Escorting the Mystery ManStar Map Draftsman I: Federation War

Book hub · English text. Dawn Lucius is male.

The main city of Sok City is a towering structure, the upper half of which is hidden in the clouds, the sun of the galaxy where Gyaly Planet is located lazily painting the building light yellow, the clouds leaving irregular shadows on the building like fresh paint that has not yet dried, the bottom of the building appears to be a fully enclosed cylinder, above which a bridge curves outward, supported by unpaired piers There, until the building of those deep into the ground after the building is connected, the bridge disappeared. And from the place where the bridge disappeared, there are several huge rectangular pillars stuck in the soil, the Sok City surrounded by a circle, the pillars against the direction of the Sok City below, there is still partly unburied in the soil, looks like a sink without a lid, or inside is charged with energy cables. When the two walked to a large pillar, Sandra picked up a stone and threw it inside, nothing happened and then she buried her head and walked inside.

Sok City seems to have become an empty city, imagined Ashton Federation garrison and Prince Burt’s troops encounter, bullets flying and shells exploding whoosh sound, mixed with the chest cavity was shot through the shout, here but there is no scene in the play, now Sok City, but like a plague in the quiet night took away all Sok City, instead, is like a plague that took away all life in the quiet of the night like a slaughter and quiet. Dawn Lucius walked behind her, he felt the pain in his chest intensify again, walking down the shuttle boats when he felt the pain in his skin. He felt the pain in his skin as he walked down the shuttle boats, he felt the pain in his organs behind his ribs as he walked near the closed security fence, and now he couldn’t tell if it was his skin or his internal organs that were hurting, he tried to swallow, his saliva sliding down at the base of his tongue, as if it were like the rocks he threw into the river as a child, the rocks used to test the depth of the water, Dawn Lucius swallowed to test Exactly where it hurts, he paused, not noticing exactly where the saliva flowed, and did not test exactly where the pain was.

Dawn Lucius took a deep breath, he felt his head was gradually becoming heavier, his neck could not hold its weight anymore, he took irregular steps to follow Sandra, with the current situation, if and Sandra got separated, then not to mention return to Earth to see Stacean Lucius, leaving this place are not sure. Dawn Lucius to tight Dawn Lucius had to raise his head with his teeth, staring dead at the back of Sandra’s head, kicking his steps haphazardly in the air. “Wait for me ......” as they stepped onto the bridge, Dawn Lucius was panting heavily, as if his body couldn’t hold up to the idea that he was going to move forward. Dawn Lucius tried to call out to her, but he no longer had the strength, and there was a stabbing pain above his eyes, and his eyelids closed on reflex.

“You wake up.” Sandra went to him and knelt down, shaking his arm.

“Let’s ...... take a break.” Dawn Lucius let his head droop as he spoke, his arms spread out on either side of his body, the backs of his hands on the ground, his fingers slightly bent upward, like a turtle about to die on all fours.

“You’re too badly injured, plus, malnourished and under rested.” Sandra pulled Dawn Lucius’ shirt away to look at it, and after covering him up she added. “Why don’t you wait here for me?”

“No......” Dawn Lucius shook his head and turned his hands over to prop his palms on the ground, holding his body upward for some distance, the brief rest restoring him to some strength. “You’re going to leave me behind.” He said looking up at Sandra.

“Nonsense, when did I ever leave you?” Sandra looked as serious as if Dawn Lucius was damaging her reputation.

“Not before, maybe they left me behind this time?”

“What am I leaving you for?”

“Maybe you find me annoying?”

“You do seem rather annoying.” Sandra gave him a blank look as she unloaded her gun and placed it on the ground, leaning smoothly against the railing. “Why are you in a hurry to get back to Earth?”

“There’s my son.” Dawn Lucius smiled as she looked sideways at Sandra, who was leaning in the same row as him.

“Do you miss him a lot?”

“Hmm.” Dawn Lucius took a deep breath, thinking of Stacean Lucius, he felt like the air was full of the smell of cinnamon blossoming at the end of August, Dawn Lucius took another deep breath, his heart grew a meadow, Stacean Lucius was chasing butterflies on it with bare feet, he looked at Stacean Lucius happy, smile Unconsciously haloed at the corners of his mouth, and the lively Stacean Lucius stepped on his heart a pain, even the tears in his eyes blurred his vision he did not notice.

“How tall is he?”

