Your war hammer is too fake

Nekaf is strong, really strong. As the most famous herald of the entire Tomb Kings faction, Nekaf's martial arts and courage are as unquestionable as his loyalty to Settra; however, Suseb is even stronger. This tough guy who once fought a troll with his bare hands in his lifetime rushed over to strangle the latter's cervical vertebrae in the duel with Nekaf when his weapon was knocked down, and then ripped Nekaf's skull off.

After the duel, Settra kept his promise and withdrew his troops, and said that as long as Atum changed his mind, the treatment could be negotiated.

"It's okay, it's okay... It's nice not to have a mother-in-law to worry about me." Atum sighed after checking his false memories.

……

Note 1: The ancestors of the Arabs, the skeleton archers in the Tomb Kings' army are this group of people.

Note 2: The Nehekhara people used a special system of second-born inheritance, where the eldest son had to be dedicated to the gods, that is, become a priest, and then the second son would succeed to the throne.

Note 3: The title of "Priest King" was invented by the Great Emperor, just like Brother Zheng invented the title of "Emperor".

Chapter 357: Reunion

The Swift frigate, carrying two Lords of the Holy Scripture, sailed over the dry and decaying Land of Death.

After leaving the mountains on the edge of the southern world, the Swift slowly lowered its flight altitude to about 1500 meters: this altitude was enough to have a clear view of the withered yellow land below, while avoiding some unnecessary troubles. The warship flew towards its destination at cruising speed, and the lookout, wearing a straw hat and holding a monocular, searched for landmarks that could be used for navigation.

An Jiyue released the barrier as soon as the warship entered the Land of Death, blocking out the yellow sand as fine as smoke. This should have been the job of the shield generator. The shield designed by the Jiedushi has a special filtering mode that can block out sand, hail and other annoying things. Unfortunately, this important subsystem, like the radar, is still being difficult to solve. Strictly speaking, the first batch of Swift-class frigates are all semi-finished products.

No one on the ship had ever been to Ka-Sabai, so the first step of this unplanned journey was to find the river. Most of the land of the Nehekhara people was desert, with bits of civilization scattered along the banks of the river and in oases of all sizes. As one of the eight most important city-states, the Bronze City was built along the river. In addition to the endless farmland near the city-state, there were also large tracts of flat grassland further south for grazing horses, cattle and sheep.

The search operation continued until the evening before it yielded results. With the alarm bell rang by the lookout, the crew of the gun crew quickly took their positions, with the projectile guns and rocket racks pointing south. The fully armed soldiers stood behind the shield of the Dwarf, holding the handle of the steam revolver with both hands, and the index finger of their right hand was already on the trigger guard.

A moment later, the alarm was lifted. Amid the sharp whistling sound of the manual pressure relief of the micro boiler, a group of carrion vultures flew past the port side of the battleship with their rotten wings flapping in the afterglow of the setting sun. They flew in an arc around the battleship's rear hemisphere, formed two horizontal rows on the starboard side of the battleship, and shook their wings.

This was sent by Atum to lead the way. The Priest King sent all his carrion vultures upstream along the river, straight to the junction of the sand sea and the mountains, and then dispersed in all directions. While the Swift was searching for the river that flowed to the Bronze City, the only two flying units of the Tomb Kings faction were also searching for the traces of the guests who came from afar.

As an undead beast that was not very smart when alive, the intelligence of the Carrion Vultures is almost non-existent. It is impossible for them to complete such a complex task as finding people and leading the way by themselves; fortunately, as a system unit, they can naturally recognize the identities of other system units, especially the Lord of the Holy Scripture.

After the two sides completed the reunion in the air, the carrion vulture flew in front to lead the way, while the Swift maintained a cruising speed and followed behind. The setting sun slowly fell into the western horizon. On the lookout post on the main mast of the Swift, the lookout, who had been rotated several times, connected the mana circuit, turned on the searchlight driven by the Taixu Yuanli and pointed the beam of light at the largest carrion vulture. Since An Jiyue did not want to put a generator on the ship, although An's Zhendan introduced the dwarf's electric light technology, it did not apply it to most flying ships. All lighting fixtures on the Kingfisher and Swift are magic machines, powered by the Hun Tian furnace.

Among all the ships equipped by the Shenzhou Fleet, only the Grasshopper class used electric lights.

