Russell believed in Delphinium's words and at the same time believed in his own judgment.
According to Delphinium, there is a "purple thorn" in Sheath's heart. This means that he has some kind of strong love. But this love does not point to a real individual or individual, but to something illusory.
thing.
Russell felt from him the determination to never look back, but at the same time he had a hollow heart.
So, what if this is all true?
He has a love for a certain path and career in his heart, which can even make him abandon his wife and children, and even his own dignity and humanity; he is already ready to sacrifice everything, but at the same time he
But there is a growing hole in my heart that cannot be filled.
He deeply realized that everything he did was meaningless, but at the same time he had to do it.
He is preventing Russell from getting closer to the truth, just like the dragon prevents scientists from approaching the sky...
Looking at the suddenly silent Sheath, Russell began to slowly approach him.
He took a step forward and said softly: "The situation is now very clear.
"The so-called elves are some ancient people. They transformed themselves into elves in order to use 'destiny' to seal specific demons and use them as batteries to store the power of miracles. This is an extremely long-term plan.
"First Evolution"
"The reason why other elves are transformed also comes from a kind of 'etching device of special talents'. People who are good enough will be transformed into elves, giving them a long lifespan to reserve talents. This is also a kind of
A very long-term 'reserve'.
"——Based on the means, the purpose can be inferred.
"The named elves are the 'forerunners, caretakers and guardians of mankind'. But there is no trace of care and protection in their actions; and in the land age, there were no disasters that could be avoided by the protection of elves.
"Compared to 'the name-bearing elves abandoned their responsibilities', can I understand that...their mission has not actually begun yet?"
Even because he is missing both eyes, his specific face cannot be seen.
However, from the details of his other facial features, Russell could clearly sense the shock in his heart.
Russell sighed secretly in his heart.
Because he realized that his guess might be correct.
"The only historical copy you burned is about dragons, spiritual relatives and the secrets of Year Zero. So here comes the question...
"According to the research of the Tower of Babel, the predecessor of the Cyber Church was first born in 452. Why do they have the secret about the 'Zero Year'? Why is the Tower of Babel so sure that they and the Mage Tower must have that secret record?
"The answer is very simple, because these things were not secrets in the past...Only things that everyone has personally experienced will not become secrets. Because history has not been sealed at that time, because the truth has not been forgotten.
"And what is the thing that everyone will know after Year Zero and before 452?
"——It is the reason for the birth of spiritual relatives.
"Whether it is Happy Island or other empty islands, they are banning the research on in vitro fertilization. To be precise, they are banning the research on artificial humans based on in vitro fertilization. And I once knew an old scholar who used his own
A large number of copies...The characteristic is that all individuals will eventually have spiritual relatives, and the spiritual relatives are not necessarily the same as themselves. This means that humans will begin to become spiritual relatives after recognizing themselves, which is a kind of genetically unrelated thing.
The underlying mechanism…
"Hua Chu once said to me that humans need spiritual affinity to resist something; while elves have lost their spiritual affinity and have solid and unchanging souls. At first, I thought that elves were the sequelae of recovery from spiritual affinity.
', or in other words, spiritual transformation is incomplete elven transformation..."
But after learning the secret of the "key and lock" from the malt liquor, Russell had another theory in his mind.
The reason why the binding sheath is here...
"In ancient times, both dragons and elves could kill people. The only difference is that in the land era, there were laws. Those were laws made by humans, and dragons were just executors.
"I already know that the dragon is some kind of huge mechanical creation, a kind of great god-like artificial intelligence. 'Can't kill' should be engraved in their underlying operating logic... that is, 'They can't hurt humans, nor can they kill humans.'
Seeing human beings in danger and standing idly by'. Therefore, dragons will not kill people, and they will not allow elves, even high-ranking elves to kill people. It is for this reason that today's Sky Island has such an outrageous no-kill principle.
"So, suppose there is some kind of crisis - humans must be killed in order to save humans. How will the dragon execute it?"
