Scales of Eternal Order

“You are responsible for what you say,” the commander of the Gnar fleet said solemnly, and by the way took over the token handed to him by the young Twin Peaks nobleman, “It’s like we join Before the fleet, I was told that.”

As a force directly under the emperor’s jurisdiction, every member of the Gnar fleet was required to swear to keep the fleet’s secrets. It is precisely because of this that the fleet developed silently for decades, but few people in the empire knew of such a force.

“You can check my tokens,” he glanced at the small vase in the hands of the commander, and replied calmly in a serious tone: “The information inside can prove my identity and my The target of the action.”

A camel elemental shaman walked out of the shadow behind Commander Gnar, and took the token after saluting with his hands on his chest. One of his palms turned into a rock and crushed the vase, revealing the inscribed words on its inner wall:

“Proud, son of Osa Twin Peaks, camel man twenty-eight pillars Direct descendants of the national race. He was ordered by Caesar to accept the teachings of the warlord Geersang and lurking beside him. At the right moment, he has the right to clear the hidden dangers of rebellion by himself. 54,55-58,59.”

” 54,55-58,59″

After reading this information, it is mutually corroborated with Ao Ren’s previous self-report, and a smile appeared on the commander’s face.

“Thanks for your hard work, and suffered such a serious injury,” he walked to the young camel’s side and stretched out his hands for a handshake, and the other person naturally held it wisely, “farewell… “

Being startled by the strange words, the young Twin Peaks aristocrat still reacted slowly, and his hands were firmly grasped by the fleet commander.

The camel shaman turned into a rocky palm, and when the stone chips were gone, it flashed with electric light and crackled.

He put his five fingers together, as if cutting butter with a hot knife, and leaned into the chest of Proud Shuangfeng, directly pulling out the hot heart of the young Shuangfeng nobleman.

“54, 55-58, 59-the code means-clear, hidden danger.” It seems to be out of the last bit of mercy to the descendants of the Shuangfeng nobles, the commander is proud. At the last moment before death, explain to him.

Of course, this is only the last mercy.

After completing the work of “removing hidden dangers”, the camel man element shaman summoned a group of flames and transformed the residence of the proud double peak and the mutant floater settlement into The ashes.

“My lord,” a captain of the Gnar Fleet Marine Corps ran over, “This area has been searched through the net, but the total number of people reported by the teams does not match the number you provided before, at least There is one third gap.”

The commander made a decisive decision and ordered: “Call the elemental shaman to disperse the dense fog, and don’t let the priest land for the time being,” he thought, “Gelsan warlord might still He is not dead. In addition to being an elemental shaman, he is also a camel god priest. It’s best to confirm first.”

“I will take someone to confirm,” the camel shaman hidden in the shadow actively asks— —According to the intelligence brought by Proud Shuangfeng, even if Geersang has already fallen down, and the polar bear’s “thunderbolt roar” is still there — indeed only he leads the team to ensure that there is nothing wrong, “If necessary, I will Let that rebellious’die’ again.”

Nodded, it was a tacit understanding of the camel shaman’s words, and the fleet commander immediately allocated manpower for it: two teams of fully armed marines, and others Five elemental shamans.

After finishing the work here, he left with the rest.

In addition to cleaning up the island, the commander’s order also included recovery of some things.

Under the combined efforts of the elemental shamans to cast spells, the dense fog covering the entire island gradually receded. The corpses of the mutant floating rafts with long gills have been collected, dragged into the buildings, and splashed with fire oil to clean them up.

There is a salty and slightly bloody smell in the air, plus the black smoke from burning buildings, the two add up to give everyone a layer of mood. dirt.

Even if I had just been intoxicated by the thrill of killing, when the tragedy of massacre was revealed, the trained Gnar Fleet camel warriors felt a kind of unspeakable depression.

After all, they are not the demons of the lower realm-no one is a born executioner, and the tragic sight in front of them makes every camel feel a little bit empathetic.

A low-rise building stands in the smoke and dust. Although it is located in the center of the entire mutant floater settlement and is faintly complimented by other buildings, it does not have any conspicuousness in itself.

The outer wall is made of wood and mud wrapped in mud, and palm leaves are laid in layers as the roof. The gate of this building is quite distinctive. Not only the dead corners are covered with metal, but also dozens of bronze nails are inlaid on the gate as decorative objects.

“Open the door,” the commander of the Gnar fleet uttered a long piece of text—different from the familiar language of the camel, but to show his wishes—the password was activated, and the spell was added. The wooden door opened, “After entering, bring back…the stolen treasure. Remember, everything is under my command.”

Behind the wooden door, or in this hut, there is a hidden treasure The entrance to the crypt and a long staircase.

