MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 130
If there really is an all-seeing eye in the sky above this world, it will find an astonishing coincidence. For the three most important places in Yamenan, great changes have taken place in a very close time.
Alingu, in the underground church of St. Andrew's College, the huge long-horned creature was surrounded by densely packed priests kneeling. Most of the prelates of Yamenan are here, even the Pope himself. They have been in Alingu since last winter, taking turns to pray, but more and more people are needed each time. To this day, when "His" is in a commotion, there is no one who can sit idle and wait for the shift to change.
Hundreds of mouths opened and closed at the same time, spit out the same scripture. The magic circle on the ground was like a badly connected electric light, emitting a flicker of light from time to time. The creature in the middle of the magic circle squirmed slowly, like a larva struggling out of an egg sac, the more it struggled, the uglier the priests' expressions became.
The priests of the underground church chanted sutras together, the apprentices of St. Andrew's College chanted sutras together, and the ascetic monks hiding not far away chanted sutras together. The decorative gold paint of churches, seminaries and monasteries was mixed with real gold thread, and the gold thread in these huge buildings combined into a huge circle. While they were chanting, light invisible to the naked eye flowed along the lines of the huge magic circle and converged into the core magic circle of the underground church.
They said: God, please forgive us, thank you for giving us blood and body, thank you for giving yourself for our sins, nourishing our souls, and saving us from this wicked and hopeless generation. God, please forgive us, make us your servants, lead the elect into your kingdom, please be with us forever and ever...
During this pious prayer, no one noticed that the eyelids of the creatures in the magic circle trembled, as if they were about to open their eyes.
Richard II sleeping with his lovers in the king's chambers in Urburg. Although the queen had been cleared of suspicion, Richard II also lost interest in her and never called her to spend the night again. Lying on the same bed with him was Mrs. Cynthia. Although she was no longer the only one among the king's lovers, she knew the king's mind best. Recently, Mrs. Cynthia often recruited young and beautiful omega to bed#Richard II, for which the king always treated her favorably.
The night before was a chaotic night, an omega on the big bed was in a climax, and everyone hung out for almost a night, and everyone was exhausted. Richard II slept very deeply, because he was surrounded by helpless omegas, and guarded the royal guard outside the house—the captain of the guard, Viscount William, is Lady Cynthia's brother, and he would definitely fight to help his nephew. Twelve spirits. After all, the king is getting old, and after the "record" worth boasting about, he is actually more tired than his lovers.
What's more, Mrs. Cynthia ordered spices to "enjoy the fun", and the drink that the king drank before the start was added.
People with supernatural powers are almost invulnerable to all poisons, but the medicine for calming the nerves is not harmful to the body, so naturally it will not be blocked. A naked body slid off the big bed, and put on clothes on tiptoe like a cat. She is plump and charming, and she is Mrs. Cynthia, whom Richard II favored. The female omega opened the door and saluted respectfully.
A lady with a scar under her right eye stands outside the door.
Queen Eve silently nodded to Mrs. Cynthia, and stayed where she was, while another omega followed her into the room. The sultry atmosphere in the room didn't make this omega raise his eyebrows, his eyes only flashed a trace of hatred when he met Richard II. Mrs. Cynthia walked out under the queen's gesture, and before closing the door, she saw that omega opened the suitcase in her hand, and densely packed, long and short silver needles were fixed on the lid of the wooden box.
The doctor in the room will take care of His Majesty the King.
On the Wenjialuo defense line, Anxu finally came to the point in the induction.
Before he got close enough to know what the opponent was, An Xu already knew that it was not a Firebird. There was no scorching wind in the air, no great momentum, and no surging tide of beasts. The woods in front of me were silent, maybe too quiet, not a single bird song.
When she landed, the person who was waiting for her showed a smile, his black eyes reflected An Xu's face.
An Xu was surprised, and felt that this was reasonable, and many conjectures were vaguely answered at this moment. Anna, the favored man with light blond hair and light golden eyes, looked at Noah, the favored man with black hair and black eyes, and they stared at each other for a second, just like staring at a mirror.
"Long time no see, my little sister." Noah said.
A thread passed through countless scattered beads at this moment, connecting them together as fragments of other dreams. An Xu narrowed her eyes, she felt kindness and disgust at the same time.
