The Turning Gears Chapter 72: The Knower
"Then here's the question, we made such a fuss yesterday, what is Nilin doing?" Lin Moyang and Liliel were still able to figure out the priorities after the fight, he asked.
Green pondered for a moment, and then he said, "I have a guess, but I don't know if it's accurate. ”
Lin Moyang said: "You say, now we can put forward any possibility first, and then slowly rule it out." ”
Green nodded, this was also his idea, now that Taylor was not there, they could only have three stinkers on top of Zhuge Liang. "I'm thinking that Nireen might have mistaken us for being distorted too. ”
Lin Moyang felt very novel about this statement, looking at the three of them, they didn't look like they were being distorted, right?
"I was in front of Nireen's door, and Miss Nereen had the opportunity to keep me out of her room, which would have been the safest if she really wanted to keep it a secret, but she took the risk of letting me into her room, and quickly ordered me to be evicted. I had a guess that she wasn't sure if I had been twisted into a character in this medieval world when she heard me admit to being a knight. She invited me into the room just to get a closer look at whether I had been distorted. Green recalls that when he was observing Nilin, Nireen was also observing him.
"That's a good dare, fortunately it's you who go, if it were me, you would be able to see the flaws at a glance. Lin Moyang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, this group of people Li Green is the most suitable person for this kind of medieval knight world, he has undergone strict training, and his own etiquette and quality are also very suitable for the identity of knights.
"I think so too, Miss Nereen probably thinks that we are still distorted people, so she thinks last night's dispute is just a plot between the distorted us and the Bloods in this world. Green explained.
"Wait, it's like you're playing a game, is there still a plot?" Lin Moyang complained silently, while Liliel snickered on the side.
Just when the island of Tristan was changing, far away on the other side of the world, deep in the Himalayan mountains. This is the base of pilgrims, and it is also a holy place for pilgrims, only Eight Stars knows where it is, and in order to come here, you must at least have an S rating of abilities among Pilgrims to be eligible to appear here. A piece of the Himalayas has been hollowed out and forced into a huge base, the top of which even sticks out of the mountain, in exchange for a huge floor-to-ceiling window for its owner.
Galahad stood on the top floor of this hidden base, the sun from the roof of the world shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows into his office. Outside the window, the howling cold wind and bitter cold are blowing, and every year, countless climbers die on the trail not far away. Not everyone has the leisure to explore every part of this winding roof, and those who come to conquer the peaks just want to follow the fixed route taken by their predecessors, add to their lives, and of course, it may come to an end.
Galahad was so old, so old that sometimes when he gazed at the ice field, he often asked himself what his original purpose was, and the good thing was that the 91-year-old might be an insurmountable difficulty for others, but for him, he still had a long way to go.
"Master, there's a report coming. A clean voice behind him announced. Each member of the pilgrim would call Galahad "Your Excellency", or "Sage", and little girls like Ifrit would call him Old Man. But there is only one person in this organization who can call him the master, and that is not a person, because no one can maintain the body of an 18-year-old forever, but it is an identity, an honor.
Moon stood behind Galahad, her head bowed deferentially. Galahad is the sun and she is the moon, and the moon in the sky must shine with the help of the sun, and she is the only one who is qualified to stand by Galahad's side in this behemoth organization of glory and personality worship.
Galahad still stared out the window at the white world, not responding. Behind him, the moon stared at the lonely king, who had long been accustomed to Galahad's temper, and she spoke: "Our operatives at an observatory in the Atlantic Ocean have received a request for support, and on your orders, we have uploaded a copy to the pilgrim's backstage before the report is sent. ”
"The requester for the report is Taylor, the American Indian girl on our testing list and one of the candidates for the Metrogenic Star. "The monthly report is not muddy, it is very much in line with Galahad's habits.
"Tristan Island, the farthest British colonial territory. Galahad said,
"Yes, according to the report, there is a peculiar distortion there. Moon replied.
"Yes, in the early stage of the resurrection, the gods will tear open their doors where civilization is weak and descend their will on the earth. Humanity or civilization is the first line of defense, and it will break down this barrier so that it can punish humanity. Galahad's tone was like seeing the snow melt outside the window.
"Fenglong is bound by something more troublesome, but his apprentice can't die. If he's unhappy, things can get unpredictable. Galahad pondered, muttering to himself into the huge floor-to-ceiling window. "Go and wake up the 'True Knower', give him five S-class operators to use the quota this time, and send out the conscription order. ”
"Yes. Yue nodded silently and exited Galahad's office without a hint of hesitation.
