Golden Spring Fort.
In the evening, Tianyang, who had not yet had dinner, was planning to go out for a walk by himself when there was a knock on the door.
Chiying opened the door and Olgali appeared at the door. Tonight, the female general took off her armor and changed into a more neutral beige coat with a black undershirt, dark brown trousers and black boots. Her blonde hair was braided into a long braid and tied into a bow with red silk cloth.
"Would you like to have dinner together, Lord Tianyang?" Olgari, who possessed the 'Eyes of the Silver Dragon', asked bluntly.
Tianyang smiled and nodded: "I just don't know where to eat."
"Follow me." Olgali winked and led the way.
They walked on the streets of the island city. The temperature in Jinquanbao was relatively hot. The clothes of the islanders were generally loose. Women mostly wore wide long clothes. When the night wind blew, the clothes stuck to the body, outlining charming curves. Men mostly wore wide-leg pants. The two fat and wide trouser legs had enough space to keep their legs from feeling stuffy.
Although the people of Jinquan Fort have the outlines of the people of the Western Land, their skin is generally darker, which is very different from the Western Land people like Olgali whose skin is so white that it seems to glow. The skin of women is mainly light brown, and they will decorate themselves with brightly colored lipstick, eye shadow and even hair color.
Just as Tianyang had heard before, the girls in Jinquanbao were generally enthusiastic and bold. When walking on the street, the girls passing by Tianyang would boldly look at him as a outsider, and some would even smile at him with curious eyes.
Finally arriving at the restaurant, Olgali skillfully ordered some staple food and drinks, and then said to Tianyang: "The food at Jinquanbao is mainly fish and shrimp. I hope you will get used to it."
Tianyang smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
Soon, the waiter brought the drink. Tianyang took a sip of the golden liquid in the cup with bubbles coming out of it. It tasted sweet and refreshing, and it was even more refreshing and appetizing when paired with lemon juice.
Olgali also took a sip of the drink and said, "This is sweetwood wine, made from the juice of a plant called sweetwood and other fruit juices."
"I've heard of it, and today I finally got to taste it." Tian Yang put down the cup and said, "I heard it's easy to get drunk."
Olgaly smiled with her eyebrows curved. "That's because it doesn't taste like wine at all. Even the children in Golden Spring Fort often drink it as water. So you see, the people in this fortress almost grew up in a wine barrel."
Tianyang was shocked.
"The Lord of Tianyang City should know about the Niguang Cult, right?" Olgari asked casually after taking another sip of sweet wood wine.
Tian Yang nodded slightly and said solemnly: "The Niguang Religion is the state religion of the Silver Empire. After the Silver Empire split, the Niguang Religion also fell apart. The current Lord of War Church was born out of the Niguang Religion."
Olgali smiled and said, "Nothing you say now will surprise me. That's right, the Reverse Light Cult is the state religion of the Silver Empire."
"The sanctuary of the Reverse Light Cult, the 'Lightless Hall', was located in Arati. It is rumored that the Reverse Light Cult collected the 'Dusk Slabs'. Later, when Arati fell, the 'Dusk Slabs' collected by the Reverse Light Cult were buried in the Lightless Hall."
"The Lightless Hall is located under Arati. If it still exists, it should be protecting the stone slab in darkness now."
“That stone slab is the main target of our exploration this time, or in other words, our next exploration.
”
Tian Yang was slightly surprised and asked, "Dusk Slate?"
At this time, the main dishes they ordered arrived.
First, there was an astonishingly large plate with slices of dehydrated vegetables on the plate and a steaming grilled fish on top. There was a layer of juice under the grilled fish, which was absorbed by the dehydrated vegetables, reducing the greasiness of the fish.
The waiter took out a variety of spices and sprinkled them on the grilled fish in various ways. They immediately mixed into a strong aroma. The smell made Tianyang's appetite increase, and he had the urge to eat a big bite.
Then, there were prawns fried until golden brown with egg yolk mixed with flour bran, steamed crab with no too much seasoning to emphasize the original flavor, and fresh and smooth meat fillet made with shrimp and fish mixed with egg white... Various kinds of delicious food were constantly placed on the table, plus corresponding seasonings, snacks, and fruit platters. Suddenly, Tianyang and his friends' table was almost covered with food.
"Try it." Olgari used a knife, fork and other cutlery to cut a piece of grilled fish for herself and placed it on a white porcelain plate.
Tianyang first took a sip of sweet wood wine to moisten his throat, and then tasted a piece of fish. He felt that the surface of the grilled fish was crispy with a few hints of burnt aroma, and the fish meat underneath was delicious. When he chewed, the flavors of various spices overflowed along with the gravy. It was diverse but not messy, with distinct layers, and was unexpectedly delicious.
Then Tianyang tried fried shrimps, steamed crab roe, pork fillet, etc. He praised the food highly and thought that he must bring his family to Jinquanbao to taste it again after returning.
