Sword of Daybreaker

The sound of a certain mechanical locking device was heard from the depths of the earth, and the self-operating spacecraft was docked with the self-operating home port. After the two pieces of steel were connected together, everyone heard the ancient spacecraft under their feet. The low buzzing sound gradually weakened—it seemed that the ship’s system had turned into a sleep mode and began to receive supplies and inspections from its home port.

After putting down the "passengers" on her back, Melita returned to a human form in a light curtain. She looked a hundred meters away from the front-there was the original spacecraft edge, but now it is connected to the port of the home port. Together, the spaceship shield at the corresponding position has also been integrated with the shield of the homeport itself. At this moment, there is a clear road in front of her, and she can walk directly to the "homeport" that is almost like an artificial continent.

"Shall we land and take a look now?" She turned to look to the side of Gao Wen, "It's just that we don't know how long this spacecraft will stay here, in case the ship suddenly leaves during our landing exploration... "

"It will stay for at least twelve hours." Gawain shook his head slightly before Melita finished speaking. He looked up at the place where the spacecraft and the port were connected, and a huge holographic projection was lying across the deck and the connecting port. In the meantime, there was a line of beating and flashing characters on the projection. Others could not understand the thing, but he could see clearly that it was the progress of the spacecraft receiving engine calibration and shield charging at the port. The system has been damaged, but just as the lighting facilities everywhere are still operating normally, some of the basic functions of the "homeport" are still operating normally-although it seems that they are all affected to varying degrees.

Everyone in the team has become accustomed to Gawain’s “knowledge” of the legacy of these sailors, so there is no doubt at this moment. After knowing that there are twelve hours of action time, everyone immediately stopped delaying their efforts and followed Shang Gaowen walked towards the amazing "home port" in the distance.

Huge dry branches, broken vines, and leaves almost the size of a roof are scattered around them, and the "reincarnation giant tree" that is larger than a city is leaning and covering the distant port facilities, and the leaves have been lost. , The tree canopy with empty and broken branches is like an intertwined and fierce iron curtain sky. Just looking at it gives people a huge shock and a sense of oppression-everyone's eyes can not help but look up at the canopy that covers the entire harbor Mary, the courageous and softest in the team, even trembled a little, until Daniel could not see it and released a high-level soothing technique for his apprentice, and the poor female mage finally calmed down.

Gao Wen was also looking up at the canopy of the giant tree of reincarnation, looking at the dry branches that faintly intertwined into a giant city. He imagined the process of this kingdom of God hitting the legacy of the sailor, and sighed that Amone back then That feat—but no matter what, this majestic tree of divinity died after all, withered in the silent ruins deep in the darkness, fragments of the remains scattered everywhere, regardless of the pollution of the tide or something else …Has nothing to do with this dead tree.

"Looks like the Kingdom of God of War, the'reincarnation giant tree' is not polluting to us," said Carmel, who was floating near Gawain, suddenly, raising his arm to the side and directing the energy-shaping hand to dry some. The fragments of the plants were collected and placed in a small box floating behind him, ready to be recovered as samples. "I just don’t know if these things will'dissipate' like things from the God of War after entering the real world..."

"Amorn has been out of the position of God for more than three thousand years. Although he was not as thorough as the God of War at first, but after such a long time, the divine influence he left behind should also dissipate," Gawain said casually, "and even if he The divinity in his body has not dissipated cleanly, and his kingdom of God is unlikely to have any spiritual pollution left-here are the relics left by the sailors, and the relics of the gods that fall on it will be purified in a moment. "Safe and harmless." '."

"Is it'purified'..." Melita looked around thoughtfully, "Perhaps this giant tree of reincarnation died of'rejection' in the process of being purified-look at those huge vines, they Some of them tended to entangle surrounding facilities, but they withered and died during the entanglement process. This shows that this tree was alive at least when it hit this place, but it was a pity that it was struggling with the power of the sailor. I haven't been able to struggle for long."

