It's still the aristocratic cottage.

The flame of the fireplace was still burning, and the pine branches in the furnace seemed to never burn, and even a faint smell of rosin wafted through the room. In fact, a holographic projection system constructed by a laser generator and a force field device can be used to burn pine wood in a fireplace for 10,000 years, as long as there is an energy supply.

Unlike last time, the painting of the Mona Lisa is gone, replaced by the famous Miller's "The Sower".

In this painting, hard-working farmers sow seeds in a desolate wheat grove, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year. However, in the sky of the picture, there are birds circling. These hungry birds cling to the seeds on the ground, waiting for a chance to prey.

The oil painting is depicted in detail, and the relationship between man and nature is expressed just right. But for Oglok, he saw a different shijie. For him, he is like the hard-working sower in the oil painting, sowing the seeds of civilization on the turbulent ruins of the new era. But there are always those who, like the greedy birds, prey on the seeds that have not yet sprouted, and let Oglock's toil go to waste.

The thought inevitably reminded him of his former comrades-in-arms, today's enemies. On the report on his desk, there were more than a dozen pieces of information about Valhalla's recent history. It is not difficult to see from the relevant information that Valhalla's actions have been frequent recently. The Dark Council's archenemy no longer seems to be left alone, and from this information, Ogllock sees that his old adversary has ordered a large number of chariot parts from some corporate bases in the wilderness, as well as recycling and hoarding nuclear waste and high-quality uranium.

Thirty years ago, the two organizations had a war that spanned the entire coastline due to differences in philosophy. At the end of the war, the two sides signed a Peace Treaty. In the statement released to the public, it was pointed out that both sides are aware that if this war continues, it will destroy the few remaining civilizations of mankind. But in fact, both Oglok and Ben knew that it was just driven by profit.

After all, if the two evenly matched organizations fight the war to Zuihou, they will only end up together. Neither Oglock nor Ben wanted to see this happen, and that led to the Peace Treaty.

During that war, Valhalla's side used some of the Miracle-derived technology to develop a weapon that caught Oglok's attention. After the truce, Oaklock sent spies to Valhalla who had infiltrated the interior to bring back news of the Miracle, much to the Chairperson of the Dark Council. Because of this, the Dark Council has the ability to move towards the area of the southwestern lands surrounded by primordial forests and mountain ranges.

Naturally, the public announcement is yet another feat of the Dark Council to open up new territory. In fact, it was to find a place similar to a holy miracle.

Since Cataclysm, the planet's appearance has changed dramatically. While some of the old cities and bases have been preserved, many more have disappeared into the catastrophe of the Cataclysm. Splitting and splicing of land plates, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, land sinking, seabed rising, etc. All kinds of disasters have buried the civilization of the past, but some unknown relics have quietly surfaced on the surface of Shijie.

Through the development of the Southwest Lands for nearly a decade, the Dark Council has also mastered the remains of an unknown civilization. Nearly a third of the council's resources are now devoted to the study of the site. In that huge research team, there are more than 10 scholars of human civilization research. In the long process of deciphering, Ogllock learned that the civilization represented by the ruins had once existed on Earth.

Whether it is the totemic culture found in the ruins or the symbolic text symbols, they all indicate that they originated from the earth and not from outer space. Recently, Dr. Julian, who was leading the entire study, made a bold guess. This unknown civilization is likely to be the Atlantean civilization that suddenly disappeared in the history of the earth.

As for Atlantis, there have been countless scholars and scholars who have been interested in it since the old times. Some of the artifacts excavated at that time show that Atlantis was once a powerful empire. Their level of civilization was far above the average level of human beings at that time, but such a civilization suddenly disappeared into the history of mankind and became a fault line in civilization.

The old times came to the conclusion that Atlantis disappeared because of some kind of extinction catastrophe. However, there are different opinions about what kind of disaster it is, some say it was a tsunami, some say it was an earthquake, some say it was a volcanic eruption. Although the speculation is correct, there is no conclusive conclusion.

The reason why Dr. Julian guessed that the ruins they found were relics of the Atlantean civilization was that in addition to the large number of concentric circles found in the ruins, there was also a pattern of three buildings in groups. Both of these are the most iconic symbols of Atlantis, and together with other things found in the ruins, Dr. Julian came up with this bold conjecture.

