Chapter 449: The Night of the Full Moon
Abner's use of Hewen, Zarathu and other vests to make various layouts against the "Fool" is actually an application of the authority of the "Wheel of Fortune".
By occupying the branch of the "River of Destiny" where Amon meets the "Fool" in advance, you can avoid a worse future in which Kryn is captured by Amon as in the original book.
If Amon knew that the "Wheel of Fortune" was deliberately targeting her, then the essence of her "mistake" could actually be cracked......
But she still doesn't know what the nature of the enemy she is facing is...... uniqueness of the "Wheel of Fortune" is hidden in the "unknown land", and it is not something that the current Amon can "decipher".
I have to say that Adam is really very trustworthy, saying that he doesn't support Amon, so he really didn't give any intelligence assistance.
"Isn't Emlyn being targeted?" When Crane heard that it was Zarathu, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
He was not worried about the safety of Mr. "Moon", after all, as a blood clan, and a priest of the Church of Mother Earth God, and now with the attention of the "Bound God", Zarathu did not dare to do anything to Emlyn easily, otherwise he would not use the "Moon Messenger" to tempt.
What he was really worried about was Melissa...... After all, his sister had been testing Gelman through Emlyn last week, and she was a little close to him, so she couldn't be noticed.
Abner naturally saw what he was really worried about, and smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Melissa and Benson will be fine." ”
After all, the so-called Zarathu is actually himself.
Hearing Mr. "Tower's" assurance, Crane couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...... The other party has a deep background and has been patronized by many gods, with his words, Melissa and Benson's safety should not be worried......
At least not in Beckland.
……
In the eastern waters of the Sunia Sea, the captain's room of the "Future".
"Queen of Stars" Gardelia looked at the fried mushrooms on the plate, smelled the pervasive fat fragrance, and didn't pick up the knife and fork for a long time.
Suddenly, she was inspired and looked sideways in the direction of the window, feeling as if she had just passed through a barrier.
At this moment, Captain Otolov came running and reported: "Captain, an island has suddenly appeared a nautical mile ahead, and there are many strange structures on it...... Is that our destination? ”
Island? Is there a barrier around that island, so it hasn't been discovered? But I vividly remember that the Future had passed through this area, the last time I boarded Mr. World......
Is it that this place is inherently special, or is it that the island has the ability to "move"?
As her thoughts turned, Gadelia immediately asked Otorov to convey the order to the fleet to halt its advance, while she herself pushed open the door to the captain's room and went to the deck.
She took off the pair of glasses Abner had given her, and lifted her hand to her brow.
In front of her, a pair of eyes that tended to be transparent, without eyelashes, cold and unforgiving.
As soon as he threw his hand, the "eyes" attached to a seabird that was flying towards the "island".
- This is the "Voyeur Eye", which Gardelia can put on other things after becoming a "Occultist" to extend her vision, and this ability is quite hidden and difficult to detect by other means.
With the help of the seabird's "eyes", Gardelia quickly saw the whole picture of the "island":
Metal-paved roads glisten in the sun's rays, and tall chimneys are scattered among the many whimsical buildings...... There are also gardens, workshops, churches, and many minarets of unknown use...... It's about half a baiam.
Maybe it's because of the layout, but when viewed from the sky, there is an inexplicable beauty.
"No...... That's not an island at all!
"I'm afraid this is a sea fortress!"
While Gadelia was surprised, the seabird suddenly dropped in height and landed straight out of the window of a building.
Immediately after, the window was pushed open, and a familiar female figure came into Cadria's eyes.
"Sure enough, Her Majesty!"
Although she guessed that the queen was here from the information revealed by Mr. "Tower", after really seeing the other party, she really let down all her guard and produced a feeling of down-to-earth comfort and relaxation.
Naturally, Gardelia saw the "Morning Star City" with the help of seabirds, and the city lost the "power" of the "Storm Divine Power" after flying away from the "Divine War Ruins Sea".
Although Abner left the "Book of Scourge" as a new power source, due to the huge mass of "Morning Star City", the consumption rate of "spirituality" when using this item is also amazingly fast, even if the three "alchemists" of Annick, Eleanor and Olmos take turns to take charge, they still can't afford it, and finally have to crash-land in the sea, disguised themselves as an island.
This result disappointed Klaus, another "alchemist" from Dawn of the Elements, who was in Floating City, but he had recently been obsessed with the "black technology" developed by Morning Star City for more than 200 years, and wanted to find a way to make the city fly forever.
On the other hand, seeing that the queen was in that sea fortress, Gadelia no longer hesitated, ordered the fleet to set sail again, and soon arrived at the temporary dock of the "island".
It can be seen that the plank roads made of metal were built not long ago, and the welds are new...... It's just that the metal material used is rusty, and it should have been dismantled from somewhere else......
This fortress is short of supplies...... No wonder so many ore raw materials are needed.
Gadelia glanced at the condition of the docks a few times, and had some guesses in her mind.
At this time, a handsome blonde young man came to the dock with a dozen "people" wearing heavy armor and welcomed the arrival of the "Future" and his party.
"I'm Annick, a member of the Council of 'Morning Star City', Your Excellency the 'Queen of Stars', and welcome to you." The blonde-haired Annick said quite politely.
He is no longer like the image of the "Robocop" before, but after knowing that he is about to come into contact with the humans outside, he made a "real skin" for himself, restoring the appearance before the "mechanical transformation" in the past.
The high-level officials of the "Morning Star City", who have lived for hundreds of years, know very well that in that dark world before, it was not a big problem to show people in a semi-mechanical form, but after coming to the light world, they must disguise themselves.
After all, humans always regard people who are different from themselves as "aliens", and if they don't disguise themselves, they may cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, due to the scarcity of raw materials, only a few high-level people have made real skin for their whole body, and the rest of the upper-class residents have only made a head at most, and their bodies are hidden in all kinds of heavy armor.
As for the more inhabitants of the middle and lower mountains, they are not allowed to appear in the upper layers except for being allowed to come out for one hour a day to feel the sun and the red moon, so there is no need to be "skin" for the time being.
However, although Annick's disguise was quite successful, Gadelia still saw the "unusualness" of the residents of "Morning Star City" from their "weight".
But she didn't debunk it, and planned to find out the situation here with the queen first.
Seeing that it would take some time to complete the unloading, Gardelia instructed her crew and went to the Central Tower, accompanied by Annick, where she soon met Bernadette, the "Queen of Mystery".
After the "alchemists" had exited the room, Gardelia asked with some confusion, "Do you know what this place is?" Why are the demigods so respectful to me? ”
Because you have the word "Queen" in your title, and in their perception, it seems that "Queen" is equivalent to "Emperor of Machines......
Bernadette exhaled a little depressed and answered only the first question of Gardelia:
"This is a 'floating city' that came out of the 'God's forsaken land'......
"And you've probably seen it...... In the dream of the sea to the east! ”
The floating city in the dream of that sea? Gadelia was stunned, although she was able to maintain a certain amount of lucidity in that dream, she did not have the ability to move freely, and basically sat on the reef, and could only see the bottom of the floating city......
……
At the same time, the "Pale Admiral" Maria also found Abner, who was in Beldan, and solemnly said:
"Tonight is the night of the full moon...... I'm on my way! ”
