"You're doing a very good job," Su Changfeng was praising him at the other end of the communication terminal. "We will find a way to extradite that young man back to the Star Gate, but there may be some twists and turns in the empire. We sent A special operations team was formed to pick you up. By the way, you may also know the leader. I asked him to bring you some things - "
He looked at the young man in front of him with some emotion.
When attracting the other party to enter, many people held objections. It was he and Ambassador Liao who overcame all objections. But the other party obviously did not embarrass anyone. On the contrary, it can be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations. Whether it's the battle in the north or the trip to the empire.
Of course, Stargate sent him alone to perform missions in the Empire, but the other teams either had not made any progress yet, or they had not even had time to set off from Kaolin-Ithulian. And this side not only grasped the clues, but even directly caught the person in one fell swoop.
"The embassy is also full of praise for you." Su Changfeng said, "That witness is crucial to Stargate. Although we have been able to control the third division Super Competitive League after the battle in the north. Some people, but to publicly complete the charges and convict those hiding on the other side of the Star Gate, more powerful evidence is needed, and that young man is one of them."
"The other side of the star gate...is it on the earth?" Fang Plover asked.
Su Changfeng nodded.
"The focus of the operation has actually been on the Stargate side. It is necessary to investigate the attacks on the Stargate Port, as well as the cross-Stargate terrorist activities that have occurred on Earth in the past two years. It is necessary to investigate who is behind these people. And secretly convey benefits, but the identities of these people are a mystery, and most of them are not even in the country——"
Fang Plover seemed to understand.
At this time, there was a huge construction sound behind Su Changfeng. The sound even reached the end of the communication terminal, causing the screen to shake. Su Changfeng turned around and glanced behind him.
Fang Plover also looked at the environment at the other end curiously. The other party didn't look like he was in Stargate Port at the moment. The long and narrow passage was surrounded by solid granite, but the flashing dark red emergency lights and a long and narrow passage full of pipelines didn't look like he was in Aitaria either. .
"What are you...?"
"This is not Stargate Port," Su Changfeng looked like he hadn't slept for a long time. His face was unshaven and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. After noticing Fang Plover's expression, he shook his head and replied, "We are currently in a mine somewhere underground in Western Siberia, and the communication environment here is a bit poor..."
A mine somewhere underground in Western Siberia?
Fang Yu suddenly remembered the recent events that caused a stir in the community. It was said that a group of miners had disappeared in a certain area in Western Siberia. Those things were spread widely, as if someone had witnessed them with their own eyes. Although he didn't believe everything, he knew more or less.
But why did Su Changfeng and the others go to Western Siberia to investigate this matter?
What does this have to do with Stargate?
He knew that Su Changfeng was still among the Stargate Port security forces, otherwise there must be someone else who came to contact him at this moment. The Stargate Port Guard is subordinate to the Stargate Port, and other units on the other side of the Stargate are not qualified to overstep their authority.
Su Changfeng saw his expression and knew what he had guessed.
He thought for a moment and said: "Actually, it's time to tell you some things. After all, you may be entrusted with further investigation. You may have to prepare for some things in advance, such as the next Star Gate. It will be expanded further.”
"I know that." Fang Plover replied.
He is no longer the foolish boy who was not well informed at all and kept his head down and only knew how to move forward. Not to mention that there is a Miss Nightingale in the team who is always paying attention to what is happening in the community.
And he himself occasionally pays attention to official announcements.
But Su Changfeng shook his head, "The information released publicly is only a very small part. In short, the impact of this incident may be much greater than you think. I can't tell you the specific reasons yet. In short, you should be mentally prepared first." Be prepared, there may be changes to the Star Gate next.”
Changes to the Stargate?
In Fang Quan's memory, the Star Gate has never changed in any way since its appearance. But Su Changfeng would not joke about this kind of thing, not to mention that he was vaguely aware of some information. Currently, various countries are expanding the size of the Stargate Port's security forces.
