Ember Gun

  Chapter 599 Anonymous

   A soft knock on the door sounded, and after a pause for a few seconds, Anakin pushed open the door and walked into the slightly dim room.

  The only light source here is daylight through the dome glass, which falls vertically in the center of the hall, illuminating a large area, but there are still many places in the dark, and you can vaguely see the figures standing in it.

   "Your Majesty, the power change is over, and the contract is here."

  Anakin picked up the suitcase and said to Queen Victoria not far away.

Because of the particularity of Queen Victoria’s status, her status among the country builders is also very different. It can be said that she is the commander of the entire Inverig country builder, and also manages the alternation of these country builders for other country builders. provide assistance.

  The queen was sitting in a wheelchair and nodded to Anakin. After receiving a response, Anakin picked up the suitcase and walked to the deeper part of the Platinum Palace to seal the blood oath contract forever.

  The sound of footsteps gradually faded away and stepped into the depths that no one knew. After it was completely silent, another old voice sounded in the dimness.

   "A very nice young man, but he doesn't look very kind, like a cold poisonous snake."

   "Their family has been hiding in the shadows, serving Victoria, he is worthy of trust." The Queen responded.

"That's good."

The old man walked out of the shadows. At this time, he had taken off his armor and was wearing a loose robe with moiré embroidered on it. The white flowered beard was hanging down. The killing spirit was no longer there, and he had a slight smile on his face. Meaning, as if he was really a kind old man.

If Anakin were here, he would be shocked in a cold sweat, not because of the identity of the old man, but because he did not notice the existence of the old man at all. When Anakin was talking with the queen, the old man stood in the shadows on the side. , He didn't try to hide his identity, just standing there made Anakin ignore his existence.

"how did you do it?"

  "What do you mean?" Zuo Zhen laughed, looking extremely kind.

   "Anakin doesn't seem to find you, he will not neglect."

  The Queen curiously said.

As the monarch of Inervig, the master of the Victorian family, and a member of the country builders, she has a great influence in the entire Western world, but for the mysterious East, she is like many people. I don't know.

  The old man named Zuozhen in front of her, the queen saw him in her childhood, but when she thinks back carefully, she can't remember anything.

  It's as if the memory has been deliberately erased.

"In order to ensure the safety of Jiu Xia, to prevent information hazards from forgetting to grow into, those who can leave Jiu Xia are people like me," Zuo Zhen explained to the queen, "We have undergone special training and strengthening, Similar to the knights who cleansed institutions, we also have similar characteristics."

   "For example, if you walk in a crowd, you will involuntarily ignore those passers-by, don't you? Go and recall, can you still remember the look of the passers-by you saw?"

  "Will you passively turn yourself into a'passerby'?"

  The queen finds it very interesting. Because of the security of Nine Summers, they will always erase all kinds of information about themselves, just like the mysterious scavenger troops, this information is somewhat novel to the queen.

   "Almost, if we don't take the initiative to expose, few people will notice us in the crowd. We are weak and easy to be forgotten." Zuo Zhen continued.

   "Anonymous."

  The queen raised her head and stared at Zuo Zhen, "That's how it is called, right?"

   "Well, anonymous," Zuo Zhen nodded, "Usually everyone calls us that."

   "Then what's your real name?"

   "No, we don't have any names, and even the department has no specific name. Everyone just knows that there is such a group of people, but there is no more detailed information... In fact, we don't know many things."

   "Then you can't make mistakes when you act?"

   "No, we will keep the creed in mind, and the creed will bind us firmly, even if we don't know what the situation is."

   At this point, Zuo Zhen is very confident, with a treacherous and mysterious smile. Just like his name, the queen has no way of knowing the real thoughts in his mind.

   "From the perspective of your abilities, your antimemetic technology is developing very rapidly." The queen exclaimed.

   "Of course, this is why we are here. The time has come."

  Zuo Zhen smiled, and then he seemed to remember something suddenly, he waved his hand, and the other person walked out of the shadows.

   "By the way, let me introduce this. This is my nephew, Zuo Tang. If I die, he will take over my position and continue to perform my duties."

  The queen looked over. She knew Zuo Zhen was coming, but she never thought that there was a person behind him.

  The man walked out of the shadows, saluted and smiled at the queen. He looked very similar to Zuo Zhen, as if Zuo Zhen was like him when he was young.

