The other party stood quietly in front of Gordon, motionless, and did not ask him for a library card or other compensation, but just looked at Gordon with those eyes that had neither a flash of inspiration nor a flow of energy.

Seeing that this strange creature was silent, Gordon felt that the other party probably would not pursue his little rudeness just now. In the current state of unclear form, such a non-hostile creature suddenly appeared, and Gordon felt that he needed to negotiate with the other party to see if he could get some information.

So he asked tentatively, "Big guy, I'm Mage Gordon. Freeman, do you have a name? ”

"Don't you already know my name?" The strange creature rhetorically asked, "I'll call the big guy." You're the stupid mage I tricked into coming to the Floating City, but you're a bit of a quick wit to escape my ambush. ”

Gordon has never been called a "" by others. Well, that's not a critical issue, just skip it. But Gordon noticed that the creature called "The Big Guy" was very confused in terms of titles. The person who lured Gordon to the Floating City and planned to capture him was obviously the "little guy", so why did this "big guy" say that it did it? And, why does it know what happened to it?

"Can you give me a more detailed explanation of what you mean? Mr. Big Guy? ”

The other party doesn't seem to be hiding anything, so it would be best if they could take the opportunity to get more information from it.

The big guy was silent for a moment, and seemed to have finally decided to explain to Gordon from the beginning: "The 'little guy' in your mouth is also me, and I am actually the same as it." are all the controllers of this floating city, and the purpose of being created zào. It's for the great Grand Arcanist Hetrus. Oshte service. It's just that after the death of my master, I got sick......"

This artificially created spirit creature. Life is almost infinite, and as long as the control center and the Mithic energy core of the floating city are well preserved, they will always exist. Of course, the "disease" in the mouth of the big guy is not a physical illness in the usual sense, but a mental illness called split personality.

The artificial intelligence of the Floating City came out to serve its master. While it has an almost infinite life force, there is also a very crucial question: what happens if its owner dies?

Whether it's called "the big guy" or the "little guy", at the time of Heteras's lifetime. None of this AI is a creature with a personality of its own, it simply follows the dogma set by its owner and serves to run the Floating City. But when Heteras died, the artificial intelligence lost the meaning of its existence for a while.

Later, in the spiritual cage formed by the many dogmas and guidelines that Heteras established for him during his lifetime, he struggled to find a new meaning of his own.

It was a very painful process because no one was able to teach it and there were no other examples to draw on. But in the end. Once again, this artificial intelligence has found its own meaning of existence. It's just that it is listed as the primary survival goal, and there are two. The first is to maintain the existence of this floating city and protect it from the invasion of outside forces. Second. It's about finding a qualified successor for the Floating City.

There is no doubt about the first objective, the problem lies in the second. Before Heteras's unexpected death, there was no very detailed and strict inheritance system for the intelligent managers of the floating city. Just sue sù it if you have an accident. Then let its descendants inherit the Floating City, and it will continue to serve it.

But when Heteras died. There are no descendants of the Osht family in the floating city. And it is impossible for this Mr. Artificial Intelligence to leave the mysterious space trapped in the Floating City and go elsewhere to find the mage who has the blood of the Osht family.

However, the city can't be left without an owner for a day, and this Mr. Artificial Intelligence has developed schizophrenic symptoms in this long-term anxiety and a sense of failure that the goal cannot be achieved, and two personalities are born. One of them is the big man Gordon has met now, who is the part of the artificial intelligence of the Floating City that strictly adheres to the original dogma, and is only interested in how to protect the Floating City and keep it running as smoothly as possible. The other is the little man he met for the first time in the witch's hut before, and he is paranoid and ready to use his strength to find someone who meets the criteria and can inherit this floating city at any cost.

Of course, this lucky person must not be Gordon, otherwise he would not be greeted by betrayal and traps, but would have been respectfully sent to the throne of the city lord by the artificial intelligence of the floating city.

Because it is a unique spirit creature that relies on the energy core of the floating city, after the personality of this Mr. artificial intelligence is split, his body is also split into two, becoming a unique state of one life and two bodies. Normally, although the two personalities do not interfere with each other and do not belong to each other, when one party enters the core center of the floating city, then the two personalities can share memories.

The radical part of the Floating City's AI, the "Little Man", has a plan to find a new heir for the Floating City, which is even crazier and more radical than Gordon imagined.

"The little man wants to resurrect his master." The big man said to Gordon, and then quietly looked at the surprised expression on the other man's face.

"Resurrect Hytrus?" Gordon thought it was a "genius" idea. Yes, there is no one better than Heteras. Osht himself is more qualified to inherit the floating city. But the question is, can the other party do it?

"Do you keep Hetruss's body intact?"

"Nope. The dead body of the master has been lost in the Void Storm. The big man shook his head.

"Have you found the soul of Heteras? If it is found, and there is a cloning technology to recreate the body, then this huge and complicated project can also be completed. But the longer it takes to die, the more difficult it is to resurrect. I don't know when Heteras died, but it's been a long time coming, and you-well, I mean the little man, have very little chance of resurrecting the Grand Arcanist. ”

"Yes, you're right." The big man nodded. It seems to only nod and shake its head in simple body language.

"It's not so much a resurrection as a reinvention." The big man continued, "The little man is ready to make another master come out. And to do that, you are needed, Mage. An Arcanist, to be exact. (To be continued......)
