Hao Ren soon received the news from Galadra and Anthony: the envoys sent by Odin had worked. Although the Twilight Guards and Wizards were confused, they were temporarily under the direct orders of the Steam Council.
The fighting has stopped, and now the two sides on the upper platform are facing off awkwardly, while the follow-up troops of the Steam Council are cleaning up the mess. Although the Dragon Queen and others have tried their best to hold back, after all, several big killers are over there, and the wounded of the Twilight Guards
But there are quite a few, and the aftermath of the lift platform will probably keep the Steam Council busy for a while.≦
But anyway, there is no need to worry about the above things here.
"In the past two thousand years, I have thought about a lot of things." After Odin told the story of the establishment of the Twilight City, he couldn't help but sigh again, "We are outsiders. In fact, I knew from the beginning that we are innately powerful.
Or the 'alien' with powerful technology are obviously not the indigenous people of this world. We are just poor refugees who live here for some reason, but we have expanded because there is a group of indigenous people in this world who are equally intelligent but far weaker than us.
Biology, this makes us feel that we are the natural rulers of this world. We occupy land that does not belong to us majestically, but we lack the basis for development: population, history, culture, technological system... except for those brought from our hometown.
We actually have nothing except the sporadic inheritance. But even if we can still rely on a simple dominance over all living beings, this completely blinds everyone's eyes.
"Human beings are ignorant, so we think they are born ignorant. Human beings are weak, so we think they will always be weak. Human beings do not understand runes and technology, so we think they do not have the qualifications and wisdom to touch these things. But in fact? They created
They conquered this twilight city in some ways that even I couldn't think of...Old friend, you are right, this world is theirs after all."
"Actually, the development of human beings is far greater than you think. If they were not trapped in these ruins," Vivian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Do you know what the earth is like now? Human beings can already fly.
They are everywhere on the moon, sky, ocean, and land. The cities they built are more magnificent than any divine kingdom in the mythical era. The changes have been so great... I don't even know how to tell you."
"Then don't say it," Odin said with some relief in his voice, "Anyway, my time has passed. I am very happy to see you again, and I think you are doing well.
This shows that at least some alien species have survived in today's world, which is somewhat of a comfort to me. In fact, I only have one request from you..."
Hao Ren suddenly said: "Help this Twilight City?"
"That's right," Odin said slowly, "I was thinking about giving up completely, but your sudden appearance gave me some hope. Since you have a way to come in from the outside world, you should also have a way to get rid of the people here.
I don’t know if you have noticed it when people are taken out, but this city has actually come to an end. Although humans have been trying to extend the life of the city as much as possible and displayed amazing technologies under the barrier, everything is coming to an end..."
In fact, Hao Ren would have thought of a way to take away the millions of people in this city without Odin speaking, but at this time he still subconsciously asked: "What went wrong?"
"I," Odin said calmly, "I'm dying."
Although they had expected it, Hao Ren and Vivian still fell silent when they heard this sentence.
Hao Ren looked up at the dome of the throne room. In fact, this dome was not completely closed. There was a huge circular cavity directly above the roof. Through the cavity, he could see the scenery outside the fortress. He saw crisscrossing lines.
With steel beams and city buildings stacked up one after another, the entire Twilight City is like a bloated nest, and Odin in the deepest part of the nest is like a cornerstone, with the entire city weighing heavily on his shoulders.
superior.
Although the operating mechanism of the Twilight Barrier has not yet been understood, there is no doubt that the city's defense mechanism is entirely based on Odin himself.
Hao Ren looked at Odin again: This old man who was sealed in the crystal and had become weak and decayed. His current weakness is undoubtedly related to maintaining the twilight barrier all year round.
"Maybe you don't have to die," Hao Ren communicated with the data terminal and smiled, "I have a way to restore your health. But before that, I have to ask you something: We are here on a mission.
Looking for an ancient aircraft that once belonged to the wise giant Mimir. The aircraft should be quite huge, and it was finally sunk into the Fountain of Wisdom. However, it is said that it may follow the branches of Yggdrasil in the Nine
It moved between large kingdoms, so we can't pinpoint its location right now."
Vivian next to her added: "If you can help us find that thing, we can move the entire Twilight City out at any time."
A few seconds later, Odin spoke with a hesitant tone: "Is it a black spaceship you are looking for?"
Hao Ren was suddenly shocked: "Do you know where it is?!"
Odin paused and suddenly burst into low laughter. Then the laughter became louder and louder. He finally couldn't suppress it: "Ha... haha... fate, fate. The three Norn sisters always talk about fate.
But I’m afraid even they wouldn’t have thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world…”
Hao Ren quickly grabbed Vivian's arm: "The old man won't hit her, right?"
Vivian frowned: "No, he already smoked it two thousand years ago..."
Odin suddenly raised his voice: "Do you know what the twilight barrier is?"
Hao Ren was startled: "What is it?"
Odin's voice came from all directions: "The spaceship you are looking for is here."
As soon as the words fell, a creaking and rubbing sound sounded from deep underground.
Hao Ren was shocked to find that the floor of the throne hall was actually covered with a thin barrier that was completely transparent. Everything including the throne and the cables were actually placed on the barrier. The reason why he saw this was because
The stone slabs under the barrier are moving one after another, retreating towards the surroundings!
The sound of mechanical friction became louder and louder, and the entire floor of the throne hall began to deform. The heavy strips of stone disassembled themselves with dizzying movement patterns, dispersed, and disappeared one by one into the roots of the walls around the hall. When the ground receded,
, Hao Ren saw the secret hidden in the deepest part of the Twilight City:
In a huge cave that emits a faint red light, a huge interstellar spacecraft is parked quietly.
Most of the structure of this spacecraft is hidden in the deep darkness. Its specific shape and size cannot be seen from here, but the only thing that is certain is that it is quite large. This spacecraft is obviously not completely silent. Part of it is
Dots of lights flickered on the armor plate, while two streams of light snaked up from the depths of darkness. Although the light was weak, it was enough to show that the central power system of the spacecraft was still running and sending energy outwards.
And Odin's Iron Throne is surprisingly built on a protruding structure on the top of this spaceship: they are completely connected together!
"The Twilight Barrier... is the shield of this ship," Odin's voice woke Hao Ren out of his astonishment. "Although I didn't know what it was at first, I found that it was used by Yugudolaxi.
Er's vines were sent to Midgard, and there was powerful power inside them. At that time, the Twilight City had not yet taken shape, and the few city-states that barely survived relied on a large number of rune barriers to barely resist the erosion of the outside world, so I thought of using this
A powerful energy source of unknown origin to build a defense system."
"I'll take it...you said this is a coincidence..." Hao Ren thought that it was exactly what Odin said. Destiny is a wonderful thing, and his previous actions were indeed the right one: if he took Twilight
Put aside the matters in the capital for the time being and concentrate on finding Mimir's spaceship. There may be many detours involved!
But then again, in fact, he had a vague feeling before that there should be clues about this ship in the Twilight City: after all, a whole city survived the Twilight of the Gods, which requires very powerful power. This power
It was unlikely to come from ordinary humans, so he associated the starship with the Twilight City at that time.
But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"I studied for a long time and couldn't open the shell of this thing, but I successfully activated its shield from the outside, expanded the shield, and moved it over the entire city," Odin said with pride in his voice.
However, maintaining this shield requires continuous stimulation from the outside, so I sit here, day after day, year after year, preventing the twilight barrier from extinguishing." (To be continued.) 8