Gao Wen did not speak, his gaze fell on a high alloy tower on the edge of the harbor, where withered and dead vines were entwined, but in the depths of the pile of debris, there were tiny leaves and flowers growing out, where withered and dead. The place stubbornly reveals some of their vitality—and these tiny plants are all over the remains of the giant tree further away.

They even faintly formed a small ecosystem.

Modil also became interested in these plants that grew out of the remains of giant trees. As an adventurer, his instinct made him ignore the weird and oppressive environment here. He came to those huge plant remains and climbed up to wither. His branches and ayahuasca carefully observed the vegetation growing inside, and said to others: "These things are not like our'earthly' plants, but other than that, there seems to be nothing special..."

"It looks like just some ordinary flowers and bushes, they breed from the remains of the divine death, but they are just mortal things," Melita also observed the vegetation growing from the remains of the giant reincarnation tree. She came to the conclusion, "The giant tree of reincarnation is also a'tree' in nature. After it fades away from the divine death, it will also retain a huge amount of nutrients. These nutrients are enough for it to grow new'offspring' from the corpse. , And even continue to maintain a small-scale ecosystem... But now that three thousand years have passed, I don’t know how long the life in this corpse can continue."

No one can answer Merita’s question, and I am afraid that even Amone could not explain it in person. What they can do is to observe the surroundings as carefully as possible, keep recording the image data, collect as many samples as possible, and in the process Zhong followed in the footsteps of Gao Wen and continued to walk towards the depths of the harbor.

They arrived at the area covered by the canopy of giant trees, and the huge plant debris scattered around them reached a peak-countless roots, vines, branches and leaves, and dead wood fragments spread all over the steel ground, and even piled up into small hills and hills. In the gorge, some withered rattans hanging from the canopy are intertwined like a forest. The surface of the rattans is clinging to the new "progeny" green vines. Withered, death and new greenery are intertwined in an incredible way. Under this intertwined wonderland of life and death, there is another icy, hard steel land left by the sailors 1.8 million years ago.

Much of the original structure of the port facility was covered by the wreckage of giant reincarnation trees. Only some street light bulbs floating in the air were still running as usual, illuminating this supposedly dark "dense forest", led by Gao Wen 'S team is walking in this dense forest. Fortunately, every member of the team has a certain strength. The harsh environment here does not affect their footsteps.

Amber's figure is at the forefront of the team. Although the shame of this alliance has been expressing her terrible and terrifying attributes along the way, she has no ambiguity when she really uses herself. She acts with the most agile skill. The scout in front, the petite figure flickering among the light and shadow of the dense forest, kept bringing the information ahead back to Gao Wen.

Like a speeded up Euglena.

A slightly unreliable association flashed through his mind, and Gao Wen then threw these messy thoughts behind his head, and at this moment, Amber, who had gone to investigate the surrounding environment, suddenly ran back again, with a look on his face. As if seeing Rebecca learning flower arrangement, she exaggerated astonished expression.

"Hurry up and take a look!" This "half-elf" rushed over like a gust of wind, and his mouth crackled loudly Bibi, "There is something in front of...I thought I was wrong! On the open space in front of..."

Gawain, who was walking in the front of the team, was taken aback by the sudden exaggeration of Humber, and then he pulled this guy aside, speeding up his pace and walking forward and said casually: "Don't be so surprised. To the end..."

Before he finished his words, he had already crossed a dark brown withered vine that bulged like a wall. The vision blocked by the remains of the plant widened. The sight not far away came into view, blocking all the words he wanted to say back in his stomach. .

Footsteps sounded from behind, and everyone in the team caught up from behind. In an instant, Gawain heard several low exclamations and inhales—everyone looked at the piece not far away in astonishment. Open the ground, looking at the small wooden house standing quietly on the open ground.

A cabin!

"House?!" Even Daniel, who was squeezed the whole time, couldn't stretch it at this moment, staring at the simple hut in the distance.

