Chapter 134: Before the Examination (3)
On the high platform, Locke frowned and looked at the direction of the Four Realms Passage, from here you can already see the city wall on the periphery of the Four Realms Passage, as well as a dark purple vortex inside the city wall, like the devil's huge mouth, devouring countless lives, there, the legendary powerhouse may not live as long as an ordinary middle-level powerhouse, there, there is nothing more worthless than life, and the most terrifying thing is not death, but after death, he still can't sleep peacefully, and even is forced to attack his former companions. And yesterday, an urgent distress message came from inside the passage, almost all the legendary mages stationed in the Edge Fort went to support, and the only one left, Locke, his duty is not just to preside over the United Academy assessment, if the situation is urgent, the magic circle of the Edge Fort will be controlled by him, and he will become the first line of defense to prevent those demonic necromancers from invading the magic country.
"I hope everything is okay. Locke muttered and closed his eyes in some pain, if he could, he wanted to go to the front line to fight, but he himself knew that his combat effectiveness was not as good as Tesla and Benjamin, and his proud defense didn't play much role on that battlefield, so all he could do was wait.
"Mr. Locke?"
Locke opened his eyes, and in front of him was a somewhat fat man, who was looking at him with concern.
"It's Budah, I'm okay, are you all ready?" said Locke, rubbing his brow.
"Yes, everyone is assembled, except for the people of the Machine Nation. Bard said with a smirk.
"What's going on with those iron shells?" said the orc in a low voice, his fingers tapping impatiently on the handle of the axe.
"Hmph, I really take myself seriously, and I dare to be late for such a big thing. The elf looked at the rude orc in disgust, covered his nose in disgust, and said to Locke.
"Wine, ......wine," the dwarf said staggeringly, groping for something in his empty waist.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the elf narrowed his eyes and looked in a distant direction.
"What's that?" the elf asked, pointing to a black dot in the sky, originally everyone thought it should be a flock of birds or something, but they didn't expect the black dot to gradually enlarge, and it seemed to be approaching here.
"That's ...... Mountain?" said the orc, somewhat uncertain.
"Have you ever seen a mountain flying in the sky?" the elf said with a soft snort.
"What do you think it is?" said the orc, looking at the elf with wide eyes in disbelief.
"It looks a bit like a sphere ......" The dwarf didn't know when he had regained consciousness, at this time he stood on the railing of the high platform and looked at the approaching black dot, his expression was not a little uneasy, but a little excited, that thing was definitely a man-made thing, and it was a man-made thing with great power.
"Looks like that's the Flying Fortress of the Machine Nation, Aurora. Locke sighed, he was originally opposed to the Machine Nation sending this weapon into the magic realm, after all, this thing is so powerful, so powerful that even a demigod powerhouse would be uneasy. However, it is undeniable that at the moment when the legendary magicians are going to the front line to support, it is still particularly reassuring to have this thing in the magic country, if this thing floats above the edge of the fort, with the five-pointed star magic array of the magic association, the defense of the Four Realms Passage will be more impregnable, I believe that Master Merlin also had such considerations at the beginning before agreeing to the mechanical country to transport this thing in to assist in the defense, but Locke really didn't expect that thing to come in handy one day.
"Is that the fortress of the Machine Nation?" the elf looked at the black dot that was getting closer and closer, and he felt a slight tremor at this moment, something he had never felt since he became a legend. It was a feeling of invincibility, like facing a blizzard in the North or the endless waves of the sea, where the weak could only succumb, and it was impossible to resist.
"You let them bring this in? It seems that you humans are not much smarter than us orcs. The orc said in a daze, while subconsciously taking out his axe and making a slight gesture, and finally found that he had no place to put the axe at all.
"It's a magnificent fortress, and I'm glad the patriarch let me come, if only I could go inside and have a look, and I wish I could have a good chat with their blacksmith." The dwarf was the only one who seemed happy, and his eyes widened as he stared at the fortress, his eyes intoxicated, as if he were looking at some delicate work of art
"Hello, gentlemen. At this moment, a man in a black suit flew from the direction of the fortress, the man had a pair of steel wings buckled on his shoulders, and at this moment the two holes behind the wings were spraying blue flames, and the man must have been flying in the air by the flames that spewed out.
