The kingdom floating in the astral world is drawn to revolve around the azure planet, and the bright sun in the distance, which seems far less bright than before, will appear soon and then slowly disappear.

I don't know how many times they turned, the demons finally gradually completed the restoration of the floating city.

"The enchantment is stable!"

"The air circulation system on the basement level has stabilized, and it almost collapsed completely."

"Where is the water on the second and third floors underground, is it still pouring back?"

"already solved."

"Almost ready to reopen the portal, go to the basement to find the teleportation attendant."

The demon king arranged things in an orderly manner in front of the palace. It can be seen that the surface of the original floating city has become extremely cold, and there is almost no air, except for the demon clan, which is no longer suitable for ordinary life forms to survive.

A large number of demons piled up things in front of the moon tower and sent them to the next floor through a conveyor belt device.

The basement floor, which was originally empty, became lively. Luminous moss covers the dome and ground.

This mysterious plant from the fluorescent cave makes the whole world light up.

Column-shaped buildings connect the ground and top of this floor, with small windows open, and many of them are lit at the moment.

There is a jungle outside the columnar building, there is plenty of air, and there are running animals.

The upper floor of one of the pillared buildings.

The glass man stood on the window and looked outside. The flames surging in his body were vigorous and full of vitality. He looked at this man-made ecosystem curiously. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the apostle sitting under the bookshelf in the room.

"So, my name is Holios?"

Michelle crossed her legs and held a cup to taste the sweet tea she brought back from the world. She looked careless, but in the eyes of the demons, she was showing off to the extreme.

Demons have a tenacious life and a solid body, which sounds perfect, but they also lose the ability to experience some beautiful things.

Michel said: "If you think about it, at least you should be able to remember the name."

Holios thought about it for a while, and felt that the name Holios was very familiar: "I gave it to me?"

Michel raised her head, looked at Holios and said.

"It was taken for you by a man named Maman."

Holios found the name more familiar: "Maman?"

Michel nodded, and repeated again: "Well, Maman!" Holios walked back from the window. He seemed to think that this name was very important, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember the name behind it. meaning.

"who is she?

Michel smiled: "A guy who is as free as the wind and full of puzzles."

Michel seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he straightened his back, and took out one thing after another.

"Crack!" This is the sound of the book falling on the table.

"Bang!" This is the bottle containing the letter from the rainbow tree.

"Dum!" This is a delicate chimney-shaped pipe.

Michel laid out these three things, as if preparing for some grand and solemn ceremony, and asked Holios seriously.

"Holios, are you ready to accept your past?"

This is what Holios had entrusted to Michel.

Holios also sat down, sitting opposite Michelle.

"I'm ready," he said.

Hollios looked at the three things: "Which one should I start with?"

Finally, he reached out and picked up the book called "Maman's Fantastic Adventure".

Fortunately, the writing is still clear, and the price is cheap, which is one of the reasons why this story has been widely circulated recently.

Holios had read the stories in them many times.

However, the stories Maman tells are not systematic, they are all scattered stories.

Because it was originally a collection of stories she told the children, and it was passed on orally among the various colleges and children in Deland City, just like many folk tales.

However, it was suddenly compiled and printed into a book, and spread to all parts of Ruhe Giant Island. It seemed as if someone was promoting all of this. Although Michel was limited in time, he did not investigate the reason behind it.

But he can also roughly guess who did it.

When thinking of this, Michel suddenly glanced at the glass man in front of him.

perhaps.

He has already prepared everything.

Under the light, Holios read the story in the book.

"Maman was born in a noble and extraordinary family with thousands of years of blood. When she was born, her mother dreamed that she came from the stars." "She was born different, and she was destined to go."

Gradually, the figure of the fire demon appeared in the story, and Holios guessed it immediately, and he asked excitedly.

"It's me, is it me?"

When he heard that Maman had given him a name, and heard that Maman had turned him into a demon and then left, he seemed a little reconciled, and looked at the words in the book with his head down.

He seemed to want to hear in the story, whether Maman came back to find him later.

But gradually became fascinated by the later story.

Immersed in the picture of flying a kite across the sea and sky, immersed in the dream of chasing shooting stars in the sand sea where the sun is falling, and the adventure story in the kingdom of winged people.

