Hallett Dam, in the language of the ancients, means "sage".
In the ancient times, it was once a prominent civilization. They were a branch of the ancient human beings, but from a certain point, they became the mainstream.
"Colossus civilization", "The age of miracle creation with gears and steam intertwined", "The incredible world when everyone is a wise man", their nicknames and reputations are numerous. In that distant era, they and their creations once spread throughout the whole country. world.
With advanced civilization metals, they conquered the whole world. The huge floating island and cloud tower make the sky no longer a secret place. The island turtle entrusted with the huge barrier is a beautiful underwater city. The huge Titan Golem is just a Guardians of the homeland, even the dragons are humbled by their wisdom and power.
Even today. The floating island of the winged man, the floating battleship of the Oran Empire, and the Colossus Legion of the Solo Federation, all of which have more or less the shadow of this race.
Modern engineering and alchemy all regard him as the ancestor, and the ruins of Harleth Dam have always been the focus of competition among various countries. After all, no one knows whether a newly discovered ruin is sleeping and is about to change the world. Important technology.
At their peak, they even dared to argue with the gods about the truth and truth, and why such a powerful civilization is gone has always been a mystery of history. There are studies and textual research on documents from various countries, but once it is specific to the past history and extinction , but always inexplicably vague.
"Great cataclysm? Alien invasion? Ice age coming again? Destructive virus plague? Version update? No, the reason is actually very simple, they stepped on the line!"
For some beings, the cause of Harleitdam's demise is not only not a secret, on the contrary, it is a warning, warning them that some things can be done, and some things can't be touched or thought.
"Maybe you can be as powerful as the gods, but please don't really step into the gods' domain, at least, don't let the guys above your head see it."
Harlight Dam was destroyed by God's Punishment. This is not a big secret. At the entrance of the Spiral Tower, which only the strong can reach, there is a stone tablet with ancient characters inscribed on it. supreme crime.
"The immortality of the whole family, the artificial soul, the creation of life."
These are the three forbidden sins hated by the gods, and the proud Harleit-Dum did indeed step into the realm of the creator, and was punished by the gods for this.
But this is undoubtedly just a superficial view, what "the endlessly multiplying clansmen will eventually exhaust all the resources in this world", but in the eyes of people with hearts, they have only one crime.
"They broke the cycle."
When the death rate dropped drastically, no new souls entered the Styx River and the Pillar of Heaven, and when artificial souls and life-creation technologies could produce new races, the original cycle of reincarnation was naturally broken.
Undoubtedly, this touched the bottom line of the two sleepers, so God's punishment came, and they were wiped out because of it, everything was so simple.
In order to prevent these technologies from being discovered again, the black tombstone outside the Tongtian Tower always reminds the mortal strong that some things are absolutely untouchable.
Therefore, even if someone discovers a shortcut to immortality, they would never dare to use it for mass production of immortals. The artificial soul and artificial body reconstruction technology, the second of the three original sins, have been lost for many years.
Of course, where there is oppression, there will be resistance there. The more the gods are under the pressure, it is not uncommon for the dead to cross the line.
Although the Church of the Holy Church used the hat of heresy to execute many people, the real heresy is also indispensable. The more prohibited things are, the easier it is to arouse curiosity. After so many years, I don’t know how many alchemists who challenged their lives were burned to death. , many of them are the backbone of the church, after all, immortality is a sweet bait that people cannot refuse.
And the last madman closest to the red line should be me, but the goal of pursuing immortality itself is inconsistent with other predecessors, so my approach is very different.
"When the eternal night falls, the living will withdraw from the stage of history, and only the dead will survive in this world!"
If the kingdom of the dead is established, and all the living are transformed into the dead, then reincarnation will naturally become a joke, and it can be regarded as saving the world in disguise.
Every time I think of my second speech, I seem to have seen that shameful and dark history, and I secretly sigh that I was fortunately reined in the precipice. If the kingdom of the dead is really built, I am afraid that it will be the time when God’s punishment will come. .
Afterwards, Ayer also confirmed my speculation in person. It was impossible for the gods to watch the world of the dead build.
However, the enemy is opposed to the reasons for natural objection. These three technologies have great potential. I have been researching them and have already achieved certain results.
