Age of Mysticism

Saint Lun City of the Golden Shield Empire.

The empire has been preparing for this celebration for a long time. The main road in the imperial city has been completely rebuilt, the road has been widened, and the buildings on both sides have been covered with neon lights. The imperial flag was hung on the street lamps, and gardens were opened along the roadside. The square in front of the palace has also undergone a major renovation. In the middle is a large fountain with stocking swans in the water.

The major newspapers in the empire spared no effort to promote the celebration, publishing different stories about the Northern War every day.

Although many people know that this celebration is to push Queen Christina to the throne, the publicity is to celebrate the victory of the Northern War. The Snow Army Corps transferred from the northern border has conducted many drills for the military parade. The Royal Knights, Palace Guards, City Guard Corps, the Empire's First Magical Corps, and the Empire's Second Magical Corps will also send elite forces to participate in the parade. parade.

God will display a variety of new weapons at the military parade, and this information is also sent to countries around the world along with the invitation letter, inviting people from all countries to come to watch the ceremony.

At this time, the war in the Emerald Forest has spread throughout the world.

The speed and strength of the Golden Shield Empire's support to the Emerald Forest is seen by all countries in the world. The most widely concerned are the three weapons displayed by the Golden Shield Empire in the Emerald Forest: the Kirov-class super-heavy steam airship, the magic titan, and the steam titan.

This means that the Golden Shield Empire is not only the first to establish the new magic science, but also the first to apply magic to weapons and equipment.

Sanye Wang, who once visited the Kirov steam airship, said that it is a weapon that changes the future air combat mode. In the future, steam airships will not only undertake support tasks on the ground, but also have the ability to perform air superiority operations alone.

The significance of the appearance of the Kirov-class super-heavy steam airship exceeds the significance of the appearance of the Dreadnought-class battleship. If the Golden Shield Empire applies their magical technology to warships, countries may not be able to develop the Dreadnought, and it will already be an obsolete weapon.

In addition, the steam titan's outstanding combat effectiveness in the defense of the Emerald King's Court was greatly praised by the forest elves. The Emerald Forest has decided to purchase a batch of steam titans from the Golden Shield Empire to use in the battle against the remaining headhunters.

There is also the Magic Titan, driven by Meteor Shoufu himself, who sealed the Hunting Angel King in one fell swoop during the defensive battle of the Emerald King's Court, showing that this magic weapon has the ability to fight against the combat power of ancient civilizations.

It can be said that through the Emerald Forest War, the Golden Shield Empire has shown its muscles to the world from all aspects of economy, politics, and military affairs. It makes countries feel that although they are the same human civilization as the Golden Shield Empire, there is an unspeakable gap.

Originally, because of the threat of the World Bank, many countries were not prepared to participate in the celebration held by the Golden Shield Empire, but when they learned what happened in the Emerald Forest, they quickly formed a viewing group. Regardless of the size and level of the viewing group, the attitude must be shown, and the military parade must be watched carefully.

Therefore, a few days before the start of the celebration, the spectator groups from various countries gathered together and rushed to Rage City as if they had made an agreement, and flocked to Saint Lun City after obtaining the entry permit.

More people came, and the workload of the Imperial Bureau of Secret Affairs doubled. Princess Agatha was so busy every day that she didn't even have time to go to the Marquis's Mansion to find Luke. Luke is also very busy. For the viewing groups sent by various countries, as the chief minister of the empire, he must personally receive them, and sometimes he doesn't even have time to eat.

Some people are busy and others are free.

The Clear Sky Museum is closed during this period, and anyone who comes to visit is refused to enter. The students of the college are also strictly forbidden to leave the museum, and they all attend classes honestly and conscientiously.

After teaching her own class, Qingkong puts her energy on reading and experimenting.

Shelley returned from the Emerald Forest and was immediately arranged for the final supernatural transformation operation.

Shelley lay flat on the operating table.

The strong anesthetic took effect, and Qing Kong, who was wearing a surgical gown, took off Shelley's left eyepatch. The moment she opened her eyelids with her hand, the petrification skill was passively released, Qingkong opened the ice crystal eye and blocked the skill's invasion with a crisp sound.

"The 'Petrochemical' skill is out of control, so don't look into Shelley's left eye." Qingkong said to the students around the operating table: "This is a very typical operation combining extraordinary transformation and secret surgery. During the operation, I will give you a detailed explanation. You should take good notes, and you will have to take the next exam.

