Chapter 45: Pixiu
When the fire in Sauron's pupils dissipated completely, the whole world seemed to echo with a loud sigh, the raindrops stopped falling, the waves stopped singing, and the insects loosened their mouthparts that gnawed at dead branches and broken leaves, and wriggled in the direction of Mordor.
A god fell, and there was no message of condolence except for the occasional bubble or two of the slowly flowing magma in the Doomsday Volcano.
Anduin reclined himself on the wooden chair in the center of the ship's bridge, his eyes closed, his hands resting behind his head, listening to the elegy of the planet beneath his feet.
"I have witnessed the birth and destruction of civilizations, I have witnessed the blending and separation of stars, I have stood on the corpses of thousands of races and danced, watching those epics and tragedies play out at the same time, heroes and villains, ideals and beliefs, will eventually be reduced to dust in the silent universe. ”
Anduin's voice sounded in the bridge, and the sharp voice was not loud, but it was mixed with a taste of indifferent nostalgia, "Compared to this, the fall of the gods is just the extinguishing of a not-so-bright point of light in the long galaxy. ”
The goblin merchant turned the wooden chair, looked at the white-robed wizard who was at a loss, and said, "Do you understand? ”
Saruman turned his head to look around, staring at the dark blue virtual panels suspended in various parts of the bridge, and the unclear and twisted fiber optic pipes, swallowed his saliva, and replied cautiously, "I'm afraid not, Mr. Anduin." ”
After all, the white-robed wizard was the sub-god of this world, and he saw that the invincible Sauron was almost powerless to fight back, and was killed by the goblins with a few tungsten rods, which caused a great impact on him as an indigenous inhabitant.
Is this the power of "technology"?
Saruman was nervous, and he needed to maintain the utmost respect in front of the godslayer.
Anduin nodded in anticipation and snapped his fingers, and a huge egg-shaped galactic shuttle was transported to the bridge by the slide.
"Although you did not complete the details of our transaction, it was because Sauron gained far more power than expected, and I will still give you a little compensation according to the terms of force majeure. ”
Anduin lazily got up from the wooden chair, patted the alloy deck of the egg-shaped spaceship, and introduced: "The Tasmanian devil-class individual shuttle, forty-seven meters in diameter, is equipped with a circulating life support device, a curvature engine, and a high-power 3D printer, which can basically help you with basic interstellar travel. ”
Saruman was speechless, and could only look up at the top of the shuttle ship, opening a square groove, and slowly lowering a silver maglev carpet from it, stopping at his feet.
Before Saruman could ask questions, the goblin merchant kicked him in the shin, causing him to stumble and fall to the stall.
As Anduin's whistle sounded, the maglev carpet trembled slightly, and the boarding gate of the shuttle ship with Saruman on board flew away.
"Don't worry, there is a third edition of the Galactic Travel Guide in the spaceship, after reading it, you will be able to become a glorious interstellar novice player, as for the next stop of the route, I have also set up a route for you, just four hundred light years away, a magical continent called Azeroth. ”
The goblin merchant smiled and waved at Saruman, who was struggling to hold onto the corner of the maglev carpet for fear of falling as he ascended.
"Mr. Anduin, this is not the same as we said at the beginning?!"
Saruman almost wanted to cry without tears, although the white-robed mage had a full yearning for the vast universe, it was a trip that would not be carried out until he was fully prepared, how could he be driven to the shelves like now.
"Hey, those who become big things are not informal, looking forward and backward, cowering and being an interstellar traveler. ”
Anduin laughed, watching the two rows of rails like electromagnetic cannons, buzzing and charging, and throwing the shuttle ship out of outer space with a whoosh,
The shuttle's stack of antimatter energy slowly rotated, and as the tail erupted with a dark blue flame, the shuttle shook its head to balance the central axis, and after positioning itself, it disappeared from Anduin's field of vision with a puff of smoke.
"Ah, a great time-traveler has been born, and what awaits him is a magnificent epic adventure or endless destruction?"
Anduin recited in a reading voice, pouting indifferently.
Anna, the ship's spirit at her feet, hangs an LCD screen from the ceiling, on which a feminine face is outlined with simple lines.
She said in a calm tone, "According to the agreement between you and the President, this task is completed?"
Anduin touched his bearded rough chin when he heard this, squinted his eyes and muttered: "It should be, he asked me to assist the orderly forces to eliminate Sauron, isn't this a success in killing the gods, although those orderly forces are basically dead, but this should be an uncontrollable accident, and he can't find fault with it." ”
After that, the goblin merchant's face was even more puzzled, and he muttered, "I still don't understand, what the hell is that old dragon trying to do? It's just a low-level god who hasn't even been able to fully conquer the planets, is it necessary to get me out of the federal court with a round of plasma cannons?"
"Who knows? Maybe the President has a deep meaning?" Anna pursed her lips indifferently, and then frowned and said: "That Sauron is indeed a little abnormal, how can a low-level god skyrocket in strength, and what is the source sea of that world? Is it the huge amount of energy cut by the rotation of the planet's magnetic field, or is it the consumption generated by the reincarnation of the souls of all beings?"
Anduin sighed, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Whatever, it's just a low-level god on a low-demon planet, what impact can it have." The top priority is to quickly go to the old dragon who gave birth to a son and has no fart 0 eyes, and let him sign the contract that has been completed by the agreement, and the two do not owe each other. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a sharp gaze from behind him, and his scalp tingled.
The goblin merchant gave Anna a color and whispered, "I'm here, the old dragon has arrived?"
The latter nodded silently with the LCD screen.
The long Oriental Dragon, whose head and tail had no end in sight, appeared outside the porthole of the bridge, its dark golden vertical pupils the size of wheels almost attached to the tempered glass, and looked at the goblin merchant with a solemn and condemning gaze.
The dragon's powerful intent pierced through the surface of the ship's psychic barrier shield, creating waves in the air inside the bridge, simulating the dragon's voice.
"It's not a good habit to curse people behind your back, Mr. Anduin. ”
Anduin's face did not change, he turned his senses calmly, and said calmly: "Ah, Your Excellency, it is a great honor to meet you here,
By the way, in our goblin language, giving birth to a son without fart 0 eyes is a blessing word, which is used to bless the other party only in and out, implying that the family is prosperous and the fortune is rolling. ”
The dragon president of the Interstellar Federation narrowed his eyes and said silently, "That's Pixiu, right? ”
"Hehe, it's all the same, it's all the same. ”