"Hey, don't be so nasty, who is your sister?" An Xu said with disgust, "Who are you? What's your business?"
"I thought you already knew, Anna Sullivan, the God's Favoured." A warm smile appeared on Noah's handsome face, "I am Noah, the God's Favoured, and we have met many times."
"You're talking nonsense." An Xu said with a frown.
"Indeed." Noah chuckled, "We ask people 'who are you', but what is the meaning of knowing a stranger's name? A name is just a name, a symbol, a title, just like a number, alone The numbers in the numbers are meaningless, only when they are placed in a series of numbers can it represent its meaning. People ask each other 'who are you', not to know what the other person is like, but just to know where the other person is."
His voice is very melodious, suitable for preaching. Even if there is an urgent matter, I can't help but calm down when I hear his voice, and I want to hear him finish.
"People are born with a position, whose children are their children, whose brothers and sisters. From this perspective, we really have nothing to do with each other. You are the head of the Sullivan family, the daughter of Earl Edward and Mrs. Norma. I It is the spokesman of the sky and the golden blood, the firstborn son that the Pope dare not admit, and the nephew that the king will not recognize." Noah said lightly, "But I think, this is not what you want to know."
The secrets revealed by this priest were enough to shock even a little knowledgeable Yamenan people, but the only two people here, whether they were the narrator or the audience, all looked unchanged. They really don't care about that.
"Human beings can't live without a position. After a person grows up, he has to fight for a position for himself, such as the boss of so-and-so, the subordinate of so-and-so, the spouse and parents of so-and-so. They can make their living The position is not fixed. For example, my unrecognizable father was promoted from the bishop to the pope, and I changed from the illegitimate son of the bishop to the illegitimate son of the pope. The weights and measures that people rely on for a living are actually human beings themselves, even if it is a king, there is nothing he can control Citizen, he will also be worthless." Noah said as if chatting.
"So?" An Xu interrupted impatiently, "What role are you?"
"Be patient, my dear sister." Noah smiled, "We have a lot to talk about today, so let me take my time."
"Generally there are a lot of things to say, shouldn't you say 'long story short'?" An Xu said dismantlingly, not wanting to be treated as an audience for coercion.
"Ah, I'm probably used to talking to myself." Another god-favored person was not annoyed at all, he smiled kindly and said, "It's rare to be able to reminisce with my compatriots. I really can't restrain my excitement. You are the same as me. If you have no interest in the realm of the human world, let's move on to the realm of the gods."
He is right.
To put it bluntly, except for Chris, An Xu has lost interest in exploring other people in this world. Since Chris's unreasonable speech last time, Anshu's life in Yamenan seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck. She still enjoys life as before, but there is a layer of separation when she comes into contact with people.
She still doesn't see this place as the real world, and of course she can't confide in others—or, as Chris said, she can't treat another person as her equal. Although An Xu is obsessed with games, she has never been able to distinguish between reality and fiction. The emotions invested in virtual characters are completely different from those invested in humans. Regardless of friendship or love, the most basic thing is to believe that the other party has the same free will as oneself and a real creature. I can't believe it, no matter how much I like it, it's just the kind of light emotion of "ah, this route has gone wrong, if you don't like it, read the file and start again".
However, when An Xu wants to treat others casually, "possibility" is like a hidden thorn, suddenly popping up to **** her at such a time. "What if it's true?" This thought always popped up from the bottom of my heart, and then was suppressed by the categorical "impossible". An Xu's superficial consciousness was not shaken by this, but her subconscious confusion prevented her from treating others casually.
In the past six months, she avoided Chris like a minefield. Chris didn't say anything about it. If she didn't call him, he wouldn't come out to disturb her, just like the one who said she loved her wasn't the chief knight himself. .
It doesn't feel good to be half-baked.
Anxu's troubles can't be told to anyone, her confusion is above this world, perhaps only things that are also in this world can answer. She thought of strange beasts and "gods". In her opinion, gods are just existences beyond the understanding of humans here.
Noah's smile deepened.
"I am Noah, the God-favored one, and the gods have bestowed upon me great grace. I was seriously injured when I was young, and Randolph III, who had just been promoted to pope, used his personal authority to allow me to contact the gods. God, chose me .” He paused, “It’s like the gods chose you when I gave you the chance to meet with them later.”
