Milia was a very special person. Even though all signs indicated that her race was that of an ordinary human, we all knew that this little girl had an extraordinary life. The biggest difference between her and ordinary people was that most people would enter the small box at the end, but she came out from the small box at the very beginning …
Alright, I know that this isn't the right time to talk about this.
But looking at the metal box that was emitting a faint blue light in front of me, many unreliable and nonsensical thoughts suddenly popped into my mind. Say, why is this world so wonderful?
"You can't be joking with me, right?"
I raised the corner of my mouth and gestured at the meter long box, then reached out my hand and gestured at Milia's head. Of course, even though I said that, I understood in my heart: Uncle Zaku didn't need to trick people on such a matter.
"What?" Milia rolled her eyes and slapped away the claw on her head. She didn't have any respect for me, the big brother who saved her life and the legendary leader of the Empire. "Stop gesturing, I was still a tiny little thing at that time."
I laughed mischievously and retracted my hand. Speaking of which, even the current Miriya would be able to fit into the box easily if she hugged her knees. She was so skinny and small that it seemed like she was malnourished. If it wasn't for the fact that her complexion was always rosy and full of spirit, I would have suspected that Uncle Zaku was a vicious queen with broken ribs in his previous life …
Speaking of which, didn't we go off topic again?
Uncle Zaku wore a nostalgic expression on his face. While stroking the shiny metal box, he began to recall the time when he had picked up Miriya in the ancient ruins. Uncle Zaku subconsciously rubbed the box until it reflected his shadow. I roughly understood why this box looked so shiny. However, I didn't know who had washed his clothes.
"You've heard me talk about the situation at that time. After Rudaph ruled this world as the Holy Pope for many years, Biana and I revisited this place once. We wanted to find some answers from the ruins that changed everyone's fate. The first time we entered the ruins, the adventurer group encountered an accident near the core area of the ruins. Biana and I were slightly injured, while Rudaph and the others were burned to death on the suspension bridge. However, the second time, when Biana and I returned to that area, we discovered that the ruins' defense mechanism seemed to have gone silent. Now that I think about it, it's probably because we've been 'changed' that the relic mistook us for one of its own … "
Seeing that Zaku was immersed in the story, I straightened my posture and prepared to listen to the old man's long speech about the past. I had even prepared some tea and peanuts. I even took out a deck of cards and prepared to play a game of dragon with Miriya. Then, I heard Uncle Zaku sigh softly, "So we arrived at the Core Area and found Miriya."
I was still shuffling the cards when I heard that. "… You're done?"
Zha Gu nodded. "It's over."
I abruptly stood up. "No way! What about the most crucial process? And then I saw Miriya's box (Miriya kicked me under the table)? What about the battle? Where's the mechanism? Where's the ancient guardian beast? Are you and Luna going on and on about parting forever and ever? More importantly, how did you find Miriya's box (Kicked me again)? How did you know how to open it? How come the most important things are gone? "
Uncle Zaku scratched his head in embarrassment. It seemed that he was sorry that he had disappointed his listeners. "Indeed, that's what happened. The door to the Core Area was opened after the pipe spouted fire. The only guard inside was a mouse. Biana screamed and it was scared to death. Oh, I also had a ringing in my ears for a while. That was the biggest loss. Then, Miriya's box (Why didn't Miriya kick me now?) was placed in the middle of the room. It was placed right in the middle of the room, surrounded by a ring of mechanical devices. It was hard not to notice it. As for how to open it … "
Uncle Zaku paused for a moment. He looked like he was very powerful. Miriya immediately showed an annoyed expression. She anxiously said, "Don't make a fool of yourself. I kicked the lid myself. You screamed even louder than Biana. Both of you had a ringing in your ears for three days!"
My eyes twitched as I looked at Miriya, who was standing barefoot on the sofa. She pointed at Uncle Zaku with an angry expression. The sloppy uncle she was pointing at looked even more shocked than me. Zaku's throat rumbled twice before he shouted in surprise, "You still remember what happened at that time?!"
I curiously looked at Zaku. It seemed that this' father and daughter 'also had a secret that they didn't know about?
Miriya jumped down from the sofa. She raised her head and looked at the sky for three seconds. She seemed to be at a loss as to how to explain this matter. Then, she put her palms together and showed an apologetic expression to Zaku. "I'm sorry, Uncle. Actually, there are some things I've been hiding from you … I had a complete memory when I woke up. Moreover, I could understand a lot of things. It's just … well, I wasn't sure if you were trustworthy at that time. So, I tried my best to act like an ordinary child."
