After the Warsong was reactivated, the happiest person was Sandora. It was easy to imagine. The person who had the deepest feelings for the Warsong, an ancient starship with a special meaning, had to be her former master. It could even be said that the Warsong was Sandora's last remembrance of the former Empire. The resurrection of the Warsong meant the continuation of life on the other side of the universe. It was self-evident.
Who said that the people of the Empire were all heartless war machines? It was just that no one could understand the great mission they carried and the burning will of their race. They had their own happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. For example, on the day the Warsong was reactivated, Sandora ate twice as much rice as usual because she was in a good mood — including two brand-new rice cookers.
Now, we had gotten used to it. When Anveena scooped rice for the family, she would first pour a bowl for each of us, and then pass the entire pot to Sandora. If things went well, she wouldn't have to take it back …
For the past two days, everything had been peaceful. His daily life that was plagued with calamities had finally gotten back on track, and he could finally enjoy a few days of leisure that he had always dreamed of. Usually, he would stay at home and tease Dingdang, Bubbles, Dingdang, Veska, Dingdang, and Mercury Lamp. He felt that his life was unprecedentedly leisurely. Occasionally, he would go out for a stroll, but it was to accompany Qian Qian to run around, accompany the little ones to play at the amusement park, or accompany his elder sister to go out to buy some daily necessities. In reality, there was no need to go out to buy things at home. The Empire was vast, and even in the news, you wouldn't be able to find a place with more resources than the Empire. From needles and thread to warships and cannons, there was basically anything that one wanted. However, his elder sister was still willing to personally go out to buy some necessities, rice, oil, and salt. Like a commoner, she meticulously haggled with the peddlers on the street before carrying a basket of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar back home while humming a little tune. She was used to living life as an ordinary person. Plain, ordinary, and peaceful. This was the atmosphere she loved the most. Anveena didn't understand her mistress' actions. She felt that she was neglecting her duties. Icetis would occasionally complain about it, but I felt that it was my elder sister's talent to be able to maintain such a peaceful daily routine in times like this: the eternal buff of a commoner.
The midsummer dragged on for a long time before it slowly subsided. The weather finally started to cool down. Although it was still a little hot at noon, the cool air of autumn could already be felt in the evening. In a densely populated city, the weather was always a little slow. The skyscrapers and human activities had delayed the heat of summer for a long time, but now, it was finally starting to recede. Perhaps outside the city, it was already autumn's refreshing weather.
There was a lot of rain this summer, and this city, which happened to be located in the humid zone, was no exception. In the past few days, there had already been two to three rains. Especially since yesterday, the weather was a little gloomy. This afternoon, it was even gloomier outside. There weren't many dark clouds, but the entire sky had a faint yellow hue, as though it was nearing dusk. The bright yellow light from the sky diffused from the horizon, as though the city was surrounded by a halo. It was obvious that a large-scale storm was about to arrive.
This afternoon, there would be heavy rain accompanied by short-term thunderstorms and gales. On this point, Lin Xue and the TV station's weather forecast had reached a high level of agreement.
I didn't dislike rain. In fact, it was the exact opposite. I liked rainy weather. Not only did it rain, I liked all the days when it rained from the sky, including rain, snow, and hail. This strange hobby made all of my teachers puzzled since I was young. I even thought that I would become a poet or a hoodlum in the future. It wasn't until my elder sister's words woke me up that I realized that I was happy because I didn't have to go to school in this kind of weather … Well, no matter what the reason was, this was a hobby that I had developed since I was young. Even now, I especially liked rainy weather, especially when it was raining or freezing outside. I would hide in a warm little room and look at the scenery outside through the glass window. I would feel a sense of tranquility, as though the entire world was protected by the four warm walls around me.
But when I hid in a room and looked out the window in bad weather, I felt that I was fundamentally different from the person next to me.
Lina and I were leaning against the window, watching the weather get worse and worse. Snot bubbles were coming out of her nose. She pointed out the window and pointed at the people running around on the street in the distance. "When it rains, they won't be able to find shelter. Aiyaya, this feeling of balance is just too much …" Lina and I were leaning against the window. She excitedly pointed at the people running around on the street in the distance. "They won't be able to find shelter when it rains.
I opened the window and grabbed Liliana by her belt, as though I was about to throw her out. "Do you still have the appearance of a clergyman? Even if you don't want to be merciful, at least don't make fun of people, okay? "
Liliana swayed back and forth in the air with her hands on her hips. "You don't understand. Good and evil will be rewarded. There is no such thing as good, evil, or injustice within a hundred kilometers of this Pope. The unlucky ones will definitely be those who have done bad things in the past thirty days. If they are really good, as long as they stand within a hundred kilometers of this Pope, even if lightning strikes from the heavens, they won't be able to touch a single hair on their head. If they are really bad, even if their house is right in front of them, they won't be able to find shelter from the rain!"
I was stunned when I heard that. I felt that what Liliana said was very magical. But this girl never lied in front of me. Does that mean that she really has this special ability?
