Chapter 40: G2 Alliance?
The two of them flew high in the air, looking down on this strange land.
On the shores of the dark ocean lies a tall and abrupt volcano, where the portal to another world stands.
The scorching magma continued to flow down from the volcano, forming magma lakes, and the surrounding climate seemed to be a little strange, thick clouds gathered on the horizon, lightning lit up the gloomy sky from time to time, and at the junction of magma and the ocean, a large amount of smoke formed a raging storm, floating in the air, turning into a strange blood cloud.
The stars hung in the sky, silent.
Rhaegar looked at the hellish scene and said, "This is not a place for people. β
Qi Xiao nodded: "I agree, let's go to the front and have a look." β
The two of them flew over the volcano and galloped all the way to the "south", until they were more than ten miles away, and the hot and foul air gradually dissipated.
The two of them walked out of this red and desperate land and looked at the gray and dreary grassland in the distance, this was a new beginning.
A vast grassland gradually appeared in front of the two of them, and the endless wild grass rolled and jumped in the wind, and the hunting sound was like a huge mighty lynx, which raised its back; The dead leaves and withered grass were swept away by the wind and turned into black spots.
As far as the eye could see, the wildly growing weeds spread endlessly, and the refreshing wind struck, and neither of them felt refreshed.
"It seems that at least there is grass in this world." Rhaegar said.
"What else would those guys eat?" Qi Xiao said with a smile.
Rhaegar Norris looked ahead, on the horizon, a starry night sky, so dense and bright that the grasslands even merged, and above the starry sky, there were huge and unimaginably large planets, their bodies shimmering with silver light, and at the edges of several planets, a ring of bright light could be seen.
"The sun has set, and it seems that this planet will always have stars, day and night." Rhaegar muttered.
Qi Xiao greeted the fresh, dry and cold air, refreshed, and said, "I don't know what else is in the distance?" β
Rhaegar nodded, "Let's walk for a while, and then hurry back, there is no need for a basket in the portal." β
Qi Xiao nodded, and the two of them sped forward again, skimming over the prairie that seemed to be never-ending.
Along the way, they saw small, transparent jellyfish-like creatures floating in the air, and huge flytraps with teardrop-like spots that spiraled in the wind; A meadow was blown open by the wind, and the ground was full of small beasts with colorful skin, such as geckos or tree frogs, screaming and fleeing.
From time to time, birds of prey with four wings would fly in the sky, roaring and stretching, their posture slowly condensing and energetic, like a beautiful and tyrannical big tabby moth.
At this moment, it is close at hand, and even sees its bat wings stretched out one by one; It roared, all four eyes looking at the two of them, as if looking at the next prey that should be swallowed into its belly,
Qi Xiao lowered his head and saw a huge black, bare, six-legged wild dog preying on a strange giant rhinoceros with a hammerhead shark-like head, a small mosquito bird shuttling through the forest, a mist and water droplets hovering over the wetlands and swampsβall of this surrounded him, propelled him, and squeezed him into the air.
"These creatures ...... Incredible. Rhaegar sighed.
"That's typical...... Anyway, no one sees it, so it just grows casually. Qi Xiao explained, "And then it grows into this bird." β
Finally, at the end of the grassland, the two saw a large, towering black castle looming in the distance, taller than the giant volcano.
"It seems that this is the architecture of their planet, and there is nothing beyond imagination." Qi Xiao stopped and said.
"Hmm." Rhaegar nodded, "Let's not go over yet, there's no need to provoke them now." β
He paused for a moment, then turned back and asked, "How far have we gone?" β
Qi Xiao smiled: "I know there, anyway...... Quite far. β
"It should be a safe distance here. We need to call in reinforcements. β
The two of them returned to the portal above the volcano and looked at the door carved with all sorts of strange carvings and runes.
The majestic gate stood, flanked by huge black columns, and Qi Xiao noticed that there was a blue-white light flowing on the column, as if there was life in rhythm.
On the large empty platform in front of the gate, there were complex runes depicted in dark red suspicious paint, glowing with black-red mist.
As soon as he focused his attention on one of the cylinders, he heard a cacophony suddenly sound in his head, and the light on the cylinder seemed to appear a vague light, as if it was making a response.
There was a pervasive depressing, gloomy atmosphere, but at this time, it was slowly subsiding.
"It took the UN 50 years to get through this door, and it took us only one morning." Rhaegar looked up at the Stargate and said slowly.
"If you count it here, it should be afternoon." Qi Xiao said.
"Celebrate?" Rhaegar magically pulled out two thick gadgets.
