There is a big house in front of me, a very big house. I don’t know if there is a lot of money on this unknown planet in the unknown universe, but judging from the style and distribution density of the surrounding buildings, the big house in front of me is The house is obviously a very unique place.
Surrounded by tall and clustered buildings, I also saw residential areas similar to dense communities when I came along the way, and the population of this city is not small at all. This street does not look like the location of the villa area, but at the end of the street... there is such a big three-story house that is out of place with the surroundings. Not only is the house very big, but it also has a large yard. fountain.
"Brother Monarch, I'm thinking of home." Alaya fluttered in mid-air, flickering her wings, because she didn't really need to rely on wings to fly, and now she floated completely with anti-gravity, "This house It looks a bit like the one at home!"
"Well," I agreed casually, and then carefully observed the big house in front of me again, "It's just a bit similar, but the difference is still very big. In other words, we may have thought too much."
Yes, the big house in front of us really reminds me and Alaya of our own home: it is also located in the inner part of the city where every inch of land is expensive, and it is also in a place where there should be no houses no matter how you look at it. The big warehouse-like house also has a courtyard, and a fountain is inexplicably built in the courtyard, and the house itself also looks simple and rough. Even though it occupies a large area, it still looks like an enlarged small bungalow. These characteristics It's rare elsewhere - normal people don't remodel their houses like this, after all, not everyone has a bunch of Imperial Engineers to help fix their houses.
But apart from the above-mentioned similarities, the big house in front of us has nothing in common with our home: whether it is the detailed shape of the house or the plants in the courtyard, whether it is the size of the fountain or the color of the roof, it is actually similar to our home. It's all different.
I can only say that the style is quite similar. I really didn't expect to meet locals with similar aesthetics to me in such an inexplicable world. If it wasn't for confirming that I didn't buy real estate in other places, I might have been really bluffed. If acquaintances saw it, they might really think it was a palace built by the Xiling royal family in a certain suburban universe—speaking of which, the palace built like this is probably unprecedented, right
There were a bunch of messy thoughts in my mind, I didn't stop, but went forward to find the doorbell: Anyway, there is nothing to do right now, so let's go out for a walk, it's better to meet such a "destined" place after all. Visit the owner of this place, just as I and Alaya also want to find someone to find out more about this place.
Don’t tell me, there is a button on the concrete doorpost next to the courtyard door, which is more complete than my own home: due to various reasons, the doorbell of my house has been abandoned for many years, and now the house has long since returned to the stage where visitors basically rely on yelling up.
After pressing the button, he could vaguely hear some movement in the big room. It seemed that he misunderstood the function of the button. At this time, Alaya flapped her wings and flew into the air. It seemed that this idiot wanted to jump over the wall (a common problem of flying species), and I quickly grabbed her feet and dragged the girl down. At the same time The door of the big house opened, and a woman in very ordinary clothes came out, with an apron around her waist: this is really earth-like.
"You are..." The young woman who looked like a housewife looked at the two people at the door of her house suspiciously, and then her eyes fell on Alaya, "Oh, Yu people? Do you want to buy a feather brush and care solution? , Hey, the brand in our house is big enough, there are always people coming to buy things these two days. Come in quickly, come in quickly, I am going to cook, you can tell my husband. "
This young housewife, who seemed to be in a hurry, didn't even give others a chance to speak. She just made up the matter on her own, and then turned sideways to let me and Alaya into the courtyard, which made me embarrassed: What am I doing? Didn't say anything, okay...
But it seems that the other party misunderstood me and Alaya as customers who came to buy things. So the owner of this big house is a businessman? The locals on this planet call the angels "the feather clan", and the young housewife in front of me mistakenly thought that we came here to buy the "feather brush" and "care solution" for the feather clan... This is a bit interesting, how can I I feel like I am in Shadow City...
The above two kinds of "daily chemical products" that sound so strange are really often used by the bird people at home.
However, this kind of misunderstanding doesn’t seem to be a bad thing, just as Alaya and I didn’t know how to get close to this family: after all, we came to bother us recklessly, and I regretted it a little after ringing the doorbell. As for buying things... It's not a big deal, some local currencies were indeed made on the road just now, and the information about these currencies was also collected by probes located in other areas.
We curiously followed the hostess here into this inexplicably familiar big house, and then found that the house was really different from home...! Well, what else to expect.
"You guys sit here first," the eager young housewife ushered our two "guests" into the living room, then quickly served drinks and small snacks that looked like shortbread, and then rushed to the kitchen The Lion Roaring on the second floor, "The ghost upstairs! Don't sleep! The feather clan customers are here to buy things, come down quickly to pick them up!"
The cold sweat on my head is brushing down layer by layer. When I open my eyes, I am in another world. When I close my eyes, I am my home. If Bingtis is lucky enough to marry in the future, maybe it will look like this. Don’t worry. Not to mention, the voice is definitely as loud.
