His words are so well-founded that people are powerless to refute them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I said, "Okay, I'll talk to my father right now." "But I still have some confidence in my heart.

I hurried back to the house, only to be told that my father was not at home at this time. I asked, "And where did my father go?" ”

The attendant replied respectfully: "Back to the young master, my lord, he should have gone to the location of the altar in the center of this floating continent, and he has been there more frequently recently. ”

Oh? I was a little surprised, and asked, "Then he hasn't been in the house at night for the past few days because he went there?" ”

"Yes."

I pondered it and secretly felt that something was out of the ordinary. Even if there really was something going on at the altar, my father didn't have to go there every day. You can let the people below do these things, right? Unless there is a real emergency, what would it be? It seems that I need to verify it with my own eyes.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and I silently began to walk in the direction of the altar, and I felt a little strange: the altar of ordinary humans is sacrificed to the gods, so what is the altar of the gods? It can't be yourself, right? But if not, then I don't understand what the meaning of the altar is for the Protoss?

When I arrived at the altar, I found that there was a huge square, and the altar was not built directly on the square, but was sunk underground, a semi-enclosed institution, and there were people guarding it. If it weren't for the guards at the gate who recognized me, I probably wouldn't have been able to enter.

After I walked through the long corridor, I finally came to the altar. The ceiling is semi-openworked, and you can see the moonlight shining through the vaulted roof to the very center of the altar.

I cautiously walked to the altar, and found that the hall was a perfect circle, with stone towers more than a man high arranged at equal distances inside the circle, and similar stone towers at the edge of the circle, but they were much larger, and their upper parts passed through the top of the altar and were exposed to the ground. I think back to what it seems that when we first came here, I had seen such stone towers at the edge of the Floating Continent. At the time, I thought it was only decorative buildings, but now that I think about it, they seem a little special, after all, there are still some differences from the splendid architectural style here.

What is even more striking is that in the very center of this altar, there is a metallic base. The base was more than a man tall, and a prismatic crystal of regular shape floated in the air. The crystals are emitting a faint blue light, which looks a little weird.

I wondered what it was, and a voice came from behind me, "What are you doing here?" "The voice is unhurried and there is no emotion.

I looked back, and out of the shadow by the altar came a slender figure, and said, "Lord Dingennier, I have something to look for you. "It's my father.

I could see that my father was obviously a little surprised by my arrival. But he still said quietly: "If it is still the same as before, then I think there should be nothing to say between us." ”

"Wait!" I stopped him and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I guess what I'm doing here has nothing to do with you, right?" There was still no expression on his face, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"I heard you've been staying at this altar lately, I wonder if it's you...... Something troublesome happened to the Protoss. Although I have been staying in the Holy Court, I have never forgotten who I am, and perhaps I can relieve your worries. I said.

My father looked back at me, and then said meaningfully, "You've talked a lot." As he spoke, he turned away, not looking to answer my question.

"Lord Dingenier!" I stopped him again: "Is it because of this crystal?" ”

His body was slightly stunned, and then he turned to look at the crystal on the altar, his expression was a little complicated, and I knew I had guessed it.

I turned around and walked over to the crystal, taking a closer look at it. The whole body is transparent and blue, the surface is smooth and angular, and it is not ordinary at first glance.

I asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the core of the Floating Continent Adeland, and it is also the reason why it is able to float in the air." Surprisingly, my father answered my question this time.

And at this time, I was still a little stuck in his answer just now: if the engine that the Floating Continent can float in the sky depends on such a thing, then this core really seems to be a little ...... Small.

But my father seemed to see through my thoughts, and said, "It wasn't so small before, and it's much bigger than it is now." And the key to the size of this core is whether the Protoss is prosperous. Therefore, when the reproduction rate of the Protoss slowed down and the number of groups decreased, the size of this core slowly decreased. And as the engine of the floating continent moving, it has gradually become a little unbearable. As you can see now, the crystals have no luster anymore. Now, even if it wants to keep the Adeland continent afloat, it is already quite difficult. I didn't need to tell the Dragon Knight of the Holy Court about these things, but you are my son, and I think it is necessary to let you know these things and the true face of the Protoss, and we have no fault to take care of other things. ”

I see!

No wonder......

Somehow, I felt a little sad in my heart. I asked, "So can't we do anything to stop the kernel from weakening?" ”

Father shook his head: "The worse the situation in the Nether Realm, the more the pure soul of the Ten Generations will be lacking, and the number of Protoss will become smaller and smaller. It's a vicious circle with no end in sight. At the moment we don't have anything we can do to change it. The population of the Divine Domain itself is already difficult to maintain the normal operation of the Floating Continent, where can anyone send it to the Holy Court? At present, only the nobles understand the situation here, but everyone still understands what the situation is now. The only thing we can do is for the nobles to take turns overseeing the crystal, but at the same time prepare for the worst. If one day this place does fall, it will not only be the gods, but also the races on earth. I'm telling you this today, and I also hope that the Holy Court can prepare as soon as possible......" His tone revealed a little sadness and helplessness, and it was the first time I saw him show obvious emotions.

Somehow, looking at him like this, I felt a little sad in my heart. My mother's condition has never been very good, and I am not here all the year round, and I have to do everything alone, so I am still a little lonely. I looked at his back a little distracted, and he asked, "What are you staring at me all the time?" ”
