Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The full name of the search team led by Kant was the "Special Action Corps temporarily formed by Goethe to investigate the disappearance of the Dragon Mission".

It was referred to by Kant as the "Survey Corps" for short.

It was actually officially adopted and recognized by Goethe, and the title was used in the administrative documents and orders issued to the provincial and municipal governments along the way.

This is the logistical supply and central command base of the Survey Corps, used to coordinate supplies, mobilize personnel and issue orders, and now has a new function.

That is to conduct sorcery research and mystical analysis.

In a specially developed isolation area, isolated from the outside world with holy runes and magic barriers, and the sun holy artifact as a blockade and suppression, the protection here is comparable to the top biochemical laboratories on earth, and the houses cast by the sky alloy are used as the Mysterious laboratory, heavily guarded, the highest level of vigilance.

In the laboratory, everyone present was wearing heavy protective prayer clothes, completely isolating any internal and external exchanges, using light runes to defend against erosion and resist curses, and built-in a can of Druid super-activation spell skills to activate the life vine seeds to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. Pyroxene quickly performs photosynthesis and converts oxygen.

Even the chips of the goggles are made of natural Qihuang crystals, which have the function of blocking mental power, so as to prevent strange and unpredictable mental attacks from invading the brain through the eyes, the window of the soul.

The whole body is fully protected.

Kant glanced at the gloves through the chip. The gloves were heavier than the clothes on other parts of the body, and the back and palms of the hands were tattooed with blood-colored words. He just learned these words recently.

"Touch with caution".

"Not to be careless".

Just like the complete safety regulations of all walks of life in modern society, in fact, they were all born out of countless tragic stories and heavy losses, which are the **** lessons and regulations summed up by latecomers... Today, this kind of fully armed and meticulous The imminent enemy, built on the basis of many heavy and terrible disasters, the other world is less safe than the earth.

Then he heard a low voice: "His Royal Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness Kant, everyone, please see."

In charge of this research work is the dean of a prestigious school in Lucerne, Danfeng, who has had several connections with Kant and is an expert in the field of mysterious exploration.

In this investigation operation, Goethe and Tina packed all the top people who could be mobilized into the investigation corps, regardless of whether they could be used or not. This move has a very deep intention. These top Goethe figures worked with Kant to gain a better understanding.

Now it has come in handy.

The caster touched the coat of arms on his chest, and the Rashid Stone in the center of the coat of arms was filled with magic, extending the protection of the soul to protect the wearer's heart.

Then, the mage's eyes lit up with arcane brilliance, and his hands touched the two brass hemispheres on the console in front of him. The next moment, two alchemy robotic arms were unfolded on the test bench sealed by reinforced crystals, joint bones and human beings. No difference, he waved a few times in the air, turned left and right, and made several complicated gestures.

"Successful spiritual link." The apprentice on the other side stared nervously at a spar, "The color of the transfer soul stone is normal, and no signs of alien spiritual power erosion have been found."

Kant can probably understand that cautious mages avoid direct contact with samples, and using mind power is not a good choice, because it means direct contact with spiritual power, there is still the risk of soul erosion and infection... So use mental power Manipulate the alchemy arm for experiments.

But I am still afraid that the unknown mysterious power will physically infect the alchemy mechanical arm, and then carry out spiritual infection through the soul connection between the mage and the mechanical arm. establish a spiritual connection.

The soul stone has a characteristic that it will change color when it encounters the passage of spiritual power. If more than one spiritual power passes through the soul stone at the same time, it will show a different color from the previous one. This is a terrible warning, which means that there is an unfamiliar force. Spiritual power is being transmitted retrogradely to the caster through the sample.

The experimenter can immediately carry out self-protection and self-rescue through the instructions in the emergency treatment manual.

Really painstaking.

How many mages have been tossed to death to come up with so many complete methods...

The thoughts in his mind turned, and the robotic arm had already reached for the experimental sample.

Those were the corpses of a few monsters that came out of the ground. Before sealing the underground cave, at Stella's urgent request, a few were left out, and they were quickly contained by the biochemical troops that came later.

"The samples we got are divided into two types, first, the remains of the mutant birds that attacked the two scout mages, and second, the corpse of the nameless monster that rushed out of the underground cave and directly clashed with His Royal Highness Kant. Judging from the eyewitness testimony of the two mages and the retrospective images of His Royal Highness Kant, these two very different creatures have many things in common."

The index finger of the robotic arm stretched out an invisible wind blade and began to cut the wreckage: "First, they are all aggressive, fearless, and avoid danger, and have lost their survival instincts as living creatures."

"Second..."

The air knife cut through the flesh, revealing the strange muscles, blood vessels and bone structures inside. Even though Kant's biological knowledge was limited to high school, and most of it was given to the teacher, he could see at a glance the huge body structure of this creature. irrational and bizarre.

"The muscles are completely torn, the bones are twisted, and the blood vessels are bursting. This is not the trauma after the attack, but the state of its life. If the body structure of a creature is in this state, then I can absolutely assert that it is a The rotten flesh that can't move will burst its heart and die in the next second, and this creature did not die, but used its sharp claws to climb the stone wall of the cave at a speed of 20 to 30 meters in one second. Going like crazy, leaping and biting, it's totally unreasonable."

