List of strange talismans

Chapter 195 Redundant 4K
As a believer in industry, Valentine used to consider himself well-informed.But even if he searched his memory, he couldn't find any theoretical basis to explain what happened to him.

If he hadn't seen a ring that could move, grow, invade flesh and blood, and suck his blood, he would probably think it was a fantasy.

This wasn't what surprised him the most. What was even more incredible was that this thing actually had fluctuations in consciousness energy.

It clearly has a material entity, but it can stimulate the power of consciousness, and it is also an industrial power of consciousness, but the color is slightly different from the power of orthodox gods.

At first, Valentin did not understand the function of the consciousness energy stimulated by the ring.

It wasn't until one of his colleagues at the Gran Federal University passed away due to a religious dispute and he went to pay his condolences that he discovered the purpose of this thing in the cemetery.

On that day, Valentine witnessed with his own eyes that an ancient Holy Spirit came to the world and used his supreme power to bring His devout believers into the Kingdom of God.

All this was not staged in front of him in the form of a complete picture.In fact, he only saw a ray of light, an erratic soul-like figure, and a thick cloud like a sea of ​​group consciousness that briefly came and then disappeared.

It is the iron ring that resonates with inspiration and brings enlightenment, which completes the true meaning of the incomplete picture.

After that, Valentine went through a series of studies and finally understood the true purpose of this thing.

position.

It can lock in all the power of the gods within a huge range, and condense it into various colored lines before the host's eyes in a form that humans can understand.

When the host touches those lines, it will be able to obtain information related to them, including but not limited to: the nature of the power, the source of the power, the intensity of the power, and the approximate rank of the gods, etc.

In Valentine's view, perhaps only the omnipotent God of Industry in this world can create such incredible creations.

The evidence supporting his speculation is that the iron ring can be driven by the power of the God of Industry.

He believed that this was a weapon given by the gods to expand his territory, and it was a symbol of his destiny.

But the reality...

But it's just the opposite.

What Valentin didn't know was that what he thought was a gift was actually the dregs abandoned by the gods, a "redundant" that was eliminated during the integration of authority.

——Splicing two precision-designed devices together is still not a perfect fit in the true sense.

Not to mention the completely different authorities between the two?

In order for clothes to fit you, they have to be tailored after all.

The excess fabric must be discarded.

This product, which was born during the period of progression from [Dispute] to [War], is a bloated burden to today’s God of Industry.

It cannot be integrated with [industry].

And because of the characteristic that authority never dies once it is born, even gods as great as gods cannot completely solve this problem.

He cannot destroy the thing that created Him, and can only temporarily banish it in the form of [attachment] with the help of the power of another being.

Now, this ring shows the ability to locate the energy of the gods.It is precisely due to its rank and function that originally belonged to [Dispute].

It is evil, at least to humans.

While it guides the power of the gods, it will also corrode the host and affect the host's way of thinking, gradually turning it into an extremely aggressive person who is accustomed to using force to solve problems.

This is the first step to transform into [Dispute].

It is also one of the reasons for the birth of many new gods.

——[Redundancy], which is not worth mentioning to the great gods, falls on the vast majority of ordinary lives in the world, and becomes an extraordinary step to ascend to the gods.

However, this level of ascending to the gods is not beautiful.

Because you can never resist the true master of authority.Even if you become a god through this.

Valentine himself did not know all this.He didn't even notice the changes in his personality. He regarded his increasingly irritable and reckless personality as an accidental reaction under pressure.

He has become accustomed to the powerful insight that the ring brings to him, which is above the ordinary world.I am also used to using it to observe the world.

On the day he arrived in Galanz, he walked around the town.

During this period, he did not see any lines representing the power of the gods.

It is precisely because of this that he is so sure that the god believed by the Galanz people is false.

Valentine does not intend to tell the truth to Cedric and others, and the tiger is also afraid that the jackal will be concerned about it. He is worried that the artifact in his hand will attract the covetousness of the three people, and then suffer a sneak attack and siege.

But he needed these three saints to help him achieve his goal.

To this end, Valentine decided to use another reason to convince them.

"Do you know what I found in that blacksmith shop yesterday?"

he said.

