Da da da...
The hard heels stepped hard on the stone bricks of Tarnach City. Captain Bodelinov and his corporal walked in front, holding their heads high, not arrogantly, but a little happy.
Nothing could make him happier than seeing Katerina, not even the canned parties held every night, because Katerina once said that when she came to Tarnach City in person, it would be the day when Bo When Delinov left here.
Although we have reached the edge of the extreme north, the temperature has not increased at all. The low temperature of minus 25 degrees Celsius has filled the whole city with a desolate atmosphere.
In fact, the city of Tarnach is not desolate at all. Although it has no industrial base, it still has a population of nearly 30,000 people, more than half of whom are miners' families, and the rest are labor reform prisoners, guard soldiers, and some traders doing business.
Where there is demand, there will be a market. This is true no matter where it is. The commercial trade in Tarnach City has always been prosperous before the arrival of the big cold wave. After all, it is connected by railways, which is much more convenient than other remote areas.
"correct."
Bodelinov suddenly stopped and said to Katerina who was riding behind him: "Your Highness, you must be very tired after coming all the way. Why not find a hotel to rest for a while? The train will not be ready until the afternoon at the earliest. Then Enough for you to eat and have a good night's sleep."
When he said this, Bodelinov was not only concerned, but also had a hint of cryptic meaning in his tone.
"good."
Katerina agreed. She was always familiar with Bodelinov's behavior and roughly guessed what he wanted to do.
So Bodelinov immediately led Mavey and others to a small three-story hotel on the street. He said hello to the proprietress and made it clear that no special services were needed today. He took out a bunch of keys from behind the counter and asked him to The corporal stood guard outside the door and went upstairs with ease.
The stairs were winding and winding, but Bodelinov walked very smoothly, obviously he was a regular visitor.
Katerina didn't want to ask him why he went to the hotel instead of returning to his apartment, but...
Bodelinov opened room 305, waited for Mavey and others to come in, then closed the door. While loudly introducing the benefits of this small hotel, he crawled under the bed, lifted up a section of the floor, and pulled out a locked door. suitcase.
"Your Highness, room 305 is where I usually live. There are several keys here that can open rooms 303, 304, and 306 respectively. You can allocate them yourself."
Leaving a bunch of keys behind, Bodelinov walked out of the room and whispered: "If you want to eat, there are many restaurants on the street. I recommend the one on the corner. It is opened by a Sardinian. The pizza inside is very good... .Have a good rest and I will call you when the train is ready."
Click.
The door closed softly, and the footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away. Through the window, Mavey saw Captain Bodelinov and the corporal leaving the restaurant and heading straight to the train station in the southwest, presumably to arrange a train. .
"Xiao Hei."
Pulling open his collar, Ma Wei pulled out Xiao Hei who was sleeping soundly in his arms, "Go follow Captain Bodlinov and see what he wants to do."
"Meow...I got it..."
Xiao Hei yawned, stretched out, jumped out of the window, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"There is no need to be so alert." Katerina stroked the suitcase and said without looking back: "Bodelinov wants to deal with the mole around him. He is a smart man and knows what to do."
"Would a smart person still let a mole surround him?" the letter said.
"There is an endless supply of moles. As long as there are enemies, there will be moles around you. Once you get rid of one, there will be another one."
Katerina took out a small key from her personal clothes and opened the lock of the suitcase: "Compared to an unknown mole, of course it feels better to be in control of the overall situation. That way, you know what information to leak. It’s given to the other party, isn’t it?”
The suitcase contains ancient books and parchment scrolls. The pages of the books have turned yellow, but the writing on the parchment scrolls is clearly visible. The preservation level can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Bodelinov initially said that the classics were kept in his residence. This was obviously false information, and his purpose was to seduce the moles around him to start action. He secretly hid the real classics under the floor of the small hotel, and used special services to come to check them every now and then for the first three days. Is it to protect the classics or for special services?
This is a matter of opinion.