Russell asked softly.
He was just speculating. But feeling the sudden surge in Sheath's heart... Russell realized that he had really guessed it right.
"The so-called 'spiritual relative' is a temporary protection. Its only purpose is to make humans 'no longer human'. The elves have the racial characteristics of the elves, and have the language and culture of the elves. This is also the reason why
Different from human beings. The reason for all this is that there is some kind of spiritual plague at the bottom of human spirit...a plague that will take effect as long as one is purely human.
"It may change human minds, or it may turn humans into monsters or kill humans... I don't know what it will bring, but 'spiritualization' is probably a method used by ancient humans to avoid it.
"Before, the elves were manufacturing psykers in batches, and their purpose should be to solidify the demons... To put it simply, they were 'packaging' the resources on this planet.
"The solution a person chooses when encountering difficulties can reveal the person's inner nature to a certain extent. When elves face the problem of 'scarce resources', their reaction is not to open the gray dome, nor to solve it through technological means or
To postpone this crisis, there is no idea of promoting technology at all. Instead, they are thinking of the outrageous solution of 'reducing the population'.
"This actually shows that they have at least heard the words 'reducing the population'. That's why this kind of weird decision-making has subconsciously become their method.
"The characteristic of elves is that they live long lives while remaining mentally unchanged; and the criteria for selecting elves are usually scholars, followed by elites in various industries.
“Their essence is ‘civilized specimens’. The named elves also claim that they are ‘humanity’s forerunners, caregivers and guardians’…
"In this case, I'm afraid there is only one final answer."
Russell looked at the sheath that was fixed in place like a puppet, and read out the secret hidden in his heart: "What the dragon really wants is to kill all the 'spiritually related' humans, and fundamentally remove the feeling of incompetence."
A spiritual plague where people are no longer human. Then they take the human gene pool, more than 10,000 'demons' on this planet, and one thousandth of the total population of 'elves' to leave this resource-depleted planet...
"Those elves are the crew. They can survive on the ship for an extremely long time without worrying about spiritual decay and the interruption of inheritance caused by the 'middle generation' born on the ship... They live long lives and are patient, but at the same time
The lack of learning ability, cross-field curiosity, and lack of fertility are obviously functional genes specially customized for space travel. With these elves present, civilization can be reorganized in an instant.
"The 'miraculous power' reserved by the eighty-four named elves is to solve all difficulties that may be encountered in the long space voyage and the reorganization of civilization. What they protect is the human gene pool;
What they guard is the fire that continues civilization; they are the first
Walkers, because they are the end of the old civilization and the founder of the new civilization. They are superior to humans, as if they don't care about them, because the elves know that... all humans are going to die. They will not kill humans with their own hands, so they let them go
The world is in ruins..."
Looking at the sheath, Russell asked softly: "There is only one question now. The dragon specifically prohibits humans from researching aerospace technology... So, where is the 'ship' that can board all the elves?"
"...Didn't you already guess it?"
Sheath slowly exhaled a breath.
He closed his eyes and whispered: "The 'dragon' is the ship... carrying all human specimens."
"…and you really killed a dragon?"
"Yes, the mage lied to me. They don't want us to leave. The problem is not the human race itself, but the 'core' of this planet. That is what gives humans on this planet their spiritual potential, and it is also
The existence that brings us destruction. It comes from the lock deep in the dream world.
The thing sealed on the surface... is the egg shell from which the 'god' was born. We must escape from this planet. This is something we have only studied and made since '0 years', and the gray dome was established long before that.
.But the number of people the ship can carry is extremely limited, and even the elves cannot carry them all..."
This man, whose soul was empty and ready to die, but as empty as an empty shell, showed a decadent and desperate look when he heard this: "And in order to save the world, I personally destroyed one of the salvation arks. This means
Yes, one in seven people in the world will die because of me in the future.
"Everything the Tower of Babel did, everything I gave... was of no significance. We were wrong. There is no way to save this world... All we can do in the end is to die.
