Lloyd was soon tracked by the guards. After a fierce battle, he fought while escaping, but was finally exhausted.
"Huhu..." Lloyd was already unable to do what he wanted.
"Hmph, it's really amazing. The captain of the special agent support section actually teased us soldiers to this point."
"He seems to be El's former colleague, and he does have some real abilities."
"Okay, put down your weapons quickly. The order from above is to capture you alive. Try not to get you hurt."
"I refuse," Lloyd said.
"This guy! Do you still want to resist?"
Guard Captain: 'It's really hard to understand, why are you resisting so hard? It seems like you are very dissatisfied with Crossbell's new system?'
"But if you launch a resistance on your own, it is impossible to change the status quo."
'Nonetheless, if no one comes forward, this situation will never change.' Lloyd said: "I don't think I will give in. In order to find the truth with my own eyes, Wie will find his important companions."
"
"I will never give up. Even if my legs are broken, I will try my best to stand until the end."
Guard Captain: "What a strong will, what a pity, I killed him in one go!"
Lloyd was surrounded.
He was fearless in the face of danger and thought he would never give up. Randy, Vaggie, Section Chief Sergey, Tio, Ellie, and Kia, please lend me your strength.
"Oops? You seem to have forgotten another reliable helper."
Then suddenly a sound came out.
"What was that just now? The sound rang directly in my brain." The guard captain.
At this time, there was a roar!
What came out was a huge wolf.
"Retreat, those who guard the false holy land." The giant white wolf said, "I will take this person away."
"What a joke! How could the newborn Crossbell succumb to a mere phantom beast?"
Then the giant white wolf raised its claws slightly and knocked the captain away.
"Okay, do you need me to repeat it again?" said the giant white wolf.
"No need, we retreat." All the guards fled.
"Oh, it seems that you have been frightened a lot. You haven't returned to this form for a long time and you are a little bit out of control." The giant white wolf said.
Lloyd: "There is so much I want to say, but I'd better say this first."
"Um, what?"
"Chait, it's a coincidence that you came here, isn't it?" Lloyd said.
With Zeit's help, Lloyd began to move towards the target point on its back.
"Are you a sacred beast sent by the goddess?"
"Well, this description is easier to understand. A long time ago, the goddess gave the great seven treasures to mankind.
And our mission is to witness its future development.”
"We? Could it be that the Long that appeared in Libel's mutation is also the same?"
"Well, that's really smart. The ancient Longleg is exactly my compatriot." God Wolf said: "In order to witness the situation of the Sky Treasure, it originally stayed in Liber."
"But now that the mission has been completed, I don't know where it is going."
Lloyd: "I'm totally confused. In other words, you have been living in Crossbell since a long time ago?"
"Well, starting before the Great Collapse 1,200 years ago, why did the illusory treasure disappear? After that, what did some people do to make the treasure reappear?"
Divine Wolf: "I know a thing or two about these things."
Lloyd: 'Honestly, these are things that I would find difficult to investigate clearly.'
"Why did the Croois family, which added the goddess's treasure, lose the treasure, thus leaving Kia with such a mission?"
"Please, please tell me, what happened twelve hundred years ago? And what happened to Kia five hundred years ago?"
"Okay, actually I appear in front of you just for this reason." God Wolf said.
"The most precious treasure granted to the goddess here is the virtual god who controls the attribute of illusion. Illusion is the attribute that controls thoughts and cognition, and controls cause and effect.
Because of the possession of a treasure that contained such power, a group of humans centered on the Croois family at that time developed a desire to replace the goddess Edes and become the god of the earth.
Understanding human beings, understanding everything on earth, controlling cause and effect, and then guiding human beings sounds like a treasure in the sky that can infinitely satisfy human desires. They have a lot in common, right?"
"But because the Illusionary Treasure was endowed with a higher personality by the goddess, it will not repeat the mistakes of the Sky Treasure. It has the wisdom and judgment to prevent human beings from falling and guide them to the right path."
