A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Since he had been thinking about the various messages revealed by Lin Lu, Mostima did not pay too much attention to his surroundings. After hearing the reminder, he gathered his thoughts and looked at the group of people Lin Lu was talking about.

They were walking on the main road of the town. It seemed that they were different from other mercenaries in the town. The biggest difference was that their clothing and equipment were very neat, with uniform tawny cloaks, uniform dark gray clothes, uniform Tactical armed belts - these are things that ordinary mercenaries cannot get.

Most of the mercenaries are short of money and cannot afford to buy such well-made standard equipment. In Kazdaele, only the regular army, and the elite troops of the regular army, can use these equipment.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment they displayed seemed to be well-made military supplies.

"It's...people from the Tower of Babel."

Fiammetta's eyes glanced at the upward spiraling triangular tower logo on the clothes of the team, and then hurriedly turned away, frowning slightly, walking a little hastily, pulling Mostima's sleeve and turning into the alley next to it. Lin Lu quickly followed.

Her expression was still solemn until she returned to the hotel room.

"Tower of Babel? Is it an organization? Is it some famous large-scale mercenary group?"

Seeing her appearance, Lin Lu was quite curious. With Fiameta's strength and Rutland's official background, would she still be wary of a mercenary group in a place like Kazdale?

"The Tower of Babel is not a mercenary group. They are the official organization of Kazdaele. They belong to one of the parties in the Kazdaele civil war - the command of Princess Theresia. They are the elite troops under the princess. They are usually responsible for carrying out tasks that ordinary troops cannot do. Competent for difficult tasks or confidential tasks.”

Li Boli girl explained with a frown, looking worried.

After seeing the Tower of Babel appearing here, Fiameta suddenly regretted letting Mostima continue to stay here. The sudden appearance of the troops directly under the Royal Highness in the border town of Kazdel was not what it seemed. What good news? To a large extent, the Tower of Babel is synonymous with trouble, and their actions are the will of the princess.

Especially now that the situation in Kazdaele is very tense. Their identity as Rutlanders is very sensitive here. Her race is Liboli, which is not a big problem, but the halo on Mosti's horse's head is hidden at all. There is no way to hide it, and unnecessary conflicts are likely to break out once attention is drawn.

Although he is a fallen angel... but who knows what those Tower of Babel operators are thinking?The way of thinking between ordinary mercenaries and official troops is completely different!

Maybe they were targeted just now.

Chapter 42 Tower of Babel Operator and Lateran Messenger

"Scout, those three people just now..."

Outside the town, the strong Sakaz man carrying a giant sword walked to the Tower of Babel operator at the front of the team. He lowered his voice and sounded worried. He hesitated and said: "You saw her Is it halo?"

"More than that, I not only saw the halo, but also the horns on her head and the tail behind her. It's rare to see Sakota who disobeys the law."

Scout said something sighing, and then mentioned another person among the three.

"The fallen Sarkota is not the key, the important thing is Li Boli. Although she seemed to have discovered us and walked very fast, when she turned around, I saw the logo on the weapon box behind her. The weapon box with that kind of structure plus The symbol of Rutland must contain some kind of powerful gun weapon."

"Speaking of which, there is indeed a special combination among the messengers from all nations sent by Lateran, a rare duo, and quite famous. One of them once violated the law, so his body showed the racial characteristics of Sakaz. , is an anomaly.”

Sakaz, a petite woman in the team, suddenly spoke up, causing the two people in front of them to turn around.

"Touch, have you seen their information?"

Scout was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that someone in his team happened to know the relevant information.

"Because the fall of Sarkota happened to happen in Kazdaele. There are relevant archive records in the Tower of Babbit, but they are unclear and there is not much information. However, it is certain that they are indeed the officially recognized messengers of Lateran. They have been there all year round. Walking in the countries of the mainland."

"Then what do we do?"

The palm of the strong man Sakaz subconsciously touched the hilt of the giant sword behind him, and his tone was low.

"They shouldn't be in Kazdale at this time."

"Be patient, Saiken. Since they are messengers from all nations, it is possible for them to appear in any country. Of course, we will need to visit them later, but not now."

Scout patted Saiken on the shoulder and suddenly stopped.

What appeared in front of them was a broken battlefield. The ground seemed to have been lifted up by some strong impact. There were broken soil and weed debris everywhere, and the air was mixed with a strong burning smell.

The soil in the depression squeezed out by the explosion was clearly divided into two parts. One part looked like it was pushed away by a pure shock wave, while the other part was filled with traces of being swept by high-temperature flames, showing a charred color.

There were many mercenaries staying outside the battlefield. Most of them just took a look and left in a hurry. Only Scout stepped into the explosion crater after looking at it for a while, lowered his head and turned around, and picked up a broken metal bullet casing from the ground.

