—— For higher civilizations, matter and energy are almost infinite, but the information entropy must be supplemented by life itself.

　　The spaceships of Bing Ling and Feng Ling traveled in the realm of the Faerie Empire for a month. It was very close to the capital and still belonged to the core area of the Faerie Empire, and there were no twists and turns. Although there was still half of the fuel, they decided to land at the first transfer station, Shuangqiao Planet, as planned, to replenish the various materials consumed in preparation for changes.

　　But Bingling’s idea is that Shuangqiao’s drinks are quite famous. Double Bridge Star was once a prosperous planet. The endless millennium war not only destroyed the families of many people, but also destroyed the economies of many planets in the rear. And the economic collapse, in addition to the dilapidated scene, there are people's nostalgia for the past life and resentment towards the fairy rule, but this resentment is far less strong and open than that in the alliance.

　　On orbit, Bing Ling could see that the skyscrapers on Shuangqiao had turned into yellow iron shelves clinging to dust and rust. The long-untreated sand was flying in the atmosphere of the planet, and the whole planet looked misty.

　　Moving closer, Bing Ling could see that the surface of the planet was covered with low buildings, and only the yellow and red lakes were left, indicating that the planet was still a little bit alive, and it was still a place suitable for life. Those low buildings are arranged in a disorderly manner, thick brick walls can withstand sandstorms every few days, and there may be some luxurious gardens or unique buildings in the middle. Obviously, some people have not been affected by the economic downturn.

　　The spacecraft landed slowly. Fortunately, the fuel refueling device on the tarmac was still running automatically. The scene where Bing Ling was worried about a worker in orange clothes running over carrying a bucket of fuel was finally gone. appear.

　　The automatic maintenance of the spacecraft will take a while, and the two faeries decided to take a look at the spacecraft.

　　"Thirty yuan, thank you."

　　Bing Ling and Feng Ling, wearing black robes with hoods covering their whole body, stood in front of a milk tea shop, facing the tauren owner with a pair of horns. Dust-stained signs hung on the milk tea shop, swaying in the yellow wind, and it said: "Prepared by ancient methods, rich in flavor".

　　Outside the shop is a road full of cracks, and rusty vehicles are filled with races of various colors. If the capital is a magnificent mausoleum, here is the bustling market in the town of Luopo.

　　Bing Ling took out a paper currency and placed it on the table.

　　"Do you want to add pearls?"

　　"No, thank you. Don't add any solids." One of them said in a clear and sweet voice.

　　The shopkeeper was startled: "Your voice is so good, it's like those faeries. It's a pity..." The shopkeeper sighed, not knowing why.

　　The two men in black robes did not speak, picked up the bag containing milk tea and left. They walked straight back to the tarmac and boarded an unremarkable Freedom III spacecraft.

　　Sitting in the cockpit, the two took off their hoods, and bright silver hair was exposed under the hoods.

　　Feng Ling’s long legs were placed on the dashboard, shaking the transparent cup, and he was relieved to confirm that there was no solid in it: “Last time I accidentally drank a pearl from a milk tea, my stomach hurts three times. day."

　　In the history of science and technology civilization for thousands of years, because there is no longer a need to eat unprocessed food, the digestive tract of the fairy gradually degenerates, so that it can no longer effectively digest any solids, and replaced by a pair of quantum field effect organs. The faeries are given a series of incredible abilities such as the shield of the biological field and the link of consciousness. These abilities are collectively referred to as psionic energy by other species.

　　"There are still 30,000 light years to enter the Alliance Star Territory. This little broken ship is so slow." Feng Ling tapped on the dashboard again.

　　After taking a sip, Bing Ling asked, "Did you see that person's attitude toward us just now?"

　　Feng Ling nodded. The sigh of the shopkeeper couldn't be more obvious, that the fairy had become a demon. In fact, they have long known that this is the case, otherwise, why should the nominal masters of this planet and all planets within tens of thousands of light-years outside this planet wear black robes and hoods?

