Chapter 1357 "Sea"

The test was over, and all the personnel retreated to a "safe distance" from the silver-white metal pillar in the center of the hall. Byron was looking at the empty floor in front of him and lost in thought.

There seems to be an invisible boundary here. If you take a step forward, you will be deemed to have entered a certain "judgment area", and then the ancient system still running in this tower will conduct an "evaluation" on the intruder. Those who meet a screening mechanism will be warned and expelled, otherwise nothing will happen.

Out of rational considerations, Byron certainly did not let the soldiers take the risk to try what would happen if they ignored this warning and continued to move forward. The ethnic group was directly photographed by the black technology left by the voyager, and a group of mental retardation and a genetic disorder debuff were applied. When they ran out from here, they almost forgot how to drive the boat they were on. Of course, Lun would not bet on whether the soldiers he brought could resist the "security system" of the tower.

The results of the test are already very obvious. Except for the three sea monsters at the scene and Azalena who is a dragon descendant, everyone here does not meet the "screening criteria" of the voyager system, or the words mentioned in the warning In other words, it is called "out of bounds condition".

"What do you think?" Azarena's voice came from the side. The red-haired dragon-marked witch looked into Byron's eyes seriously, "What do you think is the problem?"

"...I suspect that the criterion for judging is race. Humans don't meet this standard, and neither did the original elves," Byron said in a muffled voice, "but the siren and the dragon descendants meet...or, the dragon race does. I I don't know the underlying reason."

Cassandra crawled over from the side, and the siren lady frowned slightly: "Then what is the difference between us? What are the 'characteristics' that must be distinguished between sea monsters, dragons, and humans in the eyes of the sailors?" Is it?"

"If you want to talk about the difference, the difference is big." Byron glanced at the siren lady. "There is no race in this world that is so different from your siren, and so is the dragon race—the difference between dragons and humans. The difference between humans is much greater than the difference between humans, elves, and dwarves, and your origins can all be traced back to 1.8 million years ago..."

"The criterion for judging is strength? The degree of evolution of the individual?" Cassandra thought seriously. Although most sea monsters give the impression of being reckless and humorous, in fact they are also a race that likes to think—— But most of the time, the direction of thinking makes foreigners feel confused, "Or do you judge by whether you have a tail? You see, I have a tail, and Azalena also has a tail after she becomes a dragon. Humans and elves there is no..."

"What do you think? If you think about it with your back molars and heels, you should know it's impossible." Byron looked at Cassandra with a strange expression, and just as he finished speaking, Azalena, who was standing beside her, He suddenly raised his head from his thoughts and broke the silence: "Have you noticed that the word 'crossing the line' was repeatedly mentioned in the warning just now?"

"I noticed," Byron nodded. "What did you think of?"

"...First of all, the evaluation standard of this system should not be our 'race' itself, because when the Voyager arrived, humans, elves and sea monsters did not appear on this planet at all, so its The judgment criterion should be a certain attribute that has nothing to do with race, and secondly, the word crossing the line...reminds me of many research projects of the Theocratic Council..."

She raised her head, her eyes fell on the metal cylinder not far away, and she continued thoughtfully: "Crossing the boundary, going beyond the realm you are currently in, and stepping into a new forbidden zone, in the realm related to gods, this is an important step." Vocabulary with special meaning, and the voice that appears directly in our minds... should be the corresponding words and sentences selected after the advanced equipment in this tower directly scanned our cognition and language system. The Voyager appeared on this planet, initially It is related to the loss of control of the gods,

Many of the things they left here are also more or less connected to the gods, which can be proved from the records of Tarrond and the clues discovered by the Alliance in the 'Gate' project not long ago..."

Byron's eyes became serious, and he had already vaguely guessed what Azarena wanted to say: "So you think the criterion for judging this tower is..."

"Whether the group of the approaching lifeforms is bound to the 'gods'?" Azalena nodded, and looked up at the sea monsters not far away, "Although humans have lifted some of the gods However, there is still a long way to go to get out of the predicament as a whole, but the sea monsters do not have this problem. They do not have a mind stamp, and the characteristics of elemental life make them not at all Will be affected by the trend of thought, and as for me..."

She shrugged, with a strange expression on her face: "The Dragon Clan has grown up—the Dragon Clan is also a Dragon Clan."

