On the pier, the sea breeze is strong.
Franklin stepped forward and opened his arms. Zero smiled and gave him a firm hug. It's just that Franklin is tall, and he almost hugged Zero in his arms. The giant let go of him, stepped back and said: "Zero, my friend. Please believe me, how much I wish to accompany you on the unfinished journey, but I have my own responsibilities, and today I can only say goodbye to you here .”
Little did he know that Paul had allocated a large island near the Pearl Corridor to Franklin. There can be no jurisdiction of the city of Rome, allowing Franklin and his people to achieve self-government. Franklin has destroyed the gene pool of the Atlanteans, and they have no possibility of continuing to reproduce, and Paul is also happy to be generous. But still because of the relationship between the tribe, Franklin couldn't leave them and leave with Zero. For this, Zero can still understand.
"It's okay, you can live well here." Zero patted the giant's arm and smiled.
Franklin said solemnly: "Although I can't leave with you, if the final battle comes, I hope you don't forget me as a friend. At that time, my clansmen and I will stand side by side with you to face the world's worst battle." Deep darkness!"
"I will!" Rei nodded solemnly.
"Then I'll wait for you!" Franklin smiled and stepped back.
Paul came up, and without giving Zero a chance to object, he hugged him tightly and said, "My friend, I don't know what to say. In short, when you need my help, please speak up."
"Yes. Paul, before I need your help, let's develop mecha technology. I have a feeling that soon, there will be a big battle waiting for us. It's not about one city and one person losing, but this A battle for the survival of all life on this planet." Ling said in a deep voice.
Paul made an exaggerated expression and said, "Don't scare me, I don't want to be the shortest-lived prime minister in the history of Rome."
Zero laughed and punched him. Of course, he didn't use any strength, otherwise Paul, the new prime minister, would really die. Paul also laughed, and nodded after laughing a few times: "Don't worry, I'll let people speed up the development of mecha technology later, I hope I can contribute at the time you said."
"Then it's settled." Zero looked back at the Destiny, all the supplies had been moved, and he said softly: "Then, goodbye."
"Goodbye, everyone..."
He looked in a certain direction of Kanon Fortress, took a deep look, but said nothing.
In that direction, you can feel Cinderella's breath.
Then he turned around resolutely, walked towards the Destiny with zero strides, jumped to the porthole deck, waved to the people on the pier to see them off, and then walked into the cabin. When they came to the command bridge, Billy and other operators were ready, and everyone looked at the captain Zero.
Leah came to him and grabbed his hand tightly. Zero took a deep breath and said loudly, "Set sail!"
As a result, the steel wings of the Destiny lit up with blue flames one by one, and the ship turned a corner, facing the sea wind, breaking the waves, and gradually faded away in the eyes of everyone on the pier.
"Finally gone..." Paul said in a low voice, "It's true, I'm a little bit reluctant to leave this guy."
In Destiny, Zero naturally couldn't hear Paul's voice. Standing on the bridge, he looked at the people below who were busy adjusting various navigation parameters, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. More than half a year has passed since leaving the Central Continent. Now I can't wait to go back to the City of Dawn to see how the city that I have placed endless hope on is changing now.
More importantly, of course, is the current situation of Beyonce and others.
Before that, however, there was one more thing to do.
"Billy, go somewhere before you go back." Zero called down.
At noon a few days later, the Destiny came to the island where it met Belafal, the Lord of Beiyang. It was on this island that Bellafar put forward his own conditions to Zero, and because of this, Zero stayed on the Western Continent for more than half a year. Now I revisit the old place, and everything on the island remains the same. The Destiny is at sea, and Zero sits alone on the rubber Vadden Island.
He went straight to the side of the big lake behind the dense forest on the island. On the side of the big lake, a small but powerful figure fell into Zero's eyes. Belafal was fishing, but his pet, Green, was missing this time. Seemingly aware of Zero's arrival, Bellafar said without turning his head: "It's just in time, the fish have grown fat these days, let me buy you a few."
