Volume 1 The Storm Chapter 3 The Holy Convent (10,000 Words)
That's how I arrived in the Duchy of Grimm with the Blonde Knight. Take the Bridge of Middle-earth train, the largest steam train in all of Middle-earth, which connects the entire country of Middle-earth. Ride it from the Duchy of Los to the Holy Kingdom. Finally, stop at the old industrial area of Cross. This is where the industrial revolution began, with three large red mercury mines and eight coal mines, making it once the heart of industry, but as the rest of the country began to develop, it became an old industrial area due to the high cost of rebuilding facilities and some secret reasons. Although it is an old industrial area, it is still the most important source of electricity in the holy country, because the holy country lacks rivers, and can only rely on thermal power generation. The huge chimney was steaming, and even the sun seemed to be obscured by the man-made power, and the tall metal stand stood like a sleeping giant. About fifty years ago, with the exception of the thermal power plant, the red mercury mine, and the coal smelter, all the other facilities were converted into surface facilities belonging to the institution I was about to work in. However, it seems that something has changed dramatically, and some of the buildings have apparently not been inhabited for years.
The train from the Duchy of Los stopped at a platform that looked abandoned, and the man in black on the platform quickly opened a door that led to the underground staircase and appeared in front of us. About thirty steps down is an underground platform, and looking at its metal guardrails, there is not a trace of rust, obviously using expensive aluminum alloy. A small train approached slowly, with cables attached to it. It turned out to be a cable car that had just been proposed in recent years.
"You come out alive, and we can talk about the rest." With that, the blonde knight pushed me in and closed the door, watching the cable car drive down the dark underground tunnel. God, the spirit lord is above, and he wants to drive underground, this can't be some kind of forbidden biological experiment or forbidden alchemy experiment?
The train traveled for nearly an hour, stopping several times as if to wait for the other trains to leave first. I don't know why, and no one has introduced or explained anything to me. Eventually, we came to a huge natural cave.
Dots of blue light drifted freely, as if they were distant relatives of fireflies that lived here, and they were harmless to people. Their blue light illuminates the underground rivers as bright as the purest gems of the sea. And a huge electric lamp complements them. A majestic cluster of metal structures surrounds a strange spherical object in the middle, the lines on which are complex and mysterious, and they breathe blue light as if they have life. Seeing the huge man-made structures that exist underground, I can't help but be amazed by the creativity and labor of human beings, such miraculous buildings fully demonstrate the power of the Holy Kingdom. I memorized the "deed of sale", as long as I came out alive from this secret institute known as the "Crown of Gaia", the self-proclaimed Ludwig. Eldridge will let us live a peaceful life. Hell, the devil believed him, how could this underground facility, which seemed to be a secret within a secret, still allow me to live a safe life with the butler and Mr. Reinhardt after I came here?
It's really like forcing a script for a drama for a newbie like me, and I didn't forget to say at the end that it was just a draft. How do I cope?
The metal gate slowly opened, the cable car stopped on a platform, and the soldiers in black uniforms immediately rushed over to set me up, and quickly passed through an iron gate, as if they didn't want me to see the specific situation here. Behind us were countless workers dressed in gray clothes who began to deliver the goods and removed our whereabouts.
The soldiers walked through the twists and turns of the passage, I don't know how many floors up and down, and finally stopped in front of a heavy valve, a man dressed in white who looked like a researcher was looking at something through the electric light of the passage. A soldier stepped forward.
"Wittels. Dr. Heigl. The soldier said.
"Huh? People brought? The man named Dr. Hegl looked at me with a hint of a look, "I hope it can be used a little longer." "Well, I'm really here to be a test subject.
"It's Kimchi. Ayukashi, right? Dr. Heigl said, and before I could answer, he began to say, "Welcome to the Holy Convent." ”
The Holy Convent is a gathering place for monks who guard the messengers of the spirit lord in the Spiritual Cult, and it is the place where Gaiatong and knights are blessed in legend. However, this place is obviously just borrowing the name, cold metal, dense wires, steaming machinery, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to really be a holy seminary.
This place of the hell is like a gathering place for demons.
I was taken to a somewhat old, dark gold patterned door. If you look closely, you can see that it is painted with stories about the Holy Convent in the canon. What the hell is this place? Dr. Heigl led me through the door, and the soldier stopped outside.
I thought I would come back to the workshop of the alchemists of the ancient church, but what I didn't expect was that the door was like a modern laboratory, a circular hall, surrounded by a circle of buildings, and all kinds of equipment were placed around. However, if you look closely, the facilities are a little old, and even after they have been cleaned, they still have a sense of history, as if they came out of a history book in the mixed lines of electric and gas lamps
Several experimenters dressed in white approached.
"Are you ready?" Dr. Heigl asked, somewhat excitedly, and after getting the answer he wanted, the whole convent came to life at his command. One lift after another, with the operation of the steam engine, brought various facilities and supplies to the hall. The last spherical device slowly pushed out. The device was odd, consisting of a metal sphere enclosed by countless rings, and countless cables connected to its base. It's like an ancient altar of sacrifice, coming through broken history.
"The unification ceremony is ready, and the current intensity will be gradually reduced." A researcher reported.
I was fixed to an operating table, and the experimenter put a strap around my hands and feet. It looks like he wants to control my body. God, you don't have to inject any weird reagents, do you?
"Don't you have to take off your clothes?" One of the experimenters asked.
"No, clothes don't make a difference. And, if you unfortunately die, you can be a little more decent. As if sensing my uneasiness, Dr. Heigl smiled and said, "It's okay, it's safe, just kidding." "That look was like a white rabbit comforting the white rabbit who was about to be made into a meal. I don't believe it at all.
Soon, they were ready, the facilities were set up, and the useless instruments were removed. The experimenter, as well as Dr. Heiger, exited the rotunda through the surrounding valves, which closed and locked with the sound of a steam engine and ticking. It seems that they must have entered the seven-meter-high observation platform, surrounded by alchemy glass, so the naked eye cannot see what is inside, only themselves, like a mirror.
So how dangerous is it to enter an observation room that is even stronger than the fortress command room?
The doctor's voice came through the speakers. But obviously, it wasn't read to me.
"The integration ceremony begins, and the restraints are gradually weakened."
"Yes! The restraints are gradually weakened! ”
The experimenter began to nervously begin to operate the instrument in front of him. Although they had been prepared and rehearsed in advance, these young experimenters were still a little shaky. Dr. Heiger, as much as he valued experiments, did not blame the young experimenters for their small mistakes. And he often whispered reminders of the experimenter's mistakes. What a strange person.
