Evetrona's old stories

After everyone stood up in front of the round table, the old man chanted a spell, and a dazzling white light flashed in the dark room, making the unprepared contestants stunned, and some unconsciously uttered a scream, Among them, the voice of Gorgon is the most prominent.

"It's... terrible." Gorgon wanted to scold the other party, but he restrained himself.

Akanru laughed out loud.

"This person never reminds others when taking pictures. I suspected he did it on purpose last time." She said to Eve.

The old man's name was Shennah Sondeyman.Earlier, Sixbeline invited him from Xingthen City in order to improve the projection equipment so that he could apply his invention to the teaching of the college, but the response afterwards was not good——because the operation was not good It is convenient, and teachers are generally not willing to use it.But by mistake, Huo Lien would attend classes in the academy from time to time, and after seeing this thing, he had some thoughts in his mind.For this reason, Hollyn had a private conversation with Sixbelin, and he wanted Shen Na to work for the practice laboratory of the Knight Academy.In order to appease Sixbelin as the middleman, Huo Lien also used her privileges to let her hang up a idle position with the Knights—now that Sixbelin has fulfilled her wish in a crooked manner, it can be regarded as both fame and fortune.

"Miss, I want to take another photo for you alone, do you think it's okay?" Shen Na walked in front of Eve, his enthusiastic tone made it impossible to refuse, so Eve nodded.

"Great, thank you very much." Shen Na raised his hand and invited her to the side. "There is one more small request—I hope you can make such an action." He straightened his chest, pinched his waist with one hand, and leaned on a long stick with the other hand. He opened his legs and raised his chin slightly, as if he was looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Of course." Eve took the long staff in his hand, and made corresponding gestures under his guidance.She is wearing a light gray knight uniform today, and her hair is simply combed into a ponytail. If she is not too young, she really has the demeanor of a sassy female knight.

Shen Na walked around her several times.He took a lot of photos in a row, instead of "one photo" as he said just now, but Eve didn't mind it.

"Okay? I feel like I can't see anything." Eve was only a little dissatisfied with this point: "Is it necessary for you to make it so bright when taking pictures?"

"Of course, unless I can get a more sensitive photosensitive material, and I'm entrusting someone to study it now." Shen Na said, "Thank you very much for your cooperation. After the photos are released, I will definitely send you some photos."

"That's great." She was satisfied.

If Eve knew Shen Na's true intentions, she might not be as talkative as she is now - Shen Na is planning to use these pictures as a reference to restore her holographic image.In fact, Shen Na’s ideas are not complicated. As an artist of light and shadow, he cannot refuse visually beautiful things: the sunset on the sea, morning fog and morning dew, chicks learning to fly...beautiful things usually only appear for a moment, and they are worth collecting. A painter’s brush is subjective and an over-processing. Shen Na hopes to restore the traces of light in an objective way, and show the slices of history to the future as they are. This is the reason why he has been inventing and creating.

At this time, neither of them expected that one day after several years, these photos would come in handy here in another tragic way—although there were still some misunderstandings.

The chief referee, Lauslow, came, and everyone gathered towards him.He took the players back to the operating area of ​​the holographic sand table, and personally explained to them the usage and specifications of these new devices.

"Self-communication is strictly prohibited during the game, even with nearby teammates, and you all know that," Lauslow said. "But in the new rules, some communication is allowed. You are even allowed to communicate with your opponents. The way to communicate is through the secret passage under the seat."

Lausrow rolled up a piece of paper, stuffed it into a small ball with grooves, and put it into one of several secret passages, "During the game, each of you will get a small book of paper, There are pre-printed numbers representing your identities—from one to fifteen—in this row of secret passages, some lead to your opponents, some are used for communication between teammates, and some lead to your superiors or referees - used for inquiry. These secret channels, we call them 'messenger', except for the referee's secret channel which is instant, the other secret channels will be equipped with a timing device, which will calculate the current communication distance between you and the other party, simulating that on the battlefield The speed of information dissemination allows the message to be delayed.”

Having said that, Eve noticed that Gorgon glanced towards her, so she also nodded secretly towards him.

The addition of the messenger mechanism and the environment of the three-party melee can make temporary cooperation possible, but at the same time, the situation will become more complicated, and it can even be said that it is completely different from the past.

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it." Lausrow smiled. "During the competition, I will assign a clerk to each of your teams to record the content of each round, as well as the verbal and written communication between the players, so I implore you to cooperate with each other's work."

The crowd nodded.

"Because the content of this competition is relatively complicated, we expect that the game may last more than a whole day, so please try not to communicate the details of the game to outsiders during the break."

Lauslow talked so much that later the team had to start recording some important things.

On the day of the competition, Eve discovered that there were unexpectedly two more acquaintances on the field—her master, Baililin, and Gorada from the library.

Ast's team had only four players at most in the previous match, but now Eve found out that another of Ast's counselors turned out to be Golta.

