Latest website: After Beines became the new pope of the church, he immediately

began to rectify the various problems accumulated inside.

Among them, the training mechanism, evaluation mechanism, election mechanism,

etc., were repeatedly discussed at the meeting, and strived to determine a

relatively fair new system.

During the discussion, Lorrain Hill also attended the meeting as the sage of

Crancia for the first time. She will serve as a consultant and diplomatic

envoy to participate in this transformation within the church.

Of course, when she changed her identity, she also took off the pendant she

had worn before and restored her original appearance. This shocked the bishops

and priests present.

Many people think that this sage is an angel descending to the earth, because

that kind of breath and soul body are too similar to high-level angels.

For this reason, the emotions that had originally rejected outsiders also

dissipated immediately, replaced by all kinds of curiosity and speculation.

And because of the goodwill of this silver-haired ‘angel’, the church has also

been friendly to Crancia-related matters in several subsequent meetings.

"Then, the new system within the church is so determined. Next, it will be

announced at the headquarters and various branches."

The presiding priest at the meeting read out the new system negotiated during

this period, and then began to talk about external affairs.

"It is foreseeable that the war of Frost Rose against Crancia is about to

begin."

"According to the policy set before, we will provide limited support to

Crancia and provide several medical teams. If you want to participate, you can

sign up." After speaking, the host scanned the venue.

Almost all of the people present at the conference are above Sequence 6, and

they are high-level transcendents in the church, and many of them are also

bishops of one party. After hearing the host's reading, scattered personnel

raised their hands.

Lorrain Hill was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, which was on the right

hand side of Beines. She looked at the volunteer raising his hand, and one of

the familiar faces smiled at her.

Is that...Zhu Ya? The girl recalled the bishop she had met in Hopelander. When

she was fighting with Zenep, her appearance and hair color were not hidden.

The priest probably recognized her.

But looking at her kindness, she probably wouldn't talk nonsense everywhere.

And now it’s not what it used to be. Even if it is revealed that Lorrain Hill

is Lace, it will not affect the overall situation, but can take the

opportunity to incorporate New Verga into Crancia.

She nodded slightly to Zhu Ya and greeted him silently. At this moment, Beines

who was next to her also turned her head and asked in a low voice.

"Does Lorrain know Zhuya?"

"Yes, I have seen one before." Lorrain Hill looked at the woman with the red

hair, feeling the wonder of life.

"After that, I will send Zhu Ya to Solander as the bishop, and it will be

convenient to communicate with you."

"Then trouble Beines."

After the meeting was over, the church gradually became busy, various

personnel began to be mobilized according to the new rules and regulations,

but Lorrain Hill was idle.

For several Emenas classmates, they only knew that Luo Xier had recently

participated in a secret mission and did not reappear. But in fact, she has

been staying in the secret sutra room in the holy mountain recently, looking

through those ancient classics.

The hard blue-gray stone walls are inlaid with special orange-yellow

gemstones, emitting a warm yellow light, illuminating the library deep

underground. Rows of stone bookshelves are neatly lined up, and they contain

all kinds of yellowed and old books.

These stone bookshelves are no more than one meter apart, parallel to each

other, continuously extending inward, and their ends are blurred and deep in

the dim light.

After obtaining the access permission, Lorrain Hill spent almost all of this

time here, quickly flipping through and looking for information about Chaos

and the Twilight Age.

However, there are no outstanding gains.

Keus did not make a mistake, the ruling department's information may be more

detailed and true. The things she read in the past few days have basically not

escaped the scope of what she saw in the adjudication department.

The things that the former priest of the bronze candle palace and scepter have

collected and sorted out are indeed rare essences.

Knowing that this continued search is futile, Lorrain Hill also decisively

gave up.

——————

Inside the Pope's Hall.

The glazed flame lamps are lit to illuminate the interior space, and the

various drawings on the walls become clear in the firelight. Together with

many sculptures, they decorate the interior and show a magnificent world.

Lorrain Hill, led by a nun, came to Beines' new office, watching everything

around it curiously along the way. Today she is going to ask Beines to borrow

the storage device unearthed in the ruins.

