Even if there were thousands of buildings outside, it would not be as good as having a roof to cover one's body at home. Far away from the days of swords and blood, the deafening sounds of war, although I haven't truly rested yet, just the announcement of "Shadow Fortress Starport has arrived" from the mainframe of the spaceship makes me feel comfortable all over.
I can finally go back and rest for a few days — — Just to pick up a little girl who ran around lost her way, the end of the world and the epic war, what kind of child would be troubled to this extent?
The moment the shuttle stopped, I couldn't wait to rush down the gangway. The first thing I did was to take a deep breath as if my life depended on it. This smell of home …
World Warning: Emperor Schilling has taken a deep breath.
There is a sour smell of ionized air.
Warning dispelled: Emperor Schilling has choked.
Cough cough, I heard that this ionized air is rich in ozone, which is good for the body.
"Master, welcome home."
The healing rate of 5 + signs alleviated my awkwardness on the spot. When I raised my head, a certain glimmering maid was looking at me with a warm smile. Behind her, there was also the warm sunlight that made one feel refreshed. One moment, it would turn orange-red, the next moment, it would turn light pink — — She had nothing better to do, so she started practicing her strange skills again.
Just like every time he returned home, An Weina would always be the first girl to appear in front of him to greet him. It was said that this was something explicitly required by the world's first maid code. Regardless of the origin, it was indeed a very comfortable thing to have a soft maid standing in front of you, gracefully bowing to you, and then healing you with a smile that was more than 90% sugar content after returning home from a world war.
It was so good that he almost forgot about the annoyance of Lina and Quicksilver Lamp tearing at each other while sitting on top of him when they arrived at the station.
I always felt that it was a bit of a waste for Anveena to be a maid. Look at her temperament, her self-restraint, her etiquette. If I changed her clothes and removed the backlight effect, people would probably believe me if I told them that this girl's surname is Elizabeth. She is much better than a certain rich lady who uses her name to eat and drink all day long. The nobles of Azeroth are really a bunch of vicious people. Anveena frankly said that when she first became a maid, she spent almost 5 years learning the etiquette of the nobles from the head maid, and this was only the basic knowledge. Not to mention, the feudal class is extremely evil. It was not easy for the family to recruit a loli, but she spent 5 years teaching her. What else could she do — — Of course, in the end, it was all me.
Speaking of which, Anveena became a maid for the kind-hearted noble family before she was even 10 years old. Then, she spent 5 years learning etiquette … When did this girl train her vicious maid skills!?
Beside Anveena stood another girl. She was also wearing a professional black and white maid outfit. She had a lace headband and a small round apron. However, the overall style of her outfit was slightly simpler. With a single glance, you could see the difference between her and Anveena's position. Furthermore, although this girl's etiquette was also very perfect, it was still a bit lacking compared to a certain walking maid textbook like Ghost. Needless to say, this was a certain female senior who had recently become a little addicted to playing the role of a maid, Poison Island Chestnut.
At this time, a group of people from the upper echelons of the Empire and the Temple who were in the know had also alighted from the shuttle. The old bird was introducing the environment to the new bird. For example, Liliana was tugging at the bewildered Fina and muttering, "Did you see that? I told you that Boss is actually a maid lover. Furthermore, the other senior sisters in black silk, loli, flat breasts, blonde hair, short black hair, and long straight black hair are basically all girls and juniors who are tsundere, swimsuit saintesses, angels, demons, and non-humans are basically all people he doesn't love. He's a person who loves everything and everything. I've fallen into a fire pit, you have to be careful …"
Before she could finish, I sent her flying with a flip of my hand with a slipper.
On the other side, Vega led the silent leader Hornet Ola to the side of the plaza. There were a few vending machines there. The little scorpion pointed at the machine that was specially designed to provide services for humans and said with a serious expression, "Remember, there's no Helium-3 in here! I've cut it before, there really isn't any! "
… The whole world knows that there's no Helium-3 in the vending machines, you simple-minded scorpion! In the end, you were the mastermind behind the dismemberment of the vending machines in the City of Shadows two months ago?
Ignoring the fellows who started to act cute the moment they got home, I tried my best to focus on what was in front of me.
"Hey, Chestnut, you should have had enough fun already, right?" Looking at Senior Poison Island who was wearing a maid outfit and had a serious expression on her face, I felt that I wouldn't be able to stop worrying about her when I got home. "Being a maid isn't your style. Can't I just treat you like a younger sister and raise you?"
I didn't expect that my casual words would make Poison Island become serious on the spot. "Please don't insult my determination like that, not even my master! I don't have any intention of fooling around. Since I can't be of use when you go out to war, I can't be a burden to you at home. As for being a younger sister … "Poison Island glanced in the direction of Pandora and shook her head resolutely." I don't think that I'm suitable. "
… That's true. With your height, joining Pandora's Dwarf Winter Melon Fellowship would probably cause the end of the world.
