Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Turasha leaves.

One of the Six Sisters Temples of the Elements that defends the Tower of All-Seeing, the Water Elemental Temple - Admiralty Building.

This building also shows the glory and financial strength of the Austrian Law Council. It is 196 meters high and on the 31st floor. It is the headquarters of the Council's naval sequence. The building is restrained and calm. Out of awe-inspiring majesty, like the sea, calm and calm breeds the power of destruction.

Building such a huge structure is expensive, but not impossible.

In fact, building structures similar to reinforced concrete have long been discovered, which originated from elves. The pointed ears found that the structure of the earth blocks intertwined with plant roots was extremely strong, so when building earth and stone buildings, they manipulated the plants to take root and strengthen the lock. , supplemented by spell enhancement, it is extremely practical.

They used this technique to build high towers and palaces. The majestic buildings like miracles awe the barbarians everywhere, especially the White Tower, which is one of the symbols of elf civilization.

Later, the council and the empire also discovered similar secrets. Their druid skills were far inferior to those of elves, so they settled for the next best thing and chose more cumbersome manual labor. It's no worse than the elves.

However, this is not the progress of the times and the breakthrough of civilization, but the flash of inspiration of the individual, which immediately becomes a monopoly like theocracy and monarchy. Due to the lack of smelting technology and architectural knowledge, such discoveries and innovations have not brought about architecture It is a new era of history, but it is firmly controlled by the interest class.

The monarchs and nobles built taller castles and more majestic palaces, making the foolish people who lacked knowledge more docile and awe-inspiring. They also built tall city walls and fortified fortresses. This technology really benefits the people. There are very few, and the pariahs are allowed to live in high-rise buildings when they are full, and they can just make some wood, thatch and mud to paste a house, how can there be so many things.

Later, this technology was even mystified, which may also be related to the technical direction and civilization form of the other world. The architects who mastered this technology are also accomplished in the field of land law. No one will study any elasticity theory, and there is no What mechanical calculations do people do? The research focus of spellcasters is on rune development and enchantment research to maintain the stability of buildings, or the casting method of element composite materials. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to promote magic and magic. transformation and magic.

As long as there are more mysterious elements in these high-rise buildings and majestic palaces, these spellcasters who master the core construction skills will gain more benefits. This is called technological content, and this is called technological monopoly.

The Temple of the Six Sisters and the Tower of All-Seeing in Turashaye are the wonders of the earth rising from the ground under this guiding ideology. In this way, the Austrian Council declares the ancient history and the richness of its heritage in order to defend knowledge value, and the exalted status of spellcasters.

In the central core of the sixteenth floor of the Admiralty Building, here is the "perfect node" in the sense of phase theory. The structure is stable, the protection is tight, and the element concentration is extremely stable. This is between flashes, with a total of 144 distributed. There are teleportation circles, of which 64 have been put into operation.

This is the most valuable and important property of the Admiralty, not only because of its high cost and consumption, but also because of their significance - this is a door to survival, ensuring that the most valuable talents of the Austrian Law Council are in the most Survive in times of danger.

Phase Technician Tolan is on duty here tonight. This is a leisurely job. His daily task is to check the stability of the various teleportation array arcane nodes and the balance of space power. At least in the five years he has been employed, he has not encountered any A delivery event.

After all, this is the Admiralty. So far, no maritime force has been able to force the council fleet to start the escape procedure. Even if there is, the proud navies are categorically reluctant to escape.

- But sometimes they simply surrender.

As soon as he thought of this, Tolan laughed out loud. He took out a canary candy ball, opened the wrapping paper, and put it in his mouth. After more than ten days, everyone heard about the embarrassment of the Azure Fleet. They surrendered directly to Aurora Kant in the far port. Although the Admiralty issued a gag order, everyone knew it.

"Tolan!"

The microphone on the wall roared, and the sonic resonance traveled along the metal conduit to this point. It was his boss's voice: "The order of the Tower of All-Seeing, and then check the teleportation array No. 016."

Tolan was startled, then shrugged: "Okay, okay."

Which ship does Teleportation Array 016 correspond to? He put the candy paper away, and then passed through the phase shuttle seats. The teleportation formations like small altars floated dreamlike dimension stones, shaking out a piece of elemental tides, and the scenery was like a dream.

But after watching the dreamy scene for thousands of years, he should get tired of it. He walked to the teleportation array No. 016 and checked the arcane circuit again. Tonight, he is already checking this phase seat for the third time. The tower of all-seeing seems to be Pay close attention to this teleportation array, or rather the ship it represents.

"Everything is normal, the dimension stone is stable, the local elements are balanced, the arcane energy circuit is smooth..." Tolan's mental power guided him and checked all the way, "There is no problem."

"For hard work, I will repay the Tower of All-Seeing."

Tolan raised his hand and raised his hand, Quan Dang said he knew, but didn't answer, he turned around and paced, touched another candy, and said to himself, "Check check check, check your ass, I always feel that all eyes are on it. The gentlemen of the tower are expecting something to happen to this teleportation array, damn..."

