Chapter 1,404 The World Is About to Change

This civilization located in the "Three No Ones" zone also has surprising complexity - but it seems wrong to sigh like this. The complexity of a civilization does not depend on whether it is located in the "Three No Ones" zone. I just didn't expect its history to be so Just a mess. ◎Literary Museumr />

Regarding the Dark Moon War, we first eliminate the speculation about the star domain artifacts and interpret it purely from the perspective of the locals. In fact, this is the process: in the primitive era, the world was peaceful. Although the various races could not be said to be harmonious, they were in harmony, but peaceful. It always has to be broken. When the wheel of history reaches a certain juncture, one race suddenly slaps another race. This slap was very hard and directly angered, so the two races immediately broke into a deadly fight. As the battle escalated, the deadly fight between the two groups finally broke out the long-suppressed conflicts of each race, and developed into World War. The two sides fought from the ground to the moon and then from the moon to the ground. The weapons they used became more and more frantic, and finally alerted the "goddess". The goddess came over to take a look at the situation and found that the weapons used by one group of people were obviously highly harmful and highly polluting contraband (black witchcraft), so she knocked these people over in an attitude of being responsible for world peace, but she didn't know what happened. For what reason (we assume that God loves the world), this "goddess" did not kill all the high-polluting people who had no ability to resist, but divided the world into two parts on the spot: the earth and the moon, and then killed all the defeated parties. He blasted to the dangerous moon and cut off the passage between the earth and the moon with one sword.

Afterwards, the people on earth were finally able to live in peace. In the spirit of educating the next generation, they changed the names of the moon and the people on the moon, and drew all the names of the enemies in black boxes in all textbooks to prove their integrity...

The above process is known as the first "Dark Moon War" in history.

This is a very magnificent story, and it also proves that this world has a very complicated history due to the many races, but the most eye-catching thing about this history is another point: this kind of "Dark Moon War" that devastated all living beings actually happened five times! It's exactly the same every time. And now it looks like it’s going to happen a sixth time...

Bingtis and I looked at Ron, and Ron looked at us. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Just now, we were chatting with Bingtis in the spiritual world, and we forgot about the person next to us. Ron was probably there. In the eyes of us, this is the behavior of deserting in the middle of the lecture. Fortunately, this fat, dark man basically did this in every class in the seminary. He didn't seem to pay much attention to it, but asked us if there was anything we were unclear about. I know that things about the Dark Moon War should be common knowledge among women and children in this world, but there are too many things we need to ask. At this moment, he couldn't care about trivial matters such as arousing suspicion, and Bingtis asked casually: "In the end of every Dark Moon War, the goddess comes out to save the world, right?"

I have decided that if Ron is curious about why a supposedly knowledgeable conjurer doesn't even understand this, I will explain to him that Bingtis's history was taught by her PE teacher, and her PE teacher used to be a carpenter... …

"Of course she is the goddess. She is the only being who can kill Lord Dark Moon," Ron's big face that was full of revenge for society also had a sacred and solemn expression. He proudly held the Bible to his chest, He also spoke in a formal manner, "Whenever the Dark Moon War breaks out, the Goddess Cult will become the core of the coalition, and all believers have a heavy responsibility. We are both soldiers and the medium to summon the goddess to come to the world. Only with enough believers and enough devout prayers can we Strengthen the connection between the divine world and the human world so that the goddess can know what is happening here and come to stop the Dark Moon people."

"Strengthening the connection between the divine world and the human world?" Bingtis suddenly frowned. "What does this mean?"

Ron glanced at Bingtis strangely: "Aren't you a magician? Although he is not a priest, magicians seem to like studying the bridge between the gods and the human world."

Bingtis waved his hand: "Just think of me as a non-mainstream magician at the junction of urban and rural areas. What is the bridge between the gods and the human world? How is the connection? Are you summoning the goddess to come to this world or what?"

