Chapter 16: The Other
Bonova Gustav, the second son of Brother Huang Tao...... Loyal angel of the god of steam and machines. Klein looked at Benova, who looked calm, and took Audrey, and her figure completely disappeared.
After Crane disappeared in place, Bonova was silent for a moment, and pushed back the cabinet that Crane had just opened. He stood still, praying slowly to the god of steam and machine.
“…… I've got your message across. Lord, what do you mean ......"
There was a little more surprise on Bonova's face, and he nodded slowly: "I will pay attention to communicating with the 'world'." ”
He stood there, frowning—the most emotion He could express, His divinity far outstripped his own humanity. After a few more moments, He spoke, as if speaking to himself:
"What does the 'world' and the 'fool' have to do with the father?"
"Lord, I still haven't figured out why I have an extra uncle?"
He nodded, and his form slowly dissipated in place.
……
"That was ...... just now"
"That's Bonova Gustav, Rosell's son and Bernadette's brother." Crane frowned slightly: "He is also the favored person of the god of steam and machines, his most loyal angel......"
"The angels of the god of steam are on the front lines of your investigation? That means ...... The god of steam and machines wants you to be able to investigate something? ”
Audrey and Klein were shuttling quickly through the spirit world together, and she subconsciously asked. There was a vague guess in her heart, and Crane, who was beside her, frowned:
"I can't say for sure, but it seems likely right now."
Judging from the previous actions of the high-dimensional overlooking person quietly taking the authority of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" in his hand, the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" is probably kneeling at the speed of light, but it is useless.
Later, Crane entered the astral plane to check it out, and found that the kingdom of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" had been destroyed by the Lord of the Storm, and with it, the Lord of the Storm temporarily closed himself and the disappearance of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" - to be honest, if this matter had nothing to do with the high-dimensional overlooker, Crane didn't believe it very much.
It is likely that the god of steam gave up his illusions after discovering that the god of knowledge, who is also a righteous god, did not get any good ending after offering his loyalty, and decided to fight to the end with the gods of his neighboring paths and the high-dimensional seekers who were the gods of truth.
However, it seems that the god of steam is obviously not in a very good state, and he has now sent a friendly signal to himself, the king of angels, who is an ally of the god of truth and is competing with Amon for the position of the lord of mystery - it can be seen that the god of steam does not trust Amun even more, but now this step has obviously been forced to a situation where there is no way.
The story of "The Sheep is Coming" is really philosophical, and the methods used by Gao Wei have no effect the second time...... But why did He kill the God of Knowledge? It doesn't seem like there's a problem with it...... Crane shook his head slowly, and led Audrey beside him out of the spirit world and returned to reality.
Klein appeared on the corner of the street with Audrey, and the figures of the two coincided with the doppelganger of the two just now - after returning to reality, Audrey looked up at Klein:
"Then the information just now was also handed over to us by this god himself? But why did He do any more? ”
"It's a common practice between the gods." Klein spoke: "Although the signal expressed in this way is pure and obvious temptation, it can effectively guard against the intrigues between some gods - just like when the goddess and Adam cooperated, the two were also tempted in this way. ”
"Huh?"
Collaboration of the Goddess and Adam...... Audrey's mouth grew open, resembling the Huh cat.
However, Klein was obviously not prepared to say more, he just shook his head slightly: "Let's find a place to live first, if nothing else, the attitude and information that this god wants to express are hidden in the information we found just now." ”
"The gods' plans often start very early, and he just expressed his intention to cooperate with us, so there must not be too much interference in the information we get - after all, the god of steam and machines is in a very bad state now, and he doesn't have much time."
Audrey nodded, and continued to walk ahead with Crane. But Audrey couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. World, why don't you look nervous at all?"
It was the gods who came to seek cooperation...... Audrey thought to herself.
Klein turned around and said to Audrey with a smile:
"Why be nervous? Just because it's a god who has come to work with us? ”
"Audrey, we are Mr. Fool's agents on earth, and we represent Mr. Fool. In cooperation with the gods, we are to be respectful and humble, but we must not be too humble: we are equal in our cooperation. ”
After spending a little money on "Mr. Fool's Favorite's Activities", the two sat down at a table in a hotel room, and Klein snapped his fingers lightly, making the light on the table brighter.
It's a small wish, a miracle power. It's not scientific, but it's mystical, and although darkness doesn't affect the vision of mythical creatures, it's better to be in a bright environment than in dim light.
Crane spread out the paper in front of him—he flicked his fingers at the compressed file he had just made, but as if by magic, many copies were separated from the thin sheet of paper and turned into a thick pile of material.
"That's a lot...... Klein sighed slightly, and suddenly had some illusion of working on the data at his desk.
"I'll take care of some of it?" Audrey held out her hand and asked Klein, she probably knew what to look for, after all, it was Audrey's plan to investigate from the source.
"Okay."
Crane wasn't polite, he just pulled out a historical projection from his side - it was a blackboard: "If you find anything just write it on it - let's see what the god of steam and machinery is hiding in this." ”
Crane's back stretched out a few tentacles that radiated starlight, attracting Audrey's frequent sideways glances. These tentacles are so beautiful, like some kind of beautiful creature swimming in the sea of hearts, shining and dreamy.
I don't know what kind of touch such a tentacle feels, well, it feels like a burnt glass...... Audrey was a little cranky at first, but soon she turned her attention back to working on the file, carefully extracting all sorts of useful information from it.
Power line and electric heating equipment manufacturing plants......
Life Maintenance Systems Research Institute, Advanced Materials Project......
Drawings of the construction of the astral observatory and the Institute of Physics......
