Hearing "a little connection with the gods", Carmal and Veronica immediately became nervous.

In the past year or so, Cecil has faced enough of "having a little connection to the gods".

Gawain saw that the atmosphere had been successfully mobilized by himself, so he didn't continue to sell anything, but said straight to the point: "There are reports from Daniel's side that Typhon has recently had several mysterious deaths of God of War priests in the church—he hasn't been able to find out the specific situation, but it's certain that the death toll has definitely exceeded five—and they've all been concentrated in the past half a month. ”

"The mysterious death of the priest?" Hetty frowned first when he heard it, "It's just a mysterious death of the priest...... It could also be some kind of assassination attack against the church...... Similar things can happen in places where theocracy is more severe and the people are fierce, especially in more remote areas. ”

"Basically, this possibility is ruled out," Gawain shook his head, "There is more than one church where the incident occurred, including the area where the Ares Cult is dominant, and if it is attacked by heretics, the Church of the God of War will definitely use it as an opportunity to publicize the martyrs - but the truth is that all the deaths have not been made public, and even the scene has been cordoned off, and Daniel has heard the news from a special channel." ”

Hearing such an answer, the people in the room immediately looked at each other.

"Typhon has the God of War belief as the mainstream sect, and the gods of war hold a high position in their society. In the past hundred years, there have been quite a few Ares priests who have died, but they have all died on various battlefields because of their teachings, and there are only a handful of cases where they have died mysteriously after assassinations and other attacks, and it is not convenient to make them public after their deaths - there are only twelve records that I can find on my side, and those twelve incidents are spread over a full two centuries of time," Amber broke the silence on the side, and said the intelligence after the analysis of the military intelligence, "One of the opinions on our side is that there is something wrong within Typhon's God of War sect, The death of the priest may have been the result of some kind of internal struggle, so it is difficult to make it public, but ......"

"It's just that this speculation still lacks support," Gawain took Amber's words, "First of all, according to the information we have, the Church of Typhon of War has been united and stable over the years, the current reigning Pope Malm Dunit is in good health, and the Episcopal Church's control over all levels of the Church has no problems, plus the situation in Typhon's country is also very smooth, and the Church of War has no reason for internal struggle." ”

"So it's hard to set up this direction," Veronica said thoughtfully, her gaze falling on Gawain's face, "but from the fact that the priest died mysteriously, why do you think it might have something to do with the gods?" ”

“…… Someone is crazy. Gao Wen said lightly.

Veronica's eyes instantly became serious, and the fingers clenching the platinum scepter were slightly forced, and the Carmel next to her suddenly increased its brightness a little, so that everyone else had to squint.

"There are several priests who have been in contact with the scene of death who have fallen into madness afterwards, judging from the time, they must have witnessed the death of those priests, or rather...... I saw something 'changed' that shouldn't be seen. Despite the efforts of the Church of the God of War to suppress the news, there are still rumours circulating, which are corroborated by the fact that the Grand Church of the God of War in Aldernan suddenly held a closed-door meeting and closed the outer cloister on open days......"

"The exterior cloister was closed on the open house, and it was after these events......" Veronica's eyes narrowed suddenly, "it's ...... It's really unusual. ”

"So, I'd like to hear what experts like you have to say," Gawain looked at Veronica and Carmel, "especially Veronica, what do you think—you should have some understanding of church running in modern society. ”

"Judging from the worst possibility, the priests who died mysteriously were all killed by 'divine punishment' or similar divine powers, and their deaths must have been blasphemous, polluted, and caused uncontrollable secondary pollution, so the churches around the country would block the news," Veronica immediately said of her opinion, "and the priests suffered" There are usually only two reasons for the 'divine punishment' or the power of the gods, either because they have deliberately done something rebellious and have no effective protection, or because some powerful force interferes with their faith and causes them to lose the favor of the gods, as is often the case for priests whose minds are controlled by powerful evil spirits. ”

Then she paused, and then added: "But neither of these points is likely - firstly, the current Church of Typhon of the God of War is stable and has a deep foundation of faith, and it is impossible for several priests distributed in different regions to turn their backs on the gods in a short period of time, and secondly, ...... The evil spirits that can control the minds of the priests are afraid of the power of the relics, and they only haunt the wilderness, but the priests die in the church. ”

Gawain nodded, and then suddenly mentioned something: "By the way, there is a detail, according to Daniel's inquiry, it seems that the priest who had an accident happened when he was praying alone. ”

Veronica's face changed slightly: "When you pray alone?!" ”

"That's right." Gawain replied with a serious expression.

