I really only stop

Obviously thinking of something, Cocoa's eyes became a little weird.

Decided!After you go out, you must tell the holy lady about this person's arrogance and paranoia. As a knight, I absolutely cannot allow——

"No. 7 Sky City Themis is ready."

A clear and flat voice suddenly resounded around, and the next moment, a beautiful woman holding a golden balance, who was so exquisite that she couldn't find a single flaw, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and slowly made a perfect to Lu Xi Bow ceremony:

"I am the control center of No. 7 Sky City Themis. I welcome you here, Commander of Osiris."

Cocoa:

"..."

"..."

"Eh?!?!?!"

PS: (→)

Chapter 468 Praise the Modeling Brother!

...Unexpectedly, it really came out.

Looking at the phantom figure in front of him with some astonishment, Lu Xi scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

Unlike Nova, who is full of technology, but the key parts are blocked by the white light, Themis in front of her looks more [realistic]-the specific performance is that she is wearing a plain white robe, and the clothes collide with each other. Very well done.

When bowing to Lu Xi, Themis' loose white robe drooped naturally, and the scenery inside was also very real.

It can be seen from this that the programmer brother who modeled for her is definitely not just the kind of bastard who only cares about the appearance and abandons it, and the interior is blank.

Even if no one else can see, still honestly grooming every part, what kind of spirit is this?This is responsible craftsman spirit!

Praise the modeling brother, praise Newton!

"Well, get up."

Knowing that this kind of AI creature is a pseudo-Two-dimensional creature that can only be seen but not touched, after silently expressing respect to the modeling brother with admiring eyes, Lu Xi coughed dryly:

"What should I call you more appropriate? The control center also has its own name?"

"Return to the Commander of Osiris, Themis's control center is not designed like that."

Unlike Nova, who is full of girlishness, Themis, who looks more mature, has a gentle and stable temperament:

"If you want to find a [name] to call me, please use the name [Themis] directly."

"Okay, Themis."

Lu Xi nodded kindly, just about to continue to gather some information, when he felt his clothes being gently pulled:

"Lu Xi, what is this thing you called out? Why do you call it out when you know how to call it? Why do you feel like you know each other?"

It's no wonder that Cocoa asked so many questions in succession. In fact, the head of the holy spear user girl was about to explode due to too many questions.

Obviously, the people around him should be the first time to come to the Holy Light Trial just like him, but when he was at a loss like a headless chicken, Lu Xi seemed to know everything about it and advanced the progress.

In this case, doesn't it appear that I am like a mob?Obviously His Holiness the Pope sent me to protect him!

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you later."

Giving a consoling look to the scrambled Holy Spearman, Lu Xi looked at Themis again:

"Hello, Themis. Please tell us about the general situation of this sky city."

"As you wish, Your Excellency Commander Osiris."

Slightly bowed, Themis's smile was still so perfect:

"No. 7 Sky City Themis originally belonged to the Floating Kingdom, but was temporarily separated from the jurisdiction of the Floating Kingdom due to [Operation Code Tinder], and sank into the ground before 11452. facility, which operates independently to this day."

underground?Are we going underground now?

Lu Xi subconsciously looked up at the sky, except for the artificial light source, the sky simulated by something unknown was indeed somewhat illusory.

It's clearly a city in the sky, but it sinks into the ground like now... It feels like there are more and more mysteries.

"Your Excellency, Commander of Osiris."

While Lu Xi was observing the surrounding situation, Themis on the side took the initiative to ask:

"What is your purpose for coming to Themis, No. [-] Sky City this time? Investigation? Communication? Or bring the latest [Order]?"

"...It's an investigation."

After thinking about his purpose of coming here, Lu Xi asked:

"Themis, have you heard of the term [Holy Light Trial]?"

"Data retrieval... sorry, no."

After a flash of data, Themis shook her head apologetically:

"A total of 36 results related to the keyword [Holy Light] have been collected in the database of the Themis control center, and none of them are similar to the term you just mentioned."

"Only 36?"

Not caring that Themis failed to give the result she wanted, Lu Xi became interested in another part of her words instead.

Holy Light is also one of the power systems that can attack and defend, and has a powerful effect on healing. Why is there only 36 results related to this in Themis' database?

Unreasonable, this is as inconceivable as not finding rice and wheat in the crop encyclopedia.

"I think, during the period before Themis sank into the ground, Holy Light wasn't very popular."

When Lu Xi was puzzled, the holy spear girl gently moved to his ear and reminded in a low voice:

"The adventurer system that was born ten thousand years ago is already a relatively new power system, and the birth of Holy Light is only a little earlier than the adventurer system. If you count the time, this 'Themis' knows It is understandable that there is less information—but why does such a place appear in the holy light trial of the Holy See?"

"I don't know. What is certain now is that it is very likely that we are the only two who encountered such a strange situation."

Also responding to the girl's inquiry in a low voice, Lu Xi shook his head:

"You may not know the origin of this place. As Themis said, this place is one of the sky cities in the floating kingdom ten thousand years ago. It is a product of the [Glorious Age]. If everyone can come here, it is impossible for the Holy See not to know the situation here."

When Sky City Osiris broke down on the outskirts of Rhine, Uncle Faron called the high-level officials of the empire and the Holy See to help.And looking at the performance of Bishop Sutton, he is obviously also feeling fresh and surprised by the creation of ten thousand years ago.

If there is a sky city inside the Holy See, how can he express his amazement at the similar Osiris?

"...In other words, the unlucky ones are only the two of us."