The hut was obviously made from the surrounding materials. Although rough-processed wooden boards and rattans are not very beautiful, they are sturdy and durable. It is located in an open area among the remnants of giant trees in reincarnation, and the surroundings are just unobstructed. It seems to be to avoid the litter falling from the canopy of the giant tree from smashing the house, and between the twisted and stacked plant remains not far from the wooden house, you can see a large number of clusters of unmanned berry shrubs and Other bushes of invisible species are different from the randomly growing vegetation in other places nearby. Those bushes seem to have been carefully maintained. You can also see fallen and collapsed fences and crooked wooden posts around.

But all this seems to have been abandoned for many years.

"This is... a trace of someone living!" Victoria couldn't help breaking the silence. She looked at everything not far away in surprise, and then turned to look at her ancestor who was a great adventurer, "Ancestor, you …Ancestor? What happened to you?"

Modil stood beside Victoria. I don’t know when he was already a little sluggish. The old mage stared blankly at the hut in the distance and the scene near the hut. It took a long time before he finally heard Victoria’s call. He mumbled with a confused face on his forehead: "I...I don't know...I feel like I've been to this place before, but I forgot, I forgot something very important...I seem to..."

Modil's reaction made Gawain's heart move in an instant, and lightning-like associations popped up in his mind. At the same time, Amber, who was looking around and observing the surrounding environment, suddenly discovered something again, pulling his arm while shouting loudly. Said: "Hey! Look over there! Look at the distance! Those tower-like facilities and the connecting structure between them!"

Gawain blinked, looking slowly in the direction of Amber's fingers.

He saw that there was another wider open area at a distance from the hut. There were a large number of tower-like alloy facilities extending from the steel platform, pointing straight to the sky, and between those alloy “towers” ​​were there. The ingeniously arranged beams are connected to the vault, forming a large three-dimensional structure that looks like an antenna array and some kind of decorative dome. All of this is hidden by the remains of nearby plants, so that he immediately They were not found at all.

He stared in that direction for a long time before turning back his gaze and looking at Amber's eyes. The two looked at each other for two or three seconds, and finally said in unison: "A scene in the illusion of sand!"

That was the place where Amber's "phantom" extracted from the depths of Modil's memory was shown, and it was the place where Modil met the "Twin Elf".

It turned out that it was here, in the depths of the deep sea, in the "homeport" of the sailor, among the wreckage of the "reincarnation giant tree"!

Many clues finally quietly closed here, showing a scene of "answers" that everyone hadn't expected. Even Gawain himself was stunned in front of these dramatic closed clues, and his eyes slowly turned on. The small wooden house on the empty ground not far away, that simple and simple residence...At this moment, it seems to be the focus and core of everything, stirring the truth of the ancient times and the possibility of the future.

"Victoria, take care of Modil." Gawain turned his head and said to the "Duke of Ice and Snow", and then walked towards the quiet hut. Behind him, Amber followed without a word.

Gawain came to the hut. This simple residence only silenced him. There was no movement in the hut. It seemed that the former occupants here had been gone for a long time. He stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed the rough wooden door with " Although the wooden door made of "sacred wood remains" is a little mottled, it is still intact and strong.

He saw faint nicks on the wooden door. After brushing off the dust on the surface, he could see the contents of the nicks-not something earth-shattering, they were just some plants and animals drawn with simple strokes, and some Simple but vivid scenery.

Gawain took a breath and pushed the door open.

The scene in the cabin is greeted by the eyes, and the simple furnishings are unobstructed-two old and simple wooden beds, some wooden shelves and living utensils of the same wood, a low wooden table in the corner, and a few on the table. I don't know how many years the bouquet has withered.

Gawain's gaze swept across the room slowly.

He didn't see a living person, but he didn't see the bones either.

He only saw a pillar in the center of the wooden house with green vines winding along the pillar. At the end of the vine, two small pink flowers growing side by side were swaying slightly. Around the pillar, there were a few pieces of vine roots. Pieces of clothing that have been weathered and broken.