"That'...... I'm afraid it's the third possibility," Carmel was silent for a long time before finally speaking in a deep voice, "and the possibility we are most worried about......

Veronica clenched the platinum scepter, closed her eyes slightly, and said what Kamel wanted to say: "God of War...... It's out of trouble. ”

"It's too early to draw such conclusions, but we must be vigilant," Gawain's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, "Typhon's side doesn't need us to warn us, the Augustus family should have sensed that something was wrong at this time, they are suffering from the curse of the gods, and they are vigilant in this regard - the key is that we need to be prepared."

"The belief in the god of war in Cecil's territory is not strong, although there is a certain number of believers, but there is no very strong church and priests, and it has also been reformed by the government department, and it is relatively easy to supervise - this matter is handed over to Amber, and it is necessary to pay attention to the wind and grass of the domestic god of war priests;

"In addition to monitoring the priests, we should also pay attention to the situation of the believers, although the current news from Typhon's side is focused on the priests who died mysteriously, but it is difficult to say whether the believers will also be affected. It's up to Herty to take care of that.

"Kamal, you and Jenny's research on the Siren runes has paid off, the Mind Protection System has been tested in actual combat, and now is the time for them to continue to be useful - we need more and more effective Mind Protection Systems, at least to meet the supply of all armies. Many soldiers believe in the god of war, and many of them are devout, and we need to prevent this from happening......"

Gawain finished his arrangement one by one, and when he finished speaking, he began to think about what else he was missing, and at this moment, the magic network terminal placed next to his desk suddenly lit up, making a buzzing and clicking sound, and then, a figure with long white hair dragging to his ankles appeared in the room out of thin air.

"Naretil?" Amber glanced at the figure that appeared out of thin air in a little surprise, "When were you there?" ”

Naretil immediately shook her head: "I didn't eavesdrop......"

"Ah, I called her, but she's invisible, I almost forgot," Gawain patted his head lightly, looking at the former god in front of him, "Naretir, what do you want to say?" ”

"That rune, you can put it in a neural network," Naretir nodded, and said with a serious face, "I remember it was useful, and it was blocked for a long time when I wanted to enter the real world......"

The words of this "former god" who has now coexisted with the Internet suddenly made Gao Wen's eyes light up - as a satellite spirit who crossed over from the earth, he didn't even expect this!

Of course, the main reason for his eyes to light up was not that he was suddenly in his heart, but that Kamel really lit up.

"That's a great way to do it! The magic web connects all the terminals, and the main effect of the mental protection system is actually those runes, if we can broadcast a specific group of runes throughout the territory, even if we can't prevent the direct invasion of the gods, we can also avoid the most affected priests and believers from being polluted by the mind," Kamel said with a hint of excitement, which was the joy that erupted after the researcher discovered a new use in the field of technology, "What if' The Mad God' really appeared, as long as he kept his sanity in the first wave of attacks, the biggest crisis would be over! ”

"But the premise for this idea to take effect is that the entire territory of the empire is connected to the grid," Hetty, who had not spoken, said next to him, calming everyone on the scene, "Now the neural network is still limited to the southern border, and the main hub in other regions is not online, and there is only one line connecting all over the country, and that line cannot withstand the pressure of broadcasting across the territory." ”

“…… Then we can only hope that what happened to Typhon was just an early sign...... Let's hope our entire network can be completed sooner," Veronica said slowly in a soft, reassuring tone with her eyelids slightly lowered, "Relax, we're just planning for the worst, and we do have a lot of effective means." ”

At this time, Amber couldn't help but sigh: "Alas...... At this point, my biggest concern was the Typhonians...... I'll admit that Rosetta Augustus is a talent, but it's completely unknown how much he can prepare...... The Typhonians don't have neural networks, and they don't have mental protection technology, so if they blow up over there, I'm afraid we'll have some impact here......"