He also recalled the reminders given to him by Captain Quirod and Miss Scarpet. Dawn Star seemed to have noticed something, but he never contacted them after that.
When Fang Yuan once again felt worried about the people of Dawn Star, Su Changfeng just mentioned this matter, "By the way," he said, "Not long ago, didn't you entrust us to help you investigate the matter about Dawn? What about the two captains and deputy captains of the Star? In fact, I have found out. One of them is Quelord, a male citizen of the Russian Federation, 37 years old; the other is Scarpe, a female former citizen of the United States of America, 29 years old, now Has been naturalized in the Russian Federation.”
"Miss Scape, Mr. Quelord!" Fang Plover suddenly heard this information, and even the matter about the Star Gate was forgotten. He couldn't help but ask, "Are they okay? The other members of the Dawn Star Are you okay?"
"Not sure," Su Changfeng replied, "but the investigation report said that these two people have been re-recruited by the second division. In fact, they have been transferred to the Russian Federation Stargate Port Special Operations Force. As for the others There’s no news right now, but it must be close.”
"What!?"
Fang Yu was taken aback, and was so shocked by the news that he lost his temper for a moment.
He didn't know much about the Federal Stargate Port Special Operations Force, but members of the Stargate Port Special Operations Force in the Third Division must at least be qualified as selectors. So this is a new recruitment method for the second division. What kind of recruitment method is it?
He couldn't help but ask: "What does it mean to re-recruit?"
"That's the literal meaning." Su Changfeng was not surprised by his surprise. "This is exactly what I want to tell you. The expansion of Stargate Port is not just about releasing more access permissions, but also about increasing the number of access points that have been lost." The reuse of selectors with Stargate qualifications. You may see many familiar people next, but don’t be too surprised yet.”
But how could it not be surprising?
"But how can a person who has lost his starlight," Fang Pliance asked in bewilderment, "can return to the star gate?"
"Do you still remember your origin?" Su Changfeng asked.
"Small...smuggling?"
Su Changfeng glared at him.
Fang Yu was so surprised that his thinking was a little short-circuited for a moment, and he stammered and changed his words: "No... they are tourists, but after putting a large number of tourists into the star gate, what benefits will this bring to the countries? And they have already lost Can people who have acquired Starlight still enter the Stargate through tourist channels?"
He still doesn't quite understand.
Su Changfeng nodded, "It was not possible in the past, but it might not be possible in the future. This is one of the changes in Star Gate. The two..." He hesitated and stopped, "The remaining part is currently It’s still under confidentiality regulations, so I can’t tell you for the time being. However, the expansion of the chosen ones is a trend and one of the next plans of various countries. It is also closely related to the Stargate’s B and C area expansion plans..."
"In short," Su Changfeng concluded, "Little Plover, you should be able to understand now that all countries have put all their efforts into the Stargate Project. It may profoundly change the future of mankind, but no one knows whether it is good or not. Bad. I tell you this because I want you to understand that everything we are doing on the other side of the star gate is meaningful."
"But why is it so radical all of a sudden..."
Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.
Over the past two centuries, humans have been steadily advancing the Stargate project. Since the first generation of pioneers, generations of chosen people have entered it, not only developing and expanding the ultra-sports industry, but also bringing prosperity to commercial sports.
What's more important is that humans have also obtained countless useful information from the stars. Technology has begun to advance by leaps and bounds a century ago. Human detectors can now easily reach the edge of the Kuiper Belt, and are only one step away from stepping out of the cradle.
Because of this, there was not much opposition to the Stargate Port's B and C expansion plans from the beginning. Humanity is also gradually deepening its contact with the world on the other side of the Stargate and completing the transformation of its own civilization.
Although over the years, cross-star gate terrorist activities and the frequent appearance of cultists on the earth have attracted some criticism for the star gate plan, popular protests that are secretly instigated by unknown persons are becoming increasingly common on the earth.
But is it really necessary for governments to directly advance their plans to this point?
That sounds like preparing for some kind of crisis.
