Chapter 1,115 Good Omen
Sometimes I really feel that Qian Qian's mouth is so magical that it can't be more magical. Many things that seem to be in line with the scientific concept of development can be filtered through Qian Qian's logical circle and let her brain process it for you, and then say it out. At that time, even its own mother didn't recognize it. As I said before, no one can explain how our real world was twisted in Qian Qian's head and then popped out of her mouth. Yes, after she said one word, Sister-sama immediately lost her composure. The corner of her eye twitched and she knocked on Qian Qian’s forehead. As for Alaya—the angel sister was not at the scene, and she was still walking on the slope of the Angel Wall. Woolen cloth.
Alleria also paused obviously. The light on her body flickered on and off. I felt that the current Qianqian must be far from the Lady Vanna in her impression, so even it took her a few seconds to react. , flapped his wings slightly: "That's him. Lord Alaya passed through the Sky Tower when he left this world, and Odysseus is the designer of the core defense system of the Sky Tower. He knows that tower The core secret. And now, he is about to wake up..."
The projection in the center of the hall changed, showing a rugged and desolate mountainous area, with snow-capped mountains in the background. "This is the northern part of the continent, closer to the northern border. According to the information I collected, the residents of the northern border here are Most of them believe in an ancient spirit they call the 'Storm Giant'. This ancient spirit was the first to respond to the empire's orders, and his recovery progress is faster than others. According to the vague information sent back by the 'Storm Giant'. It It may be the incarnation of Odysseus. In this way, Odysseus is the first mysterious commander to awaken, which is good news. With the help of him and the Sky Tower system, the commanders will With a large number of awakenings in the next few days, our work will be completed quickly.”
Of course we don’t know any of the commanders of the Fifteen Days District of the old empire, but judging from Alleria’s description, this imperial officer whose name sounds like he came from ancient Greece was the mysterious Fifteen Days District back then. A general on the side, not only a high-ranking officer, but also a brilliant researcher and polymath. I still remember that the system designer of the Sky Tower has Alaya's name on it, and Odyssey is in charge of it. Design the defense components of the Sky Tower. In this way, he, like Alleria, should have been Angel Sister's assistant back then - this is strange to me. The two assistants seem to be more shrewd and capable than the other. How could they just follow a 250-year-old who can't even walk on flat ground?
"Please don't underestimate Lord Alaya's power," Alleria heard me murmuring, and said softly but firmly, "Although her personality is a little weird, her power is the strongest among all angels, at least. This is the case in the Fifteenth Heaven Zone, and she has extremely profound knowledge of Holy Light and Magic Energy. Now she just cannot use that information. With the information of the two Heaven Zones opening up to each other, you will soon know Alaya Your Excellency is of indispensable value to you..."
"I know, I know." I waved my hands dumbfounded. Alleria is indeed a nice person, but it's a pity that she is a bit too rigid, even more rigid than Tavel - at least Tavel is quite humane outside of scientific research ( Of course, we have to admit that Tavel's time "outside of scientific research" is basically negligible), while Alleria is always in a serious state, as if she has never learned how to write the word "joke". "I have never looked down upon Alaya. She even gave birth to a child for me..."
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and Lin Xue started to twist my neck: "Mu Mu, are you going to suck it to death with your mouth?"
I hurriedly pulled Xiao Qijing out of the sea of spirit: "I said this! I said this!"
Alleria's attention was focused on the pure white little girl who suddenly appeared out of thin air. The light all over her body was flickering, and she seemed to have a great interest in the latter: "A semi-mature energy life? It has the aura of Sir Alaya, but it does not conform to the life structure of any kind of Xiling apostle. It's really interesting. She is your and Lord Alaya’s child…”
"Ahem. That's actually what happened." I quickly explained the origin of Xiao Qijing. There were too few of these children. Alleria doesn't even know that there is such an "imperial princess". Even Vanilla, Sakina, and Sona have almost forgotten that they know such a child. Sometimes I worry that this girl will never come out again. I’m afraid it’s time for my hair to grow after being exposed to the sun…
Xiao Qijing rarely comes out because she is very afraid of strangers. After seeing a strange-looking luminous sister in front of her, the little one immediately exclaimed, then rushed behind me and held on tightly. At the hem of my clothes, I only poked my little head out to look in Alleria's direction. The only big beautiful eye was full of curiosity: "Dad, did mom fall into the noodle vat?"
Lin Xue was watching the excitement. He almost fell to the ground when he heard this, and looked at me with a look that meant he was trying to die: "Mu Mu, I am indeed your child - Xiaoxue will become like that in the future, I am afraid that at least one-third of your genes will be inherited. ?”
The naughty child king Chen Xiaoxue immediately yelled: "Take me with you no matter what you say, take me no matter what you say! Are you such a mother!"
