Sword of Daybreaker

Amone stared at Milmina in front of him, but the latter quickly got rid of the embarrassment and looked at it with a surprisingly calm appearance: "Otherwise? When you are there in a daze, I will Busy checking those devices, if without my help, when would you be able to connect to the network?"

"You are changing the subject!" Of course, Amone would not be distracted by this level of interruption. He continued to stare at Milmina, "I will ask you what is meant by'high-speed buck'. I understand the need to enter the network A new name, but you should at least consult me ​​for this name..."

"Believe me, Armon, this name is not surprising in neural networks. In a place where everyone can give themselves a new name, only this unique title can be regarded as keeping up with the times. You are not always Do you want to keep up with this new era opened by mortals?" In the face of Ammon's dissatisfaction, Milmina laughed instead, "And thinking about it, this name actually fits your situation very well..."

   Seeing Amoen’s expression did not relax at all, she had to shook her head: “I can’t change it anyway.”

   "Can't it be changed?" Amone was taken aback, his brows frowned quickly, "Wait, what name did you name yourself?"

  Milmina put her arms around her chest proudly, and smiled stubbornly: "The Tower Witch."

   "...find a way to change my name immediately!"

  Milmina stretched her hands: "I said, this can't be changed... It's really impossible. You turn around and discuss it with Gao Wen. If you think this kind of trivial matter is worth so much fanfare."

Amone felt the corners of his mouth tremble, but he didn't know what to say for a while. After all, he was not a **** who is good at words. Especially after three thousand years of sealing alone, he faced Milmina with such a flexible mind and already The opponent of human awakening, he really can't take advantage of words.

And in the short second of his silence, Milmina had already taken two steps forward. She smiled and patted Ammon's shoulder lightly: "We have wasted too much in this place. Time to put aside those trivial things, old...Amorn, are you ready to see the incredible world that mortals have created?"

Amorn nodded subconsciously. In the next second, he suddenly felt that the light and shadow in front of him began to be confused, and the complex information came from the mental connection. A set of false senses was switched in the blink of an eye. He just wanted to say something. , I felt a blackness immediately before my eyes, and my sight became brighter.

There was a warm light on his face, a gentle wind blowing from a distance, fresh sounds and changing lights and shadows filled his side. He raised his head and saw a green oak tree standing in front of him, surrounded by a patch of oak tree. The open square is surrounded by beautiful pillars, and carefully trimmed shrubs are dotted between the pillars. Farther away, he saw row upon row of tall and beautiful houses, and neat and wide roads stretched out in the field of vision. Groups of pedestrians walked and stopped between these roads and facilities, each as if they were really living here in peace and tranquility.

And farther away, he saw a huge beam of light rising into the sky, connecting the high sky and pyramid-like buildings, and there were some faint dark shadows cruising above the sky, which seemed to be Managers on patrol.

The wind was blowing, with the fresh smell of flowers and plants, Amone took a deep breath subconsciously, and then blinked again. A real feeling came from the limbs. He took a step forward and stepped firmly on this step. On a level ground.

"Why don't you speak? The shock was too great?" Milmina's voice came from the side, and finally awakened him instantly, "Or to say that he finally arrived from that dark and chaotic place to a living'world', moved. Want to cry?"

"No... I just didn't expect... I didn't expect it to be so real," Amone said softly like a dream. "I remember many, many years ago, I imagined such a scene, but I never I don’t think all of this can be achieved. I’m standing here surrounded by mortals coming and going. I’m standing among them, and the whole world is running safely and smoothly...and a floral wind blowing from afar..."

"I can't realize your sigh in the second half, because I don't have the same experience as you, but when it comes to the'reality' of this world, I feel the same way," Milmina said with a chuckle, "this is The dream created by tens of thousands of human minds, and hundreds of'shapers' are carefully trimming all its details and filling any gaps in this dream. Of course it will be very real... In fact, The "realism" we have here will even exceed those of mortals who enter the Internet. Do you know why?"

  Amorn thought for a while, and realized something vaguely: "Because we are born in the depths of mortal thoughts..."

"Yes, when we got here, it was as if we were going home," Milmina said with a smile. "It's amazing, isn't it? We were born in thoughts, escaped from thoughts, and finally returned to thoughts through machines. From the perspective of a safe bystander, looking at these forces that once distorted us and imprisoned us, it looks so beautiful. It is completely different from the glamorous but gradually collapsed kingdom of God."

Amone calmed down. He finally broke free from the touch of this bright and warm world. Hearing what Milmina said, he subconsciously asked: "What should we do next? Where should we go? ?"

"Should? Nothing should be done. We are free. Amone can do what she wants to do." Milmina shook her head. "Think of this as a real resting place, walk around and watch. Look at the scenery, or meet a few people, and talk about some common topics. This dream city is the uppermost space of the neural network, a free distribution center, where ordinary people can experience another kind of life, or through certain Urban facilities participate in the construction of this space, or go to certain entertainment areas to experience some things that are difficult for them to experience... These are all okay, so can you.

"Don't worry that what you do here will accidentally destroy this delicate world. It is far stronger than you think, and there is a powerful'administrator' monitoring the operation of this space. Of course, I sincerely I hope you don’t really attract the attention of the administrator. The administrator... is harder than you think."

  Amorn listened carefully, and then suddenly reacted: "Are you not going to act with me?"

