In Veronica's sight, one after another Holy Light figures left the Great Hall of Light. The turbulent holy power in the entire space finally gradually calmed down again. She waited until the last bishop also left, Then he turned slightly sideways and looked at Saint Ivan III beside him.
"Your Majesty, do you have something to say to me?"
The old pope was hunched in his gorgeous chair, and the strength of his forcible support seemed to be gradually fading away from him. , even though there was a brilliant holy light descending from mid-air, this holy light could not reverse the fact that the body was constantly weakening. The old man took a few heavy breaths, and then raised his eyelids: "Veronica, the Lord's loyal child, What did you see in the prayer room at the top?"
See the cold snow covering the dirty streets.
“I saw the holy light shining on the world, and the Lord’s pasture was pure.”
I saw people full of desire walking into the church, and wealthy people praying for more blessings. There is so much wealth and wealth, and powerful people pray for more power, but poor people are not even qualified to step into the church and can only kneel and worship on the outermost steps of the cathedral.
“I saw the Lord’s people gathering together in the light of the Holy Light. Their hearts were filled with the power of the Lord and became pure and holy.”
“Very good,” The Pope said slowly, with a calm expression on his face, "Veronica, I don't have much time."
Veronica leaned down: "Your Majesty, your body is still healthy. "
"Don't comfort me, I don't need comfort," the old man shook his head slightly, "I will return to the embrace of the Lord. Recently...I can already see the face of the Lord in the vision. He is standing in the center of the Kingdom of God, smiling at me, and the day of his return will be my most glorious moment...I will never resist it."
The face of the Lord...
< p>Veronica repeated this word in her mind, but what emerged in her mind was a large, amorphous crystal. The true face of the God of Holy Light is still deeply imprinted in her mind to this day. Always lingering."Veronica, I do not resist death, but I am worried that our career will be interrupted by my death," the old pope's voice interrupted Veronica's thoughts, and she heard the old man say Speaking to herself in a slow and firm tone, "Do you remember the revelation you heard from our Lord?"
"Of course you do, I will never forget it," Veronica He replied with a firm face, "The world is being polluted by filth, and gods are unable to save the world. Among the gods, only the Holy Light is the ultimate salvation - the Lord's will will guide all mortals through the final disaster."
“The Holy Light is the only salvation,” St. Ivan III slowly closed his eyes. “Perhaps many people will not understand what we are going to do, but we must do it because the Lord will Awakening from ignorance... is to give us the mission of saving all sentient beings."
"I am willing to take on this mission and make the faith of the Holy Light the only one in this world..."
"Very well, child, the Lord is pleased with your words," St. Ivan III's voice gradually deepened, as if he had fallen into sleep, "The Holy Light is the only salvation, the only one..."
Veronica leaned down next to the Pope who was gradually falling asleep, and recited in a low voice piously: "The Holy Light is the only salvation..."
...
"Calculus is our path!" In the comprehensive analysis room of the Rune Research Institute, Kamel floated high, and dozens of manuscript papers were suspended beside him under the control of magic power. They are all calculation formulas and data converted into curve charts. "The Lord has lit a bright light for us!"
Rebecca, Jenny and a dozen assistants (including those who have just been added in the past two days) Several newcomers) stood nearby rather helplessly, watching the ancient magician so excited that he ascended to the sky (literally). It wasn’t until Kamel calmed down a little that Jenny couldn’t help but say: “Kamal Master Er, can you come down? The ceiling... the magic crystal lamp on the ceiling has almost been burned out by you."
"Oh?" Kamel quickly lowered the height. Why do you feel so hot around your head?"
Rebecca looked at the luminous mage in front of her with admiration: "Master Kamel, you are so powerful with these things! Have you mastered it? I have listened to my ancestors for a long time and studied it myself, but I still haven’t fully understood it yet..."
"This is because of your generational changes - or In the words of the lord, your function foundation is not solid enough," Kamel said while manipulating magic power to neatly return the manuscript papers to their original positions, "We were using various mathematical tools to solve problems back then. So I will adapt to this new field faster, but don’t be discouraged. Your mathematical ability is very strong, and your talent in this area is better than that of most ordinary researchers at that time. You will be able to fully master these things very quickly. "
After saying that, the ancient magician couldn't help but sigh: "When it comes to being powerful, your ancestor is the most powerful... I simply can't imagine how he mastered so much. Knowledgeable... Not only is he a legendary knight, but he also understands magic, runes, mathematics, and even the skills to draw maps..."
