The old woman stepped forward, and this time, Diemon didn't get in the way, but silently got out of the way and followed behind her.

"Anyway, what's the matter with you?" asked the old woman. "Why are you here alone...... Greet me? Commissioned by Lu Wu? But it's not like it. ”

"Lu Wu? Well, almost. I'm here because they're hunting down the infiltrated Moon Spy. ”

"Moon Spy?" the old woman stopped. "Kecha Koat...... Shouldn't it have failed? It's a ranger?"

"It's the Rangers. Presumably, they must have taken off their equipment and disguised themselves as civilians or soldiers, blending in with the crowd. It was a pure accident that he was discovered...... He probably didn't realize he was exposed. No, it should be said that he would not have been exposed. It is estimated that for a long time, he has reduced the use of magic power as much as he can, so there are almost no magic residues on his body. Until she uses her next magic, his identity as a warlock is hard to debunk. On our side, we also improved the performance of related equipment to the limit to find a little clue. ”

"So Lu Wu asked you to help?" the old woman understood. "But why you?"

"Hah, let's just say you're in a good position, right next to the anti-gravity engine. Diemeng spread her hands. "Isn't it obvious which is more dangerous and more noteworthy on the edge of the settlement?

The First Lawrcher is the spearhead of the exploration of the Aether Sea. It is their presence that reduces the danger of warlocks exploring the other world to an acceptable level. It must be said that this type of warlock is so rare that both factions do their best to protect their First Lawman. Many people felt that killing a First Lawlock was more important than winning a large-scale battle.

She glanced at Amber in the old woman's arms. The body that had been uncertain had completely stabilized, and it didn't look like it was seriously injured.

"I don't know, but I'll know when she wakes up. The old woman replied. "Another goal...... Is that the Stygian Warlock, over there?"

"Well, whatever you want to do, you've got to get that reptile out first. Otherwise, it's adding an element of instability out of thin air, right?"

"Well said. The old woman seemed to agree. "Before the official thing begins, the instability has to be removed. ”

……

She could easily feel the subtle sense of incongruity in the crowd.

As a scout, one of the most basic abilities is observation. People may not be able to see everything, but they must sort out and deduce what they see.

Not sure what happened, but ...... The crowd is slowly dispersing. It is not the kind of natural dissolution that follows the completion ceremony, but another, subtle but clear, little by little.

Completion Ceremony...... It shouldn't be over yet, right?

Being able to mix it up is completely thanks to the blessing of this completion ceremony. That guy named Lu Wu casually spilled hundreds of invitations, which was the kind of real randomness. And she took advantage of this opportunity to get one of them, so she came to a floating fortress of the Huiyue camp in a grand manner.

Speaking of the so-called completion ceremony or something, it is not a common thing, there is no fixed ritual procedure, but more like a whim of the owner of the floating fortress. In any case, given that Lu Wu was only the commander of a mere local army, and the identity of a corps commander could get a floating fortress, this kind of eagerness to show off was completely understandable.

A small number of people left. What's going on? Isn't it possible that something went wrong during the system test and the Floating Fortress didn't work properly?, she thought a little gloatingly. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't care. It's better if the Floating Fortress is completely incapacitated and leaves them at a loss.

Almost...... In any case, at this time, as the owner of the Floating Fortress, the owner of this completion ceremony should come forward to greet the guests. It is conceivable that in this kind of scene, he and several of his cronies and subordinates will definitely be separated from each other, and then, she will have a chance to contact her target.

It's the edge of the Floating Fortress Settlement—a small town by the standards of the ground community. Instead of separating rooms from neat spaces, the houses here are separate buildings built on the ground.

Yes, to the human sense, they seem to be in some large cavern underground. Overhead is the "rock wall" (at the end of the field of view is the massive mechanical structure of the floating fortress, which is quite similar to the feeling of looking up at the top of a stalactite in an underground cave), and the overall environment is a dome-like structure.

In particular, this is not a barracks, the barracks are in another place. Generally speaking, it is mainly the residential area of the relevant management and maintenance personnel and their families. Of course, there are no such personnel in this floating fortress, so the surrounding buildings are almost empty. In fact, this area was heavily damaged in the last fall, and repairs here have not yet been completed. However, the small square on the edge of the town is very well preserved, so it has become a place to entertain guests.