The suitcase in room 305 is just one of them. The same suitcases are also hidden under the floor in rooms 303, 304, and 306, and there are more of them.
"The entire Apocalypse Church can only leave a dozen suitcases full of classics?"
"These classics are the real secrets." Katerina said: "I found them in the underground chamber of St. Basil's Cathedral. The total number is less than 100. As for the books on the surface, Those classics record some historical documents. They are huge in number and complicated in content, and cannot be safely transferred in a short time. Therefore, I handed them over to the History Department of Kingdom University for sorting and sorting. If necessary, just take back Mosk. .”
"I see..."
Ma Wei nodded, thinking that Katerina was right. Historical documents are important, but since they are on the surface, it means that there is a high probability that they are not unique in the world, and similar records can generally be found.
Although the number of these mysterious books hidden deep in the ground is not too large, it is enough for them to read for a while.
Lai Wen was the first to pick up a book on the top, opened it, and found that it was in Slavic. With his current language level, he was not good enough to read such obscure text, and could only understand it with the help of a translation book.
In addition to the letters, Dino and Katerina were looking through the classics, looking for the information they needed. Mavey picked up a parchment roll, untied the red rope with the finger bones on it, and slowly unfolded it...
I don’t know what kind of paint was used to write the words on the parchment scroll. After many years, it is still bright and full, with no sign of fading, and the content recorded on it also made Ma Wei’s eyes light up.
Ancient Magic 171: Penetrating Magic
Created by the master Arcadius in 501 BC, it can give items the ability to penetrate defenses and destroy magic circles. For details on its power, see the Magic Analysis Volume. Inspiration may come from Kungunir, the eternal spear. Recorded by Mikhail Belinsky in 207 AD]
The name and serial number of the magic are recorded on the left half of the parchment, while a circular black magic circle is drawn on the right half, which is connected with complex and beautiful patterns, lifelike, and even between the patterns, the author of the parchment, Mi Hayur Belinsky also marked his own analysis. For example, on the outermost magic circle frame, Mikhail Belinsky wrote this: The cornerstone of the magic circle, used to conduct magic, is not unique. 】
In the pattern like a cluster of roses in the center of the magic circle, Mikhail wrote: Penetrate the core matrix of magic, accelerate the magic through a unique transportation method, so that it has a penetrating effect. If the magic is output The line is connected to the outer frame and looped multiple times, maybe it can produce different effects? Experimental conclusion: Explosion, no attempts allowed]
Mikhail Belinsky, Mavey silently memorized this name.
While reading, he seemed to be able to see the sage recorder lying in bed at night writing. The person should be disheveled, with bright eyes, and a 'madman' who focused on studying magic.
But it was precisely this kind of 'madman' who left such precious parchment scrolls to future generations.
etc!
Ma Wei's body was shaken, and he suddenly thought, since Mikhail Belinsky wrote the parchment in 207 AD, how did he conduct the experiment?
Did gods exist in 207?
No...no...
Ma Wei remembered the letter again. In the era when the gods did not come, the Berger family could use magic. According to this direction, it can be speculated that even if the gods did not come, Mikhail Belinsky could still conduct magic experiments, as long as... ..
He has people like the Bergers helping him.
Combined with the "Apocalypse Cult" that the source's father accidentally said when he was drunk, Mawei suspected that the Bojie family originally came from the Romanov Kingdom and the Apocalypse Cult. I don't know what happened that caused the Bojie family to go to Windsor. Kingdom settled...
This is just his guess. He is not sure that the Bojie family must come from the Apocalypse Divine Religion, but they definitely have some connection.
"Boss! Boss!"
While Ma Wei was deep in thought, the man next to him shouted excitedly and ran to him excitedly with a book in hand: "Look! It mentions the principles of magic!"
The author of the book in the hands of the source is also Mikhail Belinsky, and the words "Magic Analysis Volume" on the cover also correspond to the records in the parchment.
