sarin, somewhere underground.

The ninth.

In the long all-metal corridor, a male wizard in a dark black robe is patrolling.

It can be seen that every few tens of meters in the corridor, there is a heavy gray metal door, and the gate is more than one meter high from the ground, inlaid with a palm-sized piece of high-strength transparent glass.

Through the glass, you can see that inside the door are thick steel shelves, on which are lined with many artifacts that resemble the shape of cannonballs. The creature was nearly a man tall, and its cool-colored shell was painted with a yellow and black pattern that looked like a gear, but the number of teeth of the gear was only three.

Underneath the pattern, there is a line of small letters engraved - Blanco Lecere.

It's not anyone's name, but an ancient language, translated into the continental lingua franca, is...... Black Sun, to put it simply, is "Black Sun".

Black Sun weapons are the collective name of creation, the place where these Black Sun weapons are stored is the Black Sun Arsenal, and the people who manufacture, maintain, improve, test, and manage are called Black Sun members, and all of these are subordinate to the Ninth Institute.

The ninth is also called the Black Sun Castle, and of course only a very few people in Shalin know about it.

Black Sun member John Fermi walked through the metal doors with a steady step, occasionally pausing to take a hard look at the shelves inside.

Inside the door, there are not only "gadgets" that are nearly one person tall and shaped like cannonballs, but also "big guys" with a diameter of one meter and a length of three or four meters, and even giant creations with a diameter of two meters and a length of nearly ten meters.

These are small black sun weapons, large black sun weapons and super large black sun weapons, in the official archives, they are called tactical, strategic and destructive respectively, and if you subdivide them, there are also tactical first, second, third, and fourth generation black sun weapons.

Fermi squinted at the cold and dangerous creatures inside the door, and knew very well how terrifying the power of these things would be once activated and detonated, even if it was only a tiny part, it would be enough to take the entire Ninth ...... No, it's the whole sarin that has blown up to the sky.

Regular inspections and regular maintenance of these creations are really a big test of his mental strength, but fortunately, he doesn't have to come into close contact when he makes rounds.

In fact, if you want to touch him, you can't touch him, the doors of the arsenal are all specially made, with multiple protections, even a fourth-level wizard can't force it open in a short time. In order to follow the process, at least three high-level Black Sun members need to hold a special key and pass two password verifications.

There's no need to worry about a spy sneaking in.

Fermi couldn't help but think, suddenly sensed something, stopped his patrol, reached out and took out a communication crystal ball from his arms, and saw three purple lights flashing on it in a row.

Seeing this message, Fermi was stunned for a moment, then his expression froze, and he quickly turned around and hurried towards the end of the corridor.

......

A few minutes later.

Fermi appeared in a conference room in the Ninth Institute.

In the conference room, there was a conference table more than ten meters long, and dozens of middle-level and above Black Sun members were sitting around, almost all of them gathered.

Sitting at one end of the conference table, Arthur Ossheimer, a senior member of the Black Sun, was wearing the same black robe, his sky-blue eyes glanced at the audience, and let out a cold voice: "Everyone can come so quickly, you must have received the information, yes, after waiting for so long, the 'Star Spirit Mirror' on the side of 361 is finally almost complete, and then we can successfully carry out the corresponding task assigned to us by Lord Richard." So, please prepare. ”

The Black Sun members nodded.

Osheimer turned and looked into a corner of the conference room.

There was a barstool, and sat a young girl with white cheeks but a boredom, two slender legs dangling in mid-air.

As if sensing Ossheimer's gaze, the girl stopped shaking her legs, glanced at her yawn and asked, "Well, something?"

"Miss Bibi, you need to open the arsenal next. Osheimer said expressionlessly, "I, Mr. Robert Albert, and Mr. Hancock von Neumann, can provide three keys to open the arsenal, and Mr. Rudolf Pohl will provide the first verification code, and as for the second and final verification code, you need to provide it." In addition, according to the regulations, the process of opening the arsenal also needs to be supervised by you, after all, this is your position. ”

"That's it. Bibi frowned, "Do you still need me to provide the final verification password?" but...... I forgot, what should I do?"

