Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Sighing, Li Ang casually constructed the magic unit converted from the fire attribute, and the Explosive Flame Wave Sword turned into a fiery sea of ​​flames, burning the out-of-control mycelium in front of him to ashes.

Amidst the flames soaring into the sky, a metal badge glowing gray-green lay quietly in the palm of Li Ang's left hand.

This thing... what is it?

The Witch-King's Diadem: Chapter 37 Captured

This badge is engraved with a rare pattern, which looks like several rings nested together, but due to the special limitations of perceiving the world, Li Ang can't see more details from it.

What is this?International Atomic Energy Agency?There is no such organization in the world of Terra.

The quality of the badge is very average, it looks like a souvenir you got when you traveled somewhere, Li Ang looked at it several times, but didn't find anything special about it.

So, why did that young man stuff this badge into his hand?

The words he said before he died seemed to have other meanings. On the surface, it seemed that he was accusing the twin queens of being traitors, saying that there was something hidden about the death of the Witch King, but in Li Ang's view, it didn't seem to be the case .

In any case, the person sitting on the throne now is the twin queens, and the last few words of the young man seem to be covering up something.

Don't believe them... They don't seem to refer only to the Twin Queens.

Shaking his head, Li Ang put the badge into his pocket. In fact, he originally wanted to throw away this suspicious thing, but after thinking about it, this badge might come in handy for other purposes in the future, so he finally put the badge away.

After clearing the scene of traces that might reveal his identity, Li Ang quickly fled the scene. If he is bumped into by the investigators from Brandenburg later, he will not be able to explain it clearly.

After rushing back outside the city of Brandenburg, Li Ang did not return to the city through the main gate.

Li Ang left Brandenburg in an abnormal way last night. He took advantage of the dead of night and when most people were attracted by the chaos in the western city, he simply jumped off the edge of the mobile city.

There is no record of Li Ang's departure from the customs, and it will be a lot of trouble to go back from there.

So Li Ang simply went back the same way and climbed up from the place where he jumped off before. Just be a little careful not to be caught by the patrolling gendarmerie.

In fact, many stowaways come in this way.

With the size of a mobile city, it doesn't mean that 360-degree monitoring with no dead ends is completely impossible, but the cost of doing so is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Mobile cities usually only set up outposts at some key locations. As for people who sneak in from other places...if they are not caught in the street, just turn a blind eye and close one eye as if they don't exist. It is impossible to completely ban it.

Avoiding the outposts on the edge, it was already noon when Li Ang sneaked into the city.

On the way back to Nauman's house, passers-by looked at Li Ang very strangely. After all, he looked even more embarrassed than the homeless on the street. When he entered William University, he was almost stopped by the guards. down.

Fortunately, Li Ang was quite recognizable. After recognizing his identity, the guard let him in.

After returning to the villa, Adele was not at home. Taking advantage of this time, Li Ang quickly disposed of the miserable set of clothes on his body, and then patiently waited for Adele to come back.

He had already prepared a gift in advance to celebrate Adele's successful graduation. When Adele came back, it was the best time to give this gift.

Time passed bit by bit, and when it was almost the end of school in the afternoon, Li Ang finally couldn't sit still.

The specific time for the defense is this morning. Even if something unexpected happened in the middle, it should not be delayed until now.

Could it be that after the defense, Adele and her friends went to celebrate?Soon Li Ang denied this speculation. Although he shouldn't be the one to say such things, but... Adele really has very few friends.

Li Ang had been in Brandenburg for a long time, but he had never seen anyone come to Adele on his own initiative. No matter what time it was, Adele always sat quietly in a corner.

Although this kind of thing has not been put on the table, there is always a gap between the infected and the non-infected. In addition, Adele herself is far superior to her peers, and the people who are willing to contact her are even more so. There are not many left.

Intuition told Li Ang that something unexpected happened to Adele.

"By the way, you can go to the professor and ask about the situation."

If Li Ang remembered correctly, the person in charge of Adele's defense today happened to be a professor he was very familiar with. That professor must know where Adele went.

Professor Walker of the Originium Technology Academy is also the substitute teacher for the course "Originstone Technology Theory". Li Ang often asks him some questions, and the two of them are quite familiar with each other.

When Li Ang developed his Originium skills, Professor Walker helped a lot.

The professor's office is not far from the family area. Li Ang runs to that place every day. The road is already very familiar, and he can find it all the way even without perception.