When it was completely dark, the kitchen on the battleship prepared dinner. Since there was no shortage of water (thanks to the nectar box) and the ship had a small cold storage (also a magical machine), the food standard of the Aurora Air Force was not as high as the per capita treatment of pilots, but it basically started from the third-class kitchen.

As the leaders of their respective factions, An Jiyue and Morgan naturally did not need to go out to get food. Nishikori Shigeru and a female forest captain quickly brought two servings of steaming hot food for their boss: hand-held meat, braised chicken legs, stir-fried radish, pickled shepherd's purse, and winter melon soup, the standard four dishes and one soup, in addition to a thawed frozen persimmon.

"Will you take Atum with you to the underground?" Morgan first took a bite of the frozen persimmon, feeling the rich sweetness slowly dissolving in his mouth: "The kitchen knife barbarian is at a great disadvantage when facing the psychic..."

"I think I need to emphasize again that this meeting may not lead to a fight," An Jiyue said as she scooped up a spoonful of chive sauce and shook it on the pork. "Secondly, Atum's mission is to back me up and stand up to Namtaru when she tries to get close to me. That's all. If a fight really breaks out, I'll be the main force against her."

Jie Du used a spoon to spread the dark green sauce evenly on the surface of the mutton, then picked up the mutton with bones and put it into his mouth. "Hmm... As expected, the mutton smell can't be suppressed after being frozen," the girl commented from a cook's perspective, "In the future, when cooking mutton in the kitchen, it's better to use the oven. The quality of the meat is too high for hand-held meat."

As she spoke, An Jiyue first looked at the small pottery jar used to hold the chive sauce, and then turned her eyes away from the extremely salty thing. As a southerner, she couldn't quite understand the northerners' preference for this thing.

Jin Zhifu, who was also eating, silently put down his plate and left. A moment later, the deputy captain came back with a bottle of vinegar. The governor took the porcelain bottle, poured a little vinegar on the mutton, and then stuffed the rest of the mutton into his mouth, making his cheeks bulge like a squirrel.

"Or you can braise it. If the mutton is not slaughtered that day, you can only use heavy ingredients." Morgan also poured some vinegar on the meat in his hand. "Come to think of it, I actually have an idea. Since you have made thorough preparations, why not just..."

King Changqing stretched out his right hand and made a fake chopping gesture with his fingers like a knife.

"My lower limit is very low, but it is not zero," the Jiedushi shook his head and swallowed the mutton in his mouth with some effort. "Morality is not a burden on human beings. Morality is an anchor for emotions and the boundary of human nature."

Hearing this, Morgan looked at him sideways and said, "Are you sure you have such a thing as 'morals'?"

"I'm going to hit you," An Jiyue rolled her eyes at Morgan, "I'm just lacking in morals, but I'm not a moral vacuum, okay!"

"It's just a joke," the Weaver shrugged. "But if the worst happens and we have a falling out with those bugs, um, do you need me to order the mobilization of troops now? Will the dwarves in Highland Hold be enough?"

"There are 2 dwarves in Plateau Castle now. If they are mobilized to the maximum, half of them can be sent on an expedition. Considering the military strength of the Faceless Men, do you think the Nest Clan can withstand the full force of dwarves? This force is enough to attack Eight Peaks Mountain (Note )!" At this point, An Jiyue imitated Morgan and took a sip of frozen persimmon: "Unless an Old Saint portal suddenly appears in the underground world and gets out of control, the dwarf troops in Plateau Castle will be enough."

After a pause, the Jiedushi continued, "But I do need your help."

……

The flying battleship came from east to west and arrived at the ancient city-state that had stood the test of time.

It was already late at night, and the braziers on all the main roads of Ka-Sabai were lit, outlining the majestic and slightly weathered figure of the Bronze City. In the stone square in the city center, which was used for military parades before going to war and various grand ceremonies, tall skeletons wearing bronze armor and holding spears and large shields stood with their backs to the square, forming a human wall to isolate the skeleton civilians who gathered here and pointed and criticized.

If you ignore the horrific appearance of these undead, anyone who witnesses this scene will find that their behavior is no different from that of living people.

Under the gaze of thousands of skeletons, the storm engines on both sides of the stern of the Swift pushed the ship forward and slowly arrived above the square. Under the captain's order, the navigator controlled the storm engines to stop the backward jet of air, and then changed it to the front for several short jets, causing the flying ship, which had slowed to the extreme, to completely stop and hover in the air hundreds of meters above the ground.