Osheimer's eyes flashed: "Miss Bibi, are you kidding?"

"No, no, I really forgot. "Two days ago, I instilled a little new knowledge, and it seems that it was affected, and the password I remembered was lost. ”

Ossheimer's expression suddenly became serious: "If this is the case, then the matter is very serious, and we need to consult Miss Pandora immediately." ”

As he spoke, Osheimer walked out without any delay.

Bibi hurriedly stopped: "Hey, don't, wait a minute!"

"Huh?"

"Kidding you. Bibi shook her head and sighed, "Why can't you cooperate?"

"I'm sorry, but that's not my job. Osheimer said coldly, "But since Miss Bibi is joking, it means that you can give the final verification password, right, please follow me to open the arsenal." ”

"Okay. Bibi exhaled.

Osheimer walked outside again, taking Bibi and the men he had named earlier.

After walking to the door and glancing at the people left in the chamber, Osheimer said, "The rest of you, prepare to start the first test in two hours." ”

"Yes. The crowd answered.

......

More than five hours later, the darkest hour before dawn.

Somewhere in the sarin, in the deserted field, suddenly a roar came from the depths of the earth.

"Boom ......"

The sound became louder and louder, and with a "click", the ground within a radius of more than ten meters bulged and cracked.

Followed by a "pop", the firelight flashed in the dark night, and a heavy metal cover with a diameter of more than two meters in the soil was violently blown away under the action of the preset high explosives, revealing a round well with a black hole below.

An even louder roar came from the depths of the round well, as if something had risen up, and the air was squeezed out of the well, kicking up a cloud of dust around it.

The metal cover that had been blown up before spun and flew to a hundred meters away, making a dull sound, and almost at the same moment, a dazzling light rushed out of the round well, pierced the sky, and quickly disappeared.

"Boom!"

After a short time of the light disappearing, a black-robed man appeared around the round well, recovered the blown metal cover with great efficiency, repaired the bulging ground, and restored everything to its previous state in a few minutes, and then quietly left, as if nothing had happened.

After that, another ten minutes passed.

A small island in the center of a saltwater lake quite far away from the sandy forest, deep in the northern wilderness, has a whole dense area of buildings built on it, including thatched houses, wooden buildings, stone buildings, and pillboxes.

In addition to the fact that there are no people or any lives living in this building, it is somewhat peaceful under the cover of night.

But a second later, an abrupt light descended from the sky and exploded, accompanied by a mushroom cloud, unleashing terrifying power.

"Boom!"

Everything on the entire island was leveled in an instant, and even the entire island was blown to pieces, and a large amount of water in the saltwater lake was lifted and evaporated, giving birth to large puffs of white vapor, and large areas of salt appeared on the shore.

"It seems that the first test was successful...... "Almost at the same time, a cold voice sounded in a room in the ninth room.

......

"It's done...... didn't take long for the same sound to come from a moving carriage.

Richard held a crystal ball, squinted and lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked out, and in the light that gradually appeared in the sky, he could see the outline of a majestic city in front of the road clear—it was Char.

According to the original promise, after taking care of the matter at hand, he came here alone when the one-month deadline was approaching.

If there is no accident, after entering the city to meet the Alliance Emperor, he can give Shalin at least three more years of development time, allowing him to smoothly figure out Gao Ling's secrets, allowing him to really unlock part of the truth of the current world.

And if there is an accident......

Richard shook his head...... There will be no surprises, at most there will be twists and turns, and the bigger the twists and turns, the longer the sarin will win...... Peace forever......

"Rumbling ......"

The hired groom drove the carriage forward quickly, approaching the gate that Char slowly opened in the early morning.
