Counting the loot really made people feel happy. Shao Jun led the robots on the star thief ship to clean the airship one by one, collected and counted the supplies, threw away the clothes and bedding, cleaned and dried them, and folded them. The food was counted and reunified. Put it in the warehouse on the spaceship, then weapons, energy, tools, etc.

After making the list, he looked at the captain's room on the spaceship, which was undoubtedly the most luxurious room—all kinds of luxury things and expensive furnishings, gems, etc., of course, were all cheaper than them. Equipped with a Skynet access pod.

He thought about it and lay down in it, and connected to Skynet.

He appeared in the vast universe, with nothing around, and it was exactly as Ke Xia said—the mastermind was in Lorraine, and it was too far away.

He closed his eyes and tried to use his spiritual power as Ke Xia said, silently calling Estin in his heart.Then he was patted on the shoulder, and a soft and cute little doll had already jumped into his arms. He turned his head and saw Estin and Daniel in his arms in horror: "Why so fast?"

Estin smiled: "Knowing that you will come to accompany your master, these days I have developed Skynet along this route on nearby planets."

He looked around: "But you are too far away." He stretched out his palm and pressed it on Shao Jun's forehead. After a while, solid land appeared under Shao Jun's feet, islands appeared, oceans appeared, and the entire planet was restored. Come out, in this vast sky net.

Shao Jun was incredulous, and looked around the sea next to the island: "Is this—the means of the creator?"

Estin said: "Of course, the next step is to build a main city of Skynet, right on this island? If you want, I can also build a portal connecting the central area of ​​the main city of Lorraine."

Shao Jun said: "Not for now." They are too weak and do not need to be discovered by others.

Estin smiled again, his silver-gray eyes narrowed: "Okay." He looked around the blue sea, and said with a smile, "It's beautiful here. This island, let's call it Emerald Heart." He Stepping on the ground, the island suddenly expanded, green grass and fragrant flowers grew all around, and the sea breeze was blowing. Daniel seemed to see a magic trick, made a small cry, and jumped over. He tilted his head and asked Shao Jun: "You are the pioneer here. You can name the main city here? What kind of main city do you want?"

Shao Jun was startled, looked at the vast blue water around him, and subconsciously said, "Atlantis."

Estine asked, "Atlantis? What's the point?"

Shao Jun murmured: "The ancient city of ancient civilization that was annihilated by the flood is a city created by the sea god. It has a concentric circle structure with layers outward. When the wind blows through the center, the outer buildings will also resonate. The sound of the piano." He has watched related documentaries and was fascinated by the mysterious ancient civilization.

Estin tilted his head: "It's a good idea, I like it." He stretched out his slender fingers and closed his eyes: "Then——let's take a look at Atlantis."

A beautiful blue frosted glass-like crystal ground suddenly emerged from the bottom of their feet, extending infinitely outward, and a blue translucent wall protruded from the ground, a castle with a translucent blue dome and an ice blue round wall It was pulled up out of thin air, and then expanded layer by layer like ripples in the sea, forming several layers of secondary buildings surrounding the central castle, floating on the sea.

Estin said to himself: "Is the city created by the sea god..." His slender fingers moved, milky white light shone on the entire planet, countless carvings appeared on the translucent blue wall, a mermaid holding a harp, There are sirens with pairs of plump wings and snake-like lower bodies, unicorns by the water, silver moons, and stars falling in the water, all adorning the icy blue walls and pillars.

When the wind blew over, the faint sound of the harp sounded, the sound of the waves, and the singing of the sea monster flowed layer by layer like the tide.

On the sea in the distance, silver-white mist floats on the sea, and the tide gently washes over the city layer by layer.

Estine's gentle voice sounded: "I still need some flowers, what kind of flowers do you like?"

Shao Jun was overwhelmed by the crystal clear blue main city group, he said blankly: "Rose...the white rose..."

With a flick of Estin's hand, the rose with thorny branches twisted and crazily grew around the translucent white railing. The leaves germinated layer by layer, and buds popped up little by little. The snow-white rose soon bloomed in this blue sky. Every corner of the main city.

Shao Jun witnessed the uprooting of such a majestic main city as Skynet with his own eyes, and murmured: "If it is true, it will be fine."

Estin smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. Resin-like lightweight building materials are very mature. Because they are light and strong, they are more suitable for building floating water cities on the water. After entering the architectural drawings, they will be disassembled for you. Different building modules are poured and shipped, and then let a specific robot build it, and it is very simple to complete.”

Shao Jun shook his head. He knew that Estin and Luo Dan both had an astonishing amount of money, and money was no different than a number to them, but a non-essential city was different from the previous material gifts that solved Ke Xia’s imminent survival problems. Well, he brought back Rodin's spiritual body just smoothly, and he has already accepted precious rewards, so he can no longer be so greedy.

Estin took a deep look at him: "You are always very principled in some places, but now I have one thing to entrust to you. This city is the reward for entrusting it. Only you can trust me."

