Halletdam means "sage" in the language of ancient people.
In ancient times, it was a once-prominent civilization. They were a branch of ancient humans, but from a certain point on, they became the mainstream.
"Colossus Civilization", "The Era of Miraculous Creation with Gears and Steam", "The Incredible World When Everyone is a Wise Man", their nicknames and reputations are numerous. In that distant era, they and their creations once spread all over the world.
world.
With advanced civilization metal, they conquered the entire world. The huge floating islands and cloud towers made the sky no longer a secret place. The island turtle entrusted with the huge barrier was a beautiful underwater city, and the huge Titan Golem was just
The guardian of the home, even the dragon must remain humble to its wisdom and power.
Even today, the floating islands of the Winged People, the floating battleships of the Oran Empire, and the Colossus Legion of the Solo Federation all have the shadow of this race to a greater or lesser extent.
Both modern engineering and alchemy regard it as the ancestor. The ruins of Hallettdam have always been the focus of competition among various countries. After all, no one knows whether there is an important technology that is about to change the world sleeping in a newly discovered ruin.
At their peak, they even dared to argue with the gods about truth and authenticity. Why such a powerful civilization disappeared after saying it was gone has always been a secret of history. Documents from various countries have researched and textual research, but once the past history and the causes of extinction are detailed
, but the words are always inexplicably unclear.
"Catastrophe? Alien invasion? Return of the Ice Age? Destructive viral plague? Version update? None. The reason is actually very simple. They stepped over the line!"
And for some beings, the cause of Hallettdam's demise is not only not a secret. On the contrary, it is a warning, warning them that there are things they can do, but there are things they cannot touch or even think about.
"Maybe you can be as powerful as the gods, but please never really step into the realm of the gods, at least, don't let the guys above you see it."
It is not a big secret that Hallettdam was destroyed by divine punishment. At the entrance to the Spiral Tower of Babel in Cape Gretel, which only the strong can reach, there is a stone tablet with ancient words inscribed on it.
The highest crime.
"The whole race is immortal, the artificial soul is created, and life is created."
These are the three taboo sins hated by the gods. The proud Haletdam people indeed once stepped into the realm of the Creator and were punished by the gods.
But this is undoubtedly just a superficial view. "The endless reproduction of the tribe will eventually exhaust all the resources in the world." But in the eyes of thoughtful people, their crime is only one.
"They broke the cycle of reincarnation."
When the death rate dropped significantly, no new souls entered the River Styx and the Pillar of Heaven. When artificial souls and life creation technology could produce new races, the original cycle of reincarnation was naturally broken.
Undoubtedly, this touched the bottom line of the two sleepers, so divine punishment came and they became extinct. Everything was so simple.
In order to prevent these technologies from being discovered again, the black tombstone outside the Babel Tower always reminds the strong mortals that there are some things that must never be touched.
Therefore, even if someone discovers a shortcut to immortality, they would never dare to mass-produce immortals on a large scale. The artificial soul of the second of the three original sins, and the technology of artificial soul reconstruction have been lost for many years.
Of course, wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. The more oppressive the gods are, it is not uncommon for people who cross the line to die.
Although the Holy Church has executed many people with the label of heresy, true heretics are also indispensable. The more forbidden something is, the more likely it is to arouse curiosity. Over the years, countless alchemists who challenged life to refine it have been burned to death.
, many of them are still core members of the church. After all, immortality is a sweet bait that people cannot refuse.
The last lunatic who was closest to the red line was probably me, but the goal of pursuing immortality was inconsistent with that of other seniors, so my approach was very different.
"When eternal night falls, the living will withdraw from the stage of history, and only the dead will exist forever in this world!"
If the kingdom of the dead is established and all the living are transformed into the dead, then reincarnation will naturally become a joke, and it can be regarded as saving the world in disguise.
Every time I think of the speech I gave in the second grade, I seem to have seen that shameful black history, and I secretly sigh that we were lucky to have pulled back from the brink. If the Kingdom of the Dead was really established, it would probably be the time when divine punishment would come.
Already.
Afterwards, Aiye also confirmed my guess in person. It was impossible for the gods to watch the world of the dead being established.
However, the enemies are opposed to it, and the reasons for their opposition are natural. These three technologies all have great potential. I have been researching them, and have already achieved certain results.
But I'm not stupid enough to offend the gods by bringing out the finished product now. Well, the Seven Deadly Sins did touch some sensitive nerves, but the fact that I didn't produce them on a large scale made them relieved.
