Endless Silver Machine

The ancient aviation magic ship "Yuktrashil" crossed the border between the Bisi Empire and the Tebiri Kingdom at a speed that could not be captured by the monitor, and arrived at the royal capital where the situation has stabilized. Fortunately, "Yectrasil" does not require a dedicated airport used by aviation magic ships.

The vine tentacles and blood-sucking thorns that flooded the entire royal capital lost their magic supply and withered away after Professor Cocona cracked the mimicry magic equipment system.

Anjie and Charlotte are also here. It is said that they completed the search mission in the territory of the Gods a few days ago and took Tusi Kong's sub-ship to enter the border of the Tebiri Kingdom. The Tebiri Kingdom does not yet have the technology to monitor the core of light, so their "illegal entry" was not hindered in any way.

After entering the Tebiri Kingdom where PDA signals could be received, Charlotte first made contact with Lan Ming, who was staying in the royal capital, and then later they learned from Lan Ming that Aika had used the channel provided by Olefill Entered the Bisi Empire.

It will probably take years for Wangdu, which has entered the post-disaster stable period, to return to its original level of development.

After Hitomi constructed "Yectrasil", she went back first. Misty and Will stayed on the ship, Professor Ling and Cocona were responsible for staying there to monitor the two of them, while Aika walked off alone to "Yuktra Hill" and Lan Ming to explain the situation.

"In short, this is the current situation. We are about to leave for World Tree to wake up Wei Xi, and come here to pick her up now."

"Miss Wei Xi's matter is certainly extremely urgent, but now we also have equally important things to tell you."

Charlotte's tone was very serious, she was not deliberately joking with Aika.

Aika remembered that she had the same tense tone on PDA before, and had to temporarily put Wei Xi's thoughts aside and calm down to listen to her words.

"Now Augustus... To be precise, small-scale riots have broken out in various parts of the Bis Empire. The person who caused this riot is said to be Her Royal Highness the current Queen."

"Zi Ming?"

Aika still remembered that Lan Ming had told him before that her sister now sat in the highest position in the Bis Empire.

"Yes, just looking at the leaked video clips, it is indeed Zi Ming... but what on earth is that child..."

Lan Ming could not have imagined that Zi Ming, who was weak, would suddenly create such big news.

"We don't know the specific situation, but the video footage of Her Royal Highness the Queen's speech has also flowed into the Kingdom of Tebiri."

The video clips that leaked out from unknown sources seemed to have been shot with some kind of pinhole camera commonly used by spies. The scene was chaotic for a time, and the images and audio were blurry, but it was impossible for Lan Ming to misidentify his sister.

"Does Lady Inili know the current situation within the Bis Empire?" Lan Ming thought that there is a very reliable force around Aika. "Lady Inili is the center of the Bis Empire. Will she be affected by the current situation? Do you know anything?"

Lan Ming had slowed down his speaking speed as much as possible, but everyone present could see the anxiety hidden under the steady tone.

Aika took out the PDA according to her request. As long as it is in a place where the magic signal can be received, it can be connected to the central database where Inili is located through the PDA transformed into a magic tool by Professor Cocona.

"Why do you always think of summoning me when you need me?"

"Sorry, Inili, there are many problems that we can solve on our own so we don't want to bother you anymore. I will make up for you well after it's over." Aika clasped her hands in front of Inili, who was standing awkwardly with her hands on her hips and begged, " But the current situation is urgent, and only you can tell us the internal situation of the Bisi Empire."

Thinking about it carefully, most of the time I went to Inili to ask her for help. The actual time we spent together didn't seem to be as long as I thought. It's no wonder that Inili misunderstood Aika and regarded her as a "convenient woman". Show an angry look.

"Since you have made such a promise... I will tell you how chaotic the Bisi Empire is now."

So, Inili told everyone about the banquet that August was scheduled to host tonight, the absence of the first prince Liman Yiela, the protagonist of the banquet, and the "Declaration of Rebellion" issued by Queen Ziming Yiela.

