Truth be told, Gawain didn't mind that Pittman had been a Cultist (and Eternal Sleeper), and he had a vague connection between the little old man and the fallen druids for a long time — and even if there was no connection, Pittman couldn't have been an ordinary low-level druid.

He knew too much about the higher arts, and he knew too much about the history of the Druids, and although he explained that it was all part of the Druid lineage, Gawain never believed it. And even without taking into account the knowledge beyond the low-level druid inheritance, Pittman's creation of the "Inverter Array" is a very interesting situation: the Inverter Array requires the technology of the Ancient Gondor Empire, and the rune array itself has many structures beyond the orthodox Druid inheritance, these things...... Ordinary druids are hard to come by, and only those who are obsessed with extreme technology, and those who are veteran druids who specialize in ancient mysteries in the mountains and forests of the Silver Empire.

The senior druids of the Silver Empire would theoretically not go to the human realm to be abducted, so Gawain preferred the former.

When he finally pierced the window paper, Pitman also completely relaxed, and he held the teacup, which was not so hot, with a sigh in his tone: "Actually, I hesitated for a long time to say these things - after all, you still look like a good lord, but I also have to watch my head......"

"Now that things are said and done, I think you'll have a lot easier," Gawain smiled, "I don't mind what sect you joined back then, as long as you can work for me now, and to be honest, your experience of joining two dark sects is a kind of value to me - from normal means, it is difficult to grasp the secrets of the Inner Death Society." ”

He only mentions the Death of All Things, because there are better insiders among the Sleepers - Daniel, who has been promoted to Bishop of Nightmares, is a better source of information than Pittman.

"Don't expect too much from that," Pitman reminded, "The Church of the End of All Things has strict internal controls, and the Blight Priest is already in the middle and upper echelons, but the secrets I have access to are still limited, and I've been out there for decades, so it's hard to say if it's the same inside as I know it." ”

Gawain looked Pittman in the eye, "At least you can tell me the general structure of it, how it works, and the general purpose." ”

Pitman groaned for a moment, then recalled, "...... The Blighted Believers are the most basic members of the Church of the End, and generally speaking, the members who are new to the Church are at this level, and the Blighted Believers include the lowest-ranking druids, merchants and minor nobles who donate their wealth, and a large number of ordinary people......

"Above the withered believers are the shepherds, and from this level onwards is a class made up entirely of transcendentals. The Foresters are an important force in the Society of the Dead, and they are responsible for walking the world, recruiting new members by all means, spreading the doctrine of the end of all things, causing destruction, managing the withered believers at the grassroots, or carrying out other orders from the upper priests......

"Further up there is the Blighted Priest, which is the rank after the promotion of the Herdsman, and usually requires mid-level supernatural strength to be promoted, but there are exceptions. The Blight Priest is qualified to study the ancient texts and to study and participate in the study of the various taboos of the Society of the End......

"At a higher level is the Imam, which is equivalent to the bishop, and only at this level is he qualified to access the true secrets of the Church, to know what the Church is all about, and to be qualified to speak to the Grand Patriarch......

"The Grand Imam is the supreme leader of the Society of the Dead of All Things, and the members of the middle and lower levels of the Church have only heard of him, but they are not qualified to contact him. It is said that the Grand Imam resides in an ancient underground palace and studies the most forbidden secret art of flesh and blood......

"The Society of the End of All Things has a very strict organizational structure and strict internal management, members at all levels have the corresponding authority to act, and the members at the bottom are not qualified to know the whole picture of the entire organization, nor are they qualified to know the entire content of the orders from the top, this is to prevent the leakage of secrets, but also to prevent defectors from causing damage to the organization.

"The end of all things will carry out brainwashing missionary missions to the middle and lower classes, and they will use the bait of curing terminal diseases, granting power, and even immortality to make the congregation die, and the various secret techniques they have mastered can indeed fulfill their promises to a certain extent, such as curing diseases and prolonging life. But as far as I know, this superficial skill has never been the real goal of the end of all things, they have a larger plan, I don't know what this plan is all about, but judging by some of their research directions, I think they may be pursuing...... Some kind of evolution. ”

Gawain's eyebrows couldn't help but raise: "Evolution?!" What do you mean? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I've come into contact with a female imam named 'Bertila', who is a paranoid and crazy woman who is crazy about biochemical modifications, and she even fused her body with a bloodthirsty plant to become a half-plant, half-human form, and she told me that those transformations are all part of the 'Great Evolution', and as far as I know, other patriarchs have more or less similar transformations, and their transformations are all in preparation for some kind of 'Great Evolution'......"

Gawain touched his chin and pondered for a moment - seeking "evolution" through biochemical transformation is indeed very similar to the path that the madmen of the Society of the End of All Things will take, but is their purpose really just to pursue "evolution"?

Unfortunately, that's all Pitman knows - he has only reached the level of "withered priest" within the Society of the End, and all he can access is limited to the concept of "Great Evolution".

