The Yunliu Tower standing on the plain brought the latest news. The great leader of the ethnic group had ended his journey in the fourth millennium ahead of schedule and returned to the land shaped by him. In the land protected by him.
As the youngest "visitor" in the tribe, today is a very special day for Mabel.
Because she was chosen as an audience member on the days when the main consciousness of the leader of the ethnic group set out to leave this land, and during her years of professional life after that, she faced All of them are just the body of the leader of the group left on the earth temporarily. The silent and majestic body has been sleeping for several years and has never responded to Mabel's care and greetings.
Young "visitors" can only guess what kind of individual the leader of the group is from the words of their older colleagues, imagine how they should establish communication with that great being, and imagine what kind of person they are when they are among the group. How should I behave more appropriately and thoughtfully when the Lord returns to this land and that majestic body suddenly awakens?
And now, this day has arrived early.
In the early morning, the morning light gradually became brighter.
The bright orange-yellow sun has jumped beyond the horizon and is gradually hanging high in the sky like a dazzling fireball. The brilliant sunshine is shining on the plain, completely destroying the crops, towns and roads on the plain. All coated with a layer of gold, Mabel came out of the room, took a deep breath in the sunshine, and her eyes fell in the direction of the "Supreme Nest" not far away.
The ancient and mysterious fortress still stands quietly at the foot of the cliff. The barrier made of strong alloy blends into the cliff like a blade. The high towers and atmospheric probes near the fortress are still there. There was a low hum in the sunlight, and occasionally a fine static ring escaped from one of the towers, resonating subtly with the Yunliu Tower on the plain in the distance. This was the signal that the leader of the group had returned to his lair.
Mabel felt that the scales on her arms and neck were slightly itchy, and her tail covered with black hard scales was involuntarily straightening. She knew that she was nervous, but who could be in front of her? Aren't you nervous when meeting the leader of the group?
What's more, this can be regarded as her "first meeting".
For the intelligent beings living on this warm and fertile planet only seven light minutes from the sun, meeting the leader of the group is no small matter.
After quickly finishing washing and changing clothes, the visitors got into the car heading to the Supreme Nest. The scaleless six-legged beast of burden led the vehicle to the entrance of the nest briskly and smoothly. Maybelle poked her head out. Outside the window, I watched the magnificent gate gradually enlarge in my field of vision. When the beast of burden approached the gate, two small triangular machines floated out from inside the gate.
This kind of machine is the guardian of the leader of the group. Mabel's compatriots are quite familiar with it. Although its principle is not yet known, everyone knows that this small machine has been used for a long time in the past. They all bear the responsibility of guiding the world's creatures, and now, the once dull people haveAfter developing to the stage where they can survive alone in nature, most of these guardians returned to the lair of the leader of the group and various bases to take on the most basic security work.
The two small machines carefully scanned the beast of burden and the car behind it with their dark red single eyes, and then quickly let them go.
This was the most ordinary daily inspection work, but Maybelle exhaled hard. This reaction was noticed by the colleague sitting next to her, and the more experienced colleague suddenly laughed. Get up, "Maybell, you're getting nervous again."
"I'm not nervous," Maybelle retorted in a panic, but then her voice dropped again, "Okay, actually a little bit."
p>“It’s normal to be nervous. I was just as nervous as you when I talked to the leader of the group for the first time. I even forgot to respond to the leader of the group’s question and asked him to repeat the question three times before I gave it to him. "Ah" This was the first time Mabel heard such a thing from her colleagues, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't the leader of the group angry?"
"Of course not, the leader of the group." The colleague paused here, seeming to be thinking about more suitable words. "The leader of the group is more patient and kind than you think. He doesn't care about worldly etiquette and hierarchy. relationship, but correspondingly, he will care more about some essential things."
"Essential things." Mabel was a little confused, "What does this mean?"
"Not very good. "Explanation," the colleague thought for a moment and spread his hands, "because I also heard it from others. If I have to talk about it, it is things like group mental health."
Mabel felt that in her heart Not only did her doubts not disappear, but they became more intense than before, but she soon had no chance to continue questioning. With a mechanized synthesized broadcast coming from outside the car, the audience arrived at the "diversion" in the nest fortress. Crossroads".
Following the prompts, Maybelle and her colleagues left the car, and a square with many forks appeared in front of her. She quickly found her own name among the forks. It floats on the projection above the intersection, and a traffic floating board fixed on the chute track is already waiting for it.
The colleagues said goodbye to each other, and Mabel followed the instructions and stood on the metal plate. As the metal plate accelerated briskly, the scenery on both sides of the road began to recede in her sight, and she soon Away from the square, away from his colleagues on other branches, and headed towards a room deep in the lair.
When she was about to enter the closed area, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at the high platform at the end of the square.
A huge and shocking body is quietly crawling on the high platform. It looks like some kind of ancient behemoth with amazing wings and a strong torso, but it is made of cold steel. Cast into the whole body, it has been crawling there for countless centuries. Even with the most careful maintenance and care, time is still left on that steel body.Countless mottled marks.
Mabel remembered that the elders of the clan once said that that was the "carrier" used by the leader of the clan when he first came to this land.
It is said that such a body is not the original appearance of the leader of the group, but comes from an older and more distant race. The leader of the group imitated the appearance of this ancient race to create his original carrier, and used This carrier crossed the vast sea of stars and landed on a land that was still desolate in ancient times, where it sowed its first vitality.