　　Thousands of years ago, when the Fairys had a population of tens of millions, they could also effectively govern the entire galaxy, appoint people with lofty ideals from all races, fight criminals and crimes, and punish corruption. The nature of the faeries destined them to be willing to serve others. At that time, the galaxy still regarded the faeries as heroes who saved thousands of civilizations that were destined to be extinct in the dark forest, and were the destined leaders and servants of the people.

　　The wisdom and charm of the fairy also made those who follow the fairy devastated. But since a certain year, assassinations and accidents have always occurred, and eternal lives have turned into cold corpses one by one. Gradually, due to the shortage of Fairy resources, Faerie can only allow individuals with various ambitions to climb into important positions, sitting and watching them use power for personal gains and forming gangs and cannot be held accountable. Later, Faerie has become their way to realize themselves. A stumbling block to ambition...

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

　　The memory came to an abrupt end, and Feng Ling exclaimed: "I bought four cups of milk tea, but now there are only three cups left with the two cups you and I hold?"

　　Bing Ling looked down and found that there was indeed only one cup in the bag. She slowly recovered and knew what was going on.

　　"Han Ling! Come out for me!"

　　In the thin air of the cargo hold, a girl in a plain dress hugged milk tea and showed her figure, with a straw in her small cherry mouth, her flawless eyes widened, like a broken vase next to it. Pretend to be an innocent kitten.

　　Bing Ling grabbed her by the ear and pulled her over, "Do you know what mistake I made?"

　　"Ahhhhhhhh...I shouldn't drink milk tea secretly!"

　　Bing smiled angrily: "Feng Ling, send her back to the capital immediately!"

　　"No!" Han Ling cried and said: "Every time I am alone, I want to fight side by side with my brothers and sisters, just to escape loneliness, but they are all afraid of my accident and drive me far away. Everyone is working hard. , Why should I be alone and doing nothing!"

　　"Back to the capital, I will ask Ling to accompany you, don't cry." Bing Ling's anger suddenly disappeared, and she persuaded softly.

　　"No! Ling still has very important and important things, everyone has very important things, I will feel guilty, why can't we let us work hard together?" Han Ling said with tears in her eyes.

　　"Let her stay." Feng Ling said suddenly.

　　"This is likely to be a journey with no return!"

　　"It's better than she was caught in despair as the last fairy." Feng Ling said calmly.

　　Bing Ling was choked, and she felt that she had nothing to say, who had always had countless principles to say.

　　"Let's go, we still have a long way to go."

　　Outside the apron, there are old billboards and slogans, "Build a beautiful galaxy together" and "a new harmonious world". On top of these slogans, densely packed forks and new slogans are painted with paint. Some of these slogans are weathered and peeled and mottled, while others are still bright:

　　"Down with the colonial oppressors!"

　　"The revolution of the age, revive the planet!"

　　There are also nasty ones:

　　"If the revolution is successful. Everyone can have a fairy slave!"

　　"Overthrow the fairy empire and steam the fairy broth!"

　　Even Han Ling, who is inexperienced in the world, knows that this is not just a slogan, but a fact that is happening. Even focusing on the taste of various parts of the fairy, the Rebel Alliance also published a book, "A Complete Book of Faerie Recipes", and the most recommended one is the quantum field effect organ in the abdomen of the fairy. According to it, the quantum of the fairy The field-effect organs are soft and delicious, and melt in the mouth. After eating, some of them may even gain the psychic energy of the eaten fairy.

　　These baseless rumors naturally pushed up the ridiculously high prices of Faeries in the slave market.

　　Feng Ling, Bing Ling, and Han Ling didn't take a second look at the slogans they had been accustomed to. The spacecraft rose from the ground under the foggy sky and flew to the next transit station: the Alpha Corvus space station.

