Baliu?
Tree people... shouldn't be allowed either, right?
Then exclude...
But if these two can't do it, then the others will definitely be unable to do it.
That's the Apis Cube, a modified artifact. You must have bloodline support to touch it.
Wait…bloodline?
"Tenize?" Torres almost screamed out the name.
Everyone was frightened by him, and the scene of letting His Royal Highness the Prince drive the boat appeared in their minds.
Although...theoretically...it's not impossible...
But let’s not do this…
Isn't it better to do it manually...
"There is no waste on the Pierre. You should have realized this at least." Ethan shook his head. "Your Majesty insisted on sending him on board. In addition to training him, he probably also had this purpose."
Poplar is indeed not Sarah's orthodox relative, but Poplar has also intermarried with Holy Oak.
So in theory, Teni is indeed qualified to touch the artifact.
"It depends on whether he wants to or not."
At this point, Ethan finally began to look sad.
Apparently, he could only lay out the plans.
He had no confidence at all that he could make that useless prince stand up.
Chapter 5 Touched by the Sea k
The floating island fragments were falling faster than Hitzfeld had expected.
After all, this thing has no autonomous consciousness, it just mechanically flies straight along the original trajectory. When its basic hardware is not enough to support the action, the only thing waiting for it is to fall into the sea.
Looking at the sun, Hitzfeld calculated its position and estimated that it should be afternoon.
At daybreak, she stood on the edge of the debris and looked down, but could not see anything. There was only a hazy gray fog. To be honest, even the sunlight looked pale and psychedelic.
The sun in the fog is always weird, and the halo seems to be filtered. You can look directly at things in the fog that would have blinded you before, but the price is that the light will be dispersed by the gray fog, creating a weird atmosphere.
However, the scene of alternating between two worlds did not occur as she worried - after all, they were at sea and flying in the gray fog. Considering that the gray fog was actually equivalent to a space channel connecting to the world of the evil god, she would naturally worry about this kind of thing.
The fact that no such clue appeared is because my estimation was wrong.
Hitzfeld held the pipe in his left hand, with his right hand hanging in front of his chest, looking at the vast fog and falling into deep thought.
No... this is not just something I inferred. I also heard Kus-Nian say it herself in my dream. She said that there was a fleet of undead that could come and go freely in this environment, and that's why they seemed so terrifying. This was definitely not her fantasy.
That might be a problem of height, she thought.
Height - Maybe the sky is too high to meet the standard of touching the fog. Legend has it that the highest sky is the dream world, and flying too high may make it easier to fall asleep at night.
Thinking of this, she felt ironic because she had not felt the danger of the ocean at the first time when she crossed the gray fog sea twice, but the first time was diving and the second time was flying.
"Good luck will always run out." Hitzfeld sarcastically said to himself, and planned to go back to look after the woman.
Xia Yibing had already woken up, but she knew there was nothing to eat or drink in this damn place, so she didn't get up and walk around to save energy.
"Aisun, come and sit down here." She was unhappy to see the girl dragging her injured body around there, "What did you go to see? This kind of thing should be done by me!"
"I even lost the white whale." Hitzfeld smiled. "I don't need hands or feet to drive the ice needles... I'll have to rely on you when I really need to work. Let me do this kind of reconnaissance..."
Because of her injuries, her voice sounded weak and muffled, and Xia Yibing's prepared words were instantly diluted.
"Where's Madeleine?"
At this moment, it would be too luxurious to do or think about that kind of thing. She deliberately wanted to save energy and changed the subject in an awkward manner.
"The situation is very bad." Hitzfeld's voice became low. "The high fever won't go away, and she's talking in her sleep... I don't dare to look directly at her dreams anymore. There are scary things in them."
At noon, she had already told Xia Yibing what she had seen in Madeline's dream, as well as all the causes and consequences, so Xia Yibing understood at this time that she was referring to the giant eye of the evil god that was sealed in the floating city of gods.
"Seven eyes...you eat two..." the woman murmured.
"I thought 2 should be bigger than 1..."
