Please abide by the Basic Law

On the way to High Court, Cecil was constantly being read by Ange. He never knew that a man could talk so much. When he walked with Ange last time, the other party maintained a taciturn and cold image. This time the explosion not only A "relic" that he couldn't understand was blown up, and Ange's true temperament was also blown up.

"I know you're a naive person, but I didn't expect you to be so naive!" Across the griffin, Ange almost yelled, "Look at Dali, this guy is a wild man, and the wild man can leave here at any time, You can do whatever you want, he is still a great magician, how about you? If something happens to you, what will happen to Moon City?"

This hit Cecil's weakness, he quietly retracted his face into the stinky feathers of the griffin, and then said a little dissatisfied: "What the hell is naive, I'm so old, I'm so naive!"

"Luther said that you would rather die than eat the magic elk!" Ange continued to roar, as if his voice was not dry at all, "And you dare not look directly into the eyes of the head! It is said that you try not to kill people?! Naive! So naive!"

Cecil: "..."

Your standards of innocence here are too loose.

In any case, Dali and Cecil couldn't hold their heads up in front of Ange. They behaved obediently like grandchildren along the way. Ange did what he said, and didn't dare to look at them or move more.It's just that after Ange fell asleep, Dali would sneak up to Cecil and discuss in a low voice how powerful the magic was used that day, how accurate the installation was, and how good the effect was. When he came back to his senses, he found that Ange had stood aside expressionlessly, looking at them coldly.

Cecil felt that Anger's method of chasing and killing Dali was too "cruel"...

Gaoting New City, the city rebuilt after the destruction of Gaoting civilization, the strange thing is that the old city of Gaoting is still there. It is said that it is used to commemorate the destroyed civilization and preserve the scene of the crime. The whole city is fixed by advanced magic at the beginning of destruction At that moment, even the girl playing music that Cecil had seen in the illusion was still playing music, but all of this was just a dream, as long as the magic was unlocked, no matter what you did, the old city would be destroyed again Well, this magic actually reverses and freezes the time in this area. This is not only expensive, but it can only be done by gathering top magicians from various fields in the world.

High Court has done it, which is enough to prove its wide network and high status in the field of magic.

The new city is located on a real plateau, and Cecil was tortured by altitude sickness before he saw the golden road cast by magic.By the way, this avenue is made of real gold. The Gaoting people used shaping magic to spread the gold as thin as a cake, and embedded it into the flattened land with one side smooth and the other densely packed with thumbtacks. The sky will be trampled into potholes, and some gold will be taken away because of people walking around, so magicians are needed to patrol and repair every day, which can be said to be very expensive.

So fucking rich!

When seeing this road, Cecil couldn't help but sigh with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Gaoting New City looks like a shrunken version of Gaoting Old City. It is located in a basin, a bit like Ebo, but the surrounding mountains are gentle, so it has extremely tall city walls.Looking from the hillside, you can see many low two- and three-story frame buildings inside the wall, with obvious column structures.White is the main color, and there are many more green plants. Roman beast chariots shuttle through the wide streets, but there are no big birds in the sky.

After Cecil mentioned it, Dali's expression was a bit gloomy: "The Raleigh birds are extinct. They are empathetic creatures. When the same species dies on a large scale, the rest also die of heartbreak."

It's really an animal raised by elves.

Cecil only dared to express this feeling in his heart, and silently followed Dali forward. Unexpectedly, Dali stopped in front of the tall metal gate: "Go by yourself, just report your name, I won't go .”

Cecil said angrily: "Are you so afraid of seeing your girlfriend?"

"Take care of me!" Dali roared angrily, seeing the guard at the door looking over, he jumped three feet away like a ball that had been pricked by a needle, and ran away in an instant, "Come out and wait for me after reading it— —”

Cecil, who was tossed by the altitude sickness and had only one breath left, couldn't catch up. He could only watch helplessly as the creature disappeared into the far end of the horizon. I really don't know what Dali's lungs are made of. Run like a rabbit.He let out a heavy breath, prayed for the relief of his headache, walked slowly towards the doorman, reported his name, and explained the reason for his visit. After a while, Vincent's pleasing face appeared inside the door.

"Welcome, Commander Cecil." Vincent said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"Come here on a griffin." Cecil said weakly. Except for him, Ang and the griffin trainer both adapted faster than him. Although this shows that his body is stronger, it is still painful. "A request before I go to the library, is there any solution to altitude sickness?"

"Altitude sickness?"

"It's... an invisible curse."

"Ah, this." Vincent said, "Just give you a protective magic."

