recorded that he came back with the 'Cold Disaster' amulet. Forged somewhere far from the mainland..."

A mysterious voyage, an adventure that no one knows about, challenging the Endless Sea after losing the Church of the Storm and the Ocean Guide...

Although there was no clear evidence, Gawain instantly thought of the memory he had lost after inheriting this body, and of a mysterious voyage that Gawain Cecil once had.

Seven hundred years ago, Gawain Cecil, as the founding duke of Ansu, also suddenly made an inexplicable voyage to the sea.

No one knew what happened to him. Gawain only knew that he had entered the kingdom of sirens and brought back some mysterious crystals from a place called "Eternal Dark Sea", and those crystals helped Gawain to reconcile with him. The satellites in orbit make a connection;

Archduke Modir Wilder, who had a similar experience 600 years ago, brought back the Cold Calamity Amulet—a talisman cast from an ancient alloy that theoretically cannot be processed by contemporary human technology.

Gawain has always been very concerned about the blankness in his inherited memory, and instinctively felt that it was hiding a huge secret, but he had never found any clues in this regard, so this matter was once put to the back of his mind, however. Today, he feels that he has finally discovered the clues of this matter-although there was a hundred years between Modier Wilder and Gawain Cecil back then, similar sailing experiences and mysterious "harvests" obviously exist It must be contacted, which made him unable to keep asking: "Is there really no unnecessary records of the Wilder family about this matter?"

Victoria coughed lightly, it seemed that the weakness caused by the cold disaster had not gone away, and after a short thought, she shook her head: "No. Modier is one of the ancestors of the Wilder family who has few records left, and he is keen Yu traveled around, but he did not have many deeds in his career as a duke, and family records of this more orthodox thing would not record his adventures too much. It is said that there is a book written by Modier Wilder himself. The travel notes he wrote recorded many of his adventures, which were equivalent to his diary, but that travel note was lost a long time ago..."

"So that's the case..." Gawain sighed in disappointment, but he still had to accept this fact.

Victoria hesitated for a moment, and said actively: "If you are very concerned about this aspect, I can look for it in the library of Winter Castle after I go back, maybe there are some side information."

"Okay," Gawain nodded, then looked at the soldiers who were busy, "but first we have to solve this disaster..."

The command node of the Crystal Cluster Army in Red Maple City was destroyed, and the entire Red Maple area and the crystal cluster army in the Boulder City, Fertile Woodland, and Xielin River Valley were paralyzed. It was a huge blow, but the end of the Red Maple Battle did not mean that Gawain could breathe a sigh of relief.

This army of crystal clusters is extremely large, and the monster created by the death of all things has more than one command center. Those who went to attack San Sunil, those located in the eastern area of ​​the giant wood crossing, and those scattered all over the Holy Spirit Plain The crystal clusters in the wilderness all have different command nodes. If a red maple is lost, the remaining giants will still be active.

The main force far away from Hongfeng has established a position and began to clear the cluster infected people who are constantly coming from all directions and are in a chaotic and weak state. Due to the destruction of the Hongfeng node, the infected people in the whole area will be at the end. Under the guidance of a spiritual command, moths rush into the flame network intertwined with the burner and the rail gun. According to experience, this process will last at least a day or so.

The river fleet, which has completed the artillery support mission, has been docked for a long time to repair-they want to repair the damaged magic wings.

"We have encountered an attack with a real threat," Byron explained the brief interruption of the previous shelling and the damage to the magic wing on the magic net communication terminal. "A group of swarm monsters sank themselves in the water and fired on the fleet. Then it suddenly came up and tried to pierce the bottom of our boat."

Gawain didn't know that those powerful warships almost had a problem. At this time, he was shocked when he heard Byron's report, and quickly asked: "And then?"

"Fortunately, there are steel plates at the bottom of the battleship, as well as a water-proof compartment. The first wave of attacks by those monsters did not work. After that, I ordered each ship to break the mechanical structure of half of the magical energy wings, and immersed the waste energy release grille in the water. Created a massive arcane blast in the water - this succeeded in taking out the monsters, but at the cost of losing half of the fel wings, and the small ships were damaged to varying degrees by the arcane blast, one modified The gunboat is badly damaged and has lost all power...and this part of the loss is my responsibility."

Even the old fritters knight did not shirk the responsibility of the attack and damage to the fleet, but Gawain directly interrupted the other party: "You are not responsible for this incident, your response is very appropriate, and you have avoided further damage. It was a big loss—and this also allowed us to accumulate valuable experience. You put together a document of the detailed process of the battle process and the operation of the various systems of the ship at that time, and passed it to the Magic Energy Technology Research Institute and the shipyard. They refer to the follow-up renovation plan."

"Yes."

The communication hung up, and Gao Wen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

You can't be blinded by the smoothness of the war situation - even in such a smooth military operation, there are such important lessons hidden, and if this lesson is not learned, it will probably be the next time it appears. A deadly crisis!

Those crystal cluster giants have found an effective way to fight even when they have been crushed and beaten all the time, and Gawain has been focusing on the confrontation on land and on the water surface, and he has ignored the possibility that the enemy may attack the warship from the bottom of the water!

