Sword of Daybreaker

In Bertila’s secret laboratory, the atmosphere became tense and dull for a while. Bud did not speak for a long time, but kept reminiscing about the pair of elves in his mind. Using the internal public documents of the Theocracy Council and the information obtained from the system of the Death of All Things in the past, I tried to restore and piece together two pieces of information that might have suffered some kind of "contamination" in the Kingdom of God a thousand years ago. The trajectory of the elves in the past thousand years.

As an ordinary technician, his authority in the researcher sequence in the Thorin area is not high, but as a person who got rid of the stamp of the soul in the old age, he is a rare "successful experiment in the end of all things" Bud has his own place in the theocracy council.

After a long time, he raised his head and slowly said, "You said... After returning to this world, would she use some unknown technology to create a body for the purpose of'resurrecting' herself? Sisters, but because she wants to bring something from the kingdom of God to our world, and that thing needs a carrier..."

Having said that, he stopped, and after a few moments of thinking, he slowly said, "It's just one thing I don't understand. If the one who returned from the kingdom of God had suffered mental pollution and became a paranoid lunatic, Then this kind of pollution continued for a whole thousand years, how did she keep her rational thinking ability?"

Bertila looked into Bud’s eyes, and waited until the other party’s voice fell before saying in a low voice: "So I have a bolder guess, which is more creepy than your thoughts--

"The rebels of the year believed that the person who returned from the kingdom of God after the accident was one of the sisters Ferna and Leerna, and your guess is that the returned individual was polluted by the kingdom of God and tried to remove Some kind of dangerous existence is brought to this world, but what if... none of the Ferna sisters returned? Perhaps in that terrible accident, both of them had actually died on the other side of the border... "

Bud obviously hadn't thought about this direction before. Hearing Bertila's words at this time, his eyes widened instantly. After a while, he took a cold breath and said, "What was it that returned to this world?!"

Instinctively, he no longer uses personified words to describe the elven twins who returned to this world a thousand years ago.

"Yeah, what was it that returned to our world...this is what I am most worried about now," Bertila said solemnly, "but all my speculations are actually based on a little trivial clue-based on me The failure encountered in the attempt to bring Berna Breeze back to this world is not strong enough evidence, so I hope you can provide a little evidence to at least make my speculation more credible."

Bud shook his head a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, but it seems that I can't help much in this regard. Not only is my understanding of Sister Ferna far worse than you, but the only information I have is also It coincides with what you know. But I agree with all your speculations so far, and I think that no matter whether the evidence behind these speculations is sufficient, they should be reported immediately-even if the empire has not yet begun to counterattack the wasteland. It is also necessary for your majesty to raise the risk rating of Sister Ferna to prevent future losses."

Bertila nodded slowly: "Indeed, this is the only thing we can do right now."

For a while in the laboratory, Bud and Bertila seemed to be thinking about their own affairs. The only sounds that came from the surroundings were the nutrients flowing in various pipes and the subtle sounds of gas passing through the chamber. In the cultivation pod, Berna, who was still in a slow and confused state, was curiously observing the movement outside. She raised her hand and gently touched the direction of Bertila through the container shell. There seemed to be a little worried in her expression.

"Then I'll go back first," Bud said, "If I think of any information about Sister Ferna after I go back, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I express my gratitude in advance," Bertila nodded, and at the same time manipulated the fiber partition and the "leaf door" in the laboratory to open a path to the upper level, "I will stay here as an incarnation. Dealing with some things, I won’t send you off-after going up there will be another incarnation to take you to the traffic tunnel."

Soon, Bud left the laboratory. In this huge biochemical culture hall, only Bertila himself and one after another pod containers were in the growth stage. The lights in the distance gradually dimmed, and those surrounding The pods around the pillars also fell into darkness one by one, leaving only the light on the pillar in front of Bertila.

After a while, a bunch of bubbles suddenly rose from the container in which Berna was sitting. The elven girl floating in the biomass solution slowly turned her head towards the exit, and the vague sound came from somewhere above the pod. The sound of the vocal organs sounded low and vaguely like a dream: "Go away..."

"Yes, gone," Bertila said slowly and word by word. "His name is Bud. You met him many years ago."

Berna tried to remember, and her voice came from above the pod again: "Yes, there is an impression. It has been... many years?"

"Yes, for many years, many things have changed..." Bertila said softly, raising his hand on the transparent shell of the pod, "how do you feel now?"

Berna hesitated, and put her hand on the inner wall of the transparent shell, as if feeling the heat from Bertila's palm through this layer of biomass crystals-but Bertila's palm did not have heat, it was just a piece The low-cost incarnation, with the coldness of the wooden structure. The elf girl in the container thought slowly for two or three seconds before squeezing out a word: "Sleepy..."

"Would you like to sleep?" Bertila smiled, "It's good for you to sleep more."

"No," Berna shook her head slowly, and then looked at Bertila with a worried look, "You, anxiety, anxiety... I feel it."

Bertila was stunned for a moment, and then showed some helplessness: "Even you feel it? Well, it is understandable... After all, there are still some parts of our souls that are connected. This connection looks It looks like there is no way to get rid of...but I thought I had shielded my emotions very well."

"Elf, keen creature," Berna said slowly, as if there was some pride, "I can feel it."

Bertila was speechless for a while, but Berna said again after a while: "When... can I get out?"

"Not yet," Bertila shook his head. "Your body still can't survive in the outside world. I haven't solved the problem of the nervous system's self-collapse, and your soul needs some time to slowly adapt. Have a physical'feel'...I'm trying to change my mind recently and use some external magic patterns or magic effects to stabilize your situation. Give me some more time and I will definitely get it done."

