Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

"What are they doing?" On the small square in front of the hostel, I pointed to the clergyman who was in a hurry on the mountain road below, and asked Celine with some confusion, "What religious activities are there today? Or because we brought Pagan intelligence coming? "

Celine is also confused: "Today is not a religious gathering, and the words of the heretics ... The information we brought should not be so serious, I think the cardinals are out. Oh? seems to be gathered. They are the bishops who are responsible for deciphering ancient documents and managing the holy relics. The priests who fight the masters are not moving, what new large-scale remains have been discovered? "

It seems that Celine, who is always on the edge, has no knowledge of the things in the Holy City. It happened that a young priest who did n’t seem to be called by at this moment passed by us (it seems to be ready to watch the fun?), I stopped The other party: "Excuse me, what are you going to do now? What are you doing today?"

The young priest seemed to know about us and recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was the guest who came here to meet the pope today (I think he should have recognized it after seeing Shandora, this feature is too obvious, "Floating "The glowing ball" is all a wordless ID Card), and said with a slight smile: "Is the two guests who just came today? The following is the Pope convening the relic expert, it is said that the gods forge came from three days ago The apocalypse that has not been encountered in a hundred years, the pope urgently summoned everyone to decipher the meaning of the apocalypse. Every day a round of meetings is the third day. But I do n’t know the specific situation. I am in charge of city defense. "

The "Apocalypse" from the Tenjin Forge? I suddenly remembered the ruins I found with the Shandora a few days ago on the edge of the galaxy: the time is just right! So that ruin is really a **** forge? And can it report to the lost gods on this planet?

Ten percents and nines were triggered when I and Shandora explored the ruins, but I do n’t know how these lost **** members who have been completely trapped in the low-tech society have any way to respond to this kind of alarm. They still keep it usable. spaceship failed?

However, the young priest in front of him really did not know the details. After a few chats, he ran to continue to watch the excitement. Instead, Celine was awkwardly surprised next to him: "The revelation of Tenjin Forge? The revelation related to the Tenjin Forge is still nearly two hundred years ago. I really ca n’t think of it just catching up with this situation this time, and it ’s not a trip in vain. ”

This incident is only a short episode at the moment. We rested on the windcaller stone platform for most of the day, quietly waiting for night came, after eating dinner (by the way, let the Shandora ball soak in the vegetable soup) A group of clerics wearing heavy robes came to greet visitors. Celine sorted out their black robes nervously, and then took with us the Rune carriage (a type of Magic that does not require horses to pull). Vehicle, courtesy of Pope Magic). This city built in the mountains is worthy of the highest treasure of the entire planet, and it is not known how much manpower and material resources the lost gods used to build such a large building group in the mountains after losing high-tech support. The windcaller Shitai went to the cathedral and there was a wide stone road with almost eight lanes that could be reached directly. Not to mention, there must be enough effort when paving the road.

The heresy event is the same for both science and technology and Magic of the entire church, so Pope science and technology and Pope Magic have to deal with the matter together, but what surprised me is that this meeting was not so solemn and solemn In front of the throne of the Pope, it was not under the witness of a large group of cardinals, but in a relatively private environment: after we entered the cathedral, we were taken directly to the small reception room on the second floor of the church, except for our guests. In addition, there are only two popes and a few Pixie/Elf bishops-the two popes personally come forward, it can not be said that the degree of attention is not high, then this relatively private scene should be the church ’s habit, anyway, I am very satisfied, save trouble Well.

This small reception room is an oval-shaped long hall, a bit like a meeting place for some on the Earth companies. On the curved walls at both ends of the reception room, two huge emblems are hung: the chain on the science and technology side and The gear symbol, the Hexagram of Magician and the eyes symbol, represent the two branches of the lost religion, and on the wall facing the door are some religious murals, which seem to depict the rise of the church after the ancient war. In addition to this, you can't see anything. Barely a spacious room with only a long square table and a circle of chairs: even the furniture is simple.

The guards were all rushed outside. It seems that the pope did n’t want to tell about the heretics in advance, and he did n’t worry that outsiders like me were actually assassins with hidden identities (in fact, I think the Shandora ball in my arms is quite good Like an explosive), and the first thing I noticed when I entered the room was the two popes vaguely surrounded by several bishops of Pixie/Elf: the emblem of their robe shows their respective identities, science and technology The Pope is a young male tree Pixie/Elf, with a slender figure, short green hair, and a face that is quite masculine, which is relatively rare in Pixie/Elf (most male Pixie/Elf before you say it, you really do n’t mean it ’s a male) The female, the individual pseudo-mother is even more powerful, and you ca n’t tell it even after speaking), and Pope Magic is a younger-looking female tree Pixie/Elf, with the same thin body, long green hair, and I do n’t know if it is Illusion ... I always feel that she and Pope science and technology seem to be a bit similar in appearance, but the face is softer. Is this still a sibling party?

