Pastor of Tomorrow's Ark

Aiyafala said softly on the side.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye turned to look at Eyjafala:

"Want to go up?"

"If possible, I want to go up..." Eyjafala nodded, "Very few volcanologists have the opportunity to go to the crater for observation and inspection on the eve of the eruption."

"If it is really possible to go up, then the research on parents... will definitely have a breakthrough."

Eyjafala said softly.

"I'll take you up." Bai Ye said slowly, "But...it depends on whether you have the guts."

"Of course." Eyjafala nodded.

"I probably understand why Dr. Kelsey asked me to come here..." Bai Ye said this for the second time.

After activating the shield to isolate the surrounding source stone particles and smoke, Bai Ye reached out and hugged Eyjafala.

"Eh...Senior?" Eyjafala looked at Bai Ye with a flushed face.

Bai Ye slightly bent his legs, then jumped high into the sky, and flew towards the crater.

……

Although viewed from the air or from a distance, the crater looks like a small bowl.

However, when he actually landed on the crater, Bai Ye discovered that the crater was surrounded by several peaks, and the crater was wider than he had imagined.

"If it was before crossing, I would never have imagined that one day I would actually stand on the crater of a volcano that is about to erupt, looking at the active source stone energy and magma..."

Bai Ye put Eyjafala down, and then expanded the range of the shield.

"In just one day, the temperature here has already risen..."

Bai Ye shook his head, and then took out the monitoring equipment that Eyjafala had been using.

"Collecting data here, it's really... the first time for me..."

Eyjafala did not show joy or excitement as Bai Ye imagined, she looked at the huge crater, and still maintained a calm.

"Senior White Night, do you know that my parents once drafted an investigation project on Terra's naturally occurring natural disaster system, and volcanoes are the key investigation objects in this project."

Eyjafala slowly opened the mouth while debugging the equipment.

"Then, they encountered a pyroclastic flow..."

"Afterwards, my first investigation was more than three years ago. Actually, my school did not support my participation so early. It's just that some of the information left by my parents can only be interpreted by me."

"I didn't want the program to be discontinued...I don't think Mom and Dad wanted the program to be discontinued either. I was the one who insisted on joining the next field trip in their place."

Eyjafala said and pressed the button to turn on the detection device.

Then, the girl said shyly:

"Senior...Because I saw such a scene, I couldn't help expressing my feelings, and suddenly said something strange, please don't mind..."

"It's okay..." Bai Ye shook his head.

"Senior, is this the first time I've seen a volcano?" Eyjafala set his sights on Bai Ye.

"It is indeed the first time." Bai Ye nodded, "I have never had such an opportunity to observe a volcano that is about to erupt up close before."

"Senior is much calmer than me... Volcanoes are dangerous. My mother told me that since I was a child. My mother said that the flames alone can easily swallow a house. In terms of volcanoes, they are monsters with energy in their stomachs." A giant. A giant may have no extra thoughts, but when it opens its mouth, breathes or coughs at will, it changes the earth."

Listening to Aiyafala's words, Bai Ye nodded slightly:

"Although I can't see it on the surface, I can feel the energy contained under the crater."

"It's a bit funny to say. When I was very young, I didn't really understand the work of my parents. At that time, in my heart, my parents were warriors who challenged giants." Aiyafala said, stroking the slightly curled ears hair strands.

"Senior, when I saw the volcano for the first time, I was not in the crater, but my eyes are not as good as they are now. I can see clearly. My ears are still sensitive."

"I still remember the rushing crimson, and the huge sound in my ears... It was as if a monster was about to break free from the shackles of the earth, roaring and crawling towards me."

"It's different from what's written or drawn in all the books...it's a living giant.

My legs seemed to be frozen.I can't walk.I didn't even dare to exhale for a while, until I couldn't hold it anymore, I coughed until tears flowed down my face. "

While speaking, Eyjafala looked at the white night that was still calm:

"Compared to my predecessors, I really suck."

"That's because... I once broke into a natural disaster cloud alone, and I also witnessed a natural disaster that was enough to destroy a city."

"Do you know what it's like in the disaster cloud? There are golden lightning bolts everywhere, violent energy flows, and origin stone crystal clusters that are as huge as a whole building—they are in the disaster cloud Spin slowly."

"Then, I knew the horror of natural disasters—"

Bai Ye recalled what he saw in Qiecheng before, and let out a breath slowly.

"So I understand how brave you guys are when you face natural disasters. How should I put it... In fact, I am an extraordinary existence. Because I have seen more powerful things and because I have power, I am not too brave. Fear."

Bai Ye clenched his fist:

"For example, if I jump into the current crater, I can still survive, I can swim in the magma, and I can even stand here to witness the eruption of this volcano."

"These are all because I have the power to resist natural disasters, so I will behave so calmly."

Saying this, Bai Ye turned to look at Aiyafala:

"Xiao Yang, people like you and your parents are mortals in the true sense compared to me. They are extremely fragile. Debris flow, flames, poisonous origin stone dust...even if it is not the natural disaster itself , there are so many things that will take your life."

