Act 11.Another Corner of the World
The news that Greenwich was going to host a world fair soon spread across the continent.
According to the promotional documents, this will be the largest in history, so representatives of various countries and forces are invited to participate in the exhibition, and all people with innovative inventions are welcome to apply to participate in the exhibition.
Anyone who knows anything about the past knows what kind of event the Universal Exposition is.
Unlike the shabby fairs, the Universal Exposition is an exhibition that brings together the most advanced technology of all races and powers, and for scholars and craftsmen, it is the greatest carnival.
Of course, for many forces, this expo has more other meanings.
The Tower of Rainbow first issued a statement that it would send a team of mages to participate in the exhibition, led by Tahiria Sphinx high-level mages, which can be described as huge.
Immediately afterwards, the North Olympic Union will also send a caravan, which will be represented by several major countries of the alliance to participate in the exhibition.
Since then, many countries have also responded and sent their own teams.
Greenwich, which was already a bit crowded, seemed to be really filling up with people who came to attend the World Expo, and for a while, Greenwich was overcrowded with hotels, and these innkeepers made a lot of money.
Even on the outskirts of the city, there are several tent areas stationed next to the lake, and the number of people here is growing day by day as the opening day of the show approaches.
Sweeping away the haze caused by the destruction caused by many cultists and chaotic people, the continent suddenly became lively and festive.
Of course, there are some forces that choose to remain silent, such as Arashigaoka Ramirez, the headquarters of the Templar.
Suspended in the corner of the island above the holy lake Libel, an old man was holding the statement that had already spread all over the continent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"World Exposition...... Choosing to hold it at this time, what did those old diehards of the Artisan League discover?"
The old man was dressed in a bright red robe, and on his chest, a gray crystal shone brightly, making him look quite sacred, with a sense of stability and seriousness.
"Or who found them?"
In his other hand, he was playing with a coin, which was unlike any other country on the mainland, and it was printed with a huge eye, which looked extremely terrifying.
"Lord Brian, it has been determined that at least fifteen or more people are on the hunt list and will be on their way to Greenwich during this Universal Fair. ”
Beside the old man, a young blackfriar said, his light purple hair neatly combed, and the whole person looked very energetic, but the young man frowned, as if he was worried about something.
"Lucius, do you think they're really going to Greenwich without any precautions?"
The old man known as Brian smiled, as the supreme head of the Templar Inquisition, he had dealt with the people on the hunt list all his life, and he knew very well that many of them would be difficult to eliminate even if the Templar invested most of its combat power.
"This ......"
Hearing Brian's words, the young man Lucius fell into thought, and then spoke slowly.
"There have been many references to the undead in recent reports, and I think this may have something to do with the series of anomalies that have taken place since last fall. ”
"What do you think, or is there a connection between the two?"
Bryan didn't comment directly, but let Lucius continue.
"This is the one at first. ”
Lucius pulled several pieces of parchment from the folder in his arms and pointed to one.
"Bunagene and Ultramarine Fortress, our focus at the time was almost entirely on Liliana Christopher, but we ignored the existence of a suspected undead creature among them. ”
It was Rosen's sighting report, which clearly recorded that a skeleton skilled in swordsmanship had appeared in Ultramarine Fortress and fought the Winter Wolves.
Then, in Byron Weis, near Bunajien, there was also the figure of this undead in that terrible incident. ”
The second one Lucius took out was a report on the events of Byron Weis's Chaos People Advent Ceremony, and although there were many details in it, it was at least certain that the undead named Rosen did appear there and had some connection to Liliana.
After that, the whereabouts of the undead became a mystery. ”
Listing several reports of events, Lucius continued.
"Until that incident in the kingdom of Aster. ”
Brian glanced at the papers, frowning slightly.
"The people of chaos have almost come in person, causing immeasurable damage, and these mages are really looking for trouble...... But that's not the point, but based on our intelligence, the undead has reappeared. ”
Lucius said this, seemingly hesitant, but finally continued to speak.
"Later, Bishop Ian Grey of the Diocese of Astor sent a nun to Atlantia in the North Olympic League, and then there was an unprecedented tide there, and in the midst of the tide was Liliana Christopher, and I have reason to believe that the undead was also present there. ”
After saying this, Lucius breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed his judgment.
"I think this undead may be a temptation from Islam, who is constantly in contact with various forces and interspersed with various events, in order to make the undead appear on the stage of this world again, and this Universal Exposition, presumably Islam is planning behind it. ”
After listening to Lucius's words, Brian thought for a long time before putting down the report and speaking.
"Lucius, you lead an elite team of Night's Watch to Greenwich, hide yourself, observe the situation, and report anything unusual to me first. ”
"Yes. ”
Lucius nodded slightly, and then exited the room.
He closed the door, then clenched his fist slightly, turned around, and was about to go back to his room to clean up, when he saw an unexpected person.
"Sister Scarlett?"
Lucius looked at Randall, who had a flat expression, and was a little inexplicably overwhelmed.
"Hello, Father Lucius. ”
Irandall was still as cold as ever, and seemed to have a lot on his mind.
However, Lucius noticed that this usually simple nun lady actually wore a pair of silver earrings today, which loomed between her long silver hair, adding a bit of unique charm to this serious nun.
Before he could say something, Lucius was thinking about how to speak, when he saw Elandall pass by directly, and after saying hello, he didn't stop to chat in the slightest.
Stunned as he watched Randall's back disappear around the corner, Lucius suddenly felt a sense of loss.
He had known Elandall for only a few months, first by investigating the Night's Watch at the center of the Byron Weiss affair, and then learning about her tragic life and the oracle's plan, and marveling at the girl's extraordinary perseverance, Lucius became interested in others for the first time in his life.
It's just that Elandall is cold on weekdays, and after receiving the transformation of the holy relic, it is even more rare to say a word, and then she will enter that organization and become a real core member of the Templar, and at that time, the intersection between Lucius and Arandall will probably become less and less.
"When this mission is over, we will ......"
Lucius muttered under his breath, as if silently making up his mind.
