Chapter 411: Respected Opponent
Looking at the scenery flying by outside the window, Su Yichen's eyes did not stop at them, although his gaze was towards the window, but in fact, the convergence of the two eyes was in the depths of his thoughts.
Beside him, Luo Yan sat quietly, holding Su Yichen's right hand with her left hand, she was very aware of her husband's habit of thinking for many years, and was held by her husband, feeling the temperature coming from his palm but not disturbing him.
The speed car is moving fast on the route set by the brain, but they are not going back to Europe, nor to the city before they came to the south, their destination is Shimen, which is the real hometown of the two.
Half an hour ago, they left the base, and when they left, they told Paulus that Cabakas had agreed to cooperate with the Earth civilization to carry out a plan against the Gaia civilization, but what they talked about with Cabacas, neither Su Yichen nor Luo Yan said a word, and then they also refused Paulus's kindness to arrange a rest for them, and asked for a flying car and left directly.
I don't know how long it took, Su Yichen in his thoughts sighed lightly, took out a small box from his pocket and looked at it intently, this box was the one that Kabakas took out before, although it was not opened, but the two people sitting in the flying car knew what the box contained.
"You don't blame me, do you?" Fingers swept lightly over the lid of the box, feeling the faint lines on the lid, Su Yichen turned slightly sideways to Luo Yandao, who was sitting on his right.
Luo Yan didn't speak, but tightened it with her left hand while giving her husband a smile.
"Thank you......." Su Yichen smiled and said with a smile, his wife's heart had already told him that she would support him no matter what choice he made, but at this moment, Su Yichen's heart was still a little confused, and he even had some doubts about his decision.
Yes. According to Kabakas, as long as Su Yichen and his wife can promise to protect his people, preserve the last bloodline of the Balk civilization, and help the Balk people rebuild their civilization if possible, then he will give this treasure to Su Yichen.
The small pyramid that Kabakas took out is a treasure left over from the Balk civilization. According to Kabakas, the reason why the Balk civilization was involved in the Millennium War was because of the collision of the two camps on the one hand, and because of this thing on the other hand.
Where this thing came from and how it ended up in the hands of the Balk civilization, Kabakas didn't know, but he told Su Yichen that this thing was carried as the most important item when his ancestors finally escaped from their home planet. And when the ancestors came to the planet Gaia to try to revive the Balk civilization based on the Gaia people of the primitive civilization at that time, this thing was also an extremely important item.
However, due to the ingratitude of the Gaian civilization, the efforts of the ancestors were in vain, but the treasure was hidden by the direct ancestor of Kabakas when he escaped from great disaster, and it was passed down for several generations before reaching him.
After obtaining this item, Kabakas studied it all his life, but he did not know what it was used for, let alone why the ancestors valued it so much. Although this small pyramid is extremely strange in terms of material and structure. What's more, its shape is so similar to the unique markings of the Rand civilization that Kabakas has been speculating that it is likely to be part of the remnants of the Rand civilization. But what exactly it is is unknown.
The Rand civilization, this civilization is the most powerful and mysterious civilization in the galaxy and universe, and the cause of the Millennium War was precisely due to the sudden disappearance of the Rand civilization. And a large part of the cause of the destruction of the Balk civilization was the acquisition of this small pyramid. From these aspects, Cabakas had every reason to judge that this little pyramid was a real treasure that he could neither comprehend nor understand.
But then again. It had been in the hands of the Balks, including Kabakas, for so many years that neither his ancestors nor himself could decipher its secrets, a thing that was so precious that he did not know how to use it, or even understood what it was for or what it was for. Then it doesn't have any value.
In fact, after discovering that the solar system actually has the remnants of two Rand civilizations, Kabakas also tried to study this small pyramid again, but the results still disappointed him. And now, in order to reach an agreement with Su Yichen, Kabakas decided to take out this thing in exchange after careful consideration, because he felt that Su Yichen and his wife should have the authority to grasp the legacy base of the Rand civilization, and it was also for this reason that the earth civilization, as a primitive civilization, would enter the ranks of the second-level cosmic civilization in such a short period of time.
Kabakas didn't understand how Su Yichen and his wife mastered the legacy base of the Rand civilization and obtained permission, this seemed to be a mystery, but he knew very well that if Su Yichen and his wife recognized the small pyramid they had taken out, then they could judge their guesses, and more importantly, no matter how precious a thing was, it would be better to give it to someone who knew it as a bargaining chip, so as to get what he wanted and needed most. And for Cabakas, what he needs most in his life, and what he has always pursued, are two things: revenge and the revival of Balk civilization.
Revenge with his own ability, this has now failed, although the Gaia civilization rebelled after hundreds of years of Kabakas' plan, many noble families were destroyed in the rebellion, and the entire Gaia civilization was greatly damaged, but unfortunately the failed Kabacas still did not achieve his goal, so he was forced to flee to the solar system.
And now, joining forces with the Earth civilization, this cosmic civilization that has a deep hatred for the Gaia civilization, the fall of the Gaia civilization is just around the corner. But revenge alone is not enough, after the fall of the Gaian civilization, whether the Balk civilization can be revived is also more important in the heart of Kabakas. Kabakas knows very well that just like he is cooperating with the Earth civilization now, the previous enemy can become an ally, but who knows if the current ally will become an enemy in the future?
The Balk civilization, the cosmic civilization that has been destroyed for many years, only the bloodline of Kabakas remains, once they have an accident, then the Balk civilization can also be said to never appear in the universe again, and the so-called Balk people will also become the history of the universe that has been completely forgotten by all civilizations.