"But, even if you are so small, you can still come here with courage, and work hard to uncover the secrets that the earth hides from you. I admire you very much. If it were me, I really couldn't do it. arrive."

Bai Ye looked at the volcano and admitted his weak side.

From the very beginning, he was not a strong person. He also grew up from a mortal. Because his strength gradually became stronger, his heart gradually became stronger.

"Actually... I can't say I'm not afraid... I will be afraid too." Eyjafala suddenly laughed.

"Senior, every time before going out for an investigation, my mother would squeeze into my little bed and hold me tightly until I fell asleep."

"Every time I come back from an investigation, my father always comes over and touches my head while sorting out the materials, and keeps saying 'that's great'."

"Senior, when I saw a real volcano for the first time, I realized that they set off with this fear every time."

"So, there is no such thing as bravery... We are indeed mortals, so we are afraid of losing every time."

Bai Ye also laughed:

"Because this is the strength of human beings. When you are so sad that you want to get rid of it, you are so scared that you can't move, your feet are shaking desperately, and you are in pain and you want to drop everything and run away. In this situation, you can take a step. Those who can laugh are the real strong."

"Senior said that, I'm a little embarrassed..." Eyjafala lowered his head.

Then, she said softly:

"I think, if my father and mother are here now and know what I am doing now, they will be happy... But, they will also be very angry. But I think they will understand me in the end."

Bai Ye nodded:

"Although I don't really want my children to take such a dangerous path, but if they know what you think, I think your parents will really understand you. Because they set foot on this road with this kind of mood. way."

"However, if I were your father, even at the cost of breaking up, I would prevent you from going down this path...hahaha."

"puff--"

Eyjafala couldn't help laughing too.

Bai Ye is right, perhaps, this is the contradiction of being a parent.

"In this way, senior will definitely be an unreasonable father in the future... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I said such a thing." Eyjafala said with a smile.

"Well, after all, I'm the tough one. But then again, in the end, there will always be a party who compromises. It may be the elders, or it may be the juniors. It depends on whose will is stronger—— If she has the courage and passion to reverse light and shadow, luck and disaster, sun and moon, then I can't admit her..."

Looking at the surging magma, Bai Ye said slowly.

"Senior may also be arrogant..." Eyjafala muttered aside.

"You can't say that... But, we seem to have gone too far..." Bai Ye rolled his eyes.

"That's right..." Eyjafala scratched his head with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the volcano is actually different from other natural disasters, but it is also caused by the energy fluctuation of the origin stone, right?" Bai Ye asked suddenly.

"Well, that's true. The data collected this time, combined with the information left by my parents and my thesis, should be able to determine the relationship between the two." Eyjafala nodded.

"So..." Bai Ye looked at the crater and said, "The reason for the formation of the rest of the natural disaster system is also related to the origin stone?"

"It's very possible... this is what Dad and Mom want to do - to study the causes of natural disasters, not just volcanoes, but the entire natural disaster system." Eyjafala replied.

"I really hope that you, Xiao Yang, can make some breakthroughs in your research... In this case, maybe my plan can be carried out smoothly..." Bai Ye said without thinking.

"Senior... do you want to do something?" Aiyafala asked curiously.

"Well, I want to do something..." Bai Ye nodded and admitted, "Afterwards, when the time is right, I will tell you."

"Well, then I look forward to that day." Aiyafala nodded with a smile.

"By the way, lamb, don't you have any other feelings about the volcano, such as resentment or something..."

After a long silence, Bai Ye asked again.

There was some tentative doubt in his words.

"If you have to say resentment... there is still a little bit of it. No, it's not right. Rather than resentment, I should say it's sadness. I miss my father and my mother very much. I just heard the news of their accident. I dare not Believe it's true."

"Father's Originium skills are obviously so good, and my mother has completed so many field trips in the past... I fell asleep in a daze in those nights, and I always saw imaginary volcanoes in my dreams, and then shouted or shouted. Waking up crying."

Eyjafala pinched the protective clothing with both hands, biting his lip.

"Fortunately, after I saw the volcano for the first time, this collapsed emotion gradually recovered. Besides the fear, I also felt a little...peace."

"Calm?" Bai Ye couldn't help exclaiming.

"I inevitably thought of my parents. At that moment, I suddenly thought, is the volcano they saw the same as the volcano I saw?"

"Scholars in the past saw the same volcanoes, right? Even in the past hundreds of years—whether it's the same place or not, these red magmas may still be as active as they are now."

"And even if I don't get sick, nothing unexpected happens, if I spend my whole life trying to study it and understand it, how much can I understand about the eternal giant in front of me?"

"'Why did Mom and Dad choose this path?', 'Why did Mom and Dad die?'"

"The answers to these questions suddenly seemed less important than the eternal question in front of me. There was so little time left for me. I was like, there really was no excuse to back down, no excuse to continue to be sad and scared go down."

Looking at the white night, Eyjafala said so.