“This high, I guess.” Dawn Lucius raised her hand above her head, sliding her sleeve down and the device embedded in her skin on her arm slipped out.

“I’ll help you get back.” Sandra sensed the change in Dawn Lucius’ mood and she added, pointing to the device on his arm. “It’s called a Star Source, it’s a Datheon thing, you’ve been chosen by this thing, you’re a Star Map Draftsman.”

“It doesn’t matter, I just want to see my son.” Dawn Lucius retracted her hand and shook her head after a quick glance.

“Okay then, get up.” Sandra got up and tugged Dawn Lucius’ hand to pull him up, the moment their hands clasped, Dawn Lucius felt a softness and warmth spread through his throat, and when he looked at Sandra, her eyes subconsciously averted, and Dawn Lucius stood firm as she added. “Let’s go find a way to get back to Earth.” After saying that, she walked in the direction of the tallest building in Sok City, and Dawn Lucius followed.

The closer the bridge was to the main building, the more traces of the war began to show up. There were bloodstains on the ground from dragging wounded soldiers or corpses, scattered shoes that looked like they had fallen off when the heels of the corpses rubbed against the floor, weapons were missing, as if they had been deliberately taken away, and it was not clear whether the people who did this were Strath people or Ashton people. Sandra moved closer to the bridge railing, her body lowered and felt forward, Dawn Lucius bent down and lowered his body shape more difficult, his body is now like a persimmon tree that has survived the winter, if it is deliberately kept low, it may not be able to stand up, he raised his gun a bit.

After a long and vigilant rush, the two finally arrived at the building’s main entrance, with no information about the building’s name and no soldiers or security personnel guarding the door, which had been blown up beyond recognition, so the Strath people must have been blocked when they hit the place and later chose to enter the building by violent means. Lucius took the lead and yelled, and even though he wasn’t strong enough to make the yell loud enough, it echoed for a long time through the halls filled with ships and shuttle boats. When he turned his face triumphantly to look at Sandra, Sandra gave him a blank stare, and she checked the weapons in her hands before walking over to Dawn Lucius. It didn’t look like an inhabited place, but rather like an exhibition hall with a collection of advanced ships and shuttle boats, or a private parking garage for some rich businessman. Except for the engine matrix, most of the ships were not equipped with gun systems.

“Do you know how to drive?” Dawn Lucius asked as she excitedly trotted over to Sandra at the sight of so many vehicles.

“No.” Sandra replied without a smile.

“You lied to me.”

“What do you mean by lying to you?”

“You definitely fly these ships, you just didn’t want to tell me.”

“You’re stupid.” Sandra heard Dawn Lucius’s words, suddenly stopped in his tracks, Dawn Lucius did not react then directly into her body, Sandra did not move, she stared dead at Dawn Lucius, which in turn made Dawn Lucius a little embarrassed, he backed up. “I say, what’s the use of these things will open?” Sandra finished with a long sigh.

“How is that useless?” Dawn Lucius raised her voice as well.

“Can’t start the Star Bridge, all will open and also can’t return to Earth.”

“But the difference between will drive and not drive is very big ah, if you will not drive, we know there is no need to go inside ah, find the solution to open the Star Bridge, we also do not know how to drive the ship, then what to look for?”

“What’s the use of knowing how to fly a spaceship if we don’t find the Star Bridge?” Sandra asked in exasperation.

“But if you can fly the ship, isn’t this thing halfway done? If you can fly it, you could have at least told me about it, what do you have to lose?”

“Being halfway successful and being successful are two different things, and being halfway successful is not being successful.” Sandra was even more angry.

“What the hell.” Dawn Lucius said as she cradled her gun hard under her cackle and turned her face to point at any of the ships. “Isn’t there a step to this thing? If the first step goes well, then that step goes well and you can say ’We found the ship, all that’s left is to find a way to start the Star Bridge and get home! If you say that, won’t that be a boost to our morale? Isn’t that a good thing?”

“What’s so good about that? So according to you, if I can’t drive, there’s no morale?” Sandra glared at him.

“Not really ah, that is, you say out will open ah.”

“What kind of logic is that? So if I tell you I don’t know how to fly a spaceship, but we continue to look inside this building to find someone who can both fly a spaceship and turn on the Star Bridge, isn’t that a morale booster too?”

“That’s two different things, if you really say that you’re a liar.” Dawn Lucius didn’t think there was such a thing to say, and gasped in exasperation.