There are fewer people. This time she noticed a few armed soldiers coming and took a few of them away in a polite, but unrefusable manner. There were no conflicts throughout the process, and the communication process was respectful, peaceful and elegant. In addition, the way the soldiers spoke clearly showed that they knew each other. This was normal, she knew that the Sixteenth Legion was recruited from the locals (they were locals, but they were actually tribal refugees who had withdrawn from the border to the city of Gashe), and the soldiers and civilians knew each other well.

It is understandable that there is a technical failure in the maintenance of the floating fortress and the equipment test fails, so it is understandable to ask skilled workers to help. However, these people who were taken away don't look like maintenance workers or something.

So, is it something like a sudden illness, food poisoning, or something like that?

The vigilance in her heart increased more than a notch, but she couldn't understand what was happening for a moment.

As many people know, the most dangerous enemy of a giant war machine like a floating fortress is not an external enemy weapon, but an internal enemy that infiltrates it. It has a full anti-osmosis defense system, of course, with a focus on warlocks, but it is just as effective against uninvited guests who are not warlocks. But this time she didn't sneak in, but actually got the invitation and came in a grand manner. And she had previously restrained herself from using magic for a long enough time to let the magic residue on her body fade to a limit. Now, when she faces those detection machines, she should be no different from ordinary people. At this time, she will not be noticed unless she uses a magic.

So it should be.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who noticed this change. There was a tall middle-aged man not far away, who should be the kind of person who had a wide range of contacts within the tribe and had a large number of contacts and influence. The man also noticed that something was not quite right, so he was asking around about what was going on.

She leaned over with a light and unobtrusive approach.

"Oh, looks like something important has been stolen...... Is it a thief?"

"It seems like that, so they're calling people over there one by one to check it out. ”

"What, how can there be thieves in our tribe?"

"It turned out that there was none, but this time ...... A lot of outsiders have joined in. Of course, most of them are good people, but if you want to say that there is a bad character mixed in it, that's normal. ”

"That's what I said......"

She didn't care about these little things, but whether there was a theft or not, she knew very well that this kind of search was too dangerous. She had the right invitation, but it was something she had obtained using a trick (or more specifically, magic), and it wasn't the kind that stood up to search.

She looked into the distance—the man she was looking for, who would have been there. It's a pity that there is obviously something unexpected now, whether it is the legion commander named Lu Wu or others, they have not appeared for a long time.

It seems that this opportunity today has also been lost, and it must be dodged.

She left the small square lightly and quietly. On the way here, she looked around. There's a small area here that hasn't been cleaned up and repaired, probably a former utility room or something. It's close and secret, and if you hide here, no one should notice. Just wait until the search is over before coming out.

"Target Five left its original position...... Your Excellency Red, Target Five has left its original position and entered the uncleared area on the side!"

"Tell them to stop searching and close the two entrances and exits on the side. In the backup command center in the distance, the relevant news immediately reached the hands of the red clothes on the front line, and the red clothes reacted immediately.

But this is only a small matter, Red's eyes are staring at the movable tactical panel in his hand, which shows a diagram of the internal structure of the floating fortress. And at the edge of the anti-gravity engine, the two red dots have come together and have not moved for a long time. It's unclear whether there was a fight or a standoff. One of the Red Dots is Butterfly Dream, and the other is supposed to be an unknown intruder.

Should...... Did they use magic to fight each other?Although he knew that Butterfly Dream was very powerful, but this time......

His terminal suddenly reacted, was it a message from Butterfly Dream, but she was supposed to be confronting the enemy, or had she already captured the enemy?

Redcoat picked up the terminal. Turn on the switch, and Diemeng's voice immediately sounds.

After a few minutes, he let out a long breath. The person who came was actually an acquaintance of Butterfly Dream...... It is said that I heard that there is a floating fortress here, so I was curious to come and see it.

"This should be the Lord in Red," through the terminal, I could still hear the voice of an old woman. "My name is Gao Xing, I'm really sorry, this time I came uninvited and caused you trouble. However, to show my apologies, please let me help catch that little bug too. ”

"Butterfly Dream's acquaintance...... Probably a powerful warlock, right? Anyway, catch the spy who sneaked in first!"

If there are two powerful warlocks, even the rangers who are known for their treachery can't escape, right?
