Exactly what miracles are used for the rest of the day.

After a general exchange with Dawn, Su Sun cleaned up the corpses at the scene and buried them in the stone pit he had dug.

It didn't take long to do this, and when he turned around, he saw Dawn flying around Gasha and Loya at an average speed, looking at the two children with a curious expression, like a large butterfly or a drone.

"What? Is there anything special about them? ”

Su Sun was not worried about what evil thoughts the other party had for the children.

Because he knew that Dawn was actually 'weaker' than ordinary people, except for the racial characteristics that allowed her to fly, and her unusually long life.

Loya aside, Gasha is estimated to be able to hit her three times with one hand.

This is not difficult to understand, because the stronger the life, the more difficult it is to be stagnant by the 'static field', and then sleep without damage and spend a long time.

Just like Su Sun's body, it can't be stagnant by the static field at all, although his source energy is not much, but the purity is extremely high, and it is extremely active, enough to interfere with the operation of most precision equipment.

"Well, it's really special...... The life bloodlines of this era have actually fused to this point, almost a completely new race, which we did not envision at the beginning. ”

Stopped flying, Dawn didn't care about Gasha's vigilance, Loya's curious gaze.

She even took the initiative to reach over her metal flaps, allowing Loya to touch them with a curious expression, causing him to cheer quietly.

The half-goblin stared at the two children calmly, swept their different pupils, then turned his head to look at Su Sun, and nodded thoughtfully: "Of course, your bloodline is more special than theirs, and I am surprised - why does the blood of the treants merge with the devil?" It's not ...... common sense."

"I don't know how humans and silver elves mix."

Watching the interaction between the half-goblin and the children, Su Sun stood aside and complained: "The goblin is a pure energy creature, and this can be mixed-blood, it's outrageous." ”

"Actually, I don't know."

Dawn floated in the air, pointing to a light silver rune imprint on his shoulder, and generously admitted: "I am an artificial creature created by the ancient era, and they used a lot of advanced technology to create me, and even involved quite complex soul engineering, and it is not a natural hybrid at all. ”

"And my guess is that you are the product of a similar project."

At this moment, the Master of the Flint Light has awakened.

He woke up slowly, and the first thing he said after opening his eyes was to laugh at himself with surprise: "Hmm...... The old man didn't die? 】

But as soon as he spoke, Suiguang sensed that something was wrong: "Wait, why did I say this? I was just thinking that in my heart...... The same is true of this sentence!? What's going on? 】

[How can I say whatever comes to my mind and not be able to keep my mouth shut?] 】

"Because you've been hit by my 'Riddler Specialized Heavenly Demon Virus'." Su Sun didn't even turn his head: "I will withdraw later, but during this time, you will say whatever you want, and it is impossible to hide it." ”

"Children, take a good look at the current Master of the Flint Light, this is what happened to the Riddler."

And the children's energetic answer sounded: "Yes!" ”

[Alas...... I didn't expect you to have this kind of technique, professor. 】

In this regard, Dawn, who fully understood his current situation, could only smile bitterly: [If those experts in the Imperial Inquisition Court knew, they would definitely do everything to get this technique - the truth elixir is too expensive, and the interrogation effect is not good. 】

Human communication is inefficient because both parties cannot prove what they really think in their hearts, they don't know whether the other party is sincere and lying, and even if they confirm it again and again, they can't really be sure of the truth.

But in the transcendent world, if both parties want to be sincere, they can guarantee sincerity, as evidenced by the fluctuations of the soul.

If one party is strong enough to hide the fluctuation from the other party, then in more than 90% of cases, the powerful party can get the information they want by relying on coercion alone, without communication.

Although Su Sun's soul was strong, he didn't intend to hide it; And although Dawn has a strange origin, she has no intention of hiding her thoughts.

As for the flint, it was even more disturbed by the Heavenly Demon Virus, and he couldn't hide his innermost thoughts at all for the time being.

