Inside a mechanical celestial body.

A dark black mist swelled at the top of the canopy, and the eggshell-shaped buildings in mid-air bloomed with specks of light, melting into the deep and mysterious darkness, and the storm seemed to be approaching at any moment.

In the dimly lit cage, the silhouette of Eru Lomme sitting quietly could be faintly seen, her beautiful silver hair soothing down her shoulders and flowing on the smooth surface of the dark crystal. She tilted her head slightly, as if muttering to herself in the murky sky, in this filthy picture, only the cage was the only pure land.

"Queen. ”

The voice that suddenly echoed in her ears made her slightly distracted, and she even thought that she was hallucinating.

"Queen, can you sense my spiritual signals?"

"Utga!?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Eru Lomei's eyes, and then she quickly concealed the abnormality between her eyebrows and eyes, trying to sense the source of her mental fluctuations. After a short search, she discovered that the source of her mental fluctuations was actually in herself, the power mark of the Lord of Light, Utga.

In the past, she had tried to contact the Lord of Light countless times in order to relay information, but due to the distance of time and space, and the interference of the dark crystal cage, the Power Mark did not give any feedback.

"You are in a very special position, and the resistance to my communication with you is very high, and only when the shielding force field is the weakest, can I make a short contact. Your husband, His Majesty the Sun King, asked me to tell you—he will surely find a way to get you back, no matter what the cost. ”

"At what cost?"

Silently chewing this sentence, her pale silver-gray eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, and she held her face with her hand to hide the relieved smile on her face:

"I'm trapped in their subspace by shadow creatures, heavily defended and inhabited by a plethora of powerful enemies. The strongest of them is called the Legion Commander, and has inheritance-level strength and is a behemoth, burning blood shadow on the outside. Through some unknown means, they have gained the ability to erode the mechanical body, and they have captured me in exchange for the Divine Source Machine, and through the erosion of the Divine Source Machine, they have gained stronger power. ”

Knowing that the time for communication was limited, Eru Lomme organized her language in the fastest way possible, telling the other party what she had just learned. In the middle of her words, her eyes sharpened, and she instructed in a resolute tone:

"Take me to tell Evan that you can't trust any of the Shadow Creature proposals, and even if I hand over the Divine Source Machine, I won't be able to go back alive. They'll come back, and once we get what they want, we'll lose even more the next time they appear. ”

"I understand. ”

The voice of the Lord of Light fell silent, like a lake that had gradually calmed down, without the slightest ripple, and when it reappeared, it brought with it Evan's answer, which was a command:

"Cooperate with all their requests, and leave the rest to me, I will not let them get their wish, let alone give up on you. ”

The communication came to an abrupt halt, and the Lord of Light's voice died down completely, and there was no more movement.

The dark world was still cold and oppressive, and the dark sky seemed to fall at any moment, and it was impossible to see the boundary between heaven and earth, like a huge prison for the soul, but this time, when Eru Rome looked at the sky again, she could see the dawn locked behind the clouds.

......

After the communication was interrupted, Evan closed his eyes with relief, silently digested the information he had just received, and turned to walk towards the new base being built in the distance.

Judging from what the Lord of Light had delivered, Elulome was indeed in the hands of the shadow creatures, and although it was terrible, at least she was alive, and the monsters with malicious intentions were ready to take her hostage and obtain the Divine Source Mechanism from their own hands. That is, someday in the future, there will definitely be shadow creatures who will reach out to them.

In order to save Eru Lomei, he must start making a plan now to kill that wave of shadow creatures in the future.

Ivan was immersed in the world of thought, like a cold robot, walking through the engineering team coming and going, and before he knew it, he had returned to the lounge.

"The Sixth Fleet has taken over Norma, and I probably can't hide the loss of my wife from them. In that case, consider using their strength......" Thinking of this, he raised the wrist of his left hand and sat down on the sofa near the wall at the same time:

"Xiaoxi, help me investigate the captain of the Sixth Fleet, I want all his information, and the more detailed the appointment. ”

"Xiao Xi received. ”

Hearing his call, Xiao Xi hurriedly jumped out of the background of the screen, and at the same time tapped the screen with his hand, poking out a half-length photo of the middle-aged man in military uniform:

"Leon Potbotalia, male, 185 years old, currently the commander of the Sixth Fleet, a legacy mechanic, graduated from the Pure Shield Academy in the space city of Goodard, and won many awards for his outstanding ability, and received funding from the Shiva Foundation, a large energy consortium, to complete his studies. ”

