Chapter 1030: Amnestics
The impact of the huge figure that appeared in the gray mist on the entire Randall, the entire United Kingdom of Fran, and even the entire continent of Veron was very huge, so huge that it was beyond Leo and Sylvia's expectations.
Maybe it's because Leo and Sylvia have experienced too many things, and they have seen countless magical things, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of shocking scene, and they have long expected the monsters in the fog to try to break out of the fog, so the impact is very small, and the time from the suburbs back to the castle is enough to digest the impact of the scene just now.
But for everyone but the two of them, the impact of this was enough to cause panic, because the scene in the Grey Mist had made almost everyone realize that the Grey Mist had either changed or was not what they had expected, and that it was not a good thing for them.
The gray fog has appeared for such a long time, even the coastal cities that are most seriously affected by the gray fog like Randall have begun to get used to the existence of the gray fog, not to mention that with the protection of the Poseidon Church, they can still enter the gray fog sea area and fish in the offshore zone close to the land, and will not be completely insulated from the rich products in the depths of the ocean like other harbor cities.
Although the gray fog will devour all intruders, for ordinary people, the threat of the gray fog is far less great than those mutated monsters that suddenly appear in the city, after all, as long as you don't look for death and drive a boat into the gray fog, there is basically no danger.
As for, some blurred images of monsters emerge from time to time in the gray fog, although sometimes ordinary people who see this kind of image fall into a crazy mood, most people will return to normal after a while, and only a few people will go completely crazy, but this situation will not directly harm the body of ordinary people, so it is not taken to heart.
And the few examples of those who go crazy are also seen as self-inflicted bad luck, and when that kind of huge monster image appears, you can just not look at it, and you choose to watch it out of curiosity, and you have to bear all the bad effects of watching.
But now the situation is different, the whole Randall port people saw the huge figure in the gray fog, and it did not appear and disappear as soon as the huge images they had seen before, like a hurried pedestrian, but approached the edge of the gray fog, trying to break out of the gray fog.
Almost everyone who saw this scene could feel that if it weren't for the power of the gray fog to stop it, that huge figure might have broken out of the gray fog, and what kind of devastating damage the mysterious existence represented by such a huge figure would cause to the world when it rushed into this world, this is something that almost everyone who knows how to use their brains can deduce.
Therefore, after discovering that the mysterious existence in the gray fog may be possible to break out of the gray fog, many people in the port of Randall began to fall into a panic, and felt that the place near the sea was no longer safe, and those who were able to leave the port of Randall chose to pack some valuables and leave immediately, as for the rest of the family, they waited until they settled down in the inland city, and then found a way to transport it back.
Those who did not have the conditions could only stay in Randall, some of them locked themselves in their rooms, some of them went to the city council to make trouble and protest against the city council for hiding the truth of the gray fog, and more people in the city ran to the church of Poseidon to pray.
In the hearts of these devout Poseidon Church believers, although the huge figure in the gray fog is extremely terrifying, they still believe that the sea god is the most powerful sea master, and that huge figure is not the opponent of the sea god, because the ships blessed by the sea god can pass in the gray fog sea, which means that no matter what powerful and mysterious existence in the gray fog, it cannot resist the power of the sea god.
It is also because of this idea that among the believers of the Poseidon Church, there are many more devout believers.
In normal times, it is a great event for any church to be happy and even celebrate if there are suddenly a large number of devout believers, after all, every devout believer represents a potential senior clergyman of the church, and the church not only depends on the blessing of the gods if it wants to grow and grow, but also needs the mission of senior clergy, so the number of senior clergy determines how far the church can develop.
However, such an extremely important matter for the Poseidon Church was ignored by the upper echelons of the Poseidon Church at this moment, because their attention was all focused on the sacrificial ritual affected by that huge figure.
When Leo and Sylvia returned to the castle, they learned what had happened on the altar of the sea cliff when the huge figure appeared and tried to break out of the gray fog, and all the holy relics arranged by the Poseidon Church in advance were crushed into powder by an unknown force, and none of the clergy of the church not far from the holy relics were harmed.
Although the destruction of a large number of holy relics caused huge losses to the Poseidon Church in Landaure, the Poseidon Church in Landauer is after all the location of the earliest Poseidon Church in the world of Veron, and the heritage here is beyond the reach of other places, even the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of England.
These vacancies in the damaged relics can also be filled quickly, but the question now is not whether to complete the relics, but whether this sacrificial ceremony should be carried out.
Many cautious high-level officials of the Poseidon Church believe that the huge figure in the gray mist appeared at this time and caused the destruction of the holy relics, which should be for the sacrificial ceremony of the Poseidon Church, and if the ritual continues, it may lead to unpredictable changes in the ritual.
However, more high-level members of the Poseidon Church believe that the ritual should continue, and even if the huge figure reappears, they cannot stop the ritual, because they feel that these things are actually a test of the Poseidon of their faith, and that the huge figure is actually an incarnation of the Poseidon.
In the ancient original scriptures of the Poseidon Church, it is mentioned that the sea god once appeared in the eyes of believers as a giant in the sea, helping the most devout believers to kill the huge monster in the sea, and the scene of the giant in the sea is also similar to the huge figure, surrounded by dense fog, only a vague figure can be seen, and so on.
The Poseidon Church was also caught up in a fierce dispute over this matter, and their dispute even involved these people from the Inge Kingdom Mission, because the Inge Kingdom was also divided into the Ritual Progression Sect and the Ritual Suspension Sect under the influence of the Poseidon Church.
