Lin returned from the Dracon district around dinner time. When she appeared in front of us, she had a strange expression on her face.
"Hey, little lass, what's the matter?" Icetis leaned back on the chair and said to Lin with her usual hooligan demeanor. She was still biting on the piece of pork rib that she snatched from my bowl. With this eating manner, if she was thrown into a state banquet, she would definitely be the type of person who would need to erect a screen around her to prevent damaging the country's image. Especially when the latter half of her sentence was still like this: "Are you dissatisfied with those little fellows? Are the Dragons bullying their own kind or are the Draconians being too unreasonable? Listen to this big sister's advice, if you meet any ignorant children, in the name of God, beat them up. "
I felt that sooner or later, Icetis would also become the kind of person who wouldn't be able to go out and meet people without having her mouth censored …
"It's nothing, I'm going to eat first." Lin said weakly as she quickly moved to her seat. When Chestnut stood up to help her fill her bowl of rice, she seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts. This honest lady who usually didn't use her brain actually revealed such an expression, it was truly surprising. Half of the people at the table became interested and focused their attention on her. I couldn't help but ask, "Lin, what's wrong with you? It can't be that the Draconians really started fighting with that Yaksha right in front of you, right? "
I was just saying it casually, I knew that the probability of such a thing happening was basically zero. Not to mention the fact that Shakina and Sona had already shown Char that they possessed the Dragon Soul, he had already accepted the fact that the Draconians were a branch of the Dragon race. Furthermore, Guang Lin had previously used the form of the Dragon race's ancestor spirit to give a revelation to the Dragon race's royalty, so it was impossible for Char to cause any trouble. It was impossible for creatures like the dragons to ignore the orders given to them by the "ancestral spirits". As for the Draconians taking the initiative to cause trouble, that was even more impossible. If one were to ask who was the most honest race on this continent, the Draconians wouldn't be ranked first, but they definitely wouldn't be in the top three either. This group of fellows with extraordinary strength were actually quite peaceful in nature. With Shakina and Sona looking after them, how could they take the initiative to start a fight with a Silver Dragon?
What's more, this was the first time the half-dragon race had a "compatriot" from the dragon race to communicate with them after enduring humiliation for so many years. They were so happy as if they were celebrating a festival.
It was impossible for the situation to be related to Char and the dracon, but Lin didn't seem to have any intention to speak up for the time being. Facing our concerned questions, the Dragon God girl weakly said, "Wait a moment, I still need to organize the information. The situation is a little messy, I need to sort it out."
"Alright, she'll tell you." Monina curled her lips and said while looking at me. "Lin has this temper. She's always like this when it comes to proper business. She's afraid of saying the wrong thing. Oh right, try this. It's a dish that I just came up with. Let's see if you can guess what it's made of. "
As Monina said that, she pushed a plate of colorful vegetables in front of me. Her face was filled with a flaunting expression. Every few days, she would come up with some fresh dishes and was used to letting Sandora and me taste them first. The reason was that we had a spirit maid who was the only one in history who could surpass her in terms of culinary skills. This caused Monina's Soul of the God of Cookery to burn brightly. As a result, she often needed to obtain the approval of the spirit maid master to increase her motivation. Recently, she already confirmed that the evaluation she got from Sandora was worthless. (For Sandora, there doesn't seem to be anything that tastes bad in this world. Her Majesty the Queen's sense of taste is as regal as her identity.) Thus, she threw all the weird things she came up with to me to judge.
However, I was quite happy to be the judge. No matter how I looked at it, Monina's culinary skills were indeed powerful. Although she couldn't compare to Anveena's unscientific spirit maid, she was still a world-class cook. How should I put it, when she cooks … she often comes up with all kinds of wonderful ideas. For example, this plate of red and green stuff in front of me.
"This green one tastes like a carrot, and it's made of tomatoes. This red one tastes like a cucumber, and it's made of potatoes." Mo Nina happily pointed at the strange-tasting vegetable platter and revealed the mystery.
"…" This girl, are you trying to unravel the secret of how Anveena used the isolation block to stir up the Yangzhou fried rice?
What kind of worthless culinary skill is this!
At this moment, a resentful gaze suddenly came from not far away. I raised my head and saw that it was Elson looking in my direction. He muttered, "In the past, when I made good food, it was always for my brother to eat first, for my brother to eat first …"
Is this the power of a sis-con?
"Hey," When dinner was almost over, Lin finally opened her mouth. Using her usual weak voice, she said, "Do you guys think that the vassal races of the Xiling Empire will rebel?"