“Don’t bother arguing with you.” Sandra regained her gun and headed for the stairs at the other end of the aisle.

“Where are you going?” Dawn Lucius shouted after her, and when Sandra didn’t respond, he looked around and chose to follow at a fast pace as well.

The building’s electrical system has been artificially cut off, the emergency lights flickering light with the ear-splitting sound of electricity, like the night was temporarily dragged up to stand guard the soldiers cursing endlessly broken words, in the thirteenth floor of the empty corridor east and west, the two stood in the stairway for a moment, after not hearing the sound of living people, then continue up the stairs. At the beginning, Sandra took Dawn Lucius to do a careful search of each floor, as you climb the floor higher and higher, the two people will just listen to the noise at the entrance of the stairs, if there is no suspicious things, the two people will be unspoken to climb up, Dawn Lucius now the question is, Sandra in the end to find what is, if the space port to open the star Dawn Lucius’s anger at her added another layer, he wanted to go over and tap her on the shoulder to make her talk, if not understand, he would not climb up with her, he now feels like a puddle of meat in the tin, almost cooked as hard as.

“There’s no point in me continuing to crawl with you if you don’t tell me what to look for.” Dawn Lucius said as she stared at Sandra.

“Stop it, you can’t find a way out without crawling.” Sandra’s tone didn’t sound that bad.

“We’re a team now, the goal is to be unified and transparent, you don’t even tell me, I don’t crawl.”

“You’ll know when you find it.”

“No.” Dawn Lucius was trying not to slam the gun in her hand on the ground, then angrily forced the question. “Tell me what to look for and we’ll keep climbing.”

“Gee, I can’t tell you clearly.” Sandra should have had a flash of apology on her face at this point, and if she had tucked back the hair that had fallen across her face and gently placed it over her ear, then Dawn Lucius would have been embarrassed to be angry, right? “What the hell?” Sandra yelled, and other than that one sentence, the preceding conversation was all in Dawn Lucius’ imagination.

“Nothing.” Dawn Lucius jumped out of her imagination and replied with a panicked gulp.

“Staring back at me in disbelief, are you trying to get me to carry you?” Sandra asked, staring dead into the air behind Dawn Lucius’ ear with both eyes.

“No.” Dawn Lucius denied, he noticed Sandra face loose a strand of hair, sweat from the roots of the hair, at this time has been in the strand of hair shaking on the slightly, if Sandra really go to gather that strand of hair will be like, Dawn Lucius thought about the thought, involuntarily smiled.

“What the hell?” Sandra was even angrier than earlier, slamming the gun she was carrying down heavily on the outside of her thigh. She was going to say something, but when she looked at Dawn Lucius holding back her laughter, she was so angry she didn’t know how to speak, and after a long sigh she turned sideways to look at the other end of the hallway.

“Let’s keep climbing.” Dawn Lucius ninja smiled and opened her mouth.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Where did I get that?”

“You were just, staring at my back and laughing, what exactly were you laughing at?”

“I ...... was like this, it occurred to me that if we didn’t find the device you said, then we would be trapped right here, for that matter.” Dawn Lucius finished feeling a little embarrassed, this statement and he just laughed at nothing directly related, Sandra also saw.

Sandra didn’t say anything, she stared dead at Dawn Lucius.

“Okay.” Dawn Lucius pointed to the hair on Sandra’s face and scratched her nose again as she continued. “I was just thinking about the way you put your hair together.”

Hearing Dawn Lucius finish, Sandra froze for a moment, then gave him a blank look and said. “Boring.” After saying that she quickly climbed upstairs.

Dawn Lucius did not look at her back this time, he chose to look at the back of Sandra’s head, and after climbing a few more floors still did not see any living thing, the two stopped at a certain level to discuss, it is clear that Prince Burt brought so many people to fight over, until now did not see any people, Strath people would not disappear into thin air, from the beginning of the descent to the ground, Gyaly Strath soldiers are still somewhere in the Gyaly Planet, if not busy killing, then busy plundering. The two of them combined, if the current way layer by layer search, not only consume physical strength and time, but also may not be able to find, why not take the initiative, create some sound to draw people out, anyway, if it is really and Strath people face to face fight, he two also do not have any chance of winning.

“So what’s your method?” Sandra asked after the two agreed to use the method of luring the snake out of the hole.