The light bulbs on the ring gradually and regularly went out, the hall rang with a slight alarm bell, and the sound of a mechanical shaft inside the metal sphere began to open layer by layer like an onion. Countless white gases overflowed, cold and very pungent, and I thought it should be refrigerated with ammonia. It seems that it was indeed recently activated, otherwise liquid nitrogen should have been used. The pungent smell began to waft to me, causing me to feel a slight discomfort, but fortunately the exhaust fan in the facility was turned on. The huge suction force quickly peeled the white mist out of here. I finally feel a lot better.
"All restraints are lifted, and the pool of holy water is ready."
"Yes! All restraints are lifted, and the holy pool is ready! ”
The vibrations beneath me grew violently, and I felt something disengage from this operating table-like thing. Soon, there was a sensation of movement again, and the entire operating table began to move. But I could only tell by the movement of the light that it was moving towards the center. The clicking sound was getting louder and louder, as if something was coming out of it. In a few moments, the operating table was on the surface of a large pool, and the silvery liquid reflected the yellow halo of the large tungsten lamp above, turning the surroundings into a golden glow. It deserves to be called the Holy Water Pool. However, I can't enjoy such a "beautiful view". After all, I became someone else's landscape.
So what exactly is this going to do? Looking at such a big battle, I was suddenly a little inexplicably afraid. When I think of some of the "funny stories" about the evil alchemists that the butler told me when I couldn't sleep on the way to escape, my heart beat faster.
"Report! The polarization angle of the holy pool is suitable, please use a Faraday cage, Tesla circle! ”
"Permission, activate immediately."
"Yes! Get started now! Put the Faraday cage, Tesla circle! ”
A metal cage descended from above to cover the operating table, and a huge ring rose around the pool of holy water, enveloping the entire pool, and wrapping it around it. I didn't understand what this was about.
"Report! The device is ready! ”
"Start taking out Pandora's box."
"Yes! Get ready to take out Pandora's box! ”
The outer shell of the spherical device began to spread apart, and a small cart with a magnetic ring on top drove along the tracks, and inside the spherical shape, a very old object with a golden pattern carved into the sphere fell and floated within the ferrule. The metal hook lifted the upper part of the trolley and slowly stopped a few meters above me.
"Prepare the connection device, and the Holy Technique Platform system will be activated at the same time!"
"Yes! The docking device is activated, and the Sacred Altar system is started synchronously! ”
Numerous needles in the lower part of the operating table suddenly pierced upward. Although it seems that he has learned oriental acupuncture, he has not achieved any results. The severe pain quickly erupted all over the body, the pain was so painful that he couldn't even speak, cold sweat continued to flow out, his head was already a little dizzy, and a trace of sweetness and rust appeared in his mouth. I don't know why, but I didn't faint because I was afraid of pain on weekdays.
"Open Pandora's box."
"Yes! Open a Pandora's box! ”
The metal firing pin hits the center of the sphere, and the sphere begins to slowly open.
"External facilities are electrified." Dr. Haigl's voice trembled slightly, causing a slight murmur to emerge from the speakers.
"Enter the irreversible procedure, the sword of Damocles prepares."
"Yes! Prepare the Sword of Damocles! ”
An item resembling a sword appears above the sphere. It also has an ancient golden pattern.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the mythical Rite of Unity will reappear before you!" Dr. Heigl seemed to have a heart attack, and was as excited as a child, and he seemed to be reveling in something, "The inner facility is electrified!" Drop the Sword of Damocles! ”
"Yes! The inner facilities are powered up, and the sword of Damocles is dropped! ”
The electricity instantly filled my body, and the paralyzing sensation filled my whole body, and soon, I only had time to look upwards when the black liquid flowed down. By the time they hadn't yet dripped over my head, I was unconscious. Soon after, it seemed to be in a dream.
Slowly. I don't know how long it took me to regain consciousness.
Darkness, boundless darkness. This was my first and only impression when I "woke up". Walking in one direction at random, the sound of my own footsteps scared me, and I started running, almost feeling like I was about to fly, and my heart was beating violently. Time becomes an unpredictable, incalculable variable at this point, and I don't know how long it has been running. Finally, there seemed to be light in front of my eyes. At first, I thought it was just a fantasy, but as I progressed, it seemed to grow in size, until at last I came to a quaint gate with a light emitted by an electric light that was out of place. On the door, a vivid candle-shaped pattern is covered on it, which is very contradictory. Strange, how can a quaint person feel alive? Why do I feel that this gate is both familiar and unfamiliar?
Approaching the door, there was a quaint lock on the door, and the key should have been the metalwork that had somehow appeared in my hand. It seemed as if it should have been as if the key had suddenly appeared in my hand and should have been opened with it naturally. Looking at the lock on the door and the key in my hand, I suddenly felt, have I, as if, been here many times? However, it was the first time I came here in my memory, in front of this door. I was a little hesitant. There are a myriad of complex emotions stirring my mind.
To open or not to open? A question suddenly appeared in my heart.
Dr. Hegel stared at the pool of holy water in the hall, deaf to even the reports of the other experimenters.
This experiment was the only hope, and it took him more than a decade to get the money from the people who were now sponsoring him, but the sponsors only provided enough money for him to complete one unification ceremony. His subordinates and students had objected to this, saying that they should no longer experiment with the integration ritual that he had improved, but should instead devote themselves to the study of the internal combustion engine, first restore the Institute of Secret Research, and then challenge the failure of the past.
Indeed, three hundred years ago, that fleet brought back a great deal of resources that could be used for the unification ceremony. However, after countless experiments, except for those with gray pupils, other people cannot withstand the erosion of black water, and often after using holy water a few times, people will either die, or become monsters as terrible as death, and eventually have to pay a greater price to destroy them.
With the development of technology, the Holy Kingdom believed that there were many weapons that could replace the Unified Knights, and after repeated failed experiments, the Apostolic Council decided to shut down the entire project, and even considered whether to seal off or destroy the facilities where the Unity Ritual was conducted. It is rumored that there were three Gaia Crowns, two of which were destroyed due to frequent experimentation, and the other was a perennial garrison of troops to prevent some of the monsters inside from escaping. It is conceivable that even the most crazy madman should recognize that this is not a technology that can be mastered now.
But it's clear that Dr. Heigl has gone crazy to be a human being.
