Chapter 584 Cherubim. Castle in the Sky (Two in One)
Thinking of Ariadne, George couldn't help but glance at Soraya with a strange expression.
'The relationship between the twins of the sun god and the twins of the moon god is really completely opposite. It turns out that two fools get along well together, but two smart people get together and start to intrigue.'
After secretly complaining in his heart, George looked at Gale and asked, "How does the Mutual Aid Association judge Fernando's support for the North?"
"Sir, in the eyes of the Mutual Aid Association, this world is indeed lingering, and the new world is also a place where they must go. But the longer this world lingers, the more conducive it is for them to plunder wealth. Therefore, someone is always needed to delay the spread of the black tide."
"However, Fernando's blatant behavior violates the unspoken rules of our secret faction and has caused dissatisfaction in the Mutual Aid Association-not only did he participate in politics, but he also used the resources in his hands to participate in the war. I don't know what kind of punishment there will be."
With the departure of Fernando, the various leaders under him have lost the channels to contact the Mutual Aid Association. Maybe a new general will be transferred in the future.
George asked a key question: "How much does the Mutual Aid Society know about the Valley?"
"Sir, the situation in each area is a commercial secret in the hands of each person in charge. We all rely on this to make a living. However, although the Mutual Aid Society does not know the detailed situation of each place, it can know the peace and danger of each place."
George nodded. It doesn't matter whether the Mutual Aid Society has information about the Valley.
At the beginning, Gale came to the Valley earlier, so he didn't know the core secrets of the shelter. What Gale saw, combined with Avery's whitewashing, the entire Valley has become Avery's secret layout.
And now, he, 'Morpheus', is not afraid of anyone. Now the people who know the Valley best are Aloysius and Annalius, but what if they know? The shelter has passed the most vulnerable period. Now the shelter is fully grown and no one is afraid of it.
As for how much the Cherubim know about the shelter now, although he doesn't have first-hand information, he should be able to evaluate it from business and trade.
But I don't know, in the eyes of the Cherubim, whether his brothers and sisters are now controlled by Morpheus, or something else.
The angels who left didn't know the existence of the Light of Dawn, nor did they know that their brothers and sisters would get rid of corruption by dissipating their godhood and throwing themselves into the arms of the Light of Dawn.
In this way, Soraya and others are equivalent to experiencing another rebirth and reincarnation, giving up all their power, reshaping themselves with the dawn, and becoming the "Great Dawn Angel" who does not need to rely on faith to exist.
According to what the Light of Dawn said, the Son of the Seven Gods has no other way to get rid of corruption except in this way - the Son of the Seven Gods is too powerful, and has been struggling on the edge of corruption when he was in his cradle.
Even if the godhood is dissipated, it is enough to be completely corrupted in these three hundred years - just like the Archangel 'Annalius' under the Angel of Mercy. At most, it can only last until the second blood moon.
And the existence of the Cherubim, even if it dissipates its godhood, it may not last until the first blood moon before the fog, and it will be completely corrupted.
However, there are exceptions, such as the God of War ‘Sodaraya’. In those reincarnations, he constantly cleansed himself and finally became a clean mortal.
Every rebirth is a purgatory and paradise for them. I am afraid that only a true warrior like the God of War can find the right way in this hard way of constantly starting over.
According to the words of the Light of Dawn, Alexander is an impossible miracle.
The Forbidden Sanctuary is Anthony’s hometown - there is no belief in God. This is a prerequisite for getting rid of corruption.
And there is no sign of corruption in the sanctuary. It can be said that it is the cleanest place in the world besides the shelter - it is full of sunshine.
According to reason, if the Cherubim have been corrupted, there will be no sunshine there. And He should also make this isolated place into a secret base for the Mist Cultists.
Judging from the behavior of the entire Mutual Aid Association and the ‘Ark’ principles, this wisest of the Seven Gods may have found a way to get rid of corruption. Otherwise, the principles of the Mutual Aid Society would not be to "delay the black tide" and gather all the wealth in the world to build the "Ark".
He may have created the second miracle. And tried to leave this world that was bound to be destroyed.
And someone among the "Angels of the Great Dawn" may have noticed the traces of the Cherubim.
Not only has she been secretly observing the Cherubim for a long time, but she has also been quietly using the power and influence of the Cherubim to do things for herself.
'It is indeed time to meet with Ariadne. This fence-sitter is probably not only planning to let others make wedding clothes for her, but also stepping on two boats under his feet. Shameless, see how I will deal with you when I have time. '
After sending Gale away, the room returned to silence. The atmosphere became a little subtle.
George and Soraya sat on the sofa, feeling very nervous and dared not look into each other's eyes.
With Gale's departure, the two of them had completely sobered up, and the topic of trying on clothes was obviously not suitable to continue
Perhaps it was the quiet atmosphere that made people feel a little awkward, or perhaps it was because they were afraid of what would happen next. Just when George coughed and was about to get up and leave, Soraya, who was so nervous that her palms were sweating, was the first to speak and break the silence.
"Joe, George, do you think the Cherubim will really be in the Forbidden Sanctuary?" Soraya flicked her hair and asked suddenly in a panic.
"Hmm"
This topic made George ponder.
He couldn't help but look at the 'traveler's map' that Gale left on the table.
He had torn off a part of this map, and then Anthony used the torn part to make a magic sand table - it still remains in the shelter.
Although the current map lacks the part of the valley, the other areas are basically 'lit up'.
Every corner of the world is mostly on this map. Although many places are not very accurate, they show the safety and danger of each area.
