349. Blood and Iron
News came today that the mining city had completely cut off contact with a surrounding affiliated town.
But this news did not touch Joyna Fez.
It’s not that she doesn’t care about the place called “Neon Town”, but that another thing has distracted her.
Just now, she and Long Chentian were in the laboratory of the base and suddenly saw a strange phenomenon. Long Chentian's communicator trembled slightly.
Then, in the blurry image, they all saw the image of a huge and ancient palace, and the figures of several people that were fleeting.
"What's going on? Isn't this the temple of 'Ispatin'?" Long Chentian said in surprise.
When he turned to look at Joyna, he also saw the shock in the other person's eyes, obviously no less than himself.
"'Ispatin'? Oh my God, who is that woman? Have you seen it clearly?" Joyna's voice trembled slightly, and she tried hard to recall the scene just now.
"That man seems to be... Evanna."
Long Chentian looked at the communicator on his arm, and it had already stopped operating. He tried to contact Evanna again, but he could not get any response, as if he was completely blocked.
"Well, what does this mean...Why did she get there?"
"I don't know, but my feeling is not wrong. That feeling is hers."
Joyna was a little confused at this moment.
Because, although it was only a moment, she saw several strange figures. Evanna's body was hunched over, like a prisoner being interrogated, and seemed to be very rude to her.
Since she heard the owner's voice again that night, Joyna has been a little confused. The recent series of events have made her a little exhausted and she can hardly sleep at night.
The ancient iron city was ready to move and didn't know what it was doing, and the Obsidian Society also openly attacked the place.
She was shocked when she encountered such a strange thing again today.
The same is true for Long Zhu Tian, his spirit has been in a tense state.
The master said that Mr. Ghost's consciousness was with him, and then there was no news.
All he could do was to continue instilling spiritual power here and give the bird statue. He would not consider anything else for the time being, but Joyna was taking care of it.
Now I suddenly saw Evanna, and it was actually in the temple of "Ispatin", how could he not be nervous?
The four people next to Evanna were also impressed by Long Chantian. When it comes to the surrounding images, I thought about it for a moment and realized that the four knights of the Temple who seemed to be the highest "Ispatin".
Before he was framed by Stanley Cook with tricks, locked up and suppressed the underground place, the Elders' House was selected from the Jidu practitioners and appointed three new Templars.
Except for the White Tiger Venerable, the others inherited the names of the four Templars and continued to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the temple.
All this seemed to have happened yesterday. The moment he saw those people just now, he was also in a daze.
"But...didn't they go to investigate the Black Tower a while ago...? Moreover, on the 17th, they were with her, why did they just see her? What happened to them?"
Joyna was a little at a loss, staring at Long Jutian and asking questions repeatedly.
Long Chentian frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said, "It's very simple. As her identity, it's impossible for him to go to the 'Cliff Lake' practitioners. Then, I guess, they must have met the 'Ispatin' on the road, and for some reason, they took her there."
"Can they be forcibly taken away by those practitioners?"
"Yes, this possibility is not ruled out, but the above is just my speculation. What do you think?"
"I think your statement makes sense, just..."
Joyna frowned, and thought it was the most reasonable explanation at the moment. "So, why did the 'Ispatin' take her away? Are those practitioners really so powerful that even with her strength, can't get rid of those people?"
"Ha--Do you think they are ordinary practitioners?"
"What! Are these more powerful guys?" Joyna was stunned.
Long blamed the sky without comment, shook his head, a series of memories flashed through his mind, and a bitter smile, "These four people are Ispatin's Templars. Each of them has their own unique secret technique, and they are extremely powerful, so they can be described as defiant of the heavens."
"Wow—you really know them." Joyna exclaimed, there was such a powerful cultivator.
Unexpectedly, these people are the legendary guards of the "Ispatin" temple.
"Haha, this is really difficult to deal with. Their approach is a bit strange. How about it, what did you think of?" Long Chentian saw that Joyna's brow had not opened yet, and asked again.
"I don't know, what this means..."
"Then let's talk about it, why do you think?"
"I was thinking that Yu Linglong and Lin Wenlai were also people from the previous 'Ispatin'. They were powerful men at the Sky Guard level. They were already so powerful, but they were impressed by their masters. Will these four legendary Knights Templars be enemies of us? I can't imagine how abilities they are and what they are going to do."
Long Chentian smiled slightly and nodded at her: "After all, Ispatin is an organization in charge of the realm for many years. They are responsible for monitoring the world and have many secret treasures. Their strength is definitely strong. But the real terrifying thing about these four people is not just the superficial strength."
