How many floors does the Tower of Supremacy have?

It's a topic that many people talk about, and yet no one can give a sure number, but Amy Ulysses can be sure that at least the ninety-ninth floor is not the end of it.

The vibration of the lifting frame gradually subsided, the roar of steel gradually turned into a hoarse hiss, and with a series of shocking sparks, the constantly changing numbers on the door number finally had an accurate number.

One hundred and two.

With just a cursory glance, the young Glory Man stepped forward.

Steam power is not a new technology, as early as the middle of the age of kings, the craftsmen of Prometheus have created the prototype of the steam engine, and gradually improved it in the following years, according to legend, at the end of the age of kings, steam power has been widely used in all corners of life, playing an indispensable role in people's daily life, until-

The long night has come to an end.

The chaos of blind stupidity devours everything and distorts everything.

Even if only the rules of human concept exist, they are not immune to the difficulties - if the steam in the past was the water buffalo and domestic pigs that were domesticated by people, then the steam engine made with the same technology is the wild cattle and wild boars that have returned to the wasteland in the new environment after the dark invasion - their power is greatly enhanced, but at the same time, the stability and safety are greatly reduced, once they are operational, they will be like elephants and bulls in estrus, which can be detonated anytime and anywhere for any reason.

To this day, although the steam engine still operates in Hemtika, it is controlled quite tightly by the Glory. I didn't expect that the supreme tower of the Order would use the steam engine as the power source of the entire tower, presumably the Order with a religious cloak but with unimaginable technical power must have mastered the method of using steam power safely - with the terrifying kinetic energy he sensed on the lifting frame, if it gets out of control, the entire Order will face a catastrophe, and there must not be a few lucky people around who can survive by luck.

But with the mystery and power of the church, the probability of such a situation is really small.

After all, it is a powerful force that can pass through the dark void.

But...... There should also be considerable limitations, the young glorious man squinted, and his mind unconsciously skimmed over the white and black areas that Ignati had talked about, assuming that there really were air warships that could freely shuttle through the vast and deep night, then the word "lost" in the lost royal capital would have to be marked with a big quotation mark, and the sacrifices of many people would become worthless and meaningless.

It's just that...... The boy didn't think the Order could really act unscrupulously in the depths of the night.

Although it was only speculation, it was not difficult to understand from the heavy and desperate tone of the Dark Traveler that the black zone and the white zone in the deep night were two completely different things, and no matter how great the Order's origins and mastery of the technology were, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the dark depths that approached the blind and foolish.

"It's here. ”

Walking through the simple and chic cloister, Miss Nun stopped in front of a scarlet door, and then bowed slightly to the Glorious One behind her: "Mr. Ulysses, the Bishop is waiting for you behind the door. ”

"Thank you. After a polite nod, Amy pushed open the hidden door, looked at the delicate and elegant meeting room without showing any timidity, and then sat down in front of the old man as generously as the host, and greeted the other party with a smile, "Greetings, Mr. Franks." ”

"It's been a while," the old man squinted, perhaps because of the rings of the years, or perhaps because the time spent together was too short, in the impression of the young man, the Order's powerful bishop never seemed to open his eyes, and was always smiling: "Little Ulysses." ”

"Yulia please, this time. The young Glory One expressed his sincere gratitude.

"This is the duty of the elders," Franks stroked his beard, and the white and flawless vestments added to the old bishop's body not only did not add even a bit of prestige, but added a little kindness, "However, I don't think you are here to talk to an old man like me today, do you?"

"You've seen through it. The boy was not embarrassed, and said frankly, "I just want to pass on a message to you." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Quite an important piece of news. ”

"It seems that the lower district is not very stable during this time," the high-ranking bishop smiled, and did not go into the topic further, but simply passed by, "However, if there are demons as rumored, I don't mind helping you." ”

The young Glory Man was a little puzzled, but now was not the time to think deeply, he did not delve into the hidden meaning of the old man's words, and said directly: "That's really grateful—although there are no demons in the lower districts, there are indeed monsters that are even more vicious than demons. ”

"You mean......" the white-robed bishop thought.

