Xiling Empire

Chapter 767: Unlocking the Legacy

From the beginning, I always felt that I might have forgotten something. This feeling became more and more serious as time went by. It was not until I finally couldn't help but start counting the number of people at home that I finally realized that the disaster might have been brewing for a long time. It's been six hours.

I thought of the mercury lamp that wrapped myself in a quilt because of the poor sleeping condition, and the high-strength noose I used to tie her to the bed together.

This incident flashed into my mind like a bolt of lightning across the sky, stimulating my trigeminal nerve all the way to the cervical nerve bundle. I almost saw in my hallucination a furious doll girl rushing down from the second floor at supersonic speeds. , after knocking away the passing little bubbles and the soy sauce Lilina, he threw himself on me, holding my head and gnawing wildly for a while, and I soon discovered that this was not an illusion, with every second on my scalp The stinging pain that reached seventeen or eighteen times testified.

Later, I learned how the little doll escaped from trouble: Mercury Lamp slept until after ten o'clock, and then discovered someone's nasty joke. For more than half an hour, she pulled, pulled, kicked, and kicked hard. My son tossed my quilt and bed. In fact, the quilt was almost completely destroyed by her in the first five minutes. However, the strong composite rope was a huge problem. The only one and a half small tiger teeth left by the mercury lamp made a great contribution. Two-thirds of the rope was broken, and my bed was turned into sixteen parts of different sizes under the little girl's strange strength. The initial diagnosis was that it could only be used as firewood.

After escaping from the trap, the mercury lamp kept waiting angrily on the second floor. She arranged twenty-eight mouse traps, fifteen banana peels, and two buckets of cold water mixed with ice on the door, and She prepared a holographic device facing the door and a belly full of resentment, but her prepared patience was obviously not enough to cope with such a scene. When we were not back until lunchtime, the little doll began to panic and planned to Go to the door to check the situation - one thing to point out here is that if she could not be too shameless and openly ask Anweina for help, maybe there would be no subsequent series of disasters.

But the hypothesis can only be a hypothesis. The moment Mercury Lamp opened the door, she activated all the mechanisms...

That's why the little doll that rushed down from the second floor was wearing a different set of clothes, with wet hair, and was far more angry than I imagined.

Although I want to say that her disaster experience in the second half was all self-inflicted, I know that it is unreasonable to talk to a doll girl who has entered a arrogant state. An Weina apologized profusely next to her: she didn’t ask the mercury lamp to come down for dinner at noon. It was only then that I was surprised to find that the room was in a mess, and by the way I saw the unlucky girl covered in mouse traps and banana peels. At that time, the anger of the mercury lamp could no longer be suppressed.

"Why didn't you remind me when I came in just now?"

Carrying the mercury lamp that was still scratching and biting, I felt very depressed.

"The master is talking about business, and the maid can only stand beside him."

Anweina said very seriously.

I always feel that this sentence is full of points worthy of refutation, but if Anweina says it, it is completely powerless to refute it.

The silver-haired doll girl vented her anger on my head before she climbed down grumbling. At this time, Milia also finished taking a shower and appeared in front of us after changing into the clothes Anweina gave her.

The originally dirty girl washed away the dirt on her body and put on new clothes. She finally looked radiant. She was completely different from before. She had smooth blond hair with a shawl, blue-brown eyes, and fair skin. , and the youthful face that is right between a girl and a lolita. Although it is not as cute as Pandora or as beautiful as Sandora, it has a cuteness like the girl next door, which makes We exclaimed in surprise and lamented the greatness of Safeguard and Rejoice.

"It feels a bit tight." Milia tugged on her clothes uncomfortably, as if she wasn't used to the clothes of this world. Of course, it's not ruled out that this was an implicit mockery of the troublesome Shirai Kuroko's washboard. figure. How pathetic, Kuroko.

"Well, when can you take me home?" Milia found that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and then she remembered the issue she was most concerned about now.

Shandora opened the portal to the shadow space beside her: "That takes time. Even for us, we need to lock the coordinates for cross-world transmission. Of course, if you can cooperate, use the information terminal in your hand, maybe You can go home in a few days.”

Milia opened her mouth wide and looked at the space door that appeared out of thin air and flowed with mysterious light. She came from another world and could use summoning. She should not be so surprised by these surreal sights. What really surprised her was another thing. : "Wow... who are you? I have been in this world for more than a month. Ordinary people here don't seem to know what magic and spiritual power are like. Why do you know these things?"

"We? We are just aliens among humans." Lin Xue shrugged, with a very subtle tone, "Then there are non-humans among humans, super types among non-humans, and fantasy species among super types. We are different from ordinary people outside. Too much the same.”

Before Lin Xue finished speaking, I thought to myself that this was still a conservative estimate. You can't be serious with the head of state and his family. We guys, forming a circle would be enough to hold a People's Congress of All Nationalities...

