Abnormal crossing

Chapter 162 Adele

Despite being a member of the royal family, Lynn's style of doing things was nothing like that of most nobles, who were slow and indecisive.

After the assignments for Joe Cowen and his group were finalized.

Lynn immediately summoned his deputy, who then went to receive the personnel who remained in place:
This section mainly includes three androids mimicking the crew of the Khan, Nono who wears blue skin but is actually a true Gaul at heart, and the rest of the guards led by Cohen.

The remaining Milo, Jokowen, Ophelia, and others were led by Lynn to another archway inlaid with star-studded gems.

The group had just passed through the archway.

As they stepped down, a soft blue light automatically illuminated the ground, stretching forward like a galaxy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in the third layer of the 'Wings of the Sky,' which we call the 'Starlight Layer,'" Lynn's voice echoed in the wide corridor. The walls on both sides were made of dynamic murals of liquid metal, slowly flowing with portraits of the monarchs of the Boska dynasty:

"This floor mainly houses the reception hall, banquet hall, and diplomatic conference room. It is also the only area in the palace with external functions. The ceiling above displays the territory of Perska."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wei raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

as predicted.

A vast star map was projected onto the ceiling, accurately reproducing the entire territory of Boska.

The number of planets is not large, but each one is exceptionally bright, slowly rotating under the operation of some unknown technology.

This technology is not just naked-eye 3D, but is somewhat similar to the main control screen when Gu Weigang traveled through time—no matter how far away you are, you can clearly see the content on it with your naked eye.

Gu Wei vaguely remembered that Jin had mentioned that this technology seemed to be related to some kind of optical principle.

Basically, it involves mixing image information with light, and then simultaneously analyzing the image information when the light is projected onto the target's retina, thus achieving image projection regardless of distance or visual acuity.

After a while.

The corridor suddenly turned, and the view opened up before everyone.

A suspended platform appeared ahead, with no guardrails along its edges, and below lay a vertical space hundreds of meters deep.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please watch your step,” Lynn said, stepping onto the platform first. His uniform hem remained perfectly still, indicating that the platform had perfect gravity field control. “We will be taking this platform to the sixth floor, which is the area where the ‘Winter Palace’ is located—Princess Adele is waiting for you in her drawing room.”

Qiao Kewen nodded upon hearing this and led everyone onto the platform.

Due to issues with positioning and perspective.

The moment Gu Wei stepped onto the platform, he clearly saw Jin's brows furrow slightly in her simulated form, but then relax.

After everyone had taken their places.

The platform began to rise silently.

The surrounding walls gradually changed from metal to a semi-transparent crystalline material. Through the walls, one could see patrolling aircraft and other equipment outside the orbit, and occasionally a mecha would fly by.

After a while.

The platform suddenly slowed down and eventually stopped in the center of a circular hall.

The hall floor is a single piece of obsidian carved with galaxy patterns, and glowing ion streams are wrapped around the surrounding pillars, dancing slowly like living ribbons, blending science fiction with a touch of classical style.

Lynn then led everyone down to the hall, along a corridor for a while, and finally stopped outside a closed door.

The gate is about four or five meters high and three meters wide, and is made entirely of metal.

“Your Highness Ophelia, Governor Jokowen,” Lynn said, keeping about five meters away from the door, “Princess Adele is inside. She has instructed that you may enter without announcing yourselves. I will now take my leave.”

Seeing this, Ophelia nodded and performed a small gesture of courtesy commonly used by younger female members of the royal family: "Thank you for your trouble."

Lynn and the others bowed slightly and quietly withdrew.

After Lynn left, Jokowi gave Ophelia a subtle wink, and the girl understood and stepped forward.

then
Under Gu Wei's bewildered gaze, Ophelia slammed her forehead against the metal door: "Mother, I'm back."

Gu Wei: "??????"

No, girl, so that's how you use the purple diamond mark between your eyebrows?
But think about it too.

Given how vast the universe is, it's not surprising that some civilization enjoys banging its head against doors; after all, humans might just be stubborn (in a physical sense).
Then very quickly.

A gentle female voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

The voice just fell.

The closed door in front of everyone rippled outwards from the center, like a pale blue wave breaking on the surface of water after a stone was thrown.

The ripples spread rapidly in all directions, and the door began to flow like liquid, slowly parting to reveal an oval-shaped passage.

The light at the edge of the passage was slightly distorted, as if through a layer of flowing water, and a faint, elegant fragrance wafted out from inside the door, lingering around everyone's noses.

Ophelia seemed quite familiar with this scene, a barely suppressed smile spreading across her face as she lifted her skirt and trotted inside.

Qiao Kewen and others followed suit one after another.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The interior was simply yet elegantly furnished, with wooden floors and walls, and natural wood latticework on the walls, along which several translucent vines climbed.

Three pairs of low velvet sofas are symmetrically placed on both sides of the room. Apart from being exceptionally clean and fluffy, they have no technological feel whatsoever, combined with a table with books scattered around the window.
In any case, Gu Wei couldn't tell that this was a reception room of a fourth-order civilization—the only thing in the whole room was the wick of the ceiling lamp, which was a soft, floating light. If you told him that this was medieval Europe, Gu Wei would believe it.

This simple decor contrasts sharply with the luxurious exterior of the palace.

It is clear.

The owner of this reception room was not the kind of person who cared about enjoyment and extravagance.

Of course.

The thought lingered in Gu Wei's mind for less than a few seconds before vanishing, his attention immediately drawn to another figure by the window:

Standing by the desk was a blue-skinned woman in a light gold dress. She was only about 1.4 meters tall, but her posture was inexplicably elegant, and her hair was neatly styled.

This person appeared to be around fifty years old. Although his appearance was not as stunning as Jin's, it exuded a warm glow accumulated over the years.

"Mother!"

The moment she saw the other person, Ophelia pounced on them, stuffing them into the thunderbolt like a rag doll, leaving only the woman's right hand waving in the air.

Gu Wei continued: "."

This should be considered a heartwarming scene, right?
After a while.

Ophelia reluctantly released the blue-skinned woman and chuckled twice.

The blue-skinned woman, or rather Adele, gently patted Ophelia's head, which was resting on her shoulder, and then looked at Jokowen at the entrance, her face filled with emotion: "Brother, it's been more than ten years. You, a busy man, have finally deigned to come see me?"

Adele's tone seemed reproachful, but her eyes subtly shone with a crystalline light.

Seeing this, Joe Cowen scratched his head a little embarrassedly, stepped forward and gave Adele a big hug: "Long time no see, Adele."

Note:
I apologize for the lack of updates lately. As you can see, my IP address keeps changing, almost every three or four days. I'm still suffering from a broken rib, sigh.

The main reason is that I have various activities that are hard to refuse to attend. The 81192 event at the beginning of the month was at the invitation of the Communist Youth League. These days I am in Guangdong for Navy Day and I am recruiting. In a few days there is also an event where I can meet Foreign Minister Wang. It is no exaggeration to say that this may be the only opportunity in my life to meet him. When I wrote the "Handbook" in 21 and mentioned him, I never thought that this day would come.

I'm writing this today because some classmates commented that my update frequency might mean I'm about to be imprisoned. I wanted to clarify something to avoid misunderstandings. Foreign Minister Wang's last event was this. I'll resume normal updates after I get home. Please give me a little more time. *frantically kowtowing*
