Another world, afternoon, in an empty space in a nameless forest.
The hungry Lin Xue and I were waiting for Pandora to return from hunting.
After a short miserable howl, Pandora, who was in battle gear, dragged a wild beast that looked like a wild boar with curved horns out of the dense forest not far away. It seemed like the little fella had learned its lesson of running away with its food. Finally, the little fella did not want to waste any more time with its food, and chose a straightforward solution.
In terms of the qualifications to be used as food, a wild boar was obviously far more qualified than a dragon. At the very least, we didn't have to face a gigantic mountain of meat and feel like we didn't know where to start. Not to mention, it was unknown whether or not our fragile teeth would be able to win a melee battle against a piece of dragon meat that was invulnerable to swords and spears. Not to mention, by the time we finished roasting a dragon that weighed several dozen tons, we would have long since starved to death … Fine, I admit that the above was just a little self-consolation for not being able to eat dragon meat …
When Pandora placed the nameless beast in front of us, Lin Xue suddenly said: "Oh yeah, Chen Jun, do you know how to barbecue?"
"… I don't know, what about you?"
"I'm good at picking up Master Kang …"
"Pandora." I turned my head towards the little loli who was looking at the nameless beast with a hungry gaze.
"Ka ka", Pandora silently took out two two-meter long black cannons.
Do you want to barbecue in the forest like how you dealt with a dragon? Are you sure that completely carbonized food won't cost your brother his life?
Then, the three of us stared blankly at the food in front of us.
"Brother," Pandora pulled on my sleeve, "I'm hungry …"
Whatever, it's just barbecue! I don't believe that the great Emperor Schilling would be defeated by a dead pig!
"Pandora, help me cut this guy up." I said while rolling up my sleeves, "Leave the barbecue to me!"
It turns out that whether or not you are Emperor Schilling has nothing to do with your barbecue skills.
"Chen Jun, can this thing really be eaten?" Lin Xue expressed her serious doubts as she looked at the half-cooked art-barbecued meat that was as black as charcoal.
Pandora picked up a piece of meat without saying a word and took a big bite.
"It can be eaten." Pandora said with a tone of surprise, "Eating a small amount won't be fatal."
Damn … I'm being looked down on, I'm being looked down on subtly …
Even though the quality of the roasted meat was unimpressive, in order to prevent us from starving to death, we had to make do with it. In this accursed place, other than the various magical beasts and wild beasts, there were also tall trees that we didn't know the names of. If we didn't intend to eat the strange roasted meat, then we could only eat the leaves.
In a fierce mental and physical struggle, we finally finished the hellish meal.
"I'll never eat barbecue again …" Lin Xue, who could barely eat until she was half full, fell to the ground and let out a long sigh.
Actually, I was thinking the same thing …
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such a cute little sister is actually that kind of terrifying warrior …" Lin Xue saw Pandora obediently let me wipe off the oil stains on her face and couldn't help but sigh, "Pandora -Zero, is that her real name?"
"Yeah." I nodded, "What does this name remind you of?"
"… In that legend, Pandora opened the box and released all kinds of calamities into the world. Only hope was left at the end and wasn't released. Could it be that Pandora is really related to that legend?"
"Do you want to know Pandora's real identity?" I quietly looked at Lin Xue's eyes. Now that Lin Xue already knew a lot of things, it wouldn't matter if she knew more. It would also save her from being confused and letting her imagination run wild. Of course, I wouldn't tell her all the secrets.
Lin Xue was obviously interested in this question and hurriedly asked, "Can you really tell me?"
"If you can keep it a secret."
"I can keep it a secret!" Lin Xue said loudly. Then, as if she was afraid that I wouldn't believe her, she said, "I'm a high-ranking member of a supernatural organization. Don't worry about my ability to keep secrets! If I can't, I swear … "
"You don't need to swear." I waved my hand, "I'm just afraid that you can't accept it. Pandora is a general of the Empire!"
"General of the Empire?" Lin Xue was dumbfounded, "A little girl? Uh … She really can't be described as a little girl. Also, you said something like 'for the Empire' before … To be honest, Chen Jun, your explanation makes me even more confused. What do you mean by the Empire? I'm guessing it shouldn't be the Empire of this world? In the current human world, there definitely isn't any country that has a warrior like Pandora … "
"If I say it's an Alien Empire, would you believe me?"
