Chapter 1271： Veil of truth (1/2)

Since the beginning of winter, Aldernan has ushered in two consecutive sharp drops in temperature. The continuous sudden drop in temperature has made the city fade the color of autumn. A layer of withered yellow and gray tones covers the streets and lanes, and the fog is foggy. As in previous years, the city on the plain covered the plain on time and looked out from the tower of the Obsidian Palace. The row upon row of roofs and towers with heights and distances once again became the looming silhouettes and isolated islands in the sea of ​​fog, with a kind of difference. Really hazy.

Rosetta Augustus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study, watching the direction of the church area for a long time, and the religious building with the iron-gray spire also treated him silently.

The emblem of the God of War that was once flying over the church has now been replaced by the flag of the Typhon Empire. Although the church bas-relief inlaid on the outer wall of the church is still there, it seems to have faded away from the mysterious and sublime atmosphere that ordinary people could not detect. In the "perspective", the transcendent and holy breath that once filled the magnificent building has disappeared, and now it can bring the world only pure spiritual comfort and the aesthetic value of architecture.

On the square in front of the cathedral, the citizens going to visit were walking through the fog in twos and threes and stepping on the long steps. The royal guards stood on both sides of the steps in front of the church, silently watching all the movement around the square. The new-faced "church guide" "We greeted the crowd gathered in front of the main entrance. These smiling people hung decorations from the church of God of War of the old days, carrying a sign of "Scenic Spot Guide" on their chests, and waving eye-catching red or yellow flags in their hands. When a group of new visitors visit, they will begin to explain the murals and reliefs on the walls, and introduce the candlesticks and sculptures distributed in the prayer hall.

From the religious legends behind these things, to their symbolic significance in church activities, from the history of the Church of God of War, to the secrets surrounding these things.

Those who can stand up to resist this "rebellious move" are dead. Ordinary believers have no determination and awareness to resist changing customs. Most of the remaining people who cannot accept this change can only sigh at the past time at home. In the tavern cursing this "fallen age", or crying bitterly in the punishment room.

These small problems no longer need the rulers of the empire to personally care about them. They are the bits of debris left in the progress of the times, and will gradually fade away sooner or later.

Rosetta Augustus retracted her gaze and returned to her desk. Princess Matilda, who was wearing a long black dress with a golden chain hanging from her hair, stood aside and saw the father regain her consciousness. The crown prince continued to report half of what was just said: "...At present, the remaining forces of the Church of God of War across the country have been completely decomposed and cleaned up. The remaining churches, fields, chambers of commerce and other properties have been nationalized, and more than half of them The church has been closed or used for other purposes, but according to your instructions, some other churches with historical significance or special local influence have been reopened after being renovated as cultural activities facilities for local residents...

"A series of new propaganda and popularization materials on the history and wild history of the Church of God of War have been promoted nationwide. They will work together with the reopened churches. The results of the current pilot projects in Orlandale and Tarenkins are very impressive. Satisfied, but the trials in Duvason County and Enchoke County have encountered greater resistance. The local people have a solid belief and it may take time for the New Deal to be effective..."

"Tiphon people have respected the belief in the God of War for hundreds of years, and it has become a part of many people's daily habits," Rosetta said lightly. "But the fierce confrontation phase has passed, and we cannot regard the people as the enemy's gentle guiding process. It always takes some patience. Don’t worry, Matilda, the full range of influence has already begun. People in the old age will eventually get old, and their next generation will inevitably grow up in an environment that changes customs. In the minds of the new generation,'The Church of God of War' is a historical term for established facts."

He raised his head, his gaze through the wide crystal glass window once again fell on the spire of the Chapel of the Gods of War: “After people get used to the half-price tickets for the church and the paid photo in front of the shrine, everything will no longer be a problem.”

"What did Emperor Gawain Cecil call "desanctification"..." Matilda couldn't help showing a thoughtful look on her face, and there was a trace of admiration in her eyes. "The church is open for admission by ticket. , The shrines and idols took a group photo, the rally square sells special snacks and handicrafts... When talking about eliminating the influence of the Church of God of War, Hardyron and I only thought of demolishing the church and disbanding the priests, but we never thought that things could be done like this... "

"In a sense, Gawain Cecil is our teacher. He personally demonstrated to us how to make a sacred thing secular, and in the process so that most ordinary people can more easily accept it. "Change," Rosetta said calmly, "not everyone is a fanatic who knows the scriptures and sticks to dogma. Most ordinary people can't distinguish the'meaning' behind the change, and these ordinary people constitute the trend of thought. The main body."

"Are ordinary talents the main body of thought..." Matilda said softly with thought, Rosetta fell into a moment of silence in front of her, and after a few minutes, the Typhon ruler suddenly said: "There are some new discoveries on the'gate' project."

"New discovery?" Matilda raised her gaze curiously, wondering why her father suddenly mentioned it in front of her.

Rosetta stared into Matilda's eyes, her voice low: "They saw the soul of Malm Dunnett there."

Matilda's eyes widened for an instant, and she was so shocked that she could not control her emotional expression like the usual teachings she had received. But soon, she forcibly controlled the change in her expression, with a look of astonishment. Pressed on the bottom of the eye.

Seeing the change in her daughter’s expression, Rosetta nodded insignificantly before continuing: “He has sobered up and now seems to have become a part of the God of War. No matter what happened, he will not return to this. The world."

Matilda nodded thoughtfully, and then asked curiously: "What are Windsor and Master Daniel doing now?"

"They are continuing to dig deep into the secrets of our world."

…

To dig deep into the secrets of this world is the common long-cherished wish of every scholar walking on the forefront of knowledge. However, it is necessary to dig out the "truths" hidden behind the complex phenomena, theories, and conjectures. Sometimes what is needed is It is not just hard work, luck and opportunity that sometimes affect the turning point of history more profoundly.

Carmel floats in the center of the extremely wide arena, watching the technicians busy assembling and debugging the equipment needed for the test, and there is a lot of emotion in his heart.

He has waited for this opportunity for many years. If you count the years spent by the pioneers of the Silver Empire studying the mysteries of magic, mortals have even waited for this opportunity for half a century. However, no one would have expected this to happen. Realize here.

Exploring one of the most essential mysteries in the world, an experiment at the forefront of the field of magic research. Its most suitable test site is actually located in the kingdom of God of War. To put it in a popular sentence in the imperial capital today, this is simply "even the Philippines." A setting that Mr. Ulm dare not adopt."

Windsor Mapel stood next to Carmel, staring intently at the special equipment transported from the Cecil’s scientific research camp. She knew that the Cecil had an experimental project to explore the nature of magic, and recently In more and more in-depth technical exchanges, she also learned about the specific content of this experimental project, but she witnessed that it was a different experience after all.

She watched those Cecils wearing white short robes put some kind of precision-cut rectangular box on a stable experimental table, and placed a silver-white alloy sheet on the front of the box, a powerful The arcane energy source was set up at the rear of the box by them. Around the energy source, you can also see the complex structure of stability and shielding components. The "painting style" of these things is completely different from the items she uses in her daily experiments, but she can I feel the familiar rigor and solemnity from it.

Even if she is not sure about the outcome of this experiment, she knows that the people who designed and participated in all of this must be respectable.
