Mysteries: Arcana Wars

The secret project was progressing rapidly, and Helgi was lost in thought as he looked at the rocket that was about to be launched. Following a few subtle fluctuations in the air, Vardas jumped out of the air and walked to Helgi's side.

No matter where he appears, Vardas always wears an elegant and noble aristocratic outfit, with a clean white suit and low-key luxury accessories outlining his extraordinary temperament. Today, he cut his hair short and shaved his beard, making his body, which should have entered old age, show the vitality of a young man and the aura of an elder.

This kind of exquisite and high-profile style is incompatible with the orderly working atmosphere in the factory, and even a little out of place. Helgi glanced at the newcomer and silently moved aside. Compared with Vardas, even if he changed into special workshop work clothes, Helgi still looked like a gloomy and haggard old monster. The gray-blue uniform hung on him like a layer of rotten skin. But Helgi didn't care about his image and reputation. He just hated Vardas's coquettishness as always.

As a wonderful feeling spread, the space between the two was hidden by Valdas, instantly forming a good place for whispering.

"It is said that you did something great while I was away."

Vardas patted Helgi's shoulder heavily, his eyes showing not only shock and amusement, but also a little bit of strange fear.

"You pointed your sword at three elders and killed a demigod in front of them?"

"That's right, what next?"

"You really did it? You really did it?"

Vardas first looked as if he had seen a ghost, then he laughed happily.

"Helgi! You know what? I've been wanting to do this for a long time!!

"You have fulfilled my childhood dream!"

He laughed so happily that he couldn't help patting Helgi's shoulders repeatedly, causing Helgi's face to twitch in pain. Finally, he impatiently grabbed the other's hand and shook it off.

"Seeing how unhappy they were, why didn't you go to the elders' council and give them a couple of punches before you ran away?"

"Oh, never mind whether I could beat those three elders back then. If I really attacked Abraham's people when I was escaping, I would be a true traitor, and you would definitely kill me without mercy."

This kind of thing can only be imagined in one's mind, Vardas thought.

When he defected from Abraham, it was just because of different philosophies. At that time, he was still young and frivolous, thinking that he was a genius of Abraham for being able to be promoted to Sequence 3 at a "young" age. His future should be in this unknown sea of ​​stars.

But during the three hundred years when the gods disappeared, Abraham strictly prohibited anyone from exploring the depths of the starry sky.

Therefore, after fighting against this ban for decades, Vardas finally couldn't stand the suppression of the Elders Council anymore, stole a Sequence 2 Extraordinary Item from the warehouse, and fled completely with Helgi's help. He brought his followers to the Backlund Underground City and established the [Vardas Abraham Lunar Exploration Laboratory] to continue exploring deep beyond the outpost orbit, hoping that one day the scope of the surface safety zone of the starry sky could be expanded beyond the moon.

Inside or outside the outpost is the difference between life and death. In Abraham's records, in the past three hundred years, no astronaut has been able to return intact after crossing the outpost. Therefore, everything that crosses the outpost's orbit is regarded as an enemy and a threat. This is also the rule and red line of the entire space travel industry.

You never know whether the one returning from the other side of the orbit is your comrade or the treacherous pollution.

But Vardas did it.

Talent, luck, skills, wisdom, a faint blessing from extraordinary objects, and infinite curiosity about the unknown starry sky have created a unique miracle in Vardas.

He even shattered and extracted the Beyonder characteristics in the seal, successfully advancing to Sequence 2 in secret in the starry sky.

This had a huge impact on the entire Presbyterian Church.

"If you had chosen to kill everyone instead of running away secretly, I certainly wouldn't have let you go."

Helgi glanced at Vardas, who called himself the family's night watcher. Abraham's interests were above all personal feelings. It was not a bad thing for Vardas to leave the family. If he could succeed in his research, it would also give Abraham another possibility for his future.

"It's not the first day you've met me."

"We have a friendship of two hundred years!"

"It's a pity that more than two hundred years have passed without you learning your lesson."

"I won't argue with you anymore, you're childish."

Small talk always turns into some kind of sharp thorn in Helgi's mouth, which makes people feel creepy. Vardas snorted. The daunting work intensity and the passage of decades have tempered Helgi, this gloomy old snake, making his poison purer, and even his scales are prickly to the touch.

"Let's talk about old people - I'm a shadow elder in the Presbyterian Church now."

"As expected. An angel of Abraham deserves the highest seat in the family." Helgi said calmly, "But I haven't seen you in the recent council meetings. I think the elders are still prepared to keep your promotion to angel a secret."

"What's the difference between making this public and committing suicide? Do you want me to be beaten up by the church?"

Valdas was very self-aware. In such a dangerous surface peace, it would be absolutely fatal to easily break the balance of the major forces.

"But as the Shadow Elder, my next responsibilities and battlefield will not be on the ground."

He looked at Helgi and pointed upward.

starry sky.

As a recently promoted angel, Vardas may be the only one in Abraham's era who has explored the depths of the starry sky many times and returned alive in the era without the protection of the Lost God and the Radiant Angel. He possesses irreplaceable and valuable experience.

Under the current circumstances, the three elders are enough to keep Abraham on the ground running normally, and Vardas staying on the ground increases the possibility of being exposed.

His real strategic value lies in the confusing starry sky.

"Before the new outpost space station is launched with the rocket, I will go further to the surface of the starry sky to explore the way for the space station."

"This is still a big risk." Helgi frowned, "Your sequence is too high. Under the influence of the Extraordinary Aggregation Law, it is easy to bring disaster to the astronauts in the space station."

"Of course I understand, Helgi. This is also the reason why we only use Sequence 5 or even lower Beyonders as astronauts."

Valdas took out a beach chair from the air, sat down gracefully, leaned back comfortably, and looked at the magnificent factory in front of him, just like admiring a beautiful natural wonder. Space exploration and road-opening escort seemed as easy as going home to him.
