Chapter 1052: Seeing Vanilla in Shadow City for the First Time

After taking this break, Little Crow rested at home for a week, basically falling into an endless cycle of eating, sleeping, and eating. Until my sister couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded me that there was still an unresolved vanilla problem, we finally I remembered that it was time for the stupid bird to set off to that world.

During these few days, Vanilla always stayed at home. Only on the fifth day did she follow her sister out to get to know what the outside world was like. It's hard to say how familiar Vanilla is with this novel place, but now at least she has learned how to use the bathroom and how to turn on the TV. In her eyes, everything around her is probably an unsolvable problem, so she just doesn't want to do it anymore. Don't bother researching why, just know how to use it. It can be seen that from the cautious and fearful day at the beginning, the child can now often show happy smiles. She is no longer so awed by this strange big family around her: maybe she finally discovered that everyone here is very kind. I still remember that in the first day or two, Vanilla's cautious behavior often made people helpless: when I sat down, I was afraid of getting my clothes wrinkled because the clothes were "borrowed", and when I ate, I just had to pick up the rice because there was no food in front of me. , because she was afraid that opening her mouth would make people hate her, she would even go to bed carefully when sleeping: she was afraid of crushing such a soft bed. She didn't dare to move or ask anything, and she lived cautiously in a completely unfamiliar environment. If Anweina hadn't taken care of her patiently and meticulously, I really don't know what would have happened to her, so my sister once mentioned Vanilla When I was there, I commented: What a heart-wrenching child.

Things are finally getting better now. At least she sometimes shyly asks us about things. This kind of initiative is a sign of integrating into the new group.

Anweina was telling Little Crow what to pay attention to when going out, and her sister was pulling Lilina to pack her luggage together: it was prepared according to the scale of poverty alleviation in Zimbabwe. Before setting off, they first had to go to Shadow City to ask people from the Space Control Center to help integrate a virtual coordinate transmitter into Little Crow's body. I pulled Vanilla. He mysteriously said to the little girl: "Today I will take you to a very magical place. You will probably see a lot of incredible things, but don't be scared."

Hear my words. The little girl immediately became a little nervous and twisted the ties in front of her skirt awkwardly: "Then... Do I need to learn some rules first? I heard others talk about it before. When going to a noble's territory, you must learn the rules, otherwise? Being kicked out.”

I was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Haha, that's not what I meant. It has nothing to do with the rules. The place I'm talking about is called Shadow City. It's the real capital of the empire. I should have let you see it earlier, but it didn't happen until today. Opportunity. That place is more magical than what you have seen on TV in the past two days, and it is very likely that you will encounter many strange races. I am afraid that they will scare you. As for the noble territory - you forgot, this place Our family is the largest noble family. If you are with us, what rules do you think you need to learn?"

Vanilla immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me shyly: "Well... you are all very good, very... good."

The little girl's vocabulary is not very rich. The only adjective used to describe us is good, but I was also very happy. I rubbed her hair vigorously to prepare her to pass through the space gate: For those who are using the Shadow City portal for the first time, maybe Will feel dizzy.

It is necessary to mention this by the way. Vanilla is wearing a light yellow dress today that is somewhat similar to the Azeroth style. We made this dress quickly based on her description. It is roughly equivalent to what a common girl in her world would wear. Little Devin and her sister also have similar clothes. In order to have better contact with the local people, we have positioned this event as a holiday outing, and the whole family has almost adjusted their mentality to going out for fun. After all, we have always gone out to fight, and it has been a long time since we have been exposed to such a "mission" that is not dangerous. The world of vanilla sounds like it should be an inconspicuous low-magic civilization. Lin Xue's prediction shows that the world is There is no Abyss II, no fallen apostle, and no threatening information has been found (of course, since there is not much information, Lin Xue’s judgment is also limited, and it is probably limited to binary judgments such as whether there are enemies or not), so I am not worried about the past. Who will I have a conflict with later?

The only thing that's a little uneasy is that Lilina still remembers her missionary mission, and she has already made up her mind to make Medivh's Raven God shine. I'm worried that she will go there and start a religious war or something like that: in the future It’s not difficult to imagine the moral level of that girl...

However, according to Vanilla's description, the world she lives in is in a state of mixture of various myths and stories such as primitive religions, ancestral gods, and new churches. This is somewhat similar to the chaotic era in human history when the true "church" has not yet been born. Almost every human group has its own way of believing in gods. With geographical isolation, each place has different myths and legends, resulting in religious groups that cannot be unified at all. There may be monotheistic religions, but they have never become mainstream. , if this is the case, then Lilina will be really happy, which means that she can easily find a corner to dominate the mountain and become the king...

In the center of the living room, the teleportation door opened. I pulled Vanilla with a nervous and curious face: "Okay, remember what I told you. If you feel that the scene in front of you is upside down in an abnormal direction after the teleportation, close it. Eyes, just a few seconds, now, walk through this door.”

