Chapter 963: The reverberation of the countertide

This is the "lock" between man and God.

The rules of this world are more cruel than Gawain imagined.

Now, he finally knew why Melita had such painful reactions as if she was on the verge of losing control after she confided in him the secrets about the reverse tide and the gods several times, and what the real mechanism behind it was. ——He once only thought that it was the punishment imposed by the dragon gods on every dragon, but now he discovered that even the aloof Dragon God was just a prisoner under this set of rules.

God is both a chain, a prisoner, and even an executioner at the same time, but this entire "prison" is created by mortals' own beliefs.

The Dragon God saw Gawain thoughtful and silent for a long time, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "What are you thinking about?"

"I just thought of Melita—— She said some old things to me, and now I know how much she risked."

"Ah, Melita...is a child who made a deep impression on me. "The Dragon God nodded, "It's hard to see her complex traits in younger dragons - she maintains strong curiosity, has strong creativity, is keen on action and exploration, and grew up in the cradle of eternity. , but as alive as the creatures 'outside'... The Jury is an ancient and closed organization, but its young members have undergone such changes, which is indeed... interesting."

The ancient and closed review. Are there any enterprising young members in the group...

Gaowen suddenly thought of Melita's origins, and thought that she and her "colleagues" were all born in factories and laboratories. It is a customized employee of the enterprise.

He restrained his slightly wandering thoughts and brought the topic back to the Counter Tide Empire: "So, since the Counter Tide Empire, the Dragon Clan has never interfered in external affairs... But The aftermath of that incident seems to continue to this day? What is the situation with the giant tower northwest of Tallond? "

"You already know a lot about the birth and operation mechanism of gods, so you must I also realized that in this world, a sufficiently powerful group thought can be 'projected' on certain things, thereby causing a 'deification' phenomenon," the Dragon God said unhurriedly, "The one northwest of Tallond. The giant tower...it was originally the legacy of the Sailing Ones, and it was also the place where the 'original enlighteners' among them were allowed to receive the 'inheritance' when the dragons built the Counter-Tide Empire."

"Accept the inheritance?" Wen immediately caught the word, "You mean to use the unique properties of the Sailor's relics..."

Dragon God nodded: "Yes. The Sailor's legacy has recorded data, instilling knowledge and experience , the power that affects the thinking ability of living beings, and with proper guidance, you can roughly choose what kind of knowledge and experience they can pass on - it took the Dragon Clan a while to do this, and then it will be the most popular in the Empire against the tide. Excellent scholars and thinkers were brought to that tower

"Experiments are remarkable.As a result, they created a group of individuals with outstanding wisdom - although mortals can only obtain a small part of the knowledge from the inheritance of the sailors, this knowledge is enough to change the development path of a civilization. ”

Gawain had already guessed what would happen next: “So the subsequent Counter-Tide Empire regarded that high tower as a ‘god-given’ sanctuary? "

"...The dragons did not expect the changeability and short-termness of the short-lived species, and they also misjudged the greed of the civilization at that time," the Dragon God sighed, "Those who returned from the tower Individuals did use their inherited knowledge to make the Counter-Tide Empire quickly grow stronger, but at the same time they also used it to make themselves absolute theocratic leaders - that out-of-control and terrifying faith was established with them as the source.

"In a series of propaganda, the high tower in the Arctic became a holy place where gods descended and blessed. Gradually, it was even said to be the residence of gods on earth. In just a few hundred years, Here, for the Dragon Clan, it was just a blink of an eye. Many generations of the Counter-Tide Empire passed by. They began to worship the tower and built a complete myth and worship system around the tower - so that in the end When the Counter Tide Rebellion broke out, the fanatical believers of the Counter Tide Empire even shouted the slogan of 'Recapture the Holy Land' - they firmly believed that the tower was their holy land, and the Dragon Clan was a heretic who stole the gifts of the gods...

