Edge of the Apocalypse

"Tap, tap, it hurts!"

The dinner was over. In the assigned stone house, Regis took off his coat, with some bruises on his body. Belmode is giving him medicine to reduce the swelling, but Regis is surprisingly afraid of pain, making the man who is already very light-hearted feel a little helpless.

"The same are the young masters of Beth Kod. Master Regis is particularly afraid of pain." Belmode shook his head.

Regis hummed: "You mean, Alan is better than me?"

"At least I didn't hear Master Ellen cry like you when he was taking medicine."

"Cut, I bet, that guy just endures for the sake of his image. How can it not hurt, and it's not a monster."

"I, it does hurt." Allen walked in from the door and smiled: "It's just that you can survive, and that pain is nothing. There is nothing more fortunate than to survive after a battle. "

Regis was taken aback when he heard it, and said, "Don't tell me you are also afraid when you fight?"

"Yes, because I'm still a person. Of course I'm afraid of being killed, so I have to fight harder." Allen shrugged, reaching out and patted Regis on the back at random: "Is the injury okay?"

Regis yelled and jumped up like an electric shock: "Damn Allen, you did it on purpose!"

He gritted his teeth and put on his clothes and said, "I can't die, but that guy's punches are heavy enough. If there is a mana boxer, it is probably comparable to Willick's heavy punches. But if I fight seriously, I will not The confidence to lose."

"That's best, but you have already shown the trump card, and people may not have revealed all the hole cards. So if you match up in the future, don't be careless."

Belmode frowned and said, "Boss, do you mean that the peace agreement signed with them tomorrow may not count?"

"Yes, but there should be no problem in the short term. After all, they have also seen our strength tonight. Whether it is the King of the Mountain or Regis, they will be a little jealous. Unless their comprehensive strength surpasses us by a lot, Otherwise, it won’t be easy to start the war.” Allen looked at the low night outside the window and said: “I knew from the beginning that this was just a false peace. The key to deciding on peace lies in the fact that the strength of our two sides is almost the same. Only when there is no benefit, a peaceful situation is formed. But no matter which party is strong enough to break this balance, do you think this kind of peace will continue?"

"Of course not, and there is no need. Whether it is me, Sharon, or even Higgs. I don't want to see myself have a threatening neighbor."

"You guys have a good rest. There should be no other new tricks on the Black Iron Fort. We can go back when the agreement is signed tomorrow."

When he left, he gave Regis another palm, making his brother yelling. Allen returned to his house, but unexpectedly saw Higgs outside the door.

What is this man doing?

Allen smiled faintly: "Captain Higgs hasn't rested yet?"

"Can't sleep, so I got up and strolled around, and walked to Master Allen without thinking.

"So, come in and sit down?"

Allen generously invited, Higgs did not refuse, and the two walked into the house. The two maids were already too sleepy and still insisted on serving. After they brought clean water, Allen let them go down to rest, so he and Higgs were the only two left in the house.

Higgs suddenly bowed to Allen and said: "I'm extremely sorry, Sir Sharon's arrangements for the evening are completely beyond my expectation. If not, I can remind Master Allen first."

"It's okay, I think Sir Sharon was also on a temporary basis."

"Thank you for your understanding. Fortunately, it hasn't affected your decision, otherwise..." At this point, Higgs gave a wry smile.

Under the firelight, Higgs' face was hidden in the shadows, which made him look a little depressed. Allen can learn from his words that, obviously, Sharon didn't even notice the knight commander of his tentative action tonight, which shows how deep the contradiction between them is. But this is a good thing for Storm City, and then Alan talked with him for a while.

Higgs was very careful in his words, but from the lines, it was not difficult to hear his dissatisfaction with Sharon. It's just that he hides this dissatisfaction very carefully, and occasionally shows it through a word or two, or inadvertently small gestures.

The two chatted for a long time, and the content involved many aspects. Regardless of testing each other during the period, Allen certainly wanted to attack the status quo of the power circle of the Black Iron Fort by Higgs, and Higgs did not want to understand Allen's true identity. So after some conversation, both of them got more or less information. It's just that the authenticity of these information needs to be sorted out and verified afterwards.