But I'm not foolish enough to come up with the finished product to offend the gods, well, the Seven Deadly Sins did touch some existential sensibilities, but the fact that I didn't have a large-scale fabrication made them relieved.
I am afraid that I have been on their vigilance list all the year round. If I do not start with creating powerful individual creatures, but go directly to the immortality of all members and the whole family like some undead kings, I am afraid that the trouble in the sky should be straight down.
Of course, I am not the only heresy to commit death like this. I personally have a lot of attainments in soul science and necromancy, and Amela's life structure has challenged the authority of the true god to create gods, and her creation is very easy. Achieving immortality... If it wasn't for the fact that she had been using plants to cover up her research results, and had also subconsciously skipped the realm of the soul, I'm afraid that the light of God's Punishment would definitely be indispensable to her.
But some things, I am afraid, have always been beyond the control of the gods. For example, not all of Harleitdam died.
Yes, he still has dead seeds, more than one.
"Magic Master" Timurett, one of the founders of the future magic mechanics, in that "history", if Olivia solved the headache of energy and power bottleneck, this master is the most original The invention is a control system that allows ordinary people to use supernatural powers.
In theory, an ordinary person without special training cannot control the supernatural ability. Then, give the magic machine an independent soul and let it control the power of the elements. The warrior only needs to give him an order. enough.
If Olivia gave the magical mechanical creation the blood and nutrients to make the body work, what Timurette gave was to the new body and soul.
However, many people also noticed that although he went around in circles and made a lot of cover up, from the beginning, he stepped into the taboo, and he restarted the taboo of artificial soul!
I was also surprised when I learned of Timurette's results.
After all, I personally have some research on artificial souls. I know that as long as the soul is involved, the difficulty of research will increase sharply. In order to achieve results, researchers may have to abandon their conscience and lower limits. After all, the research materials cannot be humane from the beginning. .
I have spent hundreds of years, and I have countless experimental materials in my hands. The research results are still in the use of old souls to piece together new souls, and use extreme emotions to create distorted and powerful fighting souls. However, he has achieved mass production of brand-new artificial Soul, this technical gap is really big.
Although I still have an obvious advantage in terms of individual strength, I obviously lost in terms of theory and technology. This result surprised me, who has always had a high self-esteem.
"Could it be that the snot boy is so talented that he can directly skip the stage of knowledge accumulation and experimental data collection? Or, like Olivia, such an amazing invention is also a miracle caused by an accidental spark."
Therefore, I naturally took a few more glances at little Timurette, and also had a lot of expectations for his future.
Only later did I realize that I had thought wrong from the very beginning, and that some things really cannot be explained by genius and chance.
"AD1897, July 7th, Summer of Griffons... At least the Oran Empire should still be summer. And the weather in the North is getting colder and colder, it seems that the snow is coming."
The drawing booklet for children has extremely mature handwriting, but the fonts on it are completely different from the existing writing system. It is a special font similar to the accumulation of numbers.
If you only look at the literal pattern, it is not a text at all, but a superposition of a series of irregular images, including triangles, circles, and distorted counting codes, which may be a ghost drawing of a code book to others. For young Timoret, it's just the language of everyday use—Hallet-Dum.
"Sister Dana has been very happy recently. It seems that her work is going well. The students in the school respect her and smile more all day long... Well, my sister is happy, and it has nothing to do with the estrus male cats surrounding her. On the contrary, there are flies buzzing in front of her every day, she must be very troubled. It seems that I still have to find a chance to teach those nasty sons who pester my sister. "
In a sense, Ms. Dana has never been married, which is really the drag of this precious brother, but the direction of drag is a little different from what she thought.
"Though the goblins' gadgets are immature, they have given me a lot of new ideas. XT-2 will be completed next week, so let's use the son of the owner of the bakery for the blood sacrifice. Huh, actually Dare to pester my elder sister and not let me go, but yesterday I dared to send flowers to my elder sister!"
Thinking of the smile on her sister's face when she received the flower, Timurette was not even angry.
Little Timoret is in some ways more mature than everyone expected, but in some ways he is like an ordinary orphan who lost his parents, and has a deep nostalgia for the sister who raised him, which is all too easy to understand. , so normal... Well, I know this is not normal at all, don't I want to classify one more normal person? Just let me, Ah Q, succeed.
