Reason told her that Roy had a reason for doing this. A high tower warlock sitting in a high tower of the Witch King might have some dangerous back-up plan. It was the best combat strategy to knock him down in one breath without giving him any reaction time. However, her inner emotions made her look away involuntarily. She took the opportunity to investigate the internal structure of the Originium technique to avoid the pleading eyes of the poor warlock.
"That's about enough. Let's give him a quick death."
After muttering to herself, the Queen coughed twice, trying to attract Roy's attention. When she found that it had no effect, she raised her voice again:
"Ahem! Sir Roy?"
Roy stood up, turned his head, wiped the scarlet on his knuckles on the throne cloth, and responded with a sunny and cheerful voice:
"Come on, come on, what's wrong?"
The Queen noticed the blood splatter on his cheek, and she swallowed her saliva guiltily, and even her voice became softer and lower. She pointed to the pentagram on the wall and said:
"Here is a map of five towers created by magic. Would you like to come and take a look?"
Roy nodded, straightened his clothes that were messed up in the fight, and walked towards the wall where the map was hung. At this time, the queen finally had the opportunity to see the pitiful appearance of the warlock who was pinned to the ground by Roy.
The warlock fell on his back, his face swollen and dark purple, and the clothes on his upper body above his chest had basically become strips of cloth that had no ability to cover him. Scattered around him were a large number of props that could hardly be called weapons, but played an important role in this fight - such as beautiful gilded candlesticks, crystal balls reflecting distorted scarlet light, a stack of manuscripts engraved with mysterious magic knowledge, and even a few shining Victorian gold coins...
The Queen remembered that it was something Roy threw before he entered the room and released the soaring spell. At that time, the thing was as fast as lightning, and it was wrapped in light and had a long tail flame, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance. But it was these few gold coins that pierced through the shield that the high tower warlock was proud of, causing him to spit out blood before he could even utter a word.
Then, Roy landed at the location of the gold coin in the second after the gold coin hit him. The speed was so fast that it was like the legendary teleportation spell, but the trajectory of the movement could still be clearly seen.
【Great Wilderness Starfall】, which appeared in Roy's data, was his representative spell. It was another Originium skill that was completely incomprehensible and even incomprehensible. The Queen was shocked and felt complicated. For the first time, she felt that as an Originium sorcerer, she was shallow in her understanding and research of spells and Originium.
What she didn't know was that the gold coin was actually thrown by Roy instead of the sword, as an "anchor" to point to the landing point of the Great Wilderness Starfall. Generally speaking, this "anchor" usually requires regular weapons as consumables, but Roy has developed a new way to play. That is to use the furniture city war god effect of the [Chongyue] module to directly turn any item into a weapon, instead of consuming a sword every time.
Of course, due to the limitations of the Furniture City God of War, items that were transformed into weapons would return to normal after ten seconds, so if it was a long-distance Great Wilderness Starfall, this operation might cause a bug, causing Roy to get lost due to loss of navigation during the flight. But for this short-distance charge, ten seconds was more than enough.
The combination of effects between different modules can often produce very interesting results. Roy believes in this, so he has always put a lot of effort into researching each module.
The queen closed her eyes and sighed as if in silence for the unlucky warlock who had met Roy. Then she turned her head and immediately regained her gentle and elegant smile. She took the initiative to explain to Roy:
"The location of five towers is marked on this map, but two of them have been extinguished. In addition to the one we destroyed with our own hands, there is another one that should have been destroyed by Teutonic."
"And according to the contents of the manuscript that you used as a weapon, the purpose of the Witch King building these five towers should be to achieve... immortality?"
"Yeah." Roy agreed with the Queen. The location of the tower on the map was in the shape of a pentagram. Even though Roy knew nothing about mysticism and Originium, he knew that this symbol carried the meaning of magic and formation in most areas. The Witch King forcibly moved all the residents of Black Forest City to this strange space and built five towers that corresponded to the real Violet City. He must have some intention. Although the purpose of immortality was a bit cliché, it was a very convincing reason.