"Do you want to go in?" Milia looked at the space door in front of her uneasily, and seemed a little unconvinced by "the mysterious technology of this world". Lilina pushed her waist from behind and walked in: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Stop talking nonsense and come in quickly. Anyone who travels to this world has to stay in the Shadow City. Running around outside every day will make it very difficult for the goddess of this world. Just take advantage of it. Unless there are special circumstances, most people would think If you enter the shadow space, you won’t be able to get a temporary residence permit even if you don’t have any achievements in saving the world!”

After the two of them disappeared into the portal, the rest of us followed Lilina and Milia in.

This time, the exit of the space gate was set up in front of the military passage near the Dimensional Hub Square. Directly opposite the passage was the most interstellar science fiction military zone in Shadow City. Milia's jaw was almost dropped when she came out of the portal. He stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth wide open. A military base full of metallic textures and strong lines, a majestic array of dimensional gates, towering ghost energy towers, and various flying objects constantly shuttled between these magnificent futuristic buildings: high-altitude military inspections planes, low-altitude civilian shuttles, the magic flying carpet of the blood elves, the golden two-headed dragon that was spinning and falling from a distance, and the horse that swooped down from the sky at 120 miles to knock the brains out of some unlucky scorpion. Monkey raven.

"Welcome to the backside of the world, this is Shadow City, your home for the next few days."

I felt that as the host, I should enthusiastically introduce this glorious city, but I found that Milia had already walked forward blankly, staring at the psionic energy towers in the distance.

"Holy Relics...Holy Relics!" Milia suddenly ran over, waving her arms excitedly, "It's the Holy Relics! It's so complete! And it's still glowing! Is this city built directly on the Holy Relics? Are you from the Blue Church?!"

Looking at the confused girl in front of me, I knew that she must have confused the concepts of the two worlds, and I was amazed that this guy's nerves could be so dull. Milia's reaction was so violent that in the end Lin Xue had to push her to the ground to calm her down. The other party's reaction made Sandora and I look at each other and smile, feeling that there must be an unexpected gain this time: No matter where Mobrado is, it is certain that there is a large amount of imperial heritage in its territory, and according to Milia's situation , we have reason to believe that the intelligent creatures of Mobrador have begun to use the power of those imperial legacies to strengthen their own civilization, and it is very precious that they have not gone astray because of this. There is no better news than this.

Next, I introduced the city to Milia. What was satisfying was that Milia had some knowledge about parallel space, different space technology and space replication. Although it was not very relevant, it was a little bit Remind her to understand the origin of this city. We can't help but begin to wonder to what extent the planet Mobrador has applied the empire's heritage. They seem to have mastered the alien space technology and have certain knowledge of occultism. But on the other hand, Milia knows nothing about the concept of interstellar navigation that I mentioned casually. It seems that on her planet, humans have not yet broken out of the solar system, and at most they have established colonies on satellites. This is really unbelievable: you have mastered space technology, but you can’t even build a deep space spacecraft?

"It's amazing..." Milia clicked her tongue and looked at the surrounding scene in amazement, "The technology to directly open up stable colonies in different spaces, and do those space gates actually have the power to travel through the world? You will use this to send gifts when the time comes. I’m going home, right?”

Sister smiled and nodded. She seemed to like Milia's somewhat reckless but innocent character: "Don't be afraid. Although you may think the matter is big, we have dealt with more than 100 similar time-travel incidents here. One or two pieces.”

Milia inexplicably gained the power to reassure herself from her sister's smile, and the lingering panic and vigilance finally dissipated. She looked around with surprise and eager eyes, and finally found something I still haven't figured it out: "Wait a minute, why do you have so many... these holy relics? And the holy plate... Where are you from? I asked several times, but none of you answered me directly. That’s the question.”

"Because you can't understand it even if I answer it directly, right?" I smiled, "But if I have to find a way to explain it in a way that you can understand: the so-called holy relics and holy plates are actually ours. Things—we created what you call the holy relics and holy plates.”

Milia's eyes grew wider and wider as my words continued.

"Later, due to some special reasons, we lost a lot of property. The information terminal you regarded as a treasure was one of these properties. We have never heard of what world Mobrado is, but it may have been tens of millions of years ago. Our territory…”

"Wait! You said... you said you are the ones who created the holy relics?! Then aren't you..." Milia looked here in shock, even stammering, "Aren't you... Sages? Are you kidding! How is that possible! How could a being like a sage be like you...ah, I didn’t mean anything else, but sages, they are sages, how could you be sages!"

Milia spoke incoherently, seemingly unable to accept the fact that we are the owners of the holy relics she mentioned. I don’t know how precious the legacy left by the Xiling Empire in Mobrador is, and it’s worth it. A little girl who is inexperienced in the world respects them to such an extent, but Milia's statement is really rude: What do you mean we are like this? Can’t Passerby A be the head of the empire? Is it my fault that I look ordinary?

