A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

The office chair beneath her wisely carried the girl's weight forward, and the instrument that received the report obediently projected the report sent back by the golem, as if all the machines were her subjects. In front of the king, they each performed their duties and never slacked off.

Her sea-blue eyes swept over it, and she nodded from time to time to show her approval of the report's contents. Not long after, Femi comfortably sent the corresponding report to the workshop, and soon received Sera's response.

"I did encounter something interesting in the unexpected node. What do you think, Fimi?"

Her mother's sweet voice echoed and swirled in the vast interior of the observatory, with a softness that seemed to overheat the body. After a while, Femi expressed her thoughts.

"The nodes themselves have a certain amount of exploration value, and the information the indigenous people have about the nodes can also help us understand them better. For example, the descriptions of 'world bubbles' and 'ether anchor points' are quite interesting."

"Although these terms all refer to 'spacetime manifolds' and 'islands of stability', perhaps the intelligence they're hiding holds more valuable information. At the very least, it could be a nice addition to a tourist attraction."

Femi's remarks were pertinent, insightful, and conceivable, and they coincided with Serra's thoughts, except that the idea of ​​tourist attractions was... not so serious.

"I think the same as you. At least our astronaut needs to be retrieved before he can carry out a new mission. Besides, the production of the space-time steel body is quite time-consuming, so it must be recovered if it can be recovered."

With just a few words, the next goal was determined, and Sera's last syllable put the final stamp on a rescue operation across time and space.

[Special Node No. 2 has been given a nickname, and the information displayed in the Observatory is World Bubble Inca Republic.]

The following is "Prism Golem Dan's Second Report":

After three days of observation, I encountered the troops sent by the indigenous people here. Although they have certain combat capabilities, based on observation, they do not pose an absolute threat to me.

They were attempting to excavate and transfer the Steel of Time and Space. Due to the policy of negotiation without the prior use of force, I appeared and engaged in a conversation with them that yielded positive results.

They call themselves the Third Guard of the "Inca Republic" and are here to carry out the mission of bringing back the mysterious falling object and confirm whether it is an enemy attack.

I also explained to them some information about myself and my identity as an alien. It seemed that because it had nothing to do with Honkai energy, their leader, an "astropath" named Roland Inka, chose to accept me and told me a lot of common sense about this "world bubble".

(Note 1: Astropaths can be understood as a form of thought, a part of the spirit that has regained a physical form in the world bubble. They generally have good resistance to Honkai energy and are the high-end combat force of the Inka Republic.)

(Note 2: World bubble is their nickname for space-time manifold; ether anchor point is a nickname for a stable space-time manifold, which is actually the phenomenon of stable island)

The country called the Inca Republic, they guard the large passage called the "Waka Tunnel" and have been fighting a catastrophe that is about to sweep across the entire world bubble for half a century.

The catastrophe is related to collapse. The specific situation seems to be the evil deeds of a tyrant. The phenomenon is manifested in the continuously expanding collapse energy wall, which continuously transforms more land into the territory within the wall like a boundary marker, and finally engulfs the entire world bubble.

After arriving by train and visiting the fortress they built near the Waka Tunnel, I returned to the base station and wrote this report. I hope everyone back home will know that my current operations are going smoothly and I will soon go to the Republic's capital, Kika, to find out what's going on.

---

Not to mention how much turmoil Dan's report caused in his hometown, on the luxurious train to the capital of the Republic, Dan truly felt the demeanor of a country steeped in wisdom and rationality.

Harmony and equality, people are not proud of the violence they possess. What they are more willing to show to outsiders is their beautiful life. The universal concept of pursuing human happiness has obviously been deeply rooted in the hearts of the residents.

This reminded Dan of his birthplace. From the moment he was born in the hands of the doll girl, he had all kinds of understanding about his homeland and understood the way of tolerance passed down from generation to generation in the forest.

The forest allows every resident to pursue his or her own happiness, but does not allow residents to harm others for the sake of happiness.

What a country that looks like home. It’s just a pity that this is only a country belonging to humans and it cannot bring more living beings into it to build a paradise on earth.

The golem, who did not need tea or food, just sat on a wide chair, quietly watching the beautiful scenery outside the train window. It was a towering snow-capped mountain, which showed a leisurely silver color due to the change in altitude, echoing the sapphire blue of the sky and the fresh green of the ground.

