Sword of Daybreaker

The

What is the meaning of life.

The bright white word is still quietly displayed on the crystal interface. Omega seems to be waiting patiently for Gawain’s answer, and Gawain… for a while, I don’t know where to answer it.

This question is very classic, but it is too broad, especially in this situation, when facing a “human” industrial intelligence that he knows nothing about, he does not know how to answer it. Perhaps a eloquent and sharp-spoken philosopher can eloquently publish a large opinion here, but unfortunately Gawain is not such a philosopher, so after more than ten seconds of thinking, he just hook the head: “I don’t know where to go Answer your question.”

“…Interesting, system records show that the same or similar answers as you have appeared four times.”

Gawain froze for a moment, and immediately reacted: “Did you ask someone else to ask this question?”

“There are very few outsiders in Tallond-that means outsiders will still appear,” the text on the interface begins to refresh, “maybe hundreds of years apart, maybe tens of thousands of years, whenever they appear With the new observation target, Omega will ask them a similar question-the observation target’s reaction in front of the question is also very meaningful.”

Gawain suddenly found it interesting, and Unable to Bear asked: “Who gave you the advice to do this? Has anyone given you instructions to observe and ask questions?”

The text on the “No.” interface is immediately replied.

“So this observation is your own…’interest’?” Gawain feels more and more interesting. “Why are you doing this? To satisfy your curiosity? Do you have curiosity?”

“… out of the necessity of collecting data,” I wonder if it is an illusion, the letters that are constantly appearing on the interface seem to have a momentary delay, but soon lines of text begin to refresh, “Expand the database and It is Omega’s responsibility to grow itself and become a better server.”

Gawain looked at the text that appeared on the interface, looked thoughtful for a while, and then casually said: “Look, for you, expanding the database, self-growth, and becoming a better server, this is your life. Meaning.”

“…It’s difficult to understand that Omega has no life, Omega is a service system, so Omega has no’life meaning’,” those words began to refresh again, “Are you shifting the topic or avoiding answering? Is this question too difficult for you?”

Gawain was a bit dumb for a while. In fact, he didn’t take this conversation seriously until a second ago-this unexpected unexpected contact made people lack realism, and the communication through the text interface made him kind of ” The illusion of doing a quiz game across the barrier, and until now, he only felt that this so-called “omega” system is seriously communicating with himself, and seriously… “consulting” himself.

He did not speak for a while.

What does this “human” industrial intelligence want to do? Why did it suddenly find itself? Just for the need of “observation” and “gathering information” mentioned by it? It chose to come to the door after talking with Dragon God alone. Is there anything special at this time? Is this really the communication it initiated, or is there actually another commander behind it?

For a time, various speculations came to mind and stirred Gawain’s thoughts. When he temporarily suppressed these problems, he found that the text on the interface remained.

Should I seriously answer this unfathomable mystery “human” worker who suddenly came to my door?

After a short hesitation, Gawain really did not analyze the probability of any conspiracy traps behind this matter, and only then began to say: “I can only talk about my own ideas-you can just use it as a reference.

“Your question, I think it should be considered from both the individual and the group-if you say “life” refers to lifeform, then it is divided into individuals and groups, at least on this planet That’s it. For a single lifeform, it may have many meanings, it may be for reproduction, it may be for survival, if it has higher intelligence and pursuit, then it may be for acquiring knowledge, in pursuit of truth, for better Enjoyment, or to survive for dreams and self-worth…this is the’meaning’ for the living individual.

“But if it refers to the group and the big concept of “life”… then I think that it is the existence meaning of “life” that allows me to continue.”

The text on this interface did not start refreshing immediately at this time, so that Gawain was unable to bear after waiting for two seconds and asked again: “Omega, are you still listening?”

“Omega is listening,” Omega’s message has finally been refreshed, and lines of text have begun to scroll up. “Interesting answer, sounds like a deliberate result. Is this the answer to’human’?”

