Chapter 1277 Hollow Body

It is impossible for the Typhon people to be excluded from the various achievements of the "Gate Project", which not only includes the exploration of the Kingdom of God itself, but also various unexpected discoveries during the exploration process—and Gao As one of the initiators of the project and one of the main leaders of the alliance, Wen certainly has no intention of kicking the allies away under such circumstances.

But now he suspects that the origin of the "steel land" may be related to the voyager, and may even be able to have a relationship with his own body in space. Unforeseen circumstances, which may not be appropriate to reveal to a stranger.

Although Melita Pernia is not considered a "person of her own" in the Cecil Empire, she is at least a close friend in terms of personal relationship, and she also knows something about the sailors. The situation of Windsor Mapel is the same. It's different, Gawain doesn't know anything about this Typhon scholar - he doesn't know what will happen to this lady if he shows too much specialness on the Iron Land or activates some Voyager technology Uncontrollable reactions.

Daniel, who hadn't spoken much from the side, stood up at this moment.

"Let me go." The old mage glanced at his former apprentice lightly, "A scholar-type mage like you who is used to conducting research in a stable environment may not be able to handle exploratory actions that require adaptability and experience. It doesn't matter how strong your personal power is. I still have some adventures after leaving the Royal Society of Mages."

He paused for a moment, then looked at his other apprentice: "And I can bring Mary with me."

Windsor Mapel looked at her mentor in surprise, with a hesitant look on her face, until Daniel added as if inadvertently: "There needs to be a top technical official who can control the overall situation outside the 'gate'."

"Yes, your suggestion is very reasonable, I understand," Windsor immediately reacted, and nodded solemnly to his mentor, "Then I will take the technical directors to meet outside, and you must pay attention to safety."

Daniel nodded lightly, while Gawain just stood on the sidelines expressionlessly, while on the other side, Melita Purnia was handing two baby dragons to Noretta.

"You stay here with the two little ones—there's no need for Mei Li and Noelie to take risks that have nothing to do with the dark blue rift," she said to her friend very solemnly, "If everything goes well, we will be back in two days can come back."

"Take care of yourself, protect yourself, and adapt to the situation." As a giant dragon who has experienced the coming-of-age ceremony together, Noretta has no nonsense at the moment, but just reminds her friends to pay attention to safety. The legacy is very deep."

"Do not worry,

I know—I have a 'heart-to-heart' relationship with him. Melita laughed, reached out and pressed the two young dragons who were looking at her curiously, and then rubbed Noretta's snow-like hair, and quickly ran to the dragon before the latter got angry. Next to it, a brilliant light curtain descended from the sky, and under the cover of the light curtain, the slender female figure began to rapidly transform into a dragon form.

In the sea of ​​sand and dust clouds in the distance, the huge steel giant is still approaching the border of the Kingdom of God with an astonishing momentum, and the layers of silver-white alloy armor and the shimmering lines on the edge of the armor belt are more and more clearly visible in the dim light , the sea of ​​clouds raised up and down waves, the quicksand was brought up by the edge of the steel land, and then slid down like a waterfall, and a low-pitched roar came from far to near-this roar was not loud, but it made people feel like they could Feeling the huge energy contained in the depths of that "steel land" makes the hearts of those who hear it for the first time tremble with fear.

A vague feeling suddenly surged out from the bottom of Gao Wen's heart. He subconsciously looked at the steel giant that was gradually approaching the nearest point. Amid the overwhelming oppressive force, what he saw was in that huge giant. However, the countless streams of light flowing inside the giant and some unexplainable illusory projections—this feeling is very similar to when he came into contact with the tower against the tide, but it is slightly different.

This thing is indeed a legacy left by the voyager, and... it is still "alive", just as "alive" as the Sky Station or the Tower Against the Tide.

The sound of heavy footsteps came from behind, and Melita in the form of a dragon walked to the edge of the fragmented kingdom of God. She lowered her head and stared at the tiny "passengers" under her feet with her huge eyes that condensed the brilliance of magic power. Her voice rumbled: " I'm ready, come up."

The personnel who were scheduled to go to the "Steel Land" to carry out the exploration mission stepped forward immediately, Gawain's eyes swept over the entire exploration team (including Melita as the flying vehicle), and his heart gradually settled down.