“Blow this up.” Dawn Lucius continued, pointing to the window. “The explosion can be heard inside and outside the building without affecting the stability of the building while making it easy for us to be spotted.”

“Yes.” Sandra unhooked the explosive from her body and handed it to Dawn Lucius, tipped her chin in his direction and said. “You do it.”

“I’ll do it?”

“Yeah.”

“Then how come you’re not the one to do it? You’re most familiar with this stuff, right?”

“I’ll cover you.”

“Well, I can cover yours, too.” Dawn Lucius didn’t take what Sandra was holding.

“Hurry up.” Sandra threw a stream of explosives in front of Dawn Lucius, and after he reflexively held it, he had to dutifully go to the window and set it up, and when it was ready he returned to Sandra and patted her on the shoulder, and when Sandra turned her face to look at him he spoke. “I don’t know what this time will lead to, but thank you, thinking of helping me get back to Earth.”

Hearing Dawn Lucius say that Sandra didn’t know what to answer for a moment, she squeezed the butt of her gun before speaking. “No need to thank me, you are my mission.”

“Before you press the detonator, I wish you well in your mission.” Dawn Lucius smiled.

“What does this mean?”

“What?”

“What do you mean by ‘blessed’?”

“You said this, oh.” Dawn Lucius then understood Sandra’s question, he pursed his lips and continued. “In our culture, friends wish each other well, that is, they wish in their hearts that their friends will get their wishes, that’s probably what it means.”

“Oh.” After hearing Dawn Lucius finish, Sandra gave Dawn Lucius a look and continued after a quick roll of her eyes. “I also wish you the best of luck in returning to Earth.”

Dawn Lucius pressed the detonator, and the sound of the explosion and the scattered air reached both of them almost simultaneously, the ear drums like a family of bees just moved in, children banging pots and pans and jostling, Dawn Lucius felt that he was pressing Sandra’s body, he braced himself on the ground with both hands, so that his upper body first away from Sandra some distance, his feet numb Too numb to help. Dawn Lucius pushed Sandra’s shoulder behind his side, asking if she was hurt. He saw Sandra’s lips move a few times, but heard nothing, and the buzzing in her ear drums had not abated. Sandra sat up from the ground, her head buried between her knees, her arms tightening around her legs, her backpack heaving, she was in much better shape than Dawn Lucius, who crawled over to the side wall, and after a short rest at the base of the wall, he moved up with his shoulders against the wall, landing on his buttocks and falling hard on his back.

“How are you doing?” Sandra asked as she leaned her head on her knees and turned her face to look at Dawn Lucius.

“It’s okay, legs are numb.” Dawn Lucius shouted hard, which could barely hear himself, and he then asked. “How about you?”

Sandra did not answer, she blinked, Dawn Lucius guessed that she should be fine, Sandra buried her face back into her knees, took a few deep breaths and then crawled in the direction of Dawn Lucius, her left hand still seemed to be bleeding, Dawn Lucius lifted his left hand and shook it, indicating that she should not move, Sandra looked at his hand, then at his Sandra looked at his hand and then at his eyes before nodding and lifting her right hand to prepare to continue to crawl forward. At that moment, a pair of Strath soldiers hurried out of the elevator, carrying guns and alertly searched the entire floor again, and then without a word, assisted Sandra and Dawn Lucius into the elevator and took them to the top floor.

After Sandra and Dawn Lucius were left at the entrance, the soldiers who helped them up ran behind Prince Burt and said something briefly, Burt didn’t look back, he was staring at a sealed door in front of him, a few Strath soldiers were making a final check of the explosives laid out on the door frame and lock, and when they were ready, they retreated behind another group of soldiers who had already Shields were set up. And Burt, his hands are still behind his back, looking at his toes, both feet alternately tapping the ground, like a beat for a childhood song with a high rhythm, as the song entered the high chorus, tapping faster and faster, until the calf muscles are too sore to keep up with the rhythm, he suddenly stopped, the footsteps abruptly stopped at the same time, the tension in the room like a thick, melting The tension in the room is like the darkness of the night, making people feel like they are being swallowed by something.

