This magical spell performed by the angel gave Gallo a strange feeling.
This magic made him feel somewhat familiar, and he felt that he should be able to do it too?
But he didn't know what this magic was, nor what its specific effects were.
This is a very contradictory situation. Logically speaking, if the angel can do it, he should also be able to do it, just like the angel before used those eighth-level magic.
What's more, the angel also clearly said the words 'claim in the name of Gallo'.
It can be deduced from this that the level of this divine spell must be extremely high, and it must have surpassed the eighth-level divine spell. Even in this era, it cannot be used at will.
But whether it was the ninth level or the tenth level, Gallo couldn't tell.
However, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have cast a similar magical spell when the church was besieged by the Morning Star Sect.
That magic also led down a beam of light from the sky, and then caused all the star angels who looked directly at it to fall into madness.
But other than this, there seems to be no other common ground between the two. Of course, maybe Gallo didn't realize it.
He had no choice but to turn his attention back to his memories.
After the angel used magic, he drew a square on this barren land. Its area was very large, about the size of a small city.
After worshiping for a while, the believers below also got busy. They went to the nearby woods to cut down trees, went to the surrounding rivers to collect stones, and followed the angel's instructions to start building a city here.
Everyone worked tirelessly and enthusiastically.
At the end of this memory, they built a wooden fence along the square drawn by the angel with great efficiency to serve as a city wall, and built a very simple and primitive church using stones and earth.
Although it is crude, it can be regarded as the embryo of a city.
There are many people who have temporarily left here and gone to other surrounding forces to purchase more tools and materials and recruit more manpower.
Everything seems to be prosperous and prosperous.
The angel behaved quite casually in this process.
Sometimes He would float in the sky in a daze, as if he was thinking about something, or peeping at the beautiful girl who let Him.
Sometimes he would leave briefly, as if to eliminate nearby threats.
Occasionally, He would land and wander around the city.
Finally, the city was named ‘Avalon’ by Him, which, according to His explanation, means ‘the final pure land of this world’
At this point, this long memory finally ended. Gallo broke away from that period of history, but did not return to the white space, but woke up directly in reality.
I looked out the window and saw that it was already bright. I watched this memory all night without realizing it.
Next to her, Lilian was huddled on the floor, sleeping soundly with the hammerhead shark doll tightly in her arms.
Gallo smiled and poked her little face, then got up and went to the library in the church.
In the library, he found a map of the continent, opened it, looked at it carefully, and made gestures on it with his fingers for a while.
By comparing it with the map he saw in his memories, he discovered that the road Victor and the others took was from the hinterland of the current empire, to the north into the ruins of the ruins, and then down south, finally arriving at the Innocence City.
Although there had been some speculation before, Gallo was still slightly surprised when the suspicion was finally confirmed.
Did the City of Innocence exist so early?
Was that dangerous and mysterious ghost place in the Ruin Wasteland so lively and prosperous back then?
After calming down, he quickly pulled out a brief history of the empire, as well as the personal chronicles, local chronicles, memoirs and other materials of the Innocence City from the bookshelf, and checked them carefully.
According to these historical data, about two hundred years ago, there was a young country count named Old Victor. His territory was remote and barren, and it was located on the border of the empire. He was often disturbed by bandits and foreigners, and his life was extremely poor.
He inherited the title from his father, Old Victor, who was a mid-level officer in the Empire's Unification War and earned this title through military exploits.
War honors like this are often sent to remote areas by the empire, which is known as: 'inheriting the glory of the ancestors'
Even those heroes and generals who have made great military exploits are no exception.
It is a pity that nobles like this often cannot inherit the glory of their ancestors. They generally yearn for the upper class society, and often sharpen their heads to climb up. They will set their whole life, or even the mission of the entire family, on the goal of entering the upper class society.
They always rely on the fact that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In order to get into the real upper class circles, they will do whatever they can to exploit the people's wealth and support, all for the sake of advancement.
But this old Victor has greater ambitions. He has no interest in the so-called upper class of the empire. Instead, he sells off his property and raises weapons and armors. As an excuse to "defend border raids and expand territory for the empire", he vigorously
Expand the private army.
He even sold his father's military medals...
After selling all his family property, he went to lobby various forces, using the excuse of expanding the empire's territory, asking various people to borrow money and food.
At that time, the empire as a whole encouraged nobles to expand their territories. Many border country nobles changed their classes in this way, and a considerable part of the empire's territory was obtained in this way.
Relying on the connections left by his father, Old Victor also borrowed a lot of resources.
But he didn't take much action. He kept recharging his energy and continued to borrow money. In the end, he was in debt, his family was destitute, and he didn't see his next move.
According to his own statement in his memoirs, he had no idea how much bad debt he owed at the time. People all over the world didn't believe him and gave him the stigmatized title of "Country Lao Lao".
However, he really invested all these resources in building up the military, and forcibly built a strong private army in a remote rural area. This gave many investors confidence, and also made many creditors dare not speak out.
Throughout his life, he never stepped out of his own territory, but spent his whole life working hard to raise a strong army.
It was not until his son, Jeff Victor, inherited the title that he began to fulfill his long-cherished wish inherited from his grandfather.
This powerful army, which had inherited the blood of three generations, swept across the border with a devastating force as soon as it went out. They circled the periphery of the ruins and all the way to where the Innocence City is now.
According to the records in memoirs and local chronicles, the Innocence City at that time was a foreign settlement that did not even have a name. Some of the wreckage and ruins of the city can be seen vaguely, but overall, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a barren land.
