Chapter 1022: Check it out for me
The multiverse world can be divided into three main parts, the mortal plane, the outer realm and the void.
Among them, the places that can be reached by sailing in the void with magic ships are almost all in the mortal plane. It is impossible to reach the outer realms simply by sailing, especially the divine realm of gods. Although it is also floating in the void, it cannot be found.
This sounds like a very clear classification. The mortal world is complex in nature and not pure. There is no black or white. The outer world is very pure. Black is black and white is white.
Therefore, the creatures in the mortal world are called mortals, and the creatures in the outer realm are called outer realm creatures.
So, is there a creature that neither belongs to mortals nor to the outside world?
Of course there is, this is weird.
Although there are many aberrations appearing in the mortal world, aberrations are not mortals, nor are they alien creatures, nor are they even monsters.
It is said that there are many incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and nameless shadows in the void. Most of these words are describing strange things.
They were not created by a god, nor were they automatically generated by the plane, nor could they come from natural evolution. The origin of their birth is basically a mystery.
For example, illithids are typical aberrations. They have no past and appear suddenly.
Abnormalities are all incomprehensible weirdness. Even monsters think they are monsters. The fear brought by the unknown also makes all creatures, including outside creatures, very wary of aberrations.
Take the slaadi that Alyssa is hugging. He will attack humanoids with his sharp claws. After successfully causing a wound, he will use the egg sac under his arm to inject frog eggs into the wound.
The eggs will develop within the victim's body and gradually eat away at the victim, eventually transforming the victim into a new slaad, all while the victim is conscious.
In fact, the illithids are similar. If you insert illithid tadpoles through holes such as eyes and ears, the tadpoles will eat up the victim's gray matter and transform into new illithids. However, the difference is that the transformation of the slaad can be reversed with the wish spell, but the transformation of the illithid cannot be reversed. Even gods cannot reverse this mutation.
Alyssa and the slaadi hugged each other, and his egg sac was right next to Alyssa's head. If she applied a little force, the eggs might be squeezed into Alyssa's ears. Think about the consequences. Except for Shanafia, who was lying on Benben's body, Villania and the others couldn't help but take half a step back.
This Jiaobanning slaad must have seen people who were afraid of him too many times. He obviously noticed it, but he didn't care. After letting Alyssa go, he opened his arms again.
"Carlos, Lon, you still look as healthy and strong as ever."
The two of them had no grudge at all and hugged Banning gently.
The two of them have met Banning more than once and know that he only hugs people he likes. This is Banning's way of expressing enthusiasm.
As for the others, Banning had no intention of hugging them.
"Are they your crew?"
"Well, my crew is all here."
"Huh? What happened?"
Banning said strangely:
"Didn't your grandfather, Mr. James, come back with you?"
"A lot of things happened during this period. Grandpa... also passed away two years ago."
Banning blinked the big eyes above his head, and his expression suddenly fell.
Slaadi don't have tear glands and don't shed tears, but that doesn't mean they can't cry.
The skin behind Banning's eyes secreted so much mucus that it almost dripped down the top of his head.
Two maids moved the ladder very professionally, stepped on the ladder and wiped the mucus secreted by Banning with a towel.
"I, I'm sorry. God, may Mr. James' soul rest in peace. If I had known earlier..." "No, Banning, grandpa does not want his death to be announced. He hopes that he will slowly disappear over time." ”
Alyssa's grandfather James is the hero of the Spinning Water Federation. Everyone admires him very much, and of course he himself knows this.
Rather than announcing his death and letting everyone grieve, it is better not to announce it and let him live in people's hearts forever.
"Oh, I don't know how... Everyone, come in first, you must be hungry."
Banning called everyone in, but he himself apologized and wanted to go to the bathroom first. I don't know if he ran to the bathroom and cried.
Although he is a slaad, Banning was once on Grandpa Alyssa's boat, and they traveled together for more than ten years.
Alyssa's grandfather is his most respected teacher, best friend, and most admired hero, which is indeed a bit difficult to accept.
The maid led everyone to the long table in the dining room and arranged for them to sit down.
It took about ten minutes before Banning came back. His scalp was still stained with mucus that had not been wiped off.
However, he adjusted his mood and signaled the servants to serve the food. Let's talk about anything while eating.
When the slaad invited guests to dinner, they thought they would be served something sanitary, but everyone was very resistant. However, when the food was served, they discovered that it was just ordinary ordinary dishes.
"Alyssa, tell me, what happened to you during this time?"
"That's a long story."
Alyssa took a sip of wine and briefly talked about the starship being taken away.
"You mean, there's another Carlos on the starship?"
"I know it's hard to believe, but I saw it with my own eyes."
"No, if there really are replicants, that would make sense."
Banning didn't seem surprised and just said:
"Recently, I also received news that the starships manufactured by the Xuanshui Federation were taken away, and they were all recyclers. If there were one or two, I would only think that they had subordinates. There were more than ten rebellions, and they all happened at about the same time."
"Well, the information I got is similar. Not only the starships manufactured by the Xianshui Federation, but also all the recyclers who have starships in their hands seem to have encountered similar things."
"It's so neatly organized, it's not an individual act."
Alyssa spread her hands:
"The problem is, we don't know who is doing it and for what purpose."
Starships are indeed the largest and most cutting-edge warships currently, but even if all the starships in the hands of recyclers are added up, they cannot compare to the fleets owned by countries like the Spinning Water Federation.
This is very puzzling. What does the organization behind the scenes want to do?
"We met my starship on the road, but unfortunately, my attempt to track it may have been discovered, and we were almost involved in the battlefield and could not come back."
Alyssa said:
"So I hope you can help me check whether any battleships from the Spinning Water Federation have seen my starship on the battlefield."
Alyssa's grandfather is a great hero in the Spin Water Federation. His car, both in appearance and engine marks, has been written into the textbooks. If anyone from the Spin Water Federation has seen it, they will definitely recognize it.
