It was a large, empty room.

There was nothing left to be seen except for the metal walls, and in the middle of the room, a stalactite-like mechanism hung from the ceiling. On the periphery of these machines, several tactical panels flickered, and countless symbols, images, and text appeared on the tactical panels.

The imposter female scholar stood in front of a tactical panel, watching as one prompt data flashed and then pushed to the top by the next one. This is a test of the energy system, which is gradually rising from near zero. Whether it's a rebuilt or a new floating fortress, it goes through a round of tests to prove the energy capacity of each system.

Like many human-built machines, the Floating Fortress has a command center that acts as a brain, but it doesn't have just one "brain". For all sorts of things to be considered, it also has several "sub-brains" that ensure that the command center doesn't immediately lose control in the event that it becomes inoperable (say, next to a main gun, or captured by combat units). And where they are now, there is a "subbrain".

"It's about to start. Red-clad turned and looked at the other men. Everyone already knows about a Ranger infiltrating the interior of the Floating Fortress.

"Are you sure you can find out?" Butterfly asked. This is actually a small corner of the floating fortress, far from the center. Even if the old woman comes, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find her. In particular, she made a relevant request to Hongyi not to reveal her identity. So she didn't go against the old woman's request and came to this floating fortress. On the other hand, she calmly avoided the old woman.

"Changed to a state-of-the-art chip system," Red replied without a positive response. "And because of the test, we can max out its sensitivity. He seemed to be saying it to Diemeng, and it seemed to be saying it to a few subordinates around him. "It's a special state, because it can only be turned on because of testing, and it's an ultra-sensitive mode at the cost of reducing the life of the equipment. He said. "At that time, Your Excellency Lu Wu will definitely be sensed because he has a magic ring. Also, Miss Diemeng around us will definitely be sensed. The third source besides the two of them should be the Ranger. Although the Ranger was very careful to reduce the remnants of her own magic residue, as long as she had even the slightest magic residue...... According to Master Yin, even if she hadn't used a single bit of magic in two years, the remnants would be sensed. ”

"Your Excellency," one of his subordinates said, raising his hand. "Someone may have used a magic ring. ”

"Yes, it's possible. So when the time comes, you have to be discerning...... Are the combat units ready?"

"Ready!Cover the outer layer of exoskeleton armor with demon-resistant armor...... Specially provided and tested by Lord Ivan, in addition, I purchased an inductive stimulation helmet from the rear, which should be able to greatly combat the magic of enemy warlocks. ”

That kind of thing? It's called Fighting Magic. But in essence, it is to stimulate the head with electricity once in a while, which is very uncomfortable, but it does make it difficult for people to fall asleep, which is a stupid way to fight against the magic of the seventh law.

"Once you've found your target, divide into garrison and search units and pull a net to find the ranger. And our guest, Ms. Diemon. The combat method is to draw nets and fish, try to form a blockade line, trap the rangers in a small area, and let Lady Diemon search and solve them. ”

The subordinates did not question it. Although the Rangers are considered enemies, they are only scouts, not warriors. Assassination and ambush may be masters, but in face-to-face combat, their combat power is not very good.

The constantly beating subtitles of the tactics panel finally stopped. The energy test is over, and the data shows that there is no difference as expected.

Redcoat took off a small sub-panel from above, "You," he pointed to one of his subordinates, "stay here, a few of you, each lead the detachment to prepare, and follow my orders." Your Excellency Lu Wu has completely entrusted this matter to me, and everyone must obey my orders. ”

"Yes. Several people left.

"The reverse osmosis detection and defense system is activated in all directions, all sensing methods are turned on, all test modes are selected, and the energy input is adjusted to the limit. ”

Along with this command, someone pressed the switch. A whole bunch of data popped up on the panel.

"Residual Sensing End...... Target 1 was discovered...... Target location: Command center! The sensing effect is: super weak, etc.!"

"This, it should be Lu Wu himself. Butterfly Dream on the side said.

"Target No. 2 has been discovered, target location: command center!

"What's going on? Isn't it supposed to be just Lu Wu?" asked Diemeng, a little confused.

"This ...... Maybe it's because Lu Wu once lent the magic ring to Amber to use. Red-clothed thought for a moment and replied. "It shouldn't be surprising that the two of them did this. ”

"Amber, that ...... Shy girl?" Diemeng recalled, but felt unimpressed. It seems that he has been hiding behind Lu Wu......

"Wait...... And also...... Not only the residue sensing, but also the mass sensing device reacts...... Target Two's mass does not exist?" Observing the panel's subordinates, screamed.

