Chapter 130: Cursed Rift
After leaving Cilita's room, Jiang Feng and Leia walked side by side in the hallway.
There hasn't been much conversation between the two.
As she reached the top of the stairs, Leia opened her mouth abruptly.
"Seres may be dead."
Not surprised, Jiang Feng nodded slightly.
"That's what I thought too."
In fact, he had been thinking about this question just now.
In order to expand the territory of the theocracy in the universe, the idealistic civilization with the power of faith as the core development direction will not only take the power of faith from believers, but also feed back part of the power to its own believers according to the situation, so as to help them gain more faith for themselves.
For example, the Tinia and Captain Monkiri he had encountered, as well as the thieves' guild in Valland, and even Prince William, whom he had not yet met, all of whom were helped by the four gods of Chaos to a certain extent.
However, this help is not gratuitous.
Sending energy to galaxies that are light-years or even hundreds of light-years away requires a huge amount of energy.
So, what is the reason that the father god Julian does not hesitate to expend a lot of faith power to designate the ants in its eyes as the Chosen One, so as to instantly increase the strength of her high-level knight to the master, and even above the holy rank, so as to meet the conditions for awakening the sword of Gondal.
There is only one possibility......
That is, if Cilita died, he would have a big headache.
In this way, Silita should be the only one of the existing Gondal family who has the strength to awaken the power lodged in the "Sword of Gondar". As for her brother Serres, it is very likely that he has died in this war of succession......
Jiang Feng guessed that although the Sword of Gondar could activate the power in the bloodline of the human queen, there should be another trigger condition here, that is, the holder himself had at least the level of a master knight. For example, Seres Gondal is undoubtedly a suitable choice, he himself has a noble character, not only adheres to the creed of a knight, but also has the strength of a master. Even after liberating the power of the bloodline, with the power to defy mortals, he will unswervingly fight for the people, for the kingdom, and for the faith......
It's just a pity that he's dead.
In order to prevent the Sword of Gondar from missing out on this apocalyptic battle, the father Julian had to intervene in the world with divine powers, and give the title of the Chosen One to a family whose ancestors had received the blessings of the elves.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The Chosen One who wields the Sword of Gondar, the one chosen by the Elves and the Father God Julian at the same time, is both a Holy Knight blessed by the Father God and a bloodline Knight who liberates the power of heroes, what is the difference between this special and open?
simply changed his name to Xi Aotian.
"Shall we just go back?" Leia's expression was hesitant.
"Otherwise, do you still expect me to help her finish this war?" Jiang Feng said disapprehantly, "But before leaving, there is a relic in the Thorn Wasteland that I am quite concerned about, and I plan to go over there to take a look before leaving." ”
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Jiang Feng glanced at Leia in surprise.
Very rarely, this was the first time she cared about her own things.
Being looked at by Jiang Feng's gaze a little unnatural, Leia said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Any questions?"
"No problem." Jiang Feng shook his head, "If the workbench is next to me, I don't mind making a few protective suits and bringing more people in, but unfortunately I don't have that condition." ”
Leia tilted her head, not understanding what Jiang Feng was talking about.
Jiang Feng didn't explain much and walked towards his room.
……
The Damned Rift is located in the eastern part of Boulder City, and it only takes two hours to reach by horseback ride.
"A kilometer or so further on, you can see that rift, I can only send you here, it will be too dangerous any further." Riding on a horse, the mercenary with a big sword on his back said to Jiang Feng with an embarrassed face.
At first, I heard that the employer's destination was the Cursed Rift, and no one wanted to take on the task at all.
Even if you don't step into the range of the Cursed Rift, you may be infected with the "curse" just by passing by, so whether it is a caravan or a mercenary group, they will choose to avoid this dangerous area as much as possible, and no one wants to make a special trip to find it. It wasn't until Jiang Feng increased the commission to a hundred silver coins that someone finally couldn't resist the temptation of money and took on the task.
"That's all there is to it." Jiang Feng nodded, and did not embarrass him, took out a bag of silver coins from his arms and threw them into his arms.
Untied the money bag and swept his eyes, put it in his hand and weighed it, the mercenary on the horse said to Jiang Feng to take care, and then rode in the direction of Boulder City, not wanting to stay in this place for even a second.
[Warning, the user is entering a radiation contamination zone, and the gamma rays exceed the safe value, so it is recommended to prepare for radiation]
After hearing Zhi Brain's warning, Jiang Feng took out a potion from his belt, unscrewed the cork, and drank it with his head up.
The cold and viscous liquid was cold and jelly, but it didn't taste very good. Feeling the heat flowing in his blood, Jiang Feng tied the restlessly neighing horse to the dead wood next to him, and then walked in the direction of the rift.
Radiation is such a thing as a deadly presence for most living things.
However, for the Federalists, who have already undergone several generations of genetic modification, they do not pose a particularly serious threat at all.
After all, in the colonies of the Federation, many habitable planets are themselves in the radiation belt of stars, and it is impossible to colonize such planets without overcoming their resistance to radiation. As early as thousands of years ago, in the first genetic modification, the radiation resistance characteristics were specially designed to solve the problem of the ability of the Federation to adapt to the radiation environment.
Although it is not completely ignorant of the effects of radiation, at least the tolerance for gamma rays has been raised to a fairly high standard. Coupled with the effect of anti-radiation agents, this level of radiation is already negligible for Jiang Feng.
Sure enough, as the effect of the drug completely spread, the alarm projected on the retina was also lifted.
Walking in the direction of the rift valley, Jiang Feng noticed that there was less and less vegetation nearby. Especially after entering the rift valley, only desertified land is left on the ground, and there is not a single sign of life.
The deeper he walked into the rift valley, the more certain Jiang Feng was that the radiation here was caused by a nuclear waste leak, and that it was a nuclear fusion reactor with a high degree of danger. If it were a nuclear fusion reaction, it would not have caused such a serious radioactive residue at all.
"There are at least 10 tonnes of nuclear waste under the rift, and it's the kind that hasn't been environmentally disposed of."
Walking towards the depths of the rift, Jiang Feng released the ghost drone, his gaze moving along the rock walls on both sides, carefully guarding the surroundings.
Although this is a forbidden area for life, it cannot be ruled out that some extremely dangerous mutated creatures have adapted to the radiation environment.
Luckily, however, there were no dangerous creatures along the way.
[Approaching the radioactive source]
"Isn't it just a short distance ahead?"
Glancing at the pop-up window projected on the retina, Jiang Feng opened the insurance of the Galaxy K1.
Although there will not necessarily be a fight, he is ready for any eventuality.
Didn't go far ahead.
In front of an alloy door embedded in the rock wall, Jiang Feng stopped.
Even if you don't have an intelligent brain analyzing the gamma data, you can guess just by looking at it that the source of the Cursed Rift is behind this alloy door.
Reaching out and knocking on the door panel, according to the echo Jiang Feng, the thickness of this alloy door should be between 50-70mm. The material of the alloy door should be steel mixed with a small amount of chromium, and the surface that has been corroded by the years can no longer see the handwriting that was once engraved on it, and Jiang Feng can't even judge what this facility is used for.
One thing is certain, though, and that is that this thing is definitely not of this world.
"Is it another traverser? Even the nuclear facilities were figured out? The planet is unexpectedly lively. ”
Jiang Feng shook his head and ordered through his brain.
"Wraith, help me open it."
