Volume II: The Federation Prologue Sacred Relic

Commonwealth Museum of Commonwealth ......

Doctor of History and Museology and Director of the Commonwealth Museum of Artefacts. Vys was accompanying an important guest. The guest was only thirty years old, with two mustaches on his lips and a small beard on his chin, and a large leather jacket in the style of the Fortress of Liberty, with a pointed gray hat.

"Duke Sina...... What is the wind that is blowing you here? ”

"Don't call me Duke," the relatively young, gray-haired middle-aged man smiled as he looked at a dagger purportedly from the Bronze Age, "times are different, and the old-fashioned title of Duke is not suitable for a young man like me, and in my opinion, you should throw it in the garbage." “

"That ......"

"Just call me Mr. Sheiner."

"Understood, Mr. Sineer," Steven. Vis lowered his head, I don't know what he meant, the title Duke is outdated? It is rumored that Sina is the vanguard of the anti-imperial faction, is he saying this, is he insinuating that the Vallean royal family should also be abandoned with the times?

"So, Mr. Sinner, why are you here?"

"Visit the cultural relics museum of the Earth Federation and feel the charm of this earth civilization with a history of millions of years of antiquities, which can make so many children of "princes and nobles" come here to study. ”

"It's just because of Princess Ciri," said Steven. "Young people love to play this game the most," said Wittin, "and the only daughter of our great prince is not yet engaged, and that is enough." ”

"He's respectable, but not great, but it's hard not to be a daughter of his heart," said Sina. Leonner's words made Steven dare not easily echo it. Soon, he looked to the other side, "I heard that there is an artifact from 20,000 years ago here?" ”

Steven. Weiss's eyelids twitched slightly, "Yes, Mr. Sina. ”

"I've heard it's an artifact from outer space?"

"Indeed, when this thing was first discovered, more than sixty years ago, my teacher's father, who was a very famous professor of antiquities, was very surprised by the discovery of this artifact, such an incomprehensible thing is rare on earth, but we can basically be sure that it is a man-made creation, and it must be some kind of extremely primitive religious artifact. The teacher and other antiquarians used basic artifact identification methods to identify it, and it was likely to be produced hundreds of years ago, but other than that, nothing else was gained.

During this time, we searched through the historical books and studied many theological histories, but we could not find its source.

About sixty years later, three years ago, a young linguist and antiquities pointed out that we had made a mistake in identifying it, saying that it was not a creation of the earth. It turned out that it had once passed through the outer layers of Saturn, and we were curious, so we initiated a deeper study, and soon we confirmed his hypothesis that it did indeed come from outer space. We studied in detail some of the radioactive isotopes attached to the solid inner layer on its surface, and further simulated its trajectory, and finally concluded that it drifted here from the turbulence of the subspace channel 20,000 years ago, but we cannot conclude exactly when it arose and where it was produced, because it is so strong that the shell alone is helpless, let alone analyze its internal composition. ”

Duke Sina raised his eyebrows, "What about the young scholar?" ”

"Oh, that scholar is a well-known genius scholar of the Earth Federation, but he is not here at the moment, and it is said that he was invited to study the holy relics of the newly discovered planet Gaia."

Planet Gaia, that goddamn weird relic again. Duke Sina was slightly disappointed, "Can I take a look at that thing?" ”

"It's an honor."

They soon saw the thing, a statue to be exact, it knelt on the ground, two black beast wings wrapped around its body, and the long claws extending upwards formed a tight "mask" like a claw shield side by side, making it impossible to see its face at all, and behind it was a very terrifying eyeball, even now, looking directly at the eyes behind it would make people feel some kind of inexplicable palpitations. It was carefully placed in a vacuum-glazed enclosure for viewing, surrounded by a half-cracked eggshell-like object, which did look like a religious statue, as the curator said, and of course, if it was a space relic, or as hard as advertised, there was no need to be so careful.

However, Duke Sina curiously walked around the back of the vacuum glass cover, "Its eggshell has words on it?" ”

"The ....... of the Impossible to See," added the curator, "the ancient imperial script, which is said to have been used by the Fortress of Liberty 20,000 years ago, further confirms our conclusion, but in the early days, before we joined the empire as a member of it, no one recognized it, but simply thought it was some kind of religious symbol. ”

"At that time, you didn't even think that aliens existed, let alone a united civilization that could cross the stars, huh?"

Slightly embarrassed by Duke Sina's taunt, he explained dryly, "We are grateful to that young scholar for his fortunate exposure to paleographies, and for that he has pointed out decades of cognitive errors." ”

Duke Sina nodded, "It's really talented to be able to come into contact with the ancient imperial script over the years and accurately identify them," Suddenly, the communicator on his wrist rang, "Someone is looking for me," he bowed apologetically to the curator, "Professor, I'll visit here another day." ”

Duke Sineer was one of the members of the Supreme Council of the United Empire, and his power was monstrous, and Steven was just the director of a small museum, so he couldn't unilaterally accept such an apology, so he hurriedly returned the gift and sent him away from the museum.
