Chapter 473 Londinium (please subscribe!!!)
The invisible field unfolded by the Mithril tag shields the perception of the outside world. In the room, Ma Wei looked at the phantom floating in the air and answered Baji's question: "We dug out some clay pots under the house, these black mud paste, Scraped out of clay pots."

"Is there anything else in the pot?" Budge asked suddenly.

"how do you know?"

"Huh, I didn't expect you to find the soul ointment."

Baji took a deep breath, glanced at the ancient pottery pot aside, and said slowly while thinking: "Soul paste is a special food that appeared in the golden age, and the raw material needed for making it is 'dead soil' that has lost its life. [-]. The "spiritual ointment oil" made by boiling the soul extracted from a living creature, and finally mixed with the "bone powder" of that living creature. It is not complicated to make, and it is usually used to feed the pets of the golden gods food."

While Baji was talking, Ma Wei recorded all the names of the materials he said.

Although I have never heard of the name soul paste, all the raw materials used to make the paste are recorded in ancient books.

The 'dead soil' that has lost its life refers to the special material in alchemy - 'dead matter'.

In alchemy, after all matter dies, it will turn into something like scorched earth. For example, the scorched earth formed after activating the black sun is composed of 'dead earth'.

As for the 'spiritual ointment oil', it is a kind of thick soup made from the souls extracted from living things. It needs to use special means to extract the souls of living things, put them in an airtight container, add white root flower, Hague root, and sage herb, etc. The herbal medicine is refined until the soul and these materials are completely integrated, no more wailing and a thick layer of black oil emerges on the surface, then take the top layer of oil, which is the 'spiritual ointment oil'.

Normally, 'spiritual ointment oil' should be used together with 'bone meal'. The 'bone meal' here refers to the bones in the body of the soul owner, and only the powder ground from the bones of the original owner can be used together with the 'spiritual ointment oil' Blends perfectly without rejection.

The classics only mention that the materials such as "spiritual ointment oil" and "bone powder" will be used in some special sacrificial ceremonies, but I didn't expect that they can also be made into food for pets.
"The pet of the golden gods, do you mean the millipede in the pot?"

"Well, this kind of bug is indeed an angel raised by the golden gods. Your Church of Truth uses cats as angels, and the golden gods use worms, but the cats you raise are ordinary cats, and the golden gods are millipedes. As long as you take the soul ointment for a long time, you will transform and become an extraordinary creature."

Baji looked at the black ointment in the teacup and said: "If, I mean if, if you give the soul ointment to the cats, maybe it can make them transform."

Give fat oranges and them soul ointment?

What a joke.
After taking the soul ointment, the millipede becomes evil and sneaky, so what if it has great power?
What's more, the method of extracting the souls of living creatures to make ointment is too cruel, and Ma Wei is very conflicted in his heart.

"That's not right!" Junia, who was sitting next to her nibbling an apple, asked suspiciously, "Isn't this London? Why are there clay pots from the Golden Age buried underground?"

According to the joint speculation between Mavi and Sherlock Holmes, the golden age should refer to the gods that existed 1 years ago, that is, the era created by the master of the gray skeleton behind the golden gate.

Mentioning this matter, Mavi suddenly thought of Atlantis, and just took this opportunity to ask Budge.

"Badji, have you ever heard of Atlantis?"

"Of course I've heard of Atlantis, the kingdom of God created by the God of Gold. The giant city has been exiled into the endless darkness. Like me, I cannot escape the fate of believing in God. Behind the giant golden gate you see is Atlantis, a city made of gold and mithril , the real city of gold."

There are very few existences that can be recognized by Baji. The legendary city of gold is probably real.

"The people who live on the South Road say that Atlantis is a city driven by giant crystals, and that manned airships were invented. Has the technology of the golden age already developed to that extent?"

