On the tenth day after the onset of winter, the brick kiln and magic crystal smelting plant of the new Cecil Collar completed the entire expansion and transformation.

The introduction of mining machinery has ensured a steady increase in steel production, which in turn has ensured that machinery and equipment in other parts of the territory have been set up one after the other, and in the brick kilns and magic crystal smelters, new molding machines, crushers, tunnel kilns, and higher-powered honeycomb nets have replaced the old equipment, and these factories have been rebuilt ahead of schedule, although in many people's minds, the "factories" that occupy a considerable area on the territory are already very large buildings. But in Gawain's eyes, they were always just larger sheds, and it wasn't until all the factories had been expanded at least once that there was a little bit of "factory" in his mind.

The territory changes every day, with plenty of food and heating to keep people afloat, and Nicholas Egg's ungodly metal control that allows machines to go from drawings to reality in batches as if they were printed, and Gawain sees a lot of progress reports on his desk every day, and although it takes a lot of brainpower to review them, he enjoys them.

It's much more comfortable to read a report than to carry a knife and cut down a cultist - the latter only means that someone is being harmed by those evildoers, while the former means that everyone in the territory is getting better and better.

However, in addition to reading the report, Gawain also had other things to do.

The "soul lantern" recovered from Kant was placed on his desk, and the lamp was emitting a faint but pure white shimmer.

When it first left Kant's Domain, this lantern always seemed not very "stable", it continued to emit that kind of light purple light mist like starlight, and as long as someone came into contact with it, they would hear strange noises, not to mention other effects such as causing hallucinations and nightmares, in addition to this, it could not be activated and used in the way Gawain remembered, as if even without Lilith Kant as a "user", the negative power entrenched in the lantern could not be dissipated, Gawain had to temporarily seal it up and put it in a repository in the mountain ruins.

But yesterday the soldiers on guard suddenly came to report that the purple starlight of the lanterns had faded.

It's back to normal – at least on the surface. It seems that the kind of evil ritual performed by the Cultist of the Eternal Sleeper does not store energy for long, and once the ritual is terminated, the nightmare power in the lantern will quickly fade.

Gawain picked up the lantern and took a closer look at its crystal casing and intricate brass base. Through the translucent crystal shell, you can see that there are very complex runes flowing slowly, all of which are similar to the ones they looked like seven hundred years ago.

This lamp is not a product of the ancient Gondor Empire, in fact, its technology comes from the dwarven kingdom in the western part of the continent, and those dwarf mining enthusiasts often give people a sense of rudeness, but in fact they are experts in the processing of intricate props, they are especially good at combining crystals and metals to form all kinds of incredible magic props, the "Dream Lantern" is the proud work of a famous dwarven craftsman at the time.

In Gawain's memory, in addition to enhancing the power of the dream magic and protecting the user's spiritual body, this lamp also has some strange small functions.

He placed his hand on the lantern and slightly injected it with magic without activating it completely, and in the process, he sketched the figure of Selena Gerfen in his mind and silently recited the other person's name in his mind.

After a few seconds, some messy and broken images began to come to his mind.

He "saw" that he was floating at a height of more than a meter above the ground, his perspective swaying slightly from side to side, and in the afterglow next to him, he could see a female figure in a moon-white priest's robe, and in the farther distance, he could see something similar to a camp tent and a simple house.

A surge of excitement surged in Gawain's heart: this information has not disappeared yet!

This is the unique function of the "Dream Lantern" - with the right amount of magic, it can be used to record some images and sounds, and through a special extraction method, it can reproduce the recording in the user's mind. Selena Gerfen often used this feature to record the scenes along the trail, and on a few occasions, she even succeeded in transmitting vital information in this way.

Gawain's only concern was whether the new owner of the lamp had enabled this feature after Selena's death - in this way, Selena Gelfen's "video" would be overwritten by the new user, but now it seems that this secret function is really known only to Selena herself and him.

The first images were of the Pioneer journey, which Gawain Cecil had in his memory, so Gawain quickly skimmed over them, and soon he found the records near the end.

He hoped that Selena Gerfen would maintain the habit of recording meaningful images at any time, and record the images he wanted to know most.

Eventually, another image appeared, in which Gawain "saw" Selena Geer walking down a rugged mountain road, and many solemn-looking "pilgrims" could be seen in front of and behind the road, dressed in priestly garbs or church armor.