I'm afraid I've been on their alert list all year round. If I don't start by creating powerful individual creatures, but like some undead kings, directly rush to the immortality of all members and the whole clan, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the sky.
Came down directly.
Of course, I am not the only heretic who seeks death like this. I personally have a lot of knowledge in the study of souls and the structure of necromancy, and Amyra’s life structure has challenged the authority of the true God to create gods, and her creations are easy.
To achieve immortality... If she hadn't been using plants to cover up her research results and subconsciously skipped the realm of the soul, I'm afraid she would definitely be indispensable for the light of divine punishment.
But some things may have always been beyond the control of gods. For example, not all members of Hallettdam died back then.
Yes, he still has a remnant, more than one.
"Magic Master" Timiret, one of the founders of future magic mechanics. During that "history", if Olivia solved the troublesome energy and power bottleneck, this master was the most original.
His invention is a control system that allows ordinary people to use supernatural powers.
Theoretically, an ordinary person without special training cannot control supernatural abilities. Then, give the magic machine an independent soul. Let it control the power of the elements. The warrior only needs to give him orders.
Enough.
If Olivia gave the magical mechanical creation the blood and nutrients for the physical body to function, what Timiret gave was to this new born human soul.
However, many people also noticed that although he went around in circles and made many cover-ups, he stepped into the taboo from the beginning, and he restarted the taboo on artificial souls!
When I learned about Timiret's results, I was also very surprised.
After all, I personally have done some research on artificial souls, and I know that as long as the soul is involved, the difficulty of research will skyrocket. In order to achieve results, researchers must abandon their conscience and lower limits. After all, the research materials cannot be humane from the beginning.
.
I have spent hundreds of years and have countless experimental materials in hand, but the research results are still on piecing together new souls with old souls. Using extreme emotions to create twisted and powerful fighting souls, he has managed to mass-produce brand-new artificial souls.
Soul. The technical gap is really quite big.
Although I still clearly have the upper hand in terms of individual strength, I obviously lost in terms of theory and technology. This result surprised me, who has always had a high self-esteem.
"Is that snot-nosed kid really so talented that he can skip the stage of knowledge accumulation to experimental data collection? Or, just like Olivia, such an amazing invention is also a miracle caused by an accidental spark."
So, I naturally took a few more glances at little Timiret and had a lot of expectations for his future.
Later I realized that I had thought wrong from the beginning. Some things really cannot be explained by genius and chance.
"Ad1897, July 7th, the Summer of the Gryphon... At least it should still be summer in the Oran Empire. And the weather in the North is getting colder and colder. It seems that snow is coming soon."
The drawing booklet for children has extremely mature handwriting, but the fonts on it are completely different from the existing writing system. They are a special font similar to the accumulation of numbers.
If you only look at the literal pattern, it is not text at all, but a superposition of a series of irregular images, including triangles, circles, and twisted counting codes. To others, it may be like a ghostly drawing of a code book.
For little Timmyret, it was just a daily language - Haletdam.
"Sister Dana is very happy recently. She seems to be going well at work. The students in the school respect her and she smiles more all day long... Well, my sister is happy and it has nothing to do with those male cats in estrus surrounding her.
No, on the contrary, there are flies buzzing in front of her every day, and she must be very troubled. It seems that I still have to find an opportunity to teach those nasty idiots who are pestering my sister a lesson."
In a sense, Ms. Dana has never married, which is really a drag on her precious brother. However, the direction of the drag is somewhat different from what she thought.
"Although the gadgets of those goblins are not mature enough, they have given me a lot of new ideas. The xt-2 will be completed probably next week. So, let's use the bakery owner's son to make a blood sacrifice first. Humph, actually
You dare to pester me, and you dared to give me flowers yesterday!"
Thinking of his sister's smile when she received the flowers, Timiret couldn't help but feel angry.
In some aspects, little Timiret is more mature than everyone expected, but in some aspects, he is just like an ordinary orphan who has lost his parents. He has a deep attachment to the sister who raised him. This is too easy to understand.
, so normal... Okay, I know this is not normal at all. Don't I want to classify him as a normal person? Just let me, Ah Q, do it.
Timiret Haku Evanro XVII, the first name is the name he is known by in this world, but the second Haku Evanro comes from an ancient soul.