"Wilson, your shelves are quite big, what, do you want to give us a fight?" Locke said expressionlessly, although at this moment the edge fort does need combat power, but it is also necessary to figure out the purpose of their fortress here first, although the other party does not look like they are ready for battle, but with Locke's position, they still need to be prepared.
"No, it was Master Merlin who told us to drive the fortress over just in case, and since the fortress is about to be opened, of course we brought our students here by the way. Wilson didn't care about Locke's cold tone, just smiled, touched his short beard, and said elegantly.
"Teacher Merlin......" Locke sighed, when the fortress flew over, Locke probably guessed whose idea it was, although Merlin was his mentor, but he never really understood Merlin, although many of the actions seemed to be nonsense, but in the end they would prove him right, it was like ...... A real magician in general.
At this time, the space fortress has also stopped not far away, this fortress as a whole looks like a huge, mountain-sized round iron ball, the body surface seems to be surrounded by a piece of iron sheet, smooth and incomparable, the sun can even reflect the dazzling sunlight on it, but a closer look can see that the iron ball skin is composed of many irregular iron pieces, but these iron pieces are tightly fitted, at first glance it seems to be a one-piece formation.
"Kah. A loud metal crash sound came from the iron ball, and many of the startled assessment students involuntarily ran away, away from the terrible big iron ball, and only a few people did not move at all.
"Wow, what a big ball. The leader of the Igo family's team, a young man with a casual face, shouted excitedly at the big iron ball when he saw it.
"Hmph, something that doesn't fight for it. The leader of the Ryan family's team, the irascible young man, couldn't help but snort angrily when he saw the knights around him retreating in fright.
"The friends that the stinky boy found are okay. The leader of the Smith Kline family didn't even pay attention to the iron ball, but looked in the direction of Roland and his party, and saw that those people were unmoved and watched the iron ball approaching, and nodded in approval.
After a commotion, the team finally regained order, at this time, the big ball opened a hole, and many tightly wrapped close-fitting armor flew out of the hole in a neat array, and the leader was a light armor with black and red tones, which was a armor that Allen still remembers.
"Fit...... What the hell is that guy all about? Alan didn't show the psychological shadow of almost being killed, after all, as a party on the field, Alan knew very well that the armor must have something to do to act like this, it was not like a human would act, and the demeanor was full of a strong sense of disobedience. And after all, Alan didn't have killing intent towards Fett, so Fett's fierce counterattack seemed a little unreasonable. So Alan boldly guessed that it might be someone else who took over the mecha by remote control, or the self-defense function of the mecha or something, although he didn't know much about Fett, but Alan didn't think that the eldest lady was a brainless murderous person, and the people of the mechanical country killed the people of the magic country on the assessment field? That is not something that can be solved by apologizing.
"Hello everyone, I'm Fett Claudius, the princess of the Machine Nation, and I'm going to ask for your advice. The red-black light close-fitting mecha raised her hand and pressed her helmet, and then the helmet part was automatically retracted, revealing a curly blonde hair and a somewhat deep and beautiful face, she made a simple salute to the people who were looking at her, but her eyes were a little contemptuous, and the mecha group following behind also opened their helmets at the same time, revealing faces that were somewhat different from those of the Magic Country, they either whispered to each other, or looked at the people of the Magic Kingdom scrutinically, but obviously these people did not mean to greet the people of the Magic Country, and did not seem to take them seriously。
"Now, now that everyone is here, let's start moving towards the assessment area. Wilson gentlemanly saluted to the crowd on the stage, and then manipulated the mechanical wings to fly down from the high platform at high speed, leaving behind the legendary powerhouses who looked at each other with unspeakable bitterness. Of course, these speechless people do not include the dwarves who were about to chase Wilson down but were caught by Locke.