Li Ang was lucky, when he arrived, Professor Walker happened to be in the office.

It's just...Professor Walker's head seems to have been seriously injured, and there is a very strong smell of blood in the office. There are many blood-soaked bandages stuffed into the trash can beside his desk.

What happened?The professor was attacked in the academy?

Li Ang stepped forward and said, "Professor Walker, it's me. Is there any problem with your head injury? Don't you need to go to the hospital?"

"...Hiss, it's okay, the bleeding has stopped, there's no need to go to the hospital again."

Turning his head to look at Li Ang, Professor Walker pressed hard on the wound on his head while gritting his teeth and said, "But Leon, you came just in time, I need to find you."

Why are you looking for him?Compared with the professor's matter, Li Ang now wants to know Adele's whereabouts more.

"Professor, please wait a moment, I have something to ask you, do you know where Adele has gone?"

"...I was going to tell you about this."

At this moment, the expression on the professor's face became very strange, and his emotions became extremely entangled, as if he was debating whether to tell Li Ang about this matter.

After a while, Professor Walker took a deep breath and said, "Listen to me slowly, don't be impulsive."

What's the meaning?What has happened to Adele that would make him impulsive?

Professor Walker said with a wry smile, "I don't know exactly what happened, but two warlocks from the tower arrested Adele..."

"In the name of excessive ore disease infection."

"What did you say?"

The Witch King's Crown: Chapter 38 Reply

Time goes back to this morning.

The riots in the west district last night had more or less affected here, and Adele was going to face an extremely important graduation defense today, so after waking up in the morning, Adele's mental state was not particularly good.

After sitting on the bed for more than ten minutes in a daze, Adele finally cheered up.

Clasping her hands tightly in front of her chest, Adele cheered softly for herself, "Dad...Mom...I will definitely succeed."

Thinking of her parents who will be back soon, Adele is full of confidence.

Not long after leaving the bedroom, Adele found the note that Li Ang had left for her on the dining table.

"Are you leaving so early?"

Adele thought that she woke up early enough, but she didn't expect that Li Ang got up earlier than her. She had just woken up and Li Ang had gone to nowhere.

Regarding the 'I went out beforehand' left on Li Ang's note, Adele didn't have any doubts.

"Huh...then I'll do my best too."

After a hasty breakfast, Adele began to check everything needed for the next defense, including the reference papers prepared for several judges, and the important sample that supported her theory.

After sorting everything out, Adele rushed to the classroom specially prepared for her defense.

Standing at the door of the classroom, Adele took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Please come in."

Adele came very early, the judges of the defense committee hadn't arrived yet, and there was only one person in the classroom.

Professor Walker, he is another professor of the Originium Institute of Technology, and in the absence of Adele's father, he is responsible for the defense tasks of the students in the academy.

Seeing Adele pushing the door, the elderly professor waved at her with a smile, "Adele, you came here so early."

"Come on, sit down and rest for a while."

After Adele sat next to him, Professor Walker said, "Adele, I want to tell you something first. The time for the defense...may be pushed back a little bit."

"In addition to a few guys from our committee, there are two more people who will come to watch your defense. They are not from the school, so they will arrive later."

"Is there anyone else coming?" Adele was a little surprised.

Generally, apart from the professors of the college, only some students of related majors will come to watch the graduation defense of the doctoral students. I have never heard of people outside the school participating before, and the time for the defense was specially postponed for them.

This couldn't help but make Adele curious about the identities of those two people.

Before Adele asked, Professor Walker explained, "Those two gentlemen are from the High Tower. They are more interested in your thesis, so they came here specially to participate in your graduation defense."

It actually came from the tower... With the status of those people, it's no wonder the professor takes it so seriously.

This unexpected event also made Adele a little nervous. She was not ready to face the two tower warlocks. Who knows what surprises those who stay in the tower all day will ask Weird question.

"This is what your father meant. You should take advantage of this opportunity," Professor Walker encouraged, "Compared to staying at William University, the place in Gaota is more promising."

He said with some regret, "Back then, I was just a little bit short and failed the test of the tower. Looking back now, it's really a pity..."

What Professor Walker said was more promising. Naturally, it wasn't for Adele to join the Warlock Guard.

Although the warlock guards are the most elite force on the surface in Letania, those people are just the 'guards' of the tower. What Professor Walker just meant is that Adele has the opportunity to enter the core of the tower. Become a true 'Tower Warlock'.

This kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.

"I see, I will work hard." Adele nodded seriously.

"Speaking of Adele, didn't your boyfriend come today?" Professor Walker looked out the window, but didn't see the expected figure, "He didn't come to accompany you on such an important day? "

Boy friend?

After a daze, Adele quickly realized who the person Professor Walker was referring to.

Adele blushed slightly, and immediately retorted, "He's not my boyfriend! He's...he's...he's just my friend..."

As she spoke, Adele's voice gradually became quieter. She also realized now that the current relationship between the two of them seems to have exceeded the limit of ordinary friends... Who would let ordinary friends live in their home ah?

It is natural for professors to misunderstand.

Seeing that Adele fell silent, Professor Walker knew that his joke was a bit too much, so he quickly comforted him, "Okay, I know, I know, I just saw that you were a little nervous just now, so I made a joke with you." It's just a joke."

"In short, don't worry too much, just try your best. Even if you fail the test of the tower, it's good to stay at William University."

"Before those guys come, come up with any questions you have now, and... let me see your paper, and I will think about what questions I want to ask you next."

Professor Walker didn't care about this kind of behavior equivalent to 'cheating'. Anyway, in his opinion, she could have graduated long ago with Adele's level. Stubbornness, must come up with some results.

With the addition of two tower warlocks, the nature of this defense has changed, from testing Adele's knowledge to showing Adele's talent to the two tower warlocks, and Research results.

It was also to help a bunch of co-workers' daughters, no big deal.

The judges who arrived one after another also made the same choice as Professor Walker. If it weren't for the deep hatred with Adele, who would deliberately disagree with her on such a matter?

Time passed little by little, and about half an hour after the original start time, the two tower warlocks finally arrived in the classroom.

Those were two very mysteriously dressed warlocks, just like in various legendary stories, their bodies were wrapped in a thick black robe, and their faces were covered with some kind of Originium skill that interfered with their vision.

Tower Warlocks are also considered important figures in Letania. Except for a few people, most Tower Warlocks will not easily show their true colors to others, and few people know their true identities.

As soon as he walked into the classroom, the leading warlock said, "Professors, you can pretend that the two of us don't exist, and everything will go according to the original plan."

"We will not interfere with your decisions. After everything is over, we will naturally make a judgment."

Hearing this, several judges and professors looked at each other, and then Professor Walker looked at Adele standing on the podium, nodded and said, "Miss Adele Nauman, you can start now, you Give us half an hour to present your research success to us."

Adele took a deep breath and said, "Teachers, I'm Adele Nauman, and the paper I'm going to report next is "The Relationship Between Origin Stones and Natural Disasters."

The Witch King's Crown: Chapter 39 Originium and Scourge

The relationship between origin stones and natural disasters is an enduring topic. Every year, a large number of papers are produced around the world. Therefore, it is not so difficult to write an excellent paper on this topic. .

Adele would choose this topic, of course she has her reasons.

Compared with others, Adele has an advantage that no one else has. Her parents are the top experts in the world who study volcanoes.

Therefore, Adele’s thesis also chooses to start from this angle, starting from the relationship between volcanoes and origin stones, and gradually expanding to the relationship between human beings, origin stones, and natural disasters.

In this world, volcanoes play a very special role, because volcanic eruptions are also a type of natural disaster.

Unlike those natural disasters that may occur no matter where they are, the location of the volcano is completely fixed, so even if the volcanic eruption is extremely harmful, this natural disaster is very easy to avoid, as long as the mobile city is not parked near the volcano That's it.

Because of this feature of the volcano, it actually made many people think about it.

Natural disasters are inextricably linked with source stones. Natural disasters bring source stones, and source stones induce natural disasters. This is the common understanding of people. Volcanoes can cause natural disasters, which means that you can definitely find formed source stone veins from volcanoes. .

And because of the frequency of natural disasters, even if the source stone veins in the volcano are mined out, they will be regenerated in a relatively short period of time. The semi-formed source stone ore found by Adele is a very powerful evidence.

From this perspective, Adele re-clarified the relationship between human beings and Origin Stone, and vaguely expressed her concerns about natural disasters.

"Humans are continuously transporting Origin Stones back to the city to feed the entire social system. Only when human beings become stronger can they cope with natural disasters that may become stronger in the future."
