Good things don’t always happen in this world. There may be more bad things, but as long as the sun can still rise tomorrow, we might as well look forward to the future a little more.
Under the majestic canopy of the giant Thorin tree, a wind mixed with the smell of damp earth was blowing.
In the canopy that looks like a giant castle, countless branches and leaves rubbed against each other, making a sound like a sea tide. The birds and animals that inhabited the tree and the surrounding bushes were startled and ran out of their hiding places. , Margarita stepped on the hardened path, left the hut, and walked forward slowly.
She raised her head and looked forward. In the wonderful view formed by the huge tree canopy and the vast land, the sky became an elongated bright curtain, and a giant sun was slowly moving on the edge of the curtain.
The young female knight narrowed her eyes, and a certain depressed mood lingered in her heart. She really wanted to have someone who could share this heavy feeling with her at this moment, but in the end she could only put on a straight face and let herself return To the usual calm and serious state.
Then, a few shadows suddenly emerged from the end of the horizontally elongated sky in the distance. The shadows were against the sun, like a few small gemstones dotted on the crown of the huge sun, but soon they were flying towards the direction of Solinburg Approaching, in the brilliance of the giant sun, the outlines of those shadows became more and more obvious.
Several sentry towers in the Solin area began to emit light signals, and the orderly on duty at the communication station appeared in Margarita's sight. The soldier ran towards her quickly, but before he got close, Margarita was already guessed the situation
His Majesty has finally arrived.
The female knight did not immerse herself in the depressed atmosphere. The training of the knight and the quality of a professional soldier allowed her to adjust her state instantly, and soon came to a high ground on the edge of the tree canopy area. This is the airport take-off and landing platform. A newly built facility in the Military Zone for landing and taking off of the flying machines of the Empire.
Although the construction corps is not a front-line force, the reconstruction project of the Holy Spirit Plain has the same priority as the front-line project. In the case of a serious shortage of "Dragon Cavalry" and other types of aircraft in the empire, the airport facility has been approved here. , and a small-scale "Dragon Cavalry" unit has been stationed for a long time in case of emergency. The soldiers here are no strangers to flying machines.
The rapidly approaching shadows in the sky finally reached the sky above the Solin area. The originally blurry and small shadows showed a clear outline under the skylight. Margarita and the soldiers looked up at the sky. After seeing the appearance of one of the shadows clearly , A low exclamation and obviously heavy breathing suddenly came from all around.
There is a black dragon flying at the leading position of the entire formation! That was not the flying machine the soldiers were familiar with!
At first, some people thought it was an illusion caused by the backlight, thinking that it was just a new type of larger flying machine. After all, the propulsion wings of the Dragoon itself were very similar to the wings of a dragon, but soon everyone realized that It is really a giant dragon. She is bigger than any dragoon, with cast metal scales and powerful claws. She is wearing a set of steel armor, which glows coldly under the sun, There are runic glimmers flowing between the gaps in the armor, and it all exudes a powerful, breathtaking majesty and beauty.
The black dragon flew in a prominent position in the entire formation, accompanied by four dragoons, which clearly proved the identity of this dragon.
There is a "dragon" among the allies of the empire. It is not a secret in itself, but hearing about it and seeing it are completely different concepts. Not all soldiers have seen Maggie with their own eyes, and most of them are seeing Maggie for the first time. Seeing the "dragon shadow" across the sky, a strong impact spread among the soldiers, but the strict discipline immediately took effect. After a few slight clashes of armor, Margarita became quiet again behind her.
The female knight looked up at the sky, watching the dragon descending slowly. She had met Maggie before, and even fought side by side, but Maggie didn't have a set of advanced magic armor at that time!
The black dragon landed on the platform in the sunlight, and the accompanying aircraft also adjusted their landing trajectories. When everything stabilized and the cyclone around each aircraft gradually dissipated, Margarita immediately brought a few personal soldiers to the platform. When she got to the side of the dragon that was drooping its wings, she saw a figure appearing on the dragon's back. It was an extraordinarily tall and burly figure. He stood there against the sun, just like the dragon-riding hero in a bard story. .