Byron opened his mouth and didn't speak for a while. It took several seconds for his eyes to react. His throat moved twice, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he admitted that Azarena's guess had a very high possibility. : "I'm afraid it's true..."

"I'm guessing this too," Azalena waved her hands, "In the end, we can't do further tests and long-term research, and this tower doesn't seem to be going to answer our further questions. , I just feel that... specially dealing with the legacy of the voyagers of the gods, the 'security measures' inside must have something to do with the gods..."

Cassandra was listening to the conversation between the two, her eyes flicked back and forth between Byron and Azalena several times, and then she said as if she suddenly remembered something: "Hey wait, I suddenly remembered something The thing is, you say that human beings are not 'qualified' because they are influenced by the gods, but Gawain Cecil climbed the tower of the voyager more than 700 years ago-it was given to him by one of my sisters How to explain the way he led? Isn’t he also a human being?”

The expression on Byron's face suddenly became weird when he said this. Frankly speaking, it is not appropriate to talk about the ruler of the empire in private, but the person who spoke at this moment can be said to be an "informed person" of the incident back then, and To be honest, he also suddenly became curious at this time, and couldn't help touching the stubble on his chin: "The tower that His Majesty climbed back then is not the one in front of us?"

Cassandra spread her hands: "It's not true, that tower is in the south of our kingdom, it should be far east from here - but the two towers look alike, and since they are both The 'assessment criteria' in the things left by the voyager should be similar, right? Especially this kind of thing related to the gods, you can't change a tower to get in through a loophole..."

Ms. Siren's words are very reasonable. This is indeed an inexplicable and objective fact-but there are many mysteries about Gawain Cecil's adventure trip seven hundred years ago, and many truths have disappeared in the In the long history, and he himself has no intention of digging out His Majesty's secrets, so he shook his head soon: "This is not something I should consider, and it will be fine to report everything that happened here later. The key is now we What to do..."

After his words fell, Azalena next to her thought for a while, and then took a step forward: "I want to go over and have a look. If our judgment is correct, this should be the way to the upper floor of the tower."

Byron was taken aback immediately: "Are you sure? This is..."

"Ms. Cassandra and I were not warned, were we?" Azalena turned her head and said, "As you said, we were extremely lucky to find this place, and we couldn't just leave in such a daze. The tower is not out of control like the tower of Tarrond. The Voyagers saved this planet 1.8 million years ago, and what they left behind should not harm us mortals under normal circumstances Race, think about it, the original elves ignored the warnings and forced their way into the tower, but they were expelled from the tower after being collectively deleted their memory and changed their form. The security system here is useless even with lethal weapons..."

While speaking, she raised her head and looked at the ring-shaped structure at the junction of the silver-white metal pillar and the roof, with a bit of longing in her eyes: "The Dragon Clan paid a great price to become such a I am the first race on this planet to pass the 'rite of passage' by itself, so I am able to stand here, pass the 'assessment' of the sailors and be qualified to take a step forward, I feel... this is like an invitation."

"But these 'assessment criteria' are basically your guesses," Byron knew that Azalena had already made a decision, but reminded him out of caution, "What's more, even if the situation is as you guessed, we will not Knowing if the tower is still working after 1.8 million years of operation, if it fails fatally, you're in danger."

"The safest place is lying on the bed at home, and the most stable way of life is to be a good girl waiting to inherit the family property - if I am such a timid and cautious person, you will have no chance to know me," Ashalei Na couldn't help laughing, and then waved her hands, "Don't worry, I'm still a dragon, but I'm not as easy to get hurt as you think."

Byron frowned and struggled for a long time, and finally he could only sigh helplessly and with a hint of frustration: "Well, I can't order you to stay here anyway."

"Then I'll go and have a look with you too!" Seeing this, Cassandra next to her immediately followed Azalena and walked two steps forward, "Both of us can go up together. It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

While talking, she turned her head and waved the tip of her tail to the other two sea monsters she brought: "You two stay here, I'm not sure how tall this tower is, in case the magic network terminal can't contact you after going up Come on, you can connect with me with psionic singing."

The heartless Siren is more willful than Miss Dragonborn when making decisions, and Byron has no better plan, so he has no choice but to approve the bold exploration of the two ladies.

