The reason for Ivan to be shaken is not the poison itself, but the question of whether the other party will keep his promise after he returns as promised.

If Elu Luomei refuses to deliver the antidote at one time, or that there is no cure for this poison, and can only be suppressed by taking medicine again and again, then won't she have to be controlled by others all the time in her life?

"It is not uncommon for children who grew up in the countryside to never set foot in their homeland after accidentally entering the big city. ”

The pupils of the princess reflected the dazzling sunlight, and her fair and slender index finger pointed at the bottle cap, looking at him with a smile:

"You can't have it both ways, can you?"

"At least there is hope. ”

After Evan replied to the question, he picked up the crystal bottle, twisted the cap and drank the strange liquid inside, and threw the empty bottle to the ground, smashing into countless glittering debris.

......

As dusk fell, the earthy earth was covered with a reddish glow. The humid north roars from the Mediterranean Sea and sweeps across the city of the lake, and the bronze space fortress stands above the thick clouds, like the palace of the gods in the epic.

Evan rode the chariot of the sun, looking down on the earth below, and he saw the fishing boats of the royal capital returning from all directions in the afterglow of the setting sun. It's the busiest time of the day, and fishermen fishing at Mirror Lake and the beach have to go home for a night to dispel fatigue, huddled around the piers and fences waiting to be checked.

The Space Fortress is like a city in the sky, standing above countless clouds stacked on top of each other. With the loud neighing of horses, chariots burning with golden flames swept into the sky, passing through the clouds, and everywhere there was a slow-flowing white mist.

“......”

With the reins in his hand, Ivan controlled the Sun Warhorse to climb upwards and approach the entrance to the highest point of the Space Fortress, where the tall bronze tower towered from the clouds to the sky, creating a majestic scene.

Click——!

Just as he was approaching, at the top of the tower, a closed hatch swirled and opened outward, revealing a light-filled interior.

"It's an electric light!"

Maybe it was because of the sight of things, but after seeing the row of bright lights in the hatch, Evan actually felt the urge to shed tears.

After the speeding Sun Chariot rushed into the space fortress, the hatch instantly rotated and re-closed, and at the same time, the purification equipment was activated, quickly filtering the air that had just been inhaled into a clean gas that was harmless to the people of the fortress.

Ivan continued along the rough one-way runway, and after passing through a closed hatch, the space in front of him grew larger. It was what appeared to be a parking lot-like bay, neatly moored with dozens of sleek bullet-shaped ships.

In the center of the space, there stood a row of 'aliens' wearing crisp black uniforms, and the middle-aged man at the head of the group was Keane, the person in charge of the treaty with Evan in the first place.

However, at this time, the person in charge was no longer the spirit of the day, his skin was loose, his eye sockets were deep, his expression was gray, and he looked overworked and decrepit, standing there as if he might fall down and die suddenly at any time.

"See you again, Your Majesty Evan. ”

He squeezed out a false smile and said to Evan who was driving the Sun Chariot towards him.

"I didn't think we'd meet again under these circumstances, and I'm sorry for what happened to you. ”

He almost laughed out loud with joy in his heart, but there was a trace of sadness on his face, and he controlled the Sun War Horse to slowly stop his pace, jumped out of the car and drove in front of the intruder:

"If I can help, I'm going to do my best. ”

"Find the dreadbeast lurking in the fortress and we'll grant you your wish to study abroad, it's a reasonable deal. Keane was not in the mood to be polite to him at this time, and he went straight to the point as soon as they met.

"That's what I'm here for. ”

Evan nodded his head in satisfaction, then looked at the management standing behind him, raised his eyebrows and stared at him for a moment, and then told the other party in a determined tone:

"There is nothing wrong with these people behind you, I suggest that their isolation be protected for the time being, and when the dreadbeast is found, they will be free again. ”

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a judge. ”

Seeing that his work efficiency was so high, Kean's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly explained: "It's okay, the people in the entire spaceship have been isolated and controlled by the security department, you just need to follow us to check one by one." ”

"So let's get started now. Ivan nodded happily.

......

Led by Keane, Evan followed the entire management of the Space Fortress to the various isolation areas guarded by mechanics.

The two walls of the passage are made of huge metal panels that fit together seamlessly, and the ceiling is lined with built-in lights. The network of fire, spaced out along the passages, made it possible to control the situation inside the fortress at any time.

The first quarantine area is a warehouse of supplies that has been emptied.

The entire space is circular, with a ceiling more than three meters high, and a columnar chandelier hanging from it illuminates every corner. Hundreds of suspects lay in the warehouse, all listlessly closed and watching, monitored by fully automatic laser guns with cameras. Opposite the door is a huge screen that offers a panoramic view of the entire quarantine area, and even the crumbs of snacks on the floor can be clearly seen.

Ivan stood by the door and looked around, faintly feeling the mutated nightmare aura remaining in the space, but it was not the suspect here, it seemed that it had only appeared here.

"The Dreadbeast isn't here at the moment, but it was here not long ago. He turned and said.

"You're right. ”

Keane's spirits perked up, and with a convincing expression, he pointed to the northwest corner of the warehouse and said:

"Four days ago, the Dreadbeast killed one of our engineers there, and then vanished as if out of invisibility. This monster is capable of mimicking the appearance of a human at the cellular level, and can even reproduce the expression and behavior of its victims, and although our weapons are strong, we are helpless in this situation. ”

"Can I reproduce the victim's expression!?"

Ivan tensed his nerves and his heart pounded - doesn't that mean he can read the victim's memories? If this kind of thing is allowed to run rampant, the other party may absorb the power of the mechanic and become a monster comparable to the demon king.

At this moment, the laser guns hanging from the ceiling suddenly turned their heads in unison, and they were aimed at the management outside the door like lightning.

Wow——!

In an instant, dozens of scarlet rays intertwined and slashed towards the hatch, and Evan didn't know the power of the laser gun, so he didn't hard-connect, and directly dragged Keane to dodge it, narrowly avoiding the strafing of the rays.

Among the rest of the management, some of them reacted quickly enough to fall to the ground and roll in embarrassment, escaping from the laser gun's firepower. Another part of the people was not so lucky, they were directly cut into hundreds of pieces of minced meat with neat edges by the light, and they were scattered all over the ground in an uproar, because the wounds were all roasted, and not even a drop of blood flowed.