“One last question.” Burt walked over in the direction of the door and continued after stopping about three steps from it. “Open the door and it will keep you alive, although there will be little dignity, if you don’t open the door, then don’t live.” After saying that, Burt stood briefly in the doorway, and after no response from behind the door, he walked towards the soldier who had set up the shield, stopped in front of the shield, pressed the detonator, and only an explosion occurred near the door lock, the gunpowder haloed a black on the clean white metal door, and the pungent smell spread in the shockwave, Dawn Lucius subconsciously shielded Sandra behind him. Seeing that the door did not open, Burt took a step toward the shield, the soldiers immediately gave him a channel to, after Burt stood firmly behind the shield, another row of soldiers with shields quickly forward to replenish, Burt shielded behind two strong walls, Dawn Lucius saw this, then climbed in front of Sandra, left hand to hold her down behind his own.

The soldiers squeezed the handles of their shields, Dawn Lucius’ whole body tensed up and closed his eyes, even his ear drums, which had not yet returned, and he puffed up, just as they all outside would usher in a more violent explosion, the door opened inward, and Dawn Lucius did not have time to see what it was like inside when the front row of shield-wielding soldiers rushed through. Sandra was able to stand up, and as she bent down to try to pull Dawn Lucius up, the Strath The soldier turned his gun on the two of them and put it away after a wary glance. As the two stood up, Prince Burt came out from behind the door with a big smile on his face.

“It’s you two again, I can’t get rid of you.” Burt stared at Dawn Lucius and Sandra with a complicated expression on his face, and as he walked up to the two, Sandra held Dawn Lucius behind herself.

“Prince Burt, we’re just trying to find a way out.” Sandra’s voice trembled as she spoke.

“Where to?” Prince Burt asked.

“Moreth Federation.”

“Oh, aren’t you Ashton people? Why are you going to the Moreth Federation, which is ......” Burt looked at Dawn Lucius and smiled, then looked at Sandra and continued. “Is there something important to do?”

“That’s not true, I’m just going to report some minor things to Jonathan Moreth steader so I can get back to Ashton Federation,” Sandra gulped as she said this.

“Since, it’s a small thing, there’s no need to go, right, like this.” Burt put his right hand up and waved his finger then came up four soldiers, two with guns on Sandra’s shoulders, the other two dragged Dawn Lucius behind Burt.

“What do you want?” Dawn Lucius asked in a lowered voice, and Burt ignored him as if he had never existed.

“How about I send you straight back to Ashton Federation?” Burt asked, looking at Sandra.

“Prince, if I go straight back to Ashton Federation won’t do any good, Madam Winifred will blame me for not getting Jonathan Moreth steader’s attitude, and Jonathan Moreth steader will think I’m not doing my job, then I might as well, well just stay at Gyaly Planet for good.”

“Then I do not force you, after all, you have your mission, this group of us, ah, next is to go to Ashton Federation’s star field to stroll, I thought you want to return to Ashton Federation, in that case we just go along, the ship still has a place for one or two people, if you and your friends want to go, I I can take you with me.” Burt backhandedly pointed at Dawn Lucius and said.

“What are you guys doing in Ashton Federation?” Hearing Burt say that, Sandra gasped, knowing that Burt’s purpose was to attack the Ashton Federation, not to supposedly go for a stroll.

“It’s all said and done, stroll.”

“Ashton Federation is so big, where does Prince Burt want to go shopping?”

“Didn’t think about it, I heard that your brother is a very good general, I’m going to ask him for advice on leading troops into battle, maybe we’ll go to Cavnos Planet first, your brother and your family are there, right?”

“Prince Burt, you going to Cavnos Planet means aggression, all the guns and ships of Ashton Federation will come down on you, I suggest you go back to Strath Federation to be safe.”

“Safe?” Prince Burt started laughing, he spoke after pointing in Sandra’s direction. “Gyaly Planet I can easily take down, Moreth Federation did not come out to obstruct, Ashton Federation of any planet, I Burt want to go yet no one can stop me, you now ah, first think about their own safety.”

“Ashton Federation ......” Sandra had just opened her mouth when Prince Burt yelled and interrupted her.

“Well, you’re in no position to discuss politics with me.” Prince Burt changed his face, just as he had done when he warned the people inside the door before pressing the starter, he stared at Sandra and continued. “You can go to Moreth Federation if you want, your friends are on a mission from Jonathan, right, all that, I’m not interested.” Burt gave his final offer after pointing at Dawn Lucius. “My big brother is near Kunek Planet, you help me to bring this person to my big brother, one then you can return to Moreth Federation, two then also just solve my troubles.”