The underlying message is that if they are eyes from the same origin, that is, they both come from the evil god named "Ebu-Gesar", then there is no reason why the power of two eyes would be less than that of one.
"You think this is math?" Hitzfeld laughed.
She didn't roll her eyes or anything... For a moment, Xia Yibing thought she would roll her eyes, but she suddenly realized that the girl seemed to have never done anything like this before.
She is very polite and well-educated. She doesn't roll her eyes not because she thinks it is impolite, but because she simply doesn't have such a habit.
But…what if it’s another kind of eye-rolling.
Damn, why do I always think about these weird things...
"Are you teasing me on purpose?" Hitzfeld also realized that Xia was just teasing her for fun.
Conserving your physical strength is one thing, but if you don't say anything and just let the atmosphere hang, it will cause greater psychological and spiritual harm.
An optimistic and natural attitude can help those in distress to turn danger into safety. Hitzfeld thought that this was what Xia Yibing was thinking, and he actually admired her a little.
But corrections and explanations were still necessary. She counted on her fingers and said, "First, you can't be sure whether that thing has absorbed the power of other eyes... I think it is very likely. Even if I only faced it in a dream, I felt that it was different from the time in the cave."
The eyes in the cave are strictly speaking dead objects. They have no independent consciousness and the threat level is greatly reduced.
"Also, those lost eyes may have imprinted some more terrifying scenes... I can look directly at the one in the eternal night, but I may not be able to withstand the gazes of others."
This is a very scary and cruel fact - it's not that Hitzfeld wants to exaggerate the enemy, but - just use your brain and you will know that the evil god Ebu-Gesar, only a small part of its infinite life is sealed here, and for most of the rest of the time, no matter where it is or what it is doing, it must have seen many of its kind, that is, other outer gods of the void.
Just like the one in the Worm Grotto, the surface of its eyes is branded with another terrifying shadow: the Lord to whom all things are known and returned.
This ghost thing never really attacked them. It caused so much trouble to all of them, but in fact it didn't use even one of its clones. It might not even know about it. Everything just came from... they saw a reflection imprinted on the surface of the giant eye.
That level is not something that mortals can easily imagine, and the seven eyeballs are likely to be imprinted with different reflections of the evil god. There may even be a situation where one eyeball is imprinted with multiple reflections. Facing these eyeballs is no less than facing those "great ones" - God knows if they have any way to sense being watched.
"If your estimate is true, we can confirm our previous guess." Xia Yibing raised his eyebrows, "Its eyes are not common."
Isn't it? Just like a person has two eyes, he uses these two eyes to see things wherever he goes, and it is impossible for the left eye to see more than the right eye.
Even though his eyes are located where his ears are like some lizards, and are not connected to each other and can rotate independently, the image seen by his left eye will still be transmitted to his brain - he only has one brain, so in his opinion, the vision of both eyes is connected.
But the situation with the evil god Abu-Gesar is completely different. The scenes seen by his seven eyes are different, and the power and vision possessed by each eye are also different.
Xia Yibing believes that this may be because Abu-Gesar is not the evil god in traditional cognition - that is, it is not an alien driven by one consciousness. It is very likely to have seven different "brains" that process the images seen by seven eyes respectively.
"That's a bold guess." Hitzfeld smiled again.
"It's not impossible, is it?"
He reached out and held the girl in his arms, and the two of them snuggled together to rest. Their voices became quieter and quieter, and soon they both fell asleep.
……
At night, Madeline woke up thirsty and felt dizzy when she looked up.
I couldn't even stand up... My sense of direction was so disoriented, it was as if I had a severe fever...
She couldn't even feel her lips. There seemed to be a fire burning in her throat. Every piece of flesh and blood in her body seemed to come alive and beg for water! I want water!
This is no wonder. She hadn't drunk any water for almost two days and two nights. Her body functions had seriously declined, and her body's most basic survival mechanism had been triggered.
All the aftereffects came upon her at once. Not only did she feel dizzy, but she also couldn't see clearly the scene in front of her. Her hands seemed to be raised up to grab in the air, but it seemed as if they had never been raised.
