Chapter 650 Potential! ( Please subscribe)
In the middle of the night, a gate quietly rose to the south of the city of New Rome. The three-story armored gate inside and outside can withstand the direct impact of missiles, due to the importance of New Rome's defense. The city located underground has a hollow environment between it and the crustal rocks. It is connected by a large number of square metals. These are not only the supporting nodes between the city and the earth's crust, but also a powerful defense matrix.
When needed, these metal columns as supporting nodes will generate a laser light curtain on the four planes, which will be connected through the node surface, thus forming a defensive home ground covering the whole city. In addition to resisting physical and energy shocks, the light curtain itself also has the characteristics of high temperature, and people or objects that enter the range of the light curtain will be ignited or detonated.
This defense home comes from the concept of the designers of New Rome' pursuit of security, and then it has been updated and upgraded several times to have its current scale. In the history of New Rome, it has defended three attacks of mutant creatures to protect the city, so it is called "God's gift" for short.
However, the divine defense system has quietly changed after falling into the hands of Sauron. As long as Sauron is willing, the defense matrix can not only resist external attacks, but also become a link between the new Roman city and the outside world, thus turning the city into the largest prison.
Outside the quietly rising gate, a figure quickly walked in. A team of knights stood on both sides of the gate, dressed in silver armor and decorated with the coat of arms of the red cross. The red cloak on the back is completely different from the knights of the ordinary Holy Seal Knights. This team of knights is Sauron's personal guard, called "Hand of Silver", and each team member is composed of capable people above the sixth level.
Their leader, Wesel, is kneeling on one knee, with the same series of silver armor as the silver hand, but with a pattern of golden thorns on the red cross coat of arms. The tall leader, who knelt on one knee, was holding a golden cloak in his hands. After entering the city, the man took the cloak and tied it to his body. The cloak slid to the ground like a banner.
The sight of his eyes fell on the cloak on the ground, and Wessel said in a low voice, "Welcome back, Lord Sauron!"
It was Sauron, the real owner of the Holy Seal, who returned late at night. His face was gloomy. Although this secret trip destroyed Ista, it was far from smooth because of the loss of King Arthur and the escape of Franklin. Feeling the depressing atmosphere on Sauron's body, not only the other silver hand knights were nervous, but even Wisel, as a confidant, did not dare to take a breath.
Until Sauron said, "Go back first." Everyone was relieved.
A gorgeous carriage was waiting for Sauron, which continued the luxury symbol of the medieval aristocracy, but needed a lot of wealth and resources to maintain it. Among other things, the two tall white horses of the imperial car are enough to produce two third-generation round table knights!
These two white horses originated from the products of genetic engineering in the papal chamber laboratory. After all, in this era, everything is changing, and no such pure horses can be found. These two horses are genetically created, and they spend a lot of money only to reflect Sauron's identity symbol, which is not difficult to see the man's dictatorship from another side.
If not, these two horses alone can feed all civilians on several colonial islands for decades or even longer.
The carriage set off, and Wether and other knights followed the carriage through the quiet street and quietly returned to the Pope's Hall. After getting off the bus, Sauron strode deep into the Pope's Hall. Dr. Jane, who received the news, waited early. As soon as he saw Sauron appear, he immediately greeted him and said, "Your Excellency, you are finally back. Please forgive me for your liberty, but I still have to report to you. The laboratory was simply in a mess. After the beast escaped, we tried to wake up one or two from his hibernating compatriots to continue the experiment.
Unfortunately, their physique does not seem to be as strong as beasts, and they are not suitable for our current living environment. After leaving the sterile environment of the hibernation warehouse, the two experimental subjects woke up for the longest survival of no more than 24 hours, and the shortest one had a genetic collapse 3 hours later. Although we still have a lot of experimental bodies left, in view of this situation, we dare not try to wake up other experimental bodies for the time being, so we have to wait for the adults to come back and make another determination. The doctor swallowed his saliva and said, "Of course, it's better to be able to catch the wild. My lord, he is the key to our new country.
Usually, Sauron still valued Dr. Jane in the Pope's Chamber. After all, he is an authority on genetic engineering. Sulong wants to establish an army of capable people, and even wants to break through the existing level, he is looking forward to the research of the doctor. Therefore, at ordinary times, the conversation between Sauron and the doctor can be called pleasant. However, tonight seemed to be an exception. Sauron impatiently grabbed the doctor's collar and put him against the door and said in a cold tone, "Listen, doctor, maybe before, the beast was indeed the key to our new country. But now he is no longer! The true God has come, and he will open a new country for us. But damn it, he lost his key. Now I'm worried about it, so don't bother me about beasts anymore!"
Let go of Dr. Jane, and Sauron said, "Compared with this, my King Arthur has been damaged. Please make another one for me."
