I never thought about this at all. Originally we were just going down here to collect some information. Of course, I thought it was too simple at first. Maybe it’s a bit fanciful to go down with a USB flash drive and complete the task in five minutes, but no matter the situation,
No matter how it develops, I have never thought about sleeping in the center of the earth for a few nights, but this mysterious patriarch has already made an invitation, and for us, if we want to check it visually without using violent means,
I'm afraid it really won't be a matter of time to find out the truth.
"We won't stay long, but thank you in advance for the hospitality."
Just when I was thinking about how to evade and go to other places in the oasis to check out the situation, my sister suddenly spoke. From this tone, it seemed as if she really planned to stay for a few days.
Facing my confused look, my sister just blinked, signaling that she had other ideas.
"Are you going back to the Flame Sky?" The patriarch glanced at his sister and asked calmly.
"Where are we from?" My sister answered vaguely.
"I understand, people from the oasis will not go to Lieyantian, but that is your home after all. How do you plan to go back? I didn't see your big ship. It is said that people from Lieyantian need big ships to come to the oasis.
OK, otherwise you will be stranded on the ground."
Before the patriarch could finish speaking, Lilina's voice came from the spiritual connection: "She's lying! Her speaking speed is wrong!"
I didn't see the other party's intention to lie at all. The friendly old elf lady spoke calmly and looked as usual. But Lilina insisted that the other party was not telling the truth. I can only believe that at least this black lolita is much more reliable than outsiders.
Lilina paused for a few seconds before explaining: "She said that the people of Lieyantian would be stranded in the oasis without a big ship. There were traces of lying when she said this. On the one hand, it was judged that the reason was that her speaking speed was wrong. On the other hand,
It is the gift of this Pope: Even if it is a mass projection, she is still thinking. As long as she is thinking, it can be classified as a pan-soul, and it is all under the control of this Pope."
In other words, in fact, this patriarch knows that we will not be stranded on the Oasis planet because we have no transportation. So what is the meaning of her words? As soon as I raised this question, my sister came over and said: "She may be in the Oasis."
Guessing our identity, and there is a vague answer, and the way we come to and leave the oasis may be related to this identity. She wants to know what we used to get down from the mantle."
Can I tell this old lady that we actually have a seven-hand BYD with dozens of exhaust pipes that can jump through space and cruise at super-light speeds?
The people on Oasis are very cautious, sometimes a little neurotic, but sometimes a little too naive and gullible. That night, a group of us were welcomed into the village, and there was also a separate mushroom tree house to live in.
, it is said that this is specially used to entertain guests. On the Oasis Planet, every tree elf settlement will have a house specially used to entertain guests. This is because tree elves like to wander in the forest, and all tree elves
Growing from the ancestral vines. This allowed them to be intimate and happy to entertain guests, and gradually formed a custom of leaving enough room for guests everywhere.
Soon, night fell, and it seemed that the luminous clouds in the upper atmosphere ended the chemical reaction under the regulation of a certain system. The entire Oasis star experienced the same night. This small inner earth world has no dividing line between day and night and no eastern and western hemispheres.
Such concepts, we gathered in the mushroom tree house where these hospitable tree elves prepared to entertain guests, still discussing the society of these strange projections and their secrets. Earlier, my sister pushed away the fruit prepared by the other party.
Platters and other sweet-smelling dinners (unfortunately, all fruits). The reason is that people from the Flame Sky are not used to the food of the Oasis planet. We brought our own food, and those fruit plates are still on the table.
.Qianqian is studying them - and Dingdang.
Her Majesty the Little Goddess seems to be quite interested in these inedible things. The lifelike texture and aroma of the latter have completely captured the little thing who has always been weak in intelligence. Ding Dong jumped around a pile of strange-shaped fruits, like an enemy waiting for an attack.
The little beast would occasionally yell with a sharp and thin voice and then pounce on it - there was only one result. The mass projection could not bear this contradiction in an instant, and turned into a light point in the air, and Dingdang was puzzled by this.
untie.
The little one was mumbling like a frustrated kitten after its prey flew away. After several attempts, she finally lay on my shoulder and stopped moving. She was pretending to be dead.
Tavel and her research team are still stuck at the gravitational equilibrium point. They have completed a comprehensive examination of the inner mantle and found something very interesting: the remains of some ancient equipment.
Those huge composite material skeletons are deeply embedded in the semi-molten mantle, and the complex grooves indicate that they were once used to install some kind of huge machinery. These skeletons may have been used by the inhabitants of Green Star when they transformed the earth's core.
If these devices are not important enough, then something else is even more exciting: the reconnaissance probe has discovered many dark pyramid structures in the shallow layers of the Earth's mantle. These structures are the mass projection generators we have been looking for for a long time.
