After wandering aimlessly in the shadow city that turned Jiping into a bazaar for nearly an hour, I bought a lot of messy gadgets from those strange alien merchants from who knows what dimension , Bubble, who had been working hard all day, finally yawned.
"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest and see you"
I took from Bubble the Magic Crystal Flying Sword Spell Card Pyroxene hand-made Spirit Core Master Ball that she bought for everyone at her pleasure. I was already yawning but I still stubbornly grabbed the corner of my clothes and refused to go home. The Zhai Luoli pressed lightly on the head, "I will hold these treasures for you, and I will distribute them to other people when I go back."
"I'm not sleepy... I'm not sleepy", Bubble opened his mouth and yawned again, and then muttered to no one to lie, "It's hard to finish the work, if you don't even have time to play for a while and you have to go to bed ,what a shame."
It's really the same logic as a child's. If people who don't know the inside story hear the little girl say that, they will feel deep pity, right? Just like the first time I saw this girl with her eyes closed and "sealed" in a crystal prism, she was deceived." But now, after knowing this guy's true nature, I can only show her a helpless wry smile: "If you don't When working, you have to open 10 to 20 million trumpets all over the world to play games, watch anime, download movies, and read novels. If Tu Baidu would not be so tired. "
"Hmph! That only accounts for a few percent of the mainframe's functions!" Pao Pao grinned at me and waved her small arms. The appearance of the violent mainframe was obvious, but soon, she lost her energy. I protested from above, and after my little head rubbed comfortably under the touch of my big hand twice, this dead house who didn't play enough came over and hugged my leg (... tragic height), "Well, I'm going back to my mother Go to bed early when you are resting in the nest, don't attack people at night."
What kind of [speech] full of sense of sight is this? Bubble, do you dare to let others see what you are doing with those several terabytes of bandwidth every day? No wonder you always thought that Gilgamesh's English name was Gaegameo!
After holding back the complaints in my heart and sending away my sleepy child's mother, I felt relieved for a long time. gas.
Now, there is really no one around.
How long has it been since there was such a quiet situation
Looking at the crowd of people around me, but not the usual group of noisy girls bouncing around, I suddenly felt a little emotional.
I am usually surrounded by a group of beauties who are constantly in trouble, or a group of unscrupulous imperial officers. I am almost used to the lively atmosphere that is completely incompatible with my personality of eating and dying. Now, suddenly Entering the state of wandering alone again, I feel unexpectedly quiet.
…and kinda boring.
I have to admit, it's a lot more fun hanging out with the jovial guys than a guy like that wandering the streets.
However, after making a brief spiritual connection and learning that Qianqian was trying to carry an "oninireSrnarao" (OS) home, I resolutely gave up the idea of finding those girls who were too happy now.
Compared to the boredom of shopping alone, I still feel that going to Qianqian's side and destroying my worldview is a little more terrifying.
Just wander around aimlessly like this for a while, look at this city that has been built and prospered without knowing it, look at this place that I have been guarding all the time, look at the places around me that are for various reasons And Wanmin who gathered around him without knowing when, seems to be quite good.
I feel that I must have been a poet in my previous life, always falling into an inexplicable literati state under unimaginable circumstances.
Maybe it's because I don't like places that are too noisy. When there is no group of happy people around me, I walked to a secluded place without knowing it. When I looked up, I realized that I had come to the edge of the meeting place. out of place.
The lively meeting place during the day is now completely silent. Only a few craftsmen are preparing the layout for tomorrow's event in their respective venues. Along the way, people who recognize themselves occasionally stop their work and bow to me or come from a certain place. In a dark corner, I suddenly howled: "Long live the emperor!", I was taken aback by the journey.
I said, although I know that the undead have extremely low requirements for light, but considering that there are so many races around who rely on eyes to see things, can't your dark city contractors light a lamp when they work at night
Because of the large number of low-level workers who work tirelessly and have no interest in the ongoing night market in the city, more than half of the artisans used by the Azeroth delegation are workers from the Forsaken. This is also the world of Azeroth after world peace is achieved. A new racial pattern gradually formed: humans, representing the most creative pioneer elves, served as the world's best artists and magic scholars, and dwarves, the indispensable blacksmiths in the Azeroth family, were forgotten The latter means the most efficient and best-used large labor force. These roles together form the current Salvation Army of Azeroth: a fraternal united army.
Of course, the above paragraph is only used to explain why I have to be continuously startled by sixteen undead artisans working in the dark within a distance of less than 300 meters.
