Good things don't always happen in this world - often, there may be more bad things, but as long as the sun can still rise tomorrow, you might as well look forward to the future a little more.
Under the towering canopy of the Thorin giant tree, a wind mixed with the smell of moist earth began to blow.
In the canopy of trees that looked like giant fortresses, countless branches and leaves began to rub and tremble, making a swishing sound like a tidal wave. The birds and animals living on the trees and in the surrounding bushes were somewhat alarmed. Running out of her hiding place, Margarita stepped on the hardened path, left the hut, and walked forward slowly.
She looked up and looked ahead. In the wonderful view formed by the huge tree canopy and the vast land, the sky turned into a stretched bright curtain, and a giant sun was slowly moving on the edge of the curtain. .
The young female knight narrowed her eyes, and a certain low and depressed mood lingered in her heart. She wanted to know who could share this heavy feeling with her at this moment - but in the end she only I can regain my composure and return to my usual calm and serious state.
Then, a few shadows suddenly emerged from the end of the horizontally elongated sky in the distance. The shadows were against the sunlight, like a few tiny gems dotted on the crown of the giant sun, but they soon disappeared. Quickly approaching Solinburg, in the light of the giant sun, the outlines of those shadows became more and more obvious.
Several sentry towers in the Solin area began to emit light signals, and the messenger on duty at the communication station appeared in Margarita's sight. The soldier ran towards her quickly, but before he could get close , Margarita had already guessed the situation——
His Majesty is finally here.
The female knight did not let herself be immersed in the depressing atmosphere. The knight's training and the quality of a professional soldier allowed her to adjust her condition instantly, and she quickly arrived at a high ground on the edge of the canopy coverage area - —This is the airport landing platform, a newly built facility in the military zone, used to take off and land the empire's flying machines.
Although the Construction Corps is not a frontline force, the reconstruction project of the Holy Spirit Plains has the same priority as the frontline project. When the empire's "Dragoons" and other types of aircraft are in serious shortage, this place can be Permission has been granted to build airport facilities, and a small "dragoon" force is permanently stationed in preparation for emergencies. Soldiers here are no strangers to aircraft.
The rapidly approaching shadow on the horizon finally arrived over the Solin area. The originally fuzzy and small shadow showed a clear outline in the skylight. Margarita and the soldiers looked up at the sky, watching. After clearing the appearance of one of the shadows, a low exclamation and obviously heavier breathing suddenly came from all around.
There is a huge black dragon flying in the pilot position of the entire formation! That's not the flying machine the soldiers are familiar with!
At first, some people thought it was an illusion caused by backlighting, thinking that it was just a new model of larger flying machine. After all, the dragoon's propulsion wing itself looked very much like a dragon's.Wings, but soon everyone realized that it was really a giant dragon - she was bigger than any dragoon, with scales like cast metal and powerful claws. She was covered in a set of steel armor, The armor glowed with a cold light under the sunlight, and the shimmer of runes flowed between the gaps in the armor, all of which demonstrated a powerful and breathtaking sense of majesty and beauty.
The black dragon flew in a prominent position in the entire formation, accompanied by four dragoons, which obviously proved the identity of the dragon.
There is a "dragon" among the empire's allies. This is not a secret in itself, but hearing about it and seeing it in person are completely different concepts. Not all soldiers have seen Maggie with their own eyes. Most of them It was the first time for people to see the "dragon shadow" crossing the sky. The strong impact spread among the soldiers. However, the strict discipline immediately took effect. After a few slight armor collisions, Ma It became quiet again behind Greta.
The female knight looked up at the sky and watched the dragon descend slowly - she had met Maggie before and even fought side by side, but at that time Maggie did not have a set of advanced magic weapons. Guided armor!
The black dragon landed on the platform in the sunshine, and the accompanying aircraft also adjusted their landing trajectories. When everything stabilized and the cyclones around the aircraft gradually dissipated, Margarita immediately She led several soldiers to the giant dragon that was drooping its wings - she saw a figure appearing on the dragon's back. It was an extraordinarily tall and burly figure. He stood there against the sun, as if chanting Like the dragon-riding hero in the bard's tale.