The navigator observed the relative position between the ship and the ground through the landing mirror, and then the captain himself confirmed it. The anti-gravity engine began to reduce its output power, and the 500-ton ship fell vertically and smoothly. At the same time, several five-meter-long iron cables were hung from the bottom of the ship. When the weight with a talisman engraved on the end of the iron cable touched the ground, the navigator, who had been staring at the instrument, immediately pulled a red joystick to restore the energy supplied to the anti-gravity engine to the baseline value.

The frigate did not stop immediately, but sank several meters further due to inertia, and finally hovered about two meters above the ground. The iron chain that had been released earlier was retracted, and two crew members walked to the front deck and cooperated to throw down the rope ladder.

Atum led his personal champion Susayb and climbed onto the ship with the help of a rope ladder. When the priest king stood on the deck, the governor who was waiting there looked at his shriveled, bandaged mummy body, hesitated for a moment, and still did not reach out his hand.

"There's no time to lose," the girl said immediately to avoid making the atmosphere awkward, "let's get going."

Note 1: In order to avoid accidents or accidental firing, the boiler of the Cotton Gun and other steam guns/cannons must be turned off and the air pressure in the firing chamber must be the same as that in the outside world when not in combat. If the above situation occurs, the operator will open a special valve to manually release the pressure.

Note 2: In a tofu block of the Dwarven military book, it is mentioned that after Belegar received reinforcements led by Thorgrim himself, he took the main hall of Eight Peaks after a hard battle. Belegar's troops were only a few hundred, at most a thousand, and the quality of this force was definitely not as good as that of the Plateau Fort, which could use Longbeard as a filler.

Answer to reader "1659590858":

This book was originally just a group of friends' brainstorming work about traveling to Warhammer, and it was a self-entertainment work. This version is the so-called "old version". At the suggestion of the editor, this book was greatly modified before uploading. In addition to using some settings from the old version, it was basically rewritten. In the old version, Atum had just traveled through time and space when he picked up Yotsuya Miko (the protagonist of "The Visible Girl"), who also traveled through time, and took her in. This setting has been abolished in the new version.

Chapter 358: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety Preparation

Estalia, Margarita.

Like the neighboring Tyrell, Estalia is also a loose geographical concept - the difference is that Tyrell has been unified, more than once, and is still in a unified state, while Estalia has never unified itself. In history, the Nehekhara people conquered here when they were still alive, the legendary Remas (Note 1) Empire conquered here, and Sultan Jafar's Arabi army also conquered here, but the Estalia themselves have never done it.

Generally speaking, the northern part of the peninsula is mountainous, with a relatively humid climate and dense forests, while the south has large fertile plains, so most of the population of Estalia is concentrated in the south. Except for a few periods of rule by foreign races, city-state kingdoms have always been the mainstream here. However, compared with Tyrell, which is on par with the nine duchies/republics, although Estalia has many small kingdoms, there are only two city-states that are really worth mentioning: Bilbarri in the north and Margarita in the south.

Bilbarri and Margarita are the two most powerful city-states in Estalia, and the other city-states are at least one level lower than these two. The two cities have a long history of confrontation and competition, and even the invasion of the Arabs across the sea could not unite them. However, the situation has changed in the past year. After Duke Wilta brazenly launched a coup, led a group of helpers who came out of nowhere to overthrow the king and crowned himself, the relationship between the two sides inexplicably began to ease, and there was even a rumor that His Majesty Wilta was seeking to marry a princess of Bilbarri.

Naturally, His Majesty Wilta's rule was not stable. The Church of Mirmidia never approved of Wilta's coup to seize power, and there were rumors among the people that his Majesty Wilta's "helpers" would use some unheard-of mysterious witchcraft. The Inquisition (Note 2) suspected that these people might be wizards serving the power of darkness, or something worse. For this reason, they conducted several months of investigation, trying to find evidence to prove that Wilta was colluding with heretics, but their actions were not very successful...

Well, "not very successful" might be an understatement. The truth is, the Inquisition knows very little about its opponent, except for the ambiguous word "Paradise". The battle between the two sides in the shadows is a one-sided one: the Inquisitors are just a group of trained mortals, and they are first-class elites by mortal standards, while their opponents are truly extraordinary.

What's worse is that the Inquisitors' equipment, tactics and training are all specifically designed to target Necromancers and Vampires, and secondarily Chaos Cultists. Holy objects used to resist magic are useless in the face of psychic power, and holy water and scriptures used to harm dark creatures obviously cannot work on pure humans. The Inquisition knows nothing about psychic power, but the battle priests of Paradis know them inside and out. After only a few months of fighting between the two sides, the Inquisition's Inquisitors were almost wiped out.

