NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 125 The Shining Tower
The Boulder City, which was suspected to be in the deep sea, could not see the sky, but when night fell, a tall tower shining with a faint blue light became brighter.

There is an empty square in the middle of the ruins of Boulder City, and the dilapidated tower stands in the center of the square. It is strange that they did not notice such an obvious building before entering the square, as if it had just appeared.

"This...looks delicious!" Elstina sighed sincerely with her eyes shining.

An Mio's feet froze. Since Elstina got acquainted with them, she has completely exposed her nature. Now the standard she uses to evaluate a thing has become whether it is delicious or not.

But even though she said so, Elstina hadn't eaten the "delicious food" in her mouth, but she would encourage Erika to try it from time to time, but An Mio stopped them.

Passing through the obstacles caused by the collapse of the broken stone pillar in the center of the square, the three approached the tower.

After really getting close, Mio realized that this tower was not made of huge stones like other buildings, but a tower made of energy.

High-purity energy aggregates are the Zerg's favorite. After seeing the essence of the tower, Elstina immediately stepped forward to check it. An Mio was afraid that she would bite the tower in the past.

Fortunately, Elstina didn't do that, she just put her hand on it.

And the moment Elstina's hand touched the body of the tower, the shining spire suddenly flickered.

There was red light flashing on the blue tower, and a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in An Mio's ear:
"During the identity check, no visitor data was found, and the activation of the Shining Tower failed."

It was a strange language, but An Mio could understand its meaning, and it felt as if she had crossed the language and had a direct conversation with the soul.

"I'll go! What is this?" Elstina took a step back abruptly, with a look of astonishment on her face.

Erika looked at the shimmering tower, showing a thoughtful look, An Mio's heart moved, did Erika finally remember something?

"Sister Chongzi, is your touching posture wrong?" Erica asked after thinking carefully.

"..."

An Mio almost died on the spot, she gave Elstina a hard look, it was her fault that Erica became like this.

However, the latter just shifted his gaze elsewhere with a guilty conscience, with an expression that I am not what I don't have.

Ignoring the two of them, An Mio stepped forward and put her hand on it. The situation was the same as that of Elstina, and the mechanized voice came again.

Is that really the case?An Mio called Erika over. She didn't think she could activate this so-called Shining Tower, but just wanted to verify her guess.

"Put your hand on it and try it." An Mio said to Erika.

Erica didn't hesitate at Mio's words, she lightly touched the body of the tower with her hand.

The flickering light of the high tower suddenly disappeared, and circles of blue light patterns passed from bottom to top to the top of the tower.

After a moment of silence, everything returned to normal. A light door appeared in front of the shining tower, and at the same time the mechanical voice came again: "The identity detection is successful. The shining tower has been activated. Welcome, number G57."

As expected, this place has something to do with Erica, An Mio's guess is not wrong, maybe there can be clues to Erica's identity here.

Erica listened to the mechanical voice, and she lowered her head when she heard the name number G57. After a while, she raised her head again and said seriously to the tower: "My sister said my name is Erica."

It's a pity that there was no voice to respond to her again. That voice seemed to just say the established words, and it didn't have the function of talking to people.

"What do you mean?" Elstina leaned close to An Mio's ear and asked.

"It's none of your business." An Mio glanced at Elstina Ann, she naturally knew that this guy wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about Erika again.

The point is that Mio herself doesn't know this.

"Tch, stingy!" Elstina ignored An Mio, and ran to Erica before An Mio.

After the tower was activated, it did not prevent Mio and Elstina from entering, and the three of them entered the tower together.

The interior of the tower is much more spacious than it looks from the outside. The first floor is a hall, which is already dilapidated. Same.

They were obviously not the first batch of people to enter here, but at least several hundred years had passed since the last time someone entered here, and this place has remained like this for hundreds of years.

Basically all the things in the lobby have been rummaged through, and at a glance, they can't find any valuable information. Since the first floor is like this, it's not much better to go to other places.

"One day we will come back, even the gods can't stop it, and the history of mankind will not end here."

Erica looked at the scene in the hall, and suddenly said such a strange sentence.

"What does this mean?" An Mio looked at Erica, she didn't think Erica would say such inexplicable words by herself.

