Chapter 9: The Lord's Palace

In the base near the landing site, the people of the "Journey to the Underworld" and the "15th District" are also working overtime.

The location of the defense project in charge of Lias has been chosen, and he is to build guard towers and defensive positions on three high grounds, and take on the defense of the entire base.

Multi-legged all-terrain vehicles are also very good at mountain transportation, and the crew controls the transport vehicles to transport various materials, equipment, and weapons to the designated location, and then assemble them.

In the past six months, the "Journey to the Underworld" team has accumulated a lot of experience in engineering construction, and it is easy to build an armed guard tower or something.

Freya's "Greenhouse Farm" is also nearing completion, with large glass houses to keep the growing area warm and have enough light.

As for the Federation's general colonial command base, the amount of work is too large, and now Susie is just building a pedestal.

Soon the entire base was basically formed, and the whole base had living areas, planting areas, working areas, fixed fortifications, and patrol convoys for protection.

Everyone can be regarded as having a firm foothold here, and only wait for the completion of the Federation's general colonial command base, and the next instructions of the "Lord".

……

The "caravan's" journey continues, and the Lord's Mansion is their next target.

"Daniel, what do you think they mean by witches?" Fran asked Daniel at the front of the line.

Daniel was more honest: "Both Cauchy and Madame Handel said that the witch had the power to manipulate ice and fire, and even rocks could be torn apart by her......"

"To be honest, this doesn't look like something that a 'power' with a 'fragment of divine power' can do, perhaps...... She's just hiding some props? ”

Daniel's speculation makes sense, advanced science and technology sometimes have nothing to do with magic.

Just like the people who control the flames and carry the flamethrower, it can also be described by this word.

Fran pondered the possibility of this, and Cha Mo and Ovo also talked about it: "Owo, do you think witches can really do magic?" ”

Owo said disapprehantly, "What? Manipulate the flames, I can too, I can breathe fire...... As for smashing rocks, it's not that hard, not just me, Daniel can do it, right? What's so strange. ”

Cha Mo glanced at her: "You are a dragon, okay, can you compare with us ordinary humans?" "There are really big differences in attributes between different species.

Ovo suddenly said, "Then how do you know that the witch is not another creature?" I can become human, and so can 'them'! ”

As soon as she said this, everyone else was shocked, indeed, it seems that no one has ever thought about this issue.

That is, in the surface world, are there really only humans? Will there be other creatures coexisting with humans?

The demon that Cauchy kept screaming in his mouth was made up by humans? Or is it real?

Where does the power of witches come from? Could it really be given by the devil?

With such and such questions, everyone in the "caravan" fell silent, and only Owo, a heartless fellow, was still there enjoying the scenery along the way.

……

Tang Hao was also very concerned about this issue, and he repeatedly asked the base intelligence adjutant about the existence of supernatural powers and so-called demons.

However, the intelligent adjutant of the base said very rationally: "Your Excellency, everything in the world should be explained by science. ”

"The reason why we can't explain it now is just because our theoretical knowledge and science and technology have not reached that level."

"The machine believes that any so-called supernatural forces and paranormal phenomena have very strict explanations behind them, and they will not appear out of thin air."

Tang Hao looked at it with some surprise: "Eh, no, you said before that this is unscientific and that it is unscientific, why have you changed your temper now?" ”

The adjutant replied: "That's because after the backup database of the machine was successfully activated, the computing power and knowledge reserve of the machine have increased significantly, and the confusion of the machine before is now swept away. ”

"By the way, Your Excellency Commander, this machine remembers that you mentioned before that you want to teach the scientific knowledge of the 'Hades Journey' and spread the wisdom of human civilization, and now the backup database of this machine has been activated, and all the conditions have been met."

Tang Hao nodded and said, "Okay!" Midnight school was a really good idea, so I arranged for Mamba to do it. ”

"Not only science and technology, but also humanities, history, sociology, psychology and other subjects, as long as you have something in the database, you can take it out and teach it."

"The revival of human civilization begins in our small base!" Tang Hao said magnificently.

……

Lingqi Village is not far from the Lord's Mansion, only twenty kilometers, in order to avoid being too high-profile, the "caravan" maintains the same speed as normal people.

After walking for almost two hours on the country road, they saw a river, a real river.

In the forest world, everyone was already very surprised when they saw that lake, and now, a rushing river crossed in front of the "caravan", and the shock to everyone can be imagined.

The river is about twenty meters wide, with a stone-lined arch bridge on it, and across the river is a beautiful manor house.

Greenhouse farms of glass houses dot the fertile land along the riverbank, and beyond that, there is a magnificent castle, which should be the lord's palace.

When the "caravan" walked up to the bridge, they found two people guarding the bridge.

With a spear in his hand, he looked at them and asked, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? ”

Daniel stepped forward and said, "We are a caravan, coming from the east, and we heard that this is the residence of Lord Kathras, and we want to make some deals with Lord Kathras. ”

"Caravans?" The guard glanced at the five of them: "Not everyone can enter the Lord's Mansion, what are you selling caravans?" Take the goods out and take a look. ”

Daniel took the wine jug handed to him by Catherine, wine is also a rare thing in this world, at least the people in Lingqi Village say that they have only heard of it and have never seen it, and it should be regarded as a specialty.

"This is the grain wine that we have spent a lot of effort finding, and we invite Lord Catheras to taste it."

When the cork was opened, a fragrance wafted out, and both of the guards were shocked.

As people from the Lord's Palace, they naturally have a wide range of knowledge, and they have also come into contact with some alcohol, but it is the first time they have seen such a fragrant wine.

After some thought, the guards told them to wait on the bridge, and one of them picked up the flask and ran briskly towards the mansion across the river.
