Russell believed Delphinium's words very much, and at the same time trusted his own judgment.

According to the delphinium, the heart of the sheath contains "purple thorns". It means that he has some kind of strong love. But this love does not point to a real individual or individual, but to something illusory.

And Russell felt from him the determination to never look back, but at the same time he had a hollow heart.

So what if all this is true?

He had in his heart a love for a certain path and a cause, which could even make him abandon his wife and children, and even his dignity and humanity. He was ready to sacrifice everything, but at the same time there was a hole in his heart that was stronger and stronger and could not be filled.

He was acutely aware that what he was doing was meaningless, but at the same time he had to do it.

He's preventing Russell from getting any closer to the truth, just as a dragon is preventing scientists from approaching the sky......

Looking at the sheath that suddenly fell silent, Russell began to slowly approach him.

He took a step forward and whispered, "The situation is clear now.

"The so-called elves are a part of the ancient people. They transform themselves into elves in order to seal specific demons with 'fate' and use them as batteries to store the power of miracles. This is a very long-term vision.

"The First Evolution"

"And the reason why other elves are transformed also comes from a kind of 'etching device for special talents'. Those who are good enough will be transformed into elves, giving them a long lifespan and a reserve of talents. This is also a very long-term 'reserve'.

"- Based on the means, the end can be reversed.

"The Named Elves are 'forerunners, caretakers, and guardians of humanity'. But in what they do, there is no care and protection at all; And in the terrestrial age, there is no disaster that needs to be guarded by the elves to avoid.

"Compared to 'the name raider has abandoned his duties', can I understand it...... Their mission, in fact, has not yet begun? ”

Hearing this, the sheath's complexion changed suddenly.

Even if he is missing both eyes, he can't see a specific face.

However, from the details of his other facial features, Russell could clearly perceive the consternation in his heart.

Russell sighed inwardly.

Because he realized that his speculation might be correct.

"The only book of history you burned is about dragons, spirit relatives, and the secrets of Year Zero. So here's the problem......

According to the Tower of Babel, the predecessor of the Cyber Church was originally born in 452. Why do they have a secret about 'Year Zero'? Why did the Tower of Babel affirm that they and the Tower of the Mages must have that kind of secret record?

"It's easy to answer, because these things weren't secret in the past...... Only what everyone has experienced will not be a secret. Because history was not yet sealed at that time, because the truth had not been forgotten.

"And what will everyone know after zero years, before 452?

—is the reason for the birth of the spiritual parent.

"Whether it is Happiness Island or other empty islands, IVF research is prohibited. To be precise, it is prohibiting artificial human research based on IVF. And I once knew an old scholar who used himself to make a large number of copies...... The peculiarity is that all individuals eventually have a spiritual relative, and the spiritual affinity is not necessarily the same as the person himself. This means that human beings will begin to become spiritually friendly after they become aware of themselves, which is an underlying mechanism that has nothing to do with genes.

"Flower Touch once told me that human beings need spiritual relatives to resist something; And the elves have lost their souls and have a solid and unchanging soul. In the beginning, I thought that spiritualization was the 'sequelae' after the healing of spiritualization, or that spiritualization was incomplete spiritualization......"

But after learning the secret of "Keys and Locks" from the malt wine, another speculation was born in Russell's mind.

Binding sheaths appear here for reasons......

"In ancient times, dragons and elves could kill. The only difference is that there were laws in the land age. It was a law made by humans, and the dragons were merely enforcers.

"I already know that the dragon is some kind of gigantic machine, a great artificial intelligence like a god. Can't kill' this should be the operating logic engraved on their bottom...... That is, 'they cannot harm humanity, nor can they stand idly by while they see humanity in danger'. Therefore, dragons do not kill people, and they do not allow elves, even high-ranking ones, to kill people. Because of this, today's Sky Island has such an outrageous principle of non-killing.

"So, let's say there's some kind of crisis – you have to kill humanity in order to save it. And how will the dragon execute? ”

Russell asked softly.

