Chapter 289 North
The capital of the empire, Musixiti.
Central area.
70th floor of Triumph Building.
Inquiry Committee Hall.
Gilan was wearing a black hat and black trench coat, with a white rose ornament on her chest, and was sitting in the first row of the hall.
Sitting next to them were Maiev, Renault, Mgul, Garnod and Kaya, who were also wearing gravedigger uniforms.
On the stage in front, Ms. Teresa was explaining to everyone the information and precautions for this grave excavation mission.
“The location of this mission is in Bosvia in the north.”
Ms. Teresa drew a circle on the map with a black marker. The location was roughly north of the capital. A city in Yanbian about 4,000 kilometers away.
Continuing further north on the map, there is a continuous ridge called the "Russell Mountains", also known as the "Continental Collarbone", where the White Tail River and the Sicily River originate.
Beyond the Russell Mountains is a desolate area, with only a few small and barren countries living a closed but peaceful life.
Bosylvia has a very special geographical location. It is located in the south of the Russell Mountains. The Stuttgart Empire is separated from the Stuttgart Empire by the "Tijn River", a tributary of the White Tail River, and the West Sikri River tributary on the east and west sides. The "Girls' River" separates the Owena Commonwealth.
It can be said that Bosiva is a small city caught between the eastern and western hegemons. At the same time, it is also a prosperous town with developed trade and coexisting beliefs.
“According to the committee’s information, a ‘Level 1 Nightmare Monument’ has recently appeared in Bosivia, which urgently needs us to deal with... But because of the special characteristics of Bosivia, we’d better keep a low profile. Don’t make too much noise.”
Ms. Teresa said solemnly.
Everyone nodded, understanding what the lady meant.
Although Bosvia is an imperial territory, it is actually a highly autonomous colony and the empire's window to the outside world.
Also because it changed hands several times in history, it has important symbolic significance to the empire -
It is both an honor and a shame for the Bremen Empire.
Although the local officials obeyed the instructions of the empire, they were not ruled by the Hiru people, but by a new mixed-race ethnic group called the Himedis.
There are also many foreigners trading and settling in Bosiva, with mixed beliefs and complicated situations.
In order to pay attention to the image of the empire, their trip was focused on tasks and tried to avoid unnecessary involvement.
Shasha...
Ms. Teresa wrote several important pieces of information with asterisks on the whiteboard in neat and beautiful handwriting.
"In addition, Chairman Parra has issued a warning."
After the lady finished writing, she knocked on the whiteboard with her knuckles and turned around and said:
"The Owina Federation has been taking frequent actions recently, and it has also attacked the wave. Sylvia thought about it. It is unclear how many federal spies there are in the area, but there must be a lot of them... They are also colluding with the old god's secret sect, the Heavenly Evil Cult, so we have to be vigilant about this."
“Yes, Ms. Theresa.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The elegant lady with gray hair and a high-collar windbreaker smiled, closed the lid of the marker and stuffed it into her outer pocket, and said:
“There are still some detailed matters, we will discuss them on the plane... Everyone now Get ready, check your accompanying weapons, equipment and ammunition, and replenish them at the Armed Forces Department in time."
"Gather downstairs in one hour"
"Yes!"
Everyone stood up together.
…
…
One hour later.
Gilan followed the two groups of gravediggers to the tarmac behind the Triumph Building and boarded the familiar X-1 biplane transport plane.
Just now he went to the Armed Forces Department and received some free ammunition. Taking advantage of the situation, I also exchanged my merits for 5 mercury batteries and replenished some alchemical explosives and alchemical potions.
Of the original 360 merit points, there are still 220 points left.
The pilot assigned by the committee conveyed the take-off signal to the cabin through the intercom as usual, and received the permission from the person in charge, Theresa Corou.
Da da da da!
The huge propeller blades rotated at high speed, and the powerful power of the military-grade S-2 whale oil battery drove the transport plane forward and immediately took off into the sky...
This journey is still the same It's most of the day.
Late afternoon.
Through the port window of the transport plane, Guillen saw the bird's eye view of Bosvia from high altitude.
The sunset dyes the clouds and turns the earth into a golden color. The ridge in the distance is extremely tall and wide, like an invisible "sky screen". Two meandering rivers descend from the middle of the ridge and branch in the plains, like an "upside down tree".
And in the center of this "tree branch", there are city clusters scattered all over, which is the destination of everyone's trip -
Bosivia.
Jilan was high in the sky, and a strange thought came to his mind... If he fell from such a height, would he die?
He thought about it, but in the end he was frustrated to find that he could not find any reason to survive.
‘If one day I can fall to the ground from such a height without dying, then I must have enough strength to protect myself in this world, right? ’
Jilan secretly guessed.
Based on his current understanding of mysticism, even a fourth-level or even fifth-level Kusei has no chance of surviving if he falls from such a height...
