The recovery of Mercury Lamp's body was a matter of urgency. A series of orders from the highest level of the Empire made the rulers of the various worlds under our control feel that something was amiss. The most outstanding and powerful alchemists were practically kicked into the Teleportation Portal by their anxious Majesty. At the same time, under the operation of the Space Administration, experts and scholars from other worlds (Most of them were transmigrators who had just returned, and some of them were recently recruited into the organization … Ugh, why does this statement sound so strange) were also assembled within two days. Many passionate people who couldn't make it to the scene or whose specialties didn't match also formed long-distance support groups and cheering squads, such as "Mercury Lamp Go – Bi Yang Academy Cheering Squad", "Malfa Continent Cheering Squad", "128 Warriors Cheering Squad of Elysium Sect" and so on. The newly established "Macro World" network became a mess within forty-eight hours. The spirit of gossip that erupted from the bored masses when they participated in such activities was always so explosive. Sandora couldn't help but sigh. If they used this passion to sacrifice their lives for the country, the worlds would have long been unified …
80% of the people were creating trouble, and the remaining 20% were creating trouble. This was the situation that Lin Xue concluded.
In any case, I didn't expect that Mercury Lamp's popularity among the transmigrators would reach such a terrifying degree. She had already become an existence akin to a spiritual idol. Later, after my sister reminded me, I finally understood. Always sitting on the shoulders of the Empire's Head, appearing in all sorts of public places with the latter, the Mercury Lamp, who was suspected to be a doll used for entertainment, was equivalent to a mascot in the eyes of the transmigrators. The bored masses always had one thing in common, and that was that they would easily give their excess love to these kinds of inexplicable existences, such as the Head's doll.
A bunch of ordinary people who have been deceived by false appearances. You have never been beaten into a feather duster by Mercury Lamp's metal storm. When that little girl finds out that you have treated her as a mascot, all of you will drown in a sea of feather pillows!
However, the uproar outside and the overly enthusiastic support group were no longer able to disturb Mercury Lamp's rest. The little puppet whose body couldn't move but whose mind was still clear had already been lying in the shrine for almost two days. The severely bored little fellow could only eat and sleep every day. Even Rider expressed his sympathy — — this pitiful child couldn't even defeat a Spirit Douluo.
I no longer had to worry about Mercury Lamp's "illness" with the help of two divisions of alchemists. Actually, it was just that I had been too nervous when she suddenly collapsed. Now that I thought about it, I even had the Life Goddess as my subordinates, so why would I be nervous …?
"How much longer do I have to lie here …"
With half a piece of tangerine in her mouth, Mercury Lamp leaned on my leg and muttered. Her slightly pale face was filled with boredom and resentment. I was a little impressed by myself for being able to train the iceberg-like Mercury Lamp to this degree.
"In just two or three days, they have already started to study Rozen's alchemy method," I stuffed a piece of tangerine into Mercury Lamp's mouth, and then quickly pulled my hand back before she bit me, "Your dad may be an alchemy genius, but most of the people I gathered are better than him. When the time comes, you just need to choose the parts according to your personal preferences. You can trade for a waistline every day until the end of the world …"
"Crack — crack!"
"Damn! You even have the strength to bite people with myasthenia gravis? "
"When are you leaving?" Mercury Lamp muttered as he bit me hard. He lay back down weakly and muttered, "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning, or else Liliana is going to destroy the world."
Mercury Lamp's body needed two or three days to recover, and Liliana has been lost for more than a month. Logically speaking, more than a month has passed, so waiting another two or three days shouldn't be a problem, but I don't think I can wait that long. The sky is dark now, and it's like an uncontrollable EVA. Who knows when it will go berserk and turn the entire world into ketchup. I have to hurry and put the collar on that girl.
Yesterday at 2: 30 in the afternoon, Sives intercepted a signal that was suspected to be related to the Holy Temple Army. Other than a hoarse voice cursing at the top of his voice, there was also the sound of a cannon roar that lasted for three minutes. The only reason we determined that it was related to the Holy Temple Army was that it had been encrypted by the Imperial Army … This signal greatly strengthened my resolve to kidnap that little lunatic and bring her back.
Furthermore, there was another matter that was worth paying attention to. Although we found the world that Liliana was lost in, the information barrier on the periphery of that world was still firmly guarding the secrets within. Other than the occasional intercepted fragments of information, the connection between the Shadow Fortress and the Holy Temple Army was completely unable to be established. Such a strange world, and one that was naturally formed, naturally piqued our curiosity. Among them, Tawil was the most excited. After more than twenty Hyperspace Probes failed to return, this female researcher even had the thought of personally going to that world to take a look. On the other hand, whenever Lin Xue talked about that world, she would frown and meditate more than once. It was obvious that our Lord Half Fairy had "seen" something strange, but she couldn't tell everyone about it. All these reasons made me finally decide that no matter what happened over there, I had to go and take a look first.
At the very least, I had to retrieve the Apocalypse Envoy Liliana …
"Let's go, let's go. You're a big shot, and you still have your own empire to worry about!"