"Able to use the super telekinesis called the Crystal Seal, the detailed ability to keep secrets, marital status secrets, and children secrets, he once served as the head of the security branch of the Khiva Foundation, and left after 30 years of service; ”

When introducing this, Xiaoxi paused for a moment, and then turned out the number of appearances of the other party in major media: "The media's evaluation of him is generally young, humble, and capable, but he himself seems to be more resistant to media interviews, so the exposure is very low." ”

"The inheritance level that is less than two hundred years old is indeed young and promising. ”

Evan looked down and flipped through the pages of information, then lightly clicked on Leon's photo, carefully browsed his personal resume, and said to Xiaoxi: "You go and get busy first, let me take a closer look......"

"Yes, sir!"

Xiao Xi suddenly put her legs together and gave a military salute, and the avatar quickly disappeared.

Time passed little by little, the clock on the wall ticked, and Evan sat quietly on the sofa, looking through the information that Xiaoxi had found, while contemplating something intently.

One-one-one-one-one-one

Lunar base, early the next morning.

The morning sun jumped out of the horizon, and the brilliant light was cast through the large glass curtain wall of the office, reflecting the smooth marble floor as crystal clear as water—in that illusory light and shadow, like the outline of smoke slowly condensed, a figure passed through the curtain wall, silently into the office.

"Welcome, welcome. ”

Sensing the other party's arrival, Evan stood up from his seat and walked towards the figure bathed in crystal light.

From the outside, the other party is just a beautiful young man in a military uniform, with fair skin like a woman, looking handsome and elegant.

He wore waist-length blond hair, which was tied behind him in a coiled, snake-shaped headband. In the sun, delicate hair accessories and long gold-like hair complement each other, elegant and luxurious. On the right chest of his military uniform, there is a coat of arms entangled with thorns, a total of three from the inside to the bottom, symbolizing the rank of major general

"Leon has been invited, please tell me anything about the Sun King. The beautiful boy smiled at the corner of his mouth and said gently.

No one could have imagined that this young man who looked completely different from the photo, and could make thousands of girls scream, was Admiral Leon, the commander of the Sixth Fleet, the current Emperor of the Norma Republic.

"General, please ......"

Evan was going to invite him to sit down and talk, but when he walked in, he found that the other party was not an entity, but a special projection technique, so he directly picked out the topic:

"General, please feel free, I took the initiative to contact you this time to tell you the news about my wife. ”

"Your queen?"

"Yes. During the war in the Republic of Norma, due to my carelessness, the royal palace was attacked by shadow creatures. My wife was also lost in the attack...... Now I've been sure she's in the hands of shadow creatures. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Leon lowered his head, his left hand to his chest and bowed slightly, with an apologetic look in his eyes:

"The wounds that have befallen the Menes Empire are the result of the carelessness of the Federation, and we have misjudged the loyalty of the Norma people, as well as your character. We are willing to make amends, hoping to ease your pain of losing your wife. ”

The standard official apology is not sincere, and there is a sense of 'your wife is dead, don't worry about it'.

Ivan then took a step forward, looked at him face to face, and emphasized in an accentuated tone:

"She's alive! And I—I'm going to save her from the shadow creatures!"

"You can't do it. ”

Leon looked at him with an indifferent expression, like a god on high, bathed in the light of the morning sun, which seemed even more sacrosanct:

"Shadow creatures have always operated as legions, and each legion leader rules a subspace, and your wife must be imprisoned in it. It was an impenetrable fortress for me, and if the Sun King went alone, he would only be sent to his death. ”

"No, no, no, I'm not that stupid. ”

Ivan waved his hand, smiled and took a step back, while slowing down his tone: "I know the purpose of the shadow creatures, the reason why they captured my wife is to get the Divine Source Machine from me. ”

"You can't hand over the Divine Source Machine!"

General Lyon decisively interrupted him, and said without a trace of emotion:

"They're a dirty bung of bastards who only hide in the shadows and stab knives – they are known to break their promises. Even if you hand over the Divine Source Machine, it is impossible for your wife to come back, and I suggest that you better accept the reality. ”

"Why don't you hear my plan?" asked Ivan tentatively.

"Unfortunately, I refuse. ”

Leon looked at him intently, and the light in his pupils became brighter and brighter: "The Divine Source Machine is not your thing, it is the wealth of all mankind. I don't allow you to use the Divine Source Machine as a bargaining chip, that will cause the shadow creatures to grow further.
