Since the beginning of winter, Aldernan has experienced two consecutive major drops in temperature. The continuous sudden drop in temperature has caused the city to lose all its autumn colors. A layer of yellow and gray tones covers the streets and alleys, and fog As in previous years, it enveloped the city on the plain on time - looking out from the high tower of the Obsidian Palace, the rows of rooftops and towers far and near once again became looming silhouettes and isolated islands in the sea of ??fog, with a An unreal haziness.
Rosetta Augustus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, staring in the direction of the church area for a long time without saying a word, and the religious building with the iron-gray spire also treated him silently.
The emblem of the God of War that once fluttered over the church has now been replaced by the flag of the Typhon Empire. Although the church reliefs inlaid on the outer walls of the church are still there, they seem to have lost the mysterious and noble atmosphere they once had. They are invisible to ordinary people. In "Perspective", the extraordinary and holy atmosphere that once filled the magnificent building has disappeared. Now, what it can bring to the world is only simple spiritual comfort and architectural aesthetic value.
In the square in front of the cathedral, visiting citizens were walking through the fog in twos and threes and up the long steps. Royal guards stood on both sides of the steps in front of the church, silently watching everything going on around the square. The new-faced "church tour guide" "Welcome the crowd gathered in front of the main entrance. These smiling people have decorations from the old God of War Church hanging on their bodies, with a "Scenic Area Guide" sign on their chests, and waving eye-catching red or yellow flags in their hands - - Whenever a new group of visitors arrives, they will begin to explain the murals and reliefs on the walls, and introduce the candlesticks and sculptures scattered in the prayer hall.
From the religious legends behind these things, to the symbolic meanings they have in church activities, from the history of the Church of God of War, to the secrets surrounding these things.
Those who could stand up to resist this "rebellious act" are all dead. Ordinary believers have no determination and awareness to resist the changing customs. Most of the remaining people who cannot accept this change can only lament the past time at home. Curse the "Beat Era" in a tavern, or cry bitterly in the security punishment room.
These small problems no longer need to be personally concerned by the rulers of the empire. They are some debris left behind by the advancement of the times, and sooner or later they will gradually fade away.
Rosetta Augustus withdrew her gaze and returned to her desk. Princess Matilda, who was wearing a black dress and a golden chain hanging from her hair, stood aside. Seeing her father come back to his senses, this The crown prince continued to report what he had just said: "At present, the remaining forces of the God of War Church across the country have been completely decomposed and cleaned up, and the remaining churches, fields, chambers of commerce and other properties have been nationalized, more than half of which Churches have been closed or used for other purposes, but according to your instructions, some churches with historical significance or special influence in the local area have been reopened to the public after being renovated and used as cultural activity facilities for local residents
"A series of newly compiled publicity and popularization materials about the history and unofficial history of the Ares Church have been promoted across the country. They will work together with those churches that have reopened. The current pilot results in the Orlandale and Talenkins areas are very impressive. Satisfied, but the pilot projects in Duvosun County and Enchhok County have encountered greater resistance. The local people¡¯s beliefs are stable, and it may take some time for the new policy to be effective"
"The Typhon people have respected the belief in the God of War for hundreds of years, and it has become a part of many people's living habits," Rosetta said calmly, "But the stage of fierce confrontation has passed, and we cannot regard the people as enemies - gentle The guidance process always requires some patience. Don't worry, Matilda, the all-round influence has already begun. People from the old era will eventually grow old, and their next generation will inevitably grow up in an environment that has changed. In the minds of the new generation, the 'Church of the God of War' is a historical term that is an established fact."
He raised his head, looked through the large crystal glass window, and once again landed on the spire of the Church of the God of Mars: "After people get used to the half-price tickets to the church and the paid photos in front of the shrine, everything will no longer be a problem."
