Pillars of Ita

Chapter 937 Chapter 260, Act Eight, A Communication
"You did a great job," Su Changfeng praised him fiercely at the other end of the communication terminal, "We will find a way to extradite the young man back to the star gate, but there may still be some twists and turns in the empire. I sent a special operations team to pick you up. By the way, you probably know the leader, I asked him to bring you something—"

He looked at the young man in front of him with some emotion.

At that time, when attracting the other party to enter, many people opposed it, and it was he and Ambassador Liao who resisted all opinions.But the other party obviously didn't embarrass anyone. On the contrary, it can be said that it greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.Whether it's the Battle of the North or the Journey to the Empire.

Of course, Stargate not only sent him to the empire to perform missions alone, but the other teams either hadn’t made any progress, or hadn’t even had time to set off from Colin-Ishurian.And this side not only grasped the clues, but even caught the person in one fell swoop.

"The embassy is also full of praise for you." Su Changfeng said, "That witness is very important for the Stargate. Although we have been able to control the third division of the Super Sports League after World War I in the Northern Territory. Some people, but to openly complete the charges and convict those hiding on the other side of the stargate, stronger evidence is needed, and that young man is one of them."

"The other side of the star gate... is the earth?" Fang Yan asked.

Su Changfeng nodded.

"The focus of the operation has always been on the side of the star gate. It is necessary to investigate the attacks on the star gate port and the terrorist activities that have occurred across the star gate on the earth in the past two years. To investigate who is behind these people, And secretly transfer benefits, but the identities of these people are a mystery, and most of them are not even in the country—”

Fang Plover seemed to understand but not understand.

At this time, a huge construction sound came from behind Su Changfeng, and the sound even reached the end of the communication terminal, shaking the light screen.Su Changfeng turned his head at this time and glanced behind him.

Fang Plover also looked at the environment on the other side curiously.The other party doesn’t look like they are in Stargate Port at the moment. The narrow passage is surrounded by solid granite, but the flashing dark red emergency lights and a narrow passage full of pipelines don’t look like they are in Etalia either. .

"You are...?"

"This is not Xingmen Port," Su Changfeng looked like he hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, his bearded face was haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.Noticing Fang Yan's expression, he shook his head and replied, "We are currently in a mine underground in West Siberia, and the communication environment here is a bit poor..."

Some mine underground in West Siberia?
Fang Plover suddenly remembered the recent incidents in the community. It was said that a group of miners disappeared in a certain area of ​​Western Siberia.Although he didn't believe everything, he knew more or less.

But why did Su Changfeng and the others go to West Siberia to investigate this matter?

What does this have to do with Stargate?
He knew that Su Changfeng was still in the ranks of the Xingmen Port security force, otherwise there must be someone else who came to contact him at this moment.The Stargate Port Guard is subordinate to the Stargate Port, and other units on the other side of the Stargate are not qualified to exceed their authority.

Seeing his expression, Su Changfeng knew what he had guessed.

He thought for a while, and said: "Actually, it's time to tell you about some things. After all, you may be entrusted to continue the in-depth investigation. You may have to prepare for some things in advance, such as the next star gate. It will be expanded further."

"I know that." Fang Yan replied.

He was no longer that idiot who didn't know the news at all and only knew to rush forward with his head buried.Not to mention that there is a Miss Nightingale in the team who is always paying attention to what is happening in the community.

And he himself occasionally pays attention to official announcements.

But Su Changfeng shook his head, "The publicly released information is only a very small part. In short, the impact of this matter may be much greater than you imagined. I can't tell you the specific reasons for the time being. In short, you should be mentally prepared. Be prepared, there may be changes in the Stargate next."

Stargate changes?
In Fang Plover's memory, the star gate has never changed since it appeared.But Su Changfeng should not make fun of this kind of thing, not to mention that he has also vaguely noticed some information. At present, all countries are expanding the size of the Xingmen Port security force.

