Terra Calendar 1591.2.13. 08:45 A

Edici Federation Red Hook District-Grey Harbor Town.

The morning air has a faint salty smell, mixed with a strong sense of humidity.

The low-hanging lead-gray clouds in the sky were like a thick blanket, covering the earth tightly, not allowing a trace of sunlight to shine through.

The entire Red Hook area was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

The wind blows from the sea, carrying the cold, gently beating the faded and mottled old buildings, making a faint echo.

Red Hook is located in southern Brooklyn, New York, and was once a busy industrial and port center.

The docks, warehouses, and old railway tracks are now relics of the times.

This was once the center of trade and industry, with cargo ships, the roar of machinery, and busy dock workers. It was one of the most important maritime trade centers in New York.

There are many reasons for its decline:

With the development of containerized transportation, many traditional terminals have lost their effectiveness; the decline of factories and manufacturing industries, inconvenient transportation and weak infrastructure; the slow gentrification of cities, and a large number of social security problems...

The most important of these is that there is a comprehensive abnormal collapse problem that even the federation cannot solve.

This area once suffered from a flood crisis called "Sandy", which caused serious damage to the area, and a large number of homes and infrastructure were flooded.

The hurricane not only caused a short-term impact on the local economy, but also made the area's long-term recovery more difficult. Flooding forced residents to relocate and repaired infrastructure took a long time.

There are different opinions on the causes of this crisis. It not only caused great damage to the area, but also attracted many monsters and monsters to settle here.

With the "fall" of New York, New York became a new world. Since the opening of the alien race, the Red Hook District, which has experienced a long decline, showed faint signs of recovery.

However, it also caused more "disasters".

On the Gray Harbor pier, the sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it a moist salty smell and a bit of bleak chill, as if this abandoned port was still sighing at its past glory.

The pier is next to the gray-blue water. It was once the busy lifeblood of the town, but now there is only silence.

The few private docks that are still in use seem particularly lonely. The cranes next to the docks have long been rusted, and the rails standing on the ground like iron giants are mottled. The traces of tires have long disappeared, and everything has been swallowed up by time.

.

Click——

With a soft sound, a girl put down the camera in her hand and stared at the historical ruins in front of her.

She has a beautiful face, with a long single ponytail draped behind her back, and her light brown hair fluttering gently in the breeze. She is wearing a simple white shirt and a dark windbreaker, looking knowledgeable and neat.

Her figure is graceful and curvy, with an intellectual temperament, yet still kind.

"Camille, why don't you ask Professor Dominic to come over in person and contact the people from the Wilson Wildlife Response Team~"

“It’s so boring here~”

A lazy voice broke the silence of the dock.

That was Ushas, ​​a girl with three eyes who was two meters tall.

She stood next to the dilapidated railway track, her eyes a bit impatient, and she carried a huge battle ax behind her back. The blade of the ax reflected a cold light in the dim sunlight.

Ushas's third eye is located in the center of her forehead, exuding a strange sense of mystery. Although she is tall and looks extremely strong, she is complaining like a child at this moment, her tone full of boredom and dissatisfaction.

patient.

On Ushas's shoulder, squatting was a seemingly ordinary frog named Muji.

Muji was holding a small green monocular, observing the sea in the distance, looking for something. The green-skinned frog was carrying a small travel bag, looking playful and agile.

"Wait a little longer, Ushas."

Camille turned around and looked at his team members. The ghost Lifenr floating next to Ushas was observing the surroundings and fluttering gently. Lifenr's figure was looming, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time.

He is a timid ghost with uneasy eyes. He looks around from time to time, worried that something will suddenly attack him.

"We...we'd better be careful." Lifener's voice was weak, but filled with nervousness.

"I heard that there is an association of green-robed wizards from the International Confederation of Wizards here in Gray Port."

Ghost Lifenr's voice was still low, with a hint of nervousness, and he spoke faster, as if he wanted to tell the terrible news as quickly as possible.

"Although the federation is called the International Federation of Wizards, they are actually not international at all. They are very unfriendly to the outside world, especially thaumaturges..."

"The big hub where they are located has long been closed. Only those wizards who have obtained separate robe certification and wand holding certificates will be reluctantly regarded as the same kind."

When he said this, his voice paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether to continue.

His eyes drifted into the distance. The dilapidated cranes and mottled railway tracks on the Gray Harbor docks looked extremely depressed in the weak sunlight, as if they were hiding some ancient and terrible secret.