Trees stand around a lake, their deep bodies blocking out the shimmering waves, making the visible part of the lake even brighter. On the sparsely wooded plains, scattered herds of cattle and sheep wander around leisurely, their heads down chewing, revealing a pastoral splendor.

"Is Mr. Dan enjoying the view outside?"

The voice of the temporary guide echoed in the luxurious room. After receiving the vacation mission, she took off the black armor that covered her whole body, revealing an exquisite face. However, in Dan's opinion, this was not important.

"Yes, it is clear that the scenery of the Republic is just like your souls, brilliant and radiant, revealing a benevolent harmony with nature."

"It's a good thing that Denmark sees it this way." The temporary guide laughed. "Once you reach the capital, I'm sure you'll see more beautiful sights and be deeply impressed by Kika."

Everyone is carrying the fancy sedan, and a few appropriate words of flattery will not cost much, but can gain good goodwill. While chatting with the temporary guide and calculating the remaining driving time, Dan couldn't help but have a bad impression of the Republic's technical level.

At this speed, for a journey of more than ten hours, I'm afraid that even if I run at a slightly higher power, I can be faster than this train.

While Dan was still approaching Kika on the "slow" train, an idol who was experiencing the local customs and trying to understand the feelings of ordinary people received a special task.

"Huh? The guided tour in a few hours is only for one person?"

The light blue hair was tied into a neat side ponytail, and she was wearing a cute outfit specially made for idol profession. The attractive "girl" asked a puzzled question at the request of the agency, but got even more explosive news.

"Ah? Visitors from outer space? Aliens?"

Shigure Kirara's head began to feel dizzy.

251. Aliens and Aliens

Speaking of visitors from outer space, the so-called aliens, Shigure Kirara, who calls herself a super-time and space idol, knows quite a bit about them. She herself has one of these strange creatures in her body.

This miraculous life form inherited from her comrade, the A-rank Valkyrie Nicola, not only saved her life during the Second Collapse disaster, but also brought her to this safe world bubble to recuperate.

"Is that so? I understand, but this was clearly an activity I was doing to build closer relationships with everyone. If this happens again, agents, you guys should at least schedule it two or three days in advance."

Shi Yu Qiluo said unhappily, and then received confirmation from the agency that in a few hours, the beautiful idol Qiluo Xing would meet the mysterious Dan at the train station in Yujika.

Dan didn't know what was going to happen in Kika. For now, he had a good impression of the Inca Republic. If his home allowed, he could ask for help from his home and do something to help the Inca Republic deal with the disaster it was about to face.

Now I feel like an alien diplomatic envoy who really came from outer space.

The pupils that are not pupils collect data about the surrounding environment, and the resulting otherworldly scenery is brilliant and beautiful, sparking passionate sparks in the magic-driven thinking, making it more aware of everything along the way and feeling comforted by the harmonious nature.

"Mr. Dan, the train is about to arrive at Kika. Please prepare yourself. Various items related to you will also arrive at the station at the same time. Someone will take you to sign for them later."

The temporary guide's words marked the end of a journey of more than ten hours. At the same time, the train gradually slowed down its pace, and passenger reminders were played in various languages ​​on the radio.

"Hello all passengers, this train is about to arrive in Kikka, the capital of the Republic. Please take care of your belongings and prepare to get off the train. I wish you a pleasant experience..."

At first, there were waves of shaking ripples that were transmitted to people along with the train, creating a sudden illusion of trance. Then, the completely stopped train opened its doors with a roar, showing the prosperous and refreshing scene of the train station to everyone.

The Prism Golem, Dan, bent over and walked out of the door for people to walk through, and walked towards the waiting hall along the station sign. His tall figure and strange limbs attracted many people's attention. Curiosity, fear, admiration and other emotions were mixed together, which explained people's first impression of him without any rationality.

To accept such an alien and heretical appearance, one needs a strong mind and courage, but it is precisely this appearance that provides sufficient persuasiveness for Dan's argument.

After all, things other than humans must have non-human characteristics. If they are completely indistinguishable from humans, that would be a big problem.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Dan?"

After waiting for a while in the waiting hall, Dan, who had been under the gaze of the passengers for a while, heard her pleasant voice as expected. He guessed that it was the so-called special person.

