Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 382 In History

A corner of Intis.

"The efficiency of steam ships is too low. The design of Loen's new iron-clad ship is very good. It's time to consider increasing the displacement and speed. I think we can engrave magic lines and ritual lines on the ship to make full use of magic and extraordinary power. Come up to the ship."

Said a man wearing a classical mage robe with a hood covering his eyes.

A large cargo ship is parked in the shipyard of the port.The freighter has just been put into production for a few years, and it was damaged in the recent flood, and it is currently the only vessel still in use in the port. Other small and medium-sized fishing boats have been washed away.There are no other pillar industries in the entire harbor town, and they all hope that this ship can be put into use as soon as possible, so as to give some psychological and economic comfort to the devastated homeland.

The craftsman sent by the Church of Steam jumped off the boat and complained to the voyeur's think tank: "After being hostile to Loen, our current territorial waters are almost completely blocked, and we can't even catch much fish. What do we need a boat for?"

The secret peeker asked back: "Why must the boat be in the sea?"

The craftsman looked at him and then at the ship: "If it's not in the sea, how can such a large-tonnage ship fly in the sky?"

"Why can't you fly?" The voyeur rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms that were too thin compared to the craftsman, and then took away the hammer and nails of the craftsman, "I'll carve a floating ritual magic on the ship, as long as the spirituality drives it to fly It is enough for the sage to pray."

5 minute later.

Only barely carved a large circle with a diameter of one meter. The voyeur raised his hood and wiped the sweat from his brow, and complained to the craftsman, "This boat is so strong? How long will I have to carve it?"

The craftsman rubbed his chin and looked at the circle: "You are right, we need more professional depiction devices, such as fully automatic recorders, this may be a new industry in the future, I want to pray to the church, and apply for this idea first patents and research funding."

Hearing the research funding, the secret-peeper showed the same smile as the artisan: "How much can you apply for?"

"If you apply early, you can still sneak into the workshops of the archbishops to do second and third works. If you apply late, you can only stand outside the workshop and buy food for them." The craftsman looked at the voyeur, "You Quickly use ritual magic to write an application, the handwriting must be neat, the words should be elegant, the logic smooth, and the words sincere, and then we will submit it quickly to see if we can apply for something."

The spy patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, our Moses Penance Society often asks to write study reports, and I'm very good at it."

"By the way, even if you really engraved the magic on it, it's strange that such a large ship is used to transport goods. If you just want to design a handling device that can fly in the sky, why don't we dismantle this ship, Then how about making a civilian airship that can be driven by rituals?"

The spy opened the assignment letter, looked left and right, chewed on the words for a while, and said happily:
"The request didn't say that the ship couldn't be dismantled, it only said that we should find a way to restore Ferlon's economy and improve the living conditions of the residents."

"very good."

The craftsman said: "Now there is only one civil airship construction and improvement technology missing."

Now, of course, it is impossible for them to fly into Trier and enter the technical university to study from scratch, so there is only one easiest way—thinking of the education and teaching methods of that great existence, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Go! "

"Aren't you very good at skipping classes? You didn't go crazy when you escaped to Sequence 6, you go!"

"I'm not the best at skipping classes, I was only promoted to Sequence 6 in ten years! My spirit is very fragile, you are the main technician, you go!"

"How about this, we are half of us." The craftsman tried to bring the attitude of cooperation and win-win into learning, "I want to rebuild by hand, I learn to build, and you learn to improve by magic, so that at least one can live. Let's pray together, this kind of New knowledge that is difficult to understand, the sage will definitely say it twenty times, and now at ten o’clock, we will start the ceremony, and we will sleep when we are knocked out, and we will continue to work tomorrow.”

"I think it's okay." The voyeur expressed his appreciation.

So the voyeur began to arrange rituals on the ground, drawing symbols, and the craftsmen opened the folding bed and quilt that came with the luggage.After the ceremony was ready, the two lay on their respective beds and prayed to the hidden sage together to obtain knowledge related to the transformation of civilian airships.