Vincent put his index finger and middle finger together, and gently tapped Cecil's forehead. He felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face, and after a while, the headache was greatly relieved.

"Use this protective magic several times a day, and it will gradually decrease as you stay here longer, and you will be able to adapt after a while." Vincent explained, "However, some people still can't adapt, and some people don't The Invisible Curse's resistance is not strong, and it will fall down soon after contact, which is unfortunate."

"Well, acute pulmonary edema." Cecil has lost the energy to change his words, "Remember to tell outsiders here not to run, try to keep still, take a small breath, and it's best not to fly... It's the griffin, It’s better to walk on flat ground, or Roman beasts will do.” Seeing Vincent’s bewildered expression, he sighed, “In short, come here slowly and give your body a process of adaptation.”

Vincent nodded: "You are really strange, Dali is right, right, what about Dali?"

"Run away, I can point you in the direction of his escape."

"It's okay, his girlfriend has a way to track him, just get around here."

Hearing this, Cecil was very happy.

The High Court Library is a small three-story building. There are hollow pillars at the entrance, including relief carvings on the door eaves. The overall style is very exquisite, but this building has no signage, and there is no sign to indicate its identity. High Court People are really awkward.

It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and Cecil was allowed to go in alone. The first floor was a small hall surrounded by sofas covered with a layer of dust.There are stairs along the wall, and after going up, there are rows of bookshelves, no different from the libraries on the earth. He took down a book in the shape of a leaf, and when he flipped through it, he found that it was actually a real leaf, densely written with bamboo The bug-like fonts, looking at them, he was shocked to find that these fonts really twisted and wriggled, so frightened that he closed the book and put it back on the shelf, then shook his hand for a long time.

Nima, there really is everything in this world!

Cecil didn't dare to flip through the books again. Fortunately, all the spines had titles, most of them were "Records of the Disappearance of a Certain Civilization" and the like, and a few were "Searching for a Record of the Success of a Certain Civilization". Counting "A Certain Civilization Has Died Because of Farts", he hesitated for a long time and decided to take it down to read. He successfully read the dream of a mental patient after he smoked, and obtained 99 layers of psychological shadow.

After browsing around hastily, Cecil finally found an ancient bamboo slip on the top floor. This is exactly the one that Dali said was "very similar to the writing in your hometown".

It was a description in classical Chinese. When he saw it for the first time, Cecil thought he had gone back again, and this book could hardly be called a "book". There were only three pieces of bamboo in total, which were extremely brief. The information that came out made him both confused and disturbed.

[In Jin Taiyuan, Wuling people fished for a living.Walking along the edge of the stream, forgetting the distance of the road. 】

These are the first two sentences of Peach Blossom Spring.

【Death, forget it. 】

This is the middle.

[This is not my hometown. 】

This is the end.

Cecil felt that this was more like the ravings of an old man on his deathbed. Dali said that these scrolls were all magic books. In order to prevent misunderstandings, the scrolls were all direct reproductions of the scene at that time, and they were recorded as soon as possible. Recorded, and those who could not be recorded also tried to record the original text directly, so this volume of classical Chinese records in his hand appeared.

It seems like an ancient person has no way to go back after time travel. Why did Gaoting people record this in the extinct civilization?

Cecil was going to rest at High Court for the night, and the altitude sickness was tormenting him, and Vincent asked him if he wanted to see the scene where Dali was beaten by his girlfriend—how could this be missed—but suddenly This beautiful plan was broken.

Ange walked over quickly, and said in a hurry, "You don't have a mail roll with you?"

"Communication volume?" Cecil was puzzled, "What?"

After Ange described it, Cecil realized that it was a parchment scroll, which was left by Cecil for Q&A explanation, and the knights used it as a mobile phone.

"I left it at home, why?"

"His Highness Langdon urgently summoned us to go back."

Cecil was inexplicably upset when he heard it, and Langdon watched too closely, which made him a little uncomfortable. After all, his life has always been free, or helpless.

"What?" he asked warily.

"Enemies have appeared near Moon City."

"Enemy?" Cecil cheered up, "Who is it?"

"Uh... I can't call it anyone. In short, His Royal Highness Langdon hopes that you will return immediately without delay."

Cecil half believed in Langdon and half thought it was a trap. However, Ange repeatedly emphasized that this urgent call could never be for personal reasons, and that it would be reported to the Knights afterwards. He had confidence in Langdon's character. Still on the way back.

Vincent sent Cecil out of the city with some regrets. Dali's girlfriend is still on the trail, and I'm afraid we won't see the beating scene.He praised tea lavishly. Although the Highgarden elves don't often eat real food, people in the plateau area always love water, not to mention that tea has a refreshing effect.

