Chapter 21: The Fortress

"Is this—!?" Luo Lan's eyes suddenly froze, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Oran's 'Forward Fortress'!!"

The journal slid from his hand with a 'click' and fell to the ground.

Brunhilde glanced at Luo Lan strangely, at this time, Luo Lan's face suddenly became extremely pale, and even the muscles on her face twitched slightly, and the girl was startled when she saw Luo Lan like this for the first time.

Hurriedly squatted down and picked up the diary, handed it to Luo Lan again, and asked with concern, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

"Ah, I'm fine......"

Luo Lan smiled at the girl reluctantly, took the diary, and turned to the last page,

Staring at the picture on it tightly, Luo Lan's eyes flickered.

It was a black fortress-like complex that resembled a forest of steel, consisting of a dozen spires of various sizes, each with a circular passage connecting them to form a huge snowflake-shaped circular structure.

On the periphery of these towers, a huge pitch-black wall surrounds them, and there are no gates or anything like that on them.

At first glance, the entire castle looks like a demonic castle in a magic movie.

Especially in the middle of those towers, at the top of a tall tower that is far higher than the others, a pure white flag, a blooming black rose is particularly eye-catching!

"Black Rose - Roses!"

Looking at the steel castle in the picture, Luo Lan's steel teeth were clenched, the diary in his hand was clenched tightly, and the flames of hatred spewed out of his eyes could almost condense into substance.

"Do you know the fortress on this painting?"

Brunhilde, who was beside him, saw Luo Lan's state at the moment, and couldn't help asking.

"This is the 'Forward Fortress' used by the Orlan Continent for cross-dimensional expeditions!"

Luo Lan's voice suddenly became a little hoarse,

"Those towers are all mage towers, and the tallest one in the middle should be the main tower of the fortress and the control center where the power source is located."

Saying this, Luo Lan's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the terrifying scene when he saw this thing for the first time.

A huge city like a floating city in myths and legends, like an alien mothership in a science fiction movie, directly tears the sky through huge cracks and passes through.

Suspended in the sky above the bustling city of humanity, a frenzied attack on humanity has unfolded.

And the military power that human beings think is powerful is completely ineffective against this terrifying thing no matter what, even those powerful missiles are easily blocked by a thin film-like energy shield.

In the end, mankind chose to burn jade, and used the ultimate weapon of mankind, 'nuclear weapons' to attack.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that at the moment of the nuclear explosion, a huge black hole suddenly appeared, absorbing all the violent energy, and the final 'sword' of mankind did not pose any threat to this terrifying fortress.

It was the first time that the human world really saw the horrors of the fantasy world, and from that day on, human beings began to truly understand how weak they were!

"Look at the style of that flag, and this structure and style, it should be the 'Black Rose' of 'Oran', the war fortress of 'Roseos' in the Land of the Dead!"

Luo Lan had seen this damn thing more than once in his previous life, and countless powerhouses of the human race had died one after another on the way to this terrifying fortress.

"Still, how did this damn thing get drawn on this diary?" Luo Lan stared at the diary in his hand, a little puzzled.

Could it be that this world has also been invaded by Oran? But, doesn't make sense?

This kind of low-level world cannot support the use of strategic weapons of that level at all;

And not to mention using it, it is estimated that as soon as this thing passed through the space-time rift, the barrier of this world may collapse directly because it can't withstand the impact of this level of energy!

"Huh? Is this-? Luo Lan's fingers inadvertently brushed the bottom of the picture, and there were some extremely inconspicuous bump marks here

"Looks like some handwriting?"

After bringing the diary close to his eyes again and observing it carefully, Luo Lan suddenly found that the picture seemed to have been artificially torn off a page before, leaving some extremely inconspicuous rough edges.

If you don't look very closely, it's almost impossible to spot.

Luo Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her head and glanced around a few times, and then rummaged on the dresser.

"What are you looking for?" The girl next to her asked.

"You can also help look for anything like a pencil in the house." Luo Lan ordered the girl without raising her head.

"I've seen it in the study before, I'll get it for you." The girl answered, and then trotted out.

After a while, the girl returned to the house and handed a pen to Luo Lan.

After taking it, Luo Lan tried it casually, then picked up the pen and scribbled on the blank space below the 'Forward Fortress' drawing.

