In the middle of the night, a gate to the south of New Rome rose quietly. The armored gates on the inner and outer layers can withstand the direct impact of missiles, due to the emphasis on defense by the New Roman City. This city located underground, there is a hollow environment between the earth's crust and rocks. It is connected by a large number of rectangular metal objects. These things are not only the supporting nodes between the city and the earth's crust, but also a powerful defense matrix.

When needed, these metal pillars as supporting nodes will generate a laser light curtain on each of the four planes, and the light curtains will be connected through the node surfaces to form a defensive home field that wraps the entire city. In addition to being able to withstand both physical and energy impacts, the light curtain itself also has the characteristics of high temperature, and people or objects that rush into the range of the light curtain will be ignited or detonated.

This defensive home field originated from the designer's pursuit of safety in the New Roman City, and after several updates and upgrades, it has the current scale. In the history of New Rome, it has defended the city from three powerful attacks by abnormal creatures, so it is called the "gift of God", or God's grace for short.

However, the divine grace defense system has quietly changed after it fell into Sauron's hands. As long as Sauron is willing, the defense matrix can not only resist external attacks, but also cut off the connection between the new Roman city and the outside world, thereby turning the city into the largest one. Prison.

Outside the quietly rising city gate, a figure walked in quickly. A team of knights stood on either side of the city gate early in the morning. The knights were dressed in silver armor and decorated with red crosses. A raccoon-red cloak hangs down behind him, which is completely different from the knights of the holy seal knights. This team of knights is Sauron's personal guard, called the "Silver Hand", and each team member is composed of persons with abilities above Tier VI.

Their leader, Wither, was kneeling on one knee, and the silver armor of the same series as the Silver Hand, except that the red cross coat of arms had a pattern of entwined golden thorns. The tall commander, kneeling on one knee, was holding a golden cloak in his hands. After entering the city, the man took the cloak and bound to his body. The cloak slid to the ground like a banner.

With his eyes falling on the cloak on the ground, Wither said solemnly: "Welcome back, Lord Sauron!"

It was Sauron who returned late at night, the true master of New Rome, the commander of the Knights of the Seal. His face was gloomy. Although this secret trip had destroyed Istar, it was far from going smoothly because of the loss of King Arthur and the escape of Franklin. Feeling the depressive atmosphere in Sauron, not only the other Silver Hand knights were nervous, even Wither, who was a confidant, did not dare to take a breath.

Until Sauron said: "Go back first." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sauron has long been waiting for an ornately decorated carriage, which continues the luxury symbol of medieval nobility, but requires a lot of wealth and resources to maintain it. Among other things, just the two tall white horses of the Royal Chariot without a trace of variegation, the resources and money they consume are enough to produce two three-generation round table knights!

These two white horses are the product of genetic engineering in the laboratory of the Pope's Hall. After all, in this era, everything is changing, and it is no longer possible to find such a pure horse. These two horses are genetic creations, and the money spent in exchange for only reflects Sauron's status symbol, which is not difficult to see from the other side of this man's monopoly.

If not, these two horses alone can feed all the civilians on several colonial islands for decades or even longer.

The carriage started, and Wither and the other knights followed the carriage through the quiet street and quietly returned to the papal hall. After getting out of the car, Sauron strode towards the depths of the Papal Hall. Dr. Jian, who received the news, waited early and immediately greeted him as soon as he saw Sauron appear: "My lord, you are finally back. Please forgive my presumption, but I still have to report to you. The lab is simple and chaotic. After the beast escaped, we tried to wake up one or two of his hibernating compatriots to continue the experiment."

"Unfortunately, their physique does not seem to be as powerful as the beasts, and they are also not suitable for our current living environment. After leaving the sterile environment of the hibernation chamber, the two subjects that awakened one after another, the longest surviving was no more than 24. Hours, the shortest one showed a genetic collapse after 3 hours. Although we have a lot of subjects left, in view of this situation, we dare not try to wake up other subjects for the time being, and have to wait for the adults to come back. Another decision." The doctor swallowed his saliva and said: "Of course, it is better to be able to chase Ye Zeng back. My lord, he is our key to a new country."

Usually, Sauron still values ​​Dr. Jane in the Pope's Hall, after all, he is an authority on genetic engineering. Su Long wanted to form an army of capable people, even if he wanted to break through the existing level, he hoped that the doctor's research. Therefore, in normal times, Sauron and the doctor can be called amiable. However, tonight seems to be an exception. Sauron grabbed the doctor by the collar impatiently and pushed him against the door, and said in a cold tone: "Listen to the doctor, maybe before, the beast is indeed our gateway to the new kingdom. The key. But now he is no longer! The true **** has come and he will open a new kingdom for us. But **** it, his key is lost. Now I'm worrying about it, so don't do it for a beast anymore. Things bother me again!"

Letting go of Dr. Jane, Sauron said again: "Compared with this, my King Arthur is already damaged. Could you please build another one for me."

