Now our workouts have become very hard for me. After all, Virinea possessed the same speed and strength as I did. At least once a week, these trainings took place under water. Thanks to the skills and knowledge gained once from Admiral Buehl, we could be under water for an unlimited time even without additional devices. I learned it myself after the first workout with Virinea in the water. This dodger was able to hold her breath for almost 10 minutes. I already started to worry. Stopped sparring. But she emerged as if she had been under water for a few seconds, not even out of breath. It was then that the late admiral was remembered. It turns out that not only the brain gets new info and skills. But in some incomprehensible way and the body acquires many possibilities of the civilization from which skills are inherited.
Very often sparrings were held in the mountains. First, there you can exercise with stones, rolling and crumbling them with the help of telekinesis. And secondly, the higher the mountain, the more thin the air, and the oxygen consumption of the body during strenuous training is huge. Today we have a plan for training in the mountains.

- Cyclops! - burst simultaneous exclamation of the twins.
“How do you know this civilization?”
- Is it a civilization? We have epics, in fairy tales there are Cyclops. But in all fairy tales, in spite of the enormous growth of the Cyclops, they are slow and stupid.
“Fairy tales are lies,” Drago rumbled, “this civilization is very developed and will have to sweat to cope with them.”
- Do we have a choice?
“There is no choice,” answered Kirsyr dejectedly, “the main thing is that you do not disgrace me,” he turned and looked with hope at the twins.

Ship Drago quickly rushed into the star system of the Cyclopes. Everyone was very surprised at this speed, even Invir and Kyrcyr. While the twins were trying to negotiate, Drago activated the chameleon and darted to the Cyclops planet. He discovered this chronograph, asked what was what, and immediately realized that there was no point in finding the missing Earthlings from this device. He returned to the ship and ordered the twins to round out. When they were already on the ship, he explained why he had to interrupt the useless negotiations.
- We need new ideas. I visited the past in times of prosperity of the Earthlings, thanks to the commander of the Alliance of Higher Civilizations, General Thor. Before him there was no information about Phaeton. But even the remaining time is too long to be explored. We must somehow reduce the search interval.

“Drago,” began Kyrcyr, “and if you connect our intuition?”
- Kirsyr, what have the intuition?
- When I appealed to the Earthlings for help against the Nazofers, King Arihon immediately felt a mortal danger for Ambassador Alex. He instantly flew to the Shenshehr. The question is, how did he know that Alex would be with Shensher? Yes, and he was late to the beginning of the battle only because his fleet is slower than the speed of Phaeton.I suggest everyone who passed on the knowledge to Ambassador Alex or to General Lie (or they passed it on to someone) to intuitively decide at what time in the past they failed. And already there to search.

“Where do you think your parents now live in the past?” - Drago closely watched the twins. Feeling a great responsibility for their response, they even began to stutter.
- It seems to us that they have fallen into the past by 6, 5-7 thousand Earth years. But our time machines do not get there.
“I think this is a lot,” said Kyrcyr, “I think they failed for no more than 5000 years.
Mauren generally called only a thousand years. Invir agreed with Kyrcyr, but said that maybe 5,000 years, although his intuition suggests four.
- Kircyr contact King Arihonov.

Aziris, seeing both elders, bowed his head respectfully.
- Glad to see the distinguished heads of the inquisitors. But my civilization did nothing wrong. We are not at war with anyone and we observe the laws of communication with other civilizations. Let me ask what is required?
- Asiris, what do you think? Drago asked, gesturing for the others to remain silent.
- It seems to me that this is somehow connected with Ambassador Alex. But logically I can not bring together. For it doesn’t fit in my head that not only the team of our inquisitors, but also the inquisitors of higher civilizations, would be set on one’s ears because of one Earthling. Since such a company has gathered in one place, it can only be assumed.
“What about Alex?” - impatiently interrupted the dragon.

- I do not feel the ambassador Alex. As if he died. But this is not death. He just disappeared. It seems that he has moved in time.
- This is intuition! - Drago did not let up. He briefly explained what had happened to Alex and Leah, and inquired what Aziris was now prompted by his magnificent intuition.
- Dear Elder, in my opinion they were in the past about six and a half thousand years ago (by Earth standards).
- Aziris, thank you for your guess. Who else shared knowledge with them?

- I know only about Varkanakh and the late Admiral Byul. In addition, my fleet commander received knowledge from Alex, and also, if not mistaken, the commander of the space fleet of humans.
- Commander of men? - the dragon exclaimed in surprise.
“Now the human fleet is commanded by General Zemlyan Vasilisa,” the twins explained.
“Hmm, I can't stop wondering,” Drago said.

General Varkanov said that, according to his assumption, the Earthlings had collapsed for three and a half thousand years, then began to be confused in terms of earth years. Vyalis and Vasilisa were unanimous - four thousand Earth years. Girman, who was present at the conversation of Vasilisa, suggested that they fell into the past for at least 6000 Earth years.
- So what do we have? One thousand years, three and a half thousand years (although under great question), four thousand years, five thousand, six and six and a half thousand.
“Unfortunately, we cannot move beyond five thousand,” Invir said a little sadly.
“We too,” exclaimed the twins and Mauren in one voice.
“I can only up to six thousand,” noted Kyrcyr with regret.

“Okay,” Drago rumbled, “leave one thousand alone for now.” We can always go there. And it is unlikely that Earthlings have gotten so close. Otherwise, the twins would have heard something from legends. Kirsir, colleague, you will have to shove at the six-thousandth limit and up to 5000
. I explore the lowest limit. Regarding the remaining time points, decide among themselves who will explore what time. To make it faster, take an interval of five hundred years, and then gradually reduce the interval up to 50 years. Invir, it will be necessary for me to refuel the boat. I will dive into the past with my ship.
- Good. Now I will give the order - no one began to argue or object to Drago. Yes, and did not make sense. After all, he took up the most difficult part of the search. Where none of them could get.

Drago
What method of approximation should I choose? I will try to choose six and a half thousand for the starting point of reference and I will be approaching this point with an interval of one hundred Earth years. First dive at 7000, then 6000. Next jump 6900, 6100, 6800, 6200 and so on. Of course there are a lot of jumps, but now Invir will fill the ship with fuel for twice the amount of energy. Ten three jumps will be enough.

Jumped on 7000 years ago.
- Phaeton! - silence. So no. The next jump (6000) is empty. The following (6900 and 6100) - and nothing else. Probably all the same intuition summed King Arihon. Although the twins indicated around this time. Okay, dive next time. A jump to the 6800 is no trace. 6200 - nothing. 6700 - not even a hint. With every leap, hope of finding ... Read more →
