"What, you said this is the ...... of 'Yellow Sand'" Liu Li's surprise was overflowing, he never expected to get such an astonishing answer from the mouths of two senior spies. Even Rin, who was too lazy to use her brain, opened her mouth in surprise, although little Lori still hasn't figured out what kind of organization "Yellow Sand" is, but it doesn't prevent her from knowing that this organization belongs to a hostile empire that is at war with the Kronos Empire.

"Well, that's the way it is, we were just as surprised as you when we first confirmed the news, but unfortunately we can't get the news out now. Zerus spread his hands helplessly, and continued: "Let's ask Frey for the specific situation, in fact, I haven't been in this small city for a long time, but she's been lurking here for a while, and she specially changed her identity in order to cover me, Molière City can only enter and not go out, which is also what she noticed when she changed her identity." ”

"Tell me more about what this 'only in but not out' is all about. Of course, Liu Li's main concern now is this. In order to avoid being detected by the high-level caster of "Yellow Sand", he was unable to use too many spatial elements for the time being. Although Liu Li believes that no space blockade can stop the "secret shuttle" that has been improved by Landolia, he still hopes to try it after getting tangible evidence.

"Speaking of which, I think it's strange too......" Frey recounted her experience the other day

......

"It's strange, where the hell is this?" said Frey, looking at the sea of sand in front of her, muttering to herself. She clearly remembered that she started from the east gate of the small town of Molière, and then went straight ahead, and when she first came out of the city, she could still see the forest in the distance, but at some point, the surrounding scenery was replaced by the vast yellow sand, and there was no end in sight.

"Damn, what kind of spell effect is it?" Frey herself is only a mid-level martial artist, and she is not really good at spells, so she can't figure out the situation at this time at all, but judging from her years of experience in disguise and lurking, she doesn't feel affected by spells at all. As a veteran spy, she trusted her feelings, so she was even more dazed.

After trying countless methods, but never getting out of this sea of sand, Frey, exhausted, now just wants to find a place to rest. However, she remembered her mission, this time leaving Molière had been planned a long time ago, and she needed to join Zerus today.

Frey didn't have the strength to talk to herself, she couldn't remember how long she had walked, the sun still hanging high in the sky, and it seemed that even time had stood still. At the moment when she just had the idea of giving up, the scene in front of her changed suddenly, and at the end of the endless sea of sand, the shadow of a small city appeared, which was the city of Molière. Not only that, but the hunger, thirst, and exhaustion that lasted for an unknown amount of time also disappeared, as if ...... It's just a few hours away from town.

"Huh, are you waiting for me, why don't you go to the place you made an appointment?" The sudden change in circumstances and her own state made Frey let her guard down for a moment, and at this moment, with the feeling of her palm tapping on her shoulder, she heard the familiar voice of Zerus.

"That's what Frey has been through, Liu Li, what did you think of when you heard this?" Zerus's tone was worried, it was clear that he already had a guess, but he couldn't...... Or maybe I don't want to confirm it.

"Alas, what else could it be but 'Lost Lock'. Liu Li also had a headache about this kind of spell that originated from the elves, "I just don't know which stage of the mystery it is." The first three stages are fine, but if we do reach the fourth stage, maybe we will be exposed by now...... Well, it shouldn't be the fourth stage yet, at least after Lin and I entered the city, we didn't have that feeling of being watched all the time. ”

Liu Li knows much more about the "Lost Lock" than Zerus imagined, this powerful spell originated from the elves, Liu Li not only learned some about the structure of this spell from Heng's mouth, but also consulted some architectural principles about the "Lost Lock" in the Great Library of the Elven Forest, and even the massive knowledge given to him by the Ancient Tree of Life also has a part about the nature of the "Lost Lock". If it weren't for the fact that his strength hadn't reached a high level, and he didn't have a lot of time, Liu Li could have built a complete "Lost Lock" by himself.

The "Lost Lock" is the most complicated and also the most difficult thing to deal with, because it can exist for a long time, God knows how many years this Molière City has fallen into the hands of the Bayer Empire, and even the "Lost Lock" has been tossed out by them. Liu Li couldn't help but secretly curse the high-level of the empire in his heart, and of course, he didn't say it - although Zerus and Frey were also trapped here, their identities were spies in the secret department of the empire after all, and Liu Li didn't want to be caught and cause any trouble for himself.

Regarding the stage classification of "Lost Lock", Liu Li only knows a general concept, and has limited understanding of details. The knowledge given to him by the Ancient Tree of Life is described in some way. The stage classification of the "Lost Lock" has little to do with the function it exhibits, and this classification is mainly reflected in the aspect of intelligence.

