Chapter 430: Using Life to Succeed in the Continuation of Civilization
"If that guy is really the 'Honest Knight', then... who bewitched it to discover the Earth, and then used all kinds of crooked means to continuously attract people here?"
"According to the understanding of the people here, there is a general concept of the word 'other world', but it seems to be other numbered worlds."
"And his knowledge of the Earth is basically zero, so the probability of that guy finding the Earth on his own is very small..."
As Colin talked to Shana, he was thinking, and ideas flashed through his mind.
However, as for the identity of that guy, he couldn't be sure that the "human stitched monster" was the "honest knight".
According to the characteristics of that thing...
This may just be an identity disguise of the other party.
If you want to find out who the other party is, there will be many twists and turns in the process. I am afraid that only by catching him in person can you know his exact identity.
"Do you know a special life form..." Colin looked at Shana and mentioned the thing called "human stitched monster".
An abnormal existence lurking behind the scenes.
If this problem is not solved, it will always be a hidden danger.
Of course, if you catch it, you can also solve the upgrade of "Fusion Card·Smiling Corpse Mountain" at the same time.
Colin had a vague feeling that the limit of this thing should be that it could grow at least three heads.
"No..." The saint thought for a few seconds, and her brain "browsed" at an extremely fast speed all the abnormalities she had heard and seen since she was three years old, and finally shook her head.
If she had really encountered this special type of guy, she would definitely have some understanding of it.
After a pause, before Colin could speak, she added, "But one thing is, if it is so cautious and has so many identities, then it must have some knowledge of me and be on guard against me, because in this world, no one can hide from me..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Colin subconsciously.
From Helena's time, in addition to some information given by the parchment, she also glimpsed some things through her own abilities, such as... a vague, thin, pure and friendly soul.
At that time, this soul figure seemed to be troubled by something and was very thin, but now...
Seems a lot fatter and stronger?
"All right."
Colin sighed inwardly, but the corners of his lips curled up, as if he had thought of something: "By the way, one of the twenty-three bishops of your Light Church will be here today. Do you want to meet him?"
"Gordon? I can sense that he is approaching this side, but if we meet, forget it..."
Perhaps because they were more familiar with each other, the Saint said: "Although I have no conflicts with the Light Church,... our relationship is not very good, especially with the bishops, elders, and core leaders above the middle and high levels. I am happy to see them, but they are probably not happy to see me."
"Huh?" Colin was stunned for a moment. The first thing he thought of was some internal factional struggle.
But... why do I feel that the people mentioned by the Saint already include all factions?
Shana glanced at him, as if observing him, which made Colin feel as if his “true self” was being looked at by someone.
However, before he could savor the meaning, he heard the other party speak: "Let me tell you a secret that is not really a secret. Mr. Colin, do you know the Holy Light Church?"
"Know……"
If Colin remembered correctly, this was the predecessor of the "Light" Church, but for some reason it fell apart.
"In a sense, the Holy Light Church was taken down by the saints of Light... well, my ancestors. Of course, there were some other people involved, but the majority were us..."
"Huh?" A sentence popped up in Colin's mind: The prince is rebelling?
"Back then, the Holy Light Church, in the name of Light, deviated from the correct path and tried to eliminate human desires, which led to the Pale Disaster and some sublimation. As a result, three generations of saints appeared one after another and destroyed the main body of the Holy Light Church, causing it to fall apart. So not only the Light Church, but in fact most of the forces after the Holy Light Church split up don't like me very much..."
"Ah?" Colin was stunned for a moment, but soon realized something: "Appearing one after another? Aren't the saints chosen by themselves?"
"That's not the case..." The saint gave an unexpected answer.
She didn't keep Colin hanging and simply explained this aspect of the game: "'Light' is quite special. It is not passed down from generation to generation. Only at certain times, when something happens, will someone become... this... I can't really explain it."
There are some things she didn't say... For example, it was she who chose "light", not "light" who chose her.
While listening to her words, Colin felt that there was a more appropriate word: came into being.
The Saint of the Light Church, or more accurately, the Saint of Light, has a natural mission to do something when he appears, which may be to stop disasters or something else...
But the most famous of them all is the incident in which the saint destroyed the "Holy Light Church" that had gone astray.
this……
Colin probably understood why all believers of the "Light" faith were not so fond of her.
It's not because there is a conflict between the two sides, but once the saint appears, all forces related to the "light" faith will become awkward...
God knows if one of them has gone down the wrong path again?
No? How did the "saint" come out without one?
"It seems that you have understood." The saint's voice came from the side.
"It's really embarrassing." Colin nodded.
No wonder in the news we got, this saint often mentioned words like “alone” and “alone”.
"I don't know why this situation occurred, but it confirms what I knew before. The church walks with the power of faith, but it does not mean that they have a unified opinion..." Colin nodded secretly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the saint glanced at him. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Even though the light was blurred and he couldn't see any details, he still felt that the other party smiled?
