Chapter 1147 Return to Twilight

The barrier is still the same barrier, the Twilight City is still the Twilight City, steampunk is still the same steampunk, and the Twilight Guards are still the same group of Twilight Guards - of course, the last group of people have changed somewhat from when they first met, such as Everyone generally had a circle of bandages wrapped around their foreheads. In some serious cases, the bandages had been wrapped from their foreheads to their crotch, giving them the air of a dead soldier returning. Anyway, when Hao Ren saw it, he lamented why these people had to fight so hard. Everyone was hurt. If it's like this, it's better to just go back and lie down. Standing in line on the avenue to welcome them at this time is just to create trouble for Galadra and the others...

Of course, even if these people are really here to cause trouble for Galadra, it won't be of much use. The dignified Dragon Queen is a prosecutor with thousands of years of experience. What is the concept of thousands of years of experience? It's basically impossible to describe it as an old fried dough stick. It's at least the level of oily residue, the kind where the face doesn't change even when Mount Tai is collapsing in front of you, and the nerves are as tough as the peripheral necrosis. Hundreds of scarred and angry Twilight Guards stood on both sides of the avenue. Galadriel and Antony marched past with their chests puffed out like parading troops in front of the group of people who had just been beaten by them. , while walking, he praised: "Young man, you played well just now." "You are all brave people, I admire you very much." "Soldiers, you have worked hard!" "Little brother, I am surprised to see your bones. You have lofty eyebrows, are you interested in learning magic patterns with me?"

This is basically the case.

Odin has awakened from centuries of chaotic slumber. The great "Old One" has regained control of the entire city in a short period of time, and the Twilight Guard has now returned to the Iron Throne. After Hao Ren had a brief conversation with Odin, everyone returned to the city from the main entrance of the Twilight City in an open and honest manner, and the Steam Council also enthusiastically - whether voluntarily or otherwise - showed a welcoming attitude, and the city's Guards lined up along the steel avenue where light seekers once set out on their journey to welcome the foreign heroes returning from the Nibelungen. Steam chariots and armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the avenue, while the residents living in the outer edge area were trembling with fear. The ground poked its head out from a nearby building and looked at what was happening on the avenue: For these numb miners, life has always lacked changes, and this unheard-of battle before them made them a little at a loss.

Seeing Galadriel and Anthony greeting the Twilight Guards on the roadside with a carefree expression, Hao Ren, a newcomer who had only been in office for a few years, was still a little embarrassed. He tugged the Dragon Queen's sleeve from behind: "Speaking of this sister, is it okay that we are so familiar with each other at this time?"

"What's the problem?" Galadra shook his head indifferently, "I sincerely praise them - although these guys are a bit indiscriminate, to be honest, they are all quite men. We have fought many battles, but it is rare that someone who swoops down in the form of a giant dragon dares to raise his head and curse at me, tsk tsk, these are a bunch of good soldiers."

Listening to the Dragon Queen's heartfelt emotion, Hao Ren curled his lips and said nothing. He thought that this female Dragon Queen's thinking was really different from ordinary people, but look at the person next to her who was arresting someone and forcing her to accept her as her disciple. The old Dharma God, he suddenly felt that Galadra was quite down-to-earth...

Those who were urged to line up on both sides of the road also included the spider robots of the Steam Division Six. These huge and intimidating black iron machines folded their mechanical legs and crouched on both sides of the steel avenue like small fortresses. The multiple pairs of compound eyes on the head flashed with red light, watching Hao Ren and his entourage vigilantly as they passed in front of them. For these special elite troops, even the orders from the Steam Council are not absolute. These scientific madmen who regard the safety of the city as their only mission still maintain a considerable degree of vigilance against these "invaders" in front of them.

However, one of the spider robots suddenly trembled when it saw a little guy in Hao Ren's team, and then unconsciously moved half a step back. The huge movement of this huge robot immediately attracted Hao Ren's attention. He turned around and took a look, and found that one of the robot's mechanical legs was obviously newly installed - and not far behind him, the little devil Elizabeth was walking next to Yzaks with a silly smile on her face, the little girl in her arms. He was also holding a mechanical ball with a complex structure. It was some kind of stabilizer that had been removed from the belly of the spider robot before. As for the mechanical leg that the little girl regarded as a treasure, it had already been rubbed hard by Hao Ren. It was received into the portable space...

