Although I am very curious about the history of this planet, the physical and mental exhaustion caused by the previous war quickly made Sandora and I fall asleep (in fact, I still can’t figure out how Sandora, who was transformed into a planet, fell asleep) , It was really a good night's dream, until the next morning when the sun was three poles, I was woken up by the bluffing voice of the little girl Ailu.
"Mr. Scholar! Mr. Scholar! Come down for breakfast! Mom's baked bread and light vegetable soup!"
Ailu's voice came from downstairs, and could be heard clearly on the second floor, followed by the sound of Celine admonishing her daughter. I turned over and found that the sky outside the window was already bright, and the sound of people's voices and horses neighing was coming from the direction of the street not far away: it was good weather, and it seemed that the adventurers in the town were about to set off.
I looked around, but I always felt that something was missing, and then I suddenly felt something soft and warm wriggling under the quilt. I quickly lifted the quilt, only to see a rare scene: the Sandora ball The whole thing lay down like a tortilla...
In other words, the spark of the soul is obviously just a ball of light, why should it have such a rich variety of forms!
"Sandora, Sandora! Wake up! Your whole body is about to melt!" I hurried forward and hugged the soft ball of Sandora, watching it slowly wake up and Returning to a normal sphere, I don't know how many mud horses are rolling past like a military parade. After a long while, Sandora finally got confused. She landed lightly on my shoulder, and her tone was still a little confused: "Aha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is just a spark of the soul, when you don't concentrate on controlling it, you will deform yourself , normal situation. By the way, when I was dreaming yesterday, it almost leaked out of the dream again. Fortunately, it was controlled this time, and it only affected the range of two or three light years... "
I fell down in a row in cold sweat, but Sandora certainly didn't realize how strange her behavior was now, so I could only sigh, and then came downstairs to eat with a ball of light on my shoulder.
Celine has already put the food on the table, and the little girl Ailu is running around to help open the doors and windows for ventilation. This is the daily scene of the mother and daughter: Celine has completely lost the look of last night. It looks like a female star marine soldier.
But I still remember the scene of her deftly inspecting the particle rifle. The quaint building in the feudal era in front of me is a peaceful democrat woman, a room of advanced equipment upstairs and the future female warrior from last night. How many things are linked together
I shook my head and temporarily put the little memories in my mind aside. Since Celine didn’t take the initiative to reveal anything, it’s hard to say whether her behavior of hiding a lot of ancient arms at home is in line with the rules of this world, so I As an outsider who has just arrived, it is better not to ask about this aspect rashly. After all, she is a clergyman, and the church happens to have the right to access "forbidden knowledge". We just can't be sure if Celine's clergymen's collection of such a house of things is "out of bounds". In case this is normal, It seemed rather inexplicable to make such a fuss.
"Ha, Mr. Scholar is awake!" Ailu heard the movement from the stairs, and immediately ran towards this side happily, "Mr. Scholar, come and eat quickly! Twenty copper coins for breakfast... Wow! Mr. Scholar has a shoulder on his shoulder." weird stuff!"
Ailu's exclamation sounded almost throughout the big room. Celine, who was arranging the seats, was alarmed and ran over quickly. I looked at my shoulder with a strange expression, and found... a golden ball of light was innocently there. Jump around.
"Sandora... Sandora..." I whispered and poked Sandora's ball, "You seem to be exposed—not invisible!"
"Ah, I forgot," Sandora suddenly stopped jumping, but said in a rather embarrassed low voice, "It seems that the mental state is too bad. After waking up, I was a little confused and didn't pay attention... Why didn't Ah Jun remind me!"
I was a little speechless immediately: "You didn't pay attention to me, how could I find out that you are the same in my eyes, okay? I'm not used to living with a bunch of status bars in my vision at any time."
At this time, Ai Lu and Celine were still looking at this side dumbfounded. The "Mr. Scholar" in their field of vision was chatting with a golden light ball that looked strange and inexplicable. The chat scene was like two ordinary people who were chatting Just like people, I knew the situation couldn't go on like this based on the degree of Ai Lu's stare, so I quickly raised my shoulders and discussed with Sandora in the spiritual connection: "Why don't you give them a brainwash?"
"Spiritual sparks can't do such delicate things. This is a pure weapon. It is made for killing people. Even the smallest effort may be enough to wash people into fools—then we can only throw this girl on the empire. The Victim Care Center is here," Sandora Ball shook her body, "Of course you want me to silence you, but it's no problem."
As soon as I heard it, I broke out in a cold sweat, but at the same time, some of the contents of the three books I read last night also came out. I suddenly had an idea, so I raised my shoulders and looked at Sai with the usual expression on his face. Lin smiled: "You know magic, right?"
"Magic?" Celine frowned and looked over thoughtfully, "I know it's more popular in the north, and there are people who study magic in the south, but magic is not very popular here in the Principality of Aiwen. Oh, Are you magic? Mister scholar or magician?"
