Chapter 822: The Ghost Lighthouse

Outside the window was a pitch-black void, with the occasional distant star.

There is no trace of his hometown.

The exploration ship relied on the installation of a liaison post station and a rear contact, but has now gone far beyond its connection.

In other words, it's a drifting boat.

The voice of the liaison bin was heard from the Wind Mother.

"Everything is normal, brothers. The strange sound of the Lian Post Station was the loosening of the base below, and the sound made in the turbulence, some of which was like a knock on the door, not a visit from some void monster. ”

"Brother Shelby, you've got to fix this thing."

The maintenance man, Shelby, had a loud voice: "I'm still checking the Elemental Well, you can find some cork chips over there, and you can stabilize it by padding it in." ”

"Wood chips?"

"Of course, even I used to do that. There weren't that many supplies available on this ship, so you had to use what you wanted...... The plastic piece on the edge of the base of the magic well is deformed, and I have to get busy with this first. ”

Bing asked, "Is wood chips okay?" ”

"Yes."

……

In the Wind Mother, the two colleagues were still talking.

Francis, in the driver's seat, looked out at the crystal window, and the crystal face reflected his clumsy and heavy overalls.

Through the crystal-framed helmet, a Y-shaped crack can be clearly seen on the white skull inside.

This is the birthmark that Francis had when he woke up from the [White Bone Mound].

He moved his cervical spine and made a soft click.

Sitting for long periods of time can also cause damage to the bones.

As a white bone ancestor, you must learn to protect your bones, and healthy bones are the foundation of everything.

Once upon a time, Francis wanted to be a good magician.

As a hot new class of the Yao people, magicians can create all kinds of spells by writing magic runes, and can change the world by sitting in a room, and magic charms are considered to be the closest power to divine power in this era.

After the actual contact, Francis learned that talisman development is very difficult. The intricate and obscure runes, as well as the daily failures of attempts, frustrated him.

He is proficient in using basic Rose Talismans, but he can't develop new ones.

The Rose Talisman is a simple talisman created by the master Vasily, but even based on this, it is not easy to develop a new functional talisman.

The daily life of most magicians is to use the existing talisman segments and talisman sentences for secondary processing - it is a kind of advanced skilled worker.

The harsh reality shattered Francis's dreams.

After graduating from the Wizard Abbey, Francis chose between a full-time Darker and a Voyager. The former needs to go to the Dark Civilization for further study, while the latter can explore the unknown void.

[Voyage Flying Boat] is closely related to magic talismans, and many functions and connections on the flying boat are completed by magic talismans and plastic tablets.

Due to the extreme danger of this work, only undead and special elemental beings are currently recruited.

Francis mastered the techniques of magic talismans, demonology, theology, engineering, etc., and was a white bone ancestor, and he was able to get on the ship after passing the examination.

According to the process, the new voyager will have a few years of internship, rotating in the three types of voyage flying boats: [exploration ship], [patrol boat] and [gunboat].

Today, there are four voyagers on this ship, the main pilot Sock is a [gunboat] pilot with 12 years of work experience, the co-pilot Francis has been a [patrol ship] pilot for 4 years, the liaison Bin is an expert in the company station, and the maintenance man Shelby is a flying boat engineer.

They were assigned to the Ghost Lighthouse, along with 53 other exploration ships, and embarked on this historic first voyage to the outside world.

This is the first time that the Yao people have left the world with the power of civilization and entered the depths of the void. This time, they no longer hide under the protection of the wings of the gods, but take their own vehicles to embark on a journey of exploration of the unknown void.

Each exploration ship is named after a Yao wonder, representing the steps taken by the Yao civilization to the outside world.

What awaits fate ahead, no one knows.

But every one of the 54 voyagers knew that after they set off, they might never be able to return to the Yao tribe. The difficulties and challenges ahead need to be solved on their own, and they still bravely accept this challenge.

Just like the oracle of the god of Fahai said.

"Of course, we can also slow down and start with the most basic fragments of the gravel world around us, and look for some traces of possible existence...... Those are the basics, and someone is always doing it. But on this journey, we have to go out, and the beginning of any new attempt is the most difficult. ”

"Conquering the Void is not something that can be done overnight, but there will always be someone who will take the first step, just like the first time we assembled the first track outside the Cloud Temple, and the first time we sailed the flying boat into the Ring Realm Group."

"There's no shame in saying no."

"The participants will receive the greatest support from the Yao civilization, we will solve all the financial burdens for you, give you the best training environment, and I will continue to pay attention to you. Just pray, and I'll hear you—but I have to stress that this is an extremely dangerous mission, and even the gods may not have time to save you from danger. ”

"The Void is unpredictable, prayers can fail in some areas, the flying boat may fail, and it may even happen so suddenly that you don't have time to pray and react......"

The words of the gods are plain and sincere.

"If you are ready to take on all these challenges, then pray to me. I will hear your voices, and your names will be recorded in the annals of the Yao people, and your feats will be remembered forever. ”

The reason Francis came on board was because he wanted to do something different.

Although he knew that he was a white bone ancestor with no special talents, he still wanted to leave something behind.

The void is empty and lonely, and the flying boat always goes from one long night to another.

The shining dots of light in the darkness seemed to be not far ahead, but no matter how they flew, the distance between the exploration ship and them never narrowed.

The rear is the hometown that you can't go back to, and the front is the distance that you can't reach.

The flying ship is so small in the void.

The Ghost Beacon's mission is to take off through a specific orbit and advance along this side, looking for the debris worlds that exist along the way.