He's just speculating. But I felt the sheath suddenly surging in my heart...... Russell realized that he had really guessed correctly.

"The so-called 'spiritual kinship' is a temporary protection. His only purpose is to make humanity 'no longer human'. And elves have the racial characteristics of elves, and have the language and culture of elves, which is also different from humans. The reason for all this is that there is some kind of spiritual plague at the bottom of the human spirit...... A plague that takes effect as long as it is purely human.

"It may change the human mind, or it may turn humans into monsters or kill humans...... I don't know what it will bring, but 'spiritualization' is probably the way ancient humans used to circumvent it.

"In the past, the elves were mass-producing psionics, and their purpose was supposed to solidify the demons...... To put it simply, they are 'packing' the resources of the planet.

"The solution that a person chooses when he encounters difficulties can reveal the inner self of the person to a certain extent. When the elves are confronted with the problem of 'lack of resources', their reaction is not to open the gray dome, nor to solve or postpone the crisis through technological means, or even to promote technology at all. It's about thinking about the outrageous solution of 'reducing the population' in a unified way.

"This actually shows that they have at least heard the phrase 'reduce the population'. That's why this kind of weird decision-making will subconsciously become their means.

"The characteristic of the elves is that they live a long life while the spirit remains unchanged; The criteria for the selection of elves are usually scholars, followed by elites in various industries.

"Their essence is 'specimens of civilization'. The Raiders call themselves 'the forerunners, guardians, and guardians of humanity......

"In that case, I'm afraid there is only one answer in the end."

Russell looked at the sheath that was fixed in place like a puppet, and read the secret hidden in his heart: "What the dragon really wants is to kill all the 'spiritualized' humans, and fundamentally remove the spiritual plague that makes people no longer human." Then he left the planet with the human gene pool, the more than 10,000 'demons' on the planet, and the 'elves' of the 1/1000 total population.

"Those elves are the crew. They are able to survive on board for a very long time without fear of spiritual decay and the loss of the lineage caused by the 'middle generation' born on the ship...... They are long-lived and patient, but at the same time lack the ability to learn, curiosity across fields, and lack the ability to have children, which are clearly functional genes specially tailored for space travel. With these elves, civilization can be reorganized in an instant.

"And the 'miracle power' stored by the eighty-four Raider Elves is to be able to solve all the difficulties that may be encountered during the long space voyage and the reorganization of civilization. What they are guarding is the gene pool of human beings; What they guard is the fire of the continuation of civilization; They are the forerunners, because they are the end of the old civilization and the founder of the new civilization. They are high above humans, as if they don't care about them, because the elves know ...... All human beings are to die. They don't kill humans with their own hands, so they let the world fall into ...... destruction"

Looking at the sheath, Russell asked softly, "Now there is only one question." The dragon specifically forbade humans to study space science and technology...... So, where is the 'ship' that can ride all the elves? ”

“…… Didn't you already guess it? ”

The sheath exhaled slowly.

He closed his eyes and whispered, "The 'dragon' is the ship...... Carrying all human specimens. ”

“…… And you really killed a dragon? ”

"Yes, the mage lied to me. They didn't want us to leave. The problem is not humanity itself, but the 'core' of the planet. It is the thing that gives the human beings on this planet the potential of spiritual energy, and it is also the existence that brings us destruction. It was something sealed inside the lock that came from the depths of the dream world...... It is the eggshell that gave birth to God. We had to flee this planet, something that had only been researched and decided since 'Year 0', and the Grey Dome was established long before that. But the number of people the ship can carry is extremely limited, and even the elves can't bring all of them......"

This man, whose soul was already empty and ready to die, but empty as an empty shell, showed a decadent and desperate look when he heard this: "And in order to save the world, I destroyed one of the salvation arks with my own hands. This means that one in seven people in the world will die because of me in the future.

"Everything that the Tower of Babel has done, everything I have dedicated...... None of it makes any sense. We were wrong. There is no way to save this world...... In the end, all we can do is die.

"And all I can do is stop you."
