Civilization Guardian Front

Even so, I still remember to bring this...

Looking at the anti-fall box leaning beside him, Kiritani Kazuto couldn't help but smile wryly, and he had a deeper understanding of the extent of his obsession with full stealth.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm down, he patted the dust on his clothes and pants and stood up.

Although he still had lingering fears about the accident that happened on the streets of Shinjuku, he gradually felt relieved when he thought that the chance of meeting the same person in a city as large and densely populated as Tokyo was slim.

Grabbing the handle of the suitcase, he changed into indoor slippers and was about to return to his room, only then did he notice that there were two pairs of schoolgirl leather shoes of the same style on the floor of the entrance.

During the winter vacation, the younger sister who still went to participate in the kendo club activities early in the morning has returned home, and also brought friends.

It would be embarrassing to say hello and nod if we see each other...

With that in mind, Kazuto walked upstairs quietly.

crunch...

The wooden floor on which he stood was rattling incongruously.

The door of the first room on the left side of the second staircase opened quickly, and Kiritani Suguha stuck his head out after hearing the movement.

"I heard a voice downstairs just now, I thought I heard it wrong, it really is my brother..."

!

He clearly heard the familiar voice of his younger sister, but Kazuto's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Although her speaking habits and intonation are different, her younger sister... Suguha's voice is very similar to the red-haired girl she met on Shinjuku Street.

"Brother? Why don't you look so good..."

Suguha, who didn't know what was going on, approached and cared.

"?!" The appearance of the younger sister in front of her overlapped with Xia Li's face for an instant, and she took two steps back in fright.

"..."

After a moment of astonishment, Suguha's expression sank as if covered with frost.

Subconscious dodges often hurt more than sharp words...

Seeing this, Heren who reacted quickly apologized:

"Sorry, Zhi, I didn't mean to you..."

"enough..."

Interrupting her brother's defense indifferently, Suguha turned around and left quickly.

"Suguha-san, your brother..."

"Don't pay attention to him! Anyway, as long as he has games!"

Suguha grabbed the wrist of the purple-haired girl who was watching silently behind the door, as if hesitating whether she should come forward to say hello, and dragged her into the room without waiting for her friend to say anything more.

boom!

Knock clang!

The sound of the room door being slammed shut and locked shut Kiritani Kazuto out.

...

"The siblings never spoke a word after that..."

After telling the story, Ryan lifted the bone china cup to his lips, and put the little black tea left into his mouth without making a sound.

She gently put down the teacup.

Xue Lun, who was standing by the side, came forward with a teapot and filled the empty cup with hot tea that was [-]% full.

"Thank you, Sharon."

"No, that's what I should do."

Ryan politely thanked this companion who had no obligation to serve others, but was always careful to do all the duties of a maid, and received a gentle smile from the other party as a matter of course, then looked to the other side of the window, and stepped on the seat with her left foot The chair used her knees as a cushion for her chin, and Xia Li was eating the afternoon tea snacks as conveyor belt sushi.

"Didn't you think that your voice is very similar to Kiritani Suguha, and you planned to beat up my brother on the way home at a good time to scare him?

"How... huh, huh... how is it possible~"

While talking, Xia Li took the small sandwiches, puffs, muse... one by one from the three-tier snack stand and threw them into her mouth.

"Whether their brother-sister relationship is good or bad has nothing to do with me, and I don't have the habit of relying on the strategy to complete the task, how could I make such a scheming operation on purpose."

Hearing this, Tifa, who was making snacks behind the counter, couldn't help but turn around and snicker.

As he approached the table with a tray full of snack racks, Chios, who changed into a tuxedo to act as a deacon at the request of his companion, froze his smile slightly.

"I feel offended, Charlie "Master"..."

"Ahaha~ Is the insinuation too obvious? Sorry, sorry~"

"But it's true..." Ryan pointed his index finger at his lips, and continued the topic:

"When I heard what happened to you in Nishi-Shinjuku, I thought you were colluding with big brother Chios to perform the show, but now I know it's just a coincidence, which makes me even more surprised."

"No, if you think about it normally, how can I afford to hire the "Red War Ghost"..."

Chios shrugged.

It seems that the image of "male publicist and conspirator" among his colleagues in the association can no longer be reversed.

"Not necessarily, as long as the process can make me feel interesting, or you can simply conquer me~ hahaha, in that way, it's okay to do all kinds of dirty work for you, after all, hunters are supposed to do this kind of thing Well~"

Xia Li said indifferently, and cast a provocative look at Chios.

"Would you like to try to take me down? Although a wrong choice in the process may end in blood, but as the saying goes, high risk and high reward?"

knock knock...

Weita, who appeared silently at the entrance of the side hall of Tiandao Palace, knocked lightly on the door.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your chat, but the preliminary analysis of the battlefield world has just been completed, and the task briefing will be carried out next, and everyone must gather in the situation room."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Let me tell you some unexpected news..."

In the battle room, the seat rotated to face the terminal screen, and Maria Bell faced the executors gathered here.

Judging from her calm expression, Chios speculated that the so-called "unexpected" events should not greatly increase the difficulty of the task.

It's true...

"The world attached to the dominion is not the first object to be devoured by "Dark Soul". Before that, two worlds have been devoured successively. By analyzing the fragments and residues left behind by them, it has been confirmed that the two are the source allusions respectively. The world of Goblin Slayer and Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash."

