On the tenth day after winter began, the brick kiln and magic crystal smelting plant in New Cecil Territory completed the overall expansion and renovation.
The putting into use of mining machines has ensured a steady increase in steel production, and the steady increase in steel production has ensured that machinery and equipment in other parts of the territory can be started smoothly one after another. In the brick kiln factory and magic crystal smelting In the factory, new molding machines, crushers, tunnel kilns and higher-power honeycomb magic nets have replaced the old equipment, which has also prompted these factories to be renovated and rebuilt in advance - although in the minds of many people, those areas that occupy the territory are The rather large "factory area" was already a very impressive large-scale building, but in Gao Wen's eyes, they were always just larger work sheds. It was not until all factories completed at least one expansion that they would become more or less in his mind. The shadow of "factory".
The territory is changing every day. Sufficient food reserves and heating supplies ensure the maintenance of personnel, and Nicholas Egg’s incredible metal control power allows machines and equipment to be printed in batches. As the project progressed from drawings to reality, Gao Wen would see a lot of progress reports on his desk every day. Although reviewing these reports was quite mentally demanding, he enjoyed them.
It is much more comfortable to read the report than to kill the cultists with a knife - the latter only means that someone is being harmed by those villains, while the former means everyone in the territory Everything is getting better and better.
But besides reading the report, Gawain also had other things to do.
The "soul lantern" recovered from Kant was placed on his desk, and the lantern was emitting a weak and pure white light.
When I just left Kant's territory, this lantern always seemed not "stable". It continued to emit a lavender light mist that was like starlight, and as long as someone came into contact with it, it would become unstable. You will hear vague and strange sounds, not to mention other effects such as causing hallucinations and nightmares. In addition, it cannot be activated and used in the way Gawain remembers. It seems that even if he leaves, Lilith Kant, the "user", seemed to be unable to dissipate the negative power entrenched in the lantern, so Gawain had to temporarily seal it up and put it in a storage warehouse in the mountain ruins.
But yesterday the soldiers on guard suddenly came to report that the purple starlight of the lantern had faded.
It's back to normal - or so it seems. It seems that the evil rituals performed by the Eternal Sleeper cultists cannot accumulate energy for a long time. As long as the ritual is terminated, the power of the nightmare in the lantern will quickly decline.
Gawain picked up the lantern and carefully observed its crystal shell and exquisite brass base. Through the translucent crystal shell, you can see very complex runes flowing slowly inside. Everything is similar to how it looked seven hundred years ago.
This lamp is not a product of the ancient Gondor Empire. In fact, its technology comes from the dwarf kingdom in the west of the continent.Mining enthusiasts often give people the impression of being rude, but in fact they are experts at processing exquisite props. They are especially good at combining crystals and metals to form various incredible magic props. The "Dream Lantern" was a The proud work of a renowned dwarf craftsman.
In Gawain's memory, in addition to enhancing the power of dream magic and protecting the user's spiritual body, this lamp also has some strange little functions.
He put his hand on the lantern, infusing it with magic slightly without fully activating it, and in the process, he sketched the figure of Selina Gerfen in his mind. , and silently recite the other person's name in your heart.
After a few seconds, some messy and broken pictures began to appear in his mind.
He "saw" himself floating in a position more than one meter above the ground, his perspective shaking slightly from left to right. In the peripheral vision next to him, he could see a female figure wearing a moon-white priest robe, and even more. Further away, you can see something similar to tents and simple houses.
Gowen felt a surge of excitement: The information has indeed not disappeared yet!
This is the unique function of the "Dream Lantern" - after injecting the appropriate magic power, it can be used to record some images and sounds, and through a special extraction method, it can reproduce the records. in the user's mind. Selina Gerfen often used this function to record the scenes along the pioneering journey. On a few occasions, she even successfully used this method to convey crucial information.
The only thing Gawain is worried about is whether the new owner of the lamp has also enabled this function after Selina's death - in this way, Selina Golfen's "video" It will be overwritten by new users, but now it seems that only Selena herself and him know this secret function.
The first scene was a scene from the pioneering journey. These things were also in Gawain Cecil's memory, so Gawain quickly skipped them. Soon, he found the scene near the end. of those records.
He hoped that Selina Gerfen would maintain the habit of recording meaningful images at any time and record the scenes that he wanted to know most.
