The interrogation continues without interruption.
Black Dragon City has a special interrogation team, and they want to dig out as much information as possible from the minds of these five hundred prisoners.
Maps outside the fog, camp power divisions, extraordinary paths, names of gods, famous strong men, steam technology and so on...
Black Dragon City has been closed for tens of thousands of years and knows nothing about the outside world.
Now, a window opens.
They absorb all information from the outside world like a whale.
... ... .
A few hours later, the first round of preliminary interrogations was completed.
The high-level officials of Black Dragon City gathered together for a meeting and summarized the information obtained.
In the secret meeting room under the city hall, there is a huge round table.
Since the day it was built, there have never been so many people sitting here.
At the head seat of the round table, Ren was sitting there with a serious expression.
In other positions on the round table, the core management of Black Dragon City, Ymir, Kavo, Mafa, Udo, Kanosha, Ilubek, Tust, Metternich... all sat with solemn expressions. over there.
Everyone took their seats, and Renne personally presided over this high-level meeting and narrated the general information gathered.
"The outside world calls our area of Ice Ridge Wasteland the 'Gods Abandoned Ruins'. It was the main battlefield of the 'Hundred Races War' that destroyed several powerful civilizations tens of thousands of years ago. According to my speculation, it should be where we started. The war in which [Black Emperor] Moises led the seventy-two divine generals and fought against the Three-Eyed Clan from the murals in the ruins..."
Everyone listened and frowned in deep thought.
This is a very huge crisis.
A little carelessness can lead to catastrophe.
Renn continued: "Now it seems that the only airship display that has entered the Ice Ridge Wasteland is the one we captured. The situation is not too bad, but it is also very urgent. We don't have much time left in Black Dragon City."
"First of all, the 'Blood Shark Phantom Thieves' already know the existence of our Ice Ridge Wasteland and the existence of the 'Black Emperor's Tomb'. Although the strength of the Phantom Thieves is not frightening, we have to rule out that this news may Spread on a large scale..."
"..."
Everyone listened and nodded slightly.
After all, this Ice Ridge Wasteland has a limit of the fifth level of the Extraordinary. A group of Phantom Thieves whose strongest ability is the sixth level of Extraordinary is not something to be afraid of.
What's more, it seems that the combat power of extraordinary people outside the territory is greatly reduced. The sixth level of Transcendence is not invincible to the top masters of Black Dragon City.
However, those forces with truly god-level experts should not be underestimated.
For example, the "Holy Light Alliance" is in serious trouble right now!
The legendary god-level powerhouse is said to be able to kill a seventh- or eighth-level high-level extraordinary person with just one finger.
For the top powerhouses in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, level 5 or above and level 6 can barely be considered as a level of strength that they can figure out.
But extraordinary abilities above the seventh level are completely beyond cognition.
... ...
"Then there's the 'Kingdom of Glory'!"
Having said this, Renn paused.
He expressed his guess and said: "Based on the interrogation information, the 'Holy Light Alliance' where the three-eyed evil god from outside the territory is located has launched a war. Its purpose, I guess, is most likely to target our Ice Ridge Wasteland. Come. Those guys in Glory City should have contacted the outside world through the coming will of the three-eyed evil god... This is the biggest hidden danger we have to face now!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became very dull.
Everyone seemed to feel an invisible pressure on their hearts.
An indescribably powerful god that no one can afford to despise.
The enemies outside the territory are powerful and complex. In comparison, these extraordinary beings in the Ice Ridge Wasteland are so small.
The powerful "Munkel Civilization" back then would be destroyed, so what's the point of talking about them now
... ... .
Ren mentioned Glory City. At this time, the Great Witch of Marfa spoke, "From the intelligence, the gods outside the territory will develop followers in human territory. And the cause of many wars in the outside world is actually the battle between believers and the battle of faith." Fight..."
He expressed his opinion and said: "Regarding faith, there are some fragments left from our Coleman tribe. It is said that ancient gods can enhance their own divine power by collecting faith. And believers who believe in a certain god can also get the power of the god. Favor and guidance. This was originally a win-win choice. But the methods of the three-eyed gods in Glory City are obviously evil gods... "
Of all the people here, only the Coleman tribe has true belief in gods.
Only they have the final say on the topic.
However, the beliefs of the Coleman people are very pure, and they are based entirely on customs and their reverence for their ancestors.
Rather than the evil method of Glory City that tampered with people's cognition.
Hearing this, everyone else nodded and expressed their attitude: "Yes. The problem in Glory City must be solved as soon as possible..."
