After a period of reconstruction and renovation, the former dirty and dilapidated mining town has undergone tremendous changes. Except for the bustling "New City Circle" outside which is three times the size of the old town, even the town The central building has also changed a lot. The "Cathedral of the Crow God", which was originally used as a temporary town hall, was replaced by a truly magnificent church. Magic and prayer were built within three days, but its scale and grandeur have reached the peak level of various religious buildings in the world. It is said that during the three days of the construction of the cathedral, the entire holy capital also continued for three days. Therefore, it became another new sensational "miracle" in the southern region. It is a pity that we were receiving information bombardment in the Dragon Kingdom for a few days, so we didn't have the chance to see this grand event—but then again, the Empire The territory is vast, and countless grand events are going on in the world under the name. If we all want to see all of them, we basically don’t have to do anything. If nothing else, just register in Guanghong World The New Year celebrations around the world that have been planned are now reaching an average of thousands of times a day. Even a professional household like Qianqian who joins in the fun can only look at it with admiration...
The Crow God Cathedral is located on the former site of the Town Hall, facing the Sacred Tree Square in front of it. A group of powerful crow spirits are always hovering above it. Guardian—actually, it was the spirit of the crow that was created when the little crow "entertained guests" last time and forgot to take it back. It was simply used by vanilla for waste. As soon as you enter the church, there is a huge and unusual long hall, which is the hall for the believers to pray and be baptized. Behind the altar at the end of the long hall is a sculpture of the god of crows that is more than ten meters high. Many sculptures of gods in the mortal world are taken The believers zoomed in, except for the little crow. Her sculpture is a pocket version of her actual height: it is really amazing to have a bird with a height of 100 meters after holding its head high. There is something in the mouth of the crow statue, which is a black feather with a metallic texture exuding circles of translucent energy fluctuations. This is an important sacred object of the Crow God Sect. It comes from the feathers of the Crow God. The energy it provides supports the outer shield of the entire holy city, and at the same time illuminates the entire city, strengthens believers, blesses the church and residents of the city. The fourteen-hour hot water and other systems provide energy—in short, without it, not only will the holy city lose the invincible shield bestowed by the gods, believers can only boil water by themselves even for bathing... In other words, the last system must be Lilina's idea!
today. It was not the day when the Crow God Sect held religious activities, but quite a few believers gathered in the cathedral. And except for some waiters. The rest are basically senior members of the sect. They gathered early this morning after receiving divine revelation in yesterday's dream. Last night, Crow God made important instructions in the illusion of all senior believers in the city. : "We have a meeting tomorrow!"
So today there are hundreds of priests of the Crow God in black robes gathered here.
Lilina, who was wearing a high-ranking Raven Cult uniform, was standing on the podium—she was literally "standing" on the podium, and she was standing on the table, or would it be blocked by the table—stomping her feet vigorously while shouting Shouting: "Silence! Silence! Su... oh, no one is talking. Well, everyone is almost here, right?"
The high-ranking believers who were originally silent looked at each other dumbfounded. Already familiar with this strange "great sage", they could only continue to put on a straight face, pretending to listen to the teachings seriously.
"Okay. They're all good kids," Lilina nodded in satisfaction, quickly took out her lines and read, "Fair God, the Crow God, her father said... Oh, this sentence is crossed out. Potatoes 500 grams, eggplants 300 Gram, scallions... oh, this one comes through from the back... "
I finally couldn't bear it, but I couldn't kick Lilina down in front of so many believers, so I coughed lightly, and said in the spiritual connection: "You try talking nonsense again?"
"Ahem, anyway, I called everyone here today because I have something very important to announce," Lilina threw away the lines in her hand, and looked seriously at the crowd of Crow God believers who were eagerly waiting below, "This is a direct message from God." Instructions, the gods have been away from this world for tens of thousands of years, and recently we have received news that all the gods are about to return, and this world will undergo tremendous changes—and Crow God, as the messenger of the king of the gods, is responsible for delivering this message To convey to the mortal world, all of you present are the most devout followers of the Crow God, and you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of conveying the will of God, and convey this news to the entire world—within seven days.”
After Lilina's voice fell, there was a buzzing discussion among the believers, and they quickly fell silent after Lilina coughed lightly. Lilina hadn't finished speaking: "Some of you may not be ready, but I must convey the will of God. This world change is a signal for the return of the gods. For the specific situation, you will discuss it for the first time this afternoon. I know from God in prayer that this matter will be the top priority of the sect. I want you to organize all the Crow God believers who can be dispatched to convey God's message. Even if the construction of the holy capital is suspended, you must ensure that the revelation will be delivered in time Convey to the whole world—Crow God is the God of Messenger, so believers who take on the role of Messenger will also receive her temporary blessing. You can freely use the magic of space teleportation, but remember, you must not violate the teachings, do not seek personal gain, and do not delay Mission. Now who has anything to say?"