Lieffenr continued:

"And I heard an elder from Hailing Street mentioned... there is a big taboo left by wizards here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to become colder, as if even the wind in Gray Harbor felt solemn due to this taboo.

Camille smiled softly, with comforting tenderness in her eyes.

She gently put away the camera, approached Lifener, stretched out her hand to straighten her hair that was a little messy due to the sea breeze, her smile was somewhat calm and intellectual:

"It's okay, Lifener."

Camille's voice was gentle, with some undoubted certainty, "We are students of Deer Court. Professor Albert Lawngen is a certified blue-robed wizard, and our strength, under normal circumstances, we are also

I can handle it."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This time I came to Gray Harbor just to contact people from the Wilson Wildlife Response Team and perform internship tasks."

"We just need to investigate the magical animal found nearby and cooperate with them to contain it." Her eyes stared into the distance through the lenses, with a hint of calm thinking flashing in her eyes.

"but--"

Her tone changed slightly, and her brows showed some contemplation and alertness.

"We may also need to be careful about those who hunt magical animals. According to Professor Dominic, this magical animal is full of treasures and has already attracted a lot of malicious eyes."

Ushas stood aside, leaning forward slightly, resisting the coldness brought by the sea breeze.

She yawned carelessly, and the giant ax was still firmly slung on her strong shoulders. This heavy weapon was just a part of her daily life.

"They're guys with bad intentions," she muttered in a low voice, with a hint of indifferent weariness in her tone, but the faint edge couldn't be ignored, "I'm the best at dealing with them."

Her voice is low and hoarse, but full of confidence and domineering.

Suddenly, Ushas's three eyes moved slightly, thinking of something, and there was a trace of wonder in her lazy posture.

She turned her head and looked in a certain direction outside the town of Gray Harbor, which was the core area of ​​New York and Hell's Kitchen. The steel forest-like buildings stood on the gray skyline in the distance.

Despite the distance, Ushas' gaze seemed to penetrate layers of barriers, staring at something that could not be seen by ordinary people.

"We have all come to New York, and we have met the agents of the Honkai Administration Bureau earlier..."

She whispered in a low voice, with a hint of indescribable emotion in her words.

Ushas recalled the scene a few days ago, with a trace of disbelief on his brow, as if he was still recalling those shocking moments.

"Good guy, that operator is really fierce," her tone gradually became a little excited, "When fighting a spirit sucker, he didn't give the opponent any chance to breathe."

"The operator with cat ears looks so soft and frail. Who would have thought that she was wielding a bolt gun and a chainsword in her hand, and she could just rush forward and slash her wildly."

As she spoke, she made an exaggerated chopping motion with her hands, seeming to imitate the scene of that battle.

"The ball machine behind her is also very interesting." Ushas showed a curious smile, "It is said to be the administrative think tank 'Adam'. It's just a small mechanical ball, but it can do real-time

Analyzing the battle environment, it looks like a mobile strategist, and it can spit out various capsules and generate weapons. I heard that it seems to be the boss of the administration..."

"The Illithid looked really aggrieved, and said that the Administration had insulted their empire too much. A while ago, the Mole Science Society troops of the Administration were responsible for killing one of their Idithid colonies in Terra, and now they are still

Continue to persecute them."

Speaking of this, Ursas secretly glanced at Camille beside him.

Camille still maintained a calm expression and her eyes were distant, as if she had no trouble with Ushas's description.

Ushas coughed slightly, his eyes flickered cautiously, and he continued speaking after considering his tone:

"Such a fierce guy is just one of the many agents of the Administration, and their boss. You know, is Abra... the legendary angel, one of his many subordinates."

When she mentioned the unfinished name "Abra...", Ushas's tone became obviously serious and her voice lowered a bit.

She paused and carefully observed Camille's expression again, carefully guessing what her reaction would be.

There was still no obvious emotion on Camille's face, and her glasses reflected a trace of luster in the gray sky, covering her eyes.

She was so calm that people couldn't fathom it. However, when Ushas mentioned a name that could not be mentioned casually now, Camille felt an imperceptible wave in her heart.

Hugh Abraham - that name, that secret emotion, instantly appeared in her mind.

Ushas continued, with some emotion in his tone:

“I didn’t expect that my classmates who entered school together have grown into such legendary figures.

Listen to his nicknames - Dragon Slayer, Disaster Apostle, Vampire Hunter, Kingslayer, Triple Crown Champion, Fourth Sword Bearer in Heaven, Man in Gray... Behind each title is a shocking deed.
