baby?

Gao Wen was slightly stunned, then turned his head and saw the half-elf lady jumping around not far away with excitement, holding a shiny thing in her hand, revealing a spirit of seeking credit from beginning to end.

Although this guy always looks like he is greedy for money and takes advantage of it, he still jumped out and reported it as soon as he discovered it.

Gao Wen waved to greet the half-elves lady and looked at the other party with curiosity: "What did you find?"

"Look," Amber happily handed the thing in her hand to Gao Wen, "a ring!"

It was a silver-white ring with a simple shape and a little magical fluctuations. It was obviously a magical creation. The moment he saw this ring, Gao Wen's eyes froze.

After a strong sense of familiarity, he finally remembered where he had seen something similar.

This is the ring of the Mithril Treasure House! It is a ring of communication distributed to senior customers of the Mithril Treasure House and used to contact the agent!

"This should be the token of the Misilan Treasure House?" Amber had also seen Gao Wen's Misilan Ring. This half-elf was as sharp as a dragon to any shiny precious metal, so she had long seen it, "I remember you have one too."

"It is indeed a token of the Misilan Treasure House..." Gao Wen murmured to himself, "Which dragon fell? Is even the Dragon Clan a customer of the Misilan Treasure House?"

"This... I'm afraid there are still some discussions," Amber stuck out her tongue, and then she took out something from behind, "because I found more than this ring..."

What amber took out was an exquisite metal box the size of a palm.

This metal box was obviously locked, but now its lid has been thrown open, and the lock is in a twisted and deformed state. Inside the box is a neat box of mitral rings, stuffed one by one in the black grooves...

This time, it was finally Gao Wen's turn to be stunned.

"This box is all the Misilian Rings?" Amber looked at Gao Wen's expression change, "It can be said that it is a customer of the Misilian Treasure House, and a box of rings with him..."

Gao Wen's expression became serious: "The dragon either robbed the Mitsunian Treasure House, or... it was a member of the Mitsunian Treasure House who might be responsible for keeping the member certificate."

This is a very simple and easy-to-understand principle. If a person carries a room door key with him, he is an ordinary person. If he carries several room keys with him, he may be a big shot. If he carries half a pound of keys with him... Then he is either a key fitter or a dormitory manager...

If this box of Misilian Ring was really left by that dragon, the possibility behind it would be very intriguing.

Of course, Gao Wen could not rule out that a dragon robbed the Misilan Treasure House and snatched a box of communicators, but his intuition told him that the more likely explanation for this matter was that the dragon clan was related to the Misilan Treasure House.

When this possibility appeared, Gao Wen suddenly felt that many mysterious things in the Mitsunian Treasure House explained their strength, their secrets, and their powers that lasted on the continent for thousands of years, and were not even affected by the demon tide, suddenly became understandable, because this organization was not created by "mortals" at all, and behind this organization, there is the shadow of the dragon clan.

But this brings up more questions: why did the dragon clan, which is extremely mysterious and never publicly appear, build such a "commercial organization"? What is their purpose of operating on the mainland? Is the Misilan Treasure House really just a "treasure house"? Are there more forces similar to the Misilan Treasure House, controlled or established by hidden races on this continent?

Gao Wen's thoughts suddenly flew away far away, but soon he forced back these random things.

Now I just found a box of Misilan rings, and these "tokens" happened to appear where a dragon had been active. There were no sufficient clues at all. Even if these rings were really left by the dragon, even if the dragon was really a member of the Misilan Treasure House, there were more than one possible explanation behind this. What if the wealthy Misilan Treasure House happened to have a dragon employee?

It was too early to rashly determine that "the dragon is the actual controller of the Misilan Treasure House" when there were insufficient clues, but since there were certain clues, Gao Wen would like to connect the two equally mysterious forces, the Dragon Clan and the Misilan Treasure House. If more clues can be found about them, he will continue to investigate this matter.

After putting away the Misilan rings, Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly planned to contact the senior agent named "Melita Pernia" in the future, perhaps... can find some information from her.

He raised his head and looked around the surroundings: the steel rangers were on guard nearby, while Saldrin led the two soldiers to collect material samples from the bottom of the pit and painted the claw marks left by the dragon.

In addition, there are no more valuable clues in this impact crater, and it is already very late now, and continuing to stay in the Black Forest will bring more uncertain risks.

It is not the time to launch a large-scale operation in dangerous areas covered by the Black Forest.

Thinking of this, Govin shouted to Saldrin: "After collecting the samples, we are ready to go back."

"yes!"

When the team returned to the cave of the Shadow Experimental Field, it was already completely dark.

A large number of portable magic crystal lighting devices are set inside and outside the cave cracks. Man-made civilized lights illuminate this dark place for the first time in hundreds of years. Building materials urgently transferred from Cecil City are constantly being sent here, and various engineering machinery and more engineering personnel are also sent.

