There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Thinking of the conversation she had with her former subordinate not long ago, Saria couldn't help but sigh.

She always thought that Kristen was high and mighty and never cared about what was under her feet, but now it seems that Kristen is not the only one who is "high and mighty".

"Tsk... Trouble."

After hearing what Saria said, Talina felt something was wrong.

Saria's advantage is the connections and power she had accumulated in Rhine Life, but now it seems that under Ferdinand's influence, all of these have been completely eliminated.

The reason why Saria's name is still remembered today is entirely because she is one of the founders of Rhine, and because of her relationship with Christen.

Otherwise, he would have been removed from the list long ago.

Talina didn't think Ferdinand would be so kind.

The only person who can check Ferdinand is the governor, Christen, but here comes the problem...

Aren’t they here just to find Christen?

So... there is no solution to this problem.

"Okay, Ms. Saria, we can talk about the issue of power transition later. Now, I want you to take a look at this."

Interrupting the conversation between the two, the Tin Man pulled up the photos he had taken inside the Trydon factory not long ago.

Zooming in and bringing out the details, the Tin Man placed the photo in front of Saria and asked the same question he had asked Talina before.

"What's the catch?"

"Neither the shape nor the mechanical structure of the falling object can indicate its purpose, but it does not seem to be a device used on ground facilities."

Same question, same answer, but when it comes out of Saria's mouth it sounds much more "professional". Perhaps this is the power of knowledge.

"It's the same one as yesterday, it fell from the sky."

The Tin Man spoke and explained the relationship between this object and them.

"It's too far away to discern specific details, but what we can confirm is that this object does bear traces of Rhine life."

Saria knew Kristen, just as Kristen knew her, and Saria could recognize even the creations she had once handled.

"To be precise, there is no doubt that Christen was involved."

As if she felt her tone was too affirmative, Saria changed her words to a more euphemistic one.

The Tin Man looked at Saria, his eyes looking straight into hers, and he could even see his reflection in her eyes.

It was not until Saria felt uncomfortable being looked at and began to frown that Xiren looked away and uttered an unfamiliar word.

"Project Horizon Arc."

"What?"*2

Talina and Saria asked in unison, looking at the Tin Man in confusion.

Jeston frowned, realizing that something was wrong, and ran out the door while covering his ears.

And closed the door at the same time.

.........

"You...are here again?"

In the pitch-black environment, an old voice suddenly rang out.

The sound loops back and forth, creating an echo-like effect.

The blond Pero stopped and stood still.

She didn't answer, she just nodded.

She knew that the One who could "see" could do so.

"Tell me, what is it this time?"

The old voice sounded again, along with a dim light.

Although the light is weak, it is enough for illumination.

Suddenly, an extremely wide space appeared before Christen's eyes, filled with densely packed objects...

coffin?

Or rather...life support.

Here, there is a huge "tomb"!

"Energy. The energy available today is not enough to support it to cross the defense line, let alone reach the 'ocean'. I am here for this purpose."

Without beating around the bush, Kristen stated her needs.

They have known each other for a long time, so there is no awkwardness or anything like that, so they wouldn't have such low-level emotions.

"Energy..."

Old voices came from all directions, and He was silent for a long time.

Kristen waited quietly, her eyes closed, taking in her surroundings.

But the surroundings were dead silent, and I could feel nothing except loneliness. This kind of loneliness... was enough to drive people crazy!

Maybe... this is why I can become a "lucky person"?

Christen recalled the scene when she first came here.

Scared?

Maybe, but more of it is curiosity.

Curious about all the unknown, curious about this person's existence.

God? Behemoth? Or...human?

I don’t know how much time has passed, and in the darkness, everything seems so long.

Suddenly, a long sigh spread throughout this huge destination.

A dark red light appeared, illuminating everything around.

"I can gather the energy... there are still some left, enough to support you in breaking through the barriers and achieving the Ocean Spirit's dream of sailing. But this will take time. They are scattered throughout the equipment, and collecting them... will take time."

After giving his answer, "Red Light" fell silent again.

Kristen nodded and turned to leave.

Hearing the sound of departing footsteps, "Red Light" also began its own "steps" to collect energy.

His long life allowed Him to see clearly.

People...are gone, and these energies are just sitting there anyway, so why not give them to this girl and help her realize her dream?