It is said that after the "Lost Lock" reaches the fourth stage, it can be regarded as a complete life, which will give birth to wisdom and "personality", and also has its own emotions and preferences. It will store consciousness in the energy supply core, and everything that happens within the reach of the "Lock" will no longer be a secret to it.

In fact, the layout made by Wells in Orosha Castle is the prototype of "Lost Lock". If you can replace the role played by the middle-level spellcaster with a magic circle, and then combine all the magic arrays to power with a powerful core to form a whole, you can form a complete "Lost Lock". And it is far more complicated than the "maze lock" of Molière, after all, the "maze lock" here has not yet found other functions except for the maze.

Regarding the knowledge of the "Lost Lock", Liu Li also did not hide it from Zerus, if he wanted to leave Molière City quietly, it was up to him to formulate a plan of action. In terms of thoughtfulness, Liu Li thought that he could not compete with the two senior spies in front of him.

"It's also a little strange, a lot of mercenaries who are planning to support the front line have come here recently, although they are also trapped, but they have never been really harmed, at least I have not seen anyone die, I don't understand what those Baier people are going to do. Frey had more doubts in her mind, "They took a laissez-faire attitude towards the mercenaries, and did not impose any more restrictions other than not being able to leave the town. ”

"Let's not consider the purpose of these Baier people, according to what you said, the key to leaving this small city is still to be on the core of the Lost Lock, right?" Zerus fell into thought, "Not to mention that the core must be heavily guarded, we have not even determined the location of the core yet, so the next task will start with finding the core." ”

Seeing that poor little Lori was already drowsy, Zerus took the opportunity to end the discussion and asked Frey to arrange for Liu Li and the others to rest first.

......

"How's the mission of 'Yellow Sand' done?" asked Norton, leaning over the table and looking at the battle report, without looking up.

"It's not bad, at least more than twenty percent of Kronos's mercenaries will never reach the front line. Castro was also looking at the report in his hand, which came from the top of the "Yellow Sands" organization active in Kronos, "Speaking of which, Molière's work is much better than we planned...... But isn't it breaking the rules for us to do this?"

"Well, Molière just did what he had been doing, but it was in our interest...... I should teach that guy a lesson, and I'm going to see how he does that neutrality this time. Anyway, he's also a Baier, and I don't believe that after such a thing, the spellcasters of Kronos can continue to indulge him. ”

"Alright, I know you have a grudge against Molière, but if you do so, you will probably force him to Cronos's side, and we will have to rely on him for our 'Lock' research. ”

"Well, I know that, but I'm just angry, why do you think he's so dead-eyed?" Norton's tone revealed a taste called hatred of iron and steel.

"Norton, we've known each other for so long, and we're good friends, but I still have to remind you that it's best to wait until everything settles before the two brothers settle, so as not to let it affect the direction of this war, otherwise I won't be able to help you if you are held accountable." ”

“...... Well, you're right. Norton let out a long sigh of relief, his frown calming down considerably, "Have your children send a message to Molière and tell him...... Just keep it as it is, and you don't need to do anything superfluous. ”

"Oh, that's right. Hearing Norton's decision, Castro's mood also relaxed a little, "Okay, old friend, I'm not in the way here, you can rest early, the problem of Orosha Castle can't be solved in a short time, don't be tired." ”

"Don't worry about you, go about your own business. ”

......

"How's the mercenaries doing?" In the Barer tent, at the same time that Norton and Castro were talking, in the fortress hall of Orosha Castle, Vedro and Wells were having a similar conversation.

"Although the losses under the infiltration of 'Yellow Sand' are not small, our mercenaries will not admit defeat so easily. Wells's tone was filled with pride, and as one of the honorary presidents of the Imperial Mercenary Guild, he was indeed proud.

"I've heard there's something wrong with Molière, isn't that little city always under the sight of the Royal Mages Society? Wells, can you give me an explanation? ”

"Molière......" Wells was silent for a moment when he heard Vidro mention the subject, and then took a sip of spider wine, "I can't go into details about the situation over there, but ...... You just don't bother with it, just don't think about it. ”

"I can't accept your explanation, I'm the leader of this war, and I'm qualified to know everything that might affect the war. "Vedro obviously didn't just notice the problems in Molière, but only spread the topic today.

"It's not a question of whether you're okay with it......" Wells smiled bitterly, he had heard about the situation in Molière, but the situation there was a bit complicated.

"Wells, you ......"

"What are you, my Will won't tell you if he doesn't tell you, and I'll beat me if I don't accept you!" As the black funnel suddenly appeared, Landolia interrupted Vedro in an extremely arrogant tone, "How about it, Kuhn, I'll just say that the news that the 'Iron Wall of the Empire' is seriously injured and unable to lead the army is false." ”
