Chapter Eighty-Five: A Four-Hundred-Year Misunderstanding
"The Eternal Remnant?!" Bucky's mouth opened wide, he never thought that the dwarfs and dark elves had been on guard for four hundred years under Thanos' subordinates turned out to be survivors on Titans, the eternal who escaped from Thanos.
"Yes, we are all survivors of the Eternals." The white-haired old man said affirmatively, and then, looking at Bucky suspiciously, asked, "Young man, how can you think that we are Thanos' subordinates?" ”
Suddenly, a ridiculous idea came to Bucky's mind, and he shook his head, and Bucky cautiously asked the white-haired old man, "When you first came to this planet, did there take a battle?" ”
"Fighting?" The white-haired old man recalled for a moment before he nodded, and said in a rather excited tone: "Yes, four hundred years ago, I was still a lieutenant, and when I first came to this planet, there was indeed an encounter. ”
Speaking of this, the white-haired old man seemed to be in a state of reminiscing about the past eventful years, looked up at the starry sky, and said: "I can't believe it, we actually met the fleet of dark elves, that is thousands of years ago, the dark elves who almost plunged the entire world tree into darkness, our eternal Titan Star is not far from the world tree, and it is like thunder for the dark elf clan." It was definitely a vicious battle, as soon as we entered the atmosphere, we found that we were surrounded by the fleet of dark elves that had been rumored to have been exterminated for thousands of years, and there were more than a dozen heavily armed spaceships, fortunately, the technology of our Eternals is not vegetarian, otherwise our Eternals would really be wiped out. ”
After listening to the white-haired old man's story, Bucky's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, and it seemed that the absurd idea that had just appeared in his mind had come true.
"Sir, how did you know about the Dark Elf ship?" Bucky asked again with a strange expression.
"No matter how you say it, the dark elves can be regarded as famous in the universe, who doesn't know their axe-shaped spaceship!" The white-haired old man seemed to be a little dismissive of this question, and replied as a matter of course.
"Do you remember if you attacked first, or if the Dark Elf's ship attacked first?"
"Why are you asking this?" The white-haired old man was a little strange: "If you are surrounded by a group of thugs with knives, and you have a gun in your hand at this time, will you wait for those thugs to slash you before shooting back?" ”
Needless to say, Bucky had already figured out what had happened, and before that, Bucky never expected that the battle four hundred years ago would be a misunderstanding from beginning to end. Both the Eternals and the Dark Elves believe that each other is the executioner of the killing, and as soon as the two sides meet, they directly act on the premise of lack of communication. This also led to the defeat of the two races of dark elves and gnomes living in the underworld for four hundred years.
Just as Bucky was thinking about how to explain this farce-like fact, the space behind the white-haired old man suddenly distorted, and a girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a very cute appearance, walked out of the distorted space, took the white-haired old man's hand, and said coquettishly: "Captain Rodney, today is the day to celebrate the birth of the thousandth baby in our Titan City, don't you go and celebrate with everyone?" ”
Only then did Bucky know that this white-haired old man was still the leader of the Eternals, but as an outsider, Bucky didn't know what status this Rodney Legion Leader had in the Eternals.
The girl who held Rodney's hand and shook it for a long time suddenly discovered Bucky's existence, immediately let go of Rodney's hand, and suddenly changed from a coquettish little Lori to a proud little queen, tilted her head, and pretended to be arrogant and said to Bucky: "Who are you, why don't you salute when you see this princess?" ”
Princess......
Salute......
The change in painting style was so sudden that Bucky didn't react at once, and looked at the little girl in front of him a little stunned.
Captain Rodney on the side smiled, and Tibaki relieved the siege: "Princess Elenor, this young gentleman is not our Eternals, but a human on this planet. ”
"Well, forget it this time." Like a haughty peacock, Elenor "pardons" Bucky's impudence.
After saying that, the space was distorted again, and Eleno's figure gradually blurred and disappeared.
Looking at the direction in which Elenor had disappeared, Bucky asked Rodney suspiciously, "Your Excellency Legionnaire, are you Eternals still monarchical, and what is the matter with this Princess Eleno?" ”
"Hehe, it's not a monarchy, Elenor is the daughter of the current consul of Titan City, and she has shown amazing talent since she was a child, and at the age of only sixty, she can already master the mysteries of space, and even understand some of the divine philosophies of our eternal race, so we all call her princess. If she had been born a thousand years earlier, I'm afraid we Eternals wouldn't have been poisoned by Thanos' butcher. ”
Although Bucky had long heard that the Eternals had a long lifespan, this princess who was still loli-like even though she was sixty years old still made Bucky feel a little weird.
