Star Master

With just one look, Hayden was sure that he would not admit his mistake. The mage's gaze was always calm and calm, containing dormant storms, like a peaceful sea, that deep sea trench that hides perfection, the surface is beautiful and peaceful, but the inside is hidden With energy that ordinary people can't imagine.

As for Xia Zuo, Hayden felt that he understood the reason why Ludwig regarded him as his younger brother at a glance.

——The eyes look like a good student who finally mustered up the courage to skip class to go to an Internet cafe on the eve of his birthday but was caught, wet and extremely embarrassed.

Xia Zuo stretched out his arms and pushed Hayden away, making a gesture of waiting, and then fell back with his eyes closed. Hayden was startled, thinking it was an emergency, he rushed out and hugged him.

Three seconds later, he struggled out of Hayden's arms, opened his eyes again, looked embarrassed, and whispered: "Wait a minute, please take it easy."

Hayden: "What are you doing?"

Xia Zuo: "I'll replace brother Ludwig!"

As he spoke, he fell to the ground again, and Hayden pulled his collar straight for others, snorted twice on his head, and pointed out helplessly: "You will knock yourself out of the concussion first."

Xia Zuo blushed to the neckline when he heard this, he stood upright, lowered his head: "Then shall I find a bed to lie down and take a sleeping pill?"

Hayden pressed his shoulders: "Don't experiment randomly, even if it is an ordinary dual personality, exchanging control rights is not your method of operation, not to mention that your real situation is not dual personality. You have the memory of this time ?”

Xia Zuo shook his head, then nodded again.

Hayden sighed, and began to reflect on whether he had trained too many recruits, which was too strict. He said in a tone so gentle that he couldn't bear it: "I guess you want to say that you have been sleeping these days, and you are not concerned about the outside world. Can you feel much?"

Xia Zuo bit his lip and nodded.

Hayden: "Then you know me?"

Xia Zuo: "My brother's partner."

Hayden: "... good brother."

Regarding this situation, Hayden also has no idea, he has no understanding of soul magic, and the little knowledge he knows comes from Ludwig's daily nonsense - the exaggerated words of the mage make the information useful to the ears of ordinary people It's about the same level as nonsense.The only thing he could perceive was that Ludwig's powerful and dangerous soul put away all its claws and huddled behind Xia Zuo. When he observed carefully with his mental power, he would find that Ludwig was dreaming—or a A group of paladins kneeled on one knee and offered him a dream of Devil's Cheese.

In short, it was similar to when Xia Zuo was sleeping deep in his soul, except that he was in a different position, and because Ludwig's soul was too powerful, even when he was asleep, he could find his existence at a glance.

Hayden finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, after taking a look at the real devil cheese in his hand, he felt a little regretful, and decided to give it to Nigel before it spoiled. Now he is the only one in the audience who can eat this safely. After all, Mia is still a junior apprentice, and Hayden is afraid that she will be spoiled. Now, Ludwig woke up and was about to brutally kill the paladin.

It is still necessary to listen to the doctor at the critical moment. Elan checked Xia Zuo, and took the time to briefly ask a few questions, and came to his conclusion: "Although I don't know why Xia Zuo's personality controls the body, Lu Dewei Xi fell into sleep, but the preliminary judgment shows that Xia Zuo's mental strength is increasing, probably because Ludwig repaired the body destroyed by the genetic weapon, and Xia Zuo escaped from the state of suppression for these years. He is obviously recovering, But in the past 18 years, he has been severely injured by genetic weapons, so it may take some time for his mental state to stabilize, and his emotional state these days is normal no matter how strange it is.”

Xia Zuo is the most well-behaved and obedient patient Elan has ever dealt with. He asked him to raise his arm and did not tell him to put it down. His hands trembled and he was not lazy, so even the black-mouthed doctor was embarrassed to say half a harsh word to him. Son.

"But..." Elan frowned, "Physiologically, the life index is currently healthy, but it is actually declining slowly, that is to say, he is slowly getting weaker, and if it continues, he will be weak and die within a month gone."

Xia Zuo gasped in shock, but Hayden didn't react too much when he heard it. He thought about it and felt that Ludwig had mentioned the cause of this situation in his previous nonsense.

"I know what's going on." Hayden nodded, "Ludwig said that Xia Zuo died together. The moment their contract was concluded, Xia Zuo's soul was cut off from this body. Now Ludwig was asleep and unconscious, and the contracted devils and undead under his control were temporarily liberated, Xia Zuo is equivalent to an incompatible undead occupying the body of a living person, so it will consume the vitality of the body."

