Secretary of the Devil's Castle

Fatalia nodded, probably understood what was going on. In layman's terms, the animate generated by the Sharp collar was not just the animate of the Sharp collar, but also included the so-called XI-09 node, and absorbed the node There is a lot of energy in it, no wonder it is so strong, and it is understandable why Viscount Sharp can affect the demon kings scattered all over the island. After all, if the XI-09 node is moved, it is equivalent to the pan-spirit itself. can affect other locations.

It's just that Fatalia is curious why Viscount Sharp didn't notice the existence of this self-discipline system, but 【->

"Reply: Yes, do you want to execute the command?"

Is it possible?

Fatalia, who was not expecting much because of the large string of orange-yellow triangles in the command set, was a little surprised. She opened her eyes and said to Ender in reality: "Father, I think we will be able to I saw that ancient ruin."

Ender was taken aback for a moment, but before he could say anything, a certain energy fluctuation that was so huge that he couldn't help but feel a little frightened spread out, and the surrounding space quickly distorted, creating many flashing arcs in the air ——That is the phenomenon when the mount space and the real world coincide.

And soon, a huge silver-white building changed from virtual to real, and appeared in front of them.

It was a not completely regular hemisphere, composed of many hexagons with a side length of one meter, with a diameter of about 500 meters, and a height of 100 meters or more, shining dazzlingly in the sun.

"This is……"

Ender looked up at the sudden appearance of the building, and instantly became vigilant. The sudden energy fluctuation just now is definitely not at the level that ordinary people can grasp.

Fatalia smiled slightly, raised the card in her hand and said: "It's called the XI-09 node, and it's an ancient relic hidden in the real dimension. If nothing else, it should be the most important one discovered so far. Ancient ruins."

"Huh..."

Ender sighed, and then tentatively approached the building. When he was only two meters away from the node, the hexagons on the surface of the building quickly blurred and decomposed, revealing a gate that could allow two carriages to pass in parallel. , and behind the gate is a corridor made of silver-white alloy, leading to another alloy gate.

During the safe period, Ender didn't go directly into the building. He stood outside and touched his chin, then turned his head to look at Fatalia: "Tell me in detail, I'm curious, how did this happen?" Something happened."

"Of course, this is not something difficult to explain, and I need to tell others the correct way to use this card. After all, I can't always focus on exploring ancient ruins."

Fatalia nodded, and then continued: "First of all..."

After a while, Fatalia fully explained, and Ender nodded thoughtfully. At this time, he also felt a little hot in his heart when he looked at this strangely shaped huge building. The truths mentioned are very curious, but compared to that, the ruins in front of him are of greater value to him now because of the technology and creations of ancient civilizations!

This is completely an unprecedented huge secret treasure!

It's hard to imagine what kind of things are waiting for them inside one of the nodes, but no matter what it is, it will undoubtedly provide great help to the current Cairns Empire, even if there is nothing inside, the building itself It is already a huge wealth.

The legacy left by the mysterious ancient civilization is a priceless treasure on the mainland, but now such a heavyweight existence has been discovered in the Cairns Empire.

More importantly, they now have a map that reveals the burial sites of many ancient relics. Although it is not sure whether this card can be used in all ancient relics, not all ancient relics are hidden in the mount space guilty.

Undoubtedly, this is a major discovery, whichever it is.

After subduing his inner excitement, Ender patted Fatalia on the shoulder: "If you are a commoner, this one credit alone will allow you to be named a Marquis."

Fatalia shook her head and said, "It's a pity I'm not, and I don't care much about it. Now I'm even more curious about what's in it—Royal Father, can I stay here for a while to study?"

Ender stared at Fatalia for a while, looked at her excited eyes and still didn't say such incomprehensible words to tell her to go back to class quickly, so he nodded helplessly and said: "One month at most, and pay attention to safety. "

Maybe it's time to get some people out of the big prison, they are very useful in exploring unknown ruins.

(*bad language)

(This part of the plot can be regarded as finished, and it is patching, ambush for the world view, and digging holes. It makes me sick.)

Chapter 22 Fatalia: ?

"Volunteers are undoubtedly very useful in exploring unknown boundaries. Without taking into account the cost of consumption, the main structure of the XI-09 node was fully ascertained in just one week, and the consumption is actually not much-this probably It was because the pre-set access rights of the self-discipline system were lifted, the defense machinery that might have played a great role was not activated, and those poor people who became consumables were all because they touched something that they shouldn't touch.

"The XI-09 node is not only those buildings on the surface. Its scale is much wider underground. It is initially judged to be at least a hundred times the size of the surface buildings, but the exact scale cannot be judged. The space folding technology used inside the XI-09 node, The actual capacity may be larger, but this also caused trouble for our surveyors, because although it is not felt at all, the space inside is actually distorted all the time, which causes every measurement of the surveyors to be inaccurate, even at the same time Measurements made for the same location will also be inaccurate, and the spatial rules there are completely beyond our grasp in the real dimension, and without the technology of ancient civilizations, we have no way to calculate.

