Chapter 1564 The reason for the demise of ancient civilization?
Although I was extremely curious about the history of this planet, the physical and mental exhaustion caused by the previous war soon made Sandora and I fall asleep (in fact, I still can’t figure out how Sandora fell asleep after being transformed into a planet)
, it was really a good night's dream, and it wasn't until about three o'clock in the morning the next morning that I was woken up by the sound of the little girl Ellu's whirring.
"Mr. Scholar! Mr. Scholar! Come down for breakfast! Mom's baked pancakes and light vegetable soup!"
Ellu's voice came from downstairs, and the entire second floor could hear it clearly, followed immediately by the sound of Celine lecturing her daughter. I turned over and found that the sky outside the window was already bright, and people were neighing.
The sound of noise was coming from the direction of the street not far away: it was a good weather, and it seemed that the adventurers in the town were about to set off.
I looked around, but I always felt that something was missing. Then I suddenly felt something soft and warm moving under the quilt. I quickly opened the quilt and saw a rare scene: Sandora's ball was already there.
The whole thing lay down like a tortilla...
Speaking of which, the spiritual spark is obviously just a ball of light. Why does it have such rich shape changes? Damn it!
"Sandora, Sandora! Wake up! Your whole body is melting!" I quickly stepped forward to pick up this soft ball of Sandora, watching the latter slowly wake up and
Returning to the normal sphere, I didn't know how many grass-mud horses were rolling past like a military parade. After a while, Shandora finally came to her senses. She landed lightly on my shoulder, and her tone was a little confused: "Ah ha.
, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is just a spiritual spark, it will deform on its own if you don't concentrate on controlling it, it's normal. Speaking of which, when I was dreaming yesterday, my dream almost leaked. Fortunately, I controlled it this time, and it only affected two people.
A range of three light years..."
I fell down in a line of cold sweat. But Sandora herself definitely didn't realize how strange her behavior was now, so I could only sigh, and then came downstairs to eat with a ball of light on my shoulders.
Celine has already put the food on the table, and the little girl Ellu is running around to help open the doors and windows for ventilation. This is the daily scene of this mother and daughter: Celine no longer shows the same look as last night.
She looks like a female Space Marine warrior.
But I still remember the scene of her deftly checking the particle rifle. The quaint feudal-era building in front of me, the peaceful democratic woman, the room of advanced equipment upstairs and the future female warrior last night. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who could have imagined this?
How many things are related together?
I shook my head and temporarily put aside the memory in my mind. Since Celine didn't take the initiative to expose anything, I couldn't tell whether her behavior of hiding a lot of ancient weapons at home was in line with the rules of this world, so I
As an outsider who has just arrived, it is best not to ask about this matter rashly. After all, she is a clergyman, and the church happens to have the right to access "forbidden knowledge". We are just not sure that a clergyman of Celine's level has such a houseful collection.
It's just whether something "crosses the line". If this is a normal situation for others, then it would be quite inexplicable for you to make such a fuss.
"Ha, Mr. Scholar is awake!" Elu heard the noise coming from the stairs and immediately ran over happily. "Mr. Scholar, come and have dinner quickly! Twenty coppers for breakfast... Wow! Mr. Scholar has something on his shoulder.
A strange thing!"
Ellu's voice of exclamation almost resounded throughout the whole house. Celine, who was setting up chairs, was alerted and ran over quickly. I suddenly looked over my shoulder with a strange expression on my face, and then I found...a golden ball of light was innocently standing there.
Jumping around there.
"Sandora...Sandora..." I whispered and poked the Sandora ball. "You seem to be exposed - not invisible!"
"Ah, I forgot," Shandora stopped jumping and whispered in an awkward voice. "It seems that her mental state was too bad. After waking up, she was a little confused and didn't pay attention... Why didn't Arjun remind me?
"
I was immediately speechless: "You didn't notice it yourself. How could I possibly find out? Whether you are invisible or not is the same in my eyes. I'm not used to living with a bunch of status bars open in my field of vision at all times."
At this time, Ellu and Celine were still looking at this side with their mouths open. The "Mr. Scholar" in their field of vision was whispering to a strange-looking golden ball of light. The chatting scene was like two ordinary people chatting about ordinary things.
Like people, I knew the situation couldn't go on like this based on the way Ellu stared, so I quickly raised my shoulders and discussed with Sandora in the mental connection: "How about you brainwash them both?"
"Psychic sparks can't do such delicate things. They are pure weapons. They are made specifically for killing people. Even the smallest effort is probably enough to turn people into fools - and then these two girls will have no choice but to be thrown into the empire by us.
The Victim Care Center of the Admiral is here." Sandra shook her head, "Of course it's okay if you want me to silence you."
As soon as I heard this, I broke out in a cold sweat, but at the same time, some of the content of the three books I read last night came to my mind. I immediately had an idea, so I raised my shoulders and looked at the game as usual.
Lin smiled: "You know magic, right?"
"Magic?" Celine frowned and looked over thoughtfully, "I know that is more popular in the north, and there are people who study magic in the south, but magic is not very popular here in the Principality of Aiwen. Oh,
Are you doing magic? Scholar or magician?"