Led by the commander, a total of thirty camel warriors entered the squad one after another.

The steps are a bit steep and slippery, making it difficult to pick up the steps. But the height of the passage is enough. At least the height of a dromedary can walk smoothly with a slight head down.

Every time they go down a flight of stairs, the commander will order people to light the whale oil lamp in the niche of the passage, so they can walk in the dark.

After about a tenth of an hourglass, these camels finally stepped on the leveled ground.

The commander rubbed his hand on the ground, took a torch, and pierced it into the hole reserved in advance.

With a loud sound, a line of fire spread from the commander’s location to all around until it ignited the lamps placed on the surrounding walls and the dome, and this underground great hall instantly lit up.

Blocks of blue bricks are paved to form the floor. The center of the great hall is made of pine to form a round table, and a lead box is placed on the table.

The “Skull of Minerva” was placed in the lead box at this moment.

It is no different from the camel people and the polar bear people. The ancient Human Kingdom of the island world also gave birth to various ancestral spirits—primordial gods because of ancestor worship.

After the cataclysm, all the kingdoms of mankind were wiped out, and the race inheritance was also close to extinction. Those powerful and weak primordial gods, like their followers, fell into sleep one after another and then died.

But gods are gods after all. Even if they don’t even have a weak divine force, they will not leave a trace like a mortal after death. For example, this god named “Minerva”, after his death, his head remained.

“Don’t think about it,” the commander of the Gnar Fleet reminded him. If it wasn’t for Gersan’s special status, several camel priests should have accompanied him at this time. “This… this The Rare Item is very dangerous. It’s best for you to mute the prayers of the camel god in your heart at all times.”

Minerva was once a god who held wisdom and power of thought, and the head he left behind has long been crystallized. And lost the sense of autonomy. But even so, the remaining divine ability can still change the surrounding reality.

In fact, after this Rare Item was acquired by an emperor of the empire, it was studied jointly by elemental shamans and priests of the camel people for many years, and now its only remaining function has been basically determined— —

“Minerva’s Skull” can read the thoughts of mortal things, and then use divine ability to drive a certain sense of “pray art”, but it can only deal with the creature itself Have an effect.

Those floating rafts with gills are its products. Because they are drifting on the sea all year round, “the ability to breathe freely in the sea” is a kind of ability that rafters hope to acquire from the perspective of survival.

With a little guidance on this need, the thought becomes strong enough that the “Skull of Minerva” can receive it.

This is where the body mutation of the floating raft takes place. Through selective reproduction, this trait change can be stably inherited.

Of course, the “Skull of Minerva” cannot be used indefinitely. The divine ability contained in it can be used once less. And it’s similar to the “pray technique”. If you don’t plan carefully, the more persistent your thoughts are, the more unacceptable the results will be.

When experimenting with this Rare Item function, some elemental shamans thought of “strengthening their own elemental spirit” as the input of “Minerva’s skull”, but his elemental spirit It was directly replaced by a sultan of earth giants on the inner elemental plane.

Feeling offended, the earth giant spirit noble directly cast spell to turn the camel man shaman into a diamond statue.

In the years when the camels were experimenting with the function of “Minerva’s Skull”, similar situations occurred more than once.

So later they gave up letting the camel man as the test subject, and switched to other species for experimentation, and the raft man with mutant parotid glands was the product of subsequent experiments.

The task of recycling this Rare Item was originally performed by a devout priest. However, the commander has brought enough manpower-mixed thoughts will make the “Skull of Minerva” difficult Receiving, it will not be suddenly excited. At the same time, this Rare Item is contained in a special lead box, which can also play a role in insulation.

“Be careful,” the commander of the Gnar fleet reminded himself, he moved the torch near the lead box, and repeatedly read the “precautions” engraved on it, so as not to make any mistakes. ” Handle with care, don’t cast spells in the vicinity, don’t open the lid…”

Just when he wanted to put his hands on the clasps on both sides of the lead box, the great hall of the crypt was passed on. The coming “pu pass” fell to the ground. The commander turned his head abruptly, but found that all the soldiers he had brought had collapsed on the cold floor.

Hearing the slight footsteps behind his ears, he immediately pulled out the iron sword from his waist, turned his body sideways and swung the sword backward. Then–

The fleet commander found that he was keeping a rollover and was held in midair by a force.

“What is this?” After finishing all this, Ques, while studying his “spoils of war”, asked with remaining calm and composed while handling pressing affairs: “This box is hidden What treasure is there?”

The young Blue Dragon picked up his finger, and the lid of the lead box was opened in an instant, and a rippling golden light shot out of it suddenly, submerged in the body of Ques, who was “dangling” his eyes. Among.
