Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"So that's how it is..." Li Ke waved his hand, indicating that he already understood.

The fact that the Pope is actually a robot is not so strange when you think about it.

After all, K once said to himself that Rutland is the last guarantee of this world, and it must be in the hands of trustworthy people. In this case, what can be more reassuring than a machine?

At least compared with humans, the probability of problems with robots will be lower. If humans are the rulers of Lateran, if any pope has an idea that he shouldn't have, then everything will be over.

"Also, can you speak in a different tone? I always feel a little weird like this."

The words that came out of the mouth of this kind-hearted old man were mechanical, which made Li Ke feel very uncomfortable.

Li Ke can be sure that at least the pope would not behave like this when facing ordinary people in Lateran, otherwise people would have already seen his flaws, how could he have sat safely in the position of pope for so many years ?

"AI loaded."

Sure enough, as Li Ke finished speaking, a kind smile appeared on the Pope's face. He bowed slightly and said, "My salute, sir."

Sure enough, it felt much easier this way, and Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter with the scepter in your hand? It should be more than just an ornament, right?" After thinking for a while, Li Ke asked a question that he was more concerned about now.

After loading the AI, the pope's performance became countless times more vivid. If he hadn't known it in advance, I'm afraid no one would have guessed that he was a robot. The rod is the highest guarantee of Lateran force."

"You should know that the only star that can be seen in the night sky is the only surviving space-based weapon satellite in outer space orbit, and the sky scepter in my hand is the secret key to activate this weapon. "

"...?"

At that moment, Li Ke thought he had heard it wrong, but when he thought about it countless times, what the Pope said just now were clearly engraved in his mind.

The only star in the sky is a space-based weapon, and this scepter is the key to activate it.

He didn't know how to complain for a while, and after a long time, he whispered a word, "Grass..."

Li Ke thought for a while, and then asked, "So, can I use this space-based weapon?"

"Of course," the Pope replied with a smile, "as long as the target meets the requirements, you have the authority to use the Sky Rod at any time."

"...What are the conditions?"

"The target is polluted by ultra-high source stones, or the will of the source stones shows signs of recovery. As long as one of the conditions is met, the Sky Rod can be activated."

The pope paused, and continued, "This is a rule that you personally made before. The Sky Rod is the strongest weapon we have, and there is no condition for repairs. Every time it is activated, it may cause irreversible losses, so It will never be activated unless it is absolutely necessary."

Indeed... totally understandable.

The technology tree of the world of Terra is quite deformed, and there are not many things that can carry people to fly, let alone fly into space to repair space-based weapons.

Li Ke suddenly asked curiously, "Has there ever been a record of using the Sky Rod?"

"There is only a record of one use." The pope replied slowly.

"1097 years ago, the Sky Rod was activated for the first time, destroying the capital of the Sarkaz clan at that time, vaporizing the contemporary devil king who had almost assimilated with the will of the Origin Stone on the spot, ending the rule of the Sarkaz dynasty, and now An irreparable rift has been created between Yan Kingdom and Rem Billiton's land."

"..."

Li Ke felt that it would be better not to ask too many questions in front of a person like the 'Pope' who knew everything without saying anything. God knows if the other party would suddenly say an answer that 'shocked my mother for a whole year'.

Just like just now, he knew the reason why the Sarkaz Dynasty was terminated.

In fact, Li Ke still has many other questions that he wants to ask the Pope, such as what is the so-called Lateran god, and what about Kjerag's god?What's going on underground at Rem Billiton, and what's going on at Agor's side.

But Li Ke is receiving a lot of information now. If he is asking a few questions, there may be even more exciting truths waiting for him. Whether he can accept it or not is still a question. .What's more, these are not imminent questions, and it's not too late to ask them later.

Therefore, Li Ke went directly to the topic, "I have two last questions left. What do you know about the organization 'Absolution Master' and 'Eternal Life'?"

Next, the pope fell silent for a while, as if searching for related information in the database, and after a while, he said, "As far as I know, there have been two immortals in Sarkaz history. The first immortal was the first generation of Demon King, he has been completely destroyed by the Sky Rod, and only part of his power is left to be passed down, and the 'Forgiver' you mentioned is another immortal from the Sarkaz family."

"The responsibility of the absolution master is to clean up the negative impact of the will of the origin stone for the Sarkaz family, because the first demon king almost became the carrier of the will of the origin stone, and this bad influence has also spread to their Sarkaz family through blood. The whole ethnic group, that's what they call 'sin'."

"As for the immortal, it is a general name for a group of people. They have somehow exceeded the lifespan limit of their original race and survived in this world. For example, I, and you, are actually considered to be immortals. It is the immortal."

Listening to the Pope's explanation, Li Ke also had a clearer understanding of these two things, but he still didn't hear what he most wanted to hear.

What exactly is the large ceremony that the 'Absolutionist' is building?

After asking the Pope, Li Ke got an answer of "I don't know".

After all, the Pope is only a 'Laterano management terminal', not a 'Terra management terminal'. All he knows is related to Lateran. As for what the absolutist does every day in the shadows, how could he know.

But... even if he didn't get enough information from the Pope, Li Ke came up with a completely feasible plan during the conversation just now.

In the afternoon, Victoria slums.

Sitting on a tattered chair, looking at the clear sky, Miss Bagpipe couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

How should I put it, the experience of the past few days...is quite inexplicable to her. Even during the time when the special forces were performing secret missions, Bagpipe had never experienced such a bizarre thing.

Just as the bagpipes were sighing, a white-haired head suddenly protruded from the door beside her, shouting, "Hey, who is that, the king is calling you, come in for lunch quickly."

Hearing this, Bagpipe turned his head, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Well... I'm not hungry yet, you guys eat first, I'll come later."

Indra rolled his eyes, and said indifferently, "Whatever, anyway, if you come later, there should be nothing to eat."

"Hey..." He smiled awkwardly, and after Indra returned to the house, Bagpipe sighed helplessly.

Just yesterday, she changed from a glorious people's policeman to a missing person... If there is no accident, she will be deemed dead in two days, all files will be wiped out, and she will become a black household without even an identity .

Bagpipe had already learned about the deaths of several of her teammates, and if nothing else happened, the Forgiveness Master should have intervened.