"Actually, this is a very complicated story." When I heard that Celine seemed to have an "unclear" feeling about magic, I knew that the Lost God Cult also had only a little knowledge of these ancient knowledge, and they were the kind of people who "know something but don't know it."
"What else is there?" So I made up my mind and simply made the lie bigger. It would be better if it was too big to be falsified. "This is my lover, named Sandora. Because of some special
The reason why she became like this...well, the special reason is that she accidentally had an accident while exploring an ancient magic ruins, and she was turned into an egg by some ancient magic!"
Before I could even finish my words, I felt a solid hit on the back of my head. Then the sandora ball circled my head while bombarding me and lectured me: "Arjun, can't you speak properly? What does it mean to become a person?"
Damn it! You can say that my soul is completely destroyed!"
"Anyway, this is the situation," I explained with a wry smile to the stunned Celine mother and daughter while ducking left and right. "When exploring ancient ruins, accidents are inevitable. Now I have been searching all over the world to find Sandora.
Regarding the method of recovery, I also heard that a new ruins have been opened this time, and I want to see if there is anything here that can help her recover."
I even admired myself for telling such a big lie. I said to myself that thanks to my free time, I usually read novels, movies, and TV series on the Internet while studying the pile of spiritual food collected by Pao, and I had accumulated a lot of stories without knowing it.
, this means that life is not stressful. If there is pressure, maybe you can throw me out and write novels to support the family. This story is vague in all aspects, but it is difficult to falsify in theory, especially since I put the big
Part of the problem was attributed to ancient ruins - the experts who visually inspected the Lost God Religion couldn't figure out what was going on with those old antiques. No matter how confused Celine was, she could only stare at the ancients!
Based on my experience traveling in various worlds over the years, telling such a lie in a world with an epoch of civilization will almost not be questioned. This is the most likely situation in an epoch of civilization: people are shocked by the superb technology of ancient civilizations, even though
They are unable to understand most of the contents of ancient civilizations. But they are willing to believe in the omnipotence of ancient civilizations through imagination. In short, no matter what bizarre things they encounter, as long as they have something to do with "ancient technology", it will make sense.
.
Sure enough, the confusion on Celine's face gradually disappeared, but she still murmured a few words: "Ancient magic still has this effect? Why didn't I hear about it when I was studying in the church... Is it a new lost technology that has appeared in these years?"
"Well, it must be a lost ancient technology," Sandora finally decided to help. She swung in the air angrily, "The evil egg-forming spell!" Then she hit me hard on the head, and the mental connection
His tone was even more indignant: "And Arjun is such an evil talker!"
Celine finally believed this statement that could not be falsified. I also breathed a sigh of relief. I originally thought that if the other party really wanted to get to the bottom of it, I would just abandon the business and walk away. But now it seems that there is no need to go to such trouble.
At the same time, I am finally sure of one thing: even the clergy of the Lost Religion have a very one-sided understanding of ancient technology. They must have lost a lot of things in so many years of inheritance. Or maybe Celine is in a marginalized position in the church, so she knows
Not much. Anyway, Celine doesn’t understand magic, but she can accept bizarre stories about magic with a very high tolerance. This can explain a lot about the current situation of the Lost Religion.
I walked to the dinner table holding Sandora Ball. At this time, Ellu asked curiously: "Mr. Scholar has been with Sandora Egg...sister? Why didn't you see it yesterday?"
Sandora disappeared and reappeared several times in an instant, and explained to Ellu with great courage: "Because your sister Dan can become invisible!"
Little girl Ellu's eyes suddenly widened in shock. Then she jumped up and tried to pull off Sandora's ball - I saw that Sandora was about to get angry, so I quickly pulled the little girl aside and hugged her.
Holding the sandora ball, she smiled at Celine without embarrassment: "Haha... My girlfriend's current state often arouses suspicion, so she usually stays invisible... Well, this invisibility ability has also been transformed into this
Obtained after a strange form."
Because I am not sure whether the natives of this planet have mastered the invisibility technology, I simply blame Sandora's invisibility on the ancient civilization to save the nonsense. Speaking of which, the ancient civilization is really a useful shield. Is there anything I can't explain?
Everything is directed towards them, and their status is roughly equal to that of time and the world. It's all their fault anyway.
Celine understood immediately, nodded and smiled without any doubt: "I understand this kind of thing, so let's eat first."
This time the Shandora ball appeared on the dinner table openly, and rolled around all the food equally openly. Celine looked at this magical ball of light and finally showed a thoughtful look: "In this way...
…I felt the table was shaking yesterday. Is this the reason?”
I cut the scones with a bit of embarrassment, and took out my own dry food to share with Celine and her daughter like yesterday (after all, it’s not good to just eat for free at other people’s houses). At the same time, I silently looked at Sandora: "Be good.
, don’t bother, you have no words now.”
Sandora's whole ball jumped immediately: "I know you still mentioned it! Why don't you not mention it!"