Baililin was standing on Gorgon's side. Seeing Eve staring at her in surprise, she gave her a meaningful smile.

"Am I betraying my relatives?" Eve said with a wry smile.

Long Ke was reading the newly released background script at that time, and he blurted out: "Then, you have to let them know what will happen if you betray you."

[148] Crimson Sky (Part [-])

*After the simulated battle, the clerk checked the action records of the three parties, and made some processing and sorting, so that the process of this game can be reproduced. *

After destroying the Black Thorn Dragon, the old king once again unified Alderam, but no matter how vast the territory he ruled, he could not escape the day when he returned to dust.

The great emperor has three children under his knees.

The eldest son, who contradicted his father when he was young, was sent to the hinterland of mountains and rivers in the southwest; the second son, who is still in the capital, has become the sole heir of the country;She put her husband under house arrest, and firmly controlled the power of a foreign country in just one day.

Aldrum, the heaven is rich in soil, the water and grass are abundant, and the hero returns home.

The two months alternate, the autumn sun is high, and it is the harvest season.Eve, Batina and Longke rode on war horses and walked in an open mountain depression.

Longke: Your Highness, look at the mountains and rivers—the green peaks are like daisies, and the long rivers are vast... Today the situation is changing, the clouds and mists are pouring in, and it seems that the sky will clear up this day, but it is even raining lightly.

Eve: Needless to say, I am not blind, I can see.

Longke: Excuse me for being rude—I just sigh, now this huge country is actually in our hands.

Batina: The old king is fatuous and incompetent, and the prince is cowardly by nature. Now that he is like this, he has done a good thing.Let's stop talking nonsense, let's go and see what we have now.

Eve: She's right.

Longke: Are there any wild beasts in this barren mountain?

Batina: (laughing) She is not even afraid of her two older brothers, so why is she afraid of these wolves, tigers and leopards who can only hide and hide?

Longke: It is true.

The three of them rode horses and walked slowly along the river bank. After a while, a figure flashed behind them.

Longke: It's a messenger.

Batina: Whose messenger is it?

Eve: Wait and see.

Longke: I guess—it will be your elder brother, he must be unable to sit still now.Gorgon would send someone to talk sooner or later, but I didn't expect him to come so early.

Batina: Don't be impatient.

Eve rode on the horse and personally received the letter from the courier.She opened the letter, but there was only a short line of words on it: Little idiot.

Longke: Your Excellency Batina, look at your highness now, is she angry or happy?

Batina: Well... happy and angry at the same time.

Eve: This letter is useless, let's not talk about it.

Longke: Isn't it a letter from His Highness Gorgon?Whose is that?

Eve: It's Akanlu, one of Asder's subordinates.

Batina: What did she say, can we see it?

With a hesitant expression, Eve handed the letter to her.

Eve: When I was in the Empire, I had friendship with Akanlu, but I still don't understand that it took her nearly a month to send a letter from the Empire to the foreign land, just to say this nonsense.

Batina: Maybe she has left the imperial capital now, not far from us.

Long Ke: Although this letter is written in a simple and even somewhat offensive way, but... Could it have some deep meaning?Shall we message her back?

Eve: I know Akanlu. Although she sometimes acts out of line, she is a very principled person when it comes to important matters.Never mind the letter, she was just having fun.

Longke: Of course, you have the right to say, Your Highness.

Eve: In a few days—it will be winter—the sea water will flow back into the canal. At that time, if you want to send supplies to the far west, you will have to rely on horse-drawn carriages and railways.What's going on with Lafaqin?

Longke: The cargo ship has already set off. Thanks to the clear weather this month, this year's harvest can be shipped earlier.

Eve: That's good, the time is almost up, we should go back and see how Hertzik's investigation is going.

Alderam has a vast territory, but within five years of reunification, the old emperor passed away, and now, the empire has been divided into three parts.

A large amount of supplies are being sent to the town of Nova River to the west of the foreign land, which is their important military town far ahead.From here to the west and south, there is a railway line that runs deep from Eve's territory to the mountains where Gorgon is located—as long as one of them can negotiate first, then the grain and grass that Gorgon needs and the ore that Eve needs can all be placed here.

Two months later, the foreign land ushered in the first snow of this winter.Eve stood on the top of the main city wall, admiring the snow in the field with her minions.

Lafaqin: We can't wait any longer. If there is still no news from Gorgon, we have to send someone to remind them.

Eve: Be calm, winter is coming, and it's not us who should be in a hurry.

Lafaqin: But our army still needs to be prepared, and the city wall needs to be fortified. If Ashtar comes to attack at this time...

Batina: Don't worry, Asde never fights unprepared, and they will never seek further distance at this time.Even if they didn't notice the abnormality of the Western Railway, they would still be suspicious, thinking that there was some ambush inside.

At this time, Hertzke and Longko boarded the city wall.

