"The speed is 96 kilometers per hour, there is still room for improvement, 15,000 meters above the ground, the limit should be able to reach 20,000 meters, the course is due south and west, and the wind direction is very favorable to us......"

Occupying the core of the floatship and laying a hidden arcane circuit on the cabin floor, Taling Christine has successfully taken over the behemoth of the glowing elemental aura and the near-perfect combination of machinery, and is reporting to Master Triss in the language of the heart as promised.

Sitting cross-legged in his seat, immersed in the spiritual world to exercise himself, the invisible infectious force made the noisy atmosphere of the cabin gradually recede, especially after the freshness of the members of the lucky fortune gold coins who boarded the floating ship passed away, except for a few curious alternatives, most of them were infected by Grand Master Triss to focus on their own world.

In the bow of the floating ship, three high-level members of the temple dedicated to the Knights stood in front of an arcane telegraph, derived from the legacy of the old floating city, and the interconnected duplex structure was covered with tiny runes.

Every time there was a resonant vibration from a distant and unknown place, it would inspire the runes to light up one by one, and the silver-bearded chief priest Mels himself copied them on the paper, and translated them into the lingua franca after combining and arranging, and handed them over to the two companions, Peping and Rod, to share.

"The plantation slaves of the southern principality of Eregon had three armed uprisings yesterday, and the Principality of Carolina prevented a resistance of the mine slaves in advance, and some of the Beamon orcs fled into the Dragonspine Mountains, while the human slaves chose to submit. What do you think?"

Piping, with long pale blonde shawl hair, frowned, recalling the relevant documents inside the temple.

"According to unofficial statistics within the southern states, there are about 580,000 orc slaves, scattered among the eleven principalities. These sons of beasts from the Black Continent have come to West through the bloody Black Triangle trade to fill the plantations that require a lot of labor. From the old times to the present day, a large number of people have multiplied, and a unique new race of orcs has been spawned, which combines the strengths and weaknesses of humans and orcs, and judging by my experience, the official number has shrunk significantly, and the true number has at least doubled. ”

Rhodes, who was pressed by the iron hoop, nodded lightly: "The orc slaves tamed by the leather whip and the soldering iron are the product of the early Black Triangle trade, more or less tainted with the customs of the south and faded into the wildness, becoming vassals of the lord of the manor, usually as overseers and leaders to manage their clan, only the orcs who have come to the West continent in recent years, the savage and violent blood has not been completely tamed, and is often the potential core of resistance." Maybe you can use them and win them over as the striker of the counter-attack. ”

The chief priest, Myers, put down the information coming from the front: "The southern kingdoms are in constant internal turmoil, and they have to export wars to the outside world, and two principalities in Middle-earth have been crippled, and the war dividends that have almost emptied the treasury after the large-scale looting have strengthened the determination of the archdukes to carry the war to the end. As for the Bloods standing behind them, the latent forces hidden under the table are growing, which is not a good thing, it is too disruptive to the balance. ”

Piping couldn't help but ask: "Shouldn't we draw out the funds for support......

Rhodes hurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "Shhhh ”

After Mels crumpled the white paper on which the information was recorded, he slowly grinded it with his palms together, revealing a hot red light that distorted the air between his fingers, completely destroying all evidence.

"The high-level core is playing a big game of chess, the Southern Duchy, the Empire of the Undead, and the Inhuman Dark Alliance are all pawns on the chessboard, and the blood clan thinks that the huge power accumulated over a hundred years of recuperation can compete with the temple in chess, they are too naïve. ”

Pi Ping showed a puzzled expression: "Our people have not yet figured out the location of the Night Capital, and it is not in any known subordinate plane, could it be a fragment of the divine kingdom of an immortal, a secret realm between the unreal and the real......"

Rod, whose messy short hair was pressed by an iron hoop, immediately interrupted: "There is absolutely no such possibility, it's not that the chosen one can't enter at all, let alone build a large-scale city." The first round of selection was at the end of last year, and only a few secret realms were activated, concentrated in the countries of Middle-earth. However, only the unicorn goddess Rala was more suitable for the voters, and successfully brought out a bottle of youth spring, which was secretly sold to the royal families through the channel of the temple, and the second round has not been seen so far. ”

Chief Priest Myers pondered for a moment: "It's not in a known half-plane, it's not a mysterious and untouchable secret realm, could it be ......?"

He looked up at the sky, his gaze through the transparent glass window, trying to find something, and there was some eagerness in his expression.

"The Night Won't be hidden in the starry Outlands, right?"