[That's it.] 】

After perceiving this, this human being, who is also an artificial being, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then shook his head slightly: [Since you can't lie, and you can't keep your mouth shut, the old man can only know everything, and say everything. 】

The effectiveness of the Heavenly Demon Virus against the Riddler is so terrifying.

So far, everyone has had a friendly and cordial conversation based on the current situation in a sincere, honest, and unconcealed excellent communication environment, and exchanged some information and opinions with each other.

The result was that everyone was surprised, even stunned.

The technological level of the civilization of the Aion Continent is not low, according to the words of the dawn, it is 'only a few key technologies away from the previous era, and a new generation of technological revolution can be started', and in a few hundred years, it will be able to catch up.

After all, being able to create such a thing as a source energy mobile city is enough to prove that the industrial capacity of this world is quite high.

But that's not what surprised Dawn.

"Do you mean to say that the Holy Day has been bleak again?"

Listening to Master Suiguang's explanation of the current situation on the mainland, the girl's pupils couldn't help but focus slightly: "Let me confirm again, it should only be eight thousand years away from the civilization of the previous era?" ”

"To be precise, the time when the ancestors of the various races appeared on this continent was more than 8,000 years ago."

Su Yan pointed out according to the information in his memory: "Before this, there must have been a blank period that has not been recorded in history. ”

"From the shelter to the mainland, it will only take a few hundred years at most, which is about nothing."

Sighing lightly, the wings behind Dawn shook slightly, proving that she was not at peace in her heart: "Since it has begun to be dim, then the extinguishing is also coming, I didn't expect that I just woke up, and I encountered such a situation again." ”

[That's true.] For you who have just come out of the iron coffin, this is really bad news, but the truth is that according to the observations of the Light-Chasing Order, within a hundred or two hundred years at most, the Holy Days will be completely extinguished. 】

Suiguang obviously didn't know that Su Sun was actually the existence of the coffin, he shook his head worriedly, and made a scraping sound of steel: [For short-lived ordinary people, two hundred years sounds far away, but in fact, the consequences of the bleak Holy Sun will soon appear - the Ai'an Continent will gradually be buried by ice and snow, the ocean will be frozen, and plants will be extinct, and it will not take two hundred years, and all living things will usher in the cold of dead silence and darkness. 】

[And the worshippers of the Dusk Dragon, the two major tribes of Winter and Sunset will also take advantage of this time to attack, they are not afraid of the end, and even longing for the end of all things, because the place where they now live is the ice prison of suffering, and the equal destruction brought by the Dusk Dragon is the revenge they most desire for on this continent. 】

"Again?"

Su Sun was aware of the details between Dawn's words, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party: "It seems that this is not the first time you have encountered the current situation, right?" ”

And the girl turned her head sideways, she glanced at Su Day, and then nodded slightly: "You are very sensitive, it is true." ”

"I am not a creature of the previous era, but a life that was created in an even older age, when all the gods still existed."

"I am one of the direct heirs of the gods, the creation of the 'Elven Civilization', and one of the many ways they tried to deal with the Dragon of Dusk and the ultimate catastrophe of the Holy Sun Extinguished."

The news was indeed unexpected.

Both Su Sun and Suiguang were slightly stunned, and then their expressions became solemn.

The murals of the ruins of the First Dawn depict the gods fighting the dragon of dusk, but they do not show the elements of the extinguishment of the holy sun.

Aside from that, no one believed that the Sacred Tree and the gods really existed—they believed that it was probably the result of the mythologization of the heroes of ancient times against the Dragon of Dusk.

"After the gods sealed the Dragon of Dusk and turned it into the 'Sealing Moon', the Holy Day began to gradually dim, but other than that, I don't know the things of that era."

The end of the gods, Dawn does not know, although she is the creation of the fairy civilization, but she spends most of her time in the laboratory, and has not really lived in the fairy civilization.

Most of the gods who were almost dead and wounded disappeared, and all civilizations were forced to join forces to deal with this sudden apocalypse, and the fairy civilization was the most enthusiastic among them.

Because the goblins are pure energy beings, in the face of the holy day that is indeed gradually extinguishing, and the source energy that is gradually becoming polluted by the demon moon, the foundation of their existence has begun to crumble.