Passing through this assembly area, I went around to the Totem Area.
During the day, the number of tourists gathered here far exceeded my expectations. The number of macroworld travelers who were interested in the heroic deeds of the empire's vassal civilization obviously exceeded everyone's imagination. Countless people came to this monument. Looking up at the history of those heroic races fighting against fate, until now.” When the activities of the assembly hall were completely stopped, there were still travelers in twos and threes standing under the huge holographic projections, looking up at the sections that had been solidified into history. screen.
Stopping, I looked up at the nearest holographic projection, and the picture it was replaying over and over again reminded me of many things. This is one of the monuments of the Koprulu sector. Now, it is showing the hot start Before the arrival, the entire Koprulu intelligent race began to exile collectively. In the projection, the huge exile fleet that obscured the brilliance of the stars passed over their home planet in the tragic afterglow of the doomsday, like a flock of birds startled by gunshots Generally helpless, the images of Raynor and Zeratul appear alternately in the background of this dim starry sky, [truly] reproducing the resolute expressions of the two leaders who participated in the creation of history at that moment, and the people around the monument In the solidified sound field, the announcements that the end of the world is coming were played by me and Sandora in a loop.
Immediately after the screen switch, the exiled fleet landed in the desolate new homeland and began to build their second homeland. The white flood wave generated by the hot start flashed across the projection, representing the extinction of the old homeland in an instant, and the surrounding echoed The famous speech that James Raynor gave on the desolate Gobi Desert in the capital of the New Eden Federation at that time: "We are still alive".
Just like the pictures recorded by every monument, these things have not undergone any form of post-processing. They are completely historical facts recorded by the Xiling apostles or detectives who were present at the time with their own recording equipment, but they themselves have surpassed any The "documentary" processed in the later stage is even more touching. From the corner of my eye, I saw a few girls covering their faces in front of a monument and weeping: they saw the last thirty-seven knights stationed in the Holy Light's Hope Chapel rushing towards the tide The tragic scene of the general demon army.
"I feel... I don't have the right to be recorded in these monuments with them at all."
Suddenly, a gentle young woman Huan came to her ears, with a little emotion and admiration.
I shook my head lightly: "Lola, you should speak Chinese—it's okay to speak English if you can't."
A girl bishop who is always seventeen years old: "...", "Don't you think bullying girls is boring?"
I thought about it, and said the truth: "Actually, I have excluded you from the category of girls."
"... Well, it seems that I am really not suitable for acting like the people around you." Laura spread her hands, sighed resignedly, and then looked up at the monument in the Koprulu sector, "This is still me It is the first time to face the history of these heroes, which is completely different from the boring texts I saw in your archives. Although I have participated in some things, compared with these people who really created the trajectory of the world, I always feel that I am really not enough. ", "Why do you suddenly think of it and belittle yourself? "I looked curiously at the immortal bishop next to me who was wearing a pink dress and whose long hair almost fell to the ground. I felt that Laura's behavior today was weird, "And it seems that you don't have the habit of wandering out at night, do you? ", "It's just that after praying, I still feel uneasy and want to come here to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet you. "Lola has a mask-like smile on her face" But I know that her expression is just a habit, and there is no malice.
"Be honest and remember to add your name and address when you pray, because God is a fool."
The expression on Laura's face finally changed, and now she looks depressed: "This is really bad. I love you like a master, but you dismiss it.
"God knows what your [true] thoughts are, but it seems that you are a little confused now," I smiled understandingly at the blond "girl" in front of me, "I once thought that you wanted to find the self-salvation of human beings from the apostles of Xiling Guidance, or wanting to find someone strong and fair enough to pin my long-term pursuit of an absolute existence, I understood it that way at first, but now you seem to be troubled by something. "
Although it has been known for a long time that information projection will have a huge impact on "plot" and "setting", it is still relatively rare for an individual like Lola to deviate so much from the original. I can't see through this woman who seems to have a stubborn purpose. Compared with Gilgamesh, who is also very different from the "original book", Laura is really a headache.
That Little Bubble's exclusive nanny whose intelligence is below the average line can be seen through at a glance.
Laura looked at me quietly, with a flat expression on her face that made it hard to see her emotions: "You are right, I am just looking for an [answer] answer. Maybe it is the reason why you feel ridiculous, I I hope to find the future of mankind. The powerful race of Xiling Apostles, which can be called a god, is desirable. What is reflected in your people may be the only way that mankind can find if they want to move forward. At least it is the only way out that has been determined to be feasible. Maybe you have already thought of this: not only me, but every leader of the vassal world gathered around the empire has this idea. Arriving at the existence of truth to find the way forward of our own civilization, especially for a world like ours that can only be counted as weak."
