Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 209 Two Ancestors
"Is Laurentina coming too?" Xia Lan raised her eyebrows and said, but she was quite expected, she nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's no problem, I happen to have a companion with you."

"En!" With Xia Lan's consent, Skadi briskly nodded to the ghost shark in front of him and said, "He agreed!"

Complicated emotions flashed across Ghost Shark's eyes, and she then said with emotion: "I thought he would hesitate after that incident, obviously he is such a character."

"He is very complicated, and he is like this for everything." Skadi said with a light sigh, but he couldn't make a more detailed evaluation.

Ghost Shark spread his hands, lifted Skadi's waist briskly, and said briskly, "Maybe, he likes me too~?"

Skadi tilted his head, but he didn't look angry, but said with a bit of ecstasy: "He seems to have said before that he doesn't like a white thing, photo album?"

"Ah~!" Ghost Shark teased in an exaggerated tone: "You don't really believe that joke, do you say that you are all married~"

"All..." Skadi immediately recalled the original words Xia Lan said at that time, opened his mouth, then became discouraged, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Sure enough, let's forget it."

"Hmph~" Phantom Shark pinched Skadi's soft face with open hands, and said with a smile: "Ah, ah, ah, according to the people of Yan Kingdom, there is a chance when fate comes, and if it really becomes If we look like that, we are competitors~"

"Hmph!" Skadi snorted vaguely, turning his head to look at the sky outside the window.

……

While the two of them were flirting, Xia Lan was making spark jets, crackling sparks and splashing electric arcs.

After completion, its main feature is that it has a front section that can be unfolded like a petal, and a pointed radiating core like a stamen. The design style is not pure metal cyber style.

However, although the energy supply comes from the source stone, it still needs a "carrier" - a metal substance with a low melting point (melting point is 103 degrees Celsius) that can efficiently form ultra-high temperature and high-speed heat flow under strong energy. supply.

The difficulty of synthesis is not high, Xia Lan decided to rub a ton first, which can provide it with full power attack for 5 minutes.

——The effective range is 120m, the initial launch diameter is 20cm, and the diameter at 120 meters is expected to be 3m.

Overall size: total length 2.12m, weight 2.34 tons when unloaded, the shape can be blurred into a cylinder with a large front and a small rear, and the expandable part is about 1.31m long.

Appearance of flame flow: blazing red bright spark flow, air ionization phenomenon will appear on the periphery, in order to prevent hair blowing and burns, please stay outside the range of [-] meters from the spark flow.

The Xia Lan you thought: I want to marry a bunch of wives!

The actual Xia Lan: Let the flame purify everything!
……

The preparation work lasted until after twelve o'clock that night. Xia Lan looked at the cylinder in front of her, lifted it up with a spell, and then unfolded the launch port at the front. Seeing the weapons blooming like flowers, she was very satisfied. Nod and put it away.

"Hmph~hum~" He returned to the dormitory humming a ditty, touched his wife who seemed to be asleep, saw that she didn't respond, performed a spell to get clothes, walked to the bathroom, and lay down in the sound of splashing water. in the bathtub.

"Recently, I've become more and more fond of soaking... I can't really be a fish, although I'm almost like a fish." He couldn't help muttering twice, and opened the terminal.

The first is to turn off the order receiving system of your own workshop, fill in the status of "field mission" on your operator's itinerary, and then leave an automatic reply message.

"Patta~pata~pata~" The sound of crisp footsteps gradually approached the bathroom door, a slender hand gently grasped the handle of the bathroom door, and gently unscrewed it...

Xia Lan put down the terminal, looked at Skadi who was only wearing thin pajamas, her eyes paused for a while on the grandeur, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's go clubbing together?"

"Yeah." She nodded slightly, and as she walked over, she unbuttoned her chest from top to bottom, and soon leaned on him to submerge her whole body into the steamy bathtub, letting out a comfortable and tender low. Groan.

Now that it's all over, Xia Lan naturally doesn't have the time to look at the terminal.

……

Early the next morning, the aircraft was alone in the hangar.

Xia Lan looked at the gradually moving aircraft, and beside him were Skadi and Ghost Shark standing empty-handed.

Beside them was a 3 x 3 x 2 metal container, which contained all their equipment for this trip, even the super high-speed near-ground light vehicle that Xia Lan drove before.

However, the original design was to only sit on himself and his wife, so he modified the cushion a little bit, and he could sit down with a squeeze...

perhaps?