Just as I was thinking about all these random things, Mercury Lamp seemed to have thought of something and suddenly started throwing a tantrum, causing me to lightly pinch her somewhat stiff little face. "Don't worry, I won't never come back … er, I didn't mean to imply anything."
Hey, I was talking about Rozen. If you have the guts, bite me. You only have one tiger tooth left now!
Then I regretted it. She really did bite!
And she was currently a patient, so I was embarrassed to resist.
The bite lasted for less than three seconds. After all, Mercury Lamp was out of stamina, so she fell back to the ground. I patted her little head from time to time and said, "Don't worry, I won't abandon you. This is your home, and it will always be …"
My promise was powerful. Mercury Lamp had already been abandoned once. This time, she was determined to come back, but I had to go to war again after only a few days. It was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't have any unnecessary anxiety, such as being abandoned again. Although this anxiety was a bit unreasonable, I had to make her feel at ease. Also, with such a touching promise, the little guy's favorability towards me must have increased by a lot, right?
Thinking of this, I looked down and suddenly teared up.
After getting my promise, this little guy fell asleep peacefully.
You really eat, sleep, sleep, and eat!
In any case, in the end, Mercury Lamp was temporarily placed in the temple by us to wait. She was quite dissatisfied with this, but she could only listen obediently. Now, the only choice for the little puppet was to obediently cooperate with the treatment. When her body recovered, and there was no danger in the other world, maybe I would agree to let her go and join in the fun.
Shadow Realm Upper Division, Empire Starport Maintenance Area.
Sending off at the Starport — — At the beginning, this was considered an exciting thing for me. A warrior going to war, a beautiful wife sending him off, and some background music could give me the feeling of William Wallace. But now, setting off from the Starport to lead the army has become as common as going out to buy soy sauce. In fact, in the future, it will be even more common than going out to buy soy sauce. The oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar used at home are now all purchased by Poison Island Chestnut, who recently became a full-time maid.
By the way, that is a physical work. The seasoning that Sandora eats in a day is more than the dry rations of ordinary people …
"Sandora, aren't you going to join in the fun?"
I pressed my hand on Sandora's head and asked.
"The 'Macro World' network and the Space Administration are in the early stages of operation. I have to personally oversee them." In front of all the soldiers, it was another farewell party before the expedition. Sandora was now the smart and wise Queen. She only smiled at my intimate gesture. "Be careful on this trip. Although it is just a low-level realm that even Liliana can defeat, you still have to heed Lin Xue's warning."
I looked at Great Prophet Lin who was sharpening her nails. She grinned at me and said, "You can't say it, but you can't go wrong if you listen to me. Hey, this is for you."
As Lin Xue said that, she stuffed three small bags into my hands. "Open them three days later."
"What are these?" I weighed the bags in my hands. The craftsmanship was extremely rough. It was obvious that the three bags were personally made by a certain rich lady. "Brilliant plan?"
"I'm much stronger than that Zhu guy!" Lin Xue patted her chest proudly. I couldn't help but wonder if this lass had flattened it. "Something to guide you."
"Alright, alright." I flicked Lin Xue's forehead. "First, you want me to bring half of the New Eden Federation's servant army. Then, you come up with this brilliant plan. Can't you stop nagging all the time?"
Sandora, who was beside me, asked doubtfully, "The one who came up with the brilliant plan seems to have the surname Zhu, right?"
… I don't even know who is a product of Earth.
"Ah Jun, Ah Jun! Let's go! "
While I was discussing with Lin Xue whether Mr. Kong Ming's ancestors had the surname Zhu or Zhuge, I suddenly heard Shallow Shallow's excited voice from behind. I turned around and saw our Mistress dressed in hiking attire. She was dragging a humongous suitcase. Beside her was my elder sister, who was dressed in an elegant long dress. Alright, actually, my elder sister was only wearing a plain dress. The elegance of a rich lady was all accentuated by the silly lass beside her.
Behind them were two full-time maids, Anveena and Poison Island, who had come out to send them off.
It wasn't easy for Anveena to leave home. Although, strictly speaking, she didn't leave home when she transferred from the mansion to the City of Shadows …
Looking at Shallow Shallow dragging her suitcase as she walked towards the boarding platform, I had to say, the thought of my distant second uncle popped up again.
"What are you doing?" I hurriedly took two steps forward to help Shallow Shallow hold the suitcase. I used my free hand to knock on her head. "Why did you have to drag such a huge suitcase when you didn't use your personal space?"
"This is the feeling of going on a vacation! I haven't traveled with Ah Jun for a long time! " Shallow Shallow replied cheerfully. "Also, big sister brought a lot of things. Although they are all in the personal space, the clothes, kitchen utensils, snacks, drinks, and camera batteries are even more exaggerated than mine. It's half a ton!"
I was shocked by the weight and big sister smiled awkwardly. "I forgot that Sandora isn't coming along. Most of it is food."
No, to Sandora, it is all food.
