Chapter 2533 Separation of paths and deviation (twenty-six)
While the elders were taking their places with the holy relic puzzle pieces, Bediwell also picked up his [Sun Disk] from the ground.
[The Sun God's Sun Disk] is no longer as hot as before, but for safety reasons, the werewolf young man only used his Mithril alloy prosthetic left arm to pick up the [Sun Disk]. He placed the Sun Disk on the palm of the prosthetic limb
, maintain this posture so that the corner of the [Yingqi Orb] emerging from the [Sun Disk] can continue to emit rainbow light in all directions.
This shouldn't be completely considered helping the Brotherhood, right? Bediwell just wants to try out the use of [Yingqi Orb], it's no big deal. Understanding its usage will also be beneficial to Bediwell himself, so why not?
"Please form a circle around me and use the plane of the [Sacred Puzzle] that reflects the light to aim at the [Sun Disk]." The werewolf young man ordered.
The twelve elders did as they were told, and gathered around Bediwell, aligning the smooth planes that must be present on every [Sacred Puzzle] with the sun disk. They soon acted like mirrors.
, reflecting the rainbow light emitted from [Yingqi Orb].
In this way, the twelve [Holy Object Puzzles] reflected twelve pictures, and they fell on the ground one by one to form a big picture.
[Yingqi Orb] automatically adjusts the screen, the entire screen gradually becomes clearer, and the reflected information becomes more and more accurate.
The fugitive Elder Cattelan was sitting in front of a campfire in a cave. The cave is a limestone cave with a porous structure that is easily eroded by water. The rock surface looks like pockmarks, which is particularly uncomfortable to see. From the scale
, judging from the dim lighting conditions at the top of the cave, it should be fifty or sixty feet underground.
"There are many such underground limestone caves in South Africa, Angola, Nigeria, Madagascar and other places. This little information alone is not enough," one of the elders said.
"You are..." Bediwell looked at the elder. Among the elders, this one was relatively young. His beard and hair were not all white yet, and he had a very refreshing goatee. Other places
His beard was all clean shaven.
"Geologist Karzan, I sincerely serve you, Prophet Bediwell." The other party replied.
"I'm not a prophet!!" Bedivere said angrily.
"Wait, look at that!" Another elder suddenly said, pointing to a black shadow in the corner of the screen: "It seems to be some kind of animal. Can you enlarge the screen?"
When he said this, everyone came up with this idea, and the picture actually moved to the shadow of the animal, began to zoom in, and the brightness of that part was even enhanced.
That's a lizard. Some kind of small black lizard. It's eating small bugs in the cave. The tongue is purple and may be poisonous.
"Ah, the Moroni Gila Monster is a species unique to Madagascar and is only found in the Comoros Islands." The elder who just spoke continued: "It seems that the search scope has been narrowed down a lot."
Bedivere looked at the unshaven elder with gray eyebrows that could almost touch his cheeks and didn't know what to say.
"Sawak Hassan is just a scholar who studies African animals and plants." The elder introduced himself.
"...But there are at least thirty such limestone caves under the Comoros Islands. Where should we find them?" Karzan asked.
"When did Elder Cattelan start fleeing?" Bedivere asked.
"This morning... it was about four o'clock in the morning." Academician Zuster recalled, "When another fake elder took hostages and launched an attack, he also took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
Bedivere frowned: "From Cairo?"
"From Cairo." The academician nodded.
"It's... half past eight. It took him about four hours to escape from Cairo to the Comoros Islands near Madagascar. This is already a distance of more than half of Africa. Without transportation, it would be difficult.
Imagine he could escape this far."
"He has a means of transportation. Elder Cattelan originally came to Cairo to attend a meeting in his sand boat. There were spare cavalry in his sand boat. When he escaped back to his sand boat, the crew did not know that he was an artificial man.
He probably drove the iron cavalry to escape at all costs from that time on, and no one tried to stop him at that time." Academician Zuster said: "With the iron cavalry, it is very simple to fly from Cairo to the Comoros Islands.
matter."
"Remember, he has his own lightstone mine in the Comoros Islands. There are several underground caves left after the lightstone mine was excavated." Geologist Karzan added, "A few years ago, Elder Cattelan also found
Ask me to help explore the underground caves over there. I really don’t know whether the Cattleya at that time was the real Cattleya, or has it been replaced by an artificial man?"
"He must be hiding in some underground limestone cave that he knows, but it must be an uninhabited mine. He cannot take the risk of being seen again." Bediwell analyzed: "And the cavalry is in Como.
Landing near the Luo Islands will definitely leave a conspicuous arc of light in the sky, and the locals may see something. Well... it was too early, and it is possible that no one has gotten up yet to see that scene.
....."