Alleria looked at Xiao Qijing, then at a group of us adults, as if she wanted to sigh something, but before she could speak, a beam of holy light suddenly appeared nearby, interrupting her words. Alaya's figure emerged from the holy light. He rushed out of the formed beam, holding something in his arms, and said in a hurry: "Quick! Alleria! Come and take a look, I found this! What is this?"
"Lord Alaya," Alleria rushed over immediately, "This is... the new core? Where did you find it?!"
Only then did I finally see what Alaya was holding. It was a spindle-shaped light group that was only as long as an adult's forearm and emitted soft white light. Alaya carefully held it in his arms, as if Use general caution when holding a baby. I noticed that there seemed to be something in the light group, something substantial and constantly flowing, but no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't see its true appearance. I could only feel some kind of pulsation coming from the soft light. weak. Tenacious, like breathing life.
"At the end of the ramp, I was close to a hanging tower. I didn't know what was going on, but I felt something was calling. I opened a crystal door, and when I realized it, I already had this glowing thing in my arms... It seemed to be getting more and more... It’s getting darker!”
"This is the Angel Core! But the Angel Wall has not been activated yet..." Alleria waved her right hand lightly and summoned a control panel-like thing in the air. She was operating the panel quickly as she spoke. Get up, seconds later. We heard some kind of low roar coming from all directions, as if some large equipment was starting up, and the ground beneath our feet began to vibrate slightly. "No matter so much, it must be transferred to the incubation lattice immediately... Let me see - great, the energy is enough, there is a lattice that can be used immediately, but it has not been used for tens of thousands of years, I hope Don’t let any hidden dangers arise…everyone, follow me!”
Before we could react, Alleria had already completed a series of dazzling operations, and then a portal several meters high appeared behind everyone, and then she flew in first, followed closely by Alaya. . Followed by everyone who was still a little confused.
After the transmission was completed, we came to a strange indoor space, and our intuition told us that we should not have left the Platinum Tower yet. The hall is so wide that it is hard to see the boundaries. There are cubes made of transparent crystal stone bricks staggered everywhere. Each cube is about ten meters long, wide and high, and the distance between each other is also ten meters. These structures are neatly arranged. As far as the eye can see, straight lines of energy guidance are drawn on the ground with blue crystal powder, and flowing arcane light is constantly flowing into the surrounding crystal cubes along these wide lines. The cube closest to us has been opened, and its crystal wall facing everyone is surging like water ripples. Under Alleria's guidance, Alaya walked into the cube with the latter, and the two of them were carefully Place the cocoon-like white light group in the oval-shaped container in the center of the crystal cube. The container looks a bit like some kind of dormant cabin. However, it is very different from the technologically oriented sleeping cabins I have seen before - in fact, I have not seen a sleeping cabin other than a coffin-shaped sleeping cabin for a long time.
We were a bunch of complete laymen, and we were still in a state of confusion. Naturally, they didn't dare to go up and cause trouble, so they had to wait outside the cube. However, since the entire crystal cube was transparent, the actions of the two people inside could be clearly seen even from the outside. Alaya was putting the light cocoon into it. After the "sleeping cabin", she stood aside with her hands down, apparently not knowing what to do next, while Alleria began to busyly adjust several rune arrays floating outside the sleeping cabin. It seemed that she was After manually setting some parameters, even though the latter's expression cannot be seen, one can tell that she is very nervous based on the flickering brightness on her body.
Alleria is right, everything here is old. Although many things made by the Xiling Empire can function normally after many thousands of years, the passage of time will still reduce their performance, and the crystal in front of me The cube was obviously affected by this. It looked like it should be a very sophisticated thing. The impact of the passage of time on such a sophisticated facility was the most fatal. Alleria kept adjusting the control panel outside the hibernation cabin, but the hibernation The light in the cabin was still dimming rapidly.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly ran into the crystal cube while everyone was not paying attention, and turned into a white light and rushed into the dormant cabin. While everyone was stunned, this white light slipped out of the dormant cabin again. It turned out to be Xiao Qijing, who had been hiding behind the adults, ran back jumping up and down, grinning at me: "Dad, give me a hug! I'm dozing off!"
I bent down and held the miniature girl, who was less than one meter tall, in my arms. I bent down and pulled the hair of my special sister: "Wow, it looks a lot darker, and the ends of the hair are even transparent!"
I also noticed this. Part of Xiao Qijing's energy was gone. She looked terribly sleepy when she ran out of the crystal cube, and the light on her body flickered. I was worried at first when I saw this scene. It took a while, but soon, she replenished her energy through the soul connection with me, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep snoring. The ability to fall asleep in seconds definitely comes from Alaya.
