Boom boom boom—
The sound of knocking on the door woke Tianyang up suddenly. It turned out that he had fallen asleep without realizing it.
He opened the automatic door and saw Yan Bing and his men outside.
"Captain, shall we go to the restaurant together?" Yanbing, who had taken off his exoskeleton armor, was in high spirits with a faint smile on his face.
Tianyang nodded: "Let's go, I'm hungry too."
He patted his abdomen lightly, closed the door, and walked towards the multi-purpose compartment with a few others.
People were coming and going in the fairly spacious corridor. Under the bright lights, every face had a smile on their face and every pair of eyes flashed with curiosity.
Tianyang knew that this was because the expedition had just begun and they had not encountered any difficulties in the past week. Therefore, everyone was in good spirits and full of curiosity about the journey.
But he knew that the Reverse Realm was definitely not a paradise, and the journey would not always be so smooth. In a month, people would probably not have such relaxed smiles on their faces.
However, the base vehicles sent by the Golden Court are indeed good things. When you need to stay in the adverse world for a long time, the role of the base vehicles is more obvious.
Although it cannot replace the fortress of Kara Wumenwai, at least it provides people with a harbor to adjust their spirits and relax their bodies and minds, allowing everyone to stay in the adversity longer.
"How is it, is everything going well after getting married?"
Tianyang asked casually while walking on the road.
Yan Bing scratched his hair at the back of his head and said with an optimistic and slightly joyful smile: "We are living well. After we got married, Yunyang Zhigong bought a house for my wife and me in the upper city."
"Although the area is not large, it is enough for us. Even if we have children in the future, we don't need to buy a new one unless we have more than three children."
"Moreover, for this expedition, the factory also advanced me one year's salary for the family's daily expenses. In addition, my wife is also working in the factory now."
"She cooks pretty well, so working in the kitchen means she is considered a formal employee of the factory."
From Yanbing's tone and expression, it is not difficult to see that he is very satisfied with his current life.
Tianyang was also sincerely happy for him. When Yanbing retired from Night Walker, his future was bleak, and he even had problems taking care of himself.
Now he can not only walk freely, but also has such a good job. No wonder his face is so full of sunshine.
Suddenly, a soft cry was heard beside me, and someone lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Tianyang happened to see it and held on to it, then he saw a figure passing by them.
He was a man in a black holy robe. He did not wear a hood, revealing a rough face that was very manly. His eyelids did not contain a smile, and his eyes were neither cold nor warm. He looked at everything around him indifferently.
This is a church member, one of the Silver Crown Knights who came with the bishop. Tianyang does not know his name.
The knight walked away in a hurry, and during the whole process, he did not even glance at Tianyang or the soldier he knocked down.
It seemed that in his eyes, these were ants not worth paying attention to.
"Are you okay?"
Tianyang let go of his hand and looked at the young man who seemed to be a new recruit. He was wearing the dark purple uniform of the Storm Army with a hurricane pattern on his chest.
There was still a hint of immaturity on his face. When he saw Tianyang's shoulder straps and learned his military rank, he saluted in a panic.
: "Hello, sir. I'm fine. Thank you, sir!"
Tianyang shook his head gently: "You're welcome."
Without saying anything else, Tianyang and Yanbing and others came to the restaurant.
It was dinner time, and in a restaurant that could accommodate forty people, there were already more than twenty people.
They gathered in groups of three or five, eating and chatting happily.
Tianyang saw the Silver Crown Knight at a glance. He occupied a table alone. His cold aura and identity as a church member made people reluctant to approach him.
"Let's sit at that table." Tianyang picked a table that could accommodate five or six people, which was just enough for them.
Qiulong and Gu Ming went to help everyone order food, and soon the food came up.
In addition to rice, there are also grilled fish, vegetables, bacon and fruits.
And, a bowl of soup for each person.
Including fruits, the food carried by the expeditionary army was basically frozen products. It was easy to store and very simple to eat. Just heat it up and pour sauce on it.
Although in the restaurant, the chef processes them a little bit to make them more delicious.
But these foods still cannot be compared with delicacies cooked with fresh ingredients. But considering that we are now in the adverse world, being able to enjoy such things is already quite good.
In any case, it's better than chewing food sticks... Tianyang emphasized this point in his mind, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The mouth is suddenly filled with the wonderful aroma of various spices, sea salt, pepper and other condiments blended together.
The aroma alone is enough to whet your appetite.
"Just for the food here, I really hope the vacation will never end." Stuffing a piece of bacon into his mouth, Qiulong said with a sigh.