"How many people have you brought to meet God?" An Xu said suddenly.
Noah nodded approvingly, as if praising her for getting the point right. "A lot," he said.
"How many were chosen?"
"How many gods are there?" Noah asked back.
"Did the unchosen ones die?"
"Does anyone else claim to have seen God besides us?"
"I don't remember seeing any gods either."
"Of course you have." Noah said, "You just don't remember."
"I can make up a lot of things that I don't remember." An Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, you are my servant, you just don't remember."
Noah looked at her with a smile, as if he was really looking at an ignorant young girl.
An Xu was found covered in goose bumps.
"Don't look at me like that, you are handsome, but not my type." She said dryly, "After talking for a long time, you still didn't answer the first question at all. What role did you play? Spokesperson of the Holy See ? What are you doing here this time? Fighting?"
"Anna, the God-favored Anna." He shook his head and said regretfully, "Why do you frame everything with worldly eyes? I said that I came here to catch up with my compatriots. Don't want to lift a finger."
"Do you want to say that you are just a magic stick?" An Xu sneered, "I remembered, I saw you and Shiratori on the border of Tibes a few years ago, and heard you again in Urburg Open up a special session with me, if you are just a character who doesn't have many roles to show off your face, audiences all over the world will roll their eyes."
"You are looking at problems in a human way again." Noah laughed.
"I was originally a human being." An Xu rolled his eyes back, "I thought my secondary illness was serious enough, but it turned out that there are people here who are more serious than me. I really live so long that I can see everything."
"You're not, and neither are we."
"What is not a human being? God?"
"Your appetite is too great, Anna." Noah said, "We are just quasi-gods."
... Are you crazy? An Xu thought.
"As I said just now, human beings need the crowd to define their position, whether it is the pope or the king, there are no doubt exceptions." Noah said, "However, gods do not need human beings to define them. Even if all human beings perish and the world ceases to exist , God is also God. He is the basis of the world... Do you know where the names of the two genders, alpha and omega, come from?"
An Xu held his ground and shook his head.
"'I am the Alpha and I am the Omega; I am the First and I am the Last; I am the Beginning and I am the End.'" Noah said, "That's what the Bible says about God."
An Xu hummed, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She finished reciting the books in St. Andrew's Theological Seminary, and she knew exactly what was written in the Bright Bible here. I also have a vague impression of this sentence that Noah said, but... it is not the Bible here, but the Bible in reality.
She had goose bumps all over her body, and a weird premonition rose in her heart. Like seeing a huge shadow on a sheet of ice, you know there's something swimming beneath the ice.
"It's not in the Bible, right?" Noah laughed when he saw her strange expression, "No, no, no, this is the real Bible before the Dark Ages."
For the first time, the expression of the black-haired priest showed real fluctuations.
"Urbain I's coffin was parked under the ground of Alingu, and an even older Bible was buried with his body. He was the earliest divinely favored person. No one dared to desecrate the body of the righteous Urban, except the same I am blessed by the gods and will not be blocked by the Pope's guards-in this regard, I am sincerely grateful for my human body. Urban I compiled the Bible of Light himself, and condemned any Bible different from his as heresy. He left the last book and didn’t dare to destroy it, so it’s no wonder he was so lucky but he could only stop here.” Noah sneered, “Even if some human beings get the godhead and the favor of the gods, they are only willing to crawl on the ground in this life Be a servant."
"Noah," An Xu's voice was dry, "is your name in the last Bible?"
"You know?" Noah glanced at her in surprise, and then said as a matter of course, "Yes, of course you know, a person who is favored by God. Only Noah was favored by God and built the ark..."
"...with pairs of animals and his offspring."
"Yes, Noah the Righteous." The God-Fated Noah of the same name said, "But in my opinion, the name 'Noah the Screener' is more appropriate."
An Xu didn't pay attention to what he said next.
In this world, there is the Illuminati, which is specious from Catholicism, and there are ABO sub-genders, supernatural powers and strange beasts, which are very different from Anxu's world. The latter all happened in the Dark Ages. What happened in the Dark Ages? There are very few records, which have been smeared beyond recognition by a lot of myths and legends and praises of saints. Aside from all kinds of outdated and absurd rules, the initial difference between the Bright Bible and the Bible lies in the way of destroying the world. Not Noah and the flood, but Urban the righteous and the tide of beasts. When I first read it, Anxu thought that this was the direction of the branch of the original parallel world. Now Noah told her that there was a Bible before the Dark Ages, which was exactly the same as the Bible in Anxu's world.
