Chapter 41: Transplantation?
At the end of the drinking slope is the top of Huoling Mountain, where the main tower of the legion stands.
Unlike the Mage Tower of the Five Captains, this main tower is made of steel and has only nine floors in total, but it is unusually high, faintly comparable to the royal palace in the north.
Fiona carried the wind and landed lightly on a circular terrace on the ninth floor.
By this time she had taken off her top hat and veil, revealing her long, golden hair, which moved with the wind, making her delicate face more and more holy and beautiful.
"Your Majesty. ”
Steellord Ogu had been waiting on the terrace for a long time, and as soon as Fiona landed, he bowed.
Fiona, like a black elf in the wind, hurried over, gently picked up Ogu, and called:
"Teacher~"
"Your Majesty, why are you dressed like this, I remember Carson's... The day is not here yet, is it?" asked Agu as he led Fiona into the tower, looking at her in a black mourning dress, and couldn't help frowning.
"It's nothing, I just missed him suddenly, and I happened to send Freya to the foreign barracks, so I was dressed up in disguise. Fiona's expression darkened, she reached out and stroked her long hair, and expertly walked over to a sideboard and poured herself a glass of water.
"Send the princess to the alien barracks?" said Ogu Ying, frowning slightly, and sat down at his desk.
Fiona took a sip of cold water and feigned anger:
"Teacher, you are too underestimated, the bet between the military, the academy and the mercenary guild, can I not know such a big thing? Although Freya is only sixteen years old this year, she is about to advance to the mage, and she should be able to help. ”
"Your Majesty has bothered, this crystal is of great significance to Arthur, he has a special talent, and there is no way to learn from the cultivation path, and I am also anxious in my heart. ”
Ogu put down the water glass he had just picked up and bowed slightly: "Actually, I wasn't very sure, so it's much safer." It's just..."
Fiona took the water and sat down in a comfortable seat:
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangement, Freya has been arguing for many years, she has admired Carson since she was a child, and she is determined to become the commander of the alien barracks, this time it will be her fulfillment. ”
"It's a pity that you didn't come at the right time, a day or two late, maybe you can meet the new junior brother. ”
"Hmph, I really ran into it, Charles Griffin, very interesting young man. Fiona sank into the soft sofa, gradually losing her seat, like a lazy cat.
"Well, Charles has special qualifications and extraordinary circumstances, if I am not mistaken, his future achievements should not be inferior to your second senior brother. Ogu stroked his snow-white beard and groaned.
"It's impossible, is there another one of Quiris's demons?" Fiona looked at Ogu with a serious face in disbelief, "It's just that he started a little late, Quiris is already at his age..."
"It's up to him..."Ogu shook his head, sighed, and then glanced at Fiona angrily: "Okay, shouldn't you just come to chat with the old man, let's say, what's going on again?"
"As a teacher, I can't hide anything from you..."
Fiona sat up straight and said, "Two days ago, I received the military information of the Third Defense Army of the Empire, and there are law beasts rushing into the city on the southern defense line, this is the fourth time this year, although they are all low-level law beast species, but the losses are still very heavy." ”
"Well, Arthur's Fifth Regiment is around there, and I've already received a report that he's rushing to help, so it should be in time. ”
Ogu got up and took out two oil-paper letters from the large cabinet full of drawers behind him, walked over and handed them to Fiona:
"Lauren has already gone to support once in the previous two months, and after he repelled the beast tide, he also went deep into the occupied area to investigate, and he found nothing for the time being. ”
"I am testing the scale fort developed by Fabio internally, and it is very effective in resisting the impact, Your Majesty might as well think about it and give priority to the southern defense line. ”
Fiona took the document and read it hastily, nodding, apparently the situation was similar to what she knew:
"Well, next month, the military region plans to deploy defenses, and the strength needs to be readjusted, and here for the mercenary guild, I will talk to President Viola again. ”
As soon as Agu heard the question of troops, he became angry, and a pair of eagle eyebrows furrowed and flew away:
"Your Majesty, the old man nags again, over there in the Royal Academy, there are more decent people to send more to the defense area, and the nobles should take care of the family and raise more dogs, otherwise what is the use of the city defense army?"
Fiona couldn't help but look sad when she heard this:
"The forces of the Royal Academy are mixed, especially the three families are the most eroded, I let Elliot come back from the southwest defense line to be the dean this time, the resistance is not small, it depends on whether he can break the situation. ”
Agu looked stunned, but he had to admit that the queen's operation was already a clever move: "I'm afraid that he will be black when he is close to ink... Forget it, let's see how he tosses. ”
"Teacher, didn't you admire him before, don't be angry, he also has difficulties in crystallization..."
Fiona got up and floated over, grabbed Agu's shoulder, and reached out to smooth his back.
"Hmph, he himself is the main force of the southwest defense line, and he didn't forget to take a battalion commander with him before leaving, how can I not be angry?" said Agu angrily, pointing to the map on his desk.
The western highlands are mostly hilly and mountainous, and the beast tide has been moving from west to east for more than ten years, so the pressure on the western front of the empire has always been very great.
"Forman resigned on his own, he has fought on the Western Front for many years, and he should also loosen his strings and take a break. "Fiona doesn't know what is at stake, but she has no reason to oppose the decision made within the Southwest Military Region.
At this moment, Fiona suddenly sensed something, turned her head and smiled at Ogu, and Yingying floated out the window:
"Okay~ That's all for today, your baby apprentice is here, I'll go first~"
As soon as the words fell, Lauren's knock came from outside the door:
"Report to the Legion Commander, Lauren Castro of the Third Regiment asks to see you!"
"Come in. Ogu turned back to his desk and beckoned, and the door creaked open slowly.
Charles followed Lauren into the hall, he had just sensed Fiona's fluctuations again, and couldn't help but look at the large window with floating curtains.
This small gesture fell into Ogu's eyes and once again caught his attention: "Charles, you're here." ”
"Hello teacher, teacher..."Charles hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Well, Lauren, you go back first, come back this time and have a good rest, the strength of the defense line will be adjusted next month, you have to be ready to attack at any time. Ogu motioned for Charles to sit down, and explained to Lauren.
"Yes, Legion Commander. Lauren nodded in a standard military salute and bowed back.
Ogu carefully put the two pieces of military information back into the cabinet, and then turned around and called, "Charles." ”
"Yes, teacher. ”
"How did you get this crystal, can you tell me about it? Ogu's face was calm and unpredictable, and Charles couldn't help but be a little nervous.
"I don't know, last year I fell into a coma, and when I woke up, this crystal grew. ”
Hearing this, Agu frowned and pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Charles: "Come here." ”
Charles honestly stepped forward and asked Ogu to take a closer look at the crystals in the back of his head.
"Well, there are no traces of stitches, not artificially transplanted..."
"Artificial transplantation?" said Charles, shaking for a moment.
A fierce glint flashed in Agu's eyes, and his tone was cold: "There is a technology in this world that can pluck a crystal from the Chosen One and transfer it to ordinary people. ”
"And this kind of thing?!" Charles's jaw dropped.
"This kind of transplantation needs to ensure that the crystals are alive and cannot be transplanted from a dead person, and a living person... Who wants to give up their crystals!"
Charles suddenly realized:
No wonder Mom and Helen looked like that when they saw the crystal, had they ever heard of such a thing...
"Before the siege of the beast tide, even the royal city had a bad incident of crystal seizure, like this crystal hunter..."
Aogu's eyes burned, and he spit out words like knives: "You remember, when you see one, kill one!"