After a brief agony, they both fell into baby-like sleep.

……

Intis, Trier.

After passing through the door, the world before Klein's eyes returned to normal. The first thing that caught his eye was a cathedral that was emitting light slightly. stained glass windows adorn it.

It was late at night, and there were no believers visiting, but there were still many people active in the cathedral, and spiritual brilliance flashed frequently.

"This is our current church, so we can't teleport it directly."

The Dark Saint briefly explained to Klein with a solemn and solemn expression.Klein guessed that this was probably a kind of pilgrimage, so he nodded and followed the Dark Saint to the long steps in front of the cathedral. During the process, he asked casually:

"Are you planning to retreat back to Intis?"

The dark sage who was leading the way in front of the side nodded. This time he had something to do, so he resisted the idea of ​​kneeling and kowtowing all the way.

"Yes, after sending you here, I won't go back."

"Stay in Trier?" Klein looked around.

"Maybe, I obey the arrangement of the church, maybe go to other areas to participate in the reconstruction work."

As he said that, he took out a notebook from his pocket and handed it to Klein: "You reminded me that I just remembered that these are some things left from our stronghold in Backlund, as well as the list of members. Since you plan to Take over there, and they'll be in your hands."

"If you need it, or if you want to cultivate your own power, you can reopen the Extraordinary Party, and the authorization is also included."

Extraordinary party?

I still have some nostalgia, but the Extraordinary Gathering is of little value to him who is about to become Sequence 3, and Backlund's current ecology of wild Extraordinary is not very good... But maybe it can be adjusted a little bit to prevent them from being forced into a hurry After reading it, an incident was triggered... Klein took the notebook and responded casually a few times, imagining with great interest how members of the Tarot Society would hold a secret gathering in the real world.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of Mr. Isengard Stanton, who held many gatherings of wild Extraordinary people under the title of "Eye of Wisdom". ", and many intelligence and gold pounds.

Mr. Isengard Stanton can be regarded as a friend of Klein's trust. Unfortunately, he was busy during the period after God of War, and he was preparing for promotion, and he had to pay attention to charity foundations, and he didn't know about him How have you been lately.

Throwing away the insignificant loss and worries in his heart, Klein put away the notebook, followed the Dark Saint all the way, and walked to the gate of the Cathedral of Light.The ten-meter-high gate made everyone look up involuntarily, then bow their heads in awe.

The front door had been closed and locked for the night, so they entered through the side door.

The person who came to meet them was an acquaintance of the two, Ms. D who was blessed by the Lord and became a saint.

The dark saint greeted: "Night shift?"

"It's not over yet."

A few days passed, although the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe was gradually diluted, Ms. D was quite relieved to see the two acquaintances.On the one hand, the great flood took away too many people, and I am glad that the two acquaintances are still alive; To try to figure out their thoughts, and get splashed with blood from time to time.

"Long time no see, Mr. X."

Irena looked at Klein: "Are you also planning to stay in Trier?"

Klein looked at the Dark Saint, and the Dark Saint shook his head, meaning that the Red Angel had no public information. Klein was promoted to Sequence 3 and his identity as a divinely favored one had not been known to other members of the Aurora Society. Klein then politely replied:

"No, I'm just here to visit the current church, and I will soon return to Backlund and continue to be stationed there."

Irena was immediately in awe of Klein.

"Let's go, the members of the Secret Order are already waiting for you." She turned sideways, out of the way, and led the two into the cathedral through the side door, and went up the winding stairs to the high place.

Klein was admiring the luxurious gold painting and various gold decorations left behind by the Church of the Eternal Sun, while listening attentively to the chatter between the Dark Saint and Ms. D.Judging from this answer, she seems to know something, but she doesn't know much—they have cooperated, met Secret Puppet, and are the great nobleman of Intis. She knows that Klein is a "Seer", and she also understands something The movement of the secret order, so he guessed that Klein came this time to cooperate with the secret order, and in a sense, he guessed right.