I helped: "She is a self-taught magician by Ye Luzi, but recently she has also become interested in this professional knowledge: don't you see that now she has begun to like studying the bridge between the gods and the human world?"

"Oh." Ron raised his shoulders, "It's actually quite simple. The goddess is in the divine world, and there is a barrier between the human world. Because the goddess's power is so powerful that it will interfere with the operation of the human world, so she built this barrier to protect people. The human world, and because the goddess has many affairs, she needs to guard the base of this world 'Wanuri Rock Platform' from another perspective, so she can only observe the human world once every hundred years. Therefore, when the Dark Moon people invade the earth, they need to be We believers alert the divine world by praying and gathering more faith power, and at the same time strengthen the connection between the two worlds to facilitate the goddess's travels. The goddess is extremely powerful, so the time she can stay in the human world is limited, Dark Moon There is no exact timetable for the invasion of the people, so every Dark Moon War has to be resisted by the people on the ground for a while, and then we gather our strength to summon the goddess to come. I can explain the whole process clearly this time, do you still want to I know there’s nothing I can do about it.”

As soon as Ron finished speaking, Bingtis muttered something in my mind: "It sounds like a desperate excuse."

I feel the same way, but this excuse was obviously not thought up by Ron himself, but was stated in the Bible in his hand: This is what the church has always upheld. Although the big black man in front of him looks very different from a normal clergyman, in terms of his trust in the goddess and the church, he maintains blind faith like most people in this world, and he should have never doubted himself. What’s wrong with the education I received: Doctrine says that the goddess created the entire world, so why wasn’t there even a camera installed before leaving? Ron didn't doubt this at all. Of course, this is also related to the fact that he doesn't know what a camera is...

My eyes fell on Ron's Bible, and I thought: "What, this holy... um, can we borrow this scripture?"

"Of course," Ron cheered, and directly pushed the book into my hands, "I'll give it to you. 'If believers are eager for the gospel, they should give it generously.' I heard this sentence back then and my ears were ringing. Soaked."

I touched this black book, which was almost like a kitchen because it had been manipulated by cooks all the time. I couldn't help but smack my lips: "As long as believers ask for it, it will be given to them for free? What if someone deliberately goes to the church to ask for a hundred and eighty dollars?" What about ten copies? Can we afford them?"

Ron thought for a moment. He looked at me in great surprise: "Most people can't even think of such a damaging idea, right?"

Me: "..." Is this a compliment or a curse?

At this time, Ron looked up and looked at the square where the excitement was almost over. The villagers had already dispersed in twos and threes and went home. He apologized to us: "I'm sorry, I have to continue my work. Let's talk when we have time."

Then this big black guy got up and went to help with the finishing work. His back was indeed like a lost uncle who had just been reformed from prison: The admissions standards of their seminary must have been very magical back then, or the teacher in charge of admissions was because he couldn't beat them. He just asked him to sign up...

I looked down at the black book in my hand that was filled with the aroma of meat and spices. Its cover was very simple. The pure black hard leather case only had a pair of crossed wing marks, which was probably the logo of the Goddess Cult. And printed on this logo was a line of text I didn't recognize. When I opened the book, I saw words I didn’t recognize on the title page and words I didn’t recognize on the table of contents. The content of the first chapter was as follows: “%%￥% # *!”

Turning to the next few pages, I finally saw something I recognized: a little tortoise drawn in the blank space... This children's book is most likely the same one that Uncle Hei brought out from school!

"It seems that I need to upload it to the data network for translation first." I closed the Bible and said casually. This kind of situation is quite common. Although due to the influence of information disturbance and information projection, some adjacent worlds will produce the same or similar words by "coincidence", this zone is obviously too far away from the interior of the empire. The words here are different from those in the empire. The writing of any civilization within the territory is different. However, any language or text has its own rules and self-decoding ability. Even if it is the first time you come into contact with it, it will not be a problem to translate it.

