Chapter 716: The Bell Striker Amon
Darek was somewhat cramped, and although he often saw Miss Justice and them at tarot meetings, they were only able to see their clothes clearly through a layer of gray fog.
And Donna, who was well-dressed, with red lips and white teeth, and a faint fragrance, stood in front of him.
It was the first time he had seen a beautiful young woman in the outside world, and it was the first time he had met a beautiful young woman in the outside world.
Seeing that no one answered, Donna asked again, "Which one is Mr. Derick, please?" ”
Hobart had told her that Mr. Dyric knew Rune.
"I am." Darik cleared his throat and said, "Thank you Mr. Hobart for the send, well, we'...... We have some extraordinary features here that can be ......"
Donna interrupted him with a smile: "The Grand Duke has specially told you that this is a gift to you free of charge. ”
She looked at the big boy in front of her, who was two heads taller than herself and had a very sunny appearance: Is this what Hobart said about the blood of giants? He looks like he's still growing his body, but he's already much taller than Tyron, the tallest of the three of us.
"Thank you." Derrick thanked him again, and then he remembered and explained to Chief Colin in Giant's language, "This is the Creator's dependent...... Well, the angel who helped us open the door to the outside world.
"It's the food and daily necessities that He sent, well, the two gods of the 'Founder' and Mr. Fool are allies, and we are currently in the country where the 'Founder' is located, and the Church of the Fool is the main faith here."
Recently, he has come into contact with people from the Church of the Fool, and he still thinks that the Church of the Fool is the state religion of the country.
Colin nodded, so that everyone did not have to put on a defensive posture, and at the same time asked Candy to take everyone around, while Dyric continued to communicate with the young lady.
Donna introduced the two people beside her: "This is the administrator of Mirhebang, and he has been sending people to bring you daily food for some time now. But you can't give it all the time, and what you send later, you need to pay it back with future output.
"And this one, this is the official Extraordinary Governor of Ranagua, you can find him if you have any extraordinary needs."
Dyric said again, "Thank you." ”
Donna made a gesture of please, and the two of them left the very noisy square together: "How does the city feel?" ”
"Very good."
"This is the city that we spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build for you."
"Thank you, thank you."
Donna smiled slightly, "You remind me of Mr. Dopheus...... Well, you're not the same, Mr. Dophes just doesn't talk much, but you don't seem to be good at words. ”
Derick scratched his head: "yes, um......"
He thought for a moment before saying, "It was while chatting with Mr. Hobart and, oh, Grand Duke Hobart, that I realized that the general education course I had studied had hardly learned adjectives. ”
Donna nodded, following the topic, "Next we will send you a teacher, and you will learn our official language, Rune." ”
After investigating the linguistic composition of the Duchy of South Bailang, Hobert finally adopted Rune as the official language of South Bailang.
The language system of Southern Bailang is very chaotic, and the locals of the southern continent speak Dutan and Highland, both of which have a clear difference in pronunciation from the northern continent languages.
The Dutan language evolved into many dialects, which were incomprehensible to the Dutan of East Bailang and the West Bailang people, and vice versa.
The Dutan language of Mirhebang is also incomprehensible to the people on the other side of the Hagati steppe, and it is difficult to refine the Dutan language that can be used universally.
Moreover, the Highland language is not the same language as Dutan, this language is mainly used by the people of the original Highland Kingdom, that is, the current Star Plateau.
The Highland and Coron counties of the Principality of South Bailang are spoken in the Highland language.
There is also a dialect problem with this language.
So in the end, the more easy-to-learn Rune language was adopted as the official language of the country.
This is due to the fact that Rune's alphabet system is relatively perfect, and there is already a relatively mature grammar learning system, which can be used immediately.
However, Dutan and Highland do not have a unified pronunciation system, and if one of these two languages is used as the official language, the pronunciation system must be reconstructed, and even the font must be reunified.
Another reason for the elimination of these two languages is that they do not have a deep cultural heritage.
If there are a large number of poems and ideological masterpieces written in them, they can also consider helping the locals to renovate them, but only some epics, fables, and so on written in them can be completely replaced by Rune.
Donna continued, "When we are basically able to communicate, adults and children learn separately.
"We will teach your adults how to use modern tools, and we will teach you how to cultivate the crops here, and the only requirement is that you will follow our advice on how to cultivate because of the time of day.
"You'll also be taught how to fish, hunt, and work in the factory, and do you see the big buildings over there? Well, that's a factory for you, and what you produce can be exchanged for our currency, and then use our currency to buy what you need.