"How's the situation?"

Ms. D made a joke: "Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?"

"Listen first."

Irena walked and said: "The good news is that Trier has a new god, the war and the flood are over, and our urban reform and construction plan is also advancing steadily, Trier will once again walk in the era The forefront of the city and become the most modern metropolis."

Klein almost froze.

The dark saint was a little excited: "The bad news?"

"The bad news is that our modern metropolis will be empty, with no pedestrians on the streets and no merchants in the shops." Irena said calmly, "It is more accurate to say that the entire Intis is now The population, that is, the total population of the original Trier."

The dark saint shook his head and drew a cross on his body:

"May their souls ascend to heaven."

In other words, there is only one Trier left in the whole country?There are almost no survivors in all the other cities... Klein slightly widened his eyes, as if he hadn't had a more accurate concept until now.Previously, he established contact with Arrods through Origin Castle, and briefly asked about Intis' situation, and he was slightly relieved when he heard that the war of gods was over.He knew that Intis was in great trouble, and he also knew that there was a great flood, but he never expected that the flood actually fell from the sky in Trier.

He couldn't help but ask, "How was the final flood resolved?"

"It was the hidden sage who saved Intis." Irena replied, "He used powerful magic to stop the sea water and divide new rivers and river systems." After she finished speaking, she pointed out the window.

When passing by a high window, Klein stopped and looked out the window.

He had seen the world map before, so now he recalled it quickly.Trier is similar to Backlund. There was a river passing through the original city. Now Trier has a large river out of thin air, and there are several tributaries forming a water system extending in all directions in the city like spider webs. If he had known that this was North America, Klein would have suspected that he had seen Venice in the [-]th century.

Then, Klein's eyes widened slightly.

On both sides of that brand new river.

Countless people gathered there, the firewood was stacked under the relics, and the fire was burning blazingly, extending far, far along the river.

"...Nothing to see." Irena said softly.

The three of them didn't speak any more during the rest of the journey. The Dark Saint and Irena muttered to themselves, reciting scriptures in mourning for the dead.And that scene lingered in Klein's mind for a long time, and the surging grief and pain made him clenched his fists involuntarily.

"arrive."

After arriving at the predetermined floor, Irena stopped, said goodbye to them briefly, turned and walked downstairs.

Klein and the Dark Saint walked forward in the direction she pointed out. Within a few steps, the fire suddenly lit up and wiped out a corner of the corridor.

The red angel leaned against the wall, arms folded, waiting for their arrival, and the firelight came from his fingertips.

"Quite fast."

Medici lit a cigarette for himself, but instead of smoking, he just held it between his fingers and burned it quietly.He installed a switch, and the long white light tube on the ceiling of the corridor flickered a few times before turning on, illuminating the surroundings all of a sudden.The Dark Saint had never seen anything like this before, and immediately began to praise the Lord and praise the miracle. Klein's eyebrows twitched, and he felt as if he had returned to a high school classroom.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that Medici was holding an old glove made of a special material in his hand, and the joints were covered with metal, like a combat gauntlet that only appeared in oil paintings.

Seeing that Klein noticed the Extraordinary item in his hand, Medici raised the glove, shook it, and crushed it.

Klein's eyebrows twitched again.

The ancient gloves with a sense of historical beauty turned into pieces of broken copper and iron, and then, the brilliance of spirituality emerged, and quickly gathered in Medici's hands, forming a very special group of Extraordinary characteristics.This mass is dark in color, like liquid and gas. As soon as it is condensed, a thick dark fog suddenly appears around it. After a while, the dark saint found himself disoriented, unable to distinguish front, back, left, and right.

There seemed to be many things flashing in the fog, like an ancient city, but also like a mythical scene, like walking through history.

This is the extraordinary characteristic of "Ancient Scholar"?
"Do you want to be promoted here?" Just when he was fascinated, Medici asked him, and made a movement, throwing the dark saint out of the cathedral window.

