Chapter 1,295 Mirror Princess
Although Lin Xue's inexplicable nightmare a few days ago made people very concerned, and the inexplicable sound that may be related to that nightmare also made people feel uneasy, but these two things obviously cannot be solved in a short time. . ※※First, I have to find a way to get in touch with that voice again, and then... and then there will be no more...
It's not a manned station. Just dial the number and someone will answer. No matter who the source of the sound is, I am in a state of random connection with him. God knows when the next time the other party will contact him: maybe the eldest lady has already The bouncing Xiaoxue No. 2 was born. Well, it can’t be said to be No. 2... Anyway, this question is not important. The important thing is that no one can accurately grasp the pattern of the sound. Although Tavel has been working hard, he has not been able to say that it is No. 2. Things related to void creatures cannot be deciphered by hard work. So far, everything about that voice has been classified as an "unsolved mystery" by the people at the research institute, along with the civilization on the other side.
I dragged Lin Xue to the headquarters and directly found Sivis. It was now around two o'clock in the afternoon, and Sivis was busy handling daily affairs in his office. Said to be an office, this place looks more like a well-equipped tactical center. This rather spacious circular room is made of the most common material in Xiling architecture: silver-gray special alloy. The walls around the room are at regular intervals. There is a holographic projection screen in the distance. The things displayed on it include incomprehensible forms and documents, as well as things similar to military maps, as well as dense star maps and void simulated territory maps. On the large semicircular table in the center of the room There are fixed data terminals and holographic projection generators installed. In addition, there are only a few neatly placed daily tools: Sivis' personal data terminal and several other small devices. On the corner of the table was the only thing that could be called a decoration in the room, a small crystal vase with a small white flower in it. The greatest value of this flower was that it made the room look even more empty and shabby.
Sivis himself didn't care much for this kind of decoration. This flower comes from Sister Asida’s Twin Florist. The things couldn't be sold anyway, so Sivis, who occasionally helped take care of the flower shop, would occasionally bring back the dying flowers from the shop and place them anywhere.
This is the place where Sivis works. It is clean and simple, without any unnecessary furnishings or furniture. Just like the character of the owner of the room, he is dedicated and dedicated. At first glance, many people would not expect that the owner of this place is actually the emperor. The second in command in the **. This is not the first time I have come to Sivis's office, and I am amazed every time I come here. She almost took the "absolutely military" life of the Xiling soldiers to the extreme. Even Tavel wore a pair of plain glasses as a small accessory out of personal interest, but Sivis put a pair of glasses in his wardrobe. There are twenty-seven identical military uniforms in the platoon. If it is not due to mission requirements or orders from superiors, Sivis has never even changed his uniform. In my memory. Since she left the surface world and ended her mission of disguising herself as a teacher, she has never changed out of her military uniform: just like this.
Sivis stood in front of Lin Xue and me, wearing a straight women's military uniform, reporting on her work meticulously.
"...To sum up, we have transferred all the goods brought by the Fiyali people to the city's third warehouse, which contains a total of 1,225 solid minerals and 364 liquid substances. There are also three sealed bottles There are compressed gases in the container, as well as two rabbits from another world, among which the rabbits have been eaten by Her Majesty Sandora, and the remaining things will be sent to the analysis room in batches. If the sample contains specific energy radiation or Any traces that may record information will be brought to you without any omission."
I blinked and Felice gave us those goods for free. Just three hours have passed now. In such a short period of time, Sandora accurately located the rabbit and ate it. Her Majesty the Queen's foraging skills have indeed been maxed out for a long time.
"Stones, water, air..." Lin Xue sat on Sivis's office chair, her mouth trembling a little, "Do those Fiyali people really dare to sell anything? I heard you say that Phyllis is a I still can’t believe the stone seller…”
"That's how cross-world trade is. Anyway, I don't know if something will be useful in another world, so I just stuff it into the warehouse no matter what I see, and I can always get the treasure I want. This kind of thing To be honest, trade is a kind of gambling. You go to another world with something you don’t know what it can do, exchange it for another bunch of things you don’t know what it can do, and then continue to the next world and repeat the process several times until you feel I finally found the treasure. Generally speaking, the profit rate of this kind of gambling is quite high, because there are too many multiverses, and the chance of encountering a scammer is as high as the chance of running into the police while running naked on Wangfu Street..."
Lin Xuena rolled her eyes and looked at this side: "Can't you occasionally use a normal metaphor?"
I twitched the corner of my mouth and said in my heart that I really regretted not bringing Qianqian here. If that girl were here, she would definitely make everything in the world look normal...
"But speaking of it," Lin Xue rolled her eyes and looked at the ceiling, then patted her palms and summed up a pattern, "Mumu, why do you pick up some weird people every now and then? And there must be at least one girl among them... …”
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "You put people like Felice on the alert list?"