“This is just my own answer,” Gawain said immediately. “As I said earlier, life is divided into individuals and wholes. On this kind of question, there is no unified and accepted answer to the human whole. So I can only talk about my opinion that’s all. And to be honest, your question itself is very general, the definition of life, the definition of existence, the definition of meaning… these are not quantifiable concepts, so I said Now, my answer is for reference only.”

“Omega understands that your answer serves as a “reference”… it is instructive. It will be included in the database and will be used for…”

The refreshed text on the interface suddenly stopped, and then the surface of the shimmering crystal panel shuddered a few times. The original interface used to display data such as temperature and airflow appeared again in front of Gawain.

How come this suddenly ran away?

Gawain didn’t respond for a while, and just wanted to ask Omega what kind of gadgets it plans to use these data for, but then he felt a certain breath not far behind him, and his expression stiffened instantly.

He stood up (because the device was only one meter tall, and Gawain was more than two meters tall), turning his head a little awkwardly, and saw Melitta standing at the door, looking at himself with a stunned expression on his face .

“I…” Melitta opened her mouth, as if sorting out the language, and then said weirdly, “I just saw that the door was not closed, and I heard who you were talking to, just…”

Gawain’s mouth twitched slightly: “So what did you see?”

“I saw you talking to the air conditioner (note) in my home,” Melitta obediently and honestly replied, “and also thought deeply…” (note: free translation)

Gawain: “…”

“That’s it, Omega appeared suddenly,” Gawain decided to tell the truth after a moment of embarrassment, “It seems a little curious about me as an’outsider’, so we exchanged a little thing-you know, I don’t have you That kind of resonance core, so it will be more… strange to communicate.”

Blinking, Melitta seemed to immediately accept the statement, and it also showed a sudden look: “Oh-this is the case. I said, you should seem to be a serious person…” p>

Gawain: “…”

What else can he say? It’s enough for one person in this world to study “Gawain Cecil Sacred Sao” all day long… Melitta can maintain this recognition now is quite good.

After this, Melitta is still standing at the door, looking not at all meaning leaving. Her gaze fell on Gawain, and she seemed to be a little speechless during the few trips.

“Are you looking for something to do with me?” Gawain finally reacted at this time. Melitta at this time suddenly passed by his room should not be accidental, so he asked.

Melitta thought about it, nodded: “In fact, it’s just a little curious…After all, you talked with our gods for a long time today, and in my memory, no mortal has ever experienced similar things…”

Gawain smiled and pointed to the side: “Would you like to come in and talk?”

Melitta did not refuse. She walked into the house and sat skillfully on a chair next to the bar next to the wall. She beckoned to the side and a drink flew from the shelf not far away. Coming to her hand, she picked up the cup and shook Gawain lightly: “Want to have a cup? Although it may not be more than a god’s hospitality.”

Gawain came to sit next to Melitta and at the same time refused the other party’s good intentions: “No need, I’m…not thirsty.”

He is not too polite. After all, he drank too much “Coke” at the Dragon God not long ago. When he came back, he felt that his lungs were almost floating. He now really doesn’t want to drink anything…

Melitta doesn’t care: “Well, then I will enjoy it alone.”

Gawain glanced at her: “You want to know what I talked to with your gods? Are you sure you want to inquire?”

The movement of Melitta holding up the cup suddenly stiffened, and there was a trace of tension in the naked eye on her face. Obviously she quickly thought of some bad experience, so she quickly shook her head: “It doesn’t mean that…I just I’m curious about what you talked about, probably, it doesn’t involve any specific information…ah, in fact, my curiosity is not so strong…”

“I understand I understand,” Gawain laughed suddenly as unable to bear. “I’m already understood. As a member of Dragon Race, there are some things that you really can’t discuss with outsiders, not just Divine Punishment or’enterprise The problem of regulation… rest assured, I already have a sense of size and will not touch that layer of “lock”.”

Melitta’s movements were still again, but this time it was due to surprise.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at Gawain for a long time before showing a slightly complicated expression: “You… It seems that you really talked to our gods about a lot of amazing things. You even have this Both are understood.”

