The church is a steeple house located deep in the town. Before Shandora and I observed the situation in the air, we found this house, which is very different from the surroundings architectural style, but our didn't expect is that this World religion will be so strange. : The only thing it focuses on from the beginning to the end is "storage technology". All religious activities are centered around this goal, and ancient relics do not appear every day, so most of the time the church is idle.
There are no daily prayers, no regular rituals, and no need for believers to listen to the teachings of the gods as often as possible—as long as nothing related to ancient knowledge has happened, the lost gods do not seem to exist.
For the first time, we really saw that the purpose is so clear that even our own spread is not a religion that is very valued. If the general sect does this and there is no real **** behind it, I am afraid it will be over, but The lost sects really do n’t worry about this: they have ancient techniques on hand, and the clergy are armed one by one like the intergalactic warriors, and they pursue elitism from top to bottom. The power gap between them and ordinary people is already close to gods and mortals, so The church has shown no signs of decline.
Celine is the only priest in the town, and naturally the manager of the chapel. She confessed to me that this church has not been opened for more than half a year, because Ancient times remnant next to the town has never been opened before, and no adventurers will come. There is nothing to do here, and the daily life of ordinary people will not be exposed to "taboo knowledge", so the church naturally does not need to be open. The opening half a year ago was because the higher parish wanted to come here to find some information-the eccentric style of the lost gods is evident.
However, although it is not open to the outside world, there are still dedicated volunteers to clean the church every day. Celine will also come here to take care of it. Therefore, the facilities in the church are always available and there are no signs of mess. The adventurers quickly concentrated in the church, and I held the Shandora ball in the crowd to watch the excitement.
The internal structure of this country church is very simple. Eighty percent of the available area in the building is a very spacious rectangular hall. However, unlike the general church, there is no seat in this hall, only There are a few group pads on the wall for people to rest. The rectangular hall has a high dome, and the roof is hung with complicated and complicated metal chains and decorations, which may have some symbolic significance, and the sides of the hall are lined with large stained glass windows. These large windows make this deep The long hall does not appear dim.
At the end of the hall is the place where theoretically serves as an evangelistic platform, and the location of Celine "work"-the reason why I use the word "theoretically" is because I really don't think it is an altar ... in fact, it is an alloy workbench .
This workbench is more than two meters long, about 1.5 meters wide, with a silver-white body and a clean surface. It is obviously the most carefully maintained part of the church. Considering its particularity, this should be Celine himself Take care of. On one side of the workbench you can see a lot of books and cards in hardwood boxes, maybe the reference materials for Celine "work", and on the other side you can see many exquisite coolie tools, and ... some I don't even understand the stuff. Perhaps it was the equipment left by the ancients. Of course, it is more likely that the Lost God taught himself to create it based on the data.
Celine stood behind the workbench and had put on a solemn black robe. The tired and slack expression on her face remained the same, but she was still serious about her work. A dozen adventurers are reporting to her on the periphery of the "Ancient Tower". Celine nodded slightly while listening to it, and occasionally asked out some detailed questions out loud. This scene looked like a report meeting from the geological exploration team I cannot think of the sacredness of "religion", but this is indeed a religious ceremony, and it is also a "taboo knowledge inquiry ceremony" ordained by the **** of science and technology ...
"Compared to the religious scenes tossed by Lily," Shandora lie down comfortably in my arms while muttering in a voice that no one else can hear, "Let Icetis jump out All of the prayer ceremonies are no match for. It seems that the previous popes of the lost gods are not really studying religion. They just want to seal up their knowledge. As long as the ancient technology is still in their hands, even if there is no cumbersome ritual, they can maintain the authority of the church. It's a grassroots priest like Celine ... it seems to believe in the existence of the **** science and technology. "
Shandora is not invisible at the moment. After confirming that even "professionals" such as Celine will be cursed by the ancient curse, Her Majesty the Queen is no longer willing to hide. Although I still feel that the shape of holding a big light ball everywhere is very strange, but Shandora does not seem to think so, her current appearance of Jin Cancan can attract a lot of eyeballs no matter where, we are almost on the way to church It attracted half of the onlookers who strengthened the company ... Shandora doesn't matter, Her Majesty the Queen, of course, the idlers and others are regarded as the congratulations of the people, but it makes me embarrassed along the way. Fortunately, after arriving at the church, everyone focused on the business, and a strange luminous body did not let them lose their gifts in the palace of "science and technology God".
"The internal space of the ancient tower should be very large, and surroundings has many outbuildings, some look like old warehouses, but most of them are empty," an adventurer with a face of full beard looks the most One of the seniority, he is reporting the situation as a representative, "There are no traces of unauthorized opening, so the warehouse from the very beginning should be nothing. tower is built on a rock platform ..."