By the way, as the boss of the top civilization, I'm really sorry that we don't have three heads, six arms, and a hairy face. That's what our team is like. From top to bottom, no one looks great, except Sandora. After the transformation, I have a claw. After my transformation, I am darker than you, but don’t you think that if these girls didn’t look like this, this book would be on the path of curiosity? You have to consider whether the public's aesthetic taste is good or not!

But no matter what, in the end Milia accepted this statement dubiously. She seemed very excited and kept asking about inexplicable things such as the flash of creation, the death of saints, and great miracles. We are naturally interested in these unheard of things. One head and two big ones. Tens of thousands of years have passed. Who knows how the humans of Mobrado unearthed the empire's legacy, let alone how they interpreted the technology inside. Naturally, no one can understand Milia. understand the question.

Regarding the world of Mobrado, which we heard about for the first time, we have a guess based on experience that may be very appropriate: for a civilization that has developed from the ignorant period, it is very likely to regard super technology as some kind of technology when it first comes into contact with it. With the development of their civilization, even if they can eventually analyze these things in a scientific way, the legends and stories about miracles will be integrated into every aspect of this civilization, and they will be passed down in civilization like culture. Perhaps this is the current state of Milia's hometown. Although there have been considerable achievements in civilization, the information terminal is still called the Holy Plate and the Nether Energy Tower is regarded as a holy relic. The names of these gods do not necessarily have religious power, but they definitely represent Mobrador. humankind’s view of the imperial legacy at a certain stage of civilization.

In the end, it was my sister who used her gentle offensive to calm down the somewhat excited Milia, and ordered the service staff to arrange a place for her to live near the military zone. This is a special treatment, and in exchange, we also made a request to study her "Holy Plate". This time, Milia readily agreed to us. One of the reasons is that she felt that there was a 70% chance that we were the The second reason for the legendary "sage" is that Lin Xue took out a large stack of information terminals and vowed to Milia that if one of them was broken, she would be compensated ten of them.

The power of local tyrants is great.

When a matter is solved, it often means that follow-up work should also be carried out. Now that the source of the supernatural incident has been solved, all that is left is to clean up the accident scene: What happened to Milia's power remains to be studied, but what she left behind The trouble will not go away for a while. Every time she uses the summoning spell, the human spiritual world will materialize in a large area around it. This materialization currently seems to decay very slowly, and Milia often leaves. People in a place will still be plagued by horrific phenomena after several days, so we sent some ravens and heroic spirits to clear out these effects.

Qianqian is a little depressed. Her Love Without Borders only lasted for a few days and then closed down. This made the girl who had planned to play happily for several months pouted all day long, but I think Love Without Borders was closed. It's a good thing to go out of business: if such an organization was prospering every day, how miserable would the earth be?

Another thing that needs to be dealt with is the pile of supernatural objects that appeared in this supernatural outbreak. Most of them have self-awareness due to the residue of human spirit. Although these consciousnesses are a bit messy, they are still half of them after all. Life, after discussion, we agreed that it would be unethical to recycle all these things, but treating them as citizens would be a bit exaggerated. Later, this problem was solved by our all-powerful maid: Anweina took all All the supernatural items were taken away and said to be kept as pets...

Originally, Anweina didn't have a room. She built a nest on the cabinet in the living room. Now the ghost maid also wants a big room to put her pile of new toys. This is a very test of our world view. But this was the first time the little maid made a request to me, and there was no reason not to agree, so I had to free up the basement for this girl (for heaven’s sake, the only independent room in my house that can hold so many things is underground warehouse). Now the basement floor of the Chen family mansion has become a real howling haunted house, filled with bleeding mirrors, crying dolls, walking dolls, floating will-o'-the-wisps and Sadako. Although after actual contact, I found that those Supernatural objects are all simple-minded and easy to get along with. It’s just human beings’ subconsciousness that makes them look like this. But with so many things piled up in one place, you will inevitably panic when walking inside. Anwei Na's basement has become the scariest area in the Chen family mansion, and probably the only one in the entire Southeast Asia.

I can't believe what happened to my home.

We analyzed the information terminal in Milia’s hand, and the results confused many people: it was indeed a creation of the Xiling Empire, and its structure was completely consistent with the information terminal used by officers, but just like Sandora As was initially discovered, it had no serial number and no identification code. It is impossible for general imperial products to be without these two things. Any of our devices are members of the information link. The unique identification code is the final key that allows these devices to be used by others and to intervene in the imperial information network. But Milia's information terminal is an exception.

No one is sure what this means. The most direct explanation is that the imperial heritage of the Mobrado world has been completely separated from the "Xiling Information Network" system and turned into the same thing as the machines made by the people on earth. , according to Milia, the holy plate and the holy relics are the wealth left by the saints after they left the world, so why did the disappeared Xiling apostles unlock all their military equipment before leaving so that ordinary humans can use it? ? This is really puzzling.

Perhaps only by going to Mobrado to see the situation in person can we know the truth.
