The light on the terminal dimmed.

The old woman pretended to be forced and ran away, anyway, she was a high-authority. So no matter whether the fake female scholar wants to or not, she can directly invade other people's terminals through permissions and activate any function. When you are a high-privileged person who can hack into other people's terminals and steal other people's information and data, this is a very cool and convenient feature. But when the other party is highly privileged, your data and information (and even the functions of the terminal itself) are completely exposed to the other party, so that the other party can do whatever they want, which is very unpleasant.

"Damn!" the fake female scholar turned off the terminal for the first time. It's not an ordinary switch, but a complete shutdown that cuts off the energy system. Without energy, all electronic devices become waste, and even if the old woman's authority is all over the sky, it is impossible for her to suddenly emerge from the terminal again.

She was now completely sure that she had been caught up in trouble. She had come here to conduct a private and covert investigation, trying to find out who had killed someone and framed herself. At that time, she was cautious, for fear that this was some kind of trap, so she was ready to leave at any time. Even if the investigation doesn't produce any results, it will only be a slight delay at most. Even if he met Lu Wu, an abnormal guy halfway, and was invited by him to be involved in the conflict with the Bright Sun family...... At the end of the day, it's not a big deal. At most, it can only be regarded as trouble, she still has the initiative, and she can come and go as she wants.

But when the old woman came here, the situation was completely different.

She regretted why she had asked the old woman to help. At that time, she thought it was just the old woman passing by by by chance (in the previous conflict with the Bright Sun family, she also sent a message to ask the old woman to help deal with it behind the scenes.) After all, if a high-level warlock hangs up and doesn't give a reasonable and legal explanation, let alone the Radiant Sun family, even the high-level of Huiyue can't say it. If the old woman comes forward as a witness and backer on her side, it can make the whole thing less troublesome - of course, this is a trivial matter for the old woman, no more troublesome than writing a few words. But now she understood perfectly well that the old woman was not passing by, much less being intrigued by her information. How to say it, this place was originally her destination.

The old woman certainly didn't come for her, but now that the old woman had discovered her, she had made it clear that she was going to get involved. From another point of view, it was easy for her to understand the old woman's approach: the two men were obviously secretly operating, but they met here by chance. In this case, pulling her on, on the one hand, can ensure that the old woman's secret operations are not leaked, and on the other hand, there is a free cannon fodder thug. Of course, as for whether this thug will encounter danger, that is certainly not in the old woman's consideration.

Pity her at the beginning, she was still lucky, thinking that the old woman was just passing by by accident. And she also handed over the information she got at all. I thought that on the one hand, I could do my duty, and on the other hand, I could satisfy the old woman and keep myself out of the matter. It seems that this is simply looking for your own death.

Meet at the Floating Fortress?

The old woman didn't say anything other than that. But there are enough hints in it. The old woman is stronger than her in terms of magic, in fact, in this aspect, the entire camp may not surpass the old woman, and more importantly, she can use her special body to cheat. Anyway, the old woman is not for her, nor for Lu Wu (if Lu Wu has any special value, then obviously it is impossible for the old woman to let him come back from the base camp. It doesn't even take a few possibilities to come back). So for what?

Here at the Banshee Gate, are there any real treasures that deserve the attention of the higher-ups?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should curse a few words, and the old woman was mysterious and silent. What the hell are you doing here? Could it be that she is too old to see that she will not live long, and plans to die in a glorious battle and become a legend on the front line? It can be logically speculated that even if the old woman wants to die, she should find a chance to single-handedly take on a large number of Styranian Warlocks to fulfill her dream, instead of having trouble with Kechagoat here.

Anyway, the old woman is such a person. Although he was in charge of the position of director of the Warlock Academy, he sometimes pretended to be human, and he seemed to be innocent in the guise of an elder's kindness. But in fact, anyone with brains knows that she is the most feared warlock, the most ruthless killer, and the most ruthless and bloody conspirator in the entire Huiyue camp. As some people know, if there is any change in the high-level warlocks, especially those who are sitting on the side, they often disappear suddenly. And those who care can always see that the law of the disappearance of these anti-bone boys is inextricably linked with the seemingly chaotic actions of the old woman. More than one person has speculated that the old woman is ostensibly the seventh consul, the dean of the academy, but in fact has some powers that have nothing to do with the seventh consul - the kind of purge of spies and traitors from within. Considering that she was once the chief, she stepped down simply because of old age (not incompetence or failure), which also doesn't seem incomprehensible.

Although the terminal has been turned off, it is no longer possible for the old woman to grasp her movements...... But the old woman should have said it explicitly. Even she didn't dare to refuse the old woman's request. At least not blatantly refused. It's not a good thing to offend the old woman.

"Let's go!" After thinking about it, the fake female scholar still made a decision. She regretted it a little, wouldn't it have been okay to turn off the terminal earlier? But now that the old woman's words have been released, if she doesn't go, she will question the old woman's authority.

