Today, as we were about to set off, the sun rose exceptionally early.
I opened the window and saw that the sky outside was still gray and there seemed to be a light fog.
Tianyang took out the bottle containing the black pupil's hair, took out the strand of black hair, held it in his hand, and summoned Yexing.
About 5 minutes later, Tianyang felt something unusual. Then, electronic symbols appeared on the walls of the hall one after another. They became more and more numerous and combined to form a female figure.
He bowed, and then Tianyang prepared the communication device next to him, and an electronically synthesized voice rang out: "Good morning, great master. At this moment when the dawn has not yet arrived and the night has just left, I am both terrified and honored to receive your call as a servant. I wonder what I can do for you, the supreme Son of the Night."
Having become immune to Ye Xing's flattery and feeling that he had become very thick-skinned, Tian Yang said without any expression: "I will leave the fortress for a while. Let me confirm something with you first. If I am in the adverse world, can I still get in touch with you?"
"No problem, but since we have to cross two worlds, we can't communicate in real time, and the transmission of information will be delayed to varying degrees."
"Simply put, the deeper you go into the inverse, the higher the information delay will be."
Tian Yang thought about it for a while before saying, "If it's just a delay, then it's not a big problem. In that case, I have a few things for you to do."
"At your service at any time." The figure on the wall made a joyful gesture to express his excitement and anticipation.
Tianyang controlled the muscles on his face and didn't make any out-of-place expressions. He walked slowly to the window, his voice low and deep like a quietly flowing stream: "First, I want you to pay attention to the changes in the downtown area and whether the Hunger Ball intends to hold a secret party again. I will tell you the corresponding codes. If you find these codes, contact me in time."
"Second, I remember you said that you could sneak into the fortress's database and investigate another matter while digging for information about the 'Expedition Plan'. Investigate the relevant information about the Black King 17 years ago and send it to me."
"Third, monitor Wuying. When they have a rally, tell me the content of the rally. Don't miss any details."
"The above is what you have to do."
Ye Xing sent out his reply using the communicator: "Please rest assured, great master, Ye Xing will definitely help you get these things done."
Next, Tianyang told it the contact code of the Hunger Ball and ended the summons. The electronic symbols on the wall disappeared one by one, and the communicator no longer made any sound on its own.
After doing all this, outside the window, a faint golden light was already pouring out from the clouds in the distant sky.
Fortress Cemetery.
Fully armed and equipped, Tianyang came here and came to his mother's tombstone.
He cleared away the leaves and dust near the tombstone, closed his eyes in the quiet and bright morning light, clasped his hands together, and communicated with his mother from the bottom of his heart.
"Mom, I have to go on a mission today. I probably won't be able to visit you for a long time."
"I have investigated Su Lie and obtained many clues about him. Through these clues, I have almost pieced together the outline of the events of that year."
"Su Lie didn't mean to leave you behind. He chose to enter the world of adversity and disappeared for 17 years. Half of it was forced, and the other half, I believe, was for
You made this choice.'
'Because he believed that if the tomb was in the hands of the higher-ups, the fortress would change. Perhaps that change would be fatal.'
'The kind of fatality that would threaten you, so he chose to leave. The reason why he left and walked into the Clave Gate was because he loved you too much.'
'I don't know if he is still alive, I don't know if he is still in the adverse world. If I meet him, if I meet him in my original identity.'
'Don't worry, Mom. I will tell him, tell him that you have been waiting for him all these years.'
'You also... have always loved him deeply.'
Tianyang opened his eyes, stroked the cold stone tablet, stood up and said: "I'm leaving. I will come to see you as soon as I come back."
"See you next time, Mom."
... ... ...
Shangcheng District, transfer platform.
When Tianyang arrived, he found that he was not the first, but also not the last.
The captain of the Highland Eagles, Liang Sen, has arrived and is giving a speech to his team members.
Tianyang nodded slightly to him as a greeting, and then he didn't wait too long on the deck before members of the 'Galaxy' team arrived one after another.
After experiencing the defense battle of the Star Vein Land, Sean from the Silver Dragon Fort in the West Land, and Qiulong who came from the fortress, both made great progress.
Their gazes became more determined, with a gleam in their eyes. Although that battle did not allow them to advance immediately, it also greatly increased their progress in sublimation.
As for Gu Ming, he is now a Level 2 Elemental Heart, and can use the 'Elemental Javelins' skillfully to support his teammates in battle.