Hertzke: I found the dragon knights of Asderfon in the western mountains and forests. There are not many of them. They are just above our border, flying very high, circling along the railway, but they didn't do anything.They may be looking for a land transportation route - the railway is very eye-catching in the sky, he is afraid that we did not use the railway, but are secretly cooperating with Gorgon.

Longke: Cooperation is inevitable. The empire has the strongest military strength and morale. If we want to defeat Astrid, we must cooperate with Gorgon. However, Astor must be curious about whether the cooperation is deep or shallow.

Hertzke: If the only way out is to cooperate with Gorgon, then the western railway line is the lifeblood we share with them. If Asder decides to destroy the railway and burn the forest, it will definitely have a great impact on us.

Batina: If he had the chance, he would have done it - he hasn't done it now because the time has not yet come.

Lafaqin: The resources of the mountains and forests are also very important. In winter, the weather is dry. Do we need to design a isolation zone?

Eve: I don't think it is necessary. If Asder thinks it is still difficult to deal with Gorgon, then he may deal with us first, and it will be very risky to rush out.

Hertzke: The missile forces of our two sides have not yet been dispatched. If Asder wants to attack here, he also needs to evade the attack.Dragon Knight is very useful, but if it is damaged here, it means that the game is over.

A figure appeared at the lower end of the city wall, on the messenger.

Longke: It seems—Gorgon finally realized that this winter is not so easy.

Batina: Don't be too happy.

Eve opened the letter, and there were only a few short words written on it: Little fool.

Eve: Don't look at it, it's just a scrap of paper.

Batina: (to Longke) I'll just say it!

The crowd was silent.

Long Ke: Gorgon... Could it be that he wants to form an alliance with Asder?

Batina: If that's the case, then his brain must not be very bright.

Another month passed, and Gorgon finally got news—he wanted to talk to Eve about cooperation.To show sincerity, the place was set at Nova River Town in Evefang, and only two people came.

Gorgon: Long time no see, sister.

Eve: Who is your sister!

Gorgon: (smiling) You are still the same as before, you take things too seriously, and you don’t want to suffer at all.

Eve: Let's get down to business.

Gorgon: Well, let's get down to business - I don't think we can drag it any longer, it will only make Asder cheaper.The current situation is that fate has tied us to the same boat. Even if we are reluctant, we must help each other. Even if we have to fight to the death in the future, it must be after defeating Ast. Do you agree with this statement? ?

Eve: I agree.

Gorgon: The exchange of materials is the basis of cooperation, but from the current point of view, there is one more thing that worries me: Astor wants to attack my fortress, which is located in the west of Haiqibao.

Eve: (surprised) Are you sure?

Gorgon: Absolutely true.A team of magic swordsmen and curse knights, some regular troops, and four steam airships came.

Eve: Can you resist his attack?

Gorgon: Yes, but we need to borrow troops from the Eastern Front, and the defenders of Senatan City must be transferred to supplement the Western Defense Line.Asde's troops are strong and able to support multi-line operations. If they target Senatan City again, I'm afraid...

Charlins (Gorgon's counselor): If the city of Ruosen Atan is controlled by Asd, the water transport of the Nanova River and the railway line in the southwestern part can no longer be used.In this case, cooperation is out of the question, and we all have to stay on one side.

Eve: What do you mean?

Gorgon: Senatan is as important as the town of Nova River, and Haiqibao is adjacent to Asder, which is located in the northwest. We thought—on your side, at least the eastern part with the farthest space distance will not be given priority hit list.So we want to borrow troops from you.

Eve: I'm going to think about it.

Gorgon: Alderam is the Northland, and the Northland has little food.The food in the imperial capital comes from the southeast, and now you occupy it.As long as we form a united front—you control the food and grass, I monopolize the mine veins, we exchange what we have, but Asder can't capture any fortress, as long as there is enough time, we can trap him in place.

Longke: If Asde loses like this, and you and I are both unharmed, it obviously does us no good.

Charlins (Counselor): You have to choose one of us, or Asder.I know you would like to see us and Astorfon fight each other, but that's obviously not realistic.

Eve: Dragon Knight is suitable for support, but it still lacks the ability to resist missile troops, so it needs to cooperate with ground troops, and the two can form cross-covering.It only takes half a day for the Dragon Knights to arrive from Nova River Town to Senatan. If you can ensure the safety of the airspace, I can put them on standby at the Nova River.

Charlins and Gorgon whispered a few words.

Gorgon: (Thinking again and again) Acceptable.

So far, the most basic purpose of cooperation has been achieved. As for the others - Eve did not send the Dragon Knights to Nova River Town, and Gorgon did not send troops to the western defense line as he said.

On a cold winter night, Eve, Batina and Longko sat in front of the fireplace in the main hall of the castle.

Longke: Asde still hasn't made a move.

Batina: He's waiting.We are now exchanging resources with Gorgon, and when one party grows stronger, he can do it... Choosing one is equal to taking the other.
