Before leaving the Desert in the Clouds, Hirsch and his party said goodbye to the Mulan team, and she wanted to say sorry to them, but she didn't.

Hirsch knew that they weren't the people he remembered.

The meaning of this sentence will never be understood by them.

Those stories that take place in a distant world, in another time and space.

2810 A.D., Xuandu.

Tenth Star Zone, Santa Renta, S17 Stellar Dragon Experimental Field.

This world, known as the Pan-Ancient Continent, is home to the epic war between dragons and humans, and the immortal legend of the dragon slayer and the dragon king, which is immortalized in the minstrels' songs.

In the year 801 of the Dragon Calendar, Ankara, the highest peak of the longest mountain range in the Panarchaean Continent.

The red-haired Ajani stood at the top of the mountain, her cloak hunting in the wind, a huge red crystal sword stuck beside her, the red lines of the blade seemed to flow like life, and the nearby land was charred black in the scorching heat.

She watched the town at the foot of the mountain wake up in the morning light, her eyebrows bent, and she thought to herself that today was a good day to go to sea.

As long as the sea dragon in the spawning period does not deliberately attack the fishermen, his bounty for this month is guaranteed.

It's just that, for some reason, there are few dragons to see recently, and it's obviously the season for fire dragons to migrate, but not a single fire dragon has left in the Ankara Mountains.

Moreover, what deserves her attention is the appearance of the dragon king, who followed the young man in human form into the depths of the Ankara Mountains, but was stopped by the dragon soldiers of the Dark Council.

One by one, the flying dragons marched into the depths of the mountain range, while the undersea and terrestrial dragons had been blocked from the Terran defense line because they had discovered it in advance.

Standing outside the lair of the most powerful pterosaur in Ankara, Ajani cut off a branch and went into the hole to test it, and waited for a long time, but did not see the branch burned to slag.

"How strange is it, dragon?" Ajani curiously glanced into the cave and found that there were no pterosaurs, only unhatched pterosaur eggs.

Subsequently, she fed back the news of the appearance of the dragon king and the disappearance of the dragon clan to the dragon hunter organization, and half a month later, she learned that the situation on the peak of Ankara was not accidental, and there were signs of dragons migrating towards Ankara all over the world.

Could something big happen?

Soon after, the Papal Emissary brought the Papal elite to the Ankara Mountains to invite the strongest dragon knight, Ajani, on behalf of the Pope, to help them deal with the dragons who had been corrupted by the Dark Council.

Ajani refused, she had lost the fire dragon that depended on her life and death in order to destroy the Dark Council, and now she has returned to the place where they first met, and there is no ** to fight.

The Holy See envoy took the Holy See's elite into the depths of the Ankara Mountains, where the Dark Council was the center.

Forget it, it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with you anyway, let them go to death!

Ajani nibbled through the city's bazaar, her face covered by a wide hood and a long greatsword sticking out from under her cloak.

The red-eyed masked girl in the crowd dressed in papal attire caught her eye, and the girl spotted her gaze and glanced at her, and Ajani suddenly felt that it was not good, but it was too late.

She unconsciously opened her eyes, fell to the ground before she finished eating, and her feet naturally followed the girl in the red-eyed mask out of the town.

The townsfolk who passed by Ajani didn't notice anything wrong with her, and no one knew her in the town she guarded. She followed the blonde girl through the jungle river to the highest point of the Ankara peak, and the girl who had brought her here was gone.

She remembered the words of the Holy See's envoy, Lord Ajani, you are the guardian of this world.

The Bishop says that one day you will understand your mission and wield the sword of the dragon once again for the world.

Ajani woke up suddenly, looked at the cliff in front of her, and cautiously took a few steps back, thinking about why she was here.

At his feet, a huge teleportation array covered the entire Ankara peak, and before Ajani could react, he disappeared from the teleportation array.

Many townspeople noticed the anomaly on the Ankara peaks, and they waited anxiously for the news of the fall of the Dark Council, and their ignorant hearts prayed for salvation from heaven.

Ajani landed, not seeing the blonde girl who had brought her here, but the strange assassin and the two blood-stained Emei thorns in her hands.

It was a huge altar hidden in the mountains, with clouds and mist surrounding the ruined pillars and the corpses of various dragons.

At the assassin's feet lay the corpses of the Holy See's envoy and the dragon king, and her emotionless voice rang out: "Ajani, you shouldn't have come here, I would have let you go, but you came anyway." ”

"I'll leave." Not knowing who she was and not interested in what she said she was about letting her go, Ajani smiled and said she had strayed into the place, but she didn't forget to draw her Flame Crystal Sword and confront the Assassin.

She was interested in the girl who had brought her here, and after she had eliminated the Assassins, she must be found!