After understanding the current situation, even using the Holy Spear to calm the girl's heart, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed:

"Before we were still confidently saying 'this trial must be very simple', it seems that if you violate the knight's [humility] character requirements, you will indeed be punished by heaven!"

"What nonsense to say to a fool's frustration."

Lu Xi immediately rolled his eyes at Cocoa:

"There is no divine punishment. On the contrary, this is an [opportunity] that no other subjects have encountered, and even if they encounter it, they would not be able to get it."

A question mark appeared on Cocoa's head: "Opportunity? Where is it?"

"Of course it's in my hand."

Shaking the commander's beacon in his hand, Lu Xi decided to offer some encouragement to the stubborn Holy Spearman:

"You just saw that due to some special reasons, I have a lot of authority here, and this is our exclusive [opportunity]—think about it, if someone else came here, they might call out here Is it the boss?"

"Hmm...Although I don't quite understand it, it seems to make sense!"

Taking a peek at Themis, the control center respectful here, Cocoa's little head also slowly turned around:

"In other words, if we are only one door away from the harvest, the key to open the door is now in our hands?"

"That's exactly the case, not to mention, exploring this long-lost relic is already a very interesting thing."

Blinking at Cocoa, Lu Xi turned around and said to Themis who had been obediently waiting:

"I already understand the general situation. Next, please take us for a walk around."

Facing Lu Xi's request, Themis naturally smiled and nodded:

"Yes, please come with me."

Chapter 469 The Law of Immortality

There is no trace of human activities in the huge and empty city.Walking on the tidy but lifeless street, the only sounds in my ears are my own and Cocoa's footsteps.

—Themis has no footsteps.

Unlike the situation in Sky City Osiris, walking on the streets of Themis, the feeling of dilapidated and dead surroundings is particularly obvious.

The original bright wall paint has crumbled and peeled off with the years, exposing the gray substrate underneath.The glass windows on the street side did not know what happened, and they were scattered into pieces and scattered on the ground.The street trees on both sides of the road, due to lack of maintenance, can only twist and grow towards the only light source here—the artificial sun in the sky. From a distance, it looks like a dying person stretching out his dry arms towards the sky.

"Lu Xi, it's kind of scary here."

Unconsciously, she moved closer to Lu Xi, and Cocoa whispered:

"Is the [Osiris] you mentioned also so desolate?"

"No, Osiris once suffered a destruction, and it was restored because of the efforts of the control center Nova to rebuild. Although it is not as prosperous as it was then, the various infrastructures are intact."

Lu Xi shook his head lightly, raised his foot and stepped over the stop sign that fell casually on the road:

"It's different here. If I'm not wrong, all the buildings here are still the same as they were ten thousand years ago. They have not experienced any attacks, nor have they been repaired. Themis just let time wash away, and finally left behind this result."

If you use "the gemstone that returned to its glory back in time" to describe Osiris at that time, there is no doubt that Themis at this time is "the original specimen that has been broken by wind and rain".

The strangest thing is that it is understandable that Osiris was completely destroyed by the black flames. Why is there no trace of human beings in Themis, where everything is kept as it is like a specimen?

Neither the portrait nor the clothes, not even the [corpse] was seen.

It seems that Themis has been a ghost town since ten thousand years ago.

... Let's ask them one by one.

"Themis."

"I am here, Commander of Osiris."

Looking at Themis who stopped in front of him and waited for instructions, Lu Xi said in a deep voice:

"Summary to me the records of Sky City Themis for thousands of years in a simple way."

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander of Osiris."

He bowed respectfully. Unlike Nova, Themis never had vague statements such as [DATA EXPUNGED] [DATA DISAPPIED] in his narrative:

"Because of the urgent need for research, Sky City sank into a safe underground before 11452, the absolute isolation cover was fully deployed, the factual secret room conditions were achieved, and all information and material exchanges with the outside world were completely isolated, and then the implementation of [Operation Code· The content indicated by Tinder】.”

"Before 11447, because there was no communication with the outside world for 5 years, the negative emotions that the center could not understand spread in the sky city Themis, but finally returned to calm under the guidance of the leader at that time."

"11440 years ago, the negative emotions caused by the extreme lack of materials broke out again in Themis. After careful discussion and research, twelve top talents accepted alchemy, magic, and holy magic transformation, and transformed their life forms After evolving once, continue to complete the content required by [Operation Code Tinder]."

"11422 years ago, after 30 years of research, the goals of [Operation Code Tinder] were all completed, a new social order was established, and relevant information was written into the database of Sky City Themis, waiting for the outside world at all times. support and acceptance."

"11322 years ago, no one answered."

"11222 years ago, no one answered."

"11122 years ago, no one answered."

"Due to the long-term lack of sufficient resources for maintenance, the life support system of Sky City Themis has suffered irreparable damage. According to the judgment, the center has given up the management of facilities with low priority and concentrated all resources to maintain [Operation Code Tinder] related equipment."

After a pause, Themis looked at Lu Xi and Cocoa with joy:

"After 11452 years of isolation from the world, just today, Sky City Themis has finally welcomed a new visitor. Please allow me to ask you again. Excuse me, are you here to take over [Operation Code Tinder? ]'s?"

——How does this make people answer.

Lu Xi frowned imperceptibly.

Although Themis's narration was detailed enough, there are still many doubts in it.

conduct experiment】?What experiment?Why open some isolation cover, even when supplies are scarce?

After all, I don't even know what this [Operation Code Tinder] is going to do. What if I answer 'yes, that's right', and then Themis asks me to provide evidence such as a key password?

"Sorry, that's not what we're here for."
