Chapter 261: Prayer

"Whew." When Lin Tuo placed the last stone statue, he finally straightened up.

The clone melted into the palm of his hand, and at first glance, the ring continent in front of him was no different, even if the stone statue was extremely huge compared to the various races, it was as small as dust on the scale of the sand table.

However, when he zoomed in, he clearly saw the base stations that were "dotted" in the earth and ocean.

This scene suddenly reminded Lin Tuo of the chessboard.

Most of the "chess pieces" fall near the sapient race clusters, and logically many of them will evolve into future cities as long as there are no major migration changes in the following years.

Of course, some of them were placed in the wilderness in order to maintain their "even distribution".

"It looks like they're surprised," Lin Tuo observed the creatures on the ground with interest, "and the next thing is to wait." ”

First, they waited for them to worship the gods and evolved into early religious rituals, and second, they waited for the arrival of the "upgraded Star Sea Server".

……

And the next development is indeed going on as Lin Tuo's idea.

For a group of beings who had just come out of the cave and had just established the rudiments of society, the great and mysterious stone statues that fell from the sky undoubtedly deeply shocked their hearts.

Soon, Lin Tuo noticed that these races and tribes began to hold sacrifices around the surrounding gods, whether they were humans, elves, or orcs.

They began to clean up the environment around the idols, even building fences or stone walls to isolate them from the wilderness.

They would periodically carry "offerings" to the idol and perform a variety of bizarre rituals to express their submission and awe.

They gradually evolved their own unified names for "idols", and when they were sacrificed, they collectively shouted out, and due to geographical differences and racial barriers, they also called the idols differently.

Lin Tuo was not surprised, but just patiently observed, and when it was evening, a message came from the Moon Clan's side again:

The Xinghai server has been debugged.

……

The upgraded version of the server is much larger than the original version, and it has a new shell, which looks like a computer case at a glance.

There is a switch at the top, and the status light will light up in the open state, and when you open the buckle with specific steps, you can find that the inside is divided into two parts: left and right.

According to Aozora, this design refers to the left and right brain divisions of the Moon Clan......

The left side simulates a prayer candle, which is responsible for receiving signals from one hundred and eight base stations, reading, transforming, and accumulating spirituality.

At its core, it is a miniature version of the "Forbidden Cage", which resembles a container in the shape of a bottle of gall.

On the right side is the original "Spirit Net" module, as well as a large number of slots, which are instruments built according to the transcendent promotion system envisioned by Mount Sinai.

The core part is the "Engraving Machine", which is also connected to the base station, but because Lin Tuo has not yet written the "Spell Sequence", this part has not yet worked.

As for the energy source of the server, it was also replaced with an "ether pool", that is: a "battery" that can temporarily store ether energy, which can be used many times, and is also one of the most important inventions of the Moon Clan's alchemy civilization.

"The next thing is to try it out." Lin Tuo fiddled for a while, exhaled, and looked at the No. 5 sand table, with some anticipation.

However, it can't be run yet, because the "password" has not been written yet.

So, then Lin Tuo used his clone to run through all the enshrined gods with the stealth effect on, and visited the tribes of various races.

Because their language system is not yet mature, the role of "general language" is limited, and these people still rely on body movements to communicate information...... However, this did not affect Lin Tuo's goal.

All he had to do was observe the sacrificial rites of these primitive beings and record the pronunciation of the words they called "base stations."

The job was more troublesome than he expected, and it took a while to succeed.

When Lin Tuo retracted the clone again, the body woke up from the closed eye, and raised his hand to press the switch of the "Xinghai Server".

The indicator rune at the top of "Hum~" quickly lit up, and Lin Tuo reached into the left part, trying to touch and write the rest, and then began to recite dozens of different "titles" in a straight voice.

Next door.

In the room, Hua Xi and Hathaway were arguing with Hathaway about the design details of a courtyard of the Lishan Sword Sect, and the two of them suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of the study, listening to the muttering bytes inside, and looked at each other.

"What is Lin Tuo doing?" Hathaway asked.

Huaxi sniffed: "How do I know." ”

"Sure enough, it would be a mistake to ask you, cut, nothing." Hathaway said disgustedly.

Huaxi looked at her directly: "You can try it again?" ”

……

Five minutes later, Lin Tuo withdrew his hand and let out a long breath:

"It's finally done."

"In this way, as long as these tribes recite the corresponding name + specific content in the coverage area of the base station, it can be counted as a valid password, and what I want to do is to fulfill a few prayers once in a while, so as to deepen the concept of 'god'."

Thinking about it, Lin Tuo pressed the second button again.

As a result, a faint aura overflowed from the server and swept across the sandbox.

