MTL - Xiling Empire-Chapter 1572 progress
Even the "boss" couldn't describe exactly what the **** forge was. The latter may really exist, but after so many years of word-of-mouth and deified effects, it has become an abstract rhetoric and exaggerated worship. Phantoms piled up in images. People in this world may use a thousand words to describe how great the **** forge is-but they just don't know what it is.
But we can still roughly restore the situation of the **** forge from these messy religious depictions: it is not on the earth (that is, away from the planet, that is, in space), it is in the eternal residence of the **** (then the possibility of this residence Is a larger space base), the Tenjin Forge is closed, but people are convinced that there is still flame burning in its furnace (assuming this legend is not groundless, then the "Thenjin Forge" should be a working device), In the end, the "flame" of the **** forge was mentioned more than once in the legend. This flame should not be ordinary fire ... then it would be a fusion reactor, or even more maddening, something similar to a psionic reactor?
"In short, if the gadget is still running, there must be an energy response. People on this planet believe that the flames of the **** forge protect the world, so I guess it should be an energy device to provide some kind of protective barrier. Yes ... "I said my own opinion," Yes, Sandora, do you think this protective barrier is the "interference" of this universe? The **** forge is actually the energy that interferes with the launcher, or simply the interference The launcher itself? "
Sandola floated up and down to agree, and then muttered a little unpleasantly: "In short, the religious legends of this world are very messy, and may be to hide some secrets, some parts are obviously artificially blurred ... Oh, we should Get in touch with people from a higher level in the world. Maybe Celine can be a breakthrough. She is at least a combat nun. "
At this point, Alaya has transferred all the personnel in the underground stronghold to the prisoner of war camp of the Admiral. Those prisoners should still provide some information after waking up, and Sandora and I are in a pile of self-disciplined machinery. With the help of this underground stronghold, "toss" well. Take away some of the important materials and equipment, leaving a scene that seems to be evacuated in a hurry, so that you can explain the whereabouts of the people here. After finishing these things, we left the underground stronghold.
At this moment ... it's the next morning. This is a long time.
I was facing the rising sun in the forest, struggling to stretch my arms and stretched my arms. Although my constitution was not so easy to feel tired, I was always tired after a long day of work, and it seemed that Sandora's ball was also taken by me. Infected, despite a light ball, she issued a long yawn: "Yawn-I'm so tired. A Jun helped me stretch out."
I suddenly stumbled: "What? How can this be done ?!"
Sandola hit my head twice: "Just drag me long, don't you just stretch yourself to stretch yourself?"
I: "... Her Majesty, let's not do this. Your image has been collapsing for several days, has it been slightly convergent ..."
Suddenly, Sandola rushed into my head and stunned, "What is my husband and wife and my mother-in-law and mother! What do I say when I rub your shoulders and rub my shoulders? And what else ... why am I changing? After you do this, you always have to say weird things? When has my behavior degraded? Is it normal? "
Okay, okay, Sandora ’s world view is different from ordinary people. She can easily accept all the attributes “as it is” of a ball and does n’t think it ’s malicious selling. I do n’t think I can follow this. A light egg beak with both a neuropathic view and a demon-like soul, he could only bear the cramp on his face and held the Sandora ball in his arms, squeezed twice, and began to follow her instructions. Drag on both sides, this ... this I found the feeling below how to do! ?
Sandora also deliberately issued the same foul call: "Ah-so comfortable ... that's how it feels, Ajun is awesome ..."
As soon as the voice came out, I could hardly calm down: Sandola would have been better now than spherical.
As soon as my heart is excited, the power on this hand is difficult to control. So after a while, Sandora's exclamation scared the countless birds and beasts in the forest: "Well--Ajun just broke it off ... it's about to drag off ..."
All in all, I almost got two Sandola balls, but in the end it was safe. On the way back to the town with Her Majesty's Majesty, I couldn't help thinking about her: "Sandora, how do you become like this and have physical sensations? Do you really need to stretch your sparks?"
"Need, don't believe you put yourself together and try."
Me: "..." Where can I wipe it off! Do you think other people can shine as long as you make a ball, right?
We followed the man in the black cloak day and night. Already far away from the ancient ruins that originally set out, although not to get lost, they opened a considerable distance from Celine and others, and Sandora and I did not deliberately speed up the road (although it was faster than ordinary people) a lot of). So it was several hours after the two returned to the edge of the forest to see the town smoke.
The probe detected that Celine had led most of the adventurers out of the ruins, so Sandora and I didn't go to the ancient tower, but went straight back to town.
In the past few hours, Sandora and I had discussed the issue of Sanguan with great pleasure and directly caused both of them to feel a little physically and mentally exhausted. However, there was no delay in the matter. Under the remote command, the Empire made a large number of deep space probes (because the spacecraft has undergone "rebirth", these carriers must basically be rebuilt). The deep-space detectors are specifically designed to enhance the ability to sense energy and abnormal space phenomena. We plan to use these things to find the Tenjin Forge, or at least something similar to it.
