Chapter 176: The So-Called Balance: The Possible World is Real
Xiao Lan's face changed at this moment, and it did not escape Zheng Zha's highly concentrated attention.
After destroying all the two mummy sarcophagi in one go, he put away the sword of the flame and heard a late shout, and when he looked back, he saw the changing expression on the pseudo-priest's face.
This is definitely not because he accidentally destroyed the sarcophagus, but it should be something more involved and deeper......
Inexplicably, he also had a strange sense of unease.
"What's wrong, what's the matter?"
Xiao Lan, who heard the sound, raised her head and glanced at him with her unfocused eyes, then shook her head and said an ambiguous sentence of unknown meaning: "It's okay, at least it's okay for the time being......"
"It's just a thought of a future that hasn't happened yet, but is very likely to happen...... In this world with mysterious power, the birth of the Ark of the Covenant will definitely not be as quiet as it seems, and there is a chance that this level of supreme holy relic will be discovered once it breaks out of the seal, and considering the transportation capacity of this world in the current era, the time it takes to cross the Mediterranean Sea by ship from the Vatican, the base camp of the church, to Cairo, plus possible internal meetings and decisions, will probably come to the door in a few days. ”
With a snap, he removed the double-gun magazine in his hand that emptied the bullets again, and Xiao Lan, who replaced the bullets with a sharp movement, said something that made people feel a little strange.
"The church?" Because of his vampire identity, Zheng Zhe doesn't have a good impression of this religious organization, although Xiao Lan next to him is dressed as a Catholic priest at the moment, "They are also troublesome?" The history of this world is basically the same as the real world, and the current year of 1927 is the gap between World War I and World War II. ”
From the perspective of general thinking, if there really are very powerful cultivators and supernatural people described in novels in this world, then how can history still develop as they know?
But from the perspective of high-end thinking, this situation is entirely possible, and there is only one reason for it.
"Balance."
After making sure that there was no obstacle to the way back to the ground, Xiao Lan finally put away the pistol with the changed bullets with peace of mind, and then spit out such a word as she walked towards the exit.
"It is obvious that there are supernatural powers in this world, gods like Anubis are real, and Immorton and the Scorpion King are alive and can be seen with the eyes, so there is no reason why other ancient powers other than the Egyptian gods are false legends......"
But in fact, so far, whether it is the protection of the gods in China or the blessing of the Buddha, the developed countries that believe in the Lord have been turned into colonies to be slaughtered, and the war during this period is not by a paladin with golden light rushing into the fortress to kill the commander-in-chief, but a little bit of suppression and deprivation with real swords and guns, and there is no "movement" against colonization, and there is no immortal who steps on a flying sword to take the commander's head thousands of miles away.
But there is no doubt that these legendary powers should exist, but perhaps not as effective as they seem...... More precisely, it would not be particularly effective when you can't sing a one-man show.
Nothing beats the cannon when fighting head-on, but it's a different story when it's not head-on.
A supernatural with special abilities can easily assassinate a commander, and a psychic superpower can control a country by controlling the president - but no one will allow this to happen, especially the superpowers who want to live more comfortably with the power of the state, they will spontaneously or hiredly protect the war belonging to mortals from being easily subverted by the power of the superpowers, and at the same time, mortals themselves will also study ways to deal with superpowers, which is vividly reflected in the movie "X-Men", " The U.S. government in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hitler, the Nazis, and later the Soviet Union are all studying various mysterious forces.
“…… This is also known as equilibrium, which is described in many novels as the balance between the two worlds of "surface" and "inside", and we have not yet been officially noticed by the world or encountered with large-scale armies, and once the overly eye-catching use of the power beyond the times, those who maintain the balance are probably going to run out.
In fact, the so-called destruction of the world by Immorton and the Scorpion King should be just talking, in the original plot, even if they were not stopped by the protagonist, there would be other people who could stop it, but the price paid was different, and there were many legends that could destroy the world, but that one succeeded? ”
"As for the strength of the church...... Immorton and the Scorpion King, the two holders of the power of Anubis, claim to be able to destroy the world, and the Lord has beaten the Egyptian gods, the Roman and Greek gods, etc., to the third class of cripples, so it is not too strange that the church can summon an angel to come down to earth~"
ended the speculation about the hidden power of this world with a nasal voice that dragged a strange voice, and Xiao Lan, who happened to walk to the end of the passage, raised his foot and kicked the brick wall that was not very strong.
"Boom."
The earthen wall, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, simply fell down, and after Zheng Zhe, who was also depressed in his heart, also walked out, this special escape passage collapsed like the secret room inside, burying all the secrets inside under the yellow sand.