When Gowen returned to the cave, the Byron Knight was leading the soldiers to guard the temporary defense line near the crack, while a middle-aged man who looked quite strong, wearing heavy industrial clothes and a bearded face was directing the workers to clean up the gravel near the crack, as if preparing for subsequent construction.

Gao Wen recognized the middle-aged man who was once Cecil's stonemason named Gordon. He received special commendations for his outstanding performance during the first Cecil defense battle. Now, this stonemason is one of the heads of the construction department of Cecil City.

"Mr. Gordon," Gao Wen came to the construction director, "How is the progress?"

Gordon, who was born as a stonemason and now one of the officials of the Government Affairs Department, gave a hurried salute: "Lord! We have cleared the open space outside the cave. At this time tomorrow, my brothers and I will be able to build a two-meter-high wall."

"Very good," Gao Wen nodded, "Thank you all tonight. We must build the fortifications as soon as possible. This is not a safe place outside."

Gordon looked at the dark black forest in the distance with a little nervous and fearful look. Although he was tall and strong, in front of the famous Black Forest, any ordinary person would face the test of courage. Fortunately, General Byron and the brave Cecil Corps guarded here, and the lord's personal encouragement, the reliable magic cannon and the legendary hero duke cannon can make people braver than anything else.

He nodded firmly: "Please ensure that the task is completed!!"

Gao Wen nodded and walked towards the depths of the cave with Amber and Saldrin. At the temporary resting place in the center of the cave, he saw Hedy who had been waiting here.

Hetty had obviously been worried for a long time. After seeing Gao Wen, she immediately came up with her unconcealed peace of mind and relaxation: "Is it so glad to see you have found out that you are safe and sound?"

"I did find something amazing, but I'd better go back and talk about it in detail," Gao Wen waved his hand. "I just saw that the construction team Gordon had participated in the partial construction work of the Northern Rock Fortress, right?"

"Yes, he is an expert in this field. He led the team to strengthen the North Gate of the Rock Fortress and participated in part of the reconstruction project of Rock Fortress. After the winter, these projects were taken over by the local construction team of Rock City," Hetty said, looking at Gao Wen curiously, "Ancestor, what are your arrangements?"

"The passage between Cecil and the southern foot of the Dark Mountains has been opened," Gao Wen nodded slightly, "I want to keep this passage and set up a portal here."

Hetty blinked and looked up at the high-power magic crystal lamp used by this huge cave construction site illuminated the once dim shadow experimental site. A large number of engineering equipment, building materials, and weapons and devices were piled up on rock platforms in the cave. In fact, when she saw her ancestors mobilizing so much materials from Cecil City, she vaguely guessed what her ancestors thought.

"We cannot always hide in the north of the dark mountains. Facing the threat of the demon tide, the civilization border will retreat if it does not advance," said Gao Wen. "The Ansu people retreated once, and we directly lost one-third of the southern land. The southern barriers of the kingdom were also broken, so we must never be content with the status quo."

He looked at the huge crack in the south of the cave, and the dark night came into his eyes.

"It is too difficult to cross the dark mountains from the ridge. Disobedience to the fortress is our natural passage. Outside this rift, it leads directly to a gentle slope on the southern foot of the Dark Mountains. Although it is inconvenient to defend, it is easy to advance outward. We can directly enter the Black Forest from here. I plan to transform this place into a "South Gate Fortress" based on the giant cave of the Shadow Experimental Field. The artificial fortress armed with rail cannons, rainbow cannons and steel cement is no worse than the original rock walls. By then we will have a gateway to the south."

Hetty understood Gao Wen's intentions. After a brief thought, she nodded slowly: "Yes, I'll start to make arrangements now."

Gao Wen didn't say anything anymore. He looked at the dizzy and dark sky in the south of the cave, and his eyes slowly became firm.

The impact crater that appeared in the black forest, the mysterious alien objects, the giant dragon with unknown destinations, the dark side behind the Misilan Treasure House, and the sudden rift at the end of the fortress...

The world seems to be getting more and more unstable, and as the ruler of this land, he must seize every available value in this unstable world.

Used properly, dangerous gaps can also become portals for marching south.

This is the 1st month of Ansu 737.

On the first day of this spring, the construction of the Cecil South Gate Fortress began. The descendants of the Gondor Empire set foot on the edge of the wasteland for the first time after seven hundred years of peace.

On this day, the brief ceasefire between the Ansu Kingdom Army and the Eastern Legion came to an end, and the atmosphere once again became tense on the front line of the confrontation in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain.

It was also on this day, a huge pit was filled with smoke and dust on the edge of a forest somewhere southwest of the Dark Mountains, far away from Cecil.

A young woman wearing a lilac gauze dress, a lilac veil on her face, and a mysterious and elegant atmosphere was sitting on the edge of a large pit filled with smoke and dust, quietly thinking about her "human" life that lasted tens of thousands of years.