"This is not a big problem. King Arthur's information is on file, and there is also a prototype in the warehouse. As long as it is modified and debugged, it can be put into use soon..." Dr. Jian said nothing, Sauron But it has gone far. The authoritative expert of the Pope's Hall looked at the figure that was going away and had to sigh heavily.

Of course Sauron wasn't in the mood to entangle with Dr. Jane. For him, losing Franklin was like a missed opportunity to advance. And because of this, I don't know what that person will do to him. Of course, Sauron was sure he would not kill himself. He knew very well that the silver demon had to pass him to dominate the country.

This approach is just like when he pushed the 5-year-old Paul into power more than a decade ago, and he was monopolizing the power behind his back.

Thinking of this, Sauron's mouth was bitter.

In a blink of an eye, he came to his palace. Withdrawing the hands of Wither and Silver, Sauron entered his palace alone. Before the demon named Gaia appeared, Sauron's palace was brightly lit all the year round. When he came back, he would be surrounded by his wife and concubines, which never made Sauron feel lonely for a moment. But now, pushing open the gate of the palace, the world inside is dim and cold.

On that day, all the wives and concubines were killed by Gaia. In order to keep Gaia's secret, Sauron killed all the guards and servants. That night, the blood from these corpses accumulated a thin layer in Sauron's palace like a carpet. After the night known as the Bleeding Night, it took three days to clean the palace alone. And the work of cleaning up is done by the noble Knights of the Silver Hand.

After washing the palace, Sauron would smell a faint smell of blood every time he returned to the palace. Even if the fragrant flowers are sprinkled in the palace, it can't hide the smell of blood. So Sauron knew that his palace had become a hell.

Because, the devil is here.

The light in the palace is dim, but the space is much wider than before. After all, those redundant decorations, even the famous paintings that have been preserved from the old times, have been cleaned up, and the space has naturally become more spacious. Only Sauron's luxurious Russian mahogany handmade animal leather chair has been preserved, and this chair is also a relic of the old times. Nowadays, no matter the material or production process, it no longer exists. Just this big chair like a work of art is already invaluable.

In the past, Sauron liked to sit on this leather chair the most, admiring all kinds of absurd performances by his wives and concubines in order to please him. And now, the leather chair has changed its owner.

Gaia was sitting on it with the black long knife horizontally, his hands flat on his knees, like an inanimate body.

Many times, Sauron even thought it was just a corpse. But Sauron didn't have the courage to find out. Hearing his footsteps, in a long inhalation, the body like a corpse seemed to be filled with soul. The invisible power spread slowly across the space like water, and the moment it touched Gaia's power, Sauron seemed to see the sky burning and the earth cracking. Countless fireballs burst into the air, cities and lives withered in the flames, blood is the only theme, here is hell!

Although it was only a short moment, Sauron couldn't help gasping violently. Even because of fear, his hands were trembling slightly. The palace was still the palace, but when Sauron looked at the leather chair, Gaia was no longer there.

"How about what I told you to do?"

A cold voice came from the right side, and Sauron saw that the black scabbard of the long and narrow saber had hit the ground less than 5 centimeters away from his eyes at some point. The distance was so close, Sauron seemed to be able to feel the sharpness and coldness of the sword in the sheath.

He couldn't help but lowered his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me. Everything went well, but at Roaring Bay, Franklin escaped."

"Run away?" Under the silver hair, on the face that resembled Zero, the golden pupil of the left eye reflected the flames of the palace, like a flame in the pupil jumping: "Then why didn't you find him before you came back?"

"Because...because there is..." Sauron suddenly thought of something, and suddenly changed his words: "No, there is nothing there. Please rest assured, I will send an army immediately. Even if I remove all the nearby The islands are turned over, and I will bring Franklin back for you!"

After speaking, Sauron waited for Gaia's instructions. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Can't help but look to the right, the scabbard is gone. Then Gaia's voice came from right in front. He didn't know when he sat back in the leather chair and said coldly: "That's not hurry, Sauron. My kindness is limited, when I wake up next time , I hope I can see Franklin. Otherwise, I don’t mind changing to a servant. A young Pope like that is also a good choice."

Sauron continued: "Don't worry, sir. It won't be long before I will bring Franklin back. Please rest assured."

The power disappeared like a low tide, and the body on the broken chair became no sign of life. Sauron dared to raise his head at this time, and then hurriedly withdrew from the palace.

Soon afterwards, Sauron's roar sounded from the strategic command room: "Call me the pigs in the war department! I want to see them within 5 minutes. If they don't arrive, they will be killed immediately!"

In his roar, the knight of the silver hand ran constantly, issuing Sauron's orders. Wither stood beside Sauron, wondering: "My lord, what is this?"

"We're going to fight." Sauron called up a three-dimensional map near Roaring Bay, and said with his finger to the sea house: "Declare war on the pirates. This time, no matter how much you pay, I will take them from Roaring Bay. Shovel it away!"

