"Backwardness and advancement coexist, great civilizations can only be recalled from paper, religious beliefs control everything, and civilization is built on ruins..." Igula said calmly: "This country is probably in the post-apocalyptic era." "This country should also be protected by the Lord God, right?" Harvey was a little surprised: "Will the Lord God watch the end of the world come?" "Yes..." Ash said very affirmatively: "If there hadn't been so many accidents, the Gospel Kingdom would have lost its gospel system and entered the countdown to the end of the world... For the Lord God, the end of the world is just an 'interval' lasting one or two hundred years, and civilization will recover sooner or later, just like you grow flowers and know that they will bloom again after withering, so you naturally won't care too much." "People who have seen angels have the confidence to make macro narratives, as if you have lived for hundreds of years." Igula mocked Ash, and then said: "Because of this, we may not need to escape from the Four Pillars of God." "Why?" Ash was stunned: "Do you think people after the end of the world will be particularly kind?" "I think people after the apocalypse will be particularly greedy." The Trickster smiled: "Wow, the social environment here is much better than the Gospel - greed is rampant, there are no rules, no supervision, only interests! Although this place is a little desolate, it is better for hunting than big cities, right?" "Besides, we have the bait they crave - advanced knowledge from other countries!" Ash patted the invincible cushion, and it was difficult to hold back the sarcasm in his words: "Are we advanced?" "There is no doubt that the great civilization that once existed here was probably the Fire Cat God Era, which was much more advanced than the Blood Moon Gospel. But it is precisely because of this that such a huge civilization gap has occurred," Igula said: "The people here are like a one-winged magician who got a four-winged magic spirit. They can't learn or decipher any technology tree from it, so they can only use the crudest way to borrow the power of the four-winged magic spirit - such as letting pack animals pull maglev trains and using the cushions in the mental ward as armor." "And they can't find resources from the ruins, their technology level is simply stuck in the early days of civilization - they can't even mass-produce the torture instruments to bind magicians!" Ash and Harvey were startled, and then they remembered that this was the first time they were captured but their magic power was not restricted - this was simply unimaginable treatment in Blood Moon and Gospel. If you think about it carefully, restricting magic power is actually a great test of the foundation of civilization, because magic power is invisible, and the instruments that bind magic power can only be made by the creator magician himself, which means a complete magician training system and a developed creation industry. In the post-apocalyptic era, most forces naturally find it difficult to meet these two conditions. Those "creation products" that are commonplace in stable societies may be rare and scarce goods here. "No wonder that person keeps asking me about the details of Gospel's life..." Ash murmured. "Even if we don't know the specific technical information, as long as we can explain the evolution process of the technology, it will be of great help to the people here." Igula said, "They are like magicians who have inherited the four-wing heritage, and they are only one or two wings now. We just need to describe the scenery of the three wings to them so that they don't go the wrong way, and they can inherit the great legacy faster." "So, there is room for cooperation between us and them, or we should say that there is room for cooperation with the woman who defeated Ash—she knows our value." "Since there is no limit on our magical power, we might as well wait until the incident happens before resisting, and before that we can try to find opportunities for cooperation. After all, this is a new world, and the best way to integrate here is to join one of the forces, just like we joined the Funeral." "More importantly," Igula paused, "Harvey and I are both three-wing magicians, but we haven't built a sanctuary yet. If we can buy enough time, we will be more confident in protecting you from leaving—" "Ah, I'm actually already a sanctuary magician." Ash said, "but like you, I haven't built a sanctuary yet." It took Igula and Harvey several minutes to accept that Ash had climbed to the Far Away Space without any "cheating". But looking at their expressions, Ash always felt that they would press their heads into the toilet to drink water while he was sleeping. Ash quickly changed the subject: "So, do we really have to cooperate with the Four Pillars?" "Why not?" Igula tilted his head slightly: "Compared to the Fire Temple, we are more familiar with the Four Pillars, right?" Ash understood that Igula was right. Since there were people in the Four Pillars who wanted to cooperate with them, it was the best choice for them to take this opportunity to understand this world. Even if they didn't want to cooperate, they could delay time and pretend to be friendly until the three of them built the Sanctuary as a tactical weapon, and then they could directly kill the Four Pillars. Harvey didn't care about the Four Pillars at all. He had no resistance to cooperating