Only then did you know from the front that the castle was composed of a huge building complex, occupying the top of the entire cliff and a small half-hillside, Li Qiumu followed Meng Tian through the huge garden and complicated buildings, and came to the main building closest to the top, which was the tallest and most magnificent main fort, flanked by six conical huge corner towers, the whole main fort was as high as 100 meters, the towers were staggered, a little disorganized, but it showed the beauty of order.

The two walked into a corner tower on the right, to Li Qiumu's surprise, the outside looks completely medieval style building, but the inside is perfectly inlaid with modern products, take the elevator next to the double spiral ladder to the highest 13th floor, the huge top floor 2 sides are full of bookshelves, the line of sight looks forward from a vacant aisle in the middle, behind a crimson desk, a man with silver hair stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the main fort reflected on the window, looking in the air, it shows the grandeur of the main fort.

"Leader, Anderson and Kagura are back, bring back this child" Meng Tian no longer had the previous frivolity and a serious face.

"Hehe, are you coming, Meng Tian, you go down first, I'll talk to this kid. The man known as the head of the regiment turned his head, revealing a face that was not old, his skin was not saggy, only some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his face lines were very soft, and his figure was not too tall, and his gentle smile reminded Li Qiumu of the uncle who gave him candy next door when he was a child, but now he is a Westerner when he stands here.

Meng Tianplease bent down, turned around and went out, the head of the regiment beckoned to Li Qiumu and beckoned him to the sofa on the right side of the desk.

"Shall you have a cup of tea?" said the head of the regiment, speaking fluent Chinese, picked up the teapot decorated with golden red stripes and poured a cup of black tea for each of the two of them, "I am the captain of the Knights of Gaia, Brandor Red, you can also call me the captain, young man, you are very courageous, and you actually came here without understanding." ”

"Well, my name is Li Qiumu, courage or something, I just think that people with that kind of power will not play intrigues and tricks on a little person like me. ”

"Haha, do you have some idea of what we picked you up for?"

"No, but it seems to be some kind of holy war angel, awakened, right?"

"I'll start with you, I hope you can accept it," Brando said, staring at the teacup in his hands, "Our earth is alive, and she represents the most primitive part of the human soul, the source of all souls, and the common composition of all living things on earth." ”

"You, you mean that the earth is alive?" Li Qiumu said in surprise.

"Well, so to speak," Brando nodded, "we believe that all power originates from the soul, and that we accept Gaia's gift and use it to protect Gaia, and that is the purpose of our Order's existence." ”

"You're protecting Gaia, does Gaia need humans to protect you?"

"Yes, there is not only life on Earth in the universe, there are many planets that have, or have had, and even planets that have long since died, and the souls of life on these dead planets do not immediately dissipate, but wander in the universe in the form of ghosts, and some will come to Earth by chance. ”

"They're going to be a hazard to Gaia, aren't they?"

"Yes" Brando glanced at Li Qiumu with encouraging eyes, and continued: "After the death of life, under the action of Gaia, the soul will gradually dissipate and decompose into particles, which we call the eighth type of particles, and then be absorbed by Gaia, when life is born, Gaia will give life a soul, so there are scattered eighth type particles everywhere on the earth, and ghosts will absorb the eighth type of particles and even the soul of life will continue to grow, and even erode Gaia. ”

"Your mission is to destroy these ghosts, right?

It all started 700 years ago, when a young knight stumbled upon a gem mine, and then, inspired by God, set the gem in his sword, destroyed the demon that devoured mankind, became a praised hero, and then established his own knighthood. After speaking, Brando looked at Li Qiumu with a smile.

Li Qiumu pursed his lips, "You mean this is the origin of the Gaia Knights? do you mean that you also want me to take the gem-encrusted weapon to kill the ghosts?"

"No, that's not the way we might give you to fight, 170 years ago, a senior awakened a young girl in the Holy Land, that is, in that gem mine, and this young girl made a contract with her senior, turned into wings and weapons, and fought side by side with her, because of that miraculous combat power, we call it the Angel of Holy War, and the knight who signed the contract is called Phantom Wing. After that, we were guided by Gaia to find the person who could awaken the Angel of Jihad, that is, Phantom Wing. ”

"You, you mean, I may be a phantom wing?" Li Qiumu's voice trembled slightly.

"Well, there's a good chance that Gaia led us to you. ”

"Wow, you can fly in the sky, isn't it invincible?" Li Qiumu looked fascinated.

"No, many of the Ghosts have the ability to fly and attack from a distance, and the current scientific air defense technology is very powerful, and several large organizations already have the technology of artificial wings. Brando said helplessly.

"Then what else do you want me to do, and how can there be other organizations?"

"Artificial wings can only provide the ability to fly, there is a big gap between the natural and holy war angels, but it is easier to obtain, as for other organizations, since the day the Knights were established, the dark war has not stopped, human beings' exploration of mysterious power is endless, those people's desire for soul power has never subsided, from us can't get it, we have tried all kinds of ways, 20 years ago, they have developed the technology of artificial soul gems, and, 4 years ago, they have developed the technology of artificial wings, I have to say that there are really many human geniuses, no matter how you kill them, you can't kill them all。 ”

"Killed??" Li Qiumu frowned.

"Of course, coveting the power of the soul is a great sin in itself, and if it weren't for the war later, Gaia might have thought that the overall strength of the human race would be safer for the earth, and we would have swept them away. Brando looked dismissive.

"War?"

"Well" Brando's face flashed with a trace of sadness, more solemnity and perseverance. "23 years ago, a small piece of Leo meteorite hit the earth and fell into the middle of the Pacific Ocean, followed by a group of extremely powerful ghosts, due to environmental problems, ordinary soldiers can hardly exert their combat effectiveness, can only rely on the holy war angels and phantom wings to fight bloodily, in the end, the 13 phantom wings of the knights fell 9, ordinary soldiers also suffered heavy losses, that is, because the situation was too bad at that time, the surrounding tigers, the remains of the holy war angels could not be completely recovered, artificial wing technology will be developed by them, these organizations are secretly haunted by the government, the regiment has been overstretched for many years, can only swallow this breath temporarily, but sooner or later this account will have to be settled with them. ”

"And how many phantoms do we have now?" Li Qiumu had been completely infected, and couldn't help but position himself as a member of the Knights.

"If you can be a phantom, there are seven. ”

"Why are there so few? Wasn't there 13 at that time?

"Well, the chance of phantoms appearing is getting smaller and smaller, maybe it's a problem with the earth's environment. Brando was helpless, and then stood up, "Having said so much, it's almost over, go, go to the Holy Land, boy, it's up to you whether you can be one of us or not." ”
