Chapter 1117: Odysseus' secret mission


Accompanying Senna Gina to Skate City was just a drop-in. Our real mission here was to find the old Empire Commander Odysseus who was gradually recovering. In fact, according to common sense, as an officer, Odysseus should take the initiative to find his own emperor to report, instead of us to take the initiative to respond, but I was idle and bored, and automatically operated in the home star facility There is always something to do, and Odysseus has not fully recovered. He can't leave the Arctic for the time being. In order to start the next work as soon as possible, I naturally don't mind going to visit it myself. Of course, the main reason is ... it hurts when I'm idle.
We have left the city of Iceknife, standing on the inaccessible gravel wilderness more than ten kilometers away from the city, Aurelia and Arayer have released their invisibility. The former "looks" at the direction of the ice field and is listening. The cold wind blowing from the ice field fluttered her wings and hair slightly. It is located on the border, does not enter the ice sheet, and has layers of mountains blocking it. The power of the cold wind has weakened a lot. It can be said that it is the last relatively "warm" place in the extreme north. After the weird pressure zone of the "Storm Wall" is the territory of the Giant of the Storm, the northern icefield that mortals can hardly step into, the signal of Odysseus is coming from that direction. According to Aurelia, the signal is very unstable. It seems that ... was badly hit.
"I can only determine the approximate location, I'm afraid he hasn't reorganized all of his information," Alleria finally stopped "listening," with a third of doubt. "I don't know which part went wrong. He seems to have been seriously injured. I watched him sink into a dormant state. At that time, all commanders were intact ... The problem must be the tens of thousands of years later, I fell asleep. period."
"Go to him. Regardless of the injury, heal it first," I said slowly, looking at a bright silver line at the end of the sky. Then he turned around and looked at the two half-dragon girls behind him. "I heard that after crossing the storm wall, the temperature will drop to an incomprehensible level for mortals. Do you want to follow?"
Sagina hesitated. The smooth scaly tail dangled involuntarily due to her mood swinging, and accidentally hit a cold stone on the ground, and suddenly stunned. Saying bitterly, "But I don't want to die halfway, just go back to the city of angels. I'm worried about being reproved by Lord Dragon God."
Do not. The soft dragon was born to be blamed. You don't have to worry about it at all-but I still didn't say this sentence, just glanced at Sona, the other party made a determination, and whispered a few words. The body was covered with a pale golden halo: "Let ’s go, if you ca n’t even bear this low temperature, the revival of the half-dragon people will not have to be considered-Sabina. Do n’t be bitter, not because of recent For a while, she would become Miss Jiao without worry. "
"No!" Saina's tail stretched straight. Then I put a shield on myself.
After a short space teleport, we went straight to the border. And stop in front of a strange and weird spectacle: the storm wall, the legendary test and barrier set by the storm giant for mortals.
The storm wall is a layer of endless twisted air curtain. It divides the ice field and the outside into two worlds. Over this layer of twisted air, the big ice field in the snow and ice is in front of everyone, looking at the road in front of me. I couldn't see the thickness of the barrier, and carefully touched it: "Well, it looks like a layer of water strider."
"This is a barrier fixed by an eternal technique," Aurelia saw the essence of this thing at a glance. "This magical function is very single, it is used to hinder air flow and heat exchange. Without it, I am afraid All humans here will be swallowed by the cold wind. Odysseus must have subconsciously created this in a state of sleep to imprison his incarnation of the storm giant ... by the way, this magic is actually invisible, This twisted light curtain is just an identification layer covering the outside of the magic array. Its purpose is to let mortals see where the barrier's cordon is to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in. "
I nodded pretending to understand, and stepped forward.
It feels like ... it ’s really like crossing a layer of soft and wavy water with almost no obstacles. This layer of twisted air really has no protection at all, its role is only to weaken the cold air from the ice field. After crossing this barrier, I felt as if I had suddenly come to another world, and the oncoming wind was a bitter cold wind that was not on the other side of the barrier.
The temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees at once. Under the foot was hard frozen ground, facing the cold wind of Ling Ling. There was only a layer of air barrier that seemed to be absent, but the two sides were completely opposite. A few people wouldn't care about this temperature change, but I still rubbed my hands subconsciously: "Wow, I know why this place is called a life-limit zone."
"It's so cold !!!" Despite having the strength of the Dragon God, Sakina jumped in place, exclaimed in a low voice, and then looked at her tail distressed, "I feel the tail is frozen and hard, if How nice to have clothes for the tail ... "
"I heard that the Goodell family is the only mortal race that lives behind this storm wall," said Lin Xue. "They are gifted by the giants of the storm and can ignore the cold wind here. The deeper the icefield, the lower the temperature and the storm The more fierce, the Goodall royal family according to their strength and status, the more core members live closer to the throne of the storm giant-I'm surprised, the more I hear this race is wrong, can stand the depths of the ice field below minus Baidu The weird low temperature for the time being doesn't say, what do they eat in this place? "
"Maybe ..." Qian Qian suddenly pointed at a whirlwind not far ahead, "they don't need to eat ..."