"Therefore, in a sense, that high tower is actually the source of the outbreak of the Counter Tide War - once the fanatical believers of the Counter Tide Empire succeed in polluting the legacy of the Sailors into real 'gods', then the entire The world would have no future. "

Gawain sighed: "I'm not surprised by this - for short-lived species, hundreds of years are enough to completely transform and redress the real history, let alone this This also covers the need for divine authority. So, the counter-tide empire's deification of that tower led to the birth of a... something in that tower? "

"Perhaps we can call it the 'god' of the counter-tide," the Dragon God said lightly. "The hundreds of millions of people in the counter-tide empire firmly believe that there is a god who sends blessings in that tower. , so the gods were born in response to the trend of thought, and the tower left by the sailors was contaminated by divinity... I have to say, this is really ironic.

"In the whole incident, the only thing we are thankful for is that the 'god' born in the tower was not fully formed. Before the situation was irreversible, the Empire of Against the Tide was destroyed, and the people in the tower were The 'gestation' process failed in the last step. Therefore, although the tower was mutated and polluted, it did not produce real sanity and had no ability to take initiative. Otherwise... Tallond today would be a hundred times worse than what you saw. ."

"So the resistance of the Sailor's legacy to the gods is not so absolute and perfect," Gawain laughed. "At least now we know that it is not polluted internally. So effective."

"Maybe... To this day, we still have no way of knowing what happened in that tower.What kind of changes have occurred, and we don’t know what the state of the ‘god of counter-tide’ born in the tower is. We only know that the tower has mutated and become very dangerous, but there is nothing we can do about it. "

Gawain frowned: "Can't you even remove the divine pollution in that tower? "

"I can't get close to the legacy of the Sailor," the dragon god shook his head, "and the dragons can't fight against the 'gods' - even the external gods, even the gods against the tide. ”

“Is this also a ‘lock’? ! ”

“This is also a ‘lock’. "

"Hiss..." Gawain suddenly felt a toothache. This was not the first time he had felt this way since he came into contact with the truth about Tallond. "So that tower is where you guys are. Have you been leaving it at your doorstep? Just leave it like that? "

"There is no choice," Dragon God said calmly, "At least we can always monitor its situation in front of us. If the tower is located elsewhere in the world, the real danger will be - reverse. The faith of the Tide Empire gives the tower a strong tendency to spread knowledge outwards. If it is allowed to come into contact with other mortal civilizations, countless empires against the tide will be born, and countless out-of-control divine disasters will be born who worship the sailors. "

Speaking of this, the Dragon God suddenly glanced at Gawain: "What, are you interested in taking a look at that high tower? Maybe you won't be affected by it-"

"No, thank you," Gawain said without hesitation, "At least for now, I'm not very interested in it. ”

Just kidding, that is a real legacy of the Voyager that has been mutated due to divinity pollution - divinity, mutation, Voyager, basically it has accounted for all the biggest dangerous factors in the world. Wouldn't he want to return to the coffin if he went in hastily in this situation? Gawain believed that he had a certain resistance to divine pollution, but he knew that his resistance came from the sailor, and that tower was the legacy of the sailor after being polluted by the divine. , it is completely unknown whether his resistance will work in front of that tower.

More importantly - he can use the "abandon agreement" to intimidate a rational Dragon God, but there is no way. To intimidate a "god against the tide" who doesn't even seem to have developed a brain. That kind of thing can't be fought, it can't be discussed, and it doesn't have much research value for Gawain... Why test it with your life? ?

In the end, curiosity about the Counter-Tide Empire is only a pastime for Gawain, not a necessity - in his opinion, the degree of necessity is not even as high as the coke in the cup.

p>

He picked up the oak cup filled with "Reflection" and took a sip to calm down.

At a certain moment just now, he actually had another idea - what if. The "fall coordinates" of certain satellites and space stations in the sky are set at that tower. Is it possible to destroy it once and for all?

But this idea only appeared for a moment before it was rejected by Gawain himself? .

Because he was not sure - he was not sure that those space facilities would accurately crash into the tower,There is no guarantee that using the Legacy of the Voyager to destroy the Legacy of the Voyager will have much effect.