The spellcaster stared at the broken muscles and said lightly: "And my teacher taught me that things that do not conform to common sense are the mysteries that mages seek."

"And the mystery is this."

The robotic claw grabbed a **** mass of flesh from the dissected corpse.

The green sac fluid, dripping blood, and liquid tissue kept slipping down, and purple stardust shimmered in it, little by little, shining a strange light.

"We found the same mysterious energy from the remains of birds, which is purple in color and has a very high energy density. It is judged as xenogeneic erosive energy, biological infection type, destructive erosion, and can completely change the body functions of the infected. Life structure, great threat, and…”

The caster's mental power was transmitted, the base of the test bench was opened, and another corpse was raised, which was the remains of a relatively complete bird: "Also eroded by alien energy, this bird is far less infected than the nameless monster, It should be a recent infection, so there is an internal parasitic mutation."

"In terms of the degree of infection alone, the unknown monster in the ground is obviously more perfect. It can be said that the whole body is completely infected, but it has reached a new balance and state, and has become a ferocious predator..."

"This shows that they have been affected and infected for a long time, which means that this energy has been around for a relatively long time, rather than falling from the sky a few days ago."

Oh, it freaks me out.

I thought it was a bang on the Tiber that brought Tiberium to the world.

Hearing this, Kant and Stella looked at each other.

stable.

This time, the pot on the dragon's head was a little heavier.

Damn, no, maybe they really did it.

Hold.

The mage here is still explaining: "We have tried every means to extract this substance, and have carried out various element sequencing and mysterious tests. Compared with the Alien Invasion Atlas revised by the Austrian Law Council in February this year, the test results do not match any one. Gangmu, your two highnesses, we have reason to believe that this is a new alien energy that has never appeared in the historical records of this planet..."

Stella's small face collapsed, and she turned her head slightly, not to look at Kant's face.

The casters don't realize it, and scholars also have the desire to talk and express, but the research field of these people is too profound, which is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people, and they can only beep to their peers.

And for this spellcaster, what better listener than His Royal Highness Kant, a Forbidden Mage and Great Alchemist, who was recently discovered to be quite accomplished in space and soul?

Although he was explaining, it was no different from an academic report.

"I have to admit that although this brand-new erosive energy is extremely dangerous, it has incredible performance. Regarding the prototype or body of this alienated nameless monster, we are going to apply to Danfeng Lucerne for transfer in Druids, highly accomplished in the field of zoology, came to study, but it has now been confirmed that a new xenomorphic energy turned this creature into a terrifying killing machine."

"This energy makes the infected nameless monsters become bloodthirsty and aggressive, and it also greatly enhances their offensive capabilities. The original body functions of this creature have been completely destroyed, but the destroyed body and this kind of The perfect combination of energies gives them a whole new level of power, increased speed, incredible mobility, sturdy armor, sharp minions..."

The mage looked up at Kant: "You should be aware of this."

The flame of the phoenix flashed in Kant's eyes, and he also discovered the elemental perception power of fire thieves.

"The claws and teeth, and even the carapace on the body, have been reinforced in a targeted manner."

In the sight of the fire thief, this predator, whose lower body was smashed by bullets, still ferocious and ferocious lying on the experimental bench, the teeth in its open mouthparts, the sharp claws with its powerful forelimbs, and the The layers of the stretched carapace all have mysterious elements arranged and effective in complex ways.

That means... he can learn and replicate.

"That's right."

The caster said, "And the strengthening effect amazes me, even without any processing, the sharpness and armor-piercing performance of this minion is enough to compare with the top weapons, and the carapace can even resist magical attacks. We have not yet carried out the next step. A step of research, but the alchemists have already speculated..."

Speaking of this, the mage took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps, this energy can impart an effect similar to enchantment to the parts of the infected organism by itself, but the process is not very beautiful..."

Kant thought for a while: "In other words, we can build an absolutely safe pasture, keep putting animals and the like into it, let this energy contaminate and erode, and then harvest them regularly to collect the reinforced body parts of these animals to come Build weapons, armor, or even machinery?"

The caster was stunned for a moment, then said in shock, "I didn't expect to be able to do this!"

He then came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, there is no absolutely safe place. Even if there is, it will relax over time and cause a huge safety accident..."

"Also, Your Excellency, the ability to infect creatures and strengthen their body parts... is really nothing."

The mage's tone became solemn and solemn, and he slowly exhaled.

"And that's why there are only four of us here now, my student was involved in my last experiment and he was the insider, and my thinking is, at least for now, there can't be more than four insiders."

"You two, please see."

Arcane fire shines in the mage's eyes. In the sealed test bench, the elements are slowly gathering, and a small dazzling spell is gradually taking shape. This lighting spell is one of the required skills of the mage, and it is also the most popular adventure. Skill, the effect is to create a small light source, floating around the body, illuminating everything.

This light group was generated in the test bench, right next to the group of organizations filled with mysterious energy.

The next moment, both Kant and Stella saw that a purple mist floated out of the tissue, and it merged into the spell model of the Flare Technique by itself.

