Chapter 253 Tower Relics

Looking at Celis who was so proud that she wanted to lift her tail, Lingling knew that she was so proud because she had finally learned some secrets of even the "all-powerful Sister Ling".

Even if Ling Ling thought about it a little, she could understand what these opponents wanted to do and what means they would use.

There is no other reason. It is mainly because similar experiences have happened more than once or twice in the past, and Lingling has become accustomed to such intrigues.

However, in order to take care of Celis's feelings, Ling Ling still said softly,

"I'm really curious, why is that?"

Celis enjoyed the cooperation of Ling Ling. She tilted her head back and hummed a few words before whispering,

"The 'Tower Society' has found something in the Sage's hometown and is calling people from the media to come over. It is said that it is key evidence that can bring down the Sage - of course, the latter part is speculation.

"Hmm, by chance, I am one of the invited media reporters. I will be able to witness this historic moment!"

Obviously, Celis wanted to show off the last part of the sentence, but the first half of the sentence attracted Lingling's attention. After hesitating for a while, she said,

"Lingxi Laboratory?"

"what?"

Celis was slightly stunned.

"Nothing." Ling Ling shook her head. "I just didn't expect that an old place would be turned over and over like this. This must be an antique from thirty days and nights ago."

"Yeah, isn't the Sage also an old-fashioned person?" Celis said casually, "But I don't have any opinion about the Sage, I just think she is very stubborn and insisted on coming up with the ground tower plan..."

"haha, really?"

Lingling smiled without comment.

She hasn't appeared in public for a long time, and the sage in the rumors has become a hunchbacked old woman.

Even in many promotional materials of the "Tower Society", the Sage is portrayed as an old witch who is unwilling to lose power.

The Tower Club is a non-governmental organization that has emerged in the last two days and nights. Due to the open atmosphere of the Federation and the autonomy and independence of each suspended tower, this force has grown like mushrooms after a spring rain.

In just two cycles of day and night, it has become a force that the Federation cannot ignore.

The Tower Society advocates the civilization form of suspended towers, and attacks the ground tower plan proposed by the Sage. It may even be that it was established because of the proposal of the ground tower plan.

Four days and nights after Ling Ling completely gave up her power, her opponents finally appeared. She was not surprised by this, but felt that it was a little slow.

As for Ling Ling herself, if it weren't for the ground tower plan, she wouldn't even show up in the parliament. It's not because she hates being in the spotlight, but because she feels there is no need to interfere.

After finally being freed, how could he possibly return to the cage again?

"Oh, let's not talk about her. Oh, yes, the department manager said that I can bring a family member with me as an employee benefit." Celis slapped her head and said, "Sister Ling, do you want to go with us? This ancient city from three thousand years ago is really amazing!"

"Go to the No. 1 ground tower?" Ling Ling was slightly stunned, "This..."

She wanted to refuse, but then she thought it had been a while since she last went back.

I vaguely remember that the last time I returned to the No. 1 Ground Tower was ten days and nights ago. I went back to pay tribute to Sister Xueer.

I heard that the ruins of the tower behind had been converted into a tourist attraction, so Lingling never set foot on this tower again.

She didn't want to destroy the precious memories in her heart, so she let the tower from the past stay in her mind.

However, Ling Ling's real hometown, the dilapidated settlement of barbarians that had been buried in natural disasters, was where she would go back every time day and night changed to clean up and restore everything to its original state.

"Well, are you going or not? Are you going or not?"

Celis looked at Lingling expectantly. On the one hand, she wanted to give this employee benefit to Lingling, and on the other hand, she wanted Sister Ling, who had taken care of her growing up, to see that Celis was no longer little Celis, but an adult.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Ling Ling raised her hand and scratched the tip of Celis' nose. This was a habit she inherited from someone else. "Oh, I didn't expect that my adopted daughter would still remember an old woman like me after she grew up. It's not easy."

"Sister Ling is still very young! How can she be an old woman... Forty-something is still considered young!" Celis explained quickly.

Looking at Celis who seemed a little flustered, Lingling smiled without saying a word, but a trace of vicissitudes flashed in her eyes.