As the deck on the top of the hangar gradually separated to the two sides, the aircraft also just ruled out all preparations before take-off, and many maintenance devices automatically popped open, gradually retracting towards the surrounding walls, and then the hatch gradually opened towards the three of them.

"Let's go." He said, he lifted up the container, and when he turned around, he saw two people walking towards the aircraft without looking back.

"Did I take them out on vacation..." He couldn't help but groan in his heart. After the container was placed in the cargo hold and they returned to the passenger cabin, the two of them were already sitting in a corner, looking forward to Talk about what you might see this time.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting so happily, Xia Lan exhaled like an old father, and sat in another seat by the window in the same row as them, quietly reading the book downloaded from the Rhode Island Library a few days ago. A tome of spells.

It also tells about those ancient spell systems, but the publisher is not Victoria, but Sarkaz. The oldest Sarkaz reorganized the "Original Runes" with his own ideas, and at that moment established the Sakaz This is a unique spell that is directly related to life.

Thinking about this... is because Xia Lan is thinking about which way she should use her original spells in the future.

In the recent translation, he also probably knew the meaning of some of the "extra" runes - they were not born to transform the energy of the origin stone, but to transform the spiritual body.

That is to say, whatever the caster's soul and thoughts are, that's where those spells can be guided.

The modern spells are to get rid of those "origin runes" that can directly transform the soul, so that the spells used by the magician become more stable and direct, and it is not so easy to consume Yangshou.

However, this rule does not apply to the current Xia Lan, because he has already embarked on the "unlimited" road.

Therefore, he can use any form of original spells as much as he wants. Although it is easy to consume too much, as long as he is not dead, he will not stop moving forward.

"Speaking of which, when I burned my soul back then, why didn't I think of this aspect? Shouldn't it be something like 'suddenly comprehending the true meaning of spells between life and death'?" He suddenly felt regretful in his heart. , if he knew how to directly transform the soul into a magic spell at that time... then I'm afraid he wouldn't have to die once.

After a moment of engine sound, the position of the aircraft was lifted to the overtime surface by the mechanical device, and the continuous rain instantly blurred the glass portholes, covering Xia Lan's vision in ecstasy.

I don't know how long this spring rain will last, but it is said that Rem Billiton will continue to rain for a long time. Is this really a "good thing" for the three senior sea descendants?
……

After clearing and raining for a while, the aircraft arrived at Rem Billiton's territory and stopped outside a small mining city with a Rhodes Island resident.

The straight-line distance between this city and the ruins is about 100 kilometers, but because the local area is mountainous, if you walk along the road, it is about [-] kilometers away, so there is no need to go far away from there——

——Now everyone with a radius of several hundred kilometers knows that a mysterious and powerful relic has been discovered here. Organizations large and small want to come here to get a share. It is said that the two giants, Raytheon Industries and Rum Billiton Mining Company, have The fact that someone was sent here shows the importance attached to it.

Rem Billiton is a country where mining is the mainstream industry. There are many minerals here, and many large and small mining organizations have been born. Many local small towns also make a living from mining, and they drive villages built on mine carts to search for them. resource.

But in terms of the number of various messy organizations, they have reached the point where they can be seen everywhere, and large mine carts walking loosely can be seen everywhere in the wasteland.

Therefore, while mining, looting often occurs, and Xia Lan doesn't pay much attention to how to deal with it. It is nothing more than fighting and negotiating.

Oh, by the way, there are a lot of rabbits here... that is, Custer is very... very, very, very much.

And the cultural atmosphere here also makes people feel very different.

For example, a certain city is called "Steel Carrot City", which is one of the top cities in this country;

For example, a specialty product includes "canned radish" and "watermelon cake"...

Oh, by the way, there is still half a rabbit's head on the representative icon of this country!

……

After meeting several Custer operators in the station and getting the latest information, the three of Xia Lan had a lunch with local characteristics and set off again.

Xia Lan opened the container, drove out her car from inside, loaded the suitcases of three people in the newly added hanging area, and then sat in the driver's seat first.

Then Skadi jumped up with a plop, and then the Ghost Shark...

The ghost shark saw that its rear half was resting on the metal pole, and its legs were slightly clamped on the body, and it squeezed forward before nodding in satisfaction.

Xia Lan, who was forced to rub several centimeters forward, turned black, but she still asked directly, "Are you sitting still?"