Perhaps only the limit of the world, level 6, can achieve this.
Suddenly, Jilan looked startled.
With his strong eyesight, he observed that southern Bosvia was a forest with a long-abandoned railway.
The railway passes through the forest, and then along the branch of the Sicily River on the right, the "Nvsi River", directly to the southern part of Bosvia. In the dense forests adjacent to the southern area, you can vaguely see scattered ruins similar to villages.
This picture instantly stunned Jilan.
He couldn't help but think of a place...
Peel City!
The war-torn city in the real film "Human Will" was the place where the "torrent" of January Sichen ascended!
It’s the same railway passing through the forest, the same village outside the city, the same “coast”... It’s just that in the real film at that time, Gilan probably mistook the broad “Nvsi River” Seen as an ocean.
‘It’s so similar! ’
Jilan stared at the scenery outside the window and thought to himself.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at Maiev, who was sitting next to him.
The woman with long black hair was also looking out the window, but her expression was extremely complicated, with deep memories and pain in her eyes.
“Miss Maiev, was this where Chairman Pala rescued you from the ‘God’s Chosen Tower’ and brought you back to the capital?”
Jilan asked in a deep voice.
Hearing the sound, Maiev glanced at him and was startled at first. He fell into a brief silence and nodded.
"Yeah." She took a deep breath. "The killing game that happened more than ten years ago is still fresh in my memory."
Hearing Maiev's words, Gilan confirmed his suspicion.
‘It turns out that... the city of Pill in the Munich Empire is Bosvia in the Bremen Empire. ’
Ji Lan couldn't help but sigh.
He looked at the city cluster of Bosvia, but found no trace of the spiral tower.
Maiev seemed to see his doubts, so she explained in a low voice:
"Not long after the killing game ended, the 'Tower of God's Choice' suddenly disappeared overnight. "
"Suddenly disappeared..."
Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
For such a bizarre thing, he could only think of someone in authority to take action.
After all, the "Tower of God's Choice" was the creation of Anthony Rotti, the Apostle of June, the 'Mason'. He had every reason to take back this masterpiece of His.
‘So... the background of the story in the real film "Human Will" should have occurred during the Empire's Second Battle of Honor, that is, between 1909 and 1915. ’
Gilan recalled the history books he had been reading lately.
‘At that time, the Führer launched a war to recapture the colony of Bosvia… and used this to promote the “Gear Plan”? ’
‘If this is the case, it is no wonder that the empire’s technology has developed so rapidly in the past ten years. '
'In January Sichen's "torrent" soared, and the successive births of the "Mechanic Cult" and the "Mechanical Guild" indeed brought a rapid increase in industrialization and national strength to the empire. ’
‘However, the city of Bosivia is really ill-fated... Not to mention that it has changed hands several times, it is still a stage for competition between many forces and even many powerful people. ’
With his thoughts at this point, Jilan felt an unspeakable solemnity about his next trip.
He always felt that this trip would not go so smoothly...
…
…
The biplane transport plane named "Duke Leonard" slowly descended, and finally landed at Landed at a military base in the western part of Bosvia.
Ms. Teresa led the team, and everyone got off the plane one after another from the gangway.
Local officials in Bosvia were waiting for the flight earlier.
When he saw a group of people coming down, a young man in a suit who was leading them came up with a smile on his face and led five or six people.
"Welcome to all of you who have come from afar, I am the senior clerk responsible for reception and communication this time, Tapani Dot."
The young man stretched out his hand and smiled.
He looks close to thirty years old, has a fair face and no beard, and wears a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses. There is also Bosivian's official ID hanging on his chest, which looks quite official.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tapani."
Ms. Teresa smiled politely and shook hands with her in a dignified manner.
Her status as the head of the gravedigger team is at the ministerial level within the empire, but in the special colony of Bosvia, it is difficult to gain the respect of local officials.
Although Tapani's smile was very modest, Gilan was keenly aware of a hint of hidden disdain.
The five or six attendants behind Tapani are all like this.
This reminded Gillan of some local situations that Ms. Teresa told them about when they were on the plane.
There are many people in Bosvia, and there are residents of all countries and colors. But as long as the locals have a "resident ID card", they have an inexplicable sense of superiority towards the imperial people.
It would be an understatement to call it arrogance.
This stems from the importance of Bosvia to the Empire.
Gilan is very able to understand this broad public sentiment. To use a common saying in his previous life, it is "arrogance based on favor".
Relying on his own importance, he looked down upon the Imperial people.
Gilan does not have a good impression of Bosylvia.
Not only because of the local xenophobia, but also because human trafficking is actually legal in Bosvia...
Even the frequent disappearance cases in various slums, the local Officials just turned a blind eye and let things go their own way.
This is hard to make Gilan feel good about.
