White Tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEver since the soldiers of the patrol noticed a commotion in a restaurant not far away in the middle of the night last night, the entire White Tower has been in a strange atmosphere. A large number of formal alchemists who were usually stationed in the laboratory appeared in front of the eyes of ordinary people. There is also something unusual happening in the Warrior Association, and today there are 30% more food ordered from the neighborhood than usual.

On the hundredth floor of the White Tower, and one of the most stable integer floors of the White Tower, the unit that occupies it is the Royal General Hospital of Coronia.

A number of middle-aged and elderly people wearing six or seven concentric circles of the Tour de France on their chests were discussing something in a hospital room.

Someone who knows a lot about the Alchemists' Guild must be surprised to see this. Because these people are all powerful high-level members of the Alchemist Guild without exception. The badge they wore on their chests, and each concentric circle representing the magic ring level they mastered. Because of the innate restriction of four casting levels lower than ordinary mages, alchemists who have mastered the spells of the sixth and seventh rings are almost as rare as ordinary mages who have mastered the spells of the eighth and ninth rings. Such alchemists are not much stronger than ordinary alchemists, and they usually can't see their shadows at all, and they all shrink into their own world to conduct various alchemy experiments.

The top of these alchemists, gathered here today, is to perform a demanding alchemy of the human body for an ordinary knight - the reconstruction of the eyes.

The rebuilding of the eyes of an ordinary alchemist, which is extremely difficult, is just a relatively troublesome job for these top masters, except that it is more time-consuming, but not much difficulty.

At this time, a conversation was taking place in the hospital room.

"Sir Brownie. You can rest assured that after the treatment of several masters of the guild, your eyes will see again within a week. "It was a gray-haired, wrinkled old man who wore the same alchemist badge on his chest, but with eight concentric circles on it. This old man, who seems to be dying, is the most common of the three vice-presidents of the Alchemist Guild, the legendary alchemist who has mastered the magic of the Eight Rings, Sal Montaro.

Brownie, who was half-lying on the hospital bed and covering his eyes with a complicated device, thanked the alchemist with gratitude: "I am so flattered my lord. It is a ...... for me that you have come to visit me as a nobody in the midst of your busy schedule."

"Don't be nervous. The old man's tone was very gentle. "You have protected the Guild and the Kingdom's vital property from the hands of cultists and thieves while you have been tortured, and the entire Guild and the nation will remember your work. I'm here today mainly because I have some questions I want to ask you about. If you feel like you're physically fit to do so, please tell me as much detail as you can about what happened last night. ”

"Yes, sir. Yesterday was my second day on duty in the warehouse district. We ......" Brownie told very calmly, this tough guy who is not afraid of the torture of gouging out his eyes, is a very qualified storyteller.

"If what Sir Bronny said is true, then there must be a mole this time. And its status is high, with access to confidential documents of the royal family and guilds. Sal Montaro recounted what Sir Bronny had told the people in the same room, and then came to his conclusions. This meeting room is on the 200th floor of the White Tower, one of the floors that is never open to the public.

"The port district tax commissioner and his wife have been cleared of suspicion. Last night was indeed the birthday of the Administrator's wife, as many can testify. The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, wearing a dusty full-body armor and no helmet. He shook his head as he spoke, and his long, thick brown hair swayed with it.

But the cultists did take advantage of that. A gloomy old man answered. "I don't think he's fit to sit in that seat anymore. ”

"The problem now is that we have seventy or eighty dead, not a little tax commissioner. A fourth voice rang out in the room. It turned out to be a woman, and she didn't hear the voice very old. "We should retaliate now. ”

"We must retaliate. The mighty middle-aged man said categorically. "Otherwise, these rats hiding in the gutter will think that they can turn the sky upside down. ”

"We should be on guard first. The old man with a gloomy face spoke out against it. "In addition to the cultists, there were at least two people of unknown forces who appeared in the warehouse area last night. The guy who calls himself Horseson Bruce doesn't need to say anything. Just about the two girls who saved Brownie's life. They killed a Rotten Walker. This is something that many jazz can't do. And if Brownie heard me right, the battle took less than five minutes in total. These unidentified craftsmen arrived in Colombo before the harvest festival. I don't think our Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard will find anything out of the blue, right?"

Commander-in-Chief of the City Guards, the boss of the 30,000 armed guards in Colombo. Count Vantaa Grana, known for his bravery, was unheeded by the disagreements of his old rival, Jagni Neico, vice president of the Warriors' Association. Ever since he beat the old bald man's son in public at the jousting competition for the commander of the city guard, as long as it was something he supported, the old bald man would oppose it. He ignored the old bald man and turned his gaze directly to the fourth person, who was a very distinctive woman.

