Magellan faced the countess with a serious face, still acting as a guard who didn't care about the content of the conversation, patiently waiting for the twins to ask him what he really wanted to know. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The man gradually relaxed, and the company of the village shepherd boy made him feel a lot less scruples, and with Miss Betty's timely pink attack, the conversation was completely controlled by the little angel.

Finally, the villagers told the oldest legend.

"Science really began guiding our ancestor with pillars of cloud and fire, when he had just experienced a glorious victory...... At that time the pharaoh of Emanchet was extremely weak, and the sun god had just been murdered, so it was a great shame for the gods of Emunchet for science to enter Emanchet and leave with our ancestors of Judah. ”

"But science has also been greatly affected, in fact, the real reason for the appearance of the cloud pillar and the pillar of fire is that the power of science is out of control and the divine power is leaking. Then suddenly one day, when the ancestors came to this oasis, here, science disappeared. The pillars of cloud and fire were gone, and the ancestors were very flustered, but the Great Prophet calmed them. ”

"The prophet knew that science was not going away, but there was no doubt that something was going on. Then he thought of the legend he had heard of that the miraculous herbs that would allow humans to see the gods. Perhaps it was the will of science, and the Prophet found a mushroom in this oasis and brought back science through this miraculous herb. ”

"The god was sitting at the zenith of heaven, and he was very happy, even overjoyed, that science promised the prophet to continue to guide the ancestors with miracles in this escape, and the prophet promised the god something else. ”

"No one knows what the Prophet promised science, because the Prophet has accomplished many great things that have never been done before, but at least we know that the Prophet promised Science to collect that magic mushroom. ”

The story of the villagers comes to an abrupt end here, and although everyone tries to continue, their accounts are completely different and not credible.

So the labyrinth finally gets into the really complicated part, and the twins know that this is not enough to satisfy the countess, so the conversation continues, but it slides hopelessly into the abyss of boredom.

For the villagers, the twins are curious to know something interesting, but in reality they want something less interesting but useful.

So the countess had no choice but to go out herself, and let a learned but naïve princess continue to ask questions.

The man was still patient and at ease, and whatever the countess wanted to know, he would give an answer.

Magellan continued to stand in the background, but he was already sure that the villagers would tell everything they knew for gold. This is a rare "gift", and there is no doubt that this village did belong to the famous people of Judah.

Finally, useful information began to appear.

The village had been supplying the priests of science with that magic mushroom for a long time after the expedition ended, but when the country of Judah was invaded, the tribute stopped. However, the collection of magical mushrooms did not stop because of this, and the priest who remained in the oasis asked the villagers to continue the work and began to train apprentices.

This is where the story ends, followed by sporadic words and various traditions.

This is mostly systematic and rigorous, but there is no reason for the requirement, it contains some internal logic, but it is completely contrary to common sense.

For most people, it's an inexplicable mess, but for Magellan, who knows what he's looking for, it's just a mountain trail to climb.

The villagers chose the center of the oasis away from the water source, and the villagers did not leave for hundreds of years, the reason was to control this hallucinogenic mushroom, and in their customs, the relationship between the mushroom and the illusion it creates and science is at the center of everything.

Everything is in the countess's hands, and she uses all kinds of subtle details to make the villagers say what she wants to hear, like a conductor of a symphony orchestra.

Towards the end of the movement, and the countess had enough information, Magellan appeared at the right time and sprinkled a handful of gems on the table.

"Take my host and nobles to the village to see what is new. ”

The man smiled and grabbed a handful of gems from the table, and the villagers around him quietly divided the rest, then they got up and walked to the door: "In our tradition, lavish houses are pure waste, but there is an altar of science in the village, and that may please the adults." ”

Magellan nodded, walked through the low door, and walked out of the house.

The so-called altar is an ordinary place in the middle of a dune-like house, which looks like a sand dune, but when you get closer, you can still see the basic stone structure and unique decorations.

It is a typical ancient Jewish altar, with the signature smell of blood and an empty stone platform. It seems that a sacrifice had just taken place some time ago, and the smell of blood was undoubtedly from a lamb.

The main body of the altar is this stone platform, with plain wooden cups and shriveled mushrooms on the edges, and a wreath of flowers.

This is the altar of science that strictly follows the creed, and there is nothing that can be worshiped on behalf of science, whether it is the various primitive cults of antiquity, or the existing well-developed worship of Scientology, there has never been such a unique creed.

Interestingly, just now, the villagers told the countess with great certainty that this creed was something that the Prophet had told him to follow after he had recovered the gods through mushrooms.

The countess covered her nose with her hand through the veil, and she took advantage of the opportunity to smile secretly at Magellan.

Magellan turned his head helplessly, he knew what the countess was trying to say: they were close to the final answer.

The villagers described the sacrifice to the countess in detail, and Miss Betty and the twins did not like it here, so they did not spend much time, but it was enough to finish.

In the end, the countess rejected the villagers' offer to perform a sacrifice to her, and left with Magellan with the cherubs.

"May science bless you, noble lord. ”

The villagers, who had received enough gold, did not want to say goodbye to the countess so quickly, but the sun was setting in the west, and Magellan led the camel and left the village with the countess.

At the edge of the sky, as gray as the dunes, a white dim disk approached the blurred border, casting darkness over the earth.

"And what did you find, Professor Magellan?"

"The key to be able to open a door, and behind the door ...... It's science. ”