Klein hesitated for a moment. He felt that the cathedral was concealed enough, and the existence of Medici was enough to interfere with most of the visions and unnatural phenomena brought about by the promotion. After all, he was only promoted to Sequence 3 now.

So he nodded, and took out the citrine pendulum wrapped around his wrist, and used the method of "divination" to confirm whether this Extraordinary characteristic could be absorbed by him.

He had the revelation that the blob was dangerous, but barely bearable.

Heh, under normal circumstances, no matter how careful you are, the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 3 are equivalent to poison. If you can make it through, you will be promoted. If you can’t make it, you will go crazy, lose control, or even die suddenly. I hope the owner of this characteristic is not in the process of promotion. The one who died suddenly... Klein stared at the citrine pendant that was rapidly rotating counterclockwise for a few seconds, then pulled up the silver chain and rewound it around his left wrist.

Thoughts flashed through his mind:

"In addition to key words such as 'thriller', 'horror', 'director', and 'incomprehensible ability', the performance of 'The Sorcerer' should also include elements such as mystery, unknown, complexity, and elusive fate. Together is the complete 'Crafting Mage'... This one is the behavior style, and the other is the own attributes..."

"For me, the origin is so mysterious that it involves the terrifying and dangerous existence of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, the experience is so complicated that I have prevented the coming of the true god, scared the true god, and the fate is so unpredictable that even the 'Mercury Snake' can't understand it. , Therefore, it has already been performed in advance, and that part of the potion has been digested naturally, so there is no need to summarize the rules..."

"This really embodies the word 'sly'...but this kind of performance is really..."

Klein shook his head. No matter what, the feeling of being arranged and planned for his life made him physically and mentally exhausted and even angry.

"The ritual of the 'Ancient Scholar' requires being completely divorced from reality for at least 300 years. After I have become history and do not belong to the current era, I will be satisfied with the life of being sealed in a silkworm cocoon and hanging above the gray mist. And more than enough. Moreover, my world has become history, which means that the ancient history I have mastered is definitely far better than any "crafty mage". It can be regarded as a very effective role-playing in advance, which can definitely avoid many dangers... "

As his thoughts raced, Klein took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

But just when he was ready, Medici suddenly spoke again, interrupting his train of thought:

"You are the one favored by God, do you know what the Lord is doing?"

Klein was at a loss for a while, thinking that you, an angel, don't even know what a demigod like me can know?I know what you don’t want to know. For example, the true creator wants me to become a god... Klein pondered for a few seconds, and finally said honestly:
"I do not know."

"But he told me not to pray to him anyway after he's gone."

Medici's eyebrows suddenly frowned, and Klein suddenly felt an extremely dangerous feeling, but this feeling was fleeting, and the red angel had already controlled his emotions again before the light tube on the ceiling flickered. .

"It's okay." He threw the Extraordinary characteristic directly in Klein's direction, "Take it."

Klein hadn't expected that this accommodation method would be so direct and simple, but he was also mentally prepared. Wearing a silk top hat and a double-breasted woolen coat, his skin suddenly became transparent, and a strip containing Dimensional stacked symbols of worms.

Those transparent worms were about to move and touched the surrounding dark mist. Immediately afterwards, that almost weightless extraordinary characteristic floated in front of him, and was attracted and absorbed by Klein, like a dark red light.

Silently, Klein only felt a cold feeling spread through each of the "worms of spirit", accompanied by a little burning pain.

Immediately before his eyes, a familiar, invisible gray-white mist appeared. They enveloped the entire world, showing some of Klein's past experiences below.

There are his stories after he became Klein, and his life when he was Zhou Mingrui.

TBC
------

If there are no other competitors, it will be finally determined as the saint of the secret history. It is very good, and you can tell that you are in the same generation as A.

But A's "secret" is a secret prayer, and Klein's "secret" should be secret.