With the help of the sand table to shorten the distance, at this moment, the base station hidden deep inside the one hundred and eight stone statues made a slight clicking sound at the same time and began to operate.

Immediately, Lin Tuo put his hand on the corresponding area of the server again, and began to observe the changes inside, and after a while, he was pleased to see extremely faint and extremely fine points of light pouring into the sandbox out of thin air.

They were really subtle, much bleaker than the one that poured in from Earth on the night of the Night of Dreams, and there were no match for the numbers.

However, under the effect of time acceleration, the points of light accumulated over the years still converge into a thin stream of information.

Lin Tuo tried to touch them, but vaguely could sense what they were praying for, probably nothing more than drought and precipitation, food harvest, disease and pain, and so on......

Understandably, primitive people at this time probably didn't pray much.

Even if there were, they often only recited the name given to the "idol" without mentioning the specific needs, but when they did, they were mostly produced during the tribe's huge sacrificial activities.

"Sure enough! It's just that the amount of accumulation is so thin that I can't even absorb it. ”

Lin Tuo sighed with emotion and found another problem.

That is, in the environment of accelerated time, there is a large discrepancy between the "prayer" he received and the actual time of issuance.

For example, a tribe prayed for rain, but by the time Lin Tuo received this order, several years had passed in the sandbox...... That's bad.

Thinking about it, Lin Tuo raised his hand to pause the acceleration, and the surging points of light quickly became scarce.

At a glance, there were only a few sporadic ones, Lin Tuo was not disappointed, and waited quietly for a while, waiting for a new dim light to pour in, he immediately tried to read:

"The Great Mars...... Please send down the grace of God, drive out the disease, and redeem the warriors of the tribe......"

If it's a prayer candle, such a vague prayer may not be successfully converted into a spell, but for the Star Ocean server, there is no such problem.

It was originally an empty shell, and whether it could meet the requirements completely depended on Lin Tuo.

"Is it ...... disease" Lin Tuo's eyes moved, and he used the connection between the server and the base station to trace the source of this information in reverse.

Soon, he located the base station.

The sand table expanded rapidly, and with the blessing of the Eagle Eye Technique, Lin Tuo also saw the scene on the ground clearly:

Within a human tribe, people in animal skins fell to the ground, groaning in pain, or coughing in a lethargy, and some of the people who had not yet contracted the disease tried to use some herbs, but to no avail.

The elder priest of the tribe led a few people, placed the tribute in front of the idol of the tribe, and knelt down and prayed.

Lin Tuo retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, and raised his hand to throw the clone into it.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Tuo, who had opened the invisibility spell, appeared above the head of the idol.

After many years of wind and rain, the surface of this stone statue has become more and more blurred, and there is a lot more vicissitudes of life, Lin Tuo leaned down and listened to the painful moans below. groan, and suddenly slapped on the surface of the stone statue.

"Boom!"

In the next second, under the horrified gaze of that group of primitive people, the statue of the god that had been "sleeping" for countless years was bright and generous, and it was blurred with a dazzling light, which made people dare not look directly.

At the same time, Lin Tuo's figure floated down, sketching a model of the healing spell in his mind, and then threw a cloud of "healing brilliance" at those sick humans.

After about ten seconds, the "illumination technique" dissipated, and the stone statue returned to its original state.

The panicked priest carefully raised his head, turned his head to look, and saw a cry of surprise from the tribe, and one by one the patients who had been in a high fever and coma got up almost at the same time, their expressions dazed, and they felt that the pain was gradually disappearing.

Then they looked at the stone statue with more and more awe, and shouted in unison:

"Mars!"

"Mars!"

"Mars!"

……

In the northern part of the continent, in the dense forest, a forest fire is spreading rapidly, and thick black smoke rises along with the firelight.

The animals of the forest scattered in terror and fled.

In a certain elven tribe, a large group of slender and vigorous primordial elves stood by the tribe's fence with pale faces, desperately watching the wildfires in front of them getting closer and closer.

Some elves dragged their knapsacks woven from animal skins or blades of grass, but were reluctant to leave.

Suddenly, several elves wept bitterly and ran to the foot of the stone statue next to the tribe, and threw themselves on the "robe" of the statue, which was full of signs of wind and rain, and recited the words of prayer.

"Almis, omnipotent, beg you to save our homeland!"

Beside them, the rest of the elves looked at this scene blankly, and began to drag their bags in the shouts of the patriarch, lined up in line, and slowly left into the distance-

They must go, or the smoke will take their lives when the fires get closer.

And at this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded in the sky, and the huge mysterious stone statue suddenly opened a strange aura, shrouded in white light, releasing a divine aura.

Then, a torrential rain fell, extinguishing the raging wildfire.

The elves with their backpacks stopped and looked at this scene in shock, their eyes full of surprise and awe.