"I'm Prism Golem Dan, hello, beautiful lady."

Dan's voice is a calm and steady gentleman's voice, as if it is specially taken care of people's feelings. People who listen to this voice will always feel an unexpected contrast, and have a novel and favorable impression of Dan, and subconsciously leave the impression that he may be knowledgeable and polite.

Wearing sunglasses, with smooth ice-blue hair cascading down her back, and wrapped in a loose coat, the "girl" was fully disguised to prevent others from recognizing her as the trans-dimensional idol Qi Luo Xing.

What a special alien, it seems like its whole body is made of mirrors, and its body proportions give people an awkward feeling. If it weren't for the fact that it could still make sounds, I would have felt very uncomfortable.

Shigure Kirara thought to herself, and at the same time, inside her body, the real alien life form she named Nicholas silently conveyed some messages to its host, indicating its meaning.

First: I don’t know. Such an individual has nothing to do with its race, and its body structure is unknown and cannot be understood.

Second: It is a non-Honkai energy individual. There is not a trace of Honkai energy on its body. It can use Honkai energy as its life force and can sense that there is indeed some special energy surrounding Dan's body, but it has nothing to do with Honkai energy.

Dan's body surface was very smooth, reflecting the surrounding scene, including the shops, seats, pedestrians, etc. in the waiting hall. The same was true for Shigure Kirara who was nearby. And just inadvertently, the idol seemed to have discovered the subtle changes in the movement of light, and a fleeting magical light appeared on the edge of the tall golem's body.

"Well, come with me. First, go to the check-in counter to sign for your consignment. Then I'll take you across Kika to the parliament."

Shigure Kira's eyes hidden behind her sunglasses were filled with curiosity, but unfortunately no matter what emotions she had, she was now just an emotionless guide, responsible for leading a section of the way and introducing some of Kika's customs and practices.

But... I only felt it when it was almost over. Is this prismatic golem really interested in people's customs and habits?

Miss Shigure Kirara, a former A-rank Valkyrie, expressed her doubts about this. She felt a bit uneasy because of the inhuman atmosphere. The introduction to the scenic spot that she had memorized clearly in her mind was no longer as important as before and she found it difficult to speak it out.

The noisy atmosphere of the waiting room was everywhere, and the bright gaze undoubtedly came from Dan's appearance. Even if it was just a short distance, Shigure Kirara, who was walking around left and right, had the illusion that she was at a concert.

"Mr. Dan...is that so?"

The storage office specialist took a look at the disguised Shigure Kirara and the tall golem, maintained a subtle smile with professionalism, and led the two to the corresponding base station components.

The dismantled base station components lay quietly in the venue, without any signs of being touched. After only a preliminary inspection, Dan was satisfied to receive these replacement modules for trial use.

"Yes, everything is in perfect condition, with no signs of being touched."

The replaceable components suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where they went. Only Shigure Kirara, with the senses of an alien life form, detected the subtle spatial fluctuations.

"Well then, Miss Guide, please fulfill your duties. I am also looking forward to this meeting with the leadership of the Republic."

“Although this wasn’t my original destination, it still seems worth visiting now.”

Dan spoke politely, his expressionless and smooth face reflecting Shigure Kirara's figure. In the brief contact, it could not say that it had found out all of Shigure Kirara's secrets, but it could be said that it had at least grasped eighty or ninety percent of them.

Host and parasite, a very strange symbiotic relationship. It must have been detecting me just now. Since it has no malicious intent, I will not be on guard or mark it for now...

Miss Shigure Kirara, on the other hand, still maintained her curiosity and went further and further on the road of being a guide, not understanding the generation gap in technology between the two sides.

252. Cooperation intention reached initially

Sophia Henry Thoreau.

This is a woman with blue hair, wearing a slim-fitting long dress and a long, wide dark blue headband on her head. She exudes an elegant temperament that is tinged with rationality.

But more importantly, her identity.

The Speaker of the Parliament of the Inca Republic, in other words, is one of the top rulers of this country.

"It's our first meeting. You're even more different from humans than I imagined, Mr. Dan."

After leading Dan to the parliament, the super popular idol stayed aside for a while with nothing to do, because although she had the right to observe the subsequent exchanges, she did not have permission to participate.