with the abyss monsters. And Igula regarded the Four Pillars as his second choice. After all, the Weaving Ceremony predicted that he would become the leader of the Four Pillars, the Rusty Crow. Igula naturally wanted to gain some management experience here, and might even want to usurp the Four Pillars. Ash had long seen that Igula's material desires were not high. He pursued the pleasure of challenging high-difficulty frauds, especially the madness of walking between life and death, which could best stimulate the pituitary gland of the fraudster. A social environment like the post-apocalyptic era was simply a big playground for him. Harvey was the same. He longed for a curtain call. In stable societies like the Blood Moon Gospel, he could only get such an opportunity by committing crimes, but here, perhaps he could complete his magician manual in the next second. In this psychiatric ward, except for himself, there was no wrong person imprisoned. But the other two probably thought so too. But Ash himself didn't want to get involved in the Four Pillars. Both Hiss and Eternal Tribulation brought too much trouble to Ash. He even formed a concept that getting close to the Four Pillars would make him unlucky. If possible, he still wanted to get away from these guys as soon as possible, even if it meant picking up cardboard boxes and sleeping under the overpass. But compared with Igula's thorough consideration, this "cowardly" reason was really hard to say. And Ash also had to consider the thoughts of the two of them. They had always been accommodating to him before, and now it was his turn to accommodate them. Ash took a deep breath, calmed his uneasy mood, sat down next to the cushion, and turned the Gospel Ring. There was no response. Sure enough, if you leave the radiation range of the Gospel spirit, you can't summon the Gospel. This ring is useless... Although he thought so, Ash didn't take it off, just treat it as a souvenir from the Gospel. So what was the souvenir he took away from the Blood Moon? Igula and Harvey? In his wild thoughts, Ash summoned the "Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual". Without the blessing of the Gospel Book, the image quality of the game interface has returned to the level of door lock photography. Unless Ash can find better audio and video equipment here, he will not be able to enjoy the high-definition pictures of Sword Princess. After taking the source crystal as a sign-in reward, Ash looked at the "Operator Search". Since we can only wait, let's draw cards! "'For the Blue and Clear World' Limited Search (Thanksgiving feedback event ten weeks after the launch)" "The probability of obtaining limited operators 'Orchid Weisser', 'Purple Resentment Shadow Princess', and 'Blood Hidden Queen' has increased↑↑" "The probability of obtaining limited costumes 'Christmas Gift·Sword Princess', 'Moon Star Swimsuit·Sword Princess', 'Rain Queen·Witch', and 'Christmas Gift·Witch'↑↑" "Ended at:00" Ten weeks? Ash calculated and found that he had really traveled through ten weeks. But this event is too weird: you are not giving out source crystals and characters as a thank you reward, but giving out another limited event! ? Who is being thankful and who is giving back? The operator 'Confused Girl' and the costume 'Flower Bride· Sword Princess' that appeared in the last search event did not appear. Instead, three new operators and Sword Princess and Witch costumes appeared - thank you Aurora. This time, the End Watcher costume finally did not appear. But this Christmas gift... Ash curled his lips. There is no Christmas here. Isn't this a costume that is completely inconsistent with the world view! Wait, is there a bride in this world? Oh, that's fine. Like before, there is no preview of the costume, so Ash was very curious. Is it the operator who gave the Christmas gift, or is he dressing himself up as a Christmas gift? The Moon Star Swimsuit and the Rain Queen look good. As long as there is no Watcher costume in the card pool, Ash will not lose no matter how much he draws! Another thing that caught people's attention was... Ash looked at the limited operator 'Lane Weisser' and felt a little strange. All other operators were called by code names, but why did she appear directly by name? Could she be a main plot character? "Here." Ash and Harvey took the chocolate bar thrown by Igula, tore open the package and bit off a piece to replenish calories. While eating, Harvey suddenly said, "Alice said she doesn't like staying in the Four Pillars." Your Alice is still in the coffin, the coffin is still in the space card, and the space card is in your bag. How did you communicate with Alice through three thick barriers... Igula took a light bite, tore off a piece with a snap, and said while eating, "No matter which country, the dead have no right to vote." "However," he paused, "we don't have to cooperate with the Four Pillars." "As long as there is a chance to leave this room, then we will find a way to escape from the Four Pillars, and then find other forces with better reputations to cooperate with, which is also a good choice... What do you think?" Noticing that Igula and Harvey were looking at him, Ash blinked, used his tongue to roll the sweetness of chocolate into his stomach, and nodded heavily: "I want to leave as soon as possible." "Agreed." Igula said in a light tone: "Then it's settled." -------Digression------- ps: 8 o'clock, my 8 o'clock! 70