Some kind of crisis——
Fang Yu's heart flashed, "The third evil star, are governments preparing to deal with the coming crisis?"
"You are getting smarter, little plover," Su Changfeng praised, "The third evil star may come at any time. The information held by the top leaders of various countries is much more in-depth than ordinary selections, and they have already expected this. And that has everything to do with what you might do next.”
“What am I going to do next?”
"Have you forgotten the third crystal tower?" Su Changfeng said, "The important witness who appeared in El Paxin has been arrested, but the third crystal tower that is related to the two crystal towers in the north is still there. The whereabouts are unknown. The other party attaches so much importance to this third crystal tower and would rather give up the plan in El Paxin to keep it. There must be some important plan behind it. And we actually have another thing about this crystal tower. I want to entrust you——"
"another thing?"
"The crystal tower of the Artisan Guild is built on the etheric veins. It is one of the greatest projects completed by the Aitalian people in the past millennium. Only by using countless crystal towers to make the etheric veins change from violent to orderly can we make it orderly." It is used by mortals docilely. And under the etheric current, it is actually the magical network that runs through all continents and above the sea of Kungami - or to put it another way, it is a symbol of the etheric sea."
"Since this matter is of vital importance to the alchemists, they are actually investigating the matter as quickly as possible. The craftsmen of Kaolin-Ishulian believe that the shadow man may have used the third crystal tower to connect to the update of the magic network. Deep, they hope you can follow this clue and investigate the shallow layer of the Aether Sea when you find the third crystal tower..."
Su Changfeng paused, "In addition, we also have a mission. If possible, you can check the Guy Index in various places in Xinta'an when you go to various parts of the empire. The reserves of Guy crystals in various air and land areas are greatly reduced. This You must have heard the rumors, and we want to confirm whether they are related to Gwanghae’s changes.”
The sea of light is about to go out.
Fang Plov suddenly remembered what the lizard people had told him. It's just that he didn't know much about the Sea of Light in Xinsas at that time. It's only now that he noticed a hint of its meaning. But will the Sea of Light really be extinguished? What is its connection with the Guy Crystals in various continents?
He looked at Su Changfeng, a little embarrassed. It's okay to investigate the third crystal tower. Anyway, he and the cultists now have an incompatible relationship, and they are just accepting it. But isn't it a little too early for him to investigate the shallow layers of the etheric sea and investigate the changes in the sea of light?
The Seven Seas Troupe is just a small adventure group.
Although he caught the military's target by coincidence, it was only because the other party knocked on the door. He happened to have the Holy Emblem of Amea and Marlan's Chosen, and he happened to know about the Silver Tower and the Scroll. Things about the Knights.
Su Changfeng had obviously thought of this at this moment, and couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much. I'm just telling you this information. I'm not asking you to do it. But you have always done it before. The performance was so miraculous that everyone couldn't help but have other expectations. Maybe you can create another miracle this time, I believe many people think so."
Fang Yu nodded.
His heart was still pounding, but it wasn't that he was nervous. On the one hand, he was surprised and happy to finally learn about Miss Scarpet and Captain Quirod, and to learn that the Dawn Star might return to Etalia soon.
On the other hand, I also learned so much shocking news.
The changes in Stargate Port, the plans of various governments, and the arrival of the third evil star. There were some things that Su Changfeng didn't say, but he could actually guess that since countries were so urgently expanding their Stargate plans, the arrival of the third evil star would certainly not be as simple as imagined.
Is the Third Bane Star really just affecting Aitaria?
Su Changfeng himself is also in the underground mining area of West Siberia at the moment. When will Stargate be responsible for investigating affairs on Earth, let alone a disappearance case that occurred in China?
In fact, this is not the first time. Over the past few years, strange phenomena have occurred frequently on the earth, and various rumors have been widely circulated in the community. Although most of them have been falsified, a wave of dissatisfaction has still been formed among the people. Small voice.
This is where the protest movements that were instigated came from.