Cecil successfully obtained the friendship of the Highgarden elves and a long-term tea order at a very favorable price.

"If there is a chance, I would also like to see the Rose of Highgarden." Cecil said politely, "I wonder if there is a chance to get one from you?"

Unexpectedly, when Vincent heard this, his expression suddenly became very strange, and he fled in panic after saying a few words.

Cecil instinctively said something wrong, and after leaving the city, Ange explained thoughtfully: "The roses of Highgarden are only for love, that's what the elves of Highgarden have stipulated, if you don't give them to your loved ones, they won't give them to you." Not for sale."

Cecil: "...Is this rose expensive?"

"It's so expensive that you vomit blood."

Nima, the hype of the Highgarden elves is also well done!

After Cecil sighed, he remembered that he asked Vincent for roses just now... Well, this time it's not the fault of the other party's misunderstanding.

The return journey is much faster, about four or five hours. If the griffin flies at a speed that can blow a person into a stroke, the time can be shortened to less than two hours.Whenever this happened, Cecil had to lament that the distance between cities in this place was too great, and the so-called suitable spots for building a "nation" were too few.According to Langdon, in some places a "country" is connected to a "country", and the two countries even share a wall to save money, while some countries have to build two walls to stick to each other, because the relationship is bad.

Cecil buried his upper body in the smelly feathers, endured the high-altitude wind, and guessed what the invading enemy was all the way. Langdon directly gave Ang a magic coordinate. The ominous premonition is also getting heavier.

Cecil nearly fell off the griffin when he saw the so-called "enemy."

That is a Gundam.

That's right, it's that Gundam, the classic robot image created by Japan, and this one has big wings. It's the robot protagonist in the drama "Gundam W", which created the road to idolization of Gundam.

Cecil was completely dumbfounded when he saw this thing, and sat on the griffin like a log, unable to speak for a while, until Ange urged him to get off the ground-the griffin had already landed.

What the hell!Why build a Gundam!

Cecil's heart has screamed and cycled a million times, not because the Gundam is too powerful, but because this thing belongs to "man's romance", the so-called useless thing.

Human beings, in terms of body structure, are very failed evolutionary products. The head is too big and the mother has to be born prematurely, because the mother will not be able to give birth after the head matures. Walking upright makes the upper limbs degenerate and cannot compete with the strength of the lower limbs. Bipedal walking lacks stability, and the spine is under great pressure. Over time, the cervical spine will be damaged just because of normal life, making the core component of the brain age accordingly.

In short, if human beings have no wisdom, they are just weak chickens, which will definitely be eliminated by nature.

It can be deduced from this that it is a waste for a robot to create a human figure, unless the robot is intended to develop intelligence. However, there is no need for the brain of the robot to be built on the head, or in other words, it does not even need to have a head!

The most suitable stable form for a robot is a spider, which can adapt to various terrains and environments, and has flexible and extended limbs.

Again, robots should not take human form! !

Cecil had to use 100 million times of perseverance to hold back the words, and stared indifferently at the slow-moving robot not far away—in fact, it was not slow, but the robot was too big , seems a bit slow.

"It's coming towards you." Langdon didn't know when he arrived. "When you came, it changed its direction."

"Me?" Cecil asked in confusion, "Why me?"

"I heard from Ange that you blew up a relic on the way to Highgarden?"

What the hell!

Cecil suddenly recovered from his stunned state, and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm just curious..."

"This thing appeared from that ruin." Langdon said calmly, "The place on its chest, see? The magic elk has always used that black piece that doesn't grow anything as a road sign."

Cecil took a closer look, and sure enough, the piece of asphalt on the ground was just inlaid on Gundam's chest at this moment, and he finally understood why those solar panels were supplying power.

"But those solar panels have been flooded long ago!" Cecil still couldn't hold back, and complained loudly, "And why did you bury a Gundam here! Damn, I can't believe this sentence is actually I said it! Fuck, what kind of magic is this to bury a Gundam?! Did I come here to fight Gundam?"

Fortunately, only Langdon was nearby when Cecil yelled, and the deafening sound of Gundam's walking overshadowed everything else.

"You recognize this thing?" Langdon asked.

"I... can't claim to know each other, but this thing is a toy!" Cecil said bitterly, and then realized something was wrong, he looked at Langdon's calm face, "Uh, you don't look Fear?"

Langdon glanced over, very lightly: "It's just a magic puppet, it's just a bit bigger, and it's stupidly made into a human shape, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Cecil: "..."

