The inside of the watch fortress is more grand than imagined. A wide spiral road winds up the mountain. There are lush virgin forests on both sides of the road, and houses made of huge rocks stand in the forest. I don’t know whether they are residences or defenses.
fortifications.
The mountain peak is divided into more than a dozen levels by roads. Each level is firmly guarded by solid towers. However, the defense inside is obviously much laxer than outside. There is no one on the tower and there are no guards near the gate. It seems that the watchers are very concerned about their own safety.
The fortress was very relieved and felt that it was impossible to
External breach. There is a spacious platform on each floor. Watchers in twos and threes hurriedly walked up. The light flashed and disappeared. They were obviously teleported to the other side of the canyon. I don’t know if they also relied on teleportation when they came back.
You still have to cross the bridge.
Major ignored eating and asked Ellie to take him to see the top person in charge of the Watch Fortress. Ellie curled her lips and said mockingly: "The chief elder of the Watcher League, Fan Lun, is busy with everything, how can ordinary people like us...
Anyone can see it casually."
Major said: "I have an extremely urgent matter that affects the survival of Watch Fortress."
"You should tell Logan first and let him reflect it to the higher level. Submit it layer by layer and don't mess with the rules." Kaka interjected.
Major rolled his eyes at him fiercely. "When will it be your turn to speak? Since you are the watchman, you can just interrupt at will."
Kaka puffed up his little chest: "I have passed the watch test and officially become a watcher. Just like my uncle Yutan."
Ellie nodded. "After coming to Overwatch Fortress, he must join the Overwatch League, so Logan gave him a task. Unexpectedly, he completed it smoothly. If you have anything to say to Logan, he will definitely move forward.
Reflected.”
"Actually, it's not a big deal. There's no need to tell Logan." Major said. I already knew that Logan was a traitor, but I couldn't tell Ellie about this. Xiao Nizi seemed smart, but she was related to Logan.
It's so good, who knows if it will be emotional.
Ellie was very dissatisfied: "You said it was extremely urgent just now. Now you say it's no big deal. Why didn't you say the right thing?"
"I'm kidding you." Major responded casually. "What, the chief elder lives in the high tower on the top of the mountain, right?" He pointed to the tallest tower on the top of the mountain and pretended to ask casually.
As if asking.
"Probably, we haven't been there either. The elders are very busy and don't want to see ordinary watchmen."
Major said: "Let's go up and have a look. If we are lucky enough to see one, I'll put my words to rest."
The three of them went up one floor at a time. The road was very spacious and was paved with cobblestones of similar sizes and shapes. Soon they reached the highest floor, which is also the bottom of the tall towers. Looking up from below, the tower body pierced the sky, and even more
It looks majestic and extraordinary.
At the entrance of each tower, there are two guards wrapped in full-body armor with only two eyes exposed, holding spears and guarding the door.
Major walked to the top of the tower. The guard crossed his spears and asked angrily: "What are you doing?"
"I have something confidential to report."
"Name?"
"Major George."
A guard looked him up and down, turned around, walked back to the tower, and came out after a while.
"You are lucky. Elder Ambert has some time now. But he can only go up to you."
Major nodded to Ali and Kaka, and followed the guards into the tower. The space inside the tower was much narrower than expected. A spiral stone staircase snaked upwards against the wall. Major was about to complain about this nonsense.
In a humane design, the guard clicked on a white crystal ball protruding from the wall. The wall receded to both sides with a rumble, revealing a small pavilion.
"Elder Ambert is at the top. There will be someone to receive you when you go up. Pay attention to your words and deeds, Watcher Major." The guard made a gesture to let Major in, and coldly ordered.
It was an elevator! Thank God, Major got in quickly. Climbing stairs was one of the two things he hated most in his life.
He pressed the small red crystal ball at the top. The elevator suddenly started and reached the top of the tower in a blink of an eye.
Outside the elevator is a corridor, which is resplendent with gold and green. On the pale yellow glazed wall, there is a portrait hanging every few steps. The people in the painting are all very old, with majestic expressions and proud faces. Major stepped on the thick
There was no sound at all on the carpet.
A man with a tired face and two thick dark circles under his eyes was waiting for him. "Are you Major? I am Elder Ambert's stopper Cahoon. Come with me, Elder Ambert will receive you in two minutes. You only have five
Minutes, it must be brief and concise. Elder Ambert's time is precious. Now organize your language." As soon as they met, he said hello and turned around, talking a lot along the way.
From time to time, richly dressed people passed by Major and glanced at him with slight surprise.
Major didn't care. He followed Cahoon with his head high. He walked half a circle in the corridor and came to two thick red wooden doors. On each door were painted a red dragon and a black dragon. They opened their mouths to roar and spit out blazing flames.