In the Void Universe, there are the most gravel worlds without life, and the number of fragmented worlds is not small.

This kind of world is the place of advent of the apprentice gods, with a rich variety of life species and a more suitable environment for survival, and it is also a relatively safe world, not as dangerous as the kingdom of the gods.

The voyage of the [Exploration Ship] has to avoid the kingdom of God, and at the same time search for traces of the fragmented world.

Fortunately, the magic talisman provides a lot of convenience for the flying boat, such as the shell of the boat body is made of plastic pieces and magic talismans to create and install, and it has the ability of [camouflage].

In addition, the entire exploration ship belongs to the [Sparrow-class] of medium-sized ships, although the speed is not fast, but it is better than dexterity and concealment.

The real voyage is completely different from the rumored story of ups and downs and thrilling.

For the past 12 years, Francis has been in the same stream for the vast majority of the time.

Inspecting, maintaining, documenting, and confirming their condition......

In a way, boredom also represents security and stability.

It's shift time today.

Francis handed over the driving task to Sock, exited the cab, and entered the rest room at the back.

He removed his helmet, removed his skull from his spine, examined the cracks on it, and then applied some grease to the joints all over his body to make sure it didn't dry out.

Francis then disassembled his arms and checked them one by one to make sure that his fingers were dexterous enough to use the tools.

The Bone Ancestors did not need to feed, but they needed to maintain their relatively fragile bodies more frequently.

Next to him, Bin is wrapping a bandage around his arm bones.

He said, "I've been thinking, we're made of bones, right? But why is it that the skull can live without being broken, but not somewhere else, why the head? I mean, why not prepare a few more heads, so that one that breaks and has a spare one won't die, right? ”

To this question, Francis thought for a moment: "There will be a quarrel. ”

"If it's two or three heads."

Francis expressed his opinion: "Then a few heads will fight over a body, who controls the body, and who is the spare?" No one is convinced. ”

"Makes sense." Binggaga laughed: "Just like those who are married, two people will quarrel every once in a while, and then maybe the next one will continue to quarrel. ”

"In this way, we are the real top of the biological chain, and we are the ultimate form of living beings. You see, we don't have to eat, we don't have to drink, we don't need so many things, we can live alone, we can bury ourselves and sleep, for hundreds of years, thousands of years, as long as we don't have dogs or rats or things like that gnaw off our heads, we can live forever. ”

Bing held out his hand: "Thank you, buddy, this doubt has been bothering me for years. ”

Francis high-fived him and let out a snap.

At this moment, a sharp siren suddenly sounded inside the ship.

Francis and Bing immediately reflexively put on their helmets, locked their overalls, and secured themselves to the protective pole next to them.

The entire ship began to flip and shake violently, and the two Voyagers were knocked around inside. Some kind of tremendous pressure pressed Francis to the ground and lost consciousness in his skull.

……

I don't know how long it took.

Francis wakes up from his slump of rubble and finds himself in a pile of rubble, or more precisely, his own skull. Surrounded by various crystals and metal fragments, a crashed ship is not far ahead.

The impact should have thrown his skull flying - the helmet was strong enough, otherwise he would have had his head shattered and died.

Francis rolls his skull, allowing himself to roll all the way to the wreckage of the ship. It found a spare special thick forbidden stone box, broke two teeth, bit open the outer buckle, opened the box, and found a spare shell inside.

He found his spine, ribcage, and hands and feet, and quickly stood up slowly. It's just that its body is a little shaky, its balance and dexterity are lacking, and it still needs time to get used to this new body.

Francis then pulled out a pair of torn overalls from the rubble, no matter how many, put them on, and then began to search for traces of the other voyagers.

He found Bing's skull, which had been knocked off his neck and stuck in a corner, but his body was mostly intact.

However, the main driver, Sock, and the maintenance man, Shelby, found only scattered skull fragments and confirmed that they died in the accident.

Francis and Bing bury their two companions, gathering the remnants of the ship's materials and supplies as they begin to examine the world.

It was a very ordinary desolate gravel world, full of gravel and yellow sand, with no wind, only a dim sun rising and setting.

When the sun rises, the surrounding visibility is a little higher, and there are thick clouds in the sky. When the sun goes down, the whole world begins to fog up, becoming foggy and with very little visibility.

Francis and Bing each carry a [Black Magic] on their backs to guard against possible enemies.

It took them two days to build a base camp out of the wreckage of the flying boat.

At the same time, they also officially determined that the magic well, even the post station and the wheelhouse of the flying boat had been destroyed, and only some supplies and tools were still available in the small warehouse at the bottom.

Francis and Bing begin to save themselves. They first piled up the idols of Yao and Fahai, and prayed to them, but there seemed to be no response from the idols.

They then piled up a ring of low walls out of stones, which was used as the outer fortification of the camp.

On the fourth day of their arrival in this world, a strange visitor arrived.

"Hello, stranger, can you understand me?" The comer waved his hands and spoke strange syllables.

Fortunately, the mint is still there, and communication is not a problem.

"I didn't mean anything about it, I just saw that you seemed to have fallen within the borders of our country, so I came all the way to check it out."

Francis and Bing looked at each other.

The visitor has a kind attitude and is a young man with a kind face.

Slightly taller than the two voyagers, he was dressed in a sumptuous robe and a peacock feather crown on his head, and he looked like a nobleman or a singer and dancer of some country.

There's just a catch.

He is a piece of paper that walks upright.

It's a paper man.
