I'm in the Teyvat running group

Chapter 181 The Destruction of the Empire (Third update on Wednesday!)

He recognized that face!

That was the face that appeared in "At This Moment, Under the Same Starry Sky" in the Thousand Stars Chronicle!

Could this be Grammer? The Grammer from which fireflies were born?

Is it the Republic of Grammer or the legendary "Empire of Grammer"?

But judging from the ruins outside, even if this really is Grammer, it should have been destroyed in the war long ago.

In other words, even if this is the Republic of Grammer, it is certainly not the era when the Republic of Grammer was still waging war everywhere. And if this really is Grammer's home planet, then those iron cavalry would certainly not be on this planet.

Yes, if most people look alike, and girls rarely have the surname "Ge," then it means the men have the surname "Ge" and the women have the surname "La." Looking alike suggests this group of people is likely artificially created...

Suppressing her shock, Yunxiu stood up and said with a smile, "I came here because of my wife's illness..."

“Wife?” Lalan chuckled. “It’s rare to see someone who has awakened to this level. Come in.”

Lalan casually tore off the iron bars on the door and threw them aside, revealing the small room inside. Yunxiu glanced at it and found that the doctor was probably at the fourth or fifth ring level, and still showed no signs of being able to use magic.

It's not surprising, really. If they're all manufactured, their strength is probably about the same.

He led Ying through the door and into the room. Lalan casually pulled over a box and sat on it, asking rather casually, "What illness?"

"She's mute and can't speak." Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to use this excuse. Anyway, as long as Ying didn't speak, she definitely wouldn't be able to tell anything with her abilities.

“If it’s congenital, there’s no cure. Most congenital diseases are incurable.” Lalan looked at Ying with interest and said seriously, “Judging from your wife’s age, she should be only two years old. Why don’t you take her to live a good life?”

Ying really does look quite young. After all, in this world, one year is roughly equivalent to seven years in Teyvat. Judging from her appearance alone, Ying is not even three years old yet, which is about twenty-one years old in Teyvat.

After saying that, Lalan stopped and took out a strange device to start tinkering with. Seeing Yunxiu and Ying's pensive expressions, she said, "You are rare awakened species. You can try to find a solution in Tower City. If there is no solution there, I think it is unlikely that it can be resolved."

"Thank you." Yunxiu gave the device a quick evaluation, and its information was displayed.

[Four-Type Therapy Device] (Damaged): A medical device once distributed to the citizens of the Republic of Grammer, capable of treating some common illnesses.

Grade: C

characteristic:

[Primary Treatment]: Scan the patient's body and generate 1 to 3 bottles of medicine depending on the severity of the condition, which is no higher than grade B. After taking the medicine, the patient will recover.

This thing... seems to be one of the doctor's most important pieces of equipment, but repairing it shouldn't be too difficult for him.

"Doctor, I'm a mechanic. I can fix this for you. Can you think of another way?" Yunxiu's eyes lit up when she saw the thing. This thing was truly a godsend for this group of people who were at most B-rank at C-rank...

"Fix this?" Lalan laughed rather speechlessly: "I've already asked a lot of mechanics, but none of them can fix it. If you can fix this, I'll take you to 'Mr. Mo' in our town. At least he'll know who you should look for when you go to Tower City."

"Then let me give it a try." Yunxiu stood up and looked at the machine.

Lalan didn't stop him, but simply stepped aside, crossed her arms, and looked at Yunxiu with a mocking expression. Her plan was to wait for the boy to make a fool of himself and then take him to find Geler to get an explanation.

This thing was found in the ruins during my last adventure; it was relatively intact, but unfortunately, it hasn't been repaired since I brought it back.

Judging from the identification code above, this was not a common item even in the old world, and it is even rarer nowadays.

Yunxiu hadn't thought that far ahead. He could actually try to repair it; if all else failed, he could force it through with a weakening prayer; at the very least, he could use healing spells and magic circles to create something with similar functions...

"Let me see..." After careful observation, Yunxiu quickly discovered the problem: the power supply system at the bottom was almost completely damaged and missing a large number of parts, which were definitely not available here.

“You definitely can’t fix this thing,” Yunxiu said with a smile. “However, I do have a way.”

With a thought, several materials in his storage bag vanished, and energy gathered in Yunxiu's hand, where he cast the [Weakening Prayer] on the device.

