The original stone castle has been demolished and replaced with light and delicate elven wood, light steel and crystal plate buildings. In the dome-shaped hall, crystal light lamps are laid on the beams for nothing, like stars shining, making the whole space extraordinarily spacious and bright, and three or four hundred people staying in it do not feel crowded.

Men and women, dressed in different colors but all in splendid fashion, whispered in small circles, holding wine glasses, leaning against the crystal wall.

The night is deep, and outside the crystal wall, the figure of the floating ship appears in the night, like a monster in an underwater park, and the occasional patrol flying boat that passes by is like a startling fish, serving as a background and conversation point for these distinguished guests.

Wizards with at least a few workshops, nobles with private warships above the baron, high-ranking officials from the Redstone Governor's Mansion and even the Valentine Empire, and clergy from the high-ranking masters of the Holy See of Order, these hundreds of people in the hall cover all branches of the rulers of the Dawning Empire.

Even the Empire's number one leader of the Wizard Industry Group, the core figure of the Wizard Vision Alliance, the legendary magician Rowanna, was present. She looks more beautiful and younger than she did a few years ago, and is surrounded by several people to congratulate her on her promotion to the eighth level of legend.

The center of attention was not her, and certainly not another legendary female magician, but a fat fellow who didn't look like a magician at all: Falden-Mosmut, the owner of the Flagship Castle and the uncrowned king of Fleet City.

Six or seven years ago, Mosmut was just a fringe figure in the Storm Isles, not so fat, not so young and energetic. You can see from him how wise and wise it is to follow the trend of the times.

Of course, what has changed is only the heart, and the appearance has not changed much, and he is still so handsome and chic, and he is still so handsome and graceful.

Zold-Mildern thought so with his glass in his glass, not frustrated that he had been left out, a true wise man does not need to be welcomed.

Turning his gaze to the corner of the hall, he saw the old man who was taller and thinner than himself, and whose face was almost like a skeleton, and there were only a few people dressed as the Holy See around him, looking isolated and lonely, Zolde shook his head secretly.

Just because that guy isn't popular doesn't mean he's also a wise man.

Erdeshiros is a notorious fellow and the highest-ranking wizard in the Dawning Empire. He has only a first name and no surname, and is called the Wizarding Governor by the ignorant people.

Most people don't know that Erdehiroth has another title in the upper echelons of the empire, called ...... Duke of Soul Refining.

Just as he was about to look away from the person he had been waiting for for a long time, and at the same time thought that he should be the protagonist of today's party, but the wizard stared at him.

As if the eyes of a beating soul fire flashed, the wizard raised his glass to him, turning slightly sideways.

Zelder didn't dare to ignore the other party's invitation, and walked over with a roll in his heart.

After the two clinked glasses and said a few unnutritious clichés, the wizard said in a low voice, "It seems that everyone knows what I am here for." ”

Zelder struggled to hold up a smile: "Isn't it?"

The wizard asked with great interest, "What does Your Excellency the Marquis think......? Controversial things. ”

Zolde said that you have even done such an evil thing, and asked us what do we think?

Naturally, he had another expression on his face, and he sighed faintly: "This is indeed a sad thing, after all, it is our own kind. However, for the sake of Her Majesty's eternal order, and for the sake of the future of this world, these sacrifices must also be made. ”

He put his hand on his chest and said with compassion: "When the world is at peace, we will erect a monument to these venerable victims to commemorate their efforts." ”

The wizard sighed, "So, your Excellency is not ready to sacrifice yourself?"

Zolde was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he said in an incredulous tone: "I—Am I not sacrificing enough? How many workers will I lose? My industry here will come to a complete standstill!"

The wizard squinted, a brighter filament of light spilling out of his eyes, and then pulled an arc from the shriveled skin of his mouth that could see tooth marks, let's count it as a smile.

Sure enough, it's a weird guy, so it's better to deal less with him.

Thinking so, Zolde lost any interest in continuing the conversation, nodded to the wizard and left.

As soon as he turned around and took a few steps, a tall figure dressed in ordinary mage robes appeared at the spiral staircase leading to the bottom, it was none other than Hathaway Ted, whom he had been waiting for for a long time.

