"Prometheus!" Just as Sylvia looked surprised when she saw Lanxi City, Leo also showed the same surprised look after seeing Lanxi City, and couldn't help but uttered a sentence
name.
"Your Excellency Leo, have you read the ancient books on the origin of Lanxi City before?" Because Leo did not cover up his voice, the traveling merchants behind the carriage also heard it. One of the traveling merchants immediately showed a surprised look.
Leo said: "The name of the origin of Lanxi that you recited sounds really standard, just like the pronunciation of the name when recited by the ancient Lanxi people. Are your ancestors from the ancient Lanxi people?"
After hearing what the traveling merchant said, Leo smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Are there any ancient books of origin in Lanxi City now?"
"Of course there is. Although part of it was destroyed at first, after the blood was mixed, the people of Lanxi sorted out the ancient books about the origin of Lanxi, and even had more than a dozen copies copied. They are in various libraries in Lanxi City.
You should be able to borrow them for free." The traveling businessman responded immediately, then seemed to have thought of something, and added: "But if you want to see the original version of the ancient books, you may need to go to the Ancient Lanxi Cultural Center.
Although there are dedicated commentators there to help you explain the words in the original ancient books, due to the chaotic period, most of the inheritors of the Lanxi people died in the chaos, and the inheritors found were all students who did not receive the complete inheritance.
, so they can’t recognize all the characters in ancient books. Most of them need to compare with later translations to analyze what some characters mean, but the pronunciation has been lost, which is a pity!”
As he spoke, the traveling businessman also showed a look of regret. Judging from the fact that the other party knew so much information, if the other party was not particularly interested in the ancient Lanxi culture, then the other party must have a special relationship with the ancient Lanxi people.
.
After getting the information he wanted, Leo did not ask the traveling merchant any more about Gulanxi, because he knew nothing about the so-called Gulanxi culture, and if he continued to talk, he might reveal his secrets.
When the traveling businessman saw Leo suddenly become silent, he thought that what he had just said about the loss of ancient Lanxi culture had made Leo sad, so he looked at Leo driving the carriage apologetically and said nothing.
Say something.
Sylvia, who was sitting next to Leo, looked at her partner. She knew that Leo had nothing to do with any Gulanxi people, but she could feel that Leo was undoubtedly the one who called him out in the first place.
The name must have extraordinary meaning, but now was not the time to ask, so she could only suppress her curiosity.
As they approached the city of Lanxi, more pedestrians and carriages came and went on the road. After Leo and his carriage arrived at the first small town where the edge of Lanxi was built, the traveling merchants got off the carriage.
For these traveling merchants, their main customers are not the Lanxi people in Lanxi City, but the people in the surrounding towns.
These small towns around Lanxi City were built by people from different areas. Some of these people are locals from the realm of the Mother of Filth, and many are from other divine realms, and even people living outside the city.
A large part of them are not human.
The reason why they came to Lanxi City is that Lanxi City has many times fewer books than other places combined, and Lanxi City does not mind others reading and copying these books. Although this requires a lot of money, as long as the money is enough,
Or with enough equivalent materials, anyone can borrow any book in Lanxi City, including the original version of the origin classic of ancient Lanxi, which is regarded as a treasure by Lanxi people. Of course, this book is also regarded as a treasure by Lanxi people.
, for ordinary people, this book does not have much value.
Some of these people who came for books were already addicted to books, and some needed a lot of time to copy books. In the end, they all chose to stay and built towns. As later people joined in, the towns became larger and larger.
More and more, eventually forming the current scale.
Although many people have lived in these towns for several generations and can be regarded as naturalized Lanxi people, they still attach great importance to some items from their ancestral homeland. As a result, traveling merchants have also
He has become the most popular merchant in these towns. As long as there are no accidents, traveling merchants can empty all their goods into Lanxi City without spending a large amount of money to enter the city.
After the traveling merchants left, Leo continued to drive the carriage toward the dazzling Lanxi City ahead.
The reason why it is said to be dazzling is because the outer armor of the spaceship in Lanxi City has been fully opened, and the lights from the inner spacecraft cabin are shooting out, giving people the impression of a giant monster enveloped by countless beams of light.
, so just now the traveling merchant also mentioned that many people believe that Lanxi City is actually the remains of a certain god after his death, otherwise it would not be so huge and complete.
Some races from other realms of gods outside Lanxi City even regarded Lanxi City as an object of worship and established a Lanxi Church without gods, because the race that established the Lanxi Church was not a human being, but a
They are dwarves who are only as tall as humans and have stone skin, so the locals in Lanxi have not suppressed or restricted the churches of these races.
On the contrary, because these stone dwarves are good at smelting and forging, and they are also very powerful, the Lanxi people are also willing to hire these stone dwarves to do work. The reward is to allow them to perform their religious rituals and even preach in Lanxi City.
It's just that this kind of religion that has no response from the gods, let alone other humans or Black Forest races, even the locals of Lanxi will not pay attention to it. In the end, the Lanxi Church only spread among the stone dwarves.
As the carriage approached the city of Lanxi, Leo and Sylvia also saw these stone dwarves. They were all wearing uniform church clothes and standing at a crowded crossroads to preach.
Although these stone dwarves had stone skin on their bodies, their appearance did not cause Leo and Sylvia too much surprise.
Because Leo has seen all kinds of incredible alien creatures, he has long been accustomed to strange-looking intelligent creatures. However, the stone dwarf is just a little shorter and has a layer of stone skin, and his overall appearance looks similar to that of a human.
Similar, so it is difficult to arouse his surprise and curiosity.
As for Sylvia, she has seen dwarves from the world of Velen, and is not unfamiliar with the appearance of this stone dwarf. Only the stone skin caught her attention.
