(Text updated in the early morning)

After Kane mastered the corresponding emotional judgment parameters, combined with the punishment method, he quickly pried Quinta open his mouth.

However, Quinta is just a peripheral who can be sent away for a small amount of money, and he is not even a real horse boy, but the kind of gangster who takes on all kinds of random jobs.

Therefore, the quality and quantity of information that can be provided are very limited, and Kane does not dare to trust it, lest there be a trap in it.

Luckily, there's at least one clue to advance, and that's finding Brother Jamie, who gave Quinta the mission.

Kane was also efficient, and when he appeared in front of Jamie, it was less than half an hour after Quinta called Jamie.

Jamie is a kind-looking old black man, with loose skin and gray hair, who runs a grocery store that doesn't look good, the store is not large, and there are not many goods, a considerable part of which are second-hand, scattered and scattered, and a little bit just trying to make a little money for retirement.

However, experience has taught Kane that the groceries sold in this shop are only superficial, and the sale of stolen goods is the real money-making business.

was approached by Kane, Jamie was very calm, and did not pretend not to know or know, but looked fearless, sat lazily in the chair, took a sip of crimson medicinal wine with a small glass, and said: "Mr. Fox is worthy of being an elite investigator, he came so fast, do you want to talk about Lana?" ”

Kane nodded, "Yes, we have to talk." I've heard that Brother Jamie takes care of his own people, and Quinta is your person, right? ”

"Hahaha!" Jamie seemed to hear a very funny joke, and laughed back and forth, laughing as he said, "You are the best bargain businessman I have ever met." ”

Kane didn't seem to notice the teasing meaning in Jamie's words, and continued to bargain seriously: "So, I have to add some other conditions as a bargaining chip?"

Jamie's face straightened, put down the wine glass, and said very toughly: "No, that kid at Quinta, you can't be a bargaining chip at all, beat him up or send him to prison, Mr. Fox is at will." ”

Kane nodded, "I see, although the answer you gave was not what I wanted, it turns out that I was not wrong beforehand. ”

Jamie is also a human spirit, and when he heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his left hand touched the bottom of the chair from the side, and his right hand picked up the wine bottle on the small coffee table next to the chair, like Kane smashed it.

However, Kane was obviously faster, and when the words fell, the man had already started to rush forward, and when Jamie threw out the bottle, Kane took a sharp slid step, flashed to Jamie's side, pressed Jamie's left shoulder with one hand, and pinched his neck from behind him with the other, and lifted him up like a chicken.

It's just that this time, Jamie is like a seven-inch snake that has been held, there is no back move, his arms and legs are drooping, as if he has broken his big tendons.

"I'm more used to talking like this to your kind of person. ”

As Kane spoke, he grabbed the skin of Jamie's neck and chest junction with the hand that pressed Jamie's left shoulder before, and saw that the skin was like a thick layer of felt, and it was picked up by Kane, and then torn with force.

As a result, it was like tearing blistered wallpaper from the wall, and Jamie's skin, along with his clothes, was all ripped off by Kane.

However, this operation, which should have been extremely bloody, was much less effective in practice. After the skin was thoroughly removed, Jamie did not reveal bloody muscle fibers and epithelial ligaments, but black and red muscles.

This muscular meat is like dried meat with sauce, although it is slimy, it still does not prevent it from showing its own shriveled lack of moisture and the characteristics of not being fresh.

It gives people the feeling that the skin bag that was ripped off by Kane is half-worn and half-glued.

In fact, this skin is really Jamie's, but Jamie's skin can be treated like a leather coat, of course, the specific maintenance method is definitely not just a set of leather clothing maintenance, but more complex, and involves extraordinary fields.

A voodoo who has lived for hundreds of years by 'raising skins', this is Jamie's true identity.

Walking through the difficult howling corridor, your eyes suddenly become brighter, but it is by no means invigorating.