After a slight rustling sound, a slightly blurred line of handwriting appeared on the paper.

"Looks like a poem?" Brunhilde, who was on the side, leaned his head over and said in surprise.

"The day of the millennium promise, when the end comes,"

"Break the shackles of fate and travel through the torrent of time,"

"Hold high the banner of eternity, play the music of victory,"

"The war of freedom will burn in the heavens and all the worlds"

"Eternal splendor will sprinkle over the temple of the gods......"

The poem is very short, and it seems that it is not the whole story, and there should be a long unfinished paragraph to follow, but only a small paragraph is recorded here.

And in the lower right corner of the poem, a ring with the symbol '∞' looms.

Luo Lan looked at the poem in his hand and the figure of this strange ring, and fell into deep thought for a while,

"Could it be that the owner of the diary wrote it too? But what is going on with this huge sense of disobedience? And what does this ring mean? ”

Luo Lan was sure that he had never seen anything like this in his past and future, and this ring had appeared more than once.

Luo Lan rummaged forward in the diary, and sure enough, the ring with the '∞' symbol appeared more than once in this diary.

Sometimes it appears alone, with only one ring drawn on a single page, and sometimes it appears with some other records.

However, there is no special text in the diary to introduce this ring, and Luo Lan didn't pay much attention to it before, just thinking that it was the coat of arms of a nobleman.

Now it seems that things are not that simple!?

Closing the diary, Luo Lan glanced up at the portrait of the girl on the wall, and the dark pupils still made him feel very uncomfortable.

There must be some secret in this that he has not yet discovered, and his powerful instinct tells him that this secret may be extremely important to him, and even to the entire human race in the real world!

Putting the diary in their hands into the ring's storage space, Luo Lan and Brunhilde carefully searched the entire house again, but unfortunately, they didn't find any other useful clues other than this diary.

The two then left.

At this time, in the already dim sky, the light from nowhere gradually dimmed.

Luo Lan led Brunhilde to a junction out of town.

And when he arrived here, he found that the entire town was shrouded in an extremely thick layer of fog at some point.

After a little experimentation, the fog was exactly the same as what they had encountered before, not only was the visibility extremely low, but it was also enough to isolate perception.

It's definitely not a good idea to rush into it, and the ghost knows if there's a trap or something like that.

This kind of fog should probably be something like a 'mystery lock' formed by some kind of magic array, and in the hand-to-hand combat department like Luo Lan, even if it was at the peak of his previous life, he didn't have the ability to fiddle with these.

After all, people in the real world can't learn magic and other related knowledge from an early age like the natives in the fantasy world, and in the previous life, those magicians in the real human camp were basically just mobile turrets, and only a very few of them had a deep understanding of the other basic disciplines of the so-called branch of magic.

Therefore, when Luo Lan encountered this kind of thing, he was directly brute-forced.

But with his current attack power, he can't even think about it.

Luo Lan also considered whether to simply let Brünnhilde try, but in that case, the magic power he had finally recovered would be exhausted, and if he encountered some unexpected incidents, it would be troublesome.

And Luo Lan also asked her, if she didn't release the treasure, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to dispel these fogs, after all, her rank was not a mage.

But if you want to liberate the treasure, with Luo Lan's current magic value, it is estimated that even if you add all the fantasy crystals in his body now, I don't know if it is enough.

Just when Luo Lan stood in front of the fog and felt a little tricky,

Suddenly!

An extremely strong wave of magic power suddenly came from the dense fog, and even these dense fogs seemed to be affected, and the chaos fluctuated.

"Boom~!"

Then an explosion was heard in the distance.

"Is this-? Someone is fighting!? ”

"My lord?" Brunhilde glanced at Luo Lan, obviously asking him to make up his mind.

"Let's go! Let's go over and take a look," Luo Lan groaned slightly, then took the lead and rushed into the dense fog, running in the direction where the sound came from,

At the same time, without looking back, he said to Brunhilde behind him:

"You just switch to the battle form, my mana value is full, in case you encounter a battle, you can react in time."

"Yes!"

The girl answered, and then after a flash of golden light flashed all over her body as she ran, she transformed into a gorgeous armor and followed Luo Lan towards the place where the explosion came from......