"Let me show you the video that was broadcast live by the media at that time. This video was broadcast throughout the Bisi Empire at that time."

Yi Nili called up the live video recorded by the imperial media of Zi Ming Yiala launching a rebellion at the dinner venue, and projected it onto a curtain with the starless night sky as the background.

This live video was probably put under intelligence control after it was first broadcast, and is now left in Inili's central server. There was no discrepancy between the clear live video and the leaked stolen video, and everyone watched nervously until the end.

In addition to Ziming Yiela's speech that was quiet but made the listeners' hearts swell, her white dress, which allowed her to escape from the constraints of her wheelchair and looked like white lily petals, naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"The child's dress..."

"Oh oh oh! That princess made good use of the specially customized gift I gave her!"

Professor Cocona, who came down from "Yuktra Hill" at some point, also joined them. Looking at the image of Zi Ming Yiela controlling the white dress to activate some unknown power, she felt proud and satisfied. nod.

"Eh...Professor Cocona?"

"Cocona is actually here too..."

Lan Ming and Liuyin showed two completely different reactions when they saw Cocona.

"In short, since it has already happened, it can no longer be stopped." Inili briefly summarized the current situation of the Bis Empire. "Whether my granddaughter and her supporters will be suppressed or the old system will be subverted, we can only wait for time to answer this question. Problem."

"I know that kind of thing very well..." The difference between Lan Ming and Inili is that Inili only has some understanding of the empire's official combat power configuration, but the factional warlords composed of human hearts have only experienced it personally in the circle. Only then did Lan Ming know more clearly, "It's hard for that child's army to win this war. Minister Foston, who has full control over military affairs, is the famous 'Iron General', but from another perspective, he is a difficult person to adapt to. He will definitely not be able to change." He will switch sides for the sake of the child. Maintaining the existing order is considered a top priority for him, and it is very likely that the imperial troops stationed in the Kingdom of Tebiri will be transferred back for this matter."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess made a thorough analysis. Her Royal Highness the Queen probably initiated this kind of thing in response to the current war between the Bis Empire and the Tebiri Kingdom, taking advantage of the weakest military strength within the empire... But once stationed in Tebiri If the kingdom’s imperial army is transferred back to support, the disadvantages of Her Majesty’s army without unified command will be obvious..."

"I'll go back."

Just as Charlotte finished speaking, Anjie continued her words in a calm voice.

Anjie's words were very brief, and her purpose was very clear.

——Return to Her Royal Highness the Princess whom she serves. It was Anjie's wish from beginning to end, and it never changed.

"Sorry, I have to wake up Wei Xi first and bring back Lolo from the Nemesis Society."

Aika also expressed her attitude under everyone's attention. He is not the person who can always bring miracles to everyone. Not only Aika knows this, but the girls also understand this.

He is just an extremely ordinary boy, but he has shouldered everyone's hopes.

Whether he shouldered it voluntarily or the girls imposed their hopes on him, Aika truly shouldered it.

"Aika, just act according to your own ideas." As the core of this journey, Lan Ming took the initiative to relieve him of the burden of expectations, "My country can't just wait for you to save it. The royal family also has the consciousness to devote themselves to this. Therefore, the next step is left to me and everyone. Thank you for bringing me the courage."

Aika's figure was clearly reflected in the heterochromatic pupils. Lan Ming looked at him standing in front of him affectionately, and integrated all the emotions he had accumulated so far into this thank you.

With the help of Aika and the others, Lan Ming has received support from the Protoss Territory, and this time he came to the Tebiri Kingdom for alliance negotiations. Presumably she already has an idea about the overall situation in the future.

"I said I will help you until the end, because I am already your knight." Aika stared into Lan Ming's eyes with the same sincerity, "So, hold on until I come back."

In order to comfort Lan Ming, who had her hands behind her back and crossed her fingers uneasily, he raised his hand and touched her head gently.

However, this move made her eyes become even more moist.

Before Aika noticed it, Lan Ming quickly turned around.