"The situation has stabilized," Alleria's voice temporarily attracted my attention to Xiao Qijing's cute sleeping face. The former has left the crystal cube. Behind her, the walls of the cube had re-solidified, and the dormant cabin inside was emitting a stable and balanced white light. Alleria looked at the little girl in my arms curiously, "Is this child replenishing energy to the newborn core just now? She How could she do it? Without matching equipment, how could she... replenish energy to a core with a failing soul?"
"I've wanted to ask for a long time, what on earth is that?" I waved my hand and pointed to the dormant cabin not far away and asked my question first.
"That is the core of the newborn angel. I mentioned before that the Angel Wall will create this core. After catalysis, they can grow into Xiling Angels. Lord Alaya and I were both born this way," Aole Leah said calmly. However, a trace of happiness could still be heard in the voice, "I don't know what's going on. Why is there still a new core on the Angel Wall? It has stopped functioning long ago... and the entire Angel City has been dismantled and stored. It is impossible to operate in the assembly hall..."
"Then it's possible that it was left behind 70,000 years ago." My sister looked in the direction of the dormant cabin with a thoughtful expression on her face. "Perhaps it was formed before the parent star split, but in the rush, It was forgotten...in the embryo."
Alleria's wings trembled slightly. He whispered: "It's also possible... It's really dangerous. This child almost died. It's incredible that a newborn core can persist for such a long time..."
I just wanted to understand something at this time, and gently lifted up the sleeping little Qijing in my arms: "This child has the ability called soul parasitism. She is a soul body herself, and she can also parasitize other people." In the soul, she can absorb the vitality and information of the target to make herself grow. Now it seems that she can also reverse this process. She must have gone to recharge the core just now."
I didn't say the rest of the sentence: After this girl charged someone else's battery, she came to my place to charge it again.
Alleria's attention was on me, and even though I couldn't see her expression, I felt like I was being stared at. Finally, when I couldn't help but ask, Alleria spoke: "You and your daughter are both good at charging people."
Me: "..." Did she remember that I overcharged it a while ago and ended up using it as an incandescent light bulb all night?
At this time, Qian Qian seemed to have just remembered something, and pointed to the sleeping cabin in front with a surprised look on her face: "So angels are born from eggs?"
Everyone: "..." What on earth has this girl been thinking about in the past few minutes? !
Not to mention the rest of us, even Alleria, who has always been calm, was a little dumbfounded this time. She probably had never seen anyone in her life who could randomly combine things happening around her to this extent. She folded her wings. Facing Qianqian slightly: "This... angels are energy creatures. In addition, like all Xiling apostles, we have several ways of birth. This core manufacturing method is only widely used because it is very efficient... …”
"Okay, don't bother explaining," I patted Alleria's wings, "If you continue to explain, maybe she will come up with several versions for you - eggs are just eggs, we have one here. It was cultivated in soil." I said, my eyes fell on Dingdang, who raised his head very keenly: "Ajun? A magic horse?"
Everyone stayed outside the crystal cube (Alleria called this the incubation lattice) for a while, quietly staring at the dormant cabin inside the cube that was gradually enveloped in white light. With a warm smile on her face, Sister-in-law said, Even Alaya is smiling. Perhaps this unexpected appearance of the angel core is a good sign: since the mother planet recovered, the first new life is sleeping quietly in front of our eyes.
"Is it okay to just leave it here?" My sister looked at the dormant cabin in the incubation lattice and looked around. The incubation lattice in front of her was the only one in the active state. Apart from it, there were no other cabins around us. The crystal cubes were shrouded in a dim feeling, and the entire space seemed a little lifeless because of this. "It feels... very lonely."
"The new core takes time to grow, and the Angel Wall will not be able to resume production in a short while," Alleria put her hands on the wall of the crystal lattice and "looked" at the dormant cabin inside. , "I will leave a missing body to take care of this child."
I looked at Alleria in surprise. I didn't expect that she, who always looked businesslike, would make such an emotional decision.
The unexpected discovery in the City of Angels, the rebirth core left over from ancient times, was just a small episode. We stayed next to the incubation lattice for a while, and found that there was nothing we could do to help, so we returned to the upper level of the Platinum Tower. , leaving only Alleria's differentiated thoughts body in charge of taking care of the newborn.
The next day, we received a report from Alleria. She had found the reaction signal of the first resurrected imperial commander, Odysseus. As expected, the officer appeared at the northernmost tip of the continent. However, it may be because he just woke up and the other party is still a little confused, so he applied for maintenance in place for half a day.
Because I was extremely bored in the City of Angels, I decided to take Qian Qian and Lin Xue with me, follow Alaya and Alleria to have a look in person, and leave the others in the Dragon Kingdom. However, something happened before setting off. Something that surprised me: Sakina and Sona suddenly appeared and actively asked to follow us there.
"We're going to find someone."
Sona said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
