The world enters the age of myth

Early the next morning, a group of carefully selected expedition members and a rotating group of soldiers, totaling more than two hundred people, boarded a transport ship and headed for the central island where the Bollier Alliance was located.

A group of pioneers have already established an embassy on the central island. In almost a month, a group of people should be replaced and work will be done on a rotational basis.

"I wonder how their investigation is going..." Lu Yiming looked at the endless horizon and always had a not-so-good premonition.

The only risk now is the various civilizations near the central island.

The transport ship was very fast, and it took nearly 20 hours to reach its destination.

The flow of people on the central island seems to be much lower than a month ago. At first glance, it seems to have dropped by more than 30%.

The control at the Bollier Alliance dock was very lax. They just checked in casually and roughly checked the goods before everyone officially disembarked.

After Lu Yiming met an acquaintance, the two parties exchanged passwords and passed the safety device test. Both parties breathed a sigh of relief.

"Colonel Dai, how have you been during this time? Nothing went wrong." Lu Yiming asked: "Why do I feel that the atmosphere here... is a bit strange... the popularity is not very strong."

Dai Lun replied: "Yes, the flow of people has dropped by at least 30%. I don't know what so many civilizations are doing."

"There are also some people who have returned directly to their own islands and have stopped opening trading venues here... They may have sensed some special risks."

"Overall, life has been quite peaceful, and there have been no conflicts with other civilizations. The embassy has been built, and there have been a few small transactions. We also bought a lot of supernatural items from other civilizations."

It has been a full month since Dai Lun was sent here to perform a diplomatic mission because of his precognitive ability.

If something really happens, you can take an anti-gravity plane and escape as soon as possible.

"But we pretend to be poor here, and there is nothing easy to trade." Lu Yiming laughed twice.

He looked at the surrounding facilities of the embassy. Well, it was just a simple house made of iron sheets and soundproof boards. Apart from the fast construction speed, it had no other advantages.

The entire embassy has only three floors in total: the second floor is the residential area, where everyone lives a more difficult life. The soldiers' rooms are for 8 people, which means the ambassador and senior officers have a very small single room. There is also a kitchen, a dining room, and a bathroom shared by many people on the second floor.

The third floor houses a special anti-gravity aircraft.

This aircraft is not large in size, only 15 meters in length, and has no combat function. The internal volume is quite spacious. If it is forced, it can stuff all the people in the embassy into it for emergency evacuation.

As for the first floor, it is naturally a place to interact with people. There are no special goodies, just some simple technological products: light bulbs, alcohol, fuel, food, etc. The most valuable thing is firearms and ammunition, but the quantity is not very large. For ancient civilizations, firearms and ammunition were the most attractive.

The Great Jin Empire, the ally of the Yunhai, had little interest in foreign trade, and they had few resources for trade. The emperor of the Great Jin Empire only wanted to industrialize, and had few trading chips on hand, so he simply transferred the territory that belonged to them to It was sold to the Sea of ​​Clouds at a suitable price, otherwise this embassy would have been opened in half.

"The only two trades were between the ancient civilizations here who purchased some firearms. They valued armed forces very much. One civilization revealed a small amount of information to us. They believed that a huge crisis would occur in the future." Dai. Lun closed the door to the room and his expression gradually became serious.

"But the source of the crisis... is not yet clear."

Maybe it was because the survey results these days were not so good that Dai Lun showed such an expression.

Lu Yiming sighed and said: "Of course we know that a crisis may break out here. The value of this kind of information is too low... How did you transport that plane up?"

"Using Liu Xuwei's special space ability, he disassembled the aircraft, put it in, and then reassembled it on the third floor. The structure of this aircraft is not complicated. Don't worry, it will be absolutely reliable at critical moments."

Liu Xuwei stood nearby and laughed twice.

Dai Lun lowered his voice and looked around for a while: "It's very strange, let me tell you something... Bolier civilization doesn't care at all... Or maybe they have something very important to do, so they can't see each other for three days. people."

"In the trading market, tax evasion is very serious, but they don't care at all. All the rules are in name only."

"I noticed it." Lu Yiming said: "There are not many people on the pier, which is a bit abnormal."

Dai Lun said softly: "What exactly the Bolier civilization is doing is difficult for us to detect."

