A line of text that suddenly appeared on the "Chronicle", a city-state that no one knew, a battle that no one knew, a failure and sacrifice that no one knew - a history that does not exist in anyone's memory, what is left to the world after its demise
Only a trace remains.
And even this extremely brief sentence may have been transmitted to the real world by countless fire bearers at the cost of their lives.
After hearing what Morris said, Duncan was stunned for a moment and then fell into thinking.
The Church of the Firebringer... He knew the general situation of this sect.
After learning about the existence of the "Four Gods Faith" in this world, he became very interested in these gods who had a huge impact on the operation of the world, and the book that Morris sent before happened to have many references to the Four Gods.
As for the content of the church, he learned about the churches of the four major gods, and among the four gods' beliefs, the "Fire Bearer" was the most special one in his opinion.
The core of the belief of the Fire Bearers, or their "beliefs", is completely different from that of the believers of the other three gods. The storm, wisdom and death followed by the believers of the other three gods are relatively easy to understand concepts, while the concepts of the Fire Bearers are relatively easy to understand.
What I am following... is the more elusive thing called "history".
History is the memory of civilization, which is passed down from generation to generation in the passage of time - this is the core of the belief of the fire bearers. They believe that civilization started with "fire" and continues to this day with "fire" as a symbol, and there are countless people in the world.
The threats of the Qing Dynasty are trying to interfere or distort the transmission of this fire. It is their mission to confront these threats and ensure the stable continuation of the fire of civilization.
Firebearers follow and worship Tarijn, the Everburning Fire, a giant who stood at the beginning of civilization. It is said that he preserved and guarded the first bonfire lit by mortals and turned the bonfire into himself.
As part of his body, he discerned the correct history from the leaps and branches of the flames, and imprinted it on his body. As civilization continued to advance, this giant became larger and larger, and when he grew to his limit,
The civilization of mortal mortals will gain true security. No one can threaten the correct continuation of history, and even subspace cannot annihilate civilization.
This is the original text in the book sent by Morris, and it is also the most important passage in the Fire Bible held by the Fire Bearer.
In Duncan's view, the last part of these descriptions may just be the thoughts of believers and a pie painted by the church. The credibility is open to question, but the descriptions of "Firebringers guarding history" should all be true.
History can be polluted, and nature can be protected, and vice versa.
"...So they did this just once that year..." Duncan suddenly muttered thoughtfully.
"What did you say?" Morris didn't react for a moment, "You did it once that year? What does this mean..."
"It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself," Duncan shook his head slightly and looked at the old gentleman in front of him seriously, "The information you brought is very important."
"The information I brought?" Morris was a little confused. "You mean the third record I just mentioned? The summons that appeared on the Firebringer Chronicle?"
Duncan nodded slightly, then suddenly frowned: "But there is one thing I'm curious about. Does Black Sun have the authority to pollute history?"
"This..." Morris hesitated, obviously this was beyond his scope of knowledge as a "historical expert", "I'm not very clear about the authority of the Black Sun. This is probably only for those experts who specialize in fighting evil gods.
You will understand, but based on what I know, Black Sun should not theoretically have this ability..."
Duncan nodded thoughtfully, while Morris looked uneasily at the "subspace shadow" in front of him who seemed to be thinking.
This "Mr. Duncan" has always been very polite and patient. He discusses academic issues with himself, asking questions and thinking from time to time. The atmosphere is just like the last time he visited an antique store, but phantoms appear in his mind from time to time.
And the noise still reminded Maurice that he was walking on the edge of an abyss.
"Mr. Duncan" seems to be interested in the fire bearer and in "the pollution and protection of history". Why is this? Is this existence suspected of coming from subspace planning something? The God of Wisdom, Lachem Jean
Did he stay in contact with him to obtain information in this area? What is the relationship between this subspace shadow and the God of Wisdom? Is it some kind of confrontation?
Are you participating in a game between gods? Are you now acting as the God of Wisdom's "eyes and ears" to spy on your opponents?
Numerous and confusing thoughts were rising and falling in Morris's mind, and he became more and more cautious. After realizing the "role" he might assume, he even felt a sense of mission, feeling that Lachem seemed to be the one.
