Sword of Daybreaker

  Merita didn't hear what Gao Wen was muttering, she just circled the "central area" of the tall towers for the last time, and then began to adjust the direction and fly towards the direction when she came.

"Our time is limited," she said with regret. "The scale of this'homeport' is too amazing, even if everyone can fly like me, we must investigate the sky above the homeport within twelve hours. It's not easy to mention again, let alone the intricate underground structures and many blocked facilities and dangerous areas."

  "Go back first," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "Since the spacecraft is cruising according to a fixed procedure, we can send more investigators to explore here. But to be honest, it makes me feel unreliable..."

   "Not really practical?" Melita tilted her head slightly, "What do you mean?"

"'Sentinel system', this home port and that spaceship are still part of the sentry system in essence. We can't control it, but can only follow the spaceship that cruises regularly, but maybe when this system will Other changes have occurred, such as the spacecraft changing its cruise program...I don’t like this kind of uncontrolled situation, especially there is still an out-of-control'sentinel' behind all this."

"I think I understand your concerns," Melita said in a low voice, "but this is a problem we have to face. There are so many things beyond the imagination of mortals in our world, and the legacy of the sailors is one of them. One, this advanced civilization... they once saved the planet, but the huge machines they left behind are becoming more and more terrifying and dangerous for us today, especially these machines are now experiencing problems... you know Huh? This reminds me of a holographic story from Tarrond a long time ago..."

   "Holographic story?"

"Similar to your magic movie, but with a little more immersion," Melita explained casually. "That story is about the end of the world after the end of the mouse, and a group of mice living in the depths of the industrial zone become The new owners of the world, they live in a huge old factory, and treat the automatically running machines in the factory as gods. As time goes by, the various equipment in the factory are aging, small and weak rats. We frightened and faced the increasingly abnormal giant machines every day, thinking of various ways to please them, or'repair' them, and even lit incense to try to communicate the'machine spirit'. However, the machines were still aging and Collapse, in the eyes of the mice, the factories, their entire'world', is about to usher in the end, the end of the world after the end of the world..."

She turned her neck and turned her head: "It's actually a very old-fashioned horror spoof story, but I like to collect this kind of outdated old holographic disk, but unfortunately all of my holographic disks are gone, otherwise I have to pull it. Look...Talrond created a lot of good things in those ancient times."

Hearing Melita's chattering, Gawain was only thinking about it for a long time, until the horizon of the steel earth appeared in the distance, and the crown of the giant tree of reincarnation towered like a mountain at the end of the field of vision, and he seemed to be Slowly speaking to himself: "We are not rats."

  Merita was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone was with a faint smile: "Yes, we are not mice, and we will not be mice."

Gawain and Melita returned to the wreckage area of ​​the giant tree of reincarnation together, successfully reunited with Amber, Victoria and others waiting here, and saw Daniel and Mary who had just returned from exploring the depths of the wreck. After everyone gathered , He told everyone the details and speculations that he and Melita had seen in the sky.

"...The above is what Melita and I saw," Gawain said slowly, looking at Amber and others gathered in front of him in front of the cabin left by Sister Ferna. "Now I can confirm. This home port was originally supposed to have six spaceships...or warships, but now five of them and their corresponding port maintenance facilities have been destroyed, mostly because of the system conflicts that occurred after the back tide pollution."

Melita on the side nodded: "I guess it was not done instantaneously when the back tide polluted this home port. The sentry system has also made fierce resistance, and it is very likely that it will self-destruct if the resistance fails. However, everything was too late at the time. The out-of-control mind has seized too much authority, so that the main structure of the home port itself and a spaceship have been preserved intact... Now all the'normal parts' in the sentry system have been out of control. Destroyed completely."

