Chapter 669: Are You Awake?
After wandering around aimlessly in the shadow city of Jiping, which had become a bazaar, for nearly an hour, and after buying a large pile of messy gadgets from those strange Atlas merchants from which dimension the Celestial Path, Bubbles, who had been working hard all day, finally yawned.
"Okay, it's not early, I'll see you when I go back and rest."
I took the magic crystal flying sword rune card pyroxene figure spirit core master ball that she had purchased for everyone from Bubbles, and pressed it lightly on the head of Zhai Luo, who was already yawning for a long time but still stubbornly clutching the corner of his clothes and unwilling to go home, "I'll help you hold these treasures, and I'll give them to others when I go back." ”
"Not sleepy...... I'm not sleepy", Bubbles' mouth opened and yawned again, and then he muttered without knowing who he was deceiving, "It's hard to finish the job, and it's a shame if you don't even have time to play for a while and have to sleep." ”
It's really the same logic as a child.,If someone who doesn't know the inside story hears the little girl say this, they will have deep pity, right? It's like the first time I saw this girl with her eyes closed and being "sealed" in the crystal prism, she was deceived, "But now, after knowing the nature of this guy, I can only show a helpless wry smile to her: "If you don't have to open one or two million trumpets every time you work, play games, watch anime, read movies, and read novels, Tu Baidu, you won't be so tired." ”
"Humph! That's only a few percent of the machine's functions! Bubbles grinned and waved her little arms at me, and the appearance of the violent host was unmistakable, but soon, she couldn't hold back the mental protest, and after her little head rubbed comfortably twice under the touch of my big hand, the dead house who didn't have enough to play came over and hugged my leg (...... Tragic height), "Well, I'll go back to the brood to rest, and you should go to bed early, don't attack people at night." ”
What kind of immediacy is this? Bubbles, do you dare to show others what you're doing with those terabytes of bandwidth every day? No wonder you keep thinking that Gilgamesh's English name is gaegameo!
After enduring the inner complaint, I was relieved for a long time after sending away the sleepy child and her mother. Gas.
Now, there's really no one around.
How long has it been since it was so quiet?
I looked at the flow of people around me, but there was no usual group of noisy little girls jumping around, and I suddenly felt a little emotional.
Usually surrounded by a group of beauties of all sizes, or a group of undisciplined emperors, I am almost used to the lively atmosphere that is completely inconsistent with my character of eating and waiting for death, and now, I suddenly entered a state of wandering alone and felt unexpectedly quiet.
…… And it's also a bit boring.
I'll admit it's a bit more fun than wandering the streets like this with those happy guys.
However, after a brief mental connection and learning that Asa was trying to carry an "oninireSrnarao" (OS) home, I decisively gave up on the idea of going to the overly happy girls now.
Compared to the boredom of shopping alone, I still think it's a little more terrifying to go around shallow and destroy my view of the world.
Just wander around aimlessly for a while, look at the city that you have built and prospered unconsciously, look at this place that has been guarded by you, and look at the people around you who have gathered around you for various reasons.
I felt that I must have been a poet in my previous life, and I always fell into an inexplicable state of literati under unbelievable circumstances.
Maybe it was because I didn't like too noisy places in my bones, and when I didn't have those happy people around me, I unconsciously walked to a secluded place, and when I looked up, I realized that I had come to a place near the edge of the assembly hall.
The daytime meeting hall was now silent, with only a handful of artisans preparing the necessary arrangements for tomorrow's event in their respective venues, and the occasional person who recognized him stopped his work and bowed to me or suddenly howled from some dark corner: "Long live the Emperor!" I was amazed by what I had walked along the way.
I said, although the undead of Zhilu Dao have very low requirements for light, considering that there are so many races around that rely on their eyes to see things, you can't light a lamp at night when your Undercity contractor team works?
Because of the tireless work of the number of low-level workers, and the lack of interest in the ongoing night market in the city, most of the craftsmen used in the Azeroth delegation are Forsaken workers, which is also the new racial pattern that has gradually formed in the Azeroth world after the peace of the world has been achieved: humans, representing the most creative pioneer elves, serving as the best artists and magicians in the world, dwarves, indispensable master blacksmiths in the Azeroth family, the forsaken, It meant the most efficient and efficient workforce, and together they formed what is now the Azeroth Salvation Army: a brotherly legion.
Of course, the above passage is only used to explain why I have to be startled by sixteen undead craftsmen working in the dark in a row less than three hundred meters.