Of course, if there is any hidden shady scene in this, it is not something that ordinary people or even ordinary high-level personnel can know. After all, spending countless manpower and material resources to build a complex of this magnitude underground, is it really just for a research institute? If this is the case, how can it be weakened year after year?
Moreover, as one of the top scholars in the Holy Kingdom, Dr. Heiger did not understand the significance of the internal combustion engine. But even so, he insisted on experimenting with the unification ritual, and there must be an unknown reason for this.
As the minutes ticked by, the head of the laboratory staff sitting around Dr. Haigl was covered in cold sweat. The only sound in the observation room was the operation of the instruments, and everyone did not dare to make a sound, and even wanted to hide the sound of their breathing.
Ten minutes have passed, this is the critical point that has been studied by successive experiments, if he dies, it proves that he is not qualified, and if he survives, it means that he can withstand the erosion of black water more times. Dr. Heigl apparently didn't just want to get a "qualified person", and the qualified person had already found a way to stabilize the production of qualified people when he first launched the Western Expedition. Why is the ceremony so expensive? It was because he had added various other expensive materials to the pool of holy water that he wanted to complete the composition of the Unified Knights, which was most suitable in his theory. It is a method that can extend the life cycle of the Unified Knights indefinitely and greatly reduce the threshold.
Heigl looked at the experimenter who was testing the features of life, and the experimenter almost fell off his chair.
"Newspaper... Report, the subject still has vital features! The experimenter hurriedly reported.
"The condition of the Holy Water Pool?"
"Report, steady state!"
Dr. Heigl breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again and muttered to himself.
"Damn the Conquest Agency! The last time I found the Grey-Eyed Qualified, I was messed up by you guys who should be greeted by your mother! The failed experiment ... ”
Failed experiment, and anyone present would have been impressed. About ten years ago, in that disaster, many colleagues and big people died here, obviously because of the hands and feet of the war agency, but in the end the secret research institute was dismantled. It is impossible that the people of the Apostolic Council were unaware of the existence of the Grey-Pupiled Qualified and their ability to adapt to the erosion of the Black Water. However, it seems that there were many adults supporting the conquest agency at that time. In addition, Dr. Haigel's budget request was too high, and the budget of the conquest agency with a certain "revision" was more in line with the apostles' expectations. Thus, the Holy Seminary lost to the conquest agency. The most valuable secret research institute was dismantled. If it weren't for the fact that many old scholars stayed behind and trained a new generation of people from the Institute of Esoteric Research without compensation. Today there may not be this struggle. So Dr. Hager gambled almost all of his money on this one.
If he loses, not only will the Esoteric Institute be dismantled, but it will be impossible for the conquest agency to let go of this use of the Esoteric Institute as a breakthrough and inflict a heavy blow on the Holy Seminary. Although the Holy Convent is still a behemoth, through the chaotic management now, the names of the various departments are confused, it can be seen that it is absolutely impossible for the Holy Convent to save one of his cores, but the Esoteric Institute, which has been in decline.
"Since you started using means, don't blame me for using them too!" Dr. Haigl suddenly shouted: "Hurry up and record the data for me, if that person makes a mistake, hehe, anyway, what we are doing now is a secret of the secrets, and if a few people die, who will care." ”
The frail experimenters suddenly burst out with astonishing physiness and enthusiasm, and manuscripts and typewriter reports flew to Haigl. Dr. Heigl quickly read the report as he handed it.
My movements were starting to get a little out of my control. Although I felt like I was driving a motorcycle into a church, I still inserted the key into the door lock little by little. With a "click", it's already the end. However, I didn't open the lock.
Upon closer inspection, the door lock is very new, and it is clear that it does not fit in with this gate. It has a pattern drawn in an unknown color. It also has Dulin written on it, which is a very old script. Luckily, the butler had taught me, and I began to have a hard time recognizing. The text on this seems to read:
"Don't open it, Eschuur."
My pupils constricted, and a vague memory flooded back. But I couldn't make anything clear, and the memories that came flooding back were blurry. This upsets me.
I stopped quietly in front of the door. Hands trembled, eyes drifting.
"To open or not to open?" Suddenly there was a hoarse voice behind me, which temporarily interrupted my daze, and I immediately turned back, but there was nothing to see but darkness behind me.
Is it a hallucination? I started to get nervous, and the hallucinations in my dreams were probably not a good sign. This made me even more afraid to open the door.
I was going to pull out the key and turn around and leave, but my body was completely out of my control, and I stood in front of the door as if I was frozen, and I didn't open the door or leave.
The Holy Crown of Gaia is the name of the huge sphere, and the Holy Convent is the experimental site of the Esoteric Institute, and it is also the name of the organization, the reason why the experimental site of the Esoteric Institute was named after the organizational force is because of the strength of the Esoteric Institute, and the former glory made them use the name of the organization at will, so the former Young Zhuang faction had a conflict with the old people, which also indirectly led to the split of the Holy Seminary, when the Young Zhuang faction was politically suppressed and unable to maintain the Esoteric Institute, most of the Holy Convent stood by and watched. Don't they know the importance of the Institute? Of course it can't be, but it seems that his own power and dignity need to be taken care of more than this scientific research department ruled by young people. Moreover, after so many years, the Holy Convent has long been more than a mere scientific research department and a manufacturer.
This is the secret research institute that was once brilliant for a short time. Although now it has been reduced to only that. However, their scientific research capabilities are still not to be underestimated.
As the most advanced experimental site in the entire Holy Country, and even in the whole of Middle-earth, it has long been equipped with electrical equipment. The Holy Seminary has a huge electric tower. However, in the face of this experiment, it also seemed a little powerless.
The reserve power of the Holy Convent is declining rapidly, and the light bulbs that go out one by one represent that the consumption of reserve power has also made the air more and more dull, and no one dares to gasp for breath in the hot air. The only thing in Nuo's laboratory is Dr. Heigl's own whispered self-talk.
"Report! The last standby steam generator has been started. It is expected that after twenty minutes, the electricity of the Holy Convent will no longer be able to support the unification ceremony. A researcher said to Dr. Heiger.
Dr. Heigl didn't seem to hear, still pacing back and forth while talking to himself, his brow furrowed, his eyes burning, as if he was making something important to make, and all the experimenters did not dare to say anything further.
