An impregnable, highly dangerous automated defense mechanism, though ostensibly a metal tower with a spotlight mounted and an automatic 360-degree rotation at the top, which glows in all directions.

In the archipelago empire, watchtowers are generally found in large cities such as Danwall and Karnaca that have largely completed their industry, and are mainly used to thoroughly monitor important areas of the city.

It's just that their initial weapon design only has the option of firing incendiary grenades, which is not suitable for full copying.

But revamping a weapon system is not all smooth sailing, and no matter how simple and crude it is, it is still a technology tree in another world.

So in terms of the docking of the fire system, it is not as smooth as imagined, and there are always some strange problems.

Miss Crawford had heard of this, too, because she had been running around Kitt all this time, contributing to the construction project in full swing.

"It's not a big problem, it's rather simple, I can't believe that such a rudimentary piece of electronic components can be put together to make it an automated and intelligent system......"

Jacob smiled wryly and shook his head, even after living for so long, he still felt that this kind of thing was not common.

"So it's easy to repair, not much more complicated than the bulky guys left over from the Soviets......"

However, the material properties of the core system are from another pure magical worldview, even if it is to use a ball of plasticine to pinch out the shape of a car, and then it can be driven as a matter of course, there is nothing to say about this.

Of course, it's not scientific, but the problem is that it's a strange phenomenon from the wizarding world!

To be able to continue to preserve this phenomenon in the current world is in itself the greatest unscience.

So Jacob didn't dwell too much on this kind of thing, after all, he had already seen more magical things.

This kind of strange and unreasonable "black technology" is at best surprising to him, but it is impossible for him to find it unacceptable.

"Wait, Laura, you don't look right...... Could it be...... Did you quarrel with that one? ”

After a few random topics to talk about, Jacob was keenly aware that Miss Crawford seemed to be a little absent-minded.

But after taking a closer look, he found that the other party was not simply distracted.

How should I say that? Her expression was a little strange, on the surface it seemed normal or thinking about something, but there was a little strange irritation and irritability.

Thinking of the direction she had just come, the Prophet suddenly looked at the huge and magnificent temple standing in the center of the city, and then his expression also became strange...... Is this about to start infighting?

"No, just a little disappointed, I was hoping to convince him, but he was just perfunctory to me...... But there is no quarrel, you don't have to worry. ”

Miss Crawford reacted, and then she sighed and shook her head, her disappointment palpable.

"Oh, is that what happened? …… Actually, it's right to be perfunctory, at least he's willing to be perfunctory on this issue, isn't he? ”

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief when he understood, but then he couldn't help but laugh, as if he didn't think it was a bad thing.

He also knew what Laura was worried about, and during this time she had been struggling with the "truth" of the world and the "fate" of the future, so she was sad and depressed all day long.

The stars return, and the myth descends......

Through ancient poetry and legends, humans capture the brief and vague memories of these beings, calling them gods, monsters, or all sorts of magical creatures......

They are the oldest masters of this world, and the first bad problem is that they are not only real, but they are ready to return.

This is the fundamental direction of the future worldline process, just as no amount of effort can prevent the universe from getting colder.

"Didn't I tell you before? This cannot be changed, we can only accept that it will happen......"

Jacob thought about it carefully, considered it for a moment, and organized the language before continuing to say to Laura—

"Well, on the premise of accepting that it is going to happen...... Try as hard as you can to make it go in a better direction. You think of it as if it were an earthquake that we can't stop, we can only be prepared to deal with it......"

“……”

“……”

"However, you are too negative to say that......

Miss Crawford shook her head noncommittally, she didn't really agree with the other party's statement.

"Wouldn't it be better to stop a disaster before it happens?"

"Heh, what you said seems to make a lot of sense, and it's not negative...... But don't you think it's too idealistic? ”

In response to Miss Crawford's "negative" assessment, Jacob only smiled rather disappreciatively.

"Do you yourself have the power to prevent those ancient beings who were even called "gods" from returning to this world in ancient times?"

"I ...... I, I can't help it, but he doesn't necessarily can't do it, but now he doesn't even want to try, isn't it annoying? ”

Miss Crawford frowned.

"I don't think so, Laura. You see, it's not that the gods are inhumane, it's that human beings try to regulate the gods with so-called humanity...... This starting point is itself wrong. ”

Jacob said lightly, but his eyes were very serious.

"If you have the ability to stop this, of course there is no problem, but you have no reason to ask him to betray his class, you must make a choice from your point of view......"

“……”

“……”

Miss Crawford immediately raised her eyebrows, and then he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he didn't know why, and chose to keep silent.

In fact, she also understands this truth, so she just wants to convince someone in case of any event, so after being rejected in the end, she only feels disappointed, rather than really angry or having an argument or something.