Before he finished speaking, a strange roar rose from behind, and a blue arc of light suddenly erupted!

Tolan turned his head in disbelief, and saw that the seat of the phase was shining brightly, the suspended dimension stones were buzzing, and the sixteen dimension stones were spinning like planets. The dark sphere, and then, a dimensional stone derailed and rushed into the black sphere, the sound of glass breaking and then burst, and a figure fell from the illusion!

Tolan opened his mouth.

After five years of employment, he has never seen a successful teleportation, but the phantom demonstrations and employee manuals have depicted the scene countless times. He said loudly: "Phase transition detected!"

The caster pulled out his staff, pointed to the void, and the alarm on the podium was activated instantly.

The dazzling and urgent warning was transmitted to the duty office of the Admiralty Building, the secretary's office, the theater attendance, and the disaster investigation team. The door opened, and there were intense and dense footsteps from the upper and lower floors. The gendarmerie, law enforcement and war agencies were coming!

After all this was done, Toran's staff was pointed at the Phase Teleportation Array.

Sweat dripped from his forehead. This was the first time. A person rolled down from the teleportation array not far away. Tolan pointed his staff, the runes around the teleportation array flickered, and layers of illusory walls of light rose up. .

"Soldier!"

He shouted: "I am the phase technician Tolan, the person in charge of the rotation between flashes. According to the regulations of the Admiralty's Emergency Manual, I will activate the isolation regulations. The five-layer isolation enchantment and the sixteen kinds of disinfecting and purification spells will be Block your contact with the outside world and remove possible foreign substances."

"The upcoming life department security team and the gendarmerie department review team confirm your innocence and loyalty. On behalf of the Tower of All Sight, I ask you to obey all orders, not to make any hostile actions, if you have any doubts or dissatisfaction, you can go to the navy afterwards. The Justice Department files a complaint!"

He shouted out the normative terms in the manual in a rush, let out a long breath, and the formations rose up one after another, but to his surprise, the people who were sent out just curled up on the ground and didn't say a word.

Tolan frowned, raised his hand and pointed out the staff: "Identified!"

A bit of magic power leaked out like a rainbow light, passed through the barrier, hit the opponent, and reflected a blue flash. The magic feedback proved that the opponent was a member of the naval sequence: "Soldier!"

He shouted loudly, but there was no response at all.

Tolan gritted his teeth, waved his short staff again, and pushed the mage's hand in the air, gently touching the opponent's shoulder - then, the man lying on the ground with his back to him finally got up and turned his head.

The Phase Technician backed away in horror.

He saw a smiling face, a face with a very bright smile, but his eyes were completely split, and blood and tears dried on his face, which made the bright smile extremely creepy. He bit his fingers and let out a weird smile. , the corners of his mouth are extremely high, his gums are exposed, his eyes are hollow, like... a puppet.

ten minutes later.

"Dakul Clark, the navigator of the Sea Voyager, graduated from Lawrence College, majoring in the law of the sea branch of the Department of Hydrology, and minoring in astrology and leylines..."

The report was interrupted impatiently. The core members of the Star Court stood behind the thick radiant barrier and looked at the people on the healing table. Senator Oxington said: "I don't care how many degree certificates he has, I want to know how he did this, what the **** happened!"

"Severe mental shock, MP."

The inspector of the life department reported to the bigwigs: "Combining the position of the wounded, it was initially determined that when navigating for a special ship type, the soul force of its exploration of the environment had a spiritual collision with an unknown powerful individual. The disparity is huge, so the spiritual defense line and the soul structure are instantly destroyed..."

Congressman Oxington turned his head and asked, "Will Kant do this?"

Senator Fermat on one side said coldly: "Mr. Oxington, as a core member of parliament, you cannot use your paranoid and arrogant prejudice to suspect and slander another powerful man with considerable influence and international status!"

The other party retorted: "Our loyal warriors have fallen to such a situation, there is no news about the other crew members, and the advanced ships built with a lot of money are in danger of destruction. You are still speaking for Kant?"

He said sharply: "Why, don't you think the Sea Voyager shouldn't go to the Broken Isles? Do you think we should be at the mercy of Kant?"

The Great Speaker sighed.

The two deputies who were arguing with each other immediately shut up.

The supreme leader of the Austrian Council stared at the crew on the opposite side of the radiant enchantment. In the absolutely closed secret room, the other party was examined by three heavily armed medical officers.

The Great Speaker asked: "In the blink of an eye, over there at the Phase Teleporter..."

"So far, no second crew member has been sent. We have sent emergency communications three times, and there is no response." The Minister of the Navy was present in person, "Speaker, you see..."

The Great Speaker sighed again and looked at the inspector: "Can it be cured?"

"Hope is slim, Your Excellency." The other party bowed his head and said, "His soul defense line is completely broken, and his will is scattered. If he wants to heal, he must patiently sort out the branches of his soul and nourish him with soul stones. Only then can he have a chance to restore him to his original state. memory and personality, which often takes years and does not guarantee success.”