Then why are you calling me back in such a hurry?

Cecil lingered on these words for a long time but swallowed them back. He hadn't seen Langdon's usual smile since meeting him again, and Langdon with a straight face was still a little scary.

As Langdon said, the knights of the legion led by Eugene stood behind Gundam, shouting slogans and casting a large-scale integrated magic. According to Russell, this magic is called "Arrow of Persuasion", but from the heart-shaped shape of the arrow and the tail of the arrow Judging by the fluttering ribbons, Cecil thought it might as well be called "Gay Love".

The arrow took shape in the air, and suddenly a white sonic boom burst out, and then it pierced Gundam's knee!

Gundam made a sharp metal bending sound, struggled a few times and then fell down slowly, plunged into the ground and never got up again.The sound of mechanical operation can be heard in the distance, and soon there is only the roar of the engine.

What is this thing powered by?By the way, can this thing be used to make industrial materials after dismantling it?Fuck, it seems pretty good!

While Cecil was thinking about dismantling the Gundam, Langdon beside him turned into a giant cat and walked towards the Gundam with leisurely steps.He unconsciously stared at the cat's tail that was swinging with the enchanting steps, trying to see clearly under the blue fur...

"What are you looking at?" Russell asked.

Cecil shivered for a moment, then stammered, "No, I didn't watch anything, I just thought it looked pretty good."

"Hehe." Russell's sarcasm quickly increased, "Langdon has been in a bad mood during this time."

"I found out too!" Cecil was eager to change the subject, "Why?"

"Because you're not here."

"...He was in a bad mood before I left."

Russell was silent for a moment, then suddenly said solemnly, "Don't rely too much on him, it won't end well."

"what?"

"Langdon is used to controlling other people's feelings. One day you will understand that he does not belong to anyone, and no one can really get him."

Cecil was stunned for a while, feeling that there was nothing wrong with this. Looking at the giant cat climbing up the Gundam, Cecil said in a strange way: "Did you like him?"

"No." Russell replied with lightning speed.

Oakes snorted heavily, turned around and left, Russell rolled his eyes at Cecil and chased after him.Cecil heaved a sigh of relief after the pair left, watching the giant cat jumping on the giant robot with a complicated expression, suddenly remembered something, and ran over while shouting: "Come down! There's radiation! Come down! It's dangerous of!"

A muffled warning came from Langdon: "Don't come over!"

Cecil stopped in his tracks and said uncertainly, "That's radiation..."

"I'm not afraid, don't come here." The giant cat continued to climb after dropping this sentence. Soon, he reached the asphalt-covered place. After the huge claws slapped and scratched, an explosion resounded throughout the area .

Cecil was knocked to the ground by the shock wave. He wanted to see how Langdon was doing and at the same time wanted to escape. If the nuclear power furnace exploded, not a single living thing within tens of kilometers would be able to escape, let alone a few hundred meters.However, before the mushroom cloud exploded completely, it rolled inward as if being sucked by something. The air ionization phenomenon brought about by the nuclear reaction flashed and then quickly declined. The whole process took only a few seconds.

A big cat with fluorescent blue light gracefully jumped off the robot, and Langdon's hair had completely turned into a nuclear science fiction blue. It stands to reason that any living thing in the center of a nuclear explosion would be gasified on the spot, and even the cells would be destroyed. Will not stay, but he was unharmed, sitting slowly on the grassland licking the fur on his paws.

Slowly, the fluorescence of Langdon's hair gradually went out, as if he had absorbed it, and finally, he turned back into almost black blue hair, and then returned to the Langdon that Cecil was familiar with.

"Ancient survivors." Moyer said meaningfully, "If the radiation you are talking about is the black patch on this magic puppet, I know it. This kind of thing often appears in the deep underground. It is invisible and intangible. When your hair and The teeth fell out and the skin began to fester. We underground residents also hate this thing, and there is no way to prevent it, but the ancient remnants are different. Not only are they not afraid of this thing, but they also feed on this thing. Can you believe it? The thing that Xi killed us turned out to be their food, and every time they ate this kind of thing, the ancient survivors would become stronger."

For the first time, Cecil felt what fear is, what Luther said was the sense of powerlessness in the face of gods.

Moyer suddenly approached Cecil's ear and whispered, "I'm most interested in why such a powerful ancient remnant came here, and who exterminated them?"

"Moyer."

After hearing the sound, Moye ran away like lightning.

Cecil turned his head and saw the familiar smiling Langdon.

"Welcome back, dear Cecil."