Everything seemed to make him feel longing and excited.

Then, there is endless regret.

because.

He doesn't appear in those stories.

In Mamana's legendary life, he was just a short passerby, and his only participation was the letters sent from afar.

It's like in a legendary story, a supporting role that only appeared in one scene, a supporting role that is a little better than Passerby A.

Until the end, Michel finished reading the last sentence.

"In the end, she rode the shooting star she picked up and flew towards the stars."

"Fly, fly, fly..."

"She came from among the stars, and she belongs to the stars at last."

Finally closed the book.

Michel looked at Holios: "This is Maman's story, and it is also your origin."

Holios was a little silent after listening, and after a while he asked, "Is it true?"

Michel said, "Of course it is true!"

Michelle patted the jar full of letters: "Look at these letters, all of them were sent to you by Maman, can there be fake ones?"

Hollios took the pipe and wiped it carefully.

"Is this the pipe Maman gave me?"

The ignorant demon seems to really believe it.

But he raised his head unwillingly: "But, is this the end of the story?"

Until the end, he failed to appear in Maman's story again. Michel said: "The story is not over yet, maybe Maman will send you a letter, then you will know what's next?" "Besides, didn't you say you want to build a starship ?”

"Where Maman can go, you can go too."

The more Holios thought about it, the angrier he became, he said loudly.

"It turns out that Maman is such a guy, it's too disgusting, she left me and ran away alone."

"I don't want her to send any letters. It's equivalent to traveling with her. It's really disgusting."

"I don't need to travel with her, I can go alone." "I can also conquer the sea and the sky, and I can also go to the stars."

Having said that, Holios' voice sounded more unwilling than angry.

Because he yearned so much for the freedom and beauty in the story, but that freedom and beauty did not take him with him.

He stood up and leaned forward to slap the table.

"Snapped!"

"Woo~"

Flames burst from his ears, and he spoke loudly to Michelle.

"I want to catch up with her, I want to drive my starship through the vast sea of ​​stars, and then pass by her without mercy."

"I'm going to stand in front of the window of my astral ship and tell that guy not to get complacent."

"What a genius."

"I will be more talented, more free and unruly than her. Not only will I not run slowly, but I will definitely be faster than her and everyone."

In the days that followed, Holios seemed to be the same as before.

He was completely immersed in the extraordinary fire element, steam engine, iron-clad ship and all kinds of extraordinary knowledge, but compared to the last time, he seemed to have stronger talent and stronger power this time. But in addition to the necessary study and practice, and wanting to build the ship of the sky and the ship of the astral world.

He also often holds the bottle, opening the letter inside again and again, looking over and over again, looking at every word and even every stroke inside.

This stroke is a bit heavy, and he would imagine that she used some force when writing. Seeing the long tail of a word, he would think that Maman must be very happy when she wrote this sentence.

Occasionally.

He would also quietly come to the Rainbow Tree in the Floating Void City by himself, and look into the tree hole.

Seeing someone, he pretended to walk away casually.

But when there was no one, he ran to the rainbow tree and wandered around, and then looked inside.

this day.

Holios came under the tall rainbow tree. He looked around and waited until there was no one to get closer, and carefully put his hand into the tree hole.

He touched it for a long time, and it seemed that he really touched something.

The flames in Hollios' glass head surged suddenly, then whimpered and rolled, emitting puffs of smoke.

This is not angry, but a little excited.

He immediately withdrew his hand, and saw a letter folded into a paper airplane pinched in his transparent fingers.

Before it was opened, he called out a name.

"It's Maman!"

Holios had a premonition that this must have been sent to him by Maman, a letter from the stars.

He couldn't wait to open the letter, and sure enough, the handwriting on it was so familiar.

Looking at the name left behind, it is the name that represents a beautiful dream. He couldn't wait to squat under the rainbow tree and start reading, and after reading one meter, he seemed to be floating.

He passed under the flower tree, ran quickly across the street, and ran towards the house. At the door of his house, he met Michel who came to look for him.

Michel also saw the letter in Holios' hand at a glance, and guessed what it was.

