Chapter 518: Wise Atren
The house where the wise Atren lived was still made of vines, the difference was that the room was covered with flowers, like a carpet in bloom, and the faint fragrance made people feel refreshed, but the embarrassing thing was that Mu Chen and the others had almost no place to stay.
The room was large, but the interior was decorated in a very simple way, with little furniture, and a very old man sat in it, his eyes closed, and his mouth muttering words as if he were praying some kind of prayer.
Although Mu Chen was anxious to find a way to go home, and had a lot of questions to ask the old man, when he saw this scene, he still forced himself to quiet down and wait for the wise man's prayer to end.
Richard looked around curiously, but after a while he got bored, there really wasn't anything interesting here.
"You said this old man couldn't be asleep, did you?" Richard leaned into Mu Chen's ear and asked in a low voice.
Mu Chen glared at him and motioned to keep quiet, this is the territory of the Tia people, even if they seem backward, they should still maintain the respect they deserve.
Perhaps hearing the movement in the room, the wise man Atren slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mu Chen and the others kindly, this look reminded Mu Chen of his grandmother who had passed away for many years, and he unconsciously had a good impression of the wise man.
"Let me see, you guys are supposed to be from three galaxies, right?"
To Mu Chen's great surprise, the wise man was actually talking to them in the lingua franca of the universe, which meant that this unknown planet had indeed been in contact with aliens, and it was very frequent.
"Sir, you're right, this guy and I are from the solar system and are earthlings, and these two are the Luna Spirits and the Cantari respectively......" Mu Chen respectfully introduced.
"The solar system? In other words, you are earthlings, right? Atren asked with a smile.
This made Mu Chen even more surprised: "Have you heard of earthlings? ”
"Hehe......" Atren smiled meaningfully, "To be exact, I've been waiting for you to arrive......"
"Wait for me?" Mu Chen asked suspiciously.
"Yes...... Atlon looked at Mu Chen kindly, "I've been waiting for this day for countless years. ”
"What the hell is this? Master, I'm only in my 20s now, where do you start talking about "waiting for countless years"? Why does this wise man feel a little unreliable?'
Atren saw Mu Chen's thoughts, but he didn't mind, he stood up slowly, stepped on the floor paved with flowers, and pulled Mu Chen's left hand without saying a word, and checked it carefully.
Then a childlike smile appeared on his face: "That's right, it's you, the Chosen One!" ”
"The Chosen One? Are you talking about me? Mu Chen asked with a frown.
Richard on the side also laughed: "Old man, do you have any peerless martial arts secrets, take it out and take a look, cheaper me."
Buy two more copies. ”
Richard, this is a liar who treats Atren as a liar on the flyover, and this routine has long been outdated.
Yatren ignored him, but looked at Mu Chen seriously and said, "The lucky compass is in your hand, right?" ”
This shocked Mu Chen, he didn't reveal anything about getting this lucky compass, even Laura didn't know, how did this Yatren know?
Mu Chen's face changed, and he wanted to deny it, after all, this thing is very precious, and his ability is not trivial, and spreading it will inevitably cause many people to covet it.
But after thinking about it, I honestly admit it, after all, the other party has seen it, and I can't carry the bull's head and not admit it, right?
"Yes, but how do you know that?" Mu Chen asked curiously.
"Don't worry, let me take my time......"
It turns out that the Tia people are not in a state of ignorance as Mu Chen imagined, on the contrary, they are an extremely ancient civilization race in the universe like the elemental people, but for various reasons, they have been in a state of isolation, and there is no record of them even in the Endless Scroll.
And they have always settled on this Tia star, and never took the initiative to contact the aliens.
Occasionally, people with the same experience as Mu Chen will break into this planet, most of them are lost interstellar travelers, some have repaired their flying machines and left here, while some have stayed on this planet forever, and it is for this reason that ordinary Tia people are not nervous about the arrival of Mu Chen's people at all.
"But how do you know about the solar system? Could it be that before me, there were earthlings who came here? Mu Chen asked.
"Not really," Atren shook her head, "come with me......"
The group followed Atren into one of the rooms, which was much larger than before, but only a circular pool.
"Hey, old man, you're going to enjoy it, and the private pool?" Richard teased.
"Be honest, get out if you have more trouble!" Mu Chen scolded, dissatisfied with this friend's hippie smiley attitude for the first time.
"It's okay...... Atlon waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind: "It's not a swimming pool, it's a magical mirror." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his wrinkled hand, and waved it lightly on the pool, and a faint ripple appeared on the pool, and soon a picture appeared like a television screen.
Unexpectedly, the people in the picture are actually Mu Chen's family members: Xiao Yue is lying on the workbench of the transport ship with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and the wolf girls are also busy with their own work, if nothing else, they should be adjusting the route of the voyage.
"This, this is ......" Mu Chen was speechless in surprise for a long time, fortunately Yatren is very
I introduce it with a smile.
"This is the sacred relic of our Tia people, the eye of time and space, just like you think, through which you can see any corner of the universe at will, but unfortunately it can only be viewed in one direction, but it cannot transmit the sound of the past......"
But this was enough to make Mu Chen excited, and being able to see his familiar family again, even if he could only watch it from afar, was enough to ease the longing in his heart.
Atren continued, "I learned the lingua franca of the universe through the Eye of Time and Space, and to be honest, it's really hard to learn. ”
Atren subconsciously frowned, it seemed that he had suffered a lot in order to learn the universal language of the universe.
It is also inevitable that in order to take care of the pronunciation organs of most aliens, the universal language of the universe has simplified many words, and it is very easy to get started, but it is difficult to understand the meaning.
When Mu Chen was learning the common language, he also had a headache.
"This little girl is your sister, right?" Atren asked, pointing to the Makitsuki in the picture.
"Yes." Mu Chen nodded and said.
"It's an amazing doll, and they actually calculated the location of Tia Star, and I believe it won't be long before they find it."
This news came too timely, and Mu Chen's heart that had been hanging for many days could finally relax.
"It's worthy of Xiaoyue, it's good, go back and reward her with a few lollipops to eat......
For Xiao Yue and several people who came all the way to rescue him, Mu Chen was still very moved in his heart, listening to the meaning of the wise man Yatren, maybe he would be able to go home soon.
"Now rest assured, right?" Atren asked with a smile.
Mu Chen nodded embarrassedly.
"Let's talk about the important things...... " Atren said with a sigh.
"Something important? Is there anything you can help us with? Mu Chen asked suspiciously.
Atren shook his head: "It's not that I'm looking for your help, it's that this universe needs you to protect ......"
"Damn, what's the joke about guarding this universe? The old man thinks too highly of me, doesn't he?" Mu Chen muttered to himself.
Not to mention whether you have that ability or not, this universe is boundless, and it will take generations to do it just by exploring it, and this is still with the jump engine.
And how short the lifespan of human beings is, Mu Chen has even thought about it, after returning to Earth this time, he will find a way to defeat the mechanical race, and then resign from the post of head of the Federation to accompany his family and children with peace of mind.
"Old man, I'm afraid your request is a bit difficult for a strong man, guarding the universe? With my ability, it's hard to protect the solar system. Mu Chen decided to be humble first, this task is very troublesome when I hear it, whoever likes to go will go, anyway, the master doesn't have that spare time......
