In the choking smoke, a large number of homeless people rushed out of the room, and people kept hitting Shu Yungui's body, making it difficult for him to keep his balance, and he was pushed by the crowd to approach the door of the control room, and reluctantly rushed back with his perseverance.

He coughed incessantly in the smoke of the burning plants, his eyes stinging from the pungent gas, and Shu Yungui groped his way through the suffocating smoke, shouting Cornelies' name.

Although the line of sight was completely cut off, Shu Yungui could be sure that there was no one in the control room, and there was a deathly silence all around, and even the surging smoke gradually subsided, piling up into a ball and floating in mid-air.

Shu Yungui couldn't understand how Corneerys disappeared in an instant, and the only thing he could think of now was that she had been taken captive by a homeless person who was familiar with the terrain.

This is a troublesome matter, Shu Yungui's heart suddenly lifted, Cornelies, a girl fell into the hands of the homeless, and he injured their members just now, which is even worse for Cornelies's situation.

Shu Yungui scratched his hair in annoyance, he had known that this would happen, and he should have let Cornelys continue to disguise himself as a man.

Even if he didn't have much hope in his heart, Shu Yungui still didn't give up and continued to walk deeper into the control room, there were no windows in the basement, the air was not circulated, and the plants burned out of oxygen, and soon Shu Yungui felt that it was difficult to breathe, and every time he breathed, he had to expand his lungs hard to take a breath.

The prolonged lack of oxygen made him dizzy, unsteady on his feet, staggered and didn't know where he was going, and suddenly stepped on the air, and his whole body fell uncontrollably.

He couldn't even think of how there could be such a deep tunnel in the control room, he didn't touch the ground for half a day, but kept sliding down, and his posture changed several times before he finally fell out of the tunnel.

A large amount of air suddenly surged, Shu Yungui opened his stinging eyes, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.

This is a huge palace complex built underground, the building itself has been damaged, and the beams and columns are skewed deep underground, revealing only exquisite stone carvings and colorful paintings that have not faded after an unknown period of time.

And Cornelys stood on the top of the toppled palace hall, with her back to Shu Yungui, silently staring ahead.

The cold wind that surged up from the depths of the earth shook her long hair, and she raised her hand to pull a strand of blonde hair in front of her ear, and said to Shu Yungui, who slowly stepped forward behind her, "Isn't the ninth star, the ruins of the palace of the original Laurenor Dynasty, very spectacular?"

Shu Yungui climbed on the roof and stood beside her, looking around, only to realize that his amazement at this complex just now was still too early.

Deep underground, there is a larger circular complex, the people of the Ninth Star seem to be particularly fond of circles, all of which are built up with huge stones, looking extremely thick and old.

In the center of the city-state, a temple-like building protrudes from the ground, and the shape of this building is out of step with the surrounding architectural style, which does not seem to fit the aesthetics of this generation of builders.

"Cornelys Lauren."

Shu Yungui looked at the temple that had mostly sunk into the ground, and said softly, "You are the descendant of the Ninth Star Queen, right?"

Corneerys nodded, she was still looking into the distance, immersed in the history of the family's ancestors, and said, "That's right, the queen who completed the unification of the ninth star is my ancestor, our Laurenol family has ruled the ninth star for nearly a thousand years, and until now, it is still the absolute leader of the ninth star."

"And what is your status in the Laurenol family? What is your relationship with the current King of the Ninth Star?"

"The current King, Fern Lauren, is my elder brother, and there are twenty-seven heirs in my generation, and Fern Laurener is my cousin and twenty-sixth in line."

"Twenty-six?"

Although Shu Yungui does not have a deep understanding of the monarchy, he also knows that it is difficult for the twenty-sixth heir to inherit the throne.

Unless the previous heirs are unable to continue to inherit the throne for various reasons.

As if to see the question in Shu Yungui's mind, Cornelies explained, "Twenty-five kings before the current king

or the Queen, all of whom have died in the war against the Orcs."

This answer surprised Shu Yungui very much, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Cornelys, this thin girl stood on a high place and stood in the wind, but a straight backbone could still be seen under her not strong body.

This is something that Shu Yungui had never noticed before.

"The people of the outer city rebuked the royal family of the inner city for only knowing how to live in the inner city for pleasure and not caring about the life and death of the people, but this is not the case.

Cornelys lowered her head, a slight loss in her eyes.

"The orcs suddenly appeared on the ninth star more than twenty years ago, in order to fight against the orcs, the royal family dispatched all the troops, even the king also drove the expedition himself, in just a few years, twenty-five monarchs have died on the battlefield, can you imagine what kind of scene it is?"