"The gods of gold are taking the road of alchemy technology. They have created Mithril, a miraculous material, by virtue of their deep knowledge of alchemy. The birth of Mithril is actually related to me. I call Alchemy God All the crystal cores of the tree were bought, so they had no choice but to invent mithril." Baji said lightly: "In addition to mithril, the golden gods also created the golden law. A power that is close to law, and their accomplishments in alchemy technology can be called miracles, I'm talking about ancient gods."

"Such powerful golden gods were overthrown by the natural gods in the end?" Ma Wei shook his head: "Presumably their attainments in alchemy have not surpassed the ancient gods."

"No, you're wrong." Baji said in a serious tone: "Alchemy indeed developed to its peak in the Golden Age. Since then, alchemy has been declining. It is the fur in the eyes of the gold gods, it was an era that truly belonged to alchemy, everyone including the gods did alchemy, even a child of three or four years old could condense gold from the matter of death."

"If the Golden Age is so powerful, why did the Golden Gods lose to Odin?" Levin asked.

"Because the golden gods are too arrogant, they mastered the golden rule, but encountered a bottleneck, so they taught the alchemy mysteries to humans, and planned to gather all their strength to usher in an era of vigorous development of alchemy, they It did, but the Odin gods, using the alchemy taught by them, created the natural laws of thunder, water and fire."

Baji said quietly: "The birth of belief in gods represents the will of the human race to resist the rule of the ancient gods. The golden age is the peak period for human beings after stealing fire, and it is also the only era for human beings to control their own destiny. Unfortunately, the golden gods are not I didn't lose to the Odin gods, but I lost to fate!"

fate?

Mavi had heard this word many times.

He knew that the system of belief in gods was the product of human beings' rebellion against the rule of ancient gods, but he never imagined that
Destiny would appear in Baji's mouth unexpectedly.

Could it be that even those who initially believed in God believed that there was such a thing as fate in the world?
"The Odin pantheon is very powerful, but they are a generation full of original sin. It also started from the Odin pantheon. The distance between humans and gods has rapidly widened. Humans and gods are no longer close. The power structure has changed. Ding brought order to mankind, but also put shackles on mankind again." Baji said: "This is the fundamental reason why Luca, the god of freedom, betrayed Odin."

Ma Wei was silent, and Levin and Daniel were also silent. Through Baji's narration, they had a general understanding of some inside stories between the gods.

In the golden age, alchemy flourished, everyone could do alchemy, and everyone could master power, but the appearance of cruel potions like soul ointment also meant that the golden age was not as beautiful as they imagined.

Anything flooding can bring disaster, and gold is no exception.

Atlantis is a great kingdom of God. During the period of vigorous development of alchemy, many hidden dangers were suppressed. Once alchemy technology fell into a bottleneck period and could not break through for a long time
Hidden in the dark, hidden dangers that are not easy to detect will explode one after another.

I am afraid that the Odin pantheon seized this opportunity to overthrow the rule of the golden gods.

It is also from the generation of the Odin pantheon that power is no longer owned by ordinary people, but has become the exclusive power of the ruler.

In the final analysis, Atlantis is just the ending after the failure of human ascension.

"You seem to want to follow the old path of the golden gods." Baji looked at Ma Wei and said, "They have proved with practical actions that this path is not feasible."

"It's not fate that the golden gods lost to, but themselves." Ma Wei said softly: "They are a group of very good scientists, but they are by no means good rulers. Odin, they are powerful rulers, But it is by no means an excellent scientist and truth is the product of the perfect combination of governance and science, and I will not make the mistakes that the golden gods have made."

"Perhaps." Baji shook his head, refusing to comment.

"You haven't answered Emma's question yet." Marvie said, "Why are pots from the Golden Age buried underground in London? Isn't the Golden Age 1 years ago?"

"It was indeed 1 years ago, but wasn't the city of London established only in the last 2000 years? It's not surprising that there are ruins from the Golden Age under this city. There are already traces of human survival here. .”

Marvie narrowed his eyes: "Is there a relic of the Golden Age underground in London?"

"I think the ruins should be called Londinium, yes, that's the name."