"Um……"

Not wanting her crush to see her weak expression that was different from usual, she turned her back to Aika and wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes.

…………

In the personal room prepared for Liuyin by the Tebiri Kingdom, Aika saw Wei Xi lying quietly on the bed with her little hands on her chest. After learning the truth that Wei Xi was not dead, Liuyin released the ice coffin that froze her body.

"I'll go find the World Tree with you. One more person will give you more strength. Xiao Xi will continue to be taken care of by me." After hearing Aika's plan, Liuyin's attitude has always been very determined, "Besides, , you said that part of Setia Principality is now inside the World Tree, so I have even more reason to follow you."

"Well, Liuyin, please come with us." Aika turned to Professor Cocona and Inili who were surrounding the room, "Can Professor Cocona and Inili stay here to help Lan Ming?"

"Compared to the Bis Empire, the flow of information in the Tebiri Kingdom is much more blocked. Only Lady Inili can grasp the internal dynamics of the Bis Empire in real time, so I also implore you two to be my strength during this period."

"Since you said you will come back, it might not be a bad idea to stay here temporarily to assist my granddaughter," Yi Nili simply accepted Aika and Lan Ming's request. Perhaps Yi Nili and Lan Ming still have a relationship between them. There is a bond of family, "When you get to the World Tree, if you can't receive the PDA signal, there will be no use for me. Aika, if that's the case, you won't think of me anymore, right?"

"Even when I don't have anything to ask of Inili, I will always think of you..."

This was not a false statement to the resentful Inili, but the truth from the heart. It's just that even Aika can't figure out why every time he summons Inili, he needs to rely on her ability. It seems that there are too many coincidences.

"No!" Professor Cocona refused decisively, "That is the legendary super-mysterious World of Warcraft tree beyond the fifth level!"

"Professor Cocona, you can take me there as many times as you want. But if you don't stay here, Inili won't be able to appear here."

After modification, the only two PDAs that can summon Inili are Aika and Professor Cocona.

Of course, it is impossible to leave time for Professor Cocona to transform a third PDA that can summon Inili. Moreover, a PDA that can be connected to the central database of the Bis Empire can become a very dangerous thing if it is not properly managed, so so far, only the two of them have such a PDA.

"But didn't you discuss with that prince that you would destroy the World Tree after Xiao Xi wakes up?"

"Destroy the World Tree?"

"that is……"

Except for Ling, no one else among the girls present knew what Professor Cocona and Aika were arguing about.

Now that she raised this question, Aika didn't know how to answer her.

To be honest, at that time, he just temporarily drove away Liman Yiela with the idea of ​​delaying the answer.

The so-called destroying the world tree to save the world sounds like a good wish. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that Hitomi and other magical costumes that appear in the world will disappear because of this?

At least from Liman Yiela's words, Aika could only understand the answer this way.

If this was the inevitable outcome, Aika frankly admitted that he couldn't do it.

For this kind of unknown and contradictory problem, it is not how many assumptions you make here that will determine what should be done next.

"Professor Cocona, I..."

"Forget it." Probably seeing the problem that he couldn't figure out from Aika's troubled expression, Professor Cocona finally let him go, "No matter what, should we destroy it like the prince said? If you want to drop the World Tree that is the foundation of the world, think carefully before taking action."

After going around in such a circle, it seems that this is the only thing Professor Cocona really wants to tell Aika.

"Anjie, you can't enter the Bis Empire now, and it's even more difficult to enter August and return to Her Royal Highness the Queen." Charlotte, who had spent several nights with Anjie in the territory of the Gods, said mercilessly Pointing this out, "Unfortunately, this is the reality. So, wait until we are all ready before setting off together, okay?"

"Please lend me that."

"Eh?"

Xia Luo was stunned for a moment, then realized that what Anjie wanted to borrow was the Tusi Kong sub-ship.

"I can use that to enter the Bisi Empire, and then find a way to return to Her Highness the Princess."