　　After traveling in the star field of the Faerie Empire for a month, no twists and turns occurred except that the dust on the double bridge star blocked the sensor grid, but Bing Ling knew it well and left the core area of the Faerie Empire. The next journey may not be so simple.

　　The Alpha Corvus station is an important automatic starship factory for Faeries. It is a huge ring structure built around the star, and outside the ring is a huge disc-shaped heat dissipation wing. When the Faerie Empire just unified the Milky Way, there are endless bright spots here at all times, such as stars moving in space, and all kinds of life together create miracles here. But now, because it is becoming more and more difficult to find people loyal to the faerie rule to maintain AI and write code in the Faerie Empire, or to use more essential language to supplement information entropy, more and more AIs are starting to go down. , The entire space station has also lost its luster and has become lifeless. Today, less than one percent of automated factories are still operating.

　　Fortunately, everyone who can enter the Alpha Corvus space station through the review of the station master is still loyal.

　　The three got off the spacecraft and entered the hangar.

　　"Loyalty is not absolutely disloyal! The head of the 13th Regiment of the Skeleton Division of the Fairy Guard reported to the three commanders." The sonorous voice, the tall and burly body, and the firmness without squinting, the temperament of this iron-blooded soldier impressed Bing Ling.

　　Skeleton is not a name that Fairys like. They prefer the elements of nature such as wind, grass, fire, and ice. In ancient times, the Skeleton Division used to follow the celestial spirits to fight in all over the galaxy. They were the most enthusiastic group of the Fairy Empire and the ideals they represented in the Fairy guards. They painted skulls on their battle flags to intimidate them. Opponents have repeatedly succeeded, but what actually intimidates their opponents is their invincible reputation. Therefore, they call themselves Skeleton. The 13th Regiment of the Skeleton Division is stationed in Alpha Corvus.

　　"Okay, very nice!" Feng Ling said: "How long have you been here?"

　　"Back to the commander, I have been in the army for ten years in a humble position!" The tall soldier said without squinting.

　　Feng Ling took a step forward, her emerald green pupils met his black eyes, her ordinary face, feeling the firmness in her heart and... admiration?

　　The head of the group did not dare to look at her eyes or even her face. Every time he glanced at it, his breath was quick, as if everything in the world had lost its color. But his eyes just didn't listen to her commands, and moved to the face that suffocated him like a compass tends to a magnet.

"Tonight, come to my room." Feng Ling raised her fingers and hooked the firm chin of the young solder.

　　"This...this..." The commander of countless battles was completely flustered. He who had never retreated before retreated involuntarily for the first time after joining the army.

　　"Stop!" Feng Ling sternly shouted, "Don't you want to use your body to feel what you are defending?"

　　"I think... I don't want to... No, I am not only defending the fairy, but also... in order to prevent this galaxy from falling back into the chaos of the dark forest!"

　　The head of the group explained incoherently, and yelled out the usual slogans.

　　"It's not I who serve you, you're here to serve me, do you understand?" Feng Ling stared at the flat face of the young soldier, and said.

　　"Understood...Yes, sir!"

　　Of course, what Feng Ling was thinking was definitely not what she said, she just felt unfair: Why can the group of vicious politicians in the alliance let the fairy slave beauties being used under them every night, and this boy who has been loyal to the fairy empire, A man of 20 years can only face the cold and lonely night and starry sky? Today, it is just a small compensation.

　　Feng Ling really had a big problem for herself, Bing Ling thought. She blushed, trying to do something, and finally decided to do nothing.

　　"What are you talking about?" Han Ling widened her eyes curiously, watching Feng Ling playing dumb riddles with the soldiers.

　　Entering from the hangar door, I saw a tall, silver-haired woman with a ponytail and a bumpy figure leaning against the dark metal wall, and the faint moonlight on her body became clearly visible against the dark background.

　　"Station Alpha Corvus, Ziying, welcome the arrival of the two...three. You are... Hanling? Why did you come here? It's dangerous!"