Hathaway restrained the fluctuations on her body, wore a hood, and her exposed eyebrows looked unfamiliar, and she couldn't tell that it was the legendary beauty who created the empire with the former empress. But Zelder knew very well that Hathaway had come to Fort Flagship with his attendants. Even if Hathaway reached a cooperation agreement with the Empire, she was reluctant to reveal her whereabouts.

Seeing that Zold was about to greet him, Hathaway waved his hand slightly, said a word, and went directly to the wizard.

Hathaway was saying don't get in the way, she would look for him if she needed to. Zord stepped away stupidly, and just as Mosmut was beckoning him, he leaned over to dip the fellow's light.

Here Hathaway said to the wizard, "I've adjusted, but I don't have enough Tek Nexus, how are you going to solve this problem?"

"I'm not curious, I don't want to hear about technical secrets. This is an agreement made by the three goddesses, and we are just cooperating to carry it out. If something goes wrong, I don't want the Goddess of Order to settle the account on me. ”

The wizard said, "Actually, it's enough, isn't there a Tyke pivot in this floating city?"

Hathaway was stunned, thought again, and nodded abruptly.

The wizard showed that seeping smile again: "That's right, as long as you teleport over, it will be a success, do you still expect this floating city to survive? It is also a consumable in itself." ”

Hathaway pondered slightly, and her expression became more and more serious: "What will the operator do then?"

The high-ranking priest next to him said in a deep voice: "The operators are all people who are willing to sacrifice everything for Her Majesty the Goddess, don't worry about it. ”

Hathaway was still not reassured, and to be honest, there were too many details about this that made her suspicious.

She continued: "Little ...... My lord has roughly calculated, even if everyone in Fleet City is ...... It is also not enough for the hedging system to be effective enough. ”

The wizard laughed even more: "There is a way to solve this problem, so you don't have to bother." ”

Hathaway sighed, stopped talking, and telepathically teleported the wizard, "Eard, are you sure you know what what you are doing?"

The wizard responded, "Of course, it is a great experiment and an important step towards eternal order, and I am immensely proud to be in charge of it." ”

Hathaway asked, "Even if this kind of thing has deviated from the Empress...... I mean the direction that Teresia wanted? Remember when she first came to us and made us a promise?"

The light similar to soul fire in the wizard's eyes twitched, and the intention of the response became more solemn: "Of course I remember, such a promise, Your Majesty repeated it under the broken tower. I am willing to stand up to your majesty's service in the face of the spurning of my fellow kind and the cold eyes of the world, just because of this promise. ”

Hathaway sighed, "What is it that makes you forget that promise?"

The wizard sneered: "I haven't forgotten, and your majesty hasn't forgotten." Even if she was promoted to godhood, she still insisted on creating eternal order. Once the eternal order is realized, won't the promise of returning everyone to peace be fulfilled?"

Hathaway's thoughts became a little sharp: "Whether it's Theresia and the goddess, or the Oath of the Broken Tower and the Eternal Order, there is a huge difference, you should know very well. The status of mages in the Eternal Order was not the same as it is now, let alone wizards. ”

The wizard didn't respond to the question, but asked, "What about you, aren't you also actively involved as a magician?"

Hathaway said proudly: "I am indeed a magician, but not only a magician, and you ......"

The wizard responded very frankly: "When the Heavenly Mountain is repaired, the Red Union is also swept away, and the eternal order comes, but there is still a long way to go before it is finally realized." And I will be the best knife in the hands of Her Majesty the Goddess in this process. ”

Hathaway choked for a while, then changed the subject: "Six years have passed, the north wind is gone, and the world is changing so fast." Back then, the three of us accompanied Theresia into the White Tower and cleaned up that arrogant guy from Gazrien. ”

The sorcerer's almost skeleton-like face also floated in remembrance: "Yes, that guy's soul crystal was given to Richie Prell by His Majesty, and he is probably still working which enchantment of the Red Federation." ”

Time seemed to go back in time, back to the time when Theresia contacted them one by one, inviting, no, strictly begging them to help her.

Originally, there were three Legends of the Outside Forces who came to the aid of Theresia, and they represented the three forces.

A half-elf who is discriminated against and seeks change, a wizard who is classified as a demon and a demon and wants to change, and a magician in the Stormed Islands who wants to break free from the shackles of the Golden Family and return to the world.