"Aside from these, the XI-09 node also brought us great surprises, the most obvious of which is the large number of magic props. The specific number and types are still being counted, but there is no doubt that it is a huge number. But At the same time, we also learned a disturbing news-those magical props were nothing more than daily necessities in the eyes of ancient civilizations.

"Now I am more and more curious about how ancient civilizations disappeared.

"And on the other hand, I think the key point is the system log. Because there are too many, sorting out is probably a troublesome task, and because the database of the XI-09 node itself has been in disrepair for a long time, there may be many damages that cannot be read. However, even so, it is of considerable value. After all, these are important materials that can interpret the knowledge, ideology and history of ancient civilizations.

"Mr. Francis has shown great concern for the XI-09 node, but it is also a matter of course. As a greedy man, he prefers to explore the unknown. It is impossible to be uninterested in such a relic of ancient civilization. In addition, try to stop, It didn't stop him. But fortunately, the academic academy doesn't mean that they can't continue their work without Mr. Francis, so the impact is not big.

"The record ends here."

Fatalia snapped the black notebook in her hand, and put it back into the ruby ​​necklace on her chest.

It has been a month since the discovery of the XI-09 node. Although new things are discovered every day, Fatalia has no idea of ​​leaving at all, but the time has come.

She has to go back to school now.

Fatalia looked back at Ender with some reluctance, "Father, please inform me in time if you make any important discoveries."

Ende nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, no matter how big the discovery is, I won't let you back."

Fatalia: "...?"

(-【 +

Gazing at Ender with a little ferocity, Fatalia turned and walked into the portal.

Ende looked at the bloody swirl in the air that was gradually being smoothed, and stroked his chin thoughtfully: "The personality seems to be a little more lively, does it really get along better with people of the same age?"

At the same time, the City of Holy Light, St. Redis Cathedral.

The familiar magic circle of cutting corners, the familiar priests with distorted faces, and the familiar interior of the church.

Fatalia came to the City of Holy Light again, but she was a bit more looking forward to it than when she came here before. Now she can't wait to die at the XI-09 node.

"I'm bothering you again."

Fatalia nodded to the priests in front of her, and one of them shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Then please try to reduce the frequency of using the demon summoning circle as much as possible. common sense will be affected.”

"Being impacted is inevitable."

Fatalia waved her hand indifferently and said: "Times have changed. The Cairns Empire has established contact with the mainland for six years. It is time to realize that demons are no different from other races."

After all, she didn't care about the reactions of those clergymen, but walked out of the church calmly, preparing to go to the dormitory area of ​​St. Radius College.

Counting it, I haven't seen Favna for more than a month. I really feel a little uncomfortable, and I don't know how her relationship with other people is going. After all, Favna seems to hate Marianne for some reason... But Don't worry, Marianne is still very reliable.

Well, maybe we can make some progress.

With this in mind, Fatalia got off the carriage and walked to the door of her dormitory. She reached out and grabbed the door handle, twisting it slightly to make sure the door was not locked.

Although the door is not locked, it is not certain that there are people in the house. People in the City of Holy Light do not have the habit of locking the door.

What are you thinking about so much, let's go in quickly.

Fatalia shook her head helplessly, and was about to open the door to go in, but at this moment Marian's voice suddenly came from the room.

"No, Favna, no! Are you going?~"

Wait, what's going on?This can no longer be said to be progress, should it be said to be evolution?

Fatalia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened the door: "What are you doing?"

Then she saw the scene where Favna was standing behind the chair and tightly hugging Marian's head. Only then did Marian speak the second half of the sentence: "I'm going to the brain department!"

Fatalia: "...Really, what are you doing?!"

Seeing Fatalia who broke in suddenly, Favna was taken aback for a moment, and the strength in her hands subconsciously relaxed a little, and then Marian seized the opportunity to break free from Favna's arms of death, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes He rushed in front of Fatalia: "Fatalia—you are back! Favna is really scary!"

"So... what happened?"

Fatalia still couldn't understand the situation in front of her at all, so she could only pat Marian's head reassuringly, and at the same time turned her suspicious eyes to Favna.

The little maid politely raised her skirt and said, "You're back, master. I just punished someone for being playful."

"Fancy heart?"

Fatalia raised her eyebrows, looked down at Marian who buried her head in her chest, "Marian?"

Marianne immediately raised her head and said decisively: "Are you kidding! I have my heart and soul for Fatalia! Flora is just a friend I met in the club!"

"But you and Miss Flora are a little too close."