It was this confusing feeling that she wasn't sure if someone was holding up her head.
A stream of cold liquid poured into my lips.
As if the dry yellow land was irrigated by spring water, Madeline no longer cared about anything else and tried her best to swallow the liquid.
Not much, but enough to wake her up temporarily.
When I opened my eyes again, the scene in front of me was much clearer.
She saw the girl with gray eyelashes. Hitzfeld looked rather disheveled at the moment, with her gray hair clumped together like kelp. But the shabbier she looked, the more it set off her pretty face.
The director is here too. Are they angels?
Madeline thought that Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing were also dead, and she suspected that they ascended to the kingdom of God together.
"You are lucky, this is fresh rain water."
Hitzfeld knelt there, resting Madeline's head on his lap, and fed her some clean water with his hands.
Seeing her staring at her, the girl tried her best to smile: "We are lucky."
Xia Yibing was very unhappy watching this scene.
"Can you talk?" The woman kicked her subordinate's butt. "You are so arrogant usually... You cause trouble for me all day long, but you are like this after having a fever. Are you pretending?"
"..."
Madeline felt that this must not be the kingdom of God.
Well, Miss Hitzfeld is a qualified angel, there is no doubt about that, but the director can't possibly... her relationship with Miss Hitzfeld must have been forced by her.
Xia Yibing didn't know that her words had changed her image in the minds of her subordinates, and continued to urge Madeline: "Can you speak?"
Madeline tried to speak, but made a whimpering sound.
"She slept for a long time, let her rest."
Hitzfeld looked up and glared at the woman.
How childish... He gets jealous even when he has such contact with other women.
"I'm serious, okay?" Xia Yibing said confidently, "You also said that if we fly lower and lower... it might trigger the mechanism of the fog and open a passage to another world... didn't you say that the Neon people can see through the fog?"
Kuss-Niang has certainly demonstrated that ability during that period of history.
Hitzfeld had nothing else to say. She lowered her head to Madeline and briefly described their current situation to her.
It may sound meaningless, after all, we can't control this thing, and how it flies depends entirely on luck.
But you have to be able to grasp your luck, right?
Maybe... She meant maybe...
Maybe Madeline could see through the world after the fog had changed, and then they would know whether they could jump at that moment.
……
At this time, Ivanria was near the coast.
With a twitching tremor, the Pierre conveyed a "boring" emotion to everyone in a very anthropomorphic way... It was completely paralyzed here and could not move.
Because of the anchoring, there was water seepage and oil leakage in some parts.
"How can you sail the boat like this?"
Outside the control room, Torres' loud voice suddenly rang out.
No one said anything to him this time. Instead, they all stared at the panicked man in the middle of the control room - the current situation of the Pierre was caused by him.
It was morning now, and because the matter of sailing was so important, Ethan did not delay. He went back and found Tenize, described the matter to him, and asked him if he could try to sail the boat.
Teni was secretly happy, thinking that you guys looked down on me before, but now you have no choice but to rely on me. He agreed excitedly, and then the test started in the afternoon.
Just from the current development, it can be seen that the result is very bad. He can touch the Apis Cube, and he can also use it to drive the submarine and sense the surrounding ocean world, but how should I put it... there are some things he can't control.
It's like some people can't learn to drive, swim or ride a bicycle even if you kill them. This may sound unreasonable, but at least for their dear Prince Royal, this task is too heavy.
"It must be a blood relationship!" Teni's face turned red. "She said she wanted to be with that... something related to the goddess! Aisuen is the Devourer! You can't compare me with her!"
"Then how does Director Imaar explain it?"
"Didn't you say that there was some kind of... connection between them? Telepathy? I don't... You can't blame me for this!"
"Okay, stop arguing." Ethan raised his hand to stop the dispute.
Now that the captain and the first mate are not here, he is basically the most senior person in the crew and has to be in control of the situation at all times.
"It's not a big problem... Your Highness can get familiar with it again. I'll give you 24 hours. Are you sure?"
"No." Teni's lips twitched, "I don't think I can drive this boat!"
"Heidegger is speaking for you...how can you react like that!"