A second later, the female knight immediately reacted and led the soldiers to salute beside her: "I salute you, Your Majesty!"
Gao Wen waved his hand and jumped off the dragon's back, "There's no need to be polite, time is running out."
While talking, he turned around and patted Maggie's hanging down giant wings covered with steel machinery: "Thank you."
The black dragon lowered its head slightly, and said gently and respectfully: "This is what I should do, Your Majesty."
Several other aircrafts also landed smoothly at this moment. After the pedals were lowered, figures came out of the cockpit one by one, but the only person Margarita knew was Rebecca.
Gawain had already come to Margarita at this moment, and after simply nodding his head, he asked bluntly, "How's the situation?"
"Your Majesty..." Margarita felt that her breathing stopped for a moment. After taking a light breath to calm down, she lowered her eyelids and whispered, "You are a step late... Minister Norris has already left."
The soldiers around were silent, but Gawain just looked calmly at the female knight in front of him, his tone was calm and gentle: "Margarita, don't worry about what happened so long ago?"
The female knight didn't know what the question meant, but her soldier's instincts made her answer immediately: "One hour ago, Your Majesty."
"Then maybe it's not too late for us to come and create a miracle," Gao Wen said, and then waved to the side, "Unload all the equipment and the technicians will follow, and we'll assemble it when we get there."
Under the confused gaze of Margarita and the soldiers, the group of people who had just landed immediately became busy. They quickly ran to the side of the black dragon, and then began to use various auxiliary tools and the way of people pulling the dragon back to carry it. It was only at this time that Margarita noticed the existence of those boxes. They looked like standard transfer boxes for engineering parts in the base. The gray and white shells were printed with royal marks. Moving them The people appeared to be very cautious. Although they moved quickly, they remained calm and cautious throughout. There is no doubt that the things in those boxes are of great significance.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Margarita broke the silence curiously.
"You'll know in a while," Gawain waved his hand, "Now take us to Norris's side."
Although full of doubts, Gawain's attitude and those weird boxes suddenly gave Margarita some inexplicable "hints". The female knight seemed to have guessed something. She couldn't believe her guess, but she still straightened her back. He replied loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
All relevant personnel quickly rushed to the hut near the root of the giant tree of Thorin. Two heavily armed tree men were still guarding the only gate. After Gawain approached, the tree men retreated to the sides immediately, while the wooden house The door opened in the next second, and Bertila walked out from inside.
"I'm going to do some experiments," Gawain said before Bertila opened his mouth. "I need you to assist me. You are the best bioengineering expert."
Bertila was still a bit puzzled at first, but soon she noticed several figures standing behind Gawain, Yuri and Semler, and Selina Geerfen holding a lantern. The moment of these figures, especially the moment of seeing Selina Gerfen, Bertila's doubts became thoughtful, and she looked at Gawain: "Are you sure? Norris is just a Ordinary people…”
"So this is an attempt," Gawain nodded, and walked towards the house, "Don't worry, we have made great progress in related technical fields, and I brought more than just them."
Bertila was very curious about what Gawain meant by "not only them", but the latter had already stepped into the cabin first, so she could only suppress her doubts and turn to follow, while following Gawain into the room, the rest of her eyes The light suddenly swept across something strange, as if a nearly transparent white spider flashed past her eyes, but when she focused again, she couldn't see anything.
Even if she mobilized the perception ability of the entire Thorin giant tree, she still couldn't find that the phantom spider really seemed to be an illusion.
Gawain stepped into the wooden house.
The venerable old man was lying there quietly, and the fluorescent lights from the roof and the luminous plants were softly covering him.
Everyone who stepped into the wooden house lowered their footsteps in unison, and even Rebecca, who was always the most daring, stood quietly aside.