Timoret Haku Evanro XVII, the former is the name he is known to be in this world, and the latter Haku Evanro is derived from an ancient soul.
When God's punishment came, Harretdum ushered in the end of the race, but a master of artificial souls was not willing to perish. He looked forward to using his knowledge and ability to avoid the inevitable destruction. The civilization of their own race is passed on.
"A person's personality is nothing more than the soul itself with memory attached. The soul can reincarnate in reincarnation. If you give that new soul all the memories of the past, isn't it equivalent to resurrection?"
In a sense, Master Haku succeeded. After each reincarnation of his soul, as the soul grows, a certain instrument will be activated, and then the memory of his previous life will recover.
But in another sense, he failed completely.
Once you enter the reincarnation, you are truly dead, and the new soul is a new life. Even if you read the memory of the previous life, it seems to be a retrospective memory from the first perspective, and you are still watching the life of others.
He has been successfully reincarnated in the seventeenth life, but unfortunately, except for the memory of the first life, which was left behind and prepared to be refilled, the other sixteenth lives still have to go through reincarnation, and the memories left behind can be completely ignored. He is still the one Living in the old house of the Institute for a lifetime.
He couldn't even be sure how many times he had been reincarnated, and he couldn't even be sure that he was really the reincarnation of the ancient sage, but the memory transmission device detected souls with similar wavelengths and activated it sixteen times.
Well, at least in this way, the precocity of this little adult can be understood, and he can create a mature artificial soul only because he activated the previous legacy.
In a sense, little Timurett is the protagonist of the popular time-travel novels. Not to mention an "old grandfather" with him, his parents are dead and he has a sister who depends on each other, and he is destined to do something big. … Well, at least it’s impossible for Timmy to think so much now. He is just a precocious child, and in order to protect his favorite sister, he is fully devoted to the design of the mechanical puppet named XT-2 Among them, I plan to clean up those pesky flies.
"Life is very fulfilling. It's a good thing that my sister is very happy, but the war is just around the corner, and the city can still be so peaceful. Does everyone have so much trust in that Roland."
Thinking of the man who always had a smile on his face, Timurette couldn't help shivering. His racial talent "Zero-type Wisdom Eye" was born to be able to see through all disguises and see the truth of that person.
That day, when he opened the door and saw Roland's first glance, he was almost scared to death.
"It's terrifying. Life and death exist in a body at the same time. Chaos and order have actually turned into a bloodline. The body can be very outrageous, but the soul is even more incomprehensible."
Thinking of the black skeleton ghost, little Timmy shuddered.
"Countless paranoid and persistent soul fragments pieced together a normal soul, and the power of the dead black skeleton pointed to the legendary King of Eternal Night. Such an extremely evil existence could actually be the legendary hero of this country?"
At that time, there was little Timmy in the last transfer team. No one would have thought that little Timmy, who remembered the two worlds, was actually the first person to recognize the Eternal Night Lord.
"Hey, let's take one step at a time, at least it's not bad now. But if the war breaks out... I really don't know why they are so confident, will that Roland be so trustworthy?"
The news of the visiting Roland has come back - "The Orc Army is about to launch a winter offensive, and the Kingdom of Sluwell will be raided" has spread all over the streets, which will undoubtedly make the already difficult winter even more difficult. .
The orcs marching in winter is beyond common sense and lacks persuasiveness, and the raid that crosses the restrictions of the highland terrain is even regarded as a joke by many nobles in the north. The news that it expelled the messenger of the Lan Kingdom has spread.
Amid the sarcasm, Lan Zhimin's trust in the lord was beyond comprehension.
It is obvious that the army of orcs will only come next year, but the people of Lan have regarded the attack within the year as an established fact, and the preparations for the war are being carried out in an orderly manner.
On another level, the shadow of the war is in front of you. Donglan's legions of various countries are reorganizing and preparing for the war. The citizens are not panicking, but live their lives leisurely, and there is even a grand festival today.
"Torch Festival? What a strange name."
Open the window, and the square is already crowded with people watching the parade. It is said that this festival is a traditional festival in the underground world of Sulphur Mountain. Every evening on this day, young unmarried men and women will put on black robes that cover their faces. The FFF's battle flag and chains are drawn on it, and they patrol the streets to find their "prey".
Yes, prey, the prey of these FFF members are young "couples" who are making out in public!