Behind the Pope Passer-by A Yi Bing Ding has nothing to introduce, a total of five Pixie/Elf , Four of them are too old to look good, and the last woman is too young, too Magic The Popes are young, but considering that the Pope only has a hundred years of life, the youngest here should be the two Popes. Five Pixie/Elf Three of the bishops are trees Pixie/Elf (Including the younger one), the remaining two are other Pixie/Elf Species, me and Shandora Against tree Pixie/Elf Very familiar so this can be seen in detail. Of other species in the higher bishops Pixie/Elf It seems to confirm one thing: those who know the secrets of the ancients race Not just trees Pixie/Elf One, other longevity species also participated in the formation of the church. race Joint resolution.

"Welcome, sisters from afar, and two distinguished adventurers and distinguished guests," the Pope and several high-level bishops greeted him actively, speaking with the Pope science and technology, "the call tonight may still be a little hasty By the way, after all, you have experienced two days of fatigue, but the heresy is really serious, I hope you can understand it. "

Celine salutes quickly and respectfully: First, he drew a strange symbol on his chest, then bowed to pay tribute, and then spoke a little nervously: "It is an honor to meet the Pope, we ... Hey, Mr. Scholar, you Isn't it okay? "

I did n’t even think about it at all. at this moment was busy studying the murals on the opposite wall, but I did n’t hear the words: "What are you talking about?"

"Do n’t be restrained, do n’t be restrained, just treat yourself as a private meeting," the Pope Magic waved her hand with a smile, and then pulled us down to sit at the long table. After the everybody was all seated, she looked at it with curiosity. The Shandora ball lying on the table, "This ... is that lady Shandora who is said to have suffered an ancient curse?"

"Yes, Miss Shandora was transformed into this by the strange Magic when exploring Ancient times remnant," Celine never forgot to help us find a way to "remove the curse", and at this moment immediately seized the opportunity to mention this, "Hopefully Pope ’s Crown Under the help of the fateful lovers, Miss Shandora has not eaten for two years ... "

My voice was out of tune at that time: "Don't mention this!"

Well, Celine missed it because of an excuse that Shandora and I said casually at this point. It is really touching, but you do n’t know that the most complaining thing about the Shandora ball is the problem of eating. I finally let her get these two days. Don't pay attention to this matter, which pot do you not open, which pot Oh!

"Ancient Magic that turns people into lightballs?" An old, almost adult-looking bishop Pixie/Elf spoke slowly and hoarsely, and the old in the eyes turbidity seemed to have flashes of light, and he had The robe of the six-pointed star and the eyes logo shows that the high Pixie/Elf (not the tree Pixie/Elf) is a member of the Magic sect. "I do n’t remember the ancient Magic that can turn people into such a curse, but I have never seen such a curse. life format ... Is this really a Magic effect? ​​"

"This is indeed the case. If you don't know the reason, I don't know." I waved my hand and then confirmed with Shandora in the spiritual connection. "What's going on with the two popes? It's really only a hundred years. Is life expectancy renewed once every 100 years to maintain eternal life? "

On the way, I suddenly thought of a situation that can explain the Pope ’s 100-year lifespan, that is, to maintain eternal life through continuous reincarnation, because I had encountered similar examples in the Twin star World. The mission of having to live forever, but Shandora finally denied this guess after to scan the two young Pixie/Elf body and mental conditions: "Their soul has not been reincarnated, the body is indeed aging rapidly , As Pixie/Elf, they really just shortened their lifespan dramatically. "

"Why? Can you identify the" cause "?"

"In their within the body, they detected a concealed implanted device, which was connected to the brain, and at the same time acted on the soul," Shandora's said in a very serious tone, "It should be that this device has excessively consumed their body and soul. Double strength, only Pixie/Elf can barely bear this thing, if it is installed on short-lived species, I am afraid that it will be able to drain a person in a few months, or even die on the spot. But I do n’t know why their lifespan will be compressed In exactly one hundred years, this device does not seem to kill its own host regularly. How long the host can survive depends on their own strength. The device only shortens its life ... but these problems are all in the details.

So this is why the popes of all dynasties were short-lived? They within the body still have such a set of gadgets? !

I ca n’t help but look curiously across the table at the two young Pixie/Elfs who look like brothers and sisters. From the outside, they ca n’t see anything unusual about them. They talk normally, frown, and talk to Celine. Regarding the heretics, it seems that the implanted devices rooted in their brains did not cause them any pain, but they should be aware of what happened to them, even if they do n’t understand the device. Knowing that they can only live for a hundred years-the normal lifespan for short-lived species, but for Pixie/Elf, not even a cry of the newborn, they were selected from the sequence of saints and put on the pope ’s Gown service, too late to experience life as a Pixie/Elf will die, they do not even know who their parents are! What is it worth for them to achieve this degree? Related to Tenjin Forge?