This is not to say that he does not have the concept of underwater confrontation, but he did not think about it at all. He did not expect that in the context of this era, when facing a group of infected monsters, he would encounter the challenge of underwater confrontation. !

It's like a modern soldier in full armor hitting a primitive man with a stick - the soldier doesn't think he needs extra cover and an insulating suit, but the primitive man waved the stick and summoned a sphere Lightning comes...

If it weren't for the fact that those giants of the cluster had only flesh and blood, and if the enemy also possessed weapons and equipment similar to Cecil's, or even only half an era behind, then those enemies who attacked the battleship from underwater might really be able to sink the river fleet. of warships.

At this moment, Victoria's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Gawain's thoughts: "What happened?"

The Duke of the North had simply eaten some food just now, and after a short rest and meditation, her state had recovered a lot. Seeing Gawain's serious expression, she thought it was a problem on the front line.

At the same time, she also noticed the small magic net terminal in front of Gawain - she had seen a larger machine fixed on the ground in Cecil City, and now she saw a small machine that could be easily transferred. Can not help but bring a trace of admiration and yearning.

If the Royal Army also had such a thing at the time, perhaps the situation would not have deteriorated so seriously... At least, she could gather all the uninfected troops in time, so as not to let most of the troops far away from Boulder City fight alone and lose communication. was transformed into a cluster giant...

But she just thought about it—she knew that Gawain never mind promoting these advanced things, as long as the price was right, but the nobles of the kingdom would not necessarily accept these things that might shake their authority, Especially the mage families who control the communication towers around the world, and the plain nobles who tame the griffins, they will probably spare no effort to obstruct this technology.

"It's nothing, a small problem," Gawain noticed Victoria's gaze, and he could somewhat guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't point it out, "We will fix it here for a day, and then continue to push north - the Crystal Cluster Legion is afraid at this moment. The attack on the capital has already begun, and I hope Saint Sunil can persist until we arrive."

"The important thing is to let them know that there are reinforcements," Victoria said immediately, "I... know the nobles in the capital very well. If there is no news of reinforcements, they may not be able to hold on for three days - even if they own the entire Ansu The strongest fortress."

"...My views on the royal capital's nobles are highly consistent with yours."

...

In the dark and deep underground abyss, the crimson magma rolls and undulates at the bottom of the cliff, and the priests of all things in black or dark green priest robes gather around the huge body of the false god, watching this man-made god from a distance. every breath.

The huge deer-shaped body is now close to full maturity, and a layer of divine radiance shrouds the surface of his huge and elegant body. Various mysterious runes and sacred marks are constantly floating on the white fur that is not stained with any dirt. He looked ready to come to the world, but the last layer of chains was still bound to the body of the artificial god—

The chain wrapped around his neck, hooked between his antlers, the runes on the chain flickered, and the powerful seal and repressive force were constraining the awakening impulse of the man-made god.

Opposite the body of the false god, on a high platform floating in the air, two figures are watching Julu's body from a distance.

One of the figures was a female priest who was half-human and half-tree, while the other figure was a man in a simple black robe with his face hidden in the shadow of his hood.

"Grandmaster, Heaton is dead." Bertila Augustus turned his head slightly and said to the man beside him.

The Grand Master nodded slightly, and the voice coming from under the hood was hoarse and depressed: "I feel it..."

"We have lost an important pillar on the Plains of the Holy Spirit," Bertila continued, "and the Cecil will certainly continue to push north, with an astonishing aggression and destructiveness and military prowess. "

After a brief silence, the Grand Master sighed softly: "Alright...Cecil is stronger than I expected, if our path doesn't work, they might be able to make a path...another path. , mortals have one more card in their hands."

"...If you say something like this, it will definitely cause anxiety."

"Perhaps, but before I leave this world, I prefer to be able to say something as a 'human', rather than the demigod Grandmaster," the Grandmaster said in a hoarse voice, then turned his head slightly , his face is still hidden under the hood, but a pale hand sticks out from the burqa, holding a heavy book, "This book is yours to keep."

"The Book of Ultimate..." Bertila glanced at the book with complicated eyes, "All the answers are hidden in the pages..."

"But there may also be answers outside the pages of the book, such as foreign rogues," the Grand Master looked at Bertila and took the book and whispered, "Prepare for the ceremony, the red maple has been destroyed, and we don't have enough time. ."

The floating platform slowly descended toward the magma lake below, and was connected to the large floating island where the priests were located. After seeing the Grand Master walking down from the platform, the priests who died at the scene all fell silent in unison.

Hundreds of years of planning have finally come to this point, at this indescribable moment, all the exciting slogans and words seem pale, no one cheers, no one applauds, these priests who have fallen into the dark side are just retreating respectfully. , bent down slightly, and watched the great teacher in a simple black robe walk into the air step by step, step by step towards the body of the artificial god.

The final disobedience ceremony.

Man's greatest disobedience, greatest denial and confrontation to God.

Bertila raised his head and watched the Grand Master step by step to the forehead of the holy giant deer. The figure in black robe opened his hands, and his hoarse voice echoed throughout the abyss of flesh and blood.

"God, open your eyes and prepare to meet your humanity!!"

Then, the holy giant deer opened its eyes.