"You are here, Lorraine." Beines was sitting at her desk at the moment,

signing and reviewing various documents.

"Well, did I bother you."

"No, it's almost finished."

Beines replied, while Lorrain Hill sat on the sofa to the side, waiting for

the end of Beines' work.

When she looked at the figure working under the light, her eyes became heavy

unconsciously. Slowly, the silver-haired girl leaned on the back of the chair

and fell into a peaceful nap. She is still a little sleepy lately.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Wake up, little Lorraine, it's time for dinner."

I don't know when, Beines has already walked in front of her, and she

whispered in Lorrain Hill's ear to wake up the sleeping girl.

Stretching a little, Lorrain Hill stood up from the sofa.

"Is the work over, Beines."

"Yes, what can I do today?" the pope asked with interest.

"I want to borrow some treasure in the Pope's Hall, which is what was

unearthed in the ruins at dusk." Lorrain Hill said his appeal.

"Come with me."

After knowing Lorrainhill's coming, Binne led the girl to the depths of the

Pope's Hall, passed through the passage guarded by special stone statues,

opened several secret doors, and a room with rare items appeared at the end of

the passage.

Under Lorrain Hill's instructions, Beines took out the dust-covered object for

a long time, took it out, and then the two walked out.

After placing this special object, which is a bit heavier than the same volume

of metal, on the table, Beines said.

"It's not too early today. Take this back and study it slowly. In fact, it has

been here for many years. The church has not been able to find its function.

If the study fails, don't be discouraged."

After getting this mysterious storage device, Lorrain Hill returned to the

small courtyard where he usually lived, which was more quiet and comfortable.

The disk in front of me seems to be an extremely precise and standard prism,

with very small and dense lines on the performance, as if countless circuits

converge.

Lorrain Hill took this disc and called out the system to let it recognize it.

[System identification, please wait...]

[Please enter the magic activation of the original sequence. ]

The girl switches the sequence, enters the original and purified Mana, and

then spreads it on the disc according to a specific pattern, as if walking

through a maze.

With the input of magic power, the disk gradually unfolded, and the twinkling

clouds gradually emerged around it.

[Record of the 43rd retention location of "Retrospective Cloud"]

[Deadline 3875, December, 12:56:34]

Familiar and unfamiliar scenes came to Lorrain Hill's mind. Said she was

familiar because she had seen similar scenes in the records of the Tree of

Life sect.

Under the sky reflected by the sunlight, metal battleships hovered above the

sky, reflecting strange colors. Supersonic fighter planes flying across the

sky shuttled in the sky. The hollowed-out wings and the flowing magic currents

rushed through the stubborn land. enemy.

Those honest beasts running on the ground, as high as 100 meters, the pure

white torrent from their mouths swept across the sky and constantly attacked

the metal warships in the sky.

But all this is in vain. Those sky warships are linked to each other,

displaying a grid like a glass barrier, isolating the sky from the earth, and

easily resisting these pure white torrents.

And those supersonic fighters swooped down, evading all kinds of attacks

extremely flexibly, and then constantly adjusted their attack patterns and

magic spells according to the opponent's armor and shield. Emitting a fiery

current of extremely targeted magic power.

And these dark blue arrows, sharp and full of energy, inserted into the body

of the giant beast, burst and exploded, smashing it into scorched crumbs.

After dealing with these giant beasts on the ground, the warship floating in

the sky shot straight laser downwards to accurately cut the ground. Then, with

the anti-gravity technique, standard cubes separated from the ground and

slowly rose. Then fell aside.

As the squares floated up in the bottom layer, the artificial structure below

was slowly revealed, and even tiny figures were seen running and fleeing, but

soon, the personnel of these other factions were burned and cleared by the

patrolling fighters.

After clearing all the artificial structures underground, a clean nuclear bomb

fell and the flames of the explosion rose, and the base finally disappeared on

the ground.