Teleportation happens in an instant, and we have become accustomed to it, but Vanilla still closed her eyes tightly, and her little hands couldn't help but grab the corner of my clothes. I found that she was standing very steadily, obviously not affected by the teleportation, but she was very nervous. light. "Okay? Are we there?"

"Ha, okay, okay, we arrived at the station safely, you are adaptable well." I patted the little girl's head and said with a smile.

Vanilla carefully opened her eyes, then opened them wider and wider, raised her head higher and higher, and involuntarily whispered: "Wow--"

The exit of the portal is of course the Dimensional Hub Square of Shadow City. The most magnificent building complex in the entire Shadow City - the headquarters and command centers at all levels are right next to it. On the other side of it is the gorgeous temple area, which was newly built specifically to receive envoys from the Star Realm God Clan. Of course, under the auspices of Bingtis, the current ambassador to the God Realm, this temple area has been temporarily transformed into a small commodity wholesale market; The Dimension Hub Square itself is also a magnificent miracle landmark. The square that can almost be described as vast is paved with silver-gray alloy ground. Huge lines of light flow across the land. After several expansions, the center of the square is now the center of the circle. The entire hub has been lined up with a total of one hundred and twenty-seven hundred-meter-high teleportation gates. Each teleportation gate is composed of a large number of metal and crystal fragments suspended in mid-air. The fragments are connected by light, forming a set of slightly floating doorposts, which allows them to increase energy consumption under special circumstances to allow larger objects to pass through the door, making each door look more mysterious and majestic. In the center surrounded by all the gates of the world is the largest obelisk. This obelisk made of black and silver-gray alloys, psionic crystals and transparent refraction crystals is thousands of meters high, with each side long. It also reaches two to three hundred meters and has complex mechanical structures on it. The ghost energy shining with blue light flows in the gaps on the surface of the tower, pulsating like the blood of the building. At the top of the tower is placed one of the two largest sets of space replacement devices in the Shadow City, and the other device is placed on the home planet. On Gaia, that is to say, there is a tower exactly like this on the earth hanging upside down above our heads. The space replacement devices on the top of the two towers correspond exactly when they are activated at the same time. A giant space rift can be formed between Gaia and Shadow City, which is even large enough for any conventional warship to form a fleet and sail through. And since Gaia and Shadow City are both movable space entities, this flexible super The gate to the world can even be expanded under the condition of extreme output. It can be expanded to allow direct access to the planet fortresses parked in the Starship Port of Shadow City. This set of super devices is Sandora's bold creation. She believed that in the face of the cunning combat habits of the fallen apostles, our army's dispatch speed and anti-interference ability needed to be strengthened, so first she spent several months creating this gate. Within the empire, this gate will allow any of our army groups to complete instant teleportation, and even bring two or three planetary fortresses with it.

Without this set of devices, a fleet of that size can only go through the traditional world gate in batches, and the battleship must be charged by itself when jumping. The energy core of the spacecraft itself has limited instantaneous output, which will often cause delays. Compared with the instant activation of the "Twin Tower Gate", the time of more than ten minutes or even hours (for some star battleships) is quite obvious.

If it had been completed earlier, the Fallen Apostle's raid on the Empire's mainland would have definitely paid a greater price - unfortunately it was only put into trial operation more than ten days ago, and it has been found that many problems need to be solved so far. It is not that simple to put a huge precision equipment into full use.

Even the citizens living in the Shadow City are often amazed by such a majestic building complex, not to mention that the tallest building they have seen in their own world since birth is the three-story house of the mayor's house. She was taken to the street two days ago, and she kept exclaiming when she saw the high-rise buildings outside. Now she seemed to have no time to even exclaim. She only continued to raise her head, trying to find the top of the giant obelisk: But You can't find it, at least standing so close, you can't even see the top of it when you look up. However, the blue halo radiating from the top of the tower can be seen a little.

"Wow..." Vanilla whispered again and subconsciously grabbed the corner of my clothes. This huge metal building gave her an unspeakable sense of oppression, as if the whole world was about to collapse from all directions. This fully shows that this obelisk is a bit too thin, well, I have always thought so...ahem.

"What is that?!" Vanilla suddenly pointed at the sky and exclaimed. It seemed that she finally realized that the strange scenes on the other side of the clouds in the sky were not aurora, but another piece of land, which could be clearly seen on the clear zenith. Stretching mountains, rivers, oceans, another cloud layer, and vague artificial structures.

"Gaia, the mother planet of the empire, two days ago you saw a blue big sister projected in the living room to report on the work. She is the head consciousness of Gaia." I explained simply, because I have to explain more to this child. I'm afraid I don't understand either. Then she spotted something incredible: a giant metal ring structure floating in the sky nearby. "What is that?!"

My sister raised her head and glanced: "That is the command center of the Military Command. Heroic soldiers from all over the world gather there to wait for new orders from the empire, or to receive equipment quotas for their own armies. In addition, most of the dependents receive technical support and other support from the empire. Urgently needed help was also dispatched from the Military Command."