When the last light representing the stored power went out, Dr. Heigl stopped, rushed to the console, and opened a hidden device somewhat unfamiliarly. He smashed the glass cover, and his hands that he usually tried to maintain became a little bloody and blurred, and he looked at the holy pool with a tense face. At this moment, he is no longer a scholar who is immersed in research, but a veteran who has not died in a hundred battles. The nearby experimenters were so shocked by their boss's sudden change in aura and the presence of the sophisticated instruments in the Rotunda that they didn't even hear the sudden sound of the alarm.
A huge internal combustion engine appeared, and the loud sound brought a huge amount of black smoke and electricity. Some of the thick wires are overloaded with electricity that creates sparks and small arcs.
Seeing such a big machine, these new experimenters finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the struggle of those former young people in forbearance. Dr. Heigl didn't care about the adoring, surprised eyes, he just looked at the pool of holy water.
"Still unwilling to open it? It doesn't matter, this kind of thing always needs someone to help and push. Dr. Heiger quickly pressed the black-and-red button. The blaring sirens immediately resounded throughout the Holy Seminary.
"Warning, Blackwater Activation Procedures Initiated, All Personnel Entering the Vault Installation."
A cold mechanical sound appeared, and everyone present except Dr. Hagel looked surprised. They didn't expect that there would be an auxiliary voice steam computer in the Holy Seminary, let alone that there would be a blackwater activation device here.
One by one, the archaic heavy armor was lowered, and a viewing window made of some kind of clear crystal covered the window of the observation platform. One researcher couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out to be such a large piece of hopeless crystal! The fleet from three hundred years ago had brought back a crystal that could defend against the erosion of black water. The first Knights of the Fusion had to constantly take medicines containing this crystal. This substance, which is also damaging to the human body, causes the knight's body to become emaciated after repeated use of black water. This is a substance that cannot be degraded by the human body. Under the double erosion, the use cycle of the unified knight is extremely short, and the threshold for selection is also very high. If it weren't for the extraordinary combat power, it would have been locked in the archives a long time ago. This is why the Council of the Apostles decided to abandon the Unification Knights, and why Dr. Heigl conducted the experiment. Just imagine, being able to extend the life of the unified knights indefinitely will definitely impress the old people of the Apostolic Council.
The pool of holy water had begun to boil, the outer defenses had been fully activated, and countless guns appeared from the surrounding walls, their muzzles aimed at the pool of holy water, forming a net of fire that could tear everything apart. Seems ready to kill the demon that comes out of the pool of holy water at any moment.
The largest of these guns is comparable to the US military's cannons. With such a powerful firepower, what exactly is it intended to defend against? Dr. Haigel's serious expression implied that even so many weapons would not be able to completely suppress the monster.
This was something that all the researchers, except Dr. Heiger, had never experienced, and their palms began to sweat and they had to dry them with paper towels to avoid wetting the materials and reports.
"Life or death, blessing or curse, it depends on your own creation." Dr. Hager said something oriental to the unseen pool of holy water.
The silver light pierced the darkness behind me, sharp pain appeared everywhere in my body, and faint white smoke came out of my body. It's like sublimation. The silver light approached rapidly, the pain became more and more intense, making the eyelids heavier and heavier, and the huge oxygen demand and the weak contradiction of breathing hit my consciousness all the time, making my consciousness begin to become chaotic, and I felt that something was about to pop up.
"To open or not to open?" The hoarse voice came again.
I refuse, my favorite thing to do is to say no to things that I think I can control ... Of course it can't be that I'm afraid to open it and see something, I can't be because I'm timid, absolutely impossible.
Countless figures suddenly came out of the silver light, approaching me like ocean waves, and I almost couldn't feel my consciousness anymore.
"To open or not to open?" The hoarse voice repeated mechanically.
However, I didn't make out who spoke again. It seems to be far away in the ears, it is so familiar, and it is so strange.
I thought it was my dream, but now everything that came out made me suspicious. For example, I couldn't even think of a sea of silver with a broken head.
Where exactly have I been?
I can't open it, I thought silently in my heart. As shattered memories slowly reunited around these words, and while I still didn't know what had happened, I knew that if I had opened it at this point, I would have recalled some memory buried in the darkest corners. Most of these memories are not good memories.
The sound of my constant heavy heartbeat has begun to warn. This made me feel afraid, if I opened it, would I die suddenly because of the unbearable pressure?
The silver ocean is approaching, and now I can even clearly see the strange shapes of those silver humanoid things, limbs, bodies and even necks, as if they were stretched by something, and the body about three meters tall moved quickly with the ocean, and even formed silver waves, and the invisible evil breath made me breathless. Each silver humanoid head has a huge black hole, and this black hole, when you look at it, gives it a strange feeling. It's as if a pair of eyes are staring at you and trying to assimilate you into something. I immediately closed my eyes. No one would want to face countless pairs of these eyes.
My eyes closed, and countless miserable and depressed voices began to appear in my ears, as if the voices of the whole world had gathered here, and countless emotions began to hit my mind. It's like being in purgatory. I can't feel the pain anymore, no, I don't even feel myself anymore. Consciousness is like a candle that is about to be extinguished, and it has lost its original shape.
"To open or not to open." The hoarse voice also became low, and it was difficult to distinguish it from the chaotic sound purgatory. It was a terrible experience and I shouldn't have gone to Ite. With the knowledge of two years ago, he stayed in the somewhat desolate border town of Garoslavi, became a mechanical engineer, and lived a fairly prosperous life peacefully. But why is this happening? My emotions seem to be getting a little out of control.
"To open or not to open." The hoarse voice had become ethereal, as if if I didn't answer, it would go with the wind. Oh, there's no wind here.
In front of me, even when I closed it, it turned into a sea of silver, and my thin eyes didn't keep out these strange things. As my eyes grew brighter and brighter, I knew that the silver waves were coming. It's impossible to open it, and although the housekeeper is a little unreliable, she won't hurt me after all.
Don't open! I did my best to keep my consciousness strong.
"No, do you?" The hoarse voice suddenly became clear enough that I could feel something again, what seemed like Dr. Hegel's voice?
A hand suddenly reached out from behind my back, grasped my hand firmly, turned the key, and finally slit open my palm, allowing blood to stain the pattern on the door.
There was a click, the door opened, and I was thrown inside.
What a hell of a life.
"Doctor, all the power has been exhausted, and the steam generator has been shut down by the security system due to overload.
At this time, only a few gas lamps were still lit in the Holy Seminary, and the Holy Altar was still shrouded in a silvery mist.
"Urgently start the trial rock oil generator."