Coupled with the words he had heard from the Shadow Man in the North, Fang Yu had a vague feeling that the arrival of the Third Disaster Star might greatly change everything at both ends of the Star Gate in the future.
Su Changfeng told him all this in advance. On the one hand, his activities in the empire seemed to have gained the trust of Stargate Port, and on the other hand, it seemed to give him a sense of urgency. Fang Plover indeed feels such a sense of urgency. Changes are coming, and the Seven Seas Brigade must find its future course before then.
Because he received too much and too complicated information at one time, he forgot his original purpose for a while, and stayed in front of the light screen for a long time.
However, Su Changfeng looked at him and asked proactively, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Fang Yu finally realized what he was doing, looked at the other person and asked, "I want to know the identity of that young man."
Su Changfeng has said so much, but that young man is the starting point of all this. The mastermind behind it is planning in the north, as well as the coordinates of the lost third crystal tower. Behind it are all the same as that young man. connect together.
To understand all this, he must at least know who the other party is and why the military attaches so much importance to it.
Unfortunately, at the arbitration tribunal that day, the young man chose not to say a word. In the realm of truth, the other party either speaks the truth, but also has the right to remain silent.
Although in such a situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that not saying a word is also an answer in itself. Colluding with cultists and launching a terrorist attack against neighboring countries in El Paxin would be undoubted evidence of guilt anywhere in Aitaria.
Therefore, with the permission of the Keeper and under the watchful eyes of the three gods, Ori's paladins captured the young man on the spot. However, the other party, under the supervision of the Ori Knights, also did not reveal any information. The only thing they had was this witness.
Of course, the patrol guard could not escape the blame. The director of the general administration was also arrested and imprisoned along with a large number of people. The Seven Mage families were also implicated, but they were slightly better off and were just being investigated by the temple.
After all, what was overturned was only the investigation results of the Ayinbrok incident, and the existence of Ash-Lynn's manuscript proved that the original rhetoric of the Seven Mage Family was reasonable, and the only people involved were those from the empire. Owl Eagle.
But for a person of Duke Hawke's status, he could completely evade the fact that he was just being confused. Although this was extremely detrimental to his reputation in the royal court, it was better than falling into the pit of colluding with a cult.
As long as that young man doesn't speak for a day, Fang Pliance will be unable to do anything to the Duke.
And the real key to this matter is actually the attitude of the empire itself.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you now," Su Changfeng replied, "That young man has an absolute affinity with the person in charge of a foundation operating behind the North American branch of the Super Competitive League, although the affinity cannot explain anything. But. Once we have this witness, we can apply for further investigation."
"These small characters in the country are nothing to us. Even if we clean them up this time, those people can always arrange for another group of people to infiltrate." He shook his head, "But as long as this person is identified, relationship with the Dragon Fire Guild and the Crow Claw Temple, then we can formally apply to the Star Gate General Administration, requesting the First Division to self-examine, and even send people to 'assist' to investigate the matter, so as to get to the root of the matter. Solve the problem."
"It is precisely because it involves cross-border and cross-regional Stargate cooperation that we must have definite evidence. This witness is so important to us."
"But in this case," Fang Pliance suddenly thought of something, "Looking back on the arrest process, I always feel that it was a little too easy."
"It seems that you have noticed it too." Su Changfeng looked at the other party with some surprise. In his impression, this kid was still a typical stupid young man. He was willing to move forward at all costs for the goal, so he would engage in stowaways. Gate, something that alarmed the entire Stargate organization.
But it seems that without knowing it, the other party has grown to this point.
He was silent for a moment and then asked: "Tell me about it."
"I only felt this after the fact," Fang Pultru replied while recalling the arbitration in Ayinbrok not long ago, "Although it is true that the Seven Mage Family and the Empire gave us a lot of resistance . But in the whole incident, I always feel as if one party is invisible."
He raised his head and looked at Su Changfeng.
The two of them saw the answer in their own eyes.
The first division, Super Competitive League.