Tennyson said: "You have already said that you saw a steam engine design drawing."

"It's just an appearance."

Valentine said lightly: "The key point is that there is no knowledge from the God of Industry on that design drawing."

"Listen clearly, it's anything."

"From the entire cylinder wall to the valves and bearings, the design of that steam engine is brand new from the inside out. It is a product created with completely ownerless knowledge!"

"I originally thought this was a miracle created by two lucky people. It was the inspiration of fate that allowed them to bring such a steam engine to the White Star Kingdom."

"But then, just as I was about to leave, I heard them say a few words."

"It was these few words that prompted me to have the idea of ​​violently conquering Galanz."

"Because the benefits are too great."

When Valentin said this, he seemed to remember what happened last night, and his eyes jumped for a moment.

Tennyson felt unhappy. If he couldn't beat him, he would give Valentine a slap in the face to make this kid understand the price of half-talking.

Cedric was also intrigued by Valentine's words. He couldn't help but asked: "What did he say?"

Valentine came back to his senses and glanced at the three people in front of him.

He spoke slowly and said word by word: "At that time, they were arguing about the production method of a component. The boy named Sachet said to Chekov: "You are not doing this right. The knowledge in my mind is not this. mean】"

"Chekov then replied: [Didn't you say you didn't fully understand it yet? Why did you suddenly understand it again?]"

"Sachette added: [It's time to sort out the mess. Although they entered my brain at once, they are still related to each other. I thought about it carefully while eating, and I almost understood it]"

Valentine's tone was calm and his voice was not loud, but his short sentence was nothing less than thunderous in the ears of the three people present.

Cedric's expression suddenly changed.

Tennyson's eyes widened.

Elvis jumped up from the sofa on the spot.

"God of Industry, you mean they found a [lost]?!!"

He lost his voice.

The so-called [lost], as the name suggests, refers to knowledge that is left outside the control of the gods.

Countless new knowledge is born in this world every day, but not all new knowledge can be controlled by its authority holders at the time of birth.

Gods are not omnipotent.

Nor is it omniscient.

Although they are superior to mortals, they still have their limits.Far from invincible.

Great things that do not belong to ideology,

The divine being from heaven who has descended into this world since eternity,

There are also those beings called the Outer Gods and the Old Ones,

And...a higher civilization born under the boundless universe.

None of these things can be easily matched by the so-called gods of this world.

The spiritual beings under [Deep Space] are not even qualified to stand in front of them.

Only humans, only these weak and ignorant but extremely curious beings, will come into contact with these great beings for various reasons.

Everyone who dared to do so received an unbearable gift from the great existence.

Most of them eventually died of their own curiosity.But the gifts they received remained in this world.These gifts are [lost].

It is a secret knowledge that even the gods are eager to know.

Because of the limitations of thinking caused by the times, even as powerful as the few industrial saints present, they never thought that someone would be able to bring future knowledge to the present and give it to a group of residents in remote areas to learn.

Therefore, when he learned that Sachette's knowledge of how to build a steam engine was not obtained through study, but was poured into his mind by some kind of power.

Naturally, Elvis thought of [Lost].

Only the lost and ownerless knowledge can be so systematic and appear in such a magical way.

Valentine thought so too.

"You're right. Mr. Elvis."

He said: "In fact, this is one of the reasons why I intend to take over this town through violent means... The gift from the great being has the stability of consciousness, it almost never dissipates, it only transfers."

"This is the opportunity given to us by fate."

"We don't have to wait any longer. We can deprive them of their knowledge and think, create and complete our own [steam engine]!"

"Even two children with no foundation can achieve this step by relying on lost knowledge. Those of us who are favored by industry cannot be worse than them!"

"You must know that the divine grace that can be obtained by [handing in a brand-new industrial product invented by others] and [inventing a brand-new industrial product by oneself and handing it in] are two different concepts!"

"I even suspect that the knowledge includes more than just how to make a steam engine. Do you remember what Sachette said? [There are connections between each other], [A mess]!"

"This shows that the total amount of knowledge is definitely large and it is systematic! There may be theories for creating more new mechanical equipment!"

"We will receive countless honors and gifts for this!"

When Valentin said this, he glanced at the three people in front of him.