If the answer cannot be found from the "aboriginals" of Oasis, then our only clue is to disassemble these mass projection generators. Although forcibly cracking the projection devices may cause some harm to the organisms behind them, this is a way after all.
.
"Huh? What are you doing outside?"
Qianqian was not interested in our serious discussion. She had been lying in front of the window looking at the night scene outside, and then she suddenly screamed.
The night in this projection world is not pure darkness. Although the tree elves do not seem to have that advanced electric lighting or other artificial lighting technology, and there are not many lights in the small village, those huge mushroom umbrella handles can still shine under the night.
Emitting a faint white light, the effect is the same as that of a street lamp. In such not very bright light, I saw many tree elves gathered in the open space in the center of the village - quite a few. They should have occupied this area of only a dozen households.
half of the population of the small village.
The elves were all dressed up, as if they were about to go on a long journey. They stood silently in the open space. The scene was quiet and strange. No one was motionless. After observing for a while, I also discovered one thing: all the tree elves
The expressions on his face were dull.
There was no leader or even an expression on the face of any of the elves. Under our puzzled gaze, they suddenly disappeared into the air one by one! In just ten seconds, the square was empty.
.Half of the villagers in the small village just disappeared out of thin air.
Before we could go out to see the situation, another puzzling scene happened. Where the villagers disappeared just now, many stray light spots suddenly appeared in the open space. These light spots flew and combined,
After a while, they all condensed into human shapes and turned into another group of strange tree elves, wearing the same clothes as the villagers who disappeared just now. I counted them secretly and found that they even had the same number of people as the ones who disappeared just now. The new villagers appeared.
First, they looked around blankly, and then the expressions on their faces gradually became vivid, and then they smiled one after another: the smile flashed away, and then they returned to expressionless, and then walked to the nearby tree houses in a familiar way.
It was as if it was their own home - but it was definitely not their house! It belonged to the villagers who just disappeared!
The vision only lasted a few minutes in total. Half of the tree elves in the village disappeared and were replaced by another group of strangers. After the silence returned to the outside, they lightly touched my arm: "Arjun
, it’s like a horror movie.”
"The original person has been replaced," Sandora returned to the table. "It seems that this projection world has other ways of operating that we don't know about. Let's rest first and see what happens tomorrow."
We slept really well this night, although the situation was a bit weird. And we are still deep in the earth, but the heartlessness of the first family will be effective in any situation. Wait for me to weave soft things from plant fibers.
When I woke up in the hammock, it was already dark outside (a day in the oasis seems to be about an hour shorter than on earth, which I noticed by looking at my watch). Dingdang crawled over at some point. He was lying on his face, sleeping.
It was dark and dark. Fortunately, I didn’t cough at night...
The village is already lively, and the tree elves are preparing for the day. Men and women bring tools for harvesting wild fruits and plan to go to the top of a nearby bush that has just matured to collect food for the village in the next few days. This is from their
From the information I heard during the conversation, everything was as usual. Every elf had a smile on his face as a matter of course, and didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his life at all.
But the person standing in front of them was clearly a stranger: the tree elf who came in didn't even have a disguise!
We seemed to be walking in a strange and bizarre illusion - well, this was indeed an illusion, but I never thought it would be so bizarre. After wandering around the village for a long time, I finally found someone I knew. It was someone I knew before.
I was deeply impressed by the tree elf girl, Green Calyx. She was helping her village elder father collect some dried grass blades. The fibers left after these grass blades are completely dried are the most commonly used building materials by the tree elves. Look.
When the guests arrived, Lu E immediately straightened up and greeted them happily.
"Hello everyone, are you used to sleeping last night? It must be much colder in the oasis than in the blazing days," the tree elf girl said cheerfully, wiping her sweat with the back of her hand, "It's been a busy day starting today, collecting food and
Prepare the straw rope for next year."
"Oh," I looked around, "it seems like there are a lot of unfamiliar faces."
Faced with my intentional or unintentional reminder, Lu'e was completely unaware. She just glanced at the women and children who were busy in the open space, and then said with a smile: "No, probably because many people didn't come out yesterday. You haven't seen them before."
, we all got to know each other very quickly, there are not many people in the village, and everyone is quite kind."
She had no idea that half of the people around her had been replaced!
"Go find the patriarch." Lin Xue suddenly whispered, took my arm and walked out of the village. Everyone didn't know what happened, so they had to follow in a hurry.
The small wooden house of the patriarch is still standing quietly outside the village wall. Just now, I was really worried that this small house would disappear like the villagers, or be replaced by something else. Fortunately, everything here is as usual.
Including the kind old tree elf lady inside. The other party let us into the house with a happy face: "Guests from afar, did you have a good rest yesterday?"