[In 3845, the ‘Mechanical Council’ defeated the ‘Tree of Life Sect’ and

removed all of its 165 bases all over the earth. Since then, no other

organizations and factions on the earth can fight against it, and the earth

has become unified. 】

[According to the reports and analysis of observers from multiple regions in

the organization, the'Mechanical Council' has carried out certain reforms

after devouring the'Primary Heart' faction. It can be seen that their members'

combat effectiveness and collaboration capabilities have made a new leap. 】

[The'Mechanical Council' that had the upper hand continues to expand its

results in various places. The'Deep Sea Union' has launched a wandering plan,

preparing to escape this disputed earth. 】

[According to the analysis of the main brain within the organization, the

subspace form of our ‘Retrospective Cloud’ will also be discovered by the

‘Mechanical Council’, which is constantly increasing in technology 20 years

later. 】

[In order to prevent the worst from happening, the organization decided to use

sub-space secret observations to infiltrate the ‘mechanical council’ and

obtain all its data and development models for the remaining 20 years. 】

[After obtaining the information and analysis, we will completely copy the

development model of the ‘mechanical council’, transform ourselves into the

same form as the other party, and carry out convergent evolution. ——3846,

April]

Lorrain Hill looked at the scenes stored in it, and the humans with similar

appearances finally transformed into completely different forms.

[I think that what determines us is the fairness and noble morality of our

behavior, rather than skin color, race, appearance, or even genetic sequence.

\-Proposal at the first meeting of the Human Survival Committee. 】

[Accepting the limitations of the birth situation reveals the lack of

imagination. ——In a meeting of all parties, a certain representative

criticized the ethics committee's restrictive regulations. 】

[The body is just an extension of the senses, why don't we use more efficient

artificial creations? ——The ‘Mechanical Council’ refutes the ‘Tree of Life

Sect’. Natural life does not mean perfection, but a defective product under

restricted conditions. 】

[When you are still immersed in the so-called love, affection, and friendship,

I have to remind you that it is just a psychedelic reaction produced by the

brain under hormones. ——The'Mechanical Council' will abandon useless things. 】

[The key to extraordinary power is the soul and consciousness. If the souls of

all people are connected, does that mean the birth of gods? ——An unrealistic

fantasy of a certain member of the Diet. 】

The girl continued to read the records of the past events. With the end of the

difficult time at the beginning of the twilight era, the number of floating

cities for mankind continued to increase, and the survival crisis gradually

disappeared.

After losing this sense of crisis, the Human Survival Committee has gradually

been ignored, and every member has separated from it.

According to their own preferences and research directions, the floating

cities in various places have slowly formed many factions and organizations.

They are condensed together with values and technological directions as the

core. In this era without a country, it replaced the position of the country

and formed a brand-new institutional structure.

Since then, several major factions have continued to expand, and then humans

return to the earth to clean up alien animals and various toxic and harmful

substances on the ground.

After that, about 200 years of prosperity ushered in, which was also the

warmest and peaceful period of the twilight period.

However, with the development of various technologies ~www.mtlnovel.com~, the

cognitive differences between them are getting bigger and bigger, especially

the "Tree of Life" faction, which has begun to create a "new human" different

from the past. This is a big challenge. The ethical bottom line of all

parties.

And just as the ethics committee quarreled with the "Tree of Life" sect,

another weak organization also appeared on the earth. They are obsessed with

and adore the era of steel, electronics, and machinery on the earth, and

expressed their desire to revive the once unfinished ‘millennial dream’.

When this organization was first established, no one cared about it, but they

quickly developed. And, in order to obtain the resources needed for

development from the gradually solidified world structure, they began to arm

themselves with all their strength, and their technical model is also

particularly suitable for war.

In this way time and time again, the'mechanical parliament' began to break the

inherent pattern of the world. Although there were several discussions and

truces during this period, other organizations in the world also awakened and

began to arm themselves.

And at this point, the prosperous and peaceful world is no longer, and various

organizations and factions have begun frantically competing on the earth.

Among them, the two factions of the'Mechanical Council' and the'Tree of Life'

are the most powerful.

Time has thus entered the late twilight era.