"This is not a big problem. King Arthur's information has been filed, and there is also a prototype in the warehouse. As long as it is modified and debugged, it will be put into use soon..." Dr. Jane hasn't spoken yet, but Sauron has gone far away. The authoritative expert of the Pope's Hall looked at the distant figure and had to sigh heavily.
Of course, Sauron was not in the mood to pester Dr. Jane. Losing Franklin was like missing an opportunity for him to advance. And because of this, I don't know what that person will do to him. Of course, Sauron is sure that he will not kill himself. He knew very well that the silver demon had to dominate the country through him.
This practice is just like he pushed Paul, who was only 5 years old, to power more than a decade ago, and he monopolized power behind his back.
Thinking of this, Sauron's mouth was full of bitterness.
In a blink of an eye, I came to my own palace. With the hands of Wether and Silver, Sauron entered his palace alone. Before the demon named Gaia appeared, Sauron's palace could be said to be brightly lit all year round. As soon as he came back, his beautiful wife and concubines would surround him, which did not make Sauron feel lonely for a moment. But now, when the door of the palace is opened, the world inside is dark and cold.
On that day, all the wives and concubines were killed by Gaia. In order to keep Gaia's secret, Sauron killed all the guards and waiters. That night, the blood from these bodies accumulated a thin layer in Sauron's palace like a carpet. After the night known as the bloody night, it took three days to clean up the palace alone. And the cleaning work is done by the knight of the noble silver hand personally.
After washing the palace, every time he returned to the palace, Sauron smelled a faint smell of blood. Even the fragrant flowers sprinkled in the palace can't hide the smell of blood. So Sauron knew that his palace had become a hell.
Because the devil is here.
The light in the palace is dim, but the space is much more spacious than before. After all, those unnecessary decorations, even famous paintings preserved from the old times, have been cleaned up, and the space is naturally spacious. Only Sauron's luxurious Russian mahogany handmade animal leather chair has been preserved, which is also a relic of the old era. Nowadays, no matter the material or production process, it no longer exists. This big chair like a work of art alone is already worth a lot.
In the past, Sauron liked to sit on this leather chair and appreciate the absurd performances made by his wife and concubine to please him. Now, the owner of the leather chair has changed.
Gaia was sitting on it, with a long black knife placed horizontally, with his hands flat on his knees, like an inanimate body.
Many times, Sauron even thought it was just a corpse. But Sauron didn't have the courage to find out. Hearing his footsteps, in a long breath, his corpse-like body seemed to be injected into his soul. The hidden and invisible power slowly spread through the whole space like water. At the moment when it touched Gaia's power, Sauron seemed to see the sky burning and the earth cracking. Countless fireballs broke through the air, cities and life withered in the flames, and blood was the only theme. This place is hell!
Although it was only a short moment, Sauron couldn't help gasping violently. Even because of fear, their hands trembled gently. The palace is still the same palace, but when Sauron looked at the leather chair, Gaia was no longer there.
"How about what I told you to do?"
The cold voice came from the right side, and Sauron saw that the black scabbard of the narrow sword was somehow on the ground less than 5 centimeters away from his eyes. The distance is so close that Sauron seems to be able to feel the sharpness and coldness of the sword in the scabbard.
He couldn't help but buried his head and said, "Please forgive me. Everything went well, but Franklyn escaped from Roaring Bay.
"Escape?" Under the silver hair, on the face similar to Zero, the golden pupil of the left eye reflects the fire of the palace, as if there is a flame jumping in the pupil: "Then why don't you find him before coming back?"
"Because... Because the roaring bay is..." Sauron suddenly thought of something and suddenly changed his words and said, "No, there is nothing there. Don't worry, I will send a large army immediately. Even if you turn over all the islands nearby, you will bring Franklin back for you!"
After saying that, Sauron waited for Gaia's instructions. I waited for a long time, but nothing happened. I couldn't help looking to the right, and the scabbard was gone. Then Gaia's voice came from directly in front of him. I don't know when he sat back on the leather chair and said coldly, "Then don't go, Sauron. My kindness is limited. The next time I wake up, I hope to see Franklin. Otherwise, I don't mind changing to another servant. A young pope is also a good choice.
Sauron said repeatedly, "Please rest assured, my lord. I will bring Franklin back in a short time. Please rest in peace.
The power disappeared like a low tide, and the body on the broken chair became lifeless again. At this time, Sauron dared to raise his head and hurriedly exited the palace.
Soon after, Sauron's roar sounded in the strategic command room: "Call those pigs from the combat department! I'm going to see them in 5 minutes. If any of them hasn't arrived, I'll kill them immediately!"
In his roar, the Silver Hand Knight kept running and issued Sauron's order. Wither stood beside Sauron and asked puzzled, "Your Excellency, is this?"