Lin Xue stared into my eyes and saw that I wasn't lying. Finally, she shrugged and said, "Okay, I believe you … Originally, I thought the existence of supernatural beings was already sci-fi enough. I didn't expect that even aliens would appear. Moreover, they look exactly like humans … Wait, Chen Jun, you said that Pandora is an Alien General. Then what's your identity?"
I stood up and faced the sunset. With a solemn expression, I slowly said, "Actually, I'm the head of an ancient Empire …"
"Tsk — —" Lin Xue obviously didn't believe me, "It's already strange enough to say that Pandora is an Alien General. Now you're calling yourself the head of an Empire. Previously, in order to pull you and Pandora into the organization, I carefully investigated the two of you. Other than the sudden appearance of Pandora, we couldn't find her past, but I know your information like the back of my hand …"
"I received a communication signal," Pandora suddenly interrupted Lin Xue's words.
I asked in surprise, "Communication signal?"
Pandora's eyes had already turned ice blue. She concentrated on analyzing the signal from who knows where and replied, "It's a communication from Sicarro … We found the missing expedition team. They were trapped by the defense system in the ruins. When the Ethereal Beacon was activated, the defense system was destroyed, so they were able to escape. Currently, they are staying with Sicarro in the base of the Esper Group."
… Alright, the expedition team returned successfully, but we were unlucky enough to be thrown into another world.
Just as I was lamenting, Pandora said again, "I received a communication signal."
"Another communication signal?"
Pandora nodded and said, "It's from the Central Department 2 … It might be an unexpected noise mixed with the signal fluctuation from the communication with Sicarro."
The little loli is making a cameo appearance …
Just as Lin Xue and I were sweating, Pandora said again, "I received a communication signal."
Why are the signals coming one after another? Is Pandora a signal relay station?
"It's confirmed to be a distress signal." Pandora suddenly said something unexpected.
"Analyzing the source … Coordinates confirmed … Analyzing the identity of the distress signal … Schilling's combat unit, number unknown, authority limited … B-class battlefield emergency, suggested to provide support."
"You said that the distress signal is from a Schilling combat unit?!" I said in surprise.
Pandora nodded quietly, then asked, "Should we provide support?"
"Wait!" I said, "Are you sure it's the Empire's army? Didn't you say that the Empire's mother planet is only the one that I control? I don't remember sending troops out. "
Pandora replied, "The identity of the other party's Imperial Army can be confirmed, but we can't determine which army they are from. We can't rule out the existence of the Schilling's mother planet that woke up before us, but we can't get more information from them for unknown reasons."
Lin Xue was already confused by our conversation. Her gaze swept between us, then she asked, "What are you guys talking about? Is it an alien code? "
"Pandora just received a distress signal from the Imperial Army, but it's not my army. I'm still wondering if I should go or not."
Lin Xue's eyes widened, "… Chen Jun, you weren't joking when you said you were the Empire's Chancellor?"
"When have I ever lied?"
"When you first introduced me to Pandora!"
… I was instantly countered.
I didn't want to waste any more time with Lin Xue, so I turned to Pandora, who was quietly waiting for orders, and said, "Pandora, if the other party gets into a conflict with you, can you lead us to safety?"
"If all restrictions are removed, I can urgently deploy the Pandora military fortress, and I can fight against a medium-sized Schilling army. But brother, I don't think it's possible for the other party to attack us. Under any circumstances, a Shiring Apostle would never attack the Emperor. That would be a serious crime."
You might be right, but I'm a half-baked Schilling Emperor. What if the other party doesn't recognize me as the "person with the highest authority"?
After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to go and take a look.
Although the other party's origins were unknown, and I couldn't guarantee that my "Emperor's" authority would be effective, it wasn't my style to just leave it be. After all, no matter what, the other party was still Pandora's people.
"Let's go and provide reinforcements," I said.
Pandora nodded, then carried me and Lin Xue on her shoulders with ease. Since she wasn't tall enough, both Lin Xue and I had to put our feet on the ground, but it didn't matter. Once we picked up speed, our bodies would naturally be straightened …
Wait, that wasn't the crux of the problem, right? Why do I have to be transported by Pandora in this manner every time?! Can't I use a more handsome method to make an entrance?
Unfortunately, Pandora didn't give me any time to object.
And so, with Lin Xue's screams, the Pandora brand loli chariot sped away …
