The barrier is still the same barrier, Twilight City is still the same Twilight City, steampunk is still the same steampunk, and the Twilight Guards are still the same group of Twilight Guards—of course, this group of people in the end is somewhat different from when we first met, for example, everyone Generally, there is a bandage wrapped around the forehead. In some serious cases, the bandage has been wrapped from the forehead to the crotch. It looks like a dead man has returned. Anyway, when Hao Ren saw it, he sighed why these people worked so hard. Everyone was injured. If this is the case, it would be better to just go back and lie down. Standing in line on the avenue at this time is specially to add trouble to Galazore and the others...
Of course, even if these people are really aiming at embarrassing Galazore, it's of no use. The majestic Dragon Queen is a censor with thousands of years of experience. What is the concept of thousands of years of experience? It is basically impossible to describe it with old fritters, at least it is of the oil residue level, the kind where Mount Tai collapses in front of your eyes without changing your face, and the nerves are as tough as peripheral necrosis. Hundreds of bruised and resentful Twilight Guards stood on both sides of the avenue, and Galazoll and Anthony walked past with their chests upright like a reviewing troop. , Praise while walking: "The young man played well just now." "You are all brave people, I admire you very much." "The soldiers have worked hard!" "Little brother, the old man is surprised to see your bones." Eyebrows are high, are you interested in learning magic pattern with the old man?"
That's basically the case.
Odin has awakened from a centuries-long slumber in Chaos, the great Old One has regained control of the city in a short time, and the Twilight Guard is now back on the Iron Throne. After Hao Ren and Odin had a brief conversation, everyone returned to the city from the main gate of the Twilight City openly and aboveboard, and the Steam Council enthusiastically—whether it was voluntary or otherwise—showed a welcoming attitude, and the city guards Line up to welcome the foreign heroes returning from the Nibelungen beside the steel avenue where the lightseekers embarked on their journey in the past. Steam chariots and armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the avenue, while the residents living in the outer edge tremblingly came from I poked my head out of nearby buildings and watched what was happening on the avenue: For these numb miners, life has always been lacking in change, and this unheard of battle before them made them a little bit at a loss.
Seeing Galazore and Anthony greet the Twilight Guards on the side of the road with a carefree face, Hao Ren, a rookie who had just taken office for a few years, was still a little embarrassed. He tugged on the sleeve of the Queen of Dragons from behind: "Speaking of this sister, it's okay for us to be so acquainted with the opposite party who just punched out his brains at this time?"
"What's the problem with that?" Galazore shook his head indifferently, "I praise them sincerely—although these guys are a bit indiscriminate, but to be honest, they are all men. I have fought big and small in my life. I've fought a lot, but it's rare that someone dares to raise their head and scold me when they dive down in the form of a giant dragon, tsk tsk, these are a bunch of good soldiers."
Hearing the Dragon Queen's heartfelt emotion, Hao Ren curled his lips and said nothing, thinking that this female Dragon Queen's way of thinking is really different from ordinary people. The old Pharaoh, he suddenly felt that Galazore was quite down-to-earth...
Those who were urged to line up on both sides of the road also included the spider robots of the Sixth Division of Steam. These huge and formidable black iron machines gathered their mechanical legs and crouched on both sides of the steel road like a small fortress. Many pairs of compound eyes on the head were shining with red light, watching Hao Ren and his party vigilantly as they passed by. For these special elite troops, even the orders from the Steam Council are not absolute. These scientific madmen who only regard the safety of the city as their only mission still maintain a considerable degree of vigilance against the "intruders" in front of them.
However, one of the spider robots suddenly shivered when it saw a little guy in Hao Ren's team, and then unconsciously took half a step back. The huge movement made by this huge robot immediately caught Hao Ren's attention. He turned his head and took a look, and found that one of the robot's mechanical legs was obviously newly installed—and not far behind him, the little devil Elizabeth was walking beside Izaks with a silly smile on her face. Holding a mechanical ball with a complicated structure, it was some kind of stabilizer that was removed from the stomach of the spider robot before. As for the mechanical leg that the little girl regarded as a baby bump, it had been crushed under Hao Ren's soft and hard foam. Received in the portable space...