Before the other races become extinct because of the cold, they will die because of the dissipation of the source energy.

To solve this situation, they simulated the human body and then tried to integrate the pure energy goblins into the flesh.

It was difficult, but in the end it worked, and Dawn was a creation of that era.

With the physical body, the affinity for the source energy is greatly reduced, but the resistance to the filthy source energy is also increased, and the elves worry about whether their creations and new offspring will inherit their technology and civilization, but time waits for no one, and the holy day is about to be extinguished, and they have to make the final choice.

"That's when I was sealed for the first time, and when I came out again, I was excavated from the ancient ruins by the Winged People."

Shaking his head calmly, the dawn's tone was sad and joyless: "It was thirty-one thousand years after the destruction of the goblin civilization, a new era, the holy day began to extinguish again, and the humans, winged people and devils fought a war for ten thousand years, but in the face of the reality of the end of the world, they still joined forces to try to fight against the end of this second coming." ”

"As an ancient being who has inherited some of the technology of the fairy civilization, and a part of the relics of the last era that have also been excavated, I have cooperated with them to conduct research for a period of time, and have created a new batch of races that are more optimized and more resistant to source energy."

"To be honest, I still haven't left the lab – I don't care. In short, before the Second Holy Day was extinguished, I was once again sent into the Stasis and existed as a 'watchman'. ”

Then came the extinguishing of the Third Holy Day and a new era...... That is, the civilization of the era before you. ”

"Because of the creations inherited from the many ruins, their technology is quite advanced, and they have even touched the realm of the gods, but the time left for them is even shorter—thirty-one thousand years, twenty-five thousand years, seventeen thousand years, and when your generation is extinguished, there will be only eight thousand years left."

"Although technology is being passed down and civilization is developing, and one generation is better than the next, the time for the Holy Days to maintain their light is getting shorter and shorter."

At this point, the half-goblin looked around at everyone present, her eyes were as calm as mirrors, reflecting everyone's expressions: "And this time, the civilization of the Aion Continent is actually not as advanced as the last civilization, and the situation is very bad." ”

"However, your source energy harnessing technology is so powerful that you can even create steel bodies that can be used purely for your source energy and mechanics to hold your mind...... It's a completely new way of thinking. ”

She complimented, "I have seen your battles, this is a path similar to that of the gods, and perhaps another way can be found." ”

The information and truth revealed by dawn were beyond Su Sun and Suiguang's expectations.

This half-goblin has actually survived the end of several epochs, and has passed through the long years in the static field again and again!

And the fact that the holy days were extinguished again and again made everyone present frown.

[The academic community has been pondering why such an advanced civilization of the previous era suddenly destroyed......]

Suiguang muttered: [Originally, we guessed that a geological disaster, a world war, or a natural disaster broke out, but we didn't think that they were facing the same ...... as we were about to extinguish the Holy Day.]

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: [The Order's guess is not wrong, this ruin does hide a secret about the last era facing the end of the world, which may help us fight the end of the world. 】

[But who knows it's such a secret?] 】

"Ancestors...... You are really an ancestor, and this is a few eras ago. ”

Su Yan sighed with emotion, and then said curiously: "I take the liberty of asking, not counting the time in the static field, how many years have you consciously lived in total?" ”

"Four hundred and seventeen years is still very young for a half-elf, and ninety percent of the time is spent in the laboratory."

Dawn's face was calm, even though Gasha on one side whispered to Loya in shock, "It's not my sister, it's grandma!" ''Grandma won't live for more than 400 years!'' And so it is true.

She didn't shy away from this: "Every time I wake up, I have to face the extinguishment of the holy day, but it's not surprising, if civilization wants to develop to the point where it can find a research institute, it also needs to develop for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years - primitive people can't dig up the mountain and wake me up." ”

By now, Dawn had a certain understanding of the current situation of civilization on the Ai'an Continent.

"It's not too bad, at least your civilization has noticed the changes in the Holy Day and is planning to deal with it."

