Chapter 71: Viruses
Outside the temple door of Abitos, the red flames that burned on the walls during the expedition were now white.
Shen Xi knocked on the door for a long time, but still didn't open the door. This not only made Shen Xi a little worried-shouldn't the mentor run away to deny the contract?
"I have a feeling that you may be thinking something very rude. Augustus patted Shen Xi on the shoulder, "Don't you know that the mentor has gone to debrief?"
"Haven't heard of it. Shen Xi hugged Augustus in a friendly way, and his ribs hurt a little from the hard armor. "How long will the mentor go?"
Augustus took off his helmet like a player on a basketball court who had finished the game, holding the basketball between his arms and ribs, "It's hard to say. This time things are a little tricky. The two temples of time and space still haven't figured out where the barbarian god infected the shadow void. And those of Lord Geria and Lord Farrant...... Those...... Uh, okay. Those disputes. The Temple of the Gods may still need further clarification from the Mentor, so the time will certainly not be too short. β
The Temple of the Gods must be a troublesome thing anyway. Shen Xi is very mentally prepared for this, after all, it is also a large-scale organization with a long history. In Shen Xi's view, this kind of organization must have some organizational rigidity and bureaucratic problems - after all, the mentor is quite afraid of the investigator, and I am afraid that he has suffered a lot from bureaucracy.
But in this way, no one can help solve those small troubles in his original world. Shen Xi sighed in distress, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "Senior brother, have you opened up a sect in my original world?"
"Oh, you say Gaia?" Augustus scratched his head, "there used to be sects that believed in me. But then something went wrong over there, so we evacuated the believers to other planets. β
"Why?" Shen Xi was secretly startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's not a big deal. The main thing is that it's a little tricky. Augustus sighed, "The Gaian civilization is relatively young, and it has a special location. There are no other civilized planets within 2,000 light years around it, and we thought we would be able to assist in the development of Planet Gaia during the missionary process, but later we found out that Gaia has been designated as a protected area by other higher civilizations. β
Conservation and management area?Shen Xi pondered for a moment, could it be that the compatriots on Gaia were all raised like wild animals?"What kind of civilization is so powerful?
"Speaking of which, hasn't Panakaya given you a foreign exchange course yet?" Augustus motioned for Shen Xi to follow him, and then led him into his temple. The Temple of Augustus was a beautiful white manor. In addition to the green lawn as thick as a velvet carpet, there is also a training ground that is almost the size of the National Gymnasium.
"Yes. Panakaya had only told me the basics. As a result, before he could take other classes, he ran into problems with Prometheus. Shen Xi also looked a little helpless, he followed Augustus into the main building of the manor, "Recently, I found out that the contract signed between the mentor and me has not fully taken effect, and there are still people in the Gaia world who remember my existence. I'm having a headache right now. β
"What's wrong with the contract?" Augustus looked familiar with the mentor's abduction methods, he walked to the living room with Shen Xi and sat down, and asked with concern, "Your wish has not been fully fulfilled?"
"It should only be partially realized, and there are hidden dangers. Shen Xi told Liu Ban as he was, "If someone else remembers me, forget it, but Liu Ban's identity is very troublesome." I'm lucky, though, that Sophia's Vicarator Saint happens to be nearby. Together with my servant, she subdued Liu and is now trying to turn him into my Pope in Gaia. β
"You're in luck. Augustus grinned and handed Shen Xi a glass of amber wine, "But you have to be careful that you have to keep a low profile when you run a sect in Gaia. β
"What did you mean when you said before that Gaia was designated as a protected area by other civilizations?" Shen Xi sniffed the wine in the glass, and a sweet aroma unique to honey came to his nose. "This civilization is very big?"
Augustus swallowed the wine in his glass and said with a smile, "It's not a particularly good opponent either." They are the Wendu people, the first intelligent race to appear in the C173 world. He is also the eldest son of his mentor. β
The Wendu people are the oldest intelligent race in the C173 world. At the same time, it is also the most civilized. They were the first to become followers of Abitos, developed a civilization to explore the stars, and were also the first race to rebel against the gods.
"Rebel against the gods?" Shen Xi almost squirted the wine out of his mouth, "The mentor doesn't have a problem with this at all?"
