Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters have not stopped
The atmosphere in the study was solemn and solemn. Even Amber, who was the most lively in the past, stood by with a serious look on his face, without any joking.
"This is all we communicated." Gao Wen sat behind the desk, leaning against the back of the chair in a relatively comfortable position, and said to the people in front of him. The "Guardian Shield" was placed on a weapon stand not far behind him.
Under the afterglow of the sunset, everything in the study was covered with a faint orange-yellow light.
"Unbelievable..." The expression on Hetty's face was unprecedentedly solemn, and it was extremely difficult to say a few words. Obviously, it would be quite difficult for the great consul of the empire to quickly organize language after such a big impact on information. "Ancestor, if what the God of Nature said is true, then our understanding of this world..."
"Our understanding of this world, of gods, of demons, of faith, and even of stars in the universe - everything opens a new door," Veronica/Ophelia holds the Platinum Scepter tightly, with a low and serious tone, "We must rejudge the relationship between gods and mortals, and re-understand the planet where we live and the boundless space outside the planet..."
"As mortals, we have very little knowledge, but in the limited truth we know, no part of the content has a clear conflict with the statement of Julu Amoen," Kamier analyzed from the perspective of a scholar how credible the information revealed by the God of Nature was. "I think most of His words are credible."
"Ancestor," Hetty suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Wen, "Do you believe what the 'God of Nature' says?"
"What He said may be true, but I will always remain suspicious," Gowan said bluntly. "A God who can pretend to die for three thousand years is enough to keep us alert to Him forever."
After Gao Wen finished speaking, Hedy opened her mouth, as if she had something to ask, but before she spoke, a fluctuation of breath that seemed to blow through everyone's heart suddenly appeared in the study room. Everyone felt that she had a trance in front of her, and a girl with white hair hanging down to the ground, wearing a simple white long skirt stood suddenly in the center of the study room.
"It's hard for gods to lie," a light and pleasant voice sounded in the study, "or rather, lying has very serious consequences - many lies will try to become the truth, and if it can't become the truth, it will become the 'burden' of the gods. A lie that becomes the burden may take a long time or a painful process to be 'digested'."
Hetty looked at the figure who appeared in the study with some surprise: "Naretir?"
"I invited her here." Gao Wen nodded and pointed to the desk - a magic network terminal was running quietly there. The runes on the terminal base flashed, indicating that it was in a state of quickly exchanging data, but no holographic images appeared above the terminal.
This is because the "data" transmitted through this terminal has become Naretiel, who is standing in the center of the study by his own will. Although this former upper narrator has now lost the halo of gods, he still retains many powers that cannot be understood by mortals. With the support of the magic network system, she can appear in psychological projection anywhere the network can cover and license.
Veronica looked at the former god standing in front of her and frowned slightly: "What do you mean is the words of that god of nature are true?"
"This is just my experience..." Naritiel thought for a while and said seriously, "In my previous 'that world', the rules worked like this, but I don't know if your real world is the same."
"In the realm of gods, the rules should be common," Gao Wen said, "at least there will be no big deviations - otherwise the upper narrators would not have been born in the sandbox."
Naritiel thought for a moment and began to nod.
A former god made an affirmation, and the few people in the room dispelled most of the questions. After all, this "upper narrator" is an expert in the field of gods and the chief consultant of the Imperial Theology Institute. No one knows better how a god works than she.
"So, what we need to be wary of is not whether Amoen is lying, but whether there are any shortcomings and misleading in the truth He tells - there are more than one form of deception, and the scam made with the truth is the most unpredictable thing," Gao Wen said with a serious expression, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the armrest of the seat. "Of course, the premise of all this is that Amoen does have any conspiracy or trap waiting for us. He is indeed sincere and harmless, but..."
"It's just that we can't bet on this," Hetty smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's a god after all..."
"And it is a god who pretended to die in the shadow world for three thousand years, deceived all mortals, deceived the researchers who disobeyed the fortress, and had infinite patience and wisdom..." Carmier said buzzingly, a dark blue glow wandering on the surface of the rune armor on his body, showing his more suppressed and complicated mood. "If a god like this, it will be unimaginable to human intelligence if he wants to plan something."
"This God is in our 'backyard'," Amber, who was always standing next to the window and did not express any insight, suddenly broke the silence. "This is what we should consider most now."
"We cannot move the dark mountains, nor can we move the God of Nature. It is not a good idea to close the door of the Shadow World - not to mention that it is the only shadow portal that can operate stably, more importantly, we are not sure whether the God of Nature still has the strength to reopen the door from the other side of the Shadow World," Hetty shook his head and said with a serious expression. "We cannot move the imperial capital for this. Escape is not a good choice first. Secondly, this impact is huge, and how to explain it to the outside world is also a difficult problem. Finally, the most important point is - whether this is effective is also an unknown. The Shadow World is not like the Shadow World. We know very little about that world. Its mapping relationship with the present world is not stable. What we do in the present world may just be spinning in place in the view of the Shadow World..."
"We didn't have to escape," Gauwen nodded, "A god who was imprisoned in ruins and unable to move, and had been 'fallen' would not be scared that the Cecils moved the capital overnight. The current situation is that the God of Nature survived and was located in the fortress of disobedience is already a fact. He will not leave, nor will we go, so we can only open our eyes-
"Strengthen the monitoring of the fortress of disobedience, and set up more sensors in the portal; set up more mental protection runes and sensory devices in the fortress to monitor whether there are any abnormalities in the fortress; move some facilities from the fortress to several new urban areas, and have developed near the imperial capital, and some production lines that were forced to be set up in the deep mountains can also be moved out..."