According to Gale, this is a sacred object given by the Seven Gods to the Mutual Aid Association. However, Anthony, who had studied this map, said that this is most likely a product of the Forbidden Sanctuary - and it is the latest product. The Forbidden Magic Guild was once born in the Star Country. Its history is as long as that of the Star Country. It has existed for thousands of years.
These wizards were eventually persecuted by the Holy Court because of their research on taboos, and eventually left the Star Country and rebuilt a city on a mysterious island overseas.
This city has existed for thousands of years, but during these thousands of years, the Forbidden Sanctuary was just an open learning city, and the things it studied were not as powerful as they are now. The level of wizards inside was only in the category of the top scholars on the continent.
As for their research on magic, it was also extremely primitive - according to Anthony, it was called ancient magic. It was an empirical study of magic without a real theory.
During that period, the new things that appeared in the Forbidden Sanctuary relied on "archaeology". Rather than innovation.
Until three hundred years ago, the world's first magic hub and the "modern magic theory" came out, and after that, the technology tree of the entire Forbidden Sanctuary seemed to change direction and began an unprecedented technological explosion.
In terms of time, this is very consistent with the time when the Cherubim left the Kingdom of Heaven. And if there is any place in the world that has the power of "heaven", I am afraid it is only the wizards of the Forbidden Sanctuary.
"It should be right, Soraya. Anthony mentioned to me that the Forbidden Sanctuary is a floating city, and the architectural pattern is very peculiar. I thought that the architectural pattern was caused by the influence of the floating technology. But now it seems that they are actually in this floating city, secretly building a starship."
"Star, starship?" Soraya blinked, and for a moment she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word. She saw George flipping through the Book of Dawn and waving at her. She couldn't help but come over from the other end of the sofa curiously.
George seemed to be communicating something with the apprentice (librarian) of the library. On the top of the book, along with George's thoughts and the apprentice's notes, some conversations continued to appear.
["Sir, Dean Anthony is working on a project overnight. If you want to contact him, he may come back later. But if you want to talk about the appearance of the Forbidden Sanctuary, I remember that the dean had previously drawn a sketch. Wait a minute. I'll find it for you."]
After a while, a sketch of a city appeared on the page. Judging from the time and signature of the note, it was an essay drawn by Anthony at the beginning of the year.
This was a doodle by Anthony when he was relieving stress, but the apprentices sorted and saved everything Anthony wrote. So it was found quickly.
[Apprentice: "Sir, do you still need to contact Dean Anthony?"]
[George: "No need, I'll let Dawn Light help me establish a spiritual connection directly."]
Then, George said to Dawn Light: "Dawn Light, can you set up a video conference?"
[What is a video conference? Oh, Dawn Light understood what the CEO meant. The CEO likes to do something weird. Dawn Light will try to project you guys. 】
After that, George and Soraya looked at the picture carefully.
Forbidden Sanctuary, although Soraya had never paid much attention to this city, she had imagined what this floating city looked like. But the pattern in the draft was far beyond her imagination.
It was not a floating castle, but a floating island.
But its area was too large, so the whole looked like a flat cookie. This made the buildings on it look low. And the styles of many buildings were also very strange - very similar to the low dome workshops in the shelter.
The "low" buildings made the towers on the floating island look even taller - they seemed to be soaring into the sky, hundreds of meters high. However, they were extremely slender, like upside-down water plants, making people worry whether they would be blown down by the wind.
Above and around these towering spires, there were many triangular islands floating, most of which were connected to those spires, looking like lotus leaves, or large umbrellas supported.
Some of the islands simply separated from the big floating island and floated above it.
I don't know what these islands are used for. Some look like mushroom caps, with no buildings on them. They look very flat and smooth. Some look like concave plates, with many plants planted inside. Many workshops can be vaguely seen. But these workshops have no domes, and the magic hubs and suspended crystals in the workshops can be seen directly. I don't know if these islands are the planed drawings drawn by Anthony.
These islands are as small as hundreds of meters and as large as several kilometers. Most of them are acute triangles. The larger ones are thicker than three or four stories in proportion.
"I think I've seen these things somewhere before." Soraya touched her chin and frowned tightly.
At this time, the light of dawn established a mental connection and pulled all four people into this "video conference".
Then, the illusion of Anthony appeared in front of George and Soraya, and in their minds, the three people seemed to have come to an independent space and were facing each other.
After opening his eyes, Anthony's shadow looked around and said, "This kind of projection doesn't require any magic equipment. It's amazing."
After a brief greeting, several people talked about the main topic. Anthony used the magic sand table to draw the forbidden sanctuary in his mind in three dimensions.
After seeing this three-dimensional projection, Rosgerd looked a little surprised. He said, "When I left, the forbidden sanctuary didn't have so many 'floating castles'."
The 'floating castles' that Rosgerd referred to were those 'umbrella caps'.
While discussing, the two wizards explained to George and the others.
The plants in the 'floating castles' are not only potion gardens, but also many crops and magical creatures. It is a 'plant and animal ecological garden' specially created by wizards. When Anthony left, many potions had already begun to experiment with soilless cultivation, and some crops in the botanical gardens no longer needed soil - but most of them were fungi.
This technology is actually not too surprising. Although the process is complicated, there is no high technical barrier for wizards. Some scholars supported by nobles would also cultivate some soilless toys.
But Anthony's introduction to the floating castle made George's pupils shrink slightly, and Soraya's face became more and more strange.