The chief speaker sighed: "It's been too long..."

"Your Mightiness?"

The leader of the council turned around and said: "Your Excellency Minister, bestow the Starry Medal of Honor and the Certificate of Heroes for Master Dacul-Clark. His widow and children will enjoy all the honors and benefits during his lifetime, and his family will receive two awards every year. A full scholarship admission indicator for Lawrence College, his immediate bloodline is preferred, this process lasts for three years, all the aftermath is handled by the Admiralty, and the Tower of All Sight thanks him for his dedication and sacrifice—thanks to him at the end of his life, Provided valuable intelligence clues for the council."

He walked outside: "Bury him in the cemetery of the sages."

The members looked at each other in dismay, and then left silently. The inspector of the life department stayed for a moment, and called the deputy on the side: "Prepare for the soul bombardment and memory search techniques."

"with all due respect."

Senator Fermat walked a few steps, one position behind the Great Speaker, and whispered: "The Haizan shield can only last for five minutes, it has been at least twelve minutes now, and the phase teleportation array still has no movement, we sent it urgently. There is no reply to the contact information - the Grand Speaker, the fate of the Voyager of the Sea and the rest of the crew seems to be doomed, and the testimony of Mr. Dacourt does not make much sense."

"Mr. Senator, what do you want to say?"

"Your Excellency, we must prepare for the worst."

Senator Fermat whispered: "The Sea Traveler has little chance of surviving, but the Azure Fleet is still heading towards the Broken Sea. Do we have to reconsider Kant's warning?"

Kant said that there are terrible monsters in the deep sea, thirsting for flesh and blood, and cannot let it have a chance to wake up.

Otherwise everything will be unimaginable.

"It's not certain what attacked the Sea Voyager!"

Oxington's objection sounded again.

"Until further clues and information are obtained, we cannot stop and retreat! If it is really Kant's ghost, then we have fallen into his trap!"

By now, he has almost opposed it for the sake of opposing it, not because he is against Kant, nor because he wants to sing against Senator Fermat, but because—if he retreats now, the heavy loss of the Voyager of the Seas will become The high cost of wrong decisions.

This raises an interesting question.

Who is responsible for this?

Great Speaker? Of course not, what a joke.

The answer is simple.

Whoever danced happily in the first place must now pull the list.

In order to avoid becoming a scapegoat, the Oxington Senator, who is a strong advocate of action, must continue to jump, or at least maintain a hostile situation with Kant, or even brew a conflict.

Only conflict can protect him, so that the council has to continue to rely on his power and strength to seek the possibility of fighting against Kant's forbidden spell.

He even had darker thoughts.

How to prevent yourself from taking the blame?

It's simple, just make the pot so big that you can't carry it on your back.

The Grand Speaker pondered for a moment and said, "I have ordered the Azure Fleet to slow down and expand the scope of inspection and reconnaissance. We must wait... I need more information."

They were waiting at the Admiralty, looking out on the 21st-floor terrace at the gleaming city, with the cool breeze blowing, the sky was already dimly lit, the sun would soon rise, the night was coming to an end, and the deputies were silent. As they spoke, unease slowly rose in their hearts.

Not even the Oxington MP continued to speak up.

About fifteen minutes later, the sound of flying wings came from afar, and the alchemy eagle roared and dropped a golden cylinder. The speaker reached out to catch it and glanced at it: "O'Malley's news, he was ordered to lead the team. Traveled to Far Harbor for anatomical research work…”

The mana flowed in, the cylinder shattered, radiating light, and the text composed of thunder and lightning flashed away, captured and read by the powerful spiritual power of the great speaker. In an instant, the leader of the Austrian law council showed a look of astonishment, and even He blinked involuntarily, thinking he was wrong.

He murmured, "How big?"

The members did not dare to spy on their own, exchanged glances and urged each other to inquire, but at this moment, the door of the terrace was pushed open, and the inspector rushed in with a pale face: "Your Excellency the Speaker!"

The speaker turned back suddenly: "What did you see?"

"The high platform, the palace, the underwater city, and... the vast spirit of the unknown creature that shattered his soul and prevented his heart from collapsing, and the surging frenzy after the spirit touched, together with a voice, the spiritual power is so strong, even Dakul retells the final scene, and the shocking mental oppression still shakes my heart, who is well defended."

"What voice? What did the voice say?"

The inspector whispered: "—Mudblood."

His Excellency the Speaker finally changed his color completely.

The wind on the terrace was cold, and the Grand Speaker stood there. The councilors were already extremely uneasy, but no one dared to break the silence. However, it didn't take long for another uninvited guest to appear roughly, and went to the Sea Voyager because of the danger. The Minister of the Navy, whose communication platform continued to contact the submarine, appeared staggeringly, went straight to the Grand Speaker, and handed over a very secret document: "Your Excellency!"

The Great Speaker looked down, and after a while, his expression was like a frozen sculpture.

After a while, he raised his head, his face full of daze and disbelief, and after a dead silence, he said in a low voice: "Send a message... to Kant."
