As far as the eye could see, it was an azure ocean. However, if one really got close, they would discover that the icy blue world was completely different from what they had imagined.
"It's so hot. What's that? Flames? "
"Magma. Magma transformed from plasma. In a special environment, it appears blue. Don't ask me how it works. At least, that's how the experts explain it to us. All you need to know is that it's harmless, as long as you don't go crazy and jump in. "
Mulster di Saar … Mu Te was a Forgen citizen who Rorschach had befriended during the previous joint operation with the Eagle's Crown.
Due to certain reasons that couldn't be revealed to outsiders, even though his relationship with the Eagle's Crown became more and more subtle, Rorschach still had a good relationship with this 1.3-meter tall shota … Alright, perhaps everyone knew why their relationship was good. At the very least, before the Eagle's Crown and the Game Church completely fell out, the two of them were still drinking buddies who could go to the bar together on weekends to fool around.
Right now, the two of them were at the edge of a snow-white floating island, and below them was a boundless blue ocean.
"Blue Ocean Base. It really lives up to its name. The Radiant Scroll probably never imagined that you would build a base in this sea of flames. It's bright red even on the magic radar. However, what's the benefit of spending so much effort to build a semi-floating base? I saw those energy transmission towers. Can you extract energy from below? Cool. Doesn't that mean you can recharge your battleships and magic armors at any time? "
Seeing Mu Te's expression instantly turn ugly, Rorschach shut his mouth. This time, he really was just asking casually. It seemed that he had "accidentally" inquired about Mu Te's core secrets again.
"… It would be great if you could give us a copy of this technology. Our Game Church also intends to build an outpost in the no man's land."
Rorschach once again "accidentally" blurted it out.
"That's impossible. The Cardinals would never give the technology to outsiders to extract the heat from the earth veins … Alright, alright. I'll ask them later. I really don't know if it's possible."
Rorschach nodded his head in satisfaction. This time, it was really just a casual remark.
Rorschach was probably used to being poor since he was young. In a sense, his habit of taking advantage of others was hopeless.
From a moral point of view, Rorschach should be the one who felt guilty.
In fact, Rorschach himself was a little hesitant on the way here. After all, this mission also gave him the opportunity to interact with Titan. In a sense, Rorschach had snatched this mission from Eagle Crown.
Back in the day, the Eagle's Crown had already established contact with the Titan under the volcano. They were preparing to establish an outpost in that volcano area … Now that I think about it, it was probably because they had the technology to extract energy from high-energy geothermal areas, so they wanted to establish their outpost in the volcano area.
However, the volcano Titan was too secretive back then. The Eagle's Crown was really worried about this unknown existence, so they called the "lie detector" Rorschach over to test him.
Naturally, Rorschach discovered that Titan wasn't telling the truth at all. He told the Eagle's Crown this fact, and the Eagle's Crown gave up on their previous investment and restarted their search for a new outpost.
Of course, this operation didn't seem like a problem at all. But now that I thought about it, if I were to look at the cause, this opportunity to communicate and cooperate with the Titan Giants should have belonged to the Eagle's Crown, which had constructed the volcano outpost.
The Eagle's Crown had probably been under Titan's observation. However, since they had already left, Titan could only turn his attention to someone else. Coincidentally, Rorschach had something that attracted his attention.
"What a mess …."
Rorschach shook his head and tossed these unnecessary thoughts to the back of his mind. Things had already developed to this point, so it would be immature of him to think about "what ifs" and "what maybes". No matter how many regrets there were in the past, they were all meaningless matters of the past. What he needed to do now was to look forward.
"The most important thing now is to complete this crazy mission. I hope that Titan Wood's temper isn't too bad … Alright, that's not likely."
Originally, the meeting with the Eagle's Crown this time was a little awkward. The relationship between the two parties was indeed quite delicate. Even Mu Te and Rorschach hadn't met for a long time.
It wasn't because of Titan. The Eagle's Crown hadn't even realized this yet. More importantly, it was because of the relationship between the Eagle's Crown and the Game Church.