"What is the 'desanctification' that Emperor Gawain Cecil said" Matilda couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on her face, and there was a hint of admiration deep in her eyes, "The church is open with tickets. There were photos taken with the shrines and statues, and special snacks and handicrafts were sold in the assembly square When it came to eliminating the influence of the Church of the God of War, Hardilon and I only thought of demolishing the church and disbanding the priests, but we never thought that things could still be like this. manage¡¡"
"In a sense, Gawain Cecil was our teacher - he personally showed us how to make a sacred thing secular, and in the process made it easier for most ordinary people to accept changes," Rosetta said calmly, "it's not??Then the ray bombardment will only leave two clear traces on the thin plate, but if magic is a wave, then"
Windsor took the initiative to speak before Kamel finished speaking: "Like two ripples spreading in the pool water, the two beams of energy shot from the slit will interfere with each other during the transmission process, and what finally appears on the thin plate should be Stripes formed by interference.¡±
"today, we already have a lot of indirect evidence and theoretical speculation to support this conjecture," Kamel nodded slightly, "but researchers need more than just these conjectures, we need an irrefutable Empirical evidence - environmental limitations have kept us at this final 'verification step' for many years, until today"
He raised his head, and his eyes filled with arcane brilliance slowly swept across this huge space. The simple and magnificent amphitheater rushed towards him, and the layers of circular stands extended upwards in his field of vision. There were empty seats lined up, and a huge throne stood at the end of the arena. The phantom of a giant wearing iron-gray armor sat on the throne. The empty helmet was slightly lowered, as if there was an illusory sight watching the arena. In the center, watching this small group of mortals who are boldly trying to explore the truth.
Kamel seemed to have the illusion of being watched by countless eyes, but this illusion only made him laugh softly.
He turned to look next to the test stand, where a Magic Network terminal was running quietly. A holographic projection from a distance was projected over the terminal. A tall silver elf with a mature and beautiful face was standing in the projection and looking at the test site. scene.
"I really wish I could be here," the great astromancer Villania couldn't help but said with some regret, "Unfortunately, I am far away from the extreme south of the continent."
"With the help of modern equipment, you can still witness all this, Ms. Villania," Kamel couldn't help but smile and said, "And the Kingdom of the God of War is here, and it will not run away for at least a few decades, and we There are more conjectures that can be tested in this special experimental space - what you missed is just the 'first game'."
"I'm starting to feel more and more regretful," Villania, who was opposite the holographic projection, couldn't help but sigh, "Master Kamel, let's get started."
Kamel nodded and ordered the assistant on the side: "Activate the shield."
An assistant immediately stepped forward and activated the shielding device around the platform. Several runes set on the edge of the platform lit up, and the crystals inlaid around the runes also began to emit a steady light - this shielding device was certainly not designed to block the environment. The magic background interference in the system (first of all, this interference cannot be blocked with current technology, and secondly, there is no such interference in the Kingdom of the God of War). Its real function is to prevent on-site communication devices, recording equipment and other things from releasing The magic power affects the accuracy of the observation results.
After the shielding device is activated, the energy source is activated.
Kamel cast his gaze towards the platform, looking at the rune drag chain extending from the end of the arcane energy source.
In his original plan, he needed to use a powerful magic storage device to provide magic power for this experimental device - such as the "magic charging treasure" he is dragging behind him now.
But now they have a better optiona more powerful and reliable source of magic.
A hand reached out from the side, grabbed the rune drag chain, and curiously fiddled with the metal hinge at its end.
The three-meter-tall Myrmina bent slightly and smiled while studying the experimental equipment in front of her. As the "goddess in charge of the mysteries of magic" in mortal legend, she was like every mortal present, and her heart was full of The desire to explore and seek knowledge.
¡°Just inject magic into it, right?¡± She raised her head and looked at Kamel with a smile on her face.
"Yes," Kamel nodded slightly, "but be careful not to burn the device - it cannot withstand your full strength."
"No need to worry," Myrmina held the rune drag chain with one hand and gave a thumbs up with the other hand. At this moment, she no longer looked like a god at all - but she was closer to the real god than she had been in the past thousands of years. "The Secret of Magic", "No one knows how to control the flow of magic better than I do."
As she finished speaking, the surface of the silver-white rune drag chain in her hand was already glowing with light blue runes.
The device is started.
A low hum came from the arcane energy source, and the original magic power injected into it began to quickly transform into pure experimental energy. At this moment, everyone held their breath and focused their attention on the alloy sheet at the end of the device. .
There is no earth-shattering movement, no stunning light and shadow, and there is no need for more twists and turns, more thrills and more fog.
The truth unveils its veil quietly.
The alternating light and dark interference fringes appear in front of everyone.
