hero?it must be me

After all, when climbing, you need to lead the way with your cursed wrist. If you go down the mountain, you only need to stay on Zheng Qi's body and wait for Zheng Qi to run down the mountain as if walking on flat ground.

So, on the way back to East Village, Lixiang seized the opportunity to ask a question she had asked before.

What exactly is the Atlas Court that the old man said is where all the truth is hidden?

"Well, let me explain."

For magic matters, it is natural to rely on the knowledgeable Da Vinci.

"The Atlas Academy mentioned by the old man in the first generation of the mountain should be the academy of alchemists entrenched in another Atlas mountain in Egypt. Its alias is the giant's cellar."

"Magic Association, Lixiang still remember this?"

Lixiang nodded.

"Zheng Qi's words..."

"I just know, for example, the names of organizations like the Church of the Holy Church, but I don't know the specifics very well."

Hearing Zheng Qi's answer, Da Vinci was a little surprised.

"Is this the effect of the information interception mentioned in the previous magic book?"

"That's it."

"Hey... well, let's get down to business. To put it simply, the Atlas Institute is one of the three major departments in the Magic Association. The Institute of Savings and Measurement is different from the mainstream modern alchemy since the Middle Ages. The Atlas Institute is A group of alchemists who seek to understand the origin of magic and the principles of the world."

"It is said that although they are magicians, they are a group of people whose magic circuits are poor in quality and quantity. In this way, in the process of learning magic, they will inevitably choose to rely on a large number of props instead of their own. The magic power you hold... how about it? Does it sound similar to the development route of science and technology?"

"That's true..."

Li Xiang replied with a half-understanding face.

"Even their mottos have flavor."

Da Vinci smiled and said: "[We don't need to be the strongest, we just need to create the strongest] - this is the motto of the alchemists of the Atlas Academy. They take this as their creed and create There are many extraordinary weapons."

"In the world of magic, there is a saying of seven taboos. The so-called seven taboos refer to the seven weapons manufactured by the Atlas Institute."

"...Wait, so, doesn't that place look like an arsenal full of super-dangerous weapons?"

Li Xiang, who recalled it, said in surprise.

"Hmph, that's not a wrong description. It is said that the Atlas dean of all generations will inevitably go crazy and create taboos that can destroy the world. In terms of danger, it is indeed super-dangerous. .”

Da Vinci shook his finger: "However, on the contrary, the Atlas Institute does store a lot of mysterious knowledge unknown to the world. If what the first generation Hassan said is true, then what is now located in the desert? In the Atlas courtyard, it is very likely that the truth of everything really exists."

"But in this way, you have to go deep into the desert again."

Sitting in the bamboo basket carried by Zheng Qi, Bedivere said: "Besides, I am afraid that the Sun King will also pay attention to a place like this..."

"It's okay."

Zheng Qi opened his mouth: "The fight with Osmandis will be fought sooner or later."

"Well, but if you enter the desert, the communication with Chaldea will be the same as before, right?"

Matthew made an important point.

"No way, although it is not impossible to block that kind of interference, but at this stage, it cannot be completed."

Da Vinci shrugged helplessly.

"This makes me more and more worried... I always feel that my stomach is going to hurt again..."

Doctor Roman muttered in the communication.

"Anyway, let's all go back to East Village to rest together."

Curse Wrist suggested: "The first generation of adults did not specify the exact location of the Atlas Academy, but since it is in that desert, Baimao should know some news. Among us, she is the one who goes deep into the desert most often. .”

"I will send someone to contact her as soon as possible."

-

After returning to East Village, Curse Wrist immediately arranged for people to go to the wilderness to contact Baimao.

Zheng Qi and the others also seized the time and set off to assist East Village and West Village in completing some remaining infrastructure projects.

With a good infrastructure and a large amount of food given by Fujita's treasure, as long as they don't encounter the invasion of the holy capital, the villagers of East Village and West Village will live in this mountainous area for a year or two in the future , is also perfectly fine.

... Having said that, no one will take the old man's words as a deaf ear.

Since the first-generation Hassan said that there is not much time left, it seems that time is really tight.

Fortunately, the people sent by Curse Wrist returned from the wilderness the next night.

This man not only brought back a desert map indicating the location of the Atlas Institute, but also brought back two key pieces of information.

One is that Osmandis is indeed very concerned about the Atlas Academy. Fortunately, as the old man said, even his power cannot cover it there, but because of this, Osmandis is around the Atlas Academy. Deployed quite a few sphinxes.

The second is that recently, around the Atlas courtyard, suspicious people can be seen frequently. According to the description, it is a Westerner wearing a turban on his head and wearing a black cloak.

In other words, it is difficult to guarantee whether one of Osmandis and this mysterious and suspicious person will be the first to enter the Atlas courtyard for investigation.

Time is really tight.

So after getting the news and summing it up, everyone decided to set off that night.

"Curse wrist, quiet, you stay."

Zheng Qi said bluntly.

Curse Wrist and Jing Mi, who were named, looked at each other.

"I'm really... very sorry, Your Excellency Zheng Qi."

