Chapter 291: Ebon
Ebon, one of the most powerful human mages in the Cthulhu Mythos, mentions in the setting that Ibonn once saved humanity.
Born in the city of Ikua, the Ibon was exiled by the priests of the elk goddess Iheuti and orphaned by the orphaned Ibonn who fled to the tower of the sorcerer Serak and was adopted by him as his disciple.
After Serac's death, Ebonn began his journey across the border, visiting many places and growing in fame. He lived for a time in a tower in Mu Turan on the peninsula at the end of the continent, where he began to worship one of the old rulers, the god of the toad, Satogua, who was the ancient god worshipped by the hairy sub-race of the continent to the Hiberian people at the time. It is said that Ebonn was not only a magician.
According to legend, Ebonn was later denounced as a heretic by the rival magician Morki, so he relied on the knowledge taught to him by Satogua and fled to Sekranosius (also known as Saturn) through the Magic Gate, where he was worshipped as a deity.
However, after Ebon's disappearance from the earth, he still left behind a magic book - the Book of Ebon, which mentions a lot of magic, mythological knowledge, especially detailed descriptions of many old rulers, and most importantly, the Book of Ebonn also records a large number of forbidden knowledge and ancient spells that are not recorded in the Necronomicon, which shows the importance of the Book of Ebonn in the Cthulhu Mythos system.
However, because the original Book of Ebonn is written in Heberic script, the gap between the Book of Ebonn in other languages and the original Book of Ebonn is very large, in short, reading the original Book of Ebonn will lose the SAN value of 1d10 for success and 2d10 for failure, while reading the Book of Ebonn in modern languages, such as English and French, will only lose the SAN value of 1d4 for success and 2d4 for failure.
From the amount of SAN lost, you can see how big the gap is between the original "Book of Ebon" and the translated version of "Book of Ebon".
Therefore, combined with Lu Tianya's statement, Liu Xing can be regarded as understanding Ibon's Golem Crafting Technique, and why it has become a low-profile version now, mainly because of the language, there was an error in translating the Golem Crafting Technique.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but wonder if there was a "Book of Ibon" in the hands of the Deep Sea Gospel Society?
You must know that the number of surviving "Book of Ebon" is very small, because "Book of Ebon" has always been only a manuscript, circulated in the hands of various secret churches or a powerful magician, and has never been printed and promoted on a large scale, so according to the setting in the game of Cthulhu Running, the total number of versions of "Book of Ebon" may not exceed 100, and many of them are fragments.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the Book of Ebonne in the hands of the Deep Sea Gospel Society should be a fragment, and it could even be said that it only recorded the fragment of the Golem Crafting Technique.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing still felt a little empty-hearted, because Liu Xing could be sure that his next world mission would be to destroy the headquarters of the Deep Sea Gospel Society, and then the ghost knows how many golems there will be in the headquarters of the Deep Sea Gospel Society...
So, Liu Xing opened his mouth and said, "Lu Tianya, do you know what weaknesses this golem has?" ”
Lu Tianya smiled, shook the ruby in his hand, and said: "This is not simple, I just told you to Meteor classmates, these current low-profile versions of the golem, someone must use a special spell, and provide special spiritual power to the golem, the golem can act, if no one is responsible for controlling the golem, then the golem is similar to an ordinary statue, a hammer will be broken directly, and even if someone controls the golem, if you can't beat the golem, you can choose to directly attack the person who controls the golem." ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart that he was concerned about it, and he didn't even think of such a simple answer.
"That's right, this is just a solution to the low-profile version of the Golem, if you are really so lucky, meet an original Golem, then it's better to run away, because the original Golem is extremely powerful, I have heard such two stories, the first is in the Middle Ages, the Holy Roman Empire excavated a damaged Golem, and as a result, the Golem was accidentally activated, and finally the Holy Roman Empire dispatched tens of thousands of troops, and hundreds of magicians destroyed the Golem, As a result, the Holy Roman Empire was devastated by this, the central government lost control over the localities, and the Holy Roman Empire began to decline. ”
"The second story also takes place on the continent of Europa, but the time has come to the Second World War, when an army of Italy was carrying out artillery bombardment, it suddenly hit a golem, and as a result, the Golem entered counterattack mode, directly eliminating the strength of the two regiments of Italy, and finally because the power of the Golem was completely consumed, the army of Italy was not completely annihilated by the Golem, and finally the Golem was given to Germany by Italy, and the head of Germany began to believe in supernatural powers, Command his men to form expeditions to explore supernatural powers around the globe. Lu Tianya said seriously.
After listening to the story told by Lu Tianya, Liu Xing once again had a new understanding of the Golem, but he didn't expect the original Golem to be so powerful.
"Listening to what Lu Tianya said, there should still be a lot of original golems left in this world." Liu Xing continued to ask.
Lu Tianya nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, there are indeed many original golems in this world now, such as the golem that was completely destroyed by the Holy Roman Empire, and now it is still sealed at the bottom of the Caspian Sea. And the Golem that was given to Germany by Italy was taken away by the American Lighthouse State because of Germany's defeat in World War II, and is now stored in Area 51 of the American Lighthouse Country for various research, mainly to study how to power the Golem; In addition, there are still six original golems that can be confirmed to exist, one of which is in the hands of Huaxia, and the remaining five golems are in the hands of five secret churches, but it is certain that none of these golems can be used normally now, because no one can decipher the control core of the original golem. ”
Liu Xing nodded, he didn't expect that in this parallel world, there were still so many original golems.
But now Liu Xing is even more curious about why Lu Tianya knows so much.
