Chapter 265: Rumors spread
"Xiaoqiao, turn on the lights." Cheng Shi said casually, but this time it was not the lights of those glowing crystal pillars in Crystal City that were turned on.
Three dim yellow lights shot out from the bottom of Kate's Eagle spacecraft in an instant, and the three pillars of light shone on the owl beast, the giant Oldman, and the idol respectively.
The people in the square saw the unknown creatures on both sides of the idol, and instantly fell into an even greater panic.
"Oh my God, what's that? Is it a divine beast sent by the Goddess from Heaven to destroy us? ”
"Is that a giant? Is he a guardian of the Goddess? Did he come down to punish us? What exactly are we doing wrong? ”
……
The central square had descended into even more complete chaos, with cries, cries of atonement, and prayers intertwined, but none of them tried to get close to the "beasts" on either side of the idol.
Cheng Shi was not worried about the chaos in the central square, but this was exactly what he wanted to see, because the more chaotic it was at this time, the greater the commotion, and the faster the rumors of the God's teachings would spread.
After Barbara received Cheng Shi's order, it only took half a minute to carry North to the sky in the center of the square. The little mermaid summoned a magical water ball, which smashed directly into the bottom of the Kate Eagle's ship, and the ball burst the moment it touched the ship, followed by a burst of mist falling from the sky.
According to Cheng Shi's plan, after North threw the first water ball, Barbara would send her back to the surface, and her next task was to create a larger water mist barrier on the ground in order to maintain the mysterious scene around the idol for a long time.
After Barbara sent the little mermaid back to the surface, she began to fly upwards slowly, and Kayla's disintegrated swarm of bats surrounded her, flying upwards in unison.
"The goddess has descended! The goddess has descended! A man cried out hoarsely.
"It is our piety that infects the Goddess, and she herself has come to earth to teach us, so we should be quiet, pray with our hearts, and accept the guidance of the Goddess, and she will not come down to punish us." A believer with a voice full of vicissitudes exclaimed.
……
Just as the people in the center of the square were discussing fiercely, a grand and majestic voice rolled down from the sky.
"Great people of the Valkyries, I am the Priest of Crewe, the most loyal guardian of the Valkyries, it is your piety that has moved our gods, and now she herself appears to take care of her people......"
After the grand sound swept through the square, almost instantly, the whole square fell into a dead silence. After a few moments, the crowd began to try to shift their eyes to Oldman, who was standing to the right of the idol.
I saw the giant Oldman clasping his hands on his chest, looking straight ahead, like a guardian.
"People, I am the creator of your world, you are all my children, and I will protect you forever......"
"People, I have nothing to ask of you, but sincere prayer is the best reward for me......"
"All artifacts are nothing, I have never left any artifacts in this world, all artifacts are nothing......"
Barbara's figure always loomed in the mist barrier created by North, and since she didn't have a huge body and her voice didn't change in any way after she transformed, she didn't say a word the whole time.
And the sound above was made by the owl giant beast on its behalf, and although the mouth of the Yangyang beast was very small, the sound was surprising
Under the interference of the information bridge to the sound waves, the source of this sound pointed to the statue in the center of the square, and Barbara's figure was floating up and down directly above the statue at this time.
The people in the square heard the teachings of the goddess with their own ears, and they all wept with gratitude, and they fell to the ground, bowing their heads and bowing in worship, and no one dared to look up at the center of the square.
"Almost, withdraw!" Cheng Shi said in the communication channel.
According to the previous plan, at this time, the information bridge will adjust the color of the three pillars of light shooting from the bottom of the spaceship, slowly changing from dark yellow to pale white, and then gradually dimming. North, on the other hand, will instantly increase the height and width of the Mist Enchantment, covering Yang Yang and Oldman to retreat after retracting their transformations.
When the group returned to the hotel where they were staying, the glowing crystal pillars of the Crystal City were all lit up again in an instant. The people in the square were still on their knees and praying the most devout prayers to the idol in the center of the square, and no one even cared about the restoration of the light in Crystal City, as if it were all taken for granted.
"Oh God! Thank you for your long shelter and for bringing the light back to the world. An old man with gray hair spoke silently and reverently.
"The true God has appeared, I have heard the teachings of God, I have heard the teachings of God!" A young woman, nervous, shouted as she ran.
"I will go home and tell my wife and children that I have witnessed the coming of the true God and heard the teachings of God with my own ears, and that the true God has been watching over us." A young man's face was filled with happiness and he muttered to himself.
The square was boiling again, and almost everyone was reveling with more joy than the biggest festival in the world.