The kings and generals enjoy power and accumulate wealth, but their greatest fear comes from death. Only death treats everyone equally, and only death will come and is irreversible. The Witch King has ruled Leithania for decades, and is the most powerful emperor in Leithania from ancient times to the present. It is not surprising that he would pursue immortality. Rather, it is normal to say that it is too normal.
Although Roy knew that the Witch King had undergone "an ascension", he always felt that the former emperor of Leithania was hiding some deeper secrets, but there was no evidence for the time being and it was just speculation.
Then, the one who was carrying out the operation of destroying the tower with them must be the Teutonic Elector who was also trapped inside.
I just don't know how well he knows about these towers.
"We don't have to make peace with him. Since we are all doing the same thing, we will run into each other sooner or later."
Roy put forward his suggestion, and the Queen nodded in agreement, reaching out her hand to take down the map on the wall.
This was also a valuable legacy of the Witch King, and as one of the new emperors of Leithania, she had the right to inherit them. Roy had no reason to stop her, and he took the initiative to lend a hand.
The two of them worked together to take the map off the wall, and the sharp-eyed Roy noticed a line of small words written in Guletanian in a slightly crazy handwriting on the back of the map.
"Wait a mininute."
Holding the Queen's arm, Roy took the other end of the map, turned it over, and slowly unfolded it again.
The Queen also noticed the words on the back of the map and slowly translated them word by word following Roy's movements.
[In order to fight against natural disasters, I will become a natural disaster. 】
Roy's expression suddenly froze.
PS: I don't update every two days, I update every day. I didn't update on April 4th because it was my birthday. I went out to celebrate that day and was not at home.
Volume 1: Chapter 211: False Heaven
[In order to fight against natural disasters, I will become a natural disaster. 】
What an arrogant declaration this is. When the threat to Terra from the ocean was still unclear, the natural disaster was almost the biggest survival dilemma faced by the entire land. It was because of the existence of the natural disaster that Terra was forced to develop the technology of mobile cities. It was because of the existence of the natural disaster that the people of Terra had the source stone energy that angels and demons coexisted. It was also because of the existence of the natural disaster that the planet Terra was narrowly defined as "this land". Even in the oldest books, there was no record of what was on the other side of the sea.
Since ancient times, people have never really fought against natural disasters. They are the true power of nature, and humans can only choose to accept or escape. Even the countless people who pretended to be great prophets and tried to predict the laws of natural disasters have, without exception, only reaped bitter failures.
Yet, there are people on earth who claim that they want to "fight against natural disasters." Such behavior that overestimates one's own capabilities should be dragged out and ridiculed.
But it was the Witch King who left these words. The Queen couldn't help but think deeply about it.
The recognized king of witchcraft on earth, the ascender in the human realm, the great magician who destroyed armies, all these shining halos have whitewashed this cruel emperor, the Witch King. But just as no one can deny his atrocities based on his achievements, no one can deny that his strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people based on his atrocities.
Maybe he can really do it? The Queen thought, half doubtful and half incredulous.
He left this map in this mysterious space that had never been discovered before, and wrote this line of words after this map. What does this mean? Is this Originium spell ritual composed of five towers left in the mysterious space a preparation for the Witch King to fight against natural disasters?
What he is fighting against is a natural disaster, an ordinary one that has been attacking this land for thousands of years without stopping, or a disaster predicted in the portrait of the Witch King that is enough to destroy "civilization" itself?
The Queen was inclined to the latter. Since he got the information about the end of the world from the portrait of the Witch King, the Witch King himself must also know this information. He built this place, perhaps to fight against the predicted ending.
A terrifying, tyrannical, yet powerful, unpredictable and incredible emperor.
The Queen thought so, and after confirming that the words on the back of the map were just ordinary words and there was no other hidden spell, she carefully rolled it up and put it in the pocket of her dress, turned her head and looked at Roy. But she found that Roy's expression was even more shocked than his.