How to solve it is another big problem.
In the previous battle in the Imperial Capital of Omar, Renn killed the missionary in front of the high-level officials of Omar, exposing the conspiracy of the evil god's belief. Glory City's plan to secretly tamper with the knowledge of high-ranking nobles, spread the belief in evil gods, and rule the Ice Ridge Wasteland completely failed.
For more than a year, the three forces of Black Dragon City, Sid and Omar have also strictly guarded against the spread of faith and banned the spread of all faiths in the territory. This has curbed the spread of the evil god's faith.
I thought that Glory City should stop, and that the evil god faith might die on its own.
I didn't expect that there would be forces from outside the realm now.
The consequences are already foreseeable.
Once the war outside the territory spreads to the "Gods Abandoned Ruins", the Ice Ridge Wasteland may face a large group of Three-Eyed tribesmen from outside the territory.
By then, it may not be one airship, but countless airships...
Even if the legal restrictions of the fifth level of extraordinary beings are broken, and the true god-level extraordinary comes, that will be the end of all mankind in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.
At this time, Metternich, who had been silent, had a cold light in his eyes and expressed his opinion: "I think, no matter what happens in the future, the best choice right now... is to get rid of Glory City directly. "
... ... .
The issue of Glory City has not yet been discussed, and everyone has turned to other issues.
Renn: "Okay, everyone can share their opinions..."
Irubek: "I focused on asking some medical questions during the interrogation. I found that the overseas medical system is a little ahead of us, but the gap is not big. They are mainly ahead in research equipment, but in fact in the medical field The research is not too advanced..."
There are extraordinary powers in this world, so the slow development of medical research is to be expected.
After all, most medical problems can be solved by the extraordinary healing system. With such convenient access, few people would bother to study medicine.
In terms of strength, top-level extraordinary ones also have many advantages over machines.
So, the situation is similar in the mechanical field.
Tust also said: "The situation in the field of science and technology is similar. The main uses of steam machinery outside the territory are similar to ours. They are mostly used to build airships, cities and large-scale wars. There are very few in the field of high-end machinery, perhaps because those monster thieves have disappeared. I have come into contact with stronger ones, but in general, it is not much better than the technology we have now. However, I have also heard that in some remote areas of the outer world, there are goblin and dwarf groups that do not have much contact with human territory. , there are also very advanced black technologies..."
This is also good news.
There is no crushing level gap in technological level. If a large-scale war breaks out in the future, Black Dragon City will also have certain advantages.
At least in terms of air combat, Black Dragon City's existing flying dragon legions and mechanical airships are capable of fighting.
At this time, Cavo also said: "The magic system outside the territory is very strong. I got a few scrolls and spells of six-ring magic... I have roughly understood the power of six-ring magic. If possible, I want to At the end of my life, I will go out and have a look... If I can break through to the sixth extraordinary level, maybe I can understand something that is blocked by the laws of heaven and earth... "
The field of magic studied by Master Cavo is pure extraordinary power.
In this regard, there is an absolute gap between the Ice Ridge Wasteland and the outside world.
The fifth extraordinary level and the divine level, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.
At least, if they don't step out, this gap will never narrow.
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a sense of urgency.
Not only do they want to prevent enemies from coming in, but they also want to go out and see the outside world.
They must become stronger in order to be able to protect themselves in future changes.
... ... .
This secret meeting lasted for most of the day, from morning to evening.
When the senior executives of Black Dragon City walked out of the conference hall, all of them had solemn faces.
The interrogation of the prisoners of the "Red Shark Group" is still continuing, and there are still a lot of things to be dealt with tomorrow, as well as meetings.
His mind accepted too much information at once, which made Renn, a guy who almost ignored political affairs and had been practicing asceticism, a little uncomfortable.
Walking out of the council chamber, Canossa walked side by side with him.
She looked at Ren's frown and asked with a smile: "Why, are you still thinking about things outside the territory?"
"yes."
Ren looked at Canosha and smiled.
After not seeing each other for several months, this lady became more and more beautiful. With her decent cheongsam and exquisite makeup, she makes people unable to take their eyes away from her at any time.
From the time the alarm sounded, to the battle, to now, my nerves have been tense.
Now that the meeting is over, we have time to say hello.
Hearing this, Canosha raised his eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone: "I don't think it's all a crisis. On the contrary, this is an opportunity. If those guys from outside the territory don't come here, maybe we will spend our whole lives thinking that the Five The ladder is the end of the transcendent. Now... we see a wider sky."
