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.