"All artifacts are nothing? Why did Valkyrie say this? Do you hear that? Passerby A pondered and asked Passerby B beside him.
"Are the teachings of God something that mortals like me can easily comprehend?" Passerby B said disdainfully.
"Of course I don't dare to read the teachings of the gods casually," explained Passerby A, "have you read the teachings given to us by the priests?" The doctrine says that there are artifacts in our world, haven't you seen it? ”
Passerby B suddenly chuckled in his heart, and then said, "Of course I saw it, but ...... Aren't all teachings written in the teachings of the goddess? We shouldn't have any doubts about that. ”
Passerby A shook his head: "But now that the goddess herself said that there is no artifact at all, many people have heard it, and I believe what the goddess said herself." ”
Hearing this, passer-by Yi immediately looked nervous: "You actually said such a big rebellious thing, hurry up and stay away from me, what does it mean to be more willing to believe what God said himself, God's teachings are indisputable." With that, he walked away on his own.
"Of course, I believe that there is no doubt about the teachings of God, but what about the artifacts mentioned in the teachings?" Passerby A walked up to Passerby B and asked unrelentingly.
"It's all true, and there's no doubt about it." Passerby B's tone was obviously a little duplicitous, but in fact, he was very conflicted, and he didn't know how to explain what the artifact mentioned in the doctrine was.
Discussions similar to those between Passerby A and Passerby B were common among the crowd dispersed from the central plaza of Crystal City, and many of them preferred to believe the teachings of the gods they had heard, and a wave of questioning of the teachings was already spreading.
Although there is no sunrise and sunset in Crystal City, people have long been accustomed to following 22 per day
hours to arrange their work and life. The day passed quickly, and it was seven o'clock in the afternoon.
In the underground laboratory of Crystal City, Karel is sitting and praying in a dark room. With a slight knock on the door, he slowly opened his eyes and said casually, "Please come in." ”
Pushing the door in was one of his young male elf assistants: "Elder, the data is out, not very optimistic." ”
The male elf whispered, and handed Karel a piece of paper in his hand.
"I see, you can get out." Karel took the piece of paper and said slowly.
The elf left the room silently and closed the door softly.
Karel glanced blankly at the piece of paper in his hand, which then turned to ashes in his hand.
"I think I've done it all, why did you do it so quickly? Do you already know everything, this is impossible? Could it be that the 321 you took with you has a complete memory from beginning to end? It can't be, it's impossible, there can be no problem with the human modification cabin I personally designed, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of our two seasons of civilization. Number 321 is a pure-blooded descendant of those modified people, which has long been confirmed, and even if he has a complete memory, he should not betray his people. What went wrong? Karel thought secretly, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion on his face, but his heart was already turbulent.
All artifacts are nothing, this is the most important sentence that the goddess said after her apparition. Because it refers directly to the ancient artifacts that are emphasized many times in the teachings. The doctrine clearly states that the ancient artifact is a gift from the Valkyrie to her people, as long as you lie in it, you can not only listen to the teachings of the Valkyrie, but also remove all the ailments on your body, and you can even obtain endless ancient knowledge without studying, which is a good thing that many people can't ask for.
But now that the goddess has indeed appeared in person, pointing out that the so-called ancient artifact does not exist at all, who should be believed? What you hear with your own ears is always more credible, but it was said by the Valkyrie herself, and it can't be fake.
In just one day, a wave of thought that questioned the doctrine had spread throughout Crystal City, and the priests could not find a suitable reason to defend it. In the midst of this questioning, many people have begun to shy away from the so-called ancient artifacts, which directly affects Karel's overall transformation plan.
"Landlord, North and I have found out in the tavern that many people are discussing the ancient artifacts mentioned in the doctrine. We also found another problem, all the people in the tavern claimed to have heard the Valkyrie's teachings and saw the Crewe Priest, what was going on? Yang Yang followed Cheng Shi's instructions and said suspiciously after taking North and Kayla out to find out the information.
Cheng Shi smiled: "Bragging, hearing the teachings of the Valkyrie with your own ears, what a glorious thing it is, no one wants to be an audience forever." ”
"Aren't those words from me?" Yang Yang said proudly.
"What I heard was even more exaggerated, they told me so many versions of my story that I wanted to laugh when I heard it. But there are many people among you who have already questioned the doctrine, and our action has been fruitful. Oldman said with a smile.
Cheng Shi nodded: "Well, this is the first day, I didn't expect the rumors to spread so quickly, it seems that we have to plan the next move." ”
Barbara and Carl were too inconvenient to go out to find out about the situation due to their special status, so the two of them could only stay in the hotel. When they heard this information, they also showed relieved expressions.