A second later, the female knight reacted immediately and led the soldiers to salute beside her: "Salute to you, Your Majesty!"
Gawain waved his hand and jumped off the dragon's back. : "No need to be polite, time is running out."
As he spoke, he turned around and patted Maggie's hanging giant wings covered with steel machinery: "Thank you for your hard work."
The Black Dragon lowered his head slightly, and said gently and respectfully: "This is what I should do, Your Majesty."
Several other aircraft also landed smoothly at this moment. After the pedals were put down, each figure emerged from the Walked out of the cockpit - but the only person Margarita knew was Rebecca.
Gawain had already arrived in front of Margarita. After a brief nod, he asked directly: "How is the situation?"
"Your Majesty... "Margarita felt her breathing paused for a moment. After taking a gentle breath to calm down, she lowered her eyelids and whispered, "You are late... Minister Norris has already left."
The surrounding soldiers were silent, but Gawain just looked at the female knight in front of him calmly. His tone was calm and soft: "Margarita, don't be depressed yet - how long ago did it happen?"
The female knight did not know what this question meant, but her military instinct made her answer immediately: "An hour ago, Your Majesty."
"Then maybe we are not too late - we still have time to create a miracle," Gao Wen said, and then waved to the side, "Unload all the equipment - the technician will follow, and we will assemble it when we get there. ”
As Margarita and the soldiers watched in confusion, the group of people who had just landed immediately became busy. They quickly ran to the black dragon, and then began to use various auxiliary tools and people to Carrying the large boxes off the dragon's back by pulling them on the shoulders - only then did Margarita notice the existence of those boxes. They looked like the standard transfer boxes used to install engineering parts in the base, gray and white. The outer shells were stamped with royal markings, and the people who moved them appeared to be very cautious. Although they moved quickly, they remained calm and cautious throughout the process. There is no doubt that the contents of those boxes are of great significance.
"Your Majesty. , what are you..." Margarita couldn't help but break the silence out of curiosity.
"You will know in a moment," Gawain waved his hand, "Now take us to Norris. "
Although full of doubts, Gawain's attitude and those weird boxes suddenly gave Margarita some inexplicable "hints". The female knight seemed to have guessed something. She couldn't believe her Guessing, he still straightened his back and replied loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
All relevant personnel quickly rushed to the hut located near the roots of Thorin’s giant tree. Two heavily armed tree men still guarded the only door. After Gawain approached, the tree men immediately He stepped back to both sides, and the door of the wooden house opened in the next second, and Bertila walked out.
"I'm going to make some attempts," Gawain said before Bertila could speak. He said first, "I need your help - you are the best bioengineering expert. "
Bertira was still a little confused, but soon she noticed several figures behind Gawain - Yuri and Semler were standing there, as well as Sai holding a lantern. Lina Gerfen, the moment she saw these figures, especially the moment she saw Selina Gerfen, Bertila's doubts turned into thoughtfulness, and she looked at Gao Feng. Wen: "Are you sure? Norris is just an ordinary person..."
"So this is an attempt," Gawain nodded and walked towards the room, "Don't worry, we have made huge progress in related technical fields. And they’re not the only ones I brought with me. ”
Bertila was very curious about what Gawain meant by “more than them”, but the latter had already taken the lead into the hut. She could only suppress her doubts and turn around to follow. While walking around the room, she suddenly caught something strange out of the corner of her eye - a nearly transparent white spider seemed to flash before her eyes, but when she focused her attention again, she couldn't see anything. p>
Even if she mobilized the entire Thorin giant tree's perception ability, she could not find the phantom spider - it seemed to be just an illusion.
Gawain stepped into the wooden house.
The respectable old man lay quietlyThere, the fluorescent light from the luminous plants on the roof enveloped him softly.
