Chapter 104: The Hermit Society and the Evil God
"How is it possible, with World War II technology, it is impossible to go to the moon!"
In Uberto Bruni, Roberts has been trying to suppress his emotions, although his heart has long been shocked by one shocking secret after another, and his face is as silent as possible, trying to answer calmly, but when he hears the words coming out of Uberto Bruni's mouth, Roberts can't help but question it.
Then, he frowned, and speculated to himself.
"Wait, you mean to use ancient spells...... That's not possible, ancient spells are not omnipotent, and even in the most prosperous era of ancient spells, it is still impossible for those ancient mages to reach the moon. ”
With that, this witcher, who was extremely familiar with the knowledge of the inner world, categorically rejected his guess.
"Stupid!"
But listening to Roberts's words, the young man snorted coldly, and his accustomed disdain and disdain appeared on his face again.
"Ancient spells, stupid as monkeys. The Ancient Army wielded an ancient and more mysterious mystery than the ancient spells, the magic that originated in the Atlantean civilization, which they called 'Aether magic', but ...... I prefer to call it 'angelic knowledge'. ”
When it came to angelic knowledge, he paused inexplicably, and then muttered.
"Atlantis?Angel Knowledge?"
Obviously, both of these words made Roberts think a lot, but Uberto didn't want to explain more, just continued.
"In the Book of Giants, it is recorded that angels teach human beings knowledge, and there are all kinds of forbidden knowledge, but some of them are attracted to the beautiful women on the earth, and they give birth to giants......"
"The Book of Giants is an apocrypha!"
At this moment, Wendy, who had remained silent behind Roberts, suddenly spoke.
From beginning to end, Roberts was always speaking among the three, Joan was silent because she didn't know what was going on, Wendy chose to be silent for some reason, and when Uberto mentioned "The Book of Giants", Wendy suddenly retorted.
Apocrypha, that is, a forged scripture, the Book of the Giants is regarded in Christianity as an apocrypha forged in the name of a saint. Unlike Roberts, who was not religious, Wendy was so religious that Uberto couldn't help but speak when he mentioned the Giant's Book.
But Uberto looked at her strangely, and his cold eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Apocrypha? In this absurd and strange world, everything is false, history is false, time is false, memory is false, even this universe is false, what are you still mentioning to me? Who is true and who is false? Poor headless fly, blind and ignorant guardian of the hermitage, you don't even know the current situation of the hermitage, it is no longer the hermit you know. ”
When Uberto said "Guardian of the Retreat", as if some huge secret had been revealed, Wendy's face suddenly lost its color and turned pale, but Uberto sneered and turned to look at Roberts.
"Roberts, I reminded you that this woman is not worthy of your trust. ”
"I ......"
Wendy looked at Uberto in front of her, couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked at Roberts helplessly, with a little plea in her eyes, trying to explain something, but couldn't say it.
"Roberts, you have to believe me, I have absolutely no intention of doing you any favor, I have always been there to help you...... I ......"
Roberts didn't say much, just put his hand between Wendy and Uberto, preventing Wendy from seeing Uberto again, and then looked at Uberto indifferently.
"That's enough, little one, if you really want to work with me, don't stir up trouble between me and Wendy, I don't know why you're so hostile to Wendy, and I know Wendy has something to hide from me, but I trust her. If you still want to cooperate, don't talk about it again. ”
Roberts emphasized.
It is true that Roberts can sense that Wendy has a secret, but he does not suspect Wendy, because Wendy will be caught by the hermitage at any time if she really wants to, but Wendy has been trying to help them along the way.
Compared with Uberto, who has just met and doesn't know the details, Roberts is more willing to believe in Wendy, who he grew up watching.
Uberto looked at the three people in front of him indifferently, and finally chuckled inexplicably.
"Hehe, okay, I won't mention this matter again, then continue to talk about the ancient army group. ”
"As I said, *** Germany has been working on the Atlantean civilization, the legendary continent that sank into the sea, and they have indeed gained something. Do I remember when I said I found a fragment of a tablet with runes on it? It was originally an Atlantean relic collected by *** Germany, and it was the oldest supernatural thing I had ever found...... In another historical perspective, this is the case. ”
"For example, the legend of the flying saucer, which was popular in the last century, is that they used the technology of the Atlantean civilization to develop flying machines, and there are many things like that, but in the end they could not save the fate of Germany. So after the defeat of Germany, the small ancient army group went to the South Pole, and then used their own technology to go to the moon, of course, this is also my speculation based on various clues, as for the rest of the matter I don't know, because I can't know what happened on the moon. ”
"I've been searching for the world key on Earth for a long time, but I haven't found it, so I can only think that the world key is on the moon, and this is everything I know about the world key trail. ”
Uberto didn't pursue Wendy's matter anymore, but just told what he knew indifferently.