The eldest lady's expression was particularly serious: "You walk upright, you are not ugly, you don't have a husband and a female household registration, as long as you meet these four conditions, you will be considered a warning target. Your hunting range is too wide, look at how many people in the family are not girls." ——The two birds in the yard laid eggs and you turned them into little girls and took them home to raise. Can I not be on guard? I was just eaten and wiped clean by you, and now I am in a sensitive period. Oh, by the way, You also have a fox, and that stupid fur ball has learned to actively lie on your feet and take care of children. According to this, the word "walking upright" needs to be removed..."
Me: "..." It seems that this little hedgehog has recovered. The pricking thorns on her body are slowly recovering. I don't know why I feel that her poisonous tongue is quite friendly now. After confirming that the eldest lady just had periodic venomous remarks, I decisively put her on the mute list and continued to discuss national affairs with Sivis - it was not common for me to do business by myself, so I had to behave well.
Sivis watched expressionlessly as I finished the interaction with the eldest lady. Her ability to be nonchalant should be considered a major specialty. Then she cleared her throat: "Your Majesty. I think you need to get goods from the Fierys." I'm afraid it's not easy to find the target in the warehouse. We lack a clear characteristic that can be used to identify it. No one knows what the thing that led the fallen apostle here is. It may even be just a big piece dug up by the Fiyali people. The most inconspicuous piece in the pile of stones. My subordinate has already communicated with Vincent Carlo, and the other party is not clear about these things. He is just a pure military commander."
This is indeed a problem, especially when I know that the merchant ships of the Fiyali people are really filled with stones they dug from various places, I am even more determined that this is a huge challenge. God knows what the inducement for the fallen apostles to hunt down the four quadrants of the Fiyali people looks like. It might really be just a meteorite fragment, or something else with no characteristics. Now we seem to be in a place with a population of 20 billion. Then the task I received was just one sentence: Go and find that so-and-so...
Here, the three words "who" are the only descriptions of the mission objectives...
Anyway, if this mission was thrown at me, I would definitely go berserk on the spot. The only reason Sivis didn't go berserk was because she had full loyalty points.
I thought about it, and there was only one sigh left in my heart: I hope it’s not the two rabbits from another world that Sandora ate. As long as something enters Sandora's mouth, it will be the same as falling into a black hole. There is no way to find it back...
"Let's look for it. If it doesn't work, just collect all the things that look different from other stones." I smacked my lips painfully, and my eyes fell on Lin Xue, "Girl, can you help me this time?" ?”
"Yes." Lin Xue answered simply, "But I won't help."
I almost fell to the ground: "Why?"
"First, secret, second. No need for me to take action, you can find that thing soon anyway," the eldest lady lay on the table boredly, playing with Sivis's data terminal. "That thing is like the shining point of Lilina's humanity..."
"Are you saying that you can't find it even if you die?"
"...I mean, if it really exists, it will definitely be very conspicuous..."
Me: "...Don't use metaphors that can easily cause ambiguity in the future."
"Is there anything else you want to report at the end?" I silently eliminated the guilt in my heart that I secretly complained about Lilina. Looking up at Sivis, the latter nodded: "There is one thing that I am not sure about yet, but I think I should report it in advance. Regarding the whereabouts of Harlan and his remnants, it is certain that they have not returned to the Abyss Empire. They have already Escaped in the void and disappeared without a trace, our spy stations and reconnaissance spacecraft deployed around the border of the Abyss Empire have not found Harlan's men passing by."
Harlan has not returned to his old nest so far. Perhaps this means that this powerful enemy has been removed from the camp of the fallen apostle. However, I am not sure about this yet: "Maybe he is still halfway? Maybe he encountered other things and was Delayed?"
Lin Xue rolled her eyes at me: "Is it possible? You've almost knocked my brains out. Why don't you go home quickly and get some medicine? Why don't you just walk around outside again? He may have to meet the patrol team of the Gods at any time. .”
I thought about it and felt that the eldest lady summed it up well.
"That makes people even more confused." I spread my hands and explained my worries, "If he returns to the Abyss Empire, then at least we can still know his whereabouts, but now he has disappeared, which means An untimed bomb disappeared into the depths of the void. He does not have many troops at hand at the moment, but don't forget how many people we had when we started from scratch. A living emperor and a basic army will not take long to develop. The size of several legions. Harlan is the biggest military threat we have ever encountered. Judging from the legion melee alone, this guy can almost fight for half of the new empire's wealth by himself. Letting him go is definitely a hidden danger. "
Lin Xue agreed after hearing my analysis. That Haran may be the unluckiest among the fallen apostles who fought against the New Empire, but he is undoubtedly the one who has caused the most damage to the New Empire so far. He is a hard-core king of war. With an unprecedentedly powerful legion and violent force capabilities, once this kind of enemy disappears under your nose, it is difficult to be sure whether the opponent will show up in front of you with a younger brother of the group army the next time you encounter it. However, now he has indeed disappeared: after escaping hastily from the border of the empire, he did not return to the fallen apostle camp, nor did he appear again in the scanning range of any of our monitoring stations. It was as if the void had evaporated without a trace.