In just a few seconds, the equipment transformed from a dilapidated and rusty state into a brand new one. Various strange characters and runes on the panel refreshed line by line, and a beam of light shone directly onto Lalan!

[Disease detected: Malnutrition, requiring high-energy nutritional supplements.]

The lid of the treatment device popped open, and three test tubes flew out, landing directly in Lalan's palm.

"This...this..." Lalan looked closely at the three test tubes in her hand, her face almost overflowing with shock. She glanced at Yunxiu, then at the treatment device. Yunxiu nodded in response to her expression.

She hesitated for a long time, looked at the embassy carefully again, and finally opened a bottle and carefully drank it.

"Ah...that feels so good," Lalan said with a satisfied sound.

"Now, I think I'm fixed up, right?" Yunxiu said with a smile. "Can you take me to find that 'Mr. Mo' now?"

Where are you from?

"I don't think this is important." Yunxiu tapped the table, and a drop of terrifying energy, the [Tear of Return to the Void], condensed in her hand. The massive energy manifested, causing the entire underground town to shake!

“My patience has its limits, and I have already shown my sincerity.” Yunxiu casually dispelled the magic in her hand and spread her hands, saying, “I have no ill intentions towards you, you should be able to feel that.”

Lalan was clearly terrified by Yunxiu's divine double-handedness. She didn't ask any more questions, but silently pointed outside, signaling Yunxiu to follow her.

Yingze also drew her Rocky Green sword and followed behind Yunxiu. Interestingly, these two moves didn't seem to surprise the others too much, perhaps because this place was prone to various disasters...

The three of them walked down the road, and after going up two or three floors, they came to a huge door. This door was indeed quite special. Although there were no guards at the door, Yunxiu could clearly feel several energy energies behind the door, which were quite powerful.

Four people at the sixth ring level were guarding behind the door, and in the deepest part of the room behind the door, there was clearly a seventh ring level being. According to the energy level classification here, he was probably around 3000, maybe even at the B- level.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding

Lalan knocked rhythmically on the door, and a screen quickly lit up beside it. A young man who looked remarkably like Greer asked, "Dr. Lalan, are you here to see 'Mr. Mo'? And who is this?"

“This person is very capable; he just helped me repair the equipment from the Old World,” Lalan said. “He’s the one who wanted to see ‘Mr. Mo’.”

"But……"

"Let him in." A voice came from behind the young man.

"Yes."

Creak—creak, the huge door slowly opened, and Lalan led Yunxiu and Ying through the door, but they stood still after entering.

The young man then led Yunxiu and Ying into a room, stood at the door, and gestured for Yunxiu to go in by herself.

It's quite hierarchical...

Yunxiu led Ying into the room, where they saw a woman sitting on the large bed—who looked exactly like Lalan.

He also looks exactly like that Grammer Knight who appeared "at this moment, under the same starry sky".

"Mr. Mo? Perhaps I should call you Ms. Mo? Or do you have another designation?" Yunxiu chuckled. "If I'm not mistaken, you must also be an android created by the Republic of Grammer, right?"

“So you do know all this…” Mr. Mo said, “However, I was not manufactured by the Republic of Grammer… I am not worthy of a number. If you wish, you can call me Mo 44.”

"Not worthy?"

“Yes, only those ironclad vehicles manufactured during the Grammer Republic era have serial numbers; we are merely defective products.” Mo 44 said sadly, “The Grammer Republic has been completely destroyed, but we defective products continue to be manufactured…”

"Why? How exactly was the Republic of Grammer destroyed? And why are you defective products?" Yunxiu asked, puzzled. "Does the legendary 'Grammer Empire' even exist?"

"exist……"

"!"

"I know you are an outsider. Can you help us defeat the 'Council' and shut down 'Titania'?" Mo 44 asked with a hint of pleading. "I have completely lost hope in this endless hell..."

“Then I need to know first how the Republic of Grammer was destroyed, and what happened to the Grammer Empire.” Yunxiu sat down with her arms crossed, gave Ying a look, and Ying sat down at the door with her sword in hand.

“Alright… I’ll tell you everything I know.” Mo44 began to recount the events little by little, and from these accounts, Yunxiu gained a general understanding of the situation between the Grammer Republic and the Empire.