When the divine punishment came, Halletdam ushered in the end of the race, but a master of artificial souls was unwilling to perish. He hoped to use his knowledge and ability to avoid the inevitable destruction. He wanted to
The civilization of one's own race is passed on.
"A person's personality is nothing more than the soul itself with attached memories. The soul can be reincarnated repeatedly in reincarnation. If all the memories of the past are given to the new soul, wouldn't it be equivalent to resurrection?"
In a sense, Master Haku succeeded. After each reincarnation of his soul, as the soul grows, a certain instrument will be activated, and then the memory of his previous life will be revived.
But in another sense, he failed completely.
Once you enter reincarnation, you are truly dead, and the new soul is a new life. Even if you read the memories of the previous life, it is like a first-person memory review. You are still watching other people's lives.
He has been successfully reincarnated for seventeen lives, but unfortunately, except for the memory of the first life that has been left to be filled repeatedly, the other sixteen lives still have to go through reincarnation, and the memories left behind can be completely ignored. He is still the same
The old house where I have lived in the institute all my life.
Even he himself was not sure how many times he had been reincarnated, and he was not even sure that he was really the reincarnation of the ancient sage. It was just that the memory transmission device detected souls with similar wavelengths and activated it sixteen times.
Well. At least in this way, the precocity of this little adult can be understood. He was able to create a mature artificial soul only because he activated his previous legacy.
In a sense, little Timiret is the protagonist of the popular time-travel novels. Not only does he carry a "grandpa" with him, but his parents are dead and he still has a sister who depends on each other for life. He is also destined to do something big.
.....Well, at least little Timmy can't think so much now. He is just a somewhat precocious child, and in order to protect his favorite sister, he is devoting himself wholeheartedly to the man named xt-2.
In the design of the mechanical puppet, we plan to take care of those pesky flies.
"It's a fulfilling life. It's a good thing that my sister is happy, but the war is just around the corner, and this city can still be so peaceful. How can everyone have so much trust in that Roland?"
Thinking of the man who always had a smile on his face, Timiret couldn't help but shudder. His racial talent "Type Zero Wisdom Pupil" was born to be able to see through all disguises and see the true nature of that person.
That day, when he opened the door and saw Roland for the first time, he was almost frightened to death.
"It's so terrible. Life and death exist simultaneously. Chaos and order have turned into one kind of blood. The body is outrageous, but the soul is even more incomprehensible."
Thinking of the black skeleton ghost, little Timmy shuddered.
"Countless paranoid and persistent soul fragments pieced together a normal soul. The power of the black skeleton dead pointed out the legendary Lord of Eternal Night. How could such an extremely evil existence be the legendary hero of this country?"
At that time, little Timmy was among the last transferred convoy. No one thought that little Timmy, who had two lifetimes of memories, would be the first person to recognize Lord Evernight.
"Hey, let's take it one step at a time. At least life is pretty good now. But if war breaks out... I really don't know why they are so confident. Is that Roland so trustworthy?"
The news of Roland's visit has come back - "The orc army is about to launch a winter offensive, and the Kingdom of Sluwell will be raided" has spread throughout the streets, which will undoubtedly make the already difficult winter even more difficult.
Unbearable.
The orcs' winter march was beyond common sense and unconvincing, and the raid across the terrain restrictions of the highlands was regarded as a joke by many northern nobles. Sluwell, as the person involved, did not take the messenger sent by the Lan Kingdom to report the news as a good intention.
The news that it expelled the Lan Kingdom messenger has spread.
And amid all the sarcasm, the people of Lan's trust in their lord is incomprehensible.
It is obvious that the orc army will not come until next year, but the people of the Lan Kingdom have already regarded the attack within the year as a given fact, and the preparations for the entire army are being carried out in an orderly manner.
On another level, the shadow of war is right in front of us. Donglan's various military regiments are reorganizing and preparing for war. Instead of panicking, the citizens are living their lives leisurely. There is even a grand festival today.
"Torch Festival? What a strange name."
Opening the window, the square was already crowded with people watching the parade. It is said that this festival is a traditional festival in the Sulfur Mountain City in the underground world. Every evening on this day, young unmarried men and women will put on black robes that cover their faces and wear
With fff battle flags and chains painted on them, he patrolled the streets looking for his "prey".
Yes, the prey, the prey of these FFF members are young "couples" making out in public!