Roy also knew the news about the end of the world. The Queen was even more certain of this, and it was even clearer that the end of the world was most likely not coming from the dark demons, but from a natural disaster.
But in fact, what made Roy feel cold and sweaty was not just the fact that the Witch King knew the end of the world was coming, but this short text.
It’s so similar. This text is so similar.
Roy reached into his pocket for the collectible [Disaster Lab ID Card] that he had obtained a long time ago but had never found an opportunity or way to use. His expression tensed uncontrollably.
[In order to fight against natural disasters, we create natural disasters, but, world, oh world, we still don’t know how to save you. ]
This is the collection introduction of the [Scourge Lab] ID card. A simple and even somewhat ordinary Terra riddle. Except for the lack of the last paragraph that seems to be a soliloquy, it is almost exactly the same as the content of the Witch King's handwriting on the back of the map.
If we must say, there are some slight differences in the wording and sentence structure. For example, the introduction says "create the natural disaster", while the handwriting of the witch king says "I will become the natural disaster". It seems to be two directions, but if you think about it carefully, it actually means the same thing. It's just that the person who said this paragraph changed from the subject of creation to the object of creation.
Let’s look at the effect of this card.
[This ID card can open the door to some unknown places. 】
When Roy first received this card, his first reaction was to think that the "unknown place" referred to in this card was the ancient human civilization laboratory hidden under the deep sea in the story of Shuiyue and the Deep Blue Tree, which was probably only left with the wreckage. In it, there was a stone tablet recording the research and birth of Haisi, and the body of the Deep Blue Tree, the god of growth, whose consciousness had died but continued to grow with the biological instincts set to provide nutrients for the large group.
It was mysterious enough, important enough, unknown enough, and a perfect "key node" location. Roy had long believed that he had obtained the last knight module, and that he would go to the ocean one day to find the ruins. And because he had lost his human body and became a native Kuranta, the module system gave him a key ID card, allowing him to enter smoothly.
But if he looked closely, Roy noticed that among the effects mentioned on this card, there was a detail that Roy had overlooked - "some"!
Ancient human civilization left behind more than one laboratory, and countless secrets. The black crown that now symbolizes the devil - [the survival of civilization], the suspected nuclear-powered home health-care device that protects the only surviving human individual - Chernobyl's sarcophagus, the underground of the Lateran Cathedral, the essence of the law - who knows how many generations it has been updated to, and whether it still uses Windows supercomputers, and Roy's destination - the landship Rhodes Island.
There are unknown things hidden in these things!
This ID card might be much more valuable than Roy imagined!
"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
After patiently waiting for Roy for a while, the Queen found that Roy still hadn't recovered his spirits and called out with some worry. Roy heard the call and forced himself to retract his thoughts that had gradually dispersed even without opening [Water Moon]. Shaking his head:
"No, it's okay. Just remembered something."
"About what?" the Queen asked. Although it was a bit rude, a woman's sixth sense told her that Roy must have thought of some crucial clue just now.
Roy looked at her, his expression struggling and hesitating for a moment. Finally, he paused and said:
"What do you think of the words left by the Witch King?"
"Arrogant, but because he is the Witch King, there is still a glimmer of possibility. I need to take it back for verification." said the Queen.
Roy nodded: "That's right. I can tell you, if the Witch King...if I'm not mistaken, he should have seen the end of the world."
What can drive people crazy?
Although the Sea Si is terrifying, it cannot change the temperament of an emperor. The hatred of the Sarkaz is endless, but they are also residents of Terra. The Witch King's Tower is the tallest building in Leithania, and the turning point of his life was the "ascension" at the top of the tower.
Roy walked towards the terrace, which was high enough to overlook the entire Heisen City shrouded in red fog. He could literally pick the stars with his hands raised.
so.....
"He may have seen the [False Sky]."
Volume 1: Chapter 212: The Dark Cloud of Leitania
On the other side of the sea are enemies.
The Sarkaz of Kazdel are enemies.
The stars in the sky are also enemies.
