Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 579 The lost diary quietly reappears
Although he didn't get the answer, Lauren still felt that he had touched a secret.

And the environment here... This exploration ship is indeed still running, but it seems that only certain basic functions are running.At least there were only emergency lights on in the passage, which was so dim that it felt depressing.

However, the deeper you go, the less impact the abyss has on people.After passing through several hatches, Lauren felt that he no longer needed any protective equipment.The environment here is obviously very suitable for human survival, and there may even be people living in it.

"Stop, there is energy reaction ahead."

"Tsk, don't tell me there's anyone else here."

"Not human."

Putting on the vision-enhancing goggles, Lauren looked forward.He didn't see anything that looked like a human being, but there was something floating and slowly moving over. He didn't know whether it was a machine or a living thing.

However, the women around him didn't seem to be too worried about their safety. Lauren didn't even feel any energy fluctuations on her body.She didn't even wear a complete protective suit, yet she dared to break into this unknown place without a plan.

This is what Lauren is most suspicious of.

"Okay, move on."

"What it is?"

"It may be a defense agency, don't worry about it."

Not right.

The sailing ship hit here so violently just now that it even opened a big hole in this giant exploration ship.If the ship's defense system is still working, it shouldn't be unresponsive to such an impact.But those floating objects just now seemed to be just executing a predetermined program, and they didn't seem to be intelligent at all.

So what exactly is that?
The black-haired and blue-eyed woman would not answer Lauren's questions, and there was an unspeakable sense of weirdness everywhere.Why did this crystallization of the technology of the sky city in the past sink into such an abyss by mistake?

"Tsk, what's wrong with this place..."

As Laurent was moving forward cautiously, his hand accidentally touched a mechanism on the wall.Although no traps or alarms appeared, several indicator lights lit up where he touched, as if he accidentally activated something.

"...be careful."

"It's not like I want to... huh?"

The terminal on his right wrist seemed to react a bit, and Lauren operated it a little, so that the image displayed on the terminal was projected directly into his eyes.He didn't know if the terminal was still being monitored, if not, then it made sense to do so.

"Record play...Hello, visitor. 』

Is this...information?
He didn't know how his terminal connected to the database here, but Lauren realized that this was an excellent opportunity to learn the truth.The woman walking in front showed no reaction to the fact that he received the message, indicating that she was not monitoring her terminal.

"We are the "Dawn" of Sky City's multi-world investigation team. In compliance with the resolutions of the Joint Council, we explore and collect information on the creations of unknown civilizations that have suddenly appeared recently.For the convenience of recording later, we designated it as the "Golden City". 』

The golden city?Wait a minute, is this the ship's logbook?

Lauren suddenly became nervous. This record clearly mentioned the name that he wanted to know very much, and it was actually named by someone here first.So is their sinking related to the so-called Golden Capital?Are they sinking into this abyss because they have mastered some ulterior secrets?

"This exploration voyage has received full support from all worlds. We have invited the famous adventurer Ophelia to join the expedition team. At the same time, the Saint of Heaven will also follow the expedition team. 』

Ophelia...this name definitely represents the dean of the Brave Academy.But her identity at that time was still an adventurer. Could it be that this was before the establishment of the Brave Academy?

It should have been 300 years ago that the Brave Academy officially started standardizing enrollment. The specific establishment date is of course earlier than this.Ophelia should have assumed the position of dean after the college was formalized, so Lauren estimated that this was at least 300 years ago.

If that legendary leader was still alive, he would probably be close to a thousand years old... This is the limit of the human race.

"This ship has a total crew of more than 700 people, and the total supplies can be used by the entire crew for about ten years.Based on preliminary surveys, we have initially determined that there is a complete defense system around the Golden City. 』

So what is the Golden Capital...

Lauren was so busy analyzing the information in her head that she even forgot to observe the situation ahead.The woman in front stopped for some reason, but he bumped into her as if he didn't notice anything.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

"...a little distracted."

Although the physical contact between the two people was not noticeable because of their clothes, Lauren clearly noticed that the other person seemed to stiffen for a moment.Was it his own contact that aroused her disgust, or was it...

"Wait a moment, let me try to extract the information here first."

There seems to be a console-like device in front of him. Although this does not look like a main control room where information is stored, this terminal probably still stores some data.However, Laurent was currently focused on the voyage log he had obtained, and did not consider these things at all.

"Sail the third standard day.Ophelia proposed to serve as a vanguard to investigate the situation when the ship comes into contact with the Golden City.This proposal was approved by the Saint of Heaven, and the two formed a team after a brief exchange of opinions. The inspection team affirmed this. 』

Ophelia, the Saint of Heaven...did these two people actually come into contact with the so-called Golden Capital?But this happened at least 300 years ago. Where should I find these two people now?

And according to the level above Ophelia's legend, the Saint of Heaven may have similar strength.It's just that for some unknown reason, the people of Heavenly Realm have never seemed to announce the existence of such a person in recent years.

"The tenth standard day of sailing.Because we entered an area without communication relays, we temporarily lost contact with the United Council. Although technicians have begun to put in relay devices, it is optimistically estimated that it will take at least thirty standards to restore communications in the future. 』

The black-haired, blue-eyed woman carefully fiddled with the ancient console, as if she had already connected to it.And Lauren's attention was not on her at all, so he didn't notice some of her small and strange movements.

Those beautiful and deep blue eyes seemed to be secretly watching Lauren's face all the time.