“Who is this man?” Sandra remembered what Dawn Lucius had said, Gyaly Planet was rumored to be the palace of Madam Winifred, if Prince Burt had come to fight Gyaly Planet was really captured Madam Winifred, plus Carlson was already on Kunek Planet, which was Jonathan Moreth steader inhabited planet, or Moreth Federation’s administrative center, they dare to go, must have been prepared, but Prince Burt told her to bring the person who is, is another what conspiracy?Sandra looked at the wrapped a solid people asked.

“It’s my job, just like I never ask this friend of yours who he is, let’s be professional shall we?”

“Did you capture Madam Winifred?” asks Sandra warily.

“Madam Winifred?” said Burt, frowning at Sandra’s question, then laughing openly. “I’m not interested in you Madam Winifred, besides, I’m on a mission to be a man.” Burt finished walking over to the tightly wrapped man, carrying the other man’s arm and walking to Sandra. Judging from the size and gait, the hooded man was a male, which made Sandra feel slightly more at ease.

“How about it, want to go back?”

“Then you have to tell me who he is.”

“You’re really unprofessional.” Burt walked over to Dawn Lucius and pointed at the device after pulling Dawn Lucius’ sleeve up. “This thing in his hand, you know what it is not? This I did not chase you, right, for the last time, want to go back, do not ask, do not want to go back, then both of you do not go back, as for him well ......,” Jonathan looked at Dawn Lucius, shook his head and said. “He’s important to some people, that’s for sure.”

“Even if I agree to your terms, how do we get back?” Sandra asked.

“How do you get back to what?” Burt looked at Sandra in confusion.

“You destroyed the Star Bridge starter, how can we start the Star Bridge if we can’t fix it in the short term?”

“Hahahaha, it seems that you still don’t know enough about the Moreth Federation.” Burt laughed and took out a sphere from his arms, less than the size of an adult fist, he walked up to Sandra and handed it to her and continued. “This can open the Star Bridge at will, the disadvantage is that it can be used a limited number of times, now, you only have one chance to use it, take my people, send it to my big brother, he will naturally let you two go.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll run straight to Kunek Planet?” Sandra asked tentatively.

“Of course I’m afraid, but ah, I think Ashton Federation’s diplomats still keep their word, besides, don’t you want to know the situation of my big brother’s army? He is planning to attack Kunek Planet, if you see the situation of his army clearly, it is beneficial to Moreth Federation, then you have made a contribution to Moreth Federation on behalf of Ashton Federation, then your family is considered to have made a credit in front of Madam Winifred, now ah Ashton Federation needs a friend like Moreth Federation, doesn’t it?”

“That makes sense, but why do I get the feeling that since meeting your army, everything has proceeded as if you had arranged it?” Sandra continued after a pause. “It’s like, you set me up for another conspiracy and I’m just an unwitting accomplice?”

“Hey.” Burt sighed as he patted the hooded man and continued. “This man is my big brother’s good friend, when Strath Federation intended to attack Ashton Federation, he defected and ran here to inform Ashton Federation in advance, which made my father disappointed in my big brother, he can be disgraced in front of my father, he told us to personally end him as a friend, this is not, I kind of give him a gift. You know, my big brother and I are in competition, so my big brother owes me a favor, maybe it will be useful later, I gave him his friend, it’s just a handful for me.”

“Okay then, deal.” Sandra said after hearing Burt’s words, in fact she and Dawn Lucius knew in their hearts, Burt said this thing is not at all credible, Carlson does not like to kill, he can not afford to go to great lengths for a so-called betrayed his friends, but now the situation is also very obvious, Burt sent this person, for his own in Strath Sandra and Dawn Lucius, if they want to leave, not only have to send this person to Carlson, but also have to figure out how to save their lives from Carlson. Sandra agreed so readily to really leave, if we go on digging into the root of the matter, maybe Burt will flip out. Maybe Burt will flip out and she and Dawn Lucius won’t survive.

Since an agreement has been reached, it is possible to leave, out of the highest building in Sok City, Burt explained Sandra not to untie the mystery man’s mask, can not be untied and can not talk, Strath people to the mystery man’s ears also sealed up, the mystery man can not see the outside and can not hear the content of the conversation with the people, which is not sure whether it is good or bad. After boarding the shuttle boats, a small number of soldiers accompanied Burt and Sandra’s group to set off first. After ascending some distance, Dawn Lucius saw the situation on the wide area behind Sok City, where the bodies were piled up, I think, these are Ashton Federation’s garrison in Gyaly Planet and It was clear that if Burt hit Ashton Federation, Orion Arm would be one more star field with a lot of dead bodies.