Galahad raised his head and looked at the clear sky, a faceless face firmly shrouded in shadow by a mask, this old man was already the most powerful and powerful person in the Council of the Round Table, and the brightest new star of the Round Table bowed his head in awe before him. No one knew why he remained at the Round Table, his pilgrims were almost as large as the Druid Council and the Shamanic Society, and could have been in a class of their own, but the old man remained faithfully at the Round Table, except for Speaker Merlin, who was even more feared by the violence and absolute wisdom of the old man.
A secret message was released, causing quite a ripple in this noisy world.
John is a little irritable, he's in a taxi to the airport right now, he's a successful IT executive who always has to fly between countries. In the same way, he also has a kind of pride peculiar to successful people, not just find anyone who has such a high income for him, if it weren't for the unfamiliarity of life, he really wants to buy a house in the country where he often travels, so that he can ask a driver to drive him to the airport.
The driver in the front seat of the car was a very talkative person, who looked to be in his 40s and had an ordinary appearance. In the front row of the taxi, there is also a photo of the driver and his family, showing the ordinary-looking driver hugging his wife and children, smiling like the first rays of sunshine every morning.
The driver noticed John's gaze, and the rough-skinned, cowering-looking man flicked the photo to a positive angle and smiled, "Well, this is my wife and children, it's beautiful." ”
He seems to be a good man who loves his family very much, but John really can't cater to this driver against his will, to be honest, he has seen a more beautiful and hot beauty than this driver's wife at the company party, and the woman with a bright smile in the photo is even a little fat, in John's eyes, it can be called bloated. The driver's daughter also had acne scars all over her face, and I really don't know if it was a skin allergy or something going on.
John felt some pity for the driver in his heart, and he sighed, secretly lamenting that the world was never fair.
"Hahaha, it's beautiful, right, my wife's cooking is delicious, and every day when she comes home, she cooks me hot meals. The driver did not perceive John's embarrassment, he was a happy husband, and of course he wanted to show the joy of his family as a medal show. Book 6 bar
"Drive your car, I can't delay my flight, this business is very important. John said in confusion, he also glanced at the watch on his wrist, I really don't know why this driver is so proud, why he doesn't want to go to the upper echelons of society when he has this kind of time?
"Ah...... Yes, it's okay, I can't miss you, sir. The driver smiled awkwardly at John's words, and the middle-aged man's face showed an embarrassed expression, and he never said a word again.
John looked at the driver's reaction proudly, you can't be this kind of person, you can't beat a fart with eight poles, and your attitude is a little tougher, so he can only obediently shut his mouth.
At this moment, the driver's mobile phone on the co-pilot suddenly clicked and a certain prompt sounded.
John was still proud when he was suddenly thrown against the front window with a huge force, but fortunately he was wearing his seat belt.
"What's wrong?" John was startled by the sudden turn of events, and when he came back to his senses, he found that there was nothing in front of the front of the taxi, except that the driver had suddenly applied the brakes. "What are you crazy about? What are you doing with your sudden slam on the brakes?"
John's mind is now full of how to complain and report this rough driver, what kind of nerves does he have while driving this car?
But the driver in his forties didn't pay attention to John's words, but immediately picked up the mobile phone he had put aside and pressed it a few times.
"Get out of the car. The driver, who is in his forties, said majestically.
"What?" John suspected that something was wrong with his ears, and the driver, who was honest in his eyes, repeated harshly: "Get out of the car!"
John wanted to argue, but when he saw the driver's eyes, he couldn't help but swallow the words back into his mouth. This honest driver is now full of resolute light in his eyes, and a temperament that stands up to the sky radiates from his body, he is no longer the cowering taxi driver, but in an instant he has become an elite, a battle-hardened warrior. Under such an aura, John didn't even dare to say a word, obediently opened the car door, and stood outside the car.
At this time, the driver opened the front cover of the taxi co-pilot, and in John's surprised eyes, he took out two wads of banknotes and threw them at John's feet, "I'm sorry for delaying your business, please take another taxi." ”
After saying this, the driver didn't care about John's reaction, and stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the taxi engine let out an earth-shattering roar, and this ordinary taxi accelerated instantly and disappeared in John's eyes, leaving only two wads of dollars rolling down the dust on the side of the road under John's feet.
