Sword of Daybreaker

  The original intention of repairing the superluminal communication array was to restore contact with other immigrant ships that had been separated that year.

   However, even siren who are optimistic by nature, they know exactly how vague the odds are.

It’s been too long... It’s been too long since the fleet fled from the home planet and the immigrant ships lost contact with each other. The time has passed for too long and too long. The immortal sea monsters can hardly resist that long time, and the vast and dark universe will be there. Many things have been swallowed in these years.

Queen Pettia looked up at the antenna tower components that were slowly rotating at high altitude. She knew that these components had been silent for too long-the siren should fix these key systems earlier, but the rejection from the rules of the world made the sisters Too much time has been delayed on this weird planet, and when everyone can finally fully understand the world and perceive the ubiquitous "magic power"... the world has already gone through vicissitudes of life.

But the Krakens still put great enthusiasm in this matter, with great hope, they know how much time they have wasted, but they don’t care-they are slow but tough creatures, they I have long been used to doing a simple thing with a long time. Everything is just as the motto believed by the sea monsters says:

  As long as it starts, it’s not too late.

Besides...Although the antenna system failed to receive the signals from other immigrant ships as everyone expected, it brought unexpected gains. The re-operation of the receiving unit heard the sound of echoing among the stars. This universe is not It was as empty and desolate as everyone imagined at the beginning-and the most special of those voices seemed to be able to help the new allies of the siren to solve their problems.

  The maid Rosalia came to Petia and watched the direction of the communication antenna together with her queen. At almost the same time, a low and gentle buzzing sound came out of the central axis structure of the antenna array.

Petia squinted slightly, she saw that the sensitive structures floating in the air were quickly fine-tuning their respective positions and orientations, while bright arcs leaped densely between the antenna tower and the attachments, and quickly weaved them. Several circular "intercepting force fields", through the open "windows" near the base of the high tower, she could clearly see that many structures in this huge ancient system were lit up, and the reception that had just been repaired not long ago The units were operating at full power, and began to listen to the sounds from far away space——

  In the same time as expected, the signal from 6.12 light-years away visited the galaxy again.

Queen Petia stood quietly on the high platform on the deck, watching the deep-water technicians and deep-sea witches busy there-every time a signal comes, it is also a good time to calibrate the key systems of the antenna, here On a planet that is primitive and backward in all respects, a superluminal communication signal from a distance is a very rare "reference line" for technicians.

  I created a WeChat public account [Book Friends Base Camp] to send you year-end benefits! You can go and see!

Of course, the Krakens will also record the content of those signals by the way, and use the decoding methods provided by Cecil's allies to translate them into recognizable image information-Petia did not wait too long because of the signal. The content has been repeating in a loop, so she quickly got this new round of monitoring reports.

"...Nothing has changed," the deep-sea ruler shook his head with some interest when looking at the report chart that Rosalia had forwarded up. "Straight and easy geometric patterns, simple and basic mathematical operations, and who Weird text that I can’t read. This signal is just repeating the content."

"This may be a'greeting' that has been broadcast for hundreds of thousands of years. The Deep Sea Witches even suspected that this thing was released automatically and regularly," the maid Rosalia said on the side. "They also said that maybe only when When there is a response from the stars, the owner behind this signal will come to take a look at the situation."

"...The premise is that there is really a'master' behind this signal," Petia handed the report to Rosalia and said casually, "If a timing signal has been automatically issued for many years, then It's hard not to doubt whether the original publisher of this signal is still alive. After all, after so many years of observation...Most creatures in this world can't live as long as siren, and their civilization cycle is the same."

Rosalia stretched out her tail and curled the report form handed by the queen with the tip of her tail. At the same time, she continued: "Master Hathaway is still organizing people to decipher the text behind these signals, but the progress is slow, Siren There are no professionals in the field of text and cryptography. However, a group of naga recently heard about the situation here and volunteered to come to help. Maybe you can look forward to it..."

"Naga..." Petiya's silver-white eyebrows were raised slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, "It can be expected that they were once humans, and humans have always been more talented in the field of writing than siren... In short, no matter what progress has been made in this regard, just send it directly to Tyre. Our Cecil ally seems to be very concerned about this matter. There is a recent sentence on the human side to say... This is a smooth favor. .Well, good luck, I like this sentence, it’s rare for them to use water as a metaphor in such a vivid way."

The deep-sea ruler spoke unhurriedly, and meandered slowly towards the edge of Antavien. She stretched out on the edge of the deck and stretched her waist, her eyes falling in the direction of the sunny beach—sunshine. It has become brighter and brighter. The brilliance brought by the giant sun makes the beach shimmer at the end of the waves. Some Krakens who have just finished their evening work have found a comfortable position on the beach, and they dug out one. A sandpit is set up inside, waiting for the sun to become stronger, turning it over to dry.

In places farther away, the naga built towns on the open land slightly close to the inland area. Now they have begun to take shape. Towns and buildings rich in human style and mixed with various deep-sea elements are staggered and arranged. Those dark colors The roofs and gray-white walls of this land have never seen before in millions of years. There are tall towers standing in the middle of the town. The towers are decorated with winding octopus tentacles and shell patterns, and huge machinery with gloomy tones. The clock plate is surrounded by the deep-sea elements in the center of the top of the tower. A wet stone road extends from the town to the coast. At the end of the stone road is a small port and a stone ramp that extends directly into the sea.

  Except for the "Trench City" under the sea and the "Naga Block" of Antavien, nearly one-third of the people of the sons of the storm now live in that land town.

They are already relatives of the deep sea. The moist sea breeze and tidal force infiltrate their flesh and soul. However, the "remnants" belonging to humans made them choose to continue to live on land and build a new hybrid style. home.

