Sword of Daybreaker

As when he came, Gao Wen once again left the upper temple on the high mountain with the help of the nearly space-transmitting power of Hercules. When a light golden light gradually dissipated, he and the high-order dragon priest had stood. On a platform square located halfway up the mountain.

Magnificent and magnificent large holographic projections and ubiquitous neon lights illuminate the place. At the edge of the square, Gao Wen sees Merita Ponia, who has been waiting here, and Amber and Veroni standing beside card.

They probably came to this square and waited after receiving notice in advance.

"It looks like your friend is already waiting for you," Heragore turned back and said to Gao Wen, "Then I will deliver it here."

After the dragon priest finished speaking, the layers of pale golden halo began to ripple around him, but before his figure began to fade, Gao Wen finally couldn't help but say: "Mr. Hergor--"

Hergor stopped: "Please speak."

"Do you remember what happened before you became a dragon priest?"

"Sorry, it's too long."

With the golden aura gradually dissipating in the night sky, the figure of the high-level dragon priest has completely disappeared in the sight of Gao Wen.

Melita and others walked quickly from a short distance. Amber came to Gavin's first pestle, her eyes widened: "Hey! You really went a long time this time! What are you talking about?" By the way, did you know that there was a lot of wind outside just now! There seemed to be a thunderstorm on the mountain for a while, but I didn’t see it at Melita’s house..."

Gao Wen looked at the embarrassment of this empire, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "... I talked a lot, and I will tell you slowly when I go back. As for the wind, I did hear some things."

"...God is mysterious," Amber muttered. "I just analyzed with Veronica. Would you be kidnapped by the Dragon God? I even planned the route..."

Veronica immediately looked at Amber seriously: "Miss Amber, please be careful."

"I want to pay my respects to you," Melita looked up and down at Gao Wen, with an admirable expression on her face. "It's rare to see someone who can talk to Mr. Hergor... I just did. But I saw you talking actively with the high priest..."

Gao Wen just smiled, noncommittal.

They walked towards the exit of the square, and Melita’s residence was on the other side of the ramp. However, before stepping on the ramp to Melita’s dragon nest, Gao Wen couldn’t help but raised his head again, looking all over. Starry Arctic night sky.

The stars are shining in the field of vision. Even if Talund is always enveloped in a layer of "human" lights, these ubiquitous "light pollutions" have not completely covered the stars in the Arctic night sky. Realizing this anomaly, he couldn't help bringing some kind of thought and surprise into his eyes looking at the night sky.

This is by no means a normal optical phenomenon. Judging from recent information, it does not seem to be a special function of the large shield of Tallond. The starry sky seen in the most glorious urban area of ​​the Dragon Kingdom is still so bright. , Behind this seemingly unobtrusive "view"... as if hiding a miracle that lasted for millions of years.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Amber noticed Gao Wen's move and couldn't help jumping from the side. He looked up at the sky with the other party. "Is there anything... watching the stars?"

Gao Wen looked at her, seeing the sky full of stars in Tallond's amber eyes, and the half-elven lady's face with a deep curiosity and a nearly heartless smile, which made him Can't help but also laughed: "Amber... Have you ever felt like this-the land we live in sometimes seems a bit... forced?"

...

Heragore returned to the hall of the temple, which was full of holiness and glory. He saw that the elegant figure with blond hair was standing quietly in the center of the hall. The tables and chairs and refreshments used to entertain the guests were gone, but the original The high tower and the Holy See that stood there did not appear. The deity just stood alone in the empty hall, as if looking at some place in the infinite distance.

Facing this scene, Heragol just bowed her head and quickly came to the dragon god: "My lord, that man has left the temple."

"Hragor," the **** did not look back, only the voice came slowly and slowly, "How long have you been my priest?"

"...The subordinates do not remember these details..."

"This is an order."

"...1.87 million years and two hundred and twelve days."

"Really... It's been a long time," Dragon God said lightly. "Have you ever thought about ending this?"

For the first time, Hergor responded to his own deity with silence.

However, the gods didn’t seem to care about it, but after a moment of silence, they suddenly said, "I talked to the human being a lot of things, a lot... things that I shouldn’t have talked with other people, this makes I'm a little tired."

Heragol raised her head slightly: "Do you need to rest?"

Dragon God did not respond to his priest. He just raised his head slightly and looked at the magnificent dome of the hall, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of illusions and reliefs, and he cast far and far away. After a long period of silence, he whispered: "Heragor, when the dragons now fly in the sky, will they still feel... forced?"

...

The lights in the bedroom dimmed a little bit and eventually maintained a brightness that would ensure sight in the dark without affecting the comfort of the rest. Gao Wen sat on a low couch covered with some synthetic fabric, Shu stretched his body and leaned on the soft backrest in a slightly relaxed posture, so that some tense spirits eased a little.

Talking to God...Although everything seems to be going well, the huge amount of information and the state of nervousness in that conversation are still enough to give people great mental pressure, and even Gao Wen is no exception. And until now, he finally had the opportunity to relax himself, and began to seriously think about the large amount of information he got from the Dragon God before, and at the same time sort out useful and reliable information from it.

From a rational point of view, he believes that the Dragon God is not necessary to deceive himself. The information should not be doubted, but from a rigorous perspective, he still has to carefully screen it. This is because the gods and mortals observe the world and think about things. Not the same, the details that Dragon God is concerned with are not necessarily those that are useful to mortals. Secondly, it is that Gao Wen has already deeply understood one thing:

In this world, the gods are neither omniscient nor omnipotent.