It would have been fine if the Dragon God girl hadn't spoken. The moment she spoke, it was a heavy bomb. When her voice fell, the entire dining table instantly fell silent. Monina was stunned for a moment. She reached out to touch Lin's head, "What weird thing did you pick up on the road and eat? Why did you suddenly say that? "
"The vassal races will rebel against the Empire?" I felt that this topic was really strange. Then, I couldn't help but think of that stubborn uncle Tychus and the heroes of Azeroth who checked in at the military headquarters every day. It felt even stranger. "I can't imagine it. What reason would they have to betray? Not to mention whether they have the ability to do so, even if they did successfully betray, what benefits would they get? "
"You don't have to worry about the vassal races of the new Empire, but what about the vassal races that were left behind after the collapse of the old Empire?" Lin blinked and looked at us as she spoke. Instantly, the dining table quieted down again. "I was born after the old Empire went into hibernation. Because I was young, I only heard about the old Empire from my seniors. I don't know much about it, so I'm just guessing —"
"If it's the old Empire …" This time, even Sandora could only pout. "Even if there were survivors after the great calamity, now that tens of thousands of years have passed, it would be really hard to guarantee the loyalty of those normal races. Moreover, to be honest, the way the old Empire did things did seem a little … Ahem, Lin, what are you trying to say?"
"I used the identity of an ancestor to enter the spiritual world of that Silver Dragon." Lin shrunk her neck. "Originally, I just wanted to know what kind of race the dragons are in this world, but I saw many things that might be related to the old Empire … Those dragons should be living near a ruin of the old Empire. And that ruin … has been looted clean. "
"A ruin of the old Empire that has been looted clean, huh?" Sandora's expression didn't change much. "That doesn't mean anything. The ruins of the old Empire have been preserved until now, so the number of ruins that have been excavated by normal races is definitely not small. This is unavoidable."
"But there is something else in the legends of the dragon race, it's related to the ruin." Lin looked at our expressions as though she was afraid of getting beaten up. Her expression made Icetis and I roll our eyes. I thought to myself, It's not unreasonable for her to be bullied for ten thousand years. Just look at her bunny-like style, I would feel that I'm letting down the laws of nature if she doesn't bully me at least once or twice! Thus, Monina decisively knocked Lin's head with her chopsticks and the latter finally got her wish (?). "There is a legend in Char's memories. It is said that the dragon race lived together with the Gods in ancient times. The Gods lived on one planet in the God World, while the servants of the Gods lived on another planet. One day, an unknown disaster occurred. The Gods were furious and tore the world into pieces. They gathered their armies and left their planet to conquer the other world. The dragon race was spared from destruction due to the Gods' mercy. They were pardoned and allowed to continue living in the largest piece of the world, which is where the current Giant Dragon Kingdom is located. The Gods' expedition never returned and the world was turned upside down. This lasted for a hundred years. Then, the servants of the Gods suddenly appeared. They were the servants of the Gods who lived on the other planet before the world was torn apart. They followed the Gods on their expedition but turned back midway and somehow found the key to the God World. They shut down the defense network of the ruin and stole everything from the ruin before leaving this world. "
Lin's storytelling level wasn't that high, but it was enough for us to understand the entire story. After the Dragon God finished her story, she looked at our reactions in a daze. After a few seconds, she lowered her head and continued eating.
"Things … are getting a little interesting." Sandora put down the remaining half of her chopsticks. Her expression was subtle. She thought for a while and summarized the known information. "The Gods in the dragon race's legend can only be the Shiring Apostles of the 15th Heaven. In other words, after the disaster, the Apostles of the 15th Heaven tore apart their capital world and gathered all the armies to carry out the last expedition … This expedition was probably to support the hinterland of the Empire. At that time, the Dragon Gods attached to the 15th Heaven followed the army to the expedition, but they escaped midway … If I guessed correctly, the Empire's expedition army should have been completely destroyed by the abyss at that time. The group of deserters had amazing escaping skills. Then, they looted a part of the Empire's inheritance … This is really unexpected. "
"Maybe there are other possibilities," the elder sister thought. "Maybe they were ordered to retreat from the battlefield and take the last inheritance of the Empire with them to preserve? If it was to preserve the flame, this kind of behavior is also conceivable. "
The elder sister's guess wasn't unreasonable. Sandora nodded in agreement. "We should consider it thoroughly, but we have to prepare for the worst. If that's the case, I'm afraid we have to go to the Giant Dragon Kingdom. Do they live in the Lost World? "
Lin bit her chopsticks and nodded. "Yes, the Giant Dragons don't live on the mother continent. They were originally residents of the Lost World. They have always been isolated from the world. They are a group of … children who like to enjoy themselves."
"The natives of the Lost World, and they live around the Empire's ruins. They also know about the time when the Shiring Apostles were still in this world." Lin Xue suddenly knocked on the table and seemed to have thought of something. "If that's the case, they were originally living on the mother planet?! And they have lived since the era of the Old Empire. They have experienced the great disaster and the time when the mother planet was split! They know everything! "
When Shallow shallow heard that, she suddenly stood up and walked to her room. I quickly pulled her back. "Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm packing my things and preparing to go to the Giant Dragon Kingdom," Shallow shallow replied matter-of-factly. "I want to find out what happened here back then. Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to sleep. There are so many secrets. My heart is itching!"
"Sit down, sit down. Why are you in such a hurry?" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I pressed the activist down on the chair. "Even if we want to go, we should wait until tomorrow. We just explored the Sky Tower for a whole day, alright? " After temporarily suppressing Shallow shallow, my gaze stopped on Pandora and Alaya. I said solemnly, "Alright, there are many problems to solve now. We all know about the Fifteenth Heaven of the Old Empire. That was where Pandora and the others served. I inherited the Fifteenth Heaven. "
The moment I said that, everyone in the room became solemn. Even the simple-minded Shallow shallow knew that the crux of the problem had come.