He finished giving orders one by one, and finally let out a deep breath.
"The measures we can take now are basically these... Considering that Cecil City has been rooted here for five years and the Disobedient Fortress has been rooted here for thousands of years, Amoen of Julu is still quietly 'waiting', then at least in the short term, we can do this."
Veronica, holding a platinum scepter in her hand, looked over calmly: "So, what about the long term?"
"Long-term..." Gao Wen laughed, "If we still have no way to deal with a confined and weak god after a long period of time, then we don't have to consider any disobedient plan."
"I understand." Veronica nodded, saying that she had no doubts.
Gao Wen sighed softly in his heart.
Is a confined, weak god...
Not long ago, another god had invited him to visit the kingdom ruled and protected by gods. At that time, out of his own actual situation and out of caution, he refused the invitation, but today, he took the initiative to contact a "god" under his nose... There are some adventure behind this bold move, but more importantly, he is more than 90% sure that even the gods of nature will definitely be in a weak state and cannot move at will - at this point, he trusts the power of the "God Slayer".
If Amoen of Julu was not in a state of confinement and had no weakness, then he would have announced that he had moved the capital overnight - this is not a question of whether to be cowardly or not, but a question of whether to be dead or not.
After all, the lessons left by the old imperial capital of the Feng Empire are still vivid in my mind.
Gao Wen was just thinking of the lesson of the old imperial capital of Tifeng, and Amber on the side muttered: "Oh... we joked before that the people of Tifeng hundreds of years ago built Orlandel at the gate of the God of Dreams, and now we are building the capital at the grave of the God of Nature..."
These words were very exquisite, and the study suddenly became silent. Only Hetty could not help but touch Gao Wen's arm after a few seconds, and whispered: "If it were Rebecca, I'd already hung her up..."
Gao Wen didn't speak for a while, but he couldn't help but reflect in his heart: Did he usually teach this empire too much shame?
After arranging a series of monitoring and alert work on the Dark Mountains and the Disobedience Fortress, Heti and Amber left the room first, and then Naretire sank back into the neural network. In the huge study, only Gowen and two disobedients from the Gondor era were left.
The topic quickly turned to the technical field. Veronica said softly with a hint of emotion as if she sighed: "We have a lot of new things to study now..."
"Amoen mentioned something called the 'deep sea'. According to my understanding, it should be part of the underlying order of the world - we have never understood it, but everyone is touching it without realizing it," said Gao Wen. "The deep sea surges in every corner of the world. It seems to be infiltrating everything, and everything in the world is a reflection of the deep sea. At the same time, the mortal thoughts can be reversely reflected into the deep sea, forming a 'unique god'... This is also Amoen's original words, and I think it is quite important intelligence."
"Will He want to "sink" us with a 'knowledge' that is far beyond the understanding of mortals, but it is real?" Carmier said hesitantly. "The 'deep sea' he mentioned may be real, but it sounds too mysterious. We may be trapped in a lot of time and energy for it..."
"However, a researcher cannot refuse this 'temptation'," Veronica glanced at Carmier, "especially this field is helping us uncover the secrets at the bottom of this world."
"…It's true," Carmire paused for a moment and said with a wry smile. "I can't suppress my curiosity... Although this may be a trap, I think I will involuntarily understand and study it."
"We do need to understand and study it," Gao Wen stood up from behind the desk and looked at the two disobedients in front of him. "I have a premonition that this 'deep sea' may be the key to our understanding of all the truth. Whether it is a god or the mechanism behind the tide of magic... and even the essence of magic, I vaguely feel that they are related. Carmier, Veronica, I authorize you to carry out research in related fields and find ways to find traces of this 'deep sea'. In addition, I suggest that we cooperate with the elves in this field - the elves have a long inheritance, and in their ancient treasure house of knowledge, there may be a few words about the mystery of the world.
"Similarly, we can cooperate with Siren - although they are foreign races, they have lived in this world for a longer time than us. In the long process of learning and adapting to this world, perhaps they have observed some signs..."
"I understand that I will arrange technical exchanges as soon as possible in the future," Carmier said immediately. "We have accumulated a lot of problems recently in the ultra-high altitude aircraft project, and we need to exchange phased results with the elves..."
"Ultra-altitude aircraft..." Gao Wen was immediately attracted by the project mentioned by Carmier - this project is one of several key projects he approved this year, as important as high-speed aircraft, starry sky research, and ocean exploration. It is the hope of the next generation of aircraft technology and is also related to Gao Wen's dream of the starry sea in his heart. "How is it progressing?"
"Before reaching the top of the Magic Static Realm, everything went smoothly. A more powerful anti-gravity generator, a more effective power ridge, and a more reasonable rune layout... With the help of some new technologies, we easily lifted the unmanned aerial vehicle to a height that even the Thunder Swallow Bird could not reach, but after crossing the Magic Static Realm, the situation was different. The magic environment of the atmospheric turbulence layer was completely different from that near the surface. The original magic power was more powerful, but it was also more difficult to control. The magic net was difficult to operate stably in such a chaotic environment, and the stability of lift was impossible to guarantee - all unmanned aerial vehicles fell down."
