Tyra, your ancestors are back!

"Dandlai, why is 45 fighting with that little guy again...?"

Alice, who could see the situation in the distance, but didn't know what they said, looked at Dan Delai, who had divided her thread all the way for 45, hoping to get an answer.

"Uh... that girl from Successor Civilization just mocked Miss 45's breast size..."

"...remarkably brave."

After a short silence, Alice looked at the Sarkaz girl who was beaten again in the distance and gave an evaluation.

Chapter 7 Never Overheating Plasma

"It hurts, it hurts - it's really dark, you, didn't I just mock you..."

In the aisle of the aerial city, the Sarkaz girl grinned and rubbed her scalp and forearm. A bulge could be seen on her small head, and there were quite a few bruises on her forearm...

"what?"

In a sense, Miss UMP45, who doesn't know each other, is fighting at the moment, or mentioning this Sarkaz girl who didn't win the fight and said that she can't lose. When she heard her complaint, Miss 45 immediately frowned——

"It's obvious that you're too good at it—I've already pulled back my strength. For soldiers of our era, this is at best the level of a massage."

The dark golden pupils of the humanoid girl were full of disgust, as if it wasn't me who confiscated it, it was you who were too stupid.

"Huh? We Sarkaz are famous for their good health! We are so taller than those Sakotas who have thin arms and thin legs and can only use guns!!"

The raptured Sarkaz girl made a speech like a knight of the race....

"That's right, that's right... What kind of thing do you need to have that other weapon on your waist? Is it as good as those Sakotas?"

Look at the sandbag-sized iron fist of a certain humanoid girl who kept her own. The Sarkaz girl wisely decided not to worry about whether the Sarkaz's physique is good... Anyway, it is definitely not as good as the opponent's fist.

"Let's not mention what Sakota and Sarkaz are... You mean what we have?"

"That's right, this thing looks very similar to those Sakota guns. But it looks a little different...I don't see anything like an origin stone circuit?"

"What kind of weapon is this from your pioneer era?"

Ms. V, who turned into a curious baby, curiously poked a pistol-shaped "gun tool" on UMP45's thigh.

"Don't poke that thing - there's a plasma pistol on the leg, although the Archon made sure it didn't overheat when he dispensed it to us..."

"What if it's too hot?"

V asked curiously.

"It's okay as we specified. If this thing blows up, it won't break my defense—you will definitely disappear, the kind that will be vaporized on the spot."

45 showed a nasty smile at the Sarkaz girl, who was so frightened that she immediately retracted her hand that was about to touch the plasma pistol.

"So what is the effect of firing this plasma weapon? Is it the same as those Sakota guns shooting out a single pointy head?"

"...?"

The members of the 404 team glanced at the girl who called herself Sarkaz in front of them with strange expressions——

"What year is it, why are there still people using live ammunition weapons???"

The straight-talking UMP9 immediately made his own complaints——

"A toy gun in the civilian market?"

"If you fire the pistol on Sister 45's lap, you can just treat it as a big fireball—it's just that the temperature of this big fireball is a little bit high."

The 9 after complaining also answered the doubts of the Sarkaz girl.

"How tall?"

"How high? Look up at the sun above your head...something like that."

"Ghost...this thing is your secondary weapon? Then what are you holding in your hand, will it be more powerful?"

The Sakaz girl, who actually had no feeling for the sun above her head, just sighed and quickly turned her attention to the main weapons of the Tactical Dolls.

Xingji, who has a deep understanding of astronomy, looked at the plasma weapon on UMP45's leg in shock....

"Hey, Xingji, what's wrong with you - what's so special about that pistol?"

A Custer woman who was traveling with Li Boli touched the blue-haired girl with her hand, calling her consciousness back...

"If the other lady isn't bluffing us... the weapon on the gray-brown haired Forerunner's leg can be made at least 5000 degrees Celsius.."

"That is, one shot can vaporize any known protective armor currently on Terra..."

"...Uh, what about D32 steel?"

The Custer girl dressed as a scholar of the Yan Kingdom thought about it and found the hardest material she could imagine...

"D32 steel is useless, Black Rabbit..."

Xingji shook his head and vetoed the conjectures of his companions——

"This kind of temperature... I'm afraid that any substance will be vaporized on the spot - maybe the pioneers have some special protective measures, but for the current Terra, being hit by that kind of thing is no different from an instant kill. ...."

"Who knows—at least for now, these pioneers are actually quite talkative."

"No...I'm not worried about this—the pioneers from that era, as elders, as long as they are relatively polite, they will naturally not do anything to us younger generations... After all, we are nothing but children to them..."

"What I'm worried about is that someone dug up these things from the ruins of the forerunners... and used them in wars - the gunriders of Lateran think you've heard of them like the black rabbit... and these are more terrifying, ancient forerunners If our weapons of war flow into the land of Terra..."

"You don't have to worry about that—Visitor."

Xingji's doubts were interrupted by HK416 on the side. The latter glanced at the scholar in front of him with his emerald green pupils, and after a pause, he slowly explained——

"Our weapons require strict authentication - we call it a branding system, and only armed and authorized personnel who are recorded in a large database can be unlocked and used."

"Weapons that are activated without authorization will be locked, no different from a large brick. As for violent dismantling, don't even think about it...I think 45 has told you what happens to these weapons if they break out of control. "

"Is that so... I was worrying too much——"

Xingji nodded and breathed a sigh of relief...

"No, it's a good thing to have doubts—in terms of your doubts, you are the kind of person who cares about the direction of the world and civilization, which is good."

"The Consul will like people like you... Even if your doubts are meaningless, at least it means that you care about this world-this will allow the Consul to learn more stories belonging to this era from your mouth."

