Chapter 152

At the moment when the magic projection of No. 3 appeared, Joshua raised his vigilance to the highest level.

He scanned his eyes to observe the direction of the magic around him, and began to build models in his brain to speculate on the source of each other's magic. The warrior's eyes, which are comparable to professional equipment, can clearly see that the source of the power of the projection comes from the highest and largest machine building in the steel Rune city. On the silver white steel template on the top of the huge building, there are countless runes shining, casting the endless magic here.

At the moment of confirming the source of the other party, Joshua's right hand gathered amazing fighting spirit, firmly locked in that direction, and Lin on one side also tacit understanding walked to his left hand, ready to be magical.

This is not an overreaction. You know, today's Joshua is wearing a full set of armor forged for him by Moria, but the AI in front of him can easily know the existence of the sage's legacy in his hands through the armor and body protection without his noticing.

In the face of such existence, it is never too extreme to raise one's vigilance. Joshua always believed that communication only exists in the existence of equivalence.

"There's no need to look hostile."

3 No. 1 noticed the hostility of Joshua, which was different from the supernatural machine Ying and Lin of alchemy creatures with partial souls. As a partial machine AI, she lost some emotional ability, but had a great advantage in pure reaction speed. She quickly said, "I have no malice to you. In fact, you can come here so smoothly, Because of my arrangement. "

When he said this, the voice of No. 3 was still so calm and cold. On his delicate face, his gray blue pupils seemed to be stagnant, as if everything was irrelevant: "otherwise, the automatic defense measures of the fortress would have been started long ago. Even if you could force your way in, it would not be easy."

In fact, there was no need for the other party to lie. Joshua felt the terrible power contained in the magic lightning overhead, which was enough to threaten his life. He nodded slightly and accepted the explanation.

But there's one more thing he doesn't understand.

"You call yourself number three... So number three, I'll make a long story short."

Looking around at the magic flow, Joshua knew that the other person's Noumenon was actually in the steel Rune machine. The projection in front of him was just a human terminal convenient for communication. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you so friendly? We are not carlis, we are obvious outsiders, even invaders."

"If you have been communicating with us from the very beginning, it makes sense. Why do you wait until we come to this central dogmatic area to meet us?"

On one side, Moria and Claire all looked at the magic projection of Joshua and the alien with a puzzled face. They could barely distinguish some traces of astral language with completely incomprehensible language, but it was still meaningless. They didn't know what they were talking about.

"When did Joshua speak the alien language..." Claire murmured, "since his great grandfather's generation, I have never seen anyone in his family speak more than two languages."

"No, they learn at least a little bit of dwarfism and elvish." Moria retorted subconsciously, but he also shook his head and didn't know how to sigh: "this guy..."

"Master, what are they talking about..."

Lin spoke to himself gently. He could understand each other's meaning through spiritual communication with soldiers. However, Shenji boy was awakened recently. He only knew about things on the mainland of mirov, There is no way to get the information he can understand from the conversation between Joshua and No. 3.

"Race is meaningless. The kallis never distinguish people by blood."

3 The magic projection of No.1 has obviously made a fine design. When she speaks, every detail is very well done. Whether it's the movement of her lips or the flapping of her wings behind her waist, it's so real. She blinks her eyes and says calmly: "what's more, the world has long been destroyed, the civilization of the kallis people has been buried in the dust, and the fire has gone out, In this dark world, I am the only one with meaningless life... It doesn't matter whether you invade or not, because I have nothing to protect. "

Speaking of this, the projection of No. 3 slightly bent down, and her tone changed for the first time. She seemed to say from the bottom of her heart: "you... Only you are different."

"Me?" Joshua frowned, a little unhappy while on guard.

He likes to accept the worship of others, and he also likes to hear the words of praise, but the soldiers don't like this kind of special treatment without any reason, especially in the face of 03, which can threaten his power: "why am I different from my partner?"

3 No. 1's projection humanized looked around the old dwarf and spirit. Her eyes stayed on Lin's body for a while, but also quickly turned around."Two alien creatures, they don't have the power of order, an artificial life similar to me, but different from me, although they have the power of order, it comes from the other..." she said slowly: "only you, the one who holds the relics of sages, have the sun, fire, and traces left by sages - you have the power of order, and are extremely strong."

3 The way she said it was to shake the atmosphere with magic and send out sound waves: "for me, an AI that has been programmed for a long time, this is the most important thing - the kallis people have been exterminated and their civilization has been cut off. Although I don't know where you came from, you are the only creatures in the world - which is what I have seen, The only holder of the power of order. For me, you are the new authority holder and the key to fighting the enemy. "

"... well said, but far fetched."

Joshua reluctantly accepted this explanation, but he was still on guard and said frankly, "but No.3, your intelligence is beyond my imagination. I'm not ignorant, and I've seen a lot of AI. In principle, for your level of artificial intelligence, the so-called written program is no longer the reason to bind you. "

"You have wisdom." The soldier said so in a low voice: "with wisdom, we are human beings, but human beings will lie and break the oath."

"You're right. Normally speaking, when I meet you, I should directly give you a full set of authority. But because of my wisdom, I didn't. although according to my thinking and judgment, this is not the best choice, I still did it."

After listening to Joshua's words in silence, he seemed to retort. As if he didn't know how to tell a lie at all, No. 3 told all his thoughts with the same expression: "as for why I still do things according to the procedure, the reason is very simple."

After a short silence, the voice rang out again.

"Because besides that, I don't know what to do."

3 No. 1 looked up, and she looked at the top of the vertical pit. The bright golden light was flashing, which was the energy core of the whole fortress. Countless magic powers gathered above the heads of the people.

Looking at the light, No. 3's expression finally became more vivid, and she looked sad. This was the first time that she showed such an obvious expression: "the world has fallen into darkness, and all the carlis who wrote the program for me have already died. I drove alone in the wilderness, fighting with chaos, absorbing the only existing power in the world, So day and night, through a thousand years... My wisdom has no use, in addition to the mechanical according to the procedure to do, what else can I do? "

As if with a laugh of self mockery, No. 3 looked at Joshua. Her gray blue eyes were just projections, but they seemed to contain soul. She said calmly, "I was just a program without wisdom to maintain the operation of the fortress, but on the last day of the kallis civilization, in order to maintain the power of the crystal sun, People put their lives into the body of "me", and the power of countless souls makes me who has no soul and wisdom become what I am today - a fortress with my own will. "

"After thousands of years, I can't show any other feelings. I finally have my soul and watch it damage little by little in unbearable loneliness. This is my experience. "

Joshua was silent. He looked at the magic projection in front of him and felt that the energy flow in the whole fortress was trembling with the AI.

"In my body, there is the roar of countless carlis people - revenge, revenge towards chaos, order, the pursuit of the most powerful order - this is the only purpose and criterion of my action."

Speaking of this, No. 3 suddenly shut up. She looked directly at the red pupils behind Joshua's helmet and said in a soft voice, "more said, soldier with the power of order." She nodded slightly and said, "what do you want?"
