Chapter 56: Exploring the Western Heavens (Part I)

The next day at noon.

"Arthur?" Bediwell was a little surprised. It is rare for his master to come to the machine warehouse at such a time to look for him, unless there is an emergency.

"I'm sorry, it looks like you don't have time to eat lunch and change out of this dirty overalls, we'll get to that on the road. Arthur jumped on the Iron Rider and motioned for Bedeville to follow.

The door to the warehouse opened, and the Iron Rider roared out.

Arthur said as he rode the galloping iron horse, "Two pieces of bad news. First, Lancelot is gone. Second, the two fools who ran to the library of the headquarters of the Western Heaven Knights yesterday to check the information were detained by the people of the Western Heaven Knights. "Tristan and Kai? Are they okay? What does it mean that Lancelot is missing?" "Ask a whole bunch of questions at once? As for Lancelot's business, you'd better leave it alone. "What's the 'leave it alone'!?isn't Lancelot our friend?" It's not convenient to talk here now, and I'll tell you when I find the time. Arthur gestured to the Iron Knight's dashboard.

(The navigation computer of the Iron Rider is connected to the headquarters of the Northern Sky Knights, and there is a possibility that the conversation may be overheard) Bediwell's mind turned, so he obediently sat Arthur silently.

A few hours later, Arthur and the others arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of the Western Heavens, Aitenburg.

"What a magnificent fortress. The orc boy said.

"Because the Knights of the West and the Knights of the North have different purposes, their opponents are all huge sea monsters that are hundreds of feet long. "The bunkers were designed to defend against the behemoths, their photon shields were the strongest in all of Pantoraken, and they were armed with giant photon spearguns, "dragon guns," with a radius of sixty feet, designed to pierce the sea beast's head. "It's always scary, do they live in a life-and-death struggle with monsters every day? How dangerous should that life be?" "No, the frequency of giant sea beasts is about once in ten years, and the work of the Western Knights is often to repair equipment and defend the city, which is actually quite boring. Arthur parked the Iron Rider in the warehouse, "The last time a sea beast came was four years ago. "That's right, four years without a single battle, it's almost wasted. A young knight approached him, "Hello, Silver Knight Arthur. I'm Oyun Juans of the Knights of Gaia. "Hello, Count Euns. Arthur stepped forward and saluted, "It's a bit abrupt, but I want you to explain, Weishenme wants to detain the Silver Knight Kai Yaktor and Tristan, the ambassador of the Mermaid Kingdom?" "Actually, it's not a detention" Knight Oyun said, "I'm happy to explain to you, but it's not very convenient here, so" "What's inconvenient? As far as I know, the two of them are just here to check the library materials, and Weishenme has become interned?Do you have any ulterior secrets?" "No, it's not like that, but" "That's enough, Oyun. I'll explain it myself. Another middle-aged man walked into the warehouse and said, "Hello, knight of the Northern Heavenly Knights. I am the Heavenly Knight of the Knights of the Western Heavens, Juans. "Oh my God, the Heavenly Knight?!" Bedivel exclaimed.

Arthur saluted again: "I actually bothered the Grand Duke of Euens to come to meet us, really—" "Needless to say, come with me." I'll tell you everything I have to say, but we need to find a place where there are no one else. "Goo-" Bediwell's stomach suddenly bulged.

"Yes, I'm sorry," the orc boy said, clutching his stomach.

"Hahahahahaha!" Daxiao, the head of the Western Heaven Knights, got up, "Rushed all the way, you're already hungry?" Okay, you guys come to my dining room, and we'll talk slowly while eating." Oyun, you stop by and get the bathroom and clean clothes. This kid is so dirty that he doesn't want to come into my dining room without washing it. The Heavenly Knight finished speaking and left.

Bedeville shrugged, "Don't look at me like that, I was dragged out by Arthur in the middle of my midday work." "An hour later.

"It's slow, almost before you can get started. Tristan said as he sat down at the banquet.

"Goo-" After taking a shower, Bediwell only felt hungrier, and he sat limply in his chair, drooling over the food.

"Eat, don't pay attention to etiquette. Here are all rough people stationed at the border, and etiquette and everything are lost in the civilized shijie. The Knight Master said that he had picked up a chicken leg and bit it.

"Great. The werewolf boy grabbed a chicken leg and began to gobble it up.