In this long night, as long as they see intimate couples, FFF hunters in black robes will catch them and tie the men to the stake... Of course, it's just a parade, other FFF members and passers-by can smash him with food. Blessings for couples is also the expectation for a bumper harvest in the coming year. It has the same meaning as the harvest festival. The parade with torches and stakes is actually the same thing as the parade with floats, which is completely in line with the customs of various places.
It is said that this festival was initiated by the Sleepless Lord, and the hunter who catches the most prey will receive official bonuses and awards. There is also an urban legend. The winning hunter is called the love hunter, and he will soon reap the love of his dreams. !
In contrast to this, it is also an urban legend: "If the couple who can survive the siege of the FFF members will live with the blessing of the god of love, they will be together forever!"
Of course, in the eyes of most people, these legends are still not very reliable. According to the guys in Brimstone Mountain City, the "love hunters" every year are either Adam or Sleepless, and they have never seen them get rid of singleness because of this.
But that romantic Eros blessing made countless young girls excited about it, and many young men also seized this opportunity and used it as an opportunity to summon the courage to pursue their lover.
"It's just a game, maybe we can live to the end... If I live to the end, can you listen to my mind? It's just a listen, you don't need an answer. If you're willing to listen to me, I'm very happy. Satisfied!"
Well, fleeing together after being attacked is undoubtedly a means to increase feelings, and the success rate of confession while in chaos is also higher than usual.
The result was a huge disappointment for someone who, in his words, "There are so many quick couples after this holy barbecue day? Is the thief god dead! These heretics must be judged by holy flames! Too It's an eyesore, next month will be the month of disciplinary inspection, and all those who dare to make out on the street will be fined!"
Well, the convulsions of the sleepless were stopped by the Four Heavenly Kings and his conscience (Eliza) as always, but this interesting custom festival has been sought after and loved by countless young men and women.
With Princess Renee's permission, this year's event in Defende even had an official backdrop and was significantly larger.
Little Timoret looked out from the window sill, and a large number of people in black robes were either waving sickles and torches in their hands, or moving their muscles and bones to prepare for hunting, while on the other side of the square, many young men and women were eager to try.
"Damn dog men and women!"
"To actually make out in front of this old man is too immoral!"
Some spirits can be conveyed without much need to say. Looking at those happy men and women, regardless of age or gender, the new generation of FFF members has raised the torch in their hearts.
"Burn! Burn! Burn!"
No need to command, the roars from the bottom of my heart were connected together, and the resentment in them was enough to move the world.
Of course, in this case, all kinds of soy sauce are also indispensable.
"It's the magic of this festival that lazy Adam can win Margaret's favor. If you're single, don't you have a shot? Maybe you can reap half of the future."
This is a propaganda slogan written by a certain prince himself, and under the slogan is the annual rental booth of his undead knights.
"Torches, whips, stakes, sickles, lassoes and other common tools are rented out for three copper coins a day! Glue, ink eggs, and stink bombs are one copper coin. In order to reward new and old customers, as long as you shop more than 10 copper coins in our store, FFF regiment uniforms and battle flags are free! My big FFF regiment is magnificent."
Looking at the excited young men and women, Timiret shook his head, the world was obviously too far away from him.
But just as he was about to close the door and study it carefully, he suddenly remembered something.
"Sister Dana should have left work long ago, why hasn't she come back? Could it be..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, Timurette, who was horrified, took out a small instrument and hurriedly checked it.
This is a miniature positioning device, and at this time, the position indicated by the bright spot in the core is the square in front of you!
After being silent for a while, Timurett walked to the door of the wardrobe that was taller than himself, tapped it lightly, and the door of the wardrobe automatically moved without wind.
It was a set of black robes, originally used by Timmy to participate in the choir. Timmy, who didn't like singing, didn't like this dress at first, but at this moment, the more silent Timmy looked at this dress, the more pleasing it became.
"Well, it's you!"
But looking at the black robe, little Timmy always felt that there was something wrong, and after thinking for a while, he brushed directly with the red brush, and there were three more letters on the vest - FFF!
"Ha, burn them!"
Under the oath of a childish voice is the determination to kill, and the countless resuscitated machines in the room, the artificial pupils that flicker in red and green light, have proved the strength of the young man to fulfill the oath.