Gawain nodded: “We talked about some of Tallond’s history, what happened to this planet Ancient Era, and topics in the field of faith and deities.”

Melitta seems to be in a state of confusion. She thought for a long time before being able to bear to ask curiously: “Why do our gods talk to you about this?”

“…I’m not even sure about me,” Gawain said frankly. “Maybe… even he is just looking for some answers.”

“Looking for an answer?” Melitta seemed more at a loss, “Are there even times when the gods will be confused?”

“People will be confused, so God will also be confused,” Gawain laughed. Then he looked at Melitta and suddenly asked curiously, “Do you believe in the’Dragon God’ sincerely?”

Melitta opened her mouth, but hesitated for a moment. If it is in front of Priest or the speakers, this should be a question that requires an affirmative answer immediately. However, in the face of the “outsider” Gawain, she finally gave an answer that may not be so “pious”: “I am very …Awe of him, but I don’t know if it’s pious.”

“Awe is part of piety, but piety requires more than awe, I understand your answer,” Gawain ordered nodded, and then asked, “What about your friend Noretta? She is a piety Believer? Is there any other upper Dragon Race?”

“This…I’m not very good at evaluating others,” Melitta hesitated, but after a little tangle of two seconds, she seemed to think that her friend should still sell, “Noretta should be similar to me. At least I see Come, the Dragon Races in the upper Tallond are more in awe of our gods-of course, I mean we are very respectful of the Dragon God, but we are a little afraid of the big Priest of the temple. You You know, the place like the shrine always makes me a little nervous…”

Melitta shrank her neck as she said that she seemed to feel that she was doing something very disrespectful, and then it seemed to distract her from the topic that made her particularly awkward. She said again: “But in the lower level Talund If it seems, there are a lot of dragons that are extremely pious… they will even use more than half of the synergists that are distributed for free every month on the pious ceremony.”

Gawain revealed an expression of looking thoughtful.

The upper Dragon Race has a lot of awe for the Dragon God, but the lower Dragon Race is closer to the unconditional devotee… This is because the only value of the lower Dragon Race in this society is to provide support for the Dragon God, and the upper Dragon Race is more or less Need to do something practical? Or maybe there is some deeper arrangement behind this situation…Is this the Dragon God’s acquiescence, or is it the secret tacit understanding of the upper Tarrond?

“What are you thinking?”

Melitta’s voice awakened Gawain from his thoughts. The latter sobered up and smiled at the head: “It’s nothing. I just suddenly felt that your “synergist” was an incredible and easy-to-use thing. Is it used in religious ceremony?”

“Synergists are a collective name for a series of biochemicals. Some of them can be matched with our implant technology and have a variety of functions,” Melitta said immediately with a sense of pride. “Some The potentiator can strengthen the nerve response and the body’s recovery ability, and some potentiators are used to concentrate one’s mind and strengthen the extraordinary perception. The one used for religious ceremony is usually the’soul’ potentiator, which consumes almost Almost a hundred times the upper zone. That thing is actually a low-efficiency hallucinogen, but the effect is not so strong…”

Listening to Melitta’s exciting explanation, Gawain suddenly had a face and a promise almost forgotten by him, so he quickly interrupted the Great Dragon Young Lady in front of him: “Yes Melitta, I want to ask you something…”

„Ah?” Melitta startled, then quickly nodded, “Of course, if I can do it.”

“That’s it, I have… a friend,” Gawain hesitated, thinking hard about how to organize the next language to make it less weird, “He wants me to be in Tallon Ask me if you have some kind of technology that can help… hair growth…such as synergists and so on.”

Gawain finished, Melitta immediately looked him up and down with a weird expression: “But you don’t look…”

Gawain’s mouth suddenly shook: “I really have such a friend!”

“This friend you said is not you?” Melitta seemed a little surprised, and finally reacted, “Ah, sorry, I’m rude, I don’t mean this…”