The Divine Wolf said: "So it could have guided humans to the right path, but unfortunately, the treasure's heart also has its limits.
Human nature of all kinds of light, countless sins, and countless distorted realities that exist in the world, the fact that the Magic Treasure can understand these and guide them means that it has the same emotions as humans."
"And its heart gradually collapsed in the process. If it continues like this, sooner or later it will lose control and hurt the humans it is supposed to protect.
The Supreme Treasure who realized this, after all kinds of troubles, finally made a decision, that is, to get in touch with the cause and effect of his own existence in the world, and to completely disappear from this world."
Lloyd; "How could it be possible, so that the people who came later would..."
"Well, they fell into endless confusion, sadness and fear because of the disappearance of the treasure, but they did not reflect at all and think about why things developed like this and why the treasure made such a decision."
The divine wolf said: "It's like being possessed by a man, wanting to create something that is exactly the same as the missing treasure.
However, in the initial stage they could only fumble blindly without a clue, but after 700 years of trying, they accumulated a variety of knowledge and created a unique technical system.
That is a magical technology called alchemy that can create new things from scratch.
In this way, they launched an extremely astonishing and ambitious plan here. They cultivated the puppet DG and gave them the core of the new treasure to cultivate.
Then they applied the concept of alchemy to the extreme and built a huge formula in this place. This was the plan that the alchemists of the Croois family had been implementing for hundreds of years.
In order to ensure the funds needed for the plan, they put on a layer of IBC skin. On the other hand, DG wanted to make them the object of their faith.
That is to say, the core of the treasure woke up from its long slumber and started to move around. Five hundred years passed like this, and finally we reached the current situation."
Lloyd: "It's really shocking, but I finally understand the whole story. Caite, Miss Maria once called Kia the Zero Treasure."
"What does that mean? Is it different from the illusory treasure that disappeared back then?"
"Unfortunately, I don't understand this problem either." God Wolf said: "I'm afraid the Croois family has finally mastered something after twelve hundred years of persistence."
"With the results of their latest discoveries, what they want to reproduce is not something equivalent to the Phantom Treasure, but to create a Zero Treasure with power that surpasses the Phantom Treasure.
Shenlang said: "Take that white divine machine as an example. It is not the power of the divine machine itself, but the power obtained through the treasure."
"It turns out that the Illusory Treasure does not have the power to make huge things disappear in an instant. Speaking of which, the power to destroy space in an instant is more consistent with the characteristics of the void attribute."
"If that's not the full power of the Zero Treasure, then even I can't imagine how amazing its potential capabilities are."
"Really?" Lloyd said; "I have another question for you. Judging from what you just said, that child Kia is not an ordinary human being."
"Yes." God Wolf said: "She is a human-like but non-human existence, the core created in order to reappear the treasure."
"I'm afraid it's an artificial life created using the secrets of alchemy."
Kia probably knew this truth for a long time, but she still pretended to smile like that in front of everyone.
Under the leadership of the divine wolf, we arrived at Tanggulamu Hill.
"This is Smith's side," said Lloyd.
"After escaping here, those guys from the garrison shouldn't be able to catch up." God Wolf said, "Let's take a rest first."
"Thank you. It's really thanks to you for saving Cait this time," Lloyd said.
: "Huh? What's that in front? Crossbell seems to be enveloped by something?"
"It's something similar to a barrier. People with permission can enter freely, but without permission, it's absolutely impossible to pass through." Shenlang said.
"People and vehicles are the same."
"Is there such a magical thing?" Lloyd said.
"In addition, the grass of spiritual wisdom is blooming crazily throughout the Crossbell area. It can even be said that Crossbell has become integrated with the treasure."
The divine wolf said.
"What exactly is the Grass of Spiritual Wisdom? I heard that it has a certain relationship with the Qi Yao Veins flowing underground." Lloyd said.
