On the dock, the sea breeze is strong.
Franklin stepped forward and opened his arms. Zero smiled and gave him a strong hug. But Franklin was tall and almost picked up zero. The giant let go of him, stepped back and said, "zero, my friend. Please believe me, how I wish I could accompany you on the unfinished journey, but I have my own responsibility. I can only say goodbye to you here today."
Zero knew that Paul had assigned Franklin a big island near the Pearl corridor. It could be free from the jurisdiction of the city of Rome and allow Franklin and his people to take care of themselves. Franklin had destroyed the gene bank of Atlantis. They had no chance to reproduce, and Paul was happy to be generous. But still because of the relationship between the people, Franklin could not leave them and leave with zero. Zero could understand this.
"It doesn't matter. You can live a good life here." zero patted the giant on the arm and smiled.
Franklin said seriously, "although I can't leave with you, I hope you don't forget my friend when the final World War I comes. At that time, my people and I will face the deepest darkness in the world side by side with you!"
"I will!" zero also nodded solemnly.
"Then I'll wait for you!" Franklin smiled and stepped back.
Paul came up, gave him no chance of zero objection, hugged him tightly and said, "friend, I don't know what to say. In short, please don't hesitate to speak when you need my help."
"Yes. Paul, before I need your help, try your best to develop mecha technology. I have a intuition that soon there will be a big war waiting for us. It is not about the loss of one city and one person, but the survival of all life on the planet." he said in a low voice.
Paul made an exaggerated expression and said, "don't scare me. I don't want to be the shortest lived prime minister in the history of Rome."
Zero laughed and punched him. Of course, it didn't use any strength, otherwise Paul, the new prime minister, would really have to hang up. Paul also smiled. After a few laughs, he nodded and said, "don't worry. I'll let people step up the development of mecha technology later. I hope I can make a contribution at the time you say."
"That's settled." zero looked back at the destiny. All the materials had been transported. He said softly, "well, goodbye."
"Goodbye, everyone..."
He looked in the direction of Kanon fortress, took a deep look, but there was no word.
In that direction, you can feel the breath of Cinderella.
Then he resolutely turned around, walked to the destiny with zero strides, jumped to the portico deck, waved to the people on the wharf, and then walked into the cabin. When he came to the command bridge, Billy and other operators were ready. Everyone looked at the captain zero.
Leah came to him and held his hand tightly. Zero inhaled deeply and said loudly, "set sail!"
So the steel wings of destiny lit up blue flames one by one, and the ship turned a corner, facing the sea wind and breaking the waves, and gradually disappeared in the eyes of everyone on the wharf.
"Finally gone..." Paul whispered, "really, I'm a little reluctant to give up this guy."
In destiny, zero naturally can't hear Paul's voice. He stood on the bridge and looked at the people below who were busy adjusting various navigation parameters. More than half a year has passed since leaving mainland China. Now I want to go back to the city of dawn and see how the city with endless hope has changed.
More importantly, of course, is the recent situation of Beyonce and others.
However, there is one more thing to do before that.
"Billy, go to a place before you go back." zero shouted down.
A few days later, at noon, destiny came to the island where it had met belafar, the Lord of the northern ocean. It was on this island that belafar put forward his own conditions to zero. Because of this, zero stayed on the western continent for more than half a year. Now, when you revisit your hometown, everything on the island remains the same. Destiny stopped at sea, zero sitting alone on rubber Varden island.
He went straight to the big lake behind the dense forest on the island. On the edge of the big lake, a small but infinitely powerful figure fell into zero's eyes. Belafar is fishing, but his pet little green can't be seen this time. Seems to know that zero is coming, Bella fall said without looking back: "just in time. The fish have grown fat these days. Let me invite you to eat some."
Zero shrugged and sat down next to him: "you should know that I'm not here to eat fish."
"Of course I know, young people nowadays don't even have any patience?" belafar still carried his trident in his hand. One end of the Trident sank into the water and shot a blue beam from the Trident. A moment later, a big fish floated up. Where was he fishing? Belafar didn't care. He picked it up with the halberd tip, put it in front of him and said, "would you like some raw fish?"
"Thanks," zero refused.
"What a serious fellow, just like hamus." belafar took the fish honestly and impolitely, so he chewed and ate the raw fish. While eating, he said, "you did a good job, boy. According to our previous commitment, from today on, your will will will spread all over the ocean."
"Sounds good, but if you don't mind, how about something practical for me?"
"What do you want?" belafar said, rolling his eyes.
Zero said, "I need some big guys that can be transported. They'd better be able to tow cargo ships. You know, there's no good thing that can be transported by sea now."
Although the shipbuilding technology of the western continent is good, the use of wind and human power systems can make their ships sail at sea. However, it is only limited to the inner Bay waters of the western mainland, and it is impossible to navigate in the open sea.
Belafar threw away the half eaten fish, wiped the blood foam on his mouth and said, "come with me."
When they came to the edge of the sand surge, belafar pointed to his mouth and whistled. Then he found a reef and sat down with his legs tilted. A moment later, zero saw the waves rolling on the sea level, and then some giants appeared on the sea level and swam quickly towards the island.
"This... They are horses?" zero couldn't believe his eyes.
In his free field of vision, it is not difficult to see these ten meter long sea animals. Their high heads are no different from those of horses on land. Only the horses running on four legs on land are naturally not as big as their heads. Besides, behind the horse's head is a prismatic belly with round sides, and on both sides are organs like fins, stretching like flags.
Belafar said proudly, "this is the third generation of varieties improved by me. I call them... Seahorses!"
"Seahorse..." zero was a little embarrassed. It was appropriate for these sea animals to call seahorse, but it was far from what he knew.
There are about twenty sea animals. When they came near the island, they stopped and swam in the nearby Bay. They looked docile, just floating quietly on the sea, waiting for belafar's orders.
"Although they are small, they have great strength and can drag hundreds of tons of things," belafar said.
"Well, how do I command them?"
Belafar rolled up his strange eyes and said, "open your mouth."
"Why..."
As soon as zero asked, he saw belafar flick his two fingers, pop up a drop of blue blood and fall into zero's mouth. Zero suddenly had a fishy smell in his mouth, but belafar's blood soon melted. At the same time, zero felt that he had a little more belafar's genes.
"Now you have my breath, try to communicate with them with your will," belafar said lazily.
Zero tried. Sure enough, he gave orders to these sea animals in his will. They all looked up at zero. Then he nodded, as if he understood something, and then one by one swam to the destiny.
"What did you let them do?"
"I told them to go back with my boat."
"So this is leaving?"
"Yes, what should I do if I need to contact you?" zero asked.
Belafar pointed the water under his feet with a trident and said, "as long as the ocean is beyond, I can hear your voice."
"Very good." zero looked at the dwarf like leader of the northern ocean and said, "well, let's say goodbye here for the time being."
Belafar jumped up and snorted. He pointed his finger at his head and said, "don't say I didn't warn you, boy. Mother's voice has become louder and louder. Do you know what it means?"
"It's coming out soon?" zero frowned.
"It should be." belafar looked at the endless sea and sighed, "I have a hunch that the time for all life on this planet to fight back is approaching. I hope you will be fully prepared before that."
With that, belafar walked towards the sea and disappeared at sea level after a moment.
At this moment, zero's heart is very heavy.