The whirlwind blew, getting faster and faster. No one noticed when the gust appeared, but it didn't seem to be a natural product. Our attention was drawn to it, and we watched it sweeping around Ice debris and snow on the ground gradually formed a fuzzy humanoid shape in the core, after a few seconds. The whirlwind gradually came to a halt, and a crystal clear "ice sculpture" formed by broken ice and snowflakes appeared in front of our eyes, and we could tell that this was a strong male.
"You are the nobles mentioned by God."
From the body of "Ice Sculpture" came the voice mixed with the crystal slamming, this weird creature took off his hat and saluting us-but he did not wear a hat, so he put his half head down and put it on his chest instead. Hat, "Come with me, the incarnation of God is waiting not far ahead."
Aurelia nodded to me, signaled that she also received a letter from Odysseus. The strange ice sculpture in front of me was the messenger sent by the latter: the messenger was really quite non-mainstream.
"Are you Goodell?" Lin Xue looked at the other side curiously, his eyes couldn't help dangling from the half of his head on the chest, "What's the matter, press your head back first, look at the weirdo Yes. "
"Yes," said the crystal-clear Icebreaker, clamoring, mending his head. "Sorry, the Goodells are always not used to the manners and manners of real people. When we appear outside, we rely on rigid illusions or nagging. You are the first strangers to see our true face."
"It turned out to be an elemental creature ... Um, I seem to understand what happened to these states in the north. After a long time, they were ruled by a group of elemental creatures. It seems that Odysseus has a lot to explain to us. Clearly. "Lin Xue patted his head and followed the icebreaker who was clamoring for a walk. Several of us looked at each other and followed.
The Goodells who led us walked quickly. And as he walked, he dropped the dregs of ice. He didn't have to go too far to grind all the crickets. Then the other side apologized to us and summoned a small whirlwind again. Extracting crystal icy debris from the nearby ice and frozen soil to repair their legs, repairing and explaining: "The Goodells are good at the power of snow and storms, but they are not very accustomed to sports, if they do not have to maintain a barrier The control of mortal states and states, we won't even step out of the barrier halfway ... well, let's talk as we go. "
We followed behind this weird elemental creature and asked him as he watched the dross drop, "Yes, what's your name?"
"Goodall, we're all goodall," said the Icebreaker, clamoring.
"You maintain a loose country outside this barrier ... is this what the Storm Giants mean?" Lin Xue asked curiously, then pointed to the Icebreaker's body and reminded, "So what, your right hand fell off. "
"Oh, oh, no effect, no effect-the giant of the storm? The people outside did call our God that way, and indeed he ordered us to establish order outside the barrier, but that was just to maintain one thing, to maintain it Resources from the outside world, the Goodells themselves are not very good at this. We have always used smarter beasts outside the ice field to complete this work. Later, mortals came to the ice field, and the gods gave us knowledge, established order, and Collect tribute with mortal hands. "
I couldn't help but remember the legend about Goodell that I heard before: This loose and powerful nation built a loose country to establish the borders of the ice field. The requirements of the city-states were all kinds of weird tributes. They maintained this with the power of the Storm Giant Situation, but no one knows exactly what they want these tributes: after all, the giant of the storm is only an elemental creature, the elemental creature does not need physical tributes, and the Goodell seems to be revealing the secret.
I don't know if it's intuition. I became interested in their strange behavior: "What are you maintaining?"
The Icebreaker stopped and said for a few seconds, "A seal can only tell you so much. Specific things, only God knows."
The other party didn't seem to continue to explain, and I wouldn't ask more: Anyway, Odysseus was about to wake up completely, and the other party would definitely tell us everything.
We advanced in the ice field for about half an hour. The further forward, the cold wind in Ling Ling became stronger, and the snow began to flutter in the air-ice particles were mixed in the middle, and the temperature had dropped to minus Baidu. It may even be lower. This temperature is obviously not the low temperature that the planet can naturally produce. There is only one explanation. We are approaching the power range of the storm giant. And just after turning a small cliff, a vaulted frozen building suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
If this is the palace of Goodell's "Royal Family". Then it is too ... shabby.
The vaulted building is only a few tens of meters square, and its shape is a bit like the igloo of the Eskimos, but it is larger and flatter-the second characteristic should be to resist the howling cold wind. Around this igloo, we didn't see any other man-made traces, and we couldn't even see the second Goodell, everything was so simple and obtrusive. There is a big gap between the expectations and the expectations, but the icebreaker leading the way pointed at the igloo door in front: "God is inside, please come in."
