…………………… 333, City of Nothingness........................

The Utopian Liberty Collar is still there, the Patriarch is still alive, they are not rootless wanderers, their hometown is far away.

At this moment, looking at the glittering veteran star, a low sobbing sound sounded in the communicator.

Professor Leon's hands trembled, and even the crystal ball he was holding in his arms was unstable. Qiu Ci wanted to reach out and take it for him, but Xiao Chunshui took a step faster and took the eternal clock with his hand.

Abu muttered to himself in Qiuji's mind, "Is this utopia? It shouldn't be wrong, I seem to feel the breath of my master's mana. But why is there such a strong aura of mana? Isn't the master already dead? ”

Qiu Ci smiled: "Wouldn't you know if you went to see it?" ”

Ah Pu also smiled: "Yes, I have to go and see, I don't know if there are one or two of those guys who are lucky to be alive." ”

There is no talk on this topic, Professor Leon has already said that the mecha regiment of the Chu madman was completely wiped out against the abyss's invasion. But it's hard to say, isn't Apo still alive? Although he didn't have a chance to participate in that great battle at all, he was injured by the Abyss Monster a long time ago, resulting in a constant search for a host in the stars along with Driftfire.

It was precisely for this reason that he and Drift Fire were lucky not to participate in the battle to destroy the world, so they could survive and meet her.

At some point, Professor Leon lit a cigarette that he never smoked, and slowly sang an old ballad, muddy tears crawling across his furrowed cheeks, but the vicissitudes of the hoarse singing voice were particularly thick.

"Over the cold misty mountains in the distance, to the deep ancient cellar caves."

All the people who wept with joy stopped sobbing and listened to the old singing from the communicator. Gradually, all the voices sang in unison, which was the ballad of their homeland.

"We set out before dawn in search of the freedom we had forgotten for a long time.

The iron oak trees roared in the mountains. The cold wind was moaning in the middle of the night.

The fire is red and the stars are shining. Trees and rivers guide us in the right direction.

……

Let's go, go find a peaceful homeland,

There are green grasslands and deep blue bays.

The orioles sang in the woods, and the children shouted in joy under the moon.

……

That's my home.

A beautiful and rich hometown!

Qiu Ci and Xiao Chunshui both stood quietly to the side, listening to the vigorous and heroic singing voice coming from the communicator. Autumn Words seemed to see a group of wandering ronins in the stars, supporting each other, dragging the family, and everyone humming songs softly. Looking into the distance.

In a relaxed atmosphere of singing and laughter, the fleet finally arrived at the legendary capital of utopia, the Senator.

Led by Professor Leon, everyone was excited. Look at the planet that is getting closer and closer and gradually enlarged.

Until he could see the color of the planet clearly, the smile on Professor Leon's face suddenly retracted, and he frowned and wondered, "Why orange?" ”

The planet in front of him was indeed glowing orange, and from a distance, it looked like a ripe orange hanging in the stars.

"Is there something wrong?" Qiu asked puzzled.

Captain MacWiney shook his head. He said with some concern: "Of course not, in the notes of the ancestors, the Elder Star is a planet that has been blessed by the Great Elder and all the Elders with their mana, and its original color is not just orange, but three colors, that is, the red color of the first layer. Silver on the second layer, orange on the third layer. These three colors are actually three protections. A protective wall that can defend against abyssal monsters. ”

"Could it be that we are mistaken, this is not actually a veteran star?" He turned to Professor Leon and asked.

Professor Leon shook his head and said affirmatively: "I have just confirmed in every possible way that this planet is in the same coordinates as the Elder Star in the Eternal Clock, and this is the Elder Star. ”

"Will it be because it was more than 7,000 years ago. The people of Utopia detonated all the planets in the surrounding star field, and the huge destructive force caused great damage to the three lines of defense. So only the last line of defense remains? Qiu Zi guessed.

Professor Leon and Macviney also thought of this speculation, but they quickly denied it in their hearts. The reason was that they knew that the energy of the three-color defense line came from the Dao techniques cultivated by the various elders of the Senate.

Unless all the senators of the Senate die, the tricolor line of defense will slowly wither, and only a layer of orange light will remain.

The atmosphere gradually froze from extreme joy to some solidification, and Professor Leon ordered the fleet to land on the orange planet. He took the Eternal Clock from Xiao Chunshui's hand, and a beam of red, silver, and orange flew out of the Eternal Clock.

The beam of light quickly merged into the orange light of the planet, and in the blink of an eye, where the three-color beam entered, the orange light suddenly separated, revealing a space that could accommodate the fleet.

