Chapter 121: Investigation Mission
As the head of the mission, Bartlett has always prided himself on manipulating the land. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It is said that 400 years ago, Charles the Great, who recaptured the Northern Regions for mankind, had a similar image. And this image is also one of the reasons why he was appointed by the Grand Duke as the head of the investigation team.
At this time, on a hill about 500 yards away from the epicenter, he was using his proud ability to build the camp's defenses.
I saw that he was lifting his hands upwards with his palms up, as if he was holding up some heavy object. With this movement, the originally low ground in front of him began to slowly bulge upward, gradually forming a thick wall of earth, as if something was lifting the earth and rocks up from the ground.
The earthen wall slowly rose until it was about one and a half people tall and stopped growing, which was the limit of what Bartlett could do now. He stopped his upward movement and began to manipulate the earth and stone to change shape, and gradually some earthy stairs and a portal that could only be passed by one person began to form. And when the earthen wall finally had the appearance of a wall, he nodded in satisfaction.
Like Charles the Great, he raised a huge wall that was separated by hundreds of thousands of miles and nearly 50 yards high, which was an unattainable realm for him after all, and with the strength of his middle ability, he could make a small earthen wall and surround the entire camp where the investigation team was stationed, which was already quite an incredible ability.
It's just that people are different. Although Bartlett can't create a miracle like Charles the Great, he still has some other abilities that can make a little improvement to his work.
He took a few steps forward, pressed his hand against the earthen wall he had raised, and silently activated the power of his mind. I saw that the earthen wall was centered on the palm of its hand, and it gradually began to transform into gray-white steel. In a matter of moments, the entire earthen wall became an iron wall made of steel.
Substance conversion.
This is another image of his mind. Although this mental image is only in the middle position, and the matter being turned back has a time limit, and it must be undisturbed and must be touched by one's own hands before it can be activated, all the shortcomings cannot hide the power of this mental image. It made all the high-ranking people in the Northern Regions envious and admired.
As for why he chose to transform into steel, it was naturally because it was only the hardest thing he could transform at the moment.
"Charlie, Picole, you two go outside the wall to set up guards and traps, this is already a dangerous area for us, and depending on what Master Clark means, we have to stay here for a while, we can't be as foolish as before!" Bartlett instructed the two subordinates who had placed the camp behind him after completing his defenses.
"Yes, Bartlett!" Charlie and Picole replied in unison, preparing the necessary tools and leaving the camp.
Bartlett nodded and walked towards the tent in the center of the camp. There, an old scholar in his sixties with long gray hair was holding a magnifying glass and studying the parchment drawings on the floor.
"Master Clark, how are you doing?" he asked respectfully after sitting down beside the old scholar and waiting for a moment.
In fact, the reason why he was stationed so far away from the epicenter was in itself the meaning of this old man with bad eyes and an extremely tough body. He is the best geologist in the entire Northern Regions and a certified university scholar by the City of Knowledge Truth Society. When the Grand Duke recruited the investigation team, this old man, who was so famous that even the Grand Duke had to respect him, was the first to respond to the call.
"Shhhh A feminine girl with bright blonde hair approached, sat down at Bartlett, made a booing gesture, and said softly, "Captain Bartlett, don't disturb Grandpa at this time. ”
Bartlett was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, pressed his temperament, and continued to wait.
He knew that the girl's name was Julie, and that she was the granddaughter of Master Clark. Because her grandfather took the initiative to join the investigation team, as a median capable person, she also joined the investigation team in order to take care of the old man.
Of course, this decision of hers made everyone, especially the Grand Duke, feel extremely embarrassed, because although this girl was a middle-ranking person, her combat power was really a little unflattering, so that everyone did not approve of her joining at first.
But in the end, her mental image made the Grand Duke change his mind, and for a time everyone in the investigation team had to sigh, calling the world a thousand times, there are no surprises.
This girl has two mental images.
The first mental image is a deep sleep, which can cause a single or group target to fall into a slumber, and then wake it up at their own will. It is said that the reason for this was that when I was a child, I found that my grandfather, Master Clark, often had insomnia. Therefore, she was fashionable and ignorant, and made a wish that she could make her grandfather no longer lose sleep, and as a result, she gave birth to such a mental image......
But this mental image is not the real reason for everyone to nod.
Compared to the first mental image that is still in the lower position, the other mental image that has been sublimated to the middle is the real reason why everyone nods.
She can make bread out of thin air that lasts for a week......
It is said that this was the mental image that she was born after entering Albert College. Because of this mentality, her mentor was ridiculed countless times by her colleagues and almost resigned.
As we all know, Albert Academy is an academy with the main purpose of training combatants, and countless unbelievable minds have been born in this academy. But even so, they really couldn't understand what kind of situation could make the students of their academy give birth to the image of making bread.
Even today, Miss Julie's mental image has been sublimated to a median level one step ahead of her other mental image, so that she can actually make bread that lasts for a week and has different flavors.
Bartlett really had to praise it. Sure enough, there is no chicken rib in this world, and taking this girl is equivalent to solving the problem of eating and sleeping at the same time.
Being able to guarantee adequate food and reasonable dormancy in such a wilderness is an absolute boon for all.
Therefore, this girl's status in the entire investigation team vaguely seems to surpass that of herself, the head of the group, and her grandfather......
After a long time, Master Clark finally came to his senses from studying the map. He straightened up, moving his slightly stiff neck, only to notice that two men were sitting in his tent.
"Julie, Captain Bartlett, why are you here?"
"Master Clark, I'm just here to make sure, is it really here?" asked Bartlett.
"Of course, who do you think I am?" Master Clark glared and blew his beard, as if dissatisfied with the other party's questioning of his professionalism.
"It's down in this place that there's a tunnel that leads to the epicenter underground!"