Petia once visited that new town. It was an interesting place. All the streets there seemed to have the smell of the sea forever, and the moist ground and walls seemed to blur the boundary between land and sea. Totems symbolizing the creatures of the deep sea and runes of gloomy waves can be seen everywhere. The scaly deep-sea family members live in the houses with high ridges. During the day when the sun is strong, they rarely come out to move, but when night falls, those The sound of scales rubbing against the ground will be heard on the streets soaked with the smell of sea. Creatures with scales and snakes have emerged from their hiding places-running to the square in the center of the town to sell seafood barbecue and "deep sea specials". drink".

  There are often sea monsters who go to play in that town during their vacations, and spend a night in the night market run by the locals.

In Petia’s millions of years of memory, these are things that have never happened. The Krakens who have maintained a low-key and closed life for a long time have never changed so much because of "outsiders." Everything has happened, and... it seems that the people are quite happy with these new changes.

  "Some changes may not be a bad thing..." Queen Pettia muttered softly to herself during her thoughts.

Rosalia beside    asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, just talking to herself." Petiya waved her hand, turned around and was about to leave this place. As the ruler of the deep sea, she still has a lot to do today-but at this moment, a A tall sea monster with long sky-blue hair suddenly appeared in her sight, which stopped her movement.

   "General Vanessa," Petia nodded slightly to the blue-haired siren who came to him, "What happened?"

   "Your Majesty, I just received a contact from Tyre," the blue-haired siren known as General Vanessa lowered his head in front of Petia and said meticulously, "It's more urgent."

   "Tyre sent a call at this time? She can stay awake at this time?" Petia was a little surprised at first, and then nodded, "Go ahead, what's the situation."

"Our allies hope that we can help them monitor some...phenomena in the elemental realm," Vanessa said while recalling the content of the contact. "They seem to have discovered some disturbing phenomena... The energy system of the entire planet is called the'Dark Blue Netway', and now all kinds of abnormalities are appearing in this energy system..."

  She relayed the news from Tyre to her queen one by one, and emphasized the part about the dark blue network. Petia listened carefully, and her expression became a little serious.

"Dark Blue Netway... I have heard of similar concepts. It seems that a certain season of civilization has studied this thing before, but at that time we still couldn't perceive or understand what'magic power' was. Dark Blue Netway is for the sea monster. It's an'abnormal' thing that is invisible and intangible but exists," the deep-sea ruler said thoughtfully after Vanessa's narration, "The situation is different now..."

   "It sounds like this is serious," Rosalia looked at her queen, "Your wish is..."

"This matter is really serious. I would like to believe in the judgment of those human allies-they are more professional than us about the magic system of this planet, and they have no reason to deceive us in this matter," Petty Ya looked serious, "If this'power giant' that runs through the entire planet really has a problem, then we won't be safe."

"So..." Vanessa looked at Petia with a searching gaze, "Should we... send a scout team to take a look at the Water Elemental Realm? Or set up an outpost directly over there... "

"Sending a temporary reconnaissance team for such an important matter might not work," Petitialo thought and shook his head. "We need to build a long-term outpost, and we need to open a stable element on Antavien's side. aisle."

The master of the deep sea is actually a resolute and resolute person. Many things must be executed immediately after a decision is made. However, Vanessa and Rosalia couldn't help looking at each other after hearing the queen's decision, each showing a little embarrassment. Rosalia couldn’t help but said, “Your Majesty, do we need to confirm the situation with the humans? By the way, we should also make more preparations, such as with the lords of the water element domain. Say hello, make arrangements in advance and so on... After all, we didn’t get along well with them before. Even though everyone has signed an agreement and everything is fine,... things are still a bit sensitive."

"...That's right," Petia frowned slightly, feeling that her maid was very reasonable. "The fight with them before signing the agreement was pretty powerful. At this time, you can send someone to build a sentry without saying hello. It seems to be a bit impolite to stand...it was our fault in the first fight, so we should pay more attention at this time."

  Speaking of this, she paused, and looked up at her most trusted maid and most trusted military attache: "What advice do you have?"

   “It happened suddenly, and we don’t have much time to negotiate with the element lords slowly,” Vanessa said while thinking. “It’s best to express her intentions quickly and try our best to reduce the possibility of friction.”

   "How about... bring some souvenirs in the past?" Rosalia thought for a while, "Anyway, the etiquette is always right, at least this time I can't take the wrong one."

   "I think it's feasible," Petia immediately expressed his approval, "Elemental Lords also want to be reasonable, usually even if the reckless human mage summons them, they will not turn their faces as long as they have enough sacrifices..."

While talking, she began to think quickly, conceiving in her mind what kind of "souvenirs" could make those elemental lords who are tense and delicate with the sea monster quickly calm down, and she soon had inspiration. A confident smile appeared on the face of the master of the deep sea.

  "Vanessa, you go to prepare the elemental jumper, we will open a passage to the water elemental realm; Rosalia, you arrange a group of skilled excavators to go to the seabed and pick the big ones..."

   Rosalia quickly understood the Queen’s intentions, but her expression was a bit uncertain: "Your Majesty, is this all right..."

"I think it's okay," Petia nodded confidently. "Antawin's biggest souvenir is that thing-we will get one with the best taste and bring it to the Elemental Lords to taste. Ah, I personally Sending it over, it seems more sincere..."

  While talking, she waved her hands to the two subordinates in front of her, turned around and left the place on her own, leaving only the maid of the deep sea and the general siren staring at each other on the original ground.

  After a long time, Rosalia finally couldn’t help but said: "General Vanessa...Do you think this is feasible?"

   "... Your Majesty said that it is feasible," Vanessa spread her hand, "I can't think of a better idea anyway."
