"Lord Baron, we found some fragments here."
About two kilometers away from Roddy and Camilla, on the other side of the outer city of Elsen City, Belom reached out his hand and took a few crystal fragments from his subordinate. He squinted his eyes and examined them carefully. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Ah … I still found it."
According to the notes that King Augustine took from Ansadin, this was the "Charged Crystal" that he had been searching for so long!
In a little more than a day, Belorme had already led his team to search half of the outer city, and his efforts had paid off. However, just the fragments were far from enough. Belorme needed more rechargeable crystals, and he also needed their production information. In short, he had to take back everything that was useful.
The more he gained, the more rewards he would get from King Augustine. Every time Belom thought about what he might get, the suppressed negative emotions in his heart would be relieved. At this time, he was in a good mood. He raised his hand and put the fragments into his pocket. He then ordered his subordinate necromancers, "Continue to search. After the outer city is searched, then the inner city … Oh, right, where is that team of mages?"
That team of 15 mages always made Belom feel like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. But in the eyes of the nobles, every war or battle had a purpose. If the other party was not interested in the "Charged Crystal", he naturally did not need to waste his troops to fight a battle where there was no objection.
"Lord Baron, the detection of the blood crows … failed."
"What do you mean?"
Belom's smile froze. He frowned and asked, "The blood crows are dead?"
"Not dead … After that team entered the inner city, there seemed to be some power that blocked the vision of the blood crows. Since then, the blood crows have not been able to track them …"
This situation was unexpected. This city was full of strange things. Not only did they not meet anyone along the way, but even the reliable blood crows could not detect them?
The good mood brought by finding the "Charged Crystal" fragment was gone in the blink of an eye. Belom found that his luck seemed to be always bad, and he could not help but feel a little annoyed. At this time, another necromancer hurried over. Belom knew that it was not a good thing at first glance. He asked coldly, "What's wrong?"
"There is a team entering Elsen from the south gate … It seems, seems to be a team of humans."
"Human?!"
Belom suddenly turned around, his luxurious cloak fluttering in the wind due to the eruption of his aura. The ice elements rotated tyrannically, almost freezing the bodies of the two undead.
Who else in the Kingdom of Karen would be so bored as to come to such a desolate place? The only possibility was the bastards from Sora Outpost!
Belorme was almost immediately able to determine the identity of Rody and the others because he had just left Sora Outpost and immediately came here. No one else would be able to catch up to him in such a short time.
"Preposterous …"
Belom was angry at first, but then he felt that it was unreasonable. He had a lot of combat experience and could naturally tell that Sauron was able to exchange blows with him because he had used some kind of secret technique, but the consequences were usually very serious, and it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
What about these humans? That guy with the chain hammer only knew how to use underhanded tricks and sneak attacks. He didn't even have the ability to exchange three moves with him … With this kind of strength, they still dared to chase him here to court death?
"If that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish!"
When Belorme thought of his tragic experience, he felt like his chest was about to explode. Without another word, he mounted his warhorse, waved his sword, and ordered, "Send Blood Crows to keep an eye on them! I want to get rid of these scums with my own hands! "
*****
When Belorme decided to launch a surprise attack, Camilla was shocked by Roddy's shocking words.
"I don't know what the force behind you is doing here, but I want to say … if you rashly enter the inner city, you will definitely end up badly."
Roddy controlled the rhythm of the conversation unhurriedly. There were the footsteps of patrols outside the tent, and she could also hear Sodelor's orders to Rugkat when he was assigning tasks. Words such as "pay attention to the scouting area" and "go to the tower to observe" were clearly heard by Camilla. This invisible atmosphere was actually a little oppressive, constantly reminding Camilla of the fact that she was "trapped" in the enemy's territory.
After saying the word "impossible", Camilla immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, but it was too late to remedy it. At this time, she could only shut her mouth. But in her heart, she was completely shocked by the "secret" that Roddy had mentioned.
As a member of the "Holy Assembly," Camilla had indeed come into contact with some confidential information, but this information was not as lethal as Roddy's "alarmist" words. How could Elson be self-destructive?
"I know this not by guessing. I know you won't believe me, so I brought the evidence. You know the High Elf language, right? "
Roddy reached out and took out a thick book. When the words "On the Self-Consciousness of the Defense System" entered Camilla's eyes, although she tried to hide her emotions, her long eyelashes still trembled slightly.