Gawain walked to the soft bed intertwined with vines and soft leaves. He lowered his head and saw that Norris was covered with a blanket. His hands were outside, folded on his chest, gently holding the A transparent glass tube, soaking a green wheat plant in the glass tube, a calm and satisfied smile still remained on the wrinkled face of the old man, and he slept more peacefully than ever.
This exhausted body was finally rested.
Suddenly, the scene from a few years ago appeared in Gao Wen's mind. He seemed to see the pioneering camp built on a piece of wasteland again, saw the tents and huts built with wooden boards and burlap, and saw the land that had just been reclaimed. The field that came out, and the old man standing by the field, smiling humbly at himself.
He bent down slowly and put his hand on Norris's.
"I'm sorry, Norris," he said in a low voice, "I didn't ask your permission for what I'm going to do next. This is my wishful thinking. It's not really 'technique' applied to you.
"I might disturb your restful sleep, so... I apologize in advance.
"But I have to.
"The wheat is about to ripen, you should see it with your own eyes."
Afterwards, Gao Wen slowly straightened his waist, looked away, and said in a low voice to the people on standby: "Let's get started."
The technicians have already opened those safe deposit boxes after entering the house, and now they have taken out a large number of parts inside. They are disassembled brain wave modulation devices, artificial nerve cords glowing with silver light, and neat crystals. Arrays, and many things that Margarita would never have guessed useful for.
They are an incomplete set of devices, a bunch of parts built on the basis of the immersion chamber technology. Under normal circumstances, such a bunch of parts are difficult to function, but Gawain brought experts.
Seven hundred years ago, when the technical foundation in related fields was almost zero and the conditions were extremely harsh, the first generation of eternal sleepers had successfully preserved a fragmented soul by relying on manpower.
That soul belonged to a legendary powerhouse.
Now, it is of course much more difficult for them to try to save the soul of an ordinary person than it was back then.
But the technology in their hands today is far from what it was back then.
The parts were quickly assembled. Next to Norris' bed, a silver-white base was placed in place, and the signal connection with the local wireless magic network was quickly completed, achieving a stable energy supply. Then the crystal The array was adjusted and ready, and artificial nerve cables extended from the base, and they were handed over by Yuri to Beltira on the scene.
Selina Geerfen, who appeared in the room in the form of a psychological projection with a lantern in her hand, nodded slightly to Bertila: "You know what to do, and you personally participated in and completed the improvement of this technology back then.
"The location of the nerve nodes remains the same, the difference is now we don't need a destructive implant to fix them with your vines, make skull base skin contact, and finally activate those nerves."
Speaking of this, Selena suddenly showed a smile, and she looked into Bertila's eyes: "Our success rate is very high because you are still forcibly maintaining the activity of most of the biological tissues of this body."
Bertila lightly raised his hands, and several flower vines extending from the floor wrapped up those artificial nerve cords, and fitted them one by one to the target position. The former saint who had merged with the earth just smiled lightly.
"I still expect a miracle once in a while," she whispered in a voice that seemed to be talking to herself.
Margarita finally knows what these people want to do.
Rebecca, who was standing beside her, told her everything in a low voice.
His Majesty the Emperor will try to preserve Norris' soul and transform it into a mind that can survive in the empire's data network. This is not a deadly spell with huge flaws and dangers, but a brand new magical technology.
Behind this technology, there is a project called "Immortal".
Margarita wasn't interested in the secrets behind the plan and it wasn't something she should be concerned about.
She only pays attention to what is going on in this room.
The technicians were busy in the room, the fluorescent light from above gently enveloped the old man on the bed, and the pioneer hero who came out of legends and myths stood solemnly beside the bed, all of this was solemn and solemn.
Margarita closed her eyes slightly.
Good things don't always happen in this world, and there may be more bad things.
But as long as the sun can still rise tomorrow, you might as well look forward to the future a little more.
