The dark passage in the metal box seems to be connected to the endless void. The other end is deep and dark, empty and silent.
The congressman who opened the metal square box hesitated for a while. He raised his head and looked left and right, and found that the others were looking at him with a look that said, "You will be responsible for what you open."
The congressman sighed helplessly, and then tentatively shouted to the other side of the dimensional passage.
"Um...Mr. Xue...are you there?"
...
There was still silence at the other end of the passage, and no response came from it.
The congressman waited for a while, and then, at the urging of several colleagues around him, he reluctantly raised his voice and shouted into the passage.
"Mr. Xue... If you are here, please respond. We have something very important that we need your help with!"
After he shouted these words, a response finally came from the other end of the passage, but this voice was obviously not Xue Hua's.
"The Lord is doing a very important thing, and everything else must wait until this important thing is over before talking about it."
This response was sharp and cold, with a strange hissing sound in it. Among Xue Hua's monster-like servants, there was only one who could use human language and make this sound.
This creature is called by Xue Hua: Mother of Insects!
Receiving a response from an insect mother obviously made the members of the Demon Fortress Council feel reassured. Although they could not directly contact Xue Hua himself through this strange device, as long as they could contact the insect mother, they could make it
Convey their request to Xue Hua.
After all, with Xue Hua leaving the Sanctuary World, the size of the Zerg nests in the entire world has also become much smaller.
Now the only places in the Sanctuary world where there are clearly still insect swarms are the depths of the barrier mountains (the Mysterious Dune Laboratory is a confidential area not open to the public) and those in the extraterritorial (space) area who help transport development troops
Behemoths heading to the second world.
But those giant beasts seem to have never been here since two years ago. It is said that they are going to carry out an important order.
The insect nests deep in the barrier mountains are so hidden that even Kasha, who is very familiar with Xue Hua, has a hard time finding them.
Therefore, the Demon Fortress Council actually completely lost the means to actively contact Xue Hua two years ago. Therefore, even if Tyrell personally went down to the world some time ago to hope that they could help ask for help from Xue Hua, they actually had no way to contact him.
he.
Now, the device left behind by Tarasha has actually contacted the insect swarm under Xue Hua's command, which makes all the councilors of the Demon Fortress feel like they have found a source of support again...
Therefore, after receiving the reply from the Insect Mother, the Speaker immediately motioned to the congressman to continue talking to the Insect Mother and try his best to keep the insect swarm in contact with them.
After receiving the order from the Speaker of the Parliament, the member was stunned for a moment, and then he organized his speech for a long time before he could say a coherent sentence.
"Ah, hello, dear Madam...Insect Mother? Well, I would like to ask, what kind of important event is your master doing, and how long will it take?"
"Since it is an important event, it must be very confidential. Outsiders don't need to know. As for how long it will take... I can't give you a definite answer. I can only say that it should be over soon."
The insect mother blocked the congressman's questions directly with two merciless words, but at the end of her words, she still revealed a little bit of news to them.
"I see... Then this... um, Ms. 'Insect Mother', can you help convey our message to your master, um... just say... just say...
..”
The congressman was at a loss for words and didn't know in what name he should ask Xue Hua for help.
After all, Xue Hua didn't owe them any favors, but they, more or less, owed Xue Hua a lot of favors over the years.
Just when he was feeling a little anxious because he didn't know how to continue speaking, a girl with a delicate face and a bookish air standing on the other side of the metal cube suddenly took over the conversation.
"Please tell that 'master' and ask him if he still remembers the little girl he saved in King's Harbor.
If he still remembers, please let him respond. If he doesn’t remember...then forget it~"
The girl herself didn't even realize that there was a hint of resentment in her words, as if she was complaining about some random guy who saved her but then let her go.
"..."
The insect mother at the other end of the passage was obviously stunned for a moment. Although it did not understand human emotions, its "survival instinct" subconscious told it that it would be better to bring the female human's words to the master intact...
..
"I understand, I will bring your words to you."
After the insect mother said these words, the dimensional channel of the metal box returned to calm.
The girl reached out to close the lid of the box, and picked up the metal box from the table with a "hey" sound, preparing to take it back to the secret room for storage. However, as soon as she raised her head from packing, she saw that all the council members in the hall were stunned.
He stared at her as if she were a prehistoric beast that had just traveled from ancient times...
The little girl tilted her head in confusion, looked around in a strange and confused way, and then seemed to suddenly realize something, her face suddenly turned blood red...
"I...I'll put this up first..."
She picked up the metal box and ran away. Along the way, she wanted to open the metal box again and bury her head in the interdimensional communication channel inside.
When the girl staggered out of the hall in panic, there was a "boom" in the whole hall.
"Is she also that person..."
"That's not right. I heard that that person is not very good at this, isn't he?"
"Yes, yes, when he returned triumphantly from the second world, how many famous families in our demon fortress wanted to put their daughters on other people's beds. As a result, they didn't even come to the banquet, and just
It’s time to return to the first world!”
"I heard that the two ladies of that man have been following him since the beginning of Rogge's camp. When the man left, he even took the two ladies with him!"
"And according to what Kane said before, when she met Miss Aman in King's Port, Miss Aman was just in her early teens. If it were so early... that would be too... cough cough cough...
....”
"Hey! That's hard to say. Maybe that one is just good at this..."
"You want to die! How dare you arrange that! Shut your mouth!"
"Ahem... I made a slip of the tongue. I made a slip of the tongue. Don't take it seriously. Just think that I farted just now..."
"I think you all should stop making blind guesses. That young hero is one of the most beloved in the world, both in terms of ability and courage. What girl wouldn't like and admire such a being?
What's more, according to Mr. Kane, that person saved Miss Aman's life at that time. With such a great kindness, coupled with that person's courage and ability, it is normal for Miss Aman to have feelings of admiration in her heart.
of.
However, judging from the fact that the man did not take Miss Aman with him when he left, nothing should have happened between the two. Judging from the age of Miss Aman at that time, the man might just treat her as a younger sister.
