Chapter 24: The Wind Rises

Without believers, the gods will perish.

It's something that everyone knows, but no one has ever actually done it.

Science has the religion with the largest number of believers in the world, and the Holy See has experienced numerous turmoil and even split into three parts, but all believers, no matter how serious the differences between them, still believe in science in the end.

"That plan has already begun. ”

"Are you really not afraid of science knowing?"

......

Science sits high at the apex of endless light, watching the Holy See advance his plans step by step.

For the gods, his vision is the collection of what the believer sees, omniscience, which is not some exaggerated sycophancy, but a fact.

So for this god, there are no secrets in the world.

Countless believers kneel on the clear glass sea and bow down to the One Being, who is a dead believer, a part of God.

"Let's start preaching. ”

The voices of the four angels are like thunder, spreading the voice of the Lord to all directions, and the pure souls rejoice from the bottom of their hearts, and the sound is like a sea of splendor.

Science overlooks all this, and the eagerness to win rises again in its heart.

The side that knows it will win always wants to start the war sooner.

But the time has not yet come.

Breaking new ground is a big undertaking that requires a lot of patience and meticulousness, and it's worth it.

For now, let those who think they can influence the world weave a conspiracy.

......

Magellan spent a beautiful afternoon with old friends doing nothing, and Mrs. Hudson quickly became familiar with the kitchen and cleaned up the room for the three new tenants, while she chose a downstairs room for herself.

Arthur's residence was also destroyed, but he didn't care, he was about to leave Brittany with Magellan and embark on a trip to the Holy Loren Empire.

While Mrs. Hudson was away, Magellan explained to the three gentlemen what he was doing. Nidhogg's presence is enough to prove the existence of the gods of Esyad, who were important allies when science turned on the Messiah.

And all Magellan had to do was find them and make an alliance.

"The first step is to find the place where the gods live, and that conch is an important clue. ”

"That sounds like you're good at. Dr. Watson was not afraid of war, and his composure was beyond everyone's expectations, "Why don't you take the countess with you?"

The Countess was a patron of the Royal Society, a researcher of mythology, and a friend of Magellan's, and if this was a trip that had to be successful, there was no reason why Magellan should not join her.

"She has other more important things. ”

Magellan didn't say much, and while it didn't make sense to keep the science secret, what the countess had to do was too cumbersome to explain.

It was a plan of destruction of concepts and beliefs, and the countess wanted to destroy science itself.

......

Three days later, the square in front of the Ruidu Palace.

It was the Emperor's farewell to the Morning Star, a grand celebration that Magellan was glad he was able to hide in a corner.

Magellan's itinerary changed temporarily, and the King of the World wanted to see him, so he would take him with him when he returned to Franci's Eagle's Nest.

Arthur had already set off ahead of schedule, and the bounty hunter had his own professional network, and he should be able to reach the Holy Loren Empire before Magellan left the summer palace of the King of Worlds.

The final ceremony was over, and the Eagle's Nest was the final culmination, after which the Emperor returned to the palace and the enthusiastic citizens slowly dispersed.

Magellan met the Morning Star, who had invited him, in the captain's room, and while at the Eagle's Nest, the messenger finally regained her military nature, wearing a military uniform and standing tall like a pine tree.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation. ”

It's a neat room, everything is well organized, but there are still one or two unobtrusive dΓ©cor that make the whole room cozy.

Morning Star handed Magellan a glass of water and sat down in the chair next to him.

"Sorry for disrupting your plans, but we have a problem we need your help with. ”

"What?"

"About the nature of scientific existence. ”

The door opened, and the countess walked in from the outside.

"Welcome. ”

Morningstar invited the countess to sit down, then handed her a glass of wine.

"The King of the World has summoned the only theological researchers of the Frankie Academy who will help me to analyze the ways of being and the sources of power of science, based on the theory of the transcendent and conceptual beliefs of nature that you have proposed. ”

"And until then," Morningstar picked up, "the King of the World needs a complete explanation for her to judge whether this plan is really feasible." ”

"So I suggest that you come, and if my calculations are correct, you are better suited to the matter than I am. ”

A self-deprecating wry smile appeared on Magellan's face: "Are you saying that I'm better at preaching?"

"There are only two people in the world who really understand this theory, and the countess's position is always biased in Breton. ”

Morningstar spoke the truth without hesitation, and she didn't seem to care at all that the countess was there, though that was by no means respectful for a researcher.

"I don't think the countess would lie on the subject because of her position. ”

The countess suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Maybe I will." ”

Magellan shook his head helplessly: "I will do what you arranged." ”

Then he put his hand on his forehead: "I hate preaching the most. ”

"If you see this report as the first step in the big war to kill science, is it becoming less unbearable?"

"Hmm...... Much better. ”

......

Ruidu, the hunters are partying.

"The purpose of our existence is to protect this city, but now, let's see, what has become of this city?"

Countless thoughts collided in the air, each undoubtedly showing anger, and the hunters were blaming each other, and at the same time, they were blaming themselves.

"I watched the explorer fall on the back of the dragon, watched Magellan descend and kill the monster with his bare hands, and I couldn't do anything myself!"

The hunters' minds are so confused that it is like a simple quarrel, and there can be no conclusion at all.

"Enough!"

Then a powerful voice ended the quarrel.

"The Black Dragon Nidhogg is only a messenger, after which the real war will begin, science has returned, and he is going to send down the Messiah and end our world with the Last Judgment. ”

"By then, protect the city and wash away the shame, but don't forget that you're running out of time to become stronger. ”

The strong will brutally ended the hunters' gathering, and the people in the darkness scattered in all directions.

There was only one person left.

"It's time. ”