"you mean……"
"Let me tell you this, real battles are by no means simple data comparison, you should be very clear. The manifestation of strength is the product of comprehensive consideration, and basic data provides many aspects such as physical strength, strength, physical fitness and combat experience."
Joyna agreed with him very much and kept nodding.
"Then what?"
"The result of all basic data is the embodiment of comprehensive combat ability. In order to beat the opponent in battle, more factors are needed, such as perseverance, endurance, luck, that is, the right time, place, people, etc. Only when these factors are superimposed and you can control it without any effort is the time to truly show your strength."
"I understand what you mean, fighting and winning or losing are never simple data overlays. So what are the real scary things about them?"
Long Chentian glanced at Joyna with some playfulness and smiled faintly: "Anyone has his own shortcomings, and the same is true for those Christmas knights. But not only are they powerful, but they have polished their shortcomings in the long-term hardships and countless battles. When they are together, they will make up for each other's shortcomings, which is absolutely impeccable!"
Joyna was surprised. Isn’t this equivalent to invincibility?
"Oh my God! That's really scary! So... what do you think the master, what is his ability to you?"
Long Chentian was stunned after hearing this, but he didn't expect Joyna to suddenly raise such a question.
He pondered for a while and said slowly, "Apart from that young man... to be honest, I can't see through him either. The power he possesses, well, looks like... to me... doesn't look like a person from this world at all."
Joyna agreed with this and nodded.
The master's strength is incredible, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know about. Even the people in Long Zhutian's trick cannot see through what his origin is.
"By the way, No. 17! Why don't we contact her directly!" Joyna suddenly remembered and raised her arm to contact her.
"Don't work hard, she didn't wear a communicator at all, she gave the only one to Evanna." Long Chentian shook his head and stopped her.
"What, didn't she bring it? What should I do..."
Long Chentian sighed and stood up, paced back and forth in the room, stopped in front of the container, and murmured.
"There's nothing to do. It seems that if I want to solve this problem, I can only go to 'Ispatin' in person. I hope my little name can still manage something."
"You're going to Ispatin?"
Joyna looked puzzled and said word by word: "What should I do if my master returns? He said before that you want to recharge this statue, replenish the lost body, and help him get out of trouble!"
"Don't worry, I've felt some situations these days, and the absorption rate of this little thing is no longer as good as before. The judgment should be a sign that the charging is about to be completed. Of course, I will follow his wishes and finish my work before going."
Long Chentian smiled and seemed to be relaxed, but his expression quickly became silent and seemed much more serious.
When I thought about going to Ispatin, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Joyna sighed softly, not daring to look at his expression.
She knew that Long Zhutian's decision was really a matter of no choice, and that was his way of survival. He was the only one present when the master disappeared that day, and it was difficult for him to guess what kind of agreement he had with his master.
Now that the enemy is facing a great enemy, many things are involuntarily and are forced to do.
If he said that he was a general of the people of Zhidu a long time ago, then in today's era, no one can say what kind of bond he has with "Ispatin". Only he himself knows whether the contradiction can be resolved.
"I understand, just do what you want, but... I hope to wait until the master returns. You know, the situation in this place is not optimistic. Not long ago, we were completely cut off from the outside world by that emperor, and today, another affiliated town was occupied by him."
"Of course, I know that there are some things you don't say, and that young man's return is necessary. Although... I still have many questions, it does not hinder my commitment to him. Don't worry, I will definitely do what he told me, after all, he is my savior. If it weren't for him, I might still be locked in the dark underground!"
Long Chentian's hand turned, and a stream of spiritual power slowly sent to the container. The bird god statue trembled slightly and returned to calm.
Joyna suddenly heard a messy and rapid footsteps coming from outside, and then looked towards the door.
The door was pushed open, and the Monica sisters appeared at the door, and Su Zhe was following them. The few of them looked a little panicked.
Joyna looked at them in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? What happened makes you so panic?"
Yi Fang wiped the fine sweat beads that oozed out of her head, looked at Joyna with a heavy breathing sound and said, "Queen, something happened!"
"Hmm? Something happened, tell me quickly!"
"A few hours ago, someone set fire everywhere in the city and burned several civilian buildings in the upper city. The guards in the city thought it was a mob that was incited by emotions, so they immediately sent a team of nearly 100 people to maintain public order, but when they arrived at the scene, they found..."