I looked at Lilina, who was standing on the podium with a serious and dignified face, and it took me a long time to resist the urge to tear her down: You said that this girl can be so serious, why is she so serious when she is with us? How about four or six
But her current appearance is most likely pretending. This guy usually prepares many masks when he is in front of outsiders. No one can know her real expression. Anyway, I don’t believe she really has one. The concept of worrying about the country and the people...
Of course, the senior believers of the Crow God were somewhat puzzled by this sudden mission and asked some detailed questions. Lilina's reply was uniform: the first prayer in the afternoon will tell everything from God, so the believers have to wait for the noon prayer to hear from God—but in fact the little crow is standing next to the pulpit , that skinny girl who was eating wood on the table, but unfortunately no one at the scene knew what the real body of the "God of Crows" looked like except for vanilla. Apart from flying, the only way to communicate with one's own god is to pray. There is a reason why Lilina insisted that they wait until the afternoon to pray: the little crow hasn't memorized the lines yet...
Afterwards, Lilina dismissed the followers of the Crow God in the hall. I stepped forward and grabbed the little crow from the side of the pulpit. This girl had already gnawed off a large piece of the pulpit made of black stone core wood. It seems that my task is not only to let this girl remember that she is not a duck. In addition, there must be a point to make her realize that she is not a woodpecker...
"Gah!" The little crow was chewing wood chips, and pointed happily at his sculpture not far away, "Master, who is that stupid bird? Why is it holding my feather? Such a hard thing can't build a nest..."
I slapped my head. He took Jingle out of his pocket: "Now there is another God asking the same question as you did..."
"It looks like she can't memorize her lines well," Lilina said, looking at the little crow who was looking for mouse holes in the hall. I couldn't help but pat my forehead. "It really can't be done this time, we can only let Vanilla go out. Anyway, it's the same for anyone who dreams. People can be easily deceived at the subconscious level."
Vanilla was lying on the small table next to the pulpit, sweating profusely learning to write with Sakina, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name, she looked up and said, "Me? No, no, how can I pretend to be natural... Crow God!"
"Little bird, is it okay to let Vanilla deal with the midday revelation for you?" Lilina grabbed the little crow running around. "That way you don't have to memorize those damn long lines."
The little crow immediately patted its arms happily: "Gah! Sister Lilina is so kind!"
Lilina pointed to the little crow and said to Vanilla: "Look, your God has spoken."
Because the mysterious side mother star ruins located in this world will cause the world to change after being activated. We must prepare in advance, and the compromise plan provided by Alleria has minimized the impact. But according to Sagina's statistics, about one-third of the "lost worlds" will still be affected. These lost worlds more or less contain "relics of the ancient gods", which are the facilities of the old empire. After the parent star is activated , these facilities will be sent into the dragon kingdom, and at the same time, their own defense devices will also be activated. If there are still explorers left in those lost worlds, it will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. At the same time, so many lost worlds are mutated at the same time Of course, the people of the mother continent will also notice that it is possible to cause large-scale social turmoil—for this world, the "lost world" is an extremely important part of it, and various resources and knowledge from the lost world are related to it. Everyone in this world is closely related. If you think about it, if one day, all the oil fields on the earth suddenly stopped producing oil and changed to Coca-Cola, what a commotion it would cause. You can imagine that one-third of the lost world suddenly became an empty city. What an impact the mainland will have. So it is necessary to prepare the people on the mother continent in advance, but it is definitely unrealistic to send a spaceship directly around the world to send leaflets - that will cause a second panic, just like all the oil fields on the earth are exhausted. Just as the UFO Martians declared responsibility for this incident, it is estimated that social unrest will die before humans die in the oil war. Therefore, Lilina, a brick expert who has studied social group psychology, gave us a suggestion to use the channel that the world itself has to communicate: religion.
Religious activities in the mother continent are very frequent, and almost everyone believes in one or two gods. The various gods and sects here are almost as common as eating and drinking for ordinary people. They still believe in "gods." Therefore, it is feasible to use the mouth of the "God" to create an offensive of public opinion, and at the same time expand the influence of the Crow God Sect and the Dragon God Sect—half-dragon people will also participate in this event, and Sona is already in Lin With the help of , everything was arranged.
A wide range of religious public opinion can effectively prevent ordinary explorers from setting foot on those lost worlds that are no longer safe in the next few days. According to Sagina, explorers are quite "superstitious" because every day In contact with extremely dangerous things, no amount of preparation and equipment can handle the indescribable traps in ancient ruins. So they believe in all luck, omens, revelations and anything similar. The large-scale propaganda of the Crow God Sect and the Dragon God Sect can make more than 90% of the explorers leave the lost worlds that are announced to be closed. But some lost worlds have established fixed human settlements, and even have troops from various countries stationed there. They use those relatively large lost worlds as half colonies. method, it is difficult to drive away such "guests" only by religious propaganda. In this regard, we have also taken action, and Alaya and Aurelia are in charge of this.