"Oh, you can also try to go to the port of Ranagua to look for a job opportunity, and from tomorrow you will be issued documents, and you will both be granted citizenship of South Bailang, but subject to our laws.
"The children are starting to learn the general education of the Principality of South Bailang, we mainly teach grammar, mathematics, geography, humanities and science, and you can set up your own school to educate the rest of the knowledge."
Derik nodded and said, "We will." ”
He believes that the history of Silver City must be written as a textbook, so that future generations can know the history of struggling in the dark.
Consideration should also be given to general education in extraordinary aspects.
Donna simply said directly: "For these construction, education and other help, there are some fees. ”
Derick breathed a sigh of relief: "How are we going to pay for this?" ”
If these are not paid, they will owe the "emperor" a lot of favors.
"I'll ask Archduke Hobart to talk to you about this himself." Donna smiled and said, "Okay, now that we're done, what do you want to eat for your first meal here?" How about I'm going to teach you how about a barbecue?
"Oh, by the way, we also need to have an unimpeded way to communicate, if you feel the need, you can skip the local extraordinaries and officials and contact me directly."
……
After arranging the immigration of Silver City and Moon City, Hobert took advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the next few days and came to his first mausoleum.
The mausoleum is built in a huge cave in the mountain, from which you can see the vast forest outside.
In the huge cave structure with extraordinary arrangement, there is a large pyramid-shaped structure, much smaller than the mausoleum used by George III, but the size of the pyramid is not required for the promotion ceremony, so it is enough to be large.
At this time, the cave was empty, only traces of some workers had lived there.
Outside the pyramid, there is first a chaotic space that can isolate most of the extraordinary information from the outside world, making it difficult for the extraordinary to know the exact location of the place.
There is also a "spiritual barrier" on the outside, which can isolate the perception of spirituality.
However, when you are promoted, you must "dismantle" this spiritual barrier to avoid problems in your communication with the mausoleum.
Step by step, Hobart enters the interior of the pyramid, which is very complex in structure, and all the buildings are reinforced and shielded with extraordinary strength.
Even if an angel entered, it would be difficult to find the location of the "main burial chamber" for a while.
This is the experience that Hobert summed up when he was digging the grave of George III, and the structure of the mausoleum around Beckland at that time was so simple that you could see George III in progress at a glance.
Hobert felt that if his mausoleum structure was so simple, it would be completely disrespectful to his profession in the era of the Common Era.
The mausoleum he designed was like a labyrinth, and it can be said that Klein and Russell were confused when they came.
But for Hobert, there are traces.
Arriving at the location of the "main burial chamber", Hobart sat on the stone chair in the middle, using the ability of "association" to establish a connection with the building little by little.
After Sequence 1, even if there is no connection between the two, they can be connected through extraordinary abilities.
As the connection to the mausoleum deepened, Hobert felt that the mausoleum was taking on a mystical role.
It was a strange feeling, and Hobert couldn't understand the principle, but after establishing enough connections, a part of the anchor that belonged to him was naturally associated with the mausoleum.
And the mausoleum acts like a "signal amplifier", making the anchor stronger and more stable.
It took about two or three hours, and Hobart felt that the connection was almost there.
He took a deep breath and rested.
At this time, Hobert felt that his every move could have a close connection with the mausoleum, and this connection would become deeper and deeper through the action of the anchor.
However, Hobert felt that for the sake of safety, after a while, he still had to "relate" again.
The second time you link, you don't need to be so troublesome, it can be completed in half an hour at most.
After a short rest, Hobert hurried to the next mausoleum.
The interior of the mausoleum is connected by a teleportation array, so that in the event of an accident, the mausoleum can support each other as soon as possible.
When the connection was made with all five mausoleums, it became clear to Hobert's spirituality that this would satisfy the basic conditions for accommodating uniqueness.
But if you want to accommodate uniqueness, you need an opportunity.
At this opportunity, Hobert only had a vague concept, probably to increase the probability of success only after his spirituality and uniqueness reached a certain fit.
Hobert sat on the stone chair and pondered for a moment, feeling that this opportunity should be to create an "order-killing" event.
After all, the core authority of this path is the "shadow of order", that is, "tampering", "chaos" and "distortion", and if one's spirit is more in line with the uniqueness, it should be in the midst of an event that disrupts order.
Hobert thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be a good opportunity to change the duchy to a kingdom.
Strategically, however, Christine has now achieved her promotion by crushing the extraordinary trait obtained by the "0-75" Abraham crown.