With the low-speed and high-precision probes that have been distributed over the entire galaxy range launched the previous two days, as long as the Tenjin Forge really exists, and the location is not too far away from my guess, then it can be found.
"Huh, come back-it looks like the town hasn't changed much, well, at least it hasn't hurt."
Standing at the door of the town holding the Sandora ball, my first concern was whether it was damaged because of the microwave irradiation yesterday: Although Celine opened the protective device in time, I was really a bit worried about the loss of the theology. Can the semi-suspended electromagnetic shields resist the power of ancient broadcast towers. Now it seems that the situation is good. The town is as usual. The civilians are still living their leisurely and ordinary days. If there is any change, that is, most people have a little surprise on their faces, and some buildings seem to be slightly Destroyed by high temperature or magnetic storm: This is better than the whole town turned into a microwave oven's hearth.
"Ah! It's Mr. Scholar! Mr. Scholar is back!" While I was observing the state of the town, the voice of an energetic little girl suddenly came from the side, and I turned around to see that it was Ailu—and the girl was still following her. A seemingly helpless adventurer, has this girl found "business" again? She also believed in what she saw from the Cavaliers story.
"Ai Lu is taking Mr. Scholar to find his mother," said the little girl, turning to the adventurer around her. "Then it's free service this time, you've taken advantage of twenty copper plates ~~"
The adventurer immediately thanked God for his expression, cast a leg on me and said, "This man is very patient", and ran away. The speed and the skill were almost ... I did n’t know if he was so big when he acted yesterday. Energetic, isn't that really annoying?
The little girl ran to me next to the bungee, and did not forget to raise her hand to say hello to Sandola: "Sister Egg! Mom said that you were missing in the ruins, and scared Ai Lu to jump, she was about to convene The adventurer goes to the forest to find someone else. Elu takes you to find her. "
Celine was not home at this time because of "special events." She wants to sit in the church. We quickly arrived at the church under the leadership of Ailu. Celine was still dressed as a black nun + rifle fighting nun, and it seemed that the whole person was more tired than before because of the past two days. I held the Sandora ball. Appearing in front of the other person finally let her eyes show something: "You are back? Are you not injured?"
"Ah. In some trouble, I just need to report something to you ..." As soon as I spoke, I was interrupted by Celine, who said in a hurry: "I won't say anything else, I will take someone to look underground. Situation. Some suspicious mines were found. There may be heretics developing forces here. Now the town and surrounding areas have entered an emergency situation. Except for adventurers who team with clergy, no one can go to the wild at will. You better also Don't go out. By the way ... what did you say about the situation? "
"That's all we want to say," I nodded. "Yesterday when I was looking for the missing adventurer in the underground passage, I met a dubious guy. Sandora and I followed each other and found a secret stronghold. You should say Pagans, they claim to be the Technology Renaissance Organization. At that time, the situation was special, and I immediately followed you without having to contact you, and I lurked back until midnight. "
"The **** of technology is up," Celine frowned and loosened her collar. It seemed that the presence of the heathen made this ex-venture adventurer + current combat nun feel a little tricky. "It really is the gang Heretics, they have infiltrated into this kind of place ... Well, do n’t worry, you have done a good job, you ca n’t do any better, leave the rest to me, and I will notify other parishes to block it first Road, and at the same time take people to the stronghold you said to see the situation-yes, this will help you lead the way. "
Selene couldn't help but apologize in the end: "Sorry, I didn't expect that things would become so troublesome. Originally, it was only a remote site approved for development, but it suddenly rose to the level of a heresy. You should have It's my guest. "
"Don't say that," I hurriedly smiled and waved, "In fact, I was quite surprised. A hotel owner turned out to be the head of the church in this area. It seems that Ailu's dream of" opening the hotel again "still has to come. Procrastination. The more adventurers get together, the more you can't relax. "
"It's normal for the clergy to do all kinds of business. I just happened to have run a hotel with my husband," Celine smiled. "Civilians who don't have much contact with the clergy will occasionally find us very mysterious or unattainable, but In fact, the church has never allowed clergy to occupy too many social privileges. The meaning of our existence is to manage the knowledge of the world for the **** of technology and the **** of magic, so that the world can develop at the correct pace. Non-divided thinking-at least the problem of life must be solved by oneself. This is why there are so few priests, and most people are not very comfortable with this stressful life. "
It seems that when it comes to topics that interest me, or that I can't usually find an object to talk about such things, Celine's words are a little bit more for a while, and Sandora and I have better understood the operation of this lost deity. And finally the core point is completely determined: the founder of Lost Theology and the core of the current church is the tree elves.
