A rapid and piercing siren sounded, accompanied by bursts of red light, and the dazzling light cast by the searchlight instantly enveloped everyone who had not yet reacted. Immediately, a voice that appeared to be somewhat distorted through the loudspeaker came from above.

"Warning, warning! If an intruder is found to have entered the country illegally, force will be used to intervene immediately. Repeat, the warning ......"

Mencius hesitated, "We...... Run, right? ”

"It's too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of soldiers in heavy isolation suits rushed towards them with weapons and surrounded them in a circle.

"This ......"

"It's fine." Faced with such a scene, Lin Mo looked arrogant and unconcerned, "Just these people, Mr. Qin will definitely solve them easily." ”

Mr. Qin stood there without moving, his stinky face still sulking.

As the soldiers approached closer and closer, Lin Mo panicked. "Mr. Qin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get rid of these people! ”

"Mob!" Mencius pulled her and reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, what are you dragging me to do during the Mencius period, I said, ......"

"We're just travelers passing through here, and we don't have any ill will." At this moment, Shuying suddenly spoke. She raised her hands slightly in front of her chest as if to explain the harmlessness, and Heng Xie behind her also took a step forward. "Yes, we were on our way to Norbaili and we inadvertently broke into this place, and I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

"I don't make drafts when I lie." The soldier who looked like the squad leader at the head sneered, "Nobaili is fighting hot now, it's too late for the affected residents to flee, why do you want to go there?" ”

Is Nobailey at war? Several people looked at each other, even before the enactment of the limit on occupancy, this city in the sky is not a real utopia, but compared to other cities in the age of steam, it is simply a paradise that all people yearn for. The so-called wars and strife would not have occurred here at all, except for ......

"Technological Revolution?!"

Anyone who knows even a modicum of history can quickly relate to the only and tragic war in recent history. Its main battlefield is located in Norbery, and the number of participants in the battle includes almost all humans on the continent. This war laid the main foundation for the future development of the steam age, and also left an indelible shadow of damage on all races except mechanics.

"But, how could it be ......?"

Shuying turned his head to look at Hengxie, and the only two magicians in the team glanced at each other, confirming the conjecture in their hearts in each other's gazes.

"We must have fallen into the circle of some senior magician." Shuying explained to Qiu Xuan in a low voice, "When a magician is unleashing a large magic, the remaining mana elements in the air will disperse and spread everywhere to become a new natural element. However, there is an extremely rare case where the elements do not disperse but regroup to form a small vortex of magic. This is probably the situation we are encountering now, the mana of reunion forms a space-time node, temporarily bringing us back to the past. ”

"In that case, wouldn't we change history if we were not careful?"

"It's not that simple." Shuying shook his head, his expression a little serious, "History will always move forward according to the established trajectory, and it is not something that ordinary 'time travelers' can easily change. It's like pouring a glass of water down and you think you've done enough, but what is that glass of water compared to the sea? ”

One suddenly stiffened and glanced back at them.

“…… What's wrong with you? ”

Qin Jiuyuan: "Heh." ”

Qiu Xuan: ......

Since history cannot be changed through active behavior, the members of the particularly unlucky squad can only be captured obediently one by one. They were dressed in special electronic handcuffs and escorted by soldiers in heavy isolation suits into a huge factory filled with the smell of industrial metal.

"For a long time after the scientific and technological revolution, the pollution index of the Weihe River has reached its peak due to industrial pollution, so all the large and small industries near the Weihe River have been shut down." Shuying mixed in the crowd and whispered to the illiterate Qiu Xuan popular science steam era primary school students must read basic history. "The only thing that remains is the Dark Industries, which were directly funded by the Academy of Sciences and regularly sent mechanics to inspect them, but it was in ruins soon after an unknown substance exploded. There were no survivors of the catastrophe, and the investigators sent by the Academy of Sciences could not find out the cause, and gradually the Dark Descent Industry faded into obscurity. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it again today. ”

"Don't talk!" Behind them, a soldier in charge of escorting them yelled at them.

Shuying could only obediently shut up, and followed the soldiers to the long elevator without saying a word along the way. Qiu Xuan saw a number of scientific researchers in white coats inside the factory, and the white robes on their bodies seemed to be wholesaled from Chuanliu Town, and they all looked exactly like those white coats in Chuanliu.

The elevator rose one floor at a time, and the higher the floor, the roar of the giant steam machinery in the air became lighter and lighter, and when the elevator actually stopped on the 88th floor, there was a dead silence around it, and even the slightest human voice could not be heard.

They were escorted by soldiers on the white ground, and the sound of footsteps was the only source of sound — the slightest noise became terrifying when the ambient decibel was so low that it became terrifying. In such absolute silence, everyone couldn't help but even breathe a little softer.

"Master Fu, all the people have been brought here." As they entered the white gate, the soldier in charge of the escort stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the man who was leaning back in his chair.

The man didn't answer, and waved his hand casually to indicate that he understood. The soldiers retreated, the gate closed again, and silence returned.

"Welcome, welcome." The man sat in his chair with his back to them and raised his wrist in command. "Long-wandering traveler, what made you choose to dock in the harbor of the Darkspawn temporarily?"

Qiu Xuan found that people like them seemed to like this kind of ornate and exaggerated arias and dramatic lines, which was exactly unpleasant in this regard.

"We just didn't intend to break in, and we didn't know this was where your industry was located." Mencius reacted, stepped forward and said sincerely. According to what they said before, it shouldn't be too long for the remnants of the elements to be involved in the magic array. In other words, they just have to deal with this meeting, try not to let the people here find out, and then wait for the elements to run out and send them back.

"—I don't know my Darkspawn, or...... I wonder where you live in the times? ”

The man sat down in his chair and turned around, his red eyes striking in a blank of pure white.