Roy was sometimes really curious. On Terra, where enemies were everywhere and natural disasters occurred from time to time, how did they survive and develop a deformed civilization that even surpassed Earth's technology in some aspects?
At least the Victoria Shard, which functions as a weather controller and can bring about natural disasters, was something Roy had only seen in Red Alert in his previous life.
But think about it, Kazdel has been razed to the ground thousands of times, and the Sarkaz have been hated and killed for thousands of years, but they still survive tenaciously until now, and even have the spare strength to occupy the capital of Terra's most powerful empire and plot revenge on the entire land. This question is answered.
——Because the people who created and continued the concept of civilization are a group of people who will never succumb to fate.
Roy no longer knew what the Witch King had experienced at the top of the tower. He could only speculate from the fragments of history and the clues he had found in this mysterious tower that the former emperor of Leithnia might have comprehended some secrets from the stars at the spire that soared into the clouds.
Perhaps he saw an alien observatory orbiting Terra?
Roy was thinking wildly in his mind. It is more likely that what the Witch King saw was an unknown existence from outer space, bringing source stone energy and evil spirits. And judging from the current research on evil spirits by the people of Terra, just knowing the existence of evil spirits will lead to a situation similar to memetic pollution. If what the Witch King saw was really the origin of evil spirits and source stone, then what he will have to endure must be the most horrible pollution he has never seen before. With human willpower, it is very likely that he will become crazy because of this. This seems to explain why, after experiencing that "ascension", although the Witch King's magic has made unimaginable progress, his temperament has also changed drastically, and he has become a tyrant who kills without blinking an eye.
While the evil spirits bring pollution, they also have great power. The Ursus Inner Guards are biochemical warriors transformed from the fragments of the evil spirits. They also have a kind of "manipulating space" ability that is difficult to analyze. This coincides with the Witch King's ability to create a space the size of a city and build a magic circle in it.
A coincidence is a coincidence, and when all the coincidences come together, Roy feels that he has touched upon the clues to the many mysteries of Terra civilization.
The Queen was beside him, and her mind was filled with thoughts about the "False Heaven".
The sky is false, which is no secret among some families who practice astrology. As a leader, he also knows that the danger hidden in the sky is no less than the ocean that brought the Great Silence and destroyed Iberia. The picture of the evil demon falling from the sky shown in the portrait of the witch king has also made her alert.
But even though they knew, no one could tell what was above the sky. Terra now had neither the ability nor the desire to explore the outer space.
Leaders like them usually focus their attention on this land, and have little interest in the ocean and sky of this planet. She wanted to continue asking questions to see if Roy, who was like a "prophet", would know more useful information, but after hesitating for a while, she gave up the idea of asking questions now.
They had been delayed long enough in this tower. At this moment, there were at least three more towers waiting for them. Roy would not run away. As for the secrets of the earth and beyond the earth, it would not be too late to arrange a quiet and comfortable place for them to play the quiz game with Roy again after they got out safely.
Patting Roy's shoulder gently, she took the lead and walked down the spiral staircase.
...............
"Her Majesty the Queen and the Elector have disappeared in Violet City! The Elector's guards are also missing!"
On the edge of the country of Leithania, Violet City still stands. This city, which was built in the last years of the Witch King and completed after the Queen ascended the throne, now looks particularly solemn and majestic. The super mobile fortress, [Voice of the Queen], which symbolizes the authority and power of the Queen, now stays outside Violet City. Countless magic heavy artillery has been aimed at the city, and the solemn atmosphere has shrouded the entire city in a haze.
The Queen mysteriously disappeared in Violet City. This news should not have been exposed so quickly. When the Queen came to Violet City, she had already prepared for the worst, and there might be some "small friction" with the Teutonic Elector who had ulterior motives. Therefore, measures to block the news and prevent the situation from getting worse were actually prepared long ago.
But unfortunately, along with the Empress, the Teutonic Elector and his personal guards also disappeared.