Then, the light group was instantly blazing, and the light intensity instantly increased several times.

Stella's face changed suddenly: "What did you do?"

"As you can see, I just cast a normal dazzling spell." The mage's calm tone revealed a trace of uneasy fluctuations, "and this alien energy augmented the effect of this spell on its own."

"in other words."

He turned to look at Stella, and also at Kant: "This mysterious energy that has never appeared in history and records is a natural magic amplifier for spellcasters."

"For the magic circle, it is a long-lasting magic power pool."

"For a magic tool, it's an overload button with no side effects..."

The mage lowered his eyes and said softly, "You know what I want to say."

- But it is also a terrible poison that erodes creatures and alienates life.

Stella's eyes froze for a moment.

Kant's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Have you used it?"

Fuck, it's Originium.

The other party met Kant's gaze with a magnanimous expression: "No, Your Highness, perhaps my strength is not worth mentioning compared to yours, but I still maintain my noble soul as a spellcaster, restrained, cautious, careful, calm, Remember the lessons of the ancestors and the mage's creed."

"I have always remembered those words engraved in the Explorer Hall of the Arcane Council."

"First sentence - Mystery and magic are not free."

"Second sentence - On the extraordinary road to explore the essence of the world, what mages pay is often not hard work, but..." The caster said slowly, "The price."

"I believe you don't, Your Excellency, because I still remember a story you told me in the first arcane class." Stella came back to her senses and pulled Kant gently.

The other party laughed: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, if one day you pick up a staff that can give you endless magic power, what should you do?"

There was also a smile in Stella's tone: "Report to the Austrian Council immediately and contain it."

Because neither mystery nor magic is free.

Born from a different plane, with a long history, and appearing in the present world through various methods, the so-called artifacts, the so-called voices of ancient powerhouses, the so-called enlightenment of fate... Mage who are addicted to many temptations and traps, Deprived of the body, removed from the soul, exiled, tortured, mad, collapsed, degenerate, countless lessons have become the lessons of the latecomers, the mage's creed has only two words.

Be careful.

"I have made a preliminary analysis and judgment on this unknown energy, and have come to a major conclusion. The task of being a spellcaster and a researcher has been completed. Next is the political stage. My apprentices and I will self Confinement until the decision of the two and even the Archduke."

The other party bowed deeply: "But please be careful, Goethe is standing at the crossroads of history."

"Thank you for your contribution to this country." Stella bowed back, "Your Excellency Fuendit, my teacher, please allow me to ask for your guidance and advice again. Do you have any suggestions?"

"The brand-new alien energy should be reported to the Austrian Law Council immediately, and the executive officers of the life safety department will carry out emergency containment and disposal..."

The mage's voice was also full of unease: "But the Arcane Council is not a powerful department that is completely detached from the countries, and still has to be controlled by the interests and positions of the countries. This kind of energy has never been seen or heard, and its significance is far-reaching. It can even change the national power balance of the countries and conduct a new round of power shuffling, I don’t know if the Austrian Law Council can contain and ban it as always, or…”

It is still divided up, researched and used for military expansion by countries.

Stella, of course, understood this.

She whispered: "No wonder those dragons entered the cave..."

This kind of thing also has a huge temptation for the dragon clan... especially for those dragons who want to make the dragon clan great again all day long...

There are usually only two ways to deal with this kind of thing.

First, make a fortune in silence.

Second, report to international organizations for containment.

But whether the latter can maintain a neutral and detached attitude in the face of this new form of energy with great potential and far-reaching significance has not yet been known. If not, the news is leaked, which is not good news for Goethe. Everyone understands the truth of sin and guilt.

And the former...

Who can guarantee that this kind of thing is not a gift from the devil?

The second princess froze for a moment and said softly: "I have to think about it, we have to think about it..."

"Yes."

The two changed their protective equipment, and after twelve disinfection and purification procedures, they left. The experiment on the samples had stopped. The researcher was really self-styled in it. Stella was breathing the outside air, and there was no one around. , She was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Kant.

"You said it, it's a brand new alien energy," she said, "What do you think?"

Kant thought for a while, then bowed his hands and said, "I accept your blessings."

"..." Stella was stunned for a moment before she understood.

Kant said before that whether it would be a brand new energy, the kind that was not recorded by the Austrian Law Council, was denied by himself. The odds of getting it are just as small...

-Then this guy said that you are auspicious?

what does it mean!

Any complaints about my Tina?

Is the Phoenix King unable to satisfy you?

I really feel like a lover!

She raised her eyebrows and scolded: "What time is it, are you still daydreaming? You still accept my auspicious words? Do you really think that the goddess will fall in love with you? What a joke, if the goddess can fall in love with you, so I…"

The next moment, a fiery red shadow flashed from the front, and the gorilla leaped over a few steps, jumped up, hugged Kant directly, and hung on him: "Kant Kant, why have you been here for so long!"

Kant was hit by two headlights, making him uncomfortable.

He pulled out his head forcefully and asked Stella, "What about you?"

PS1: Ah, let me tell you, the setting of Originium is similar to Tiberium...