"Uh... well, besides, this lady, may I ask, what should I call the consul?"

Staring in a daze, Xing Ji raised another question of concern.

"The Archon's name is Iris Shalekh, also known in our time as the Immortal."

"As for you, you only need to call that lady Ms. Alice or the Consul, although that lord will probably ask you to remove your honorific title later, after all, she doesn't like this kind of address."

"However, you'd better be respectful when meeting for the first time—we'll be meeting adults soon."

Chapter 8 The City of Eden

【Look up, even if—the starry sky has long been covered by the [Sky Curtain] and has become the false sky they spread by word of mouth. 】

When the visitors were about to enter the parlor where the consul was, led by the tactical dolls, there seemed to be a voice telling them in their minds——

In this never-falling city floating above the low-earth orbit, visitors from later generations subconsciously looked up at the starry sky above the empty island——

...the stars are shining like objects in the palm of your hand, within your reach.

【The forerunners have also looked up at the starry sky like this... how magnificent. 】

A small question or exclamation arises in the hearts of the visitors, and this question and exclamation will also awaken another seed of desire...

"To conquer everything you can conquer, to dominate everything you can control... This is the mission that civilization has been given since its birth..."

The calm female voice interrupted everyone's daydreams and brought their thoughts back to reality.

A mature woman with a white ponytail is sitting on the main seat in the living room at the moment, and she is the first to greet the visitors. Her strange purple pupils contain the majesty precipitated by time and look at the visitors in front of her——

"Welcome to the Golden Garden. In your civilization, it has probably become a kingdom of heaven in lost myths and legends."

"Of course, you can also call it another name - the City of Eden"

The ancients were buried in the dark history and stepped towards the successors——

"Meeting for the first time, unknown visitor, or...our successor—I am the consul of the Joint Council, Alice Saleh."

"Uh...you...how are you? Miss Alice?"

Being picked up by UMP45, V who was walking in the front and the white-haired consul looked at each other, and greeted Ms. Alice with a stiff expression.

"No need to be too polite, just find a seat and sit down, guests from afar."

The white-haired consul looked at the Sarkaz girl with a slight forehead, then looked at the other people behind her...

"Then, please take your seats..."

“…”

And the members of the 404 team who watched everyone's movements a bit stiff and sat down made a bet on the team's chat channel——

【Dandlei, Dandelai—do you think this group of people can hold on for a few minutes this time? 】

In the chat room, UMP9 also liked a certain artificial intelligence that was also hanging in the channel.

[According to previous records, non-consul visitors who had private talks with Consul Alice usually slipped out within half an hour for various reasons—and for various reasons. 】

[Including mentally retarded reasons such as clothes being confiscated in the rain, as well as insane reasons such as going to kindergarten to pick up children even though they are single——]

【So the Commander is so scary....? 】

416 muttered something in the chat room.

【According to the investigation afterwards.... half of them were really urgent, and the other half felt some kind of palpitation and panic after looking into the eyes of Consul Alice. 】

[...The eyes are the windows of the soul——I remember the Commander said so, those guys may have been affected by the psychic energy that the Commander accidentally revealed...Although the Commander's purple eyes are very beautiful, they are always It's kind of scary to stare at...]

UMP45 gave such an explanation in the communication channel.

[If this is the case, then I think this meeting will proceed normally——]

[Hey, Dandelai, you have to bet that these guys won't be scared out like those guys before...]

[After 10 years of dormancy, Mr. Consul, apart from the increase in power, his control over psionic energy has also been greatly improved-if it is really just unintentionally leaked psionic energy, it only means that the consul in the past has great control over this power. Strength proficiency is not enough. 】

[As you know, Consul Alice was a civil servant like Dr. Mebius in the previous parliament, and did not pay attention to combat. 】

[Seriously... what kind of civil servants are the two of them. 】

UMP9 complained at the end of the chat channel.

-------------------------------------

While the members of Team 404 were discussing Ms. Alice and her guests with Dan Delai, the meeting with Ms. Consul was also proceeding smoothly...

It would be even better if this little guy with horns on his head could be more peaceful. Looking at the Sarkaz girl who gradually got used to the atmosphere and became active again, the white-haired consul narrowed his eyes helplessly.

"Golden court...golden court—but I see no gold."

“This Lord Forerunner—is the name of this city considered a scam?”

The naive Sakaz girl, who couldn't turn her head around, immediately asked her first question about the name of this city.

“…”

Alice was taken aback by the strange attention of the Sarkaz girl, and there was a slightly dumbfounding expression on her face——

"The reason why this place is called the Golden Court is not that she is made of gold... the name is just to commemorate the time when the city was built—"

"An era as magnificent, bright and dazzling as gold."

"In that era, the forerunners once walked among the stars - right?"

When the Consul’s voice fell, a female voice with expectation and curiosity followed, with a certain desire for the unknown—the girl called Xingji inserted into the conversation between Sarkaz and Alice, and she expected Looking at the ancient in front of him, waiting for the answer...

"Wandering...? No, no... At that time, we, all the stars in the universe were in our palms."

"Things in the palm of your hand..."

The blue-haired girl opened her mouth slightly, showing a longing look... Then she suddenly thought of something, and looked at Alice with some excitement——

"In that case.... Your lord consul should have knowledge of astronomy from your era...?!"

"nature...."

At the same time, the white-haired consul showed an interested look on his forehead, looking at the blue-haired and blue-eyed scholar girl in front of him——

Compared with the Sarkaz girl, who was considered a bear child and gave her a little headache, the scholar in front of her seemed to attract the consul's interest at this moment...