After Azarena and Cassandra each brought the equipment and supplies needed for the exploration, Byron led the marines back to a further place, watching the two explorers walk towards the center of the hall.

When they came to the silver-white metal column, the identification system in the tower still did not issue any warning. Azalena looked up at the metal wall in front of her, but she couldn't find any similar operations anywhere. panel, she looked at her temporary teammate beside her: "What's your plan?"

"I don't know how to do it either," Cassandra thought for a while, pointing her tail up and probing towards the mysterious metal wall in front of her, "but according to experience, when encountering such incomprehensible things, just poke them... "

Before she finished speaking, the tip of her tail had already poked on the pure metal outer wall.

Layers of light spread like ripples in an instant. Before Azalena could complain about Cassandra's "sea monster exploration experience", she heard a slight buzzing sound from inside the metal wall. The next second, A large number of hexagonal shimmering grids suddenly appeared on the surface of the originally seamless metal wall, and the seemingly seamless metal separated, shrank, and retreated along the grid in the blink of an eye, revealing the open cylindrical shape inside. space.

A voice appeared in their minds: "The hatch is open, visitors, you are allowed to come forward."

"You can just tell me, just poke it." Cassandra suddenly turned her head and looked at Azalena proudly, "The simpler the method of using this kind of 'relic' left by the advanced civilization to the backward race, the easier it is." Well, unless they have no sincerity to use it for you..."

Azalena was speechless: "..."

After carefully checking the situation inside the suddenly opened door, and confirming that there was only a brightly lit cylindrical space inside, the two explorers finally stepped into it, and they turned back to Byron who was standing not far away. After someone beckoned, the low buzzing sound came again, and the silver-white metal wall closed again.

Azarena took a deep breath to calm down her nervousness. She knew that she was now "locked" inside a facility left by a super-advanced civilization, so... what will happen next?

As if in response to the thoughts in her mind, the synthesized voice sounded in her mind again——

"The inertial stabilizer is normal, the gravitational connection point responds normally, the upper traffic station responds normally, confirm the sky feedback signal... the feedback signal is normal.

"The traffic path is clear, the two visitors have been confirmed, and the inertial stabilizer is activated.

"The orbital module is going up—it's heading to the space station around the sky."

There was a sudden slight vibration under her feet, as if something had started, Azalena subconsciously grasped the circular handrail on the edge of the cylindrical space, but after the vibration, her feet returned to calm, the kind of acceleration that just appeared The feeling of rising only lasted for a very short moment before it seemed to be counteracted by some mysterious force. She glanced at Cassandra in astonishment, but only saw the siren lady looking around excitedly. Look, the tip of the tail is flapping on the floor at a very rapid rate.

Behavior is like a combination of cat and fish.

Azalena is still holding on to the handrail tightly, there is no more shaking inside, and she can't even feel the upward acceleration, but a low buzzing sound from around reminds her that this thing that looks like an elevator It was running, she couldn't see out, but she guessed she was being transported very fast to the upper floors of this tower.

Then, she started hearing voices in her head again:

"Crossed the top of the atmosphere checkpoint..."

"Passing through the balance point checkpoint..."

"The optical mask layer has been crossed, and the hidden section is entered, and the viewing wall is opened."

Azalena suddenly felt another shock, and then she heard a very slight mechanical device running, and the next second, she and Cassandra widened their eyes in shock at the same time.

Countless hexagonal streams of light quickly emerged from the "wall" around this cylindrical space, and the metal-like bulkhead became transparent in an instant!

Azalena noticed that this "elevator" was running at an alarming speed in a transparent pipeline.

Outside the tube, she saw a vast starry sky—stars more spectacular than all the stars she had seen in this life combined were all over the sight, and all of these were filled in a dark and deep cosmic space.

She watched all this in astonishment, and felt that her breathing and heartbeat stopped at the same time. She tightly grasped the handrail in her hand, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally fall into the boundless, dark and deep sea of ​​stars middle.

Inexplicably, she suddenly thought of a detail mentioned in the ancient legend:

——The ancient tower stands in a "sea of ​​eternal darkness", which is shrouded in eternal night, and the sea is full of stars...

"So...the Eternal Dark Sea refers to this..."
