Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 381 Midway

  Helkekin was walking along the sidewalk beside the road. Dalikova glanced at the surrounding ice cave agents, put her hands in her coat pockets, and quickly caught up with Helkkin.

   "What happened to the ground subsidence in the underground test site of the Titan-1 prototype?"

  Helke King replied: "You are no longer Ice Cave Agent, I have no reason to tell you the inside story."

   "That was not an accident!" Dalikova said firmly.

"It is certainly not an accident that so many earthquakes and subsidences occurred at almost the same time. Today's incident was a premeditated attack. The targets of the attack may include Mr. Luke, or Mr. Luke happened to be at an attack point .”

  Darikova was very dissatisfied with Helkkin's answer: "You know what I mean... Did you participate in this accident?"

  Helke King stopped, and their men were standing far away from the entrance of the Da Amba Hotel. The curfew made it impossible to see other pedestrians on the road.

   "You think I murdered Mr. Luke? What good does it do me?"

  Darikova stared at Helkkin, using the interrogation techniques she had learned to judge whether the other party was lying. "I think the accident ... was directed by you and Mr. Luke," she said.

  Helkekin couldn't help laughing: "I taught you, I know very well what you are thinking. Mr. Luke is dead, you must accept this fact."

   "But my gut told me it wasn't that simple, and at the time he... I thought he was firing me, but those words were more likely to be goodbyes.

  And you neither called me back to the ice cave, nor sent someone to kill me. I understand you, you will never let this hidden danger of me go out of control, which means that his protection for me is still valid. "

Helkkin's smile disappeared, and his face gradually became serious: "Darikova, you should cherish your freedom now. Let me tell you, you won't get any answers from me, and you won't find anything to prove your guess. clue.

   Live well, this is Mr. Luke's hope for you. "

   "But..." Darikova still wanted Herkkin to tell the truth.

  Helke King stopped her from continuing to ask: "Mr. Luke is dead, this is the fact. There is no genius steam engineer named Luke in the world anymore. He has completed the task entrusted to him by history..."

  Darikova finally heard Helkkin's implicit expression, and her expression was uncontrollable joy. But professional training allowed her to quickly control her expression. This is a day that should be sad.

   "I see, thank you, Chief Hulkkin. He told me that we will meet in another way, and I will wait for that day to come.

goodbye! "

  Darikova turned and walked away stepping on the snow. She stretched out her hand and threw away the dagger she had been holding. It was the last thing she kept related to the ice cave.

  Helkekin looked at Darikova's receding figure under the street lamp, and said, "I have revoked the restraining order on you, and you can go anywhere you want."

  Darikova waved her hand with her back to Helkkin, and then disappeared in the shadow behind the light.

  …

   Snow City in the northern border of the empire.

  After more than a month of high-intensity offensive and defensive battles, this fortress-style city has long since lost its former majestic appearance. Several watchtowers hundreds of meters high all collapsed from the middle; an elemental high tower blew up during the attack, blasting a deep pit with a diameter of 100 meters near the castle in the center of the city.

  As the central castle of the command post of the defenders, half of it was destroyed by the shock wave in that explosion.

  During the most difficult time of the war, facing the double assault of the ground war fortress of the Yate County United and the airship carrying mages, the defenders once thought that the city could not be defended.

  At that time, none of them could have imagined that this battle would end in such a reverse way.

  They not only defended Snow City, but also launched a counterattack. Countless soldiers of the Yate County League were captured, and countless supplies of the Yate County League were seized. If it weren't for the obstruction of the weather and heavy snow, they could have achieved more victories.

  The snow city defenders who returned from a great victory celebrated wildly.

  Queen Christina granted permission to lift the prohibition on alcohol, and each soldier could be given three glasses of ale and two boxes of canned meat produced by Raging City.

  In the main hall of the central castle, the blasted corner has been magically repaired, and it can already block the sea wind outside. It's just that the electrical system has not been fully restored, and the attendants light the oil braziers on the walls and the candle chandeliers on the ceiling.

  In the middle of the main hall is a large long table, which is filled with all kinds of food. Although the food is not exquisite, it is also a delicacy made by the chefs using the existing ingredients.

  Queen Christina sat at the head of the dining table. She was wearing a royal gift and a queen crown, with a confident and noble expression.

   Sitting on both sides of the dining table were the main generals of the Snow City defenders. Almost all of them were wounded, but the victory made them all hold their heads high, showing a serious military appearance to the queen.

  The court officials who followed the queen poured red wine for the generals present.

  Everyone toasted with the queen: "To the great empire! To the great emperor!"

  At this time, someone shouted: "To the great Empress of the Empire!"

  Others were taken aback for a moment, and then shouted in unison: "Respect the great Empress of the Empire!"

  Queen Christina shouted loudly: "Respect the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the empire, victory is with us!"

   "Victory be with us!"

  The continuous battles surrounding Snow City completely integrated Queen Christina with the defenders of Snow City. In all the dangerous situations during the war, she never hid in the underground bunker, but appeared in the most dangerous places with her flag.

  The following royal knights and palace guards formed an iron fist, and followed the Queen's footsteps to smash the front of the Art County Union.

  The queen of the empire is by her side, and the soldiers of the empire have completely forgotten the horror of death, making them incarnate like berserkers one by one. Snow City saved itself from danger again and again, thanks to Christina's contribution.

  With the loyalty of the monarch and his ministers and the friendship between life and death, Queen Christina has become the soul of this army.

   All the people drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

Queen Christina said: "Snow City used the power of one city to contain the attack of the nearly one million troops of the Yate County Alliance on the Empire's defense line. This battle disintegrated the Yate County Alliance's attempt to quickly attack the Empire, and launched a new battle for the Empire. Preparing for war took the most precious time.

  This time I return to Shenglun City, I will ask His Majesty for your credit, and the glory will accompany you, so that your families will be proud of you. "

  Fine wine was poured into the wine glass again, and all the generals raised their glasses together: "Thanks to the great Empress of the Empire!"

  But before everyone could drink the wine, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and the blizzard came in with the wind.

  Everyone looked in the direction of the gate together.

  A man in a windbreaker stands in the wind and snow, leaning on a cane, and takes off his hat amidst the doubts and anger of the crowd.

   "Meteor from the Sixth Division of the Secret Service, pay homage to Your Royal Highness the Queen!"

   2000 words for today, the next plot needs to be carefully planned.
