Chapter 2 Sedrov River Reserve

In 2307, the northwest frontier of the Duchy of Lorraine.

The rat was curled up in a small hole in the tree and had begun to doze off.

But the moon has just risen.

Strictly speaking, it is not a rise, but it is already hanging high in the starry sky. During the day, it is obscured by the sun's dazzling rays, and at night...... On a gentle night, the moon reveals its delicate, warm faces.

There are three moons surrounding the blue planet, which are called the silver Goddess Civita, the pink Goddess Ephros, and the pale blue Goddess Moon.

Only Civita and Ephros are here tonight...... It's surprisingly quiet, but if you listen closely, you'll hear a lot of lovely whispers from the jungle. Every time the little light worm's small wings shake, it will make a small "ding, ding, ding", and when they do not replenish enough body fluids during the day, they will become "puff". Fat baby bobcats rustle when they step on leaves, and even if they try to hide it, it is useless. The rats were already snoring. The evening breeze is just a rustling sound, as if singing a lullaby to the cute little creatures.

It's so gentle and quiet all year round, because it's located in the heart of a 400-kilometre-wide uninhabited forest between the Duchy of Lorraine and the Duchy of Slemy. The two countries are separated by a long river called the Sedrov River. Both sides of the river are covered with all kinds of precious trees, which extend to the territory of the two countries, and even occupy 1/4 of the territory of the Duchy of Lorraine.

Fifty years ago, the Duchy of Lorraine and the Empire of St. Femonos enacted the Law on the Protection of the Sedrov River, which also included a bill for the protection of the green forests on both banks. Since then, the reserve has rarely been set foot in, and no one has ever thought of developing the territory.

"The goodness of human civilization lies in how it respects life."

That was the loudest slogan of that legislative session.

The moonlight shone through the leaves on the sleeping face of the fruit mouse, and the small nose and beard moved...... Everything in this land seems to have become the understanding of civilization for St. Femonos and its vassals.

The moonlight cast on the leaves shimmered. If you look up, you will see that there are several black dots on the moon that are moving unhurriedly. In fact, they were just a few carriers that were not very far from the ground. It was a powerhouse inlaid with green stone called a locomotive, and it was the most used means of transportation of this era.

Among them were several small military Qinghui stone tool trucks, all carrying people. Another one was on the large side, 10 meters long, and it was obvious that it was carrying something very heavy. In a few moments, the group of cars flew over the head of the Saidrov River.

On one of the small delivery vehicles, someone was scanning the woodland below with a camera. Strictly speaking, it was not an ordinary camera, but an infrared thermal imaging mirror inlaid with blue jade. The man was scanning the larger target below, and with the help of the magic of the blue jade, he was able to see a sizable forest in a few glances.

"Hey Luo Ding, I said, why are you still holding that old antique?" A woman next to him snatched the instrument from his hand and looked at it herself: "What else can you see in this tattered thing?" ”

"What a broken thing, let me tell you, if this thing is broken, you can't afford to work for the country for the rest of your life...... As soon as I heard you talk like that, you know that you are an idiot with a head full of mush. Open up the pattern a little, don't wake up all day long, eat and sleep and don't know anything, just will drag your teammates back. ”

"Ahh If you can't speak well, don't talk about it, you look like a little trumpet. If it weren't for the mission, the old lady would give you a kick out! Feed a stinky salted fish to the tiger brothers below! The woman said, "Besides, what kind of high-end thing is this?" Do you still need this thing with Braque? ”

"It's small, isn't it? There will be no tiger here, only you tigress here! As soon as he spoke, he was exposed, and he really laughed off Lao Tzu's big teeth! ”

"You!! Go back, the old lady won't beat you without front teeth, and the old lady won't be called Pera! ”

"Hmph" Luo Ding looked afraid that you and I would be pigs, and then walked towards Brak: "Little brother, there is no shadow around here, right?" ”

Hearing this, Pera sneered: "Hehe! Who was just looking around with a broken mirror, pretending? It's not up to Brac Jr. yet. ”

Braque is obviously accustomed to the bickering of these two, and he has no interest in eating melons and watching dramas.

In his eyes, the world was divided into countless small pieces, and countless structures and lines entered his mind, constructing a precise holographic map somewhere in his mind. No matter how small the details—how many plants, even their roots are absorbing water, how many creatures, even the sound of their heartbeats—are all clear in his mind at the moment.

This is the ability of the "Visioner", which in the not-so-distant past was called the "Heavenly Eye" and "Clairvoyant". With the increase in the number of psionic people, they are also gradually used for criminal investigation, military power, and other purposes.

With the extension of that power, the big tree with the light bulb hanging on the Death Festival dozens of miles away also came to his eyes.