In the next frame, Gawain sees an open field at the top of the mountain, where huge altars are arranged, around which priests and church knights stand, and in the distance, clouds and mist, undulating mountains loom in the sea of clouds.

It's the peak of the ancestors! It was a ceremony 700 years ago when the top leaders of the major churches joined forces to communicate with the gods!

"I'm a little nervous, everybody's expressions are nervous, and hopefully everything goes well."

Gawain suddenly heard a faint, deep female voice ringing in his head, and after two seconds of froze, he realized that it was Selena Gelfen's voice—the dream goddess seemed to be recording, recording his feelings at the ceremony.

It's also her habit.

Then the picture shook for a while, Selena seemed to be moving her position, and when the picture stabilized, Gawain saw familiar figures appear next to the large altar in the middle of the clearing.

He saw the Pope of the Church of Light, the Pope of the Church of the God of War, the Grand Imam of the Sect of the Holy Spirit, and the Pope and the Holy See......

Those are the supreme leaders of all denominations.

At this point in time, the "Religious Peace Agreement" or "Ancestral Peak Agreement" has not yet been signed, and the various sects are still in a state of opposition, but this scene on the Ancestral Peak is not as tense as the outside world speculates, and although the atmosphere of the leaders of the various sects is tense and solemn, it is more due to the ceremony itself than their religious stance.

It seems that before communicating with the gods, the leaders of these sects had reached a consensus on peace? Even the leaders of the Dream Church, the Storm Church, and the Druid Church, which later degenerated into dark sects, have agreed with this consensus?

Gawain had all sorts of speculations going through his mind, and in the process, he saw a religious leader emerge from the crowd.

Dressed in a solemn black robe and wearing a wooden mask with constellations and eye motifs, Gawain hesitated for a moment before recognizing this as the Pope of the Church of the God of Dreams seven hundred years ago, Megaor III.

The pope stood in front of the altar, then removed his mask and robes, stood there in only short civilian clothes, and began to receive blessings from the leaders of the other sects, and what happened next confused Gawain:

After the other sect leaders blessed Megaor III, several great magicians stepped forward - these spellcasters who were not clerics began to cast spells on Megael one spell after another.

It was all a variety of protection, almost all the protective spells that Gawain could name were released on the body of this dream pope, and from the robes worn by those great magicians and their temperament, it can be seen that each of them is very powerful, and the effect of those protective spells can be imagined.

After receiving the blessing of the protective spell, Megael III began to wear a strange set of "clothes" with the help of others, which did not have the ornate and elegant robe of the priest, but could only be described as ugly, it had a heavy multi-layered structure, with one-piece gloves and shoes, all the places were covered tightly, and intricate magical patterns could be seen on each layer of fabric.

It wasn't until Megael III put on a strange-looking, crystal-made spherical shell helmet that Gawain finally woke up to what it was:

It's a magical version of a spacesuit!

Selena's voice came from outside the screen at the same time: "...... The Pope has received blessings and magical blessings, and has also put on a protective vestment specially made according to the prompts of the 'Divine Revelation' to protect against the power of the divine realm, and to be honest, the dress is ugly, but it has all the functions it should have, and I hope everything goes well......"

With Selena's soft prayer, Gawain saw Megael III walk up to the altar while two more people stepped out and stood at two special points on the outer edge of the altar.

That's the Pope of the God of Storms, and the Archmaster of the Druids of the Order of the Holy Spirit.

They seemed to have communicated something with the Pope, the god of dreams, standing in the center of the altar, but there was no sound of them in the video recording, and due to the angle of the picture, Gawain could not read any information from their lips, and he could only judge from the shape of the altar that the two sect leaders would be involved in the next ritual and might take some risks.

Then, the ceremony began.

The runes on the altar lit up one after another, and the majestic energy released by the magic array made the surrounding air slightly distorted, and Megael III, whose whole body was shrouded in a "spacesuit", raised his hand and waved vigorously at the pope, the pope, and the Holy See around the altar.

Then a white light fell from the sky, and the figure of Megael III disappeared in an instant in the white light.

And the picture is also plunged into darkness at the same time - the recording ends here.

There seems to be some kind of powerful energy that ends Selena Gelefen's "recording" ahead of schedule.