An Xu felt that he had thought of something, and the answer was ready to come out, but there was a rare word stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it out. She regretted that she had been brainless all year round. The brains of the former puzzle game experts were not only rusted, but also covered with three layers of spider webs. An Xu couldn't think of a reason, and couldn't help but began to wonder if he was thinking too much. This kind of plot happened because he read the Bible when he was awake. The subconscious mind, the cerebral cortex, whatever.
She shook her head vigorously, and interjected in the gap between Noah's second speech, trying to take the initiative of the topic into her own hands. She asked, "Holy water has something to do with gods, right?"
"Indeed." Noah nodded, and did not follow the topic. Anxu was silent for a while, and then said: "You said that the first divinely favored person was Urban I, so the so-called sharing of God's grace with everyone is not completely nonsense. Through things like holy water ,Yes or no?"
Anna the Goddess. Sullivan was no longer as foolish as before, her expression became cold, and once the rich emotions faded from the light golden eyes, there was an inhuman sense of oppression. Her tone is full of confidence, it is probably more appropriate to say that she is explaining than to prove.
Facing this unfriendly expression, Noah's smile became more and more cordial. He smiled without saying a word, and nodded again.
...Sure enough, according to (game) experience, if you want to pretend to be annoying with a non-talkative magic stick, you'd better look cold and noble and pretend to be smarter than the other party. An Xu thought. When this kind of person encounters humility and asks for advice, he will go to heaven in shock. It's so annoying, so he can't speak human words directly, right?
"However, so far you have recognized the favored ones," Anna paused for a moment with a cold and noble face, "or quasi-gods, are there only three people you have recognized?"
"There are really only three people who have the qualifications to be called quasi-gods," Noah said.
"Holy water can only produce supernatural beings. But this is not the only way, otherwise there will be no ordinary supernatural beings." An Xu's mind turned faster and faster, "Holy water is just a catalyst, and different people's understanding of it The degree of sensitivity is different... This kind of influence can be hereditary. At the beginning, people who were sensitive to holy water were inherited through genes. Nobles, that's why there are so many supernatural beings among nobles. Nobles rely on fertility inheritance and secondary baptism with holy water—as expected, alpha awakening It doesn’t matter if you have more powers or gender, it’s all about taking #drugs—the Holy See is poured out with holy water, no wonder the quantity is large but the quality is not as good as the nobles... Besides, folks can also use it..."
An Xu's jumping thinking finally grasped something.
Photographic memory actually has its side effects. A person who wakes up in the morning and glances at the numbers and can remember how many hairs and how many branches there are on them is destined to feel that his brain capacity is not enough. An Xu's memory is like a huge library, the kind that has no book number or administrator, the messy information is thrown in it, and he can't recall it easily.
And now, under this reminder, she remembered two key words.
Holy water, devil's blood.
The holy water flowing out of the Holy See can be used for a second baptism, giving nobles who failed to awaken their abilities a second chance. The crystal nucleus extract known as "Devil's Blood" is circulating in the black market. There is a certain chance that people will get supernatural powers, and the fatality rate is very high.
Anxu's flesh and blood can be used to make medicine, which can awaken people's abilities, but the medicine is also unstable. Alva said that if the dilution is not enough, it will definitely kill.
The clues are strung together in a thread, and the answer is just a step away. An Xu opened his mouth, but his expression suddenly changed.
Another point in the induction came at the Bungalow line. Its sense of presence is bursting and familiar, and there is no doubt that it is the firebird. However, this sense of presence suddenly appeared at the border, only a thousand meters away from Anxu, and she shouldn't have discovered it until now.
An Xu figured out who was behind the trick in an instant, and she also understood what the purpose of this nonsense reminiscence was. Noah smiled happily under her glaring gaze. He spread his hands innocently and said, "Of course, reminiscing about the past should be in a quiet place, so that you won't be disturbed."
So, please trouble your people, entertain this natural disaster of fire first.