"Is it Maman's letter?"

Hollios kept nodding and said happily.

"Mmmmm, yes."

"It's Maman's letter, it's Maman's letter from the stars."

"she says."

"She's waiting for me on the stars!"

Holios was as happy as a child when he received the letter. He grabbed the letter and waved it around, but when he saw Michel looking at him with an uncontrollable smile, Holios froze. .

He slowly withdrew his light and flirty movements, showing that he didn't care about Sanmenu at all.

"I mean."

"That guy, come to show off to me again."

However, he said swearingly.

"It's really disgusting."

"What are you waiting for me? It's as if I can't catch up with her back. It's too arrogant."

"Look, I will build my skyship soon, and then I will build my starship, and let her know how powerful I am."

Also on the day the letter was received.

Michel and Holios came to the surface, on the moon tower of the floating city.

Standing at the highest point of the city, the two looked up at the stars beyond the sky.

They looked at the stars together.

Holios' pupils reflected the dim light in the depths: "Michelle, how far do you think she has flown?"

Michelle thought for a while and said, "She has been away for a long time, she must be far away!"

Holios nodded: "Then I have to speed up so that I can catch up with her."

Michelle turned her head.

He looked to the side of Holios.

Looking at the other party's persistent and serious appearance, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

However, there was a trace of regret deep in those eyes.

After building the sky train, Michelle has become the apostle of the Demon God.

It sounds like his life has been fulfilled enough.

However, like Holios, Michel never meant to stop, and he still wanted to continue building his own astral train.

And at this point, it is no longer the apostle's business.

because.

Without the power of myth, there is no way to travel alone in the astral world.

He had already made up his mind that he wanted to become the fourth existence in the demon **** system to embark on the road to becoming a **** after Lei, the demon king, and the demon queen.

In the Temple of Insay in the Demon Pyramid.

Michel met Elena, the **** of demons, under the statue. This stalwart and tall figure stood under the statue of the Creator, and the armor under the broad cloak shone coldly.

Michel leaned forward to salute, with her head lowered under the hilt of the opponent's Ruhe sword.

Elena asked Michelle: "How do you plan to build your astral train?"

"Think about it again, have you really taken the path in the future?"

Michel stood up and said to Elena slowly.

"Lord Elena!"

"Originally, I just wanted to build a train that can run between the stars."

"I hope that demon spirits, snake people, winged people, and all intelligent species can take my train and go to the other side of the starry sky."

Michel's eyes sparkled, as if he saw some pictures.

"They will stand on a high platform in the city and watch a train come in the distant sea of ​​​​stars, passing through the atmosphere and the sea of ​​​​clouds."

"They boarded this car, went to those unreachable places, left this cradle of civilization, and went to another great country of intelligent civilization."

"That must be very romantic."

Elena: "And now?"

Michel said the original, so it means that his ideas and dreams must have changed.

In the ancient and sacred hall, the devil who created the steam train changed his proud and conceited posture in the past, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

Because when you meet someone who is really gentle and romantic, your heart will become soft and romantic.

He said.

"Before."

"I only care about our demons, whether my steam train is fast enough, and whether it is good enough."

"I feel that as long as my train is fast enough, I can reach any corner of the world, and nowhere can stop me."

"I'll fly over continents, I'll fly over seas."

"Not even the sky and the astral world can stop me."

"But this time, I experienced something in the world."

Michel lowered her head, and seemed to sigh faintly, looking a little sad.

"I suddenly discovered that what is farther than the distance in space is years and time.

A certain shadow appeared in his eyes, and then he continued.

"No matter how far the distance in space is, we will be able to reach it one day."

"But in the face of the passage of time, no matter what we do, it is impossible to catch up with it."

"Not only can we not leave what is doomed to pass away, but we cannot recover what has been lost."

"Some people want to stay young, some people want to be with the people they like, some people want to go on adventures far away, but all of these will eventually end, and some travels are destined not to take place."

"Because we can't fight against time."

He said: "No matter how fast my astral train runs in the future, the long distance is destined to span a long time, and some people are destined not to reach the end."

Elena asked Michelle: "What do you want to do?"