"Yes! Prototype rock oil generator was immediately activated. Under the command of Dr. Heigl, the experimenters began to operate, so that the huge instrument ended its initial adjustment and began to operate at full capacity, and the louder sound could not even be isolated from the alchemy window, and everyone had to put on headphones and continue to work through the internal communication system.
The lights of the Holy Convent grew brighter and brighter, and just as they were about to be restored, they went out again, and the emergency backup light was turned on, illuminating a patch of silver. The sound of a separate alarm from the central rotunda reached a level that was audible even to the experimenters and Dr. Heigl in the observation room.
"Warning! Warn! The Wall of Hopelessness is under attack, and the time to resist is being calculated, so please contact the nearest grave sweeper immediately! "The icy steam auxiliary engine also seems to be in a hurry. The reason why activated black water is a taboo among taboos is precisely because it is able to create a monster, a monster that has lost its mind, and this monster can only be destroyed by the gravesweeper, one of the hidden powers of the Holy Kingdom.
Of course, it is impossible to notify the grave sweepers to come here now. Dr. Haigl unplugged a device, the alarm was lifted, and the mechanical sound returned to normal as if nothing had just happened. Apparently, however, the researchers' hands began to tremble unconsciously at this time, but they did not dare to say anything because of Dr. Heiger's obscenity.
And at this time, located on the ground in a place known to a few. Reinhardt and Eschuur were lifted out of the steam locomotive with their faces covered. Reinhardt had healed, but still had a hand that needed a cast, and the arm that had disappeared had been fitted with a prosthetic. Ludwig clearly understood a little bit of the peculiarity of Eschuur, so she wore a special all-round enclosed helmet, which she carried on a stretcher, and did not release her restrictions until she entered a building. This is all to prevent Eschuur from being able to understand where she is and escape on her own.
After all, Ludwig was fondly remembered on that day.
After Ludwig left, Eschuur somehow arrived.
Reinhardt carried Eschuur to the bed.
It was a rather luxurious reception room, and Ludwig's platoon brought them here, leaving an order not to leave without permission.
Eschuur was unconscious for some reason, and Reinhardt didn't know why, so she could only temporarily assume that she needed to rest. After putting Eschuur on the bed, he began to do the work of guarding.
Aishuur drove in chaos.
"Damn it!" The originally elegant Aishu Youer burst into a foul mouth. Apparently there was something that had angered Eshur to the extreme.
"Really!" The butler followed a small dot of light.
In the sea of chaos, Aishuur struggled to move forward. Countless hands were holding the uninvited visitor.
This is the bottom of the collective consciousness of human beings, and countless chaotic thoughts are filled here, and ordinary people will be completely eliminated from consciousness when they come here, and become a part of this place. And Eschuur was able to walk here and maintain the integrity of his consciousness.
It doesn't seem like this is the first time I've been here.
"Well, it looks like I'm really a little rusty." Eschuur laughed at herself for her slowness and powerlessness. Half of her body was already in the ocean, but she wasn't in a hurry. Just follow the light in front of you.
Finally, she broke free from the countless pulls of consciousness and came to a door, one that was very similar to what Kimchi had seen.
She took a deep breath, but it didn't seem to help. She opened the door and walked inside.
Dr. Heiger abruptly ordered all the researchers to increase their attention. It seems that something will come out soon.
Sure enough, soon, the entire observation room was boiling.
"Report! Subject's vital signs are on the rise! The normal range has been broken! ”
"Report! The electricity is suspected to be being absorbed by the target subject, and the rock oil generator has begun to overload! ”
The sound of reports or alarms permeated the convent, making everyone nervous unconsciously.
"Open the anti-Blackwater defense facility and prepare for the final unification ceremony."
Following Haigel's order, the walls around the pool began to disperse in all directions, and sirens sounded in the central rotunda.
"Attention! The Harmony Knight Armor is initially activated. A mechanical voice said.
A three-meter-tall armor slowly rose. The quaint lines and scarred surface all declare its glorious and difficult past. Under the illumination of the lights, it is like a giant who has stepped out of an epic.
A black, silver-streaked humanoid figure emerges from the pool of holy water. It is no longer possible to tell from the appearance whether it is still Kimchi. Eyes with a silver glow on their heads looked into the observation room. Even though it was clear to everyone that the thing couldn't see them through the Wall of Hopelessness, the experimenters lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it. Hegl was the only one who stared at him calmly. Hager raised his right hand, and a cannon appeared in the central rotundale, a cannon full of strange patterns that was different from any known principle of artillery.
I don't know if it was the first time I had the idea of putting down my hand, that Dr. Heigl ended making eye contact with it.
"The final unification ceremony begins, and the unification of the knight's armor begins."
"Yes! Unfold the Unified Knight Armor! ”
Inside the Rotunda, with the help of a delicate rectangular frame, the armor spread out and slowly moved towards the pool of holy water. The black humanoid figure stepped out of the pool of holy water and came to the frame.
"Note that the final phase of the integration ritual begins." An icy mechanical auxiliary voice rang out. The armor began to devour the black humanoids. After a few minutes of silence, the three-meter-tall armor seemed to come back to life, ushering in new life from the ancient, the dull engine began to spin, and a huge amount of steam burst out. Under the light of white and yellow lights, it is like a god descending from heaven.
And the data is like a frying pan, updated rapidly, so that everyone has no intention of watching the miracle anymore and devotes themselves to the report.
"Report! The microcurrent continues to be stable, the neural network is successfully connected, and the synchronization deviation is stable at about %0.1! ”
"Report! In the normal operation of the black water regulation and balance system, the black water has been successfully inhibited activity! ”
"Report! Health traits are back to normal values! ”
"Report! The integrated armor has been successfully injected with neurotransmitters, and the adaptation phase can begin! ”
"Alright, acclimatization," Dr. Hagel said, turning on the speaker to the three-meter giant below, "how does our knight feel?" ”
“。。。” The armor didn't say anything, just spewed a huge amount of steam again in response.
Dr. Hegl began to give commands, and the knight began testing the object with Dr. Hegel's instructions, and the experimenter began recording data.
I opened my eyes and found that the place I was in was a typical Nanloya-style living room, and I touched the table made of white forest wood in the center, and a familiar and unfamiliar feeling welled up in my heart. Just as I was stunned, a door opened. A butler dressed as a waiter approached. However, she was a little different from the butler I knew, at least she was much more reliable than the butler seemed to be. If the butler is an emerging internal combustion engine, then the butler who came at this time is the Bavarian steam engine that is named after the whole continent.