This time, no one opened his mouth to interrupt Peping's speech, and the indescribable spirit in the darkness felt touched, as if this was the truth. After a long time, the three temple leaders digested this shocking fact, and the chief priest of Myers, who was secretly the leader, spoke slowly.

"Those vampires have also excavated the legacy of the Floating City of the Old Era, and the direction of their research is very unique, perhaps due to the breakthrough of the protective shield technology to block the erosion of the Void, and the Night Capital in the Outlands should be a large floating city. ”

The two chief priests nodded their heads in agreement with Myers's conjecture, and Pepin, who was often unscrupulous, immediately suggested: "Inform the joint meeting of our findings immediately, and the high-level core decision-makers must be informed of this information as soon as possible, and I believe they will make targeted adjustments." ”

"Seconded!" Myers was the first to raise his hand to show the family emblem ring, Rod was a little angry, originally he should have said these words, but the matter has come to this, in the face of a two-to-one situation, he can only agree.

In the middle of the main cabin, Aldrich Tris, who was sitting motionless in his position, was still immersed in the world of spiritual cultivation, when he suddenly heard the words of the heart from Taling Christine.

"What? Armed with righteousness, slaves fled...... This is a harbinger of the collapse of the plantation economy of the Southern Principality, and it is truly delightful!"

"And the temple funding...... I knew that these people were unreliable, and the so-called rescue plan was probably to take back the representatives who negotiated the terms. ”

"Secret Realm, the City of Night...... It's just a back road built by the vampires for themselves, and it seems that they are also very wary of the temple and prepare in advance, in case of a major setback in the struggle for supremacy in the West, the undead will retreat to ...... Where? the outer lands between the stars and the sea!"

"Christine, how do you know these secrets......? Using the resonance of the air element, the upper echelons of the temple in the bow of the floating ship said it themselves. You shouldn't be able to ...... this skill."

"The legacy of the old times, the Elemental Disc, give me a projection description of the details...... It turns out that the radio for long-distance communication is nothing more than an element as a medium. ”

"Although this is the era of the ebb and flow of the elements, it is much better than the old era in tapping into the deep potential of the elements. It can be seen that while the industrial fire ignited by coal and steam is still burning, a new latent force is slowly rising, and the second industrial revolution with extraordinary power is beginning to sprout. ”

"The course of the times has been artificially sped back! An invisible and invisible hand will not be a temple with a commercial network all over the West, but an unspeakable fate in the underworld!"

Aldrich Triss suddenly realizes the difference in this life, and regaining memories of the past allows him to capture the context of the times and make targeted strategies in advance. However, after the turmoil of the old and new eras, the remnants of the elemental, arcane and other supernatural powers have not yet faded, and there seem to be signs of a comeback.

Christine reminded in time: "Master Tris, the tumultuous noise of the times has gradually subsided, the old and new forces have reached a balance, and my ontological intuition judgment module has a strange premonition that a small elemental tide is coming, because of the increasingly fierce war. ”

"I see, I see. By the way, dear Christine, can the Mage Tower's energy pool take the opportunity to reopen the channel to the elemental plane?"

"Master Tris, not only has the elemental plane become far away, but it is also difficult to clearly locate the four-axis space-time coordinates, I'm very sorry, but the mage tower where the main body is located will try hard. ”

Skipping this topic, Aldrich turned his head to ask about the situation of the floating ship, and Christine replied clearly: "Completely occupy the core equipment, the power compartment is also in control, the entire floating ship has been successfully taken over by seventy percent, and everyone, including the temple upper echelons who stay in the heavily protected bow compartment, I can easily monitor their every move." ”

"Very good, keep working hard, and strive to completely capture this armored floating ship before reaching the destination! The temple will not arrange for me to take a free tour, and the southern principalities in front of me may have traps that threaten my life or terrifying enemies......"

Suddenly remembering the vampire lord who died at his hands, and what he had once said, Aldrich immediately asked Christine: "Promoted to the Great Knight of Virtue, my blood is not a powerful catalyst for vampires." ”

After waiting for a while, Christine, who turned into a floating ship spirit, responded: "There shouldn't be this possibility, Master Tris's blood contains a strong positive energy, and for the vampire clan born from the blood source in the depths of the darkness, it is definitely a weapon-level poison of destruction." You are the natural enemy of the Bloodline, especially the vampires below the earl, and you can't even withstand your burning source of faith. ”

Aldrich chuckled lightly and left the spiritual world, strolling around the cabin, listening to the muffled whispers of the members of the Order, occasionally chatting with familiar people, most of whom he had personally subdued the leaders of the faction.

The floatship continues to walk through the clouds, and no one can find its trace in the sky, and the eternal tranquility stretches infinitely.
