"One more thing." Ling patted Feng on the shoulder and said: "You bring him with you, he is one of my most reliable comrades-in-arms, with him, at least you will not die."
Finally, Zero added: "He is the ninth order."
Paul's eyes lit up immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "I will remember your help to me. After overthrowing Sauron, I will definitely show it."
Zero smiled and didn't answer.
This meeting ended just like that, but the confrontation between the Sea God Group and the Pope's Hall is still not over, and will intensify instead.
When Zero Secret returned to Kanon Fortress, on the other side of the Middle Continent, Moni and Girutan finally arrived at the City of Dawn in Shadow Canyon. Today, the Arc de Triomphe Bridge built by Tire has completed the erection of the bridge body. There is no longer only the basic structure. A sentry post is set up at the exit of the bridge leading to the City of Dawn. To go to the city, you must pass through this sentry post. , guarding the main traffic route from the city to the east mainland.
Mo Ni walked on the bridge, besides them, there were people or vehicles passing by in twos and threes from time to time. It can be seen that a large amount of materials and manpower are being transported to the city. This is a city glowing with infinite vitality. When I came here, Moni kept smiling, and even Lala seemed very excited, calling "Lala" all the time.
Girutan is very silent, but his personality has always been like this, and Moni has long been familiar with it.
Mo Ni lifted Lala off her head, hugged her to her chest and said, "I'll see you soon, Lala, are you happy too, I haven't seen you for several years."
Although Lala couldn't speak, she barked non-stop, causing people passing by them to keep looking at this strange creature. Girutan seemed to dislike being stared at and saluted passers-by frequently, but most of them gave him a tolerant smile when they thought he was a wild boy.
When they came to the exit, the soldiers at the outpost were conducting routine security checks. The main thing was that they were not allowed to bring powerful firearms or explosives into the city, or they had to temporarily deposit them at the outpost and register if they had these things on them. When people want to leave, they are collected from the sentry post.
Unlike other cities, Dawn City welcomes everyone who comes. The city does not ask for any entry fee, and only requires people to abide by the simple regulations issued by the female mayor Beyoncé when they are in the city. It can be seen that the city is very confident in its own force, so it is relatively less restrained. However, no one really dared to cause trouble in the city. The official force announced by Dawn City included an army of about 2,000 people, the Burning Legion composed of biological and chemical weapons, and an eighth-level powerhouse.
This kind of force is enough to shock those who want to make trouble. And anyone with a little brain knows that these are just the force on the water of Dawn City. As for how much power they still hide, no one knows.
Another point that is not seen in other cities is that there are a lot of people of different races in Dawn City, accounting for almost one-third of the city's regular population. These alien races from the western land are like other human beings in the City of Dawn, basically participating in the city's construction. At the beginning, people were not used to it, but after a long time, they found that apart from the differences in appearance and civilization between races, their wishes for building Dawn City were the same.
These alien races basically come from the alien race federation in the west, and there are also some talents and elites sent by Ling's base camp, Ludu. With their participation, Dawn City has developed extremely fast, and it is now gradually taking shape.
At the sentry post, Mo Ni and the two lined up to wait for the security check. When it was finally their turn, the soldier in charge of the inspection was stunned when he saw Lala on Moni's head. The soldier frowned and asked, "What kind of creature is this?"
"It's called Lala, and it's a descendant of the gold-eating bug." Mo Ni answered truthfully.
The soldier scratched his head and said, "I've never seen a larva of a gold swallowing bug look like this..."
"Because Lala is special."
"Okay, we need to register this strange creature. Since it is a descendant of the gold-eating bug, remember not to let it damage the city's facilities. If there is any damage, you will have to pay for it." The soldier gave Mo the tablet brain The three of Ni took a photo, and asked for their names in turn, and entered them into the brain for record. At the same time, the system will automatically generate serial codes for two people and one animal, and each corresponds to an electronic card.
This electronic card is the identity proof of Mo Ni and Lala in Dawn City. Without it, once the soldiers patrolling in the city find out, it will not be as simple as expulsion. At the same time, if Mo Ni and the others participate in the construction of the city, the rewards will also be directly reflected in this electronic card, and they can use the reward points in the electronic card for consumption.
The entire economic system of Dawn City borrowed the contribution value of Asgard, but it was simplified by Beyonce for the convenience of operation.
When the soldier was about to distribute the three electronic cards allocated to Mo Ni, a voice suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
A big man with a red face came forward, and the soldier immediately saluted and said, "Good morning, Captain Feller!"
"Good morning, Shack. What's going on?"
Soldier Shake briefly reported Moni's situation to the captain, Feller listened and cast his eyes on Moni's swollen chest. After hearing this, he pushed the soldiers away and said, "Dawn City doesn't need useless people, you have to tell me, what can you do for our city?"
Mo Ni's face darkened, and of course she felt Feller's malicious gaze. But this is Zero's city, and she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to Zero, so she said patiently, "My brother Girutan and I are both mercenaries. I think you need mercenaries here, right?"