"During that time, the change of royal power and succession were carried out on the battlefield, the previous monarch fell, and the clansmen around him picked up the crown and long sword, succeeded to the throne on the bloody battlefield, and continued to sacrifice their lives for the people of the ninth star, I really can't imagine the tragedy at that time, I was not born at that time, but I know that all the later written materials are not enough to describe the tragic price paid by the Laurener family for the war."

"In the face of the change of kingship and the turmoil of the regime, which has led to the instability of the military and the people, and the human race has been losing cities and retreating under the attacks of the orcs, my cousin Finn Laurener has decided to establish the inner and outer cities to preserve the last bloodline for the people of the Ninth Star."

Shu Yungui stared at her, he seemed to be able to imagine what the Ninth Star War would look like through the tragic scenes of the Hope Star War, there was no war in history that was not cruel, this was the case with the Hope Star Field, and so was the Ninth Star.

"Why didn't your cousin choose to lead an army against the orcs, as the previous twenty-five monarchs did?"

Corneerys looked at Shu Yungui with a mist in her eyes.

"Because he was the last heir at that time, and behind him, there were no adults of the right age to succeed him to the battlefield, and he had to protect the remaining bloodline from being cut off, and he must also preserve a glimmer of life for the ninth star before the orcs completely wiped out the humans."

"So he chose to build the inner and outer cities with infamy, even if he could only retain a small number of humans in doing so, even if everyone was scolding him for being cowardly, but the facts also proved that for twenty years, no orcs had crossed the city walls, and even if the humans were hard, they had been given twenty years of respite under the protection of the city walls."

The merits and demerits of a person's life cannot be commented on by simple right or wrong, Shu Yun remembered his grandfather Shu Tongze, in the era when the lighthouse was powerful, the monastery and the Sanhe Group were secretly colluding, and in the era when gene fusion technology was in full swing, he stood up alone to stop the experiment, whether he was under the same pressure as Fein Lauren.

On the road to the continuation of the human race, infamy and fame are complementary to each other.

"Then what did your cousin do when he sent you out? Was that scout team we encountered at Sisar National Wetlands sent by your cousin?"

Cornelies shook her head and said, "I don't know who sent that scout team, my cousin didn't tell me about it, and I was just a carefree girl in the inner city who didn't know about the existence of the outer city and the wilderness before he asked me to leave the city."

"And why did your cousin find you, he couldn't have known that a girl leaving the inner city was almost a dead end."

"Of course he does, but there's no other way for him."

Corneerys let out a long sigh, sat down on the roof, and said, "My cousin was injured in the fight against the orcs when he was young, and he has not recovered for a long time, and his health has deteriorated in the past two years, and he has been bedridden, and some side branches of the royal family have taken the opportunity to seize power and have put my cousin under house arrest for two years, during this time, they have issued orders in the name of the king, and that reconnaissance team may have been sent by them."

"Although my cousin is under house arrest, he knows that humanity has completely lost the possibility of regaining the lost land from the orcs, and for the sake of human continuation, he asked me to find the first palace of the Laurener royal family, which is the birthplace of the Laurener royal family, known as the place of sleep, where the secret of human continuation is buried."

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the temple in the distance, and said, "One of the twelve ships of the ancient earth human immigrants landed on the ninth star, and the human race set foot on the land of the ninth star for the first time from here, and it will also leave the ninth star from here."

Shu Yungui suddenly looked at the temple, only to be surprised to find that the seemingly strange building turned out to be the shape of the top of a spaceship, human beings actually built a temple outside the immigration spaceship, and because of the movement of the earth's crust, the original royal city sank into the ground, no wonder he saw no trace of the immigration spaceship on the ninth star.

It turns out that history has buried it so deeply.

"Your cousin wants to lead the remaining people of the Ninth Star out of this planet and re-embark on the path of interstellar migration with the help of the immigration spaceship?"

This is an extremely risky idea, it is unknown whether the god of luck will favor the same race twice, and it is not so easy to find another habitable planet in the vast universe.

What's more, restarting the spaceship and establishing a gene pool is also a very huge project, even if Corneerys successfully finds the spaceship and returns to the inner city, it will require the king to send a large number of aviation science and technology talents to debug and repair the spaceship, and a flying machine that has been dormant for more than a thousand years will still have to be restarted.

"According to my observation, the Ninth Star's current scientific and technological capabilities have regressed very seriously, this spaceship is in disrepair, it is not easy to start it, not to mention that your cousin's every move is still being monitored by the royal family, can he do such a big project alone?"

"I don't know."

Corneerys said, "All I can do is to do my best to complete the task assigned by my cousin, I trust him, he can protect the people under the claws of the orcs for twenty years, and he will definitely be able to lead everyone to fight a bloody path again!"