Lu Tianya looked at Liu Xing, who looked curious, shrugged his shoulders and said: "These are actually open secrets in my circle, after all, this world is not so simple, and demons and monsters do not only exist in legends. ”
Liu Xing nodded, suddenly thought of another question, and asked: "By the way, classmate Lu Tianya, do you know anything about the person Ibon, since he can study the Golem Crafting Technique, then he must be a very powerful existence." ”
The reason why Liu Xing asked this question was because Liu Xing wanted to take this opportunity to gain some more knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos, after all, as the leader of a secret church, the knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos was still a little higher.
Lu Tianya thought about it, and told Liu Xing all the knowledge he knew about Ebone, although Liu Xing knew all this knowledge, but Watanabe Meteor didn't know.
So, KP Fangs informed Liu Xing: "Because you have obtained information about the great mage Ibon, you have obtained 1 point of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge, of course, because your Cthulhu Mythos knowledge has reached a certain value, so this time Liu Xing, you still don't have to lose SAN value." ”
1 point of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge is better than nothing.
After listening to Lu Tianya's account about Ibon, Liu Xing said goodbye again and left Lu Tianya's home.
Half an hour later, Liu Xing returned home and told everything he had discussed with Lu Tianya.
Of course, after all, they are all players in the Shogoth area, and Naruto Hanxing naturally knows who Ebon is.
Therefore, Ming Hanxing opened his mouth and said: "Sect Master, I didn't expect the statue we smashed casually to be so big, fortunately we broke this statue, otherwise the Gospel of Deep Love will use this statue against us in the future, then we will be in big trouble, but it seems that this Deep Sea Gospel will be even more powerful than we imagined, after all, according to Lu Tianya, there are not many secret churches in the world that can make this low-profile version of the Golem." ”
Liu Xing nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That's true, but after all, the Deep Sea Gospel Society enshrines a powerful Deep Diver, I think it was the Deep Diver who taught the low-level version of the Golem Making Technique to the Deep Sea Gospel Society, of course, I think such a powerful Golem, the Kyoto branch of the Deep Sea Gospel Society should only have such a one, so we don't have to worry about this for the time being, let's discuss the two associations that may be formed by the student believers of the Deep Sea Gospel Society." ”
The bone river doctor on the side stood up at this time and said: "I still know a little about these two clubs, because these two clubs are very strange, they have never openly recruited new people, and club activities have never been open to the public, so I once investigated these two clubs out of curiosity, and found that the members of these two clubs have close contacts with each other, and they will carry out club activities together every three or five times, and the instructors of these two clubs are Yamamoto 205." ”
"At that time, when I investigated this, I became more interested in these two clubs, and it happened that there was a person in our class who participated in one of the clubs at that time, so I deliberately observed that person, and found that he had always looked like a god, so to speak, and he did not communicate with anyone in the class."
"In the end, that person suddenly transferred, and the students of the two clubs, except for a few heads of the clubs, the other students basically only stayed in the school for one or two semesters, and then transferred and left, so I also checked those students at that time, and found that they all transferred to Hokkaido, and it seems that they are still the same school."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said affirmatively: "In this way, these students should be believers in the Deep Sea Gospel Society, and the school they transferred to should also be the property of the Deep Sea Gospel Society, so then again, will these students join the class group chat?" ”
At this time, Nobita waved his mobile phone and said, "I have asked someone to ask just now, and these students will still join the class group chat, but they will never speak." ”
Liu Xing nodded, and said to Bone River Doctor and Nobi Nobita: "Are you sure that everything has been arranged, and won't let the Deep Sea Gospel find out that you are organizing a class strike?" ”
Guchuan Xiaofu smiled, patted his chest and said: "Sect Master, don't worry, I arranged it through several people's turnover, and it is impossible for the Deep Sea Gospel Society to find out about us, and I heard about the method of encouraging students to strike classes this time, and I heard about it from the head of the propaganda department of my company, and I guarantee that there will be no problems." ”
Hearing Guchuan Xiaofu say this, Liu Xing can be regarded as relieved.
"By the way, the sect leader, MiG just sent another voice file, the note is that after we left the Fujiwara Shrine just now, Alice and they all arrived at the Fujiwara Shrine for a short meeting, fortunately yesterday when MiG was visiting the Fujiwara Shrine at night, bugs were placed in some key positions, so they recorded their conversation, because the Sect Master, you didn't come back, so we haven't played it yet." As he spoke, Ming Hanxing took out a mobile phone and handed it to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing nodded, and clicked to play the recording file sent by MiG, which was the content of Alice's conversation.
After listening to this recording, Liu Xing and Ming Hanxing glanced at each other, because they both guessed that the five killers who shot the spokesperson of the Shadow Society should also be players!
However, this is not suitable for discussion now, so Liu Xing said: "It seems that Kyoto is about to change the sky, and if the Shadow Society of the Raptors crossing the river can find trouble with the Deep Sea Gospel Society, it would be great, so that we can take advantage of the fisherman, but I think the Deep Sea Gospel Society should not choose to sit still, but unfortunately we are short of manpower now, Mr. Ming, you tell MiG on my behalf, if he finds out that the Deep Sea Gospel Society communicates with the Shadow Society, then notify me directly, of course, If he can destroy the relationship between the Deep Sea Gospel Society and the Shadow Society, then MiG will let it go. ”
Ming Hanxing nodded and said, "I understand, I'll go and inform MiG." ”
PS: I originally wanted to write the god of toads as something like that, but after thinking about it, I don't want to die.