Michel talked about the embryonic body of the universal manufacturing machine he saw at the Silver Fish Sky Port. Although it had only just begun to be built, he was able to see its incredible power in the future.

At that time, Michel wanted to build something that could match or even surpass the universal manufacturing machine.

"Until I met the Ice Fairy."

"Their incredible power can freeze the years and keep time."

"We may not be able to be as powerful as they are, but can we try to use the power of our metal puppet monsters to save time a little bit?"

"Let it not fly so fast, let it wait for us." Finally, Michel raised his head and said to the demon god.

"I think, can we make a time control machine." "It can slow down the time in our magic tools, our trains, and our spaceships, so that no matter how long the journey is, it will take a hundred years A thousand years is also equal to hundreds of years, decades or even a few years or less."

"I hope my train is not only a train that crosses the star sea, but also a time train that can retain time."

He looked at his **** with anticipation in his eyes.

This is not something he can do alone, it is something that can only be done by the people of the Demon Abyss left over from the ancient times. And to build it and perfect it, it takes more than a day or two.

therefore.

The only person who can make this happen is Elena in front of her. Elena, the **** of demon spirits, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head after a while and said to Michelle.

"Time control machine?"

"That's a nice idea."

After listening, Michelle laughed happily.

He knew that this was what Elena meant when she said she agreed. This **** who is not good at expressing emotions and is used to being silent has always been like this.

The ideal is lofty and full.

but.

The reality is so cruel.

Before the Demon King's Palace, Michel, who just swore to Elena that she would embark on the road to becoming a god, and suggested building a time control machine, turned around and came to a room here, and sat at a long table .

The metal puppet monster on the long table looked at Michel and recognized him immediately.

"Michelle?"

"What are you doing here?"

Michel said, "Borrow money!"

Next door is the department of the Demon King's Palace responsible for printing magic gold coins, and this is the place to lend money to the monsters. When some newborn monsters have no money to build their first magic equipment, they usually choose to come here.

However, most of the people who come here are low-level demon spirits, and this is the first time a rich local family like Michelle has seen them.

The other party was very surprised: "Are you also short of money?"

Michel's mouth twisted: "Why can't I be short of money?"

The other party confirmed that Michel was not joking: "What do you want money for?

Michelle said, "Build the Skytrain."

The other party was even more strange: "Don't you already have one?"

Michel said, "Can't I build another one?"

The other party had nothing to say after listening, and could only mutter about being rich and willful.

Although he didn't know how long the deadline would be, Michel felt as if there was a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and he always felt that the sky train he had just built might be taken away at any time.

After signing the contract document, Michel couldn't help scratching her head as she looked at the terrifying number.

"The debt is so high!"

The demon in charge of the loan said, "You should think about it from a different angle.

"If you don't owe debts, how can you have the motivation to fight?"

"The more you owe, the more motivated you will be?"

"The more you borrow, the faster you get stronger, and the faster you get stronger, the faster you can pay back the money, and then you can borrow more money."

"that's all…"

Borrowing money sounds like a perpetual motion machine to the other party. Michel originally sneered, stood up and was about to leave, but thought about it carefully.

Suddenly feel.

This seems to make sense. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

He sat down again and asked very seriously: "Then can I borrow some more?"

In this case, why don't I borrow enough capital to become a **** at one time, and then after I become a god, wouldn't it be much easier to pay back the money?

Michel seems to have found another way to become a god, borrowing money to become a god.

wrong.

I have become a god, who would dare to ask me to collect debts?

The other party didn't know Michel's crazy idea: "How much to borrow?" Michel: "How much do you have, is it enough to become a god?"

The other party didn't speak for a long time, and a question mark seemed to be squeezed out of the iron lump's head.

"?"

There are not so many palaces, but he still said in an official tone: "We need mortgages. You just mortgaged everything that should be mortgaged. What else can be mortgaged."

Michelle had already thought about it: "I mortgage the labor rights for 200 million years, this should be enough."

It seemed to sense some bad thoughts in Michel's mind. Until the end, Michel's loan was not approved.

"I'm sorry, but according to the assessment, your loan is too risky and will not be approved."

The plan to become a **** of loans has just begun, but it fell into bankruptcy.