In the end, William felt that the Church of Myrmidia should not be overly provoked at this time, which allowed the Inquisition to escape by chance. In any case, without solid evidence, the Church of Myrmidia could not publicly accuse Wilta. Although the church also had armed forces, as believers of the goddess of war, the priests unanimously believed that in the current situation, mobilizing the army was the stupidest choice, both politically and militarily.

The two sides entered a state of confrontation. For the Palatis Order, the expedition to Sardenberg had been in preparation, and William did not want any complications to arise.

Although William did his best to ensure the smooth running of the plan, the expedition still inevitably encountered twists and turns. When William's friend Kevin brought back news about the mysterious elven kingdom hidden in the southern forest, after it spread within the cult, Oberstein, who had been silent for a long time, took the opportunity to attack and accused his son of lacking consideration in his plan.

The plan of giving up acquiring a piece of territory in the Old World and instead expedition to the South, thousands of kilometers away, was recognized by most people in the Order for one reason: Sadenberg was far away from the Old World, but not too far away, and it was just a small colonial city that could be easily taken down by the Order's military might.

Although there is a group of ribs in the desert to the east who bear grudges as much as dwarves, as long as you don't provoke them, they generally won't take the initiative to do anything to Sadenburg. Apart from that, there is no force worth mentioning near Sadenburg. As long as you successfully take this place and remember not to provoke the Tomb Kings, Palatis will have a vast sea for fish to leap and a sky for birds to fly!

...It was supposed to be like this, but the appearance of Kaldorei disrupted William's plan. Kevin's unexpected discoveries in the Southland were more and more shocking. Not only did the legendary Nest tribe still exist somewhere in the Southland, but even the Faceless Ones might not have perished. What made William even more upset was that Kevin's psychic trauma could be perfectly cured, which was enough to prove that there were psychics among the so-called Kaldorei. These suddenly appearing Southland elves were not like the residents of the Old World who knew nothing about psychic powers.

Oberstein, unwilling to let his son seize power, seized on this point and made a big fuss. Psychic power is Paradis's greatest reliance and the foundation of the cult's foothold in this world. Now you tell me that this thing is not unique to the cult?

the most important is--

"How did he know? I have never told this information to anyone except you." Kevin, who looked exhausted, held a tricorn hat and frowned, "Could it be that there are spies around you... No, all your servants are Nieto."

"Is it important?" William asked. In front of his only friend, the Chaos Warlock rarely let down his guard, and his brows were full of deep fatigue: "Don't worry about my troubles for now, tell me about your work. How is the progress?"

"I failed," the priest said succinctly. "I have imagined many possible ways that the mission could fail, but I never thought of the reason for my failure. It turned out that my mission target was always away from home, which resulted in my failure every time. I originally wanted to try again, but I heard about what happened in the cult, so I rushed back."

Since volunteering to take on the task of making tentative contact with An Jiuyue (see Chapter 319), Kevin first ran to Ivy Territory and stayed there for nearly two months. Using psychic power, gold and skilled agent skills, he successfully forged a fake identity that could withstand field investigation by intelligence agencies. He created a young businessman who would take any job as long as the money was in place.

After making sure that his disguise was perfect enough, Kevin teamed up with a group of small merchants to organize a caravan, preparing to go to Sanhe to purchase some Zhendan products to bring back to the empire for sale. Without mentioning the various trivial matters during the process, the caravan passed through the territory of a certain Asur wizard and came to Xuanshui, the capital of Sanhe Prefecture. Kevin was first amazed at the magical power of the Zhendan people, who could actually teleport a huge city that was several times larger than Altdorf across half a world to the old world. Then he hurried to work, doing what a businessman should do while trying to find out information without leaving a trace.

The first thing was a success, the second thing was a failure. Kevin was impressed by the integrity and efficiency of the Aurora people. They did not ask for bribes. The soldiers on duty at the city gate not only did not ask for bribes, but also provided necessary assistance to visitors. The extra funds originally prepared for the upper and lower levels were finally turned into payment for goods. After Kevin returned to Ivy Territory and settled the accounts, the priest found that this trip had earned back all the funds spent on the operation...

As for choosing an opportunity to contact the young moon witch who was suspected to be the Moon Queen, An Jiyue had already gone out when Kevin went there, so he didn't meet her. After that, Kevin made a second and third attempt, but each time An Jiyue was not at home.

