The floating continent group is a sky continent composed of more than a hundred sky islands. Each sky island has its own unique political system. It is a relatively independent island with no central government, but all sky islands are governed by Sky Island. Charter constraints.
The Sky Island Charter is to prevent possible conflicts between different races on the islands, which may even turn into wars. It is a law designated by the legendary great sage at the dawn of the continent, regardless of race and occasion. , the supreme law that is always applicable.
There are strict rules such as no killing, no stealing, and no over-arming. Anyone who breaks these taboos or sky islands will be sanctioned by the autonomous organizations of all other sky islands. If they are unable to do so, the Wing Guard Army will act on their behalf. .
However, in Article 4, Section 3 of the Sky Island Charter, it is clearly described that the Wing Guards are an organization established to resist invaders from outside the Sky Island. Although it is a super organization that manages and coordinates different Sky Islands, it itself is incompetent. The right to interfere in the political activities of various sky island cities.
However, under certain circumstances, the Wing Guards can directly interfere with the regime of the Sky Island, that is, the autonomous regime of the Sky Island is no longer able to guarantee the continuation of the behavior of the Sky Island where it is located, such as the Sky Island on the 15th. This was the first time that the island fell into the hands of beasts.
Even if this is not the fault of the ruling regime of Sky Island No. 15, and the situation of losing the island did not happen in the end, if someone uses this to attack the ruling family of Sky Island No. 15, Spate, it will be a big mistake. It was a very troublesome matter, and it was no wonder that the big white cat man made such a fuss about it.
At this time, Wu Ke was already in the library on the airship, flipping through a book on the basic description of floating continents in his hand.
On the other side, the upright white cat man of the Spart family has reached a political deal with the upright lizard man Gray Rock Skin.
That is to say, Gray Rock Skin provided him with a cover to cover up the fact that Sky Island No. 15 was almost lost to beasts, so as to avoid the situation where some guys might attack the Spat family and find trouble.
What the Spat family needs to pay is to support Gray Rock Skin's view on the goblin soldiers. The golden goblin is not a weapon, but the guardian of the sky island. It is a living life, not a so-called consumable.
"Is there any book about the golden fairies?"
Wu Ke asked directly.
"How can there be such a book? At least it is not available in the library of our ship."
A very delicate-looking bunny girl with a pair of large-framed glasses on her nose answered, holding a book next to her.
"However, if you want to know something about Lisha and the others, I can answer some of your questions based on what I know."
After a pause, Livian added.
"Their situation is not good, and they are still regarded as weapons and consumables. Why?"
Wu Ke asked directly, and the answer he got from Rabbit Girl was somewhat similar to the answer he got from the two girls, but they were different in details.
"In the legend, it was humans who created the beast five hundred years ago, and the beast destroyed the world, so humans are regarded as the murderers who destroyed the world.
Of course, in today's era, people think that the humans who destroyed the world in the past have long been exterminated by the beasts they created.
However, some people regard the golden fairies, who can control powerful magic just like humans, as the descendants of the human race.
But today's Sky Island people, because the materials on the Sky Island are relatively scarce, most people's lives are relatively poor and poor. Therefore, many people yearn for the vast and abundant above-ground world.
But the ground has been occupied by beasts. Those beasts will destroy anyone who wants to build a city on the surface, but the idea of letting people return to life on the surface cannot be realized.
Therefore, the people on the empty island are full of hatred for the human race that destroyed the surface world and made it impossible for everyone to return to the surface world..."
"resentment?"
Miss Rabbit Girl couldn't speak directly, so Wu Ke added something for her.
"Well, I hate them all the way down, and most people are hostile to them. They are rumored to be the descendants of the golden goblins."
Livian nodded and said.
"Even if the golden fairies are a group that protects them from being harmed by beasts?"
Wu Ke asked.
"Yes, many people take this as a matter of course. As the last descendants of mankind, they should go to other races that were affected by what humans did five hundred years ago and thus lost the possibility of living on the surface. an act of atonement.”