He also remembered the reminders from Captain Quelod and Miss Scape that Dawn Star seemed to have noticed something, but he never contacted there after that.

When Fang Yan was once again worried about the people of Dawn Star, Su Changfeng just mentioned this matter, "By the way," he said, "Didn't you entrust us to help you investigate the matter of Dawn Star not long ago?" Is it about the two chief and deputy heads of the star? Actually, I have already found out that one of them is Quelod, a male citizen of the Russian Federation, 37 years old; the other is Scarpe, a female former national of the United States of America, 29 years old and now Has been naturalized in the Russian Federation."

"Miss Scape, Mr. Quelod!" Fang Yan suddenly heard the news, and even forgot about the star gate, he couldn't help asking, "Are they all right, the other members of Dawn Star?" Is everyone okay?"

"Not too sure," Su Changfeng replied, "but the investigation report said that these two people have been re-recruited by the second division. In fact, they were transferred to the special operations force of the Russian Federation Stargate Port. As for the others No news right now, but it must be about the same."

"what!?"

Fang Plover was taken aback, and lost his composure for a while when he was shocked by the news.

He doesn't know much about the Federal Stargate Port Special Operations Force, but members of the Stargate Port Special Operations Force in the third division must at least have the qualifications of a selector.So this re-enlistment for the second division, what kind of enlistment method is it?

He couldn't help asking: "What does it mean to be recruited again?"

"It's literally." Su Changfeng was not surprised by his surprise, "This is exactly what I want to tell you. The expansion of Xingmen Port is not just to release more access permits, but also includes access to the already lost The reuse of Stargate-qualified selectors. Next, you may see many acquaintances, but don’t be too surprised.”

But how is this not surprising?
"But people who have lost Xinghui," Fang Yan asked in bewilderment, "how can they return to the star gate?"

"Do you still remember your origin?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Steal...smuggling?"

Su Changfeng glared at him.

Because Fang Ploy was too surprised, his thinking was a little short-circuited for a while, and he stammered and changed his words: "No... they are tourists, but after a large number of tourists are put into the star gate, what good will this do for all countries? And it has already lost People who have acquired Starlight, can they still enter the Stargate through the tourist channel?"

He still doesn't understand.

Su Changfeng nodded, "It wasn't possible before, but maybe it will be in the future. This is one of the changes in the Stargate. Two..." He hesitated for a moment, then stopped talking, "The remaining part is now It’s still in the confidentiality regulations, so I can’t tell you for the time being. But the expansion of the chosen ones is a trend, and it’s also one of the next plans of various countries. It’s also closely related to the expansion plan of Stargate’s B and C areas..."

"All in all," Su Changfeng concluded, "Little Plover, you should be able to understand by now that all countries have put all their eggs in one basket on the Stargate Project. It may profoundly change the future of mankind, but no one knows whether it is good or not. Bad. I tell you this to let you understand that what we are doing on the other side of the stargate is meaningful."

"But how could it be so radical all of a sudden..."

Fang Yan couldn't help asking.

Humanity has been steadily advancing the Stargate Project for the past two centuries.Since the first generation of pioneers, generations of drafters have entered it, not only to develop and expand the ultra-sports business, but also to bring prosperity to commercial sports.

More importantly, humans have also obtained countless useful information from Starlight. Technology has been advancing by leaps and bounds since a century ago. Human detectors can easily reach the edge of the Kuiper Belt today, and they are only one step away from the cradle.

Because of this, there were not many voices of opposition to the expansion plan of the B and C areas of the Star Gate Port from the beginning, and human beings are gradually deepening their contact with the world on the other side of the Star Gate and completing the transformation of their own civilization.

Although over the years, the terrorist activities across the star gate and the cultists who frequently appeared on the earth have attracted some criticism for the star gate plan, the public protests that are secretly instigated by who is behind the scenes are also becoming more and more common on the earth.

But is it really necessary for governments to take their plans directly to this point?

