After Tuqiu, one of the three artifacts, found it, the gray Gu mothership, which had been surrounded by a large number of small warships, quickly broke away from the battlefield and jumped out of the galaxy where Pluto was located, leaving only a group of naval non-commissioned officers who were about to fight to the death messy in space.

By the standards of naval battles of the fleet, the duration of the battle was rather short. From the perspective of the oil guy who has not participated in the whole war, this child's play war can be summed up in one sentence:

A large ship suddenly jumped into Pluto's orbit, slammed the Monastery of the Great Stone, and flew away.

Although the real name of the Monastery of the Great Stone is actually called the Tower of Angels.

At the same time, the author of all this is now lying comfortably on Russell's knees, looking at the purple starry sky outside the porthole—the Klenna sector is close to the eye of fear, which is the largest subspace vortex in the whole galaxy, which can be seen directly when you look up.

"It's really a long trip this time...... "Gray Wind muttered, "Marshal, we won't be able to return to Falla in eight years." ”

"Oh?" Russell was surprised: "Why do you say that? ”

Gray Wind showed a helpless expression: "This is the central region of the Milky Way, nearly 2/3 of the galaxy away from the Far Eastern Star Field, even if we forcibly jump back regardless of the loss, it will take about 5 years......

According to the current progress, it will take about 8 years for the Mechanic Repair Society to build the L-Gate of Pluto, and the time difference between us and our transition back to Fallas is only 3 years, so I suggest that it will be easier to stay in Klenna and wait for the Stargate to be completed for the time being. ”

"So you were counting this." Russell thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if you want to go back to Falla, we can go back at any time." ”

As he spoke, he cast his gaze on the ring-shaped machine in front of him, which was as silent as death.

"Tuchucha?" Gray Wind tilted his head: "Can it replace the Stargate?" ”

"Yes." Russell nodded:

"Tuchucha is an artifact left by the ancient saints, and it is essentially a special subspace engine, which can achieve precise positioning and instant jump in the chaotic subspace of time and space. And due to the special nature of subspace time chaos, the Tuchucha engine can even take an entire large warship through time and space, back to the past, to the future. ”

Gray Wind's eyes widened: "It's amazing..."

"—but there are drawbacks."

Russell shifted his words and continued, "Like the other two artifacts, the Tuchucha Engine actually has a certain self-awareness, and it instinctively wants to merge with the other two artifacts. Therefore, Tuchucha will deliberately guide the user on the way through the plane, and get close to the other two artifacts in the dark. ”

In this respect, the Tuchucha Engine is more like a captive subspace creature.

"So how are we going to use it? A self-aware subspace engine...... It feels like it's going to be a hidden danger. Grey Wind's eyes as he looked at Tuchucha were instantly filled with vigilance.

"Simple." Russell pushed the gray wind that was lying on his knees aside, stood up, and walked to the Tuchucha engine, which had been placed in the center of the cabin.

"Tuchucha's consciousness is actually a special kind of subspace creature in essence, and it just so happens that I have a little experience in training subspace creatures......

As he spoke, Russell smiled kindly as he gently stroked the shell of the ancient ring machinery that was silent as death in front of him with one hand.

Tuchucha's original appearance was very eye-catching, with a colorful and brilliant subspace spectrum jumping between the upper and lower rings, showing a kaleidoscopic waveform, but since it fell into Russell's hands, the fancy light and flamboyant power have been extinguished, as if dead.

"Don't pretend to be dead, or ......" Russell smiled softly, the terrifying nothingness like an abyss spread out around his body, his voice was still clear, but it was as cold as the whisper of death: "Otherwise, you will really die." ”

Then, amid the continuous wails of despair and screams that were worse than death, Grey Wind's expression changed from curiosity to fear.

Is the marshal so terrible......

A moment later, Tuchucha, who had been silent as death, re-illuminated, a soft light with a heavy flattering intent and a cautious subspace fluctuation emanating from his body, filled with deep fear.

"Alright, the training is complete, you can now use Tuchu to check back to Falla."

Russell turned and said to Grey Wind, "When you go back, remember to place Tuchucha in the core area of the 'Fódla' Creature Ark, and let Colonia hold it down. Suppressing Tuchucha's will requires great psionic powers and a firm mind...... Although I don't think it should have the courage to resist. ”

Gray Wind heard that something was wrong: "What about the marshal himself?" Won't you go back with me? ”

"I'm going to stay in Klenna for a while and talk to the governor here about something." Russell replied.

"Okay......" Grey Wind hung his head.

With the help of Tuchucha's power, the Gray Gu Mothership tore open the subspace rift and jumped back to the Far East Star Domain, carrying out Russell's next order. Before leaving, she sent Russell to the "Emerald Star", which is located on the periphery of the core star field of the Klenna sector.

Governor Krenna's greeting procession had been waiting here for a long time.

The Emerald Star is an elaborate garden world, on a planet larger than B-211 with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, but with a population of less than 3 million, most of them are employees of the service industry and dignitaries who come here for vacation, as well as their families.

Stepping on the starport, looking at the beautiful planet between blue and green under his feet through the atmosphere, Russell only felt a burst of relaxation.

B-211 and Pluto, both of which we have passed by before, are heavily polluted mineral worlds, which will inevitably affect people's physical and mental health after watching them for a long time, but billions of miners and slaves have to spend their lives at the bottom of the pollution.

"In front of you is the Emerald Star, Your Excellency Astaalti. This beautiful planet is a tourist attraction throughout Klenna and is also the private property of the Doge; Only the most illustrious personalities are invited to enjoy a fantastic experience in paradise......"

A young waitress took a step behind Russell, quickly but politely introducing him to the various special landscapes and services on the Emerald Star:

"Your Excellency the Governor has prepared a 14-day hospitality of the highest standard, where you can drink the only dew fruit wine in the galaxy on the Emerald Star, and taste delicious dishes made from native flora and fauna...... Everything you can think of is here to meet your needs. Relax your mind, Lord Astarti, and wait for you on Klentarina. ”

Astal is Russell's surname in this world, the surname of the great nobles who control Falla.

But looking at the emerald star that is as beautiful as jade under his feet, and listening to the various pleasure activities introduced by the waiter, for some reason, Russell is a little tired of this surname.

"Just call me Russell." He said lightly: "I already know the Governor's intentions, but please forgive me for not being able to accept his kindness. ”

"Ah, this ......" the waitress also wanted to introduce him to the unknown special services provided by the well-trained female aliens on the Emerald Star, but the words reached her throat, but she was choked by Russell's understatement.

"Take me directly to Klentarina, I'm here to talk about business, and I'm just here to talk about business." Russell said again.
