The divine spell cast by the angel gave Gallo a strange feeling.
This magical technique made him feel somewhat familiar, and he felt that he should know it too
But he didn't know what this magical technique was, nor did he know what effect it had.
This is a very contradictory situation. Logically speaking, the angel can, and he should too, just like the angels performed those eighth-level magic spells earlier.
What's more, the angel clearly said the words 'declare in the name of Gallo'.
It can be inferred from this that the rank of this divine art must be extremely high, and it must have surpassed the eighth-order divine art. Even in this era, it cannot be cast at will.
But whether it is the ninth or tenth level, Gallo can't tell.
However, he vaguely remembered that when the church was besieged by the Venusian sect, he seemed to have cast a similar divine spell.
That magic technique also led down a beam of light from the sky, and then drove all the star envoys who were looking directly into madness.
But apart from this point, there seems to be nothing else in common between the two. Of course, Gallo may not have realized it.
He had to turn his attention back to the memory.
After the angel performed his 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 river to collect stones, and began to build the city here according to the angel's instructions.
Everyone worked tirelessly and enthusiastically.
At the end of this memory, they built a wooden fence along the square frame drawn by the angel with great efficiency as a city wall, and built a very simple and primitive church with stones and clods.
Although rudimentary, it can be regarded as the embryo of a city.
Many people left here temporarily to go to other surrounding forces to purchase more tools and materials and recruit more manpower.
Everything looks like a thriving and vigorous scene.
The angels behaved quite casually in this process.
He sometimes floats in the sky in a daze, as if thinking about something, or peeping at the beautiful girl who let him.
Sometimes they will leave briefly, as if to eliminate nearby threats.
Occasionally he landed and wandered about the city.
In the end, the city was named 'Avalon' by him, which, according to his interpretation, meant 'the ultimate pure land of this world'
At this point, this long period of memories finally came to an end. Gallo broke away from that period of history, but did not return to that white space, but directly woke up in reality.
Looking out of the window, the sky is already numbly bright, and I watched this memory all night without knowing it.
Lilian Luo next to her huddled on the floor, holding the hammerhead shark puppet tightly in her arms, and was fast asleep.
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 it up carefully, and even stroked it with his fingers for a while.
By comparing it with the map he saw in his memory, he discovered that the road that Victor and the others traveled was from the hinterland of the empire today, going north to the ruins wasteland, and then going south, and finally came to the city of innocence.
Although there were some speculations before, Gallo was still slightly surprised after the conjecture was finally confirmed.
Did the city of innocence exist so early
Was the dangerous and mysterious ghost place of the Ruin Wasteland so lively and prosperous back then
He settled down, and quickly found a brief history of the empire from the bookshelf, as well as the chronicles, local chronicles, memoirs and other materials of the city of innocence, and looked them up carefully.
According to these historical materials, about two hundred years ago, there lived a little country count named Old Victor. His territory was remote and barren, and it was located on the border of the empire.
He inherited the title from his father, Old Victor, and his father was a mid-level officer in the Imperial Unification War, and he earned this title by virtue of his military exploits.
Such nobles in wars are often sent to remote areas by the empire, and their good name is: 'inherit the glory of the ancestors'
Even those heroes and generals who have made great achievements in battle are no exception.
It's a pity that nobles like this often cannot inherit the glory of their ancestors. They generally yearn for the upper class, and they often sharpen their heads to climb up.
They are always relying on the heights of the sky and the emperor's distance, often in order to get into the real upper circles, they will do everything they can, and they will intensify the exploitation of the people's fat and anointing, everything is for the upward.
But this old Victor has even greater ambitions. He has no interest in the so-called upper class of the empire. Expand the private army.
He even sold his father's military medal...
After selling all his property, he went to lobby various forces, using the excuse of expanding the empire's territory, to find various people to borrow money and food.
In that era, 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 contacts left by his father, Old Victor also borrowed a lot of resources.
But he didn't take much action for a long time. He has been recharging his energy and borrowing money continuously. In the end, he was heavily in debt and his family was destitute, and he didn't see the next move.
According to his own statement in his memoirs, he didn't know how many bad debts he owed at the time, and people all over the world didn't believe him, and even gave him the stigmatized title of "country old man".
However, he really invested all these resources in the construction of military power, and forcibly pulled a strong private army in a remote area, which gave many investors confidence and 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 wasn't until his son, Jeff Victor, inherited the title that he began to fulfill the long-cherished wish inherited from his grandfather's generation.
This powerful army, which has inherited the hard work of three generations, swept across the border as soon as they went out. They circled the periphery of the ruins wasteland and came all the way to the place where the city of innocence is now.
According to memoirs and local chronicles, the Innocence City at that time was an alien settlement without even a name, and some wreckage and ruins of the city could be seen vaguely, but overall, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a barren land.