"Technology revivalists have not been very active in the past two years. We have been guarding against their secret development and growth, but didn't expect will still have loopholes even if it is closely guarded, even they have penetrated into such a wide place, even in a Ancient times remnant A stronghold was built nearby, "The male pope is very young (especially in Pixie/Elf), but he speaks with a calm and reliable feeling, his tone is soft but not exaggerated, and he also has a very good understanding of church affairs in his speech, which is not as I expected. In that way, because he was too young, he was just a pope, "so many people will not disappear out of thin air, but they may use the knowledge of taboo to hide the first level of the encircling circle. I have arranged the Knights and the commanding monks in several possible distributions. Check the situation, as long as they are still on this World, they will definitely show their feet. "

"Why are the Technological Revivalists so persistent?" Celine reported what she knew and couldn't help but express their doubts, "They called aliens, made flying tools, and tried to dig out the origin of deep underground" Equipment ”, but none of them succeeded, and it turned out that they did not have the strength to fight against the church. Why are they still wasting their energy?”

"Maybe our attitude is too gentle?" The Pope (Magic Pope) shrugged. It seems that she is more lively than Pope science and technology, and speaks quickly and quickly. "After all, they have a lot of connections with the church. But We still have to suppress these guys, they do n’t know anything, they do n’t even know how this World is like a thin ice ... "

The Pope science and technology immediately sternly looked at the fast-talking female pope: "Chen Feng, we are not talking about this."

The female pope named Chenfeng spread her hands: "Yes, brother, don't be so nervous."

I was stunned for a moment: I just said casually before, but it turned out to be really a sibling combination? !

"Pay attention to identity, do n’t call me my brother," Pope science and technology looked at his sister severely again, and I thought that his next sentence would definitely be "Call me Pope on a regular occasion." "I want to call my elder brother!"

I: "..." Why do you suddenly feel more worried about the safety of this World than the two popes?

There are so many things to report to Celine. Soon she explained the events before and after the incident, and explained what she found in the underground stronghold. The two popes nodded at each other. Only curiously, I turned my attention to my side: "Now it's time to hear about your ... our deeds, the mysterious Mr. Scholar, it is said that you and this ... Miss Egg are bravely tracking a man with a holy suit Pagans all night? This is not the courage of average person. You are the only one who has seen one of the pagan looks with your own eyes, your intelligence extremely important. "

The Shandora ball slowly floated up. She has completed the body to scan against the Pope, and she just found some very interesting situations in the underground of the Holy City. Now that we have seen someone who knows the secrets of this planet, it ’s time for theoretically. Do the right thing.

"We ’re not talking about heretics," Shandora ’s weak yet majestic voice came from the light ball, "What ’s the matter with the science and technology blockade? There is this World shield and that weird thing Tenjin Forge ... Who are you insiders? "

I took a look at Shandora. I thought she had to pave the way for the atmosphere to find a topic entry point. didn't expect Her Majesty the Queen is Her Majesty the Queen. Once you start to work, this resolute style immediately shows up-she asked directly enough , In a word, there are four old men on the scene who are ready to pull out their guns: can this sensitive question be opened directly?

However, Shandora's's resolute popularity has saved me a lot. At least I don't have to worry about how to shake up this bunch of annoying problems in order. Celine found the atmosphere on the scene strange, but more importantly, she faintly realized that we seem to have raised some incredible questions, and suddenly looked over with surprise: "Mr. Scholar, this is ..."

"Do n’t be nervous, do n’t be nervous," I waved at Celine, and also said to the Pixie/Elf old man who was guilty of a heart attack. "We are not technical revivalists, we are much more complicated than them. Where does this start ... or Celine you go out first? "

Celine is just a very ordinary grassroots staff. She does n’t play any role here. On the contrary, it may make the Pope and the Archbishops difficult to speak, so it ’s better to go out directly, but obviously the person on the opposite side still has didn't expect. Point, an archbishop with a beard almost dangling to his chest stood tremblingly: "Celine is a member of my church, but the two of you ... don't seem to be so-called adventurers or scholars?"

"Are you sure you can let Celine listen here?" I have faced this kind of scene all these years, so I am not afraid of it. Anyway, before the other party thinks about it, it ’s okay to smash a lot of information out. It ’s better for people to speak, ”Then I will say: there is a space base on the galaxy ’s border, this Universe is blocked by something, all or part of you are from other Universe, as far as I know at least the tree Pixie/Elf was run from the imperial area Come out, the **** of science and technology and the **** of Magic are actually fundamental ... "

The four old uncles across the board (at least the four oldest bishops are insiders) suddenly said in unison: "Celine! Please avoid it first!"