   Gao Wen nodded silently, recognizing Melita's judgment, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

When he first learned the truth about the "Sentinel", he actually had some hope left in his heart. He hoped that there was still room for salvation in this ancient set of sailors' legacy, and hoped that there would still be some useful things left in the sentry system. For example, the subsystems that were cut out at critical moments, but the shocking wrecks in other ports made him have to dispel all illusions... The sentry system is over, and the out-of-control mind destroyed all the uninfected parts of this system. What is left is the "toxic shell" that has been completely eroded by the tide.

The new truth was so shocking that no one at the scene spoke for a while, but after a few seconds, Amber could not help but break the silence: "In fact, this is a good thing, the sentry is out of control. At first I killed five-sixths of my own spacecraft, and also blew up the corresponding ports and maintenance equipment. It was equivalent to hitting myself half to death with one punch. Even if it restarts the spacecraft one day, we have to deal with it. It's not even an entire fleet..."

Amber’s thoughts are always so optimistic, and her heartless look does make people a little more relaxed, but Victoria, who is always stern next to her, extinguishes the half-elf’s enthusiasm with cold facts: "The situation is really Is there any change? For the current mortal countries, it’s not much different whether the main battleship left by the civilization of the sailor level is one or six, and compared with that spaceship, this’ 'Homeport' may be the most threatening force for the sentry. With our current technology, even if this homeport is placed here without resistance, we may slowly demolish it for thousands of years..."

Amber suddenly opened his mouth and stopped speaking. Modil on the side seriously thought about the technological gap between this "homeport" and today's mortal civilization, and sighed: "Anyway, I can't beat it. …I can't beat it if I leave it still."

  As soon as these words came out, Gawain and Amber immediately looked at the great adventurer with strange eyes, which made Modilton a little confused: "Uh... Did I say something wrong?"

   "...that's not the case," Gawain touched his chin awkwardly, "I just heard you suddenly think of something else, don't care."

There was a rare awkwardness on Victoria’s face on the side. As a descendant of the Wilde family, she had also devoted herself to studying the "Modil's Travels" left by her ancestors. At this moment, she naturally thought of something disrespectful to her ancestors. Immediately coughed twice, and changed the subject while looking to the side: "Your Majesty, what shall we do next? Shall we continue to search the depths of the giant tree of reincarnation? Or start to explore the sailing facilities near the home port?"

"...Let's return," Gao Wen looked in the direction of the port and had to order to leave after hesitating. Although the secrets buried in the home port made him want to continue investigating here, the spacecraft that operated strictly in accordance with the procedures would not. Taking into account the willingness of a group of "stowaways", what's more, the amount of supplies they carry this time is also limited. "We can continue to send people to explore after this. We can discuss the sentinel after we go back. The spacecraft will not Wait for someone."

  Victoria bowed her head and led her orders: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then... what should I do here?" Amber looked left and right, her eyes finally fell on the small wooden house in front of her, her gaze crossed the open door, and looked at the flower vine in the hut and the powder on the flower vine. Little White Flower, "I mean...what should'they' do? Let's keep them here?"

In fact, there is no need for Amber to remind. Gao Wen did not forget the things in the cabin. He looked at the twin flowers in the cabin, as if seeing two pioneer mortals standing opposite him fighting against his own destiny after hundreds of years. Pioneer: "We shouldn't leave them here."

"But how should we take them away?" Mary didn't speak much in the team. Mary, who had been following faithfully, couldn't help breaking the silence at this time. Her voice seemed quite tense. She had already spoken from Carmel just now. After learning about the elven twins, the eyes when looking at the hut at the moment seemed a little sad, "I mean... if you pluck the flower or the flower vine, will it hurt them instead?"

  "...This is really a blind spot of my knowledge," Gao Wen sighed helplessly, "It would be fine if Amoen was here, he must be clear about this."

He shook his head, and just as his voice fell, it seemed that an invisible wind suddenly blew around. The bushes, flowers and plants clinging to the remains of the giant tree of reincarnation suddenly swayed slightly, and small rustling sounds from all directions Passed it over.

Everyone was immediately attracted by this change, and Gawain heard those rustling sounds coming from around, as if there was a voice deep in his mind that faintly sounded that was a strange and deep voice, distant but clear: " Take them away..."