Now that the location and structure of the ancient tower have been talked about, Celine continues to listen and nod. I will look at it for about ten minutes and she will fall asleep, then ...
The unexpected happened finally.
A piercing sound suddenly came from the forest in the northwest direction. It sounded like a kind of alarm sounding through the sky. The alarm has not fallen, and then came the low-pitched roar of a suspected explosion, accompanied by These strange sounds, everyone at the scene suddenly felt a strange feeling of appeared on the body ... The whole church was in an uproar in an instant!
"It's a taboo curse! The curse of ancient civilizations leaked out!" I don't know which adventurer suddenly shouted, the situation on the scene suddenly went out of control, and all the adventurers grabbed the weapon at hand, Some of them are grabbing weapons. at the same time is still scratching their bare skin. The static sound of "Poo pā pā" comes from the cracks of many people's clothes. Some female adventurers even exclaimed: "resonance! It ’s resonance! That tower is a roaring tower, it is attracting disaster! ”
"It is a strong electromagnetic wave environment, and it is mixed with weird clutter with high power." In a chaos, Shandora and I are the only two who maintain absolute calmness. The current form of Her Majesty the Queen has not affected her perception. , Shandora quickly knew what was happening, "It seems that a giant antenna was activated ... there may be something wrong, the antenna power is out of control, and it is shining in the direction of the town."
At the moment, there is more and more static electricity in the air. Some metal parts with special materials in the church are slowly heating up. The electromagnetic waves that are out of control are washing up this place. Needless to say, I also know what ancient tower is out of. problem!
But just as Shandora and I were about to take action, Celine suddenly slammed the workbench in front of her. She always whispered softly for the first time at this moment: "Quiet! Keep calm! There is protection equipment ! "
As the voice of Celine dropped, the static phenomenon in the air of surroundings no longer deteriorated, and Shandora and I sensed that there seemed to be a barrier appearing over the town, which could withstand the electromagnetic wave from the forest: see It looks like the church knows about the ruins next to this town, so there are emergency protective measures here. Probably there is an electromagnetic shield equipment hidden under the church?
"It was the ancient tower that was activated, emergency," Celine confirmed that the church's protective measures were activated normally, and then he was relieved, and then quickly commanded up while collecting the excavations that had just been handed over on the workbench. , "The adventurers present divided a part ... Just a few of you, to inform civilians not to leave the house, do not touch the metal objects in the home before the sky returns to blue, pay attention to fire and abnormal smoke at any time, the most important One thing ... never leave the town ’s surrounding walls! The rest will inform the adventurous adventurers, and all go to the ancient tower! "
Adventurers are worthy of being a well-trained group. Despite the unexpected situation, they are in a panic. Under the command of Celine, everyone still immediately go into action, and at the same time Celine turned his head to look at me: "Mr. Scholar, please be in town first Wait here, you are not fighting ... "
"I'll follow," I shrugged. "Actually, I have a lot of experience with the ruins."
"Not for this reason," Celine's expression is a little tangled, "This is the case ... We may have to enter the core of the ancient tower, and may even come into contact with some places in the ruins that are forbidden to dabble. High-level taboo knowledge. "
I ’m going, what about this restriction? Only adventurers can touch the core of the ruins?
Before using the guise of "scholar", it has been going smoothly. I thought that the management of the remains of the religious party has a loophole in this respect. As long as people who call themselves scholars have free access to taboo knowledge, didn't expect "scholar" and "adventurer" There is such a difference in the middle: only the latter is an officially recognized professional. Do n’t look at the name and bluff, but in fact can only see the lively folk scientists next to it? Say that as a protagonist, as long as you flicker, you will be able to hit the bullseye good luck buff? Feelings, I have been a zealous audience for two days. Oh!
After thinking about it, I decided to follow along: "Actually, I am also qualified as an adventurer ..."
Celine was suddenly surprised, and then asked a very realistic question: "Why didn't you say that early, do you have your exploration license?"
My first thought is: what is the exploration license? Then the reaction came in an instant: Sure enough, when the core field of ancient knowledge was really involved, the sect management was called strict. It turned out that when an adventurer actually needed a certificate!
So the authority that I used to use as the "scholar" identity of Fools can only be explored in the ruins surroundings? It ’s really good luck not to show stuff before, but how to solve the problem of exploration license now?
The Shandora ball arched in my arms and murmured lazily: "I know that A'Jun alone is definitely not enough ... Celine, look at my eyes ... Forget it, look at me, we No exploration license is required, understand? "
"... Okay, now I am ready to go to the ruins." Celine was slightly confused in the light released by the Shandora ball, and then muttered to himself, while the surroundings adventurer ignored this with a daze. Abnormal situation on the side.