Favna also took a step forward and added: "If you want to become the future princess of the Demon City, you must not be careless in your private life."

"Wait wait wait wait..."

After hearing what these two people said, Fatalia held her forehead with some headaches and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about at all. First of all, Marianne, please don't say such jokes in the future, in case someone takes it seriously That's another troublesome thing, and Fafuna, the princess, you come to my room and explain to me later! When did I mention this kind of thing?"

"Oh……"

Marianne curled her lips and stood up obediently, without saying anything, and Favna did not speak either, but just lowered her eyes without saying a word, obviously not intending to explain anything.

"Compared to some of these..."

Fatalia sighed helplessly, put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm back, don't you welcome me?"

"Then..."

Marianne blinked and blinked, then threw herself on Fatalia with a smile and hugged her tightly, "Welcome back, Fatalia!"

"Welcome back, Master."

This time, Favna didn't cast that cold gaze on Marianne, she just bowed her body, and the corner of her mouth raised a curve that no one else could notice.

"Okay, you calm down first."

Fatalia tried to pull Marian off her body, but the more she pulled Marian, the tighter she stuck to her, so she had no choice but to give up, "Don't hug me so tightly, I won't disappear suddenly——by the way, I thought it was Fafe Na will hug me."

"Hey, I ran fast~ By the way, you came back after a long time, let's go out to eat together!"

Marian let go of Fatalia, and said expectantly: "Call Leo and the others too, just to tell you what you did when you went back. We have had a good month!"

"...I seriously suspect that you just found another reason to drink."

Fatalia stared into Marian's eyes for a while, and Marian shrank her head in embarrassment before she smiled and said, "But it's okay, I just want to drink a little too."

"Ugh--?"

But at this moment, Marianne's attention was completely focused on another place, she stared closely at Fatalia's ruddy lips, and said in disbelief: "Fatalia, did you just smile? Are you smiling? I feel like I’ve never seen you laughing before! It’s so strange!”

Fatalia was taken aback by Marian's jumpy topic, then she shook her head helplessly and touched the corner of her mouth and said, "It's not that exaggerated, although I seldom smile, but it's not to the point where I don't laugh at all Bar?"

Marianne opened her mouth, then nodded with a serious face.

Fatalia: ...

"Okay, don't play tricks."

Fatalia raised her brows, then flicked her fingers on Marian's forehead, "Didn't you say you're going to eat? Then hurry up, I'm a little hungry."

"Whoa--! It feels familiar!"

Marian subconsciously let out an exaggerated cry of pain, then touched her forehead which did not show any traces and said: "It really is Fatalia, she has been in a state of hunger all the time, I am afraid that she has transformed all the instinctive desires of the succubus into appetite gone."

"The instinct of a succubus..."

Fatalia subconsciously glanced at Favna, then twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "That kind of thing doesn't matter at all..."

Marianne tilted her head in confusion.

A few minutes later, the three of them, together with Patty, who had just been dragged from the bed, came to Henry's tavern—after all, Patty was a half-blood, and although she was not as affected by the sun as pure-blooded blood, she was still there during the day. It is inevitable that she will be a little sleepy, so when there is nothing important to do, she always likes to sleep in the room, and the sleep time is so long that one wonders whether this is a half-blood or a Sandman.

"Oh, I see, I see, Marianne! This way!"

As soon as he walked into the store, he heard Leo's loud voice from the corner. He sat there and waved his hands vigorously, as if he was afraid that others would not see him. How conspicuous, it is no exaggeration to say that Fatalia is always reluctant to look in Leo's direction when the sun is at its most poisonous.

She didn't yet understand why Leo's blond hair was so magical.

"Long time no see, Leo."

Fatalia nodded at Leo, then walked to the seat and sat down, "Maybe it's not a long time, but it's just a month."

"One month is long enough, Saint Radis College only has three academic years in total."

Leo smiled, and then asked curiously: "Speaking of which, why did you go back so long suddenly? It's just the beginning of school."

"no way."

Fatalia sighed and explained: "Something happened inside the empire. It's not about politics but about scientific research. I couldn't sit still and went back. Now it's over."

Leo frowned subconsciously, and immediately realized that this topic was a bit sensitive to them, so he nodded and changed the subject calmly: "I see, you haven't been able to attend class for a month. Can you keep up with the class?"

"don’t worry."

Fatalia held her chin and said: "To be honest, let me teach most of you more than enough, let alone the courses in the academy. I am more curious about what you have done this month than worrying about my grades." how are you."

Suddenly, the field fell into a strange silence, and no one spoke until Fatalia raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Leo: "Almost got fucked with Professor Adolf."

Elisha: "I almost followed His Highness and Professor Adolf."

Marianne: "I've been misunderstood by others..."