How should I put it? Should I praise her for being a woman of Poison Island's family? She really meant what she said, even though the way she expressed it was a pain in the ass … Since I can't accompany you on the battlefield, I'll take the path of a good wife?
It's fine for me to be a little confused for a while, right?
At this moment, Anveena started to educate her impulsive disciple. "You can't directly address your master with the word 'you'. You can only do so if your master agrees. Also, as a qualified maid …"
Looking at Poison Island nodding solemnly, I suddenly realized something. Speaking of which, it was more likely that a certain specter had brainwashed Kuwako, right?
"Friend, is this the territory of the Empire?"
At this moment, Funa finally understood that it wasn't reliable to listen to the words of the Priestess beside her. Thus, she came to my side and pointed to the surroundings. "It seems to be a space structure. Furthermore, you can't see the stars. Is this space very desolate?"
Of course, a spaceport for a large spaceship like the Empire Admiral couldn't be built on the ground. This was actually a spaceport that floated in the empty space above the Shadow City. As for the Shadow Space, other than the occasional planetary fleet that docked here, there weren't any celestial bodies here. As far as the eye could see, there was only darkness. No wonder Funa would say that it was' desolate '.
"This space is the core military and political hub of the Empire. It isn't an open world for people to live in. Furthermore, as it is man-made, there aren't any celestial bodies here." I led the group of people towards the teleportation device. "I'll bring you to the Shadow City to take a look. It can be considered the capital of the Empire. Then, we'll head to Avalon with the Heroic Spirits. That's where the mystical powers of the Empire reside. After that, there's nothing much to do, so you can have a good vacation. If there's anything you don't understand, you can connect to the public database at any time.
With your authority, you can look up many things. En, Seves should be able to arrange it. "As we spoke, we walked into the teleportation device at the edge of the plaza. This teleportation device that was on standby led directly to the center of the Shadow City. After a flash of light, we had already arrived at a new world that made one's mood brighter.
From the dark and deathly silent spaceport to the modern, sunny city, even someone as calm as Funa was momentarily stunned. After a long while, she started to look around curiously.
The first thing that came into view was the Shadow Fortress that was right in front of us. Those majestic and gorgeous Schilling buildings with blue and white energy halos and metallic glows would always give off a sense of presence + 10086. Just by standing between the heavens and the earth, they gave off a sense of deterrence. However, Funa's gaze didn't linger on these buildings for too long. Her Majesty the Queen had seen many things and lived in the City of General. Very quickly, her attention was attracted to other places in the city — for example, those Earth-style skyscrapers.
"The buildings here … Friend, I'm surprised. The buildings of the Empire's capital are actually like this … Are they simple?"
I instantly understood her doubts. The main body of the Shadow Fortress was directly replicated from the City of K in the real world. After it was turned into a base for the Imperial Army, we only remodeled a portion of it. After all, the Shiring Apostles weren't a demolition office. They didn't have the habit of demolishing the old houses to build new ones. To them, everything that was useful and didn't go to waste was the highest requirement. Furthermore, as Earthlings, my sister and I were more used to living in a human-style city. Thus, most of the places here still retained the original appearance of Earth's city. However, it looked like modern skyscrapers and television towers from the outside. If you let a Queen who was the leader of a galactic civilization see it …
That would be classified as a classical building with a higher floor.
"The process of building the Shadow Fortress is more complicated. The way the Shiring Apostles built the city is different from normal civilizations." I scratched my head. "You should check the database. It's hard to explain."
Liliana, who was beside me, quickly came over to instill some knowledge into Funa. "Anyway, you only need to know that this city is a knockoff!"
"What's a knockoff?" Funa was confused.
"A knockoff is something delicious!" Liliana nodded solemnly.
"Ah, so that's how it is. But does delicious food have anything to do with architecture?"
Funa asked seriously.
I couldn't bear to listen anymore. I quickly grabbed Liliana's collar and threw her to the back. "Can't you instill some normal values into her!?"
Funa seriously lacked common sense. It could be said that after returning to her normal life form, she didn't know anything other than the ability to take care of herself. Her situation was even worse than Roland Gail, who used three days to learn how to walk again. This gave Liliana, who wanted to fool the world, a good opportunity. A certain Black Priest would instill a lot of strange common sense into this Queen who didn't know anything. For example, the various kinds of control over a certain leader, the various kinds of control over a certain leader, the various kinds of control over a certain leader and so on …
I found it strange. When did Liliana's hobby spread to such an extent? Or could it be that every God who tries to save the lost sheep is actually just satisfying his own hobby of nurturing children?
"One two one! One two one! One two one! "
Just as I was busy correcting Funa's gradually deviating common sense, a neat yet cute little girl's voice suddenly sounded from the teleportation portal behind us. At the same time, there was a burst of rhythmic footsteps. Turning my head to take a look, as expected, it was the most ferocious Mercury Lamp formation in history that I had met once before!
Nonsense! Toy Story's destruction of one's worldview was too strong. This was practically a doll exhibition, you bastard!
