Ark of the Immortal

The doctor chuckled, whether it was ridicule or pity.

Does it sound weird? It's not like something she would do at all?

The immortal thought for a moment and shook his head.

Not that it's weird.

From my memory, I can believe that she is like this.

In the memory seen by the undead, Kelsey was able to argue with the doctor about casualties and sacrifices for that war, which is enough to illustrate Kelsey's past character.

I thought she wouldn't object. But she was the first one to object.

Yes, that's right. The first person to object was the mother of these children. She was sentimental. But she was ahead of others in medicine and research on the Source Stone.

The doctor clasped his hands together.

She and I created these children who can coexist with the power of the abyss and let them become the pioneers of a new generation. But she couldn't let go of these children for fear that they would be devastated. So at that time, she and I After making a decision, she took the initiative to ask to stay. As a supervisor, it is actually a relief for herself.

We all know that if you want to survive for such a long time, you will go crazy. This is a sure thing, and the facts also give us the answer. Kelsey has completely become a different person.

The doctor spread his hands.

She's not good at strategizing, she doesn't show cruelty, and she always smiles when she faces everyone. But how much does she look like before now?

The smile on her face turned into a long-lasting ice and silence, and her words also had a thorny flavor. She seemed to do things rationally, but in fact it was just to give herself an acceptable explanation. Those nights when she couldn't sleep. , how many mental barriers she has set for herself are preventing her from closing her eyes?

As you know, she led Rhode Island forward while I was away. Although she did succeed in keeping Rhode Island from falling apart. But Rhode Island not only suffered a financial deficit, but also lost many elites. Operator.

The most typical example is Greyhound. Although that guy is not entirely from our Rhode Island side, at least we have the same purpose. But not only did she not understand this, she even asked him to go to Dayan. The country with the least problems is in danger and has even lost contact.

She changed her body, changed her appearance, and became unable to trust others. She couldn't even do simple things like decentralization. She took everything into her own hands, and she believed that she was the only one She can handle these things, but it turns out that she can't. Even if she tries to be like me, she can't completely think about the essence of things as me.

The doctor raised his hand and knocked on his forehead.

I am who I am, and there is no way to become someone else. Kelsey has spent tens of thousands of years living as a human being and a ghost, so she needs to reawaken me.

The doctor's words seemed cruel and inhumane. But it is the best summary of Kelsey.

She is no longer herself, but she still firmly believes that she is on the right path.

The doctor is not trying to seduce her, these words will make people feel uncomfortable. But in fact it is just the doctor's lament about the past.

My rationality allowed me to become the military commander at the time, and it also allowed me to regain control of Rhode Island now. We have different personalities, but our goals are the same, and Kelsey and I are also the best partners.

The doctor seems to be gentle to everyone, always considers everything when doing things, and brings victory to Rhode Island operators every time.

But in fact, he is the most ruthless one.

For the victory he promised, he could count everyone among the victims, including his relatives, friends, and himself.

Kelsey, on the other hand, seems to have a cold attitude towards everyone, with rationality taking the highest priority and a business-like attitude.

But in fact, she is the most emotional one.

Every time I force myself to make a choice that I think is right, I may feel sad and cry silently in my heart. But she had forgotten the expression of this emotion.

Time is cruel.

The immortal said.

Forcing someone to become another person.

Yes, that's why I have such respect for that prophet.

The doctor sighed and said.

She has walked alone for more time than any of us can imagine. From the era described in your words to the era when we were born in darkness, she has lived for so long, but she has never forgotten her own The purpose is to meet you again.

The doctor tilted his head.

Although it is impossible for me to have such emotions, even trying to understand the mental strength required to act like that makes me shudder.

Lord Ashes, you are also an immortal, you can understand what this means.

She saved everything about her for you, her original appearance, and her original character. Just so that you won't feel strange when you meet her again.

You are her hero, your belief, your everything.

The undead fell into a long silence.

He didn't expect that the doctor would turn the topic to the fire girl.

The key thing is that the immortal knows clearly that what the doctor said is right and very pertinent.

But the Immortal couldn't accept the change in this relationship for a while.

In his memory, the fire girl has always been his... partner? Or colleagues.

But he could also feel that the fire girl's trust and dependence on him had gone beyond the normal range.

Originally, he was doing what he should do wholeheartedly. But now that the First Fire is in his body, he no longer has that sole goal.

Facing such a proactive fire girl, the immortal would be at a loss.

Seeing the undead man's confusion, the doctor smiled slightly.

Don't worry about this. In terms of interpersonal communication, I may be able to teach you more. It is impossible for you to be separated. She belongs to you and you belong to her. This relationship will not be affected by anything. Change. Just get used to it slowly. Before that, you might as well try to feel what she brings to you.

The undead man hesitated for a while, then nodded.

Thanks.

Nothing, I'm also very interested in your situation.

