Chapter 248: Fully confirmed
Lloyd felt that there had not been a day since he was born so bad. Whether it was the death of a revered elder in the Republic or the most difficult period during his time at the Police Academy, there was no comparison to how bad it is today.
As soon as he woke up, he was keenly aware that something was wrong - sure enough, Zeit and Kia were both gone, and even Ellie was hindered when she tried to contact her grandfather.
Theo was keenly aware that something was wrong. The two of them searched the area around the Support Section headquarters for an entire morning, but found nothing.
At the same time, Dita Cullois also began his final action. At the bottom of the "Orchid Tower", looking at the girl with a holy posture in front of him, the fanaticism in his eyes became extremely aggressive and infectious.
Several elite members of the "Society", plus the leader of the "Red Constellation" who attacked Crossbell before, "War Ghost" Sigmund Orlando also stood beside him. Several powerful people from different organizations listened to Ditan's incendiary speech, but in fact they had their own thoughts. The "association" only cares about the purpose of the Phantom Flame Project, and everything else can be abandoned at any time; The Sigmund women, along with their group of hunters, were only for two things: money and fighting. Kia's disappearance caused Lloyd to begin to see the truth behind the land, and his astonishing instincts as a searcher were at work - in a word, he was very close to the truth that Heliga had hinted at earlier.
However, the anxiety of Lloyd and others has nothing to do with Heiliga at this moment. After leaving the hotel early, Helliga first went to the back street, to the eccentric old woman Imelda, first thanked him for lending the mask to him and Levi during the previous "black auction" incident, and then engaged in some exchange of information - yes, but in fact Helliga was given information unilaterally. Finally, before leaving, Heliga asked her if she needed asylum, as it seemed that she, like Heliga herself, knew everything about what was going to happen to Crossbell next. However, to Heliga's surprise, she rejected Heliga's offer on the grounds that "Yoguru's idiot is not gone".
When Helliga then rushed to Master Yogoru's Rozanbaker puppet workshop and told him about this to the frowning Master Yogoru, the latter smiled uncontrollably. He then took Helliga to the back storeroom, where he showed off some of the finished dolls that he hadn't had time to finish.
"Speaking of which, isn't the operation program of this self-discipline puppet a bit similar to the self-discipline weapon that the "association" usually uses?" Hyliga asked curiously as he watched as Master Yoguru's self-disciplined doll that doubled as a maid and housekeeper was holding a small rag and trying to wipe the dust off the ground.
"Hmph...... I did write the program, but I didn't have any special combat features attached to it at first...... Most of the ones you usually encounter are the works of the Nottiworth kid himself. ”
"In this case, Patil Martil was copied by him, the kind of puppet we have encountered is the technology of the Black Workshop, and the giant battleship and autonomic weapon are also adapted from your design...... Doesn't this guy have something completely original of his own? ”
"Going from zero to one is the most critical step, and it is also the one that causes essential change. Both in terms of difficulty and the expectation of rewards...... This is also one of the biggest differences between me and him. Master Yoguru sighed, he would never deny the talent of this nominal disciple, but on the one hand, this man's inhumanity and disregard for ethics in order to carry out his experiments made Master Yoguru very unacceptable, and secondly, his attitude towards the results of others.
"He's already in Crossbell." Heliga thought about what Silver had said that day, "But Patil Matil isn't here, so he seems ......?" ”
"Ling's kid left me with a very strong firewall before he left...... The firewall had reported several attacks on the "Star Code" a few months ago. It's impossible to stop the little actions of the kid Notiworth...... Also, I think I should know a little bit about why he's here. ”
"What is the reason?" Heliga was curious, he could guess the general purpose, his appearance must be related to the association's experimental plan, but what exactly was involved was not known to him.
"Although I have left the core of the Society's higher-ups, I still know some details about their plans." Master Yoguru's expression became solemn, "I think you've probably heard about the Illusory Treasure at Crossbell. ”
"Hmm. The "Illusory Treasure" is also a treasure with infinite energy given to humans by the goddess like the Ring of Radiance, but the Illusory Treasure itself has something similar to a human personality, and in the end, it can't bear the negative emotional torture from humans, and dissolves its own causal relationship. ”
"That's right...... the Illusory Treasure disappeared after that. But it was only the vessel that was the carrier of the Arcana that was gone, and the power of the Arcana itself was not completely annihilated, but lurked somewhere—somewhere no one could find it. ”
"Do you mean to say ......" At this point, of course Heliga can understand, "The purpose of the 'association' is to channel the power of the 'Illusory Treasure' so that it can reappear in the human world?" ”
"Yes, not entirely." Master Yoguru said, "First of all, though I'm not sure if the original Illusory Treasure will be restored...... But with what I know about the association, I'm afraid they can't do it at the moment, at least with the current few people. However, that little girl named Kia is indeed the key to all this, and she is indeed inextricably linked to the "Illusory Treasure...... The specifics are complicated, and I'm afraid only the people of the Cullois family know, but what is certain is that it is by no means a simple replica of the existence of the Illusory Arcana. ”
"So...... Rather than making improvements on the basis of the original Arcana? Heliga thought to herself, "Do you have any clue?" Can this kind of thing be done? ”
"I don't know. The Cullois family is a family of alchemists that has been passed down for thousands of years, and what they have in their hands is probably something that some associations cannot fully understand...... Maria Belna, I didn't expect her to ......."
"Mariabell?" Hearing this name come out of Master Yogguru's mouth, the previous guess in his heart could be completely confirmed.