"Special types of bullets are rare. Only large guns have the ability to fire. There is no one here who can use such a big weapon. It seems that it should be the handiwork of the messenger lady. She fought with someone here. , both sides are not injured, and to be able to cause such a degree of energy hedging, the other party in the battle should be a very powerful magician, I think I already know who it is."

"Is it the Sakota who violated the law? She has two staffs in her hands. She should be a magician."

Touch reached out and pulled open the mask covering his face a little, and his small nose twitched slightly, as if he was sniffing the surrounding smell.

"There are no signs of the Origin Stone spell remaining. It's strange. A spell that can achieve this level of destructive power shouldn't have no traces."

"No, it was another one who did it, the man who was traveling with them."

Scout threw the bullet casing in his hand and looked in the direction of the town, with a firm tone: "Of the three people, Sakota is the most calm one. Li Boli has traces of fighting on his body, and that man's clothes and hair were raped. The impact caused chaos, and as expected, it should be the two of them who took action here."

"Hey, you can see so clearly from so far away? Should I be called a sniper?"

"Praise, prize, prize, after all, it's about eating."

"Then let's go back now? This mission is very important. It might not be a good thing for them to appear at this time."

Saken's ideas have always been very radical. After listening to Scout's analysis, the first thing he thought of was to 'eliminate unstable factors that may have hidden dangers'. What's more, when he thought of this unstable factor, he had always been reluctant to deal with Sakaz. As a Rutland man, his desire to take action was even stronger.

"That's the messenger from all nations. Do you want to cause a diplomatic dispute? Saiken?"

This was probably not the first time that Sacon had revealed his radical ideas during a mission. Scout shook his head, put the bullet casing in his pocket, waved his hand to the team to return, and said helplessly: "You'd better keep your attitude when we meet later. Be silent, don't talk, I'm worried you'll mess things up...Forget it, Touch and I will go meet them later, and you can take everyone to find a room to rest."

-------------------------------------

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a sudden knock on the door in the small, not spacious room. Fiametta and Mostima, who were deep in thought, looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds.

The operators from the Tower of Babel are here.

If they were ordinary mercenaries, no one would mind their own business, but the Tower of Babel, which belongs to the Kazdaele official, is different. They themselves represent the will of one of the rulers of this country, and it is basically impossible for them to appear in sensitive periods. The Laterans within the territory turned a blind eye.

You must know that the relationship between the two countries is not friendly. The Laterans were attacked not once or twice in Kazdaele. There was even a vicious incident in which Sakota was robbed and killed and his guardian gun was taken away. Therefore, in recent years, it has Very few residents of Rutland enter Kazdare. Sakota who dares to enter Kazdare at this time will be the focus of attention as long as he is discovered by official forces.

"Two messenger ladies, we are Tower of Babel operators affiliated with Her Highness Theresia. I think this conversation will be beneficial to both of us."

A deep male voice came from outside the door. Lin Lu thought for a moment and was about to open the door, but was stopped by Mostema.

"I come."

Miss Angel didn't make a sound, she just made a mouth gesture, and put on that slightly alienated and formulaic smile on her face.

The wooden door of the hotel was gently opened to the inside, and two fully armed Tower of Babel operators, a man and a woman, appeared outside the door. Seeing Mostima opening the door, the male Sakaz raised his hands slightly, as if to express He had no ill intentions, which made both Fiammetta and Lin Lu sigh in relief, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Chapter 43 Deal with Tower of Babel Operator

"In other words, the three of you have taken over the task of transporting goods to Kazdaele?"

Scout pondered for a moment, then his eyes fell on Lin Lu: "Mr. Lin Lu, the current situation in Kazdale is relatively complicated. With all due respect, can you reveal some mission-related information? I have no intention of breaking the rules, I just need to know your mission goals. It doesn’t matter which city or region it is.”

"This……"

It is a rule in the logistics industry to keep the mission items, client and consignee information confidential throughout the process, but if it is just the destination, it is not secret information that cannot be disclosed.

Lin Lu thought for a moment and nodded: "I can only tell you the general area. The destination we are going to is a free village on the southern border of Kazdaele. It is not convenient to disclose more information."

"South of the border?"

Upon hearing this answer, Scout seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly.

"It seems that we have no need for conflict before. The southern border is our territory. If this is the case, then we will not interfere with the mission of the three, but..."

His voice drew out, seemed hesitant, but soon became firm.

"There is one thing that requires the cooperation of the three of you. Please do not leave here before tomorrow evening. As compensation, we can escort you for a while on the way back to the Tower of Babel."

"..."

Lin Lu knew that the Tower of Babel operators who also used guns as weapons did not completely believe them. This Tower of Babel team might have come to this border town with some important mission, so before the mission was completed, they In order to eliminate the "unstable factors" that may affect the mission, according to Sakaz's temperament, this level of surveillance control may be the most relaxed approach.

To be honest, being inexplicably suspected and being monitored for a day was really uncomfortable, but Lin Lu didn't think it was necessary to conflict with the Tower of Babel operators over such a trivial matter.