Twenty-year-old Valentina is a beauty with three-dimensional features like sculptures, and she looks like a sexy girl in many ancient sculptures in clothes. She has blue eyes and blue hair. This hair color is her calling card in the upper echelons of the royal capital. She is not a human born in Coronia at all, but a native human who grew up in a tundra plane called Serenti. Five years ago, Coronia's Void Fleet visited Serenti. The local human chieftain (Cerenti's social development was extremely backward), that is, Valentina's father, gave her at the age of fifteen, but already one meter eight or nine tall, and a warrior rank of sixteen, to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the highest ranking person in the Coronian fleet at that time, in exchange for a large amount of assistance. Since then, she has become the shadow of the eldest princess.

Celesti, where Valentina was born, is an unusually cold plane, and the humans who live there are generally tall, and Valentina is one of them, and her height of two meters and twenty-three gives her the privilege of looking down on most men. But when she sits at the conference table, you'll even think it's a pretty ordinary beautiful girl. This is because her upper body looks very slim and shapely. It's only when she stands up that you'll find out that this is a tall person you have to look up to because of her amazingly long legs of one and a half meters.

If Esther was here, then he could tell at once that Valentina was the woman who was chanting in the box of Valentino Palace. Her voice is so delicate that it makes every man who hears it think about it. But her strength made almost all the men in the royal capital feel desperate. She is a legend and the most recent person in the royal capital to become a legend. Two years ago, at the age of eighteen, she killed a gold hunter on her own. This means that she officially has the ability to hunt legends. And her legendary realm is also the terrible tundra hunt. After becoming a legend, Valentina officially became the captain of the eldest princess's guard, and also became the agent of the will of the eldest princess, who did not often deal with the high-level of Colombo.

"Retaliation must take place, and immediately, now, immediately. Valentina spoke coldly in a delicate voice. "Even if we turn Colombo upside down this time, we will destroy the potential power of the Green Cross in Colombo. The Royal Void Fleet has already stationed a hundred marines in Columburg, ready to be dispatched at any time. ”

Valentina's blue eyes stared at Jagger, as if the old bald man would immediately fight if he dared to disagree.

"The city guard can move up to 3,000 men and at the same time block the main underground area of Colombo. The Count of Vantaa immediately said he would give it his all.

"Twenty Masters (with five rings of magic ability) that the guild will dispatch. "'Powerful' Sal Montaro expresses the attitude of the Alchemy Guild. "And mobilize one hundred and fifty full members and three times as many apprentices. The gray-haired old man then expressed his opinion. "I don't think this emergency revenge will meet the expectations of completely eradicating the Green Cross, but in order to combat the undeserved attitude of these monsters towards the Source Energy Crystal, I will personally lead the team to sweep up. ”

Seeing the statements of the other three, Jagger also had to put aside his personal enmity with Vantaa and express his opinion on behalf of the Warriors Association. "The association has gathered more than thirty high-ranking fighters. And began to organize a large number of scouts to scout the underground area. If a raid date is decided, we can also call in a large number of men on an ad hoc basis. Now that the finals of the Coronia Free Martial Arts Tournament are just around the corner, there are a large number of out-of-town fighters nearby. ”

"I'm going to do it myself. Valentina saw that the decision to retaliate immediately was supported by everyone, and immediately dropped a bombshell. "I'm going to lead the Void Marines into the sweep. ”

"These are the two legends. Jagger was shocked. "Green Cross is in big trouble this time. They were able to provoke both the Void Fleet and the Alchemy Guild at the same time. ”

"So let's talk about the steps of this sweep of the underground area. "The Count of Vantaa came from a military background and was accustomed to drawing up a detailed plan of action before acting.

"My plan is simple. Valentina spoke first. "Starting tomorrow, in the name of repairing and renovating every sewer exit in Colombo, block every exit, and at the same time send a small elite force to search every pipe during the day. The large army blocked the main road in the central part of the sewers, built defenses, and prepared for long-term defense. During the night, the small forces ceased to move and retreated to the area where the large forces were located. Step by step, the space for the cultists' activities is reduced. All useless pipes found were destroyed with alchemy bombs. ”

"Well, Colombo has been built for more than 5,000 years, and the sewers built at different times are intricate. In particular, the sewers built before the Dark Ages were not only deep, but all the drawings were lost in the chaos of the Dark Ages. As far as I know, many of the ancient sewers also connected to large underground cave complexes and dark river systems. Add to that the fact that many mad alchemists like to throw failed works into the ground, and it has become something of nowhere, for thousands of years. Sal Montaro was clearly not optimistic about Valentina's approach. "I think we should arrange an elite team to draw a detailed map first. Only then can personnel be sent into the underground area on a large scale. The cultist's lair will certainly not be in the newly constructed sewers on the surface. Our final battle will surely take place in the underground areas connected by the ancient sewers. ”

"You have a point. The Count of Vantaa gave his final opinion, after all, he was the most popular. "We first clear the surface layer and then slowly look for a downward path. This time I'm going to be prepared on the surface so that not a single rat gets to the ground. ”

"This time, it will not be a short period of retaliation, but a three-month rolling repeated sweep. "Valentina expressed her determination," said Her Highness the Eldest Princess, who said that the Void Fleet would not leave Coronia for the next three months until the Green Cross cult in Colombo was completely wiped out. She thumped the table hard. "It's all cleaned up. ”
