The communicator quickly interpreted those strange contact signals, which came from a certain Arim floating island. Hao Ren turned on the communicator, and a male voice tried to keep calm, but his tone was vibrating: "Alien spaceship, please explain your identities, please explain your identities..."
This is the first time for the Erim elves to see strange space travelers appearing in the sky above their "home planet". Their surprise and excitement are self-evident. In other words, it doesn't matter who the outsiders are or what their purpose is, any change is a great incentive for them. Hao Ren originally wanted to experience what it was like to speak to an unfamiliar civilization, but after thinking about it, he pushed Hilda to the front: "You speak."
Hilda nodded gratefully, opened her mouth in front of the communicator, and took a long time to calm down: "Wim, is that you?"
The communicator suddenly fell into extreme silence, which faintly revealed the great shock of someone on the other end of the communicator, and half a minute later a trembling voice came: "Master?! Are you back? !"
This time it was Hao Ren's turn to be silent with his friends.
Hilda didn't notice the change in the surrounding atmosphere, but said quickly with a face of joy: "It's me, I was sent to another world, but fortunately it's okay, I got the help of the locals to return to Arim .Now we're going to land on Rising Sun Floating Island..."
Hilda quickly discussed the proper landing with someone on the other end of the communicator, and greeted Hao Ren: "Please follow those triangular cruisers. They will take us to the landing site."
Hao Ren hurriedly asked the data terminal to do so. When the spaceship slowly approached the floating island, he couldn't hold back anymore: "By the way, that was your son just now?"
"Yes, Wim is my only child. It seems that he temporarily took over as the leader during my absence," Hilda said proudly. I imagined it was better."
Hao Ren laughed dryly, thinking that these creatures with extremely long lifespans really couldn't be judged according to common sense. Hilda looked about the same age as him, and her son was already the regent—he had always accidentally treated Hilda as a girl of his own generation in the past two days, and the sense of disobedience at this moment was a slap in the face ah.
Vivian noticed the weird expression on Hao Ren's face, so of course she could guess what this guy was thinking, she leaned forward and poked him on the arm: "So you have to adapt to the longevity species, among other things, there is an archaeologist right now. There are two beads in the caveman stone tools exhibited in the museum that I used to wear... I have been thinking about it for several years and I don’t know how to ask people to come back, but my heart hurts.”
Hao Ren couldn't stop the cold sweat on his brow. He sat tremblingly on the chair and kept muttering, "You're amazing, you're amazing. You're forever... No, you've really been forever..."
At this time, the spacecraft has arrived at the sky above a floating island located in the middle of the space island chain under the guidance of several "cruising aircraft", and the details of this island are gradually presented to everyone. It is about the same size as other islands, and there is also a man-made "hoop" protruding from the surface for about half a kilometer on the outer edge. There is a hazy halo on the top of the hoop, covering the entire floating island in a nearly transparent shield. middle. Clouds of condensed water vapor can also be seen on the top of this hemispherical shield. Apparently, the Erim elves simulated an effect similar to the natural atmosphere in this magnificent creation. At the same time, everyone saw a part of the floating island that was not the same as other islands: there were many particularly huge buildings in the center of the island, and there was an extra high wall around those buildings, which was on other islands. can not be seen.
After asking Hilda, the group knew that it was the "king court" of the Erim elves, and it was also Hilda's palace. But when it comes to the royal court, those huge buildings are actually not luxurious, and there is no unique enjoyment for the queen. Its huge area is more to accommodate the council, resource elders, technical elders, island guard elders, etc. The place where the queen's family lives is just a certain spire in the huge building complex.
However, the spaceship could not land directly in the Royal Court, and there was no platform for this big guy to take off and land there. The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace arrived at a prominent point on the edge of the floating island under the guidance of the navigation signal. Here, a series of semicircular platforms are supported by a huge alloy skeleton, which is where the Erim elves take off and land the spaceship. Because the entire facility is outside the island shield, it is covered with an additional translucent barrier to prevent air loss. Under the guidance, the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace found a larger platform for its own landing. During the slow descent of the spaceship, Hao Ren noticed that it passed through a "membrane" that rippled like water. It is the same thing as the shield above the floating island.
There are already many people waiting on the takeoff and landing platform. There are no less than a hundred men and women. It seems that they should be representatives of the Erim elves. These "welcoming teams" were obviously formed hastily, some of them even had puzzled expressions on their faces, and some people could be seen coming in a hurry from a little further away. Apart from these people, there was no guard of honor at the scene, and there were no other colorful welcoming groups, even if the group formed in a hurry could not be seen, it was obvious that the Erim elves had abandoned this habit for a long time. The hatch of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace opened slowly under the watchful eyes of these elves. Hao Ren pushed Hilda ahead and let her get off the spaceship first.
Then he led the others to show up one by one.
There's no other noble reason, it's just that these bumpkins are a little nervous except Y'zaks...
As soon as Hilda appeared, the group of elves visibly became agitated, and then a tall blond young man who looked about the same age as Hilda stepped out from the front of the crowd. He seemed to want to give Hilda a hug, but he was hindered by this He hesitated for a moment with the calm demeanor that should be expected in such a situation, but Hilda took the initiative to give him a hug: "Wim, it's good to see you again."
"Mother, I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound." The young man embraced by Hilda was indeed the prince of the Erim elf, and also the only son of this young and outrageous queen, Wim.
Lily murmured next to Hao Ren: "These two really look like siblings."
At this time Hilda turned around and introduced a group of friends from another world to Wim: "They are the ones who helped me. These people are very powerful and come from an incredible organization. This is Hao Ren, it is..."
Hilda finished introducing them one by one, but because it took time to explain the concept of Space-Time Administration, she didn't go into details. Wim quickly walked up to Hao Ren, and bowed with the etiquette unique to Arim elves: "Thank you for helping my mother."
Hao Ren stretched out his hand to shake each other's hand: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk..."
Wim looked curiously at Hao Ren's extended hand, and it was exactly the same as his mother's behavior: he shook Hao Ren's wrist vigorously up and down.
A group of people walked along the wide walkway towards the exit of the landing platform. Wim and Hilda walked in front. The former was asking something: "Mother, you said that you are in another world these days?"
"Yes, another world—not the universe we currently know, but really another world."
"Could the space-time accelerator be successful? Or... more successful than expected?"
"No, it failed. My crossing into another world is just an accidental by-product. The probability is extremely low and there is no reproducibility. There is a problem with the design of the accelerator itself, and this project has to be stopped. Let's not talk about these things, the current situation How? What happened after that explosion? The Isle of Stars? The Isle of Rainbows?"
"Let's talk slowly on the road," Wim paused unnaturally, which implied a disturbing factor. At this moment, several round-looking oblate vehicles stopped at the exit, and he pulled himself His mother walked to one of them and pointed to the other one beside her, "Please guests take this float."
"No, the floating car has a lot of space. I hope to ride with them." Hilda nodded to Hao Ren. "There is no secret to hide from them. They don't care how big a secret an ordinary civilization has."
"Wait a minute," Hao Ren suddenly remembered something before he followed the others into the car, and then turned his head and pressed twice on the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, and heard two beeps from the spaceship, "OK gone."
Vivian looked at Hao Ren in the car with a strange expression: "You use a motorcycle anti-theft lock to lock the spaceship?"
Hao Ren had a bitter look on his face: "Raven 12345 gave it to you... If you don't need it, it won't work, or the spaceship door won't lock."
