Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

In the 987th year of the Imperial Era, which was also the end of the first millennium of the Empire, a majestic space carrier was suspended in the boundless universe.

There is a ring surrounding the completely circular hull. If this circular hull is like a complete planet, then the ring is like the star ring of this planet, floating around the ring.

The entire mothership is like a floating star fortress, sailing in the boundless universe.

Originally, the Empire had already set foot on the starry sea as early as the middle and late first millennium, but because the Winter War at that time caused serious damage to the Well of Eternity, the data on the compatibility of magic and waves was lost, and society was in chaos, it was not until the establishment of the Second Empire that humans resumed stable exploration of the starry sea.

It is said that the reason for the outbreak of the war was due to the uneven development and inconsistent civilizations among other continents behind the fog, which led to violent conflicts.

If we have to talk about objective reasons, it was that the emperor of the empire at that time died early, his young son succeeded to the throne, and the Well of Eternity on Mu continent malfunctioned, which led to delays in the construction of the Well of Eternity promised to be built on other continents. Various negative reasons continued to accumulate, and under the internal and external turmoil, the ambitious people were ready to move, and finally a war across the continents was launched.

Because the war began and ended in winter, in addition to the official name of the Transcontinental War, it is generally called the Winter War by the people.

In the end, it was the descendants of the fourth son of the First Emperor, who were born in the Northern Church and were already commoners at the time, who ended the Winter War and established the Second Roll Empire.

The empire was restarted after a shutdown and successfully completed a reshuffle, making the entire empire more united and unified. People regained their faith, built more Wells of Eternity, and set foot on the stars again.

Perhaps it was really the blessing of the ancestors in the sea of ​​consciousness. Although humans did not discover any new habitable planets during this space voyage, they did find a huge ark in the vast universe. Of course, this ark is only as big as an ordinary spaceship.

If you are a fan of classical futurism, you might like this ark.

The mothership first communicated through known means, but there was no response from the other party. It seemed to be an unmanned ark. Some scholars immediately thought of the arks that escaped from the Blue Star in the ancient golden age, so they excitedly pulled the Lars knights onto the daughter spaceship, wanting to board the ark to check it out.

"This shape and propulsion system are so retro, yet so rigorous!"

Under the protection of Knight Lars, the gray-haired scholar was looking at the Ark with an analyzer and constantly admiring it.

"It's so beautiful! It's like the best answer given the space constraints! I didn't expect to find such a well-preserved spacecraft. Can I go up and take a look?"

At this time, the investigator's voice rang in everyone's ears:

"Report, no signs of biological activity were found, but there were slight fluctuations in the consciousness network. There may be an artificial intelligence creation similar to the 'Goddess' on the Ark, but the signal is weak and cannot be connected."

Knight Lars, who was protecting the old scholar, also replied: "Find the weak point in the space, bring the portable magic capsule, and we will use space magic to enter directly."

After using the portable magic capsule to generate temporary magic power, the team of Lars knights quickly brought the excited old scholar to the interior of the huge ark.

“It’s so beautiful, these designs are still worth seeing even now!”

As soon as the scholar finished speaking, the Lars knights grabbed him, and at this time a red light began to sweep towards everyone.

"Don't worry, this is just a normal check of the ancient system. It's harmless."

"I know, of course I know!"

After the red light swept across, some doors inside the Ark began to slowly open, but there was no light. It seemed that the Ark was running out of energy, so the Lars knights helped the scholars turn on the lights.

"That's why I'm so excited! This is almost certainly the Ark of the Ancestors that set sail from Earth in the Golden Age of the past!"

After saying that, the scholar glanced at a Lars knight standing beside him and said, "Sir, please open the lightweight! We don't know if this ark is still strong. What if you crush the floor of the Golden Age like this?"

Then, the scholar threw himself on the floor of the Ark and said, "It's worthy of the Golden Age to use such materials and structures. Although the materials seem outdated now, the layout is so ingenious. It not only saves space, but also reasonably releases force. It's so beautiful! There is a kind of beauty of classical mechanics! May the First Emperor bless you, and the Queen of Wisdom bless you, the internal structure of this Ark must be preserved intact!"

Looking at the fanatical scholars, the Lars knights had no choice but to scratch their helmets and turn on a switch. The heavy power armor on their bodies was teleported to a certain space, leaving only the most basic auxiliary equipment.

This is also a space magic modeled after the one created by the dragon clan.

After checking with the equipment, it was finally officially confirmed that this was one of the arks that escaped from Blue Star. Everyone who discovered this ark will go down in history, especially the first team that boarded the ark. No wonder the scholar was so excited. This old thing from the golden age, I wonder how many papers he can write.

No, that’s not the case. It should be said that this will be an important milestone in the restart of space exploration.

But soon, the smiles disappeared from the team's faces. When they boarded the Ark, because of the reactions of the surrounding artificial intelligence, everyone believed that some functions of the Ark were still functioning normally.

It was that scan at the beginning that gave everyone the illusion that the interior of the Ark was still functioning, but that scan was like the last glimpse from the golden age. After seeing that the people who came were humans, the entire Ark safely lost its last bit of power.

The scholar brought the Lars Knights to the control room of the Ark. After they walked in, the screen in the control room began to flash.

"It contains the languages ​​of the countries of the Golden Age."

The fanatical scholar's face showed a rare calmness.

"It's saying to us: 'Welcome to the universe, kids.'"

Although it was a welcome, it felt like the old golden age was bidding the new humans their final farewell.

"There are no living people on this Ark anymore. It has reached its limit of operation. Even the artificial intelligence responsible for this Ark has just exhausted its last bit of energy."

The old scholar had a sad expression on his face. It was obvious that during this long period of time, the Ark had been maintaining its last bit of energy. It seemed that it believed that someone would board the Ark in the future, and it seemed that it wanted to give future generations a little surprise.

And a captain of Knight Lars also looked at his military terminal and said: "We have just detected a weak wave of consciousness in this ark, but it is over now."

Inside the Ark, everyone stared with bated breath, as if time had frozen. The thousand-year gap was erased by these few words, as if they were looking into the eyes of their distant ancestors, hearing the wishes and blessings that spanned generations.

Just for this passage, how long did this ark persist in the boundless universe? The lonely ark floated in the universe, just to wait for the arrival of human beings.

How long will it take for humans to rebuild civilization after the disaster, come to the universe, and find the Ark? It may never be found, and the probability can even be said to be infinitely close to zero.

For the Imperial fleet, which has now mastered space magic and warp engines, it only takes about five to ten years to reach the location of the Ark, and this time is constantly decreasing with the advancement of technology. However, for this Ark of the Golden Age, this place is already thousands of years away.

Thousands of years of loneliness finally dissipated in the echo of the universe.