"Me? I'm going to look further afield," Milmina waved her hand. "I've been to this place once, but it was a hurried visit. There are many things I haven't had time to experience. And the distance of this city is very different from when I came last time, presumably the builders here have further extended its edge... I'm going to look over there. As for you, feel free to familiarize yourself with this Place, we will see you in the courtyard later."

"Hey, wait a minute..." Amorn yelled subconsciously, but before his words fell, he saw Milmina's figure quickly fade in the air, and within a second, the convenience disappeared completely. Up.

"...This is really just going." Amone sighed, but he knew that the other party had helped him a lot, so he could only shook his head helplessly, and walked along the square with the idea of ​​at least walking around. The gravel road on the edge walked slowly forward.

  A female voice that was still a little immature suddenly came from the side at this moment, causing Amone's footsteps to stop: "Old sir! Is this your first time in this world?"

Amone looked down in surprise in the direction of the sound, and then noticed that a little girl was sitting on a bench next to the bushes. Her appearance was as delicate and cute as a doll, and she looked only ten. Fifty or six years old, with long light brown hair draped behind her shoulders, with a few delicate bows tied at the ends of her hair, she was sitting there, wearing a beautiful white dress, her legs under the long skirt swaying briskly Going, while she looked up at this side again, those eyes were as clear as water, the clear blue sky was reflected in them, and Ammon's own slightly confused face.

"I... really came here for the first time," Amone said a little strangely. This was the first time he had talked with a "person" other than Mirmina after entering here, and a novel feeling lingered. He, "Are you?"

"You can call me Patty," the girl jumped off the bench, she landed lightly, with a happy smile on her face, "I am an old resident of'this world', in its previous version I'm here...but it wasn't what it looked like at that time. Ah, let alone this, do you need help? Old sir?"

Looking at this smiling girl, Amone couldn’t help showing a slight smile. This was the first time he had talked with a mortal in this way. This was with him and Gawain Cecil or Carmel or Bell. Any exchange between Setia is completely different: "How do you see that I need help?"

"My job is here to help travelers who enter the city of dreams for the first time. This square is one of the newcomers' gathering and distributing points in the city," Patty said with a grin. "You look like people who use neural networks for the first time, because You didn’t even hide your name. People usually don’t run around the city under your name, Mr. High-Speed ​​Bull."

Amoen was taken aback, and quickly looked up, and suddenly saw a row of gleaming letters floating above his head. The name of "High Speed ​​Buck" was shining there. Therefore, he bears such a name. Wandering around the square for a long time! ?

"It only needs a thought to hide it," the girl named Patty couldn't help but smile. "But you don't have to be depressed. Your name is very personal and recognizable, and it doesn't look so strange. . In this city, there are many more weird names than Zhengerbajing’s names. I see many people called “Ahhhhh” or “1111111” running around here every day. of."

Speaking of this, Patty couldn’t help but shook his head: “But then again, too many people randomly chose strange names when they entered the world because they were not familiar with the operation. Recently, users who applied to change their usernames There are more and more, and the computing center is discussing whether to open up this aspect of functions..."

   "Be sure to open up!" Amone immediately said with a serious face, the serious expression even startled Patty, "Please tell them, be open!"

"This...I just heard...well, after I go back, I will inquire about this with my mother. She probably knows something..." Patty waved her hands in a daze, and then she seemed to be suddenly Thinking of my "work", I quickly pointed to the beautiful columns on the edge of the square not far away and said, "By the way, sir, since you are entering this world for the first time, you might as well start by paying attention to the information flowing in the neural network. Have you noticed those pillars here? They are'ports'. There are such ports everywhere in this city. Some are pillars and some are floating crystals on the street. You can put your hand on it and you can see this What is happening in this city.

"Of course, you can also see the latest news left by people who are active in this city, and see the topics that everyone is eagerly discussing. In reality, everyone may live in all corners of the entire empire, and they will not be able to contact each other throughout their lives. And understanding, but here, the long-distance discussion connects everyone together. A topic can trigger discussion within the entire empire in an instant. If you are interested in them, you can enter the discussion called'Cecil Edition' place..."

Patty Barabara said that she was obviously very familiar with everything about this "world", but in fact what she said was a bit exaggerated about the scale and application scope of neural networks, and now it is far from reaching "over the entire empire" and " In the real world, only some large cities have achieved neural network access, and the number of immersion cabins and computing centers in almost all cities is seriously insufficient. The media familiar to the public is still the first Newspapers and magazines, then Monet broadcasts, and finally the neural network that is regarded as a "new thing in the big city", but Amorn didn't know the details.

  Even if he knew it, he would not care about it.

  He just came to the pillar closest to him with anticipation and novelty. After observing how the people next to him operate, he cautiously placed his hands on the pillar.

  A series of text interfaces with light blue gloom, auto-playing images and scrolling news briefs instantly flooded his vision.

Amone looked at everything in front of him in astonishment. After being cut from the mortal world for three thousand years, he once again felt the feeling of "contacting the whole world". He watched a living world running in front of him, countless Things are happening. Countless people are contacting and communicating in this invisible connection, and tens of thousands of minds are participating in it, as if countless nerve nodes in a huge brain are communicating with each other, and the undulating tide is brewing in the chaos. .

  Thoughts that can be observed, touched and controlled.

He only saw some interfaces here. What he was exposed to was only a part of the "displayable area" of this huge miracle. But at the moment of contact, his wisdom as a **** sensed the true meaning of these interfaces. Realized why Gawain Cecil had to pay such a high price to build such a network, and even introduced "dangerous factors" such as himself and Milmina into the network.