"However, whether we are a police officer or a helper to Typhon, we must first explain the source of the information......," Hetty shook her head helplessly, "I can't believe that we would have to worry about them sometimes." ”

"This is what I said a long time ago, in the face of some disasters, mortals know no borders, natural disasters will not tell you about nationality and race, nor do they care about your ideas and beliefs, in the face of the tide, mortals are community," Gawain glanced at Hetty, thought as he spoke, and then said as if thoughtfully, "I still have to find a way to make some reminders...... It's just a little more circuitous......"

……

A cold wind blew through the frequency shield over Talrond, but the dragon kingdom was still warm as spring under the cold wind.

In the city of Argondol, the headquarters of the Tallund Council, the inner medical center, Melita Pernia in the form of a dragon slowly opened her eyes.

She was on a circular mechanical platform, the bright lights shining down from above, making it as bright as day, and the large number of robotic arms and observation probes around the platform were still busy putting the finishing touches, and as the dragon in the center of the platform opened its eyes, the busy machines also completed their tasks one by one and began to quietly retreat.

A figure in a white dress walked out of the shadows not far from the platform, walked slowly to Melita, tilted her head and said casually, "Are you awake?" We've cured you of your 'three hearts in the field'......"

"Don't make such a sad joke in front of a broken-hearted dragon," Melita muttered weakly, her voice rumbling, "Ahh......h

Norreta shrugged, "The after-effects of overdosing on the 'Great Wave' Synergist, but don't worry, I've injected you with a relieving 'Ash' Booster, which should take effect in a few minutes." ”

"Hey...... Synergist overdose, treat with synergist, then treat synergist overdose, treat with therapeutic treatment synergist overdose synergist ......" Melita couldn't help but mutter, "I don't feel like I have much blood in my veins, except for the symbiote oil, which is the synergist......"

"Almost, when you were sent over, the blood system was seriously polluted - one of the three blasted hearts had a pressure coupling reaction, leaking out a large amount of toxic substances, and we had to replace the blood in your whole body, for safety reasons, when we transfused new blood, we only gave you a little transfusion above the safety line, to prevent your three new hearts from being too stressed and broken......"

Melita listened to her friend's words in a daze, and suddenly her head slammed into the platform, and she shouted in frustration: "I'm still dead......

"Don't complain - do you know how much work it takes to fix your parts?" Noretta immediately glared at Melita, "The cost of the replacement parts alone is enough for your salary for a whole year!" ”

There is no doubt that this sentence immediately caused a far more terrible blow to Miss Blue Dragon, who was in a low mood, than a burst of heart - when the word "salary" entered her ears, Melita felt that her heart that had just been replaced was on the verge of exploding again, and her voice trembled: "I...... May I ask...... How much money will I have to deduct for this replacement......"

Noretta raised her eyelids and glanced at her friend, deliberately not speaking for a few seconds, as if admiring Melita's tangled and panicked expression, until the other party could spit out at any moment, and then she said unhurriedly: "Put your heart back - you don't have to pay for it." And not only that, you should also have a small subsidy, which is not much, but it is enough for you to replenish the synergist consumed by this mission and still have a balance. ”

At this moment, Melita seemed to can't believe her ears: "...... Yes?! You didn't lie to me, did you? Whole...... Reimbursed in full? There is even an additional subsidy? Why? ”

"The top of the jury considers that the loss of your mission is exceptional, first of all, a force majeure, and secondly, it has also brought some special ...... to Tallund benefits," Norreta explained, "in short, your conversation with Gawain Cecil brought us something that we had been waiting for. Therefore, the jury decided to give you an additional subsidy.

"In addition, this subsidy is not a one-time payment, and if you suffer a loss due to a similar task in the future, there will still be a full reimbursement and additional allowance......"

Melita seemed to be living in a dream for a moment, she tried to resist the temptation of money, but the next second she showed the true nature of the dragon and bowed her head to life, she had some expectations, but inevitably asked with some confusion: "What about the name of the subsidy?" Where do I go to find out what I earn? ”

Norreta thought for a moment and said casually, "Since this is a cost incurred after you talked to Gawain Cecil, Speaker Andal has added a new entry for you to receive - phone bills. ”