The reason why she hoped for what happened was because she remembered a certain sentence that Jacob had said before, which seemed to roughly mean that the guy was both a god and a god-killer who created the feat......

She doesn't remember what that sentence was, but that's what it means.

It is precisely because of this that Miss Crawford thinks that maybe that guy can actually stand on the side of all mankind...... After all, if one being is a god, but also hunts other gods in turn.

So it's normal to think that the enemy of your enemy is a friend, right?

But now it seems that Miss Crawford herself is thinking too much—

Just as fellow murderers are not necessarily fanatical members of animal rights groups, humans choose to kill their own kind for many reasons, not necessarily to fight for animal rights.

There is no such strange logical relationship in this world.

"Actually, don't think too much about it, that's not something you should worry about in the first place...... No matter how bad the situation is, it can't be worse than in ancient times, right? ”

Jacob sighed, then spoke in a deep voice.

"But most people don't know about it! And those who know...... You don't bother, I don't bother, so who will face this problem? The girl stomped her foot irritably.

"People can't fight against God, so naturally this kind of thing can only be done by the demon king......" Jacob said without paying much attention.

"Although it is said that if you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become an evil dragon yourself, and if you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will also stare back...... The demon king who killed the gods actually became gods himself. ”

"But no matter what their interests are fighting against those ancient gods, as long as the two sides are indeed fighting each other, it is a good thing for humanity."

“……”

“……”

After a long silence, Miss Crawford nodded a little depressedly and said nothing.

However, there was one thing she was very concerned about, and that was the secret contained in the divine source that Jacob had mentioned earlier, which seemed to reveal the secret of the creature's essence and was actually something indescribable......

It's just that she didn't have a chance to verify it for herself, because someone had already awakened before she could find the Soul Chamber and see the Divine Source.

After that, Miss Crawford had no chance of touching the Divine Source, and she didn't even think to ask someone...... It's like James said it once and never mentioned it again, and asked everyone else to keep it a secret.

She felt that this secret was definitely important, and even the person concerned did not know that there must be a reason.

You have to find another opportunity to confirm, not ask the other party directly.

……

……

At the same time, on the other side of the globe, Hakone is located in the southwest of Kanagawa Prefecture.

Looking north of Owakudani, you can see the entire view of Mt. Fuji.

The surrounding sky is as clear as a wash, and the huge cone-shaped mountain rushes out of the suddenly cramped sky, and the details of the mountain are exposed in the light of the setting sun.

Although the mountains on one side are rushing like the sea, they are in awe and distance themselves from Mt. Fuji, and they are prostrate under the blood-red sky that is gradually fading in the west, making Mt. Fuji even more arrogant and majestic.

"During this time, we have inspected the entire mountain, but we have not found any remnants of the aura belonging to divine power...... So this matter, in fact, has nothing to do with the disobedient God? ”

Just listening to the speaker's voice can make people naturally make up the temperament of a noble and elegant lady before they see me.

It's like a beautiful girl as gorgeous as a rose.,It's smiling gracefully.,Deservedly become the killer of the turnaround rate.。

And the man standing next to her was also enough to attract the attention of the passers-by, because it was difficult to tell his age-

It looks like it's mature, but it's as young and energetic as a young man, with a face as straight as a sculpture.

Its body is like a statue of David, and the perfect body that has been rigorously trained is like steel, so that I don't know how many women can hardly take their eyes off it.

"It seems to be the case at the moment, but in this case, it is all the more worthy of our attention......" replied the man so seriously. Erica, this should not be taken lightly. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I understand...... If it weren't for the gods, but they could make the same terrible movement as before, I'm afraid that the initiator himself is ......"

The girl known as Erica smiled slightly.

"This matter cannot be so hastily concluded, just like what happened on Kalimantan Island before, it is very strange, and we still lack sufficient clues and evidence."

Her uncle shook his head and interrupted her.

"And, Erica, you're a genius who will one day stand at the pinnacle of association, and I'll admit it's my personal hope, but you don't have the experience of encountering an opponent of that level yet, right?"

"That's right, it's because I don't, so I'm going to accumulate experience this time."

The girl like a rose boasted so outrageously.

"I guessed you would say that, but to be able to learn the "Holy Spear of Sighs and Prayers" at such an age, what a terrifying girl."

The uncle's expression, who was sighing as he spoke, also changed.

"Our alliance leader Salbatreqing is preparing for the South American expedition, and we can't take care of this side at the moment, so let's continue to collect some intelligence and investigate the local situation."

"Huh? Do you still need to investigate? ”

"Of course it does, even if it has nothing to do with God, it is very likely that it will involve the birth of the seventh king, which is not trivial." My uncle's face became very serious, "Let's go and try to get in touch with the local mystical side, starting with the various shrines near Tokyo." ”
