Chapter 55: The Legend of the Holy Shield
It all started with a picture of the fire in the sky.
In 2620 B.C., the Bruder Zerg invaded Egypt, Pharaoh died tragically, and when the world was in danger, a man stepped forward to turn the tide, he was an engineer, his name was Imhetep, at the dawn of that civilization, his words became the only hope, he stood in front of the Zerg with a spear and shield, and he said, "Our world should not end like this." ”
This became the slogan of the Brotherhood of the Aegis, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
114 A.D. Han Dynasty
Location, Luoyang, Zhang Heng's courtyard
The stone lion shows the silent majesty, today is the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty that dominates the world, the pottery bricks and Han tiles, the wooden buildings of the dougong are intrigued, the vendors are selling on the street, the officials are approving the documents, and the economic science has entered a new height, but in the peaceful and prosperous era, human beings are quietly facing the danger of extinction.
"If my journey fails, you should take this spear and slay this monster," Zhang Hengrong dressed in horse clothes, armor and armor on his chest, he was a scientist on the outside, and here he was a holy shield brother.
"Sir, with all due respect, my closer look at this object is nothing more than a combination of wooden rods and iron blades, and it is rumored that it has infinite divine power, and it is really hard to believe that the artifact of Imhetep that we have in our possession must not be this thing. ”
"The so-called artifact has been like this since ancient times, the so-called shield is in the west, the spear is in the east, and you must have faith in order to give it its due divine power. ”
Zhang Heng stood in front of the tower, the whole body of the tower was wooden and red, and a ladder leading to the top of the tower led to the top, and the attendants followed behind him with a worried look. "Sir, are you sure this attempt will work?"
Zhang Heng touched his beard, "Of course, I have to," he climbed the ladder, turned his head to the attendant before leaving, and said, "The world I am waiting for should not end like this." ”
After saying that, he climbed the tower without hesitation, and the cold wind blew his clothes, but he couldn't shake his determination.
At the top of the tower, at a glance of the mountains, this is a rare high-rise building in Luoyang, but Zhang Heng has no intention of watching the scenery today, because in front of him, there is a larger, more advanced existence, that is a female god group!
The god's body is like a machine, the whole body is golden, and the face is an object like three eyes, and the gears and unknown mechanical structures can be seen between the joints and the gap between the face.
Zhang Heng threw off his sleeves and stood in front of her without fear in the face of an incomparably great group of gods, "Oh! from the goddess of heaven, your endless majesty is really impressed by us, the hope shining around you is like driving away the sun of the night, your uniqueness is really beyond all the people and gods we know, you take our day, consume our light, it is our gift, not our drag." ”
Subsequently, Zhang Heng sat cross-legged, and it was strange that the female god group also learned Zhang Heng's movements and sat cross-legged in the air.
"The goddess is above, how our generation should serve you, please make it clear. ”
The Celestial Group's voice was staccato and like a staccato voice, "Humans, you have to make a choice. ”
"At the center of this world, like on other planets, there is a dormant egg of the gods, and in the future, a million years now, this egg will give birth to a god, and it will devour the planet with the hunger of the newborn. ”
This is the way things in the world exist. ”
When Zhang Heng heard this, he looked adoring and said, "If you want to take it away, I promise you that none of us will disturb this egg," and he then sighed, "It is really a million years to give mankind...... The Goddess is above, and for a million years to protect this planet, we will be able to overcome any difficulties. ”
The mist curls over the fishing boats.
But at this time, the Celestial Group waved his hand and denied, "No, you misunderstood what I meant, let me explain." ”
The Celestial Group opened the shell of their abdomen, revealing an orange-red core inside, and the high temperature slapped on Zhang Heng's face like a wave.
"All the births of the gods so far have taken place inside the planet, and I carry something unique and forbidden in my body, and I have a child in me. ”
She pointed to her abdomen, "Completing this process will consume me completely, and I will pay this price, but I still need the right food, and I need to start the process now." ”
"Choose your Earth, where you will be extinct in a very short time, or the Moon, but either way, the end will follow. ”
The cold words of the female gods almost declared the extinction of the human race, as she said, either choice, the human race will not survive.
But Zhang Heng knew that according to the information left by the ancestors of the Brotherhood, this attitude had already shown the greatest humanity for the Celestial Group, and according to common sense, in the face of such a weak species as humans, the Celestials said that they did not care about the opinions of humans on this kind of issue.
The astral body was destroyed, the gods were born, just like the ancestors of the past, this time the life and death of mankind fell on Zhang Heng's head, but the Brotherhood was born for this situation, as the ruler of the divine spear, Zhang Heng is definitely a bold genius.
At this time, he frowned lightly, stroked his long hair with his hand, and said, "What a magnificent move of the Divine Mother..... How about an alternative?"
"This is the source of life for our generation, and the proper nourishment for the children of the stars. ”
On the other side, two figures stood on the top of the hill in the distance.
"It's a good plan for him to let the Celestials hatch in the Sun, and it's a novel proposal for the Celestials, who have always been born on planets," Apocalypse, who had been watching the conversation, said suddenly.
"He's really a man of courage, no wonder you don't need us to go," Selene smiled at Zhang Heng in the distance, his eyes full of approval.
"After thousands of years of development, the Holy Shield has its own method of selecting people, for this I have never doubted their vision, every country, every period has their own sages, these people are the objects of the Brotherhood, this is why Lord Garence asked us to try not to care about the Brotherhood, our organization has someone to become the dark side of this world, but also needs a department dedicated to saving the world. ”
"WELL, NOW THAT THE CRISIS IS OVER, IT'S TIME FOR SEELE TO STEP IN. Selene cast a spell and opened a portal behind him.
"Well, since the Celestials are going to be conceived in the sun, then we also need to have an outpost near the sun, and this plan is tentatively planned, the Amun God Project. ”
"It's not that I said, Apocalypse, the style of your name is really tasteless. ”
"I'm Egyptian, otherwise what would you want me to name?"
"Whatever you want. ”
...........
Florence, 1495
Beautiful city, in which sits a noble villa, which, unlike the others, is surmounted by a huge dome, and through the opening of the dome a huge astronomical telescope gradually protrudes.
The two men stood on the ladder of the telescope, busy with their respective work, "Ready," said the man in black, and then he lifted the optical instrument on the lens barrel and said worriedly, "Petro I have to tell you, something is not quite right, the air suddenly became cold. ”
As he spoke, a white mist came out of his mouth.
"Maybe that's what he is, Lorenzo, the sun rises and sets every day, and an unchanging state is so unnatural. It was another man dressed in purple who spoke, and he was Pietro.
"No, there's something else in the sun," Lorenzo said, using the reflection of the mirror, projecting images from the telescope onto the wall, showing three images.
Most of the picture is the bright light of the sun, but right in it, in the center of the sun, there is a strange influence.
At this moment, another man with a golden beard and a smile on the bridge of his nose walked in.
"Sir, it seems to me that this is an ominous sign, but Pietro disagrees, and perhaps you can answer it for us. ”
The man touched his chin, "yes, there's something there, we have to do something." ”
"But sir, that's the sun, we're just mortals with our feet on the earth. Lorenzo looked overwhelmed.
"Yes, we do, but there are things we have to do, because we are the Brotherhood of the Aegis, and no one can do it but us. ”
"So, then where do we start, sir, our goal is on the sun, what do you want to prepare?"
"I'm going to do something," the man turned and smiled, "Leonardo da Vinci was best at making things." ”
Sunlight shines through the glass, bringing out Leonardo da Vinci's confidence.