Now the three forces are basically integrated into the empire, but the three of them have their own whereabouts.

The legendary ranger North Wind - Chen Ge, that is, the eldest son of the patriarch of the Chen Ge family, he was the first to leave. He couldn't stand the leap in magic technology, and wandered to the outer planes.

The magician Hathaway didn't say anything, and went around and around, still not escaping the poisonous hands of the Night Lady, but also made his own turf.

The wizard Erdehiroth has always held a high position in the empire, whether it is a mortal empress or a god-emperor, and even now in the era of the human emperor, his position is as stable as a mountain.

"Can you satisfy my curiosity, then?"

Hathaway asked: "About the ...... of soul crystals"

The wizard interrupted her telepathy and responded perfunctorily: "Hathaway, the goddess looks forward to the whole empire, for the future of the whole world, everyone is willing and willing to give, and the eternal order is supreme." ”

At the same time, Zelder pulled Mosmut out of the crowd to the corner of the hall, unfurled the silent enchantment and asked, "Do you know what that Soul Refining Duke is going to do with your flagship fort?"

Mosmut's face was full of red light: "Of course I know, how can I not know? This is the price I can pay for the favor of the goddess, I am willing." ”

Zolde gasped: "The whole flagship fort, and the people of the whole city. ”

Mosmut patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "In the words of Chilian Mirage, I can't help the wolf if I can't beat the child, this is my only chance to surpass Simberner." Duke, in addition to titles, there are also large fiefdoms in Berthmund and other places! When I have children, I will also be eligible to marry the emperor. Of course, the most important thing is that I will replace Simberner as the largest private floating ship workshop in the Empire!"

"I know what you're thinking, you're complaining that I didn't take you on board, Fleet City has your property, you have your workers. But your share is too small for me to speak for you in front of the Empire. ”

"But I'll make it up to you, don't worry, what's our relationship?

Zelder stomped his foot angrily: "I didn't mean that, I mean...... Hey!"

At this time, Hathaway sent a summons, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Mosmut, and followed the instructions out of the hall to the flying platform for the flying boat to take off and land.

Hathaway was walking towards her boat, and teleported to him, "I have to get out of here, the breath here is suffocating!

Ignorant in response, Zelder watched her boat lift off and leave. Just as he was about to go back to the hall, suddenly a spirit stirred.

Staying where he was for a long time, he patted his head and walked towards his flying boat, not bothering to greet Mosmut.

A huge structure resembling a floating ship expanded under the flagship fort, and in the deep cabin, gold, blue, and purple lights intertwined, reflecting the faces of the two people in a flickering manner.

One is a pretty girl with gorgeous hair, and the other is a handsome and handsome man who is far superior to Zold.

"Hathaway has really adjusted ......"

Ginny, the Lady of Commerce, is doing her final check: "The ...... Lady Darkmoon's divine thoughts are also connected to the Tek Pivot ......"

She let out a sigh of relief, "Next, just wait for that wizard to get the soul crystal and make the hedging system work properly." ”

The girl's face was filled with excitement, and her beautiful face was distorted by light and shadow, looking quite strange: "I really can't wait to see that scene, more than 100,000 people are collectively refining their souls, it must be spectacular." ”

The man next to him was none other than the leader of the Void Consortium, Ginny's helper Losifus, and he said in a low voice, "We still have to maintain some mercy, after all, the value of those 200,000 souls is not worth mentioning. If it can grow, each soul will be able to promote the circulation of a number of Jinpu ears, which is a huge loss. ”

Ginny shrugged her shoulders indifferently, checked it again, and suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously took Rohyphus's hand: "At the last moment, Your Majesty will take us away, right?"

Rohiphus frowned and said, "Are you still the Holy Maiden of Your Majesty?

Ginny looked up, her eyes fluttering at him, and her cherry mouth pursed.

Lohiphus bowed his head, covering the red, and his hand reached through the neckline.

It wasn't until the girl's body writhed, and the flush on her cheeks couldn't be distorted by any other brilliance, that Loshipus looked up.

His hand didn't stop, making the girl's body climb to a faster trembling rhythm, and said with a smile on his face: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

The girl hugged Lohipus and gasped, "Yes, what am I afraid of with you?"

She lowered her voice, a low, beast-like voice coming out of her throat: "I want ......"
