Chapter 1291 Return

The entire port area was shrouded in a rising smoke and a loud crash like rolling thunder.

The giant blue dragon soared into the sky and rushed up to the sky in a cloud of dust. The crown of the giant tree of reincarnation collapsed behind her. Those huge wooden structures that had supported for thousands of years were like a giant city broken in a dream. The branches as thick as a bell tower, the huge leaves withered and shrunken, and the vines that had just died broke off in a series of loud noises and fell to the ground of the home port. It trembled, and rolled up one after another larger-scale smoke and dust.

Gawain and the others stood on the edge of Melita's broad back, lowered their heads and looked down at the earth. The sight they saw was so spectacular that everyone was dumbfounded.

It was as if a whole city collapsed from the sky in front of my eyes, thousands of years of history were shattered into pieces in a few minutes, and the entire port area was shrouded in it. In the thick smoke and dust clouds, even the lights left by the sailors were wiped out. covered up.

A big funeral.

"Everyone, stand still!" Melita's voice came from the front, as if she was struggling, "The smoke and dust below are rising too fast, we have to speed up!"

As soon as Miss Lanlong finished speaking, Gao Wen and the others felt a shaking coming from their feet. They immediately ignored the spectacular scene below, but immediately stabilized their respective figures. The dust also began to be accelerated and thrown behind Melita, and she rushed out of the most serious area of ​​the collapse at the fastest speed, and the spaceship parked in the port finally appeared in front of everyone.

Where the spaceship is connected to the port, the spreading dust has covered all kinds of lights, and the remains of giant trees on the spaceship and the shrubs and flowers in the wreckage have also been reduced to pieces, but fortunately, the entire spaceship The scale is huge, and the dust-shrouded area only occupies a small area on the edge of the deck. Melita directly crossed that deck, skimmed among a bunch of ship buildings, and finally landed on an open alloy platform.

Gawain was the first to jump onto the deck. He stood on a high place and looked towards the direction of the home port. Under the hazy lights and the background sky light brought by the energy barrier, the majestic crown of the giant tree of reincarnation and the Disappeared, only a "sea of ​​clouds" rose from the original place, like a continuous, rapidly growing mountain range, covering the port where the giant tree used to be.

"...In this way, the investigation team we send here may not be so easy to act next time," Kamel floated from the side, and said in a low voice, "The collapsed giant tree of reincarnation seems to be completely sealed. In the entire port area, if the investigation team wants to explore the home port in depth, I am afraid that they will have to make a way through the collapsed ruins first."

Amber, who jumped down next to him, let out a long sigh: "That's a huge pile bigger than the giant tree of Thorin... Even if the engineering troops are sent over, I'm afraid it will take forever to dig..."

Listening to Amber and Kamel next to me,

Gao Wen just watched the distance quietly without saying a word.

Until after a while, a low mechanical hum suddenly came from the depths of the deck of the spaceship under everyone's feet. The mechanical locking devices between the ship and the port were unlocked one by one, and the huge ancient engine started suddenly, and the ship itself The protective barrier rose automatically—the port area in the distance gradually moved away from the view, and the spaceship under his feet embarked on a cruising journey among many kingdoms of the gods again. Gao Wencai seemed to wake up from meditation, and said lightly: " The spaceship has set sail, let's take a rest first—eat something and recover your strength."

Ever since the spaceship left the Kingdom of God of War and the team embarked on this unprecedented journey of exploration, everyone's nerves have been highly tense. Feeling tired, and now they have finally left the "Sentinel Home Port". Although the next return trip will be spent on this spaceship, at least the most uncontrollable and risk-prone part of the journey It's over, everyone can relax their nerves more or less.

The exploration team found an open space suitable for rest near the entrance to the passageway inside the ship, took out the food and water they had brought, and began to eat and recover their strength. In order to prevent accidents during the last part of the journey, Melita did not return to her human form. Instead, he maintained the form of a giant dragon and rested on the nearby deck. The huge body of the giant dragon was like a raised city wall, which brought a convincing sense of security out of thin air.

Melita was lying on her stomach on the deck, her huge scale-covered tail slightly bent, surrounding the temporary camped exploration team like a barrier, but her head went around to the other side of the team, her huge head resting on an alloy platform On the edge, one eye was watching the movement on the side of the deck, and the other was watching Kohaber and the others who were resting, looking a bit bored.

At this moment, Amber walked over holding a piece of sweet bread, and shook it in front of Melita's eyes: "Hey, don't you want to eat something?"

"Are you talking about my dragon form or my human form?" Melita raised her eyelids, and a deep rumbling voice came out of her throat, "In dragon form, your dough is not enough for my teeth—but the dragon form itself There is no need to eat frequently, I ate before leaving yesterday, and the next meal can be eaten next week."

"...you Dragon Clan are amazing," Hu Po was stunned, she stuffed the bread into her mouth and said vaguely while gnawing, "I can't, I'm most afraid of going hungry."

Melita immediately closed her eyes facing the amber side, and at the same time moved her huge head to the side, the friction between the scales and the steel made a sound like a metal impact: "Hey, stay away, the crumbs are all gone!" It popped into my eye!"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Amber quickly took half a step back, clapping her hands while swallowing the cake in her mouth, while Melita opened her eyes, looked in the direction of the rest of the team and said, "Hey , have you seen Gao Wen? I don’t seem to have seen him since just now..."

"He just went into that passage, and said he wanted to check the situation inside the spaceship again," Amber slapped her hands clean, then rubbed her clothes casually, then turned her head to look at the gate leading to the passage inside the ship, "He still didn't let me follow, but I still decided to sneak up and take a look after I was full - he obviously had something on his mind, and he was acting alone, so I was worried."