While Alaya and I were curiously studying the strange snacks on the table and the local drinks with strange flavors and suspicious ingredients, there was a burst of noise from the second floor. Anyway, I can’t think of anyone who can wake up The sound effect was the same as that of an emergency evacuation, and then we saw a tall man with messy hair running down in a suit of house clothes. This must be the owner of the room. When he saw Alaya and me, he smiled and nodded, then ran to the corner next to the wall and dragged over a big cardboard box. The first thing I saw on the box was the image of an angel lying on the lawn basking in the sun. , there is a line of words written in twisted alien characters below, which should be something like an advertisement.
... Sure enough, like Shadow City, various daily necessities related to winged creatures have become a formal industry. Creatures such as angels are indeed rare in other places, but if they live together with ordinary races for a long time, it is actually the same thing, especially after the Xiling Angel resumes mass production, the "Sleep Feather Pillow" special product of Shadow City It’s almost sold to the macro world, who will be fooled by the angel’s special feather brush and care liquid, right? It was only the first time I saw wild angels in places other than Shadow City and God's Realm, and I felt a little novel.
"Come here, this is a new product recently released. The brush has a massage function and a magnetic therapy function. You can take a look at this." The man in front of him also regarded us as shopping, so he didn't wait for me Talking to Alaya, he began to sell products alone. He took out what looked like an oversized electric toothbrush from the box, and then took out a super oversized bottle of cosmetics, "This is a matching Nursing fluids are all of the same brand. Buy three bottles of nursing fluid and get a free feather brush. By the way, does this girl from the Yu tribe like to brush her hair by herself or let others help? Seeing that you two are so close, you should be a spiritual partner? Then you Definitely have to try this brush, it's so easy...”
Me: "..." I haven't said anything yet, how can both the host and the hostess be so imaginative
But it’s a good thing that the other party is so enthusiastic and good at brainstorming. Many topics can be developed naturally without the need for me and Alaya to think about it—in fact, I really don’t want Alaya, an idiot, to come up with ideas with me. She belongs to the kind of magical girl who can lead herself into a ditch when walking on flat ground. No matter who she is with, she can only come up with tricks to trick her teammates. Unless she is full of despair in this world, who would dare to do anything with her that requires brains? work.
Talking with the man in front of me who claims to be a "Yuan Nursing Expert" and "the most honest daily chemical product agent in the local area", I learned more about this peaceful planet like a paradise: this is the common life of two intelligent species. On the living planet, one side is a large number of human beings with outstanding talents, and the other side is a relatively small number and long-lived Yu family. The relationship between the two parties is harmonious and they have lived together for thousands of years. Artist, sociologist and goodwill ambassador. The two races seem to have never had any conflicts. Even in the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago, the two races supported each other and developed. Even today, they take this "species mixing" phenomenon for granted. .
The Yu clan will also intermarry with humans, but this cross-species love has a special name called "spiritual partner", because the life expectancy of the Yu clan and humans is very different, and the two need some special methods to intermarry and avoid the pain of widowhood. Through a certain "ceremony", the two parties in the marriage contract can equally distribute their respective life spans, so as to truly live together and die together. This seems a bit unfair to the feather race with a longer lifespan, and it seems to be a huge temptation for human beings, but no one has illegally performed the spiritual covenant ceremony since history—because it requires both parties to be fully voluntary, Moreover, neither party to the contract can conduct the ceremony out of selfishness.
The daily necessities agent in front of me obviously regarded Alaya and me as a young couple—maybe our words and deeds just fit some characteristics of the local "spiritual couple"? Anyway, I don't know how the other party made up their minds, but this misunderstanding is obviously embarrassing, although...Although Alaya seems to have no reaction at all, this girl is currently busy trying out the so-called automatic multi-functional feather brush with massage and physiotherapy What: Did she really think she came here for shopping
Or is it that Sister Angel doesn't deny the idea of "spiritual partner"? That's true, after all, the two of us have been together for five years, and we even have children... What a shameless life you say in the literal sense.
In any case, the two of us finally said goodbye and left. When we left, we brought a few brushes and a lotion that was enough to wash Ding Dong seven or eight times. Are you going shopping
Turning my head and looking at the big house that always makes people a little bit concerned, the bright smiles of the two local couples who specialize in "Yuzu daily necessities" once again emerged in my mind. Suspicious items purchased.
"Brother Monarch, can you use this to comb your feathers at night?" Alaya watched me put away my things (although she also put a set in her personal space), her wings flapped subconsciously, "I feel This lotion is better than the one I used before."
"That's Tuxin, how can it compare to the limited-edition cosmetics that Bingtis stole from her mother?" I pinched the angel sister's wings and replied casually, and at the same time started to get in touch with other probes.