In the Kingdom of Maris in the world of Velen, there are dwarves. However, due to some brutal behaviors of the pioneers of the Kingdom of Maris in the early years, nearly 90% of the dwarves were massacred. After that, the Church of the King of the Hill was established, and the dwarves were destroyed by the Mountain.
The Church of King Qiu was classified as a church race and was finally preserved.
However, because of the complex emotions of the dwarves towards humans, they are unwilling to have too much contact with humans, so they all stay underground in the Holy Mountain of the Church of the Mountain King and never have contact with other humans except church personnel.
, thus making most people in the world of Velen have forgotten that there is such a non-human intelligent race.
Sylvia has a good relationship with the Church of the Hill King. After becoming the judge of the Orthodox Church in her early years, she also went to the Holy Mountain of the Church of the Hill King and saw dwarves. The stone-skinned dwarf that appeared now was
She is considered a distant relative of the dwarves of Velen.
After that, Leo and Sylvia could see more and more intelligent races in the black forest on the road, such as centaurs that were very similar to the deer people that Leo had seen outside the White Deer Treasure House before, such as a kind of floating in the sky.
In the air, there are floating species like jellyfish, etc.
Although these intelligent races in the Black Forest have all kinds of strange appearances, compared to the dependents of the Mother of Filth that we have seen before, these intelligent races in the Black Forest are very normal in appearance.
Two or three towns away from Lanxi City, the carriage was stopped by the guards of Lanxi City. They told Leo that if you go inside, you can only walk, not drive or ride animals.
Carriages and animals can be stored at storage facilities in nearby towns for a small fee.
Therefore, Leo and Sylvia sold the carriage directly to the local inn, because after leaving Lanxi, they would directly enter the Black Forest, and the carriage was of no use to them.
After handling the carriage, Leo and Sylvia found a road with not many pedestrians and walked towards Lanxi City. Because they were already very close to Lanxi City, the originally blurry appearance of Lanxi City became clearer.
, while Leo and Sylvia were walking, they raised their heads from time to time to look at the giant thing in front of them.
The city of Lanxi in front of them is larger than any spaceship that Leo and Sylvia have seen in Velen before. The area covered by its bottom is almost equivalent to the size of the Port of Set. Such a huge body
In the universe, it is almost half a Brood Warship.
However, such a huge spacecraft turned out to be a product of the old Earth era that had not yet left the orbit of the planet. This also confirmed various speculations by Earth Federation archaeologists about this spacecraft. This spacecraft is indeed related to the outside world.
Related to star civilization.
The reason why Leo recognized Lanxi City as Prometheus after seeing it from such a distance was entirely because everything related to Prometheus was recorded in detail in the basic education curriculum of the Earth Federation.
There are even various drawings of Prometheus, and this knowledge is also basic knowledge that every Earth Federation citizen must master, even cyborgs are no exception.
Among the spaceships of various races in the universe, the hemispherical spaceship shape is unique, and the armor of the spacecraft is also engraved with the logo of the United Nations of the Old Earth Era. It is difficult to admit the mistake, but what really makes Leo feel
The reason for surprise is that this spaceship is so well preserved, as if it was just built.
Just as Leo was re-reading the information related to this spaceship in his mind, Sylvia on the side finally couldn't help her previous curiosity and asked Leo: "What does Prometheus mean?
Are you familiar with this city of Lanxi?"
Leo explained simply: "Prometheus is the name of a god in the legend of a certain race. This god stole fire from the hands of gods for mankind. Fire helped mankind gain wisdom and reason, and created civilization. And this god
The god was punished by other gods for stealing fire. He was tied to a high mountain and had his entrails eaten by another god's pet. As for Lanxi City, I don't know much about it, but the buildings that make up Lanxi City
I know this spaceship very well, or even the locals in Lanxi know far less about this spaceship than I do."
"Can you tell me?" Sylvia asked curiously.
Leo nodded and said, "Of course you can, but this topic may be a bit long."
"It doesn't matter, it will take a while for us to walk to the city." Sylvia shrugged, held Leo's arm, and said, "Just think of it as a walk and chat!"
Seeing this, Leo sorted out the information and rhetoric, then described the old earth era as another starry sky civilization, and slowly told Sylvia the story of the Prometheus, and he also
During the narration, I reviewed the relevant information again.
The reason why the Earth Federation attaches so much importance to matters related to the Prometheus is because archaeologists of the Earth Federation have marked the construction of the Prometheus as the starting point of the history of the establishment of the Earth Federation. This was also the end of the war in the old Earth era.
the opening point.
At that time, the resources of the old earth era were already extremely scarce and the population was already overwhelmed. There was an urgent need to find a way out for mankind. At that time, all countries unanimously agreed to expand human colonies to outer planets to obtain resources and disperse the population.
After making the decision, the government of the old earth era began to make two routes for this plan. One was to transform Mars, which is closest to the earth, to make Mars a planet suitable for human habitation, while the other route was to build a
An exploration spacecraft in an alien galaxy, searching for planets suitable for human habitation from alien galaxies.
With the technology that humans on earth had not even completed exploring the solar system at that time, it was impossible to transform Mars, let alone build an outer galaxy exploration spacecraft. However, the final result was that not only was the spacecraft built, but even Mars
The first stage of renovation has also been completed, and small-scale immigration is now possible.
It is precisely because of this unconventional technological leap that Earth Federation historians who later studied this period of history all unanimously believed that alien technology must have been involved.
In the old earth era at that time, the United Nations government announced that these two human rescue plans had been initially successful. From the perspective of the earth's humans at that time, this undoubtedly meant that the earth's humans had come out of the predicament and would surely usher in a bright future.