He glanced at Daniel who was running among the rose bushes: "You should have guessed it. I hope you can take care of Daniel for me for a while. I may need to sleep for a while. This period of time is relatively long, maybe ten or twenty years. Possibly—hundreds of years."

Shao Jun raised his head slightly in horror to look at Estin, Estin had a weary smile on his face: "You are very smart, I will say it directly, in order to rekindle the fire of Daniel's soul, I spent I have lost too much spiritual power, I need to hibernate and recover, but Daniel's soul fire is still too weak, I need a trustworthy person to entrust, only you who are also a spiritual body are the most suitable, and your character is also worthy Trust me, I believe you can take Daniel very well. In daily life, he will live in the Xinghuihua pet robot. I have already told him to let him talk less, just take him with you. The main thing is to let him Slowly nourish and strengthen his own spiritual power in daily life."

He stretched out his palm, and a star map was displayed in the void. He stretched out his finger and pointed: "This place is far away from the center of the alliance, but because there are some ore stars nearby, there will still be some weaker pirates who will come to plunder from time to time. I believe that your master must also be planning this." He raised his head and smiled apologetically at Shao Jun: "I'm sorry, I read your spiritual power and memory."

"Ke Xia's best choice now is to lie dormant here and re-cultivate his power, otherwise he will not be able to become stronger, so I still suggest turning planet 413 into your base, and based on this, gradually become stronger and own your own. I believe that Ke Xia should have already thought of this. His next step should be to continuously trap and kill star robbers, accumulate supplies, annex forces, and then quietly wait for the opportunity—an opportunity to draw the long sword out of its sheath, a In a troubled world where power can dominate, don't worry, this time will not be very long, because the empire has already started to have problems, and the alliance is only superficially unified. After the alliance and the empire signed a peace treaty, the imbalance in the distribution of interests within the alliance has become more and more serious. It is becoming more and more obvious that conflict and division are coming, and after a short period of peace, there will inevitably be chaos, and that is the time for his revenge and rise."

"So you should also usher in a period of peace, which is why I entrust Daniel to you with confidence." Estin clenched his hands, and the star map disappeared.

Shao Jun hesitated for a while before saying: "How can I make you recover faster?"

Estin originally thought that Shao Jun would feel angry because his memory was read, but he didn't expect that Shao Jun actually cared about him, he was stunned and said with a relieved smile: "The more people with high spiritual power use Skynet, the more powerful I will be." If you are strong, you will recover faster." However, with the decline in the birth rate in the past few years, there are fewer and fewer people with high mental power. In other words, if no one uses Skynet anymore, he will dissipate.So this is the reason why he never used extraordinary means in Skynet at will. Who would connect his mental power to a place where he might become an idiot at will?It took Rodin his whole life to let people accept and trust Skynet and enter Skynet.

Shao Jun glanced at Daniel, feeling a little heavy in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly understood the risk Estin took to punish Hua Jianyu, but he didn't say anything, and after a while he said solemnly: "I will take good care of Daniel. .”

Estin smiled slightly, his long silver-gray hair and eyes narrowed, just like when Skynet first met Shao Jun, in the gentle sea breeze, he looked like a pure and innocent angel: "Thank you. "

"I have placed an order for all the materials to the factory, and they will be shipped in batches. Each batch is a building, and the robot is built to match it. You don't need to worry about anything. You can start with the most central building and slowly The increase may not attract your master’s attention—of course, to ensure safety, I suggest you discuss with Huajian Feng, and in the name of Huajian Zaibatsu, try to find a way to privatize this small planet quietly. This planet now belongs to Ulan is a very small country. They will agree to sign an indefinite lease development agreement for money. This place is too remote, and this is a deserted star. It doesn’t need to mobilize too much money. For the spy family, it should be Very good at it."

"There is a secret room behind the throne in the hall of the main city here. I set up a secret portal in it, and I can go back to the main city of Lorraine."

Daniel ran over with a garland of roses in his hand, Estin reached out and hugged him, Daniel put the garland on Estin's head, giggled, Estin bowed his head and kissed him gently Pressing his forehead, the whole person is gentle and sad: "Give someone a star, and then build a city on the star, this is really the most romantic thing I have ever seen."

"Treasure every day, because people are really fragile creatures."

"At least there will be memories until the end, even if only one person remembers, that is too precious a gift."

He hugged Daniel to Shao Jun, Daniel looked at him ignorantly and dependently, Estin said softly: "Daniel, you and Jun are going to play for a while, I have important things to do, I will come back when I finish pick you up."

Daniel nodded obediently, and Estin stretched out his hand to smooth his curly short hair, and his fingers suddenly dissipated, turning into several rose petals, and then his whole body dissipated into snow-white petals, blowing away in all directions with the wind .

Only in the wind can he sing softly and in a low voice:

"Although the branches are many, the root is but one;

Through all the lying days of my youth

I shake off my leaves and flowers in the sun;

Now I can wither into truth. "