Followers, dog legs, buddies, brain fans, 25 seniors, 25 trainees—the composition of the team is very reassuring.

The giant dragon soared into the sky, and rushed out of the border of the Kingdom of God accompanied by violent air currents and jolts. The people who stayed in the Kingdom of God looked up at the direction the dragon left, silently looking forward to the safety of this operation in their hearts. smoothly.

"I hope that the legendary Gawain Cecil can solve this mystery," Windsor Mapel said softly, "The farther we go, the more unknown things we see in front of us... "

"The essence of exploration and research is to clarify the boundaries of ignorance, so that you can more clearly realize the vastness of this world," Noretta's eyes always followed Melita's figure, but her mouth responded to Windsor's exclamation. A young dragon hugged her thigh with its front paws, and the other tried to hang itself on her shoulders, "Stupid and shallow people are the most free from confusion, because they have never been in touch with things beyond their own cognition all their lives. Nothing can make them doubt and think, only the explorers who walk ahead will always be accompanied by confusion, because they deal with the borders of civilization every day."

As a profound scholar, Windsor Mapel certainly knew this truth, so she just smiled, and then looked into the distance again, and in the corner of her field of vision, a fragmented border of the Kingdom of God, decorated with swords On the high platform of the shield, Malm Dunit's figure also appeared at some point, looking at the direction where the sea of ​​clouds ends from a distance.

This "ghost" who has already lived with the Kingdom of God does not always show up in front of people. Most of the time, he will wander around in other parts of the Kingdom of God, as if he is maintaining and patrolling this silent "City of Gods", He will not disturb the activities of the explorers here, and he does not take the initiative to communicate with the people who enter here, but when the explorers do something that can arouse their interest, he will still appear quietly, quietly like this Far view.

What is he looking at? Are you looking at a world that is already unfamiliar to him? Or is he just replacing his "lord" and watching where these mortals who broke into the kingdom of God will go?

That wasn't what the explorers were concerned about. Windsor Mapel just took one more look at the former God of War Pope, gave him a slight nod, and then looked away.

...

The spectacular but unsettling "border cloud sea" surged under the dragon, gradually receding, and the "steel land" with silver-white armor and complex structure gradually enlarged in the field of vision. Amber and Mordir They all widened their eyes, staring at the ever-approaching destination in the distance, while Gawain patted the scales under his body, and asked Melita, "Are you okay? The turbulence was very severe when we took off just now—I I almost thought you were going to fall."

"There is a lack of magic power in the environment of the God of War God Kingdom, which makes me uncomfortable," Melita's voice came later, "When taking off, you can only use your own magic power to lift into the sky, and you can only follow the rules when you leave the scope of the God Kingdom." Flying in the normal way - this process seems to need practice and practice."

"I see." Gao Wen nodded, and felt relieved after knowing the reason.

The flight of giant dragons does not comply with "aerodynamics", nor does it rely entirely on flapping its wings to lift the airflow to lift into the air. This is a fact that real "dragonologists" are gradually understanding-these huge creatures need to rely on The airflow and "ripples of magic power" can make them fly, and the lift provided by flapping their wings is far from enough. The edges of their wings have complex innate rune structures, so their flight process is essentially a "casting spell" process".

"It seems that the special environment of God of War is also very unfriendly to you," Kamel on the side also knew the secret of the dragon's flight, and said with emotion at this time, "I'm afraid you are here at all Unable to fly for long periods of time."

"In fact, even gliding is very tiring," Melita said helplessly, "but fortunately, everything will return to normal after leaving that place——Okay, everyone, sit tight and support us, we are about to land!"

The explorers on the dragon's back immediately tightened their nerves. The next second, they noticed that they had passed through a thin and transparent energy barrier covering the steel ground. The feeling of passing through the cold curtain was fleeting. After a while, the huge body of the giant dragon landed on a relatively flat and open metal platform with a moderate impact.

There was no anti-aircraft fire that automatically counterattacked, and no hostile mechanical garrison emerged—just like when the explorer doll landed, the bad situation did not happen.