Then Jeff Victor occupied this place, wiped out the various forces entrenched around it, and took the opportunity to expand the territory outwards, laying down the current border of the empire.
With this military exploit, he won the appreciation of the imperial royal family and regained the trust of some wealthy people. Everyone contributed money and efforts to build the current city here.
Jeff Victor named this place 'Innocent City' and became the first city lord.
Today, there is no need to elaborate on the prosperity of the Innocence City, and the investors who originally invested in the Victor family have also made a lot of money. The old Victor's behavior of working hard and working hard is even more admired by the world.
For a good story.
However, in these materials, the first city lord never clearly stated why he named this place the ‘City of Innocence’.
Many people speculate and speculate in various annotations in historical materials that they probably think that he hoped that the city could develop into a paradise without sin. This is a beautiful message.
But Gallo had other ideas...
He always felt that the actions of three generations of Victor's family had a hint of atonement? And the name of this city in the end was actually promoting to the world the feeling of: 'I have redeemed my sins'.
But the Victor family does not believe in any sect. It is said that this is the ancestral motto of their family and they cannot believe in any sect.
Therefore, Gallo's speculation is actually not supported by objective evidence, and it feels a bit wild.
But he doesn't know why, but he firmly believes in his own judgment.
When he was checking this piece of information, he even felt deeply moved in his heart, and without even realizing it, he whispered to himself:
"Ah...yeah, you did it..."
"Sorry, it took me so long to see you..."
These words were his unconscious babble. He didn't even realize what he said. It wasn't until he felt his face was a little hot and reached out to touch it that he realized that tears had flowed out unknowingly.
"Eh? What's wrong with me?"
"I..."
Gallo fell silent, composed himself, then found the ancient Chinese dictionary, opened Old Old Old Victor's diary again, and turned directly to the last page.
"Sure enough, I have already finished reading this diary."
When he noticed that the memories were extraordinarily long, he had guessed that this was probably because the angel was always with Victor, so the memories would not be interrupted and would continue until the last page.
Gallo wanted to know what happened next, so he decided to visit the chamber of commerce where he bought the notes later to see if he could find the collector who consigned the notes.
So he left the library and planned to bake himself two potatoes for breakfast.
But as soon as he walked into the garden, he saw Amiya carefully taking care of the flower of hope.
Seeing Gallo coming over, Amiya temporarily put down the work at hand, walked over quickly, and gave him a solid hug.
Her body was still soft, but her body temperature was lower than usual.
Only then did Gallo notice that the magic that blessed her body had disappeared for some reason, and he was too busy sleeping to replenish her energy.
"Sorry, I didn't notice it before."
Gallo said, and began to add magical spells to Amiya to make her energetic again.
At the end, he pinched her cheek gently and said:
"I really thank you before."
He was talking about when he transformed into an angel.
After saying that, he felt a little more relaxed and immediately started talking nonsense again:
"Amiya is actually very cute. She is a very special girl and very obedient..."
"Come on, give me a hug!"
Although he said it unintentionally, Amiya obeyed the order obediently, gave him a big hug, twitched her rabbit ears, and gently rubbed Gallo's cheek, tickling him.
After roasting a few potatoes to satisfy his hunger, Gallo saw that the time was almost up, so he took Amiya with him and took a donkey cart to visit the Mysterious Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
Although the third crisis was very dangerous, the damage caused was not great. The entire city did not suffer from the depression and dilapidation after the second crisis, which made Gallo feel quite relieved.
My efforts are not in vain, I have protected our city very well!
Not long after, he arrived at the Chamber of Commerce. In order to show his identity and facilitate his work, he changed his robe into a shiny nouveau riche style in a deserted alley, and then walked in with Amiya.
Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, the people from the Chamber of Commerce recognized him as the rich man who spent 100,000 gold to buy antiques. He was warmly received and naturally provided the collector's address information.
So at about ten o'clock in the morning, Gallo came to the door of a mansion in a wealthy area.
After knocking on the door, a maid came to open the door, followed by the owner of the mansion, an old woman about 50 to 60 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and full of intellectual air.
"Hello, I'm here to visit Ms. Victor, the collector."
Gallo simply explained his purpose.
The old woman was holding a cup of coffee in her hand, stirring it gently. She looked him up and down, sneered at his glittering nouveau riche outfit, and said angrily:
"Sorry, I don't have a collection suitable for you."
It seems that he really regarded Gallo as a nouveau riche who came to buy antiques to show off his appearance.
Only then did Gallo notice that he had forgotten to change his clothes. He was very embarrassed, but he could not change his clothes in front of others, so he had to quickly take out the diary from his pocket and said:
"I want to buy the second diary, it will be of great help to me!"
When the old woman saw the diary, her eyes narrowed slightly and she replied:
"For you, this is just a novel story, not exciting, and has a long history. If you like similar stories, there are many on the street stalls, which should be more suitable for you."
Gallo suddenly became anxious and said quickly:
"I am not a nouveau riche. My name is Gallo, and I come from the Miya sect."
The old woman suddenly trembled, and she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. The coffee cup in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then walked in front of Gallo.
She took Gallo to the study, and after sending the maid away, she asked in an excited and trembling voice:
"You...no...you...are you Him?"
"I don't know, I can't tell clearly, so I want to see what's behind it."
Gallo replied sincerely.
The old woman inevitably showed a slightly disappointed look, but she still agreed to Gallo's request and found the next diary.