While talking, she shook her head with a rather helpless expression: "Everyone looks preoccupied, so does Modil, and so does Victoria, and even Se'er on Kamel doesn't look right, That is, I don't quite understand your expression...but I think you must have something on your mind. Looking at it now, there is no change between Daniel and his female apprentice. The former looks like the sky will never fall, and the latter looks like The sky keeps falling..."

Melita raised her eyelids and looked at her. Being stared at by such a huge eye, even the nervous Amber suddenly felt hairy all over, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you staring at me like this? My face Is there any scum on it?"

"You seem to be the most carefree person among the people around Gawain, but in fact you are one of the most sensitive and careful people I know in Loren..." There seemed to be a smile in Melita's tone , "You are always observing everyone and every detail around you, but most of the time you are pretending to be doing nothing, making yourself look like the least useful one."

Amber froze for a moment, waved her hands indifferently, turned around and walked towards the passage gate while muttering casually: "The slum survival code, this is called the survival code..."

Melita watched Amber drifting away with one eye, and finally slowly retracted her gaze. Near her tail, Modil was walking to a secluded place, looking at the spaceship outside the shield with some ecstasy. The chaotic dark mass that keeps passing by looks like it is in a daze.

Victoria came to Mordir's side. She looked at the old man in front of her with some worry, hesitated and finally said: "Ancestor, are you worried about the time you have left?"

"... I have experienced an adventure like no other before," Mordir said suddenly, "on this ship, what I have seen surpasses anything I have seen before, these mysteries unknown to anyone before, these almost unknown Forgotten things... I think I should be satisfied, Victoria, I have come this far, and even lived six hundred years-I can't be too greedy."

"...you can't give up yet," Victoria said immediately, "Amber has a way to temporarily stabilize your situation, and during this period we can slowly find a solution, we can go to find Lady Ye's kingdom of God, to find you are divided The other half of the body and soul, this is not unimaginable - we even defeated the God of War, reached the deep sea, and found the legacy left by the sailors, ancestors, even if you don't rely on gods, mortals can create miracles... "

"I've always believed in miracles," Modil laughed, with a look of indifference on his face that surprised Victoria, "I didn't give up, Victoria, don't get me wrong, I just have no regrets about any ending, But if there is a chance of survival, of course I am very happy-under normal circumstances, who would take the initiative to seek death?"

Victoria was a little embarrassed for a while: "Uh...that's good, I thought..."

Modil just looked at the lady in front of him who was theoretically his descendant but was actually a stranger not long ago with a smile, and suddenly asked curiously: "Do you care about my affairs? Victoria, I may be a bit blunt, but until not long ago, you and I didn’t know each other. We were strangers at first, and the only thing that connects you and me is a blood that has spanned six centuries and has been very thin... You have people who are closer to you, and people who are more familiar to you, but I...should not be that close to you."

Victoria glanced at the old man in front of her in surprise. She didn't seem to expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk about this somewhat delicate topic, but after a moment of silence, she broke the silence with a soft voice: "You are right, since Theoretically... there is no deep relationship between me and you. For a long time, you were just a story that was passed down in the family records to me. Now that you have walked out of the story, And you yourself are far from what I imagined... Indeed, I can't treat you as a kind and familiar elder, although I know I should do so..."

"Then how do you see me?" Modil asked curiously.

Victoria thought about it carefully, and finally said after a long time: "A great person, this great person used to be far away, but now he is close by - I am trying to understand your affairs, maybe just like Hetty and Rebecca back then Like that."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Modil who seemed to be thinking, and asked again: "Do you have any plans after you go back?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet—Miss Amber has helped me temporarily stabilize the situation, but if there is no accident, I should only have about a year to arrange the rest of my life. I have been thinking about whether to use this year Complete the last adventure in this life, go to a place as far away as possible, and witness some more bizarre things, but just now, when I was looking at you... I had another idea."

"Another idea?" Victoria asked curiously.

"...I have traveled the whole world, perhaps more than once, and although some things have faded from my memory, I still have vague impressions of many places in the world, but one... I am very strange, It's so strange that I don't even remember where it is," Modil suddenly looked into Victoria's eyes, and said in a very serious tone, "I want to go there and have a look."

"Which place are you talking about?"

"Take me home and have a look," Modil said slowly, "Perhaps the last 'adventure' of my life is to go back to the hometown that I have completely forgotten-Victoria, which is in the mountains ,Is it?"

"Yes," Victoria's face with little change of expression seemed to come alive, she met Mordir's sight, recalling the place where she was born and raised, "There is a beautiful castle there, the highest in the north. It's cold most of the time, only a little warm in the room with a fireplace, but the view is good, you can see the snow-covered mountains in the north, and you can see the white courtyard and the prosperity below It is not as advanced and new as North Port, but in the streets and alleys, you can see the ups and downs of the Wilder family for six hundred years after you left."

"Oh, that sounds good," laughed Mordir Wilder, "I should really check it out."

...

In the vast desert covered by gray-white fine sand, the majestic throne stood among the ruins of a collapsed altar. The mountain-like figure on the throne lowered its head slightly, staring at a small stone pillar at her feet, watching the An ancient tome on top of a stone pillar.

"Oh, you're awake, great adventurer," Ms. Ye's majestic voice resounded between heaven and earth, "Did you have a good dream?"

"That's right," the old man's voice came from the big black book at the top of the stone pillar. There was still a trace of confusion in the voice that had just woken up from a dream, "I haven't had such a dream for a long time..."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that I was packing my bags and embarking on the road back to my hometown," Wilder said in a low voice, in this barren and empty sand sea, his voice whispered to the only listener, "It seems that I have not back home..."

"...Yes, great adventurer, home is a very distant concept, do you want to go back?"

"Probably, I think I should have this idea, but I'm not sure if it's my idea..."