Although Yan Bing is not an ascender, the combat power provided by his exoskeleton armor is even stronger than that of Gu Ming, a level 2 elemental heart. Especially today, his armor is a little different from the last time, and it seems to have been upgraded.
Other teams arrived one after another, and a moment later, the medical team represented by Xun also arrived at the transfer platform.
As expected, the people responsible for protecting Xun were Major Zhu Huang and her team.
Liang Sen looked around the room and said loudly, "We can set off when the church's troops arrive. The rest of the expeditionary force, including the supply vehicles, have already entered the Reverse Realm and are being sent to the Lighthouse Base."
"We will gather at the lighthouse base and then set off."
Kun Lan took out his communicator and looked at the time on the screen impatiently: "The church is really slow. It's almost time to leave, and there's still no sign of anyone."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw several magnetic vehicles used exclusively by the church drive into the entrance of the transfer platform.
The magnetic car was parked not far from the crowd, and if the Kraft Gate was used as a reference, the church's vehicle could be seen as parked behind the crowd.
This subtle, almost imperceptible action made Tianyang have some uncertain associations.
Is this a veiled tribute by the Church to the fortress
Most people may not feel anything. But if you know, 17 years ago, the church entered the adversity with a very strong attitude and excluded the fortress from the periphery of the incident.
By comparing the two, we can understand what the church’s intention is in doing this and how huge the changes are.
As expected, the bigger the fist, the more powerful it is. Tianyang came to this conclusion in his heart.
The car doors opened one by one, and the first people to get out of the car were not Bishop Gu Yun, but Wuhen and other saints, as well as the mysterious Silver Crown Knights who wore holy robes but buried their heads and faces in hoods.
There were seven Silver Crown Knights who followed Gu Yun this time. No, including the female knight who played Qiu Li, there were eight people in total.
The Silver Crown Knights all have a combat power of level 6. If you regard them as seven fortress colonels, you can roughly imagine the combat power of this group of people.
The silver-crowned knights in holy robes lined up in two rows in front of the second magnetic car in front.
At this time, the car door opened and Bishop Gu Yun got out. The old man with silver frosted hair smiled in the morning light and walked towards the night walkers under the protection of the Silver Crown Knights.
Liang Sen did not dare to neglect and took Lida to meet him. They had already received information from the church and knew the identity of the old man.
"Captain Liang Sen, thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long."
Gu Yun's expression was calm, but his eyes were sincere as he said, "We should have arrived ten minutes ago, but unfortunately, a group of believers came to see us off early this morning."
"So, this delayed us a little bit."
Liang Sen responded gently and politely: "You are too kind, Bishop. It's getting late. How about we set off now?"
"Of course, of course, Captain."
"Bishop please."
The fortress and the church were talking and laughing, and getting along harmoniously. It was hard to believe that many years ago, the church would treat the Skyfort with an almost rude attitude.
Led by Liang Sen and Gu Yun, the troops on both sides naturally walked towards the Kraf Gate.
Just behind, two figures appeared, wearing dark red Night Walker uniforms. They were Zhang Dongcheng and Yin Qi, the two people who broke the formation.
"Isn't that bishop the person in charge of the church back then?"
Zhang Dongcheng narrowed his eyes: "Is the old guy here again? The church is dog-like, right? Every time there is a big move, they are attracted here."
"When you are in the car, you'd better be careful with your words. We have received enough complaints, so please don't add to the workload of the headquarters." Yin Qi walked quickly towards Krafmen.
Zhang Dongcheng chased after him and asked, "Didn't you go to investigate that child these days? How's the investigation going?"
Yin Qi kept walking: "We don't have much information. I suspect that the fortress is protecting his information."
"All I found out is that this child named Tianyang is from the Lower City District, his mother has passed away, and he seems to be related to a Qin family in the Fortress."
"This kid broke into the Qin family alone, killed the guards, and killed the head of the Qin family."
Zhang Dongcheng chuckled: "So arrogant? Well, I like this kind of personality."
Yin Qi rolled her eyes at him and continued, "He just awakened this year, but he's already at level 5 now. How is it? Are you ashamed?"
Zhang Dongcheng's neck suddenly became thick and red: "If I hadn't been restricted, if I hadn't gotten the sublimation medium, I would have been a rank 7 long ago, okay!"
Yin Qi neither denied nor agreed, and said calmly: "This is probably all I can find out. If you want to know more, you must contact him."
"What do you think in this regard?"