Lin Xue spit his tongue at me: "How high can the thing made by elemental creatures be?" Then we stepped into the igloo, we followed, and finally followed Sha Jina and Sona, who could not open their eyes.
The igloo was as humble as expected, in fact the building had no structure inside except the shell. The only setting in sight was a set of crystal clear tables and chairs in the center of the room, and a two-foot-square crystal cube was placed on the table. The cube is projecting a blurry image.
As soon as Sha Jina came in, she ran to the corner of the room. Take out a few pieces of charcoal to prepare for the fire: finally there is no cold wind here, and she and Sona can finally warm a little.
"Audemusius? How did you become this?" Aurelia "surprisingly" looked at the crystal cube on the table in the center of the room.
"Ha? Is this really Odysseus?" I was completely surprised, pointing to the crystal on the table. "Isn't this a projection device?"
"Because of some unexpected circumstances, his subordinates can only maintain very low-intensity activities for the time being," suddenly a thick and powerful baritone came from the crystal box. "I'm very sorry, my subordinates could not report to the City of Angels in the first place. My subordinates have learned everything from Aurelia. I salute you, His Majesty the Emperor. And Lord Vanna, Lord Leiji, very Glad to meet you again. "
"Uh, hello," I said embarrassingly. It seemed rude to talk about the other party as a projector just now, but since the other party already knows most of the situation, it also saves a lot of trouble to communicate. I heard Aurelia said that I felt that something was wrong with you. Now it looks like ... more serious than expected, what about your body? "
"Please rest assured that the subordinate's body can be repaired soon. Now this is only to minimize the disturbance of the seal. The subordinate is maintaining the operation of the system and cannot transfer too much power outside the system."
"Seal? System?" I suddenly felt as if the other party had a lot of things we didn't know, not even Alleria, "What do you mean?"
"The seal, the seal of the heart of the world, the world heart of the capital universe is preserved in the far north," Odysseus's voice rang out. "This is a secret task. Only three people knew it at the time, Her Majesty, Lei. Lord Ji, and his subordinates ... "
"Now only you know, Sister Chen Qian and I ... that is, your ancestors, have lost their memories of that year," Lin Xue said as he pulled me to the table and sat down, then all of a sudden Jumped up, "Wow! It's so cool! Is this really made of ice?"
"... Goodall is an incomplete creation and elemental creature. They don't know much about races other than themselves," Odemius' voice sounded awkward. "The subordinates just woke up, and they were so surprised. It feels incredible to maintain the state of civilization tens of thousands of years ago. "
"Ten thousand years ago?" I keenly noticed a word, "that is, these Goodells were born before you were dormant?"
"They were created by their subordinates, and this is also part of the secret mission," said Odemius slowly, "responsible for hiding the heart of the world, as long as the heart of the world does not leave the world until the situation stabilizes, the mission will be finished."
The heart of the world ... the heart of the world ... these four words echoed in my mind, and then stunned, the other four words jumped into my mind like lightning: the fallen apostle!
So far, the only thing I can think of that is related to the heart of the world and also related to the empire is the fallen apostles. Only they will continue to collect the heart of the world. Only they are planning to use the heart of the world to To complete their unspeakable "great cause", but I have counted so much that I did not expect that in this world, in a world completely separated from the fallen apostles, I would hear such a message, which ... logically makes no sense !!
This world is the same snapshot, and it is the situation on the eve of the empire's collapse. For this currently closed universe, the fallen apostles are completely unknown. Odysseus cannot know that his compatriots will become fallen apostles. , Not to know that one day he must protect the heart of the world from the fallen apostles, then what is his secret task ...
When my heart moved, I looked at Lin Xue.
"This is the extremely secret that Master Lei Ji told before the mother star fell asleep, and the specific reasons are not clear to her subordinates ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But she made it clear that she must avoid a dark future and never let the world The heart falls into the hands of any possible enemy. "
"The current status of the subordinate is to complete this task."
Odysseus added.
I quickly calmed myself and organized what Odysseus told himself. Obviously, he knew very little because the prophet could not tell others what he saw, but one thing was already certain: in On the eve of the split of the home star concept, the chief prophet in the fifteen-day zone, that is, Lin Xue's previous life, "Lei Ji", had already foreseen the birth of the fallen apostle. It is also possible that she was not sure of the situation of the fallen apostle, but at least Knowing that the heart of the world would be used for a dark and dangerous project, she informed her emperor and secretly gave Odysseus an extremely confidential task, which was to hide the heart of the world-this There is one detail that attracts attention: Odysseus's mission is even classified to the point where he must be kept secret from other Apostles of the Spirit, not even Aurelia!
In other words, whether or not you know the cause of the fallen apostles, at least at that time, Lei Ji has felt that her compatriots will no longer be trusted ... (To be continued.