This happens all over the world, and the athlete is about to cross the line at the moment when he hears the ding-dong, stops before the finish line, turns and walks out of the field. The barber put down the half-trimmed hairstyle in front of him, threw the scissors on the table, and ran out of the shop. In the conference room, a drowsy employee, the mobile phone suddenly clanged, and before the company's boss criticized him for muting the mobile phone during the meeting, the employee had already stood up unstoppably, opened the door of the conference room and walked out, leaving only the boss with a confused and angry face.
Summons, the way in which the Pilgrim's orders are issued, each Pilgrim's internal order is posted on the Pilgrim's internal website in the form of a bounty, which is then pushed by the outside management of the Guide Department to those who fit the order.
Just now, including the middle-aged driver who was driving, they all received a message that His Excellency Galahad summoned S rated and above operators and supernumerary personnel, and the number of personnel was limited to five. These hidden wizards or capable people didn't have time to maintain their disguises at this moment, because the five places were fleeting.
And just as the undercurrent was surging inside the Pilgrim, Tsuki had already passed through the three stairs of the base and walked towards the lower level of the base. The Pilgrims' Headquarters is a huge structure hidden deep in the mountains, and it took countless years of sorcerers and construction workers to build this mountain-sized structure on the roof of this uninhabited world. As the moon passed, all the officers who passed by bowed to her slightly, with a respectful look in their eyes. Yue traveled all the way down unhindered and came to the ground floor of this large building.
At the bottom of the floor is a large steel warehouse, with two elite pilgrim operatives standing in the doorway. Yue nodded slightly, and the two operators inserted a mechanical key on both sides of the warehouse door at the same time, and the movements of the two were uniform, and when they twisted the key at the same time, the warehouse door clicked, revealing a platform for reading fingerprints.
Yue stretched out her palm and pressed it on the platform, and after scanning her palm prints, a small steel needle reached out from the front of the platform, pricking her index finger, taking a little blood before retracting into the platform. After completing this series of verifications, the heavy hatch slowly parted to the sides.
Behind the hatch was a simple and tidy bedroom, with nothing but a bed, and the empty white floor of the cabin was filled with countless formulas, scattered with countless Rubik's cubes and fragments of paper, each densely filled with strange symbols, very similar to the kind of self-created text that Galahad used to record information.
Yue walked into the cabin, and the person she was looking for was lying on the bed, looking at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Knower, the master is calling you. Yue threw a white card to the person on the bed, only to see that the person on the bed was chained with both hands and feet, and a collar was shining around his neck.
"Hahahaha, is the old thing dying?" The person on the bed sneered, but before he finished his words, his pupils shrank sharply in the next second, and the chains on his body rattled, and the moon had already stuck him around his neck and lifted him up.
A big man, still with a heavy iron chain on his body, but Yue just pinched his neck with one hand and lifted him up, gravity pressed this man's neck on Yue's palm, and the bloodshot man quickly rolled his eyes in suffocation. Glancing at the man's face, Yue casually threw the man to the ground. "A host is a host. Don't have a next time, your captivity is over, and the glory of your master has come back to you again. You have 10 minutes to untie and get dressed, and the host wants you to go to the top floor to meet him within 15 minutes. ”
The man fell to the ground, struggling to breathe in the fresh air, his eyes were blood-red, he stared at the moon, but there was no anger in his eyes, but with excitement and ecstasy, "So, does the old thing need me again, a clumsy wise man?"
He picked up the magnetic card on the ground and gently brushed it on the collar around his neck, and all the restraints on his body were instantly lifted and he fell to the floor of the cabin.
"It doesn't take 15 minutes, I can see his old face in 10 minutes. The man covered his neck and smiled with blood-red eyes, and he walked to the door, where the two elite operators immediately handed him neat new clothes. He didn't shirk it, put on his clothes, and made his sloppy image a little better.
"Let's go, since the old thing will release me, it means that you can't solve this matter, hmph, I really want to see what kind of face is under your mask, anyway, one day, this pilgrim will fall into my hands, and you accessories are the same!" The man known as the True Knower snorted coldly, although his hair looked messy like a chicken nest now, and his eyes were full of bloodshot and madness, he still followed behind Yue honestly.
Everyone who saw the man along the way saluted him respectfully, as if the man was not inferior among the pilgrims, but the man did not care about the salute of the operators, and his bloodshot eyes were just staring in a certain direction, staring at the special elevator leading to Galahad's office, as if nothing else had intrigued him. Tsuki and the True Knower just walked through the elevator door, and the elevator closed silently.