"Keep searching, that's all we can do," I looked at Sivis. "Send as many void reconnaissance ships as possible out, follow the last signal of the disappearance of Haran's remnants, and move closer to the depths of the void. If you encounter the enemy... don't fight, do whatever you can to follow secretly."
"Yes, I understand."
Now it seems that there is indeed a problem with Harlan, and judging from various signs, he had a problem before the invasion. The battle of the past few days didn't feel like a well-planned war at all, but more like a desperate mad dog attack. Harlan felt as if he had been exiled - so his army came out in force and stormed the empire's borders. Now, he has lost his troops but has not returned to his lair. Why is this?
The only possible explanation is: he can't go back. Perhaps "that adult" forbade him to go back?
Anyway, I can't figure it out. However, based on the core idea that the enemy's misfortune is our own luck, I think Harlan's current experience can barely be considered good news for us, although it may not be a good thing if he continues to disappear like this.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when the eldest lady and I got home. Unknowingly, we had spent another whole day in the Shadow City, but today was not too busy - the exchange with Phyllis, that void vendor, was enough. It was classified as leisure activities because I really couldn't find the feeling of having a conversation with another civilized ruler. I felt that the mood of being with that girl was the same as picking out discounted eggs in the vegetable market. The only difference is that she is more difficult to deal with than the egg seller...
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw a shimmering white figure floating towards me. It was Anweina, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, who noticed the movement in the living room and came to greet her master. The well-educated little maid gently raised the hem of her skirt and saluted Lin Xue and me: "Master, mistress. You have worked hard."
The eldest lady accepted Anweina's daily ritual with a weird expression. In the past, the little ghost would greet people at home like this every day, but this time, the eldest lady's mood was obviously different. She shivered all over, blinked and looked around: "Why does the word 'mistress' sound so weird this time?"
I glanced at Anweina. The ghost maid lowered her head, and the light on her body flickered. It was difficult for her to answer this question, but a cold and unscrupulous female gangster appeared behind her. It was more powerful to answer this kind of question, Bingtis's voice The whole room could hear: "Nonsense, it was the young mistress who failed in the past, but now it is the young mistress who failed. An Weina greets you with two different attitudes..."
Anweina was stunned for a moment, deeply convinced, and then floated through my body towards the kitchen with a very strange expression: This little ghost is really convenient when moving around the house, either through walls or through people.
The eldest lady, on the other hand, was completely stunned on the spot. The excitement that had just arisen in the Shadow City could not last long before she was silenced by the eldest sister's first words. Then she ran to the second floor as if she was running away: "I'll go back and take a rest. Call me when dinner is ready!"
"Try her while she's on guard these days," Bingtis said, leaning over and patting me on the shoulder, "It's fun for this little girl to be shy. After two days, you won't be able to tease her, unless you Energetic and more flavorful…”
I looked at Bingtis inexplicably. The expression on this female gangster's face was so vulgar and vulgar. She didn't have much of a holy temperament in her body, and now it's gone. It's hard for me to understand where her expression of "I know everyone who has been here" comes from. I can't help but be a little curious: "I said, can you stop being so unhealthy? If I remember correctly, you haven't even been in love for tens of millions of years." We haven’t talked about it, right?”
The evil smile on Sister Bing's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she almost died from being stabbed in the painful area. At this time, Sandora slipped out of the kitchen. It seemed that she heard what I just said, and decisively added the final blow: " She? She can even see her breasts, and she really looks like a girl when she doesn't speak, but she was the number one female gangster who claimed to be able to scare off two thousand tough guys in a day, and her title was 'Mirror Princess'."
Shandora and I communicated in the spiritual connection for a long time, and confirmed that it was "Mirror Princess" and not "Thorn". I suddenly looked surprised: "Hey, this title sounds pretty good, and it is different from the demeanor of this female gangster. It sounds like a dream..."
Bingtis looked at Sandora and I discussing the most serious topic in her life with a miserable look on her face, and her tone was on the verge of collapse: "Meng Meng, your sister, total reflection..."
Sandora was still explaining: "It has two meanings. One is that it can reflect all members of the opposite sex like a mirror, and the other is that just like a mirror, what a man sees when he stands in front of Bingtis is also a man... …”
Bingtis finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran away. The female gangster broke through the sound barrier and rushed directly to Shandora: "Sandora, stop! I'll fight you! It's amazing to get married, isn't it? It's amazing to be married, isn't it? You dare to follow Do you want me to compare my bust? Do you dare to compete with me about whose fist is bigger? Just stand there and don’t move! We have been single for hundreds of millions of years, who are you pretending to be a dream of Red Mansions! Even if I get married next year, I will be later than you in life. Just a thread!"
I:"……"
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the house has become noisy. This is indeed the first family's repertoire. They must exercise before eating.
There was a flurry of excitement in the living room, and the fox girl who was lying at the door waiting for her meal was frightened and ran to the cabinet. The overall atmosphere reached its climax after Shandora said:
"Death without Han Bingtis!"
I'm afraid this meal tonight will not be delicious.