Zaku was stunned. He suddenly screamed, "You didn't even open your eyes at that time! You were only a few days old! "
Miriya just smiled awkwardly. "It seems that your disguise was very successful. Uncle, you were wearing a dirty black leather waistcoat. Biana used a lightsaber. You were driving the Glory of Glowing Light. When you went back, the airship didn't have enough power and you needed to lighten its weight. So, you threw away the heaviest part of the airship. Yes, it was the main engine. Later, you used the three auxiliary engines to crash near the town we were living in. After that landing, the rudder of the airship was destroyed. I remember these things very clearly. I almost couldn't help but laugh at that time. It's just that you didn't notice. Afterwards, I felt that you were all good people. I also wanted to tell you about these things, but I couldn't find the opportunity. Afterwards, I felt that it wasn't a big deal. So, I haven't said it until now. Eh, Uncle, are you alright? "
Zaku's entire body was ashen as he squatted on the ground. He muttered to himself like Xianglin Sao, "No wonder when I secretly tricked you to drink wine, you bit me. When I tricked you to smoke, you set my clothes on fire. When I hid your candy, I couldn't find my keys. Not even fifteen minutes after I accidentally broke your toy, I found that the car in front of the gate didn't even have a wheel left …"
I was sweating profusely as I listened on the side. These two must have fought at the gate of the Forbidden City in their previous lives, right?
The way I looked at Miriya had changed a little because I realized that the person in front of me was probably the most terrifying child prodigy in history. She had a complete memory since she was a baby. Moreover, she had quickly come up with a plan to protect her secret within a few minutes after she was' born '. She had pretended to be an ordinary baby and persisted in growing up like a normal child for several years until everyone was used to their little genius. At the same time, it was highly likely that she had been born fluent in the common language of Mobrador. Moreover, she clearly knew that throwing an airship's main engine would cause a catastrophic error. Otherwise, she wouldn't have laughed back then. This wasn't just a matter of intelligence. I almost thought that Miriya had been transmigrated by someone. After thinking about it, I could only come to one conclusion: Miriya might be a superhuman that had been artificially created.
Of course, at the same time, I also thought of another possibility. For example, Miriya was the only ancient Mobradorian who had survived, and the ancient Mobradorians had been modified by the Old Empire to be such superhumans. However, this kind of speculation couldn't explain why Miriya had been born with so much knowledge. Although the ancient Mobradorians were stronger than the modern people, they weren't that strong.
There was another important detail that came to my mind. Miriya had mentioned earlier that she had realized something within a few minutes after she had woken up from the life capsule. She could only protect herself by pretending to be an ordinary baby.
This meant one thing. In Miriya's knowledge base, a 'normal' baby wasn't like her. She knew that she was special. That was why she could consciously change her behavior. Combining the above points, I could only come to one conclusion: Miriya might be a special individual created by the ancient Mobradorians!
I labeled this conjecture as the answer as soon as it appeared because it also explained why such a huge ancient ruin would be used to store such a small 'baby box'. It was because Miriya was really important.
Lin Xue's prophecy was once again heading toward the final truth.
Miriya had always been a surprising child. Uncle Zaku knew this very well. In this world, it was rare for a holy disciple to be able to use an ancient weapon. Uncle Zaku was sure that only the Thirteen Knights could use a satellite cannon. However, Miriya had the same or even stronger power. Moreover, she was only fourteen years old. This meant that Miriya was far superior to the modern Mobradorians in all aspects. However, Uncle Zaku didn't expect that Miriya's real situation was even more exaggerated than that. Uncle Zaku squatted there with a pale face for a few minutes. I felt that he must have suffered a great blow. I also felt a little sad. I could tell that although Zaku wasn't very reliable, he had raised Miriya as his own daughter. There was no doubt that their relationship was deep. Under such circumstances, he suddenly realized that Zaku had been hiding this from him from the very beginning.
"Girl, you know where my secret stash is, right?" Zaku suddenly raised his head and said with tears in his eyes.
"Yes." Miriya nodded.
"I'll give you one-fifth. Don't tell Luna, okay?"
"One-third!" Miriya's tone left no room for negotiation.
"What does a child like you need so much money for?!"
"I know when and where you peek at Luna when she's bathing. There are also photos!"
"… Deal."
I was dumbfounded.
What material are these two made of?!
After bickering with each other, the estrangement between Miriya and Zaku disappeared in an instant. They returned to their intimate state. The gloomy expression on Zaku's face had disappeared like an illusion. It was as if the big secret that Miriya had told him a minute ago didn't exist for him. I looked at them in astonishment. Eventually, the corners of my mouth twitched. I had underestimated the bond that these two had accumulated over the ten years of relying on each other for survival.
Ever since Zaku had brought Miriya out from the ruins, he knew that he had raised a shocking 'daughter'. So, he would probably be able to accept whatever Miriya said very quickly.
After that, I brought the topic back to business. First, I asked Miriya a few questions.
The main questions were about the knowledge in her head. Of course, if possible, I also wanted to know if she had any knowledge about ancient Mobrador's history in her head. After confirming that Miriya had many preinstalled memories since she was an infant, I was filled with anticipation about Miriya's little brain.