Then it was Jeff Victor who occupied this place, swept away the various forces entrenched in the surrounding area, and took the opportunity to continue to expand the territory, laying down the border of the empire today.
With these achievements, he won the appreciation of the imperial family and regained the trust of some wealthy people. Everyone contributed money and efforts to build the current city here.
Jeff Victor, who named this place 'City of Innocence', became the first city lord.
Today, there is no need to repeat the prosperity of Innocence City, and the investors who invested in the Victor family at the beginning also made a lot of money. It's a good story.
But in these materials, the first city lord never made it clear why he named this place 'City of Innocence'
Many people speculate that, in the various annotations on historical materials, they probably think that he hopes that this city can develop into a paradise without evil, which is a beautiful message.
But Gallo had something else in mind...
He always felt that the actions of the three generations of Victor's family carried a sense of redemption? And the name of the last city is 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 cranky.
But for some reason, he himself believed in his own judgment very firmly.
When he was looking at this piece of information, he was even deeply moved, and without realizing it, he murmured to himself:
"Ah yes, you did it..."
"Sorry, it's been so long since I saw..."
These words were his unconscious ramblings, he didn't even notice what he said, until he felt his face was a little hot, and reached out to touch it, only to realize that tears flowed unconsciously.
"Huh? What's wrong with me?"
"I... "
Gallo fell silent, gathered himself together, went to find the ancient language dictionary, opened old old old old Victor's diary again, and turned directly to the last page.
"Sure enough, I have finished reading this diary."
When he found that the memory was extremely long before, he guessed this situation, probably because the angel has been with Victor all the time, so the memory will not be interrupted until the last page.
Gallo really 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, intending to bake himself two potatoes for breakfast.
But as soon as he walked into the garden, he saw Amiya taking care of the flowers of hope carefully.
Seeing Gallo approaching, Amiya temporarily put down the work at hand, walked over quickly, and gave him a firm hug.
Her body was still soft, but her body temperature was lower than usual.
It was only then that Jia Luo noticed that the magical spells that had been blessed on her had disappeared for some reason, and he was too busy sleeping to replenish her energy.
"Sorry, didn't notice that before."
As Gallo said, he began to use magic spells on Amiya to make her refreshed again.
At the end, he gently pinched her face and said:
"Before, thank you very much."
He was talking about when he turned into an angel.
After all, his mood relaxed a little, and his mouth immediately started talking nonsense again:
"Amiya is actually very cute, she is a very special girl, and she is very obedient..."
"Come on, give me a hug!"
Although he said it unintentionally, Amiya obediently obeyed the order and gave him a big hug. She even shook her rabbit ears and rubbed against Gallo's cheek, making him itchy.
He casually baked a few potatoes to satisfy his hunger. Gallo saw that the time was almost up, so he took Amiya with him to visit the Mystic Treasure Chamber of Commerce in a donkey cart.
Although the third crisis was very dangerous, it did not cause much damage. The whole city did not have the depression and dilapidation after the second crisis, which made Gallo quite relieved.
Hard work paid off, I have protected our city well!
Not long after, he came to the chamber of commerce. In order to show his identity and handle affairs conveniently, he specially changed his teaching gown into a glittering nouveau riche style in a deserted alley, and then walked in with Amiya.
Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, people from the chamber of commerce recognized him as the local rich man who spent 100,000 gold to buy antiques, and received a warm reception. It was no problem to provide the collector's address information.
So Gallo arrived in front of a mansion in a rich area around ten o'clock in the morning.
After knocking on the door, a maid came to open the door, followed by the owner of the mansion, an old woman about 5 or 60 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, full of intellectual aura.
"Hi, I'm here to visit Ms. Victor the Collector."
Gallo simply explained the purpose of his visit.
The old woman was holding a cup of coffee in her hand and was stirring it gently. She took a look at him, sneered at his shining golden upstart outfit, and said angrily:
"Sorry, I don't have any collections suitable for you here."
It seems that Gallo is really regarded as a nouveau riche who comes to buy antiques for appearance.
Only then did Gallo realize that he had forgotten to change his clothes, and he was very embarrassed, but he couldn't change in front of outsiders, so he quickly took out the diary from his pocket and said:
"I want to buy the diary in the back, it will help me a lot!"
Seeing the diary, the old woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and 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 stall, it should be more suitable for you."
Gallo suddenly became a little anxious, and said quickly:
"I'm not an upstart, my name is Gallo, and I'm from the Miya sect."
The old woman trembled suddenly, and she froze in place as if she was about to be 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 the door facing Jia Luo.
She took Jia Luo to the study, and after dismissing the maid, she asked in an excited and trembling voice:
"You... no... you... are you He?"
"I don't know, and I can't tell, so I want to read the rest."
Gallo replied sincerely.
The old woman inevitably showed some disappointment, but she agreed to Gallo's request and found the next diary.