And Sharon is preparing for the promotion ceremony with the help of her teacher, and it is estimated that it will take some time to complete the preparations.
Just in case, Hobert asked Archibald to prepare for the promotion, which could be completed in the same way that Santiandro City reappeared in front of the people.
The extraordinary trait of promotion can be obtained by smashing the "0-79" Mystery Curtain to obtain the "Miracle Master" trait.
But Archibald still needs to adjust his form, and he will also have to prepare for a while.
In short, until either Sharon or Archibald is promoted, the Duchy of South Bailang will not make much of a move.
Thinking of this, Hobert let out a sigh of relief and used the teleportation array to go to his sixth mausoleum, since six have already been built, let's establish a connection.
……
Misty Sea, Laxia Island, Emerald Palace.
Bernadette Gustav, with her long chestnut hair, wrote a letter to Hobert.
Then having the "spirit servant" prepare the doughnuts and the improvised altar for herself, Bernadette took the letter and began to summon Hobert's messenger: "I, in my name......"
After the incantation was recited, the candle flame suddenly turned green, and the light of the fire became high, opening an illusory door.
A playful-looking lady dressed in a classical court dress with a ring-shaped jade pendant around her waist walked out of the gate.
Bernadette was slightly stunned: Hobert changed messengers?
It wasn't until Beverly held out her hand that Bernadette delivered the letter to him as if she had reacted suddenly.
Beverly turned and beckoned to the doughnut, three of which had already appeared in his hand, and the messenger ate the donut as he returned to the spirit realm through the illusory gate.
It wasn't until the candle flame became normal that Bernadette realized that the messenger was still the same messenger, but the other party's state seemed to be different.
Instead of dwelling on the courier's question, she put on a coat and unscrewed a silver metal vial, smeared a little emerald green grease from the inside, and spread it evenly on both hands.
Putting away the silver vial, Bernadette grabbed it forward with both palms, and when she pulled her hands back, it seemed as if she had grasped something.
In the next second, a clump of illusory feathers appeared in each of Bernadette's hands, and she quickly disappeared in place, entering the spirit realm, already riding on a spirit creature with a long mouth and two long legs.
The spirit creature, with its illusory wings, sends Bernadette to her destination.
It is an ancient secret art that has been lost, and it is very simple and practical, and Bernadette usually uses this method when going far and wide.
Soon, in the port of Tutuca, Bernadette waits in a bar that she has invested in.
It was still daytime, and there were few drinkers in the bar, so the bartender lazily made a cocktail for Bernadette and then went back to the corner to take a nap.
A minute or two later, Hobart popped up at the bar.
His sudden appearance did not attract anyone's attention.
The letter that Bernadette had just sent was to meet in Jojobert.
Hobert sat next to Bernadette: "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, how are you doing?" ”
As he spoke, He "tampered" with his surroundings so that no one around him could hear them.
"Not so good." Bernadette didn't hide her anxiety: "I've been looking for an opportunity for promotion, but unfortunately I haven't found it. ”
Hobert was slightly stunned: "Wasn't it an opportunity for us to prevent George III from being promoted before?" ”
Bernadette first glanced at Hobart deeply, but felt that it was not too surprising that Hobart knew the ceremony of promotion to "sage".
"Originally, I thought it was an opportunity." Bernadette took a deep breath: "But then I found out that it wasn't. ”
Hobert bowed his head slowly, and then asked, "What do you have in mind when you called me?" ”
"I'm going to go ahead of time to find my father's last mausoleum." After many unsuccessful attempts at promotion, Bernadette finally realized that her dedication to finding her father was the biggest obstacle to promotion.
"Okay then." Hobert took off the dark crystal jade pendant he was carrying: "This is a magical item given to me by the 'founder', which can effectively isolate high-level pollution, so I will lend it to you first."
"I'll also provide you with some help, as long as you inject spirit into this magical object, I will be able to sense your location."
Bernadette was not polite, she put away the magical item: "Thank you." ”
"Based on what I've learned, with your current strength, you shouldn't be able to save your father." Hobert added, "So don't be fooled, and remember to inform me before exploring the last mausoleum."
"Even if my ability is not enough to solve the problem, the 'Founder' will definitely provide some help, but at the cost of obtaining the 'Lantern God' in your hands in the future."
This condition made Bernadette breathe a sigh of relief, and if the "founder" did not offer any conditions, she was not very reassured: "No problem." ”
Hober nodded: "Then, let's go when you're ready." ”
"Hmm."
