Chapter 974 Shadow Falling (X)
[The only truth in this world is power! Am I right? ]

[α, Z, 175?]

"What is the most important thing in this world, Tang Zilong?"

Pylos threw his notebook on Tang Zilong. Tang Zilong lay on the sofa, looking away from the news reports on the magic station. He looked at Pylos with a little doubt. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Through the clear lenses, Skarner was leaning against the white wall with his eyes closed.

At 202 Charles Street, the magic station was reporting the "big events" that happened today in a serious voice.

[Arlan Royal Museum was robbed and many treasures were stolen! 】

"It's inheritance!"

Pylos glanced at the magic table with some displeasure, then took a sip of coffee with anger and helplessness.

"This incident is very serious. The Explorers' Association has communicated with me. Many of the treasures I donated have been stolen, including those donated by other colleagues or sold. All of them have been terribly stolen."

He pressed the front part of his left hand on the sofa, held up a cup of coffee in his right hand, and signaled everyone to look at the magic table, even though there were only Tang Zilong, Skarner, and himself there.

"The fakes on display and the genuine works hidden in the magic circle were all stolen by the bandits whose origins were unknown. Except for... some artworks that were not of any use value."

Tang Zilong opened Pylos's diary, which was densely covered with Pylos's drawings, profiles, descriptions, and instructions for use of the treasure.

He disdained such old stuff, but in the world of magic, if the treasures with the mysterious "word spirit" properties were used improperly, the disasters caused would be immeasurable.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the whole world will be in chaos again."

Tang Zilong gently closed the notebook and put it aside.

"So, having said that, I have never understood why you believe so much that magic can protect something. No one can tell for sure about the level of magic."

He looked at Pylos. Pylos was neatly dressed today, wearing a rare suit and tie. His slender figure made his blond hair look even more dazzling.

Pylos moved his slender hands from the sofa and put them into the pockets of his black trousers. The smooth trousers were folded straight down at the knees until his shiny leather shoes were pressed against the trouser legs.

Pylos was dressed too formally, so even Tang Zilong, who always wore a white coat, felt uncomfortable because Pylos was always covered in dust and dirt, either crawling out of a cemetery or rolling in a swamp.

"Where are you going?"

"Go meet Kraft, he should be at the museum by now, I need to go to the site to verify what is missing."

As Pylos drank his coffee, he must have been prepared for a long battle.

It makes sense to think so. This guy is one of the best archaeologists in the principality. With him present, Kraft will probably feel much more at ease.

"are you going?"

Pylos placed the coffee on the table, put on his pocket watch, and put it in the lapel pocket of his suit.

He looked at Tang Zilong. He didn't think Tang Zilong would be interested in his "job", but he still asked him because Tang Zilong couldn't go anywhere now.

The Downton Technology Building is in Rastar. Rastar has been unconditionally blocked and everyone is restricted from entering and exiting, including Tang Zilong who originally belonged there.

It has been half a month since the Empire declared war on the Principality. During this half month, the Empire's small-scale attacks were fierce, and it did not launch a large-scale general offensive. Such things had happened before Longxu Gong, and they all ended with peace talks. They were regarded as minor fights between the "big guys".

Although everyone's focus is still on how long the war can last, this museum theft is like a "house thief" taking advantage of the situation, so all departments of the Principality attach great importance to it.

It was only natural to invite Pylos.

But Tang Zilong was not invited.

"What should I do?" Tang Zilong clicked his tongue twice.

"To be honest, I used to complain a lot about magic, but I can't stand watching others stare at old antiques and guess what they are thinking. It's so tiring, it's better to just sleep at home."

After Tang Zilong finished speaking, he lay on the sofa on his side, with one hand on the top of the sofa, lying there like a beautiful woman who was about to fall asleep. The magic station resumed its coverage of the war.

"But, I heard that this time is obviously different. They used extremely unusual weapons to destroy the magic circle guarding the treasure." Pylos slung his tool kit over his shoulder and straightened the black shoulder straps. His suit was pressed down and his eyes turned to the magic table.

[The cause of the forest fire is still under investigation. How long will the war last?! ]

"For example, future technology."

Pylos said something very threatening.

In the Principality, although magic has the upper hand, the branch of magical science [mechanical technology] is also developing synchronously. Downton Technology is a top technology development company that integrates all the cutting-edge technologies of the Principality.

The Ranger Cavalry that has not yet been mass-produced and the laser guns and cannons that only the supreme military commander possesses come from it.

One of the co-creators of the Ranger Cavalry and the laser guns and cannons was Tang Zilong. According to internal information, if the Empire did not end the war within a month, General Kraft would assign the secretly trained Principality sharpshooters equipped with the latest laser guns and cannons to fight.

Future technology made Tang Zilong sit up with a jerk. He turned his head sharply to look at Pylos, who smiled as if he knew he would do this.

"Why? Are you suddenly interested in magic?"

After Pylos finished speaking, he adjusted his suit. The white shirt propped up his handsome chin, and he moved it a little, revealing his white and smooth collarbone.

"It's true that I won't reject magic."

Tang Zilong stood up and shook his white coat.

He stroked his hand through his black hair, and it took only a second to go from a slicked-back hairstyle to a sloppy and messy one. He hummed in a cool way, and looked at Pylos suspiciously.

"Don't lie to me! Pylos, do you know what future technology will look like?"

"I don't quite understand."

Pylos patted Skarner's arm gently, turned around and opened the door. The apple tree in front of the door rustled in the wind, like a natural and pleasant doorbell.

"But, that shouldn't be magic. If you think so, I think you will want to go and take a look. Your sister is there too."

Pylos spoke out the name of Tang Zilong's sister in a resounding voice.

"Tang Zixu."

Tang Zilong suddenly became serious again.

"Shouldn't she be in Rastar?"

"Kraft invited her."

"Kraft didn't invite me!"

Tang Zilong put his hands in his pockets in shock.

"He asked me to invite you."

Pylos walked straight towards the street, Skarner followed him, and Tang Zilong closed the door doubtfully.

"Really? I don't believe it..."

Pylos turned around and gave him a helpless yet kind look, then turned around and put his hands in his pockets.