During this long night, whenever you see an intimate couple, the black-robed fff hunter will catch them, and then tie the man to the stake... Of course, it's just a parade, and other fff members and passers-by can hit him with food.
It is not only a blessing for lovers, but also an expectation for a good harvest in the coming year. It has the same meaning as the harvest festival. Parading with torches and torture racks is actually the same thing as a float parade. It is completely in line with the customs and customs of various places.
It is said that this festival was pioneered by the Sleepless Man. The hunter who catches the most prey will receive official bonuses and awards. There is also an urban legend that the winning hunter is called the love hunter, and he will soon gain the love he dreams of.
!
In contrast, there is also an urban legend: "If the couple can survive the encirclement and suppression by the fff members, they will live with the blessing of the God of Love, and they will be together forever!"
Of course, in the eyes of most people, these legends are probably not very reliable. According to the guys in Sulfur Mountain City, the "love hunters" every year are either Adam or Sleepless Man himself, and they have never been seen to get out of singleness because of this.
But that romantic blessing from the God of Love has moved the hearts of countless girls, and many young men have also seized this opportunity and used it as an opportunity to muster up the courage to pursue their lovers.
"It's just a game. Maybe we can live to the end... If I live to the end, can you listen to my thoughts? Just listen. You don't need to answer. If you are willing to listen to me, I
I’m very satisfied!”
Okay. Escape from an attack together is undoubtedly a way to increase feelings. The success rate of confessing while taking advantage of the chaos is also higher than usual. If you successfully escape to the end, in a sense, you have succeeded in picking up girls.
The result was that someone was greatly disappointed. In his words, "There are so many instant lovers after this sacred barbecue day? Is the thief God really dead! These heretics must suffer the divine judgment of fire! Too much
It’s an eyesore. Next month is the moral integrity inspection month. Anyone who dares to have sex in the street will be fined!"
Well, the sleepless man's convulsions were stopped by the Four Heavenly Kings and his external conscience (Eliza) as always, but this interesting custom festival has been pursued and loved by countless young men and women.
With Princess Renee's permission, this year's event in Diefende even had an official background and was significantly larger in scale.
Little Timiret looked around from the window sill and saw a large number of men in black robes waving their sickles and torches or stretching their muscles in preparation for hunting. On the other side of the square, many young men and women were eager to try.
"Damn bitch man and woman!"
"It's so offensive to be intimate in front of me!"
Some spirit can be conveyed without saying much. Looking at those happy men and women, young and old, the new generation of fff members have already raised the torch in their hearts.
"Burn! Burn! Burn!"
No command was needed, the roars from the bottom of my heart became one, and the resentment in them was enough to move the world.
Of course, in this case, various soy sauces are indispensable.
"The fact that lazy Adam can win Margaret's favor is the magic of this festival. If you are single, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can gain half of your future."
This is a promotional slogan written by a certain prince himself, and underneath the slogan is the annual rental stall of his undead knights.
"Rent common tools such as torches, whips, racks, sickles, nooses, etc. for three copper coins a day! Glue, ink eggs, stink bombs are one copper coin each. In order to reward new and old customers, as long as you purchase more than 10 copper coins in our store,
The uniforms and battle flags of the fff regiment are free! What a great fff regiment."
Looking at the excited young man and woman, Timiret shook his head. This world was obviously too far away from him.
And just when he was about to close the door and study it carefully, he suddenly remembered something.
"Sister Dana should have left work long ago, why haven't you come back yet? Could it be..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, Timiret was shocked and took out a small instrument and quickly checked it.
This is a miniature positioning device, and at this time, the location indicated by the core bright spot is the square in front of you!
After being silent for a while, Timiret walked to the closet door, which was taller than him, and patted it gently. The closet door automatically moved without any wind.
It was a set of black robes, originally used by Timmy to participate in the choir. Timmy, who didn't like singing, didn't like this dress at first. At this time, the silent Timmy became more and more satisfied with this dress.
"Well, it's you!"
But looking at the black robe, little Timmy always felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he directly brushed with a red pen, and there were three more letters on the vest - fff!
"Ha, burn them!"
The childlike oath contained the determination to kill, but the countless resurrected machines in the room, and the artificial pupils flashing red and green, proved the boy's ability to fulfill the oath. (To be continued...)
ps: Well, if we wish everyone a happy BBQ holiday and a happy single life, will you be beaten on this day every year... Well, the squirrel didn't say anything. Happy Qiqi to everyone.