Standing behind him, he was observing "Mr. Duncan" in front of him through his own eyes.
While the old gentleman was thinking wildly, Duncan finally ended his meditation. The latter suddenly raised his head and muttered with half curiosity and half emotion: "Speaking of which, those 'Sun Heretics' have done so many things, and yet they are still active."
To this day... haven't the normal people in various city-states ever thought of completely wiping out these lunatics?"
"It's not easy to wipe out an evil sect." Morris woke up from his thoughts and shook his head subconsciously. "Heretical beliefs are like mercury entering the body, permeating everywhere. No matter how many are eliminated, new ones will always emerge. In the final analysis, this
It's because the gods behind them are still active - as long as the corresponding evil gods are still there, the pollution and infiltration of mortals will never stop. You know, even if all the adults in a city-state die, only
Even among the purest newborns, those with bewitched minds will naturally appear..."
Morris said and shook his head: "Some people just live a good life and have been diligent and honest people for most of their lives, but only because of a weakness in a certain setback, a glimmer of fear, or seeing
Seeing things that you shouldn't see, hearing things that you shouldn't understand, you become a minion of a heresy overnight. Your mind is filled with forbidden knowledge, you put on a black robe and become a follower of the evil god. This kind of heresy is corrupted.
How can I clean it up?”
Speaking of this, the old gentleman glanced at Duncan subconsciously again, and his eyes became a little strange.
Duncan looked confused: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Forgive me for the offence," Maurice took a breath and mustered up his courage, "but shouldn't you be well aware of this...corruption that occurs among mortals?"
Duncan didn't react at first. It took him two seconds to understand what the other party meant. He suddenly looked helpless: "I don't do this - I am usually very law-abiding. When I see a cultist, I will take the initiative to find the nearest police officer."
Reported.”
Morris: "…….?"
The old man obviously held back a lot of words for a moment, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Duncan felt that this topic was a bit crooked, and quickly put his foot down before the other party spoke: "I understand what you mean, that is, the believers of the evil god in the world are just 'appearances', and the biggest problem is that the evil god cannot be eliminated in its true form, so they
The pollution of the sun is like a poison, constantly spawning one after another of cultists, and the guardians can't clean it out after ten thousand years of fighting... But is the influence of the black sun really that strong? I've seen that unlucky guy,
He is almost dead. Not to mention intervening in the world, he has to rely on returning light to speak to me. Can this also pollute the human world?"
The corner of Morris' mouth suddenly trembled: "No matter how bad Black Sun is, it's still in your eyes. We... are all just fragile mortals..."
Duncan felt an unspeakable strangeness in his heart. He wanted to tell the old man on the spot, "I am also a human being. Look at what makes me not human." However, after thinking about the old man's physical and mental health, he was too embarrassed to say this.
…
Morris, on the other hand, seemed to think of something after subconsciously expressing his thoughts. He paused for a moment and added: "But your doubts may also point to the key to the problem. If the state of the Black Sun is really as bad as you said, He
The pollution to the world really shouldn't be so strong, at least it shouldn't make the Sun Heresy so troublesome... Maybe all of this is related to those beings called 'Children of the Sun'.?"
"Heir of the Sun..." Duncan murmured thoughtfully, and his mind couldn't help but think of the tall, dark figure that had appeared in Shirley's dream before.
Although there was no clear evidence, he always felt that that thing was probably related to the legendary "Children of the Sun".
The Black Sun has rejoiced and is no longer able to shine on the world. However, the descendants of the Black Sun have continued to this day. On the other hand, they have continued the influence of the Black Sun. As a result, the Sun Cultists cannot be eliminated, and their harm has become more and more serious.
big.
But here, one problem remains unresolved:
Black Sun has no ability to pollute history, and certainly his descendants cannot.
However, in the early days of the new city-state calendar, the news from the city-state "Wilhelm" that was forgotten by history said that "the black sun has descended from history." Today's Pland city-state also shows signs of historical pollution.
What's going on?
Could it be...who is "helping" Black Sun to resurrect from history?