Unconsciously, the moon is in the sky. Higgs got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, Allen said suddenly: "If Captain Higgs needs my help in the future, he might as well come to me directly. As long as I can help, I will do my best. "

When Higgs sign, and savoring the meaning of Allen's words, he seemed to read a lot of information. Higgs nodded, but did not make a statement and left. Allen watched him leave before walking back to the house. Higgs did not refuse on the spot, leaving him a way out. Even if he and Sharon tear his face in the future, there is still Alan who can take refuge in. As for Alan, he sprinkled another salt on the discordant wound of the Black Iron Fort.

Both of them can be said to have gained.

The next day, Allen and Sharon signed an agreement. The content of the agreement includes the treaty of peaceful coexistence between the two parties, and at the same time redefines the territories and borders of both parties. The new border will be bounded by the blood rock wasteland, and this wasteland will become a buffer zone for both sides. Storm City and Black Iron Fort will send troops to set up military stations on the wasteland to ensure the safety of the wasteland and monitor each other.

After exchanging agreements, the meeting finally ended in an ideal way.

After that, the two sides went back to the city, and they were speechless.

After returning to Storm City, Allen summoned officials of all sizes and notified the contents of the agreement signed with Black Iron Fort.

"...The above is the harvest of our trip. Commander Reg, I leave it to you about setting up a military station in the Blood Rock Wasteland. Finally, I want to say to you that although the Black Iron Fort is not our enemy for the time being, but Don’t take it lightly. Because our neighbor is not easy. Once we relax, we may face a devastating blow."

After the meeting, Allen caught Lucy. The girl happily dragged him to the study of the City Lord's Mansion, and mysteriously refused to reveal a word along the way. Until the study, she took out the box of fraud and said: "Look, I have deciphered the cipher text inside!"

"So fast?"

"Of course, don't look at who this lady is!" Lucy waved the box triumphantly.

"Well, Miss genius girl, what interesting thing has been deciphered from the ciphertext?"

Lucy blinked and said, "It is indeed an interesting thing, and that place may be the key to our return to Earth."

When Allen heard this, he suddenly became interested, and reached out and patted her pink/buttock and said: "Don't sell it, just tell me the truth."

Lucy pulled out a large stack of papers from under the desk. Most of them were scribbled or some conversion formula. Whether it was the handwriting or the formula, it was all words that Allen couldn't understand. It was obviously Idahuaxing's writing. Lucy found one of them. The writing on this piece of paper was relatively regular. It used the writing on the earth, which was convenient for Allen to read.

"...That place is over. At least, in the only memory I have kept, I don't seem to see any signs of survivors. My transformation is almost complete, **** it! I didn't expect the Queen's cells to have such a powerful infection. Power, so was the idea like that really arrogant at first?"

"Everything is coming to an end, I feel that I can no longer maintain normal logical thinking. It's ironic, in the end, I actually want to be a beast!"

"I don't know if any compatriots found this box in the end. Compatriots who wish to interpret the ciphertext must notify the royal family and destroy the queen in the depths of the base as soon as possible. The following is the path to the base..." Allen finished reading and said. :"this is?"

"It’s the supervisor of a certain experimental base, but that’s not the point. The point is the so-called queen and the base. The queen will leave aside, but if there is a base, there will be a communication system. Even if it’s our Idahuaxing communication system. As long as the system is modified, I think it should be able to communicate with the earth. Otherwise, I can contact Ida Huaxing~www.readwn.com~ and let them relay the message to the Earth Federation, so that our return is expected! "

Lucy took out another hand-drawn map: "There is also a map found in the fraud box, please take a look. I have translated the labels on the map. Look like that, the base is near the border. , This is very beneficial to us."

Allen took the map and spread it out on the table. Sure enough, he quickly recognized the Aspen Mountains, but there was no obvious city mark on the map. It seems that the planet was still barren at that time, maybe even the Bairegon Empire had not been established yet, and I didn't know what kind of experiments the Idahua star people were conducting on this planet. There is a dotted line drawn on the map. The dotted line starts from the Aspen Mountains, passes through the current blood rock wasteland, and points straight to the wild highlands behind Violet Harbor.

The end of the dotted line is located at a corner northeast of the Wild Highlands, where the base is located. Lucy picked up the map and raised her voice: "How about it, Great Lord of the City, do you plan to go on an expedition with me?"

"Of course, but we can't do it. Don't forget, there seems to be a queen in the base that can transform people into the kind of demon in the Bymon legend. We need more personnel to make it more appropriate." Seriously. r1058
