Memory is a very unreliable, but wonderful thing.

The human brain can store far more data than any current computer, but the human brain is easily disturbed, and memory can be confused, or even lose some memory.

The wonderful thing is that lost memories can be retrieved.

"I remember it."

Shanna stood up, she was still a little shaky, and Alyssa was about to help her, Shanna staggered and stood up again, and walked towards the innermost part of the room step by step.

"Shanna? What are you going to do?"

In the innermost part of the room, there was actually nothing, just a wall.

Shanna paused after hearing this, but continued to move forward:

"I'm going to carry out my mission."

Everyone felt puzzled, you stop being a riddle man, okay, speak clearly.

At this time, the golem named Benben was anxious and rushed directly past Alyssa towards Shanna, but Shanna shouted without looking back:

"Benben, stop! I order you to stop!"

Benben, who tried to get close to Shanna, was like being immobilized on the spot, maintaining the posture of spreading his legs and not moving.

Golems and puppets are alchemical creatures that cannot disobey the orders of their masters. Obeying orders is also the meaning of their existence. Not executing orders is essentially denying their own existence.

So Benben stopped immediately, unable to move even a finger.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Alyssa immediately heard something wrong from Shanna's tone.

"Shanna, come back!"

The three hurried forward to try to pull Shanna back, but Shanna just snapped her fingers, and a huge glass cover rose from under the floor, much like a glass greenhouse, isolating the few people from Shanna.

Sophia knocked on the alloy frame, and she didn't know what the thing was made of. Sophia's brute force couldn't knock it at all.

"Sanna, what are you going to do? Come back! Father Pro is waiting for us to go home!"

"Sister Alyssa..."

Sanna's voice came from all over the room. There must be a hidden speaker in the corner of the room.

She still turned her back to everyone and whispered:

"I can't go back."

"What's going on? Explain it clearly!"

"I am the son of the star. I was created as a living battery from the beginning."

This made people even more confused.

At this time, Shanna had walked to the end of the room. The wall there flipped over, revealing a metal throne. Shanna sat on it and said with her head down:

"Do you know? The border of the elves' territory in the past was nearby. They knew nothing about the more distant starry sky, so they started a plan to explore the void with the floating city. The Broken Sky Star was the forward base of the floating city at the time and also the elves' border outpost."

She said:

"But the elves soon discovered that in the depths of the void, there was a terrible darkness that could not be described in words and existed for an unknown period of time. The elves could not even find out what it was. They could only be sure that this entity of darkness was approaching."

She raised her head, tears overflowed from her eyes and slid down her cheeks:

"So I was born, us, the son of the star."

"What's the matter with the living battery? Shanna, come out immediately, if there is any trouble, we can work together to find a solution!"

Sannafia shook her head:

"It's too late."

She looked at the five empty glass jars.

"The elves left five special embryos. Whenever the darkness approaches, one embryo will hatch under high concentration of magic power. This is the Star Child. The only mission of the Star Child is to activate the purification device in this relic and repel the approaching darkness."

"Wait! You mean, once the purification device is activated, you will..."

"Yes, the price of the purification device is the life of an elf. But the elves believe that the lives of their own kind are irreplaceable treasures in the world, so they created us to replace the precious elves."

Isn't this a living sacrifice!

I didn't expect that even when starships are flying all over the sky, Alyssa can still see living sacrifices. This is too backward.

Did the ancient elves really have no better way to solve it back then?

Not necessarily.

In the era of the ancient elves, the civilization and technology were ridiculously high. There was no problem that the ancient elves could not solve. It was purely a mismatch between input and output.

Since it can be solved with a simple method, there is no need to study more troublesome methods.

It's that simple.

As for the inhumanity of living sacrifice?

After hatching, each Star Child is a blank sheet of paper, without consciousness. In essence, it is just a "living golem" that has been infused with commands and some memories. Since it cannot be considered a human, there is naturally nothing inhumane.

"My four companions have completed their missions, but when it was my turn, something unexpected happened. A group of people entered the ruins and changed the system settings, which resulted in my failure to hatch smoothly when the darkness approached, and then the Broken Sky Star was now broken into two halves. It was not until three years ago that there was a sign of darkness approaching again that I started the hatching program."

Sanna said, looking at Benben.

"Benben, you put me into the escape pod after I just finished hatching."

Benben still couldn't move, but its spherical head moved down slightly, as if nodding, and the metal face actually revealed a reluctant emotion.

Golems should have no consciousness, and they act purely according to the program to execute the orders of their masters.

But Benben's actions were obviously not set by the program.

What happened next was just as Father Pro said. He found the drifting Shanna in the void and lived in Blackhand Harbor until everything came as fate would have it.

Shanna's hatching was because the darkness approached again.

All this was inevitable.

Father Pro asked Alyssa to bring Shanna here to find out what the Star Child was. He certainly didn't expect that Shanna's mission was to burn herself.

Fate plays tricks on people, it's just so fucked up.

Shanna paused, seemed to be choking, and was adjusting her emotions.

The wall next to the throne flipped over, revealing a small platform with a golden olive branch crown on it.

Shanna saw it and instinctively reached out to take it. Her consciousness was a little resistant, but she still grabbed the olive branch crown in her hand.

The crown was very beautiful. The extreme aesthetics of the elves made them ensure beauty before practicality.

But Shanna held the crown and opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

After a while, she looked up at Alyssa:

"I am the Son of the Star, the clone of the daughter of the magic lord Ymir, and I will carry out my mission!"

Everyone felt a slight vibration under their feet, and the ruins seemed to respond to Sana's determination, as if some huge machine was already on standby below.

Sana put the crown on her head, and the olive branch crown automatically tightened, like the golden hoop of Monkey King. Wearing it means losing everything before.

The moment Sanafia put on the crown, her dark red long hair turned platinum, and her skin turned from fair to honey-like light gold.

This is the appearance of the ancient elves.

A beam of light projected from above the throne, and the strong light even made everyone's eyes a little unable to open.

"Sister Alyssa, I'm sorry I can't go back with you. I like life in Blackhand Port very much. I also fantasized about going out for adventure one day, but my mission does not allow me to indulge myself. Please tell Grandpa for me that I am very happy to be Grandpa's granddaughter."

The light became brighter and brighter, and soon Sana's figure seemed to melt in the strong light...