"According to some information left in the ancient relics in the secret realm of the cathedral, you all participated side by side in the fight to destroy the Holy Light Church..."
"Oh, this." Colin suddenly understood why the saint was relatively friendly.
Then, noticing the word "holy relics", his expression became a little strange: "Are your holy relics... all made of some kind of body tissue?"
"Hmm? This..." The saint was stunned for a moment. She really didn't pay much attention to it, but when she thought about it carefully.
It seems that basically...
"The 'Holy Thorn', the 'Ring', the Skull Holy Grail..."
She murmured to herself, so she nodded and asked in confusion: "How did you know?"
"I... don't think it's easy to explain."
Colin had a subtle look on his face - since he was related to the "Fire Bearer", hence the "Light" religion, and used his own limbs to make props, did that mean there were signs of "human-to-human transmission"?
He is indeed a comrade who can fight side by side with me.
There are still quite a few relics left, but why does it seem like the saints from generation to generation didn’t have a good ending?
Otherwise, why are there so many skeletons and "holy relics"...
"Come to think of it, the 'holy relics' here sound like they are all skeletons, while the relics left by the 'Fire Bearers' outside this world are mostly hearts and the like... So, that puzzled 'Fire Bearer' colleague Rosen, did he follow the local customs and left behind a skull instead of a heart?"
Colin couldn't help but come up with a hellish joke in his mind.
He shook his head secretly, then he looked at the light and shadow in front of him and asked curiously: "Those people...are there any records of where they went?"
"No, they didn't stay here for too long. After they finished their work, they disappeared. I looked for them before, but there was no record. However, I did meet you. It seems that you are looking for them too?" said the saint.
It seems that they went to "World Number" 321 and never came back... Colin thought about it and said, "Well, I roughly know that they went to some dangerous place, but I don't know where they went."
"But I know that his head has returned for some reason... It seems that he is still sending distress signals to the 'Bonfire Company'... So much so that the special 'Advent Project' appeared..."
Colin added in his heart.
He felt that many things in this world were related to each other. For example, the "human body stitching monster" certainly couldn't have locked onto the earth for no reason. The reason was probably related to the things left behind by the company's employees...
Unfortunately, it seems that relevant things are not easy to find.
After chatting for a while, Xiaohong came in with a glass of water made of concentrated nutrient solution. She first greeted the glowing figure, then gave the big brother a glass, and then waited expectantly for the big brother to give her a compliment...
"Have you finished the exercises?" Colin touched the girl, whose eyes turned red with excitement, with relief.
"It's done." Xiaohong blinked and looked at Kelin expectantly, hoping that he could go out and play with her.
but……
"Okay, okay, I brought you a new gift. Are you looking forward to it?"
"expect."
Then, as the little girl was looking forward to it, Colin took out a new, finger-thick book called “One Lesson, Three Exercises”.
The joy on Xiaohong's face collapsed visibly...
However, she still did not refuse her elder brother and left slowly with the new textbooks.
"Mr. Colin, are you teaching them to read?" Shana asked.
She found it quite magical that about 5% of the refugees here had actually mastered the basic writing during this period of time. Of course, this writing was not the writing of this world, but the writing of another world.
Although the two sides did not speak the same language, they strangely used the same writing system, and the meaning of the writing seemed to remain roughly the same.
That is to say, if someone from Colin's side comes over someday, even if there is no translation power, they can still communicate using different languages and similar characters——……
If it weren't for the Fire Bearer, she might have called for the Inquisition to come over.
After all, if the other party is an invader... this... is not a good thing.
Ke Lin didn't think too much about it and nodded: "Only by knowing how to read can we complete some tasks better."
There is actually an important reason why local text can be replaced with Earth language without loss...
The vast majority of those refugees had no knowledge of written language.
Since it is a blank slate, teaching is naturally much easier than you imagine.
Of course, there are many officials behind the scenes who provide him with knowledge assistance and have set up a lot of special things.
In addition, the refugees have to use various mystical props to assist the brain when learning languages.
Otherwise, they may not understand...
At least it is impossible to make a group of people who cannot speak fluently understand the meaning of words in a short period of time.
Shana stared at him and nodded slightly: "Is that so..."
The two sides communicated for a while and then the training continued.
…
At the same time, groups of employees came back, and after a day and a half, they finally brought back all twenty-one people in this group.
"Is our territory on fire..." A new employee looked at the territory where huge flames were rising into the sky.
It was the first time he had seen a fire that burned more than a hundred meters high...
"Guess what our company is called?"
"Bonfire shelter..."
"Then it's normal to have a bonfire."
