Xiling Empire Chapter 1563: Strange action of Celine
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The book we and Shandora obtained from Celine is not an important religious book. In fact, it is just a journal-like thing, which records some things around World and the latest instructions of "Lost Gods", but it All the content is more or less centered on its own religion, so this can be regarded as a special issue of the church.
So it is impossible for us to fully understand "Lost God" from such a journal, but we can still know a lot from the side.
First of all, it can be determined that the Lost God occupies a very high position on this planet. According to the information in the publication, this sect is spread all over the planet, and there are massive believer in all race. The at the same time church has any church The region has supreme authority: this authority can even make a city-state ruler obey its orders in a commanded way.
Second, the lost **** at the same time has two gods (at least two, it is not excluded that there are more "little gods" not mentioned in the publication), these two gods are very interesting, they are called " "God of science and technology" and "God of Magic"-at least there are no such two priesthoods in the true **** system known by the empire, because science and technology and Magic are both "processes" leading to truth, they cannot represent the truth itself, so It cannot be the title of the true God. Both Shandora and I think that these two gods represent the lost technology of the planet. For example, "science and technology God" corresponds to the inexplicably standby space station in the sky, but the thing corresponding to "Magic God" is not yet known. The space station we discovered in space may not be the whole of the ancient civilization on this planet.
The **** of science and technology and the **** of Magic belong to the same denomination, and each has a pope as a spokesperson, and each of them has a believer group of similar size, and the relationship between these two groups of people seems to be good-this situation It is quite surprising. Except for the empire, there is really no World that can develop synchronously with the devil and do not come up with dog brains. It is unclear how this "peaceful coexistence" situation was formed, perhaps related to the ancient disaster mentioned in the church's decree? After a war, the two sides suddenly began to shake hands and talked with each other?
In short, it ’s better not to make up too much before grasping the exact evidence.
The last piece of information is also the most important one: the church seems to control "knowledge", whether it is science and technology knowledge or Magic knowledge, all activities such as inheritance and research are strictly restricted.
We now speculate that this "lost god" is related to the ancient high level civilization on this planet, and may even be inherited from the ancient high level civilization, and the remnants of the ancient civilization are likely to be spread throughout the planet (at the same time also Covered with space), the church forces seem to have not reached the level of controlling all the ruins, so they control the renaissance of knowledge by controlling adventurers and various learning methods. The adventurers mentioned in the mouths of Ai Lu and Celine now seem to be a quaternary versatile giant who combines explorers, archeologist scientists, grave diggers, and ancient cultural scholars. Throwing on the Earth probably belongs to the major The speech at the academic summit talked about dead people, and the job of these all-around talents was to search the ancient ruins of all World and report them to the church before the civilians found them (the church will give them some monetary rewards in this process). The at the same time church has sealed and monitored most of the ruins, but a small part of them will be opened again, allowing adventurers to explore freely, and adventurers will search for ancient equipment or files from the ruins (this process may also have to be followed by The out-of-control vigilance system is dead, so they are still a bunch of gangsters with several pluses in fighting strength). They have to rely on their own knowledge to identify these antiquities. at the same time prevents those accidentally from destroying those precision equipment, and finally they found out Most of the things still have to be handed over to the church (of course this can still be exchanged for money).
The book Celine lent me mentioned the transaction of ancient relics between adventurers and other civil organizations. This transaction seems to be permitted within a certain range, but the transactions allowed are limited to ancient alloys and have no knowledge. Works of art, waste containers, and other strange and non-technical things, a table is attached at the end of the third mimeograph, which lists the latest version of the "Private Exchange Licensing Directory". It seems a lot, but the restrictions are very obvious, that is: things that can pass on knowledge or can be used directly are prohibited from private ownership, except for ancient equipment that is absolutely prohibited, including all types of ancient books and some kind of "records" "Supplies" are also prohibited from private ownership, I guess the latter refers to a different World version U disk.
Overall, adventurers are indeed a very demanding profession, but at the same time also has a rich income and a very high status. It is not the same as the folk life-style adventurers seen in other World. The adventures on this planet They can even be regarded as "noble nobles". They delve into the things that ordinary people do not understand in their lifetime, and work for the largest authority on the planet. Their main source of income is the church, and every gold coin "shimmers the light of God." Although they often need to play their lives ( To wield a knife, gun, and stick to plan the ancestral tombs of space civilization must absolutely kill you), but even the priest must respect these omnipotent fierce men, and the pope also clearly declared in the Bible that the adventurer is the "founder of a new era". After the gods lowered their grace, they could be with the saints-of course, the premise is that the rules must be followed.
Unruly, for example, adventurers who secretly disclose taboo knowledge will still be wanted by the church, but they can be forgiven as long as they are willing to confess and swear that they will not commit, which further illustrates their special status.