"Mercenary? Just you two brats?" Fei Le laughed loudly, and he finally stopped laughing. Said to Mo Ni: "I think you look pretty good, don't be a mercenary anymore. Follow me, Fei Le, and keep you a hundred times more comfortable than a mercenary."
"Really? I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the life of being taken care of by others. Besides, you don't have the qualifications yet." Mo Ni, who was no longer a weak girl back then, spoke with a bit of rigidity at the moment.
As soon as Feller's face changed, he was about to have an attack. Mo Ni frowned, thinking that if this man doesn't know what to do, even if he is a zero person, he should be taught a lesson first. But at this time, a shadow shrouded Feller inside, but Feller still didn't notice it. He stretched out his hand to catch Mo Ni, wanting to teach this girl who dared to talk back to him. Unexpectedly, someone caught him as soon as he stretched out his hand, Fei Le said angrily: "Who dares to stop me?"
He turned around, and when he suddenly saw a square face, all his anger suddenly turned into ashes: "Master Bu... Brown, why are you here?"
"If I'm not here, how can I have the opportunity to see our great and capable Captain Feller ignore Miss Beyonce's orders, huh?"
It was Brown who caught Feller, and he was the commander of the city's military department who had Zero deployed to the City of Dawn to help Beyoncé manage the army. It is true that a big man like him rarely appears here, so it is no wonder that Feller is surprised by it. Hearing Brown's censure, Feller was dripping with cold sweat. He was tempted to make things difficult just because he saw Moni's beauty and delicacy.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Brown ran into him, and immediately explained: "My lord, in fact, I..."
"Shut up! I said long ago before you took up the post that no matter who they are, as long as they obey the rules, they will pass through. You treat my words as nothing. Feller, you have only been the captain for a few days, and you think Are you the commander? You don’t even have to listen to my orders, do you?”
Brown lifted Feller up. They were about the same size, but Feller was as helpless as a child in Brown's hands. Brown threw him to the ground forcefully, Feller was about to get up, but Brown stomped back with a heavy chest. The latter took off the electronic card hanging around his neck with a sneer, and crushed the card into pieces with a big hand. With another hand, Brown sprinkled the shards on his face and said, "Unfortunately, you have been fired. From now on, you have three hours to pack your things, and then get out of here!"
Feller's face turned green, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious. He still wanted to beg, but when he saw Brown's murderous eyes, he quickly ran away with his tail between his legs like a bereaved dog.
There were many people standing in the passageway at the end of the bridge, especially those who had just arrived in Dawn City. They all cheered when they saw Brown severely punishing Feller. And this also strengthened their belief that in a city with strict military management, at least living here will not be bullied by soldiers.
Brown walked back at this time, took the card that Shaker was going to send to Monie himself, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, miss. My bastard's words were inappropriate, and I apologize to you here. Please rest assured, in Shuguang Nothing like this will ever happen in the city.”
"I believe you, sir. The city of Zero will definitely not be like other places." Mo Ni said casually.
Brown chimed in and said, "You also know our leader?"
"Of course, we came to him. I traveled with him a few years ago. We didn't part ways until he joined Asgard. I heard that he has become a lord and is still building a city, so I'm here to see if there's anything I can do to help." Mo Ni said truthfully.
"It's really a surprise." Brown rubbed his head and said, "We even know such a beautiful lady as you."
"Excellent."
Brown slipped the card to her and beckoned them away from the sentry post. While walking towards the city, Brown said: "I just heard you say that you are a mercenary? Do you really have that strength? I don't want to question you, but it's better to make sure. This way, it's also good for you assign work."
So Moni stopped, threw Lala to Girutan and said, "Go away."
"Boring." Girutan walked aside with Lala, and simply sat down on the ground.
Fini smiled, then took a deep breath. The next moment, the silver hair at the back of her head was blown without wind, and when Mo Ni's eyes flashed a silver light, the energy flame of the same color also began to overflow from her body. Brown, who felt the energy from Moni's body, couldn't help opening his mouth wide. This seemingly weak girl now displayed power as high as the eighth level!
Moreover, the energy continues to rise.
At the other end of the Shadow Canyon, on a certain high slope, Xiu Ya stood there straight. She was wearing the clothes looted from the town of Osas, but this shirt and jeans were already dirty and torn during the journey, Xiu Ya was a bit of a clean freak, but she could only choose to be patient. After all, along the way, she and Mo Ni kept repeating the scenes of sneak attack and being attacked, but she didn't have much time to wash her clothes, not even to take a bath.
That's why the first knight's face is now gray and plain. Dust and filth cover her peerless face. If you don't look closely, you might think it's a kid from a remote village.
Looking down from Xiuya's direction, the Arc de Triomphe Bridge crosses the two ends of the Shadow Canyon. This steel-reinforced bridge exudes an unadorned and rough atmosphere, which is in line with the barren land to the west. The only decoration of the bridge is its color. It was painted with dark red paint, and the color itself exuded a murderous air, as if it was made of countless blood paint.