"We are going to war." Sauron took out a three-dimensional map near the roaring bay and pointed to the house of the sea with one hand and said, "Den full war on the pirates. This time, no matter how much it costs, I will completely shovel them from the roaring bay!"
The scenery on the sea is very wonderful, and the whole world was still dark at the moment. But after a ray of skylight jumped out of the sea level in the east, the light quickly expelled the darkness and the dawn came quietly.
When the sky began to brighten, Destiny also set sail and left the east coast pier of Ista. While still sleeping, Oran received a report of the departure of the Destiny. By the time she arrived at the dock, the strange silver ship had raised four steel wings and spewed out a faint blue flame farther and farther away. A shallow wave was left on the sea and sailed from the inner bay of Xianyue Island to the natural tunnel.
Olan sighed and knew that she had missed an opportunity. An opportunity that may make Ista quickly rise again. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Ista, who has not reached a consensus on future planning, is obviously not ready. Oran can't blame Zero for changing without saying a refusal, and she would have done the same. As long as they are a little more mature, they will not be willing to cooperate with impulsive people like Jesse. After all, this relationship is not a matter of one person, but the situation of the whole continent.
Olan can understand that Jesse became impulsive and irrational because of the loss of Ulson, an important person, but she did not allow this to continue. Otherwise, the next loss may not be as simple as a cooperation opportunity, but the remaining strength of the rebels. She has sworn to Ulson's sword and vowed to inherit his will. And all this starts with changing Jesse. If it can't change him, Oran decided to kick him out by all means. She will never allow Jesse to drag everyone down alone.
The road ahead is full of thorns, and the watchman has clenched the sword in his hand. Even if it is bloody, you have to go straight to the end of the road.
For Destiny, Ista is obviously not the end of its journey. When driving through the inner bay of Xianyue Island and coming to the vast sea through the natural tunnel on the island, the scene of jumping from the dark and narrow environment to the vast sea will make people feel suddenly cheerful. In addition, the golden sky shines on the sea, which is enough to make people no matter how sad they are.
What's more, Zero was not depressed, so he stood on the ship Destiny with a smile on his face.
"The captain seems to be in a good mood. He came out early in the morning to watch the sunrise." Behind her, Cindrell's voice sounded, and the beautiful female captain took powerful steps and walked all the way to Zero like the queen stepping on the red carpet. Then he sat on the boat and intertwined a pair of slender legs, exposed to the golden morning light without hesitation.
Zero spread out his hands and said, "Maybe you won't understand that we can't see such a scenery on the continent we are in. Whether in the old or new era, the ocean will always be the mysterious field that human beings yearn for. And now that I am lucky enough to set foot in this field, is there any reason why I can't be happy?
"The ocean is indeed beautiful, but sometimes it is also very violent, which is the terrible thing about the sea. And the place you are going to now is far from friendly. Cinella sighed, "Zero, I don't doubt your ability. I also believe that you can defeat all the captains with one strength. But so what? Those guys are unruly people. Even if I submit to you for a while, I can't do it for you.
Zero nodded and said, "I know, Cinderila. I have thought about this before. The reason why you are willing to be pirates is that you don't want to bow to Sauron. More importantly, it is yearning for this freedom at sea, right?
Cinderella's eyes flashed with surprise: "Since you already know, still..."
"But Cedera, your era of freedom is coming to an end. The sea is no longer your wanton paradise. The Pope's Hall will block this sea with their army, and Sauron will use his method to make you stand on my side. From the beginning, I have been following the trend. Through the Pope's Hall, we will lead the favorable situation to my side.
Turn around and turn your back to the brilliant morning light. Zero's whole body was like a layer of brilliance, which stunned Cyntra. Ling stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture and said, "Don't worry, my Cindeira. You just need to watch and see how I borrowed the situation facilitated by Sauron, which in turn turned into a fire that pushed him off the altar!"
Cinderella smiled and stretched out her hand to let Zero hold it: "I believe you!"
Three days later, at the same dawn, fate quietly arrived in the sea near the Sea House. Cinderila released a pink fireworks on the ship, and the fireworks blew up the pattern of the water demon in the sky. More than an hour later, the repaired Water Monster came from the Sea House and moored near the Destiny. Zero and Cedrera got on the boat and returned to the sea house.
At ten o'clock, the Sea King Bar opens. X is still wiping his wine glasses in front of the bar, and several waiters are cleaning the floor and cleaning up the debris left by the guests last night. On this morning, which is no different from the past, far from the official business, two figures came in from the recently changed door. X didn't raise his head and still wiped the wine glass attentively, but said, "I'm sorry, we haven't started business yet. Please come back after noon."
However, an arrogant woman laughed: "I'm afraid I can't do it today, Mr. X!"
X's eyebrows moved, and finally raised his head and landed on the stunning figure in front of the door: "Even you, Cindera, must follow my rules."
"I know, but your rules must be changed today. Not for me, but for him..."