With that, the half-goblin simply turned around, and she floated past Su Sun and Suiguang towards the depths of the ruins: "So that I can help you as I did with previous civilizations." ”

"Come on, let's go to the deepest part of the institute, I'm going to restart it."

"Why help us?"

Su Sun got up and walked forward, beckoning Gasha and Luo Ya to follow together, and Suiguang naturally started as well.

But he still habitually questioned such a sentence.

Dawn stopped flying, and the metal wings fluttered slightly.

The half-goblin, who rarely showed emotion, turned her head, she looked at Su Sun, and replied seriously: "Because this is the meaning of my creation and existence in the world." ”

"Because I want to live too."

Led by dawn, Su Sun and his party walked to the deepest part of the ruins of the First Yao.

Meanwhile.

Asmodean Empire, new capital, Fort San Montasini.

October 22, fine.

The huge mobile city is like a mountain moving on the ground, and the violent fluctuations of source energy are like waves visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.

Ever since Asmodee IX abandoned his northeastern capital and moved his capital to central China to avoid the increasingly fierce invasions of the two barbarian tribes in the north, the empire has lost control of the northern region.

If it weren't for the Yanshuang Army spontaneously formed by the locals centered on Yanshuang Pass to block the barbarian invasion, it is likely that the northeast region of the continent would be in shambles.

But the emperors naturally never cared about this little thing—if they could get drunk and dream and enjoy pleasure in the prosperous areas of the central region, why bother to face the barbarian soldiers on the frontier?

In late autumn and early winter, the sunny days are also a little cool, but for local residents, after three consecutive weeks of rainy weather, this bright sunshine is really rare, just enough to dry the quilt and go out to visit relatives and friends.

Fort San Montasini was originally a large military fortress city located in the central region of the Empire, and it was one of the largest mobile fortress groups in the Empire.

However, after becoming the new capital, the original military fortress was quickly transformed into a large comprehensive city, and many small commercial city-states merged into this mobile urban cluster, turning it into a bustling city.

Even then, of course, this does not change the fact that it is essentially a military fortress.

Click, click. The sound of metal grinding sounded, accompanied by the humming of the Earth's Source Energy Engine, and a row of tall steel giants silently patrolled the core city, armed with huge shields and spears, like a row of moving ramparts, enough to crush everything in front of them.

Boom. They walked in unison, but as if they were walking alone.

This scene caused the surrounding passers-by and vendors to be silent in awe, and subconsciously lowered their eyes.

Because it was the imperial imperial forbidden army, and it was the posture of the emperor's guard.

Every Praetorian Guard is at least a professional of the Spirit Light Rank, and the team leader is a master of the Heart Light Rank, and the third-generation Mars Battle Armor they wear is difficult to break even for a Heart Light Realm cultivator, which is enough to resist a base of source energy cannon fire.

With only twelve guards, it was enough to fight an army of more than 10,000 men outside, and their charge could not be stopped even by chariots, and it was easy to capture a mobile city-state.

They can only be seen in the core of Fort San Montasini, and if they are seen outside of here, it means that a bloody storm is about to be brought down by the emperor.

The Praetorian Guards are conducting their daily routine, boring, but necessary.

But in the middle of the patrol, the captain of the Praetorian Guard saw a figure walking in the street, which seemed familiar to him, and he was slightly stunned.

Immediately after that, he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"Knight-sama!"

Even the other janissaries, who didn't react, reacted immediately when they heard this call, and they also knelt on the ground in unison, and whispered to the figure who was forced to stop: "Meet the knight!" ”

For a moment, not only the guards, but everyone who heard the name, whether tourists, residents, or vendors, looked in that direction, and then fell in unison amid cheers.

"Meet the Knight!"

In just a few seconds, there was only one person standing in the entire street, and it was a man who had apparently transfigured.

He was surprised at first, but then looked helplessly at the crowd of people who were kneeling around him.

took off his disguised sunglasses and took off his disguised beard, the old man with outstanding appearance and gray hair and golden eyes sighed: "Get up...... Alas, I'm not a nobleman, I don't even have a military rank, so why do you kneel every time you see me......"

