Chapter 670: The Edge of the Vortex

East, White Sand Hills, Mine Station.

A temporary sentry tower stands on the high ground near the platform. Vigilant sentries and armored vehicles guard the station together. A special freight train is parked next to platform 1. The rear half of the train is several open carriages. Cargo chassis, some of which are already stacked with cargo, while the only empty chassis in the middle of the train is waiting to be loaded.

With the low sound of mechanical operation, a large tractor drove up to the high platform of the loading and unloading area under the command of the guide. The heavy pallets dragged behind the tractor were covered with huge sheets of sheets, which blocked the goods inside. But judging from its huge size and vague outline, this is probably no ordinary ore or mechanical equipment.

On the platform, Pittman is watching the final process of the transfer of goods - the hook of the lifting device has been connected to the tray at the back of the tractor, and the engineers are replenishing the weight-reducing runes of the tray, and half of the soldiers in charge of escorting are already there. Boarding the train, two officers are leading the rest of the soldiers to check the situation around the train to make sure nothing is wrong.

Beside Pittman, Hom, the head of Baisha Mining, couldn't help smacking his lips: "To be honest, this is probably the most difficult cargo in the world..."

"But it still needs to be closely guarded. There will always be madmen like all things die," said a young female knight with a single ponytail, a good figure and a valiant appearance, "especially if it needs to be replaced halfway. Transport means, you can't be more careful."

Pittman smiled and glanced at the female knight: "Miss Margarita, don't always be so tight-men don't like women who are like stones."

Margarita looked serious: "I am a knight, and then a woman."

"...the same type as Philip," Pittman muttered, moving the corners of his mouth. "It's really boring to talk about."

The female knight only arrived in the White Sands area today, and she was ordered to escort the vital cargo all the way to Saint-Sunil—it would be a rather long journey, although advanced means of transport had greatly shortened the journey. Time, but due to the limited coverage of the magic energy track, she must first take the team to the Gelan area by train, and then transfer people and goods to a cargo ship, passing through the Cecil, Kant, and Rock areas along the waterway, crossing the The entire Holy Spirit Plain, and finally to St. Sunil - the overall journey is not short.

Her task will be an important part of His Majesty's coronation.

task pressure,

Coupled with her own personality, this made Miss Margarita always look a little tense, and it was quite boring for Pittman to communicate with such a person.

His whispers completely fell into Margarita's ears, and the rather serious female knight turned her head and said solemnly: "Master, if the way I speak makes you unhappy, I am very sorry. Sorry - I'm really not an interesting person. We'll be working together for a long time, and I'll try not to affect your mood."

"Don't, don't, I can't stand you talking like this... How can this be more serious than Philip's symptoms," Pittman waved his hands vigorously, and then sighed a little, "But then again, now in the Cecil Corps There are not many 'standard' knights like you, most of the knights who have been promoted on the battlefield have no time to learn your set of things..."

"Those knights who have been promoted on the battlefield are more worthy of respect, their loyalty and bravery are worthy of their titles," Margarita said seriously, "I have heard General Philip say that this is a world that has begun to be turned upside down. In the era, old things will be eliminated and new things will replace them. This is an inevitable trend. As for the 'that set of things' you said... Maybe there are some contents that are out of date, but loyalty and responsibility always are necessary, and they carry over to the new knights."

Pittman couldn't help but glanced up and down at Margarita, and suddenly brought out a hint of emotion: "Girl, you should be very proud of your identity, right?"

Margarita straightened her body and showed a reserved smile: "Maybe many people think that the status of a knight just means a good background, but I think it is better to be able to prove that you are worthy of this status through hard work. Something to be proud of."

She did not hide her pride and pride too much, but chose to express it in a reserved way - this is in line with the norms of knighthood, because a qualified knight cannot avoid or hide his excellent qualities, even for the sake of showing With humility, these prides must also be properly displayed.

Hearing the other party's words, Pittman stared at Margarita for a while, the hippie smiling face in the past did not know when he had subsided, and he was a little ecstatic, as if he had suddenly fallen into a certain memory.

Margarita blinked in confusion, looked down at herself, and said, "Master? Is there anything wrong with what I just said?"

"No... I just suddenly remembered an old friend..." Pittman sighed softly and said leisurely, "When I first met him many years ago, he said something similar."

"Did you also know a knight when you were young?" Margarita became curious, and then had some expectations, "Having said something similar... Then I would like to get to know that gentleman, he should be a worthy man Respected man."

"Unfortunately, that guy didn't have the chance to meet a beautiful lady like you, he died many years ago," Pittman shook his head, "and that guy just said similar things, and his personality is not very serious, even if he lives to this day. You don't expect him to be an older version of Philip—it's a bit closer to Byron."

Margarita didn't care about Pittman's ridicule, but pursed her lips with some regret: "Have you passed away... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"It's all right... it's been many years ago, an old man like me won't care about this with you," Pittman laughed with the corners of his mouth twitching, then turned his face, looked at the goods being loaded, deeply Sighing, "And it's more confusing than those who are already dead...living."

The rattling sound of the hinge movement came from not far away. With the assistance of the mechanical device, the weight-reduced cargo was placed in the middle of the cargo chassis of the train. The soldiers stepped forward and used a crowbar to turn the lock on the chassis. Buckle to lock the cargo pallet and the train chassis.

A gust of wind blew from the direction of the plain and lifted a corner of the sheet cloth. At that moment, a part of the structure of a huge skull flashed through the gaps in the sheet cloth.