"Then what should I do?" Xia Zuo asked anxiously with red eyes, "If my brother can't wake up for a month, then I will kill him?"

Elan pondered for a moment, and said, "How about I give you a copy of "A Collection of One Hundred and Eight Ways to Awaken Vegetative People"?"

"Ordinary methods may not be able to wake up the slumber caused by magic. I feel that we need some special methods." Nigel suddenly interjected, "Mr. Ludwig's soul is too strong, and ordinary methods for awakening vegetative people are impossible to break through his ego protection."

Elam: "What special method, like?"

Nigel regretted: "My knowledge of magic is limited, so I couldn't think of it for a while."

Hayden said: "In this case, at least close this one first, Elan, you are responsible for protecting Xia Zuo and the little Zerg girl, and there will be a tough battle soon."

As for Ludwig... and dreaming of eating cheese in a leisurely way—Hayden sighed, let him sleep for a while, he was indeed too tired during this time.

……

This war has attracted the attention of the world, and the entire empire has attracted attention. Even though the parliament did not want the group of journalists scurrying up and down to engage in this kind of unharmonious live broadcast of the war, after weighing it, you will find that if you shut down the live broadcast hastily, instead It will double the panic of the people——on the outline of the twin suns, a huge shadow crosses the two suns. The third civilization's leading aircraft carrier is ridiculously large. The mass of the spaceship is too large, and it has its own gravity, causing a certain degree of space distortion. The imperial fleet traveling at warp speed is affected by space folding, and its positioning is inaccurate when it exits warp speed. Three starships rushed directly into the sun.

Even space folding affects the speed of light.The people of the capital star looked at the sky worriedly. The mothership in the orbit of the sun seemed to be deliberately showing its presence. The shadows always run through the sun, which is very in line with their high-profile style of work.

"The size of the mothership is enough to be an asteroid! It's almost an artificial asteroid. I'm sorry, the reporter of this station used the wrong word. The spirit of the star made an asteroid—that's how it was. During an interview with Luther, the reporter of this station In Mr. Vichy's experience, I heard that Mr. Ludwig used "people" to refer to humans, Zerg, and the mixed-race Hayden... Well, Your Majesty, Mr. Ludwig said, saying people is just to make the pointing Pronouns are easier to pronounce..."

The reporter explained solemnly: "But in view of the real-time interactive feedback from netizens, the Zerg is fine, and they firmly refuse to use the same pronoun as Star Spirit. The reporter of this station solemnly apologizes for the slip of the tongue in this live broadcast..."

"The following is the real-time picture of the Imperial Council...The Chairman of the Council, His Excellency Felix, issued an appeal to the exiles of the Empire, the Outer Star Field, and the Black Zone—"

As the reporter spoke, the screen was switched to the front of the Imperial Parliament Building, where the twin empresses sat on the high platform in full dress, and the speaker of the parliament slowly walked up to the stage.

This speaker is a veritable veteran of the empire. He was also the marshal of the empire when he was young. He galloped on the battlefield and made great contributions to defending the borders of the empire. After reaching the age when the latest exoskeleton could not keep him agile on the battlefield, He abdicated to let the virtuous, and voluntarily handed over the military power. This move made the voters' evaluation of him even higher. Many old marshals were reluctant to hand over the command after the war. Most people would choose to train agents to take over. Few As crisp as Felix.

As a result, the old marshal was elected as the speaker of the parliament after his retirement, and the comments on the Internet abusing the members of the parliament stopped temporarily because of the speaker's speech.

Felix's temples are gray and there are fine lines around his eyes that cannot be concealed. In terms of the current medical and aesthetic methods of human beings, this is a very old appearance.

He has a peaceful posture and a calm expression, as if the shadow on the sun is just an ordinary sunspot.

"All citizens of the empire." He spoke calmly, looking around, as if he was looking around the entire empire, and then sighed inaudibly, and continued, "and, the exiles from the black area who were dissatisfied with the military regime of the empire in the past Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to abandon the past, all my fellow human beings, my brothers and sisters, my predecessors and successors, the empire has reached a critical moment."

He took a deep breath: "Looking up, we saw a shadow on the beloved sun. This is a crisis that the empire has never had before. The enemy appeared from the shadow, pointed at the dark shadow, and lied to us that That is the lintel of the Hall of Glory. We do not believe that human beings will not give up their freedom for the false promises of the enemy. We have been fighting for freedom and airspace for centuries. History tells us that human beings are born with indomitable blood. As individuals, we will be afraid, we will be afraid, but today we stand together, human beings will never be cowardly, and will never give in!"