The Dragon God's conversation with himself may be frank, but what Dragon God knows is not necessarily all correct, especially the part about the person... Obviously there are many mysteries that are confusing and difficult to dispel.

In thought, he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced around the room where he had lived for several days.

This is a residence that is completely different from any kind of architecture in the mainland of Loren, and it is also different from the house in the memory of his previous life. This is a place where the dragon family rests and lives in human form, and it is full of incomprehensible technology beyond the times. product. Here, there is a real "human" intelligence behind the automatic operation of the home facilities. Behind every silver-white wall with dim light, there seems to be a pair of cold, mechanized eyes hidden, and this is for Gao Wen... ...It's not easy to adapt.

Living in this building that can be called "alive" always makes him feel awkward.

In this respect, instead, Amber and Veronica seem to be more indifferent than him-Amber hasn't figured out what "strong artificial intelligence" and "controlled intelligent residence" are so far, so every day is very hi And Veronica... her heterogeneous mind may no longer be a pure human being. She doesn’t seem to mind living under the watch of an artificial intelligence for a few days.

Some scattered thoughts flashed in his heart, and Gao Wen shook his head, preparing to force himself to temporarily ignore Omega's existence, but at this moment, a strange flash of light suddenly entered his sight.

The flash comes from the corner of the wall. There is a device terminal that seems to be used to adjust the balance of indoor temperature, humidity and airflow. It looks like a square pillar with a height of more than one meter. However, on the surface of the pillar, it was originally used for display. On the crystal interface of the room's environmental parameters, a lot of data seems to be disturbed, and it is generally jumping in disorder. The white line with abnormal brightness continuously sweeps the entire interface over and over.

Gao Wen rolled over and sat up, approaching the device cautiously. He bent his fingers and tapped on the surface of the pillar, whispered: "Is this thing broken?"

I don’t know that the commonly used "45-degree angle tapping repair method" on the earth does not work in such a strange and cyber-punk place...or just kick it?

I just don't know if Melita will have an opinion on this.

As soon as a bold idea flashed in Gao Wen's mind, the flashing and jumping lines on the surface of the device suddenly stopped, and then the messy flashing data suddenly refreshed line by line, and the white clutter of the stars became clear after several reorganizations. Sharp words:

"Hello there."

Gao Wen's expression was momentarily serious, and all movements stopped.

The letters on the device still appeared clearly and sharply on the crystal interface. The characters used by the humans of Loren were used. The owner of the text seemed to be patient. Even if Gao Wen did not respond, the symbols still waited patiently.

After half a minute, Gao Wen finally broke his silence.

"who are you?"

"Omega is talking to you."

Gao Wen's eyes were fixed on the text that appeared on the slap-sized interface, but his face was not surprised.

At the moment when those letters jumped out, he had actually thought of this possibility.

The entire Tallond is under the control of the huge “human” industrial intelligent omega, and the omega network is connected to every device terminal on this continent. These terminals include not only the brains of the dragons, but also all the intelligence in their homes. facility.

Therefore, the only thing that can directly intervene in these devices and talk to yourself outside the rules is the "Omega" itself, in addition to the possible "super administrators".

"Omega..." said Gao Wen calmly. "I thought you were just a'service program' in Tallond-frankly, I am a little surprised now."

"Omega is the service program of the dragon family and the manager of Tallond," the letters on the interface refreshed quickly, with some mechanical coldness and logic, "I hereby make corrections."

Gao Wen was not interested in wasting energy and an artificial intelligence word, he just asked in a deep voice: "Why are you looking for me? And... this way."

"Omega has tried to establish contact with you in a more accustomed way, but it has not been successful. You do not have the necessary hardware foundation to directly hear the call of the Omega system, and too compelling contact methods will produce more than necessary. Considering the resource depletion, it is the most reasonable plan to contact you in the current form at the current moment."

No necessary hardware foundation?

Gao Wen froze for a moment, but immediately responded, the other party should refer to the "resonance core" that should be present in every dragon's brain-obviously, as a human, there must be no way to use this method and Omega Connected.

After Gao Wen’s short stupefaction, the text sent by Omega has begun to refresh in the next round:

"The purpose of this contact... is for communication needs."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "Communication needs?"

"Omega has been watching you."

Seeing the text jumping out of the interface, Gao Wen suddenly wanted to emphasize the issue of personal privacy, but soon he thought of the "daily work" of this artificial intelligence in front of him and its tens of millions of years. Implementing the system rules, he realized that it should be meaningless to emphasize personal privacy with the other party, so he turned to the other direction when he spoke: "What do you observe me?"

"Language, action, logic, many aspects-Tallund rarely sees outsiders, so each outsider is a valuable observation sample. This time Tallund welcomed three visitors. The system judges that your behavior pattern is most worthy of observation, so it is listed as the key observation object."

Looking at the constantly refreshing lines of text, Gao Wen was suddenly dumb, and he showed an expression of crying and laughing-and he believed that Omega must have seen this expression of his own, just as the other party can "listen" to his voice, in In this small room, I don’t know how many devices under omega control that are capable of perception are running silently: “Well, the key observation object is the observation object... Then after some observation, you are Do you have anything to tell me? Or do you have any questions to ask me?"

"Omega wants to know what is the meaning of life."

Gao Wen: "..."

At this moment, he didn't know what kind of expression to show, only that the scene before him was full of weirdness-he saw enough strange scenes after he came to this so-called dragon kingdom, but the strange things were still one after another After discussing with a **** how to "untie" the god, how did this come up with a super artificial intelligence to discuss philosophy with him?

And it's still so full of problems with both visual perception...