  "Did you hear any sound?" Gao Wen immediately looked around and said in a low tone.

   "Sound? I didn't hear it." Amber suddenly pricked up her ears, and the pointed elves' long ears quivered in midair twice, "...nothing was heard."

   Gawain did not speak, but slightly frowned and looked in the direction of the cabin. The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind had disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, but Gawain did not think there was a problem with his judgment.

  He stepped towards the hut, Amber hurriedly followed by two steps behind: "Hey, what are you going to do?"

   "Bring them," Gawain stepped across the door, looking at the two small flowers blooming quietly on the vines, "I will give it to Ammon immediately after I go back."

   "Ah... but how do you take it?" Amber subconsciously drew out two of her baby daggers, but she was in trouble when she walked to Huateng, "Just drag it down or..."

  "Take the flower vines as completely as possible...strip it from the roots," Gawain glanced at the vines that seemed to merge with the pillars of the hut. "It shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Okay, it's not difficult to stump... OK." Amber muttered casually, and raised the dagger in his hand with a certain amount of attention, and began to quickly but delicately peel off the vines entwined on the pillars, and the two hanging at the end of the vines Xiaohua’s pink white flower trembled slightly with her movements, but she was silent but seemed to respond. Amber looked up and curled her lips during this period, "Hold it up, I will try not to hurt you... Hey, so stupid, I even chatted with Hua..."

Talking about homecoming, Amber’s movements are extremely fast, she stripped the flower vine from the pillar almost in the blink of an eye. At the same time, Victoria also walked into the house. She glanced at Amber’s "results" and stepped forward quite swiftly. She gathered the fallen flower vines together with the flowers, and at the same time was careful to avoid damage. Finally, she quickly drew a few runes on the coiled flower vines, and the heavy ice was instantly formed out of thin air, combining the two flowers with The vines are frozen together.

  "This can ensure that there will be no damage to the vitality," Victoria nodded to Gawain, "I often use this method to preserve all kinds of living things, from plants to nephews are very successful."

  Mudil, who followed and walked into the room, saw this scene and murmured to himself: "I seemed to be doing this back then..."

  Gawain nodded to Victoria, turned and walked outside: "Let’s leave, time is running out."

  The group of people walked out of the hut and was about to walk towards the direction of the harbor spacecraft, but Humber seemed to have discovered something suddenly, staring at a short distance: "Hey! Look!"

   Gao Wen immediately looked up and saw a bush not far away quickly withering in front of his eyes.

  A rustle came from around.

Everyone looked around, and where they entered their eyes, the vegetation, fruit bushes, and shrubs that grew from the remains of the giant reincarnation tree were all withering and declining at an alarming rate. With the cabin of Sister Ferna as the center, this giant tree The vitality remaining in the tree is quickly dissipating.

   is like a garden that has been stagnant for hundreds of years, quickly dying out in just a few minutes.

The nursery that Sister Ferna carefully took care of also withered, and the vines that grew around the nursery broke and fell down. The rustle of plants withered and fallen quickly became a piece, and in the center of all this, Amber finally blinked. He blinked his eyes: "All the vitality here is just for..."

  A huge sound of dry and cracked wooden structure came from not far away. The sound was like thunder, interrupting Amber’s words.

  "The crown of the tree is about to collapse!" Gao Wen quickly reacted, "Evacuate immediately!"

  Before he finished his words, Melita had already turned into a dragon in a brilliant light curtain, and her low and majestic voice sounded in the clearing: "All come up! Let's fly out!"

The loud noise of the fracture of the wooden structure continued to come from around, filling the entire port area like increasingly dense thunder, and the entire ground trembled slightly, and in the distance, the edge of the canopy of the giant tree of reincarnation faintly The smoke and dust of Yoo has begun to rise, and the fragile branch structure continues to collapse in everyone's field of vision!

  The dragon rises into the sky.