"Cut...... Something is out of order?" said Diemeng disdainfully. It's a second-hand thing, and it's too normal for something to fail.

Before they could react, new information was already coming out.

"Target No. 3 was found, the location was ...... Yes, there is. The sensing effect is: super strong! This should be Ms. Butterfly Dream...... Wait, find target four, the sensing effect is: super strong! The location is ...... In the aisle on the side of the anti-gravity engine. ”

"What?!"

"Target 5 is found, and the sensing effect is: Weak...... The location is...... ...... on the edge of the accomodation"

The two men exchanged glances. To say that the amber around Lu Wu, although it is not in the plan, it is also reasonable, but what is the other two?

"Two Stygian Warlocks?" Butterfly Meng smiled. "Over the engine...... It's supposed to be no man's land, right?"

"Yes, all the maintenance personnel have been evacuated, and it is a no-go area. Except for maintenance personnel, no entry is allowed...... If anyone is there......" A hint of unease flashed in Red's eyes. "Target Four, how's the mass sensing going?" he snapped at the subordinate who was observing the panel.

"The quality is great...... At least three times more than normal humans! ”

"Tsk, it's a lot better than we thought," Diemeng smiled. "Lord Red, it seems that these Rangers' methods are much more direct than we expected. Infiltrate that area...... Is it a bomb?"

She reached out with a hand and threw her shawl to the ground. "Over there, I'll leave it to me. The other one you look at first. "The fur shawl swelled as if inflated, and in a short time it changed from a thin shawl to a black beast with four legs and sharp teeth.

Moreover, it can only be seen now that her shawl is actually multi-layered. What was just thrown out was only the outermost layer. Visually, there should be about four or five floors, maybe a little more. The black beast quickly rushed forward, disappearing into the doorway of the room.

"Ms. Diemon, please. Redcoat said. The Anti-Gravity Engine is a key location for the Floating Fortress...... Although he had previously judged that the Ranger did not have the ability to destroy the engine. But...... If the Ranger was there at this moment, he should have some special equipment or means, so he wouldn't go there and hang out. "Things are already a little out of control, and I must inform Your Excellency Lu Wu. ”

……

The oval aisles made of metal are monotonous and long.

The old woman walked forward step by step, her pace seemed slow, but if you looked closely, she could move forward unexpectedly fast. What's more, although she has been walking for quite a long time, there is no impatience in her steps.

The scenery around you doesn't seem to have changed at all. From the moment she entered, she saw such a layer of metal. Along the way, not to mention seeing the second person, I couldn't even hear the second voice except for the footsteps. This road seems to never come to an end.

The old woman stopped suddenly.

"Interesting...... The vibration of magic ......"

The old woman gently removed her hood with her hand, the flesh-and-blood half of her mouth smiling, but the other half was already fully functioning. She looked up to the side, at the layers of heavy metal that ordinary human targets couldn't penetrate. The mechanical eye flickered with a blood-rich red light.

"Well, it didn't go so well...... Tsk, what is this?

Directly in front of her was a thick metal wall, and it was impossible to hide anything. But the old woman had already made a move. At first glance, you can see that it is a very cautious defensive posture.

"Straight through the metal?" she whispered. "It's not a good choice. Although it has a surprising effect, it will take a lot of magic to force it through. Unless it's a spirit body, more than half of the mana is consumed before the battle starts, and that's not something a smart person would do. Or ......" she turned her head to look at the front of the aisle, "is there any fear?"

The old woman moved slowly, and the restraints slipped off her one by one. Other than that, her cloak lit up with a blue-white glow throughout. Not one or two, but more than ten. More than a dozen rays of light roamed across the surface of the cloak, weaving one intricate pattern after another.

"It doesn't seem as simple as I thought...... My good student didn't come, but came with another host who didn't seem to be welcoming guests. She said. "So let me see, who is coming, a clever trap to find the wrong target, or is it really for me?"

The lights in the aisle flickered suddenly. Then, on the metal wall on the side of the aisle, a figure suddenly appeared.

The figure was vague at first, but quickly stabilized. The old woman immediately recognized who the person in front of her was, someone who could not have been here at all!

"Dean-sama......"

"Amber?!"

Two voices rang out at the same time. The old woman's movements were so fast that she didn't even give the other party time to react, and she had already thrown out the strength she had prepared.

The force of the furious waves swept Amber up, slamming into the metal wall with a thousand strokes, leaving a huge dent even in the impregnable wall. This blow is enough to shatter the bones of any normal creature.
