Although it has been decided that the "God Sample" cannot be put back into the Shadow Realm, exactly where to store it is a big problem. Putting it on the territory will definitely not work - this thing is different from the conventional The excavated objects are different, and they are not a big lump of iron that is harmless to humans and animals like Nicholas' eggs. The existence of divine tissue cells itself is fatal to mortals. Even if they just take a close look, people will die and go crazy. , so it must be placed away from people, but at the same time, it must be ensured that it is under complete control.
After thinking about it, it seems that the ruins in the mountain itself are the best place to contain them.
Gawain took out the map drawn by Byron and quickly found a place that met his requirements: in the large corridor in the middle area of the ruins, there was a vast empty room near the southwest corner. The room was once a laboratory, so it was strong and easy to defend.
And more importantly, that room is quite far away from the rotunda.
Although I don’t know if there are things in this rotunda that can react with the flesh and blood of gods, but keeping the distance between the two will make people feel more at ease.
Gawain pointed at the map and ordered: "Store the things in this room and pack them with opaque cloth or boxes. From now on, no matter what the circumstances, unless I am present, otherwise We must ensure that this sample is completely covered, and no part of it is exposed to ordinary people's sight. Hetty, the magic door in the room itself has been damaged. Go and reset its mechanism to ensure that it will not be used casually. Open. That room will be regarded as a 'restricted area' from now on, and no one is allowed to enter unless I give permission." Byron and Hetty nodded in agreement, and then Byron asked again: "Sir, room. Are there any guards left outside?"
Gawain nodded: "Leave two guards and send two more groups to work with them. The room must be guarded 24 hours a day. In addition, the most reliable one must be chosen. Soldiers, to prevent overly curious people from seeking death."
After giving these instructions, Gawain breathed out, but his heart did not feel much lighter. .
He seemed to understand a little bit how Viscount Andrew felt at the time - digging up a huge treasure turned out to be a hot potato.
It is almost impossible to imagine how much of a storm this thing can cause in this world. The power, knowledge and wealth it can bring are immeasurable, but it may bring The same is true for the dangers that come. Gawain was not an adventurous person in his previous life. According to his own personality, when he dug out this kind of thing, he would have wanted to throw it as far as he could to someone who was taken advantage of (such as a certain person). Cult) that was better, but now, his character has changed more or less.
He really can't control his curiosity about "gods", especially now that he realizes that "gods" may have a connection with him, this curiosity is even more uncontrollable.
Those flesh and blood organizations will be suppressed by themselves. Those gods may have died at the hands of a powerful civilization with a fleet. It is very likely that he will possess a satellite after traveling through time. This satellite may be that powerful civilization. left behind, so his suppression of the flesh and blood of the gods is mostly related to his identity as a "satellite spirit"; on the other hand, the eternal tablet also records the truth about the death of the gods, and the eternal tablet itself is in the process of establishing contact with him It also shows special characteristics. Thinking of the crystal inlaid on the fragments of the stone slab, maybe it is also a relic of that powerful civilization...
As for why it should be eternal as a "god-killer's object" Instead, the stone slab carries the knowledge of the gods and brings religious enlightenment to the mortals on this planet, which Gawain still cannot figure out.
Gawain vaguely felt that he had been involved in all of this and could not escape. It could even be said that he was not just involved in the whirlpool - he himself was part of the whirlpool.
“What happened here today must be kept secret,” Gawain whispered, and looked at Knight Byron, “Byron, you and your people continue to explore this ruins, but as long as you discover and Places with similar styles here must be sealed as soon as possible until I can confirm them in person. This is to prevent you from accidentally coming into contact with things related to God."
Byron lowered his head deeply: "I understand, sir."
"Ancestor, these original manuscripts..." Hetty pointed to the original manuscripts that had been collected on the table not far away, which were the ones that recorded a certain madness. The ancient parchment that people were murmuring like crazy, "Should we take it back or what?"
Gawain glanced at the manuscripts, and couldn't help but look at the bloody skeleton on the ground nearby that was rapidly decomposing and dissipating. , he had already vaguely guessed where those manuscripts came from: they were probably left by this monster.
The human experiments conducted here by the Gondor Empire produced many failed experimental subjects. When they evacuated, most of the experimental subjects were destroyed, but some seemed to be directly left in culture. In the container, it was sealed instead of burned - this may also be for some research purposes, but it is obvious that the researchers who left never came back.
