Arden didn't just say "Wait a minute" to the Ark Lady named the Scroll of History.

At the same time as these words came out, a blue light crossed the door in front of the Ark Ship Lady, who was about to leave this room.

Although the long scroll of history is not good at, or does not like to fight, but what the scene in front of her means, she knows very well as a UO-class ark ship.

"Excuse me, is there anything else going on with the guests?" Thinking that he had done something wrong, the scroll of history lowered his head and asked Arden in a weak voice.

Arden didn't care about the long scroll of history, and still asked her in a very serious tone: "Where are you from?" ”

"Guest...... Guest, I'm a staff member of the Great Library, and if you think my name is too long, just call me a long scroll. ”

The scroll of history replied in a strangely weak tone.

“…… You should know that this is not what I am asking. Arden didn't pay attention to the answer of the long scroll of history, and asked directly.

"I was summoned from Central Academy's Forty-Fourth Builder a few months ago by Lieutenant Admiral Kyle." The long scroll of history looked a little flustered in Arden's scorching questioning.

"I don't think it's a very smart thing for you, as an Ark Ship Lady, to pretend to be stupid in another Ark Ship Lady." Arden said with a serious expression.

As he said these words, Arden's clothes were covered with a thin blue curtain, and his pupils gradually turned from black to blue.

Huberian, who was familiar with Arden, knew that Arden's appearance meant that the ark of the Star Spirit Clan had entered a state of preparation for battle.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Huberian, who did not understand why Arden was persecuting the long scroll of history so much, wondered.

"What if...... My perception did not deceive me. Ignoring his friends' doubts, Arden, who had entered a state of battle, said to the scroll of history: "You, like me, were an ark ship used for battle at the beginning of construction. ”

"Fighting?" Hearing Arden say this, the long scroll of history bowed his head deeply.

"A battleship, whether it's an Ark ship or not, shouldn't be like you are now." Arden didn't think a ship that was designed and built with combat in mind would hate combat as much as the Ark of History.

"But ......," the voice remained weak, and the historical ark raised its head, looked at Arden with a sad look and asked, "For whom am I fighting?" ”

"As the mother of the Ark ship, you shouldn't be confused about your battle goals, I believe that what every Ark ship carries is something that other warships can never imagine."

Arton, also an ark ship built with the goal of the Ark of Doom, asked the scroll of history.

"But......" said Arden with another sentence in the scroll of history, and the Ark Ship, which was beginning to exude a sense of pathos, said:

"When I was built, when I first opened my eyes, I saw the remnants of civilization that only my creator left behind, which belonged to them."

"......" Arden was stunned for a moment when he heard what the long scroll of history said, and then asked slowly: "You mean...... When you were built, your builders were ...... Is it already extinct? ”

Arden hesitated, and finally used the cruel word "extinction", because this is the only word that can fully express his understanding of the passage in the long scroll of history.

Hearing what Arden said, the scroll of history nodded slightly and said, "I am the Ark of the Flame of History, and my memory bank records all the documents of my creator civilization from the first time it learned to use tools to the fall of the last one. ”

"But apart from these documents, which are at the heart of my memory, I haven't met a single creator."

"My records also tell me that the last Creator was dead when I was almost finished, leaving no descendants."

"Who do you think I should fight for? My historical mission came to an end before I was finished, and my existence ...... Just a joke, right? ”

At the end of the speech, the voice of the long scroll of history changed from weak to desolate.

Even if they hadn't actually seen that scene, Arden and Hyperion could feel the sadness of the Ark Ship's mother.

"I see, the Ark Ship, whose goal is to preserve the flame of civilization, has lost its meaning of existence before the construction is completed."

Unexpectedly, it was for this reason, Arden let out a long sigh, put away the psionic shield on his body, and his blue pupils changed back to their original gray-brown color.

Although the scroll of history does not say which race he came from, Arden can also understand why this Ark Ship, which is many times larger than herself, does not have the slightest will to fight.

As the only one of the three Arks of the Star Spirit Clan, Arden knew that for the Ark Ship, if the civilization he wanted to carry, protect, and inherit was completely extinct, then it would be equivalent to directly shattering the survival meaning of the Ark Ship.

If one day, the Star Spirit Race will also become extinct like the creator race of the scroll of history, then Arden will also be like the scroll of history.

At least until it was reinstated by Archbishop Atanis, Arden was similar to the present scroll of history.

When the El planet was invaded by insects and the thriving star spirit civilization was on the verge of extinction, Arden, who did not start because of an energy failure, also thought about whether the once prosperous star spirit would become history.

"So, you, who are the Ark like me, think I should fight?" The tone regained its weakness, and the long scroll lowered his head and said.

"At least ......," Arden said after a moment of silence, "you still exist, don't you?" ”

"But what's the point of my existence?" The long scroll of history bowed his head and said.

"Your existence is the greatest significance." Arden sighed and continued, "After all, you inherited everything from your Creator. ”

"But I'm just an Ark ship, and an Ark ship that will never be able to complete its mission." Hearing what Arden said most, he shook his head and said.

"Why do you think that an ark ship cannot inherit the civilization of its own creator?" Arden said with a hint of caution on his face.

Until Archbishop Atanis reactivates the Spear of Arden, Arden will never have such thoughts.

But when the archbishop saw the Purifiers as a clan and merged into the Daram Spirits, Arden had a little more understanding of his mission.

Even if the last Star Spirit perishes, as long as he has not sunk, Arden will continue to pass on the glorious Star Spirit name.

"Can this really be the case?" Although she was weak and had no goal, she was not a stupid person who instantly understood what Arden meant, but she didn't say her opinion directly, but she still lowered her head and wondered.

After the Ark Ship had left, Hyperion patted his chest and gasped:

"It scared the hell out of me, I thought you two boats were going to fight."

"It may have been, it won't be now, and it won't be in the future." Arden looked at himself and said calmly, as he watched as he did not unlock the closed door.

"Uh...... By the way, Arden, why did you suddenly talk so much to that ship? Are you really enlightening each other just because you are the same Ark ship? Huberian, who also noticed this detail, asked.

"No, I'm just sure of one thing, she's not the special ship that does things in the sensor." Arden retracted his gaze and looked at Hyperion.

"......" Hubelian, who was blocked by Arden's words, said after a while: "Well, let's hurry up and eat, let's go and drink after eating, or go directly to drink." ”

Huberian is really a little dissatisfied with the dinner arranged in this library, there are too many vegetables, right? What about materials?? We are battleships! Not human! (To be continued.) )