"Speaking of which, why are the Bibles related to your star field basically all covered with black leather? Are your information disturbances even concerned about this?" I suddenly thought of this question, but before Bingtis could answer, I figured out what was going on. . "Oh, I know, black is solemn. The black cover represents the solemnity and solemnity of divine authority, right? And black is what all colors look like after mixing. This means that God embraces all things..."

Bingtis looked at me blankly, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Why do you think so much - you can't tell because the black color is dirty. How many people have to read a Bible, who knows how many people can wash their hands." , I printed the cover in black so I don’t feel bad if I touch it dirty.”

"..." I know something related to these star gods. Just try your best to think of things that didn’t slip away!

But soon I thought of something else: "Then why do several versions of Dingdang's Bible have green covers? Because green must be used to represent the power of life? The initial life of most of the world is related to green?"

"No, because she likes green. And she's short-sighted."

I clapped my hands in sudden realization: "...Oh, that's right."

Dingdang got out of my pocket and looked around curiously, her little head turning around. She heard someone calling her name, but luckily the little thing was so sleepy that she didn't hear the last sentence clearly. By the way, she is still confused by jet lag?

At this time, the gathering has basically come to an end, and there are no leaders' speeches at the end. This is an event that comes and goes. The villagers, who have eaten, drank, and chatted about homely things, are looking after themselves with satisfied smiles. After leaving to go home, from time to time you can hear someone shouting loudly. People leaving behind remember to help carry back someone’s table, chairs and benches. It is a simple and peaceful scene in the countryside. But when I think about the Dark Moon War and the messy history of this world, as well as the strange belief in the goddess, I always feel that there is a sense of alienation in the peaceful scene in front of me: Such a quiet and peaceful small village really shouldn't be born in this world. In these troubled times, I don’t know if this place will be involved when the Dark Moon War breaks out. But we are definitely involved: Bingtis sensed divinity from the pendant Ron was wearing. This Dark Moon War will most likely be related to artifacts. You said this matter is complicated... It turns out I thought this task was quite simple and I planned to finish it within ten days.

Qian Qian, who didn't know where she was going for fun at the beginning, finally came back. She was holding a big earthen jar in her hand, which was full of strange and rough handmade snacks. The girl's face was filled with a smile. He stuffed the snacks he thought were the most delicious into my mouth and said happily: "These are all exchanged for the small cakes baked by Anweina. The people here are so warm. Try it, Jun!" "

I was instantly stuffed into my mouth by this girl, and I couldn't even speak. I could only press her hair with a smile on my face to praise her. People who are short-sighted can easily feel the beauty of the world. Look how happy Qianqian is now...

Viska came out from nowhere. The little girl was dirty. She might have been exploring again. When she saw the big earthen jar in Qian Qian's arms, she immediately pounced on it. The two naughty children, one big and one small, looked very happy. I'll put these two little guys aside for now. Craning his neck to look for Lin Xue and Pandora, he saw an unexpected scene:

The two of them were still sitting at the original long table. There was a pile of clean bones piled up in front of Pandora, while Lin Xue was talking to an old man: it was the strange village chief!

I led a group of people over and rubbed Pandora's head. Finally, he turned to Lin Xue: "Hey - what are you talking about?"

Viska rushed forward and pulled all the bones that Pandora had chewed clean in front of him. After crushing them, he began to work on the puzzle seriously. Pandora looked aside blankly for a while and then joined in this childish game. Lin Xue raised her head and gave me a silly smile: "We are discussing world peace..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't trust you at first. I might have been a little offended," the old village chief stood up. He gave me a broad and slightly embarrassed smile and said, "Old man, I'm just here to keep you company."

I never expected that the old man would still take this matter to heart. It seemed that my previous suspicion that the village chief was "excluding outsiders" was a misunderstanding. I quickly waved my hand to him: "Don't care, don't care - you always do this." Why did the wind suddenly turn?"

The old village chief smiled awkwardly: "I just realized that you are indeed just travelers passing by. And you are really unfamiliar with the place here."