Walking through the assembly hall, I went around to the totem area.
During the day, there were far more tourists than I expected, and the number of Hongshi Realm travelers who were interested in the heroic deeds of those imperial vassal civilizations was obviously more than everyone imagined, and countless people came to this monumental place to admire the history of those heroic races against fate, until now, "When the activities of the assembly hall have completely stopped, there are still three and three crossers standing under those huge holographic projections, looking up at the picture that has been solidified into history."
Stopped, I looked up at the nearest holographic projection, the picture it was playing over and over again reminded me of a lot of things, this is one of the monuments of the Kpru Star Zone, and now, it is showing the scene of the collective exile of the entire Kpru intelligent race before the hot start, the huge exile fleet that obscures the light of the stars in the projection passes over their home planet in the tragic afterglow of the apocalypse, like a flock of birds startled by the sound of gunfire, The images of Renault and Zeratul alternate in the background of this bleak starry sky, and the resolute expressions of the two leaders who participated in the creation of history at that moment are reproduced in the real world, and in the solidified soundstage around the monument, the announcement of the imminent end of the world announced by me and Sandora respectively at that time is playing on a loop.
Immediately after the screen cuts, the exiled fleet lands in the desolate new homeland and begins to build its second home, and the white flood generated by the hot start flashes above the projection, representing the ashes of the former hometown in an instant, and the famous speech given by James Reynolds on the desolate Gobi Desert of the New Eden Commonwealth Star at that time echoes around: "We Are Still Alive".
As with every monument, these things have not undergone any form of post-processing, they are entirely historical facts recorded by the Apostles of Hiling or the Explorers who were present at the time using their own recording equipment, but they themselves are more touching than any post-processed "documentary", and out of the corner of my eye, I saw several girls hiding their faces in front of a monument and weeping: they saw the tragic scene of the last thirty-seven knights stationed in the Chapel of the Light's Wish rushing towards the tide of demons.
"Feeling...... I am not qualified to be recorded with them in these monuments. ”
A soft young woman suddenly came to her ears, with a little emotion and admiration.
I shook my head gently: "Laura, you still speak Chinese, you really can't use English." ”
A young bishop who is always seventeen years old: "......", "Don't you think bullying girls is boring?" ”
I thought about it, but I told the truth: "Actually, I've excluded you from the category of girls." ”
“…… Well, it seems that I really don't fit to behave like the people around you," Laura spread out her hands and sighed in resignation, then looked up at the monument of the Kpopru Star Sector, "This is the first time I've faced the history of these heroes, and it's a completely different feeling from the boring words I've seen in your archives, although there are some things I've been involved in, but compared to these people who have really created the trajectory of the world, I always feel that I'm really a little under-seen." "Why do you suddenly think about it? I looked curiously at the ageless bishop next to me who was wearing that pink dress, and his long hair was almost on the ground, and felt that Lola was acting strangely today, "And it seems that you don't have a habit of hanging out at night, right?" "It's just that after praying, I still want to come here to see you, but I didn't expect to meet you." Lola had a mask-like smile on her face, but I knew that her expression was just habitual and not malicious.
"Tell you the truth, remember to add your name and address when you pray, because God is a fool."
The expression on Laura's face finally changed in real time, and now she looked depressed: "This is so bad, I love you like a lord, but you don't care about it."
"God knows what your true thoughts are, but it seems that you are a little confused now", I smiled understandingly at the blonde "girl" in front of me, "I used to think that you wanted to find a guide to the self-salvation of humanity from the Apostle of Hitling, or that you wanted to find a strong and just enough guy to place your long-term search for an absolute existence, at first I understood that, but now you seem to be bothered by something. ”
Although it has long been known that the projection of information will have a huge impact on the "plot" and "setting", it is still relatively rare for an individual like Lola to deviate so much from the original work, coupled with the high IQ attribute of the other party itself, I have never been able to see through this woman who seems to have a stubborn purpose, and Gilgamesh, who is also very different from the "original", Laura is really a headache.
The little bubble with less than the average is the exclusive nanny who can see through it at a glance.
