Nolan Lusi’s words surprised me a little.
In my mind, this was probably the first time Nolan Lusi said such a thing seriously.
Assisting as if threatening.
"...No, I can't guarantee it." However, the girl did not give in.
"I can't leave others to die."
Her somewhat weak face was full of determination.
"That guy is terrifyingly strong."
"How will you know if it works if you don't try?" Nolan Lusi walked up to the girl, "I have never done anything like running away without trying."
"But this..."
"You are a gentle god." Nolan Lesi's eyes softened a little, "But gentleness...can't solve everything."
She turned around and looked towards the sky.
"Just like now...your gentleness has not saved the people here." There was a touch of sadness on Nolan Lusi's face, "You have witnessed the people here step into destruction step by step, so you are willing to seal yourself off, right? But like this Can it really stop everything?"
"Your power is not infinite, and now that you are accepting help from others, does it mean that you no longer have the power to continue?"
The girl's body stiffened.
"Although I don't really want to expose you, if you don't do this, you will eventually destroy everything because of your gentleness." Nolan Lusi said ruthlessly, "Tenderness is not a disease, it's just... Distinguish clearly what kind of gentleness is truly useful."
After a long silence, the girl spoke.
"You guys, you can listen first." She raised her head and looked directly at Nolan Lusi.
"Then make a decision."
"First of all, let me introduce myself...I am not the tree god you call me, but an artificial life form created by the Norma Confederation, Norma Seven Styles, but everyone prefers to call me Noelle." She lifted her skirt slightly, I made a formal dress-raising ceremony.
Although it was not the same as now, it was obviously some kind of quite formal etiquette.
"And where you are now...is the No. 7 escort agency of the Norma Confederation." She looked at us quietly and said, "I am also the last ship built by the Wanderer Project. After that, Norma The Confederacy stopped building this type of ship."
"...It's a little surprising." I glanced sideways at Kellas.
"What is this ship used for?" Nolan Lusi raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"It's used for escape." Noelle said softly, "In other words, it's prepared to deal with possible devastating disasters."
"It seems that it was indeed used." Nolan Lusi tilted her head and said, "I already know the basic information. Now you need to tell me what killed everyone here."
"...Our escape is to escape from some kind of rebellious life." Noelle said seriously, "We call it... [heterogeneous]."
The moment I heard that familiar name coming out of Noelle's mouth, I finally widened my eyes in brief shock.
"But, we failed." Noelle sighed, "After entering the exile agency, the heterogeneity broke out without any warning under the supervision that should have been comprehensive."
"The interior of the creation instantly turned into a hell. In desperation, the head of the agency could only temporarily order the closure of the area where the aliens were overflowing, and used most of the energy system to seal the place."
"But... the magic power is limited." Noelle smiled sadly, "The mechanism itself was activated in a hurry, and most of the magic power structures it carried were stored in the warehouse. After the heterogeneous outbreak, they were the first to be threatened. The most important thing is the warehouse. Although the commander and the guards have urgently rescued the magic structure, part of the magic structure is still destroyed."
"It's not just the seal." I said solemnly, "On the way here, I have seen... the lighting and other systems are only maintained at the minimum, right?"
And...the magic power inside is quite thin.
"...As you said." Noelle slowly sat on the ground and gently hugged his knees.
"The first problem that arose was the internal circulation system, because there were corresponding magic array groups in the isolated partitions. Although for safety reasons, multiple areas were divided at the beginning of the design, but in most cases When all the magic circles are ineffective due to lack of maintenance, the last few remaining ones are no longer able to support everyone’s needs.”
"After that, there was exile."
She laughed slightly mockingly.
"There are some nobles who come to the agency, but most of them are people who have made contributions and are honest. But now they can't get the rewards they deserve because of their integrity."
"Because of their spirit of self-sacrifice, the first batch to leave were all voluntary."
She looked at the exposed ceiling with a sad expression.
"They are kind...but I can't do anything."
"Then there will be a crisis involving everyone in the entire agency."
I walked over and patted her shoulder gently and said: "...I want to say something like 'be more open-minded' or 'it's not your fault', but that would be too condescending."
"I can't do it, so I can only tell you that people want to look forward."
Noelle was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled: "You are really an interesting person."
She shook her head and finally stood up.
"But I won't be hurt anymore - because the tragedy is over."
"Everyone, all failed."
"Without the supplies in the blockade area, even if there is enough space in the agency, there is no way to continue. In the end, the commander-in-chief gave me the final order...wait for rescue, and seal off the inside of the agency to prevent foreign invasion. They left the exile organization with their last supplies."
"Over a period of time that was so long that I fell asleep several times, I gradually transformed into a physical existence. However, I never received any news from any other agency."
"But I still retain the so-called hope..."
She smiled.
"After all, I have always believed that the Confederacy will not be defeated by disaster so easily."
I looked at her quietly for a long time.
Noelle stopped talking.
"They...maybe didn't succeed and didn't pass on the civilization, but I probably know a little bit."
I smiled and stretched out my hand to touch her head: "At least the fire of mankind has not disappeared because of this disaster, even though it has experienced many more frustrating things."