"It's very normal. God's spokesperson carries divinity." Icetis lazily lied on the side and said without raising her head. "Sometimes, we have to worry about the balance of the world and can't release divinity. However, our spokesperson is a creature of the world and doesn't have this concern. Therefore, most of the time, God's side is reflected through the spokesperson. No matter how moral Liliana is, she stands there as the core of judgment. Mortals without power will more or less be affected by her. If Liliana doesn't do it on purpose, it should just be a small drop in luck. For example, getting lost in front of your house during a thunderstorm or something like that. "
I looked at the dwarf's priestess in my hands. I really felt that anything related to [Star Domain Protoss] was quite magical. The one in front of me, even a female hoodlum like Icetis could ridicule her moral standards, yet she was a moral scanner with an effective radius of a hundred kilometers … Eh, wait a minute.
"Morality, what do you guys think is the standard of morality?" I shook Liliana in my hands. "The morality of humans, vampires, aliens, beastmen … There are so many races, are their moral standards the same?"
"This is the side of divinity." Icetis replied in a muffled voice. "The judgment comes from the heart of the person being judged. Because even God can't simply twist the free will of mortals, the judgment of divinity is based on the judgment of the person being judged. Even the most heinous person would know the concept of good and evil in their own race. Even if there are extremely twisted evildoers, they are in the minority. Under normal circumstances, the spokesperson's divinity judgment is enough to deal with mortals."
I rubbed my chin and thought for a moment. Then, I casually threw Liliana out.
"Wah!" The dwarf priestess screamed in shock. Then, she stood in the courtyard and protested loudly. I raised my head to look at the sky. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any lightning striking down. Thus, I turned to Icetis and said, "Look, isn't this the limit of distortion? She is so evil, yet she hasn't been struck by lightning. Even the Heavenly Axiom can't do anything about that lass's moral standards. "
"Can you get any more senseless?" Icetis turned her head and rolled her eyes at me.
I shrugged and turned to look at this female hoodlum. She was leading all the winged ones in the house to line up in the living room. They raised half of their wings as though they were doing aerobics. On the ceiling, Ierson, who was tied up and used as a light source, hung from the ceiling … Because the weather outside wasn't good, these fellows were sunbathing at home. How dare you say that I'm senseless?
"Listen to my command. One, two, three, change sides!"
Icetis suddenly raised her hand and shouted. Then, she lowered a row of wings and replaced the other half of her wings. I felt all sorts of messy looking at it. Of course, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that there was a palm-sized tiny thing lying on my shoulder. Jingle followed suit and shouted softly, "One, two, three, change sides!" Then, she flipped her two pairs of dragonfly-like wings …
Just imagine how joyous the daily life of this group of people was.
What was even more joyous was that we weren't the only ones in the house today. We actually had guests as well. Mercury Lamp's younger sisters had come from Rosette Maiden's world to visit. They were currently sitting in the living room. Several puppet-like girls had occupied the large sofa and were gathered around the television to watch Pinocchio — they basically all watched this genre. Less than two meters behind this group of puppets was Mercury Lamp. She was also a winged member of the family. Of course, she was currently following Icetis's "training class" and was sunbathing her feathers. She was sunbathing front and back, and she would even change sides every few minutes. This 92.3cm little fellow stood out from the group of fellows with wingspans of two to three meters. I couldn't imagine how Red and the others could remain calm while watching Mercury Lamp doing this …
"It's unbelievable that Mercury Lamp has become like this!" Jadestone and Firmament Stone were muttering to each other. "It's a pity that we don't have wings. I don't know if that golden fellow's light is really comfortable. It feels like the sun."
Not far away, Gilgami was hugging Little Bubble like an abandoned wife and muttered, "Golden, golden, this king's last bit of light was stolen by that searchlight …"
I was amused when I heard this. You don't say, when it comes to the ability to emit golden light, Gilgami really can't compare to Eersson. Ignoring everything else, Gilgami definitely doesn't have the brightness of the sun. Of course, I think this is actually a good thing. Eersson's brightness is high, but isn't the greatest value of his brightness for people to hang on the roof to sunbathe …
At this moment, a low rumble finally came from the distant horizon. The muffled rolling thunder, which had been brewing for an entire afternoon, finally arrived. Almost immediately after the first thunder, bean-sized raindrops poured down with a crash, and the sky outside the window instantly became misty.
"Wow, this rain is really fierce." I looked outside the window in surprise. Little Bubble was attracted by the sound of the rain outside the window. She came over and climbed up the window sill with her hands and feet. I was afraid that she would run out to the street, so I quickly reached out and carried her in my arms. Little Bubble giggled happily, hugging my neck and muttering a bunch of things. Although I couldn't understand what she was saying, it was obvious that she was very happy. Children are really blessed, they can suddenly be happy.
"But it's raining, so we can't go shopping. I was planning to buy clothes today." Shallow Shallow held her cheeks and sat on the chair. She sat next to me and looked at the rain outside. Her elbow supported the back of the chair, "Anveena."
"I'm here!" The little ghost immediately flew over and waited expectantly for Shallow Shallow to assign her tasks. In the end, Shallow Shallow thought for a moment and said seriously, "Have you learned how to lay eggs?"