The doctor shook his head and moved his overlapping legs up and down.

He picked up the coffee cup and took another sip to moisten his throat before continuing.

Back to the topic, I think you may also be unfamiliar with the so-called Agor. After all, it is a city born on the basis of your death.

Agor is a city that serves as the anchor point of the world. Our last stop was in Agor. Therefore, Agor has inherited most of the heritage of that era.

In our plan, Agor will not have too much contact with the cities on land. The people living there have only one task. That is to fix the anchor point of the world and prevent the world barrier from shifting. So Agor It’s very strange to people on land.”

However, it is actually not unfamiliar to you. You have come into contact with that group of Agor people.

Um?

The undead man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

Scadi?

yes.

The doctor nodded.

Strictly speaking, today's Agor people are no longer the final products of the batch we left behind.

Initially, we considered that the city of Agor's duty is to be the frontline of the world's barrier, suppressing the abyssal forces lurking in the deep sea. Therefore, in the topic of abyssal adaptability, we gave them the highest degree of abyssal adaptability. .”

And I am the most successful product born from that original project.

The doctor spread his hands and said.

Be able to perfectly adapt to the power of the abyss, while maintaining your own sanity and not being affected by the abyss when you are awake. But the price is to lose your sanity at an extremely fast speed, and finally become the deepest abyss existence. How about it? Aren’t they a bit like the immortals of your time?”

No wonder Rhodes Island has the formula to create a mixture of humanity. Perhaps the doctor had already thought of a solution the moment he used himself as an experimental subject.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for a being like me to make a second copy. Therefore, those candidates who are warriors among the Agor people are, strictly speaking, defective products.

They have extremely high resistance to the abyss. They can control all their rationality when they are awake and hardly react to the properties of the abyss. But their bodies are most suitable as carriers of the abyss. So they will always hear the saying Hometown call. Once you accept the depth of your heart, you will break the shackles and transform into a giant in the abyss.

And the names of these people today are deep-sea hunters.

The undead man fell silent again.

Such was the weight of the past that it left even him speechless.

Could it be that the way these deep-sea hunters were born is...

Yes, they are warriors developed based on some of the abyss fragments and the abyss nest we obtained.

The doctor smiled and said mockingly.

It's strange. We obviously have to fight against the abyss, but we gain strength from the abyss.

What a genius idea.

The immortal could only say this.

If he were born in the Age of Fire, the Doctor might have similar interests with the legendary original sin scholar Andil.

And one more thing.

The undead man was still immersed in the surprise that the doctor had brought to him before, and he threw out another big gift.

You are also very familiar with the core of the world's barrier in Agor's anchor point.

The doctor took a piece of paper and wrote some obscure words on the paper.

Leave it to the undead.

The immortal looked at it for a while and felt that it was very familiar.

He frowned slightly and spoke tentatively.

Cuneiform...cuneiform stone?

yes.

The doctor smiled and nodded.

We collected all the keystones we could still find, and used the flames you left as a driving force to launch the World Barrier.

The so-called world barrier is like a weapon forged from the power and flame contained in the keystone.

After all, the so-called heirs are also part of the abyss, and the characteristic of heirs is that they can complete evolution at an extremely fast speed when their consciousness is connected.

And only mysterious things like keystones can suppress them on the seabed.

Similarly, the weapons of deep-sea hunters are also weapons made by mixing wedge-shaped stone fragments or powder.

Only this kind of weapon can cut off the links between their so-called large groups and truly kill the Abyss.

The undead man took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

Reasonable, very reasonable.

Stones engraved with ancient cuneiform writing can be used to enhance the power of weapons since the Age of Fire. Even the people of the Age of Fire couldn't fully explain that mysterious power.

The abyss that was born together with the flame will naturally be affected by this power.

This is the story of the beginning of the Age of Terra.

Although it is only a corner of that era, it is also a fragment of the end.

But it’s enough to make people feel excited.

There must be many unknown corners where small things that can move the world happen.

But it would be too long if the Doctor were to tell them one by one.

I have a slight guess about what Kelsey is doing now. She has finally done something that is in step with you.

She found some remnants of Iberia's golden age in Iberia, and she did predict the trajectory of Agor.

After some time, when she comes back, you can ask her questions about Agor. Maybe you will be curious about what the last city looks like now, and she will definitely need your help.

The doctor drank the last bit of coffee in the coffee cup, looking a little unsatisfied.

Before that, just take a good rest.

The doctor looked at the undead man, and his tone became more and more sighing.

It's not easy for you to establish contact with that person.

The exchange between the two ends here.

The undead man got the news he wanted to know, and the doctor also knew the undead man's follow-up.

The relationship between the two remains that of best partners. Nowadays, there is even more sense of heritage and mission.

Looking at this old friend in front of him who has hardly changed from his memory.

The undead man nodded slowly.

Thanks.