The scenery on the sea is very wonderful, the whole world was still pitch black at the moment. But after a ray of sky jumped out of the sea horizon to the east, the light quickly expelled the darkness, and dawn came quietly.

When the sky began to light up, Destiny also left Istar's east bank pier. While still asleep, Oran received a report from the Destiny. When she arrived at the dock, the strange silver ship had already raised four steel wings, spewing blue flames and drifting further and further. A shallow wave was left on the sea and sailed from the inner bay of Crescent Island to the natural tunnel.

Oran sighed, knowing she had missed an opportunity. An opportunity that may give Istar a rapid re-emergence. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Istar, who has not reached a consensus on future plans, is obviously not ready yet. Oran can't blame Zero for changing without any hesitation, she will do the same if she changes. As long as people who are a little more mature, they will not be willing to cooperate with impulsive people like Jesse. After all, this is not a matter of one person, one place, but the situation of the entire continent.

Oran could understand that Jesse had become impulsive and irrational because of the loss of this important person, Urson, but she would not allow this to continue. Otherwise, what you will lose next time may not be as simple as an opportunity for cooperation, but to lose all the remaining power of the rebels. She had already sworn to Urson's sword and vowed to inherit his will. And all this starts with changing Jesse. If he can't be changed, Oran decides to kick him out by all means. She will never allow Jesse to drag everyone down.

The road ahead is full of thorns, and the watchman has already clenched the sword in his hand. Even if the blood is dripping, you have to go straight to the end of the road.

For Destiny, Istar is obviously not the end of its journey. After driving through the inner bay of Crescent Moon Island and coming to the vast sea through the natural tunnel on the island, the scene of jumping from the dark and narrow environment to the vast sea suddenly makes people’s hearts feel a kind of open mind. feel. Coupled with the golden sky shining on the sea, it is enough to make even the most melancholic look sad.

Besides, Zero is not melancholy, so there is a smile on his face standing on the Destiny ship.

"Master Captain looks in a good mood. I came outside to watch the sunrise early in the morning." Hindrella's voice sounded behind her, and the glamorous female captain took a sonorous step, like the queen on the red carpet. Walked all the way to Zero's side. Then he sat on the boat, intertwined a pair of slender legs, and exposed to the golden morning light without hesitation.

Ling Tan Shou said: "Perhaps you will not understand that we cannot see such a landscape on the continent where we are. Whether it is an old or a new age, the ocean will always be the mysterious realm that mankind yearns for. And now I have the honor to set foot in this realm. , Is there any reason not to be happy?"

"The ocean is indeed beautiful, but sometimes it is also very violent. This is the terrible part of the sea. And the place you are going now is far from friendly." Cinderella sighed softly: "Zero, I don't I don’t doubt your ability. I believe you can defeat all the captains with your own power. But so what? Those guys are all unruly generations. Even if you surrender to you for a while, you can’t use it with all your heart. ."

Zero nodded and said: "I know, Cinderella. I have thought of this before. The reason why you are willing to be pirates is apart from your unwillingness to bow to Sauron. What's more important is to yearn for this kind of freedom at sea, right? "

Astonishment flashed in Hindrella's eyes: "Since you already know, still..."

"But Cinderella, your age of freedom is coming to an end. The sea is no longer your paradise where you want to go. The Pope's Hall will block this sea area with their army, and Sauron will use his method to let you stand on my side. From the very beginning, I have been following the trend. Through the Pope’s Chamber, the favorable situation is directed to my side."

Turned around, with his back facing the brilliant morning light. Zero's whole body seemed to be plated with brilliance, and he stared at Hindrella for a while. Zero stretched out his hand and said in an inviting gesture: "No need to worry, my Cinderella. You just have to watch by the side and see how I borrowed Sauron to facilitate the situation, which in turn turned him off the altar. The raging fire!"

Cinderella responded with a smile, stretched out her hand and let it be held by Zero: "I believe you!"

Three days later ~lightnovelpub.net~ At the same dawn, after fate, he quietly arrived in the sea near the sea house. Cinderella released a pink firework on the ship, and the firework hit the sky and exploded a water monster pattern. After more than an hour, the Water Monster, which had been repaired, drove from Sea House and parked near Destiny. Zero and Cinderella got on the boat and returned to Sea House.

At ten o'clock, the Haihuang Bar opened. X is still wiping his wine glasses in front of the bar, and several waiters are cleaning the floor and cleaning up the debris left by the guests last night. On this morning that was no different from the past, it was far from the time it was officially opened, but two figures came in from the gate that had just been replaced recently. X didn't lift his head, still wiping the glass intently, but said on his mouth: "I'm sorry, we haven't opened business yet. Guests, please come back after noon."

However, an arrogant woman's voice laughed: "I'm afraid it won't work today, Mr. X!"

X moved his eyebrows, finally raised his head, and landed on the stunning figure in front of the door: "Even if you are Hindrella, you must abide by my rules."

"I know, but today your rules must be changed. Not for me, but for him..."