Two pairs of arms reach up to his waist, one pair from the master of something soft and majestic at the back, and one pair from the ghost shark sitting at the back - Skadi's arms are wrapped, and the ghost shark's fingers are folded.

"Okay~!" Skadi and Ghost Shark replied in unison.

"It always feels a little weird..." He muttered in his heart and started the engine.

The anti-gravity floating system is activated, load: 70% - please try to avoid excessively high-intensity direction-changing movements.

As the car body floated up steadily, he also activated the propulsion system, slowly passed through the roads of the towing workshops, drove out of the city, and entered a higher gear.

Because it is suspended near the ground, it is not affected by those messy ground potholes, so Xia Lan compressed the 70-kilometer journey to more than 10 kilometers, and arrived outside a city near the ruins in [-] minutes. .

This area is an entire mountainous and hilly area, with quite a few large mining pits, and the location of the ruins is the interior of a mountain rich in metal elements.

Looking from a distance, the vicinity of the mine's entrance has been completely blocked, even the cordon has been stretched for several kilometers, and there are still a large number of base vehicles parked nearby.

From Skadi's perspective, Xia Lan could see that there was a swaying light in the hole, flickering, as if someone was thinking about it.

According to the newspaper, there are currently four largest groups here: Raytheon Industries, Rum Billiton Mining Company, Black Steel International, and a local business group that has sprung up in recent years, referred to as Ama.

In terms of armed forces alone, Black Steel International must be the most powerful, and they are armed groups;

Raytheon Industry, on the other hand, takes high-tech equipment as the leading force, and is the hope of flexible cracking relics;
Although mining companies are slightly inferior in weapons and technology, they have a major advantage in the official industry and can clamp down on all other organizations by themselves;
And the last mysterious AMA... is currently lobbying among other small organizations, and seems to be inviting others to join them, and the apparent purpose does not seem to be to get a share of the ruins.

And in the end, it is this small and medium-sized mobile city that has dug through the mountain and discovered the ruins, but has not blocked the good news. It is expected to have a population of only 3 to [-] and no tourism industry. Continued to be in a state of high pressure operation for a long time...

Although it is said that so many people have come and can make a fortune from it, the wishes of the locals seem to be more about not wanting to get involved in this troubled water.

"Should I live here, or go back to the station after looking around?" Xia Lan asked, asking the question to the two super civilized players behind him.

"But there is no place to live here, right? Didn't you all know before you came here, the city here is already full of people." Skadi replied doubtfully.

But the Ghost Shark at the end had a flash of inspiration in his heart and asked, "Are you planning to build a place for yourself?"

"That's right." Xia Lan nodded and said, pointing her fingers, "At present, I can make everything except fabrics. For beds, I can make colloidal water beds. For energy, I can rub them with my hands. For the houses themselves, I can make them." directly made."

"The only problem..." As he spoke, he raised his neck, looked around and said, "The problem of eating is still quite a big problem. You can't eat delicious food if you live in the wild."

"How can that be done!" Skadi was reluctant, and even the Ghost Shark, who originally proposed to live in the wild, became somewhat resentful, and said in a weak mosquito voice: "How about... let's go to the city first to see if there are any ghost sharks. Are there any vacant rooms?"

Seeing that the two companions both voted against, Xia Lan could only surrender with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go to the city and have a look before we talk, if it's really not possible, you can borrow money from ordinary citizens. .”

……

After that, after countless rounds of weird and envious looks from the front desk lady, the hotel owner, and passers-by, Xia Lan and the three still couldn't find any housing, as if they were about to sleep on the street.

"I knew it would be the whole base vehicle." Xia Lan sighed helplessly, and turned to consider setting up a camp.

During the period of walking in the city, I can see quite a lot of temporary camps, and various temporary houses are spread out one after another. In fact, it is reasonable for them to find a place to build a nest.

But this weather... It started to rain again after three o'clock in the afternoon. Although he had activated the water avoidance spell, it was still quite uncomfortable.

But it's a pity that the two ancestors around me seemed to be completely unwilling to compromise before they came to "the dead end", at least they were still unwilling to live in a dilapidated house and eat bad food before dark.

And just when Xia Lan was thinking about finding a residential house, Skadi and the ghost shark looked back in one direction in unison—a few seconds later, a boy with his hands up came from the narrow alley. He stepped out, his face full of fear.
