"With all due respect, I don't quite understand what you said. I think it's best for everyone to start by introducing themselves. šII am Gordon Freeman, a mage who accidentally came to this floating city." "I already know this from the message sent by 'it'. I also know that your companion is in bad condition now and needs to be treated as soon as possible." Gordon nodded helplessly. "Then you need my help even more. And I also need your help." Atlas said. Through this conversation, Gordon felt more and more that this Atlas was definitely more than just a conscious mind, a dull copy of the memory and thoughts of the great arcanist Hetras. It seems to have its own ideas and plans. Atlas seemed to have seen through Gordon's thoughts, and said slowly in a hollow voice made of trembling energy: "As you may think, I am not an ordinary conscious mind" "I knew it was like this," Gordon thought to himself. Because the spell of creating consciousness and intelligence sounds very cool. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not that big to spend a lot of effort to copy such a "database" that is exactly the same as the original owner's memory personality. effect. It does not have any combat effectiveness, nor is it a clone that can share the work of its original owner. Generally speaking, the field where "consciousness and intelligence" is most used in Nesedulan Magic Empire is high-end education. However, judging from the fact that this floating city has been drifting in different spaces for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it is obvious that this function is not needed. Atlas glanced at Gordon and sighed in a "humane" way. Said: "Well, since I need your help. And you are the only one who can provide me with help, then I should also show a little sincerity. Tell you the truth." The truth said by Atlas is indeed true Gordon was surprised. The original owner of the floating city, Hetras Osht, was actually killed by the artificial intelligence of the floating city. However, the artificial intelligence of the floating city is a special fey creature created by the Grand Arcanist. It is restrained by absolute power and cannot betray its master. How could Hetras Oshter be killed by his own servant in such a state of absolute control? Theoretically speaking, this is absolutely impossible. Theoretically speaking. ????????????????? But. The existing magical knowledge and theories are only based on known discoveries. Just like science, new discoveries overturn old theories and create new ones. There is a theory that is commonly recognized by the Arcanists from the Third Era to the Fourth Era, from Neisser's arcane masters to today's mages: the soul contract signed based on the power of order in the multiverse cannot be violated. Hetras Oshter's body was broken. In order to avoid the catastrophe that caused the collapse of the entire Netherdulan Magical Empire at the end of the Third Era, Osht drove his floating city to escape into the void. Then, when he was traveling between the main material world and the endless abyss. Suddenly I encountered a creature. That kind of creature is the complete opposite of order, stability, creation, etc. It is a terrifying existence that can plunge everything into chaos and destruction. This creature is very mysterious, not only does it have no specific form. Even the top great arcanist of the Neisse Empire like Hytras found it difficult to observe it. This creature successfully invaded the floating city and infected the artificial intelligence of the floating city. The evil and chaotic special power it possesses. The artificial intelligence was freed from the control of its contract with Hytras and harbored evil thoughts towards its master. The evil thoughts of artificial intelligence are very primitive and pure. Almost instinctive. It wants to kill Hytras, not for power. It's not for power, let alone to capture this floating city. The very act of killing Hetras was its purpose. Hitras noticed the changes in artificial intelligence and took timely measures. He divided the artificial intelligence into two parts. The part that was still intact and not infected by the evil creature became the "big guy", while the other part became the "little guy". But because both the big guy and the little guy are closely related to the entire floating city, if something goes wrong with either of them, it is very likely that the entire floating city will suffer mishaps. At that time, this floating city happened to be involved in the energy storm set off by the eternal orb "Mifanie Ottoton". There was no room for any mistakes, so Hetras decided to maintain the status quo first and solve the immediate problem. Let¡¯s deal with that mysterious unknown creature again. Like so many dramatic stories, the accident happened just as soon as Hetras delayed for just a moment. The "little guy" who was firmly sealed by the great arcanist broke through the shackles at some point and launched a sneak attack on his former master, seriously injuring him. But Heitras was not a mediocre person after all. Before he died, he not only injured the "little guy", but also used his last breath to create "Atlas", a conscious mind with subjective initiative. . "But," Gordon was still puzzled after hearing what Hetras said, "the facts I heard from the big guy are very different from what you said. Did you lie to it? But it stands to reason Say, the 'big guy' is still on your side, and you are still its master. There is no need to lie to a servant who is absolutely obedient to you. "Maybe there is a split personality in the floating city's artificial intelligence, but it is the reason for all this. The reason was not the so-called hesitation after the death of the master, but because of an evil and mysterious creature encountered in a different space. Atlas said: "I don't need to deceive the big guy, but I need to deceive the little guy." Before Atlas died, he wounded the little guy who was possessed by the evil creature. This was not a "hit" in the traditional sense. hurt". Because that mysterious creature has no body at all - whether it is a body made of matter or a body made of energy. So he used another very special attack method - modifying the memory to completely erase the existence of the evil creature from the "little guy's" memory. Therefore, there are those memories and the crazy behavior of the "little guy" who desperately wants to restore Hetras. However, when the power of the spell eventually disappears, the evil creature will wake up from the seal of memory sooner or later. If measures are not taken as soon as possible, not only this floating city, but also the entire endless abyss and the entire main material world will be in danger.