Actually, there were many things that could be said about the past and present. However, if they were to be summarized simply, they could only be summed up in two sentences.
The Game Church used to be the Eagle's Crown's hardcore and underling. Now, not only were they hardcore competitors, but they had also vaguely become equal partners and competitors. The change in status between the two parties was so great that it made people sigh at how unpredictable the world was.
Just as Rorschach thought, if the two parties were to dwell on the past, there really wasn't much to talk about.
The Eagle's Crown could be said to be a traitor to the Game Church. They had caused the Eagle's Crown's initial investment and support to go down the drain. Now, they had even become a close competitor. Who knew how many secrets the Eagle's Crown had leaked to their main competitor?
The Game Church could also call the Eagle's Crown a bastard. At the most crucial moment (that night), the Eagle's Crown had betrayed their alliance and refused to help. They had allowed their core members to die, forcing Rorschach to seek help from the Radiant Scroll.
No matter who was right, they were both right. It was just that they had different standpoints and different choices. In the end, they could only accept the result.
If one really had to find a reason, it could probably be said that organizations were originally organizations that focused on profits. Favors and whatnot were too extravagant for them. If they cared too much about the past, they would not be able to see past it.
However, organizations and large churches could ignore favors and only care about profits. Some things and people were the exact opposite …
"Has he left?"
"Yes, don't worry. He brought a signal device with him. It shows that he has taken an assault ship to the Deep Cliffs to carry out a mission. That place is at least five hundred kilometers away from us. He won't be back anytime soon."
Only then did Rorschach heave a sigh of relief. He silently returned from the sea of fire.
When he had just arrived at this base, he had met an unexpected person. It was really a little embarrassing.
Gray Venom Blade, the peak combat power of the Eagle's Crown … an unlucky person who had been beaten up by Rorschach in public.
At that time, the Game Church had needed a chance to establish their might and prove that they had peak combat power. After searching for many targets, they had locked onto this peak combat power whose combat characteristics were countered by the Rorschach Army's abilities.
In the end, the Game Church won the bet. As a result, they had stepped into the circle of top churches and received special treatment from a few large churches.
If the Game Church had lost … there were no ifs in this world. However, Rorschach knew very well that if they had lost, even if they had not been punished by the Eagle's Crown, they would have naturally been banished to the side of the small fries.
The victors would not be blamed, and the losers would always mysteriously disappear in the wind … Not only did the Gray Venom Blade, who was not very popular in the first place, not have anyone to stand up for him, they even kicked him to the outpost base in the no man's land to prevent him from causing a chain reaction by insisting on taking revenge on a certain key person.
Yes, this was the place.
When he had met Rorschach previously, the scene had been very subtle.
It had been a few years, and Rorschach himself had almost forgotten about it. That was why he had openly chosen this place as a temporary outpost.
For the Gray Venom Blade, it was because of a certain person that he had been locked up here. He even had to report being watched when he went back to the city to buy toilet paper. It was a great humiliation.
As for Rorschach himself, he had probably been thinking about him day and night … The scene when he had met him back then was extremely embarrassing.
He had roared and wanted to fight with his life, but he had thought hard for a long time before he finally found this person in the depths of his memory …
"Gray … Gray Venom Blade?"
"Gray Venom Blade! It's Gray Venom Blade! "
On the spot, a certain forgotten peak expert exploded again. If he had not been stopped, he would have fought to the death on the spot.
Obviously, the current Rorschach was very important, much more important than the Gray Venom Blade who was purely a hired thug.
Thus, naturally, a certain unlucky person accepted a sudden mission and went to a completely unnecessary place to carry out a mission that was completely unnecessary … When the Bishop announced the mission, the way the Gray Venom Blade looked at Rorschach made one wonder if he would eat Rorschach alive if he had the chance.
The scene was extremely embarrassing. Rorschach also felt somewhat embarrassed, so he ran over to the sea of flames to enjoy the scenery.
Now that Mute had come to inform him, it should mean that the matter had come to an end and they could finally get down to business.
