Chapter 18 Shortcuts
"Wish, what? The goal of your trip this time is to help this lady named Xiziyue go back to her hometown? Or maybe she kills Odin?" Finger was stunned and his chin almost hit the table.
, "I thought you were just coming out to pick up rags! Only then did you know that you are such a group of people with great ambitions!"
Not long ago, they were still drinking in the bar, but Xiziyue suddenly stood up and said that there was an important information to be exchanged.
At first, Finger didn't care too much, saying that there is no need to be so nervous about daily tasks like collecting materials. At worst, we can just give you a lot of free ones.
But with Xiziyue's statement, the entire warriors from Siberia's safe haven became serious, including Zero and Greer. Only then did Finger realize that they really had important things to do, and he asked without asking a group of them.
It is indeed a bit unsightly to push people into the bar.
But this mission goal is too nonsense! As soon as you get up, you will point your sword at the King of Gods!
Also, no matter how you look at it, you don’t look like a kingly army who is capable of doing this! You really won’t be able to walk halfway and be suddenly destroyed by the dragon clan who is wandering around?
"Xiziyue, she comes from another timeline and completes the time and space shuttle through the key of the World Tree in order to kill Odin." Zero calmly explained.
"That's right! When the dragon clan attacked our doomsday stronghold before, thanks to her, we won a great victory. She at least has the strength of the Dragon King!" Greer also followed.
"By the way, she was invited by Lu Mingfei, and finding Lu Mingfei is also one of her main tasks."
"With that being said, I think she actually wants to understand the mystery about herself, so she wants to go back to her hometown."
"Stop! Stop! Do you know what you are talking about? World Line? Dragon King's strength? Lu Mingfei's invitation?" Finger finally couldn't help it and slapped the table, "What's this all about! Can you tell me something?
Is it human words?”
It has been a long time since the end of the world that he has not received such a high-density amount of information in one breath, as if the rusty gears are turning again, making sounds that are both exciting and panic.
The excitement is because this information is vaguely sending an optimistic signal. After a few years, the dawn of victory has appeared again.
Panic is because of feeling the risk. If that hope cannot be fulfilled, then what awaits them will be an unimaginable price, which means that even the little space for living that is fun will disappear now.
"Time! I need time to think about it! One month!" Finger was a little panicked, his fingers twitched after another, "One week is OK! In short, this matter must be cautious! It must be foolproof!"
"Finger."
Xiziyue's voice sounded with magic, surrounding Finger like a stream.
He looked up and only noticed that the girl was staring at him with a quiet look.
Finger was stunned. He hadn't felt this kind of reassuring gaze for a long time. It no longer belongs to this era.
"Touch your hand." Xiziyue opened her white palm to Finger.
Finger doesn't quite understand the meaning of this action, but he thinks it should be some kind of "candid meeting" sincerity?
With some suspicion, Finger reached out and held Xiziyue together.
"Did you feel it? My current emotions." Xiziyue said.
"Calm and warm, like the sea in the sun, makes people reluctant to let go." Finger closed his eyes, rarely without talking nonsense, "But... there is also some terrifying haze?"
Xiziyue nodded: "You feel it very carefully, that is fear... As they said just now, I have the power of the Dragon King, to be precise, the king of oceans and water, and bronze and
King of Fire, but no matter how much power I gain, I have never completely escaped from fear."
"Because there will always be more powerful enemies waiting for me, and I can always fight against that enemy in advance through the gaps of fate. This time, it was finally Odin's turn, and it was the enemy who was stronger than me."
"I don't want to be an enemy of it, really don't want it, but I have to face it, because I know that this is something that only I can do, it is a responsibility that I cannot escape, and it is also the glory that I deserve.
, but it is also my mission that I choose.”
"In the timeline of the past, Charlotte and I were very good friends. She said that mission is to cut off the blade of fate, the only thing that makes fate surrender to us, and challenging Odin is me
The chosen mission.”
"So can I help me? I need all of you to stand behind me."
The conference room was quiet, and everyone's eyes were gathered in the hands of the two, as if those major historical decision-making moments.
Finger's expression was sometimes relieved and sometimes embarrassed, and eventually turned into deep entanglement.
Although it is just an ordinary lyrical expression, there is a great determination behind those ordinary words, which makes people feel its weight.
Before Finger could answer, a harsh alarm sounded across every corner of the stronghold, and the red indicator light flashed repeatedly.
"What happened?" He immediately tightened his eyebrows.
"The dragon clan invades! And it's a large-scale dragon clan invades!"
The big screen immediately jumped to the outside world, and what was happening outside made everyone suck.
The astonishingly dense dragon clan is passing through the city in groups, either a sub-species legion or a real pure blood dragon clan!
"What the hell is this? The war has begun again?" Finger was covered in cold sweat. "Where is Odin? Where is Odin? So many dragon tribes gather together, he is in charge!"
"It's very likely that Odin asked them to do this, and the goal is to kill me," said Nishiziyue.
"Then you...you are really important. You deserve to be so mobilized to kill..." Finger didn't know whether he should praise her.
"It is obvious that there is no way to compete with this number head-on. The best way is to go out alone and deal with their pursuit while heading to my destination." Xiziyue took a deep breath, and her heartbeat returned to calm.
"Xiziyue..." Zero looked at her with a low voice.
"I am already satisfied that you can accompany me so far, but some journeys are destined to be completed by one person." Xiziyue smiled.
"No! We might have a better solution here!" Finger suddenly felt refreshed.
"What's the solution?"
"A method that only exists in theory and has not yet been practiced, and must rely on the power of the Dragon King...it is not you, but the Dragon King here."
Xiziyue was stunned. Unexpectedly, there was a Dragon King here, so why didn't she sense it at all.
"Deputy Director Charlotte! Go show our beautiful girl savior!" Finger greeted.
"Wait! Why am I a deputy? Didn't you agree to let me be the director this month?" Charlotte shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, in short, I'm just asking our super cute and super beautiful girl, Miss Charlotte goes to show the new little sister the technology that cannot be displayed publicly because it is too advanced!"
"Follow me." Charlotte acted neatly.
The subway started to operate again, and the station sign lights were on all the way to the terminal, but its actual destination was the next stop at the terminal.
Although there is no name written, Xiziyue can probably guess that this is a place similar to the final sanctuary, where an alchemy matrix supporting the entire Nibelon root is placed.
After arriving at the station, the car door opened and the cold air flowed in. Large mechanical equipment buzzed in the dark, and blue light flashed back and forth.
"That's what you want to help you reach the finish line quickly." Charlotte pointed to a large ball that was wrapped in layers of wire not far away.
"Cocoon?" Xiziyue could see at a glance what the spherical object was.