Livian answered.
"Has this been the case for the five hundred years since the Sky Island appeared?"
Wu Ke asked again.
"Yes."
"Then the golden fairies, are they the last descendants of mankind?"
"I don't know about this."
The rabbit girl shook her head, looked carefully at the featureless Wu Ke, and suddenly asked.
"Excuse me, what race are you?"
"Cannibals, or some other rare race?"
Livian was a little curious. She was a knowledgeable librarian.
For non-recruitment races, most people may not be able to tell the difference.
But she can tell the difference from the details.
For example, the cannibal's bright red eyes are a characteristic feature.
However, for the man who was brought here by Lu Xilai and said to be the guest of Chief Gray Rock Pi.
Livian couldn't recognize him. She didn't find any characteristics in this person that didn't belong to him.
Except for the human race that has been judged to be extinct...
Faced with this problem, Wu Ke was somewhat silent.
After thinking for a while, he put out his horns and tail, and replied: "I am a member of the Sakaz tribe!"
This is the posture that Wu Ke got when he obtained the demon king's brand from the Sakaz tribe's legend in the world of Terra. However, it was later suppressed by the transformation spell. It just so happened that this race with characteristics was better than the race without characteristics. It is more visible in the world.
"Sarkaz, is there a branch of the ghost race?"
Livian's long ears twitched as she asked.
"Just take it as such."
Wu Ke said something perfunctory and turned to the book describing the beasts in this world.
In this world, there are a total of seventeen kinds of beasts, and they occupy the surface world.
Among these seventeen kinds of beasts, the books only have a strong description of the sixth beast.
Not because of anything else, but because the sixth beast is the one among all the beasts that has the ability to attack floating islands flying high in the sky.
"When spring and summer come every year, the sixth beast will be like dandelion seeds, borrowing special terrain on the surface, and being blown up into the sky by strong winds. Although many floating islands will go to avoid it in advance, this sixth beast will The drifting attack of the beast, but some floating islands cannot be avoided and will be invaded by the sixth beast attached to the islands..."
Seeing Wu Ke reading this introductory book about beasts, Rabbit Girl Livian quickly started talking about information that was not in the book.
"The Wing Guards are the busiest at this time, but they have to patrol the channels where strong air currents exist, and help some floating islands to shoot down the sixth beast that floats up and approaches back to the ground..."
The bunny girl's talk turned Wu Ke's attention to her. Suddenly Wu Ke felt that instead of flipping through books to find the information he wanted to know, it would be more convenient to ask this knowledgeable humanoid rabbit directly. , and also more efficient.
Thinking of this, Wu Ke did this and asked Rabbit Girl many questions, and the other party also answered them one by one. As long as they were common sense and not too secretive questions, Livian could explain them clearly, but as long as they involved When it comes to secrets about this world and things about human beings five hundred years ago, the other party cannot answer them because of the lack of information.
After the Q&A ended, Wu Ke got information that could perfectly disguise him as a native Sky Islander in this world.
And is this information useful?
Yes, it can avoid the situation where he may have misunderstandings about the strange customs of some races in this world.
They were all names of dark dishes that made him, the messenger of justice, harden his fists when he heard them. If he didn't know this information and met the cannibal clan holding a banquet, he would probably be able to do it in a matter of seconds. Destroy that race.
"Don't listen to cannibals called cannibals. Their natures are also full of violence and bloodthirsty, but they are famous medical staff on Sky Island.
On hundreds of floating islands, the best surgeons, nurses, and of course the top vegetarian chefs are all people from the cannibal race. "
"Let's talk about the relationship between beasts, humans, and the golden fairies. Isn't there anyone in this world who knows the specific relationship between these three?"
"There are such people!"
Bunny Girl replied.
"Hey, who?"
Wu Ke quickly asked.
"The Great Sage, Mr. Swan Kandel."
Livian said without hesitation.
"Isn't this the person who created your world's floating continent group more than five hundred years ago and led other races to escape from the surface world?"