"There's nothing to worry about here," said Braque, "to a little bit in the south-central...... That's where you really have to cheer up. ”

Pera walked over to the last man in the car, who was holding a small notebook with something scribbled. It was very dark around, and Pera couldn't see what he was painting: "Ye Fan, what are you painting?" ”

The boy named Ye Fan was not very surprised that she would come over to take a look, so he smiled and gave her the notebook. The moon is painted on it, and there is a gentle blue-black night.

"Ah, that's beautiful...... So you're so good at drawing, huh? She picked up the notebook and looked at it again, and felt that something was not right, and looked up at the sky again to understand: "Huh? But aren't there two moons in the sky now? Why did you only draw one...... And this book is the goddess of the moon, but isn't it Civita and Ephros in the sky? ”

"I know," Ye Fan took the notebook back, looked at the things he had drawn, and seemed to appreciate what he hadn't really seen: "I'm just thinking about Yueqing." ”

"......" Pera's eyes lit up: "Ye Fan, someone has said that you are like the love poet Groani~~"

The two people not far away couldn't help whispering when they saw this scene. Luo Ding: "What do you say is the matter with this new kid?" When I looked at him, he didn't think it was a serious thing. ”

Braque was expressionless: "I don't understand. ”

"You said that this kid doesn't look like he knows anything, and he laughs like a leper dog all day long, and the tigresses and goddesses of our team seem to be a little obsessed. Obviously, in terms of appearance, your eldest brother and I don't lose to him at all...... Eh, you say, could it be that some of us are forced into it to experience life? ”

You're really hopeless when it comes to looks. Braque thought in his heart, so he almost said it directly: "People were just adults and were photographed and entered our Jing Pavilion Division." At the age of 17, he was transferred to the Dragons...... There must be some reason to transfer him in.,I know you feel bad when you see the newcomer on fire.,But now it's a fan after all.,It's in a squad.,It's better to have a good relationship with the mission.。 ”

"Huh? Can't speak? Or isn't it my buddy anymore? What does it mean to be uncomfortable to see people on fire? Haven't I been worried that there are three-legged cats here, and I'm afraid that there will be three differences and two shortcomings in the mission? I care about the ability of newcomers, you know? Luo Ding said: "Eh, you said that our mission is so important. How can you let a newcomer come along? This guy just came in, and this is the first time he has been on duty, right? And there's ......"

Braque hurriedly made a silent gesture, looking a little anxious: "...... Don't let anyone else hear. The instructor asked us to keep it a secret, in case we leaked any rumors, it would be bad. ”

Luo Ding nodded, and suddenly didn't dare to speak.

The Jingting Division is a secret organization unique to the Principality of Slumie, and it is also a team of the National Transport Division. The Department of National Transport is the largest state protection agency in the Principality of Selmie, and its main responsibility is to protect national security, engage in safeguarding national security and cracking down on illegal and criminal activities. And the Jingting Division is the most secretive team in the National Sports Division, mainly responsible for some unknown important affairs that secretly protect national security.

In the history of the Principality of Sramie, the Division of National Fortune did not always exist, but was established almost 20 years ago after the Empire of San Femonlos implemented a policy of "stocking" a number of nearby vassal states, including the Principality of Slemy. After the new Grand Duke Scone Miller succeeded to the throne, the power of the National Fortune Division was further expanded. In particular, the Jingting Division has expanded from twenty or thirty people, which were not too many people, to 14 teams, with nearly 20 people in each team. Among them, a variety of people with superior skills, such as visioners, mind readers, and people with superior military strength, were constantly enriched into the Jingtei Division from all aspects, such as military strength and social elites.

In fact, there have been doubts for a long time, is this to further improve the country's military defense strength? Or is it for some political purpose? The reason for this is probably unknown to anyone except Guogong and others.

The wind in the sky creates a chill that makes people unable to slacken. Ye Fan raised his head and glanced at the distant edge of the starry sky, but all he saw was an endless green forest.

He was too narrow about the world, and he didn't think he was qualified to know more.

It is said that outside of the vast territory of the San Femonlos Empire, there are many countries that use magical abilities, and they also have strong national power. There are a lot of wonderful things out there, and there are places where monsters can be seen everywhere. When he was very young, he had fantasized about going to those places, but his world had been tied to the Duchy of Slemi, to the small vehicle of the Shizuneiji. He may spend the rest of his life living for the safe existence of the principality. He can only rely on painting to imagine the places he can't reach.

After flying for one hour above the forest, the convoy finally reached the south-central part of the Duchy of Lorraine.

It's still a forest as far as the eye can see, but it's extremely flat.

Before entering the forest area to carry out directional high-speed driving, Burak and others also checked the various weapons and equipment they were wearing. Because here, they don't just have to be wary of the large beasts that increase in number as the terrain improves...... Everything, the weaponry, and their readiness to fight, everything has to be foolproof.

"Now it's time to clamp the one between you, newcomer. Don't scare the pee. Before the convoy lowered its altitude and entered the treetops, Luo Dingpi teased Ye Fan with a smile.

Ye Fan didn't say anything when he heard this, just pursed his lips unhappily.