"I don't know!" Erica shook her head.

"Then who did you hear that from?"

"It's written on the wall over there."

"..."

An Mio looked towards the direction Erica was pointing at, and there was indeed a line of graffiti-like things on the wall over there. An Mio did not expect that it was actually a kind of writing.

However, nothing can be deduced from such an unclear sentence alone. Only then An Mio suddenly noticed something. Elstina disappeared at some point.

"Sister Chongzi said, she went upstairs by herself." Erica said.

"Let's go up too." An Mio nodded.

The second floor is almost the same as the first floor. When Mio and Erica came up, Elstina was looking for something intently.

"What are you doing?" Mio asked.

"Look for something to eat, there must be something delicious hidden in such a big place." Elstina said without looking back.

"..."

There are nine floors in the tower. An Mio and the others found a teleportation device on the last floor. This was their only harvest. Everything else was looted, and only this thing could not be moved.

What is surprising is that this teleportation device has been kept in operation. On the wall next to it is a star map, marking one point after another, and this teleportation device is also one of the points.

It can be seen from the star map that the next station connected to the teleportation device in front of them is no longer in the Ayla galaxy. This is a teleportation device across galaxies.

The teleportation device is similar to the star gate, which is used for space jumping, but this kind of device is also hierarchical. The most basic teleportation device or star gate is generally used for the connection between two planets, while the higher level The higher-level ones can cross star regions, and this kind of inter-galaxy teleportation device is already very advanced.

"The next stop is the Aurora galaxy!" Elstina stared at the star map for a long time, and finally became excited. Although the star map was a little different from what she remembered, she could still roughly judge the star map. The next stop of this teleportation device is the Aurora galaxy.

Aurora galaxy, that is the current name of Elstina's hometown Usuflar galaxy, it is normal for her to be so excited.

That place is no stranger to An Mio, it is a haunted place of space pirates and a holy place for adventurers, the key is that there is an old acquaintance of the former pirate queen in that place.

They found another way to leave Planet Aiur except for the transfer station of the Imperial space. This is great news for An Mio, which means that she can leave Planet Aiur without paying the huge fee.

However, what makes her regret is that she has not yet raised her strength to the strongest level on El Star. According to An Mio's original plan, when she leaves El Star, all her professions should have reached the highest level of El Star.

Of course, it’s not too early to leave now, after all, Star Aiur will soon enter a chaotic time, and the empire and the dawn will come to Aiur for the sake of the so-called Nova.

After entering here, An Mio found information about Nova in this tower. The so-called Nova refers to the eyes of the phantom giant they saw.

The phantom of the giant is also the illusion of that eye. Nova is called the eye of the gods, and the annihilation light emitted can destroy everything.Of course, this is all pure nonsense. In fact, Nova is the product of the combination of science and magic. It was born to protect the Boulder City and eliminate all threats to the Boulder City.

It attacked Elstina's receiving gate before because the energy fluctuations that Elstina needed to cause when passing through the receiving gate were too large, which made Nova feel threatened.

After a short period of excitement, Elstina looked at the star map and fell silent. As long as she used the teleportation device in front of her, she could return to her hometown of Usuflar.

But now she was suddenly a little scared, even though An Mio already knew that the current Usufral was no longer what she used to be, but she didn't dare to verify all this in person.

"Aren't you leaving?" An Mio asked with a smile after seeing Elstina's appearance.

"I was just thinking about what kind of posture it would be more face-saving to go back!" Elstina said.

"..."

"Are you really going to leave here? This is your hometown." Elstina said.

"It doesn't matter, come back when you want to come back!" An Mio replied casually. To her, there is no concept of hometown. To her, this place is just a novice village. Naturally, she can't live forever. stay here.

"Tch, to put it lightly! Do you know how long I have been working hard to come back?" Elstina muttered dissatisfiedly, and then she looked at Erica again: "What does Erica think?"

"I don't care! I'll go wherever my sister goes." Erica replied without thinking.

"..."

Elstina gave up asking An Mio and Erica about this matter, but she felt a lot more relaxed this way.

"Have you figured it out? After thinking it over, let's go." An Mio walked into the teleportation device first.