Marus, you are highly resistant to mental skills, take over from the professor and go to the opposite side of me. "

"Yes, Miss Clear Sky." The angel Marus took over Bruce Ban's position as Clear Sky's first assistant.

Qingkong opened Shelley's eyes with two eyelid openers, picked up a special potion and dropped a drop on the pupil respectively.

Shelley's pupils were stimulated to shrink, and the left eye showed a snake-like vertical pupil, and blue-gray light shot out from the gap in the vertical pupil.

"Marus, record the decay of the magic energy. When the decay reaches the fourth scale, add another drop of the dispersion potion."

"Okay, Miss Weather Sky." The angel Marus carefully observed Shelley's pupil radiation.

Qingkong was on the blackboard beside her, explaining to the students the underlying source model of Medusa's petrified eye skills, and what variables caused the final flaws in the process of Shelley's growth after undergoing extraordinary transformation.

"...

Our surgery is to plant the real pupil of Medusa in Shelley's eyes. The first step of the operation is to release all the energy in Shelley's left eye. The second step is to perform a longitudinal pupillary change operation on her right eye, and take the magic crystal silk from the left eye to make the right snake eye.

Who wants to be an assistant in the second step of surgery? "

All the students raised their hands.

Qingkong called by name and said, "Little Fatty, come here!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Skylight!"

Amidst the envious voices of his classmates, Xiaopang made preparations for the operation.

Sunny Sky continued teaching.

After about half an hour, the angel Malus informed Shelley that the energy released from his left eye had been completed.

The operation continued.

An hour later, the reconstruction of the right eye was completed.

Qingkong took out two pieces of cornea from the petri dish with tweezers and carefully covered Shelley's two pupils, took out two tear-stained stones and put them in the inner corners of the eyes, then continued to take out the prepared mysterious props from the petri dish and put them in the eyes one by one .

Finally, he took out a box and took out Medusa's Hairy Snake Head from it.

After being tempered by the third experimental subject, the two snake eyes on the snake's head were all petrified, which is the subject of the secret technique to be cast this time.

Qingkong took out the snake's eyes, and at first glance they looked like two ordinary small stone balls. She put two snake eyes on Shelley's eyes, and two gleams of light shot out from the pupils to hold up the snake eyes, and the two stones were suspended like that, gradually showing gleams from inside.

"Who wants to read the secret language?"

All students raised their hands.

Clear sky roll call: "Heidi Siko!"

"Great!" Haidishiko jumped up happily: "I knew that Miss Skylight would definitely choose me this time!"

Haidixiko ran to the operating table quickly, and was grabbed by the angel Marus: "Although the energy in the pupil of Medusa has dissipated, it is still dangerous to look directly at it. Follow the rules of the operating table, Any slight mistake could have irreparable consequences."

Heidi Siko immediately apologized: "I'm sorry! I was a little too excited. Can we start now?"

Clear Sky has already written the secret technique on the blackboard: "You can start."

The awe of the secret art made Heidixiko put away his playful expression, and solemnly recited: "Kazilan's big eyes of recovery."

The secret technique starts with the secret language.

All the adjuncts scatter together to form starlight, and the corneas on the pupils light up as bright swirls. The two stone ball snake eyes shot into the bright vortex, as if falling into a pool and splashing a piece of brilliance.

Qingkong took off the surgical gloves and threw them aside: "It will take about fifteen minutes for the secret surgery to end, and the rest of the surgery will be left to you. I have a guest visiting, and Professor Ban is very optimistic about them. Shelley is a general who is valued by the chief assistant of Meteorite. .”

Bruce Ban replied, "Yes, Miss Skylight."

Qingkong walked out the door, and the students who were obedient just now rushed to the operating table together.

At this time, Jenny stood outside the door of the operating room, and when she saw Qingkong came out, she said, "Let me tell you that Ms. Teresia is visiting. I told her that you don't accept visitors, but she insisted on staying and waiting for you. "

"This is the stubbornness unique to angels." Clear Sky didn't blame Jenferne: "Take me to see Teresia and see what news she brought me from Sky City."

"She's waiting for you in the reception room on the second floor."

Qingkong followed Jenny to the reception room on the second floor, where Teresia was sitting gracefully by the window, looking at the street outside, drinking steaming tea.

Qingkong waved Jenny to leave, then walked to the chair next to Theresia and sat down.

"I heard from the Templars outside the temple that you went back to Sky City, why did you come back so soon?"

