Step into the restaurant and you'll be greeted by the enticing aroma of the food.

(What should I eat?...... The wide variety of meals in the format lifted Angrus's spirits, and he suddenly felt hungrier, (...... Yesterday, I only ate a few supply granules to deal with it, what a loss. ）

Fried golden chicken thighs, crispy beef, and tempting red sausages...... As a "carnivore", Angelus's index finger moved, and in a moment the plate was filled with all kinds of meat.

"Uh-huh...... he nodded in satisfaction, picked up a large glass of fresh orange juice, and turned to find a seat.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

In the huge restaurant, most of the seats are empty. Anglous, however, walked to the corner of the dining room with a plate in hand, an old gentleman who was dining alone.

"No, no. Please feel free to ......"

"Thank you."

Angelus nodded in acknowledgement, then put down his plate and enjoyed.

“…… Good appetite. Youngster. The old gentleman slowly stirred the black tea and spoke quietly.

"Yes. It's rare to have the opportunity to eat such a luxurious meal, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't eat more. Angelus wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, then took a large steak and took a bite into it.

"Oh, oh. What an energetic young man. ”

"Well, I've always had a good appetite. Hmm, hmm...... May you ask who you are? ”

"Hehe......" The old gentleman took a sip of black tea and took a sip gently, "Young man, before asking for someone's name, shouldn't you be polite to report your own name?" ”

“…… Safir, Safir Angrus. ”

An invisible wave streaked through the air. After that moment, the cacophony of surrounding sounds faded away.

"Salute to you, young Baia......" the old gentleman's monolithic eyes reflected inorganic light, "below is ......"

"Krom Balanche. The Security Council sent a special representative to inspect Rocky, the capital of fire. The corners of Angelus's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer full of mockery, "Can you explain?" Commissioner of Balanche. Why is Your Excellency here? And...... And why your Excellency is lucky enough to be here aboard the air thief's floating ship. ”

"Young people nowadays are really getting more and more impolite. Doesn't it feel rude to ask an elderly man like this? ”

"Is it necessary to be polite to you? To the deceased of Iselsa, any politeness is superfluous! ”

"Heh, hehe......" Balanxie held up the black tea and laughed dryly, "...... For the sake of the future and the transaction between us, let's dive a secret as an apology. What do you think? Laxis's Contractor ......"

Angelus's hand shook, and the steak that was about to be brought to his mouth paused.

Balanxie sipped the black tea lightly and smiled slightly: "You will definitely be interested in secrets." However, in order to arouse Angelus's curiosity, he deliberately sold Guanzi.

“…… Oh, yes. Let's talk about it. Angelus nodded unknowingly, the expression on his face still cold.

“…… Hey, hey. Don't be so scary...... Alas, I said that's it......"

The expression on Balanche's face belongs to a typical "cheap and good-behaved". He picked up the teapot, filled it for himself, and spoke slowly again.

"Young Baia, have you ever thought about a question. Why did Tsatiri have to rely on the contract between the elf and the master to construct a relatively stable Vidamir sequence? If it is free from the constraints of the contract, what will happen to the Vidamir sequence? ”

“…… No, never. Angrus grimaced, "Vidamir's law is attached to the law of Tsatiri, which is the most basic common sense of magic technology. Who would have questions about basic common sense? ”

"Yes! Of course. The following is one of them. Balanche reveals the usual seriousness of a scholar's preaching, "The source of knowledge is these seemingly simple 'whys'. Young man, have you ever wondered why the 'Shoshi' and 'Heavenly Knights', who now dominate the battlefield, can gallop so comfortably in the firmament? Don't you feel that the existence of goblins is itself a complex of contradictions? ”

"What do you mean...... Vidamir's Law, built under the Law of Tsatiri, is too far ahead of its time? ”

"That's right. In academia, this kind of imagination is called 'existential error'. The biotechnology and magic technology that construct the existence of the goblins, as well as the corresponding 'conceptual armament', are all far ahead of the current world's scientific and technological level. Nowadays, the magic technology is developing rapidly, and all kinds of new and emerging technologies are gradually becoming proficient. However, regardless of the technology, once the 'contract' at the heart of Tsatiri's law is detached, any conceptualized object will be reduced to dust within ten hours. ”

"Existential error......" Angrus muttered softly.

"Yes. The goblins themselves are this 'existential error'! A large amount of historical information has been investigated for this purpose below. Hope to find the first fairy breeder. However, the results are very regrettable. No matter how rapid a technology advances, there will be a gradual process, but goblins don't. It was like it came out of nowhere. No one knows where they came from or why...... So, a hypothesis was made below. A hypothesis similar to the 'Fitz Ruins'. ”

"Hypothetical?"