Berna did not speak. For more than ten seconds, even Berthilla could not tell whether the elves in the container were thinking or had forgotten the current conversation. But ten seconds later, Berna's voice rang again. I got up: "I want to... go home."

Bertila was stunned. She looked at the elf in the container, and after a long time she broke the silence softly: "You will go home, you will go home... This time, I promise."

...

In the early morning, Veronica walked into Gawain’s study. As the light diffused, the whole room became brighter. Gawain looked up from the pile of documents he was processing, and he saw that he was guarded by the light. The "saint princess" felt an uplifting force being transmitted to her body through the holy light spreading all around, and a slight smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, it is very effective."

"This helps to relax the mind and repair the minor damage to the body after continuous work," Veronica said with a gentle smile. "You have not rested for a long time, Your Majesty."

"I will arrange a break for myself, but I'm afraid it's impossible these days. I can only combine work and rest as much as possible." Gawain shook his head, and then led the topic to business. "You have seen Solinburg's Did you send the internal documents?"

"Is the report submitted by Bertila?" Veronica nodded slightly, "Yes, I came after I read it."

"The speculation about Sister Ferna-Leerna, a creepy new view..." Gawain put down his pen and looked at the leader of the disobedience standing at the desk, the rising sun through the window Sprinkle it on the opponent's face, as if gradually blending with the escaping holy light, "I want to hear your thoughts."

"Very shocking-at the same time there is a certain amount of evidence and credibility, and we have failed to discover the suspiciousness and potential clues of this incident for so many years, which also shocked me," Veronica said without hesitation, "As the leader of the disobedience, perhaps I should reflect on our internal security system and the regular inspection process of personnel whether there is a problem, but given that the old disobedience organization has disintegrated, this work It can be put on hold for now."

Gao Wen was startled: "Is this your sense of humor?"

"Are you surprised? I'm also joking--especially when I need to adjust the atmosphere."

"Well, it's a good cold joke," Gawain waved his hand, "but now what we need more is to understand what happened to the pair of elves...Bertila's guess is creepy, but I have to admit it. Vigilant enough. The earliest information about the pair of elven twins came from you. Do you think... what Bertila said is possible?"

Veronica thought for a while, and said slowly: "First of all, I want to explain one thing-in the past, the affairs of Sister Ferna-Lerna did not attract the attention of the high-level rebels. On the contrary, we were This concern for a long time.

"Someone was sucked into the'other side' of the'boundary' in the accident. It is possible that they have come into contact with the edge of the kingdom of a certain god. It is very likely that they have been polluted. Then one of the individuals returned to our real world. The risks behind the incident are obvious. The rebels of the year may act recklessly and may have a lot of bold and crazy plans, but we are far more cautious than our crazy persistence when it comes to the'safety issues' involving gods.

"Sister Ferna was subjected to very strict observation and testing after the accident, including tests involving'divineness.' We used the eternal slate and the magical symbols of every sect in the world. , We used various methods to confirm whether they had symptoms of divine infestation, and checked their mental state-even until they returned to the Rebel Project and returned to the post in the laboratory, we followed them and observed them It still lasted for half a year."

Gao Wen had not heard Veronica mention the details of this aspect before, and he was a little surprised at this time. At the same time, he had to admit that this is indeed a very strict precautionary measure and a cautious response attitude, but this Instead, he frowned: "In other words, after such a rigorous inspection, you found nothing... You confirmed that Sister Ferna was not contaminated by the gods? There is no spiritual problem?"

"Of course there is a mental problem-they are obviously already schizophrenic, aren't they? I said that many of the rebels back then had some mental problems, but there is definitely no divine pollution," Veronica is very sure Said, "Even if there is a trace of pollution, they are unlikely to be allowed to return to work. In this regard, the rebels have a very complete management system."

Gawain did not speak for a while, but habitually tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers. Amid the slow tapping, it took him a long time to break the silence: "Seriously, you should verify Ferna. The sisters used the conditions in the laboratory to'create' the operation process of an elf body, and maybe they can find out some problems..."

"This is indeed an omission of our work back then, but frankly speaking, even if we verify this, I am afraid that nothing will be discovered," Veronica shook her head. "The main body of the rebellious plan back then was humans, especially bioengineering. Branches, including the "God evil" project, are all based on human templates, so our "verification" will mostly be based on human templates. In those days, we had not clearly realized the soul level of elves and humans. Different, and although the difference in the nervous system has been discovered, no one has ever conducted a live experiment in this area... This is against the tradition of the silver elves, nor does it meet the goal of the rebellious plan.

"Judging from the technical data available at the time, it was feasible to copy human bodies and manipulate them with foreign souls, so we ignored the problems behind the Ferna sisters."

Veronica paused here and looked into Gawain’s eyes: “After all, that was the world a thousand years ago — perhaps the technology of the Gondor Empire was more advanced than most countries today, but we still The limitations caused by the era of existence, and the discoveries and developments in some fields, only appeared after that."

"...You are right, it doesn't help to criticize the ancients," Gao Wen sighed softly, nodded helplessly-even though he himself was an "ancient" in the eyes of ordinary people, "I believe you treated Phil back then. A series of observations and tests conducted by Sister Na showed that there should be no divine pollution in their bodies...but their danger does exist. I don’t know what other things are trying besides the gods in the kingdom of God. Enter our real world, but in any case, it’s best not to cross this border..."