Augustus waved his hand, "Don't get excited. This kind of thing is common. Some civilizations are structured to be suitable for the worship of gods, while others are not. Moreover, they simply believe that God does not exist, but the faith is still circulating in their civilization. Moreover, it was not only the Wendu people who believed in the Guru, so the Guru went with them. β
God should play the most active role in the development of a civilization. He should be the booster of the development of civilization, the backing and protector of civilization. But when it's time to let go, God will not hesitate to let go of his arms and watch these children stagger with loving eyes and begin to slowly explore the world.
"Wendu people are developing very well at present. Augustus continued to tell the story, "They established their own zone of control in a wide space. It also advocates the system of natural developmentβthat is, the system in which civilization itself develops freely without the interference of foreign civilizations and gods. β
"Let's be reasonable, for the sake of the mentor's face, it's a big deal to walk around the Wendu people. Shen Xi asked curiously, "What if you meet a barbarian god who is quite unreasonable?"
"Those Wendu people are not good stubble. Augustus spread his hands helplessly, "They have disposed of far more barbarian gods than we have cleaned up." β
In the long-term development, the Wendu people began to master the technical means of modifying the law. They are able to modify certain laws or physical constants in a specific region in a short period of time, thus inducing the disintegration of matter. After having this kind of cheating-level technical ability, in the face of the barbarian god who has no special skills and basically only relies on instinct and brute force, the Wendu people can be said to have taken advantage of it in battle.
"The tutor was very satisfied with this. After all, after the barbarian god is killed, the godhead will reappear in the teacher's temple. It doesn't take much effort to rerecruit new trainee gods, and it's also beneficial to the strategy of the Temple of the Gods. Augustus solemnly instructed, "You must keep a low profile in your actions in Gaia, and especially avoid the use of large-scale miracles." Once you're spotted by the Wendu, you'll have to run immediately. If they are regarded as a barbarian god, you will not even have a chance to explain, and then you will be killed directly. β
Shen Xi thanked Augustus and left the manor with a somewhat uneasy heart.
I can't confirm the contract with my mentor for the time being, and I also learned about new enemies...... There are more and more troublesome things. Shen Xi, who was in a worse and worse mood, walked into the public temple area, looked carefully at the bulletin board, and after confirming that there was no special news, he walked under a huge oak tree.
The oak tree itself is hollow, with plain windows carved out of the trunk. A normal-sized door opened at the base of the tree, and a sign reading "Temple of Life Agency" hung on it.
Pushing open the door, Shen Xi stepped into the trunk of the oak tree. In front of him is an ordinary office counter, and behind the counter, there is an elf who is sleeping with his eyes closed.
"Hello, I have a commission. Shen Xi stepped forward and clasped the counter with his hand.
The elves are still sleeping.
"Wake up!" Shen Xi knocked on the counter with more strength, "There's business coming to the door!"
The elf's ears twitched a few times, but it still didn't wake up.
He was already depressed by a bunch of things, but Shen Xi was really angry now, and he took out the resonant long-distance sonic transmitter from his personal space. Adjust the target to the oak around the elf, twist the power directly to the maximum, and after pressing the switch, Shen Xi shouted in an almost angry volume, "Get up!!
Powerful sound waves rippled and even distorted the light, and the loud sound made the entire oak tree tremble as if it had come to life.
The elf jumped out of the comfortable sofa with a frightened face, clutched his head, and cried out, "What's the matter?
"If you keep sleeping, I'll make sure you'll have a good chat with those big dragonflies all day. Shen Xi said angrily, "You sleep in the store during the day, and that's how Panakaya told you to work?"
The elf looked ashamed, "My lord...... Our Lord is merciful. β
"The kindness of the gods you serve is not a reason for you to live up to her trust and be lazy here!" Shen Xi snorted, but didn't say much for Panakaya's sake, "I have a commission. β
The elf quickly got up from the ground, "You say. β
"The liquid in this thing could be some kind of creature. Shen Xi took out the metal test tube from his pocket, "How long will it take you to figure out what's inside?"
"It's simple. The elf let out a relaxed sigh and smiled flatteringly, "Please wait a moment in the seat next to you." β
It wasn't long before the elf came out with a strange expression on his face. "This ...... My lord. The result of your commission is out. β
"What's inside?" Shen Xi asked, standing up.
"According to the results of the divine investigation, this is a special virus. The elf looked at Shen Xi with strange eyes, "Although this is not something I should say, I still have to advise you." This virus is too dangerous to mortals, and if you are trying to punish your own believers, I advise you not to use it - before your followers realize that this is divine punishment, I am afraid that they will all die. β