The reason why there was such an inexplicable dispute among the envoys of the Kingdom of England was entirely because the members of the mission were composed of people from the church, the royal family, and the royal government, and the church naturally hoped that the ceremony could be carried out, after all, the purpose of their visit was to participate in the ceremony, go to the Poseidon Temple, and complete the things they had planned.
However, the people of the royal government are different, and their purpose is to be able to re-establish trade routes, so that the kingdom of England will once again strengthen its maritime superiority, and thus become a truly unique maritime supremacy.
As for the royal family, it is the most silent, as the representative of the royal family, Sean Donald did not participate in these arguments at all, but let his subordinates inform him after the results, and ran to a few gold dens in the city to stay and not come out.
Naturally, Leo and Sylvia had no intention of getting involved in this controversy, nor did they think to tell the Poseidon Church and the Inge Kingdom Mission that the appearance of the giant figure had nothing to do with the ceremony, but rather with the living chambers used by the mission's ships.
Although there were many secrets hidden in the living chamber, Leo had no intention of continuing to investigate, as he could feel that the huge figure appeared with intense anger and hatred, and he carefully examined the relics of the Poseidon Church that had been inadvertently affected, and found that the force that caused the destruction of the relics was something similar to a curse.
Leo informed Sylvia of this discovery, and after discussing it with her, they all felt that the biological prototype used by the Kingdom of England to create a living chamber was likely to have an extraordinary relationship with the huge figure that appeared in the gray mist, otherwise it would not have been possible for the huge figure to be attracted not long after the living body in the chamber produced pheromones, and while trying to break out of the gray mist, it attacked the place where the pheromone was produced with a curse power mixed with extreme anger and hatred.
In a way, the relics of the Poseidon Church should have endured a curse attack on behalf of the two of them.
This kind of thing is very troublesome to explain, and in the spirit of one more thing, it is better to have one less thing, and neither Leo nor Sylvia has the idea of saying these things, but just quietly watching the subsequent development of things as a bystander.
This sudden dispute developed very quickly, so fast that it was completely beyond Leo and Sylvia's expectations, the night before yesterday, Sylvia received information from his subordinates, there may be a split within the Poseidon Church because of this dispute, and there will also be a dispute between the church and the power of the Kingdom of England, but the next morning, the latest news is that the Poseidon Church continues to arrange the altar, and the ceremony is carried out as usual, as if the dispute that occurred yesterday has never appeared.
It is destined to be a mystery as to why the dispute that was still going on after dark, all the Poseidon priests and the Kingdom of England who participated in the dispute were silent about what happened that night, and even Sylvia had no way to inquire about any useful information, the only thing she knew was that there had been an unusual light in the Poseidon Church church, where everyone had gathered.
"Have you received a revelation from the gods?" said Sylvia with a frown after reading the relevant information.
"Probably not. Leo shook his head and said: "If it is a divine revelation, the movement cannot be so small, let alone the entire port of Landall, at least there should be some illusionary wonders produced by the dissipation of divine power in the location of the Poseidon Church and its surroundings, otherwise it is impossible for only one temple to have an abnormal light." ”
Thinking of this, Leo got up and went to the altar and observed the senior clergy in charge of the altar arrangement, who had also participated in the dispute last night.
However, he didn't notice anything unusual from the clergy, but the strange thing was that the clergy were still arguing over whether or not to continue the ritual yesterday, and regarded each other as mortal enemies in the dispute, but now they didn't have any gaps, and their relationship with each other seemed to be back to before the dispute, as if they had forgotten what happened yesterday.
"Will they have their memories erased?" said Leo, who had observed the clergy for a while, returned to Sylvia's office and turned to Sylvia, who was working on the official documents.
Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Erase the memory? In the Sanctuary of the Poseidon Church, the memory erasure of nearly seventy percent of the high-ranking clergy of the Seagod Church of Randall has been carried out? Have you considered the difficulty? Not to mention the ordinary transcendental, even a god like Bailu may be difficult to do." ”
Leo nodded in agreement, but he didn't change his mind, but added, "It may be difficult to erase the memories of other people in a Divine Sanctuary with supernatural powers, but what if you don't use supernatural powers?"
"Don't use supernatural powers?" Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.
Leo then explained to her how to erase a portion of someone's memories on a large scale without using supernatural powers, and said that this technology is not a sophisticated technology, and that the tools made with this technology are very common, and when used to erase the memories of others, a bright light erupts, similar to the light emitted from the Sanctuary mentioned in the intelligence.
"Is this technology from the stars again?" Sylvia couldn't fully understand the technical terms Leo was saying, but she still barely understood what he meant, and then asked with some confusion, "Who do you think has mastered this tool?"
"Sean Donald. Leo replied without even thinking about it.
"Why do you suspect him?" Sylvia said suspiciously, "According to the information, he spent all his time in the port of Randall last night, and he has never been to the Temple of the Sea God at all. ”
Leo shook his head and said, "I don't have evidence for the time being, but my intuition tells me that it should be him." ”
Sylvia chooses to trust Leo's instincts, and then cautiously reminds Leo that he needs to be careful of Sean Donald.
In fact, there is no need for Sylvia to remind him, and Leo will also be wary of Sean Donald, because if it is really Sean Donald who used an amnestic device to erase the memories of everyone in the Sanctuary last night, then Sean Donald must have mastered some high-tech knowledge from the Earth Federation.
The reason why he made this judgment is because using an amnestic device to clear a memory area within a certain range requires some high-tech knowledge and skills in using tools, and being able to use an amnestic device means being able to use other technological equipment, including even some weapons.
