In Houlier City, Talia, who was lying on the table, suddenly opened her eyes.
She has been writing theoretical papers all night recently, and finally revised the first draft last night, but because she was too tired for the past few days, she fell asleep on the table after finishing the last stroke in the early morning.
But the startled awakening at this time was not because she had had enough sleep, but because she suddenly had a strange premonition—she looked around with some doubts, and murmured in a low voice: "What does this mean..."
As if afraid that she would forget, Talia casually picked up the pen on the table, quickly drew a few strokes on the blank manuscript paper next to her, and then stared blankly for a few seconds: she didn't know what she drew was What, I just feel that this seems to be the image of that thing in the dream.
But it was just an insignificant dream. Talia turned her gaze back and realized that after sleeping on her stomach all night, her neck and back were so sore.
After standing up and rubbing for a long time, she thought about going to wash up, but the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Talia tilted her head and looked over with her toothbrush, raising her eyebrows: "Sylvia? What's the matter?"
Sylvia wore a magic robe that would never change, but her eyes were a little worried. Because she had just received a notification from Mage Edith, and was told that there was an "abnormality" in Talia-usually this meant that the "demon attack" had intensified.
Under layers of protection and various measures, Talia has been extremely stable recently, and when something suddenly happens to her, it often means that the demon forces will take further actions.
Sylvia really didn't want the "war" to intensify. She was worried that she thought Talia would have some serious reaction, but when she saw Talia holding a toothbrush, she was stunned: "You... body feeling well enough?"
"Okay, it's just that I stayed up too late last night and slept on the table, and now my neck hurts badly."
Talia rinsed her mouth, tied up her hair and walked out of the bathroom: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Just now there was an early warning from the Demon Tower, which seems to be related to the fluctuation of the demon, so I came to ask if you have any reaction-but it seems that you are... quite normal?"
Sylvia was also a little confused. Normally, Edith would not lie to her, but Talia's appearance was indeed the same as before.
"Variation? Was it detected by the magic circle? I didn't notice it, but..."
Talia was suddenly stunned as she spoke. She remembered the reason why she just woke up, and said without reservation: "I did wake up suddenly just now, and it felt very strange—I couldn't remember the content of the dream, so I vaguely I remember a guy I knew was coming to see me, but I didn't like that guy very much..."
Her descriptions were vague, but Sylvia didn't dare to take it lightly, and asked nervously, "What guy? Your friend before you came to Holy City?"
Talia froze, and then said: "I really don't remember other friends except Naifei, even Mage Ethan is wrong—ah, by the way, I just thought the content of the dream was strange, so I drew a picture .”
Sylvia hurried forward a few steps, looked at the contents of the painting, and asked hesitantly, "This is... a tree?"
"I don't know why I saw this thing, it's red, it looks weird, and it's disgusting."
"What does this have to do with that friend of yours?"
"I don't know either. What I thought in my head was that guy came to me, but what I saw was this. I can't remember other details."
Talia had already finished washing her face. Seeing Sylvia's serious face, she gradually realized something was wrong: "Is this... a little troublesome?"
"I don't know if it counts, but it must be reported... After changing clothes, I will take you there."
"Okay, I'll pack it up now."
Talia has such a self-consciousness. After all, she has been receiving "treatment" from the magic tower for several months, and she has lived comfortably here, and her spell level and spiritual power have greatly improved—she attributes all the credit to the tolerance here And support, so the decisions of the top are all supported from the heart.
Sylvia went to wait for her outside the door, and did not forget to ask: "By the way, how is your thesis going?"
"The draft has just been revised, and I'm thinking about whether to..."
"This is an opportunity, let them take a look first - it's better to have the advice of the dragon lord than to guess it yourself, right?"
"Ah...you're right, I'll take the paper with me!"
Talia put on the robe, combed her messy hair, picked up a stack of papers titled "On the Feasibility of Mental Fluctuation Controlling Low-level Demons" and followed Sylvia's footsteps, quickly heading towards the Go above the magic tower.
And Rody, who was sitting in the conference room, was reading the battle report that just came from outside the city of Florence. When he saw the familiar word "Sauron", he was in a daze for a moment...
Once upon a time, Sauron, the "King of Thousand Axes" of the orcs, was a powerful existence like a God of War in the hearts of players. In several battles, his tactics and bravery made the defense of the Karen Kingdom useless—but now, the opponent not only He was driven to the other side of the deep mountains and old forests by himself, and even today when the demons attacked, he was directly captured by a team of 300 people.
This is definitely not because the opponent is too weak, but because... the times have changed.
The scenes of face-to-face battles with Sauron in the past are vivid, but now there is a difference between the two parties regardless of their level or the resources they control. The encounter of fate made Rody lament the changes he brought to "history" .
But he didn't dare to underestimate Sauron's ability at all. Looking at the short battle report, Rody frowned and asked, "What happened in Florence? I didn't see the relevant analysis reported by Davidian... As the great chief, Sauron, How could he leave with the team suddenly? The number of people in the encounter was 1,500 to 1,600? Just hand over the city he just took?"
"Master Prime Minister... The information in Florence was provided by the 'Intelligence Bureau', but there has been no update until now..."
Roddy raised his eyebrows: "If you have any questions, just tell me."
"The staff department was speculating just now whether something happened in the city of Florence, which caused the orcs to evacuate in a hurry—but because there is no further news, it is difficult to confirm at present."
"Continue to investigate and tell Soderol that there is no need to change the plan for the Fortress of Les. I don't want to keep an orc lair there and continue to develop."
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister."
Rody exhaled, and was thinking about whether to go to the research department next, when he suddenly realized that the "task bar" was flashing a reminder.
After a period of time, the prompts on his "task bar" have never stopped, because now he controls a huge land, and the tasks in the task bar are often piled up to one or two hundred, and Rody often has no time to look carefully. Just glance at it, confirm that it is a word like "destroy the devil", and then close it.
