Chapter 2839 Naturalist
Hearing Suoshiyang’s slightly teasing words, Star Calamity not far away chuckled and responded:
“Your Highness, I have also encountered a Such a being, at the time I thought it was just a member of an unknown race. It was also very keen on exploration and excavation of cultural relics, but I have to say that they are indeed very good at languages and were even able to speak in Ada after a brief contact. Come up with some very interesting proverbs.”
Soshyan nodded.
“Archivelist, why did you appear at Blackstone Fortress?”
"Because one of my kind was lost in this place, I am convinced that it is dead, so I need to find its spaceship and its Grell Inturia vault and recover the relics inside, but the complexity of Blackstone Fortress Far beyond my imagination, I almost got lost in it several times and could only stop outside the black stone to look for a way."
Star Calamity said at this time:
"That one of your kind ran away. I'm afraid Val's Blessing also covets the heritage of our clan, right?"
"We only look for things that are without owners, and never rob or steal them."
"What an ownerless thing. , you are really eloquent.”
Soshiyang raised his hand to signal Star Calamity to stop talking, and then said slowly:
"Why do you collect relics of other races so diligently?"
"Interest."< br>
“That’s it?”
“Every life has its own goal and value, although other lives may not understand this goal and value, just like you don’t understand Tyron. What’s the point of simply swallowing? We are out of control, but there are still many problems that bother us. Each life has a different way of solving problems, and this is the method we choose.”
"Oh, you can also do some philosophy."
"I think that by doing this, you are trying to build your own culture as an independent race."
Veronica's words, The archivist's eyes moved slightly, Soshyan blinked, nodded, and continued to listen to Veronica.
“Although you have escaped the shackles of Tyran’s will, you are still confused about your own existence and significance. This is a common emotion that many ‘creatures’ will have after being separated from their masters. You don’t know what to do. Define yourself, define yourself, or even describe yourself. You have no past, so you cannot form a consensus that brings you together. To put it simply, you are independent in thought, but you are still affiliated with Tyran in terms of identity. You have not yet constructed yourself. The racial consciousness and culture can only find answers and inspiration from those races that once existed in the galaxy."
Soshyan agreed:
"That makes sense."
The archivist responded to Veronica after a moment of silence.
“Perhaps, but personally, my goal is just to be an archaeologist and a scholar. I am tired of staining my hands with blood, and I don’t care so much about the so-called race. The Milky Way is like a piece of rotten wood. Races are like fungi that grow on dead wood. The rise and fall are nothing more than cycles. What if we all get together and start thinking about who will manage whom? When all this happens? When it finally returns to dust, it will all be meaningless.”
“You are still an extreme liberal and historical nihilist.”
Soshiyang crossed his arms, forgive me. He turned to its side with interest and glanced downward.
"Wait, are you genderless?"
"We don't have the ability to reproduce naturally."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to"
"It doesn't matter, we There's no concept of sex, so there's no insult or tradition involved." Soshyan then walked back to it.
"Archivelist, you must know where this place is. As you said, the Royal Court has no extreme racial policies and has no reason to hurt you. But... you discovered the Blessing of Vaal. This thing belongs to the Royal Court. Important military property and very confidential information. If you are released, it may cause unnecessary risks. The Royal Court's expedition team is currently only exploring the outer parts of Vaal's Blessing and establishing operational bases. If external forces intervene, It may lead to a war."
The archivist also knew his current situation and did not make any struggle. He said very calmly:
"Then I am willing to accept your care until then. You get your military heritage back, and then you won't have to worry about me leaking information."
Soshiyang smiled slightly, it is really a waste to keep such a unique creature like this.
According to the expedition team, it is not only cunning, but also quite powerful. It also has a psychic power that interferes with thinking. The mechanism is somewhat similar to the Tyranid Hive. In addition, it can be seen from its speech and behavior. Shi Yang could feel that the knowledge of this creature should be very profound, and with its long lifespan, it was a worthy target for the Royal Court, which often used foreign mercenaries.
"Archivelist, I actually quite appreciate your free and easy philosophy of survival, but unfortunately, the secrets you discovered are not just Blackstone Fortress."
Soshiyang pointed at himself.
“You saw my face.”
This time, the reptile’s face, which could hardly show any emotion, finally changed, and it showed panic visible to the naked eye.
After all, it has been in the galaxy for so long and knows the empire very well. The big guy in front of it can be seen at first glance that it is not Ada, and its body shape is not even that of an ordinary human. More like the powerful genetically modified warriors among humans - the Astartes.
But despite all the speculations, it hid it well because it knew that once the other party realized this, it would really have no way out.
No matter what the identity of this person is, a human being who is king among Ada must represent extremely exciting news.
"I, I. You can clear my memory, I don't understand the human empire either."
As soon as he finished speaking, the archivist realized that he had made a mistake, and it gave birth to the first self-awareness. Five gaffes, and probably the most fatal one.
Soshyan pointed first at it and then at himself.
"Empire, so you guessed that I am related to the Empire."
"I will forget it! Prophet Ada has powerful psychic powers and can erase my memory. Please be noble!"< br>
As an extreme liberal, another characteristic of the Archivist is naturally his extreme fear of death. He is very afraid of death, because only by living can he feel everything about him.
Soshyan smiled and shook his head.
"This is not safe. Generally speaking, the dead are the safest. Or are you willing to stay in prison for eternity?"
"No, no, please -"
Looking at a huge four-legged creature with its hands clasped together in a very humble manner, it is indeed a bit funny, but Soshyan also feels that it is indeed a bit pitiful, no Keep teasing it.
"Let's do this, let's make a deal."
"Hmm? Your Highness, what kind of transaction do you want to make? Or do you want to get some relics from me? But I collected Mainly cultural heritage, I’m afraid nothing has military or technological value.”
In addition, half-dragon or dragon is actually an inaccurate translation, because the original English name of this thing is Zoats, which is The medieval dragon lizard, the medieval dragon lizard designed by gw is earlier than 40k, so normally it is better to call it a dragon lizard