But it is clear that no one can convince this argument.

"If it weren't for the knight, you were unwilling to accept the reward, with your merits and strength, you would have become an earl and a marshal long ago."

The captain of the Praetorian Guard still bowed his head, and he said in a deep voice: "The 'First Knight of the Empire', 'the hero who repelled natural disasters', 'Seeing him is like seeing a lonely', the strongest man in the empire who repelled the twenty-four attacks of the Sunset tribe and defended the Yanshuang Pass with one horse...... My lord, why do you have to change your face, where in the world you can't go? ”

- Of course, I can go anywhere, I just want to walk around the city with less movement and not disturb the people too much......

Every trip caused a lot of noise and chaos, and the old knight knew that it was not easy to refuse the enthusiasm of the people, so he could only shout at everyone to get to their feet, and then disappear as fast as he could.

Obviously, this is not the first time this scene has occurred.

Sensing the knight's departure, the Captain of the Praetorian Guard stood up and maintained order, restoring calm to the people who had been excited and had seen their idols.

After some time, on the edge of the new capital, in a hidden dwelling.

"Why, Irowiz, you old fellow, why did you come to me again today?"

A majestic old man standing at the window, reading the newspaper in the sun, suddenly became aware of it, and he turned his head to see the gray-haired knight with a helpless face opening the door as if he were opening his own door, and then picked up a cup of tea from the table and drank it.

"What can I do? I went out for a walk and was found again...... Why do you like to put sugar in your tea? It's weird! ”

Although he frowned, the old knight still drank it in a big gulp - taking advantage of his friends was a pleasure in itself.

"Haha, I knew you didn't like sweet, so I changed it on purpose." The old man put away the newspaper, then laughed and stepped forward and gave the other party a firm hug: "Why come to me and grab my tea?" Is the mansion boring? Or is it that Your Majesty is tired of giving you a beauty? ”

"Akhalonov, you know that I don't like that luxury the most, I have refused many times, but Your Majesty is going to give it to me."

Hugging the old man hard, and after letting go, the gray-haired old man, the first knight Irowitz, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa beside him.

When he heard his friend's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But you're right, I'm really too annoying, if it weren't for Your Majesty saying that now is the critical moment and I need to guard the imperial capital, I would have gone to the border to patrol a long time ago." ”

"You, you always can't learn to enjoy, you obviously have such a strong power, but you live like an ascetic."

Taking a few steps back, looking at the plain clothes of the man in front of him, Akhalonov stroked his beard, and he smiled: "Then you came to me today to talk?" Not today, though, I have something to attend to. ”

"What, what's going on with the Third Army? I remember that your son has already completely mastered military affairs, and you can retire after waiting for your majesty's official appointment next year? ”

I really wanted to talk to the old man, and Irowitz, who had been playing for a while, couldn't help but be a little curious - since the old man took a back seat and only occasionally controlled things in the army remotely, the other party never refused his request for discussion: "Could it be that there is something that is quite tricky for you, a general?" ”

"It's not a tricky thing, and I don't need your attention, Lord Knight."

Admiral Ahalonov shook his head slightly, sat on the sofa next to him, and didn't care that there was Ilovitz's coat under his buttocks, and he frowned slightly: "It's that one of my potential subordinates died, and there was a problem with the exploration of the ruins, and there was an accident that should have been prepared." ”

Saying this, he sighed rather unpleasantly: "No matter how careful the plan is, there will always be accidents, and the Light Chaser Sect should indeed be beaten and beaten, and it dares to meddle in military affairs and hinder His Majesty's plan." ”

"Is it the one over there in the North Ionian Mountains?"

Hearing about the Light Chaser Order, as well as the ruins, Irowitz reacted to what the other party was talking about, and he nodded slightly: "The plan was leaked from the beginning, there are spies from the Order in the army, and I said that this exploration will not go well." ”

"yes, but I didn't expect Yelena to die."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, the old man's tone was distressed: "How do you think I should explain to Little Anna that her mother will never come back?" ”

"She's a good subordinate, and I originally planned to get her promoted when she comes back and become the leader of the Guards Division."