"I don't know why my ancestors are so powerful. But he is really powerful," Rebecca scratched her hair sheepishly, as if she was the one being praised, "He is a legendary hero, and he conquered half of this country's territory!"
Kamail turned around and looked at the assistant researchers around him who were casting curious glances. He was in a very happy mood now, and even his whole body glowed with a light blue light when he spoke: "Every one of us must master this new mathematical tool - I have discussed with Jenny that in the future, without affecting the research tasks, everyone must learn calculus!"
Jenny smiled and nodded, indicating that thisThe matter had been approved by her, and Rebecca next to her encouraged the researchers with a happy smile: "Don't worry, everyone, this is actually not difficult! Although I haven't fully learned it yet, I think this kind of thing only needs to be studied It will take ten days and a half to almost figure it out..."
The assistant researchers at the scene began to nod in confusion, while Jenny lowered her voice and muttered to Kamel next to her: "Rebecca Do you know that your mathematical abilities are different from those of ordinary people?"
"Looking at this, you probably don't know..."
"I'm mainly worried about how difficult these are. The recruited assistant apprentices will run away after seeing the calculus..."
"It's okay, I have already welded the door shut."
< p>"It's a way of describing me, Lord, to express the belief that I will never back down."Jenny continued to look confused: "?"
And this At this moment, Gaowen himself, who had released the demon "Calculus", had no idea what was happening in the Rune Research Institute. At this time, he was busy studying with Amber to complete the training of the first batch of operatives of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Then there was the matter of integrating these people into Cecil’s business network.
Because as early as the establishment of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce, Gawain had reserved many positions in the system where intelligence personnel could be placed, so the work itself was not difficult. He just put his After explaining the idea to Amber, the half-elf can figure out the next thing by himself.
“Now our business network has begun to take effect. Merchants from various places will spontaneously send some information to the chamber of commerce headquarters. When professional intelligence personnel also enter this system, Cecil will lead The eyes and ears have been completely completed." After explaining the matter clearly, Gawain leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, "Please help me think about what else is missing." p>
"Is there anything I'm missing? Is there anyone more cunning than you in this world?" Amber couldn't help but roll her eyes at Gawain, "Sometimes I don't even know about your heroic legends seven hundred years ago. It’s all true and false—it’s clear in the legend that you are a guy who solves problems by charging, slashing, whirlwinding and cutting down the whole crowd, but it turns out that you are even more slippery than those conspirators when it comes to scheming others here…”
“Legends and stories must be artistically processed by later generations. Moreover, in my era when territories were being opened up, people generally liked to solve problems by cutting everything down, so when describing who and so-and-so were very powerful, everyone would They all say that this man is very good at slashing - did you know that Duke Franklin, who killed the general of the orc invasion force on the battlefield, was actually better at cooking?"
"Duke Franklin? That old ancestor of the Franklin family?"
"Yes, he is a master of jumping chops with one hand. He has killed two legends and at least a hundred high-level extraordinary beings head-on. He is best at carving patterns on radishes. , I would practice with radishes when I had nothing to do - and after I finished practicing, I would greet us over.Eating radishes, so our four founding Dukes and King Charles himself did not like to eat radishes after the founding of the country - this is never mentioned in the history books. "
Hubo was stunned for a while as she listened, but she suddenly discovered a blind spot: "Oh no, I saw you were quite excited about eating radishes at dinner last night. "
Gawain was startled for a moment, realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, but his reaction was also extremely fast: "Didn't I recover after not eating for seven hundred years? "
Hubo touched his chin and fell into thinking: "emmmm...can we still recover like this..."
Gawain glanced at Amber with guilt and embarrassment. , intending to say something to distract the half-elf, but just before he spoke, he suddenly felt a slight ripple in his spiritual world.
This feeling is difficult to describe in words. Ordinary people may even associate it with a brief trance or distraction. However, Gawain did not let go of this slight sense of dissonance. He immediately realized that it was not his spiritual world that was rippled, but What is "connected" to my spiritual world?
Is it the spiritual network of the Eternal Sleepers?
Have the connection been reestablished? Are their servers finally open for public testing? Is his account back?
At this moment, a lot of unreliable and unreliable thoughts came out of Gawain's mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He suddenly ended the current topic and looked at Amber with a serious face: "I want... to take a nap, and you will stay by my side. "
"Huh? ”