"So," Arthur asked, as he ate, "what did these two fools do this time?" and "didn't burn the library?" "No," Kai said, biting his ham, "because Weishenme didn't do it! Arthur immediately sensed the strangeness of the matter: "'Missing'? not nothing, is it missing?" "It's not missing, but because access to these materials requires the title of Knight of Gaia or above of the Knights of the Western Heavens." "This is to encrypt the data in this way to avoid unnecessary commotion. Arthur was even more puzzled: "Riots?" "You really want to hunt the trolls of the deep sea, right?" Grand Duke Eunes looked around, once again confirming that no one was eavesdropping, and then said, "No need to look for it, what you are looking for is far away in the sky, close to the soles of your feet." The Trolls of the Deep Sea had been captured by the Knights of the West Twenty years ago and imprisoned in the depths of the Etherenburg. "What, what?!" Kai almost squirted out half of the juice.

"Deep Sea Trolls are monsters with super regenerative powers, and unless they destroy it with a single blow, they will quickly regenerate in a short period of time and come back to life as if nothing happened. The Heavenly Knight took a sip of whiskey, "The problem is that the monster is as tall as a mountain, and there is no such scale of devastating attack that would destroy it in one blow." Therefore, the last Heavenly Knight thought of using the underground cavern of Ethenburg to lure the monster into it and seal it again. "I really didn't know that the Western Knights had a penchant for raising monsters. Arthur said coldly.

"It's the only way. "It's impossible to eradicate a monster that can't be killed, and if it is allowed to land, it will inevitably cause huge casualties." The only way to do that is to seal it up. Seal it away, and shijie will be clean. "So, what about the way to the dungeon where the trolls are located?" Arthur asked directly.

"There is a way, but you can't get in. The dungeon is already filled with the miasma spread by trolls, and if you enter without proper protection, you will have even your bones corroded and melted by the miasma. And if you go in with a heavy protective suit on your back, it will be a dead end if you are attacked by trolls. "It's amazing. You keep such a horrible monster in the dungeon of your castle, and make sure that no one gets in and gets out alive. Tristan grumbled, "What should I do now? Ask the troll to stretch out an octopus leg for me to chop off so I can get its intrinsic photons?" The Heavenly Knight's face turned pale. "This bunker was built 500 years ago, and there are still many parts of the structure that we don't know. At first, it was thought that the entrance to the dungeon had been securely sealed, but it seemed that the trolls always found small secret passages from which they extended their tentacles to attack the patrolling knights. "How many people died?" Arthur asked coldly.

"There are no dead people. "The knights of Gaia, Oyun said, "The knights who were attacked were only injured. The passages seemed too small for humans to pass through, and the trolls tried to pull people through the entrances to the dungeons and eat them, but failed repeatedly. "It's only a matter of time before the trolls find a better way to eat people. Arthur said, "Then there will be the first victims." "I know, that's why we're having a headache. The Heavenly Knight said.

"The only way to be safe is to give up on Ethenburg. Arthur said.

"What?!Do you know what you're talking about?!" Oyun said angrily, "Ethenburg is the headquarters of the Western Knights! The equipment and resources here are not something you say you want to give up!!" "But what else can you do? When someone dies because of this, the matter will be too big and the council will intervene." Arthur said, "I don't want to even have the title of Heavenly Knight of Grand Duke Grace," "What are you talking about!?" Oyun yelled.

"It's really unwilling. The Heavenly Knight waved his hand to suppress the Knight Oyun and said, "It was originally a trouble left over from the previous generation, but it has become my responsibility. But there is no way, such a big decision to transfer the base is not a simple one. Let me think again. "Is it human life or your position, Grand Duke?" said Arthur, standing up, "what else do you think!!! Evacuate the Knights from Ethenburg right away!" The Heavenly Knight's face twitched. But after a while, his face calmed down. "Boy, what's your name?" "Arthur. Arthur Kelton. Said the young knight.

"Few people dare to rebuke me like that in front of me. There has never been such a rebuke that I can't refute. Good boy, I'm starting to understand why that drunkard Leon Dickens thinks so much about you. The head of the Western Heavenly Knights said, "You're right. Nothing is more important than the safety of my men. To hell with the rules and regulations!Oyun-" "Yes, Captain. The Gaia Knight responded.

"Pass the order, and now let the Knights prepare to evacuate Ayten. We're moving our headquarters to Fort Reedford starting tomorrow morning, and that's it. "Yes, Captain. Oyun walked out.

"But your problem is not solved. The Heavenly Knight continued to eat as if it was all right, looked at Arthur and said, "How are you going to deal with the trolls of the deep sea?" "Clear the fortress first, and then we'll be the bait." Arthur said.