The Black Goat fleet entered one by one and slowly landed on an open surface.

After detecting the adaptive temperature and air on the planet, the hatches of all the warships and merchant ships were opened, and hovercars flew out of the spaceship.

The vehicle flew freely in all directions, and circled several times before slowly gathering together to guard the hovercar that Professor Leon was riding in the middle.

Qiu Ji looked around, the bare earth, only a few scattered green dots on the brown earth. There is no imaginary lawn, no flowers blooming in all seasons, no bustling city streets, and no people singing and laughing......

No, nothing.

There is only the cold wind blowing in their faces, and the silence where they can hear their own heartbeat.

Qiu Ci had already asked Ah Pu to conduct a life exploration on the Metaverse, but the result was that it could not be detected. The planet has a strange force field protector that is insulated from any method of detection.

Professor Leon's explanation for this is: "Because of the need to guard against the tracking and reconnaissance of the enemies of the Abyss, when the Utopia Free Territory was established, the Grand Elder and all the elders of the Senate joined forces to arrange this force field to prevent detection. ”

But, isn't that too quiet?

There are no birds, fish and insects, no grass and flowers, no rivers and mountains, and some are just barren.

Without a fleet to protect the planet, without any communication requesting contact, if they entered an uninhabited star, no one would interrogate them at all, and they would be allowed to enter the mysterious Elder Star freely.

Professor Leon's explanation for this is: "We landed in a flat and open place, otherwise we would not have been able to hold so many ships. These places are of course desolate and there is nothing to fuss about. ”

Qiu Ci glanced at him quietly, and found that his hands were trembling slightly, while the others had smiles on their faces, but their eyes were panicked for no reason.

"Let's go, our relatives in our hometown are waiting for us." Professor Leon laughed and shouted at the hundred people who followed.

The others burst into laughter, and the convoy headed for the looming building in the distance.

There seems to be no day or night on the Elder Star, and the orange light always shrouds the periphery of the planet, and also illuminates the surface of the planet.

Therefore, there seems to be no need for lights on the street, at least not a single street lamp in Akiji.

It seems to be a city, with high-rise buildings and wide, flat streets forming a transportation network that extends in all directions. Green belts have been built on both sides of each street, and from the traces, the green belt should have been planted with many tall trees, and various flowers and plants were planted on the ground. However, at this time, there is only gray dirt in the green belt.

Still, it's a lively city, with a constant stream of vehicles on the hoverway and pedestrians on the streets. They were dressed in neat and uniform clothes, and they walked in groups of three or five, or walked side by side, or sat around and talked. Children are running and playing in the streets, and mothers are yelling at them.

Seeing the bustle of the city from afar, Professor Leon and the others suddenly cheered, driving the hovercar to the maximum speed, wanting to enter the city quickly. Qiu Ci couldn't help but smile, she looked at Xiao Chunshui next to her, only to see his eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Ji moved towards him and whispered in his ear.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Xiao Chunshui looked back at her, and the melancholy between his eyebrows became even stronger.

In fact, Qiu Ci also felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't know what was strange, thinking that he was too careful, but he didn't expect Xiao Chunshui to feel the same way.

"Although I can't use psychic perception on this planet, I still feel that this lively city seems to be full of dead air." Xiao Chunshui rubbed his forehead.

"Dead air?" Qiu Ji looked at him in surprise.

"Don't you find that in such a lively city, there is no living life other than people? And, although we are far away, why is there no sound coming from such a lively city? ”

Before Qiu Ci could answer, the convoy had already rushed into the sky over the city, and then, Xiao Chunshui's question was meaningless.

There is no sound, there is a bustling scene in the city, and there is no sound at all.

The convoy remained in mid-air, and there was silence in the communicator. No one spoke, and no one knew what to say.

Suddenly, a hovercar rushed towards the convoy, as fast as the aircraft.

The convoy didn't have time to avoid it, the hovercar had already been loaded onto the convoy, and before everyone could react, the hovercar had already passed through the convoy and drifted away.

With a bang, Professor Leon only felt that his head had been blown apart by a heavy explosion, how could it be, how could it be a phantom? Where can there be such a real phantom, the real makes people feel a burst of despair.

In an instant, the convoy scattered like boiling water, rushing towards the speeding city hovercars, and then they pierced one by one and went away.

The people in the car ran out of the car like crazy and ran towards the people in the street, but they couldn't see the outsiders at all, still doing what they were doing. Passing past this group of excited outsiders, passing through their bodies, as untraceable as air.