"Gentlemen."

"If violence can bring more benefits, why should we cling to this ridiculous prison and stick to transactions?"

"Do you want to just watch this life-changing opportunity slip away?"

Cedric fell silent.

Tennyson's expression kept changing, and he was obviously shaken.

Elvis was calmer than Tennyson, but he couldn't help but wonder whether he should give it a try.

The only reason is that what Valentine depicts may be too tempting. No industrial saint can remain calm under this temptation.

That is at this time.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

There was a sudden knock on the study door.

Matthews' voice came from outside the door.

"Four Excellencies, may I come in?"

Cedric came back to his senses and glanced at Valentine subconsciously.

Seeing the other party nodding, he said: "Please come in."

Matthews pushed open the door and entered.

"Mr. Mayor, what's the matter?"

Cedric took the initiative to ask, his tone was calm, his face was calm, and he didn't reveal any flaws.

Matthews first bowed and saluted, and then said: "The great Saint Suncheon has made an edict and invites you to meet at Galanz Square to discuss the delivery of the steam engine."

Tennyson was slightly startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Matthews: "There are still saints in the Suncheon Sect?"

"Of course, Lord Tennyson."

"Then why didn't he show up before?"

Matthews replied with mixed truth and falsehood: "Your Majesty the Saint is currently on a long journey back to the Kingdom of God and cannot stay in Galanz forever."

"In fact, his visit was also an accident."

"..."

Tennyson was speechless.

This was the first time he heard the term "Return to the Kingdom of God".

A mere saint still wants to reach the sea of ​​group consciousness?

What do you think you are, the incarnation of a god?
It is true that the ignorant are fearless, and they are not afraid of bragging and exaggerating.

"This Lord Saint of Shuntian is really... exceptionally different."

Valentine let out a chuckle, and Matthews' absurd statement made him more certain of his suspicion.

——The so-called Suncheon Religion is essentially a false belief created by ignorant mortals.

There is no shortage of desperate people in this world. They will put on false holy clothes for themselves and claim to be saints and gods, just to squeeze the wealth of believers and deceive the more ignorant people.

He had seen similar situations many times in the Gran Federation.

Valentine decided to take advantage of the situation and catch the opponent off guard.

"Please tell His Excellency the Saint of Shuntian that we will set off after a little preparation."

he said to Matthews.

Matthews heard this and saw that the other three people did not object, so he nodded in agreement, closed the door and exited the room.

Valentine stood there, listening to Matthews' footsteps walking away.

After a while, he turned around and said, "Gentlemen, it's time to make a decision."

Tennyson and Elvis looked at each other, their eyes falling on Cedric.

Cedric was silent for a moment, put on his hood, and stood up from the sofa.

He walked towards the door with his feet, his movements were slow and slow, and his black priestly robes fluttered in the wind, emitting a faint coal-like matte black shimmer.

That is a sign that the universal manufacturing machine is mobilized by the power of consciousness.

"Cedric, you really are."

Tennyson couldn't help but speak, but before he finished speaking, he saw his best friend stopping by the door and turning his head.

In the sunlight, Cedric's face was half-dark, blocked by the shadow cast by his hood.

"Tennyson, you know me. I never like to use violence to solve problems. I have always shown my tolerance to mortals."

"But fate will not favor you because of your kindness."

"We need to fight for opportunities ourselves."

"Ask your heart, do you want to seize this opportunity?"

Tennyson was slightly startled.

He saw Cedric pushing open the door and coming out. The power of black consciousness darkened his eyes, making this usually gentle and gentle friend look like he had turned into a devil.

Elvis stepped forward and tapped Tennyson on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

"I"

Tennyson wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Elvis: "Do you think they will be grateful for your kindness if you don't take action? Wake up, Tennyson, we are a whole now, no one will treat you Take it apart and look at it.”

"Even if the three of us choose not to take action, as long as Valentine turns against the Galanz people, we will not be able to stay out of it."

"Rather than being forced to join the fight when the time comes, it's better to take the initiative. At least, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary losses."

He said, seeing that Tennyson was motionless, he simply grabbed his arm and dragged him out.

When Valentin saw this, he smiled and lifted his heels.