The cheap apprentice of “Life Coach Keaiduo”, “Baishu Keaiduo” rolled his eyes and said, “Hurry back to register, or you’ll be randomly selected next time…”
As she spoke, she glanced at the other people in the team who were riding horses and following slowly behind.
Hundreds of people.
I heard that this is the second batch of messengers from other churches, and their strength level is much greater than the previous one...
And there are knightly orders and various churches gathered together.
When they were looking for someone just now, the two parties met each other, and the other party took the initiative to help and expressed some goodwill, so they went together.
"It's over there." She reminded those people.
"Thank you for your guidance, ma'am..." An old man in armor nodded.
Then, he looked at the bonfire, feeling deeply shocked. However, when he noticed the small church under the bonfire and the sun pattern on the church, which was made up of a circle and lines of varying lengths, something strange appeared on his face...
He looked to one side and saw church members walking with him, wearing white clothes with gold edges.
"Tsk ... If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency, this is... the church of the 'Church of Light'? Are you here for this? To take it back?" he said sarcastically.
However, when the old bishop heard his words, he acted as if he didn't see it and said nothing.
Of course, they didn't come here for this matter, but they wanted to know the attitude of the "Bonfire" Church.
He heard that the "Saint" might have contacted these people.
I want to understand the attitudes of these people - are I going to perform the Qingshen Ce on them again?
You know, usually when a saint is born, he will only exercise his authority occasionally and ask them to cooperate in doing something, but he will usually only do his own thing and will not contact other forces. The only exception is when the "Holy Light Church" was on the wrong path, then they would contact others.
So... after hearing that the "Saint" might be connected to the "Bonfire", they couldn't help but start to think deeply, whether they had taken the wrong path again...
But think about it, it doesn’t seem so.
It seems that the mission of this generation of saints is to solve various natural disasters and provide assistance to refugees, rather than to solve their own problems.
However, even though the Bishop of "Light" knew that it was most likely not their problem, he still couldn't help but come and find out for himself to seek peace of mind.
Of course, if there are mistakes, they can be corrected without resorting to violence right away...
What's going on? Why can't we communicate properly?
The current "Church of Light" is much more open-minded than the previous "Holy Light Church".
Don't go to the point of knowing your mistake and still insist on dying.
"Saint..." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He admired these people from the bottom of his heart because they were indeed pure and idealistic people.
and……
So far, every saint that has appeared in the past few hundred years has not had a good ending. Basically, without exception, they all ended up being shattered to pieces because of their mission.
This generation...
He estimated that one day he would perish in a catastrophe and survive to keep the world going.
Then, after who knows how many years, dozens of years, or even longer, the natural disaster finally subsided, and only then were people able to find their long-rotted remains, which had a certain strength, at the disaster site.
These bones will be collected and stored in the holy mountain of the "Light" faith as a kind of firewood.
When some disaster breaks out in the future, the dust will fade away and the final glory will be emitted...
While thinking, he sighed, looked at the territory, dismounted, held the rope, and walked over with his companions.
…
A "Bonfire Mass Supply and Marketing Cooperative" was opened in the territory.
Jaeger, who had just moved bricks for half a day and then took half a day off in the second half of the day, stood outside the door with many people, looking curiously at this...supermarket opened by these big shots.
I heard that it’s like… a store where you can buy things and enrich your life?
After hesitating for a moment, he walked in. It was filled with instant noodles of various flavors, as well as many things he had seen before and some things he had never seen before...
"A pack of instant noodles only costs 0.02 points?"
Yeager stopped in front of a shelf of instant noodles in green packaging.
Nowadays, everyone can receive a salary of about 0.04 points a day from the starting point.
Yeager was still a little uncomfortable with this word, because it was the first time he saw people giving money to refugees.
In other words, in addition to the three meals a day provided, can they also earn enough to support one more day's meal?
This... is treatment that the slaves have never imagined.
After looking around, Jaeger stopped in front of a bag of chocolate candies. He recognized these candies.
In the previous brick-moving competition, whoever won first place would get three as a reward.
It has a strong aroma, is sweet and tastes very good.
Even the nobles may not have eaten it.
Yeager obviously wanted to buy it, but after looking at the price, he was a little discouraged.
This is the most expensive item in this supply and marketing cooperative, worth 0.5 points!
"0.5 points can buy more than 30 packs of instant noodles, and it is almost equal to one-third of the income I just received."
Jaeger silently estimated his own background and wanted to give up, but when he thought about his family who would be sent here soon, he decided to just give up...
But at this moment, an employee suddenly came up with a smile:
"Actually, I think you might consider paying in installments."
"In installments?"
"Well, that's right. You don't have to pay all at once. For example, for this box of Fude chocolates, you can pay once every seven days, and you only need to pay 0.1 points each time. Do this for six weeks in a row. In this way, you don't have to worry about any burden when you buy it..."
The employee said with a smile on his face.