"But certain civilizations are doing something small. According to our investigation, it may be human trafficking... The flow of people here has decreased, and major changes have occurred within the civilization."

Liu Xuwei also said: "Just yesterday afternoon, there was a slight earthquake under our feet. According to the inspection of the instruments, it was probably caused by a violent explosion!"

Lu Yiming swallowed, was silent for a long time, and asked: "Explosion... what are they doing? Is it a nuclear bomb?"

"Maybe... no. No trace of nuclear radiation has been detected. According to calculations, the blast yield is about 10,000 tons, which is also a relatively large bomb. We are trying to find ways to investigate the projection capabilities of Bolier civilization. If the other party can launch missiles, It may threaten the Unkai."

This ghost place is like a powder keg. It usually looks harmonious, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent.

More than twenty civilizations are crowded together, and various forces are complicated. Some civilizations worship evil gods, and the host Bolir civilization does not know what it is doing. Conflicts may break out at any time.

Fortunately, they picked a remote island...

Even if a conflict breaks out, it will be difficult to affect it for a while.

"There is one more thing to report..." Dai Lun thought for a while and then said: "In just one month, two more strange civilizations came! They are both ancient civilizations that worshiped evil gods. Their mental state and Normal people are different.”

"These two strange civilizations caused some trouble in the trading market. We took advantage of this opportunity to identify several potential allies."

"Which ones?"

Dai Lun held out a few fingers: "There are three civilizations that worship ancestors and do not sacrifice to evil gods. They are all civilizations in the Eastern cultural circle, and their reliability is over 95%. In addition, there are at least 10 civilizations that worship evil gods. Including the Bolir civilization occupying the central island.”

"The geographical location of this world is absolutely special, otherwise it would be impossible for so many civilizations to come here."

"Yeah..." Lu Yiming nodded and was silent for a long time. He was analyzing the seriousness of the matter.

This place is closer to the idealistic world, but there is a layer of protection from the silent realm that keeps the physical rules intact.

He scratched his head and tried to calm down.

Dai Lun added: "The base camp of Bolier Civilization is in the center of the island. It is heavily guarded. We have done a simple investigation."

"I always have a vague sense of uneasiness, but I can only predict for three hours. So, I often predict after the little devil feels something bad."

The little devil also came to the embassy, ​​but it... became fatter and fatter. Under superior living conditions, this little devil full of ambitions completely degenerated.

No matter what, its perception is still sensitive and it can sense danger earlier than humans.

"It had two premonitions of danger, but... no crisis broke out. Another very strange thing."

Lu Yiming was silent for a while, "We brought many outstanding scouts last time. Didn't the related investigation succeed?"

Dai Lun shook his head: "Only half the success... Affected by the Silent Realm, aerial vehicles are easy to lose signals and are easily discovered by other civilizations. As for superpowers such as invisibility, they have also been greatly weakened, so the investigation operation It wasn’t particularly smooth.”

Dai Lun called Comrade Gondor, who was mainly responsible for the investigation. His main ability is "color changing", which means he can become invisible. Coupled with his second ability, super perception, he is the most sharp scout of the Unkai.

When Gondor saw Lu Yiming, he saluted. Gondor reported with a serious face: "Other civilizations are on their own islands, which are far away from here. It is difficult for us to detect what they are doing. So we will investigate The focus is on the Bolir civilization on the central island.”

"The core area of ​​Bolier civilization is the residential area and military area. They have developed the island for three years. Most of the civilians already have their own houses... When I sneaked in, I saw some strange churches. , the flow of people in the church was very large, and many people were worshiping in the church."

"Their mental state... is not very normal." Gondor paused and said, "It's as if they are all drunk. Each of them walks a little erratically, and shouts something loudly from time to time."

"A small number of people have wounds on their arms."

"Is there a wound?" Lu Yiming asked.

"Maybe... some blood was released." Gondor swallowed, "I smell a faint smell of blood."

The small room suddenly fell into silence, and Lu Yiming couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, you're really fucking crazy!"

"I observed that there are many individuals with strong sentience in the Bollier civilization... Because I was afraid of being discovered, I only glanced at them from a distance, so I temporarily stayed away from these mental patients and went to other areas."

"Has the report been written?"

"It's written."

Lu Yiming looked at the information on hand and fell into deep thought.