With that, Hobart got up and left.
Bernadette drank the cocktail in her glass with a wistful sigh before she slammed into her feet and made the final preparations for her voyage back to her Emerald Palace.
……
When the time came in April, the "Fool" sent an oracle to the people of Moon City, informing them that they could pray and make wishes to themselves at the same time to free themselves from physical deformities.
All the people of Mooncity cheered at this, and they guessed that Mister Fool intended to grant their wishes.
After having a new life, they want to become a normal person too much.
So in the early morning prescribed by the "fool", they prayed to the "fool" one after another, and then made a wish.
Above the gray mist, Crane, who sat at the top of the bronze table, watched the prayers of the believers turn into pure points of light in front of him, and then slowly flowed, as if he had become a milky way.
Klein took a deep breath, sensed the anchoring effect of these prayers on himself, and then began to mobilize the "Source Fort", and the invisible power spread rapidly like ripples on the surface of the water, pouring into every point of prayer light, and sprinkled on the body of the people of Moon City.
Every month, the people of the city seemed to feel something, and they raised their hands to touch their faces, they felt that their facial features became normal, and at the same time, they also saw the people around them, and their faces quickly became no different from normal people.
They praised Mr. Fool from the bottom of their hearts, and with their highest standard of etiquette, they saluted in the direction of the Cathedral of Fools.
While~
At this time, throughout the city of Nuevo Lanagua, the melodious bells of the church were heard, as if the "fools" were responding to their praise.
Even hundreds of kilometers away in Angelou, Hobert, who was working in the palace, heard the bell, and he instantly appeared on the roof of the palace, looking out over the city of New Lanagua, and then he suddenly understood what was going on.
Crane the "Fool" above the gray fog was quite stunned and dazed, and the sudden ringing of the bell was not his preset process at all.
He used the light of the prayers of the faithful to see the magnificent church, and in the bell tower at the top, there was a young man wearing a peaked soft hat and a classical black robe.
The young man was striking the bell again and again with a black hammer.
As if sensing a gaze from above, the young man paused and straightened the crystal monocle in his right eye.
"I'm ......," Klein almost exploded.
At this time, he didn't quite understand why the "Angel of Time" Amon suddenly appeared, and was still ringing the bell of his church very seriously?
For the appearance of Amon or Zarathu, Klein was somewhat mentally prepared.
But because of Hobert's rapid support, Silver City also has Level 0 seals, so Crane is not afraid of their arrival.
However, Amon's current behavior has left Klein quite confused.
……
In the Church of the Fool, Archbishop Derick, who is on duty today, also looked at the top in amazement: I didn't arrange for someone to ring the bell!
As a demigod in the solar realm, he has a keen instinct for anomalies and knows that something must be wrong.
As Deric examines his surroundings with the extraordinary powers of the Darkless One, he quickly ponders whether ringing the bell has occult symbolism.
After ruling out one possibility after another, he suddenly remembered the contents of the Fool's Sacred Book compiled by Silver City about ringing the bell.
It is used to describe the relationship between Amun, the "Angel of Time", and Mr. Fool, because he is the "Angel of Time", so Amon is the angel who gathers the congregation, or announces the end of Mass, and sets the time right.
To put it bluntly, it is the angel who rings the bell for the "fool".
Derick, of course, disagrees with that description, and he is quite certain that Amon and the "Fool" are in a state of hostility.
However, the lies he had told before convinced the people of Silver City that the "Angel of Time" had been assigned by Mr. Fool to shed the first light for the people of God's Forsaken Land.
And Derick found that if he explained himself, it was easy to lose a positive image in front of the public, as Miss Justice called "social death".
In the end, he chose to delay, believing that when Mr. Fool saw the holy scriptures, he would definitely send down an oracle and give advice on revisions.
Who knows, Mr. Fool did not say anything, acquiescing to the contents of the holy scriptures.
Could it be that Amun has come to ring the bell? Daerik was in a trance for a moment, thinking that this was too much to be incredible.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly prayed and reported the matter to Mr. Fool.
As soon as he finished his debriefing, Derrick heard another, more melodious and at the same time very comforting bell ringing in mid-air.
He hurried to the outside of the church, but his spirit warned him not to look up, and then the spirit sketched such a scene in his mind: a majestic figure in the middle of the air was hitting a bronze bell that gave people a very heavy feeling.
All the surrounding "loopholes" disappeared, and normal order was restored in an instant.
Amon at the top of the church pouted: "It's great to have the 'Bell of Order'!" ”