A certain experimental subject sealed in the container did not die as a result. On the contrary, he (or it) continued to be affected by the flesh and blood of the god in the experimental device, and has survived to this day, and in the process Special abilities have been developed in it, so that it can escape from the cultivation tank and achieve a certain degree of freedom of movement.
It even retained the ability to think for a time.
But no matter what, now it is just a pile of debris that is constantly decomposing.
"Seal it together with this sealing crystal," Gawain finally decided. "This crystal cube is named the original sample and is numbered No. 1. The manuscript will be regarded as the No. 1 derivative of the original sample. . If similar weird things are discovered in the ruins again, they will be numbered and preserved according to this rule."
After finishing dealing with the ruins in the mountain, it was already night when Gawain returned to his territory.
Bright magic crystal lamps have been lit up on the main roads and several important places in the territory.
Due to the realization of Magic Network technology and the trial operation of the new "Hive Magic Network" in some key areas, the territory no longer has to rely on torches and braziers for lighting after dark as it did at the beginning. In various factories, research facilities, night school areas, and the main roads of the territory, the magic crystals that rely on the continuous power supply of the magic network to stay on all night bring long-term and stable light, and night lighting can accelerate the development of the territory. important guarantee.
Without cheap, stable and reliable night lighting, people can only work during the day, and many projects that require 24-hour continuous operation cannot be carried out. Night school education and factory assembly lines will be affected by this. . On Earth, the emergence of electric lights has brought about great changes in people's work and lifestyle, turning human civilization into a powerful machine that operates day and night. In this world, high-quality night lighting technology has actually already appeared. The magic crystal for lighting that can be artificially synthesized is not too expensive. The only thing that limits its development is the backwardness of energy.
Without a highly compatible magic network, traditional magic crystals must rely on the continuous infusion of magic power by the mage to light up, leaving the noble mage to light up hundreds of magic lamps like a handyman. Is it something that ordinary people can imagine, running around all night between crystal lamps and pouring magic? Therefore, the only castles that can be brightly lit at night are the castles of kings and lords. For those civilians who have to be careful about lighting oil lamps, they simply cannot imagine the so-called "nightlife".
We should be grateful to the Magic Network, which makes up for the shortcomings of the magic crystal lamp and reduces the maximum magic cost to almost zero. The remaining magic power that cannot be used up in various factories is enough to light up. Lights throughout the camp.
By the light, Gawain returned to his tent. He glanced at the tent he had lived in for several months, shook his head and laughed.
It is indeed time for him to move out of the tent - the brick kiln factory is on the right track, the first batch of brick houses have begun to be built in the territory, and the wooden houses have even entered the phase of elimination. He The lord is still living in a tent. This fact will really shock many people's jaws.
Some people speculate that this is because the lord cherishes his people, and some speculate that this is because the lord is frugal by nature as a pioneer back then, but in fact it is because Gawain designed the style of residence he needs very early— - Including the storage room, magic laboratory, weapons room, kitchen sewer system, etc., etc., it was impossible to build it at the early level of the territory, and Gawain was too lazy to build a temporary wooden house and then demolish it, so he simply waited until today. Once the conditions are met, it will be done in one step.
As soon as Gawain entered the tent, he saw Betty, who was sleeping soundly on her table. The little maid must have been sleeping here for a long time. Judging from the range of her saliva, she was lying on her back. At leastStarts in an hour.
But although Betty slept soundly, she was particularly sensitive to Gawain's footsteps. As soon as the latter came within three meters of her, the girl suddenly raised her head and said with stunned eyes. : "Sir, you're back - I didn't sleep, so I just lay down for a while..."
"Slobber," Gawain looked at the somewhat dull little girl in a funny way, "wipe the saliva." "
"Oh."
Gawain was curious: "Why are you waiting here?"
Betty thought about it carefully. Why did I fall asleep lying on the table, and then finally remembered what I was doing: "Ah, I remember! Miss Rebecca and Miss Jenny came to see you!"
"What are you looking for me for..." Gawain waved his hand in the middle of his sentence, "Oh, you must have forgotten."
"I won't forget this time!" Betty said with her head raised and chest puffed out, and then she was delighted. He took out a small book from the pocket of the maid's skirt and opened it solemnly, "Miss Jenny wrote it on here for me! They said... they calculated the rune model, the rune model... Master, I don’t know this word!”
Gawain looked over, surprised and dumbfounded: “Let me see… This is the meaning of scorching ray. Very good, I’m waiting. With this good news, go and call them!”
