Chapter 20: The Holy City of the Three Mountains
In the vast fountain square, an elf dressed in a fine costume walked hurriedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The spring gurgled and made a reassuring sound, but the elf, with its silver-white hair and purple eyes, was in no mood to stop and watch, and he walked briskly through the spring in the center of the square, across the slab-paved floor, toward the Great Hall on the other side.
Above the auditorium, there hung a sign, on which was a lighthouse on the shore, guiding the distance, surrounded by twelve stars.
This is the symbol that represents the most powerful organization on the continent, the Gulf Federation.
He strode up the stairs into the Great Hall, and the guards around him stepped away at the sight of his face, respectfully awaiting his passing.
"Lord, adults are waiting for you in the conference hall."
A squire who appeared to be the leader of the group reminded him, and the elf thanked him softly, then walked towards the chamber.
Soon, he made his way through the hallway of the auditorium to the conference hall.
"I'm late, sorry."
When he opened the door, he whispered an apology, but when he looked up, he was shocked by what he saw—a dozen people in the conference hall sitting at the round table, which was almost never full, watching him at the same time.
Ministry of People's Livelihood, Ministry of Magic, Ministry of War, Ministry of Technology, Ministry of Religion...... All the heads of the large systems within the Federation were present, and his immediate superior, the Minister of Technology, a half-elf with a long beard, was staring at him, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
"It's okay, Director Laura, you were originally doing experiments at the Institute of Biology, and we called you over suddenly."
At the front of the round table, the Minister of Defense, an expressionless middle-aged elf spoke: "Don't be nervous, we invite you to come, there are some things that need to be analyzed." ”
With that, he made a gesture, and the elf named Lola stepped forward quickly and came to his side.
The Minister of Defense directly handed him a large list of pictures and documents, and even pulled a chair and motioned for him to sit down, and how dare Laura sit down in front of a group of ministers whose status was unknown how much higher than the head of his little creature, he quickly refused, and then looked at the picture in his hand.
"This ...... This is?! ”
There was no time to get nervous, and the voice of surprise came immediately, and everyone present did not have any strange expressions, because before that, when they saw this picture, it was also like this, and even more unbearable.
"It's all true."
Not far away, the Minister of Technology said lightly: "Laura, don't doubt it, what you see is a real creature." ”
"It's all true? Such a huge ...... It's almost the same as those monsters from out of the sky, or even bigger......"
On the top of the picture, there is a huge figure wrapped in lava, its body is slender, like a horse, and it seems to be a dragon, it is in the torrent of lava, but it seems to be in the water, and on its chest, the sun-like light blurs the picture, and only the hideous and terrifying head can be seen.
There are contrasting signs underneath, and it is roughly estimated that the organism is more than 20 meters long and about 10 meters high, comparable to a biological fortress.
Laura's purple eyes rolled back and forth, and he clenched the document in his hand tightly, his bones clenched until he turned white, as if he had used the strength to tear it apart to keep his composure, and the director of the creature took a deep breath before saying in a dry voice, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"After analyzing the pictures, they are all information, and a lot of information that Terella's team took at the risk of their lives is in it."
The Minister of Defense re-spoke, he looked a little tired, in fact, everyone present was very tired, before calling Laura, these high-level leaders had already held more than a dozen meetings, large and small, and had not eaten or slept for almost a day, although they all had some extraordinary abilities, but they couldn't stop their mental exhaustion: "Laura, you are the best biologist in the Federation, you can analyze what this creature is, and ......"
After being silent for a while, and then sighing imperceptibly, the middle-aged elf said softly, "Is there any connection with those monsters in the sky?" ”
And Laura is already flipping through these documents at a rapid pace, on this continent, the power of magic is gradually declining, even the archmage can't cast powerful magic, but some auxiliary spells are the same as before, can be used freely. As the director of the Institute of Biology, Laura naturally knows a little magic, he uses reading skills to quickly read the information in his hand, then closes his eyes, frowns, and begins to sort out and analyze.
And everyone looked at him quietly, waiting.
“…… Relying solely on pictures, I can't analyze too much information, and the following data can't say anything......"
The first sentence made everyone present look disappointed, but Lola's subsequent words brought up their interest again: "But I can confirm that it has nothing to do with those monsters." ”
"Why?"