"Actually, when I was studying in the church, I also heard about some adventurers who were 'cursed' because they accidentally touched ancient equipment. Most of them were very troublesome and made the parties involved miserable," Celine looked at Shan curiously.
Dora's ball was spinning around the food on the table. During the conversation, not only did he completely believe what I said, but he also took the initiative to discuss this issue, "Your situation is relatively rare. I have seen more serious cases than yours. But I have never seen it before.
So... strange. Most of the curses brought out from ancient ruins are diseases or inexplicable infected wounds that cannot be cured. It is rare that such a situation changes a person's life form. This may be the ancient people.
Transformation magic used to create special warriors? You should ask the clergy of the archdiocese for help. It is very difficult to lift the curse on your own."
I had an unexpected discovery when I heard it: It turns out that the story I made up at random is not a special case. It has really happened on this planet? And Celine has heard of similar ones!
Just think about it, in a place where civilization has been eradicated, a group of primitive people carrying shovels and going shirtless to dig high-tech ancestral graves would be crazy if they didn't encounter point radiation virus infection. Think about it, if the earth's technology is eradicated, a group of
What is the result of the apes digging up the waste pool of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant...
"Is there a high chance that the curse of ancient ruins will occur? You see, I'm just a scholar. I'm not an adventurer who specializes in studying ruins, so I haven't really been exposed to this industry before." I asked as usual, "It just so happens that the clergy
You are very proficient in this area, can you tell me about the ruins?"
"The story of the ruins, you can find endless legends if you search for it, but most of them are actually made up by free adventurers when they are bored," Celine said in her usual gentle and elegant tone, with the temperament of a clergyman.
It's obvious. "Scholars like you probably don't understand that exploring ruins is actually... a very easy thing to make a big mistake. Therefore, every time the ruins are opened, it needs to be carefully decided by the highest diocese, and there must be a certain number of adventurers.
The clergy will accompany you to guide you. Otherwise, you are not allowed to start privately - oh, I guess you still know these common sense things."
What else can I say? I can only try my best to nod and pretend that I am familiar with the market. At this time, I really want to post a help post on the empire's main website: I have just arrived in a strange world with no civilization, how can I pretend that I come here often. Online
The wait is quite urgent - I seem to see posts like this often on the Imperial General Website, and they are basically posted by hard-working censors. Many times, I feel the same pain as theirs.
Celine cut a piece of scone for Ellu. Then she turned around and continued: "You will soon set off to the ruins with other adventurers, right? So you will probably see a lot of priests, but they usually leave the parish and adventure
The priests who act together are trainee priests, and their knowledge and abilities are very limited, but you can still ask them for help. No matter where they are, the priests are willing to help people who are troubled by ancient facilities. Oh, you mean me? I do
I am a clergyman, and an official priest... But you also know that I have been away from the core of religion for many years, and after marrying an adventurer, I will lose my "religious authority", which means I only retain the name and title of a clergyman.
It’s just the right to know some ancient knowledge, and you can’t use the resources of the diocese, so I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do about the problems your lover encounters.”
Celine no longer doubts Sandora's problem with the ball, but takes the initiative to rely on the explanation I gave her for everything. This is the benefit of closed knowledge and unequal information: she can only try her best to learn from the things she knows.
Looking for an explanation, you will never take the initiative to think of such mysterious things as aliens. When you see a handsome Greek guy wearing golden armor and posing next to the road on earth, your first reaction will definitely be that he is a coward.
r or performance artist, I don’t believe that normal people on earth can really think of that as a real god.
"There is always a solution to Sandora's problems. Just talk about the ruins."
I saw that the other party's enthusiasm had gone astray, so I quickly brought the topic back to the ruins.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I tend to get off topic," Celine smiled apologetically, "Speaking of ruins, we all know that they are taboo things left by ancient civilizations. Ancient civilizations are extremely powerful and can explore the mysteries between the stars.
The moment they delved into the origin of matter, they learned knowledge, analyzed the world, and once reached the realm of God. God was tolerant, so he did not prohibit people from delving into this knowledge at the beginning. However, the ancient people's wanton use of this knowledge eventually led to
Disasters. Classicalists say that disasters are sent by gods to punish arrogant mortals, while neocanonicists believe that disasters come from unspeakable disasters hidden deep in the world. These disasters led to the first great destruction... Anyway, no matter
Why, the ancient civilization became extinct, leaving only ruins all over the world, and the Lost God Cult is the first generation of 'penitents' who accepted the teachings of the God of Technology and the God of Magic. As you can see, we treat it with caution
Relics around the world, and guidance, cultivate a profession like adventurers. Although many adventurers move freely, they are still managed by sects, so that we can ensure that forbidden knowledge will not be rashly restarted... Oh, these are all
The content in the sermon book is an occupational disease, and I can’t help but speak in such a preachy tone whenever I talk about religious matters. Please don’t mind, you should be familiar with these things.”
"Well, it's okay, it sounds interesting," I said with an interested expression while recalling the religious story Celine told me. "So, even within the sect, we are not sure what caused the extinction of the ancient civilization.
?”
Celine's expression was very serious: "In the age of gods, mortals cannot fathom it." (To be continued.)