Seeing this situation, Nangong Wuyue couldn't help raising her forehead with her hands, and sighed softly: "Oh, why do you suddenly feel that we have sinned so much?"
"Severe hair," Nangong Sanba crossed his arms, "We are here to help, they are the ones who took the initiative to call."
This unlucky half-water demon hunter was the only injured person in the previous battle. When he was in the sixteenth group of poses, he was caught by his sister's tail and thrown onto the pillar next to him. At this moment, he was full of resentment.
At the end of the welcoming queue, Hao Ren saw a small group of people, many of whom were wearing the uniforms of the Steam Council, and they seemed to be the legendary high-ranking members of the Council, and other than that were some wearing black robes, Figures wearing crowns of thorns, there is no doubt that they are the voices of the ancient saint Odin: the caretakers.
From the composition of this small group of people, it can be seen that the transfer of power in the city has been completed, but the transfer of power completed in such a short period of time, how many internal operations and thunderous means are involved, outsiders do not know.
Lily stretched her head and looked around among the members of the Steam Council, then turned her head and muttered to Wendell regretfully: "Master, your prodigal son is not here."
Wendell smiled helplessly: "Hope...he is just an ordinary sheriff captain in the Steam Council, and he is not qualified to appear here. And I guess he doesn't want to see me at this time."
"Oh, I know, the world view has collapsed." Lily nodded with a very understanding face, "I also collapsed when I first found out that I was a husky. just forget about it..."
Wendell: "...?"
"Angelica," Hao Ren came to the small group of people, and finally found an acquaintance among them, "I didn't expect the Old Sage to settle the matter so quickly, I thought I would have to spend a long time with the people from the Steam Council .”
Angelica showed a gentle smile, but the answer seemed to be a bit out of line: "The Old Sage is the foundation of the entire city's survival."
When approaching the female caretaker, Lily couldn't help sniffling. She saw a few caretakers with slightly weird dresses standing behind Angelica. These caretakers wore black steel masks on their faces. , the black robe on his body was thicker, and the crown on his head was not thorns, but a circle of decorations like spear points. From these gloomy caretakers, Lily smelled a vague smell of blood, which made her think deeply.
Hao Ren also noticed this. He looked at the members of the steam council next to Angelica, but unfortunately he didn't know what the previous members of the council looked like—if he had, he would have found that a third of them The High Councilor did not appear in this place.
But even if he didn't know the inside story, Hao Ren could guess something.
Human nature is like this. After the ancient saints have been silent for hundreds of years, the members of the Steam Council have forgotten who the real ruler of this city is. The "King" is already equivalent to an ancient legend. If the twilight barrier above his head is not still shining, I am afraid that some people will even fundamentally deny the existence of the Old Sage. This tendency not only exists among the people, but also exists in the Steam Council.
And people with this tendency in the Steam Council are even more stubborn: they have an extra power at hand, which makes them even more reluctant to have an Old Sage suddenly wake up and order themselves.
Humans are so fickle.
But in any case, wise people still have the majority, and the same is true within the steam council. Jen's subsequent work paved the way.
At this time, a ball of white light "whoosh" came out from behind Hao Ren. The white light circled around the crowd, and then wandered around curiously. Same."
Members of the Steam Council became nervous when they saw another "unknown organism" appearing suddenly. To be honest, they have not been relieved from the big event of "the awakening of the ancient sage, the reshaping of the etiquette system, and the reorganization of order" Oh my god, at this time, everything he sees is confused, so Hao Ren hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is the soul of the World Tree—Xiaobai, don't move around, there are steam engines everywhere in this place. If you fall into the steam, you will not be found."
Nangong Wuyue sighed: "The soul of the World Tree has indeed become Xiaobai just like that..."
The chairman of the Steam Council is a calm and serious middle-aged woman named Lavinia. Hao Ren only told the other party one sentence:
"The sky will clear up within 24 hours. After the clearing, you have to prepare. This city will soon be uninhabitable." (To be continued~^~)