.
Kahun stood by the door, took out his pocket watch, looked at it, waited a few seconds, and then gently opened the door.
"Elder Ambert, Major is here. He said he has something confidential to report."
"Let him in." An old and tired voice said. Cahoon nodded to Major. Major walked in, and Cahoon also walked in, silently walked to the small table on the side, turned over a few pieces of paper sitting on it,
It was written on it.
An old man with silver hair and a face like an ancient Greek statue sat at a large desk, lowering his head and writing furiously among a large pile of documents. He had a thick silver beard under his chin and was dressed in a silver suit.
The white robe has small diamonds on the chest, shining in the sun.
A silver staff is placed at hand, and the top of the staff is also an extremely bright silver gem, which is so bright that it seems to flow.
"Go ahead, young man. I underestimated the number of these documents. You may only have two minutes." He put down his pen, leaned back on the chair tiredly, and pinched his nose.
Major turned to look at Cahoon.
Ambert waved his hand impatiently: "Tell me, Cahun has been with me for decades, and there is nothing that he shouldn't know."
At this point, Major had to say something. He had already thought of his explanation and spoke clearly in a few words. He even took out the bone beads he got after killing the Bone Giant as evidence.
Ambert took a look, frowned and thought for a while and said: "Ridiculous! What are the drow doing on the ground! No one has been able to solve the riddle on the prophecy slate, and the day when the great ice disaster will come is far away. Besides, we are keeping watch.
The fortress has a solid layer of protection underground. Even the gray dwarf miners of the drow could not dig it open in ten thousand years. The most critical thing for us now is to resist the Black Flame Brotherhood's attack from the ground. They are the biggest threat.
."
Major wanted to open his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Ambert: "Okay, young man, I appreciate your attitude. The Watcher League needs everyone to do their best. Kahun will mark your merits. Now go back, you
There are definitely a lot of daily tasks to be completed.”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and processed the documents.
Major was sniffed, thought for a while and still didn't say anything. The Watch Fortress doesn't belong to me, at worst the uncle left, so I really just ate the carrot first and didn't worry about it. After a while, he eloped with Ellie. The Watchers all
Even if I die, I don't care about my business.
Kahun had already stood up and opened the door, indicating that he could go out. He had a half-smile on his face, obviously he was laughing at Major in his heart.
Major wiped his hair, strode out, and took the elevator back the way he came.
Ali and Kaka saw him coming out and came up to greet him. Ali asked: "Are you done? What kind of confidential things are there? It's so mysterious that even I won't tell you."
"Nothing, just a casual chat with Ambert." Major said casually, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to go outside to play?"
"Where to go?" Ellie was curious.
"Anywhere will do, why not go to the Shadow Tower." Major thought of the one-eyed dragon who entrusted him with the task.
Ellie curled her lips. "What's so fun about the Shadow Tower? It's all forests and swamps, and the city isn't pretty at all. It's dark, and it's always cloudy and raining."
"Actually, the Rainbow Tower is the most beautiful!" Kaka suddenly interrupted. "I went there once with my uncle when I was a child. It was really magnificent. Under the sun, the tower is colorful, like countless rainbows piled up."
"The Rainbow Tower is fine too. You can go to the Shadow Tower later." Major quickly added.
Ellie tilted her head and thought for a while. "I really want to go. Ever since I joined the Overwatch League, I have been staying near the Red Wall City. I have never even been to the Silver Tower."
"Then let's go!" When Major heard that there was something going on, he quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"That's not possible!" Ellie said sternly. "All the Watchers have withdrawn, preparing to resist the Black Flame Brotherhood's attack. How can we leave at this time? Defending the Watch Fortress is what every Watcher should do.
responsibilities.”
She raised her chest, her eyes were shining with determination, her expression was excited, and she had the spirit of a little red soldier. Even Kaka looked like a bird.
Major was speechless. He really wanted to just leave, but when he thought of what happened in the Shadow Wolf's cave, his heart softened. Although the two of them did not have any physical communication, in those few minutes
Over time, I did develop feelings for Ellie. I couldn't tell whether it was love or not, but I always felt that I should be responsible for her. After saving her life once, it seemed that I should save her for the rest of my life.
Thinking of this, Major suddenly stretched out his hand and gave himself a slap. He cursed secretly: He is so damn worthless! He must never be emotionally attached to a woman. He should be the kind of bastard who plays games with flowers and shows no mercy.
right.
Ali and Kaka were shocked when they saw his strange appearance, and quickly asked him what was wrong.
"There are mosquitoes," Major said.
"I'll take you to eat." Ellie clapped her hands. "Looking at you, I know you're starving."
