Chapter 4
At this time, the military district.
"General Ronald, are you sure?"
"Even if he is not the Lord of the Abyss, he is still a terrifying existence of the same level."
"That's strange. Priest Xilin couldn't possibly bring such a dangerous being to the Imperial City. Based on what you just said, it's possible that the person has a special physique."
Legion Commander Fili pointed at the wooden table with his finger, his eyes sharp, and he seemed to not believe Ronaldo's report.
In the past six months, Ronald had reported many unusual incidents. They later sent people to investigate, and nine out of ten were misunderstandings. A year ago, Ronald had retired from the front due to injury. His perception was no longer as sharp as before, and he also had post-war depression, which made him sensitive and worried. Therefore, he only had the title of general, but his subordinates had no real power, and no military force to mobilize.
Fili continued, "The Abyss Lord that I contracted has just entered the Imperial City. If the person you are talking about is the Abyss Lord, then the Imperial City would not be so peaceful. A fight would have broken out long ago."
Ronaldo choked up, recalling the black-haired young man in his mind. He was very friendly and looked harmless, and from the outside, he didn't look like a dangerous person at all.
But if you say he is an ordinary person, Ronaldo is a little bit unconvinced.
Ronal thought: "Can we contact Priest Xilin?"
Fili shook his head. “No one in the Church of Dawn knows where Priest Xilin has gone.”
This is not uncommon. Priest Xilin is a well-known adventurer. Although he is a clergyman, he often leaves the imperial city and goes to extremely dangerous places, and stays there for several months or even a year.
Fili reminded, "You and I both know that Priest Xilin is not a person without vision. It is impossible for him not to recognize the Lord of the Abyss."
Secondly, the strong do not need to disguise themselves. If the Lord of the Abyss wants to come to the Imperial City, why would he need to borrow the help of Priest Xilin or others? You can't stop him directly. The city defense magic can't stop monsters above level 80.
After hearing this, Ronaldo gradually calmed down. Although he was still confused, he tried to communicate with his contracted demon, but there was no response at all.
Fili said, "I understand that you care about the Imperial City, but things at that level are not something you and I can control. If the other party really had any ideas about the Empire, something would have happened to the Empire long ago."
Ronal nodded and thought: "Could it be a pro-human Abyss Lord?"
This is very important. Being pro-human means being able to communicate and even sign contracts.
Currently, the Oss Empire has signed contracts with three Abyss Lords, and its national strength ranks 45th among all human countries.
The more contracts a country signs with powerful forces outside of the country, the stronger it will become.
If they could sign a contract with another Abyss Lord, the Empire's strength would definitely be able to take another step forward and enter the top 30. In order to enhance its overall national strength, the Empire has been actively cooperating with pro-human extraterrestrial forces.
Ronaldo lowered his head, feeling uneasy.
Fili saw through everything and said directly: "The current problem is to find a way to contact the other party and show goodwill without disturbing the other party."
Ronaldo pondered for a moment and nodded.
At this time, the wind was howling outside, the clouds parted, and beams of sunlight shone in, making the hall bright and white.
Fili turned around, his left and right faces clearly visible, and looked in the direction of the tower and said, "Go investigate first, I will explain this matter to His Majesty."
Ronald's eyes changed instantly, he was filled with awe, and said directly: "Yes!"
After Ronal left, Fili frowned and said to himself, "If that person is really a super-sized being, it is impossible for Abyss Lord Eliog not to sense it, but Eliog doesn't seem to react at all... It's hard to say."
Military affairs have been busy recently, whether it is expeditions or guarding, the soldiers are tired. If an abyss lord who is not friendly to humans comes, it will be troublesome.
"Thousands of years have passed, and human civilization has made some progress, but it is still far from comparable to the civilization created by God."
Fili knew it well.
For example, humans must build their royal cities on land, while the God-created races can open up cities in the sky and fly naturally with wings.
No matter how high a tower humans build on the ground, it cannot penetrate the clouds and reach the sky.
In history, there was a human kingdom that did this and was considered to be challenging the power of the gods. Not only was the tower destroyed, but the entire kingdom was completely destroyed within a day.
To be precise, it happened not within a day, but within a breath. People at that time had not yet reacted. They felt the sudden rise in temperature and were about to look outside when they were evaporated in an instant by the huge and terrifying energy.
It is said that the continent still has holes left by the divine attack.
The Age of Gods was not a place to live. Life was in danger at any moment. Not to mention humans, even the goblins, who were slightly stronger than humans, could not escape the fate of destruction.
Nowadays, people always think of danger in times of peace, and they can't help but think of the past.
Fili lowered his head and turned his hands over. The devil's contract was deeply engraved like a tattoo, which was both a threat and a sense of security.
Using the abnormal to deal with the abnormal is the second most important means of survival for humans after learning to use tools. The complex history of mankind is the history of human survival.
Entering the human era, it seems like dawn has arrived and we are about to enter the glory that belongs to mankind.
However, Fili knew that current human civilization was still too fragile.
"Without the protection of the abyss, once the gods in heaven return, the future will be disastrous."
Fili's face was serious, and he said, "It's even possible that they are already planning it."