"You shouldn't have come, Xin, though it's not your fault." She didn't speak mechanically like a butler, but with a worried face, and of course, an inverted sentence was very similar to that of a butler. I was a little surprised, and she seemed to see my surprise, and she led me to the table. But it doesn't explain anything.
This is really like a housekeeper, you have to think about everything for yourself.
"Sit down here." After saying that, the housekeeper left, leaving me alone and puzzled. First of all, how can you say that the door is gone? Where did the housekeeper go? ...
I don't know, but I'm shocked, what the hell is this place?
I wanted to find out, but I restrained myself.
"What happened?" Aishuur said to the five-year-old boy in front of him.
The five-year-old boy looked very similar to Kimchi, except that his hair color and pupil color were somewhat different.
"What else could there be, what kind of thing is called the Unity Ritual." The five-year-old boy replied helplessly.
"You didn't stop it?"
"How can I stop it," said the five-year-old boy with some annoyance, "what can I do if that madman named Hegel throws money at it and forcibly turns on the switch?" The five-year-old boy looked at Ashur.
"Lady Aishuur, please remember that I am dead, and I can't do anything but help Kimchi strengthen his will."
"We can only watch this so-called unification ritual continue. However, don't worry, this doesn't hurt Kimchi much, but for you, Ms. Aishuur, it hurts a lot. ”
“。。。 I don't care, as long as it doesn't hurt Kimchi. Aishuur said indifferently
"Alas, I thought we would have fought to the death at the beginning, but I really didn't expect to be able to talk like this today."
“。。。 So, do you think my tone is wrong?" said Eschuur.
"No, I mean to say, don't take yourself too seriously."
“。。。 You don't need to care. ”
"I don't care, do I let that little fool of Kimchi take care of it? Just kidding, he can't even take care of himself. ”
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'm dead, Lady Eschuur, and I don't want you to be like me that day."
"Before I die, I will train the next generation of Candle Shadow Knights to protect and care for him...
"No, no, no. The important thing is that you can't just leave Kimchi behind, you know? It can't be like this. He can't live without you, get it? ”
"No, you don't need to worry about it." Feeling a little distraught, Ashur fled the place.
"Alas, what a couple." The five-year-old boy said, "How could it be so easy to get married?" ”
He said something very oriental and tidyed up the mess here, but it seemed that it would not be possible to clean it up in tens of thousands of years, after all, it was only a five-year-old boy.
"The adaptation phase was successfully completed." Dr. Haigl wiped the sweat from his forehead, and all the experimenters breathed a sigh of relief, and even two of the researchers had already begun to discuss going to the tavern for a night of fooling around, and Dr. Haigel, who was usually strict with himself and others, did not stop them.
"Get moving! Revert everything to me! From 10 minutes onwards, every moment and every second had to be paid for the electricity bill out of my own pocket! Hey, who's going to let me spend money... Before Dr. Heigl could finish speaking, the researcher, who had just been lazy, immediately moved, the steam engine began to roar, and the Holy Seminary was bustling. Dr. Haigl looked at his hard-working subordinates with relief, ready to sit down and quench their thirst with a brewed but already cold black tea. At this moment, there was a sudden explosion, and the alloy manganese steel of the Holy Convent was destroyed by half a meter thick, a large amount of dust and mist, metal residue and a large amount of steam were mixed together, and the extraction system also suddenly stopped, causing the observation room to be unable to see what was happening in the central rotunda at all. The experimenters were a little flustered.
Dr. Hagel immediately stood up, looking at the iron door at the other end of the observation room with a grim face, as if something vicious would come out of nowhere. Then the door was opened, and a man in a black military uniform with gold patterns, a height of more than one meter and nine, and some gray hair, walked in, followed by several middle-aged men who were also dressed and a group of soldiers armed with firearms.
"Rundstein!" Dr. Haigl viciously slammed his hand into the control platform, blood pouring out of his white-bandaged hand again. Apparently, though, Dr. Heigl was so angry that he forgot the pain in his hand.
"Don't get excited about Haigl, young man, don't be so angry." Rundstein looked understanding, as if all this was like a mentoring from a senior to a junior. But Heigl used his stiff face and trembling whole body to break the atmosphere that Rundstein had created.
"It's just a small accident, we're doing an experiment with neural connections next door... Before he could finish, Heigl interrupted him.
"Nerve connection? Old thing, can you make a draft before making up the reason, we are not a tavern here, not a place for you to talk big. Speak logically, I think what you said at your relative's funeral seems to be more logical than this, is it only when your relative dies that your hopeless brain can turn? ”
"Dr. Haigl!" Rundstein's face sank, and although he knew what kind of person Dr. Heiger was, he was still troubled by the fact that he had experienced it himself.
It is said that when he was young, he was so angry with his speech at the council of the apostles that several of the apostles were rushed to be healed.
"Oh, I'm angry, I don't see you've ever been so excited at your mother's funeral, aren't you...
"Dr. Heigl! Sooner or later, you're going to be out of luck! When the day comes, you will regret what you said today, and it will be only then that the sinners will understand what shame is when the light of God shines on every place shrouded in shadows from the nine heavens. ”
The two of them continued to utter filth, and the other read the words of the canon like a bishop. This kind of quarrel obviously made the others present feel uncomfortable, besides, one of them was an absolute high-ranking member of the current Holy Kingdom's military department, and the other was a top scholar of the Holy Kingdom. The subordinates could only try their best to control their expressions and look at each other seriously. Perhaps the subordinates on both sides have sympathetic eyes.
"Vetels. Heigl! ”
"Henry. FENG De. Rundstein! ”
The two continued to look at each other, and if their eyes were their own swords, then sparks would have already scattered between the two. The subordinates on both sides slowly got used to the cross-dimensional quarrels between the two. The experimenters continued to observe and record the data, while the guards stood in solemnity.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally let go of their gaze, but the dust was too thick to see the round hall, and they could only hear the sound of two different steam engines, and the two people in the garden hall seemed to be looking at each other.
"Is it the latest Saint Vailer Type IV? Are you using the Battle Angel III? Dr. Heigl asked.
"It seems that you are still at the forefront of your activities all these years, so I will say how can those apostles hide you? Even I'm new to it, and you're familiar with the sound of it running. Rundstein said.