"In vivo," Amy paused, "and...... Artificial half-demon. ”

"Really...... The ignorant are fearless. The old man stroked his beard and said, his wrinkled old cheeks showing an unusual calm, "It seems that the darkness of the lower districts has bred a terrible monster. ”

"I've had a fight with one of them," the boy didn't intend to hide too much, putting aside his personal relationship, the Order's position in Hemtika was quite transcendent, and there was absolutely no possibility of interfering in the infighting of the Glory, "I just barely brought back the news." ”

"It seems that the experiment has been quite perfect. The Bishop of the Order was not too surprised by this, demons, especially high demons, have never been opponents to be underestimated, even if they are just the residue of flesh and blood, they still contain the terrifying power of returning from death, "I just don't know if I have touched the last forbidden realm." ”

"Forbidden Realm?" repeated the young Glory, not without curiosity.

"Demons are divided into two categories: ordinary demons and high-level demons," the old man spread his hands, "Ordinary demons may be terrifying enough to ordinary people, but the garrison only needs to transfer a few teams of firecrackers to destroy them, but high-level demons are different, the gap between ordinary demons and them is no smaller than the gap between ordinary people and those of glory - in fact, the kings formed the knights, mainly against this type of demons. ”

"They are more treacherous, cunning, and powerful than their counterparts – some of them even have terrifying abilities that ordinary people can't imagine. Frank paused and took a sip of black tea, "At the moment when the fire is declining, they are fully capable of invading the lower areas where the power of the fire is relatively weak. ”

"Sounds scary. "I didn't care too much about the old man's alarmist boy, if the high-level demons could really regard the fire as nothing, not to mention the lower districts, even the upper districts would have been flattened by them a long time ago.

"You don't seem scared at all. "But you guessed it right, after all, they are just evil creatures bred by chaos, and the defensive barrier that can break through the fire is already the limit, and in the holy land constructed by the light of order, their abilities have been greatly weakened, to the point that even ordinary humans with firearms are capable of killing them." ”

"Are you talking about hunters?" Amy couldn't help asking, the upper area, the lower area and the fog area of the Hemtika atmosphere, among which the weakest area of the fire power is the fog area, the fringe area of the order plagued by the fog no longer has the conditions for normal human life, only a group of crazy people who chase profit will be active there all year round, "I always thought that the existence of the fog area is just ordinary demons. ”

The old man only smiled implicitly at this, and did not speak.

"In that case," the boy raised an eyebrow, "why are man-made demons considered taboo?"

- Judging from the few words he had learned before, the half-human, half-demon made by using demon flesh and blood seemed to have great security risks, and could even become the source of a catastrophe.

"Do you think wolves are more terrible, or wolves in sheep's clothing are more terrible? "If the High Demons are resurrected from human bodies, their chaotic minds will be greatly altered, they will have reason, they will learn to hide themselves, and more importantly, they will ...... They can be recognized by the fire and walk in the light of order. ”

"That's really ...... Quite a scary monster. Amy nodded knowingly.

"That's right, so the Order will intervene. Franks glanced deeply at the young man in front of him, and then shook his head again, "But it may not be as fast as you think, on the one hand, the materials you handed over to me do not directly explain the seriousness of the problem, and on the other hand, the sword-wielder does not have a strict subordinate relationship with us - such a matter of great importance, presumably the sword-wielder will personally send someone to verify." ”

"Isn't doubt enough?" asked the young Glory Man subconsciously, as far as he knew, the sword-wielders of the Order had never been police officers who valued evidence.

"This is true for the sword-wielders, but in their eyes, we are also objects of suspicion. The old man lowered his eyelids, and there was no joy or sorrow in his old and deep voice, "Holding a sword is keeping a precept, because each of us is born to be ...... The guilty. ”

"Sexual evil?" Amy asked cautiously.

"Not really," the bishop of the Order shook his head and changed the subject stiffly, "Speaking of which, I haven't told Yulia about your arrival, so don't you try to surprise her?"

"Thank you. ”

The teenager is not uninteresting to get to the bottom of it, besides...... He really misses Yulia, too.

After all—

This is his only surviving relative.