This treatment is enough for other World adventurers who have been blamed for life by the high society and have been scolded by the high society as barbarians.
However, for the first time, I did see "Adventure" as the second largest knowledge group of World (the first group is of course the lost god), they can be said to be powerful and knowledgeable. Killing people through astronomy is equivalent to a martial arts scientist or an old hooligan who understands science, and is naturally worthy of that kind of treatment.
Of course, what the adventurers are treated and how good they can be is not the focus of me and Shandora now. What we are concerned about is the weirdness of this "lost god".
"They must have ancient technology in their hands, as you can see from the laser-printed books they sent out," the Shandora ball lies on my chest softly, and even the shape becomes a soft mochi , "Their goal should be to suppress the recovery of technology. I have seen many similar examples before. A small group of remnants of the race that still retains knowledge appears in the civilized era, and then build the privileges with the knowledge at hand. The entire race ’s technical renaissance to protect its own interests and something ... a short-sighted and stupid behavior, but it ’s not uncommon. However, this lost **** seems to be a little weird, they almost completely sealed the ancient technology, and they have n’t found them yet. Using these techniques to improve their lives, I have not found any city on the planet that has reached more than seven or eight times than other regions. The gods live in the same house as ordinary people, eating the same Food, even when going out, can only ride horses at most, even if they can use other high science and technology gadgets, it really can not reflect their advantage of monopolizing ancient knowledge. "
The Shandora's puzzle is also what I feel weird: What is the benefit of this lost **** collecting and storing the ancient technology alone? We have seen similar epochs of civilization and the phenomenon of remnants of old people in other World, but the purpose of other World "survivors" control technology is to let themselves enjoy detached life, such as making a lot of spaceship rocket tank artillery, claiming to be a **** Then their former compatriots, who had regressed into primitive people, even if not so extreme, they would use the old science and technology to improve their lives. At least they lived in a city more advanced than others, but the lost gods did not seem to do so.
The Admiral is hanging in space, and now orbits the planet every three hours, so we can be sure that there are no more than average advanced cities on the entire planet, and there are no large scale still running. In the science and technology facility, even though the lost gods controlled the ancient science and technology, it seems that they did not apply their large scale to themselves. And there is a **** priest close at hand: Celine, as a priest, lives a life like everyone else.
Well, considering the factor of her husband's death, she actually had a worse life.
In addition, we have also seen "traveller priests" as adventurers in the tavern. The other party does not seem to enjoy any privileges.
It seems that the Lost Religion really seals the taboo knowledge "as they preach," so that it is not allowed to be used by others, and they dare not use it casually.
Speaking of the "tourist priest" I met in the tavern during the day and the muscular macho Leon, I suddenly remembered something, so I poked the Mochi-shaped Shandora ball lying on my chest: "This The clergy of the Lost Gods can also come out as adventurers, and act together with other adventurers. I am afraid I know how her parents knew Ai Lu. "
Well, by the way, I also know how the distinctive aristocratic temperament of Celine came from: the clergy, even if the life is harder, it has been high level education.
"Let ’s not worry about other people ’s chores," the Shandora ball lazily shakes, "But Ailu is a very interesting little girl. It ’s really rare for a grown-up to leave a mental illness in this environment. , ability, where Celine wrote stories for her daughter, is magical enough ... "
Without finishing Shandora, I suddenly heard a squeaking noise of wood coming from outside, because my room is next to the stairs, so I can hear this movement is someone is going upstairs , And it sounds crippled?
The sound of footsteps passed in front of the door, and then slowly away, it seemed that I was deep in the corridor. I immediately calmed down Shandora, and then the two (or one person and one ball?) carefully opened the door outward Look.
Two rounds of bright moonlight shined through a series of window slits on the outer wall, making the corridor not so dark. In these intermittent moonlights, a thin figure just flashed in the field of vision, Sneak into the penultimate room of the corridor.
Is it Celine? What did she do to the nearly abandoned second floor so late? And it looks sneaky.
Curiosity drives the Shandora ball to jump around my head: "Let ’s look at the past, look at the past! I feel the tension in Celine, she seems to have some secrets."
"Okay, you do n’t want to jump anymore-you are Queen, is n’t it cute?"
As I promised, I opened the noise barrier and quickly came to the door of the penultimate room at the end of the corridor. The door was not closed. From the half-open door, you could clearly see the scene inside:
This room is not the same as other rooms. You ca n’t see the furniture in a normal bedroom like a bed, but a pile of large and small wooden boxes and some hidden in the shadows. You ca n’t see the specifics. The sundries are like a waste warehouse.