The adventurers who were on standby all over the town soon were summoned, and at the command of Celine, they went to Zhenkou to gather together a mighty team, and Celine himself returned home, waiting for her to appear again In front of everybody ...
I ’m armed like looking for the future female warrior desperately Alien.
"It's a church costume!" Experienced adventurers exclaimed when they saw the Celine carrying a particle rifle. "The situation is already so serious?!"
Celine is still wearing that solemn black robe. It seems that he is not worried that such clothes will be inconvenient in the forest. What at the same time reveals under the robe is a lot of strange and small equipment and spare energy. A piece of armed belt, carrying a one-meter-long particle rifle on her shoulder, a small alloy knife in her left hand, a small metal box that should be a power backpack on her back, and a Bible hanging around her waist-just If this style is thrown in Hollywood, it can basically appear in any kind of movie except that it can't make cartoons!
Shandora couldn't help but sigh: "... the strange phenomenon caused by the dynasties of civilization ..."
"Ailu is okay at home?" While all the adventurers were busy checking equipment and nervously preparing for battle, I couldn't help but get to Celine and ask about the little girl.
"She has never experienced this kind of thing ... but I believe that the child will take care of himself," Celine clicked to open the rifle insurance, and then looked up at the sky, "The church is set up in each settlement around the ruins. This kind of barrier is fine as long as you don't leave the town. "
The sky is now showing a weird pink red. This is the result of the fierce conflict between the electromagnetic shield covering the whole town and the microwave environment in the air. Shandora just probed it carefully and found that there is really a church underground The electromagnetic shield generator, because it was quite concealed and kept closed, was not discovered by us. But it ’s normal to think about it. Even if the lost gods have sealed all the ancient technology, this protective equipment must be prepared in every Human Race town. After all, the World after the high science and technology war must have a high intensity radiation environment. Survivors who want to survive after the end of the World must have protection against radiation equipment.
The lost gods only need to ensure that these equipments are not directly exposed to civilians.
Celine took out some kind of detection equipment from the waist and tested the electromagnetic environment outside the town, and then pointed forward: "Start!"
The single mother who has a hard life has become a powerful high science and technology fighting nun, and she can vaguely see what she and her husband were doing when they ventured out.
Starting from the town, cross a wide wooden bridge over the river, and then walk a few tens of meters to enter the big forest, but our progress is not straight, but around a large arc, obvious in the middle What is bypassing: deadly electromagnetic waves.
Ultra-high power antenna system itself can also be used as a thermal energy weapon. As long as there is a suitable frequency, the cost of being irradiated by a microwave antenna is almost equivalent to being shut in a microwave oven. The ancient tower in the forest is obviously a kind of communication facility. Now it is releasing strong microwave radiation and harmful electromagnetic waves at several other frequencies. Among them, microwaves cause water to heat up, and electromagnetic waves at other frequencies cause metal charging and abnormalities in the air. The spark of the town is temporarily protected by the barrier, but there are strange and terrible scenes in many places outside the town: the river next to the town is steaming, and the dead fish are floating on the river , A large number of birds were startled from the forest, they screamed in horror, madly circling in the forest surroundings like a headless fly, but could not leave this area at all, and there were unlucky flying birds accidentally entering the air and invisible death The zone, and then stiffly fell to the ground, before the birds landed, their brains were already familiar.
In the other direction of the depths of the forest, smoke can be seen rising, I hope the scale of the next forest fire is not too large ... But now it is the season of abundant rainfall, the trees have a lot of water, Probably no such catastrophic event will happen.
These weird scenes seem to be nothing to me and Shandora. At most, let us be curious to guess how many sets of antennas in that ancient tower are out of control to produce such a complicated and messy electromagnetic environment, but for adventurers The words are different. Under the leadership of Celine, people escaped the danger zone directly illuminated by the antenna. However, everyone can still feel the possessive electrostatic numbness. People meditate on the name of the **** of science and technology. , Holding a weapon in his hand, some adventurers even chanted the same syllable as the mantra: they firmly believe that the evil knowledge in Ancient times remnant is leaking out, and many adventurers may be behind Celine with a glorious martyrdom.
But after all, no one left behind: Although the adventurer ca n’t compare with the clergy in knowledge and ambition, but how to say it is also the elite power of the best. In at this moment, he flinched.
The team quickly entered the depths of the forest. Celine was always playing with some small equipment, trying to find a safe direction to approach the ancient tower. Just at at this moment, we heard a faint cry for help from not far away Here comes: "Save ... help!"
"Over there!" A sharp-eyed adventurer immediately found the black figure falling under the bushes in the distance.