The little ghost was a little confused and shook her head blankly, "This … seems to be a very difficult skill. I haven't learned it yet."
"Oh, then it's none of your business. I want to know what a crow's egg tastes like."
Then, Anveena innocently sank to the floor and counted the ants.
"Don't you think we are a little depraved?" I used my elbow to poke Shallow Shallow's face, "We are used to fighting. Why do we feel so uncomfortable now that it's quiet?"
"There are times when Emperor Qin Shi Huang would watch an erotic dance while scratching his toes. Do you think the Demon Kings in the castle have to sit on their thrones 24/7 and act like idiots?" Lin Xue's voice came from not far away. "Do you believe that every time a hero challenges the Demon King, there will be the Four Great Guardians pestering him at the door for half a day because the Demon King is touching up his makeup in the room next door?"
"At the same time, they would stuff a bunch of equipment that they can't use but that a hero would definitely dream of, right?" I glanced at her and noticed that she was fiddling with a black, egg-sized cube in her hand. I was instantly curious, "Eh, what is that?"
"A … key, I guess," the missy said with a rare uncertain tone, "Do you remember? Back when we were in Azeroth, we snatched a small black box from a mutated demon. A while ago, I got the research center to help me open it, but there was only a small cube inside. Now, no one knows what this cube is for, so I treat it as a toy."
I tilted the corner of my eyes forty-five degrees upwards and pondered for a long time. After a full minute, I slapped my thigh and shouted, "Oh my, there's a hole here!"
The missy and Shallow Shallow, who was beside me, said in unison, "What?"
"There's no need to think about the details," I quickly waved my hand. "Honestly, I have almost forgotten about this matter. Now, I vaguely remember that I snatched that box from a Demon Chief. You said that this thing would have a special use in the near future, and that it would be of great significance."
"There was a problem with that prophecy," the missy tossed the black cube in her hand. "Let me think … The problem lies in my misunderstanding of the time scale in the prophecy. Back then, I had just grasped the power of prophecy, so I got many things wrong … This cube itself doesn't have much value. It is just a 'key' that the Fallen Apostle gave to the high-level cannon fodder subordinates. The lock corresponding to the key isn't anything important, but the strange thing is that my intuition told me that it is of great significance, and that intuition still exists even now. It's really strange. Also, I was mistaken about the time shown in the prophecy. I thought that its use would be revealed very soon, but in reality, I only found out that it was such a thing in the box not too long ago. Yeah, very interesting. "
"Now, you think that it will be put to use soon?" My gaze followed the movements of Lin Xue's hands. I couldn't help but ask, "What is it used for?"
"Not now, but the time is nearing. This is the first time I have encountered something that I can't see through at all. It is so inconspicuous, but it bears the burden of a major revolution. This revolution must be of great significance, so much so that all of the future is stacked on top of it. Looking at it …" As the missy spoke, she tossed the black metallic cube high up into the air. "It looks as though it is bound by layers of spider webs."
"Hey! If you find it too glaring, just say it. Don't throw it at me! "
Ilson, who was hanging from the ceiling, shouted loudly.
"Tsk, did I use too much strength?" Miss Lin muttered as she turned her head away.
Hiding in the house to drink tea on a rainy day was indeed a very relaxing thing to do. However, it was also quite boring. After staying in this atmosphere for a while, I felt that I couldn't stand the boredom anymore. The main reason was that there was a group of guests in the house: the group of female dolls who had occupied the large sofa in the house and were currently watching old cartoons. This was actually a very subtle situation. I felt as though my daughter had brought a large group of little friends to play at home, and these naughty children were running around in front of me. Thus, I, who normally didn't run away, had no choice but to put on the airs of a serious parent. Looking at the sanctimonious appearance, Chu Mei looked at me as though I was a child playing in someone else's house and saw the other person's parent. Do you know how much pressure I, a happy dad who was used to lifting and winding up the Mercury Lamp and tossing it around, felt?
In front of Zhen Hong, I felt embarrassed to continue hugging and rubbing against Mercury Lamp in my arms.
Perhaps my boredom had really touched the Goddess of Fate (if Icetis really had such a child). Just as I was about to go to the corner of the wall to plant some mushrooms, something interesting suddenly came: An emergency communication from the City of Shadows.
"Your Majesty, this is the research center. We have met with trouble."
In the emergency communication, it was Tawil's voice.
I stood up abruptly. At the same time, Sandora, Big Sis, Shallow Shallow, and Lin Xue also stood up. It was obvious that they had received the message at the same time.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of others. Not only were the rose girls who were watching television shocked, even the bird men who were sunbathing raised their heads. Mercury Lamp pouted as she looked at me and asked angrily, "Another war?!"
"No, there was a research accident in the City of Shadows. It's not a big deal, but we have to handle the situation personally."
I quickly replied to the puppet and focused my attention on the mental connection. At the same time, I prepared to teleport to the City of Shadows. "Tawil, are you online? What's the situation? What happened? "
"The Deep Submersible Ship." The first few words from the other party made my heart clench. "Its core has activated by itself. Right now, the database's energy is rapidly increasing. The wreckage will be destroyed in an hour!"