Also, Shallow Shallow, what did you say about not traveling together for a long time? Should I first ridicule you for treating the expedition as a vacation, or should I ridicule you for forgetting last month's silent reminder to save the school?
"Where are Pandora and Visca?"
I couldn't help but ask when I didn't see the two of them. It was strange that the two of them hadn't appeared yet. Just an hour ago, I saw the two of them running around the spaceport like crazy.
"They have to reorganize the fleet and personally supervise the departure of the army." Shallow Shallow said and rolled her eyes at me. "Do they think that they are like you, wandering around with nothing to do? They are generals!"
Everyone in the world has the right to criticize me, except for you!
"Boss, we are done reorganizing!"
Who is this? So rude? Can't you see that your boss is communicating with his sister?
I followed the voice and turned around. A blue-haired figure appeared in front of me. Instantly, I lost the urge to teach him a lesson.
Ireland's Child of Light, Cuchulin, the Heroic Spirit beside Jingle.
The first rule of the Chen family's teachings was to be lenient towards an unlucky person because he was already unlucky enough. Leniency could allow him to recover some HP, which would be beneficial to his subsequent misfortune.
Cuchulin's luck has reached an astonishing level of E, but I suspect that he was cursed to have negative luck because he offended my sister in his previous life. He has already met with enough misfortune every day. Lightning strikes and tripping while walking are the least of his misfortunes. At his worst, he encountered a Hydra while he was fishing, a Chimera while strolling, and even a giant elephant stepped on him while he was sleeping. Those are all creatures of Avalon, each and every one of them has the body of a god. Even though Cuchulin was able to survive in the end because he was a guard of the God of the World, this unlucky child is now known far and wide in Avalon …
Cuchulin carried his spear and stood in front of me. Behind him was a group of Heroic Spirits who had been ordered to participate in this operation: Artoria, Hercules, Midea, Medusa, Sasaki Kojiro, and a circle of Heroic Spirits whose names I did not know. Those Heroic Spirits would change every time they carried out a mission. Only Artoria and a few other Heroic Spirits that I was familiar with had to line up neatly in front of me. Cuchulin had once protested about this, thinking that his boss had mistreated a few of his employees. But there was nothing he could do about it since he only knew a few of them. If you want to hate someone, hate yourself for participating in that unlucky fifth war.
"Yes, yes, stand neatly!"
Jingle suddenly jumped out of my shirt pocket and stood on top of my head, inspecting her soldiers like a general. I could imagine this little one nodding adorably with a serious face. And … no matter how hard I tried to hold it in, I absolutely could not laugh at this moment.
However, unlike the few of us who could not help but laugh, the group of Heroic Spirits on Cuchulin's side instantly straightened their bodies. Their expressions were solemn and nervous. Jingle was the genuine God of World Management. She was also the current source of power and the core of faith for these Heroic Spirits. The little one's' existence 'alone could make these Heroic Spirits feel reverence and obedience. So, I was even more curious about how Cuchulin's brain had gone haywire to provoke his own God.
"Do you understand your mission?"
I knew that the little one could only pretend when she was inspecting the soldiers. She was not good at lecturing. As the chairman of the group, I spoke to a group of new employees who had just passed their probation period.
"Protect the Crystal Virgin with all your might!"
Hercules, you don't have to be so loud. Your God has been shaken to the ground.
Jingle, who was yelled at by Hercules, staggered back to my shoulder and began to pick her ears in a daze. A weak purple-haired girl protected by the Heroic Spirits raised her hand and said, "That, Brother Chen, can I really do it?"
"Actually, you don't have to do anything." I comforted Sakura, who was a little unconfident because it was her first time participating in such an operation. "After you transform into the Crystal Virgin, you can just leave everything to the amplifier circuit."
The world Liliana was lost in had an information barrier. None of the detectors we had tried so far could send back information behind the barrier. But the entire Empire Fleet could not go on an expedition when they had lost contact with the headquarters. So, Avalon, which had the ability to penetrate the worlds, became our special radio station. Sakura's Crystal Virgin form was an extension of Avalon, and her body was the antenna. With the help of the ability between her and Avalon, which could ablate the barriers between planes and maintain contact, we could maintain contact with the Shadow Fortress in that world.
I just don't know what Sakura's uplink bandwidth is. With such a powerful wireless connection, she shouldn't be lagging in online movies …
At this moment, a broadcast suddenly sounded above the spaceport. "The fleet has been recharged. All units are operating normally. Conducting the roll call of the main battle equipment. All commanders, please board the ship. I repeat …"
"Time to go, time to go." Shallow Shallow, who had been scratching her ears and cheeks excitedly for a long time, suddenly jumped in front of me. Why did she make that sound? You can tell by looking at the huge suitcase she flung away. "Sandora, let's go. Anveena, take care of the poison island …"
This lass finally has some self-awareness as the matriarch of the family?
The process of boarding the ship was needless to say. The flagship of the intergalactic coalition was still the Admiral of the Empire, which we had modified time and time again into a monster ship. With a violent dimensional distortion in the shadow space, the fleet had arrived in an unfamiliar space.