Wu Ke picked up the book he read first. The author's signature on it was [Swan Kandel], and he couldn't help but ask: "Is this person still alive?"
"Of course he is still alive. The Great Sage is the world's number one conjurer and one of the founders of the Floating Continent Group. He is a legend who has lived from the legendary era to the present era. He is still serving as the military commander of our Wing Guard Army. Where’s the consultant?”
Livian puffed out her chest, as if introducing a great man she admired, and introduced Wu Ke loudly.
For any Sky Islander in this world, the great sage who has continued the living environment and civilization of multiple races is indeed a great man who should be respected by everyone.
"Then where is this great sage now?"
Wu Ke asked with some joy, what could be more simple and direct to understand about the situation of this world than asking a being who has lived through history?
"I heard that the Great Sage lives on the Second Floating Island."
"Then where is the second floating island?"
"I don't know. The floating islands No. 1 and 2 are not open to the public, and no one knows the locations of those two floating islands."
"So, you don't have any contact with that great sage on weekdays?"
"No, we are in contact, but we are communicating with the other two islands through the third floating island, which is the island where our Wing Guard Army headquarters is located."
This kind of thing is a secret to people outside the Wing Guard Army, but it is not a secret to higher-ranking officials within the Wing Guard Army.
Although Ms. Rabbit's position is not high, she is the librarian on the Gray Rock Airship. She also does clerical work such as secretarial work on weekdays, so she is very aware of these things.
"So, if I want to find out the situation from that great sage, do I have to go through your Wing Guard Army?"
Wu Ke asked.
"Normally, this is the case, but His Excellency the Great Sage is not something anyone can meet if they want."
Miss Rabbit looked at Wu Ke with some curiosity, guessing the other person's identity in her heart.
Wu Ke went straight out of the library and found Hui Yanpi, who was busy writing a report on the floating island incident on the 15th.
The lizard man was a little surprised when he saw him pushing the door open, because the guard outside didn't come over to inform him of this man's arrival.
However, Hui Yanpi, who knew that Wu Ke was not an ordinary person, did not panic. He just asked the person who entered the room in a calm voice: "Mr. SD, come here to see me. Do you have anything else?"
"I want to see your Wing Guard's military advisor, the great sage, Swann Kandel."
Wu Ke said straight to the point.
"Why?"
Gray Rockpipe asked with a frown.
"Because I want to know the truth about this world five hundred years ago, as well as the specific situation of the golden goblin clan, and your great sage is the person most likely to know all this."
The words were too direct, and Hui Yanpi didn't know how to respond for a moment. After thinking about it, he said: "I can help you convey your message to the great sage. As for whether the great sage can see you, I don't know. But I can’t be the master.”
"Tell him that I can help him solve the problem of this world beast, but I need to know some truth and facts inside."
Gray Rock Skin: "..."
Strangers who just met today and have only communicated with each other for less than half an hour said such outrageous words.
For five hundred years, the Sky Island people have not solved the beast problem, but this man said that he could help solve it. Even a person with a calm personality like him is a little speechless now and cannot evaluate the man in front of him.
[Hey, wait a minute, when we met before, did this person have horns on his head and a tail behind his butt? 】
Just when Hui Yanpi was frowning and thinking, he heard Wu Ke continue: "The Seventeen Beasts are legendary biological weapons created by humans, but they suddenly appeared in various places on the surface of the world five hundred years ago. And it destroyed the surface world. Do you think it was really a biological weapon?
Or maybe it could be said that the Seventeen Beasts were actually transformed into a race of humans, and in order to hide this truth, you blocked all the history about this period of five hundred years ago? "
Gray Rock Skin: "!!!"
"Let me guess again. The golden fairies are actually members of the beasts, but they are just beasts that have maintained their sanity. Am I right?"
"Your inference is somewhat surprising, but I don't know if it is correct."
Hui Yanpi shook his head and did not admit it.
"I'm just guessing. I've seen similar situations in the world, so I just want to ask for confirmation."