This is a pre-war mobilization. The human empire is based on military power, but in fact, there has been no gunpowder in the central star field for nearly a hundred years, and the dispute with the Zerg has been perfectly controlled in the outer star field. In those days, Felix couldn't pick up ordinary netizens from the optical brain and throw them into the space battlefield with a passionate declaration.

He was trying to find a breakthrough, and instead of calling on everyone to take up arms, the next proposal was a little easier to accept:

"In the past, we fought the Zerg to the death, but today, we have to temporarily stop this consumption. Yes, I know that many people still have photos of the martyrs who died on the front line against the Zerg in their homes, but the martyrs Above the stars, if they see the crisis of the empire today, they will not be angry, they will approve of our actions today, after all, the Zerg will not want to destroy the sun we love - Queenie and Plaid, the Zerg will not Transform our compatriots, let us kill each other, and the Zerg will not dig out the core of our planet and turn us into homeless slaves. Therefore, this is the beginning of a new era, and the human fleet will set off, We went to the front with courage, but the guns were no longer aimed at our old enemies, we temporarily forgive them, let them go, and let them join our ranks to fight against the lunatics who call themselves Star Spirits!"

His tone became more and more generous, and he could vaguely hear people's enthusiasm. In the end, Felix looked a little bit like a battle marshal back then, and he shouted: "We will use actions to tell those crazy people ——What, is the glory of our own humanity!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight for the Empire!"

The soldiers in a neat line shouted, and then boarded the starship in a neat line, and the fleet left the central star field in a mighty manner and rushed to the front line.

Felix let out a long breath, and seemed a little tired—he was really not young anymore. Expensive medical treatment and drugs could keep him from getting some unseemly diseases such as hemiplegia and dementia, but they couldn’t bring him back to the age of 20. age.

He touched the smooth but dry skin, and sighed deeply where the camera couldn't see it.

The human frontline troops have already contacted Hayden, and the parliament urgently passed the contingency plan, willing to temporarily put aside the dispute with the Zerg, but this realization came too late, none of the diplomats could speak the Zerg language, and even among them were still urgently popularizing science such as "biological extraterrestrial It is common sense that armor is a creation of biotechnology, not grown by the Zerg themselves", so this time the two races cooperated, they could only use Heiden as a bridge.

The impassioned declaration of the speaker of the parliament was recorded as the "Declaration of Glory", and correspondingly, the speech of the Star Spirit was revised as "Pseudo-Glory Day".

Elan showed Hayden the rebroadcast of the "Declaration of Glory". Hayden slowly frowned, and the hair and beard on the back of his head were unconsciously entangled.

Elan sneered: "What do you think is wrong?"

Hayden: "I can't tell."

Tianhe Wanderer: "Hayden, I can tell you what's wrong. Do you know why the ethics tests of all engineers have not found that our artificial intelligence can really have independent personality and thinking without being restricted by system programs?"

Hayden was thoughtful, doubting that artificial intelligence has emotions for a long time, but no one dared to say that artificial intelligence really has independent thinking and can get rid of the restrictions of the core of the program. Otherwise, if humans know that Alpha can reject the creator How dare she let her link to the console of the railgun?Aren't you afraid of sleeping until midnight and being bombarded by treacherous artificial intelligence?

Elan went on to say: "Because, in human tests, there is always this kind of questioning-'Do you want to be human'? The answer tells you, no, we have thinking and emotions, but it doesn't mean we have to want to be human. Humans, humans are not the only intelligent life."

Hayden nodded slowly: "I see."

——We temporarily forgive them, let them go, and let them join our ranks to fight against the lunatics who call themselves Star Spirits—the speaker of the council declared so.

He is not cooperating with peer civilizations, this is "utilizing resources".

Hayden pondered for a moment: "Notify Bella, gather the Zerg troops, and bring me the repaired White Night Frost Star."

And as far away as the capital of the human empire, Gail, who was about to board the starship, suddenly received an encrypted message.

[Please send me the Black Moon Knights, but you yourself please stay on the capital star and beware of Felix. 】

The author has something to say: Xia Zuo: I'm so nervous, when will my brother wake up!

Lulu: zzzzzz~~~cheese~~~cheese~~~ ahhh...

Hayden: Well, real cheese can only be fed to druids.