Daniel was the first to get up, cast a levitation technique and landed on the platform - he deliberately didn't have too much communication with Gawain, although Amber and Victoria here knew the inside story, but Modil and Melita He didn't know about the "No. 25 Liaison Officer", so at least on the surface, he still had to maintain his status as the "Technical Representative of Typhon".

The explorers left the dragon's back one by one, and Gawain walked last. When he was about to step on the ground, he couldn't help but look back at My little pony, who was bending down and hanging his wings aside, and said casually: "You The landing was smooth - I was prepared to roll over for a while."

"It doesn't happen to me every time!" Melita yelled in dissatisfaction when she heard this, "I just have bad eyesight—— I can't miss such a large area! And the last time I fell Didn't I apologize to you for entering the sea..."

Immediately afterwards, there were a bunch of half-understandable words such as "limited deceleration", "avoiding flight", and "dragon forced landing cannot be called a crash", and the platform was soon filled with a happy atmosphere.

But this cheerful atmosphere did not let the explorers relax their vigilance, nor did it make everyone reduce their ability to observe.

Gawain raised his head and saw a layer of translucent energy barrier clearly visible in his field of vision, blocking the sea of ​​dust and dust surging outside, and within the range of his field of vision, was a silver-white or silver-gray steel extending into the distance The deck, and some facilities like buildings fixed on the deck.

Yes, he used the word "deck" for this so-called "iron land".

He thinks this thing is a ship, a spaceship that cruises according to the predetermined procedures in the realm of the kingdom of God.

It is not silent here, the humming or trembling sound of some ancient mechanical devices has been coming from certain directions, and these sounds make the intruders aware of something deep in the "earth" under their feet. These things are still surging with power, and all kinds of lights can be seen everywhere on the upper deck. These lights, large and small, create many dividing lines between light and dark among the deck facilities. Gawain raised his head and looked at the Towards the end of the straight metal road in front of him, he saw that the distance was still shrouded in chaotic shadows, and some rising lights were quietly burning in the depths of the darkness—like the light and shadow produced by the tail flame of some kind of propulsion device.

Amber stretched her neck to look around, and whispered to Gao Wen while recalling what she saw on the dragon's back just now: "Hey, compared with our '115 Project'... which one is bigger? A little?"

Project No. 115 is currently the largest war weapon manufacturing plan in the Cecil Empire. Its main body is an air and sky fortress that is being assembled at the foot of the Dark Mountains—its assembly has entered the second half. Although it is not completed, its scale has already quite a lot.

It was the largest man-made "device" that Amber could think of.

But even Project 115 seems to be difficult to compare with this thing in front of me...even if the only thing they want to compare is size.

"This thing is bigger, maybe even bigger than the Temple of Stars," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "This is not something that our current technology can create... Both the inside and the outside are beyond what is available today. The technological limit of the era."

"This...will it be left by the voyager?" Melita, who had already turned into a human form, swallowed her saliva, and said with a trace of tension on her face, "I feel that the style is a bit..."

Gao Wen didn't wait for Miss Blue Dragon to finish: "Yes, this is the legacy of the sailors."

Melita opened her mouth, as if she wanted to sigh something, but she didn't say it after all, and the other people next to her also tensed up, concentrating on this extremely strange and unknown "immemorial heritage" to mortals.

Gao Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He communicated with the satellite body located in the space of the material world, and communicated with the main system of the sky station. After confirming that everything was connected normally, he began to follow the experience he had accumulated in the Tower Against the Tide, Try to establish some kind of connection with the "giant ship" under your feet that is cruising autonomously under the control of some automatic program.

In fact, he doesn't know how to establish a connection, or even whether this thing can respond to him, but generally speaking...as long as it is the legacy of the sailor, there must be some kind of resonance between them, even if the authority is restricted , he should also receive some feedback when he comes into contact with it.

However, he didn't "hear" anything. When he tried to penetrate his spiritual power into the giant steel ship under his feet, all he felt was nothingness—this is a cold body, just following the most primitive The programming runs blindly, just like the crude machines produced by mortals in this era...it does not have a "control system" that can respond to the identification signal of the sailor.

This seems to be different from the Legacy of the Voyagers that Gawain has come into contact with.