After three trips, Kevin didn't get anything done, but made a lot of money from the business he used to cover up his identity. Just when Kevin was about to make a fourth trip, some bad news came from the cult. Kevin, who was worried that his friend would get into trouble, had to put aside his thriving import and export business and hurried back to Margarita.

After listening to his friend's complaints, William pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh. "I can probably guess where my dear father got the news from," the Chaos Warlock said, "You came back just in time. I am now in a very passive position within the cult. Almost everyone is taking the opportunity to oppose and accuse me. Even Wilta has some inappropriate thoughts. This situation has affected the expedition plan, so I must settle these troubles before the monsoon arrives."

"Tell me," Kevin began, "What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to do something, Kevin. Something only you can do..."

The author says:

Author's words: Reply to reader "Reader1659590858":

Of course, Atum is a warrior. Under normal circumstances, the Tomb Kings are pure warriors, and Settra, who has learned some magic, is a special case. As for the second question, there are many reasons. The most fundamental reason is that I am tired of the homogenized technology tree and want to make a more fantasy technology tree. This is also why Anshi Zhendan has things like mechanical horses.

Chapter 359: Warning (Part 1)

After taking Atum and his followers, the Swift first flew to Plateau Castle.

As the birthplace of the dwarves and the first fortress in the history of the Mountain Kingdom, Plateau Fort has no surface part. It is a purely underground city - but this does not mean that the Emberstone Clan has no base on the surface. After all, although the dwarves have underground farms, most of the crops and livestock needed by the fortress still rely on agricultural clans living on the surface. In addition to the small mines distributed outside the fortress, there are actually dozens of small bases scattered around Plateau Fort, managed by one or several families.

When the legendary engineer Grim Brockson was commissioned by Barrel Magichammer to design the Hammer-class frigate, the construction of the supporting air force base [Sky Shield Castle] also began simultaneously. Because Barrel was accumulating points and preparing to save enough money for the secondary anchor point and the city heart to open a branch mine at one time, he did not use the accelerated construction function, so Sky Shield Castle is still under urgent construction and most of its functions are not available. Of course, it is no problem to just let a frigate take off and land.

Skyshield Castle is located on the top of a mountain near Plateau Castle. The planned area of ​​the first phase of the project is nearly four times that of Ironforge Valley. The dwarves hollowed out the rock mountain and placed everything needed to maintain the normal operation of a sky fleet inside it. They also built a tunnel directly to Plateau Castle and laid a railway inside the mountain to transport personnel and supplies.

Compared with pure military bases like Ironforge Valley, the special thing about Skyshield Castle is that it is both an air force base and a shipyard. For Barrel, combining the two is a last resort: the entire city of Plateau Castle is completely underground. If the shipyard is placed in Plateau Castle, the flying warship cannot be brought to the surface through conventional means after it is built, unless An Jiyue or Xiao Yiyue come to cast the underground escape spell and take the entire ship out together...

"Yeah, didn't you say there was a Hammer-class ship being built in Plateau Castle?" Atum asked, "Will you and Lao Xiao carry it out after it's finished?"

"It's just a technology verification ship, the kind with only basic functions," An Jiyue replied, "It was modified and tested while being built, and even the weapon system was made up of equal-weight models. When the Hammer-class design is finalized, the power system of this ship will be dismantled, and a museum will be built on the spot to display it."

The priest king nodded his skinny (literally) head thoughtfully. Compared with the low-level undead who were only bones, Atum, who was "fully dressed" by the Funeral Cult before being buried, was not pure bones. He still had his own flesh and skin, although it had dried up to a thin layer, tightly attached to the bones.

After arriving at Plateau Castle, the Swift carried out a replenishment and the crew carried out a routine maintenance on the entire warship before setting off again to send Morgan to Tal Tur and back. As for An Jiyue and Atum, they were escorted by a team of soldiers sent by Prince Ragnar Barilson, Baril's cheap son who was acting as the head of state in his father's absence, and they headed down to the deep underground world.

The scheduled meeting place was placed at the Reflection Fortress. This large training/education center that once belonged to the Faceless Ones now has gathered hundreds of cavemen who are naturally immune to [education], both men and women. They swore allegiance to the An family in exchange for the protection of the court. For both parties, this is the most suitable place for negotiations. An Jiyue does not want to go too deep into the territory of the Nest Clan, and the Nest Clan thinks the same way.

