Two days later, Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar bedrooms around him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
The Red Heart Alliance cannot go back. Even if it can be found again in the confused ruins of the star world, it will not be the era he lived in, let alone the familiar friends.
But no matter what, Xia Duo does not regret his decision. Whether he goes or stays is a decision he made after careful consideration. Now that he has returned to the main plane, he should look forward instead of dwelling on the past.
Just when he was distracted, Niya, who was notified by the tower spirit, teleported directly to Sha Duo. Although the Tower of Time is now parked in the research area of the floating city, the inside of the mage tower is still controlled by the tower spirit.
In other words, inside the Tower of Time, the mage tower, Sha Duo does not have as much authority as Niya.
It was only not long ago that he made the decision to give up Niya and stay in the Red Heart Alliance. Now that he saw Niya's concerned eyes, he couldn't help but avoid her eyes.
At this time, it had been more than twenty years since he last met Niya. He himself couldn't tell how much feeling he still had for Niya, but he still felt a lot of guilt.
"Xia Duo, you -" Noticing Xia Duo's evasive eyes, Niya's heart suddenly tightened. She could not say the thousands of words she had prepared, leaving only one trembling expectation -
"Are you OK?"
"I'm fine."
Xia Duo quickly recalled the scene when he last met Niya in his mind, and repeatedly experienced what he was thinking at that moment, which allowed him to regain some sense of familiarity.
"Niya, I, I've been gone for a long time this time, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Sha Duo stopped Niya and held her in his arms. While feeling the real warmth of the person in his arms, he continued to recall the memories of the two of them getting along in the past.
Gradually, Xia Duo felt that the familiar self was back, but he did not give up the self-shaping during his life in the Heartless Alliance, but only slightly increased the proportion of his past personality.
Only he who can completely analyze the existence of the subconscious can actively shape himself so meticulously. If other people do not have special circumstances, their self-personality almost always lives in the passive shaping of the external environment.
The few people who are aware of their own tendencies and consciously and actively shape them can be called "clear minds and seeing nature". Xia Duo has the advantage of awakening his bloodline and is not considered a true clear mind, but he is indeed moving in this direction. develop.
Perhaps one day he will be able to achieve the "never-retrograde character of mind" that can only be achieved by immortal gods and bodhisattvas in the legend in his hometown, but before that, he still needs to maintain it from time to time.
…
After comforting Niya, Shado walked around the Tower of Time and the Floating City again, regaining the familiar feeling in those scenes. Then he summoned the senior members of the Tower of Time (organization) and announced an announcement. Project -
"Everyone, I plan to build another floating city in the near future, and I will need your help then."
When he was first in the projection plane, Xia Duo wanted to come back and improve the current [Chang'an City]. However, as he learned more about the Red Heart Alliance, he felt more and more that the current [Chang'an City] could not be transformed.
Instead of going all out to modernize an already very backward foundation, it would be better to start from scratch and build a new one. Doing so would actually save more time and effort!
But for Xia Duo's proposal, everyone reacted unanimously, with surprise and then hesitation, obviously disagreeing. After all, the construction of [Chang'an City] alone has not been completed, so building a new city seems very redundant.
Very unnecessary.
Sha Duo saw such a look in the eyes of everyone, including Niya, but the experience of the Red Heart Alliance was so unbelievable that he could only explain it by using the projection plane to gain something.
"After careful consideration, I found that the cost of transforming [Chang'an City] is far greater than rebuilding a new city. Didn't Seven Towers build a new Severington? It's normal for us to build a new Chang'an."
"If a new city is to be built, what about Chang'an City?" Niya raised a very realistic question.
After all, too much has been invested in Chang'an City before, at least more than 10 million gold coins. Now that it is just halfway through the "renovation", a new one is about to be built. What should I do with this Chang'an City?
You must know that the current total population of the Bactria Territory, including the Saville Territory, is only 150,000. Even if you include the Mulan people who were just bought from Imaska not long ago, it is only about 200,000.
This small number of people is not enough to fill Chang'an City, let alone the ground territory. Once the new city is built, there will always be a place that turns into a ghost town.
Especially Chang'an City, as a magical building, requires regular maintenance. This is even more of a big trouble for the Tower of Time, which is already short of manpower.
What Niya is most worried about is the completion of the new city. It would be a waste if the Chang'an City, which was built with huge investment, is abandoned.
"Xia Duo, if you are sure that building a new city is more suitable than transforming Chang'an City, then you might as well sell Chang'an City and use resources to build a new city."
It was Savile who made this suggestion, but his words sounded a bit angry. Of course, Chateau understood what Savile meant, but he blamed him for not discussing it in advance and for going too hard.
At present, Chang'an City is placed on the main plane. Not only is it invincible, it can at least be called an absolute killer. In this case, why build a new city?
Looking at the puzzled eyes around him, Xia Duo couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart. He is not the kind of person who has to use new technologies at his hands, but he has seen the power of the Red Heart Alliance, and he is even more convinced. Understand the troubles of the Prime Plane.
Since Long Kuang Fan already knows the location of the control center, there should be no worst-case scenario like being controlled by elves to create a terrorist threat in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance.
But there is another huge crisis in the main plane that the Red Heart Alliance may not be able to do anything about, and that is the threat of demons covering the timeline.
In the past, he was too optimistic about the threat of demons, thinking that as long as he controlled specific nodes, he could stabilize the current timeline. But in fact, after going through the Red Heart Alliance and his team, he understood how powerful it could be to replace the present with some historical possibility. The power is so powerful that even the Heartless Alliance cannot achieve it.
Such great power is obviously unlikely to leave too obvious weaknesses.
In other words, Xia Duo's idea of controlling a specific node with high probability does not work, not to mention that the node he thinks may not be the real node.
The real plan to change the timeline is only known to the demon descendants of the Illuminati from the kingdom of Elam in the different timeline. Only by capturing the Illuminati members can we learn the true details of this plan. Others may be just smoke bombs.
Xia Duo didn't want to wake up one day and the whole world would become unrecognizable. Therefore, the threat of demons must be resolved as soon as possible, even more urgent than the crisis of Dragon Madness and Mystery Lock.
To achieve this goal, it is impossible to expect the Illuminati to be captured without mercy. Extremely strong force is essential. It is impossible to overestimate those demons from different timelines.
The new floating city, or a pilot project using the new technology of the Red Heart Alliance, is prepared for this.
In addition, Shado is also preparing to make a prophecy in the near future. He does not seek to fully understand the trends of the Illuminati, but at least has a general understanding of the future development of the main plane.
