Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao's strength was far beyond what Sirence could bear. Although he held back his strength when he struck, the weak scholar Sirence was still knocked to the ground, curled up in pain.

Silence can comprehend a variety of ancient technologies such as hacking with the fragments of information left by the old era, which shows that he is a genius similar to Aloy, no, Elizabeth.

From the way Sirence behaves, one can guess his personality and beliefs.

This is a scientific madman who will do anything to obtain knowledge. There is no distinction between good and evil in his concept, and he will help whoever can provide knowledge.

To put it bluntly, this is called a mother who has milk.

If this kind of person is appointed under a responsible and capable person like Elizabeth Sobek, he should become her most important right-hand man.

But if he was allowed to join the enemy's team, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Aloy, think carefully before making a decision."

Lu Xiao said to Ailoy seriously: "For a fanatical seeker like Sirens, if you use righteousness, you will be right, and if you use evil, you will be evil. Your decision may affect the future of this world, so don't make a rash decision."

Chapter 464 Initiated Faith

When Eloy hesitated, Aletheia's voice suddenly rang in Lu Xiao's mind.

"I found what you were looking for, do you want to play it now?"

Lu Xiao's heart moved, and she said calmly, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it after the things here are over."

"Understood... there is one more thing."

"The data you asked me to restore has been completed, and I have sent it to your foc."

A reminder that the file was successfully received flashed before Lu Xiao's eyes. This is an audio file, which should be one of the records of Elizabeth and Gaia's communication.

"Aloy, wait a minute."

Lu Xiao released the audio file: "Listen to this audio first, this should be the last message left by Elizabeth."

……

"...Elizabeth, your story is not over yet."

"Huh? Uh, where did you just talk?"

"Toy."

"Oh, yes, toys."

Elizabeth sighed: "I connected the wires of electronic toys to car panels and solar panels, and my lawn caught fire because the components shorted out."

"In addition to the lawn, an old pine tree over a hundred years old was also burned. I was blamed by neighbors and community leaders for this."

Gaia: "Question, how old were you at that time?"

"Six years old."

Elizabeth said with emotion: "Fortunately, my mother was at home at the time. She called the fire brigade to put out the fire and helped me resist the adults' accusations."

"Once everything had calmed down, she took me out into the burnt yard and let me watch the baby birds that had died from the fire in the pine trees."

Gaia: "Ask, how did you feel at the time?"

Elizabeth was silent for a few seconds, as if recalling the scene at the time: "I...not sure, I remember I yelled 'I don't care'."

"My mother took my face gently with both hands, and said something that I still remember deeply."

"She said I had to care because it was a consequence of my reckless behaviour."

"She said, Elizabeth, if you can't make the world a better place, your intelligence beyond your peers means nothing."

"You have to use your wisdom to do meaningful things, to serve life, not death."

Gaia was silent for a few seconds before asking again: "You often mention your mother, but you don't have any children yourself. Why?"

"Uh~"

Elizabeth paused awkwardly for a moment: "I...don't have time to find a partner, maybe this is the best for me."

Gaia: "If you had a baby, what would you expect from her or him?"

Hearing this, Aloy's whole body tensed up. Whether she admitted it or not, she already regarded Elizabeth as her mother in her heart.

Gaia's question made Elizabeth a little overwhelmed. She had never considered this question before.

The always articulate genius scientist falters for a while before giving an answer: "I think, maybe I'd like her (him) to be... curious?"

"I hope she (he) is stubborn and won't listen to others' persuasion, but..."

Elizabeth laughed softly: "I hope she (he) has a kind heart, like my mother said, and uses her talents to make the world a better place...even if it's just a little bit."

Judging from Eloy's slightly dazed eyes, which could see a gleam of light, she seemed to have learned something from Elizabeth's words.

Elizabeth gave everything to practice her beliefs, and she hoped to pass on to her next generation what her mother taught her when she was a child...even though she didn't really have a child until she died.

After a long silence, Aloy's eyes became firm.

"Sirance, you just said that you want to atone for the mistakes you made?"

Silence nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I told you everything about Hades."

"Then listen carefully."

Aloy solemnly said to Sirence: "Given the uncertainty of your position, I will always monitor you. Once I discover your intention to endanger the world, I will immediately end your life."

"Other than that, I will not place any restrictions on your research, but I hope you can help me complete the revival of civilization together."

Silence's face changed: "Civilization revival? With Apollo already offline, just the two of us?"

"of course not."

Aloy shook her head: "I will use the authority Elizabeth gave me to explore ruins around the world, find out more remaining ancient technologies and knowledge, and use them for the people."

"Perhaps we will not be able to revive civilization to the heights that our ancestors have achieved in our lifetime, but I believe that as long as this concept is passed on from generation to generation, one day we will reproduce the glorious civilization of mankind, and even build on this foundation. further."

Silence looked at Aloy fixedly, as if intending to confirm from her eyes whether she spoke impulsively or not.

"...Looks like you're serious."

After closing his eyes and thinking about it, Silence said calmly, "Although my position is different from yours, I am indeed very interested in your idea of ​​exploring ancient ruins."

"Before your use value ends, I can temporarily cooperate with you."