Laura looked at me quietly, with a flat expression on her face that made it impossible to see through her emotions: "You're right, I'm just pursuing an answer." Maybe it's ridiculous that I want to find the future of humanity. The Apostle of Hiling, a powerful race that can already be called a god, is desirable, and what your people embody may be the only way out that humanity can find if it wants to move forward, or at least the only way out that is determined to be feasible, perhaps you have already thought of this: not only me, but the leaders of every vassal realm gathered around the empire have this idea, and everyone is trying to find the way forward of their civilization from the Apostle Hiling, an being who has reached the truth, This is especially true of worldly realms like ours, which can only be regarded as weak. ”
I was silent for two seconds, and I looked confused: "I really didn't expect that." ”
Lola: "...... Can't you pretend you've thought of it? ”
"Well, why did you suddenly sigh back to the topic just now?"
"I just feel that what I have done in my life is ...... to them," Lola said, pointing to the other heroes and leaders of the world on the monuments, "It's really a little insignificant compared to their exploits, it's just a personal feeling." It is also when their own world is facing destruction, each of them is fighting hard, even in the face of death, even if they are defeated in the end, at least they have fought, and they have fought with you Only we have fate - think about it now, when the end of the world world comes, we are still busy with racial infighting, because of the difference in ideas, so that such a small world is cut by the forces of all parties, and when meteorites fall from the sky, "we will only scatter and flee, It's completely waiting for the savior to save it, such a race, it's really a pity......"
"Click!" , a hand knife, unmistakably smashed into the head of the largest bishop who had fallen into an inexplicably low state. Then I and the other party were together for a while.
Damn, get used to it.
Suddenly realizing that this aunt bishop was essentially different from the girls under me, I quickly jumped half a meter before seriously criticizing the nose and educating him: "The situation is different, at that time, you guys fought against it!" "So those are just personal feelings," Lola rubbed her head, "I'm not disappointed in my race because of the slightest unsatisfactory performance, but I just think that among all the vassal worlds, I represent the weakest force, and compared to the other worlds, I am just a little depressed." ”
Not to mention that compared with interstellar civilizations such as the New Federation of Eden and the Civilization Community, but compared to the magical civilizations like the Azeroth World Realm that can already use arcane to explore other planets, the magic side power of the Forbidden World Realm represented by Laura is really a bit weak.
This sudden discovery came to mind, and I couldn't help but think about it...... The current vassal power of the empire is still a bit unsatisfactory, but to ...... How can we make up for this shortcoming?
Events such as carnival may play a role in allowing the worlds to communicate with each other, exchange their advanced theories of strength, and perhaps improve the strength of some weak civilizations, but this should not be enough.
Lola saw a contemplative look on my face, as if some of her goals had been achieved, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "Then, I won't disturb your thinking." ”
"Yes," I nodded, and then stopped her again before she turned to leave, "Lola, if you have something to say in the future, you old problem of always intriguing with others will be a little more restrained in front of me." ”
"The ...... I'm very sorry ......", after Laura left, "I began to think about the current issues of the Empire's vassal world, such as how to increase their strength without interfering with their normal development, that fox girl may indeed meet me here by chance, but her words must have some purpose, such as fighting for some benefits for her own world."
There is nothing surprising about this, there are more and more vassals of the empire, and countless races are participating in the battle against the threatening power of various worlds as servant armies of the empire, and they have also received tangible benefits in the process, that is, from a civilization that has reached the apex, for the intelligent civilization with the first goal of development and progress, this kind of guidance that can save them hundreds of thousands of years of detours is an unimaginable benefit, but after all, there is more than one vassal world of the empire, then" It's a question of who gets more attention.
The strength is strong, and the race that is good at fighting will naturally make great achievements on the battlefield as their greatest capital, but it is relatively backward, and the world world with weak strength will have to find another way, and Lola's words today are obviously to remind me of one thing: don't snub those weak "children".
It may be due to their location, and neither Sandora nor I have paid attention to this, but Laura has realized that if the power of the Demon Forbidden World Realm that she represents continues like this, sooner or later, they will retire from this stage of the realms built by the Empire: compared to the magical civilization that has hundreds of thousands of years of history or the interstellar civilization that has colonized the universe for a long time, a civilization that has not even left the earth and has survived thousands of years of seniority is really lacking in stamina.
I don't know how long it took for me to hear footsteps suddenly interrupt my thoughts.
Noticing that the footsteps were coming at me, I looked up in confusion, only to see a silver-haired girl looking at me with a smile.
"Sylvia?"
I was a little surprised to greet the other person, "Why are you still hanging out at this time?" ”
I have the impression that Sylvia is a good baby who closes the store on time at ten o'clock and goes to bed, is this girl lost again?
"It's just curious, such an event has never been held in the empire in my memory, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting.
The silver-haired girl in front of me said with a quiet smile, looking into my eyes.! ~!