"So, the root of it all is because the monastic is trying to find the information about the world key from you? ”
Roberts raised an eyebrow slightly, then snorted coldly.
For Roberts, he can be described as extremely unhappy, he was living well, but suddenly he was forced to flee with his daughter to chase him, he was a trivial matter, and his daughter was the source of his unhappiness when he ate and slept with him.
In the face of Roberts's evaluation, Uberto didn't care, just muttered inexplicably.
"Maniac...... Perhaps, this crazy world. ”
Then he looked up at Roberts and said calmly.
"Mr. Roberts, the next thing you and I have to do is to go to the moon and find the world key to fight against the hermit in the same way as the ancient army group back then, and defeat it. ”
Roberts looked at him, noncommittal.
"What do I get paid?"
"Remuneration?"
As he spoke, Uberto laughed, his dark eyes looking at Roberts, tired but unusually sharp.
"With my ability, I can give you everything you want on Earth, and it will be easy for you to return to your old life, the only thing I am afraid of is the power of the Retreat, I need the World Key to achieve this, and when it happens, you and your daughter and Miss Wendy will be able to restore peace. ”
Roberts looked at him with undisguised suspicion in his eyes, and Uberto looked at him without fear, and finally, Roberts looked in the direction of the stairs and said without looking back.
"Since you said that you are going to the moon later, you can always let us rest for a while, so that we can't even drink saliva and rush to the South Pole with you?"
"Of course, it's not big, but it's safe enough, and there are two bedrooms that are empty, so you can rest for a few days......"
An unabashed smile of success appeared on Uberto's face.
The three of them began to walk in the direction of the staircase, with Roberts at the front, Wendy at the end, and Joan protected by the two in the middle. Apparently both were on guard against Uberto, though the girl was still at a loss for it.
And Wendy was about to step up the stairs.
"Lady Wendy, do you think the current monastic is still the monastic you know?"
Behind him, Uberto's calm voice rang out.
......
After watching the three of them ascend the stairs, the smile on Uberto's face gradually replaced by indifference.
There is no doubt that he has hidden a lot from Roberts, but one thing is true, he has no ill will towards Roberts, and everything he does is just to protect himself......
yes, just for self-preservation.
"Hermit ......"
He muttered under his breath as he reached the back of his head, soft skin beneath the thick hair, and ...... A layer of fine scales.
It wasn't much, but it was only the size of a coin, and it couldn't be seen on the surface without pulling the hair, but the scales that reached into the flesh were unmistakably real, and Uberto had tried to pull out one of them, but the scales that had grown under the skin were painful and unbearable.
Eventually, it turned out to be a snake-like scale.
Uberto, who already knew a lot about the world key, knew in his heart what it was. He dared to confirm that the world key was on the moon, not just because of the information he had gathered, in fact, the ancient army group had all gone to the moon, and there were not many clues left at all, the real reason was that he could clearly feel it...... The whispering call from the moon.
The voice whispered in his ears, making him look up at the moon that called him.
"Both me and the monastic are already too deeply involved...... Leonardo da Vinci, is that why you refused to tell the monastic about the world key, preferring to take that knowledge with you......
The genius who could compete with Leonardo da Vinci muttered.
There was no doubt that Roberts had not trusted him, or had not trusted him at all, and that he had to rely on his own strength because he was powerless against the Order.
But it doesn't matter, after all, Roberts has already come, the secret that the hermitage has kept for thousands of years has come to him, and the thing he has been worried about can finally rest assured, as long as the secret is in his hands, even if there is no world key, it doesn't really matter much.
It's ridiculous that the retreat lasts for thousands of years, and in the end they forget the secrets they really want to keep, or rather...... Is that really still a monastic?
......
In the underground church of London, a group of grey-robed friars were muttering prayers in front of a strange sculpture, and one of them was bowing his head and trembling unnaturally, as if he was enduring something.
“......”
It whispered something, and as its body trembled, it emitted a strangely non-human voice in its throat, a strange ultra-low sound that would never be possible with human vocal cords.
“laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
Caught in inexplicable excitement and ecstasy, the grey-robed monk threw up his head and let out a strange roar, the burqa on his head scattered, revealing his sharp teeth and long snake letters, covered in snake-like scales, and a lizard-like face that was completely indistinguishable from a human face.
“f039; gnaiih039; ee goka agl (God is about to awaken...... )”
Accompanied by the strange voice of the leading monk, many gray-robed monks bowed down to the statue feverishly......
The entrenched snake statue, the snake stared coldly at everything in front of him with its erect pupils, overlooking the battle between the tiny insects beneath him.