Oglok is well aware that Julian, who is comparable to Dr. Shauna, has made great contributions and knowledge to the study of human civilization. Since he was able to make such a guess, then it was not far from the truth. And in many descriptions of Atlantis as a civilization, there is the same commonality.

That is, Atlantis was a very powerful empire at the time. They are very wealthy and technologically advanced. The Atlantis have conquered the skies and the sea, and they have an unusually advanced energy system, using a hexahedral hexapod called magnetite that absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy for the city. And in the old era, in the era of 1968, two stone structures were indeed found under the sea near the island of Bimini, which were the remnants of the Atlantean civilization that did not survive much on the Shijie at that time.

Judging from the ruins found today, the descriptions and conjectures about the civilization of Atlantis in the old era are not wrong, on the contrary, they are too underestimated. In Dr. Julian's report, the team found not only an incomprehensible light energy system in the ruins, but even an airport-like structure. This indicates that the Atlantean civilization already had the ability and tools to march into the sky.

If Oglok had known that Zero had found an Atlantis spaceship beneath the Great Rift, he would have been shocked more than that.

Currently, the research team is analyzing and replicating the jishu and technology of this prehistoric supercivilization in the ruins. Ogllock knew that the same work was underway at Valhalla, and that it had surpassed the Dark Council for nearly twenty years. This realized that Valhalla might have been ahead of the Dark Council in some areas, something that Oglok could not tolerate.

And in the recent report on Valhalla's movements, it is not difficult to see that his old rival may have a breakthrough in some areas. Oglok had a hunch that the war would soon start again. So there's a lot he needs to do before that.

For example, weakening Valhalla's Liliang.

While closing his eyes and pondering, countless schemes and jihua were generated in Oglock's mind. With computing power comparable to that of an artificial intelligence computer, Oglok analyzed and compared these solutions. In just a few moments, dozens of proposals were rejected, while the rest were marked with the to-do brand. In less than ten minutes, Oglock had already decided on the strategy and direction of Valhalla's future.

At this moment, the humanoid butler simulated by the artificial intelligence said respectfully to Oglok: "Sir, VIP No. 5 asks to see you." ”

Oglock opened his eyes, and a dark flame swept through his pupils. This VIP No. 5 is an important pawn in Valhalla, and even Ogllock does not know his true identity. But Oglok knew that he was not small, because of some secret information in Valhalla, and this person was quite clear. At the same time, he is also an ambitious person. The credibility points he had earned from the Dark Merchant through the sale of information had not been touched over the years, and as far as Oglok knew, it was already a huge fortune.

It is large enough to pay the Dark Merchants for a modest but decisive war.

And Oglok likes ambitious people, because such people mean that they can be moved by interests.

"Let him in. Ogllock said lightly to the electronic butler.

Moments later, the distinguished guests, still covering their faces with ornate masks, walked into the Oglok-only hospitality room.

"Is there anything I can do to help you, sir?" asked Ogllock with a smile as he looked at him.

The masked man showed a meaningful smile and said, "I'm here to make up for the lack of information last time, and to sell a few pieces of information that will be of interest to you, esteemed Hades." ”

"Oh, is that the message about zero?" asked Oglok.

The masked man nodded, "The final assessment of the new barracks will be held in three days, and the location of the assessment will be an abandoned base more than a hundred kilometers west of Asgard. ”

As he spoke, the masked man reached out and clicked in the void. As his fingers moved, the brain terminals throughout the room recognized the man's instructions and operated accordingly. As a result, a translucent map appears between the man and Oglock. The masked man's hands moved and expanded, and the next moment, the location of the Cossack base appeared clearly on the map.

With a wave of the man's hand in the direction of Oglok, the map drifted towards Oglok. Oglock reached out and made a shrinking and folding motion, and the map was saved.

The Speaker of the Dark Council nodded, "I have accepted this information, I think the Parkland family will need your supplementary information." ”

The masked man happily said, "Then let's talk about a few more pieces of information, I think you will be interested in buying them!"
