mechanical court

boom--!

But just such a cry fell in Ivan's ears, but it seemed like a thunderbolt sounded out of thin air.This weird cry seemed to be able to directly penetrate the eardrum, causing severe pain in his skull, like a few red-hot irons directly piercing into the brain, and the impact on the spirit was unimaginably huge.

"..."

Ivan only felt that the soul in his mind was shaking violently, his will seemed to be torn into countless parts, and the fragments of thinking were layered on top of each other like waves. The ones behind pushed the ones in front, expanding infinitely, as if they were about to squeeze through the brain and splash out.

In this horrible pain, he felt that the blood flow all over his body was hot and hot like magma, and there seemed to be a large amount of sharp debris stirring in the bone marrow, countless electric currents were passing back and forth on the nerves, and every cell seemed to be about to explode bomb!

Can't admit defeat!Can't admit defeat!Can't admit defeat!

His thinking had long been chaotic and fuzzy, but he subconsciously gritted his teeth, moved out all the spiritual pillars that could arm him, and forcibly supported the little dignity left, not bowing his head to the disgusting old monster in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to hold on. Just kneel down and apologize to me, and everything will pass." Ozymandis suddenly opened his mouth to speak, his voice was soothing and soft, and the terrifying storm of thoughts subsided.

At this moment, his voice seemed ethereal and holy, as if it contained a kind of calming power.As the voice of the high priest fell, every inch of the room seemed to emit a soft light. In Ivan's blurred eyes, his figure seemed to exude bright warmth, kindness, brilliance, and sacredness.

"All right……"

Ivan lowered his head in a low voice, let the broken hair cover his face, paused deliberately, completely attracted Ozymandis's mind, suddenly raised his head and shouted:

"Shit you!"

"..."

At this time, the high priest's expression seemed to be that he took a mouthful of shit, the veins in his temples were throbbing, and the wrinkles on his face were constantly shaking, which made people worry that they might fall off at any time.

"Hahaha!"

Ivan looked at the expression on his face, spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and suddenly laughed loudly.

Chapter 20 Confused

Unknown temple, ruins.

Abandoned buildings line the stream and sit in the oasis of the First Falls.Covered by mountains and surrounded by dense forests, it looks like an abandoned city that is gradually weathering.Its city wall is different from ordinary masonry walls, it is completely made of tough wood, with a large number of towers, it looks like a cliff with many pillars.

The most low-lying position of this building complex is a naturally formed river valley, and the green meadow continues to the center of the valley.There is a lush forest belt growing there, and among the dense green leaves, there is an inconspicuous fortress-like building faintly.

Where the broken golden river bends, the watchtowers that surround the valley can be seen faintly.The flowing water is clear, and the river passes through the turf on both sides, and is sent to the Temple of Nut downstream along with the soft wind in the valley.But at this time, the Temple of Nut was already a mess of ruins. The entire temple was blown into fragments from the inside out, forming a crater-like scorched black radiation belt.

Since yesterday evening, this long-hidden temple has been taken over by the crowned knights who are directly under the royal court.

The crowned knights who received the order sealed off the entire ruins. They wore semi-enclosed light armor, held war halberds, wore wide-brimmed helmets, and wore skirts made of armor, and their knees and leg shins were tightened with protective gear.

The corona knights are strictly disciplined, and their uniform silver-white cloaks are connected together. Looking down from above, it seems that there is a slow-moving silver-white snake among the dense forests.

The female officer, Bazaar, was riding on a burly chocobo, and her black-armored guards followed behind the crowned knights. As far as the eye could see, two rows of thin heavy-armored infantry traversed the entire road. river valley.Along the rolling meadows looming black and white formations, with flags flying, number in the thousands.

The search teams wearing blue and white uniforms and white feather headdresses went in and out of various buildings. Compared with the army, these people were basically unarmed. They were only responsible for collecting items and inspecting the remaining clues in the building complex.

"..."

Bazaar drove the tame chocobo, followed the slope of the ground, walked all the way, quickly passed through the green forest belt, and arrived in front of the hidden fortress.

"Your Excellency Commander!"

The crowned knight standing guard at the gate of the fort immediately bowed to her.

"I want to see His Majesty."

While she was speaking, she jumped off the chocobo, handed over the mount to her subordinates, and walked straight to the gate of the fortress.

"Please come in."

The guards had already received the order to let go, and they didn't stop them, and they kindly presented an old-fashioned lantern:

"There's a torch in there, but it's still very dim. You might need this."

"Thank you, there's no need."

Bazaar glanced at the dark corridor in front of her, didn't take the lantern, and walked into the fort at a faster pace.

……

After stepping into the corridor, the surroundings fell into a dark and dead silence, only the torches were left burning, and the flickering light reflected the deep ravines and shadows on the walls.After passing through several sealed bronze composite doors, under the guidance of several insiders, the female officer climbed up a rattan ladder to the highest level of the fortress.

"His Majesty."

She stopped behind the half-covered carved door and called softly.

"You don't need to be formal, just come in."

"Yes."

Bazaar pushed open the door of the room, and saw that under the oak wall carved with the statue of Nut and on the red embroidered gold platform, the Queen was lying lazily half-lying and flipping through a notebook.

"According to the traces left by the march, they went all the way west and have been away for more than two days." She reported the information she had just acquired.

"west?"

Elulomei stopped flipping through the notes, lowered her thick eyelashes, raised them again, and looked at the female officer with beautiful silver eyes:

"No, it's impossible to go west."

"But judging from the traces left by the luggage... they did indeed go west."

"On the surface it does appear so."

The queen closed the notebook in her hand, smiled lightly and said:

"This is the account left by a subordinate of Ozymandis. The records in it show that there is an expenditure every year to maintain five sailboats. I think this is the way he left for himself."

"However, there is also the sea to the west." Bazaar explained with some confusion.

"..."

After hearing the words, Ellome got up, walked to the window, opened the lace curtains, looked at the silent temple ruins outside, and asked the female officer with her back:

"Do you know what kind of tree this is?"

"..."

Bazaar walked to the window in a daze, looked down at the green forest below, and immediately saw the species of the trees:

"Your Majesty, this is the Salo Fruit Tree."

"It's the rainy season, and the Salo fruit isn't fully ripe yet, right?"
