Section 5: Holy War Soul Crystal (Part I)
Uncle Lins leaked the news to Townsend, which was the heartfelt love of the elders. But at the time,
Townsend felt more, after the initial surprise, he was depressed for a long time, he was a leader, Jing La Rose is a force, and he can't know about it from formal channels, which is undoubtedly very shameless.
Moreover, the most important thing is not a question of face.
The fact that mankind is a mortal enemy can actually confirm certain rules: Townsend can't directly get similar news, which means that his qualifications are not enough, or he is qualified enough, but he is not recognized by the people above. Regardless of the fact that the truth falls under that conclusion, unequal treatment will cause great damage to him, to the Rose of Thorn, on the level of consciousness and will.
But in the end, Townsend was not hurt, he was only depressed for a long time. One of the peculiarities of his personality is that he has to change his perspective when looking at a problem, and then find the positive elements in the bad things.
Qualifications are not enough, right? That means that there is a need for the strength to be in a good position! Not to be recognized, right? That means that there is room for strength to rise!
Anyway, Townsend and Thorn Rose are all the way from scratch, what others don't give, you have to take it yourself, as long as people are diligent, everything is possible, want him to admit stage fright?
This is Townsend's temper.
Pfister could now provide more detailed information, and Townsend certainly wouldn't refuse.
So he calmed down and asked, "What are the mortal enemies of mankind, and what do they have to do with the Makuming Furnace?"
"These things" are actually woven from each other, and I am a little hesitant to explain them. β
Pfister had been paying attention to Townsend's expression, and now Townshend's eyes were only attentive and calm, and his inner evaluation of him had increased a little: "Just one thing will make people suspicious, how about I start from the beginning?"
Townsend nodded, and now he really felt the kindness of the other party: "I'm listening." β
"The history of mankind has gradually become clear and credible only after the Radiant Church has waged a holy war. There must have been human beings before the Holy War" but that period of history luΓ n luΓ n into a mess, leaving behind a written record that is unbelievable and can only be used as a reference. So I have to admit that the effective and conscious preservation of history begins at the time of the Holy War. "Among the many faces of the Radiant Church, there are also a few that contain righteous and progressive. β
"The Church of Radiance?" Townsend said of the organization, and all he could do was sneer: "Is the holy war in the canon real?"
Townsend was no stranger to that war "long ago" in order to "corrupt" a certain little priest, he once went through the study of church materials about this "holy" war, and the church's text description is very bizarre: the name Zhang Guan Li Dai, the plot is inconsistent, and the key passages are even more upside down and logical.
So at the time, Townsend could only take it as an after-dinner joke.
"At least the major families believe it to be true, including the Silver Sè Coast. "This holy war is actually the last large-scale frontal war between mankind and its mortal enemy!"
Townsend immediately wanted to complain, but for the sake of Pfister's serious expression, he endured it.
"The war lasted a long time" Sure enough, Pfister lost the inside story: "A day recorded in the canon can actually be seen as a year." β
"Fighting for so long?" Townsend was truly surprised!
He remembered that the canon said that the holy war had been going on for two months, but wouldn't that be more than sixty years?!
Townsend believed Pfister's words: "The Church describes jihad, and it is natural to use a little chunk penmanship."
Because the gods have this need, because only when there is an illogical record can the gods blame God for all the benefits, such as the birth of the apostles, "Wait!" Thinking of the apostles, Townsend gladly at Pfister: "The apostles are also true?"
"That's right, halfway through the holy war, the apostle suddenly appeared!"
"Before the Holy War, other people and events could still find some clues in those unreliable records.
But the account of the apostles "is not a word." "Today's apostles are unspeakable and full of sin," Pfister said, "but at that time they were of great help in the war." In the end, humanity can defeat mortal enemies, and their role is also very crucial. "So, the human opponent is very strong?"
"They will be called mortal enemies by us, of course, much more powerful than humans, in fact, they have always been in an advantageous position, because they are natural anomalies! Many of the abilities that have been handed down to this day are actually stolen from them by humans in war. β
"What morality is there to talk about in a war?" said Townsend, "for the sake of victory, unscrupulous means." β
"It's normal and necessary, but it's still frustrating to think about. The extensive and concentrated use of these means also shows the brutality of war. Pfister is not pedantic, + passionate but feels strange from the angle: "The holy war lasted for many years, mankind was defeated one after another, and the rear was decadent, and this process of grief lasted for about forty years, which can be called the darkest period, and it lasted until the Church of Radiance shined.