"By the way, young man, I haven't asked you why you thought that our Eternal Remnants in Titan City would be Thanos' butcher's men!" Rodney then remembered what Bucky had said earlier, and why he had come to explore Titan City.
"This ......" Bucky looked around, hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain Rodney, the stakes are very high, I wonder if I can invite the other administrators of Titan City to get together and listen to me explain the whole story in detail." ”
Half an hour later, an incredible roar rang out in the council chamber of Titan City.
"What do you say? Boy from Earth, you say that the Dark Elves who almost plunged the entire World Tree into eternal night have changed their ways, but instead we Eternals destroyed their ship for no reason? ”
The man who said this was a middle-aged strong man who was nearly two meters tall and his muscles were about to tear his clothes. This person is none other than the current Archon of Titan City, Coraget, the father of the sixty-year-old pseudo-Lori princess Elenor. It's hard to imagine that such a muscular strong man could give birth to a pseudo-loli as cute as Elenor.
"I'm afraid so, Your Excellency Archon, after all, it was your Eternals' ship that fired first, and there was no time for the dark elves to explain." Facing this archon who exuded the aura of a terrifying and powerful man, Bucky was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued in a rather calm tone: "The two races of gnomes and dark elves have been transferred underground in a very short period of time, and they have lived in the underground world for four hundred years. ”
As if to test whether Bucky was lying, a wave of coercion poured out of Corregie and pressed towards Bucky like a flood.
Fortunately, Baki himself is not a vegetarian, and the spiritual power that has not been used for a long time immediately surged all over his body, although Kereji's momentum formed a substantial whirlwind, blowing Bucky's hair into a mess, but under the protection of spiritual power, Bucky's face did not change in the slightest.
"Alright, Koreji, don't be tempted." Rodney interrupted Craigie's tentative move and said, "I can sense that Mr. Barnes is telling the truth, and it seems that we did have a big oolong four hundred years ago. ”
"It's a shame for us Eternal to have such a thing happen!"
"It's all Thanos, if it weren't for the fleet he sent to chase us all the time, how could we have been like frightened birds, directly destroying the dark elf's spaceship without talking."
"Who would have thought that the dark elves would have pacifists!"
In the conference hall, several officials of Titan City whispered and discussed, all of them were lamented that they had made people feel that this oolong incident four hundred years ago was made.
"Earth Star Boy, we Eternals are a reasonable race, although the dark elves are not good birds, but we are mainly responsible for the events of four hundred years ago. Do me a favor and negotiate with the gnomes and the elders of the Dark Elves that if they are willing to live in peace with our Eternals in this land, then we are willing to compensate them for the losses they lost four hundred years ago. Craigie pointed at Bucky, and continued, "And you, Earth Star Boy, in return, we can give you the coordinates of Earth Star, and if you can break through the space directly, you can return to Earth Star." ”
"Archon Keregi, why should we compensate the dark elves, you must know that we don't have many ships ourselves, do we still have to compensate those dark elves who have a criminal record?" Before Bucky could speak, an official-looking man objected.
"It's so desolate that our 1,000 newborn children can't expand their horizons, and if we don't have more contact with other races, when our generation gets old and dies, those children will probably become real natives." Kereji sighed, recalling the prosperity of the Titan Star back then, and countless races greatly enriched the reputation of the Titans, which was also an important reason why the Eternals could become one of the most powerful races in the universe.
"Can't you send us back to Earth with a spaceship?" Bucky said with some concern: "Although I don't know how we broke through the space and teleported here, I'm afraid that the companion with spatial ability doesn't have enough strength to support such a long-distance teleportation." ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes." Rodney shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not that we're stingy, it's that there isn't a single bit of energy on this damn planet that is suitable for a spaceship, and our energy is no longer enough to support a space trip, so to speak, we're already trapped on this planet." ”
After listening to Rodney's explanation, Bucky knew that it could only be like this for the time being, although Gordon was still young, but how to say that this was also a way to return to Earth, a hope.
"Alright, Lord Corregi, I agree to the deal." Bucky reached out and shook Kereji's large hand.
At this moment, Bucky found that Rodney's face on the other side had changed, his eyebrows that had turned snow-white were furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's really lively tonight, and we have welcomed another group of visitors to Titan City." ”