The Gobi Desert, gravel wilderness, no trees at all, even thorny plants are scarce, the sky is chaotic and the clouds flow and roll, fast as a galloping horse, but never endless, the sunlight can only reveal a brief moment from the occasional gap, look at the ground, the light of the sun and the shadow of the clouds, forming an irregular vein-like light wave flow that is easier to see on the sand and gravel surface of the river bottom projected by the sun, creating a strange and alternative atmosphere together with the wind.

When any life is faced with such a landscape, it cannot help but feel that this is a forbidden place for life.

Then the knights saw the Eye of Karlok Shash, which was shining even in the daytime, under the dark clouds, at the end of the horizon.

The reason why the Church of the Silver Flame was willing to send a knight order here was mainly for it, which was an irrefutable miracle, and the Fountain of the Holy Flame of the Great Church of the Silver Flame was dwarfed by it.

Hilma Rahzan, the senior priest who accompanied the team, confirmed, "It is indeed a silver flame, majestic and incomparable, like the light of the sun, which is the characteristic of the eye of true vision for eleventh level spells. ”

In the world of Dungeons & Dragons, mortal spells reach their peak at level 9, level 10 is legendary spells, and of course, the most famous is the level 12 spell Casal Sealing Magic, which surpassed the legendary Grand Arcanist Casal to kill the first goddess of magic in the world of Feren.

Spurring his horses and wheels rolling, the cavalry headed in the direction of what the Church of the Silver Flame called the Eye of Light.

Two days later, the Great Hideous Fortress began to reveal itself in the gravel wilderness.

Its majesty lies not only in itself, but also in the contrast of its surroundings.

If it is in the shadow of the cliff area where the cliffs of ten thousand people rise, it is nothing in height and volume, but here is the wilderness, the common gravel, the largest is only the height of the person, a few meters in diameter, under such a background, the big hideous fortress looks super majestic.

"Where did the creator get the massive boulder to build such a behemoth?" Graveson couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that the creator has the skill of turning earth into stone, this kind of stone is different from the real sense of the rock, they are stronger than steel, and can also absorb magical energy to a considerable extent, further strengthened, the more years pass, the stronger it becomes. Gadot Elson, an investigator who was part of the Fort Collanburg Library, said the accompanying investigator.

The Fort Collanburg Library is an organization, and the Ombudsman is a profession unique to the world of Abbron, who is particularly adept at solving mysteries.

Investigator is an advanced profession, and at the same time has a specific scope of work, Elson belongs to the outside work, has some characteristics of an explorer, and is more capable than an internal investigator.

A Level 7 Wanderer, a Level 5 Ranger, and a Level 4 Investigator, Gadot's total level is as high as 16, and he is already among the first-class powerhouses of mortal creatures.

The Library of Fort Collanburg takes the Creator Clan very seriously, which is why they did not hesitate to ask for a seat of participation from the Church of the Silver Flame and sent her here.

Graveson and Sylma also wanted to meet the Creator, and although they were both members of the Church, they had different starting points, Graveson was military-oriented, and Sylma was religious-oriented.

The Knights were welcomed by the Gaskara tribe and welcomed into the city by the tribe's newly added sand lizard cavalry.

Gaskara has always had a tradition of raising giant sand lizards for their samuts, as did the Haroun tribe, or rather, most of the intelligent creatures living in the Demonic Wasteland.

It's just that in the past, the conditions did not allow it, and Gaskara mainly guarded the entrances and exits of the valleys and patrolled the valleys, unlike the Haroun tribe who lived a hunting and nomadic life, so the number of domestication was limited.

Now with the logistics system provided by Kane, raising sand lizards is a matter of course, so the paladins formed the tribe's first Shashgo Knights to ride on sand lizards.

Paladins are good at using a variety of weapons, can make better use of armor, and most of them are also trained to ride, and as church knights, they are still qualified.

