Chapter 3031: The Left Behind of Odes

Noah kept secrets from his own people so tightly, unless he really fell for eight lifetimes of blood mold, he would never happen to be caught by the Gisyanki pirates-this kind of small probability event can be ignored in the eyes of an absolutely rational mastermind. Excluding.
...
Qiao An strolled around in the spiral shell ship and was about to visit the cockpit. He suddenly heard the whistle sound outside the cabin, knowing that the spacecraft was about to set sail, and hurriedly walked out the door.
At this time, Noah's psychology came into his mind.
"Gnostic, my child, when you come to the cockpit, you will hide here. If I don't say it, no one else will know."
"But……"
"It's okay. After the spacecraft sets sail, you come out again. At that time, even if other passengers accuse you, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's coming anyway. It's for the sake of compatriots. I can't kick you off the ship."
Qiao An was touched and funny when he heard this.
"Great Noah, thank you for coming up with such a rascal idea for me, kindly, but I cannot accept your exceptional accommodation."
"You are worried that if the rules are broken, someone will question my unfairness?" Noah asked.
Qiao An first nodded, and then said: "In addition to maintaining your fair image and community order, the main reason is...I don't want to leave."
"Why don't you go with us?" the master asked inexplicably, "the end-time catastrophe is coming, don't you fear death?"
"Everything is mortal, it's the same whether you escape or not." Qiao An answered calmly.
"But the place of burial is different. Once you get on the ship, you can be buried in your brain in the future, with your relatives and friends..." Noah also tried to persuade him to change his mind.
Qiao An shook his head and smiled, and said calmly: "You already have countless souls in your brain, which is not bad for me. Besides, I want to solve some puzzles more when I am alive than sleep after death. For example, How does the shell ship work? For example, is there a way to prevent the'Fumble Winter' from coming."
The main brain was silent, and a few seconds later, he passed a sigh into Qiao An's mind.
"Gnostic, in the final analysis, you are still under the influence of Samael, but fortunately you haven't fallen to his level."
"Samael is a respectable teacher, but I don't agree with the path he chose. There is nothing wrong with seeking immortality, but I am only satisfied with transforming myself into a lich, but a coward trying to escape death torture."
Qiao An answered thoughtfully.
The main brain seemed to nodded and sent him a mental wave.
"I probably understand what you really want, my child. In fact, what you are looking for is essentially the same as the'absolute spirit' that our nation has been pursuing since ancient times. I hope that one day in the future... you and me It can all be fulfilled."
"I hope so, great Noah, I wish you a smooth sailing and a pleasant journey." Qiao An wished from the heart.
Noah didn't reply again, and instead sent out a wide-area spiritual wave to notify all the refugees and servants who stayed behind in Odes:
"After I leave, Gnostic will serve as the left-behind governor of Oedis."
"From now on, all matters in the city, large and small, will be in charge of North, and his orders will be the law!"
Qiao An didn't plan to settle in Oedis, and he was inconvenient to reject the goodwill of the mastermind. After leaving, he got off the ship, and he was hesitant to go to the No. 5 ship and say goodbye to Metatron.
However, before he could make up his mind, the five shell ships launched their psychic propulsion engines one after another, spewing dizzying silver light, and the huge hull slowly floated into the sky, accompanied by a violent space distortion, collectively from him He disappeared before his eyes and moved to the star realm.
Until the last moment, Qiao Ann failed to summon the courage to explain his true identity to Metatron, feeling somewhat guilty.
Looking at the empty square in a daze for a long time, until the left-behind people gathered around, they barely suppressed the feeling of parting.
"Brother Gnostic...Uh, honorable Governor, what are the next arrangements?"
A mind-separation refugee respectfully asked him for instructions telepathically.
Qiao An thought for a moment, then turned to everyone and said, "The mastermind and the elders are gone. This spiritual city has existed in name only, and I, the ‘left-behind governor’, does not intend to live here for a long time."
"As for you, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, have complete freedom, and don't care about my attitude."
Hearing what he said, the mind-savers looked at each other and looked at a loss.
They were born in Oedis, and they have lived in an orderly society from the day their consciousness was born. They can't imagine what it is like to do what they want, nor have they imagined that one day they will be separated from the collective, from the community, and have free will. The identity of the independent individual, decides where to go.
Gnostic liberated them from the inherent order of the Heart Devil community as the left-behind governor and declared that they were free, but they did not feel that this was a relief. On the contrary, it further strengthened the frustration of being abandoned. Feeling lost.
The dull atmosphere lasted for a long time, and finally someone broke the silence.
"Your Excellency, if you are unwilling to give orders and exercise power, can you give us some suggestions on how to live in the future."
Qiao An greeted people's expectations and said with deep feeling: "I can't even grasp my own life, and logically I am not qualified to give you advice, but I am happy to share a principle of life with you."
"After you leave Oedis, whether you do good or evil, I have no right to interfere, but I hope that you must at least have a set of logical, consistent and able to convince yourself to believe that it is true, act according to your own principles, and bear the consequences calmly. This is enough."
The mind-savers nodded together, stroked their tentacles, thinking about the depth of his warning.
"Master, do you want to leave Oedis too?"
Qiao'an's butler, the dwarf poet Tam, asked uneasily.
Qiao An nodded and said to him: "After I leave, you and Brother Saf and Goliath will also be free. I will release the mind control imposed on you and give you some magic crystals as a means of earning a living. Capital, if you don’t want to return to your hometown, you can stay and settle in Oedis."
"Master, I can't figure it out, why do you have to leave?" The emotional dwarf poet has red eyes.
Qiao An didn't say a word, someone next to him answered for him.
"According to Lord Noah’s prediction, the entire world of Vares is about to usher in a doomsday catastrophe. It won’t be long before this world will be covered with ice and snow, and Odes may not be able to escape the cold current. Instead of staying here and waiting. To be frozen alive, it is better to find a warm place to hide as early as possible, or to escape this doomed world altogether."