The whistle sounded on the platform, and the commander began to gather soldiers and arrange for the rest to board the train.

"Era of the Empire... The thing that made that guy tremble for half his life is gone after all."

Pittman grunted softly and stepped forward, heading for his own carriage.

Several apprentices who were waiting by the side immediately stepped forward, took the old Druid's cane, and held his old and hunched body.

Margarita stood there, looking a little confused when the old Druid left, but soon she put aside these things that were not related to the mission, the female knight from Kant sorted out her own affairs. Dressed, turned around and nodded to Holm: "Mr. Holm, we're leaving now - thank you for your assistance, and I wish you a smooth future mission."

Holm showed a smile and took off his hat. "I wish you a safe journey, Miss Knight."

Accompanied by a loud whistle and successive runes, the huge freight train started slowly, accelerated in the direction of the platform, and headed west.

Holm watched the special "truck" leave, and then turned around and walked outside the platform.

He still has a lot to do...

The sampling of the remains of the false god's body has ended. The valuable experimental samples were sent back to Cecil City in batches a few days ago. The remaining flesh and bones were also completely cut, and the skulls were transported to Saint Sunil for donation. Along with the emperor, the rest of the skeletal remains will be transported to the South, where they will be divided and sent to several research facilities or secret warehouses for long-term research.

When he learned the truth behind the wreckage, the slave laborer-turned-mine director felt chills down his spine and had sleepless nights after returning to the mine. However, after seeing the cut flesh and bones, his fear disappeared. , at this moment only sigh-

The power of the gods was stolen by humans, copied by humans, and finally destroyed by humans. This world... is really going to be turned upside down.

As a non-religious person, Holm is now going to deal with the scene left after the body of the false god was transported away.

An assistant in a short black jacket walked over and asked, "Sir, did the superior say what to do with that big pit?"

After the body of the false god was transported away, there was a huge tiankeng between the mine and the river. The scale of the crater was so large that it became a headache, and it was unrealistic to fill it up. , but when it comes to being useful, the assistants of the mining company can't think of a use for a while.

"Let's go to investigate the soil and topography around the pit first, Mr. Bruce will lead the engineering team over tomorrow," Holm nodded and said, "The Government Affairs Office has plans to introduce the water from the Baishui River into the pit and build a When the artificial lake comes out, it will be more convenient for mines to take water, and settlements can also be built around the artificial lake. The East Territory is already ours, so we no longer need to consider the development agreement we signed with the Loren family. This mining area...it's time to expand the scale. ."

The assistant opened his eyes in surprise: "Artificial lake?"

"Yeah, the name is ready, it's called Baisha Lake," Holm turned his head and glanced in the direction of the mining area and shrugged, "I originally thought that it would take another three or five years to blow up here to build a lake. Unexpectedly, friends from the deep sea helped us dig a hole in advance..."

...

The soft waves crashed against the sand, against the massive alloy walls that stood on the edge of the sand, and the bright sun shone on the white sand, starships, rocks, outposts, and friends from the deep sea scattered among these things.

The deep-sea friends were paralyzed on the beach, as lazy as the afternoon sun.

Thousands of mermaids paralyzed on the beach basking in the sun, the scene was spectacular.

In this lazy and laid-back atmosphere, the voice of a siren came from the speaker equipment set up all over the beach: "Thirty minutes is up, everyone is there, turn over!"

A small number of Kraken raised their heads and looked at them. A few responders stretched their waists hard, and then patted the beach with their tails with a snap, and turned over in place, but more Krakens didn't even have their heads. Didn't lift it up, just continued to bask its tail and body in this lazy sunshine, and didn't even bother to turn it over.

The Kraken, who was in command of the broadcast, didn't make a sound anymore - it seemed that he was too lazy to remind it a second time.

On the engine platform at the rear of the starship that extended to land, Queen Petia of the Kraken glanced at the scene on the beach, and the long snake tail swayed gently: "It is correct to let the sisters eat in three batches... Doping impurities require more energy to filter and purify, and they amplify the 'inerting effect' after we eat."

For the Kraken, basking in the sun after a full meal is not inherently lazy, but a part of normal physiological activities-in order to transform those unfamiliar energies and substances, they must use the magic energy irradiation from the giant sun, because they themselves Not capable of handling those energies.

In fact, even the transformation of energy and matter by basking in the sun is the result of their efforts to adapt and evolve after arriving in this world. Before coming to this world, the Krakens had no concept of "basing in the sun" at all.

The world they originally lived in had no sunshine, only endless oceans, and almost never-ending violent storms, thunder and lightning.

"The new food has a lot of impurities, but it has brought us precious energy supplements and a brand-new original energy sample," said a siren with long blue hair and obvious cheek scales, "After actual testing , After ingesting new energy samples and carrying out adaptive transformation, all sisters have enhanced their ability to adapt to the world to varying degrees. Coupled with the pure arcane energy provided by rainbow technology as an aid, many sisters have already I can faintly perceive something called 'magic'."

"Magic power..." Petia said softly, lowered her head, and rubbed her fingers.

A small cluster of arcane sparks burst from her slender fingertips, short and bright.

"It's a very uninhabitable world for the Kraken, but finally... we can slowly make this place home."

"As you said."

"Hathaway, notify Tyre in the next contact, and raise the human race 'Cecile' to the second contact standard," Petia said, "We will be happy to share the knowledge of the ocean with our friends on land - if They have the courage to challenge the ocean in the future."