......

"Achou, this is...your hometown?" Su Yiyao stared at the scene in front of her in amazement, and Luo Xue beside her had a similar expression.

"It's half my hometown... right?"

Luo Xue collected her expression, looked up at the light of eternal day in the sky, confirmed her position again, and nodded in disbelief.

"It seems... it is."

An ancient tower-like building that reaches into the sky is tilted and inserted into the ground, filled with the atmosphere of vicissitudes of time. But what is rather abrupt is that the tower is covered with colorful banners, all of which are...advertisements.

There were various advertisements, and Luo Xue could not recognize some of the words on them, but they were definitely not normal words. In a trance, Luo Xue thought she had returned to her hometown.

But from the familiar tower, Luo Xue could recognize that it was the suspended tower that had lost power and fell to the ground after she dismantled the natural disaster engine.

Even the gap in the Scourge engine was obvious, although it was also hung with a lot of inexplicable banners and slogans.

Not only that, in front of this suspended tower, Luo Xue saw an even more bizarre yet familiar scene.

"Door, ticket?"

A conductor was drowsily leaning against the ticket booth and sleeping. He looked up and saw Luo Xue and Su Yiyao, but turned over in annoyance, as if trying to dissuade the two potential passengers from disturbing his rest.

At this time, in order to avoid attracting attention, Luo Xue and Su Yiyao used their magical powers to conceal their figures and faces, so they did not attract the attention of the ticket seller.

“It seems to be a passé tourist attraction...”

Luo Xue curled the corners of her mouth. She also noticed a detail: the banners on the tower were quite old.

However, perhaps because the ruins of this tall tower had some commemorative significance, Luo Xue could sense that a formation had been set up around it to resist natural disasters in order to protect the fragile tower body, which in turn saved the banners from being ravaged by the disaster.

"I want to go in and take a look..." Su Yiyao said in a low voice.

Although Luo Xue's reaction was strange, it was certain that this was indeed the place where she had been born. Wouldn't it change a lot? "Luo Xue sighed to the sky.

In fact, what worried her more was that this tower seemed to have been there for many years. Perhaps more than a hundred years had passed in the post-apocalyptic world.

Even, if we speculate further, it may be a thousand years...

Because of her previous experience in the world, Luo Xue was mentally prepared, but at the same time, she had a vague sense of worry in her heart.

If a thousand years really had passed...she would most likely not be able to see Ling'er again.

Before leaving, Luo Xue only taught Ling Ling the most basic breathing techniques, and she had no time to teach her more.

The biggest limitation of the Breathing Technique is that it is impossible to break through to the Soul Condensation Realm, it is impossible to condense the spiritual orifice, and it is impossible to become a true cultivator.

As for innate masters...three hundred years is already the limit of their lifespan.

Luo Xue's face showed a hint of worry, and this subtle change quickly caught Su Yiyao's attention.

However, Su Yiyao did not ask. She looked at the dilapidated tower. It seemed that Achou showed such sad emotions after seeing the tower.

In this case...In order to help Achou get over her sadness, she must go to the tower to find the answer.

Thinking of this, Ling Ling immediately took a few steps forward, intending to go straight through the ticket office and enter the tower.

She didn't know what a ticket office was, and had never seen a tourist attraction.

In the world of immortals and warriors, with Su Yiyao's strength and status, no one dared to block her way.

Seeing this, Luo Xue quickly reached out to stop him, then turned around and apologized to the ticket seller who was awakened and had a face full of resentment, and said,

"Excuse me, is this place open to the public?"

"..."

The ticket seller frowned and after trying hard to decipher, he finally understood what Luo Xue said.

"One thousand six hundred credit points for one ticket," the ticket seller turned his head and glanced at Su Yiyao, "children are half price."

After hearing the ticket seller's words, Luo Xue was stunned for a while. Why did he sound like he had a heavy accent?

However, Luo Xue soon realized that it was probably because the time passed down from her era was quite different, and the language passed down orally had changed, which was normal.

Thinking of this, Luo Xue felt a little depressed again.

Could it really be that a thousand years have passed?