"The slaves working in the light stone mine work in two shifts, day and night. There will always be someone awake at that moment." Elder Hassan reminded again.
"I understand. Once we get there, we'll look for the slaves in the mining area." Bedivere nodded: "We should be able to locate the hiding place of the fake Elder Cattleya soon... huh?"
"
In the picture illuminated by the Yingqi Orb, Bediwell suddenly saw a moving shadow. A little curious, he concentrated and looked again, and the picture also moved according to his thoughts, focusing on the moving shadow.
On the shadow.
Is that a young man? That look looks a bit familiar. Where have you seen him before?
Bediwell couldn't help but frown, and understood instantly: "...your son?"
"Hahaha..." the academician laughed awkwardly.
No wonder he looked so familiar. It turned out that the child was the son of Academician Zuster. There were indeed many similarities in appearance, especially the child's nose and eyes, which were exactly the same as Academician Zuster. While Bediwell was puzzled, he also noticed from the picture
You can see that the boy's hands were tied behind his back, and there seemed to be ropes on his legs. He was obviously kidnapped. There were no obvious injuries on Jonathan's body... at least in this low-brightness picture.
Can't be seen inside.
"Elder Cattelan probably took advantage of the chaos and took someone as a hostage. We haven't had time to find out." The academician scratched his head: "I didn't expect that the person he took was Jonathan."
"Are you kidding me? Your son was taken away and you didn't find out until now?" Bedivere couldn't help but complained ferociously.
"Well... our side is also in a mess. I thought the little naughty boy was hiding somewhere in the base and causing trouble." Academician Zuster shrugged.
No, it’s not that this guy didn’t know that his son was lost. It’s just because the brotherhood is in chaos now and he can’t find a suitable opportunity or is embarrassed to mention it to Bediville. But it’s strange to say that
, why did the fake Elder Cattelan want to capture a child, and why was it the child of Academician Zuster? He just appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time and suffered disaster, or was it because there was something special about him that caused
Elder Cattelan's attention?
At this moment, what was reflected in the picture was the fake Elder Cattelan holding a dagger in his hand and looking fiercely at the young man. Academician Zuster's son swallowed his saliva.
"Hmph!" the werewolf young man muttered, "I'm going to rescue people right now. And get rid of the artificial man by the way. Can you guys locate the mine where the fake Elder Cattelan is hiding before I get to the Comoros Islands?"
?"
"It should be possible to mobilize the manpower and material resources of the Meyerson Brotherhood." All the elders said one after another.
"Don't pay too much attention to that boy Jonathan," Academician Zuster also said: "Just do what you should do, Mr. Bedivere Prophet..."
"Aren't you worried about your son's safety?"
"Hahaha... He is a bit... special." Academician Zuster said. As for what the academician meant by "special", Bediwell felt that if he asked, he might get a series of answers.
He would explain endlessly, so he simply stopped asking. Anyway, it would be clear when he saw the child.
"Mr. Bedivere," Elder Hassan suddenly asked again: "Since this artifact in your hand can help us locate the replaced Elder Cattelan, is it also possible to find other possible artificial humans from the Brotherhood organization?"
Replacement cadre?"
"Uh," Bedivere was stunned by the question. He paused for about ten seconds to think, and then replied: "Theoretically, it is possible, if the operating principle of [Yingqi Orb] is really as I imagined. -----
-Have any of you ever seen that, um, [Artificial Component] in the brain of an android?"
All the elders and cadres shook their heads.
Of course, when those fake elders launched an attack last night, the entire brotherhood was in chaos. The guards probably didn't know that the artificial human body had a self-destruction function, so they were unable to stop the artificial human being from self-destructing in time. Once it self-destructed, those artificial
The person himself and everything around him will be completely corroded by the acid, and it is impossible to leave [artificial human components] behind.
"If we can get the artificial human components for everyone to see, maybe we can do something." Bedivere said: "Okay. I will pay extra attention when I deal with the fake Elder Cattelan. There is always a way to get his brain back."
It’s an artificial human component."
"Then it's your turn." Elder Hassan said: "Indeed, you have done enough for us. You have no obligation or responsibility to help us. Now asking you to do more things for us may be a bit shameless.
.But------but if there is a way to help us locate the senior members of the Brotherhood who have been replaced by artificial humans, we can avoid a lot of meaningless suspicions and disputes, and even save countless lives in the end. This is a good thing.
This is the right thing to do. I believe you will choose to do the right thing, Mr. Bedivere."
"Yes, I understand. Anyway, let's go rescue people first." Bedivere hummed, turned around and left: "------Lawrence, let's go."
"Of course, boss." Lawrence followed behind Bedivere, and the two of them left the Brotherhood's base in rapid strides.