And that ancient and distant race is still the most trusted and closest ally of the leader of the ethnic group, and the indispensable travel companion of the leader of the ethnic group when he "travels" in the star sea.
To be honest, these distant and ethereal things are really difficult for Mabel to understand. In fact, even the elders of the clan do not know much about these things. They only occasionally learn from the leader of the clan. He heard some distant stories from a few words, and then used his own understanding to explain them, and then taught them to the young children.
Mabel withdrew her gaze and put aside the associations in her mind about "far journeys", "star seas", and "ancient races". The surrounding light was gradually softening, and she had entered the nest. of a confined space.
After a calm moment of waiting, the speed of the traffic float gradually slowed down, and the corridor reached the end. Maybelle looked forward and saw that she had been sent to the "Audience Chamber", and this was where she was. One of the most familiar rooms in this lair.
The leader of the group was waiting for her in the deepest part of the audience chamber.
A rectangular parallelepiped alloy creation with several people's height stood quietly at the end of the room. There was a faint flicker of light on its silver-gray shell, and a flashing red "eye pupil" could be seen at the top of the shell. ", some kind of crystal "eyes" calmly stared at Maybelle who was jumping off the traffic floating board.
On both sides of this standing rectangular machine, many small equipment can be seen running smoothly, and a low buzzing sound echoes throughout the room.
This low humming sound is the sound of the leader of the pack when he is thinking.
Mabel swallowed.
The scene here is no different from what she has seen in the past few years, but she knows that what she sees today is no longer the cold ancient machines of the past few years. These machines An ancient and great consciousness is now active in it. The consciousness of the leader of the group has ended its journey in the star sea and has now returned to his loyal body.
"Mabel, certified descendant individual, fx1234551s32, don't be nervous, take a few steps forward, let me see you clearly."
The voice of the leader of the group sounded in the room, low , calm, yet inexplicably reassuring.
Mabel immediately swallowed hard, then took a few steps forward and came to the tall machine.
The dark red color on the top of the machineThe "eyes" looked at the petite girl standing in the room carefully, while the endless thought code flowed inside the machine.
Argonian, 733rd generation of group b, healthy, adult individual, main heart rate is high, she is a little nervous, but within the standard value.
"Hello," Maybelle finally reacted. She bowed in a panic, her voice so loud that she was startled. "Hello, clan clan"
< p> "Lord of the ethnic group, this is the title you gave me. Don't bite your tongue for this title." The calm and majestic voice sounded in the room again. "If you find it difficult to pronounce the word, you can also call me directly. "I'm Omega, this should be a simpler pronunciation in your language.""Ah, no, no, no, my language skills are fine." Mabel was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand. She didn’t even know what she wanted to say. The first conversation with the leader of the group was completely different from any of her previous imaginations. “I’m just a little nervous.”
“It doesn’t matter, you’ll get used to it if you’re nervous. "Very few people are truly lifelong sociopaths," the voice of the leader of the group is always so unhurried, "A long time ago, a friend of mine said this."
"Lifelong. "Social fear." Mabel blinked. A word beyond her cognition made her temporarily forget her nervousness. "What does social fear mean?"
"This is a word from a distant alien planet, referring to "Forget it, I'll explain it next time."
The reaction given by the leader of the group surprised Mabel, and the young Argonian girl could clearly hear it from the voice echoing in the room. She felt a helpless and lazy mood, but she didn't dare to point it out. She just lowered her head and listened honestly.
She heard the leader of the group continue to say, "Mabel, I have been paying attention to you. You are a young and energetic child. Next, I want to ask you some questions. You can think of this as It was a casual chat."
Mabel nodded subconsciously, but then her eyes widened in surprise, "You have been paying attention to me all these years."
"My main consciousness has been traveling all these years, but that doesn't mean I don't know what's happening here," the voice of the leader of the group seemed to have a hint of smile, "Maybelle, I always pay attention to what I can Every planet I sensed."
Mabel nodded in understanding.
She was ready, ready to face every question that the protectors, shapers, and watchers of the land had to ask.
In the deepest part of this ancient lair, in the main server array hall that the "visitors" have no right to enter, the server nodes are running quietly with a low hum. .
Omega's thinking flows in this huge computing array, and at the bottom of his thinking, there is a conversation going on across the vast sea of stars
"To Loren Noi The United Shipping Group, after analyzing the latest data collectedAccording to the summary analysis, I believe that the training plan on Planet Omega 1 has been successful, and the Argonian race has grown into a healthy and strong group. Based on this, it can be proved that the smooth adulthood process of the Noi civilization under the influence of the pioneer race is possible. Copied Omega. ”
“To Omega, I am very happy to hear the news about the success of the project. This long and large-scale observation project finally has gratifying results, which will be of great help to the ship team in its subsequent development operations.” It plays a vital reference role when formulating contact plans for native civilizations.
"In addition, I would like to convey to you the lamentations from some anonymous people in the Immortal Matrix. If this project starts from now on, I really don’t know when the results will be achieved. It seems that it is thanks to you. On a whim of the year
"We look forward to more observations from Combined Ship Navigator, Tyr. ”
The book recommendation this time is from Fox Man’s Abyss Train, an underground underworld adventure story full of life. Do you think I won’t be able to breastfeed after finishing the book?