I was silent for two seconds" with a tangled face: "I really didn't expect this. "
Laura: "...can't you pretend that you have already thought of it?"
"Okay, back to the topic just now, why did you suddenly sigh?"
"I just feel that what I have done in my life is different from them..." Luo La said, pointing to the heroes and leaders of other worlds on the monument. Also when their own world is facing destruction, each of them is fighting vigorously, even in the face of death, they will not shrink back, even if they retreat in the end, at least they have fought, and they have fought against fate with you. Thinking about it now, when the end of the world comes, we are still busy with racial infighting. Because of differences in ideas, such a small world is cut into fragments by various forces, and when meteorites fall from the sky, "we also They will only run away in all directions, completely waiting for the savior to save them. Such a race is really regrettable... "
"Crack!", a hand knife, accurately hit the head of the chief bishop who was in an inexplicably depressed state. Then I was in a daze with the other party for a while.
Damn, I'm used to it.
Suddenly realizing that the bishop’s aunt was fundamentally different from the girls under my command, I hurriedly jumped back half a meter before seriously criticizing my nose: “The situation is different. At that time, you should fight against it!”, "So those are just personal emotions." Laura rubbed her head, "I wouldn't be disappointed with my race because of a little bit of unsatisfactory performance, but I just thought that in all the vassal worlds, what I represent actually It’s the weakest force, compared to other worlds, it’s like a child, so it’s just a little depressing.”
This is not to mention compared with interstellar civilizations like the New Eden Federation and the Civilization Community, it is compared with the magic civilization in the world of Azeroth that can already use arcane arts to explore other planets. The forbidden world represented by Lola now The magic power is also a bit weak.
This discovery that suddenly came to my mind made me think... It seems that the current vassal forces of the empire are still a bit unsatisfactory, but come... how to make up for this shortcoming
Activities like the Carnival may play a role in allowing the worlds to communicate with each other, exchange their advanced power theories, and perhaps improve the strength of some weak civilizations, but this should not be enough.
Seeing the pensive expression on my face, Laura showed a faint smile as if I had achieved some purpose, "Then, I won't disturb your thinking."
"En," I nodded, and stopped her before she turned to leave, "Laura, if you have something to say in the future, you, the old habit of always fighting with others, restrain yourself a little bit in front of me. "
"I'm... very sorry...", after Laura left" I began to think about the current empire's vassal world, such as how to improve their strength without interfering with their normal development. That fox girl may indeed be here by accident. I met, but what she said must have some purpose, such as gaining some benefits for her own world.
This is not surprising. There are more and more worlds attached to the empire, and countless races are participating in the battle against various world threats as servants of the empire. In the process, they have also received tangible benefits. The benefit is that it comes from the support of a civilization that has reached the apex. For the intelligent civilization whose first goal is development and progress, this kind of guidance that can save them from detours of hundreds or thousands of years is an unimaginable benefit, but the empire After all, there is more than one vassal world, so "who can get more attention is a question."
Powerful races that are good at fighting will naturally take great achievements on the battlefield as their greatest capital, but a relatively backward and weak world must find another way. Laura's remarks today obviously want to remind me of one thing Things: Don't neglect those weak "children".
It may be determined by the location. Sandora and I have never paid attention to this point, but Laura has realized that if the power of the forbidden world he represents continues like this, sooner or later, they will be in this area. Disappointed on the stage of the worlds built by the empire: Compared with the magic civilization with a history of hundreds of thousands of years or the interstellar civilization that has long colonized the universe, a civilization that has not even left the earth and survived for thousands of years is really Not enough stamina.
I don't know how long it took, but a burst of footsteps suddenly interrupted my thinking.
Noticing that the footsteps were coming towards me, I looked up suspiciously, only to see a silver-haired girl looking at me with a smile.
"Sylvia?"
I greeted the other party a little unexpectedly, "Why are you still hanging out at this time?"
In my impression, Sylvia was a good baby who closed the shop on time at ten o'clock and went to sleep. Could it be that the girl got lost again
"I'm just curious, such an event has never been held in the empire in my memory, I didn't expect it to be quite interesting.
The silver-haired girl in front of me looked into my eyes and said with a quiet smile.