The Battle Angel No. 3 is the proud work of the conquest agency, the operation efficiency is much higher than its predecessors, coupled with the help of the backing, the experimental assembly line that was quickly formed makes the No. 3 machine in the initial production speed of the results very impressive, is a perfect war consumable.
Dr. Heigl was silent for a moment before responding,
"So what are you doing with your Holy Fellers? Die? ”
"Let's face it, Heigl, what kind of steam engine does the Knight of Unity and Peace use down there? It seems to be the Shengxiu III machine that was eliminated ten years ago. It was a one-sided matchup. Rundstein shot back.
Dr. Heigl was silent again, not because he was worried that the child below would be defeated, that was his last hope, how could he not have taken into account the small but possible accident of such a chance. But there were some things he could think about. When Rundstein saw that Dr. Heigl had stopped arguing with him, he could finally take a breath of relief. Communicating with Haigl is really a life-saving thing. And he also needs to hide some information in the conversation, which makes it even more nerve-wracking. Old, old, he wants that this country will eventually belong to these new generations.
Eschuur entered the room, and through the built-in surveillance window, she saw the inside of the room and the door that was about to be opened. But the strange thing is that everything seems to be frozen except for her.
It seems that his consciousness is getting worse and worse, Aishu Youer thought silently with some self-deprecation. Even a voyage to the Sea of Consciousness is so unbearable.
She opened her right arm, which looked like a real person and turned out to be a delicate instrument. Countless tiny cracks appeared on the arm, and the exterior began to open, revealing a structure inside that would have taken the breath of any master craftsman. Small, grain-like devices began to work, and soon the shape of the arm disappeared, and the entire forearm slowly formed a circle.
A complex clock has appeared, with countless tiny parts that give it an exceptionally accurate time. The device under the clock is moving fast. She began to operate the clock. Soon she was in sync with the time of the place. Slowly descend from high speed to normal speed.
The door was opened and closed again. She saw Kimchi entering, and prepared to leave the room.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to make a fuss, just let your driver lie in the hospital for the rally." Rundstein said, but Heigl felt that he was speaking only to anyone else who was present.
So, he smiled and said, "Oh? You don't want to kill someone? Then you can dissuade that guy below. ”
"What do you mean?" Rundstein said with a frown, and he suddenly felt that things seemed to be a little different.
"You don't really think that the Unified Knight Technique is just mobile armor?"
"Isn't it? If it weren't for the hard metal of a mechanical creation made of relic metal, how would your Knights of Unity be different from ours? ”
"Ha, have you heard of the Nayatipu project? Every Unification Knight needs to be done. ”
"What!? You guys... How dare you ... No, I mean the accident ... How dare you use that kind of thing!? That's a taboo! ”
"Haha, do you know why the number of uses of the second-generation knight has increased?"
This time, rondstein frowned. A feeling of uneasiness invaded him.
"Pray for the Holy Vailers below."
There was an earthquake. It's a pretty obvious thing. The teacup I was holding steadily, like a broken egg, shattered to the ground, and it hurt my heart, and if it wasn't a dream, I don't know how long I would have been taught by the butler. In this room where there is no concept of time, it feels like the whole person is melting.
Just as I was thinking about getting up and cleaning up that pile of tragedy, a door suddenly appeared, and the butler rushed in from it, with a serious face. I was stunned by her cold expression. Before I could react, she dragged me into a room with one hand and said, "Stay." Then he hurried away again.
I looked at the room. It was a high-defense safe house, much smaller than it looked from the outside, presumably filled with something in the walls. There was a window with a metal sheath, a steam engine connected to a ventilation duct, and a mechanism of unknown purpose.
There was a loud bang outside the door, incessantly, as if it were under simultaneous attack from the cannons of all nations, but the room was unexpectedly calm.
Now that I'm so free, I can't do anything.
I don't know how long it took, but I gradually felt a blur in front of me.
Then, only endless darkness remains.
As the Templar's driver, Eric was told not to kill the novice driver in front of him. I thought it was an ordinary task, but, obviously, he miscalculated. The old machine is incredibly nimble, and Eric quickly changes his mindset and is fully committed to the storms of this "newbie". Both sides use everything around them to attack each other. However, it tacitly did not launch a lethal attack on the other side. Eric doesn't know why.
Soon, Eric fell into the disadvantage, and in the face of the seemingly endless physical strength of the "novice", he was a little skeptical that he was abandoned by the military department.
When the observation room was able to see the situation in the central rotunda, everyone except Dr. Heiger and Rundstein showed no obvious changes, and the rest of them showed extremely shocked expressions. In front of them appeared a rotunda of rotunda, where the flames were burning and expanding, and the fuel depots of countless steam engines were burning and exploding. A three-meter-tall, scarred armor stood silently, and if it weren't for the black smoke engine behind it, it would have been mistaken for a sculpture. Not far from it, there was a four-meter-tall machine covered in metal brackets, and its belly was bleeding dark red liquid, and the whole machine became very deformed, as if it had been hit by a steam locomotive.
Heigl drank vodka as he watched as Rundstein and his men worked hard to rescue the Templars and deal with the chaos in the central rotunda. It's really unhappy, since you said it was an accident, then I'll treat it as an accident.
"Report! The subject's vital characteristics are rapidly decreasing, and it is expected to return to normal values in half a minute, and to the critical level of shock after forty seconds! One researcher said, "Doctor, I think we should do something about it. ”
"Don't worry, our knight is still cooling," Haigl shook his glass, his face a little red, "since the arrival of the god, everything in the world seems to come to life, and when it comes to the darkness, the darkness is dispelled... ”
Apparently, Haigl was going crazy again. Some of the older researchers can only explain to the newcomers what the cooldown phase of the Unified Knight is. As for Dr. Hegel's madness, they whispered to the newcomer to pretend not to see or hear.
In countless experiments, at the cost of his life, the former Holy Seminary found that every time the Unified Knight was shut down, he had to be given a certain cooldown time, otherwise it could lead to the death of the pilot.
Looking down at the recorded data, Haigl stopped freely combining the canons and frowned slightly. In the past minute, the ten-year-old's vital signs have risen to four times the level of an adult like a drunken self and have remained high, the Holy Monk II steam engine, once one of the masterpieces of the Holy Seminary, is special in that it can withstand full load for four minutes without stopping, which can often determine the victory or defeat of a battle. And now it was completely damaged in less than a minute after being used by such a monster. I really don't know what kind of monster is inside.
When a special chronograph machine sounded, Dr. Heiger drank the vodka in one gulp.