That sounds like preparing for some kind of crisis.

some kind of crisis—

A flash in Fang Yan's mind, "The third disaster star, are the governments of various countries preparing for the crisis?"

"You are getting smarter, little plovers," Su Changfeng praised, "The third disaster may come at any time. The information held by the upper echelons of various countries is far more in-depth than ordinary recruitment, and this has long been expected. And it’s very much tied to what you might do next.”

"What am I going to do next?"

"The third crystal tower, have you forgotten?" Su Changfeng said, "The important witness who appeared in Elpaxin has been arrested, but the third crystal tower connected to the two crystal towers in the north has not yet been arrested." The whereabouts are unknown. The other party attaches so much importance to the third crystal tower that they would rather give up the plan in Elpaxin to keep it. There must be some important plan behind it. And about this crystal tower, we actually have another thing I want to entrust you—"

"another thing?"

"The crystal tower of the Craftsman Association is built on the etheric pulse. It is one of the greatest projects completed by the Etalians in the past thousand years. Only by using countless crystal towers to make the etheric pulse change from violent to orderly can the It is meekly used by mortals. And under the flow of ether, it is actually the magic power network that runs through all continents and above the sky—or to put it another way, it is the symbol of the sea of ​​ether.”

"Because this matter is very important to the alchemists, they are actually investigating this matter as soon as possible. The craftsmen of Colin-Ishurian believe that the shadow man may have used the third crystal tower to connect to a newer branch of the magic power network." In the deep layer, they hope that you can follow this clue and investigate the shallow layer of the Aether Sea when you find the third crystal tower..."

Su Changfeng paused, "In addition, we also have a task. If possible, you can check the Gay index in Xintaan when you go to various parts of the empire. The reserves of Gay crystals in various air and land are greatly reduced. This You must have heard the rumor, and we want to confirm whether it is related to Gwanghae's change."

Gwanghae is about to go out.

Fang Plover suddenly remembered what the lizard people had told him.It's just that he didn't know much about the sea of ​​light in Sinthas at that time, and only now did he notice a hint of its meaning, but will the sea of ​​light really go out, and what is its connection with the Gay crystals on all continents?
He looked at Su Changfeng, a little embarrassed.It's okay to investigate the third crystal tower. Anyway, he and the cultists are now in an irreconcilable relationship.But is it too early for him to investigate the shallow layer of the etheric sea and investigate the changes in the sea of ​​light?

The Seven Seas Brigade is just a small adventure group.

Although he caught the military's target by coincidence, it was because the other party slammed into the door. He happened to have the holy emblems of Amelia and Marlan's God's Chosen, and he happened to know about the Silver Tower and the scroll. The matter of the Knights.

Su Changfeng obviously thought of this at the moment, and couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much, I'm just telling you this information, not telling you to do it. But you always It’s because you acted so miraculously that everyone couldn’t help but have expectations beyond that, maybe you can create another miracle this time, and I believe many people think so.”

Fang Plover nodded.

His heart was still pounding, but he wasn't nervous.On the one hand, it was the surprise and joy of finally learning about Miss Scarpe and Captain Quelod, and knowing that Dawn Star might return to Etalia in the near future.

On the other hand, I also learned so much shocking news.

The changes in the Stargate Port, the plans of the governments of various countries, and the arrival of the third disaster star.And there are some things that Su Changfeng didn't say, but he can actually guess that the countries are so urgently expanding the Stargate plan, the arrival of the third disaster star must not be as simple as imagined.

Is the third curse star really just affecting Etalia?

Su Changfeng himself is also in the underground mining area of ​​West Siberia at the moment. When will Stargate be responsible for investigating affairs on the earth, let alone a disappearance case that happened in China?
In fact, this is not the first time. Over the years, there have been frequent anomalies on the earth, and various rumors have been spread widely in the community. Although most of them have been falsified, there is still a discontent among the people. small voice.

That's why the protest movements that have been instigated.