The Minister of Magic, an old elf with a white beard and hair turned white, asked with interest, his eyes shining with wisdom: "It is very similar to those monsters in terms of size and appearance, and before that, we even suspected that the eruption of Sigma Volcano was due to the new round of actions of these monsters. ”
"I thought it was the case at first, but the data showed otherwise."
Faced with this important archmage in the Federation, the minister of the Ministry of Magic, Laura hurriedly replied, and he explained in detail: "You see, this creature can walk freely in the lava, and the fire elemental around it has at least about 5,000 energy levels, and the energy level at the core of its chest cannot even be calculated, according to the information obtained by the Tyria team, I can tentatively estimate that its energy level is higher than 30,000. ”
Overall energy level...... He didn't think about it in depth, because it was too scary.
After a pause, Laura continued, "Except for those meaningless appearance gaps, you adults probably have forgotten the most fundamental information...... Those monsters weren't as strong as it was - maybe the volcano was really detonated by this creature. ”
This is the final conclusion.
"Thirty thousand?!"
"That's the peak of our latest magic cannon when it's fired at full power."
"How could it be ......"
"Higher than 30,000, this means that it is only the lower limit, maybe it is higher!"
"Detonate the volcano, oh my God, what kind of monster is this......"
The noisy voices echoed in the conference hall, and there were only a few high-level executives with corresponding technical literacy, they were only specialized in their own fields, and only this straightforward contrast could cause shock.
Thirty thousand energy level, which means that there is no weapon in the entire federation that can surpass its energy level, and even the strongest group of those monsters outside the sky is only close to ten thousand energy level, and their number is the real advantage.
Not to mention the point of detonating volcanoes, the Federation has weapons and technologies that can detonate volcanoes, but the strength of individuals has reached this point...... It can't be said that there are none, only that their existence is nothing more than a legend.
"Alright, the meeting warriors are over."
Seeing that the people's hearts were already a little sluggish, and that many of you present who had worked hard all day now really needed to rest, the ministers of the military department and the ministry of defense looked at each other in the air, and both of them nodded at the same time, and then the minister of defense stood up and announced the end of the meeting: "The Grand Commander is no longer here, so act according to the orders he left behind, Icarlo, you go and issue a press release later, the people in the Sigma volcano area need to be pacified, and the disaster relief materials need to be brought in as soon as possible......"
At the same time as the Minister of Defense was exercising his second-in-command rights, the Minister of Technology got up at the same time, he walked to Lola's side, and asked the other party to follow him, and how dare Laura disagree with his immediate boss? He was just the director of a research institute specializing in extraterrestrial creatures, and there were also the ancestors of the National Research Headquarters, and the head of the technical department was too high for him, so high that he would not even imagine this scene on weekdays.
"You're too brief, but if the other guys understand the seriousness of the situation."
Walking down the road to the other rooms of the Great Hall, the Minister of Technology spoke succinctly, his breath was calm, and he didn't seem to like nonsense: "Later you will go to the Grand Commander's side and tell him more about your judgment of this creature...... If you're feeling a little nervous, you can talk to me first and sort out your thoughts. ”
"The Grand Commander?"
Laura didn't notice the latter words, he just muttered softly as if he suddenly thought of something: "Yes, Sigmar Volcano erupted, and an extremely powerful mysterious creature appeared in it, how could the Grand Commander disappear this time for such a serious matter?" ”
The technical minister didn't care about this little disrespect, the technicians were all like this, so he turned his head to look southwest, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the walls of the auditorium: "Commander......"
"He's at Sigmar Volcano right now."
And on the other side of time and space, the continent of Mycrof.
In the Northern Empire, in the teleportation array of a city closest to the imperial capital, three figures appeared.
A man, and two teenagers and girls who are petite in comparison.
Click, footsteps were heard, a step, the black-haired man at the head strode out of the teleportation array, he raised his head, and looked at the three towering peaks in the distance, and the three huge fortresses overflowing with magic on them, the warrior knew that behind them, there was a huge city that was so majestic that it seemed to be a miracle.
"It's so deserted around, and the celebration banquet hasn't started yet, am I here a little early?"
He said with a casual smile, as if he wasn't expecting an answer, and said to himself: "Then, it seems that this is the imperial capital of the Northern Empire. ”