The Silver Flame Knights also had to admit that their turtle brothers had improved the entire system under the premise of guaranteed hardware, and their performance in all aspects was not much worse than theirs.

Of course, the Silver Flame Knights still have something to teach the Gaskara tribe, such as military knowledge, riding skills, combo techniques, and combat skills, and the skills used by the members of the Gaskara tribe are still too rough.

For the sake of the same faith, the warriors of the Gaskara tribe were quite able to accept the Silver Flame Knights, but they also didn't look down on each other very much, thinking that most of them were little white faces with fists and embroidered legs.

The misunderstandings between the two sides have obviously subsided with this exchange, and in general, it is the Silver Flame Knights who are more shocked, and the skills honed by the Gaskara warriors are indeed more practical, and their group cooperation is also very good.

In contrast, the Battle Formation Skills of the Silver Flame Knights are more used against enemies who are numerous, not much different, or even generally inferior. This Gaskara is generally not used.

They rarely engage in large-scale battles with the Harron tribe, and the most common enemies that need to be dealt with by all personnel are often the kind of powerful boss monsters, but the Silver Flame Knight has not achieved much in this regard, and is not even as good as the Gaskara tribe.

To put it bluntly, the Silver Flame Knights are accustomed to winning by defeating the weak, while the Gaskara tribe is always the weaker side in the fight, adept at fighting in unfavorable situations, even in desperate circumstances. It wasn't until the Green Umbrella Group stepped in that the situation changed.

Now the changes in Gaskara have been widely spread in the Demon Wasteland, the Harion tribe once organized an attack on Gasda, and ran away halfway through, mainly because the Gaskara tribe also lacked the experience of using the city fortress to fight, and prematurely showed up the heavy firepower of the defense, although the people of the Harion tribe were bloodthirsty and perverted, they were not lacking in hearts.

The more lively fight was the attack of the Sand Master against a fang-fort.

The sneak attack turned into a strong attack, the strong attack became a strong attack, and the attack became a gamble, and in the end, most of the people in the fangs fort were killed, but the price paid by the sand lord side was also shocking, the exchange ratio was almost 1:2, the sand lord used to be 1 for 7 or even 1 for 10, and finally, in the case of reinforcements from the Gaskara tribe arriving, the sand owners could only retreat unhappily, and finally failed to take the fangs.

Watching and helping each other, this can be regarded as a new change that Kane has brought to the Gaskara tribe.

In the past, they only had this heart, but they basically didn't have this power.

Kane is too lazy to complain about this kind of inadequacy of troops and the division of troops to garrison a vast area, and every time he takes his face and his life to the top.

After his team provided them with steam-powered airships, both Gasda and Makruda were equipped to support the Fangs Fortress in their respective jurisdictions. The Fangs Fort is alerted by magical fireworks.

When Hilma, Mark, and Gadot ask Susa and Tokarn about the Creator, Susa reveals that the Creator does not live in the Great Hideous Keep.

"Why?" said Hilma, "I've heard that you have a good relationship with the Creator. ”

"His Highness Kane thinks that he is here to influence the development of Gaskara, and he thinks it is better to minimize this influence as much as possible and let us find out and solve problems on our own. ”

Mark Graveson interjected: "I've been observing it for the past few days, and I've found out that those flesh golems don't answer any questions about anything other than providing technical instruction and professional services, and they never leave the facility. ”

Susa said to Hilma, "I need to talk to you about the Creator alone. ”

Later, Hilma learned from Susa what Kane had asked before he made a deal with the Gaskara tribe.

As the secular mentor of the Silver Flame Guardian of the Silver Flame Church (equivalent to a saint, not an Indian saint), Gila Delan (who became a guardian at the age of 11, within the boundaries of Silver Flame Castle, equivalent to a level 18 priest), Hilma's cultural background is much higher than Susa's, and she tastes more from what Ethan said at the beginning.