And under the night sky and moonlight that he saw again, Xiao Lan, who had breathed a breath of fresh air, exhaled lightly, and after a pause, he seemed to think of something again, and he continued to open in Zheng Zha's slightly twitching eyes......
“…… I have a rough idea of why the quest to get the Ark of the Covenant is only C-grade. ”
Such a sentence suddenly made Zheng Zha, who was a little entangled, a little more energetic.
"Getting the Ark of the Covenant is not the end but a new beginning, and continuing to have it is a hidden task that is not explained or rewarded...... The level is about B or A.,If you hide somewhere, it's estimated that nine out of ten will be found and taken away by others.,If you hold the Ark of the Covenant, you'll be watched by the Catholic Church in this world.,If we're not demons and vampires, maybe we'll be co-opted.,But now it's estimated that meeting is a never-ending situation.。
And because it is the Ark of the Covenant, a supreme holy object that is more noble than the Holy Grail in Jesus' Last Supper, it is unlikely that they will have the highest power at the beginning, but they will not send rookies over, but even the highest power will not reach the level where it can ignore the army, otherwise the war mode of warships and cannons will really be rewritten into a direct confrontation of mass destruction magic. ”
br>
And as he was talking like this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Lan's face.
"It is impossible to estimate exactly what their specific strength will be when they arrive, but it seems that it will not be us who will bump into them first~ If there is no accident, when they arrive in Cairo first, these people will first bump into Immorton who is about to conquer the world - it is just a matter of pretending to be out of sight, but since they have seen it with their own eyes and there are people watching on the side, how can the duty of expelling evil also fight first...... Is this a disaster for pond fish? ”
“……”
Regarding the focus of this sudden jump, Zheng Zha, whose expression was a little numb, had nothing to say at all.
This is simply a standard pit teammate, or unconsciously let people take the initiative to step into it...... But even if he knew about it, he didn't stop it.
At that time, Immorton should have "just regained his full strength", and "accidentally" was recaptured by him the super killer of the Undead Black Sutra, in that case, if the five newcomers and Chu Xuan still had no way to protect themselves, would they still be worthy of staying in this demon team?
In addition, what Xiao Lan said next was what he was really interested in.
"That's basically the trouble that will be caused by taking over the Ark of the Covenant, and then the value of the Ark of the Covenant can be assessed for the time being......"
Almost all of the Bible's accounts of the Ark of the Covenant focus on its great power, such as the razing of mountains, the destruction of armies, the extermination of cities, and so on. In the conquest of Jericho, the Hebrews carried the ark of the covenant and blew the ram's horns, and the walls were immediately blown down, and Jericho was easily captured.
This principle is still relatively easy to guess, it is nothing more than the energy collected into a massive attack, nine out of nine energy is the so-called power of faith, the attack method according to the description in the Bible contains thunder and lightning, jī light, shock waves, etc., look at the description effect is basically a nuclear bomb level of the city-level mass destruction weapon.
As for the effect described by Xiao Lan, Zheng Zha showed an interested concern.
"Sounds amazing, it's definitely a good weapon if it can be used, why don't you try it out when you can "purify" Cairo?"
"No......" Xiao Lan shook her head very simply in response to such an answer, "If I were a legitimate priest who believes in Jesus, then I might try it, but now...... Forget it. ”
According to the Bible, only priests were allowed to approach the Ark of the Covenant, ordinary people would die if they came near because of their sins, and the Ark of the Covenant did not always bring good luck to its owner.
In 1050 B.C., the Felix defeated the Hebrews, took possession of the Ark of the Covenant, and brought it back to their city of Ekron. Soon, however, the artifact was painful to the people of Felix. They put the Ark of the Covenant in the temple, only to find the head and hands of Felix's idol "the dragon" missing the next day! And the people of Ekoron were stricken with terrible leprosy, and the painful plague did not cease until they returned the Ark to the Hebrews.
Judging from this case, the Ark of the Covenant also has some kind of automatic identification system, and has a special ability that cannot be described in exact language for the time being, but this ability should only have an effect if the Ark of the Covenant has been opened, and the people who have come into contact with the Ark of the Covenant in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1: The Ark of the Law" did not happen to either the Nazi officers or Jones, until the Ark of the Covenant was opened, and a thunderbolt appeared to kill all the "guilty" people of the Nazi officers.
“…… However, no matter how this "guilty" is determined, it is unlikely that a vampire and a demon will be counted as "innocent", and it will be very troublesome for us to open the Ark of the Covenant rashly. But just when Zheng Zhe frowned because of this sentence, Xiao Lan added an appetizing sentence very timely and said, "But don't worry, I have already thought of a time that can be the most suitable time to open the box, as for what it is, I will keep it secret for the time being." ”
"And before that, let's go and complete the "purification" of the city!"