"Back then, the Illusion Treasure opened this flower in order to understand humans and things on earth. It can be understood as the eyes of the Treasure." God Wolf said: "The treasure and the spirit are connected through this object, which will distort the surrounding space."
"Phantom beasts that did not originally appear in this world have appeared one after another, probably because of this reason." Shenlang said.
"So that's it. DG once held many cruel and inhumane rituals back then. Is there a reason why they would use the true knowledge made from the grass of spiritual wisdom in the rituals?"
"Well, many people who have died because of their evil deeds have a lot of knowledge and personality. I am afraid that the huge information was originally transmitted to her sleeping in the Tower of the Sun through true knowledge."
Shenlang said: "The information transmitted to the past will automatically organize and form the seedbed needed to produce a high-level personality. After five hundred years, the core of the treasure finally awakens."
Lloyd: "No wonder Kia knows everything and is so smart."
"That's all I can tell you." Shenlang said: "They carefully planned a perfect plan, which ultimately led to the current situation."
"In this case, there are basically no options available to you. How about just running away until the heat of the situation subsides?"
"Haha, that's true." Lloyd said: "It might be a good choice if you can escape to Smith and go to your uncle's house."
"However, I still don't want to do it because I haven't confirmed the truth I want to know. In order to confirm it, I need the power of many people." Lloyd said.
"Including the power of Ellie, Tio, and Randy, I have to go back for this. Cait is really sorry, you sent me here specially." Lloyd said.
"What is the truth you want to confirm?" God Wolf said.
"Then do you still need to ask?" Lloyd: "Putting aside her power and origin, I want to know, what does that child Kiya really want?"
"If we don't take her back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get her to reveal her true thoughts, and maybe Kia is under a pressure that even the treasure of the year can't handle."
Lloyd said: "How could I put her in that kind of environment? Even if I want to defeat Arios and the Croois family, I must bring Kia back."
"Haha, what a great father to a lovely child."
At this time, Waji and Aruba, Kevin and Miss Liz came over.
Lloyd; "Vaj, why are you?"
"Aruba, Miss Lian Lisi, you are here...
"Long time no see." Aruba said.
"Long time no see, Lloyd." Liz said.
Kevin: 'Hey, we've been without swords for four months. It seems like you still remember me. I'm so happy.'
"Remember, you and Miss Liz both belong to the Knights of the Star Cup. Could it be you, Waggie?" Lloyd said.
"Haha, that's right, a member of the Star Cup Knights of Qiyao Church and the ninth guardian knight of the Sacred Scripture of the Blue. Please give me your advice in the future," Waji said.
"What!" said Lloyd.
Aruba: "By the way, I am a regular knight in the Knights, and it is my task to assist Vaji."
"Ah, wait a minute. Things happened so suddenly. I was a little confused for a moment. Speaking of which, when I first met Miss Liz, you didn't say anything."
Lloyd said.
"Sorry, we deliberately pretended not to know each other," Liz said.
"Haha, because Master Waji's infiltration investigation is an extremely secret mission."
Waji: 'That's right. Thanks to her coming, I can move much more easily.'
"Oh, that's a great job."
"It's an honor for me to be able to play a role," Liz said.
Kevin: "Ha, because no matter how you look at it, Liz is not an ordinary nun."
"Thank you, but after all, I don't think you have the right to say that to me, Kevin," Liz said.
Waji: "Okay, that's it for the new self-introduction. Our presence here is exactly what it calls..."
"Chait?"
'Well, I asked them to come. I thought that if your determination has become unshakable, you need reliable helpers.'
"That's right." Lloyd said.
"The Knights sent me to sneak into Crossbell beforehand. This shows that the Knights had a certain degree of prediction of this incident."
Vaji said: "There have always been a lot of unknowns about the conspiracy of the Croois family and Kia's true identity. After meeting with the Divine Wolf Society a few days ago, I finally understood the inside story of the entire incident." (Unfinished)