"Actually, this is a very complicated story." When I heard that Celine seemed to have a feeling of "unclear" about magic, I knew that the Lost God Cult had only a half-knowledge of these ancient knowledges. What else is the situation, so I made up my mind, and simply made the lie bigger, it would be better if it was too big to be falsified, "This is my lover, named Sandora, because of some special The reason why she became like this... Well, the special reason is that she accidentally had an accident when exploring an ancient magic relic, and she was turned into an egg by some ancient magic!"
I felt a hard hit on the back of my head before my words fell, and then Sandora ball bombarded my head in a circle while teaching: "Ah Jun, can't you speak well! What does it mean to become?" Damn! You can say that I am completely dead!"
"In short, this is the situation," I explained to the stunned Celine mother and daughter with a wry smile while dodging from left to right, "exploring ancient ruins, accidents are inevitable, and now I have been searching all over the world to make Sandora The method of recovery, this time I also heard that a new ruin has been opened, and I want to see if there is anything here that can make her recover."
I even admired myself a little when I threw out a big lie, and said that thanks to the pile of spiritual food I usually read novels, movies, and episodes online when I have nothing to do, I unconsciously accumulated a bellyful of stories , This means there is no pressure in life. If there is pressure, maybe throwing me out to write novels can support a family. This story is ambiguous in every way, but theoretically it is difficult to falsify, especially since I pushed most of the things to the ancient ruins - even the experts who visually inspected the Lost God couldn't figure out how those old antiques returned Even if Celine is extremely confused, she can only stare at the ancients!
Based on my experience of traveling in various worlds over the years, lying in a world of civilization dating is almost unquestionable. This is the most likely situation of dating civilization: people are shocked by the superb technology of ancient civilizations, although They can't understand most of the content of ancient civilizations, but they are willing to use their brains to believe in the omnipotence of ancient civilizations. In short, no matter what bizarre things they encounter, as long as they have something to do with "ancient technology" up.
Sure enough, the doubts on Celine's face gradually disappeared, but she still muttered a few words: "Ancient magic still has this effect? Why didn't I hear it when I was studying in the church... Could it be a new lost technology that has appeared in these years?"
"Well, it must be a lost ancient technology," Sandora finally decided to chime in, she was dangling in the air filled with righteous indignation, "The evil egg-forming spell!" Then she hit me hard on the head again, the spirit connection The tone was even more filled with righteous indignation: "And Ah Jun's evil lips!"
Celine finally believed this unfalsifiable statement, and I was also relieved. I originally thought that if the other party really got to the bottom of it, I would just leave this mess and walk away. Now it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome. At the same time, I finally made sure of one thing: Even the clergy of the Lost God Cult have a very one-sided understanding of ancient technology. I don't know much, anyway, Celine doesn't understand magic, but she can accept bizarre stories about magic with a very high tolerance, which can explain a lot about the current situation of the Lost God Cult.
I walked towards the dinner table with the Sandora ball in my arms. At this time, Ai Lu asked curiously: "Has Mr. Scholar been with Sandora egg... sister? Why didn't you see it yesterday?"
Sandora disappeared and reappeared several times in an instant, and explained to Elle boldly: "Because your sister will be invisible!"
The little girl Ailu suddenly widened her eyes and was astonished, and then jumped up and wanted to pull the Sandora ball down—I saw that Sandora was going to be angry with the king, so I quickly pulled the little girl aside, hugged Sandoraball smirked at Celine without embarrassment: "Hehe... My girlfriend's current state is often prone to suspicion, so she usually stays invisible... Well, this invisibility ability is also transformed into this weird form acquired afterwards."
Because I am not sure whether the natives of this planet have mastered the invisibility technology themselves, so I simply pushed Sandora's invisibility to the ancient civilization to save nonsense. It is said that ancient civilization is really a useful shield. If there is anything that cannot be explained clearly, just greet them. The status is about equal to Shichen and the world. Anyway, it is their fault.
Celine understood immediately, nodded and smiled without doubt: "I understand this kind of thing, so let's eat first."
This time, the Sandora ball appeared on the dinner table openly, and rolled around all the food in the same open manner. Celine finally looked thoughtful at this magical light ball: "So... Yesterday I felt the table was shaking, is this the reason?"
I cut the scones with a little embarrassment, and by the way, I took out my dry food to share with Celine's mother and daughter just like yesterday (after all, it's not good to eat for nothing), and at the same time silently looked at Sandora: "Hey , don't bother, you have nothing to say now."
Sandora immediately jumped up all over the ball: "I know you still mention it! Why don't you mention it!"