The frequent A-level abnormal alarms these days are a sign of impending storm.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the brave man is temporarily in the imperial city.
Fili gathered his thoughts and calmed down his emotions. After a moment, he hurried to the palace, reminding everyone to be on high alert along the way.
Fili is a well-known rational legion commander.
His low mood certainly affected other soldiers.
They were all aware of the current threat, and their faces were heavy as they walked by.
Some people looked at the sky from time to time, fearing that there would be winged human figures or monsters in it.
The old soldier even said, "Be careful of the angels."
The white clouds are floating, the wind is blowing hard from time to time, and in the gloomy weather, there seems to be a hint of instability.
-
at the same time.
In the library of the Brave Memorial Hall, Xius was flipping through the biographies of the brave men one by one.
Seeing his once vivid experiences turned into black and white words on the book, Xiu Si felt melancholy.
Fortunately, he did gain something. There is an incident recorded in Roger's biography.
——"The brave Roger was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and the system collapsed and became unresponsive. After three months of recuperation, the system finally returned to normal and responded."
Xiu Si paused. From this passage, it seems that the game system is automatically repaired and nothing you do can help.
So I just have to wait?
Zeus took another look at the gray game panel and felt as if time had stopped at the moment of collapse, with no sign of recovery at all.
The game system is essentially a creation of magic, and its current state is likely due to the fact that the inner magic logic has been damaged.
What should I do? I don't know such delicate magic.
Hughes thought about it and continued turning the pages, thinking that there might be other ways.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of books falling to the ground.
Hughes turned his head towards the direction of the sound and saw the bookshelf collapse and a pile of books fell from it.
At the same time, someone suddenly appeared, raised a hand, activated magic power, controlled the bookshelf, and slowly pushed it back to its original position. Then, the magic power also wrapped around the books, arranging them neatly one by one.
After finishing, she seemed to notice Xius's gaze, raised her pair of blue eyes and looked straight at him.
Just looking at her appearance, the way she was wrapped up in a hooded outfit had already exposed her identity.
This is a unique outfit for magicians, and her robe is an elegant purple color, which is enough to show that she is a magician of at least level 50.
He looks to be in his thirties or forties, with blond hair and fair skin, which are the most common features of the people of the Ottoman Empire.
Zeus sighed in his heart, the magician's attire has remained unchanged since ancient times and can be seen at a glance.
Perhaps it was because his eyes were too dull, the other party tilted his head, not quite understanding what he was thinking.
A few minutes later.
They chatted in the library.
The magician Xili is a friendly and enthusiastic person, and she tells Xiusi that she came here for a breakthrough in magic.
Hughes took the opportunity to ask questions about the system.
Xili: "How do I restore the system magic?"
Hughes: “Yes, I would like to know.”
Xi Li shook her head and said, "I'm not sure."
"Yeah?"
Xiu Si thought that even a magician couldn't solve the problem. Could his system really be completely broken? Without the game system, could he still be considered a player?
Xili thought, "However, I believe that the essence of any magic is mental power and the control of mental power. As long as we can control this, we may be able to restore magic."
Xius was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Ms. Xili seemed very satisfied with his learning attitude and continued, "Magic almost never improves. It reaches perfection from the beginning. The basic logic of magic in different eras will not be much different."
In terms of "no progress", it's not just magic. In this world, humans have almost no ability to create new knowledge, and they have to seek new knowledge from outside.
Zeus didn't care at all at first, thinking it was just a game setting. After awakening, he found that this setting was too outrageous.
Legend has it that in order to suppress human development, the gods deprived humans of their ability to think upward, especially their creativity. The productivity revolution that is in full swing today does not use knowledge that comes from human thinking and experience, but is brought back from the warp by the expeditionary force.
As a Blue Star person, Xiu Si really couldn't imagine this situation. The humans here are difficult in every sense.
"Thank you very much."
He thanked Xili.
Xili smiled and said generously: "It's just a small thing. I'm glad I could help you."
They chatted for a while, and then Xili said she had something to do and left.
Zeus stayed where he was, deep in thought, repeating the word "mental power" over and over again, trying to use the magician's method of deep meditation to drive the system in his brain.
He didn't know that outside the Brave Memorial, the Brave Warrior Roger turned around and met the eyes of the Abyss Lord Eliog.
The two sides stared at each other in silence, as if this was not the first time they had confronted each other.
Eliog turned his head and stared at the memorial, with a strong feeling surging in his heart.
The other side.
Zeus closed his eyes, concentrated his mental strength, and tried to awaken the remaining power in his brain.
His mental power was so strong that before long, what would have taken an ordinary magician hours to successfully penetrate a mind, he was able to do in just a few minutes.
Then, more than ten minutes later, the gray panel in front of him suddenly glowed, and a long string of characters popped up.
[Ding! Congratulations on restarting the Brave Game]
[Dear players, dear brave Mr. Xius, long time no see, how are you? 】
The notifications are full of constantly refreshing reminders.
But Xius didn't care about all that. As soon as the game system restarted, he immediately opened the creation sequence panel.
Why? Do you even need to ask?
He wants to know how his pups are doing!