Gawain asked, "How much do you know about the cooperation between the Society of the End of All Things and the Eternal Sleeper?" ”

"All I know is that the three major sects have cooperated since the beginning of their descent into darkness, with the End of All Things providing biochemical modification technology, the Eternal Sleeper providing knowledge and ...... 'mind aid', and the Stormchild ...... They are a very special group, they bring secret forbidden knowledge and all kinds of magical materials from the deep sea, they have little communication with the land, they seem to have been looking for something in the deep sea, and they are not so closely related to the other two sects. The demise of all things is a fixed connection to the Children of the Storm, but we don't know what those sea maniacs are trying to do, and we even think that they have been exposed to the dark and twisted secrets of the deep sea too much, and have become mentally and physically distinct, and sooner or later they will become something like a sea demon and completely fall to the other side of the ocean. ”

"Looking for something...... Gawain mused, "maybe you can ask Tyre...... No, I'm afraid that salted fish can't think of anything, they only care about their big squid......"

After a moment of silence, Gawain knocked on the table, "Let's go back to the problem of artificial nerve cords. ”

"Artificial neural cords do have the hidden dangers you mentioned, and they require neurosurgery, which is extremely risky, at least when I leave, this technology still has no hope of a breakthrough," Pitman nodded, "But if you want to realize the interaction between the human brain and the rune array without the help of the Sleeper's secret technique, the neural cord or similar neural modification is an unavoidable medium, I don't know where you got this part of the technology exactly, But you'll probably be aware of its role as well: there must be a biochemical interface between the human brain and the machine. Of course, if you have a special spiritual talent, or if you are good at the secret art of the Eternal Sleeper, that's a different story......"

"You're right, the biochemical interface has to exist, but it doesn't have to be implantable," Gawain interrupted Pittman, "remember Patty's tiara?" ”

Pitman was stunned, and the wrinkles on his face deepened: "You mean ......"

"The Eternal Sleeper has gone further in this field, and Patty's crown is essentially a non-implantable cranial neural interface that creates a solid connection between the human brain and the rune array without the need for a hole in the nerve."

"But the core of that crown can't be simplified, and it uses a lot of materials that can't be obtained by conventional means......"

"It's true that our technicians haven't found an idea, but someone has made some progress," Gawain laughed, pulling out a document from his desk and pushing it to Pittman, "Take a look, you should be able to understand." ”

Pitman took the information in confusion, and he noticed that the words and drawings on the paper must have been written not long ago, and they still exuded a faint scent of ink, and after seeing the specific content of the information, he could no longer take his eyes off it.

These materials are the same materials that Daniel has just sent to Gawain through the psychic network, and they are also the second batch of materials about brainwave connection technology.

Pittman looked up in dismay: "This is ......"

"The non-implantable nerve cord improves the fault tolerance rate with an ingenious complementary contact structure, and adds a layer of filtering and protective runes, which can effectively reduce the user's nerve pressure, reduce hallucinations and hallucinations - and most importantly, because it is non-implantable, it can be quickly cut off when the connection is faulty, although it may cause certain sequelae, but at least there is no need to worry about brain death."

"It doesn't seem to be done yet......"

"That's right, there are some key points that can't be finalized due to the lack of actual testing," Gawain nodded, "The person who designed it ...... for the time being There are no conditions for experimentation. ”

Daniel had just settled in Typhon's imperial capital, and in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he was now very low-key, and his experimental conditions were limited until his private laboratory was completed and he himself was trusted by the Typhon Royal Mages Society.

"The man who designed it ......," Pittman heard a deep meaning from Gawain's words, and he realized that he still knew too little about the pioneer who had come back from the dead.

Behind this lord, there are some unseen people or forces working for him.

"We've got the conditions for experiments, the labs, the people, the materials, everything," the old druid said, his face wrinkled as he tilted his head, "and now there's an expert with experience in both the dead and the Eternal Sleeper technology - and it's double the prize." ”

"If you can turn these drawings into physical objects, I can give you three times."

"Oh, that's all going to be easy."

Pieterman left, and Gawain exhaled relaxedly behind his desk, then stood up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window of his study.

There is no distinction between good and bad technology, the key is people.

After today, Pittman should be able to contribute even more to the realm - how useful is the knowledge of a dark priest who has put down his baggage (and joined the Cult twice)?

Gawain is looking forward to this.

His gaze looked through the crystal glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows into the courtyard at the small scuffle between the girls that was still going on.

Tyr was finally hit by the snowball, and rushed to the courtyard to participate in the battle, and now she turned into a mass of sea demons with a diameter of more than ten meters entrenched next to the pool, more than a dozen tentacles extended from around her body, throwing an overwhelming continuous cloud of snow in all directions, the hideous, indescribable huge limbs were like the abyssal monsters that ravaged the world in the horror myth, and opposite this huge sea demon, Rebecca was raising her staff high under the cover of amber, brewing a fireball larger than the door panel......

Gawain: "?? ”

No...... What about the snowball fights of the girls in the warm and everyday life?

The window of the study on the second floor was pushed open: "You guys, come up for me!! ”

The Rebecca trio's last snowball fight of the winter is over.