“Prince, it has been arranged.” In the observation room of the spaceport, a soldier came to report the situation of the ship to Prince Burt.

“All right.” Burt waved his hand to the soldier, the soldier a slip of smoke and put himself back into the work of arranging the ship outside, Burt turned to Sandra and continued. “Your ship is already set up, no human operation is needed, when it gets to the designated location, you press the sphere again, the sphere will open the Star Bridge, the other end of the Star Bridge is near my big brother’s ship.”

“Why is this ...... thing,” Sandra asked, gently shaking the sphere in her hand. “Can it open the Star Bridge?”

“I’ll walk you to the door, I’m not as stingy as Jonathan to share, this thing is the navigator in Star Bridge, only a few high officials of Moreth Federation know about its existence, and only they can take this thing to travel on Orion Arm at will, you know? bridge technology is actually not much remarkable, Moreth Federation brilliant place is that they can measure the gravitational depression point in the stable galaxy, as long as they can accurately find, that different galaxies can use the gravitational depression point to traverse, greatly shorten the interstellar navigation visible to the naked eye.”

“Is that the principle behind Star Bridge?” Dawn Lucius couldn’t help but ask after hearing this statement.

“Yeah.” Burt answered him for the first time. “She should know best.” Burt pointed to Sandra and continued. “The entrances and exits of Star Bridges are in specific places. To summarize, the entrances and exits must be in galaxies with stars, some galaxies have multiple gravitational depressions, some galaxies have only one, then there can only be one entrance and exit, and Gyaly Planet has only one. But ah, there is another key element that Moreth people did not tell you, and that is stability, and that is something Moreth people should be proud of, the proud brutes.”

“And how do you know how this works?” Sandra pursued.

“I’m not like you guys, I’m a prince with a lot of wealth and a lot of followers, ah, I know a lot more than you guys think.” Burt replied with a big smile.

“Is Prince Carlson going to kill us?” Dawn Lucius asked.

“All right, it’s time for you guys to go.” Burt’s soldiers pushed the three into the ship, and after everything was ready, the ship moved away from Gyaly Planet at a slow speed.

The two sat opposite each other in the pilot’s chair, Dawn Lucius followed Sandra’s example and fastened the full belt, he took a long breath and lay back, the brief sleepiness was like the feeling of coming back from a day of shopping and always looking for a place to lie down, he tried the back of his head on the hard chair, a joy blossomed in his heart. Looking back on the journey, the joy was like that of a passenger waiting to return home, waiting for hours in a rumbling waiting room, handing himself over from the dense crowd to the seat of the green train about to set sail, and even if Dawn Lucius’s set of journey was not back to Earth, he felt happy.

“Hi.” Sandra touched Dawn Lucius’ knee, and she continued when Dawn Lucius looked up at her. “Thank you for shielding me before Prince Burt detonated.”

“Me?” Dawn Lucius couldn’t remember when or how it was nursed at all.

“Yes, isn’t that you?”

“You’re welcome.” Dawn Lucius continued after a moment’s hesitation. “It’s not that I don’t remember, I mean, it’s a small thing, you don’t have to be polite.”

“In fact, in our civilization, in a dangerous situation, our first consideration is to protect ourselves, not to protect others as you have done.”

“Then we’re not quite the same, we give priority to protecting those we care about, but it’s also said that Earthlings are genetically predisposed to self-destruction, probably because of this ......” Dawn Lucius didn’t continue, he waved his hand and continued to lie back in his chair.

“You know.” Sandra paused as she patted Dawn Lucius on the knee and continued. “You’re Star Map Draftsman, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, weren’t you the one who said I was a Star Map Draftsman? Because of this.” Dawn Lucius held up her hand and shook it.

“Jonathan Moreth steader wants to align with you, while Madam Winifred does not, she ......” Sandra was about to say what Madam Winifred wanted her to do When the ship’s radio sound prompted to start Star Bridge, but also accompanied by an ear-splitting countdown sound, Dawn Lucius hurried to sit up straight, hands tug on the seat belt, Sandra can only give up, she pressed the button on the sphere, the two embarked on a journey to escort the mystery man to Carlson.