While eating, Tianyang also noticed that at a table not far in front of them, among the soldiers wearing storm uniforms, there was a young man with bronze skin, deep brows, and brown-red hair.
The obvious features of a Westerner made Tianyang certain that there should be more than one person sent by the Golden Council for exchange.
"His name is Sonia, a soldier from Jinquan Fort in the Western Continent."
As if noticing that Tianyang was observing that table, Sean, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "Golden Spring Castle is located on an island in the West Continent. If there hadn't been a Kraf Gate on the island, I believe no one would be willing to settle there."
"Golden Springs is rich in a plant called sweetwood, which can be used to extract xylose by squeezing its juice. People in Golden Springs prefer to use it to make wine. The sweet drink is easy to get drunk, but people in Golden Springs never get tired of it."
While listening to Sean's introduction, Tianyang noticed the soldier named Sonia, who looked slightly drunk, with a dazed look in his eyes, and several wine bottles at his feet.
Sean smiled softly and said, "The people of Jinquan Castle are addicted to alcohol. This guy can only drink when he is on vacation. I guess it's very difficult for him to hold it in."
At this time, Tianyang heard that the storm soldiers at that table were instigating Sonia to talk about something about their hometown.
Su Niya burped and said in a not-so-fluent Donglu dialect: "Speaking of our Jinquan Fort, we cannot fail to mention the girls in our fort."
"Most of our girls are very enthusiastic. As long as you are likable enough, they will be willing to spend the night with you. Believe me, if you have the opportunity to visit our fortress, you will enjoy VIP treatment."
Sean sneered when he heard this: "The girls in Jinquan Castle are indeed very enthusiastic, but the prerequisite is that you have to be rich enough. And the men in Jinquan Castle advocate a culture of pleasure, so they can spend their money on girls and fine wine on the day they get their salary."
Sure enough, even on the same continent, there are still cultural differences between different fortresses... Tianyang drank a sip of soup calmly.
I also heard that Sonia say, "In addition to taking risks in the opposite world, people in our area also like to take risks on the sea."
"The sea is boundless, and there are countless legends of treasures on the sea. The most interesting one, without a doubt, is the lost city of 'Yarat'!"
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, not long after the emergence of the Klav Gate, a great man created an unprecedented feat. He was in an infernal world and killed the ruler of that infernal world."
"Then, Yarati was born. It was the first true empire in the Western Continent. It was extremely powerful, and Yarati was its capital."
"Oh, by the way, this empire is called the 'Silver Empire'."
The storm troopers looked at each other and shook their heads.
"The Silver Empire? Never heard of it."
"Sonia, you are not bragging, are you?"
Sonia, who was obviously a little drunk, said angrily, "What I said is all true. It's not surprising that you don't know. The Silver Empire and the lost Arati are all legends in our Western Continent."
"They are a piece of history that has been deliberately covered up. It is normal that you don't know about it."
Sean frowned, and for some reason, he glanced at the Silver Crown Knight in the corner: "This guy, he'd better shut up and go back to sleep now."
Tianyang glanced at his team members, not understanding what he meant.
Then Sonia continued: "At that time, the state religion of the Silver Empire was the 'Reverse Light Religion'. You may not have heard of this sect. It is a sect that worships the reverse world, death and darkness."
"With the disappearance of the Silver Empire, this sect eventually fell apart. But I heard that some people in this sect later absorbed other legends and beliefs and founded churches such as the Lord of War and the Goddess of Glory."
"If you don't believe it, go and ask the people in these two churches to see if they have heard of the Reverse Light Church..."
Hearing this, Tianyang also agreed with Sean's words. It would be better for Sonia to go back to sleep.
When Sonya said these words, the temperature in the restaurant suddenly dropped, and a low, indifferent voice rang out: "Nonsense, how dare you slander the church. What crime should you be punished for!"
The silver-crowned knight had stood up, his black robe opened, revealing a silver-white holy sword hanging from his waist.
The knight's hand was already on the hilt of the sword, his aura had not yet appeared, but the murderous aura he released was like a wave.
Wave after wave rushed towards the table of storm troopers.
Faced with the murderous aura of the sixth-rank strong man, the soldiers turned pale, felt extremely uncomfortable in their stomachs, and wanted to vomit.
Suddenly, there appeared in front of them a not very strong, even a slender figure.
But this figure blocked their way and stopped the murderous aura released by the Silver Crown Knight.
Tian Yang said softly: "Respected Silver Knight, this soldier is just drunk and talking nonsense. Please don't bother with him."