Finally, another picture appeared. Gawain "saw" Selina Gale walking on a rugged mountain road, and many people wearing priest costumes or church people could be seen in front and behind the road. A "pilgrim" wearing armor and a solemn face.
In the next scene, Gawain saw an open area on the top of the mountain. A huge altar was arranged. Priests and church knights stood around the altar. In the distance, clouds and mist could be seen. The undulating mountains are looming in the sea of clouds.
It is the Peak of the Ancestors! It was the ceremony seven hundred years ago where the top leaders of the major churches worked together to communicate with the gods!
"I'm a little nervous, everyone's expressions are very nervous, I hope everything goes well."
Gawain suddenly heard a vague and low female voice ringing in his mind , after being stunned for two seconds,Only then did he realize that it was the voice of Selena Gelfen - the Dream Priestess who seemed to be recording her feelings at the ceremony.
This is also her habit.
Then the screen shook for a while, and Selena seemed to be moving. After the screen stabilized, Gawain saw familiar figures appearing next to the large altar in the center of the open space.
He saw the Pope of the Holy Light Church, the Pope of the God of War Church, the Grand Priest of the Holy Spirit Sect, as well as the Popes and Holy Sees...
That was all the sects the supreme leaders.
At this point in time, the "Religious Peace Agreement" or the "Ancestral Peak Agreement" has not yet been signed, and various sects are still in a state of opposition. However, there is no outside speculation about this scene on the Ancestor's Peak. Although the atmosphere among the leaders of various sects was tense and solemn, it was more due to the ceremony itself than their religious stance.
It seems that before communicating with the gods, these sect leaders have reached a consensus on peace? Even the leaders of the Church of Dreams, Church of Storms, and Druid Church, which later degenerated into dark sects, have agreed with this consensus?
Various speculations emerged in Gawain's mind, and in the process, he saw a religious leader walking out from the crowd.
The other person was wearing a solemn black robe and a wooden mask with patterns of constellations and eyes on his face. Gawain hesitated for a moment and recognized that this was the Pope of the Church of the God of Dreams seven hundred years ago - Mei Gall III.
The pope stood in front of the altar, then took off his mask and robe, stood there wearing only short casual clothes, and began to receive blessings from leaders of other sects, and what happened next made him Gawain was confused:
After other sect leaders blessed Megall III, several great magicians came forward - these spellcasters who were not priests began to curse Megall III. Release one spell after another.
Those are all kinds of protection. Almost all the protective spells that Gawain can name have been released on the body of the Dream Pope, and from those worn by the great magicians, It can be seen from their robes and their temperament that each of them is very powerful, and the effect of those protective spells can be imagined.
After receiving the blessing of protective spells, Megall III began to wear a set of strange "clothes" with the help of others. The clothes did not have the splendor and elegance of the priest's robes, but only It can be described as ugly. It has a thick multi-layered structure, with one-piece gloves and shoes. Everything is covered tightly, and extremely complicated magic patterns can be seen on each layer of fabric.
It wasn’t until Megall III put on a strange spherical helmet made of crystal that Gawain finally woke up to what it was:
It was a magical version of aerospace. Clothes!
Selena’s voice came from outside the screen at the same time: “…...The pope has received blessings and magical blessings, and has also put on a protective vestment specially made according to the 'divine revelation' prompts to withstand the power of the gods. To be honest, that dress is ugly, but it has the function it should have We have everything, I hope everything goes well..."
With Selina praying softly, Gawain saw Megall III walking to the altar, and at the same time two more people came out , standing at two special nodes on the outer edge of the altar.
They are the Pope of the God of Storms and the Druid Archbishop of the Holy Spirit Sect.
They seem to be standing together. The Pope, the god of dreams, in the center of the altar exchanged something, but their voices were not recorded in the video. Due to the angle of the picture, Gawain could not read any information from their lips. He could only read the shape of the altar. It is judged that the two sect leaders will participate in the next ceremony and may take certain risks.
Then the ceremony begins.
A rune on the altar. Lighting up one after another, the majestic energy released by the divine magic array made the surrounding air slightly distorted. Megall III, whose whole body was shrouded in a "space suit", raised his hand and addressed the pope and the pope around the altar. , the Holy Sees waved vigorously.
Then a ray of white light fell from the sky, and the figure of Megall III disappeared instantly in the white light.
At the same time, the screen fell into darkness—— The record ends here.
There seems to be some powerful energy that ends Selena Gerfen's "recording" early.