She was in a good state of mind, her eyes sparkling as if she was looking forward to it, and she added: "Now that I'm sure there is such a wonderful world outside, I want to see it more and more..."
After all, any extraordinary person who can advance to the "Legendary" level has not experienced the horror between life and death.
Although the current situation was urgent, it did not make her feel too stressed.
Come and fight.
This is the heart of the strong.
After a pause, Canosha glanced at Ren and asked, "What about you?"
"I've always wanted to go out and have a look."
Probably influenced by Canossa's optimistic attitude, the depression in Renn's heart was swept away.
crisis
On the contrary, he agreed more with Canossa's words.
This is a crisis, not an opportunity.
An opportunity to see this magical and otherworldly world.
Canosha looked at his relaxed brows and smiled again: "It's been so long since I last saw you. As the Lord of the City, why don't you treat me to a drink?"
Renn happily agreed: "Okay, 'Black Dragon Tavern'!"
... ...
Today's Black Dragon City has one of the most lively and prosperous nightclubs in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.
Xicheng District has a tavern and a bustling entertainment district called "Maple Leaf Street", where there are hundreds of taverns, bathhouses and romantic places.
Liquor tax is also the bulk of Black Dragon City's tax revenue.
This street has also created a lot of financial revenue for Black Dragon City.
Elsewhere, pubs are expensive. Those who have spare money to hang out in taverns are either nobles or hunters who risk their lives to make money.
Common people simply don't have the capital for entertainment.
In Black Dragon City, taverns are daily consumption that anyone can afford.
Whether you are a craftsman, a guard, or a gardener... you can spend a few small bucks and drink several times better in the tavern.
Residents now have money in their pockets, and spiritual entertainment has become a necessity.
The entertainment industry in Black Dragon City is becoming more and more prosperous.
It is now evening, and "Maple Leaf Street", which has been silent all day, is gradually waking up.
At night, this street is most noisy and lively.
Not long after, a luxurious motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the "Black Dragon Tavern".
Ren and Canosha got out of the car hand in hand.
In order not to be recognized, Renn wore a "Zorro-style" half-face mask, and Canosha's face was covered with a veil.
This is the busiest tavern in Black Dragon City.
The waiter at the door did not recognize the two people and enthusiastically ushered them in.
The lights in the tavern were dim and hazy, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere.
Although I arrived early, the tavern was already 70% full.
The heavy metal music shook the eardrums, and the young men and women on the dance floor boldly kissed and caressed each other. There is a faint smell of alcohol in the air, and the smell of restless hormones...
Scantily clad tavern girls shuttled through the tavern, and occasionally their butts were pinched by drunken drinkers, but they would just chuckle and pass by.
Here, people can feel happy physically and mentally.
Renn gave the waiter a tip, and then the two of them were arranged to a booth in a corner.
I ordered expensive drinks and the bartender smiled broadly.
The professional girls who had been hanging out in the tavern all year round naturally knew at a glance that the generous Renne must be a "kei", but looking at Canosha next to him, all the seductive girls with heavy makeup lost the courage to approach him and strike up a conversation.
Even with a mask covering half of her face, Canosha's proud aura would eclipse anyone of the opposite sex around her.
Just by looking at it, I lost the courage to compare.
The design of the pub is very clever. This kind of corner can see the dance floor at a glance and ensure the privacy of the guests.
Suitable for some intimate actions.
Canosha took a seat, and Ren was not polite.
He did not sit across from her, but sat side by side.
Canossa took a sip of wine and didn't care that the guy hugged her slender waist unceremoniously.
"how are things?"
"The project on Sid's side has been completely completed, and there will be no need to go back for a long time in the future. Moreover, most of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are now taken care of by Aunt Catherine. I will probably stay in Black Dragon City for a long time in the future. ..”
"Oh? Aunt Catherine is the vice president now?"
"yes"
"..."
The two of them drank and talked about old times.
We haven’t seen each other for a few months and there is a lot to say.
The music in the tavern was very loud, and the conversation was more like making love.
While chatting, Canosha asked again: "What about you, my dear Lord City Lord. How are you doing lately?"
Renn naturally knew that she wanted to ask about his situation, but he deliberately didn't say anything. Instead, he said quietly: "I have achieved the 'Shen Gang Realm'..."
"..."
Hearing this, Canossa rolled her eyes at him.
She tilted her head and looked at Ren, a charming smile flashed across her eyes, her red lips parted lightly, and she said, "What next?"