As for the former, when he used the Cangqiong Station system to simulate the falling process of on-orbit facilities before departure, Gao Wen discovered that the falling errors of those old antiques were actually horrifyingly large - too old a system. and dynamic deviations caused by energy shortage are affecting their fall accuracy. Although the base of the tall tower may be as large as an island, the fall error of those on-orbit facilities may be directly deflected to Tallond next to it... …

This is why Gawain used abandoned satellites and space stations to intimidate the Dragon God, but never thought of using them on the situation on the Loren continent - there were too many uncontrollable factors. Of course, you don’t need to think too much about using it to hit Tallond. Anyway, the dragon kingdom is so big, and it will definitely have an effect wherever it hits. However, there are many countries in the Loren continent and the forces are complicated. One of the booster engines coming down from the satellite went wrong. It might hit him, not to mention that the thing is so powerful that it is impossible to use it in conventional warfare...

As for the latter... it is even more worth worrying about.

Use the launcher's satellite to smash the launcher's tower - it's okay to smash it into ashes, but if it doesn't work, you might just open a hole in the tower and put the "things" inside Come out? Whose responsibility is this?

After some thinking and weighing, Gawain finally suppressed the urge in his heart to "drag a satellite down to listen to the sound", tried hard to keep a straight face and calm down, and continued with a serious and thoughtful expression. Sip Coke.

The Dragon God glanced at Gawain quietly. Perhaps he was aware of the latter's thinking. Perhaps he was also thinking about the possibility of letting this "outside wanderer" help solve the tower. But in the end He said nothing.

The topic of the Counter Tide Empire and the tower seems to have passed like this.

This seemingly awkward silence lasted for a full two minutes before Gawain suddenly broke the silence: "What exactly is a sailor...?"

"I thought you didn't care about this. "It's very clear," the Dragon God raised his eyes, "after all, you have such a deep connection with those legacies..."

"I just accidentally established a connection with those legacies when I came to this world, "Gawain said calmly - he has been in this world for so many years, and he rarely encounters such occasions where he can speak calmly, but he did not expect that the first person he could talk to openly and openly would be a "god"." I have lived with them for many years, but from those incomplete databases, I did not find any description of the sailors themselves."

The Dragon God's eyes stayed on Gawain's face for a few seconds. It seemed that he was judging the authenticity of this statement, and then he smiled faintly: "The sailors... are also mortals."

"Mortals?" Gawain's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, mortals, even if they are incredibly powerful, even if they can destroy the gods..." Dragon God said calmly, "They still call themselves mortals, and they insist on this."

"Okay...a race that insists on calling itself mortal no matter how powerful it becomes..." Gawain nodded, "Then what? How did they appear?"

"That was an even older era. It was so ancient that the dragon race was just one of several mortal races on this planet. It was so ancient that there were still several civilizations and different gods on this planet... "The Dragon God's voice sounded long, as if it was floating from the other side of the distant historical river, carrying vicissitudes of life and memories, "The sailors came from the depths of the universe and established observation stations and outposts on this planet..."

"They came from the depths of the universe?" Gawain was surprised again, "Didn't they develop from this planet?"

"Of course not," Dragon God Shaking his head, "Their hometown is in a more distant place, an ancient galaxy they call the 'Penal colony'."

"Penal colony?" Gawain couldn't help but frowned, "This It's a strange name... Then why did they establish observation stations and outposts on this planet? Is it for supply? Or for scientific research? At that time, there were already several civilizations on this planet, including dragons. Have they been in contact with the Sailors? Where are they now?"

"They all left with the Sailors - only the Dragon Clan stayed."

"Why? I don’t understand.”

“Because at that time, the dragon clan had developed too much on the wrong path and no longer had the conditions to leave. The sailors... must continue to sail. They still have their own mission. There is no way to stay and wait for the dragons."

Noticing the more confused expression on Gawain's face, the god smiled lightly and the cups on the table were filled again.

"We still have some time - I haven't discussed things about the Sailors with anyone for a long time," He said in a soft voice, "Let me tell you about them from the beginning. ——That’s an incredible group of ‘mortals’.”