The curse wrist said in a low voice: "I still have the mission to protect the East Village, but if you are An Jing, please take her with you. Although she is not the best at hiding among us, there is an assassin Those who serve, there will always be a time when it will be useful."

"It is enough for the East Village and the West Village to have me, and His Excellency Arash and His Excellency Fujita stationed together."

Fujita's stay is a matter of course.

His Noble Phantasm can play a greater role in the rear, and the desert area is not suitable for archers to play, and its combat effectiveness can be reserved for the general attack on the holy capital.

As for silence...

"..."

Zheng Qi looked at Jing Mi.

The girl didn't know why, but recently, as long as Zheng Qi was present, she no longer wore the mask of the old man of the mountain to show others.

So Zheng Qi could clearly see the anxiety on Jing Mi's face.

"……Row."

With a faint sigh, Zheng Qi nodded.

With Zheng Qi's approval, the girl responded cheerfully, and then posted it behind Zheng Qi's back, as usual.

"Then the team will decide."

Arash looked at Zheng Qi and the others.

Zheng Qi, Lixiang, Matthew, Da Vinci, Sanzang, Tranquility, Bedivere.

The procession to the Egyptian desert, done.

Zheng Qi glanced at the crowd, inexplicably feeling that this scene looked familiar.

(...and not at the age to be sentimental.)

He patted his forehead lightly.

"Come back safely, everyone."

Fujita said.

"Do not worry!"

Lixiang smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, let's go."

Zheng Qi turned around first.

"let's go."

Chapter 393 Chapter 93: That big guy is here again!

"This sandstorm is still as strong as ever..."

Holding a shield and protecting Li Xiang behind him, Ma Xiu stepped on the slippery sand and shouted: "Everyone, please don't get separated!"

"Relax! No problem! I walked out of the desert on my own before!"

Covered by the sandstorm, Matthew could only hear Sanzang's voice, but couldn't see Sanzang's location clearly.

"Uh, is the environment worse than last time?"

Lixiang, who put on Da Vinci's special filter mask again, hugged Matthew's waist with one hand and half covered his face with the other.

"Is it really here? There is nothing here that can be used as a signpost..."

"The distance and direction are both correct! I am number one in the round table in terms of sense of direction. I, Bedivere, have the confidence, Lixiang!"

Standing on the other side of Lixiang, Bedivere was facing the wind and sand, and while pulling up his neckline to block the gravel rushing towards his mouth, he opened his mouth and responded: "However, if there is any deviation in the map, then there is really no way!"

"My lord, are you okay?"

Sticking behind Zheng Qi, Jing Mi asked softly.

"fine."

Walking at the forefront of the team, Zheng Qi was like a high wall, blocking all the wind and sand that invaded the team from the front.

But even so, the wind and gravel passing through both sides of Zheng Qi still made it difficult for everyone to move forward.

It took Zheng Qi and the others less than a day to start from Dongzhi Village and enter the desert now.

The reason for being so fast is the way they move before entering the desert.

—They flew to the edge of the desert.

To be precise, he traveled through the wilderness on a flying dragon and a giant dragon, and flew to the junction of the desert and the wilderness.

As for where the flying dragons and giant dragons are used as mounts, I have to thank Sanzang.

Zheng Qi did not take the dragons and flying dragons who were subdued by Zheng Qi to the mountains together, but let them fall in love with each other before going to the fortress to save people.

Of course, the premise is that the giant dragon and the flying dragon group are all well-behaved to ensure that they will not attack the refugee team composed of old, weak, women and children from now on.

Zheng Qi is not bloodthirsty, so there is no reason why they have to be roasted dragon steaks.

Unexpectedly, this move gave them a chance to fly on a dragon when they entered the wilderness again.

However, even giant dragons and flying dragons dare not break into the desert at will.

Just like animals can detect whose territory a certain area belongs to through various means, for giant dragons and flying dragon groups, they can also clearly identify the danger of the desert.

Zheng Qi did not force them to go into the desert together.

After reaching the edge, Zheng Qi let the giant dragon and the group of flying dragons leave.

As for the reluctance of the giant dragon, trying to bite Zheng Qi's arm lightly to let him go with her, Zheng Qi just patted her horn lightly, letting the giant dragon, who turned back three times at this step, leave as soon as possible .

After entering the desert, the communication with Chaldea was naturally cut off again.

What Zheng Qi and the others could rely on in the stormy sandstorm, apart from the map given by Baimao, was the guidance of Bedivere and Da Vinci.

Along the way, although as Lixiang said, the surrounding scene swept by the sandstorm has hardly changed, and it is easy for people to be confused whether they have been spinning in circles, but according to the judgment of Bedwell and Da Vinci, They are indeed getting closer to their destination.

But, isn't there a slightly more conspicuous sign to distinguish the way...

"Ok?"

Zheng Qi stopped suddenly.

"Did something happen, Lord Zheng Qi?"

Jing Mi asked hastily.

Before Zheng Qi could answer, everyone in the team heard Sanzang's exclamation.

"Ah! What, what? What are you guys? Hey——wait, don't come here, wow!"