Working with Earth civilizations, Kabakas feared the outcome of their Balks if the cooperation was successful. Once the Earth civilization controlled or even destroyed the Gaia civilization. Then you can completely turn your face and deny people and erase them directly from this world. If this is the case, then what is the significance of Kabakas's life? It was a scene he never wanted to see.
In order to ensure his plan, to be precise, to ensure the safety of their Balk people and the revival of Balk civilization in the future after the success of the plan, Kabakas made the decision to exchange this treasure for the promise of Su Yichen and his wife. Maybe it's a gamble, a gamble where you can't know if you win or lose. Before making a decision, Kabakas had thought it through, and when he saw the expressions on the faces of Su Yichen and his wife when they saw the small pyramid, the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell, because he confirmed his guess and the possibility that he would succeed in making a bet.
In the end, Su Yichen agreed to Kabakas's request, agreeing to shelter his people, and at the same time helping these Balks realize their dream of reviving civilization whenever they had the opportunity to solve the Gaian civilization. And throughout the process, there was one thing that neither side mentioned. But it was tacitly understood, that is, Kabacas himself, whether it was Kabacas himself or Su Yichen, who agreed to his request, knew in their hearts that Kabacas himself was not included in this transaction, that is to say, the future outcome of Kabacas was not in the transaction, because Kabacas himself knew very well that as two wars with the earth civilization, the earth civilization suffered heavy losses. The important person who has killed and injured hundreds of millions of earthlings has long been stained with the blood of earthlings on his hands. Whatever the purpose of doing this. No matter how kindly he reminded the Earth civilization through private channels before the second war, this could not change this fact.
Perhaps, when the Gaia civilization is destroyed, it will be impossible for Kabakas, as the current collaborator, to appear publicly in front of the earthlings, let alone reveal his identity. Neither the federal government nor the military of Earth would dare to do this. Everyone knows very well that once this is done, and even finds some reason for Kabakas to cover up his previous crimes, then the anger of the people of the earth is enough to make the earth federal government, including the military, carry out an unprecedented "great earthquake".
From this point of view, there are only two paths for Kabakas. One way is to wait for the matter to be over and live this life as an ordinary person under the protection of the earth's civilization. The other way is to avoid the public from blaming the government and the military after learning the truth, and directly deal with this big trouble. In Kabacas's view, the latter is more likely. Kabakas lived for hundreds of years, he was already an old man, his whole life was spent in conspiracy, and the only thing that supported him was his inner ideals and the belief in the revival of civilization. To tell the truth, Kabakas is not afraid of death, he even looks forward to death, because if he dies, he will no longer have to shoulder those heavy responsibilities, and he will not need to continue so tiredly. But what he worries about is his own people, the last blood of the Balks, and the hope of the revival of Balk's civilization.
Therefore, Kabakas did not put himself in the transaction, which is also an important reason why Su Yichen decided to make this deal with him after thinking about it again. When the transaction was completed and Su Yichen got up to leave, he admired this old guy a little in his heart. No matter how many disasters Kabakas has brought to earthlings and earthly civilizations, at least for his own civilization, he is a man to admire, and likewise a respectable opponent.
Su Yichen's identity, including his authority control over the Pluto base and the Earth base, is enough to protect the safety of the Kabakas people, not to mention the assistance of Hu Gang and Elke, plus Kabacas already has the consciousness of using himself as a bargaining chip to calm the anger of the earthlings, whether the Earth Federal Government or the military will at least agree to this plan, Su Yichen is still sure of this.
But what he is thinking about now is not only the promise of the Kabakas transaction, but more importantly, the small pyramid in his hand, all along, he and Luo Yan have been trying to get them out of their previous lives and spend the rest of their lives in the way of ordinary people, but that's the case, today's incident is equivalent to completely breaking their hope of wanting to live a peaceful life, when this small pyramid is in hand, coupled with the small pyramid obtained before, Su Yichen knows very well in his heart that the leisurely days are gone forever.
The speeding car arrived safely at its destination in the predetermined route setting of the brain, and when they got off the flying car, they looked at the familiar but unfamiliar environment around them, hesitated slightly, and then walked forward.
This is where the Little Red Mansion used to be, but now it is a forest, the lake is still the same as it was, and a path curves through the edge of the forest. Su Yichen and his wife walked forward slowly, looking at the surrounding scenery, but the appearance of the year appeared in their minds, and after walking for a short time, Su Yichen suddenly stopped, he looked to the right, and then took a few steps forward and lowered his body, using both hands to remove the soil on the ground.
"I didn't expect to see it again, I didn't pay attention to it last time." When he raised his head, he smiled happily, and Luo Yan beside him also showed a surprised expression.
"Here, do me a favor."
Luo Yan nodded, and squatted down like Su Yichen, but she was not far away from him on the other side, and the two of them were digging on the ground like fools, but then a bluestone strip stained with soil was completely revealed.
This bluestone strip is not long, only about 1.8 meters, less than 50 centimeters wide, with slight arches on both sides, and I don't know what it was used for.
Exhaled, the two looked at each other and smiled, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the surface of the bluestone strip, and after wiping it off slightly, Su Yichen smiled and made a gesture to Luo Yan to please, and Luo Yan also nodded happily, then bent down and sat on the bluestone strip.
Su Yichen also sat down on her left, the bluestone strip was placed directly on the ground, very short, but they sat as if they were sitting on the stone chair by the lake when they were students, yes, this bluestone strip dug out of the soil was part of a stone chair by the lake back then, the two leaned on each other, holding hands, looking at the lake not far away, the afternoon sun was sprinkled on the lake like gold, and then sparkling under the rippling waters of the lake.