Lin Xue stared into the other person's eyes closely, as if trying to dig out some secret. A look of surprise appeared on the old lady's face: "What's wrong? Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"
"You should be able to guess where we come from," Lin Xue said suddenly, "I just remembered one thing. In your legend, it was the ancestors who created this oasis planet and placed it here. Then the ancestors
You have integrated yourself into the oasis, and each patriarch is an ancestor who wakes up periodically. In other words, you are the only so-called 'ancestor' who is awake in this world. You have experienced the establishment of the oasis planet -
—You should know what the so-called Blazing Sky means."
The old lady's expression did not change. She just waited for a few seconds before answering: "So what?"
"So you know that the raging sky is actually the mantle of the earth that has not completely cooled down. There are no living things living in the blazing sky. Behind it is a dark rock layer thousands of kilometers thick. There are only huge energy furnaces and control systems in the rock layer. Of course, there are
There is projection equipment." Lin Xue leaned on the chair and spoke in a calm tone, "Yesterday we saw something very concerning: half of the residents in the village were replaced. You know what I mean,
Can you explain what is going on? Where have those villagers gone? Or more simply, what is going on with everyone in this world, and why...are they brainwashed?!"
The patriarch's expression has not changed from beginning to end. At this time, he just sighed: "Actually, I just need some time to confirm your identity, because we carry the most important mission, and Oasis has experienced several police calls before.
, all the navigators are very nervous... We don't quite know what to do when this responsibility is placed on ourselves. We have just learned to operate these systems..."
Lin Xue showed a victorious smile and winked at me: "I have long felt that she knows a lot of secrets."
"We are from beyond the surface." I felt that there was nothing to hide. After a day and a night, the patriarch must have been able to confirm our identity. Or at least confirm that we are not hostile. "This planet is the old empire."
It is a product of the times. It has nether energy equipment and signs of empire transformation. In addition, we have discovered hundreds of millions of dormant cabins in the earth's mantle. If you have experienced the era of earth center transformation, you must understand what I am talking about.
What."
The patriarch took a deep breath: "That's true, I know it, but what does the old empire mean?"
"The Xiling Empire, the one before," Qian Qian said bluntly, "it's four years in the new empire calendar. The old empire has been disintegrated."
The patriarch seemed to have been hit by an iron hammer. He was stunned for a moment. It took a long time before he exclaimed: "Disintegrate... disintegrate? The empire? How is it possible! Then who will we hand over the inheritance to?"
"Leave it to us," Sandora said without any doubt, "This planet hides the secrets before the disintegration of the old empire, and I am the only emperor known to have survived after the disintegration of the old empire. My partner is the ruler of the new empire.
Or, I think that’s enough. Oh, it looks like you’re confused, don’t worry, we’ll have time for you to straighten everything out, it’s a long story…”
The disaster at the end of the old empire, the dormant period, tens of thousands of years, the establishment of the new empire, and the current status of a small part of the empire. All these things add up to a very huge story - Ding Dong, please write at least four of them.
There are more than a million words. It took Shandora and her sister more than an hour to explain these things clearly. They spoke very slowly and only picked up the straightforward parts, because we discovered one thing: Although the patriarch in front of us
She has experienced the old empire era, and is also very familiar with the Xi Ling Empire, but she is very different from the normal imperial family members. She seems confused, like a... novice, I can only say that, knowing Xi Ling Empire
Spirit Empire, but knew nothing about the details of the empire. When Sandora mentioned the former Tiandi and the emperors, the other party interrupted several times to ask for details. This is really a puzzling phenomenon. Could it be that the old
At the end of the empire, did those strict generals even care about the review of family members? At least they should do a good job in popularizing science.
"This is truly an unimaginable disaster, completely unimaginable," the patriarch said without speaking for more than a minute after listening to this long story. It took a long time before he sighed. Lin Xue and Lilina both stared at each other's eyes.
Are you still worried that the other party is lying? "When we took over the mission, the empire was so powerful. Although we only saw a little bit, we thought it was incredibly powerful. But such a powerful empire disappeared, and the abyss... we also
After encountering the abyss, it was the empire that rescued the tree elves. Then a general ordered our entire clan to assist the emperor in fighting. The tree elves repaid the favor and we took over the mission, but the first task they gave us was
But it preserves something.”
Shandora suddenly showed a clear look: "In other words, you have not been in contact with the empire for a long time?"
"By your standards, it should be quite short-lived," the patriarch frowned. "We had just escaped from the abyss disaster and had not completed the reconstruction of society when we received the order. At that time, everything was in chaos and the universe was in a mess. General
Telling us that the end of the world is coming, the tree elves left their own world. This planet was rebuilt during the Abyss War. The technology we have is not advanced enough. It was the Emperor who helped us build this fortress and then taught us how to navigate.
How should the operators operate the system, and then they left in a hurry. We were told that this was a quite long mission, and it might not even end in one day, but the tree elves didn't care much about this. We were used to journeys and loneliness, but now
It seems...this journey is indeed a bit too long."