"I'm so surprised now. You haven't seen anything more exaggerated," Lilina glanced at Vanilla, "Have you ever seen a spaceship that's dozens of kilometers away? Have you ever seen a planet-sized fortress? And... "

"If you really get close to me, you won't be able to tell the size." I shrugged, then pointed to the guide. "That's the crown of the World Tree. There's a big temple below. Haven't you always believed that Dingdang is a god? That's the palace created by Dingdang's power."

Vanilla and Ding Dong exclaimed, "Wow!"

I quickly stuffed Dingdang back: What did this guy say in surprise! Could it be possible that she had forgotten that she still had a temple? !

Because Vanilla was attracted by the things around her, we were delayed in the square for a while, and when I was looking around boredly, I suddenly saw a familiar figure under the Gate of the World not far away.

Wearing a purple dress and a white soft hat, her bright blond hair flew into the air when she turned around - Yakumo Purple. She actually came to work honestly, and seemed to be directing her work with the folded parasol in her hand.

"Hey! Zi!" I said hello from a distance. The monster girl's ears were very good. She immediately turned her head and ran over when she saw me. With a happy expression on her face: "Oh, boss. Two more girls?”

Me: "...You guys have discussed this, right?"

I introduced Vanilla and Medivh to Yakumo Murasaki. The other person stayed at home all day and was lazy and sleeping. She didn't know that the famous Crow God had turned into a little girl and returned home. At this time, she suddenly showed a surprised expression. With a smile, he reached out and poked the little crow in the face: "So awesome. The crow turned into a god? Then can she be related to Wenwen?"

No one paid any attention to her. I even pulled Vanilla aside and whispered: "Don't get too close to this weird guy. She is evil. Even after selling you, she still has to think of ways to evade transaction tax..."

Zimei immediately raised her parasol and pointed here: "I heard it, this is slander, tax evasion is something only Reimu would do!"

I glanced at Vanilla: Look, she didn't deny that she would sell you.

"Speaking of which, what happened to my family?" Yakumo Zi suddenly frowned, thinking of something, and looked here dissatisfied, "I have lived with you for a while, why did I develop the habit of laying on the ground after I came back? Are you sleeping on your stomach?"

I:"……"

"And I actually found that her bag was stuffed with pet biscuits. She didn't greet others normally when she saw her. Instead, she would wag her tail first. When she was with Cheng, she would always make a little nest with her tail. Cheng Zuan always wants me to touch her ears before she goes to sleep. Recently, she often leads all the cats and dogs in the town to run around outside, saying that she is holding a training camp - what on earth did you do to my Blue? What is this?" Zi's eyes became more and more malicious, "Why do I think she has regressed back to before... No, not only has she regressed, it has become weird!"

Can I just state that the nine-tailed fox has been acting as a guard dog at home for the past month?

I felt that there was no way to explain this problem, so I could only laugh with Zigan twice, and said to myself that it was lucky that Qianqian’s training with Lan was not completed. If the fox came home and dragged Zimei to throw Frisbees every day, I wouldn’t be able to explain it. . Zi glanced at us and found that everyone's expressions were quite subtle, so she could only sigh: "Forget it, seeing that she seems very happy, I won't pursue it. But don't bully my Lan, she took the initiative to mention it. I want to go back and be with you. Especially you. I think half of her habit of eating pet biscuits is related to you, and I also saw a collar around her neck with your name written on it..."

I was finally completely defeated and fled with my family.

Soon we installed a transmitter for Little Crow in the research center. This transmitter was specially made to adapt to the strong energy environment in Little Crow's body. It applied the technology of Lost Shadow and received several cross-fertilizers. The improvement made by the crow magic expert can make it blur in the process of traveling through the void and merge with the little crow's body. This can completely avoid affecting Medivh's course judgment: after all, traveling in the void is a very accurate thing. , often as long as one key point of information is wrong, you will be thrown into God knows what world. After being fully prepared, the little crow returned to the form of a giant bird with a wingspan of 100 meters in the square, and then just like last time, he lowered his head and swallowed his human body into his stomach, then nodded with satisfaction and spread his wings. It means that he is ready to go.

Vanilla almost cried "Wow" when she saw that scene...

We installed a huge collar on the little crow's neck. The collar was also made with the help of the raven. It is similar to the manufacturing technology of the transmitter. It can be integrated with her energy state body. The bell on the collar is the crew cabin, sister. The adults led Anweina and Vanilla to stay there. I have to say that this is a very wonderful travel combination...

The transmitter has started to work. After receiving the order to set off, the little crow immediately jumped happily a few times, fluttered its wings and started running, shouting in the spiritual connection: "Medwen, we are about to set off! Goodbye, master!" Master, come to me quickly! Let's go!" She ran a few steps in the square, then raised her head and let out an unusually loud cry (definitely not GA), then turned into a burst of distorted light and shadow and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

A few seconds later, we got up from the ground, dusted ourselves off, looked at the rickety vending machines and billboards on the edge of the square, and wanted to cry without tears: This silly bird, her wings now have a hundred Mi, can't you stop jumping up and down before setting off? !