While flipping through the materials, Klein felt that some of the words did not fit the cognition of the humans of this era - just as people who have not understood the current science cannot understand what a "spaceship" is, and if the people of this era want to break away from the gravitational pull of the earth, they can only use extraordinary abilities or make explosive feats to fly into the sky.
However, there are still many extraordinary people in this world who can fly with the help of the propulsion of the explosion, and Fusak has also developed the airship - but the technology content of the airship is not high, and when the third-generation difference machine has not been built, many of the materials in the airship are forcibly made with extraordinary power.
But some of the materials are too obvious, and the means of making them are primitive steam and machinery, which is as comical as making a long-range guided missile out of wood......
Klein used the "Source Castle" to attach the ability of "Decryption Scholar" to himself, and suddenly the knowledge of the pre-civilization penetrated through Klein's heart:
These things are all pointing to the technology that makes the parts and components of the "manned rocket"!
"That's not right."
Klein opened his mouth and said, "Audrey, if one ...... Well, if a person has never seen the sun and lives in eternal darkness, can they recognize that it is the sun? ”
"Or can people who don't know that this world is round recognize that it is a 'star' similar to the planet under our feet?"
"I can't." Audrey thought for a moment, then replied, "They only think it's a big ball of fire that radiates light and heat, or a torch that's too close to them." In any case, it won't be the 'sun'. ”
After saying this, she asked Klein with some doubts:
'What's wrong with that?' Mr. World'? ”
"Absolutely." Klein looked calm: "The direction of these things is too clear. ”
Audrey tilted her head, indicating that she didn't understand - it dawned on Klein that Audrey also had no modern science education and couldn't find the common ground between these things.
"As in the example I gave you earlier, people who don't know the sun can't tell that the big ball of fire that is bubbling with light and heat is the sun. Although science education is being promoted to a certain extent in various places, it is clear that it has not developed to this point—"
Klein said word by word: "They want to leave the earth and enter the ...... without prior 'cognition' Astral Plane. ”
"Into the astral plane?" Audrey was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that the abode of the gods?" Will they be able to get there? ”
"No, it's just a metaphor." Crane pointed to the sky, "They want to go to heaven, and it's common for the people of the Steam Church to push for it. If nothing else, the Church of Steam, the Church of Steam, will launch a joint effort to develop machines that will allow humans to break free from the constraints of the earth and enter the heavens. ”
Heavenly...... Audrey thought of something, but the next moment a gray mist appeared in front of her, making Audrey unable to perceive what she had just thought.
But such a scene also made her face change slightly: "Mr. 'World', what do you mean ......"
"That's dangerous pollution." Klein looked serious: "They are changing the faith of the Church of Steam, and now the people of all Trier believe that electricity is a gift from the god of steam and machinery, and the god of steam is rushing to the stars-"
"These group's experiments are bound to fail, but what the people behind it need is not to let humans rush into the stars, which are heavily polluted."
Audrey felt like she was left with only a gray mist in front of her eyes, and Klein was now speaking closer to talking to herself, after all, Audrey couldn't hear the knowledge that "knew would be polluted".
"He's sending a signal." Klein frowned: "He wants the entire world of steam believers to know that the 'God of Steam and Machines' is rushing to the stars, and the believers' cognition will be fed back to the gods." ”
"When that time comes......"
Crane didn't say the rest of the talk, he knew very well what the gods of steam and machinery would be treated to.
When the believer's cognition is fed back to the gods, the thoughts of the gods will involuntarily be directed to the outer gods who have been prepared for a long time, and the gods of steam and machines will also be polluted by the high-dimensional overlookers.
And the propaganda of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines is useless, and he cannot say what is in the heavens, because the pollution of the starry sky will be polluted as long as it is recognized.
It's a conspiracy...... Klein thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that the plan of the high-dimensional overlooker was impeccable.
The only people who can find the connection between these "pre-technologies" are the remnants of the past.
While the "Emperor" and the "True Creator" are fighting against the invasion of the Outer Gods, the "Goddess of the Night" is sleeping, and now Crane is the only one who can find out about it.
But Crane didn't have to help the god of steam—they didn't have any friendship or alliances. As long as the Higher-Dimensional Lookdown proves that His plan is harmless to Earth, Crane loses his reason to help the God of Steam.
Audrey thought for a moment, and suddenly said:
"No, if that's what you just said......"
"Why does a part of the trade go to Fursac? Intis shouldn't have a trade demand with Fursack, right? ”
Klein frowned and looked at the material that Audrey had brought out. It was indeed written that Fursack had purchased some of the infrastructure materials from Intis, but Klein hadn't noticed it just now.
This is a list of people who have learned the skills of infrastructure - in his opinion, this is the normal process of trade, and the royal family of Vrsack bought the construction technology of Intis.
"No, Mr. 'World', look." Audrey pointed there: "I think that what Fursack is using to trade are 'extraordinary', or rather, I guess these 'technicians' who act as communication and learning are extraordinary. ”
"After the war, the God of War Church deconstructed the technicians of Vösak, and those who had been with the Airship Institute were scattered elsewhere, and a large number of them flowed into Intis and Rune."
Trading Extraordinaire as a Technologist? A slight gray mist appeared around Crane, and he tossed a coin and caught it, and the results of the divination confirmed Audrey's guess to be correct.
"You guessed it right - there are other hidden secrets to this matter, then. In other words, this matter was not only planned by the God of Truth, after all, it involved the fall of another true god who held the essentia (shielded)......"
Crane took a deep breath and turned his head sideways to the door:
"How long are you going to listen? Mr. Gustav? ”