  Different from Zuozhen, who was in a leisurely suit, Zuo Tang was fully armed, wearing exotic armor, and carrying weapons around his waist. They arrived in secret in the Platinum Palace and directly contacted the Queen.

   "Do you think you will die here?" the queen asked.

   "I just feel a little uneasy. No one can never fail. I am like this, not to mention that the crisis we face this time is far beyond all the previous ones."

Although he said so, Zuo Zhen didn't seem to panic. Zuo Tang walked into the shadows after showing up. His duty was to assist and protect Zuo Zhen. He didn't need to participate in these conversations too much. .

   "But at my age, it doesn't matter if I die. If I really die, I hope my bones can be brought back to Jiu Xia." Zuo Zhen said calmly.

   "The fallen leaves return to their roots?"

  The queen remembered that she had read about Jiuxia in the book, and she mentioned it casually.

   "Yes, the fallen leaves return to their roots."

  Zuo Zhen was very pleased that the queen knew about Nine Summers, he continued.

  "Before coming, I felt that we might not get along very well. After all, these are completely different countries, so for these, I deliberately learned Western language."

  "We have been paying attention to the knowledge of Jiu Xia, which is what you brought decades ago. It took us such a long time to get to know you."

   chatting between the two.

   "According to the schedule, you will land at the Horn of Raging Waves and arrive at Old Dunling a few days later. At that time, we will have an official meeting at the Platinum Palace instead of the current situation."

  The queen looked towards Zuozhen. His sudden visit made the queen a little uneasy.

Most human fears stem from the unknown, and for the Queen, Jiu Xia is an unknown that is almost equivalent to a monster. If it were not for the identity of the country builder to contact them, the Queen would really not feel that she would be so peaceful with Zuozhen. conversation.

  Zuozhen pushed up the queen’s wheelchair, took her forward in this huge maze-like platinum palace, and answered casually.

  "Be careful. If you can, I hope that besides these insiders, no more people will know my whereabouts. That's why there is such a sudden visit today." Zuo Zhen laughed.

  "Do you follow this rule when you go this time?"

   "Almost, after doing what we should do, we will use antimemetics to modify and erase our tracks as much as possible, and remove our information until we reach a safe interval."

  The two walked on the long corridor, not far behind them, followed by the silent Zuo Tang, in the empty platinum palace, without shadows, his figure appeared very abrupt.

   "How is the preparation for Jiu Xia?"

   "Get ready."

  Zuozhen continued to speak, stopping from time to time, staring at this glorious but indifferent palace, raising his head to look at the iron whale rolling between the clouds.

"We stayed in the Horn of Raging Waves for several months. These months are not holidays. We have been waiting for Mr. Lorenzo Holmos to return. During this period, we also learned about the current situation in the Western world. Prepare for the next event."

What few people know is that not long after Lorenzo went to the Sea of ​​Silence, Jiuxia’s first fleet arrived at the Horn of Raging Waves. Zuozhen was one of them. During this time, he stayed in the secret place. In the military port, waiting for the arrival of the nine summer fleet and the return of Lorenzo.

  "I have finished reading the information about Jihai. Thanks to these great seekers, they not only fill in the history of the West, but also fill in the gaps in our knowledge."

  Zuozhen admired.

  "In the beginning, Nine Summers was constructed by a group of secret guards who left the shelter. They carried a lot of antimemetic technology, trying to rebuild this terrible technology at the edge of the influence of the unspeakable.

   also benefited from our borders, coupled with the protection of antimemetic, Jiuxia's internal understanding of the truth of the world is much deeper than that of the West. "

   "So this information of Jihai was in your expectation?"

"Accurately speaking, it is part of it. I didn't expect the enemy to be so terrible. In the nine summers, scholars have always believed that erosion is a phenomenon, like a storm and thunder... But this information completely negates all of this, and I have sent personnel to bring this information. Back to Jiu Xia."

   "A new round of restart is imminent, and this time we still have terrible enemies, can you deal with these?" the queen asked.

  Zuo Zhen shook his head, and he smiled bitterly.

   "I'm afraid we can't do it."

   "But... this time we join forces, there may be a glimmer of hope.

