Chapter 54: A Letter from Far Away

The countess's magic was not strong enough to take the two of them through the poisonous wilderness overnight, and after they left the forest, they changed their means of transportation, and the airship that had been unusable due to the obstruction of divine power could finally come in handy.

They flew in the sky day and night toward the south, rested at night, and spent the day rummaging through the materials on the deck, hoping to find a clue about the Messiah.

The Countess's database is probably the largest private library in the world, and although it is not as large as the archives of the Holy See, there are many materials, but it is still extremely difficult to find useful things in them.

The Messiah, as early as more than a thousand years ago, when the stonemasons were canonized as gods, believed that the end of this world would come, that would be to sweep away evil, reward piety, and raise the new world from the ruins of the old world.

There is an entire chapter in the papal canon describing the Messiah with great grandeur, and although the language is plain, the end of the world and the rebirth still have the highest sense of epicness.

For a long time, however, this detailed and well-organized account was widely regarded as a mere conjecture of Scientology's intimidation of believers.

Even now, when science is certain that the Messiah is coming to the only true God, Magellan still believes that it is a simple threat.

"If you don't believe in science, you will go to hell. ”

Magellan couldn't help but laugh.

It is precisely because those descriptions are so contagious and magnificent, and the contrast is particularly strong, that people can't help but laugh out loud.

Yes, if we are convinced that the Messiah will not come, then this chapter of Revelation is a mere threat. ”

The countess did not laugh because of a very simple reality: the Messiah would come.

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...... Magellan didn't find any useful information, he lazily read a few words in a large number of records, and felt more boredom in his heart, "It's rare not to be an angel." ”

Throwing down his book, Magellan walked to the side of the boat and looked out at the earth below.

The body poison has been reduced to ruins.

The rebellion against the High God has caused all the creatures of the land ruled by the gods to leave their homeland, including mortals and brahmins, and even beasts and birds.

The only people who remained at home were the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who were about to starve to death, but still unwilling to go to the temple to get food because of their piety, it was a foreseeable famine.

"First war," Magellan found ironic, "and then famine, plague and death, and the end of the world, and all who believed in the gods would fall to this fate." ”

"There's nothing new under the sun. ”

The countess was flipping through the scriptures that recorded the words and deeds of the students, and casually read a sentence in front of her.

"Science makes the Messiah, it is his instinct, the necessity that sustains his existence itself, but why is there such a concrete description of such an extremely abstract thing?"

What Magellan really wants to say is a question: Is every sentence of the seemingly detailed description symbolic and suggestive?

"Science itself is just a symbol, so what has it actually become?"

Science is science, and although it is a concept, it is a symbol, but it is indeed a real being that can be seen, and it is the same as the description full of symbols.

"So we first have to face the four horsemen who brought disaster when the four seals are opened, and after defeating them, we can avoid some trouble, and then the angels, it seems that it should be a big melee, and in the end, science will end up on its own, and in the final battle, if you win, everything will be fine?"

If the countess is right, and the end of the world is like this, then what must be done to stop the Messiah is what Magellan said.

But that's a joke full of irony, it's impossible to beat science.

"Stopping the Messiah itself requires the victory over science, rightfully so?"

Magellan smiled wryly and shook his head.

He had the idea that he would be able to prevent the Messiah from coming without defeating science.

Magellan looked down at the earth, and from above, it was a desert with no people, the green of the grass and trees was everywhere, and the human village was nothing more than a scattered dirty swamp in the dense forest and meadow, and the green was full of vitality and prosperity as summer approached.

The destruction of humanity did not detract from the vitality of nature, and Magellan suddenly felt that his worries might not be of much importance.

Suddenly, he saw a figure.

"Explorer?"

He was undoubtedly not a poisonous man, he wore the gray-green clothes that had become popular after the rise of explorers, and wore a soft hat, and walked unhurriedly in the deserted wilderness.

"They're too aggressive. ”

This is already a poisonous hinterland, where the gods control everything, and they are not friendly to outsiders who have no piety to speak of.

"No, they just didn't miss a chance. ”

I don't know if I saw the airship, and the explorer looked up.

Magellan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the nonchalant smile on the rough man's face and the undisguised greed in his eyes.

"Did he know that the world was about to be destroyed, and that everything he was taking the risk of pursuing now would disappear in the new world. ”

"That's the explorer, and you've been like that before......"

The countess stood beside Magellan, looking at the explorer who walked alone in the wilderness.

"Nothing bad. ”

Magellan remembered the distant past, and he rarely remembered the past, but at this time he couldn't help but start thinking about the events of a long time ago.

However, his memories did not last long, and the countess pulled Magellan back to reality.

"The explorer was waving at us. ”

The countess could not be mistaken, the airship tilted slightly, and then fell towards the ground.

When the airship came to him, the explorer laughed insolently, and he took a wine bottle from his body and poured it hard.

"Do you know how much they promised me?"

Before the countess could say anything, the dusty man burst out laughing to himself.

"I'm rich! That's all thanks to you, and you'll live a long life!"

The explorer carefully took out a letter tightly wrapped in white paper from his pocket, handed it to the countess, and then turned and left.

He couldn't wait to claim his reward.

"The state church already knows about the return of science. ”

The countess opened the envelope and looked at it, then smiled.

"They were ready to prevent the Messiah from coming. ”

Magellan laughed along.

There was a distant trumpet sound in the distant sky, and the war between man and God was about to begin......