"The Dusk Slates are the most valuable things in the Reverse Realm. It is said that they record the secrets of the Reverse Realm. The four major churches and each super fortress have the habit of collecting Dusk Slates."
Olga thought Tianyang didn't know about the Dusk Slate, so she explained it to him while enjoying the food.
"If we get the Dusk Slate and sell it to any church or super fortress, we will be able to obtain a large amount of rich strategic resources."
"Lord Tianyang, do you know where the first Dusk Slate was found?"
Tianyang shook his head frankly, indicating that he didn't know.
"It was found in the Reverse Realm No. 2, which was formerly Oasis City and now Fiery Sun Castle. It was found from the Claf Gate in your fortress." Olgari stopped and looked at Tianyang.
Tianyang's pupils slightly dilated: "Is this true?"
"Yes."
Olgaly recalled: "In the early years when the Krav Gate first appeared, there was no concept of a fortress, and the Krav Gate was mostly ownerless. The exploration and development of the Reverse Realm was basically carried out in a rotational manner, with teams from different forces taking turns to enter the Reverse Realm."
"At that time, the first Klav Gate was in the hands of the Silver Empire. The King of Conquerors was not satisfied with the development of one world, so he set his sights on the Klav Gate in Oasis City."
"Of course, Oasis City was not yet within the Silver Empire's territory, so the 'King of Conquerors' proposed that Oasis City be incorporated into the empire. When his proposal was rejected, the emperor launched a war, and in just two months, Oasis City became the empire's possession."
"After taking control of Clave Gate No. 2, the emperor personally led the expedition and after many explorations, he brought back the first Dusk Slate from behind the gate. That slate eventually became a collection of the Reverse Light Cult."
Tian Yang suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
He looked at Olga again and smiled, "Is it okay to tell me such important news?"
Olga Li smiled faintly and said: "This is Lord Andre, or
Some say that it was Madam Kaqila's idea. We believe in the character and credibility of the Lord of Tianyang City, and we also hope that our two fortresses will form an alliance and stick together in the future."
"Therefore, even if it is secret information like this, we are willing to share it with the Lord of Tianyang City. If the Dusk Slate is discovered, we will share the proceeds fairly with your castle."
Tianyang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. Originally, according to his idea, since the so-called "Lightless Hall" might contain the Dusk Slate, he would not be polite. After entering Yarati, he would try to find the location of the hall, and then explore it in depth to get the secret treasure.
Now seeing that Olgali was so frank and even shared such important information with him, it seemed that she really regarded him as an important ally.
If I continue to plot against that stone slab in secret, it would seem like I am a mean person.
After thinking about it, Tianyang decided that if he found the stone tablet, he would read the information on it, and then make it public, and share the profits with Silver Dragon Castle, just as the 'travel fee' for bringing him to Yarati.
The next day at noon, after they had lunch, the fleet left Jinquan Fort.
After sailing like this for three or four days, Tianyang was practicing the alien body's permanent residence in the cabin when he suddenly heard the faint sound of cannons coming from the sea in the distance.
He immediately brought Chiying to the deck. On the deck, Olgali, wearing armor, had already arrived early and was observing into the distance with a telescope.
Hearing the footsteps, Olga turned around and saw that it was Tianyang. The female general nodded.
"What's wrong?" Tianyang asked directly.
Olgali said with a cold face: "Our water platform was attacked. I just communicated with the platform. It turned out that some pirates saw our offshore platform and thought we were developing offshore oil here. Therefore, they attacked our platform and wanted to occupy the platform to gain bargaining chips in negotiations with us."
The female general snorted and said, "I'll make them pay the price!"
Tianyang nodded, without hesitation about Olga's strength.
At the same time, I was curious about where the pirates got the courage to attack the water platform of Silver Dragon Castle.
Soon, the water platform was in sight. Tianyang got the information about the pirates and was a little surprised. There were nearly 2,000 pirates and nearly 200 ships of all sizes, including battleships.
It seems that the pirates spent a lot of money to capture this platform.
The water platform built by Silver Dragon Castle is like a base on the sea. Now the platform is surrounded by pirate ships. Although many pirate ships have been sunk, the largest battleships have not been damaged. It is obvious that the pirates still retain their strength.
At this time, a great pirate named Pirate received news that a fleet was heading for the water platform. Pirate was originally the lord of a fortress in the west, but later that fortress was annexed by a nearby fortress due to poor management.
Pirat drifted to the sea and started from scratch with the help of his initial group of supporters. Now he has developed into one of the most powerful pirates on the sea.
It was he who discovered the water platform and planned and organized the attack. As a former city lord, Pilat had vision and organizational skills that other pirates did not have, so he also served as the commander of this operation.
Now that the reinforcements from Silver Dragon Castle have arrived, Pilat, with his cheek muscles visibly sagging, snorted coldly and said, "What are you afraid of? Pass the order down, keep suppressing the firepower on the platform, and the rest of you follow me, let's drive the Silver Dragon Castle fleet back!"