"That's right, let's say. It can also be called 'black technology'. The theory of dimensional protection unearthed from the 'Fitz Ruins' can be called 'black technology'. The research and application of this 'black technology' has increased the output efficiency of energy defense by nearly six times in less than three months. If it is assumed that the fairy technology was also excavated from some ruin, then all of it can be explained. ”

"You mean, the core technology of Vidamir's law is also like the theory of dimensional protection, which comes from ancient civilizations? What about the original elves? It doesn't take a month or two to raise a goblin. ”

Balanxie looked at him with delight: "You're right. But not long ago, I stumbled upon a piece of evidence. As he spoke, he pulled out a palm-sized piece of golden metal. Look. ”

Angelus hesitated slightly, but leaned in.

“…… At the bottom of the day, it is a gift from the 'Goddess of Bad Luck', three young people who pursue their dreams and their companions embark on the path of truth-seeking: Clo ho La h sis A ro os...... What does this mean? ”

Due to the age, many of the old words on the metal plates have been blurred.

"Gu Zaixia is researching, it should be the partner of the 'three young people'. That is, the existence that is now called 'goblin'. ”

"What?" Angelus was slightly taken aback, "This should be written on it...... It must be a narrative poem. What age? ”

Balanxie shook his head slowly: "The exact time is impossible to verify. It's just a replica. ”

"Replicas? No way. Although I don't know much about antiques, this piece of metal is hundreds of years old. ”

"Uh......" Angelus's words made Balanche's chest tighten. He held a monocle in his right eye, and drank three sips of tea in a row to stabilize his mood again, "Young man...... Although I also know that archaeology is not your specialty, ......"

"What's wrong?"

"This piece of metal comes from the lowest seal of the 'Fitz Ruins'. And the abandonment of the 'Fitz Ruins' dates back more than 2,000 years to the B.C......."

"Uh......" was at least a single digit less, and Angelus' smile looked a little crampy no matter how you looked at it.

"Okay, after all this gossip, let's get back to the point. Young Baia, how much do you know about 'Higgrune'? Do you know anything about her past? ”

"Know a little. Sigruen' is a goblin once known as the strongest Celestial Knight of Glahide. ”

"Yes, you're right. ' 'Hictrune' is the elf of Graheid. Balanche had a "I knew you would answer like this", "If my guesses and inferences are correct...... 'Higgrune' should not be 'elf', but 'transforming humanity'. ”

"'Transforming humanity'?"

"Documents from the excavations of the Fitz ruins speak of an enhancement technique. However, the document is not very detailed, it should only be a general professional report, and the various technologies are simply mentioned by name, and there is no specific development. However, according to this report, it can be concluded that this augmentation technology is a biomodification technology based on the early embryos of young human children, with 'Starfall' as the core. At the end of the document, the author specifically mentions the term 'goblin'. The speculation under this comes from this. The vast majority of the Ancient Wings may have been the result of this technology. ”

Angrus was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Just speculation, you expect me to believe that 'Higgrune' is an ancient wing, and it is also a monster transformed by ordinary people?" ”

“…… No. What I want to tell you is that "unconsciously, Balanche's tone has changed," "The 'goblin' occupies a very important place in the various documents of the ancient civilization. At least half of the ancient texts I've read mention 'they'. The remaining half is an insinuating reference to the technology. And...... Moreover, many people who have been in close contact with 'goblins' in ancient times will be assimilated unconsciously...... 'Higrune' also has the extended meaning of 'Valkyrie' in the language of ancient civilizations, that is......"

- Assimilation!

In an instant, everything around seemed to be quietly gone, and the heartbeat was deafening like thunder.

- Well, so am I......

Something hidden deep inside seems to have awakened. "She" secretly revealed her true nature and quietly looked out.

“…… Feed! Feed! What happened to you? Feed! ”

Angelus came to his senses in an instant. In a short moment, the back was drenched in sweat.

“…… Nothing ......."

Angelus forced a slight smile.

"Really? Forget it......" Balanche shook his head slightly, he could clearly see what Angrus was hiding. But Balanxie didn't care, "Let me tell you one more thing...... The people you've been looking for, they're all in Valhasa......"

Balanche got up and patted Angelus on the shoulder, then turned and left the restaurant.

Behind him, a petrified Angelus sat motionless in his chair, staring at the plate in front of him.