I turned my head slightly and looked to the side. As expected, the eldest lady secretly made a victory gesture while no one was paying attention: The old man had obviously just been deceived by the eldest lady, but he just didn't know in which direction he was mainly deceived...

"It's very uneasy outside right now," Lin Xue said to break the slightly embarrassing situation. She took out a piece of rough biscuit from the large shallow earthen pot and gnawed on it while explaining the situation. "Every country has discovered the movement of Dark Moon people in their territory. This Dark Moon War may come earlier. Now the whole world is busy recruiting soldiers, and the Principality of Hassad has expanded the scale of recruiting to every country in the country. In the village, the first batch of troops have been sent to the foot of the Long Bridge Mountains. The Gondor Empire and the Principality of Hassad are next to each other, and the recruitment progress is not slow at all. Now there are no civilians at all in the wilderness and mountain roads, even Adventurers have basically joined the Church Army as mercenaries. In other words, there are only three types of people coming through the wilderness at present: the Dark Moon people who use witchcraft to disguise themselves, the army recruiting soldiers, and those who are preparing to go The brave people from all over the country who joined the army."

Speaking of this, the eldest lady glanced at me: "So the old man was a little suspicious when he saw us. We look like none of the three, but it's so stormy outside now, even a rabbit running in would probably scare people: Pine Forest Village is close to the Changqiao Mountains, and across the mountains is the Principality of Hassad. The village is not big, but it is a special place."

I was told by Lin Xue that there were some clouds and mountains. Some of the place names she mentioned were something I had only heard of, while some were completely unheard of. Apparently, they were all found out when she was chatting with the old village chief: The eldest lady is right about An She may not understand the Moon War as well as Bingtis and I, but she learned about the current general situation of the outside world from the old village chief.

The old village chief didn't know much. After all, he had just returned from a big town. He must have known that the world was about to change.

I quickly exchanged information with the eldest lady in the mental connection, and finally figured out what her bunch of nouns were referring to:

The topography of Pine Forest Village has been mentioned before. One side of it is a vast pine forest, and the other side is close to a series of mountains. It is isolated from the world and has no name. But in fact, its geographical location is quite special. This small village On the border of two countries.

This village is on the border of the Gondor Empire. Through the pine forest, you can reach the last commercial city on the border of the Gondor Empire. If you walk along the mountains in front of the village in both directions, you can reach the border of the Gondor Empire. Two fortresses. In other words, this mountain range runs north to south. It is the "Changqiao Mountain Range" that Lin Xue mentioned just now.

If you cross this mountain range, the west side of the Changqiao Mountains is the territory of the Principality of Hassad: another major human country in the world.

Although Bingtis and I didn't see any changes in the "moon" in the sky, it has indeed become highly active. The Dark Moon people who were originally supposed to be trapped on that planet by the space environment are frequently appearing on the earth. Countries around the world were therefore highly nervous. After the Church determined that the Dark Moon War was about to break out, in addition to mobilizing their standing armies that maintained high levels of training all year round to be ready for war, the second action taken by all countries was to temporarily recruit a large number of new soldiers—— Once the Dark Moon War breaks out, it will be a world war. It is impossible to defend each country by relying solely on standing armies.

As the two strongest human kingdoms, the Principality of Hassad and the Empire of Gondor naturally move faster. The former has even mobilized a large number of troops to the foot of the Long Bridge Mountains, ready to send them to the front line at any time, and the latter has also completed the establishment of a standing army. Mobilization, we are now stepping up our efforts to organize new recruits.

The old village chief went to other places and learned about the changes in the outside world. When he came back, he suddenly found a group of strangers in his village. Although there were many children among us, this still made the old man feel sad. As soon as I mentioned it, there was a little misunderstanding.

But to be honest, the old man may still take this matter to heart, but the few of us have almost forgotten such trivial matters. It is not just because we are broad-minded, but the main reason is that we travel through a lot of worlds all day long. Wear it, you've already gotten used to it...
