At the same time (?), in the base of a secret organization under the Mediterranean Sea.
The sound of gathering has been urging everyone in the base to move forward. The people who disguised themselves and sneaked into the base also followed this gathering signal and were about to enter a huge hall in the center of the base.
In one of the passages where no one else was walking, two people were walking side by side. Although they were disguised as Dusk Cultists in guard clothes, their stature was slightly shorter than the others, and they were easily exposed when walking with other Dusk Cultists.
That's why I specifically chose a passage where no one else was walking.
Before entering the hall, one of the two people suddenly stopped and sighed: "We have finally reached this turning point, meow. Are you ready, Husky?"
The voice is that of a young man.
"Idiot, don't call me by my name in a place like this." Another person in disguise replied, also with a young voice.
"It doesn't matter anymore, isn't it?" The young man who first spoke said: "If we fail at this turning point, we will just use the [door] to jump to the same time period in the next parallel universe, again.
It’s just a turning point challenge. Even if you fail ten thousand times or a million times, it’s okay until you succeed.”
"If it's really that simple--" his companion sighed: "Forget it, no more words. Let's go, Hal."
Two young men walked into the palace to meet this fateful moment.
At the same moment, Palamedes also walked into the main hall of the assembly wearing the same religious guard robe obtained by scrapping the corpse.
A leopard's tail is in the way and can easily reveal his identity, so he wraps his tail around his waist like a belt. Although this affects his balance when walking, he doesn't need to fight now, so it doesn't matter.
The dark hall was so dark that even the ceiling was almost invisible. But as a leopard man, Palamedes still had a certain degree of night vision. He could vaguely see that the ceiling was about thirty feet above the ground. Then
It is almost made of a layer of material that does not reflect light, but there are brackets between the non-reflective partitions. They are probably steel brackets, and they are vaguely reflecting and slowly seeping up from the cracks in the floor.
, lavender light, so Palamedes could see it.
And this floor is also weird. The light seeping out from the cracks in the floor is actually the only lighting in this assembly hall. Fortunately, the light on the floor is very uniform (I wonder what technology is used to spread the light evenly?), which makes Zou Zhi go.
People on the road can at least see each other clearly. In other words, this arrangement is the best. Even if he hides his face under the three-cornered hat, Palamedes is still worried that the disguise will be seen through. The surrounding people
The light source is so dark and comes from underground, people's field of vision will be greatly restricted, and it will not be easy to see through the disguise of Palamedes. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Palamedes originally had
He wanted to find Arthur and Merlin as much as possible in this crowd of people who had also sneaked in disguised as believers, but now the vision is so poor, it is probably impossible. Even if they promised to meet him in secret
Vivian and Palamedes were worried that she might not be able to find him among the crowd.
If there is a battle next, I just hope that friendly troops will not be accidentally injured in the chaos. No. The Leopard Man soldier shook his head subconsciously. How could it be possible that he was accidentally injured? After all, the ones who came over were experienced warriors like King Arthur. Even if there were ten thousand
Unexpected, they can easily resolve all approaching dangers, so they are unlikely to be accidentally injured.
But what the hell is going on here? The atmosphere is really weird. Palamedes secretly glanced at the device used by the Twilight cultists to assign work. It was also the device that led Palamedes to this hall just now.
It came. But now that it has achieved its purpose, the indicator lights on the panel have all gone out, like a piece of broken copper without electricity. Although there should be no useful information from this thing, but if
If you take it back and analyze it carefully, you might find something else, so Palamedes didn't rush to throw it away, but secretly picked it off and hid it.
After the cultists gathered, the original noise gradually fell silent. Everyone here seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive, or waiting for some event to happen.
Palamedes swallowed his saliva and observed everything secretly.
The floor is open.
In the central area of this huge 100-yard square hall, there is a place where no believers are standing. The floor there is gradually opening outwards along the initial opening point. The so-called opening actually means that the entire square floor tile collapses downwards and sinks into
And disappeared into the mysterious subspace. And in an invisible purple space, something is floating up!
Oh, of course. Vivian told him before that a ship was stolen from the research institute by these Twilight Cultists, and now that the ship appeared in this palace, Paramedis didn't even feel it.