It's hard to explain. Even if it was a war, at least both sides would have deployed their forces to attack each other, but the sudden disappearance of the leaders and representatives of the two most powerful factions in the empire made it hard not to have more negative associations.
No one thought that there would be anyone else in Leithania who could hurt them, especially since the guards of the Teutonic Elector were by his side when he disappeared. And according to the last news from the Teutonic side, before they disappeared, the Teutonic had invited the Queen to a banquet.
What kind of banquet was it that ate up both of them?
Hongmen Banquet?
The duel between kings is always mysterious and full of variables, especially when both of them are the most powerful masters of magic in the world. Some people believe that they had a conflict at the banquet, which resulted in the death of both of them. Others speculate that perhaps their magic caused some changes, which led to the disappearance of both of them.
But no matter what, by now, the disappearance of the Queen and the Elector had spread throughout the Violet City along with the approach of the Elector's army and the muzzle of the Queen's voice. Citizens in the streets and alleys were whispering about the disappearance of the Queen. Although this city was not rich, but life was peaceful, it was now on edge. Fear of fate.
In this chaotic and uneasy atmosphere, the nobles of Leitania also began to act secretly. Two electors have already set out to lead their troops to the place where the Queen's voice is stationed. Three other electors began to hold large-scale banquets frequently in their mansions. At the banquets, they pretended to care about the fate of the country and invited many nobles, but they always mentioned the future of Leitania from time to time and made some vague hints. The whole of Leitania seemed to have become a big besieged city at this moment. Within the high walls, the nobles' mansions were silent, and the silk curtains were drawn tightly, as if to isolate the outside world and prevent those conspiracy whispers from being known. Outside the high walls, those glorious and shining art halls are now empty, and few people go to appreciate the beautiful gardens. They have become gloomy and terrifying, and the cries of feathered beasts have become low, as if telling the sadness of the country and the Queen's disappearance.
The power struggle spreads wildly around a violet city like a thick fog that cannot be dispelled.
At this precarious moment, the future of the country of Leitania has become unclear, and outside the city of Violet, a land ship has submitted an application for berthing and is slowly docking in the harbor of Leitania.
Rhode Island has arrived.
Volume 1: Chapter 213 Babel Mining and Refining Co., Ltd.
Leitania, Violet City, docking port.
The document allowing docking for supplies has been approved. With a loud rumbling sound, the Rhodes Island landship, which has officially entered the bottom layer of the mobile city, slowly braked and docked at the docking station. The gangway connected the port with the ship from the side of the landship.
The cabin door slowly opened, and Kal'tsit, dressed in a Leitania-style tuxedo, straightened the silk hat on her head. As she walked out of the cabin door, she couldn't help but frowned her beautiful eyebrows.
If her long memory was not wrong, this docking port should be a commercial port, where merchants would stop here to trade and communicate intelligence between Leithania and Victoria, but at this moment, this port has been filled with a large number of military units. A tense and serious atmosphere enveloped the faces of every person passing by with live ammunition. Some of them held heavy crossbows, some wore exquisite and gorgeous robes, and some gathered in twos and threes, pushing the black cannon in front of them. Obviously, this level of firepower is a bit excessive for any caravan.
They are not businessmen, they are soldiers.
This commercial port is now filled with troops!
What happened in the past few days when Rhodes Island was close to Violet City? Is there going to be another conflict between Leithania and Victoria?
Kelsey asked herself whether she had heard of any unusual military movements by the Duke of Windermere, who guarded the border between Victoria and Leitania, and her informant, Miss Heidi, in Victoria, had not sent her any information about the impending war between the two countries. Could it be a surprise attack like the one in Ursus? Leitania was planning to take advantage of the instability in Victoria to launch a surprise attack on Victoria?
With some doubts in her heart, Kal'tsit took off her hat and bowed slightly to a soldier who was walking towards her, performing an impeccable etiquette. When the soldier came closer, she glanced at his shoulder badge and saw that he was a lieutenant.
"Lieutenant Schneider."