The Grammer Cavalry did indeed emerge to combat the brooding insect plague, that's true, but the Grammer Cavalry's armor models weren't limited to the Firefly's "Firefly" model; there were also three others: "Crystal Bloom," "Shadow Bind," and "Scorching Dust," each with a different purpose.

In the later stages of the Grammer Republic, the republic's people, who feared the existence of Titania, and the parliament, which fervently supported Titania, began to split. The parliament's rulers, using Titania as a tool, established the "Empire" and waged war against the resistance forces organized by the people.

The council occupied the vast space city of the Republic of Grammer and recalled almost all of the three types of armored vehicles that were fighting abroad. Only the Firefly Legion was still fighting the Zerg swarm. For them, who originally controlled Grammer, this was enough.

In the ensuing confrontation, the armored corps with three Grammer cavalry units nearly wiped out the civilians and rebels.

However, at the last moment, a split occurred within the "Council," and the three types of Grammer cavalry of the "Empire" actually began to fight each other.

As a result, the council was completely destroyed in a massive explosion, while Empress Titania continued to build the Grammer's cavalry, following the established procedures.

However, for some reason, only the "Firefly" model was manufactured, and the combat power of the iron cavalry produced gradually declined, their abilities became more and more incomplete, and even the entropy loss syndrome was flaring up faster. Many Grammer iron cavalry did not live for more than three years (about twenty years in Teyvat).

Until the Grammer 44, the forty-fourth generation after the war, it was hundreds of times weaker than the Grammer cavalry of the Republic era.

The only good news is that most of the later-manufactured models regained their will, but most were slaughtered by the armor of the earlier models, and only a few survived.

"If that's all there is to it, you should be able to find a way to revive the Republic." Yunxiu pondered for a moment and asked with a puzzled look, "If the Parliament were completely destroyed, the Empress would have suffered greatly as well..."

“Early batches of Crystal Bloom and Scorching Dust models of armor are still appearing… Fortunately, they don’t appear at night, so people can only hide underground during the day,” said Mo44. “Moreover… the numerous hidden dangers left over from the Republic era have made natural reproduction impossible, and now human reproduction can almost only rely on cloning.”

After a pause, she continued, "Only by truly entering the 'Congress's' space station and completely destroying Titania can humanity be revived!"

Chapter 182 Yunxiu's Magic Book (First update on Thursday!)

"Excuse my bluntness, but even if I had the ability, you couldn't afford the price." Yunxiu shook her head and said, "Besides, we still don't have enough information."

"Is that so... But all of us androids want to do that," Mo 44 said sadly. "And we don't even know how many Firefly units are still around fighting..."

Fireflies...

Speaking of which, if we knew the current time, we could try to see if we could call the fireflies back.

Thinking of this, Yunxiu asked, "Do you know which era and year it is in the Amber Calendar right now?"

"Era? It should be the 2157th Era. We should be in the 28th year of the 2157th Era now."

"How many years is your Amber Period?"

"33."

Is that so...? Then it seems to have reached the late stage.

The flow of time during the Amber Period varies across the universe, ranging from 80 to 240 years (Earth year). One year here is approximately equal to 7 Earth years, which is actually 6 years and 9 months, or about 224 years.

It is now 28 years, or about 190 years. There are still 35 Earth years until the end of this era, which should indeed be the era of fireflies.

"Since the council can recall the other three types of armor, it should theoretically be able to recall the 'Firefly' series as well, so why not?"

“I don’t know…” Mo44 thought for a moment, but then quickly said, “There is a legend that among the iron cavalry created by Titania, there is a special model, which is her ‘daughter’. If we can find Titania, perhaps we can find a way to communicate with this special model.”

Well... it seems I really do need to go find this Titania.

The Collapse Iron Universe is an extremely absurd universe, meaning there is no Star Train. Only beings at the level of Envoy can travel between the entire universe, and even the least powerful beings must be extremely powerful Fate Travelers.

For example, the Yellow Springs. It's hard to say whether the Yellow Springs is actually a messenger, because nothingness doesn't necessarily have the concept of a messenger.

However, interstellar travel was impossible. After the Arilol VI's pioneering mission ended in the 2158th century, Himeko didn't even know if the car had been repaired.

It's highly unlikely that it is.