She said to Susa, "This is indeed a highness, and his question is not from an extraordinary perspective, but a perspective that is thorough, above the population, and measured by the length of a hundred thousand years. Unfortunately, your answer at the time did not satisfy him. ”

Susa sighed, "We didn't know at the time that His Highness Ryan was an existence of that level. ”

Hilma said gently, "I'm not complaining about anything, just regretting. The overall situation at the moment is not good at all, and we need strong allies. For this purpose, Hilma and Mark went to see the creator on this day, and Gadot came with her, but she was asked to be an observer only, and no speech was allowed, because this was a meeting between the Silver Flame Church and the creator, and Hilma hoped that the creator would make a good impression.

About 100 kilometers southwest of Malukda, there is a place called White Sands.

There is a legend that this is a piece of land purified by a feathered serpent, and there is also a legend that it is a cursed land, in short, there must be something strange here, otherwise why is it always cloudless and white sand?

Hilma and the others were also fortunate enough to witness the celestial wonders of the White Sand Plain, whether it was white clouds or dark clouds, all on the horizon, and the top of the White Sand Plain was always blue.

This blue is usually only seen in the depths of the desert, and the beautiful color is impressive.

White sand is also rare, it is not visually misleading in the environmental background, but it is really white grains of sand, not pure white, but grayish-white.

It was in this white desert that the Green Umbrella Group built a complex of buildings characteristic of ancient Egyptian temples.

This is a play of surplus capacity after the construction of facilities for the Gaskara tribe. After that, more than 10,000 weavers of the construction engineering corps were pulled out and sealed together with the construction equipment to prevent awakening.

The architecture of ancient Egypt is naturally majestic, the key is that it is rich in culture and goes well with the desert environment, especially Ethan's choice of dark gold as the main background color of the entire complex.

With such a color and a certain amount of distressed treatment, the senses are very long-lasting precipitation.

Graveson also asked Sylma about this: "This is ...... Temple Ruins?"

It was only through the priest's magic that Shima knew that this place was not ancient.

Gadot said: "The creator's creations are full of the precipitation of time and the beauty of art, whether it is the architecture here or the fortress built for Gaskara, they all have strong cultural characteristics. ”

"Well, there must be a civilization behind the creators, and it is likely that there is more than one civilization, and it is difficult to estimate what changes their arrival will bring to this world. ”

Graveson frowned, "Didn't you say that you are a believer in the Radiant Avenue?" The half-dreamers have a good relationship with us, although their way of thinking is a little weird, but they obviously hate the morally corrupt. ”

Sylma explained, "Most of the half-dreamers are orderly and kind, but the Radiant Avenue is orderly and neutral. This means that the creators do not necessarily share our values and the universal morality of the Kovaré continent.

Gadot smiled and didn't say much. In her opinion, Graveson's thinking is still too narrow, or that most of the Church knights have such characteristics.

Named Karnak by Kane, it is not actually a faithful representation of the Karnak Temple, but also has elements of other temples such as Abu Simbel, Hatshepsut, Namtis, Derbaikhli, Philae, etc.

It can be said that this Karnak is the condensation of ancient Egyptian civilization in terms of architecture, but there are no pyramids, and a real pyramid needs a lot of astronomical data to assist, and Kane is not interested in building a pyramid that has nothing to offer.

The whole complex covers an area of 2 square kilometers and is square in shape, it is built on a stone platform more than 30 meters high, and the circumference of this base is 6 kilometers, and on the stone wall is a magnificent relief group of pictures, which recounts all the major events of ancient Egypt until its demise.

At the foot of the entrance steps, Hilma and the others met the guards of Karnak, dressed in an ancient Egyptian style, with a bronzed body and a beautiful golden falcon helmet and jackal helmet.

Falcon and jackal, these are the two most representative animals of ancient Egyptian culture, others, cats, crocodiles, vultures, etc. are not as distinctive as the two, and the meaning is profound.

Soon after learning of their intentions, the group was taken directly to Kane's place to perform martial arts.
