This mechanical voice made Gawain stunned for a moment.

He was no stranger to the sound — first heard it when he was disengaged from the satellite, warning and announcing the activation of the escape system, and then the system sound that was occasionally heard when connecting to a satellite, and he was already certain that it belonged to a satellite in space—or to an entire fleet of space facilities.

He raised his hand, then tentatively touched the large black book again, this time, but there was no response.

Bertilla couldn't hear the voice in Gawain's head, but she saw that the expression on the latter's face changed instantly, and she naturally couldn't help but wonder: "What happened?" ”

"What is this thing for...... Gawain to hide his embarrassment?" ”

Bertila stretched out her hand to the large black-skinned book and let it fall into her own hand, while her other hand flipped over the air: "It records countless knowledge, and it can be set in the bar...... Belch? ”

The pages of the big black book turned by magic, but there was no strange image between the pages, and on each page, there was a red cross and a line of glaring red words: "Proxy access is disconnected, please check the validity of authorization." ”

Gawain had seen the words on the pages, and now he was sure that this thing might be ...... It was broken by myself.

"This ...... How could this be......" Bertila also showed a rare look of surprise and even a slight panic, "It hasn't happened in hundreds of years...... It never ......"

"Hmm...... You don't care about its state for now," Gawain said in a somewhat stiff tone, "You can tell me what this thing is all about, and tell me where it came from, and see if I have any clues." ”

Bertila was stunned, and then remembered Gawain's identity as an "extraterritorial wanderer" - although she kept reminding herself, she always forgot this every time she saw Gawain Cecil's face - as an "extraterritorial wanderer", she must be well-informed, right?

"The Ultimate Book...... As I said, it was a transcendent object we found in this ancient ruin, which was tightly guarded in a complex device, but that device had been damaged by the passage of time by the time we found it. The book contains a seemingly endless amount of knowledge, and it will take on the language that best suits the reader – when we first discovered it, it was full of unrecognizable symbols, but after several openings, it began to present its contents to us in lingua franca.

"Its first function is to present all kinds of knowledge according to the needs of the reader, but only to the things that actually exist in the world and can be seen, such as the location of a certain mountain peak or the length of a certain river - there is another detail about this, it can present very little knowledge at the beginning, and a lot of the content is wrong and missing, or directly tells the reader, 'The information is incomplete, needs to be updated', but over time it begins to describe more and more things, as if it has been learning in some way;

And its second function is even more incredible than the first: after setting certain conditions, it can even deduce the evolution of certain things, such as how high the success rate of a conditional experiment is, its terrible accuracy in this regard, and it can even deduce the changes in the situation on the continent, such as ...... Part of the civil war in Ansu was deduced by it......"

As Bertilla spoke, Gawain's brows furrowed uncontrollably, he never thought that the Society of the End of All Things would have such a powerful "artifact" in his hands, and after hearing the part about "deduction", he couldn't help but ask: "So, is Cecil's development also in its deduction?" ”

“…… No, that's what baffles me," Berthira shook her head, "it can't answer all the questions about the Extraterritorial Wanderers, and it refuses to deduce the development of everything centered around the Extraterritorial Wanderers, the hint is...... Dangerous access, denial of authorization. ”

Gawain's mind was already racing.

Unable to answer questions about extraterritorial loiters...... This is easy to understand, because first of all, he, the extraterritorial wanderer, is not from this world, and secondly, almost all the "information" about the extraterritorial wanderer is still made up by himself and made up by the brain of the eternal sleeper, and this thing called the "ultimate book" should not be connected to the brain hole of the eternal sleeper, but he refuses to deduce the development of things related to the extraterritorial wanderer...... This is a bit of a "proactive" factor.

The first thing that came to his mind was the phrase he heard when he touched the Book of Ultimate: Illegal media logged into the system has been detected.

There can be two interpretations for this sentence: Gawain, the traverser, is an "illegal medium" and therefore cannot be logged into the Book of Ultimate, or...... The Book of Ultimate is an "illegal medium", so it cannot be logged in to Gawain, a "satellite spirit"!

In addition, the deduction function of the Ultimate Book mentioned by Berthira also reminded Gawain of the origin space, the virtual world created by the Eternal Sleeper, or strictly speaking, the "simulation calculation function" based on the virtual world technology.

The Ultimate Book was dug up hundreds of years ago, and the Eternal Sleeper's psychic network was only recently completed, so this book is definitely not linked to a psychic network, but to another super system with powerful computing power that can perform simulation calculations......

Of course, it is not ruled out that this deduction ability is a function of the Ultimate Book itself, rather than a link to some other higher-level system, but considering the prompt sound when he touched the book before, and the characteristics of the book that the information was incomplete at the beginning, and the database was slowly updated as if it was downloading something in the background, Gawain still couldn't help but think that this thing was just a second-hand dealer of information - the things it presented were linked from elsewhere.

Bertila saw that Gawain was deep in thought, and although she was full of questions, she still forcibly pressed it down and did not speak, but the wriggling vines and slightly trembling roots in the hall revealed that her mood was not calm - Gawain also noticed these movements, but forcibly did not care.