"Before the Holy War, the Church of Radiance was small. Hardly a separate force. β
"The tribe born from the Radiant Church was divided by accident, so it lost its roots, and was often bullied by the surrounding big tribes, and many people suspected that the Radiant Church had a plan for this war1, so they did not come forward in the early stage, but secretly accumulated strength, organized a clergyman legion, and then took advantage of the sudden difficulty of the panicked low chΓ‘o period in the rear, and successfully integrated the main forces of the human race. β
"I see, no wonder it's violent. It dawned on Townsend that what Pfister said was actually a blank and hidden part of the historical record.
For example, the Glorious Church has gone from obscurity to dominating the overall situation, and there is no relevant record in the canon, and similar problems, they have always only used half a sentence to explain the will of the true God!
This half sentence seems ordinary, but it is actually very powerful, and by the way, it also explains birth, old age, sickness and death, the rising sun and the setting of the moon.
Okay, talking nonsense and fooling the people is considered a god's professional skill, and they can probably handle the internal rebellion, but it is a bit ridiculous to expect them to fight, especially to resist foreign enemies, right?
Obviously, the profession is not right. So Townsend's question is true: "It's not difficult to understand that the Glorious Church relied on improvised legions to turn over. However, with this little strength, I don't believe they can hold back their mortal enemy. β
"This type of person has many characteristics, including forbearance and fanaticism. "At that time, they treated themselves and others almost as harshly as they did with their mortal enemies. Another key is that they are very well prepared. β
"Their preparations began before the war, with sufficient reserves of materials and manpower, and they were desperately trying to find ways to improve efficiency. Abilities, military formations, logistics administration, and more!
For example, our writing today is the result of their research on quick writing, and we call this kind of comprehensive progress parasitic sheep. β
"Use the war to complete the all-round transformation?" Townsend also exclaimed: "This trick is really ...... Sure forbearance, really fanatical!"
"This kind of xing style is brought to the war, and the results caused by it are not easy to evaluate, defeat is a crushing defeat, and victory is a crushing victory. "Fortunately, the human counteroffensive succeeded in the end: unfortunately, the mortal enemy of humanity was not completely destroyed," Pfister explained. β
"War is like that, it's hard to kill all the enemies. Townsend shrugged his shoulders and disagreed.
"If this situation is due to the lack of human combat power, we have nothing to say but regret, but the truth is not so good. β
"The main reason is that the management of the church is too brutal, so in the final stage of the war, the surviving forces of mankind are not thinking about how to kill the enemy, but how to retain their strength and annex the territory of other countries.
Pfister smiled bitterly: "But they didn't expect that digging out their minds to create a feast of dividing the territory would allow the Glorious Church to take advantage of it and save countless time and effort." β
"Of course. Townsend said: "At that time, Jingrui's power must have been mastered by the Radiant Church. β
"You have a keen sense of judgment. That's right, because of this unprecedented victory, the prestige of the Glorious Church is skyrocketing, and the dream of ordinary people must be to wear the clergyman's robe. Jing Ying's talents and scarce materials are all in the hands of the church. Pfister said: "After the holy war, the church stood for a thousand years, and it was only because of the foundation laid at that time.
So far, the vast majority of the recipes for war materials have been in the hands of the Glorious Church. β
"War material formula?
"That's right, a good formula can increase the utility of materials by more than three times, and can also amplify and solidify some special effects. Pfister explained, "When it comes to playing against mortal enemies, Church of Radiance stuff is in high demand, and everybody wants it. β
"Dominate. Townsend glanced at the Dawn Furnace and seemed to mutter: "It's easy to explain the monopoly of resources in the war, but it is still the case in the post-war millennium, which is a bit too much to say."
"There has always been a suspicion that there are many secrets of the Radiant Church that have not been revealed, and the church does not deny or admit it. Pfister said, "The only truth may have to be verified by going to the main hall of the church." The main hall of the church is a very mysterious place, and only a few people know the exact location. In many legends, the murals in the main hall are not only historical facts, but also contain a large collection of high-level abilities and magical arts. β
"No matter how you look at this legend, it is used by the pit people. Townsend was not very interested in this: "By the way, the Trident has had the Dawn Furnace for a long time, and it should produce a lot of materials. Even if it doesn't have as much as the Church of Radiance, there should be enough accumulation to determine how to distribute and use them, and these gems should have a destination, right?"
"Where there is production, there will be consumption. The Dawn Furnace is not a stand-alone tool, it is actually a large and vital system. Pfister smiled faintly: "Moreover, this is not called a gem, its official name is a hun crystal!"
