Hearing Soshiyang's slightly joking words, Xingshen not far away chuckled and responded:
"Your Highness, I have also encountered such an existence. At that time, I thought it was just a member of some unknown race, and it was also very passionate about adventures and cultural relics excavations, but I have to say that they are indeed very good at languages, and even after a brief contact, they can speak some very interesting proverbs in Aida."
Soshiyang nodded.
"Archiver, why did you show up at Blackstone Fortress?"
"Because one of my kind lost in this place, I was sure it was dead, so I had to find its ship, and its Greer Intuliamiku, to recover the relics inside, but the complexity of the Black Stone Fortress was far beyond my imagination. I almost got lost in it several times and could only stop outside the Black Stone to find a solution."
Xingchao said at this time:
"Your kind of person who goes to Valzhiyou is probably coveting the legacy of our clan, right?"
"We only look for things that are unowned and never loot or steal."
"What a masterless thing, you are really good at speaking."
Soshiyang raised his hand and signaled Xingjian not to say anything, and then said slowly:
"What is your purpose to collect the relics of other races so diligently?"
"interest."
“That’s all?”
"Every life has its own goal and value. Although this goal and value are not necessarily understood by other lives. Just like you don't understand what it means to simply devour Tyron. We are out of control, but there are still many problems that bother us. Each life has different ways of solving problems. This is the method we choose."
"Yeah, I know some philosophy."
"I think you are trying to build your own culture as an independent race."
Veronica's words made the archivist's eyes slightly moved. Soshiyang blinked and nodded, and continued to listen to Veronica's words.
"Although you have been freed from the shackles of Tyron's will, you are still confused about your own existence and meaning. This is a common emotion that many 'creators' will develop after they leave their masters. You don't know how to define yourself, define yourself, or even describe yourself. Without your past, you will not be able to form a consensus that brings you together. Simply put... you are independent in your thoughts, but still belong to Tyron in your identity. You have not yet built your own racial consciousness and culture, and can only find answers and inspiration from those races that once existed in the galaxy."
Soshiyang agreed:
"rational."
The archivist responded to Veronica after a moment of silence.
"Maybe, but personally, my goal is just to be an archaeologist or a scholar. I am tired of blood staining my hands, and I don't care so much about the so-called race. The Milky Way is like a piece of rotten wood. The races inside are fungi that grow on the rotten wood. The rise and fall are nothing more than a cycle. So what if you become a race? Everyone gets together and then starts to consider who to manage who? Start considering survival, expansion, confrontation, and balance of interests? When all this will eventually return to dust, it's meaningless."
"You are also an extreme liberal and historical nihilist."
Soshiyang put his hands on his chest, turned to its side with interest, and glanced downward.
"Wait, are you guys not gendered?"
“We do not have the ability to reproduce naturally.”
"Sorry, I didn't want to..."
"It's okay, we don't have the concept of sex, so it doesn't involve insults or traditions."
Soshiyan then walked back to the front of it.
"Archiver, you probably know where this place is. As you said, the royal court has no extreme racial policies and no reason to hurt you, but... you discovered Valzhiyou, which is an important military property of the royal court and is also very confidential intelligence. If you are released, it may cause unnecessary risks. The royal court's expedition is currently only exploring the peripheral parts of Valzhiyou and establishing a stronghold of action. If external forces intervene, it may lead to a war."
The archivist also knew his current situation and did not struggle. He said very calmly:
"Then I am willing to accept your custody until you get your military heritage back. At that time, you naturally don't have to worry about me leaking information."
Soshiyang smiled slightly. It was a waste to keep this unique creature in the way.
According to the expedition, it is not only cunning, but also quite powerful, and has a spiritual power that interferes with thinking. The mechanism is a bit similar to the Tyranian nest. In addition, from its words and demeanor, Soshyan can feel that the knowledge of this creature should be very profound. In addition, its long life span is worth using royal courts, which often use foreign mercenaries.
"Archiver, I actually appreciate your free and easy survival philosophy, but unfortunately, the secret you discovered is not just Black Stone Fortress."
Soshiyan pointed at himself.
"You saw my face."
This time, the crawler's face, which was almost difficult to express any emotions, finally changed, and it showed panic visible to the naked eye.
After all, it has been in the Galaxy for so long and is very familiar with the empire. At first glance, the big guy in front of him was not Ada, and his body shape and physique were not even ordinary humans. Instead, he looked more like the powerful genetically modified warrior among humans - Astart.
But despite all kinds of speculations, it hides well because it knows that once the other party realizes this, it really has no way to survive.
No matter what this person is, a human being who is king in Aida must represent an extremely explosive news.
"I...you can clear my memory, I don't know about the human empire..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the archivist found out that he had a broken speech. The fifth time it had created a self-awareness was probably the most deadly.
Soshiyan first pointed at it, then pointed at himself.
"Empire, so, you guessed I'm related to the empire."
"I will forget! Prophet Ada has powerful psychic powers that can erase my memories. Please give me your best!"
As an extreme liberal, another characteristic of archivists is naturally extreme fear of death. They are very afraid of death, because only by living can they feel everything about it.
Soshiyang smiled and shook his head.
"This is not insurance. Generally speaking, the dead are the safest, or are you willing to stay in prison for eternity?"
"No, no, please-"
Looking at the huge four-legged creature's hands folded together, it was indeed a bit funny, but Soshiyan also felt that it was a bit pitiful and did not continue to tease it.
"So that's it, let's make a deal."