"Where are you going?" the attendant, of course, did not understand the ideological struggle that the hostess had experienced in this short period of time.

"Didn't you just say it, over there at the Floating Fortress!"

She pondered in her heart. The old woman came for Lu Wu? impossible. If Lu Wu was really Huiyue's favorite, let alone whether it was true or not, even if there was only a few possibilities, it would be impossible for the old woman to let him come back from the base camp. This strategically valuable resource must be grabbed and placed in the safest place possible—just like a rare animal or a rare antique. As for whether to use it as a stallion or as a guinea pig after getting it, then the specific problem is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

But if not, why did she come here? What attracted her to this? Or maybe it wasn't people, but the floating fortress?

I'm too lax.

She blamed herself in her heart. Although she really wanted to investigate Lu Wu's matter further, she had to say that after telling the old woman about it, she really relaxed in her investigation. In fact, she did nothing and was recuperating in the city of Gashe.

The city of Gasha is quiet now. Due to Lu Wu's acquisition of the Floating Fortress, Gasha City, which was originally a land fortress, became less important. In fact, because the mine is back under Huiyue's control, it can no longer be counted as a "front line". For if Kecha Goyat were to attack this side, its army would first have to occupy the mines. As a result, there were only a small number of troops, and it was used as a material communication center in the rear, rather than a front-line defensive fortress.

It is not very far from the city of Gasher, to the mines, or to the location of the floating fortress. Moreover, because of her special status (maybe others don't know, but Lu Wu and several of his subordinates already know that she is a powerful warlock), they also arranged a special car for her. There is no driver, but the female attendant will drive.

At dusk, Butterfly Dream saw a floating fortress in mid-air.

The car was parked outside a mining town (which, as mentioned earlier, is now populated again). The Floating Fortress flew slowly from afar, and finally came to a halt in the air a short distance from the edge of the town.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she had seen Lu Wu's floating fortress. Of course, by Butterfly Dream's standards, the Floating Fortress is still in tatters, with too many mutilations to be filled. It has undergone preliminary repairs, but only preliminary repairs. Although the large, important gaps had been filled, the signs of damage remained, and from the bottom it looked like a dehydrated leaf that had been bitten by bugs—there were tiny notches and too much variegation at the edges.

She'd seen a lot of floating fortresses, and this one was clearly just one of the mass-produced ones. Obviously, this kind of floating fortress can't be said to add special technology or anything. More than once, the principle of this maintenance is not to talk about beauty, only to talk about practicality, saving time and money. Take the smallest gap in her vision. This gap (apparently caused by the fall) was caused by the armor being lifted by the impact of the air wave, because it was too small to affect the operation and defense of the floating fortress, but the normal maintenance method should still be to remove the entire side ring and replace it with a new one. But this time, they simply re-welded the lifted armor plates back on, leaving a conspicuous mark, as if someone had drawn a symbol on the shell of the floating fortress with a pen.

She withdrew her gaze. The war beast suspended in the air revealed a clear exhaustion, and there was nothing to pay attention to. Although the Floating Fortress itself is quite new, it looks like it has only been a few years since it flew out of the foundry. But after such a big loss, after falling from the air once, even the new system has to be discounted more than a little. Now it's good to be able to fly again, and the internal systems are still functioning normally, and they can be used improvised. The only thing we don't know is how broken the internal systems are......

It is impossible for such a floating fortress to arouse the interest of the old woman, is it? Could it be that there is something special about it? Is it some other person on the floating fortress that attracts the old woman's attention? Is it some...... Someone I don't know? Is Lu Wu's subordinates pieced together, someone who holds a great secret, hiding in his legion, acting as an inconspicuous creep?

"Ma'am, Your Excellency in Red should be waiting for us in front, shall we go over?" the attendant reminded. The car had stopped not to reach its destination, but to have a good vantage point for her to observe the floating fortress suspended in mid-air.

"Let's go over. Butterfly replied.

They were now on one side of the town, and the place where they agreed to meet with the Red Coat was on the other side of the town. That meant they had to walk through the town.

"What I said earlier about the situation of this floating fortress......"

"Ma'am, I've got you in touch. I am sure that the relevant information will be received soon. I think if we open the terminal now, we'll pretty much get it. ”

Damn permission!Butterfly cursed softly. Damn old woman. She only carries a terminal, and she can't do a lot of things without it. Words to use...... The old woman may pop up again without permission.

She could clearly feel that she was afraid. Yes, she really was just here to conduct a covert investigation in private. But in the end, fate led her into a wave that could swallow her up. Throughout the world, and throughout the Aether Sea, Warlocks are feared for their power to control their fate. However, the collective power is left aside for the time being, if in terms of individual strength, the warlock is just playing on the edge of the ocean of fate, and if he is not careful, he will be swept into the endless abyss by the waves. This is true no matter how powerful a warlock is.

Only those who have strength can understand what humility is.