Everyone who stepped into the wooden house invariably slowed down their steps, and even Rebecca, who had always been the most reckless, stood quietly aside.
Gawain walked to the soft bed intertwined with vines and soft leaves. He lowered his head and saw that Norris was covered with a blanket. His hands were outside and folded on his chest. In front of him, he gently held a transparent glass tube in his hand. A green wheat plant was soaked in the glass tube. A calm and satisfied smile still remained on the old man's wrinkled face. He slept more peacefully than ever before. .
This exhausted body finally got a rest.
Suddenly, the scene from a few years ago appeared in Gawain's mind. He seemed to see the pioneer camp built on a wasteland again, and saw the tents built with wooden boards and burlap. and the hut, and saw the newly cultivated fields and the old man standing on the edge of the fields with a humble smile to himself.
He slowly bent down and put his hand on Norris's.
"I'm sorry, Norris," he whispered, "What I'm going to do next is without your consent. This is my wishful thinking and I want to Technology that has not yet been verified and is not even considered a 'technology' is used on you.
"I may disturb your sleep, so... I apologize to you in advance.
“But I have to do it.
“The wheat is about to be ripe. You should see it with your own eyes. "
Then, Gawain slowly straightened up, retracted his gaze, and whispered to the people waiting next to him: "Let's get started. ”
The technicians had already opened the safe boxes after entering the house, and now they took out a large number of parts inside - they were disassembled brainwave modulation devices, glowing with silver. Artificial nerve cords, neat crystal arrays, and many things that Margarita could never guess their usefulness.
They are an incomplete set of devices and are the basis of immersion chamber technology. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for such a pile of parts to function - but Gawain brought experts with the technical foundation in related fields seven hundred years ago. Under almost zero conditions, the first generation of Eternal Sleepers had successfully preserved a fragmented soul through human effort.
That soul belonged to a legendary powerhouse.
< p>Now, they have to try to save the soul of an ordinary person - this is of course much more difficult than it was back then.But the technology they have at their disposal today is far from what it was back then.
< p>The parts were quickly assembled. Next to Norris's bed, a silver-white base was placed in place, and the signal connection with the local wireless magic network was quickly completed, achieving stable energy supply. Then the crystal array was adjusted and ready, and artificial nerve cords were extended from the base.Stretching out——They were handed over by Yuri to Bertila who was at the scene.Selena Gerfen, who appeared in the room as a psychological projection with a lantern in hand, nodded slightly to Bertila: "You know what to do - the improvement of this technology is You personally participated and completed it back then.
“The location of the neural nodes remains unchanged, the difference is that now we don’t need destructive implants – use your vines to fix them and make skull base epidermal contact. , and finally activate those nerves. "
Speaking of this, Selina suddenly showed a smile. She looked into Bertila's eyes: "Our success rate is very high - because you are still forcibly maintaining this body. activity of most biological tissues. ”
Bertila gently raised his hands, and several flower vines extending from the floor wrapped around the artificial nerve cords and attached them to the target position one by one. After hearing Selena’s words, At this time, the former saint who had become one with the plants and the earth just smiled softly.
“I still expect miracles occasionally. "She whispered in a voice as if she was talking to herself.
Margarita finally knew what these people wanted to do.
Rebbe stood beside her Ka whispered everything to her.
His Majesty the Emperor will try to preserve Norris's soul and transform it into a mind that can survive in the Empire's data network - this is not a hugely flawed and dangerous undead. Spell, but a new magic technology
Behind this technology, there is a plan called "Immortal"
Margarita is interested in this. The secret behind the plan wasn't of interest - it wasn't what she should be focusing on.
She was focused on what was going on in the room.
The technicians were busy in the room. Busy, the fluorescent light falling from directly above gently envelopes the old man on the bed, and the pioneer hero who came from legends and myths stands solemnly beside the bed. All this is solemn and solemn.
Margarita closed her eyes slightly.
Good things don't always happen in this world - often, there may be more bad things.
As long as the sun shines tomorrow. If it can still rise, you might as well look forward to the future.