Celine is standing in the middle of a large pile of debris, she opened a long crate and took out a colorful +13 limited edition fire unicorn anniversary laser aiming Mega particle rifle-good Well, I do n’t know what it is. A bunch of names were just made up blindly. The main thing is that the appearance of the thing is a high science and technology.
That is a weird weapon about one meter long ... At least it looks like a weapon, its whole body is made of black alloy and dark green crystal. It has a streamlined appearance, roughly shaped like a beam rifle for Alien in many Sci-Fi movies, with a delicate structure like a grip and a trigger on one end, and a launch port on the other end, the overall degree of refinement is far from the current planet. The industrial level can be processed. This thing seems to be more lightweight than it looks on the surface. At least Celine, a slender and weak ordinary woman can easily lift it up, and it feels like it can't be much heavier than a wooden stick.
"Looking at the enlarged acceleration section and restraint mechanism, it seems to be some kind of relatively primitive particle jet weapon," Shandora commented quite professionally while observing the weird weapon in the hand of Celine. "The particle weapon used in the atmosphere is Need some special technology, it seems that we have to improve the evaluation of the ancient civilization on this planet again. But how does this thing look different from the style of those space station in the sky ... The surface of this thing does not have those flashy plant decorations, The internal mechanism also seems to be a little different. "
Shandora said this, I also noticed this: the weapon on the Celine's hand is a black shell with small pieces of dark green crystal at the end, and there is no decoration other than that, and those in space are regarded as ancient relics The space station are all silver shells, and the surface is covered with plant patterns. We also checked the interior of the space station at that time, and confirmed that their builders were very fond of this plant pattern and loved it to the extreme. As long as the equipment they make is sure to have this kind of decoration.
The weapons in the hands of Celine are far from those of space station in style, and Shandora finds that its internal principles are also special. Is it from a different civilization system? Or ... Isn't the ancient civilization on the surface related to those things in space? !
I feel that this planet is really interesting, the mysteries seem to be one after another, and at this moment Celine also has a new action:
She put the long black "gun" aside for a while and bent down to check the other things in the wooden box. After rummaging through it, she made some small blocks that looked like some kind of energy storage device. , She put one of the "batteries" into the slot at the end of the spear, and immediately emitted a slight sizzle from the spear, which shows that this thing can still be used!
At the same time, at the same time Celine also whispered and prayed: "The God of science and technology blessed this weapon, let it start normally and burn the enemy. May my trip not cause old disasters, may my words not lead The enemy of the end. God is above, sheltering the earth, blocking the all things, people are below, feelings of kindness, be prudent and act carefully. Knowledge comes first. "
This is a very formal and serious (of course weird) prayer. I suddenly thought that this was probably the "blessing ceremony before leaving" mentioned by the other party, or at least something related to it. Then Celine took a lot of things out of the box again. Some of them seemed to be weapons, some were armor, and some were high-science and technology devices that did n’t work. I still have so many powerful gadgets in didn't expect so close to me No matter what they are used for, at least the Celine is now armed like a female soldier of the Marine Corps who is ready to fight against Alien-although she is wearing a medieval costume and carrying a gun and a gun, it is still a bit of a violation.
After completing the so many preparation, Celine did not immediately wear them out to find Alien and died, but piled it aside, it seemed that she was ready to use it again soon, and then she walked towards the door.
I and Shandora immediately entered an invisible state, watching Celine walking slowly in front of my eyes, and finally disappeared in the direction of the stairs.
"What was that?" After Celine left, I scratched my hair and whispered to the Shandora ball, "Is this single mother going to be a TX series terminator in an instant?"
"Unclear, but it seems that we have to get to know the clergy of the lost priest again," the Shandora ball fluttered towards the door, "Look at the equipment, or Celine is a believer that violates the canon, detained privately. With the so many intact ancient equipment, or every priest of the lost gods has these things, they do n’t really seal all the ancient science and technology, but they are usually rarely used-in private, these clergymen master High-tech equipment that can arm yourself to your teeth. "
I do n’t know what this lost **** wants to do, but so far they do n’t seem to have a good impression.
However, Shandora doesn't seem to care much about this issue. She just wobbled twice in the air and murmured lazily: "Sleeping and sleeping, it doesn't have much to do with us anyway, it is the most important thing to restore energy now!"
I think about it too, anyway, sooner or later I will understand what is going on with this planet, and the behavior of Celine is not necessarily abnormal, so I do n’t want to do anything at all and walk to the house with the Shandora ball .
"Shandora, discuss things with you ..."
"Ah?"
"Is it OK to use you as a pillow today? Softly ..."
"Smash your head!"
"..."
(Enjoy guessing, you absolutely ca n’t think of where this World is and in the end
What's going on =. =)