Zero shrugged and sat down next to him: "You should know that I'm not here to eat fish."
"Of course I know, don't young people nowadays have even a little patience?" Bellafar still held his trident in his hand. One end of the trident sank into the water, and a blue beam of light shot out from between the halberds. After a while, a big fish came up. How could he be fishing here? Bellafar didn't care. He picked it up with the tip of his halberd, put it in front of Ling and said, "Have some fish?"
"Thanks." Zero refused.
"What a serious guy, just like Hammermis." Belafal took the fish over honestly, chewed and ate the raw fish like this. While eating, he said: "You did a good job, boy. According to our previous promise, starting today, your will will spread across the entire ocean."
"Sounds great, but if you don't mind, how about giving me something practical?"
"What do you want?" Bellafar said, rolling his eyes.
Zero said: "I need some big guys that can be used for transportation. They should be able to tow a cargo ship. You know, there are no good things that can be transported by sea now."
Although the shipbuilding technology of the Western Continent is good, the two power systems using wind and manpower can allow their ships to sail on the sea. But that is only limited to the inner bay waters of the western continent, and it is impossible to sail in the outer seas.
Belafal threw away the half-eaten fish, wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "Follow me."
When the two came to the edge of the sand stream, Belafal whistled with his fingers in his mouth, and then found a rock and sat down with his legs crossed. After a while, Zero saw the waves rolling on the sea level, and then some huge monsters appeared on the sea level and swam towards the island quickly.
"This...they are horses?" Zero couldn't believe his eyes.
In his free field of vision, it was not difficult to see these ten-meter-long sea beasts. Their high heads were no different from horses on land. It's just that horses running on four legs on land are naturally not as big as their heads. What's more, behind the horse's head is a round, prismatic belly with round sides, and on both sides are fin-like organs that stretch out like flags.
Belafal said proudly: "This is the third generation of the breed that I have improved. I call them... seahorses!"
"Seahorses..." Ling was a bit dumbfounded, these sea beasts were called seahorses, but they were far from the seahorses he knew.
There were about twenty sea beasts, and they stopped when they came near the island, swimming in the nearby bay. They looked very docile, just floating quietly on the surface of the sea, waiting for Belafal's order.
"Don't look at their small size, but they have great strength and can drag hundreds of tons of things." Belafal said.
"Okay, so how do I command them?"
Belafal rolled his strange eyes and said, "Open your mouth."
"Why… "
As soon as Ling asked, Belafal flicked two fingers, and a drop of blue blood popped out and fell into Zero's mouth. Ling's mouth immediately smelled of fish, but Belafal's blood melted quickly, and at the same time, Zero felt that he had a little more of Belafal's genes.
"Now you have a bit of my breath, try to communicate with them with your will." Belafal said lazily.
Zero tried it, and sure enough, he issued an order to these sea beasts in his will, and they all looked up at Zero. Then nodded, as if they understood something, and then swam to the side of the Destiny one by one.
"What did you make them do?"
"I told them to go back with my boat."
"So this is leaving?"
"That's right, what should I do if I need to contact you?" Zero asked again.
Belafal tapped the sea water under his feet with the trident and said, "As long as the ocean is beyond the reach, I can hear your voice."
"Very good." Zero looked at the dwarf-like master of Beiyang and said, "Then, let's stay here temporarily."
Bellafar jumped up and snorted. He pointed his head with his finger and said: "Don't say I didn't warn you, kid. Mother's voice has become louder and louder, do you know what it means?"
"It's coming out soon?" Zero frowned.
"It should be." Belafal looked at the endless sea and sighed: "I have a hunch that the time for all life on this planet to fight to the death is approaching. I hope you will be fully prepared before then."
After speaking, Belafal walked towards the sea surface, and disappeared on the sea level after a while.
At this moment, Zero felt extremely heavy.