"Cigars?" Qi Xiao was stunned for a moment, but then took one from Rhaegara's hand, "I'll try this thing." β
"This is the tradition of the airborne division." Rhaegar laughed, "To celebrate the victory." β
The two lit cigars on the magma flowing on the ground, and Qi Xiao raised his hand and signaled: "Hail the whistling eagle." β
Rhaegar smiled proudly and said with a smile, "Respectfully...... Flame. β
The Chixiao Sword in Qi Xiao's hand obviously left a deep impression on him.
The two of them finished smoking their cigars quietly, and Rhaegar turned his face sideways, looked at the huge pillar, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe we should set some rules for those guys outside the door." β
"What rules?" Qi Xiao asked puzzled.
"With great power comes great responsibility, and other transcendents simply don't have the ability we have, they can't overcome the kind of danger we just experienced, and even in difficult moments, they don't choose to stand with us."
"They chose ...... Await. Rhaegar said slowly, word for word. It may not be a betrayal, but it does reveal their ...... Weak. β
In the face of the fear of the unknown, only the two of them stood up, and now Rhaegar had to settle the score.
"Wait, you mean like Jacques." Qi Xiao asked.
"Yes, you're familiar with Jacques' combat abilities, and I'm magically immune. If I'm not wrong, Jacques and Ian together shouldn't be able to beat either of you. Rhaegar turned around and said frankly to Qi Xiao.
"And I'm no match for you, a monster." Qi Xiao sneered, but he didn't say it, he was silent for a while: "Then what do you mean?" β
"On the side of the door, you and I have the final say." Rhaegar said happily, "We can't let meaningless arguments and negativity ruin this expedition!" We should make the rules of the world together, and we should have veto power over everything. β
"Just you and me?" Qi Xiao asked.
"Yes." Rhaegar simply threw out his plan.
"What's my birthday?" Qi Xiao suddenly asked thoughtlessly.
Rhaegar was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Qi Xiao to suddenly ask such a strange question: "How do I know this?" β
Qi Xiao chuckled: "I don't even know my birthday, am I familiar with you?" We haven't known each other for even a month, and you're going to work out a rule with me to conquer the world? β
Rhaegar stared at Qi Xiao with a slight hostility, he didn't understand why his opponent gave up so easily when he obviously threw out an olive branch of an alliance with good intentions.
He didn't even think about it for a moment......
"You don't understand me, and you don't understand the Chinese." Qi Xiao said sincerely, "I think, 'The greater the responsibility, the greater the ability required'." Can we sweep the entire planet with just two people? No. We need more human capacity. Only by uniting the united front and uniting all the forces that can be united can we accomplish this goal. β
"That's how you see the world?" Rhaegar asked coldly.
"Yes." Qi Xiao raised his voice, "Whether it is here, or our world, there is no need for a ruler and a potential challenger to create a pattern, but balance and harmony. The transcendent ones appear for security and peace, not for world control. That's our ultimate goal. β
After Qi Xiao finished speaking, he faced Rhaegar and looked at him frankly and sincerely.
"This expedition was originally the result of mutual compromise. We should unite. Seeing that Rhaegar was silent, he continued, "Everyone is a community of interests, just like being in the same boat, only interests can form an alliance, and no matter how nice the words are, it is useless. β
Rhaegar turned his head with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "...... they deserve it?" β
"This planet is big enough to accommodate the five of us, and I think there needs to be a new relationship between the five of us." Qi Xiao took a step forward and continued.
"To put it bluntly, my point of view is that between the five of us, we can sit down and talk about anything. Negotiation is a mutual compromise, and only in this way can we win both, or many, or even both. Qi Xiao stuck Chixiao on the ground and finally made a concluding speech.
"You're saying that in order to win, we need to be united?" Rhaegar seemed to ask Qi Xiao, and seemed to be talking to himself, and it could be seen that his mood was also very conflicted.
"At least for now."
Rhaegar raised his eyes and looked at Qi Xiao, and was silent for a long time, as if he didn't know him, pondering for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll go and call the others over." β
Rhaegar slowly walked towards the portal, Qi Xiao turned half of his body slightly, took out a small note from his pocket, and exhaled in a low voice: "Fortunately, the small note written by Ambassador Dong was not lost...... It's a tiring thing to say......"
After saying this, he pulled out the Chixiao Sword, and his figure suddenly rose from the ground, like a crimson flame arrow, and in an instant, the crimson color dyed the sky.
In this land of eternal starlight, the wind passed without a trace, but he still stands.
