Chapter Twenty-Four: The New Book Update is in Progress
"Crackling ......"
The repetitive and boring sound of keyboard tapping is accompanied by the computer screen, the birth of a story,
Lines of words and descriptions outline a novel world, and at the same time, they gradually fill the blank pages of the newly opened chapters on the codeword software.
Ji Zhuo coded words in front of the computer,
Next to the window the sun is slanting in the west,
The swaying sunlight reflected on the roofs of tall buildings in the distance, reflecting on the reflective glass.
also passed through the close, the gap in the dense branches and leaves in the community, and fell to the ground,
Reflected in the window, reflected at Ji Zhuo's feet.
Ji is clumsy in the code word.
Seriously.
Having learned from the experience of the last failure,
He didn't put any more moths on the text,
Anyway, the upper limit of his attributes is here, so it is better to write it well, so as not to be self-defeating.
Of course, the most important thing is that the choice of subject matter this time is enough to drive away most readers,
doesn't need him to do anything about the plot,
It's also a good reader of this niche theme.
On a computer screen,
Ji Zhuo then wrote down the five chapters that had been released,
The previous five chapters of the plot wrote that the protagonist archaeologist Howard because of his previous archaeological experience,
Joined the Night's Watch of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, also known as the Tungsten Order.
This organization is mainly responsible for the handling of special events and transcendental events in the diocese of the Church of the God of Steam Machines.
It will also recruit some people who have been in contact with the transcendent event and have not died.
It is with this that the protagonist Howard joins the Night's Watch,
At the same time, the bearded and scruffy man who led him into the Night's Watch organization also revealed a corner of the true face of the world for Howard.
It's a chaotic and dangerous, disorderly, even absurd world.
There are people with extraordinary abilities who have been polluted by contact with evil gods,
There are also things related to evil gods, and even those unspeakable great beings, which may allow people to gain some dangerous abilities, and at the same time produce some dangerous side effects.
Man is too weak to withstand the great power of the Great Being,
So it will collapse, it will go crazy, it will be aberration, it will die, all kinds of weird and weird phenomena will happen.
Further down the plot,
Nature still revolves around the protagonist Howard,
After joining the Night's Watch again,
Howard was given a meditation method, which was a more refined version of the meditation method that Lampton had him do in the previous chapter.
The only effect seems to be to strengthen his spirit, and to maintain his fragile consciousness and reason as much as possible under various shocks.
But the power to fight against the evil gods can only be the remnants of your great existence, a reflection.
Therefore, Howard, like other night watchmen, can only use other evil gods or the power of some existence to fight against some special events.
After joining the Night's Watch organization,
In addition to getting the meditation method, Howard also based on Ampton's advice and his own thoughts,
Choose two spells, which are also extraordinary items that the Night's Watch has ever obtained,
It's just that the side effects are relatively small and the requirements are low, so they are reserved for the night watchman to fight other vicious and transcendent events.
After getting these two spells, Howard found that saying that they were spells was more like two prayers to unknown gods or gods.
There are side effects when used at the same time.
One is that after chanting and performing according to the ritual, it can restore the injuries on the body, improve the resistance to some transcendent pollution, and resist the transcendent damage.
The ritual is simple, the prayer is only two or three sentences, and there is no need for a medium, or when you are injured, the blood from the wound on your body is the medium.
But with use, there will be some intense pain.
If you don't get used to it in battle, you may lose your ability to resist.
So Ampton told him to get used to it himself.
The other is a spell that releases flames.
But the side effect is that the flames are released from your hand, and your hand may be burned to a certain extent,
Most crucially, it can affect your mood and make you more likely to become angry and irritable, and if you don't pay attention, you will lose your mind.
In the end, he burned himself to ashes.
Then Howard tried to use these two spells,
found that after using these two spells, he didn't feel too uncomfortable.
After reciting the mantra to recover from the injuries on his body, he didn't feel so painful, and the pain was bearable.
The spell that released the flames was not too much affected by Howard's sanity, he just felt a little irritable.
But at the same time, he also seemed to feel the faint sound of the previous whisper in his mind.
This feeling,
It seemed as if he had been marked by a greater being, and these lower prayers were directed at the object, and they did not dare to provoke him?
Maybe this is a fox and a fake tiger?
It took a little more space,
Allowing Howard to obtain these two abilities also reveals some of the effects of Howard's special abilities - using that whisper to reduce some of the side effects of borrowing the power of other great beings.
Then, Ji Zhuo continued to write,
Continuing the plot,
It took some space,
A brief description of Morley University, where Howard Down, worked.
Morley University adopts a system of only one full professor per department.
Therefore, Huo Dehua, an associate professor who is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, is already an achievement.
At the same time, it also introduces the Association of Archaeologists of the Kingdom of Lancy, which Huo Dehua joined.
This time, Howard also vaguely discovered that the Archaeologists' Guild also has some mysterious places, and perhaps some people who have mysterious powers, such as the Night Watch.
The main purpose of describing these is to let readers have a clear and intuitive understanding of the world.
At the same time, it is also convenient for the development of the follow-up plot.
Then, when Howard came to the place where the Night's Watch was stationed,
found that Ampton, who was the captain, was looking for him again,
Because in a previous attack on the crazy activities of a certain evil god organization,
Got something like a badge, which seems to be an antiquity,
The leader of the evil god organization was still frantically holding in his hands before he died, and kept praying.
The Night's Watch suspects something to do with an evil god.
But it was impossible to determine the function of this badge, but as soon as Ampton got closer, he felt a strong palpitation and a feeling of confusion,
This time, I asked Howard to come over to borrow his expertise to see when this belonged to something, so as to judge what period of time this was.
Howard followed Ampton to see,
But before he got closer, he felt a whisper in his head,
It constantly stimulated his nerves, challenged his reason, and seemed to be roaring in his head, much more than when he had cast the spell before.
This dangerous reaction made Howard only look at it from a distance for a few ends,
I saw a badge engraved with a strange and distorted pattern, made of a few jumbled lines.
There seems to be an inexplicable divine power, which makes him just look at it from afar, and his consciousness is deeply immersed in it, and he can't extricate himself and move forward.
In the end, it was the whispering stimulation in his mind that made him wake up again, and hurriedly turned his head,
Missing the discovery, captain Ampton is next to him,
Just like when he was introduced to the real corner of this world before, one eye is scarlet and fanatical, and the other eye is cold,
Looking at him.
At last
Howard only made a cursory judgment that this badge might be a remnant of the previous era, and it might be related to some churches of the previous era, so he left in a hurry.
“…… Whew......"
"Crackling ......"
Ji Zhuo let out a long sigh at the few chapters full of chapters on the computer,
Today, three more chapters have been coded, and the plot flow of "Revival Cthulhu" has been written here,
It was already dark outside.