Of course, there is no such thing as a "tree elf" in the indigenous people of this world. They collectively refer to the tree elf and two other white elves that may come from other civilizations as "elves", and the latter does not seem to try to correct this. interest.
After determining that the Lost Deities were created by the Tree Elves, the "simple" and "hard work" of this sect also become better understood. Although their behavior is still a little inappropriate for me and Sandora, but This kind of atmosphere with clear goals, acting only for the purpose of storing knowledge, and not seeking personal gain (at least most priests do not benefit for themselves) really fits the ethnic characteristics of the tree elves.
Next I took Celine to that stronghold.
Of course, the people here have been removed by us. At present, the contradiction between the Lost Deities and the Technological Revivalists belongs to the "obscurant contradiction" (a proper term for a certain discipline of the empire. It is specifically used to refer to those due to civilization The group suffered from blindness or limited cognitive level, and it may be resolved in a short period of time.) It seems that this excessive conflict between them should be temporarily suspended. Secondly, members of the technical revivalists remain useful. Dora also counted on getting more information from them, so naturally she couldn't just hand it to Celine's sect.
So what Celine saw was a person going to an empty underground base.
"Looks like we're one step behind, they should have been watching the movement around the ancient tower, and the adventurers ran away as soon as they came," Celine led a group of adventurers back to the ground from the underground palace. With an undeniable disappointment on his face, "This will raise the level of vigilance again, and the heretics who have flowed out may be scattered to the surrounding towns, making it more difficult to grasp."
I held Sandora by my side and kept laughing. I ca n’t wait to write the six big words of “I do n’t know anything” directly on my face. At this time, I was a little envious of Sandola: she became like this without worrying about her expression ...
"Then what to do? Is there such a big thing, is it still the same thing over the ruins?" I asked casually, shifting Celine's attention while trying to shift the topic to a higher level of the sect. "What do you do with this heresy?"
"A fringe town like this is not even a" parish ", and the combat nun who officially owns the holy costume is only me, so this cannot deal with heretical events of this level. Now it can only let adventurers Help strengthen the security and strictly check every stranger who comes to the town ... The town is small and the place is partial. Now it seems that this is a good thing. Strangers other than adventurers will be very eye-catching here, "Celine was slightly tired. He laughed, and then frowned. "According to the size of this underground base, there may be a lot of heretics here, and they also have a certain research and development capabilities, which may alarm the cardinals ..." No, It may even shock the Pope ’s crown. If that ’s the case, I ’ll have to meet the Pope in the capital of science and technology. By the way, if the Pope really asks about things here, I ’m afraid you will be called as the first party Don't worry, this is an opportunity: I'm afraid the Pope can only solve the 'Egg curse' that Miss Sandora encountered. "
Suddenly, Sandola's ball fluffed: "Don't mention eggification again!"
Celine smiled slightly, just treating Sandorah ’s frying as an ordinary embarrassing reaction, and then lowering her head to herself, "I ca n’t think of it. I have the opportunity to see the Pope in my life, but It's because of this incident ... "
"It's better this time, let's save trouble," Sandola dangled in my arms, said through spiritual connection, "I was thinking of looking for a chance to meet the leader of the lost theology, and planned a direct storm The Sacred Capital sneaked in secret, and the chance came to find it by itself. "
The following days seemed to calm down temporarily, and nothing happened for several days in a row.
The adventurers in the town still regularly go to the ancient tower ruins to explore. Every day someone brings back some relics or rubrics of ancient writings to the church. Celine, as the only qualified clergyman in the town, is responsible for the relics. Rough classification and registration, after the relic exploration here is over, adventurers who have worked hard can get a monetary reward from the higher parish according to the total number of relics turned in: this is the way of cooperation between Lost Deities and adventurers .
During that time, Sandora and I went out to see the ancient tower out of curiosity ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ and found that there was nothing to look at: it was just a backward technology communication facility, and it was not built by tree spirits, more There is no exploration value.
And Celine has also transmitted the information of "pagans" to the Great Diocese through the special communication channels of the clergy. Each parish has blocked the traffic lanes in an attempt to arrest the pagans, but it is doomed to fail. It is said that you can get direct instructions from the highest parish for up to four days. Now it seems that there is really a chance to meet the Pope, so Celine seems more nervous.
Because Celine was busy with her work, Ai Lu became more unmanaged, and the little girl was almost a disaster in the town-so I'm helping to take care of the children these days.
Wait ... wait, why am I helping the widow to take care of the children! ?
Widow, fighting nun, bear child, lost civilization, who can help me recall these four things? !!
In short, time passed slowly, and when I thought that I should go to the Pope to talk about life next time, a signal suddenly came from distant space.
A deep space probe found something suspected of a "Tenjin forge". (To be continued ...)
