Located beneath Sunset Keep, this relic is where Project Zero Dawn began, but it is not where Elizabeth's research team ends up.

All the way to Elizabeth Sobek's office, Lu Xiao and the three of them only found some records that recorded the communication between Elizabeth and Gaia.

As can be seen from these audio recordings, Gaia gradually began to have feelings during the process of learning.

She likes to read human poetry, watch operas, and see beautiful landscapes, and apart from the absence of a human body, Gaia's emotions gradually grow to be indistinguishable from humans.

"Speaking of which."

Yongzhen suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Xiao with some doubts: "On the way to Meridian City with Aloy, we once found some metal structures that looked like large flowers. ”

"These constructs don't have any other purpose, and they seem to have been made only for the sake of viewing, isn't ......?"

Lu Xiao nodded with a deep sigh: "Maybe it's made by Gaia." ”

"After the demise of humanity, Gaia is the last intelligent being on Earth."

"For hundreds of years, Gaia, who has emotions, will definitely feel lonely and lonely, and perhaps these metal flowers are a kind of sustenance for her to relieve her mood."

Lu Xiao's conversation with Elizabeth and Gaia was just a casual reading, but Aloy was very serious about saving all of Elizabeth's voices in her Focus.

After reading Gaia's last words, Aloy has understood her origins.

In the face of a desperate situation, Gaia chose to clone Elizabeth's genetic factors, and it is difficult to say whether there is any selfishness in Gaia.

Genetically, Aloy and Elizabeth are almost the same person, but emotionally and ethically, it's not an exaggeration to say that Aloy is Elizabeth's daughter.

Aloy, who had long been longing for family affection since childhood, collected as much information as she could about Elizabeth, even if it was only a transcript without audio.

"Boom!"

The sudden violent shaking overhead forced the three of them to lower their center of gravity, and the stalagmites hanging upside down on the ceiling broke and fell in large numbers in the tremors.

"Boom, boom!"

beckoning Yongzhen and Aloy to hide under the console for a while, Lu Xiao turned on his eagle vision to scan the ground.

The Shadow Kargar Soldier who had been standing above them was long gone, and Eagle Vision could not catch any life fluctuations.

The shaking did not stop, but intensified over time.

"Not good."

After a little thought, Lu Xiao guessed what might be happening above.

"Siris intends for his army of machines to blow up this ruin and bury us all alive inside."

"What?!"

Aloy retorted incomprehensibly, "How so? It's illogical! ”

"The little prince and queen have been rescued, shouldn't Siris be captured alive and we should ask them about their whereabouts? There is no reason to kill without hesitation! ”

Lu Xiao's eyes flickered: "This shows that in the eyes of Siris, the little prince and queen are useless, he probably thinks that he has gained enough strength to complete his ideals." ”

……

"Siris! What are you doing! ”

Bahawa led thousands of Shadow Kargar's soldiers to stand in front of the palace gate, angrily questioning Siris under the palace walls.

"I told you you were going to catch it alive! The whereabouts of the Queen and Her Majesty must be tortured from the mouths of the invaders! ”

Dressed in full armor, Siris looked up at the angry Bahava, a strange smile on his lips.

"Are you teaching me to do things? Bahawa. ”

Siris's attitude alerted Bahava, and his left hand behind his back quietly made a gesture, and the heart that received his signal immediately began to act.

A large number of Shadow Calgar soldiers poked out from the palace walls, their bows and arrows aimed at Cialis below.

Bahava emphasized with a gloomy expression: "Siris, find out your identity. ”

"I am an auxiliary minister with carte blanche from the Sun King, and you, as the military commander, are under my jurisdiction."

"Heh~ yes."

Faced with the threat of weapons on the city walls, Siris smiled disapprovingly and slowly retreated into his mechanical army position.

"I'm not interested in your machinations, and since Itamon and the Queen are no longer in your hands, that's the end of your use."

"Fire!" X2

Both sides shouted orders to attack almost simultaneously.

A scuffle began near the outer walls of the palace, and with the strong defensive firepower provided by Osselan, Bahawa's troops were able to hold on to the walls for the time being.

But the destructive power of the machine army was far greater than Bahawa had imagined, not to mention the lightning hawk and storm bird that swooped down from the sky, and the two massive war machines alone posed a great threat to the fortified walls.

The two Deathbringers were equipped with an endless array of weapons, and when they were in full swing, they frantically destroyed the integrity of the walls like two moving fortresses covered in thorns.

Now that his face has been completely torn, Siris does not intend to hide in front of Bahawa.

In just a few minutes, the walls of the palace lost their defensive effect, and the condescending superiority of Bahawa's troops was gone, completely exposed to the firepower of the mechanical army.

Seeing Bahawa panicked and trying to flee under the protection of his guards, Siris smiled cruelly: "Goodbye, High Priest Bahawa." ”

"Woohoo!"

Stormbirds spewed thunderbolts that lit up the walls, and the smell of burnt was wafting in the wind, leaving only a few humanoid char bodies in the direction of Bahawa's escape.

After getting rid of Bahava, Siris refocused on his feet.

"Keep attacking, destroy the ruins below, and show the world our power with this victory!"

……

"Ahem!"

Meridian City, scheduled rendezvous.

Aloy was the first to burst out of the portal, and when she breathed fresh air again, she couldn't wait to cough up the smoke that had been inhaled into her trachea.

Lu Xiao and Yongzhen also walked out of the portal after them, and a large amount of dust continued to pour out from the other end of the gate.

It wasn't until Lu Xiao closed the portal with his backhand that the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The meeting point chosen by Arvid was by the small lake behind the palace, and when the three of them returned from Sunset Castle, Yavid himself waited at the beautiful lake.

Bending down to help the three people who were staggering to their feet, Yavid didn't care to express his gratitude for the rescue of his family, and asked Lu Xiao about the situation with a solemn expression: "What happened?" ”

Lu Xiao patted the dust on his body, shook his head and said, "Sirius has obtained a large army of machines, which has been completely expanded, and it is expected that he will launch an attack on the territory of the Sun Kingdom in the near future, no later than 1 month." ”

Yavid clenched his fists, and then let go of his strength with some dejection: "Although a large number of troops have been arranged at the border junction between the Kingdom of Calga and the traitors, it is ...... in the face of hordes of war machines"

Lu Xiao sighed and said, "Let's buy time as much as possible, we have obtained important information from the ruins below Sunset Castle, and we will go to the last ruin to get a targeted killer weapon." ”

"As long as you can get rid of the black hands that control everything behind the mechanical army, Siris is just a lone wolf who has lost all his allies."
