Hao Ren soon received a message from Galazore and Anthony: The envoys sent by Odin had already worked. Although the Twilight Guards and Wizard Group were at a loss, they were still under the direct orders of the Steam Council The battle has been temporarily stopped, and now the two sides on the upper platform are facing each other awkwardly, and the follow-up troops of the Steam Council are cleaning up the mess—although the Dragon Queen and the others have tried their best to keep their hands back, after all, several big killers are there, and the Twilight Guard There are quite a few wounded, and the aftermath of the elevator platform may keep the Steam Council busy for a while.
But in any case, there is no need to worry about the above things.
"In the past two thousand years, I have thought about a lot of things." After Odin told the history of the establishment of the Twilight City, he couldn't help sighing again, "We are outsiders—in fact, I knew from the beginning that we are inherently powerful , or the 'heterogeneous' with powerful technology are obviously not the natives of this world, we are just poor refugees living here for some reason, but we are inflated, because this world has a group of people who are also intelligent but far weaker than us Indigenous creatures, which makes us feel that we are the rulers of this world for granted. We proudly occupy land that does not belong to us, but lack the basis for development: population, history, culture, technological system... Except those brought from our hometown We really have nothing but the fragmentary inheritance of the world. But even so, we can rely on simple **** dominance over all beings, which completely blinds everyone's eyes.
"Human beings are ignorant, we think they are born ignorant, human beings are weak, we think they will always be weak, human beings don't understand runes and technology, we think they don't have the qualifications and wisdom to touch these things at all—but in reality? They Created this Twilight City, in ways that even I can't think of... Old friend, you are right, this world belongs to them after all."
"In fact, the development of human beings is far more powerful than you can imagine, if they are not trapped in this ruins," Vivienne shook her head with a wry smile, "Do you know what is going on with the earth now? Human beings can already fly On the moon, the sky, the sea, the land, they are everywhere, and the city they built is more magnificent than any god kingdom in the age of mythology. The changes are too great... I don’t even know how to tell you.”
"Then don't say it," Odin said with a certain relief in his voice. "Anyway, my time is over. I'm glad to see you again, and it seems that you are doing well, This shows that at least some of the alien species have survived in today's world, which is somewhat of a comfort to me. In fact, I only have one request for you... "
Hao Ren suddenly said, "Help this Twilight City?"
"That's right," Odin said slowly, "I was thinking of giving up completely, but your sudden appearance gave me some hope. Since you have a way to come in from the outside world, you should also have a way to get the people here. Take people out—I don’t know if you have noticed that this city has actually come to an end. Although humans have been trying to extend the life of the city as much as possible, and have developed amazing technology under the barrier, everything is coming to an end... "
In fact, without Odin asking, Hao Ren would find a way to take away the millions of people in this city, but he subconsciously asked at this moment: "What's wrong?"
"I," Odin said flatly, "I'm dying."
Although they had expected it, Hao Ren and Vivienne still fell silent when they heard this sentence.
Hao Ren looked up at the dome of the Throne Hall. The dome was not completely closed. There was a huge circular cavity directly above the roof, through which one could see the scenery outside the fortress. He saw criss-crossing steel beams and city buildings piled up layer upon layer. The entire Twilight City was like a bloated lair, and Odin in the deepest part of the lair was like a cornerstone. weighed heavily on his shoulders.
Although the operating mechanism of the Twilight Barrier has not yet been figured out, there is no doubt that the defense mechanism of the city is entirely based on Odin himself.
Hao Ren looked at Odin again: This old man, who was sealed in the crystal and was already weakened and decayed, his current weakness is undoubtedly related to maintaining the twilight barrier all the year round.
"Maybe you don't have to die." Hao Ren exchanged with the data terminal and smiled, "I have a way to restore your health. But before that, I have to ask you something: we have a mission here Yes, we are looking for an ancient flying machine, it once belonged to the wise giant Mimir, the flying machine should be quite huge, and it was finally sunk in the Fountain of Wisdom. Its branches moved between the Nine Kingdoms, so we cannot be certain of its location now."
Vivian next to him immediately added: "If you can help us find that thing, we can transfer the entire Twilight City out at any time."
A few seconds later, Odin spoke in a hesitant tone: "Could it be a black spaceship you are looking for?"
Hao Ren was startled: "Do you know where it is?!"
Odin paused, and suddenly let out a low-pitched laugh, and then the laughter became louder and louder, and he finally couldn't restrain it: "Ha... haha... fate, fate, the three Norn sisters are always talking about fate, but I'm afraid Even they would never have imagined such a coincidence in the world..."
Hao Ren quickly grabbed Vivian's arm: "The old man won't pull it over, will he?"
Vivian frowned: "No, he already smoked two thousand years ago..."
Odin suddenly raised his voice: "Do you know what the Twilight Barrier is?"
Hao Ren was startled: "What is it?"
Odin's voice came from all directions: "The spaceship you are looking for is here."
After the words fell, a creaking and rubbing sound sounded from the depths of the ground.
Hao Ren was shocked to find that the floor of the Throne Hall was actually covered with a completely transparent thin barrier, and everything including the throne and those cables were actually placed on the barrier—the reason why he saw this was because Because the stone slabs under the barrier are moving one after another, receding towards the surroundings!
The sound of mechanical friction became louder and louder, and the entire floor of the Throne Hall began to deform. The heavy strips of stones dismantled and dispersed with dizzying laws of movement, and disappeared one by one at the roots of the walls around the hall. When the ground receded, , Hao Ren saw the secret hidden in the deepest part of the Twilight City:
In a huge cave that emits a faint red light, a huge interstellar spaceship is parked quietly.
Most of the structure of this spaceship is hidden in the deep darkness, and its specific shape and size cannot be seen clearly from here, but the only thing that is certain is that it is quite large, and this spaceship is obviously not completely silent. Dots of light flickered on the armor plate, while two streams of light snaked up from the depths of the darkness. Although the light was faint, it was enough to show that the central power system of the spaceship was still operating and was sending energy outward.
And Odin's Iron Throne is impressively built on a protruding structure on the top of this spaceship: they are completely connected together!
"The twilight barrier...is the ship's shield," Odin's voice woke Hao Ren from his astonishment, "Although I didn't know what it was at first, I found that it was blocked by Ygudora Hill The vines were sent to Midgard, and it had a powerful force inside—at that time, the Twilight City had not yet formed, and the few city-states that barely survived relied on a large number of rune barriers to barely resist the erosion of the outside world, so I thought of using this A powerful energy source of unknown origin to build a defense system."
"Damn it... You said it was a coincidence..." Hao Ren thought to himself that it was exactly what Odin said. Destiny is a wonderful thing, and the previous actions were really the right way: if he took the Twilight City Put aside the matter for the time being, and concentrate on finding Mimir's spaceship, then there may be many detours!
But then again, in fact, he also vaguely felt that the Twilight City should have clues to this ship: After all, it takes a very powerful force for a whole city to survive Ragnarok. Unlikely to be from normal humans, so he made the connection between the starship and the Twilight City at the time.
But seeing it with his own eyes at this time, he still couldn't help being surprised.
"I've been researching for a long time but I can't open the shell of this thing, but I managed to activate its shield from the outside and expand and transfer the shield over the entire city," Odin said proudly, " However, maintaining this shield requires constant stimulation from the outside, so I am sitting here, day after day, year after year, preventing the twilight barrier from going out."