"It's too late, the doctor asked me to deal with all the subjects, including you." The assassin looked at her with cold eyes, as if looking at a corpse.

In the next moment, she disappeared from Ajani's vision, and Ajani plunged her sword into the earth, luring the buried magma out of her ground, forming a shield around her.

The Assassin's form loomed through the air, and Ajani rushed towards it even though she had a shield to protect her.

As they waited, two arrows sliced through the space and struck them in the heart through the lava.

The assassin looked at his partner who appeared from the shadows and sneered, looking at the girl who was more loyal to the doctor than himself.

"Sure enough, the doctor asked you to do this, and in his opinion, I'm useless, right?"

The girl ignored it, and walked indifferently towards Ajani, who was wrapped in magma, and in the moment before she was about to be burned, the boiling magma quickly cooled, and in the eyes of Ajani, who had fainted, the flame that would never be extinguished was jumping.

Ignoring the Assassin who was pulling out the anesthetic, the girl sent the coordinates to the Star Doji in outer space, preparing to teleport Ajani with herself.

Before leaving, the girl seemed to remember something, walked up to the Holy See envoy and the dragon king and stabbed them both, the assassin sneered, "The doctor said that all the test subjects and special dragons must be cleared, if you don't kill Ajani, how can you hand over the task to the doctor?" ”

The girl who was mending the knife turned around, looked at the dagger in her hand, put it away, walked towards the assassin, squatted down beside her, picked up her Emei thorn, stabbed her in the chest, and said, "The doctor asked me to take S040 back to the lab." ”

"Wait, don't you wonder why I let Ajani go......" The assassin had already breathed out before he could finish speaking.

She glanced at the assassin, she didn't know what emotion was revealed in her eyes, and took out the star map to report to Santa Renta: the task is complete, the coordinates of the test subject S040 have been sent, the target person has been cleared, request to be teleported, over.

"Confirm the destination, scan the ID, confirm, and teleport soon" The girl watched as S040 broke down into pieces and disappeared with her at the altar.

No one knew that Ajani had left this world forever before she could wield the dragon-slaying blade for this world.

"The Santa Lenta Personality Model." The moment she stepped into the laboratory, the electronic sound sounded in the girl's ears.

Then a combination of electronic and human voices, in a strange voice to the girl's ears, AI Santa Ranta spoke: "Project Guardian has begun, the doctor is preparing for the relevant experiments, and you are responsible for erasing S040's memory." ”

"Hmm." The girl looked at S040 soaked in the golden solution, pressed the green button, and several thin metal wires were inserted into S040's brain from the top of the container.

"S17's genesis engine can't last long, the data shows that there are still five months left, and a message has been sent to the Interstellar Federation to remind other merchant ships passing by S17 to avoid being disintegrated by the planet."

"Okay." The girl looked through the glass at S040's face distorted by pain, the golden solution flowing into her mouth, and the girl couldn't help but wonder what she had been like when she had undergone this surgery before.

"The test subject has been destroyed, and he is not worried that the Interstellar Federation will find out what will trouble the Doctor, but the Doctor does not want this technology to fall into the hands of some people...... You know. ”

"Hmm." The girl thought for a moment. The sword belonging to S040 in the arsenal was also sealed.

Maybe one day, S040 will remember her name and use this sword to fight for a city that does not belong to her.

"Humans have been detected on S17, and I ask if the Interstellar Federation is willing to accept it!"

"Okay." The girl turned and walked to another room, and the red-haired woman opened her eyes and looked at her innocently curiously.

"The clone of Crimson Blade, unable to accept the failure of consciousness copying."

The girl looked at her, pressed the destroy button without the slightest hesitation, turned around, and said, "The test subject's genes have been collected, β, pass it to the Sangren Pagoda in Xuandu." ”

"Understood, where are you going to start your inspection in the lab?"

"The gene pool of the twelfth district, β, you try to call up the genes of the angel Bai Kailan and the dragon lady Ajani to control the power, we should go to Haimiya."

"Understand~"

It's a memory of the Old World, a timeline, a story that Hirsch of the Overworld line didn't experience.

The age of kings in 380 years, winter.

The Doctor looked with interest at a certain world line projected by the Heart of the Universe, as if muttering to himself, "At this moment, there are countless pasts, and there are countless futures. ”

You think you see the past, but in fact it is the future, and you think you see the future, but in fact, the moment you see it, it has become the past.

However, I have seen countless world lines, and the only ending on the earth is destruction.

What can be done to save it?

How to recreate its splendor?

All of this will take tens of millions of years for the Ark civilization to explore, but another civilization is running out of time.

Perhaps the volunteers of the Cross Project will reshape civilization on another planet in hundreds of millions of years, but they will never replace the civilization on the planet in front of them.