He has thought about the critical stage:

If the Ultimate Book is assumed to be linking to another data source, then this data source is known to include the following characteristics:

There is a large amount of data, mainly about various things on the continent (mountains, rivers, flora and fauna, distribution, mineral characteristics, etc.), which is suspected to be able to accurately scan the earth;

Should have strong computing power, which can be used to deduce events or conduct simulation experiments;

The data is updated at any time, so it took a long time for the Ultimate Book to be updated and synchronized after it was suddenly activated by the End of All Things Society;

Gawain didn't know how many things in the world that matched all of these characteristics, but he knew at least one - the group of black technology satellites in the sky......

Although these were all his own speculations, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and when he finally looked at the Ultimate Book, his eyes inevitably became weird:

Damn, I'm afraid this thing hasn't been secretly rubbing its own net!

I have traveled through two lives once, and I will even encounter the situation of being rubbed into the net! And it's still a book! What makes sense of this?

Knowing that the Zenith Fleet, which had long since disappeared, was unlikely to turn back to deal with the after-sales problem for this matter, Gawain could only pout in his heart, and secretly decided to go back and let Daniel open a few more ports on the Eternal Sleeper's psychic network......

Bertila had been waiting quietly until now, and finally couldn't help but speak: "You...... Any clues? ”

Gawain finally woke up from his thoughts, and while casually agreeing, he couldn't help but stare at the ultimate book again—at this time, thinking of the sound he heard when he came into contact with the book, and the fact that the book lost its effect after contact, the truth seemed to be clear at a glance:

Obviously, a black IP that has been rubbing the network for a long time suddenly encountered the physical connection of the security system, and then was directly crushed to death by the self-defense mechanism of the genuine system...... No wonder it refuses to deduce events related to "extraterritorial loiters", which is clearly a mechanism to avoid danger!

It should be a good thing to get rid of a netuser, but Gawain still couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of regret:

Although this ultimate book is a rubbing net, it seems to be ...... After it links to the satellite system, it can query more things than its own "satellite master"......

Maybe it's because of some mysterious ancient technology, or maybe it's because he can only link one satellite, and the Book of Ultimate is linking to more data sources, but in any case, this thing seems to be a very useful tool - at least Gawain himself currently has no data deduction and historical data query functions other than mobilizing the satellite's surveillance camera......

Gawain's expression became strange again, so much so that Bertila next to her thought that the "Extraterritorial Wanderer" in front of her was too emotionally rich in the face of a book - this may be caused by some unique ethnic characteristics of the "Extraterritorial Wanderer", but she couldn't help but speak again: "Are you ......"

"It's nothing," Gawain finally shook off the whole pile of thoughts for a while this time, he waved his hand and looked at Bertila with an embarrassed expression, "According to my knowledge, this book should be a 'fake', so ......"

"You can tell it's a fake?" Gao Wen just said casually, trying to find a reason for the damage to the Ultimate Book, but he didn't expect Bertila to immediately speak in surprise, "The Extraterritorial Wanderer really has a lot of mysterious knowledge...... Indeed, it is a fake, this is how it describes itself. ”

Gawain hid his embarrassment and asked curiously, "A description of yourself?" How exactly is it described? ”

"A false key to pry open the door to truth, a forgery, but with the right method, can also be useful—these are the first words that come to mind every time the Book of Ultimate is activated. Of course, now even this sentence is gone. ”

Gawain: "......"

It was the first time he had heard of the poetic ...... that "rubbing the net" could be described

Yes, through this "self-statement" of the Ultimate Book, he can be even more sure that this thing is rubbing the net.

He shook his head and brought the topic back to his own pace: "Because it's a fake, it's far more fragile than the original, and in fact it's on the verge of its limit by the time you get it. ”

Bertila blinked.

Gawain continued, "And the dangerous experiments you are conducting here have further accelerated its damage - its refusal to deduce the events surrounding me, the 'Wanderer', is already a warning that it is nearing its limit, and that some of its functions are already starting to be damaged or limited. ”

Berthira blinked again.

"So it's a shame that it's been completely damaged due to overuse and I can't fix it."

Bertila didn't blink this time, she just looked at Gawain carefully for a while before she asked expressionlessly, "Really wasn't it broken by you?" ”

“…… No. ”

Bertila: "...... Oh. ”

A stiff smile tugged at the corner of Gawain's mouth, and he said slowly: "Its damage is regrettable, but as the 'artifact' that the Society of All Things has always relied on, it may be the best destination if it is damaged after it has finished its service." You've said that it's useless to you - I'll take it as some kind of memento. ”

Bertila's expression seemed to be a little stiff, but she still nodded: "It's already yours from just now." ”

Gao Wen thought for a while, and asked seemingly casually: "Do you care very much?" ”

Bertila shook her head: "No...... That may be its fate. ”

……

At the same time, on the surface, the Margarita Knight, who was nervously waiting, suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge and incomparable canopy of the giant tree in surprise.

Countless huge leaves with light runes on the surface suddenly fell off from the branches for some reason, and a gust of wind blew, and large areas of beautiful leaves fell to the ground as if dancing.

"Why did you suddenly drop your leaves?" The female knight muttered to herself in a somewhat stunned manner.

"God knows," Pitman muttered beside him, "maybe it's too cold." ”