"If Lin's information is correct — and it should be, after all, the Dragon race wouldn't have made up such an exquisite story, nor would they lie to the spirits of their ancestors. In other words, when the Old Empire collapsed, the entire military force of the Fifteenth Heaven went on an expedition. Pandora, you are the general of the Heaven. Did you experience the war? "
Pandora shook her head with a blank expression. Alaya interrupted, "We don't have any impression of this world. I don't remember any native creatures like the Dragon race on the original mother planet. Also, the Sky Tower and those lost worlds, I can't remember anything. "
Lin Xue was lying on the table, rolling an empty glass cup around. She looked bored to death. Suddenly, she said, "Wait! I just thought of a problem that we have all neglected! "
After successfully attracting everyone's attention, Lin Xue knocked on the table and said, "Blockhead was recognized as the new ruler of the Fifteenth Heaven when the NT authority was blank. In other words, the original Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven is either dead, or infected by the Abyss and turned into a Fallen Apostle. In any case, he has been removed from the mental network of the Shiring Apostles. But … his mother planet still exists. Pandora and the others have been preserved. Based on the current situation, it seems that apart from the majority of the original Fifteenth Heaven's mystical forces that have been separated from this world for some unknown reason, almost all of the technological aspects have been preserved. Isn't this abnormal? Where did the original ruler of the Fifteenth Heaven go? "
"Are we going to bombard the scene tonight?" I slapped my forehead, feeling that the situation was getting more and more troublesome. Lin Xue's question was really sharp, but it wasn't that I hadn't thought about it. In fact, a long time ago, when I was learning about the situation of the old Empire with Pandora, I had mentioned this matter. No matter what, I had basically inherited all the assets of the previous Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven. As someone who had obtained everything out of thin air, as long as I wasn't a heartless person, it was impossible for me not to be curious about the original owner of everything, right? But …
"I don't know." Pandora's answer was simple and to the point. It was the same answer she gave when I first asked her this question. Even her tone didn't change at all.
"Pandora and Alaya don't have any memories of the previous Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven. In fact, the memories of all the Apostles of the New Empire don't have any memories of the previous Emperor," I explained. "I discovered this problem a long time ago. As long as something came out of the Fifteenth Heaven, there would be no information related to the previous Emperor. There's no way to explain this situation. It has always been believed that the Emperor's long slumber caused the database to go missing, or … how should I put it, after discussing it with God Father, God Father also came up with a hypothesis. After a Void Creature was accepted as the new leader, the information of the previous Emperor was forcefully erased. " I felt rather awkward when I mentioned the second possibility. Even though it was only a hypothesis without any source, it was enough to make me feel that it wasn't right.
Alaya and Pandora were still in a daze. When we started talking about the previous ruler of the Fifteenth Heaven, the two of them didn't feel anything at all. Under normal circumstances, for a Shiring Apostles, the position of the leader of the Empire was supreme, but this was an abnormal situation: they didn't even know the name of their previous Emperor.
"Is that really the case?" Sandora's eyes widened. She had never heard of such information before. After all, it seemed to be something of a sad past. Since Pandora didn't take the initiative to bring it up, she obviously didn't ask. "The long slumber caused all the information related to the Emperor to be erased from all the storage devices in the entire Heaven? Do you think that's possible? "
"Sigh, of course it's impossible." I sighed and gently stroked Pandora's head. She leaned towards me expressionlessly, as if she didn't care about what was happening around her. "That's why there's a second hypothesis. If it's related to the Void Creature, it can explain almost everything. Not to mention, this matter itself is related to 'information'."
"I don't think it's as simple as the Emperor's information being erased from the database." Sandora suddenly pressed her hand against her forehead. Golden light began to wander through her hair. "I remember a detail … I've heard of the Fifteenth Heaven, and I've also heard of the name Pandora before I met you."
Shallow Shallow came to a sudden realization. "Oh, right, Sandora was the Emperor during the era of the old Empire. Although she didn't communicate with the other Heavens very often, but you really did say that you've heard of Pandora."
"Yes, I've heard of Pandora and the Fifteenth Heaven, but I've never heard of the Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven." Sandora's energy was already approaching a battle-ready state, but it was still increasing. She seemed to be trying to use all of her thinking modules to break through some 'shackles'. "Blank, completely blank. The information on the Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven is blank. More than 80% of the Fifteenth Heaven's mystical knowledge is blank. It's not that I haven't heard of it, but … I don't think I've heard of it."
"Damn it, the situation might be complicated." Icetis suddenly cursed. "I just contacted the Pantheon in the Realm of Gods. The Book Collection Tower, which is responsible for recording information, has no records on the Fifteenth Heaven of the old Empire. Among all the information related to the Xiling Empire, only the information on the Emperor is blank. Do you know what the Book Collection Tower said?"
Icetis paused for a few seconds before saying word by word, "The Fifteenth Heaven of the old Empire, there's no Emperor!"