This is an exchange between the world bubble and the outside of the world bubble. In the normal world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first contact with extraterrestrial civilization, so it naturally needs special attention.

"That's nothing, ladies. If you want to travel through bizarre time and space, you naturally need a special design with corresponding performance. As far as my design is concerned, this is the most suitable structure for time and space travel at this stage."

"Even when exposed to extreme environments, it can rely on its own energy and magic to reorganize space, thus achieving safe evacuation."

The tall golem explained calmly that although there was not a single sensory organ on its body, it could still make people feel clearly that they were being watched.

The Republic's Secretary of Defense, Ms. Darwin, like Thoreau, clearly recognized Dan's strange nature as an unman-made creature at the same time and place.

"I see. This is truly an amazing technology, Mr. Dan. Even though we have mastered the anchor points themselves, our spatial proficiency is limited to simple utilization."

Ignoring the terms that she didn't understand and understanding the reality of what Dan said, Thoreau's eyes lit up slightly. From this, she saw an unknown, technologically advanced, and benevolent existence that might be able to help this country.

"You are already far ahead of us in artificially reorganizing space, restraining chaos, and creating a civilized order."

"This is the achievement of the wise men. I am merely a practitioner of a technique," Dan said modestly. His incorporeal gaze gently cast upon the two rulers, exuding a warmth that allowed for communication. "So, ladies, what exactly do you hope to see? Please speak frankly. If I am able, I am willing to assist you."

"We do need help."

Ms. Darwin, who was in charge of national defense, answered. Beneath her flaxen hair, her bright blue eyes flashed with a stern righteousness.

"But before that, we would like to hear Mr. Dan's purpose for coming to this world. After all, this determines the basis for our future cooperation."

The golem's ten fingers were intertwined, and its strange limbs paused in an obvious gesture of thinking. After comprehensive observation, Dan came to the conclusion that even if it revealed everything, the world bubble would not threaten its homeland. However, in a sense, it was already a diplomatic envoy and would not tell everything obediently.

It can proudly think that the Inca Republic is nothing special, but it cannot be arrogant and look down on others.

"Survey." Dan explained his mission. "Go to an alien space node to make contact and survey it, establish a base station there, and report on what we discover so that we can conduct subsequent large-scale exploration."

At first glance, it sounded like a military investigation with a different rhetoric. However, Thoreau, Darwin, and Shigure Kira only raised a necessary level of vigilance.

If the inhuman creatures capable of time travel really wanted to launch a malicious invasion, no one present would think that the Republic would have any chance of victory. Perhaps they themselves possessed the technology to directly disintegrate the world bubble from the outside.

"But my original destination encountered an obstacle. The destination itself has a non-lethal defense mechanism, which caused my route to deviate and I encountered a navigation accident. After consuming a certain amount of energy reserves, I crashed here."

"Fortunately, all the equipment is safe and sound. I have already sent two reports to the forest recently, explaining everything I encountered."

"I believe that the corresponding rescue team will arrive soon in response to my report."

The plain words were filled with an obvious toughness, and the straightforward tone seemed to be chatting about ordinary family matters, but the content was enough to influence other people's decisions.

Minister Darwin frowned inadvertently, but did not say much. Instead, Speaker Thoreau nodded, indicating that he already understood Dan's situation.

It's similar to the information transmitted by the fortress near the Waka Tunnel, but with a few more details... It's hard to say whether this unexpected incident is a good thing or a bad thing. I hope there won't be any major problems in the future cooperation.

"I see. Then we will make preparations to welcome you all."

Thoreau did not reject the rescue team and began to communicate with Dan about the disaster that the world was currently facing.

"Also, Mr. Dan, you should also be aware that we are currently facing a major survival crisis. Half a century ago, the barrier of Honkai energy spread across the European continent. Now, it has isolated the entire continent, dragging a brilliant gem of the earth into a demonic mirror rife with evil spirits."

"According to our calculations, if it cannot be cut and eliminated, the entire world bubble will completely transform into a demonic domain within the next thirty years and be invaded by the collapse."

"Therefore, we hope to gain your help. By utilizing more advanced technology, we can perform a precise surgical operation directly on the World Bubble and completely remove the contaminated part."