The day before the scheduled meeting, the two Lords of the Holy Scripture arrived at the Reflection Fortress. This is the edge of the underground world, and for the surface races, it is the end of the known world. The strange underground ecosystem made Atum, who came here for the first time, stare at it.

An Jiyue did not go directly to the fortress, but first went to the caveman village near the fortress and burned a stick of incense to Kagu. Although they spent a short time together, the old caveman still left a deep impression on the Jiedushi.

After burning incense, An Jiyue and Atum rested for a night in the Reflection Fortress. The fortress has always maintained a force of 5,000 dwarf troops, and the fortress itself has been completely renovated by the dwarves. The Faceless Man-style buildings are now basically replaced by strong and simple dwarven-style fortifications, which means that the houses in the fortress still retain some traces of the past.

The commander of the fortress garrison was Morgrim Elvendoom, an appointment he had sought from the Council of the Ancestors. When the dwarf-quake coalition burned the trees, the Reforgers did not participate in the revenge operation against the wood elves on a large scale, after all, they had more important work to do. However, Morgrim did get the opportunity to settle the grudges with those sick souls in person.

"According to what I heard, Mogrim personally killed the Asrai who shot an arrow at him from behind," An Jiyue whispered to Atum who was sitting next to her. "Later, in the decisive battle in front of the Oak of Ages, he fought against the legendary Lord of Green Chaos, one of Lilith's lovers, and Lord of the Eternal Forest, Alaros, and killed him in battle."

The priest king sat on his bench, looking straight ahead: "How strong is that Dr. Bean Sprout Wow?"

"Very strong," the governor answered without hesitation, "In the original End of Time plot, Alaros even went to the warp and met a silver-armored warrior who looked like a 40K cool guy. It can be regarded as an official easter egg."

As they were talking, a team appeared at a cave entrance in the distance. A team of rangers from Plateau Castle took the initiative to greet them. It seemed that the two sides exchanged some words, and then the rangers led the visitors from afar over.

The upper body was no different from that of a human female, with no signs of any alien features. The lower body was like the leader of a giant spider's nest. He ignored the black muzzles of the cannons on the fortress in the distance, and surrounded by his subordinates, he moved his eight spider legs very naturally and came to An Jiuyue.

This was the first time An Jiyue had met Namtaru, and she half-heartedly hoped that it would not be the last. Facing the Lord's aggressive scrutiny, the Jiedushi said, "Our time is precious, and I personally hate all unnecessary formalities, so let's get straight to the point. Xiao Fan."

The deputy captain of the Jinyiwei standing behind An Jiyue walked forward with a transparent "glass ball" in both hands. Just as Jin Zhishi was about to walk in front of Namtaru, Nadel moved over expressionlessly to block her way, then stretched out her hand and the "glass ball" was pulled into the hands of the Nest Queen by telekinesis.

The deputy commander's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. She glanced at Nadel and then withdrew expressionlessly.

"The Faceless Man's memory matrix?" Namtaru glanced at the "glass ball": "Where did you get it from?"

"I made a copy myself. Except that it cannot be mass-produced yet, its performance is no different from the genuine product," An Jiuyue replied. "What I am about to tell you is too inefficient to communicate purely through language... and it is not very safe."

Namtaru did not comment on this. Just as she was about to reach out to take the memory matrix, Nadel, who was holding the transparent ball in both hands, suddenly retracted her hands. Facing the master's inquiring eyes, the queen said, "Please forgive me for my presumptuous behavior, master."

As she spoke, Nadel was about to probe her psychic energy into the memory matrix to check if there were any traps in it, when An Jiyue suddenly waved her hand, and the ball immediately broke away from the queen's hand and spun in the air.

"This is not something you can know. Some knowledge is harmful just by its existence. If your soul had not suffered such a serious trauma, you could try to read the contents, but you can't do that now," An Jiyue said leisurely in the suddenly tense atmosphere, "Namtaru, you can only read it yourself."

As he spoke, Jiedu used telekinesis to send the memory matrix to the Nest Clan Overlord.

"...Master!!" Nadel couldn't help but shout.

Namtaru thought for a moment. "Come to me, Queen of the Surface People, you are alone," the Lord said. "If you want me to do what you want, then you must do what I want."

"Okay." An Jiyue used her extrasensory perception to sense the mind engine hidden in the Reflection Fortress, feeling every rhythm of the powerful spiritual energy on this ingenious machine, and agreed to Namtaru's request without hesitation.