Roddy did not seem to notice. He lowered his head and began flipping through the book. He pointed at Cadgar's signature on the first page and said softly, "Coincidentally, I also know the High Elf language. This … hmm, an Arcanist called Cadgar said that he had deployed all of Elson's defense formations and systems, and that he had personally created Elson's' consciousness. ' He called this consciousness he created 'Turing' … Interesting name, isn't it? "
Camilla did not speak, but her eyes followed the handwriting that Roddy's fingertips were pointing at. Her heart was in turmoil.
How did this book end up in his hands?!
Roddy flipped through a few pages. The entire defensive layout of Elson City, the cross-sectional diagrams of each core structure, and the incantations to activate the formation flashed past.
"… Here are some sentences that might help you understand why I said that the inner city is dangerous. 'After Turing's consciousness gradually lost control, I had no choice but to activate the' Time Stop Barrier 'to prevent it from causing harm to my people. I felt that I could no longer control everything …
"I had to disintegrate its consciousness! But it was almost invulnerable …
"Thank the heavens! I found a way, but I had to go to the core of the Pasha Magic Tower. However, Turing had already sensed my intentions, and it was resisting.
"I have already completely abolished the defense system of the outer city. This will delay the evacuation of some of the residents. But to solve all of this, the final 'key' is in the secret chamber of the underground palace …"
Rody continued to flip through the book until he was almost at the end of the book.
"… This is the last thing I can do. Once the barrier is activated, my life is only enough to maintain the barrier for eight hundred years or less. At that time, the power of the crystals in the city will be exhausted, and Turing's power will also be weakened. No matter who it is, you must go to the Pasha Magic Tower to activate the formation! Otherwise, Turing will be destroyed … "
The scribbled handwriting stopped abruptly. Camilla felt cold sweat all over her body.
Roddy closed the book with a snap and handed it directly to Camilla. "I believe you can tell whether this thing is real or fake."
Camilla held the huge book in her arms and looked at him with dull eyes. It seemed that she had received too many shocks in a short period of time and was completely stunned.
At this point, if she still could not understand the situation at hand, she would really be stupid. The information that the "Holy Assembly" had was obviously not even one ten-thousandth of the book, and until now, Speck and the others obviously did not even know who "Turing" was!
Those old fellows of the Holy Assembly all thought that "Turing" had been destroyed long ago, but they did not expect the secret from more than seven hundred years ago to be so complicated. Khadgar blocked this place just to buy time!
He did not solve the problem brought by Turing, but left the opportunity to solve the problem for eight hundred years later!
No one knew this fact, so the group of ignorant arcanists now entered the inner city of this city without any intuition.
If Turing was still alive, what did it mean?
Camilla could not help but shiver. After twelve years of peaceful life, she almost could not bear this kind of pressure, which was like a landslide. If everything was really like what the book said, perhaps the arcanists of the "Holy Assembly" would undoubtedly become the victims!
And herself? If everyone else died and she walked out alive, according to the ruling of the "Holy Assembly", it was also equivalent to betrayal!
The consequence of betrayal … meant that "Naifei" would be erased from the world by the Holy Assembly!
Camilla suddenly realized that there seemed to be only one road in front of her.
Originally, Roddy was calmly waiting for Camilla's reaction, but the sudden alarm outside the tent made him frown and stand up. The curtain blocking the cold wind was pushed aside by Akasha. Camilla turned around and saw Roddy rushing out of the tent. Then, when he looked up at the sky, his expression changed slightly, and then he raised his short bow …
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew out, and the crisp sound of the "Explosive Arrow" echoed in her ears.
What followed was a few curses and orders from Roddy in a low voice. Camilla vaguely heard him say words like "low altitude", "blood crow", and "targeted".
The curtain of the tent fell, and in the dim light, Camilla opened her eyes wide. Her mind was filled with the information she had just received, and the book in her hand was heavy and worrying.
While she was thinking, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and Roddy walked in with the cold wind. He frowned and said with a gloomy face, "We have been targeted by the undead. We must enter the inner city now."
The inner city meant Turing's territory, and it meant absolute danger.
"Someone will take you out of here. Go now."
Roddy's words were tough and irrefutable. Camilla hated Speck's orders very much, but when she heard him talking to her like this, she did not know why she felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
"I can't go." Camilla shook her head and stood up slowly. "If I escape, Naifei will be … dealt with by them."
