An approaching breath suddenly interrupted the current topic, and Agatha immediately retracted her finger from touching the mirror.

"Someone is here, a servant."

Understand, I won't scare him. The voice in the mirror was transmitted directly to her mind, "I am by your side. When you search carefully, you will find me," Agatha nodded.

But just before "she" in the mirror left, she seemed to suddenly think of something and subconsciously said, "Is it cold over there?"

"It's not cold anymore. The voice dissipated in my mind, and the feeling of being watched gradually faded away. The other Agatha reflected in the mirror returned to its normal mirror image, with her eyes covered by black cloth and wearing a female Standing quietly in front of the mirror in the priest's robe, Agatha hesitated for a moment, tentatively stretched out her hand towards the mirror, and all she touched was the cold glass - which even made people doubt that everything that just happened was really just an illusion; Almost at the same time, she heard footsteps coming to the door, and at the same time there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Archbishop" are you inside? The old subordinates in the guards still habitually call her "the gatekeeper", while the civil priests in the church have begun to call her "archbishop". Agatha After adjusting his expression, he turned around calmly: "I'm here, come in. "The door opened, and a high-ranking church attendant wearing a gray short robe appeared at the door and saluted Agatha.

"Archbishop, there is urgent news from the city hall. Please go to Southport immediately. General Tirian is waiting for you there."

"The city hall asked me to go to Southport." Agatha frowned subconsciously, feeling that the news was a bit unusual.

"Did you explain what happened?"

"No, it's said to be an emergency and not suitable for spreading." "The senior attendant sounded hesitant, but General Tirian sent a message. He said that the owner of the fire might be interested."

"The expression on Agatha's face changed slightly in an instant." "I understand, go prepare the car, I will set off immediately." Not long after, Agatha had already boarded the steam car heading to Nangang. Considering that Tirian She did not bring any entourage with her to receive the message, but was alone; and on the way to the port area, her mind was filled with endless speculations about what happened to make the "General Tirian" react like this before. During the battle, Southport was once occupied by counterfeit monsters, and the cleanup work is still in progress. Could it be that what they found among the ruins was a blasphemous relic left by the Annihilation Cult, or was it the suspicious remnant after the counterfeit monsters disappeared? Sample "No matter what the possibility is, General Tirian should not have such a reaction; with these complicated and disturbing thoughts, Agatha quickly walked through the deserted and empty streets due to the state of martial law, After passing through a series of checkpoints and checkpoints, we arrived at the southern port area, which was still under complete blockade.

Soldiers of the city-state guard guarded all intersections. The heavily armed church guards were patrolling and inspecting the severely damaged buildings, and marking the contaminated areas waiting to be treated. Priests collected samples in those contaminated areas, and occasionally College students wearing heavy protective equipment can be seen walking between buildings under the leadership of their instructors. They are civil engineering students. They came today to check the status of important port facilities and prepare for subsequent repairs.

The car parked in an open space on the edge of the security zone, and Agatha was led by two soldiers through a busy "work site" and walked towards a rather remote direction in the port area. They finally arrived at He stopped in front of a large building that looked like a warehouse.

"We can only send you here." The two soldiers leading the way turned around and said to Agatha slightly apologetically, "We don't know the specific situation below. The general will explain it to you."

Agatha noticed this statement keenly, but she didn't ask anything. She just nodded gently to the two soldiers and thanked them, then walked towards the warehouse that seemed to have been sealed for a long time and still had traces of war on the outside. go; go;

The people guarding the door of the warehouse are not the soldiers of the city-state guard, but a team of undead sailors. In Agatha's eyes, the living people are clear figures that are warm and exude a faint light, while the undead are empty and pale bodies. In the blurry silhouettes of their figures, smoke reminiscent of ashes rose. After realizing that the entire warehouse was guarded by undead, Agatha further realized that the situation here was anything but ordinary, because compared to the city-state guards, General Tirian clearly trusted his undead army more.

"Madam," an undead man guarding the door came over. His upper body and lower body had been separated, and nearly a quarter of his torso was missing in the middle. There were only some messy floating strips of cloth connecting the two halves of the body. Wearing a new coat symbolizing the Frost Soldiers, but with an armband representing the Queen's Guards on the sleeve of the coat, the undead sailor came to Agatha, even though he looked terrifying, he still An extremely standard military salute.

"After you enter, someone will take you to the elevator. The general is already waiting for you in the underground facility."

Agatha nodded. She was already sure that unless she got to the scene, no one would tell her what was under the ground.

After entering the warehouse, she met another team of undead sailors who were responding to her, and under the leadership of the other party, she found the weapon that was hidden in the corner of the warehouse and seemed to be "digged" from behind a large pile of camouflage wall panels. lift. Then she took the elevator and followed the iron cage all the way down. It took her a few minutes to reach an underground facility that was buried deep in the ground and had never appeared in any official records. She stepped out of the car and saw in the dim and chaotic vision. In the middle, she "saw" a wide hall. The "sludge" left behind after the counterfeit invasion subsided could be seen everywhere in the hall. There were undead sailors cleaning those things, and a tall figure stood at the end of the hall, guarding one. In front of the door; that was General Tirian, the new governor of the Frost City State, and Agatha stepped towards that figure.

"Oh, Ms. Agatha, you are finally here," Tirian greeted him proactively. "I thought you would follow the gust of wind and come here directly from the central area of ​​​​the upper city like the rumors." The wind is on its way - but it's not like I have to run here even though it's half a city away," Agatha said casually, then she raised her head and her eyes fell on the gate behind Tirian, "What exactly is going on here under the Nangang Underground? Why is there such a facility?

"You are surprised, everyone is surprised - this facility does not exist in any official records. If it were not for cleaning up the ruins here, we really would not be able to find it." Tirian shook his head, "You guess we are here Something was discovered in this large, hidden facility.”

"Stop being so pretentious, General," Agatha sighed, and a green firelight flashed across her eyes covered by black cloth. "There are no outsiders here," Tirian smiled. Then his expression finally became serious, and he turned slightly to the side, "You can see for yourself, it's behind this door.

Agatha turned her "eyes" and looked at the door. Blood stains could still be seen vaguely on the door, as well as the craters and dents left in the battle. Apparently, during the previous Frost Defense Battle, no one knew about this building. There was also a battle that no one knew about deep inside the facility. But now, both the invaders and the guardians have disappeared from that battle. She stretched out her hand and "pushed the heavy door open little by little with a little force. The locking device of the door had been destroyed, and the thick alloy door moved aside with a creaking sound, revealing a more spacious door covered by gas lamps and The space illuminated by electric lights appeared in Agatha's perception, and the smell of salty seawater penetrated her nostrils. She stood at the entrance of the hall, staring blankly at the solid figure in her field of vision. Between the beams, there is a huge machine that looks like an ellipsoidal dome, and diagonally below this huge machine, at the end of a chuanchang slide, is the source of the sea water—it is obviously a waterway, and the other end leads straight to it. The sea stood there in shock for a long time before Agatha broke the silence.

"This is a bathyscaphe, ma'am"

Tirian exhaled softly, with an indescribable complex emotion in his tone, "It is based on the blueprint of the last generation of deep submersibles. It uses many newer technologies, which are more advanced than what we used back then... many."

"The suspicion in her mind was confirmed, and Agatha couldn't help but take a breath," and then suddenly turned her head: "Who built this?"

"It may be Archon Winston, or it may also be the previous Archons - we have not found detailed construction and approval records, so we cannot confirm who issued the initial construction order," Tirian said slowly Manchu said, "Based on the small amount of information found so far, this facility was operating secretly until at least two months ago.