After all, the other party represents half of Kazdaele, and taking action may cause very bad effects.

"Not enough, Mr. Scout, I think you can understand that your request is completely unreasonable to us. We must ensure that the goods are delivered within the mission time limit. Staying here will affect the progress of the mission. Of course, we I have no intention of being an enemy of the Tower of Babel, so your request can be granted, but you must make compensation for it, actual compensation."

"Actual compensation...what do you want? Longmen coins? Or materials?"

Scout did not hesitate too much about this. Such conditions are reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with them. If the possible instability factors in the mission can be removed at a small financial cost, then the deal is very cost-effective. Anyway, the mission is The money you spend can be reimbursed after you return.

"A pure source stone, a pure source stone that has been processed and can be used as a medium for magicians to cast spells."

Lin Lu shook her head and stretched out a finger.

However, Scout did not answer immediately. The price Lin Lu asked for was completely beyond his expectation. If it were Longmen coins or materials, he would not hesitate at all, but the processed pure source stone was different. It was real. Strategic materials, things that can be used as staffs or energy cores for certain spells.

Not that they didn't, but there's a certain level of danger inherent in handing something like that to a stranger.

"Okay, a pure source stone. As the price for obtaining it, you cannot leave our sight before sunset tomorrow."

After weighing the pros and cons, Scout finally agreed to this condition.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Nice to work with, Touch."

The palms of the two of them separated as soon as they touched, and Scout waved to the Sakaz woman who had been silent behind him, motioning for her to bring out something.

"Tsk, it's not like you don't have any, why do you want to use the core of my staff..."

Touch complained reluctantly, but still took out a fist-sized metal box from his tactical backpack and handed it over.

"Hopefully you will keep your word and that will be a good thing for both of us."

After the transaction was completed, Scout took a deep look at Lin Lu, pulled Touch and left the room, closing the door behind him.

"Why did you collect so many pure source stones?"

The two Tower of Babel operators left, and Mostima's formulaic smile relaxed, and she curiously asked a question that she was very interested in.

She knew that Lin Lu carried several pieces of pure source stones among the supplies she carried with her. Now she took the opportunity to knock one out from the Tower of Babel... One of these things is enough to be used as the magic core of a staff. For months or even years, even magicians who specialize in the art of Origin Stone would not carry many with them.

And as a dangerous item in a certain sense, it is very inconvenient to exchange money for it. What is the use of having so many of them?

"I'm going to use them to make something. As for what it is... you'll see after it's successful."

Lin Lu kept it secret and didn't say anything clearly.

He has now determined that the source stone of the Terra world is indeed similar to the pyroxene in the junction area to a certain extent as Lani guessed. The two are not necessarily the same thing, but they are similar in functionality. The most obvious thing is that the pyroxene magic he uses can be released with the help of the energy contained in the source stone.

By analogy, it might be possible to use source stones as raw materials to create some magic props unique to the border area. It just so happens that he also masters the craftsmanship of pyroxene items - the pyroxene craftsmen's production notes collected through all the hard work can be Not for nothing.

If he can really make a finished product, then he will have many more ways to fight the enemy.

"Compared to this, what do you think those Tower of Babel operators want to do when they go to such a remote border town?"

"Who knows then."

Mostima was not very interested in this topic and did not even bother to guess. Seeing that Lin Lu was unwilling to say more, he did not continue to ask, but picked up his staff.

"Now that they are gone, can they teach me that spell now?"

Rather than speculating about the troubles at the Tower of Babel, she was more interested in new spells she had never seen before.

"Right away, right away, I'll teach you."

Lin Lu thought for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Fiammetta, who had not said a word from beginning to end, and her eyes were fixed on her hands wearing tactical gloves.

Such a pair of hands that are often exposed to precision weapons such as guns must be very dexterous, right?

"Then what...Miss Fiametta, can I ask you a favor?"

Chapter 44 The great artist from the border area

"So why should I do this for you?"

In the not spacious hotel room, Fiametta put down the tactical dagger in her hand angrily, raised her head and glared at Lin Lu.

On the table in front of her were placed three large milky-white stones, two of which had been carved with clear outlines, and the images of human faces with beards could be seen.

"It's useful, it's useful. This is a very important magic item. Mostima will also use it later."

Lin Lu was lying on the window sill, holding a drawing in her hand and sketching. After hearing this, she raised her head and took a look at Fiammetta's work progress, and she was immediately very satisfied.

As expected of a super Terran who can withstand the recoil of large guns with bare hands, the Liboli girl's seemingly slender wrists are actually quite powerful. She can carve on rocks like tofu using just a tactical dagger. .

Of course, this is also due to the excellent quality of the daggers made by Rutland, but it is undeniable that the girl's own strange power played a very important role in this process.

"Be quiet, Sufferer, and don't disturb me from studying my spells. I'm about to succeed."

Mostima, who was holding the staff at the foot of the bed, opened his eyes, and there was a faint flow of blue light on his palms.