"Ah, oh, is it possible that the hardcore worlds still attract each other?"

"Magic Bow" Ennaiya put one hand on her cheek, and said half-sentimentally and half-jokingly.

"Hmm..." Alleria, who folded her arms on her chest, nodded slightly after pondering for a while, and gave a serious answer:

"World coordinates with similar fantasy sources are closer together. They also have a fantasy background close to the Middle Ages, swords and magic, coupled with a heavy, depressing, and dark fate line, which may be the unfortunate stare of those two worlds." on, the cause of the nearest devour."

"Is hometown food more palatable after all..."

"No..." Hearing Aurelia's explanation and Sarah's succinct supplementary description, Du Barry was puzzled.

"Then why doesn't it go to Demon's Souls, Bloodborne?"

"Ahaha~ Speaking of which, these three families are indeed relatives of the same clan. Not only are their worldviews similar, but they also have the same moonlight sword that can be collected..."

As if thinking that the extremely high correlation between several worlds is very interesting, Xia Li wrung her fingers and listed one common point after another.

It wasn't until Du Bali was about to lose her patience that she shook her hand as if to dismiss him.

"Because there is not much difference in the strength of the world's power, head-to-head encounters are likely to end together, so I avoided it... Isn't this a truth that you can understand with common sense, chief of the iron machine team~ use your brain more, don't always think about it, okay? ?"

"What..." Du Barry was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and pointed at the other party angrily.

"You are not disciplined, and you are a willful combat madman who goes against the plan at every turn, so you are not qualified to speak of me!"

Seeing the two tit for tat affecting the task briefing, Liana said lightly:

"The meeting is still going on. If you want to quarrel, you can find another place to continue after you finish explaining the business here."

"Ugh..."

A word from the Holy Maiden of the Spear immediately made Du Barry curb her previous high aura, and obediently lowered her head like a loyal dog who made a mistake and was reprimanded.

"Sorry, master."

Xia Li on the other side of the hall also shut her mouth sensibly.

Snapped!

Weita tapped the folding fan with her right hand on her left palm, bringing the focus of the topic back:

"Okay, anyone has any questions about World Devourer?"

"To be more specific..." Chios, who had switched to work mode, was only interested in information of interest.

Looking at the third pillar of the apostle sitting in front of the terminal, he asked directly to the point:

"To what extent have the laws of the two worlds been eroded and assimilated? Is there any life left to help us in our mission?"

"Just like the subsidiary world, almost all conceptually material things are covered by the upper law and transformed into a part of the black soul world, only the souls of some characters have not been fully absorbed..."

Maria Bell crossed her slender legs and changed her sitting position with her feet crossed. Then she explained the analysis results:

"The Goblin Slayer, which was devoured the first time, was the most damaged. The characters have been eroded to such an extent that even their names and pasts no longer exist. The last two victims are slightly better, but their status is not complete."

"After the legion took over the theater, the influx of world power seemed to be automatically repairing the BUG, ​​creating a new area on the border of the original black soul land territory to accommodate these wandering souls, and giving them a place to stand A new thread of history fills the void that was lost."

The words stopped here, giving the executors a few seconds to digest the information.

After thinking about it, in order to avoid a few colleagues not fully understanding, she still gave a summary:

"To put it bluntly, the development trajectory of these people has been different from the established destiny. The information you can use as a reference is only "personal design". . "

"I see..."

Dubali murmured.

Looking up, everyone around her was looking at her.

Her face flushed all of a sudden.

The reaction I suddenly realized was completely exposing the situation that I didn't understand before to others...

puff!

Hehe, hahahaha...

As Xia Li laughed out loud without any scruples, the other companions couldn't help laughing after being infected by her.

For a moment, the situation room was filled with cheerful air.

"Humph! "

Du Barry raised her hot face.

Although teased and ridiculed by her companions, her serious character does not allow herself to escape from this place.

This is also the reason why other executors appreciate her and can't help but make fun of her.

Of course, jokes should be stopped in moderation.

cough cough...

After 2 minutes, Maria Bell cleared her throat and continued the task briefing:

"Dark Soul" integrates the multiple worlds devoured, as the main stage that affects the rise and fall of flames, and is also the land map where you will go to the battlefield. After analysis and calculation, the longest axis is about 3400 kilometers, the wide axis is about 1900 kilometers, and the total area It's almost 450 million square kilometers..."

She pressed a key on the terminal with her fingertips.

The screen above lit up, displaying the map of the battlefield in front of the eyes of the executors.

It is a continent with a long and narrow north-south vertical axis and a slightly narrower east-west horizontal axis, divided by a large number of ridges, forests, hydrology and coastlines into a continent with diverse and complex landforms.

The subcontinent across the mountains is located in the vast north. Looking down, you can see the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by the southern land through snow, plains, deserts, wetlands, grasslands, and islands.

"This is the map I constructed based on the information I obtained from the analysis. From a structural point of view, the land of ancient kings "Rodland" and "Lothric", the hometown of the Fire Kings today, are located in the north, and the place where the second generation story takes place "Dolan Gureg" is in the subcontinent in the northwest, and south of the desert should be various human kingdoms..."

"As for the landing place of you and the "players", it is further south, the Mediterranean area created by the remaining existence of the devoured world, one of the capitals of the four human countries there..."