  All the builders, all the forces, and our destiny are tied together, turning us into a huge community. "

  Zuozhen stopped talking. He looked at the sky outside the window. The lead-grey clouds covered the sky above the old Dunling. It seemed to be accumulating a rainstorm, waiting to be completely poured and baptizing the city.

   "The emperor understands the crisis this time, so we are not the only ones who walked out of the Forgotten Great Wall this time."

  Zuo Zhen lowered his head and smiled at the queen.

   "There is also a legion."

  ……

  After months of blockade, Horn of Raging Waves Naval Harbor finally lifted the blockade. It is not the end of the matter, but the people who were blocked finally left here.

One after another armed trains were released. They ran wildly on the tracks, braving heavy steam, and galloping across the deserted plains. There were more trains preparing to leave behind, but there was only one train that did not respond at all. There were not many people on guard, except for a few soldiers who had eliminated the organs, only the conductors were left, and a few strange strangers.

  Rod is also one of the members. He joined this weird journey as an interpreter. After many years, his Nine-Xia language has finally come to the point of use, but he is still not very happy when it comes to actual operation.

  "This is a bit out of compliance. Only these soldiers guard...and these strangers?"

  The quarrel sounded in the front. The train driver is a stubborn old guy. He has always been responsible for the secret transportation of the Horn of Raging Waves. Because of his stubbornness, or over-responsibility, there have been no accidents in his transportation operations so far.

  But this time is different. This time the train has very few guards. Once attacked, these soldiers have no ability to resist. He doesn't know what the cargo is being transported, but he is very unhappy with such defensive measures.

  "Do you want me to communicate?"

  The man in the seat asked, and Luo Luo looked over. It was a young stranger, to be precise, he was from Nine Summers, wearing armor and carrying a weapon.

  Lord was a little disappointed that he has a standard Western language, and no one knows how much preparation these Jiu Xia people did when they left Jiu Xia.

   "No, they will solve it."

   Rod responded.

  The man stopped talking, looked out the window, and remained silent, making Rohde very uncomfortable.

  These guys who claim to be anonymous seem to be like this, expressionless and silent. If you can't hear their breathing, you doubt whether there will be a cold machine under their skin.

  But fortunately, not all anonymous names are like this, otherwise Rod would almost feel that all Jiuxia people are like this, and the kingdom of fantasy in his mind collapsed.

   "Don't worry, he has always been like this, in fact this guy is quite enthusiastic."

   A cheerful voice sounded, her Western language is not very standard, and other people sound a little strenuous, just like you are talking and eating.

  Rod can understand, so his main translation duties are used to take charge of this guy.

  It was a girl who looked a lot like this indifferent man. The two seemed to be brothers and sisters. She also wore armor, but she was obviously much lighter than the man, with a weird gun on the side.

  "Are you our translator?" The girl said again in Jiuxia.

  Luo Luo was stunned, and then replied in Jiu Xia language.

"Yes."

  The girl laughed. She was very active. In the unknown name, she was like a live fish jumping into a dead fish pond. Judging from the look of a man, the girl's overactiveness brought him a lot of trouble.

  "This is Shao Liangye, and I am Shao Liangxi."

   Shao Liangxi introduced her and the silent man on the side. Shao Liangye's face was not very good, and he looked helpless.

  Rod was a little confused, and dryly said his name, "Rod Ivan"

   "Hello, Rod!"

  Sao Liangxi said happily, the other Jiuxia people seemed to come here to die, only she seemed to be traveling on public funds.

  This was slightly excessive enthusiasm, which made Rod a little uncomfortable, and he answered stiffly.

   "Hello, Liang Xi."

   Also at this time, the carriage shook slightly, and the loud siren sounded. It seemed that the stubborn driver was finally moved, and the armed train slowly started and rushed along the railroad tracks to Old Dunling.

   Dust flew between the steel, and the shaking spread to the cargo box behind. In the gloom, one steel body after another was silent. It was a bit like the armor of original sin, but it was a little different from the armor of original sin.

  They don’t have any exaggerated shapes. They look a little plain on the outside, but under plainness, they can bring severe pressure to people, just like towering rocks.

  The metal swayed slightly, and stern music was sung, and such a player was being pulled towards the old Dunling by the armed trains.

  This is why these armed trains don’t need soldiers, they transport a legion.

  The Legion of Steel.