As for using these energy sources to maintain one's own existence?

He had thought about it, but it was meaningless.

He will eventually die, and his energy will eventually run out. Instead of wasting it on himself, he might as well give it to her.

Even if...

Set off some fireworks.

Volume 9: Chapter 27: Project Horizon Arc

"Over the years, the military... more precisely, the Ministry of National Defense, has been constantly exploring the country's military capabilities."

"Overall, the pace is quite steady, one step at a time. In the president's view, this is a good thing, a healthy development, so he is happy to see it happen."

"However, the changing international situation in recent years, especially the emergence of the Victoria Shard, has changed some things."

"By the way, you should be aware of the Shard incident, right?"

The Tin Man's eyes were fixed on Talina.

Although his question was directed at everyone present, Talina knew that he was asking her.

As it happens, she does know some information.

"A Scourge locator, or...a weapon designed to artificially create Scourges."

Recalling the message Tallulah sent her, Talina quickly pieced together the information about the Shard.

"It can generate a scourge cloud over any corner of Terra and then carry out a precise strike, like... a deterrent."

"Yes, that's right. With a terrifying super weapon like that, distance will no longer be a problem. All ground defenses will be useless, and the smoke and dust from the storm could land on our pillows at any time."

It was like a sword of Damocles hanging over her head, ready to fall and deal a fatal blow to her enemies at any time. There was a time when Tallulah was troubled by this.

After all, this thing is simply not something that can be countered by human power. It's not even a treasure against cities, it's definitely a treasure against countries!

No matter how powerful you are, no matter where you hide, as long as you show your head and expose your position, a cloud of Originium will form on your head in the next second, bringing about a natural disaster.

Are you good at fighting?

Then go fight the natural disaster.

Army? City?

Terra vigorously develops mobile city technology in order to avoid natural disasters. Under the mighty power of nature, personal force is nothing.

"Yes, a deterrent to everyone on the Terra continent."

The Tin Man confirmed Talinna's statement, and then added: "And the people who control it are a bunch of sakas, a bunch of lunatics."

Although the Tin Man does not have an "insider" like Tallulah who can be on the battlefield in person, the information he has is only more, not less, than Talina.

The war in Londinium was no secret to him.

The Sarkaz planned to gather the Grand Duke's troops together and then launch a targeted bombing, creating terrain that would be favorable to the Sarkaz while weakening the Grand Duke's power, thus winning the war.

But unfortunately, the emergence of Breath of Kings greatly weakened the harm caused by natural disasters, forcing both sides to stand on the same level.

Without the advantage, the Sarkaz naturally lost the war.

But... they still exited Londinium safely.

What does it rely on?

Isn’t it based on the Shard?

Yes, I really can't beat you, but I have the "mushroom" in my hand. The worst that can happen is that we will die together, and it will be over for everyone, and then others will take advantage of it.

Besides, you are such a big city, Victoria. How many people can the Breath of Kings protect?

If I can't take down *Londinium, can't I take down your other cities?

Therefore, Regent Tracy returned to Kazdel safely.

This war served as a wake-up call to other countries in Terra.

Times...are progressing.

The era of fighting in front of each other is over. If you are still just wielding guns and sticks, you will be the only one to be eliminated.

Among them, Colombia is the worst hit.

As the technological forefront of Terra, they have always been prepared for danger.

"So, Kristen came into their sight at this time?"

Listening to the explanations of Talina and the Tin Man, Saria also understood what the so-called Horizon Arc Project was.

"Yes, this Horizon Arc Project is Christen's answer."

"The military has invested a lot of resources in this, and Rhine Life has also received more policy support."

“It also stands out from the crowd of tech companies in Tremont.”

After saying that, the Tin Man took off his watch and pulled out a...data cable?

After connecting the data cable to the computer, the Tin Man showed the "intelligence" above to Saria and Talina.

Insider information from the Melander Foundation.

"According to the information we have, building the Arclight One requires digging a complex energy well in Tremont and raising the focusing generator to the maximum altitude of the aircraft."

"This is a massive project, and the military has put almost all of their efforts into it. That giant thing that fell from the sky earlier must have been part of it."

Saria turned her eyes away from the information and looked at the photos taken by the Tin Man during the day.