However, my expectations were dashed. I wasn't sure if the long years had damaged the seal of the life capsule. Miriya admitted that she didn't remember anything about ancient times. Strictly speaking, the innate knowledge that she possessed wasn't knowledge but a kind of rapid recognition ability. She could quickly reorganize the information that she had gathered and compare it with a vague database in her subconscious mind. This allowed her to learn things abnormally quickly. However, according to Miriya's description, that database was more like a library of common knowledge that only stored some knowledge.
"If I really remembered those important things, I would have told you long ago," Miriya said to me with an embarrassed expression.
"Actually, I've been searching my head ever since I came to the Divine Fog Planet, but I really didn't find anything."
I was slightly disappointed. In that case, I didn't have to ask another question.
Originally, I wanted to know if Miriya knew what kind of 'mission' she had, such as stopping the Avengers from going crazy in the future or something like that.
Look, the ancient Mobradors and the Shiring Apostles (based on the intricacy of the life capsule, I felt that the Empire's technicians were involved in its creation) worked together to create such a brilliant system and supporting relics. They transformed a baby into a mobile database and sealed it. This system had traveled tens of thousands of years to the modern world. No matter how I looked at it, it couldn't have been created just to provide a loli for Zaku to raise, right?
However, looking at Miriya's current state, I was afraid that the answer to the second question would be impossible. She couldn't possibly know why the ancient Mobradors had created her.
"Miriya, I'm afraid that we need you to cooperate with us for a check-up."
After thinking for a while, I raised my request to Miriya. Unexpectedly, Miriya seemed to have already thought of this. She immediately nodded happily. Only Uncle Zaku suddenly became nervous. "Hey! Wait, you have to at least get my permission as your guardian, right? A check-up doesn't sound like a good thing! "
Miriya and I didn't respond to him.
After leaving Miriya's dormitory and arranging for someone to bring her to the lab, I shared the situation with Sandora and asked about the metal container that I had obtained on Planet Brown Earth. Since there was a Miriya in the container on Mobrador's main planet, could there be a twin sister in the container on Planet Brown Earth?
Sandora kept quiet for a while. Then, she suddenly brought up another matter. "Ah Jun, do you think the Avengers paid such a high price just to snatch a container?"
I was stunned and immediately understood what she meant.
"Are you saying that their target is the person in the container? Miriya? "
This guess was very straightforward. It wasn't that I hadn't thought of it in the beginning, but no matter how I looked at it, Miriya was just an ordinary girl. She was slightly stronger than the average Mobrador, but definitely not comparable to an officer of the Imperial Army. She knew a lot of things, but she was best at repairing old machinery and dismantling the wheels of her own car. Up until now, no one had discovered Miriya's talents in other areas. Hence, I had subconsciously overlooked certain things.
At that moment, Sandora's reminder finally connected two things together: Lin Xue's prophecy and Miriya's origin.
I thought I knew where Miriya's absolute importance lay in the future. It wasn't whether she could be of use to us, but whether she would fall into the hands of the Avengers!
"We must immediately increase the number of guards to protect Miriya," I said hastily through the mental connection. Shadora nodded in agreement. Even though we didn't know what kind of unexpected mission that Lady Mobrador, who seemed to have limited characteristics, had, in accordance with the principle of stopping the enemy, we had to protect her first since the Army of Vengeance wanted to snatch Miriya away from us!
"I'm afraid it's not enough to just increase the number of guards," Sandora added. "The Avengers dared to exchange an entire fleet for one person. It shows that Miriya's importance to them is far greater than the annihilation of the entire mothership fleet. I suggest that we temporarily increase her security level to the same level as you and me. Let her live in the core area of General City and let the Imperial Guards take over."
"Alright, now that Miriya has become the commoner with the highest security," I said with a smile. "What about the other container? Has the one we snatched from Planet Brown Earth been opened? "
"Tawil is currently in the research lab preparing to open that thing. Its locking mechanism is still intact, and it uses the advanced technology of the old Empire. It can block almost any kind of scanning. The previous attempts to open it almost destroyed the container. Later, she will try the last method to open it. If she fails again, she can only dismantle it by force. If there's a cyborg like Miriya inside … Yup, I'll inform her to prepare an emergency medical system. We don't know what kind of damage this kind of destructive dismantling will cause to the life inside."
I thought for a moment and added, "It's best to prepare a milk bottle and a diaper. By the way, does Tawil know how to breastfeed a child?"
Sandora was stunned. Through the mental connection, I could sense a brief ellipsis in her mind. Then, our Queen replied tentatively, "Hey, Ah Jun, does that mean we have to prepare a nanny first?"
"… I'll send someone to bring Luna over. She has experience."
Even though the "Sister Miriya" who had yet to appear could be a super human with a brain full of knowledge, you couldn't deny that she was indeed using a baby's body. Let's put it this way. Back then, Miriya, who was only half a year old, was proficient in dozens of languages in the world, but she still wet the bed until she was a few years old …
