Chapter 169: Pure White Space?
The days of being besieged in the gate were actually quite good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At first, seeing more and more people around the gate, the mages were still a little panicked. Everyone gathered together to discuss whether there was a way to escape from the siege. However, they soon realized that the enemy could not get in, which meant that they could not get out.
There are only three entrances and exits to the entire gate, and no matter which one they take, as long as they show their heads, they will definitely be discovered immediately. Therefore, they can only hide in the Crusade gate, and cannot make their heads.
However, after a few days, the mentality of the mages changed again.
The people outside brought in three cannons and bombarded the gate for fifteen minutes, but the whole gate had no intention of breaking it. The cannonballs hit the wall, but most of the power was dissipated by the holy light that emerged from the wall. They stayed in it, and they could only feel even a slight tremor, not even as good as the tremor of a magnitude 4 earthquake.
It was only then that the mages realized that people from outside couldn't get in at all. Suddenly, most of the panic dissipated.
They were in this terrible military fortress, and almost no one could threaten them. The gates were also well stocked, whether it was clothing, lamp oil, water, food...... Coupled with the new batch of wheat brought in by Wallis, there are only more than twenty of them, and I am afraid that they will not be able to eat it all in their lifetime.
Therefore, they simply settled down and remodeled the room in the door for the convenience of life. The chapel was converted into a dining room, the prayer room was converted into a toilet, and the conference room was converted into a magical discussion room...... No matter what, there are more than 20 of them, and their needs can be met by everything in this gate.
In this way, they spent fifteen days of immortal life here. Focus on meditation every day, come out from time to time to discuss magic, study your progress, and eat a very high quality, except for the closed environment with poor lighting and a bit stuffy, the rest of the parts are perfect.
Even, if you ask them again at this moment, some people will say, what's the good thing about going out, it's better to stay here and be angry with those church guys outside.
As for Benjamin, he didn't have a very leisurely life.
He understands how strong the Crussad gate is, but ...... There is no limit to human wisdom. He knows very well that as long as a person is determined to do something, he can always think of a way, let alone a group of people. At present, the church is only experimenting with conventional methods, and it is estimated that it will not be long before other unconventional methods will be used.
There is no need for the church to think about it, Benjamin can think of many ways to do it here - dig tunnels, find vents between the gate and the outside world, vent the gas from the outside world, and put the whole gate on the fire to roast everyone inside...... Benjamin thought that the tunnel leading to the inside of the gate might have been dug up.
He didn't feel much worried about it. Actually, he wasn't going to stay here for long, he didn't do much yet, just because he was busy sorting out what he had gained from this capture of the gate.
That's right, their "loot".
Bishops have always been stationed at the gates, and quite a few priests also live in this place. As a result, Benjamin found a number of books about magic items and magic that belonged to them. Most of them were life-saving crosses, and Benjamin took a few of them himself, and the rest was shared among everyone. As for the books related to divine arts, Benjamin naturally sorted them out.
He put the books together and spent half a day reading them all.
"Introduction to Divine Art", I have read it a long time ago, and it is of little value; "Encyclopedia of Divine Spells", just take a second look, and you should understand the enemy's skills; "Embrace the Holy Light", which talks about the affinity of the Holy Light, you can learn a little from it; "Spiritual Power Conjecture", this has to be studied carefully......
After arranging about a dozen books and explaining them to the other mages, Benjamin gave them the books to see if they could find anything interesting from them.
As for himself, he held a book called "The World of Pure Light", found a quiet room, and read it.
Why did you choose this book? Because its author is the fourth generation of Pope, the pinnacle of cultivation who uses special methods like Benjamin.
In fact, when he first saw the author's byline on the book, he thought it was fake. After all, there are still a lot of things to consider for a person of such status as the Pope, so how can he have the heart to write a book? Find someone to ghostwrite, publish a book, and make up for his own fame and reputation, this kind of thing is quite common among successful people.
However, when he turned the first page of the book and saw the first paragraph above, he realized that the book could only be pope...... Or rather, it could only have been written by someone who had opened up the space of consciousness.
The first paragraph of the book reads:
"In the process of praying, I sometimes feel like I've entered another world, no, maybe it's not accurate to use 'enter', maybe that world has entered me, I don't know. Anyway, it was a very strange place, and every time it appeared, its environment changed, and the only thing that didn't change was that it was always white, and I could feel the power to point directly at the source of the Light. ”
After reading this paragraph, Benjamin immediately thought of the pure blue world he had entered several times.
It's not that he's so sure, it's the fourth pope who describes the world, his words, his expressions, the characteristics he portrays...... All kinds of signs can make Benjamin feel very familiar. Although intellectually, he has little evidence that the pure blue world has any connection with the strange world in the book, intuitively, he thinks that the two must be inseparable.
The importance of the pure blue world is unquestionable to him. He always had the feeling that if he could truly understand the pure blue world, he would be able to crack the secrets of the magical characters.
Not to mention, nine times out of ten, the current entity of the system comes from the pure blue world. In case it grows into something very powerful, Benjamin has to understand its weaknesses, otherwise it will be the system's turn to use him as a racket.
Therefore, he decided to find a place to take a good look at the book.
After a beautiful afternoon of fine wine and pasta, Benjamin sat in the ashram of the former bishop, flipping through the pages of The Pure Light World.
Eventually, it took about two hours for him to finish the book. The book wasn't thick, and he didn't feel like it was laborious. In fact, after reading it, he realized that this was not a profound theoretical book, nor did it give any definite answers, but was more like the fourth pope's observation diary of that world.
Most of the above content, most of it is a certain year and a certain month, he suddenly entered that world, what is it like in this world, how long has he been in it, and what has changed after the result......
Those experiences were much the same. Sometimes the world was filled with runes that he couldn't understand or remember, sometimes the echoing sounds shook him out at once, and sometimes he even felt like the world itself......
Benjamin, on the other hand, had only discovered one rather peculiar experience.
That time, after the Pope entered the pure white world again, he suddenly felt that his soul was slammed by something, and an inexplicable emotion hit his heart. Unfortunately, he was soon forced to leave the pure white world, and that unknown emotion disappeared.
However, after leaving that world, he was a little stunned to find that the holy light stored in his prayer space suddenly became a little strange.
- The holy light seemed to be guided by something, and gathered into five piles, each of which was completely different in shape, and looked rather strange.
The strange phenomenon of the Holy Light did not last long, and after a minute, the Holy Light spread out in all directions and returned to its normal appearance. But fortunately, the fourth pope has a good memory and has memorized those five shapes.
After leaving the prayer space, he drew the shapes of the holy light on paper and studied them for a long time. But the shapes were so irregular, so he began to try to change his mind. Gradually, he remembered that although the shape of the third and fourth piles of holy light was much different, the amount of light seemed to be the same.
So, using this as an idea, he recalled the number of holy lights in each pile by comparing the area of each shape. It had been a while since then, so his memory was a little blurry. However, in the end, he came up with a string of numbers to represent the difference between the five piles of light.
He wrote down the numbers in the book.