"yes, that's a pity."

Irowitz also nodded slightly, he obviously knew Yelena as well: "She has a good talent, she will definitely be able to advance her divine will in the future, even if it is a 'calamity', she may break through, she is a general seed." ”

"But it's not a failure."

Patting the couch and motioning for Ilovitz to sit down, Admiral Akhalonov's tone was calm at the moment, like frost in the north: "If she's dead, it means that there is something there—something we need." ”

"But I don't really understand something."

Reaching out to pull his coat out from under the old man's buttocks, Irowiz sat down unceremoniously, his brow furrowed slightly, "Why do you have to explore these ancient ruins?" Although the technology of the previous era was indeed very high, according to the analysis of many relics, we have surpassed them in terms of source energy cultivation, at most, some civilian technology and biotechnology have not kept up. ”

"Because of Your Majesty." The old general closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty?" The First Knight raised his brow, and he subconsciously looked out the window, a ray of light in the depths of the Montasini Mountains.

A light that penetrated the sky and the earth, straight into the clouds, high in the sky.

The reason why Fort San Montasigny was chosen as the new capital, in the mouths of many of the inhabitants of the empire, is that it is located in the center of the empire, where it is the most comfortable and peaceful place to spend a pleasant life.

But in fact, the top of the empire, at least those close to His Majesty the Emperor, know very well that this is just folk rumors.

Fort San Montasini, once a military fortress on the edge of a remote mountain range, is now prosperous, but how could it have anything to do with enjoyment in the first place?

The reason why Asmod IX and four subsequent emperors chose it as the imperial capital.

Simply because this fortress is the closest to that 'ruin'.

Deep in the Montasini Mountains, the majestic tower called 'Babel' is about to be completed, because of the will of the Emperor, the top of this huge tower of thousands of meters high shines with brilliant light, it condenses the source energy enough to destroy the walls of any fortified city, but it only shoots towards the top of the sky, like a stairway to the sky, to the brightest holy day.

If you look down at the earth from the sky, you can see that the tower is located right in the middle of the Montasini mountain range.

The Montasini Mountains also happen to be an unusually neat 'circle'.

No...... And that's not all......

The entire Montasini mountain range, located in the center of the entire Ai'an continent, and the surrounding towering hills, are a single unit. And its shape will be very familiar to all lumberjacks.

Because, it's like ......

A giant tree, a stump.

"Is it His Majesty's will......

At some point, Ilovitz and Akhalonov stood by the window, looking at the towers and beams of light in the distance, and could not help but be silent for a moment.

Asmodee XIII...... His Majesty the Sun Emperor. The old admiral whispered to himself, "What Your Majesty wants to do, we courtiers always can't understand." ”

"Irowiz, you are the closest person to Your Majesty, you ......"

“…… Your Majesty has promoted me to the end of the world, and I deserve my life in return. ”

Shaking his head slightly, interrupting his friend's words, the first knight said calmly: "If Your Majesty doesn't say it, I won't ask." ”

"Whatever he asks me to do, I will do as long as it doesn't violate morality."

"Oh, you pedantic fellow......"

Akhalonov wanted to laugh at the other party, but suddenly, his face changed slightly.

The white-haired old man who looked like he was already drooping was in a solemn gaze, he turned his head and looked in the northwest direction, his gaze piercing the void like thunder, stirring the source energy: "What happened?" ”

"Is it a natural disaster? No, there has already been a natural disaster in that direction...... Is it an earthquake? ”

Irowiz's senses became even sharper, and he squinted slightly, hiding the swirling source energy circle in his eyes.

The First Horseman's brow furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "It's an earthquake—and a man-made earthquake!" The tectonic plates in that direction did not tremble - the barbarians of the Northern Ionian Mountains had a catastrophe powerhouse?! ”

"Or ......"

"Is there something wrong with the ruins?"
