    We met at the customs office of the civilian starport with the boss of the "Grass Ark" and the tree elf observer stationed by the empire: it was this observer who reported the ghost ship parts.

    This civilian starport has a large number of modular customs offices. Every ship that docks here for more than a week can apply for such a free office, which is used to handle official business and hand over various intelligence with the imperial management department. Of course, it can also  Used as a place for business negotiations: Many "special" merchant ships traveling in the macro world complete trade activities directly at the star port.  They run from one star port to another, and their warehouses are always filled with long-term moving goods. They are middlemen and transporters, and they never leave their spacecraft or set foot on any planet except during outages.  .  This kind of businessmen from another world call themselves "starship dealers", and their slogan is "We don't produce resources, we are just porters of nature" - but these starship businessmen have nothing to do with these forest elves at the moment. I'm quite curious about this.  What's the point of Lin Jing also applying for such an office? Although they meet the application conditions, as businessmen, they have no goods, no information to hand over, and no need to receive any business partners. Such an office seems like nothing to such a group of lonely businessmen.  It doesn't make any sense.

    To my question, the boss of the merchant ship who looked just like any other mimosa responded very shamelessly: "It's all in vain anyway. My ship and cargo are ruined, why don't you allow me to take advantage of it?"  "

    At that time, I felt that these first batch of profiteers who started trading in the macro world were probably all printed from the same mold: I saw the shadow of the peddler queen of the Fiyali Empire in this mimosa.

    Shandora was learning about the ghost ship from the tree elf who was the observer, and I curiously observed the boss of the Lin Jingship in front of me: I have had feelings for this race since the last time I saw that nagging Mimosa in Shadow City.  I became interested, and then I also learned about the ins and outs of these forest elves in various online resident communities in Shadow City. The more I learned about them, the more curious I became: How did this strange race come into being?

    The Lin Jing are a new race from the edge of the macro world. Official exchanges with the empire were less than a year ago, and before this month they were engaged in short-term trade in remote areas and had never been exposed in the interior of the empire.  Meet.  These perennial herbaceous plants possess civilized intelligence and a higher level of scientific and technological civilization. They have thoroughly studied their own universe, but they do not yet know how to escape from their own world. Therefore, forest elf caravans like the "Herb Ark" have  You can complete a self-guided tour by purchasing spaceships from other civilizations or applying for public inter-world gates.  This strange race that looks like a plant but is actually a combination of plants and mechanical parts confuses anyone who meets them for the first time. Even in the Shadow City, where weird races are already familiar, the Lin Elves  When it first appeared, it aroused the curiosity of many people, because according to normal logic, it is impossible for a race that has not evolved natural limbs (or other functions that allow them to move) and communication organs to become advanced.  Started on the road to civilization: they could not make the first tools, nor could they form the first classes and conscious groups.  Without the assistance of those mechanical components, forest elves can only rely on their own roots for extremely slow and limited actions. They will also lose the ability to speak. Even if they communicate with their own kind, they can only rely on inefficient and vague plant pheromones.  In other words, the forest elves who lose those mechanical limbs and auxiliary plug-ins will become creatures that are only slightly more advanced than plants: they will still retain the ability to think, but they cannot move or speak, and no one knows what is happening under their enlarged petioles.  What a clever little idea.

    This point has not changed throughout the evolutionary history of the forest elves: they have always been unable to break away from their mechanical bodies.

    So how did they start on the evolutionary path to becoming a higher civilization?  Or to put it more directly: How did they obtain the first mechanical prosthetic limb and pass it on to the next generation?

    The reason for this is strange and rare: the original forest spirits were actually just pets created by another race.

    "We call them 'Father'," Boss Lin Jingchuan jumped up and down on his desk. His voice, posture, appearance and various habits seemed to me to be the same as the mimosa I saw two days ago.  There is no difference. "This title is exclusive to the creator. Because forest elves are hermaphrodites, there is no concept of parents in our race. The title 'father' comes from the creator's civilization. They are very intelligent and were the first to be born on our planet."  Bonfire - oh, a great civilization. They discovered the forest spirits and planted us in the corners of their walls: initially just to improve the air in their houses. Then one of the greatest scientists of these great people suddenlyDerivatives spreading under the steps: Although it seems a bit incredible to sort out a ghost ship from such a massive amount of information, Xiaoxue has her own special method.

    Sandora and I waited silently for a few minutes. During this period, the Lin Jingchuan boss ran to chat with the observer. Finally, Xiaoxue suddenly opened her eyes: "Found it."

    "Where is it?" Sandora and I said in unison.

    "Three days later, in the outer world of the capital, over a red dwarf star more than three million light years away from the earth," Xiaoxue returned the metal pillar to Sandora, "Ghost ships do not always appear in the macro world.  Around the waterway, occasionally it will drift to a desolate place, but its stay in these desolate areas is usually very short, so short that even the empire's radar stations have no time to scan them. This time the ghost ship will be there.  Stay there for three seconds.¡±

    Three secondsthis is really short enough.

    Sandora didn't care much: "That's enough. Let's send people to set up a siege first. Three seconds is enough for the gravity trap to start. Xiaoxue, is that ship armed?"

    "It's not armed," Xiaoxue shook her head, "but it's hard to say whether there is one inside the ship. There is too much information that jumps at once, and it looks blurry."

    Sandora and I waved our hands indifferently: It¡¯s good to be able to locate the location and time of the ghost ship¡¯s upcoming appearance. Xiaoxue, a naughty kid, is unambiguous when it comes to getting down to business.

    At this time, the Lin Jingchuan boss had once again grabbed the Starport Observer and started chatting enthusiastically: "Hey, let me tell you about my adventure back then"

    I suddenly felt that it would be better to leave this place as soon as possible Could these forest spirits believe in the Dragon God?  ?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