"Do I need to pay money to enter this place?" Even if Su Yiyao didn't understand, she understood it clearly. She took out a spirit stone and slapped it on the ticket seller's desk, "Just take it. No need to give me the change."

The ticket seller was about to get angry when he saw this, but soon he realized that the stone the other party took out seemed somewhat extraordinary, so he immediately picked it up and examined it carefully.

After looking for a while, the ticket seller took a breath and looked at Su Yiyao in front of him with a bit of flattery on his face.

The quality of this jade, although it has not been carved, is worth at least 100,000 credit points. The other party took it out so casually. Could it be... the child of some big shot in the suspended tower?

Well, who else would come to visit this shabby place except those big shots who have nothing better to do?

There are not many opportunities to leave the suspended tower and travel on the ground, and not many people would choose this remote place.

Therefore, there is not a single tourist here for several months. The occasional ones are all fools who come here to see the so-called hometown of the sage.

In fact, the spirit stone that Su Yiyao took out was nothing at all. It was just an ordinary spirit stone. Of course, it could also be exchanged for enough mortal currency.

However, in another world, it is treated as another rare item and is equally valuable. It has to be said that this is a wonderful coincidence.

As the saying goes, money makes the boss. For the sake of the jade, the ticket seller's attitude soon changed.

He respectfully led Luo Xue and the others to the entrance of the tower, carefully opened the hatch, and then carefully instructed,

"By the way, after you two enter the tower, it's best not to go to the seventh or eighth floor. It's quite dangerous there. I have to continue to watch over the gate, so I can't go in with you."

Seven or eight floors...

Hearing this, Luo Xue looked thoughtful.

Isn’t this the location of Lingxi Laboratory?

The ninth floor is where the core of the suspended tower's Scourge engine is located, which has long since sent her to the sky to blast the deep-space behemoth. Apart from that, there are only seven or eight floors left as the top floor.

But...what's so dangerous about Lingxi Lab? Did something happen afterwards?

With doubts in her heart, Luo Xue nodded to the goalkeeper, then took Su Yiyao's hand and walked in.

The conductor returned to the ticket booth and took out the jade with great joy. He wanted to continue admiring it for a while, and then his colleague who was taking over the shift came over.

"Aaron, what are you looking at?"

My colleague came over curiously.

"nothing."

The ticket seller Aaron quickly put away the jade and thought to himself, is it time to change shifts so soon?

"Tsk, I don't think what you got is anything good." The colleague sneered, and then said, "I'll take your shift for the next few days, you can go back and have a rest."

"So soon?" Aaron was slightly surprised. "Shouldn't it be a few days?"

"To be honest, a few important people will come to this place for inspection in the next few days. Tsk tsk... They specifically asked me to accompany them. You can go back first." The colleague said proudly, and then glanced at the vote counter. "It seems that no one has come here in the past few days. You are happy to have free time."

"..."

Aaron opened his mouth and wanted to say that there were two people visiting inside.

But because they didn't use credit points to buy tickets to get in, and they didn't have time to buy tickets, if this colleague knew about this... they would definitely be in trouble again.

After thinking about it, Aaron gritted his teeth and said,

"Yeah, it's pretty leisurely."

"Okay, you go back and take over after the big shots leave." The colleague took Aaron's seat without any hesitation, and then said, "Remember, we are swapping shifts, not me taking your shift."

"...Um."

Aaron touched the jade in his arms. Anyway, his harvest today was rich enough, at least one year's salary, so he didn't care about the gain or loss.

When Aaron left, the colleague's expression instantly changed from playful to serious.

He looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out his communicator and whispered,

"Captain, I'm already at my position. Look... OK, OK, I'll be there right away. Is this the Lingxi Laboratory on the eighth floor? No problem!"

After putting down the communicator in his hand, the colleague looked at the direction where Aaron left with concern. After no figure appeared for a long time, he walked to the hatch of the tower ruins, secretly opened the hatch and walked in.

"Hehe, after I finish this mission for the Captain... the 'High Tower Society' will definitely accept me in. By then, there will be no need for me to be an insignificant, low-level member of the 'Ancient Monuments Association'!"