"Actually, when I was studying in the church back then, I also heard about some adventurers who were 'cursed' because they accidentally touched ancient equipment. Most of them were very troublesome and caused the parties to suffer a lot," Celine looked at Shannon curiously. The Dora ball was circling the food on the table, not only had I completely believed my words, but also actively discussed this issue, "Your condition is relatively rare, I have seen more serious ones than yours, but I have never seen So... Strange. Most of the curses brought out from the ancient ruins are diseases or inexplicable and incurable infected wounds. There are very few cases where a person's life form has changed. This may be the ancient people. Transformation magic for making special fighters? You should ask the priests of the archdiocese for help, it is very difficult to lift the curse with your own power."
When I heard it, I had an unexpected harvest: It turned out that the story I made up was not a special case, did it really happen on this planet? And Celine has heard of something similar!
Think about it, too. In a place where civilization is broken, a group of primitive people carry shovels and go bare-armed to dig high-tech ancestral graves. What is the result of the great apes digging into the waste pool of the Daya Bay nuclear power plant...
"Is the curse of ancient ruins very likely to occur? You see, I'm just a scholar, not an adventurer who specializes in researching ruins, so I haven't had much contact with this business before," I asked with a normal face, "It just so happens that the priests You are very proficient in this area, can you tell me about the ruins?"
"The story of the ruins, you can find numerous legends if you look around, but most of them are actually made up by free adventurers when they are bored," Celine said in the usual gentle and elegant tone, as a clergyman's temperament Undoubtedly, "Scholars like you probably don't understand, in fact, exploring the ruins is a... very easy to make big mistakes, so every time the ruins are opened, the highest diocese needs to make a careful decision, and there must be a certain number of priests among the adventurers. Personnel will accompany you to guide, otherwise you are not allowed to start without permission—oh, you must know these common-sense things after all.”
What can I say? I can only try my best to nod and pretend that I am familiar with the market. At this time, I really want to post a help post on the main website of the empire: I have just arrived in a strange world with broken civilizations, how can I pretend that I come here often, and I am waiting online. It seems that I often see such posts on the Zongwang.com, and they are basically left by hard-working censors. Many times I also empathize with their distress.
Celine cut a piece of scones for Elle, then turned her head and continued: "You will set off to the ruins with other adventurers soon, right? So you will probably see a lot of god priests, but usually leave the parish and adventure The priests who act together are all trainee priests, with limited knowledge and abilities, but you can still ask them for help. No matter where they are, the priests are happy to help people who are troubled by ancient facilities. Oh, you say me? I really do I am a priest, and an official priest... But you also know that I have been away from the core of religion for many years, and after marrying an adventurer, I will lose the 'right to act religiously', which means that I only retain the name of a priest and some The right to know ancient knowledge is all that matters, and the resources of the diocese cannot be used, so I am afraid there is nothing you can do about the problems your lover encounters."
Celine has no doubts about Sandora Ball's problem at all, but takes the initiative to rely on everything I explained to her. This is the benefit of closed knowledge and unequal information: she can only try to learn from what she knows. Seek explanations, and never take the initiative to think of such mysterious stuff as visitors from space. When you see a handsome Greek guy in golden armor posing on the side of the road on the earth, the first reaction must be that he is a cosplayer or performance artist. I don’t believe that ordinary people on the earth can really think of him as a real fairy.
"There is always a solution to Sandora's problem, so just talk about the ruins."
I saw that the other party's enthusiasm had gone astray, so I quickly brought the topic back to the ruins.
"Oh, sorry, I tend to digress," Celine smiled apologetically, "Speaking of ruins, we all know that they are taboos left by ancient civilizations. Ancient civilizations are extremely powerful and can explore the mysteries of the starry sky. The moment they delved into the origin of matter, they learned knowledge, analyzed the world, and once reached the realm of gods—the gods are magnanimous, so they did not prohibit people from delving into this knowledge at the beginning, but the reckless use of this knowledge by ancient people eventually led to disasters The ancient canonists say that the disaster was sent by the gods to punish arrogant mortals, while the new canonists believe that the disaster came from the unspeakable disaster hidden in the depths of the world, which led to the first great destruction... Anyway, Ancient civilizations are extinct, leaving only relics all over the world, and the Lost God Cult is the first generation of 'penitents' who accepted the teachings of the gods of technology and magic. As you can see, we treat all parts of the world with caution The relics, and to guide and cultivate occupations such as adventurers. Although many adventurers are free to move, they are still managed by the sect, so that we can ensure that forbidden knowledge will not be restarted rashly... Oh, these are all in the sermons It’s an occupational disease, and I can’t help but speak in such a preaching tone when talking about God’s religion, please don’t mind, you should be familiar with these things.”
"Um, it's okay, it sounds very interesting," I reflected on the religious stories told by Celine, while showing an interested expression, "So, even the sect is not sure what caused the extinction of ancient civilizations in the first place. ?”
Celine's expression was very serious: "The age of gods, mortals can't fathom." RS