Teresia looked at Qingkong and said with a different emotion: "I also heard that you appeared in the Emerald Magic Academy some time ago, why didn't you tell me when you went?"

"I know why you came to me." Qingkong took out a letter: "Princess Dai'er of the Empire studied abroad anonymously at the Emerald Magic Academy. She was the first headhunter she discovered. I did it for Princess Dai'er." I secretly went to the Emerald Academy of Magic because of safety considerations. Helping the forest elves deal with the headhunters is the request of the princess, and it is also what I should do as a grassland elf.

I caught Siphus, the Holy Inquisitor, and I also set him free. Keeping him is useless to me, and it will also make Emerald Magic Academy offend Sky City. It's just that I didn't expect that Sifus would assassinate the Archangel Elzerie. I wonder if there is any deep hatred between them? "

Teresia took the letter and looked at it, and said casually, "How do you know that I came to you because of the assassination of the Archangel Elzerie?"

Clear Sky poured himself a cup of tea: "Because your attitude is very different from usual, I can feel that you are here to ask questions. You asked me about the itinerary to the Emerald Forest, you must have doubted me and Erzelie Archangel assassination related.

Do you still think I have anything to do with this? "

Teresia kept staring at the clear sky, trying to find the characteristics of her lying, but found nothing unusual.

"I'm not sure! This incident hit Sky City too hard. The one who died was an archangel who hated the Sanctuary, but the assassin happened to be a Holy Tribunal. The testimony of the surviving angel in the assassination, Very bad for Sanctuary and Sword of Oath.

The holy angel Siphus was not tortured, nor was he mind-controlled. The assassination took place after Erzelie threatened the Holy Tribunal. It was simply a fanatical Holy Tribunal angel begging for death after committing a big mistake, and took away an archangel who intended to be detrimental to the Holy Tribunal.

With credible testimony and credible motives, a suicide assassination without a mastermind put the contradictions that have always existed in Sky City in a place where everyone can see! "

Qingkong pretended not to be ignorant of Teresia's temptation. She picked up the tea and sipped it slowly, and said at the same time: "Any group, no matter how united it looks from the outside, must have internal contradictions. Sometimes contradictions It is not necessarily a bad thing to show up, if the backlog of conflicts becomes irreconcilable and then erupts, it will not be a trouble that can be solved easily."

Teresia asked: "Miss Weathering Sky, you seem to have your own opinion on the disputes in Sky City."

"No!" Clear Sky denied, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't know what state Sky City is in now. I just casually comforted you, you don't have to take what I said seriously.

Perhaps the incident that you encountered in Sky City was an explosion of irreconcilable backlogs of conflicts. "

Not only did Teresia fail to use Qingkong's words, but her chest seemed to be stuffy with her explanation, and she couldn't utter it.

Teresia gasped for breath to calm the congestion in her chest.

"Miss Qingkong, it seems that you really have nothing to do with the assassination of the Archangel Elzerie. I apologize for doubting you for no reason. I have one more thing I want to ask for your opinion this time. For the sake of my friends, I will not be stingy with your advice."

"What's up?"

Teresia said: "The Archangel Elzerie was assassinated, and a seat was vacated in the Sky City Archangel Conference. The Sword of the Oath wanted me to compete for this position, but I didn't reply him immediately.

I think if I compete for the Archangel at this time, it may intensify the contradictions in Sky City. The Archangel, who has always been gentle, became very angry this time. Archangel Gold proposed to abolish the Sanctuary at this Archangel meeting, and provide psychological counseling to all the Sanctuary Angels.

If I don't compete for the Archangel, the Sanctuary may really be abolished.

Do you have any suggestions for me? "

Qingkong thought about it seriously after listening to it, and replied after a while: "Theresia! I remember I once said that life in St. Lun City has changed you a lot. And Marus, from a A very extreme holy angel turned into a devout scholar.

Compared with you, the Holy Judgment Angel Siphus is a typical counterexample. His worship of the Sword of Oath made it difficult for me to communicate with him, and I just wanted to know the location of the Hunting Queen's lair. The individual cult of the Oathblade may have been the incentive for his incredible assassination. You have to admit that there are big problems inside the Holy Tribunal.

If you don't compete for the Archangel, once the Archangel Conference decides to abolish the Holy Tribunal, it will definitely arouse the rebound of the Holy Tribunal, and if it is not handled well, it will be a civil war.

And if you compete for the Archangel, you will have the ability to solve the problem of the existence of the Holy Tribunal from within the Holy Tribunal. "
