When Aloy hesitated, Aletheia's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Xiao's head.

"I've found what you're looking for, do you need to play it now?"

Lu Xiao's heart moved, and he said with an unmoving expression on his face: "Don't worry, wait until the matter here is over." ”

"Understand...... One more thing. ”

"The data you asked me to fix is complete, and I'll send it to your Focus."

The prompt of successfully receiving the file flashed in front of Lu Xiao's eyes, this is an audio file, which should be one of the records of Elizabeth and Gaia's exchange.

"Aloy, wait a minute."

Lu Xiao released the audio file: "Listen to this audio first, this should be the last message left by Elizabeth." ”

……

“…… Elizabeth, your story is not over yet. ”

"Huh? Uh, where did you just go? ”

"Toys."

"Oh yes, toys."

Elizabeth sighed: "I connected the wires of electronic toys to the panels of my car and the solar panels, and my lawn caught fire due to a short circuit in the components. ”

"In addition to the lawn, an old pine tree that was more than 100 years old was burned down, and I was rebuked by my neighbors and community leaders for it."

Gaia: "Question, how old were you at the time?" ”

"Six."

Elizabeth said in an emotional tone: "Fortunately, my mother was at home at the time, she called the fire brigade to put out the fire, and helped me block the reproaches of the adults. ”

"When everything calmed down, she took me to the burned yard and let me watch the young birds that had died from the pine tree catching fire."

Gaia: "Question, how did you feel at the time?" ”

Elizabeth was silent for a few seconds, as if recalling the scene: "I...... Not sure, I remember yelling 'I don't care'. ”

"My mother gently cupped my face with both hands and said something that still sticks in my mind to this day."

"She said I had to care because it was the result of my reckless behavior."

"She said, Elizabeth, if you can't make the world a better place, your intelligence far beyond your peers means nothing."

"You are to use your wisdom to do something meaningful, to serve life, not death."

Gaia was silent for a few seconds before asking again, "You often mention your mother, but you don't have children yourself, why?" ”

"Uh~"

Elizabeth paused awkwardly for a moment: "I...... I don't have time to find a partner, so maybe that's the best fit for me. ”

Gaia: "If you had a child, what would you expect from her or him?" ”

Aloy's whole body tensed when she heard this, whether she admitted it or not, she already regarded Elizabeth as her mother in her heart.

Gaia's question caught Elizabeth off guard, as she had never considered it before.

The genius scientist, who has always been articulate, hesitated for a while before giving an answer: "I think, probably I would like her (him) to ...... Curious? ”

"I hope she (he) is stubborn and can't listen to the persuasion of others, but ......"

Elizabeth chuckled, "I want her (him) to have a kind heart and use her gifts to make this world a better place, as my mother said...... Even if it's just a little bit. ”

Judging by Aloy's slightly dazed eyes, but with a glimmer of light, she seemed to have learned something from Elizabeth's words.

Elizabeth gave everything she believed in to pass on what her mother taught her as a child to her next generation...... Although she never really had children until her death.

After a long silence, Aloy's eyes became firm.

"Cyrens, you just said that you want to atone for the mistakes you made?"

Cyrens nodded, "Yes, that's why I'm telling you everything about Hades." ”

"Then listen up."

Aloy solemnly said to Cyrens, "In view of the uncertainty of your position, I will keep an eye on you at all times, and if I find out that you are planning to endanger the world, I will immediately end your life." ”

"Other than that, I won't impose any restrictions on your research, but I hope you can help me complete the revival of civilization together."

Cyrens's face moved: "Civilization revival? With Apollo already offline, just the two of us? ”

"Of course not."

Aloy shook her head: "I will use the authority given to me by Elizabeth to explore the ruins of the world, find out more remnants of ancient technology and knowledge, and use them for the people." ”

"We may not be able to revive civilization to the heights that our ancestors once achieved, but I believe that as long as this concept is passed on from generation to generation, one day, we will reproduce the glorious civilization of mankind, and even go further on this foundation."

Cyrens looked at Aloy steadily, as if intending to make sure in her eyes that she wasn't impulsive.

“…… It seems that you are serious. ”

After closing his eyes and thinking about it for a moment, Cyrens said calmly, "Although my position is not the same as yours, I am indeed interested in your idea of exploring ancient ruins. ”

"I can work with you for the time being until your use value is over."

"But be prepared."

Cylens glanced at Lu Xiao: "Just like your friend said, in my eyes, only knowledge is the most important, if you can't give me the knowledge I want, I will take the initiative to leave, don't blame me for not telling you in advance." ”

……

It remains to be seen what kind of sparks will be generated by the talented duo of Cyrens and Aloy.

The self-proclaimed scholar Cerens does not plan to participate in the war between the Kingdom of Calga and Calga the Shadow, but he promises to provide Aloy with the necessary assistance in the rear.

Seeing Cyrens ride the Angbu away, Lu Xiao opened the portal and returned directly to Meridian City.

The cold climate of Gaia's ruins contrasted sharply with the warmth of Meridian City, and as soon as he returned to the city, Aloy, who began to sweat all over his body, hurriedly took off his thick clothes.

The noisy drum noise coming from the window was very obvious, Lu Xiao didn't care to rest and pushed the window open, and the noisy sound suddenly poured in from the outside world.

A woman dressed in a red priest's garb stood on a high platform in the square and spoke aloud, and the people in the audience were a little absent-minded and did not listen to the high priest's preaching as intently as usual.

Lu Xiao had seen the young woman in Arvid's palace, she was the new High Priest of the Sun chosen by Arvid after Bahawa fled from Meridian City.

"Looks like it's not going to be good."

Lu Xiao turned his head to Yongzhen and said, "I'll go to the palace to inquire about the situation first, and you stay at home and be ready to go at any time." ”

When Lu Xiao was brought to the Sun King by the surprised Mallard, there were several people uncharacteristically around Yavid.

In addition to a few strange generals, among these people were Allende, whom Lu Xiao had known before, and a young Oseran woman with a heroic temperament and a soft appearance.

This person should be Elend's sister, Arvid's intended queen candidate, Elsa.

Yavid was also very surprised to see Lu Xiao's return, and he lined up the generals and stood up from the throne: "Lu Xiao, you came back at the right time, give me some good news." ”

Lu Xiao smiled and showed the overwritten command prop to Yavid: "Fortunately, I got the key items that can turn the situation around." ”

"King Arvid, how is the situation at the front?"

Avid smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not optimistic...... Mallard, you tell Lu Xiao the details of the battle, and I'll deal with this side first. ”

Mallard: "Yes! ”