Reconnecting with the words he had heard from the movieman in the northern border, Fang Plenti had a faint feeling that the arrival of the third disaster star might greatly change all the patterns at both ends of the star gate in the future.

Su Changfeng told him all this in advance. On the one hand, his activities in the empire seemed to have gained the trust of Stargate Port. On the other hand, it seemed to give him a sense of urgency.Fang Yan did feel such a sense of urgency, changes are coming, and the Seven Seas Brigade must find out the future course before then.

Due to the too much and complicated information he obtained at a time, he forgot his original purpose for a while, and stared blankly in front of the light screen for a while.

Instead, Su Changfeng looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

It was only then that Fang Yan came to his senses, looked at the other party and asked, "I want to know the identity of that young man."

Su Changfeng has said so much, but that young man is the starting point of all this. The plan of the mastermind behind it in the northern border, as well as the coordinates of the lost third crystal tower, are all the same as that young man behind it. connect together.

To understand all this, he must at least know who the other party is and why the military attaches so much importance to it.

Unfortunately, at the arbitration court that day, the young man finally chose not to say a word.In the realm of truth, the other party either speaks the truth, but also has the right to remain silent.

Although in that case, anyone with a discerning eye can see that not saying a word is itself an answer.Colluding with the cultists and launching a terrorist attack against neighboring countries in El Pachin is indisputable evidence for any place in Etalia.

So Ori's paladins captured the young man on the spot with the permission of the keeper and under the watchful eyes of the three gods.However, under the supervision of the Ori Knights, the other party did not disclose any information, and the only thing they had was this witness.

Of course, the patrol guards were also to blame, and the director of the General Administration was also arrested and imprisoned along with a large number of people.The Seven Sorcerers family was also implicated, but they were a little better off, they were just being investigated by the temple.

After all, what was overturned was only the investigation results of the Ayn Bullock incident, and the existence of the Ash-Lynn manuscript proved that the original statement of the Seven Wizards family was reasonable, and the only person involved in it was that of the empire. owl eagle.

However, a person of Duke Hawke's status can completely shirk that he is just being bullied by others. Although this is extremely detrimental to his reputation in the royal court, it is better than falling into the quagmire of colluding with a cult.

As long as that young man doesn't speak for a day, Fang Plover will have nothing to do with that Duke.

And the real key to this matter is actually the attitude of the empire itself.

"It's okay to tell you now," Su Changfeng replied, "The young man has an absolute kinship relationship with the person in charge of a foundation behind the North American branch of the Super Sports League, although the kinship doesn't explain anything. But With this witness in hand, we can apply to investigate it further."

"These small characters in the country are nothing to us. Even if they are cleaned up this time, those people can always arrange another group of people to infiltrate." He shook his head, "But as long as this person is found out The relationship with the Dragon Fire Guild and the Crow Claw Temple, then we can formally apply to the Stargate General Administration to request the first competition area to conduct a self-inspection, and we even send people to 'assist' in investigating this matter, so as to get the root cause Solve the trouble."

"Because it involves cross-border and cross-regional stargate cooperation, we must have definite evidence, and this witness is so important to us."

"But since this is the case," Fang Yan suddenly thought of something, "Recalling the process of arresting, I always feel that it was a bit too easy."

"It seems that you have also noticed it." Su Changfeng looked at the other party with some surprise. In his impression, this kid was still a typical stunned young man, who could recklessly move forward for the goal, so he came up with the smuggling star. The gate, the thing that alarmed the entire Stargate organization.

But it seems that the other party has grown to this point without knowing it.

He was silent for a while before asking: "Then tell me."

"I only felt this after the fact," Fang Ploy replied while recalling the arbitration in Ai Yin Brock not long ago, "Although it is true that the Seven Sorcerers Family, the Imperials have given us a lot of resistance .But throughout the whole thing, it always seemed to me that one side was invisible."

He raised his head and looked at Su Changfeng.

The two saw the answer from their respective eyes.

The first division, the Super Sports League.