"The alternation of twilight and eternal night, God said. Guys move! Hurry up and get our big hero out of the way."
Following Haigel's order, the experimenters ran down the reasonably intact staircase, from the observation room to the garden hall, to the three-meter-high machine. Dr. Heiger was in the observation room sorting through the data with a few researchers. The paramedics, with the help of technicians, removed the driver from the armor.
A reddened child was dragged out of it. He was steaming and was already in a state of severe dehydration, and the paramedics had to rush to insert a rehydrated straw into his mouth, who instinctively began to drink.
The child was clearly lacking more than just water, and the nutrient solution was quickly injected into his body.
Dr. Haigl was not too concerned about the child's condition. Just kidding, if he would be in a near-death state at this point, he doesn't deserve to be called a gray-eyed qualified.
Awakened from a deep slumber. I squinted slightly, not knowing when or where it was, and when I opened it, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. The pain all over my body made me take a breath of cold air. I lay in bed and tried to go back to sleep, but the lively sunlight through the window kept me from sleeping.
I tried to recall what happened yesterday, but the pain from my brain stopped me from thinking. Bored, I looked to the side.
The silver hair was gilded by the sun, fluttering wantonly in the wind, and the curtains made of white gauze made them loom, like an ancient oriental dance, full of a hazy beauty of smoke and rain all over the south of the Yangtze River. The Victorian black trench coat reflects it all. It is the darkness of the night, without which there is no shining of the stars. She seemed to turn her head to look at me, her golden and silver hair dancing like thousands of dancers dancing at the same time, and her obsidian-like pupils reflected my face. The fair face is her red lips become a little bewitching.
Oh, it's not a housekeeper, a little lost.
"Hey, old fellow! The boy came back to life. Her voice was as clear and agile as the melting snow on a spring day, and her tone was a little quirky. This makes me reaffirm that she is not a housekeeper. So who is she? It feels like the identity of the person who can make Dr. Hegel tolerate others calling him old stuff can only be one ... Damn old ghost, how can he have such a daughter!
After a while, Dr. Heiger, whom she called the old thing, came in.
"How does it feel, little one? Hey, do you know how long you've been asleep? Three days and three nights, my God, the Lord of Spirits is here to death in a hurry. "Dr. Hager asked me carefully about my physical condition, and it looked like my father's, but some of the questions he asked were a little abnormal. This touched me and warmed me a little, the doctor turned out to be a good person.
"Is it really okay? I've bought you a lot of insurance, and I've spent a lot of money on it! If you have any questions, be sure to let me know! ”
I take back my words, although I don't know what kind of insurance he buys, and whether he can buy the insurance of the insurance companies of the capitalists outside as the head of the Holy Convent. But this inhumane exploitation of all the value of employees is simply a vampire among vampires! An ogre who doesn't choose to eat when hungry and doesn't spit out a single bone!
"Your uncle will come later, cheer up." Haigl looked at his pocket watch, "It won't be long." ”
"Uncle?" I couldn't help but ask, a little surprised, "My uncle?" ”
"The man who sent you, Ludwig. Eldridge, Your Excellency Bishop. Let's feel free to ask when we see you! If you have a good relationship with the bishop, you may be able to get a sum of money to buy wine again. ”
That's enough! Can this kind of person who embezzles the wages of the state not speak out so blatantly about his despicable deeds!
"Eh, your uncle is the Bishop." The silver-haired girl asked, "Aren't you... ”
"Shhhh Kirsten! Dr. Hagel quickly stopped the girl from continuing.
I really didn't expect that Dr. Heigl also had times when he was afraid of others. I almost burst out laughing.
"Ah, I know, I know, what kind of secret is it? It's okay, I've got it anyway. The girl known as Kirsten spread her hands and looked at me with some curiosity
"My Spirit Lord, auntie, don't speak out! Otherwise, I will be deducted money, maybe that person is unhappy, I will even lose my job, how can I support you as a lady if I lose my job. Dr. Heigl complained like a man in a midlife crisis. His acting skills almost made me believe that he was really a hard-working person, and he relied on himself to pull the child to grow up.
"What does that have to do with me, besides, when will you be able to settle my living expenses, be careful that I will take you to court again." Kirsten said.
"I'm your guardian! Your Royal Highness the Adopted Daughter! Be considerate and considerate of your old adoptive father, I can't live without wine, and I can't lose my job. Dr. Haigl said bitterly like a parent of a naughty child, if it weren't for the hospital's ban on all loud noises, I think Dr. Haigl might have really knelt on the ground and asked why the sky was so ruthless, and then wept out with his skillful acting, so that the listener wept and the listener grieved.
So... Kirsten turned out to be his adopted daughter. I'll just say, how could a demon have such a lovely daughter... Wait, that seems a little wrong? Can the demon's adopted daughter be described as cute?
"Alright, alright, my old father." Kirsten looked at Dr. Heigl with disdain.
Should I say, is she Dr. Haigl's adopted daughter, or is she a girl who is exactly like Haigl?
"Okay, let's go out first, take care." With that, Kirsten walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, and Dr. Heigl followed like a squire.
It seems that only the girl named Kirsten can restrain Dr. Heiger. It's a beautiful day too.
Ludwig came to the ward shortly after they had left Heiger, and he didn't say anything, but just took a look at my condition, asked his subordinates and the attending doctor to say something, and asked the guards to take me away.
Of course, the white patient's clothes had to be changed before leaving. With the help of the soldiers, I began to change into a dress with some difficulty.
Are we going somewhere we need to travel in formal attire?
The rough manipulation of the soldiers made the wounds on my body ache faintly, and looking at their cold faces, I didn't dare to scream, so I could only grit my teeth and exhale hissedly.
When I walked out of the hospital and looked back, it was a typical Medel building. Medel was a master artist, and all Medel buildings were designed by the master himself. This is one of the four classic architectural forms of Middle-earth, the others being Leklevsky, Christopher, and Lauder Lau Keffy.
In this way, it must be that this hospital has been around for hundreds of years, and it has a very deep heritage. A hospital that can be designed by the once-in-a-century genius Master Medel himself cannot be simply a hospital.
Its administrators and the financial resources and power it possess must be among the highest in the Holy Kingdom.
Its name seems to be "Mount Elizabeth Hospital"? For some reason, I'm a little creepy, and the name seems to reveal unspeakable horror. But I don't see anything unusual about the people who come in and out.
Is it my hallucination?
