What was transmitted to William was not only the sound, but also a sense of the starry sky.
"headmaster… "
William made a decision in an instant and fully activated the "platinum blood" flowing in his body to try to establish a connection with the messenger, and the other party seemed ready to accept the connection.
Buzz~ A door made of platinum blood appeared behind him.
Without waiting for Jin to react, William grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in with pure brute force, waiting to explain later.
The effect is similar to a portal.
Not only did it make the two people disappear instantly, but it also wiped out the footprints on the ground and the remaining breath in the air. The door also turned into star particles and dissipated, leaving no trace at all.
However, not long after the two left,
A man wearing a white wig and medieval noble clothing arrived at the scene flapping special insect wings, followed by hundreds of blood people with torn faces and yellow teeth.
“Just now, two weak auras appeared outside the city, and the pulse signal from the leather factory also received some feedback... Did they retreat after the infiltration failed
Search the mountain area and the surrounding 5km area thoroughly, and don't let any bug go."
"yes."
The blood people scattered, smelling the blood in the air and conducting a carpet search.
The nobleman wearing a wig did not leave immediately, but squatted at the corner of the mountain where the breath disappeared, scraped the sand and dust on the ground with his fingers, and then put it into his mouth and licked it carefully.
The taste buds on the surface of the tongue bulge out in the shape of small umbrellas, sticking to the surface of the fingers and sucking every grain of sand.
"Nothing was left? A very sophisticated escape method... These humans are really capable. We should not take them lightly.
Send some more people over here, because these guys might suddenly launch a suicide attack, which would have a direct impact on the construction of our new manor."
…
William's Perspective
The portal was not created by William alone. The teleportation array was drawn early on at the other end, hundreds of kilometers away, as if they knew in advance that William and the others would come back.
Buzz!
In a blink of an eye, William and his companion were standing on the top of an old clock tower, where various precise brass gears worked together to drive the huge pendulum.
The ground was painted with milky white blood mixed with star particles to form a teleportation formation.
A woman wearing a "crying mask" on her face and wrapped in a black dress-like robe with dark gold trim walked out of the darkness. Every step she took seemed to be on the ground but was silent.
"headmaster!"
"William, Jin, welcome to the organization's temporary base, a shelter transformed from the former first city, Flumouth, which is used exclusively as a place for the transfer of gentlemen in the event of a major incident in Zion.
Congratulations to both of you for completing the journey and returning not too late."
Jin looked around with the woven bag containing the armor in one hand: "William, you just dragged me here without saying anything, right? If it's a relocation, it means that Zion has already..."
Before Jin could finish his words, William blocked his mouth.
"Principal Deslin and I have communicated through the stars. It was me who made the decision to teleport. After all, there was a problem with your knight's armor, and a head-on attack would be very risky.
Maybe the other party has a way to get the Silver Circle strongman to come here, so it would be better to communicate with the principal first to understand the specific situation of Zion. "
"Okay~ Since it's Principal Daisylin's request, I won't make a fuss about it."
When Jin and William were studying the book on epidemics, Principal Dai Silin set up a separate space for them, considering the impact of the book on epidemics on the outside world.
I have also communicated with Jin privately, and Jin still remembers these things.
"Principal, has Gethsemane moved in? Are Yuri and Instructor Bailey still here?" Jin was rarely concerned about other people.
"Thanks to the presence of the prophet Yuri, the relocation of Gethsemane went smoothly. Most of the instructor-level personnel are here, but Yuri's condition is not very good..."
William was startled. "What happened to Prophet Yuri?"
"That guy completely indulged himself in killing in order to ensure the evacuation of Gethsemane. In the end, one of his hands was completely disabled, and it was abolished at the level of rules.
One of the invaders was able to erase the concept of the body by 'sucking blood', which was quite terrifying."
"What? Prophet Yuri is a Silver Circle-level being. There should be strict restrictions on Silver Circle strongmen from the old world coming here, right?"
“This is the root cause of why we chose to evacuate everyone… The other party has some special means, or even some special power or technology that does not belong to the old world, which can greatly improve the stability and connection effect of the channel, allowing the strong people in the Silver Circle to teleport freely within a fixed area.
If it weren't for Garlon, we might have been wiped out by more than 80%."
"What's going on?"
"The story begins when Garlon became the first gentleman. Not long after you left Zion, the new leather bags delivered by the leather factory were detected to contain blood from the old world.
A gentleman using this type of skin may appear normal on the surface, and may even feel better than previous gentleman's skins. It fits better and can assist in the regeneration of the body.
However, the gentlemen using the new skins are more likely to become manic when performing tasks. In extreme cases, their bodies will evolve into some special pathological tissues. Teammates have killed each other many times, and even "blood-sucking gentlemen" have begun to appear slowly inside Zion.
In my capacity as a prophet and principal, I requested an audience with the First Gentleman but was refused.
After realizing that something was wrong, the organization's founder and first doctor, Gregory Alaus, led a forced breakthrough into the Shenpi Residence.
As a result, they discovered a tower fortification under construction at the bottom layer, as well as a tunnel that had already been opened. The diameter of the tunnel was much larger than normal, and the wall of the pipe was coated with a substance similar to lubricating oil.
The First Gentleman - Garlon has been restrained, his entire body wrapped in a special blood bag.
Just as we were preparing to launch a full-scale assault, forcibly blocking the passage and cutting off contact with the leather factory, the "First Impact" was released by the unfinished tower.
The gentleman's attire of everyone present was completely ineffective, and skin-related diseases were completely blocked.
At the same time, countless blood people flew out from the passage, as well as four completely different silver-circle patients, who looked like medieval nobles.
Moreover, the aura of the Silver Circle Patient is far more than just the four of them. There is even more aura under the passage that has a tendency to overflow.
At the critical moment, Garlon relied on his willpower to break free from the restraints and transformed himself into a "world plane" to forcibly block the passage, buying time for us... buying time to escape.
However, some gentlemen do not plan to evacuate. After all, there are only four Silver Circle patients on the other side, while the total number of special combat forces within the organization is more than four.
However, my stargazer nature captured an extremely dangerous signal at the first moment.
One of the patients in the silver circle was obviously different, even the other three were subservient to him.
From my perception, this person exudes an extremely terrifying and ancient aura, which is stronger than the Silver Circle Patients I have seen. He is an ancient Patient who survived from ancient times and participated in the war in the Old World. "
"One of the Seven Marquis?"
Jin suddenly interrupted and gave a proper noun.
"What Seven Marquises?" William had never heard of them, but Deslin, as a member of the Stargazer Alliance, nodded.
"William, don't you even know this
Each source of the epidemic area has a group of loyal and powerful people, mainly patients with silver circles, such as the "Knights of the Tumor" I belong to, the "Knights of the Death Plague" in the original tomb, or the "Skin Apostles" in the leather factory.
The Bloody Manor, which was the former source of the epidemic, also has such a group, called the "Crimson Nobles".
There are also distinctions between the strong and the weak within such a group. Those patients with special diseases and outstanding abilities will be separated out and serve as administrators and representatives of the group.
We in the Cancer Palace are called "Knights of the High Table", and are the strongest Cancers who are directly under the Lord.
The strongest in the Bloody Manor are the Seven Marquis... Wow! I didn't expect such a strong man to attack Zion. It's really a face-saving thing for us!
I have always wanted to fight against such a being. When shall we set out?"