It was a bit of a surprise. However, the appearance of this "ship" surprised Big Cat, because he was initially told that it was a ship, but in fact what appeared in front of him was more like a train. The thing in front of
There is also a drill head, which seems to be used for exploring the center of the earth. It is equipped with a drill bit to drill through the hard rock underground. Its bottom is not the smooth bottom of a normal ship, but is driven by countless wheels.
Steel tracks. The tracks are not for paddling, but more for traveling on land. It can even be said to be used to cross some very rough terrain.
It was simply an enlarged and extended version of the ground-penetrating tank train. Palamedes wondered in his mind. Isn’t that kind of thing one of the weapons that was eliminated in the human world thousands of years ago? The reason why he knew this was because he had
As a general in the orc alliance, I was forced to study the history of human weapons. I accidentally stumbled across a page of illustrations in an old book.
Is this thing the "Explorer"? No, no. This thing is a replica of the Explorer. Vivian specially built an identical exploration ship to deceive these Twilight Cultists.
The fake Explorer that was stolen from the research institute was said to be equipped with weapons and a signaling device. It was by tracking the signal sent by the ship that Palamedes and the others found the ship.
Plant in a deep sea base.
Of course, whether it is a bomb or a sending device, Weiwei should have installed it in a very hidden place. Paramedis's wife is a scheming scientist. She wants to hide something in a ship. Others
How is it possible to find it easily? The * and the sending device should still be there, and the fact that this ship is a forgery should not have been exposed yet? It must be like this. Otherwise, these Twilight Cultists would not gather in such a place.
, stupidly celebrating their "victory" this time.
But that thing is so ugly. The entire ship is pitch black, and the surface of its shell is illuminated by irregular purple-red and blue-green oily lights under the purple light emitted from the floor. I don’t know if it was designed from the beginning.
Is it like this, or did the Dusk Cultist steal the boat and paint it in this color? Palamedes didn't think his wife's aesthetic sense was that bad, so he concluded that it was the latter.
"Gentlemen!" A hatch was opened in a place similar to an observation deck on the top of the ship, and a figure rose up from it. As soon as the man appeared, he immediately announced: "Decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years. After a long period of time,
After waiting for countless times, our dawn is finally coming!"
That guy was wearing a red robe and sounded like a preacher. Needless to say, he was probably the rumored cardinal of the Twilight Order. Palamedes didn’t know if the cardinal who was speaking was the previous one.
It's the same cardinal who caused trouble in Vivian's research institute, but judging from his thin figure, tone full of madness and paranoia, and his condescending and disgusting attitude, he should be the same cardinal.
.
But... is there still dawn? Palamedes couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Now it's your group of cultists, the darkest hour of midnight - in every sense. This group is about to be exterminated.
What kind of dawn can there be for the cultists who were killed?
"Then------" the cardinal raised his hand high: "Let the ceremony begin!"
Ritual? What ritual? Palamedes was still wondering, but the believers beside him had already taken action. To put it simply, these Twilight cultists were circling around the exploration ship, while circling their mouths
While I was reciting something, I didn’t know what mantra I was reciting.
In order not to be exposed, Palamedes could only pretend to follow, but he really couldn't understand the mantras recited by those people, so he could only lower his voice and imitate it poorly. Only then did he begin to feel
Regret, why did he shrink his ears and hide them in the three-cornered hat he was wearing? If his leopard ears could be used normally, with the leopard man's own good hearing, it would be a piece of cake to hear those incantations clearly.
.
But... it was not exposed. His poor imitation was not exposed, probably because there were too many people at the scene. There were at least 500 Twilight Cultists chanting unsettling evil spells and surrounding them.
The ship was going around in a circle. It was basically impossible to expose just one or two people who were acting unnaturally in such a scene.
"Darker than dusk, scarier than blood." When other believers were walking around the exploration ship, the cardinal on the fake Explorer also recited loudly, "
Although time passes, your strength will last forever.
By your name, I will swear,
The dawn of embers will surely come!
"
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble! ------
The ground was trembling, the air was trembling. In the darkness, something began to move. But the group of Dusk Cultists calmly continued to circle and recite incantations, as if all this had nothing to do with them!
"Palami, run away!" Vivian didn't care that the magic might be monitored, and began to use telepathy to contact her husband: "There is a very amazing energy reaction in the center of the hall------it is about to explode.