Alleria set off for the Sky Tower yesterday. Take over control of the Gondar Colossus there. Almost all lost worlds where Imperial remnants exist are guarded by Gondhar Colossi, but like those in the Sky Tower Plaza, all Gondari Colossi are in a state of disarray, and to re-use them requires regaining control of the parent star guard system , and the control center of these colossus troops is the Sky Tower.
Alleria came back around noon to tell us that all the Colossus soldiers were back under control.
Sakina told us the legend of these colossus soldiers on the mother continent: "Only the most dangerous ancient god ruins have colossus soldiers. They are the most terrifying existence of all relic guards, so they have a great reputation. All explorers Know at least a dozen stories of colossus soldiers slaughtering invaders. 'Going out to meet colossi' is the most unlucky curse in our profession. The legends of these metal colossi are widely distributed on the mainland, and even many bards can be found making up nonsense The popular books that I have created are all stories like "The Knight and the Colossus", "The Brave Fights the Colossus", "The Legend of the Forty Days' War of Prince Rhine and the Colossus Soldiers", etc., are all made up - in fact, there have been no such stories so far. Humans have found a way to defeat those colossi, they are a well-known but invincible nightmare. Fortunately, the colossus soldiers have a fixed guard area. They will only patrol along a fixed line and expel all enemies within a fixed range Invaders. So after figuring out this rule, people can explore the ruins with peace of mind. Just like the Sky Tower, there are colossus soldiers everywhere in the back door square, but it is still a very popular ruin.”
It is these introductions by Sagina that make us feel that we can use the colossi to disperse the settlements near the ruins of the empire-they are already familiar to people in this world, and the image of invincibility has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Sending 10,000 imperial soldiers armed to the fingernails is still useful. After all, ordinary people in this world may resist ignorantly and fearlessly in the face of unfamiliar imperial soldiers, but they will definitely run faster than the notorious Gunda Colossus. The runaway Lilina is fast.
"Boss, you can't do this..." Lilina looked at me resentfully and muttered.
"In this way, the preparations here are basically completed. Dispel all the idlers near the imperial ruins, recover the old facilities that can still be used, and release Sky City after three days. Next, let Shadow City do it. Ready to receive it," I held my chin and sorted out the things to be done in the next few days, "I discussed with Sandora and decided to mount the whole world to the shadow space, just like Avalon Same, become an additional space under the control of Shadow City."
This is the result of my discussion with Sandora last night. The main reason for doing this is that this world is really small—the detectable and stable space range is only one light-year, and the mother continent planet is located in this light-year The central location of the small world, compared to most known worlds, here is a pocket universe, such a small universe, it is difficult to set the administrative level if it is a world independently (for example: is it possible to send a film police here? Be the governor of the world?), it is better to make it a part of the shadow space. This small universe was obviously distorted after the impact of that year. It seems that even if I drove to the world barrier to block it, only a small place like the capital galaxy of the empire was finally protected.
If this project is completed, this world will become a very special place. First of all, this world itself is divided into two layers. In the mortal world, most people in the Mother Continent can touch and understand the universe within this light-year in their lifetime, and the inner layer is the space where the mother star of the mysterious system resides. The collected parent star facilities will be stored there. In the future, this inner space will also become the base camp and new birthplace of the mysterious side of the new empire, and for the mortals of the mother continent, it will become a place in religious legends— kingdom of gods.
And this whole world is mounted in the shadow space. Like Avalon, it exists as a "district" of the capital of the empire. Although it is countless times larger than Avalon, its administrative level is still " neighborhood".
Then we may open up the knowledge about the empire to ordinary people in this world. After all, they are considered to live in the area ruled by the empire. As time goes by, they will also become a group of very special "family members". The other family members also have great power. It may take many years for their civilization level to catch up with other vassal worlds, but they don't need to be strong in this area. In Sandora's plan, this world should be another long-term plan "Nursery" - Observatory of Imperial Apotheosis.
Now that we already have the Crow God, in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be more individuals with divinity or information disturbance power in the empire, and the next one may be by our side, Qianqian, my lord sister, Lin Xue, anyone can suddenly become a god overnight, and then our Imperial Religious Affairs Department (currently Lilina is the minister, secretary, director-general, executive member, front desk, tea serving girl, cleaning and office supplies) will organize a The corresponding religion tests the authority and power level of the new gods in this world.
That's what we thought about our future plans last night.
(PS: A video about the city on the mysterious side of the empire—City of Angels has been released. You can go to the bar to find it yourself, or search for the keyword "Castle in the Sky" on Youku. I guess that thing is much more intuitive.) RQ