Tusi Kong's sub-ship will not be detected by Magic Technology's monitors, and will not trigger the alarm even if it flies by without disguise. It is another matter to observe it with the naked eye, but human dynamic vision cannot catch up with the flight speed close to the speed of sound.

"But Anjie, have you forgotten? This is a technology from the God Clan's territory. Teacher Letika specifically told us to keep it a secret before we left..."

"It doesn't matter if you use it," Inili suddenly intervened between Charlotte and Anjie, who were at loggerheads, and said, "That's what Yuni said."

"Eunique?"

"It's me!"

Unique's cheerful voice came from Aika's PDA.

"That guy Unique actually modified this PDA without authorization so that it will automatically connect to the Gods' territory as soon as I appear!"

"Really...my PDA has become such an incredible thing..."

Not only does it house the "human saint" Inili Iela, but it also houses the "god girl" Unique. Thinking of this, Aika could only smile naturally.

"It is currently impossible for humans to understand the core of light fiber, but I have to respect Her Majesty the Queen's request. If you don't need to use it anymore, I hope you can press the red button inside the small cover on the left to activate the toast empty self-destruction program, so it can be kept secret!"

"Grateful."

Anjie bowed her head to the PDA where the Saint Lady and the Child Lady were staying and thanked her sincerely.

Basically everything that needs to be explained has been said, and Aika hugged the sweetly sleeping Wei Xi with both hands.

The personnel for this World Tree trip have been determined. Aika, Ling, Wei Xi, Hitomi, Liuyin, as well as Misty and Will, who did not tell Lan Ming about them, went to the legendary foundation of the world - the world tree "Yuktra Hill". Lan Ming, Charlotte, Anjie, Cocona, and Inili stayed in the Tebiri Kingdom, and Lan Ming should have settled them in during this period.

"I will come back as soon as possible. Before then, everyone needs to work hard."

"This is what I should say to you," Lan Ming, who had his hands behind his back, walked up to Aika gracefully, stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek lightly before he could react, "...such words , will it make you forget me and come back early?"

Aika was still standing there dumbfounded, but the girls around her had already exploded.

Charlotte was so shocked by Lan Ming's unpredicted behavior that her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish lacking oxygen. Anjie seemed unmoved, Cocona looked like she was watching the fun and didn't mind the trouble, and Liuyin was His face turned red with complicated emotions.

The silver wrist on his right wrist was as hot as fire, finally waking Aika from his trance.

When he came back to his senses, he recalled the warm and moist kisses Lan Ming left on his cheeks, and couldn't help but feel a little restless in his heart.

Lan Ming's goal was achieved. In this way, no matter what happens in World Tree, Aika will never forget her.

"You are the most impulsive person here. But this time I have no reason to treat you roughly, so I will use this method..." Lan Ming, who took the initiative to kiss you, also became coquettish because of this bold move. He pinched it and said, "...So, I must come back..."

"Thanks……"

Aika's head probably really couldn't function properly, so she responded to Lan Ming's words in a nonsensical manner.

Realizing that Aika was actually more nervous than himself, Lan Ming covered his mouth and laughed.

The air in the room seemed to be attracted to Lan Ming and Aika as the center.

There is only one person...

"Aika, are you ready to die to apologize?"

Charlotte was extremely angry and summoned the "Scarlet Blade Spiral", the inherited magical equipment of the "Ai Zein" family. The double-edged spear with spiral blades at both ends was completely determined to cut Aika in half on the spot.

"Wait a minute, what crime have I committed!"

"It is a capital crime to take away the princess's first kiss! Please die ten thousand times!"

"Charlotte."

But when Lan Ming called out his name with an oppressive smile, Charlotte had no choice but to put away the magic costume obediently.

"Tsk...be careful when you walk alone at night in the future."

Facing Charlotte's vicious curse, Aika felt a sense of relief.

When everyone can relax and fight over such trivial matters, probably all the unpleasant problems will have been solved.

Aika hopes to usher in "that time" one minute earlier, one second earlier.