After all, I and Alaya are now in the state of "wandering outside". Although there is nothing wrong for the time being, we should find out where we are as soon as possible when Sandora is asleep, and at least check the situation of this universe comprehensively , of course, if possible, it is best to determine the route from here back to the Empire area, and this series of things is obviously not something that can be done on a small planet. So while I was hanging out here with Alaya, I also released more deep space probes. These probes have now been sent to all parts of the universe, and the farthest ones have searched almost tens of billions of light years away.
I haven't checked the situation outside the world barrier for the time being. Ordinary probes have limited functions, and I can't find much information in the void. It's better to wait until I recover or Sandora wakes up before studying the matter of leaving this universe.
I found an unobtrusive place with Angel the Silly Cat, and after confirming that there were no idlers around, we opened the camouflage barrier, and then the two cats entered the temporary living cabin to study together the information sent from hundreds of deep space probes. A lot of information. Well, to be precise, I was studying information, and Alaya continued to study how to polish her feathers... This girl didn't hurt her head during the previous battle, and her low intelligence was damaged again, right? (Alaya also played in the previous battle.)
According to the pictures sent back by the probe, it can be determined that this universe is quite "prosperous".
The order of the world is stable, the distribution of matter belts meets the requirements for the birth of complex life, and star-making activities are frequent in space. Obviously, the entire universe is in a very young state. Within a radius of 10 billion light-years, tens of thousands of "hotspots" with life have been discovered, but among them, only a few dozen civilizations have developed to a higher level—that is, they can explore the universe. Although the proportion is not high, they are in This is already a fairly prosperous situation in most universes.
Of course, according to the habits of void creatures, it should be said that the universe has "a relatively large amount of information and is relatively active".
At present, the deep space probe has not found anything related to the empire or the Protoss, indicating that this world belongs to the undiscovered "white area", and no signs of abyss pollution have been found, indicating that this place is far away from the abyss area, and the most advanced in the universe Civilization is still in the stage of galaxy exploration. According to the judgment standard of the empire, this is the "prosperous but backward" border world... It seems that there is no need for extensive communication for the time being. If there is a civilization in the local area that has come into contact with the void level, or if you have a comprehensive understanding of the civilization of your own world, you can get in touch with it.
At this time, Alaya finally finished tossing her wings, and leaned on my shoulder to look at the holographic image in front of her. Of course, she was just joining in the fun: "Brother Monarch, is this world going to become the territory of an empire? When the time comes, pack it up and take it away." ?”
... It can be seen that Xiling's bloodlines are all the same in their bones. Those who stay like Alaya always maintain a heart to open up frontiers for the motherland. You know a cute girl who is so cute said this kind of thing How stressful can things be
However, according to the usual rules of the empire, it is indeed necessary to go through some "special procedures" to discover the new world. First, determine whether there is abyss pollution, then determine the stability of the universe structure, then determine the highest level of civilization, and finally pack it away. This kind of work Xiling The apostle has been working for countless years, I am a great Xiling moving company... Is this the first time I have completed the great cause of expanding land and sealing the border by myself since I became emperor
The number of deep space probes is limited, and it is impossible to track and observe every "information hotspot" where life exists, so my attention is mainly on those civilizations with space navigation capabilities. The nearest civilization here is located 22 light-years away, and that planet is not as stable and peaceful as the planet under my feet, it is in a state of war.
The probe captured a set of scenes of battles in space. A group of planetary troops using shuttle-shaped space battleships are attacking a giant space city in high orbit. The battlefield is extremely tragic. The two warring parties are obviously of the same race. This may be a civil war .
"The scale of the battle seems to be very large. Is it a serious conflict of extinction..." Alaya blinked his eyes, and his huge wings almost enveloped me. "It's only more than twenty light-years away from here. I found out that there is a livable planet here, and I need to predict whether they will become an offensive civilization. If they want to be included in the empire's territory, they must abide by the imperial code, after all, they are already in the category of civilization."
"Isn't it too early to say this now?" I pouted, and then ordered the probe to shift focus, ready to observe the surface of the planet, but just as the camera was about to turn to the ground, a dazzling blue-white light suddenly appears on the monitor screen.
I hurriedly turned the camera back, only to see that the planetary forces and the Battlestar Defense Force who were still fighting before had been wiped out, the vast space was full of wreckage, the lonely space city was floating in the distance, and many facilities on the surface had been burned by high temperature Meltdown: These warring armies were destroyed by something.
After searching for a while, the probe captured an image of the attacker: a nearly 100-kilometer-long silver-white starship was hovering on the edge of the battlefield. It was mighty and heavy, but its shape was somewhat weird. The coffin... an eternal-class imperial battleship? !
There is an imperial army in this universe? ! RS