To the west of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, there is an open wasteland. Back then, the small town lying between the Shadow Canyon and the deserted city was almost in ruins, and Beyonce had someone demolish it long ago. In the area close to the city, the ground is combed into strips, dotted with some lush green colors, and it is unknown whether they are drought-tolerant plants or improved crops.
Several water pumps are connected to the city's water plant, and they are working. With the rumbling mechanical buzzing, they drain water from the other side of the city, and then spray a large amount of water mist from the water spout after pressurization. Under the operation of the computer, the dry land is being irrigated according to a certain time and law, and judging from the green plants, it is obvious that Dawn City has achieved certain achievements in planting.
Behind this cultivated land under development is a city under construction. Or, it is more appropriate to call it a city within a city.
Dawn City occupies a corner of the original city, bounded by towering fortifications, and it can be seen that the city surrounded by fortifications has clearly planned different areas. In the middle of the city stands a triangular building. This building looks similar to a pyramid, and there are many luminous objects on its surface, because it is too far away, so Xiuya can't see what those things are.
But if there is no accident, she guesses that it should be a solar panel, that is to say, the building in the middle of the city is actually a solar power plant, providing pure and pollution-free energy for the entire city. At the very top of this pyramid, there is still a round white light ball floating, and in the center of the light ball, Xiu Ya can vaguely see a slowly rotating square.
From time to time, this floating ball of light would spew out a wave of energy, which gradually surged from the high altitude to the edge of the city. Xiuya doesn't know what its function is, but with this ball of light, if one looks up to the sky from every corner of the city, one will mistakenly think that the sun is floating above the city. This is probably the reason for the name of Dawn City, right
In fact, that ball of light, to be precise, is the rotating tetrahedron inside, which is the improved Netherese shield of Aurora City, which will form a purification light curtain all day long, thereby reducing the radiation pollution in Aurora City to safety standard. The coverage of the Netherese shield can be further improved by simply increasing the power if required.
And this pyramid is a special building that integrates the workstation of the Netherese shield and the solar stone, and it is also the symbol of Dawn City. With it as the center, Beyoncé drew a huge cross and planned the city into four important urban areas, and then each urban area was subdivided and connected by roads to make it a whole.
Right now, Dawn City has completed the basic urban supporting facilities, but there are still large areas of construction sites that are busy under construction.
"It's really a city full of vitality." Xiu Ya sighed, she couldn't help but compare the city in front of her with the Eternal Night City of the Dark Council.
In terms of size and population, Dawn City is far inferior to Evernight City. But Eternal Night City has never had the vigor of the city in front of her. From the construction sites scattered around the city, she seems to be able to see the ambitions of the city planners. With the resources and manpower allowed, this person seems to want to transform the entire old deserted city.
Once successful, it is no exaggeration to say that this place will become the most prosperous city in the entire Central Continent. After all, the area of this deserted city is several times that of Eternal Night City, and the number of people it can accommodate naturally increases geometrically. If someone has land, there will naturally be an army. It is not difficult to imagine that when this place is fully developed, it may form a force that can rival Asgard or Evernight City!
At this moment, Xiu Ya suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and then looked towards the direction not far from the Arc de Triomphe Bridge. Just to the west of Shadow Canyon, there is a little silver light shining not far from the exit of the bridge. This light made Xiu Ya feel extremely dazzling, and she knew very well who that light belonged to. In her mind, the figure of a silver-haired girl naturally flashed across.
"Arrogant little guy..." Xiu Ya said lightly.
At the same time, a man and a woman suddenly ran out of a small greenhouse workshop on the side of the cultivated field that Xiu Ya saw. The male is younger, while the female is older, but with a glamorous aura. The two looked at each other, and finally the man said, "It's the ninth level, right? Sister Alice."
The woman's lips were tightly pursed, and it took a long time before she could say a word: "That's right... it's the ninth level of power. Who is it? It's not Eva, and it's not Dr. Curd. It won't be that big guy Brown. Strange, we Is there a new strongman in the city?"
Both Jin and Alice sensed the high-level power coming from the direction of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge. Even Eva, who was busy extracting the deep information of the dark crown in the city's biochemical experiment base, knocked the wrong one because of this sudden power. One order, and even the whole morning's work was wasted. In normal times, the brain in front of him might have been smashed to pieces by this woman with strange strength, but today was obviously an accident.
Eva bit a cigarette, looked out the window thoughtfully, then shrugged and went on with her work.
In the same area, Dr. Curd was as qualified to sense that power as she was. But this workaholic was designing another new type of weapon, and didn't find anything abnormal at all, but stared at the brain in front of him with a frenzied expression on his face.
Near the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, Brown's mouth is big enough to swallow his own fist. He looked at Mo Ni in surprise. The girl had restrained her energy, but a silver halo still enveloped her body. On the surface, it doesn't feel like there is anything. Only an ability user like Brown who has reached the eighth level can feel the deep and condensed power from the circle of silver flames.
After releasing her own power, Mo Ni naturally formed a sense of majesty unique to high-level powerhouses, and even her voice was full of penetrating power. She looked at Brown and asked lightly, "How, am I still qualified?"
Brown smiled bitterly: "If this is not qualified, then I have to be laid off."