I didn't know how I should describe this 60-centimeter-tall military parade, but the girls beside me instantly had stars in their eyes. Mercury Lamp, who was perched on my shoulder, grabbed my hair and swung her head back and forth while hugging a certain leader's head. Mercury Lamp seemed to be quite proud of her clone army. "Hmph hmph, foolish humans, you must be dumbfounded! The Mercury Lamp Army is about to report back to the base! This is the first time they are being used, so those stupid human alchemists want to check if the performance of these dolls has decreased. Aren't they amazing? "
… Speaking of which, can the words' aren't they amazing 'really form a logical connection with the first half of your sentence?
Just as we were talking, the ground started to shake violently. This time, I was too lazy to even raise my head. Needless to say, with such a huge commotion and the fact that the Mercury Lantern Army was following behind them, it was definitely the appearance of their transportation mothership — Titan Mercury Lantern!
"Ahem, Fina, let me show you around Avalon." I coughed twice forcefully to wake everyone up from the atmosphere of the three-headed army parade. "The Heroic Spirits need to report there. You can also go and meet Artemis. She is the administrator of Avalon and also an important member of the Church of Life. Your soul still needs to be adjusted. I have already handed it over to them."
Because I really didn't dare to take the risk of handing it over to the highest bishop of the Church of Life!!
"Ah, right, Chen-jun, I have to go back to the shop first —"
Just as we were talking, Silvia suddenly called out slowly. When I turned around, the silver-haired girl was half a beat slower, raising her hand like an obedient elementary school student.
We all looked at her in silence.
Obviously, this was something that should have been mentioned the moment we left the teleportation gate. However, this brat only remembered to greet us after watching the three-headed army parade for a few minutes. Could it be that she had been preparing this sentence for the past ten minutes?
I say, Belavilla, when you left, you didn't take away all of Silvia's remaining reaction speed, did you?
After being in a storm of bullets and smoke for so long, it was natural to want to relax. No matter how you looked at it, Avalon was an absolute health resort. It was a limited-edition luxury world personally blessed by the gods. It was more mysterious than the legendary divine kingdom of any religion. It was the base camp of the Empire's mystical side. With such amazing titles, Avalon was much more perfect than its sister world of the same name. It had an inexhaustible power of tranquility and blessings. It was a dreamy scenery that was enough to make ordinary people lose themselves in it forever. It was a life force that could dispel all diseases and pains just by breathing. Moreover, the air cleanliness index was maintained at ten to twenty thousand points all year round. All the tourist attractions since the birth of Earth combined could not compare to the little garden in front of any of the Heroic Spirits' homes in Avalon. This was a paradise on earth!
Now, all the high-end houses in the capital of the Empire were concentrated in Avalon. If you wanted to buy a house here, you wouldn't even have the chance to draw a lottery ticket unless you were a hero of some race.
Obviously, Fina didn't expect that the Xiling Empire, which gave people the first impression of a cold, steel-like technological world, would have such a side to it. As soon as she came out of the portal station at Fairy Lake, she was so mesmerized by the scenery of the Fairy Forest that she forgot to return. It was as though she had been petrified. It wasn't her fault for overreacting. Think about the tragic scene in that cage world. Think about the leaders of various races who struggled hard in that world. Because they didn't have advanced space stealth technology, what kind of miserable place did they set their capital in? How could Fina, who had lived in that place for hundreds of years, imagine the scenery of heaven!
Even if she didn't have feelings, yearning for beautiful things was a biological instinct.
The Fairy Forest was the largest forest in Avalon. It was said that it was a sacred forest that grew directly from a branch of the World Tree. Stepping into the forest meant that one's soul would be purified by the World Tree. Mortals could even become spirits of the World Tree in their next life. Fairy Lake was the most beautiful lake in the heart of the Fairy Forest. If mortals drank the water here, they would be cured of illness forever. If the dead bathed in it, they would be reborn in heaven. It also had a beautiful legend. It was said that at the beginning of the world, the great Goddess of Life saw that life was full of vitality and happiness. She was so moved that she shed a tear.
This tear fell into the Fairy Forest and formed the Fairy Lake … Everyone who saw this clearly understood, so I won't hide it. The above paragraph was an excerpt from Liliana's "The Doctrine of Life – Records of the Miracles of the Goddess, October 28th, revised edition." Liliana printed those religious pamphlets by the ton and distributed them everywhere in the macro world. They were all made up by her. Of course, some of them were actually done by Jingle, but they were embellished.
Anyway, as far as I could remember, the most recent miracle that Jingle performed was when she fell into a wine glass and went crazy. She used all kinds of tentacles and vines to kill an army of heroic spirits and their owner. But this story was embellished by Liliana. It was said that it could almost be adapted into an epic drama …
From a certain point of view, our greatest bishop was quite responsible.
… Although in most cases, I would rather this girl just sit around and wait for death than go out and harm the world.
