After Keus left, Lorraine Hill sat in this small room, untied the string on the document bag, took out the stacks of yellowed pages, and started to read through it carefully.
It seems that these pages are not the original ones, but were copied by people later. But thinking about it, they are probably kept in the safest place and are generally not taken out. As long as the records of such things are true, the originals are not original.
It's not that big of a difference.
Most of them are scattered records, but only one of them is carefully bound together.
--------
Where does the chaotic vortex come from, where does it lead, and what kind of monsters are those twisted shadows? This is what scholars of all ages have wanted to know.
As the scepter priest of the Bronze Candle Palace in the church, I have more opportunities to come into contact with those classics than many of my colleagues. In my spare time at work, I read almost all the treasured classics in the church. Except for a few that are exclusive to the Pope.
Except for the secret notes, I have reviewed them all in detail.
I have to say that during the period of chaos and disaster more than a thousand years ago, the confusion of historical data is unimaginable today. All kinds of daydreams and inferences were mixed with the true and one-sided records, and it was unclear. I spent nearly 40 years
, and then slowly removed all kinds of unsupported, contradictory, and inconsistent information from the vast sea of text, and then gradually pieced together the broken information into a vague pattern.
Where does the vortex of chaos come from?
This problem dates back to the unknown gap after the Twilight Age and before the Age of Dragons and Giants. Although there is no record of its cause, it can be inferred that it must be related to the ancient people, who have strength that we can hardly imagine until now.
And where does the vortex lead?
Many people say that the bottom is a lightless hell filled with sins, the other side of time and space, another world. But the only one who truly entered the vortex and returned. Although she did not say it explicitly, the heroes around her at that time
I once recalled that after the archangel returned, he only felt more lost and silently sad.
Maybe it's not a lifeless and lightless hell, but it still can't be called a wonderful world.
What exactly is the Twisted Shadow of Chaos?
This issue has the most misunderstandings and the most explanations. There are various inferences, such as the darkness of human nature, unconscious chaos, lost and fallen souls, people abandoned by God, etc.
But putting aside these factors about the soul and good and evil, if we explain it purely from the perspective of power and extraordinary systems, they are undoubtedly a special form of 'virus'. This 'virus' will infect the surroundings and gradually destroy the surrounding environment.
But in order for it to proliferate, it must have the existence of a soul.
As we all know, the higher the level of intelligence, the stronger the soul, and intelligent beings such as humans, orcs, and elves are its prey and food.
They will fundamentally destroy a person's consciousness or soul, causing it to become irreversibly disordered and distorted, and finally break into scattered, unconscious, twisted, and new chaotic phantoms. In other words, these chaotic phantoms are originally
They are all the souls of intelligent creatures, that is, the residue of human nature.
After determining its essence, it must be easy to guess where those ancient people who disappeared went.
Although it is not 100% correct, at least a considerable part, even 99% of the ancient people fell into this strange 'virus'.
Didn't ancient people resist and resist?
There must be some, and those resistances turned into reality are probably the origins of angels.
As a life that places special emphasis on the purity of the soul, their existence seems to be to turn their souls into transparent and flawless bricks, and then build an indestructible crystal castle from them.
One is turbid, the other is clear, one is scattered, and the other is solid, just like the two poles of concepts, opposing each other.
Was the angel's behavior successful?
Although I admire those ancient people who found new ways to create such an extraordinary sequence, I still have to admit that the angels still failed.
Maybe they have a qualitative advantage, but compared to enemies who are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands times stronger, their resistance is just a drop in the bucket.
I guess that the birth of an angel is not easy, but very difficult, so much so that many ancient people disappeared from the world before they had time to take this path.
Later research further supported my conjecture.
The emotions of low-level angels are not 'lively' or very rigid. They seem to lack some emotions. Although this allows them to maintain themselves when facing the phantom of chaos, this method is extremely blunt and rejects everything and only believes.
The orders of high-ranking angels are like those fanatical believers who have no ability to think. They believe whatever some priests say.
For pastors, this is a comfortable thing, but for themselves, this may not be a good thing. It means losing themselves.
We have no way of knowing whether these large numbers of low-level angels voluntarily become like this or are forced to become like this. But what is certain is that this is indeed effective. If one day in the future, the world once again falls into an irreversible crisis, we
The church will also have to consider whether to take similar measures.
Not all lives can maintain courage and rationality in the face of fear and disaster, and in order to continue to survive as a species, we must not give up those effective extreme methods, even if we become sinners for the ages.
.....
Lorraine Hill kept flipping through the pages, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, until finally he sat at the desk, motionless.
She touched the dark words on the rough paper with her fingers, feeling a lot of emotions in her mind, but she didn't know where to put them.
Sighs, regrets, sadness, or loss for the past human beings, many complex emotions slowly reverberated in my mind and heart.
She once thought that maybe those angels were the remaining humans from a distant era, but she did not expect that this small expectation was also shattered. Many low-level angels may no longer be called alive.
They have no social skills, can't do things that have nothing to do with fighting, and don't have any other hobbies, even joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
Only those few Seraphs still retained their wisdom and emotions, but they also fell in the disaster of chaos, fell silent, and were seriously injured.
After looking through the most important records, there is not much new information in the remaining information. What is described in it is nothing more than some supplements, or reference sources for this information, etc.
Finally, at the end of the material, a piece of tissue paper fell from it.
Lorraine Hill picked up this shabby piece of paper, which contained several things that had been excavated in the Dusk Ruins. Unfortunately, these things are now preserved in the Pope's Hall and cannot be seen by ordinary people.
Among them was an entity that looked familiar to the girl, a three-dimensional, divided and extremely standard prismatic cylinder. If you guessed correctly, this cylinder should also be a device for storing data in a base in the twilight era.
It seems that we have to seek accommodation from the current Pope, but has the Pope been elected now?
Lorraine Hill slowly closed the page in his hand and thought about the current situation of the church.
