In the empty park area, the four of them rushed like rats jumping in the park.

"What's wrong, Ike?" Estelle looked at Ike, who had suddenly stopped, wondering.

"I think again, not only is there a flowing water system and a conduction system, but even the ecosystem is the same as before, and it seems like nothing has happened in this place for 1,200 years.

"How do you know?"

"No matter how developed the guiding force civilization is, it is impossible for it to be so well preserved in a thousand years, not to mention the fiber optic cable we just sat on, even the stone steps have no traces of wear. The most important thing is those plants. Ike pointed to the ornamental trees in the courtyard, "There are no signs of decay at the bottom of the trees, and they are not 1,200 years old, as if they have been in a still time for 1,200 years." ”

"Are you trying to say ... Is the rumored true? Joshua glanced at Ike and answered.

"It seems that no matter what time it is, human beings will always want to pursue the power that humans cannot touch." Ike sneered.

"What do you mean?" Astelle looked puzzled.

"I heard when I was in the association that the rumored floating city seems to have been sealed in the gap of time and space by Liberal's ancestors, because the power of the Ring of Light is too strong, even the people at that time are difficult to destroy, so I have to have a way to seal it." Joshua explained.

"And spells like time and space are not realms that can be easily touched by human bodies." Ike replied, "It's a power that only a goddess can have, and Liberal's ancestors used this spell, which means that they also touched the taboo and reached for the goddess's skirt!" Ike sneered, "In the words of the current church, this is probably an arrogant person who is trying to get into the power of the goddess, and if it is more serious, I am afraid it will be considered a heresy." ”

"Ahh Is that why you didn't let Father Kevin come over? Estelle looked at Joshua in realization.

"That guy is an imposter too." Ike shrugged, "At least to the best of my knowledge, that guy isn't a priest, and he's probably not a priest." ”

"We seem to have arrived." Joshua suddenly reminded him, and before he knew it, several people had come to the opposite direction of the airship, and the crimson body could be seen from a distance in the huge ark.

"Gil, they must be in there!" The fifth person in the crowd, Jost, clenched his fists and said with some joy.

"Hey, I didn't expect to be inside for a long time, and it was a surprise attack as soon as I went." Ike drew his sword and addressed the others, "Joshua is in charge of the surprise attack, I am in charge of the front, the princess is in charge of assisting us, and Estelle you two are in charge of the miscellaneous soldiers and the broken queen." ”

"Understood!"

"I, I know!"

。。。。。。

Inside the ark, three or two hunters were divided into small teams to patrol the ark.

"I didn't expect to be brought to a place like this, what are we going to do next?" The hunter chatted boredly.

"Who knows, it's probably in the patrol of the Ark, the professors and executors are gone, and it seems that there will be no major tasks left." The other hunter replied lightly.

"Speaking of which, Liber's airship has crash-landed. Ready to cope? ”

"The order says leave it alone until they are taught." The Hunter shrugged, "If you want me to say that it would be better to go and kill them directly, or follow Lord Ike, the orders are always confusing." ”

"Then I'm really honored." Ike's voice suddenly came from above.

"What?"

"Who?!"

Before they could react, Ike who fell from the sky kicked a hunter into the air, and pulled out his long sword to cut down another hunter who was about to raise his gun, "It's a pity, it seems that my skills have regressed a lot in the few years since I was away." ”

"Ai, Ike-sama?!" The last hunter said only that, and was thrown to the ground by Joshua, who had circled behind him.

"You're famous." Estelle came over and complained.

"After all, I was the leader in the first place." Ike replied, rushing over as soon as possible, "Hurry up, the arks are equipped with monitors, we are probably exposed now, go this way, save them as fast as possible!" ”

The crowd galloping all the way, and the mechanical puppets of various associations avoided each other after encountering them.

"They seem to be afraid of us?" Jost wondered.

"My power guide is different from yours, I'll install the circuit." Ike took out the power guide hanging from his waist, and it looked different from everyone else, and it was flashing with a faint light. "The principle is probably similar to that of a mine's guiding light."

"How do I feel that this direction is different from where I'm locked up?" Estelle was puzzled as she ran, observing her surroundings.

"Of course, the place where you were locked up was not a prison cell, and now that the electric fence is not open, you can walk a lot less." Joshua explained. "But Ike, in this direction... Do you want to take that elevator? ”

"That's the fastest." Ike nodded.

"Didn't I remember that you needed a voiceprint?" Joshua frowned.

"So I said, my guide is different." Ike rushed to the terminal in front of the elevator, and after clicking, a voice came from the electronic terminal.

"Please verify the voiceprints."

"Ling, I'm sorry for you." Ike pulled out the detractor and spoke into it. "The Professor, that guy shouldn't be changing these systems, and your voice should still be activated now."

"Give it to Ling~" A moment later, Ling's voice came from the guide. Ike brought the force guide in front of the terminal, only to hear Ling take a breath.

"Executor (No.XV), annihilate Angel Ling, order to open the door."

There was a sound of analysis from the terminal, "The voiceprint verification is successful, and it is being opened."

"That's amazing!"

"Why is there Ling's voice?"

"Is it a communication function?" Joshua glanced at a different power guide than his own.

"This is Crossbell's experimental product, and it should be promoted soon." Ike suddenly and violently pushed a few people into the elevator. "Let's go!"

"It hurts! What are you doing? Estelle, who had been pushed against the staircase wall, spoke in annoyance.

"Oh, it's rare to see old friends, isn't it too ruthless to leave so quickly? ~”

A man's voice with a teasing tone came out of thin air, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in front of Ike, and a green-haired young man stood in front of Ike.

“！！！”

"What?!"

"Joker, Kemparella...

"It's been a long time, Joshua-kun, or Estier." The clown greeted a few people, "Since you are here in the ark, why don't you notify me as the host in advance, and I can greet you in advance~"

"Your kindness is not something that anyone can bear." Joshua shook his head and clenched the twin swords in his hands.

"Joshua." Ike suddenly spoke, "You remember what I said to you at the bow of the ship." ”

"Huh?" Joshua was stunned for a moment, and then a card was tossed by Ike.

"This is ... Security card? ”

"With this, you should be able to unlock the prison cell. Go fast. Ike hammered the elevator terminal with the hilt of his sword, and after an electronic sound, the elevator closed the gates.

"Hehe, it seems that you have changed a lot in the time you are not in the association." The Joker didn't stop Joshua from leaving, but looked at Ike with scrutinizing eyes.

"I don't remember knowing you well, you know how I used to be?" Ike rolled his eyes.

"Indeed, I have probably heard most of the names and news of the spear from the mission and rumors." The clown pretended to be distressed: "I'm really incompetent when I think about it this way." ”

"Excuse me, it's not a good thing to be topped by the Taoist Master, if you can, how about you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb? You don't seem to be interested in the professor's plan anyway? ”

"No, no, no, you still don't understand, it's one thing to be interested or not, but it's another thing to work or not."

"You don't look like a hard worker."

"Of course~ It would be better if I could combine my personal interests with my work." The clown suddenly laughed, "Kilbat!" ”