When Nangong Wuyue saw this scene, he couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead and sighed softly: "Hey, why do you suddenly feel that we have sinned so much?"

"What a shame," Nangong Sanba crossed his arms, "We are here to help, they are the ones who took the initiative to call us."

This unlucky demon hunter with half a bucket of water was the only injury in the previous battle. When he was doing the sixteenth group of poses, he was caught by his sister's tail and thrown to the pillar next to him. At this moment, he was full of resentment.

At the end of the welcoming queue, Hao Ren saw a small group of people. Many of these people were wearing the uniforms of the Steam Parliament, and they looked like they should be the legendary senior members of the Parliament. In addition, there were some people wearing black robes and The figures wearing crowns of thorns are undoubtedly the representatives of the ancient saint Odin: the caretakers.

It can be seen from the composition of this small group of people that the transfer of power in the city has been completed. However, outsiders do not know how much internal operation and thunderous means were involved in the transfer of power completed in such a short period of time.

Lily stretched her head and looked around the group of Steam Council members, then turned to Wendell regretfully and muttered: "Old man, your prodigal son is not here."

Wendell smiled helplessly: "Hope... is just an ordinary police captain in the Steam Council and is not qualified to appear here. And I guess he doesn't want to see me at this time."

"Oh, I know, the world view is shattered," Lily nodded with a knowing look, "When I first found out I was a husky, I was so devastated that I couldn't sleep for half the night. Fortunately, I thought about it for the rest of the night. Just thinking about it, I forgot about it..."

Wendell: "...?"

"Angelica," Hao Ren came to the small group of people and finally found an acquaintance inside, "I didn't expect the Ancient Sage to get the matter settled so quickly. I thought I would have to spend a long time with the people from the Steam Council. .”

Angelica showed a gentle smile, but her answer seemed to be a little off-topic: "The ancient saint is the foundation for the survival of the entire city."

As she approached the female caregiver, Lily couldn't help sniffing. She saw several slightly weird caregivers standing behind Angelica. These caregivers had black steel masks on their faces. , the black robe on his body is thicker, and the crown on his head is not a thorn, but a circle of decoration that looks like the tip of a spear. Lily smelled a hint of blood in these gloomy caregivers, which made her think deeply.

Hao Ren also noticed this. He looked at the several members of the Steam Parliament next to Angelica, but unfortunately he didn't know what the previous members of the Parliament looked like - if he did, he would find that one-third The senior members of Parliament did not appear at this place.

But even if he didn't know the inside story, Hao Ren could still guess something.

Human nature is like this. After the ancient saints fell silent for hundreds of years, the members of the Steam Parliament have forgotten who the real ruler of this city is. For short-lived humans, a person who stopped speaking hundreds of years ago " "King" is already equivalent to an ancient legend. If it weren't for the twilight barrier above his head that was still shining, I'm afraid some people would even fundamentally deny the existence of the ancient saint. This tendency is not only found among the people, but also among the Steam Council.

Moreover, people with this tendency in the Steam Council are even more stubborn: they have more power at hand, which makes them even less willing to have an ancient saint suddenly wake up and order them.

Humans are so fickle.

But no matter what, wise people still hold the majority, and the same is true within the Steam Council. The city was completely back under the control of the Ancient Saints and their guardians before Hao Ren and his party returned from the Nibelungs. Odin had already helped Hao Ren Jen’s subsequent work paved the way.

At this time, a ball of white light "swooshed" suddenly emerged from behind Hao Ren. The white light circled around everyone, and then wandered around curiously. As he walked, he murmured: "This place... Look at it from another angle. Sure enough, no the same."

The members of the Steam Parliament suddenly became nervous when they saw another "unknown organism" suddenly appearing. To be honest, they had not yet recovered from the major event of "the awakening of the ancient saints, the reshaping of etiquette, and the reorganization of order." Here comes the God, who is always confused when seeing anything at this time. Hao Ren saw this and said quickly: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is the soul of the World Tree - Xiaobai, don't wander around, there are steam engines everywhere in this place." , I can’t even find you if I fall into the steam.”

Nangong Wuyue sighed: "The soul of the World Tree has indeed turned into a noob..."

The Speaker of the Steam Parliament was a calm and serious middle-aged woman named Lavinia. Hao Ren only told the other party:

"The weather will clear up within twenty-four hours. After it clears up, you must be prepared. This city will soon be uninhabitable."