"The book mentioned that the power of the magic circle is related to the angle of the constructed figure!" The reporter's cheeks turned red with excitement: "This is the same as our previous speculation!"
"What is the angle of the figure?" Katerina cast a doubtful look.
"It's the magic circle!"
The text asked Ma Wei to take out the gold ring snatched from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, point to the circular magic circle engraved on the inside and say: "This book says that the magic circle is composed of a variety of shapes, and each one There are strict requirements on the curvature and diagonal lines of the graphics, including the jagged outlines on its inner edges. The fewer and smaller it is, the greater its power!"
"In addition to the graphic angle, the power is also related to the conductivity of the engraved item's material and the user's magic power!"
"This person named Mikhail proposed that from a theoretical point of view, as long as the above conditions are perfect, even the simplest magic array can exert tremendous power!"
"It's like a sophisticated machine." Katerina understood: "Does the magic circle involve many fields?"
Lai Wen slapped his thigh, "Yes! I have discussed the magic circle with the boss before. We had limited information at that time, but we more or less took this into consideration. The magic circle not only involves geometry, but also involves many things. The subjects are closely related!”
"Then let's put it this way..." Dino took a breath: "Can magic arrays be manufactured in batches?"
"That's right!" Lai Wen nodded heavily.
This was a big discovery, for Katerina.
Long before, Ma Wei and Lai Wen had tried to recreate the magic circle and succeeded. All this was due to the power of the Siren's Tears. The Siren's Tears could change the shape of foreign objects and recreate magic. The array template is easy to create, but due to the limitation of imagination, it cannot be as precise as a machine.
This also caused the magic arrays recreated by Ma Wei and Lai Wen to be less powerful than before.
In order to achieve the power of Mikhail Belinsky's theory, an industrial foundation is indispensable. Just like the parts processed by a lathe, their specifications and precision are basically fixed, with extremely small errors. within the range.
If we can achieve nano- and micron-level process technology...
How terrifying should the power of the magic circle be?
Mikhail Belinsky's research pointed out the direction for Mavey and others. They needed talents and were extremely hungry for them.
"By the way, have you noticed anything strange?" Fat Orange suddenly intervened in everyone's conversation, patting the suitcase with his meat claws, "There seems to be no mention of gods in the classics left by the Apocalypse Sect. There are a lot of things related to magic recorded in the story of Advent, but it is completely blank on the source magic power, not a single word is mentioned.”
Fat Orange's words reminded them, Ma Wei and the others were slightly stunned, and immediately began to flip through the remaining classics and parchments. This time they did not read carefully, but looked for records about gods, but...
As a result, just as Fat Orange said, they did not find any, even a shred of information about the arrival of the gods.
The only thing that can be related to the gods is the tiny message left by Mikhail on the parchment.
Just like in Penetrating Magic with Serial Number 171, he mentioned that Master Arcadius' inspiration when creating Penetrating Magic 'may' have been from the eternal spear Kungunir.
What is Kungunir, the Eternal Spear?
The legendary weapon of Odin!
Since the eternal spear Kungunir is mentioned in the parchment, it means that Mikhail Belinsky has a certain understanding of the gods, but why did he not leave any information?
Or...
He actually left a message, but the part about the god was missing.
Realizing this, everyone who was originally happy because of the classics and parchments gradually stopped laughing.
"Who is this Mikhail Belinsky?" Edward suddenly asked: "Since these classics well preserved by the Apocalypse Religion are his research works, then he should not be an unknown person. .”
"He was one of the three archbishops at the beginning of the founding of the Apocalypse Religion, an important figure second only to the pope." Katerina said: "The Apocalypse Religion was born in 207, and the first founder was the first pope. Hesiod was a bard from ancient Rome. It is said that he came to this land with teachings and ancient books. In the name of Nelayinda, he accepted three followers and founded the Apocalypse Cult. Three believers became archbishops, one of whom was Mikhail Belinsky."
"It was also during those few years that churches sprouted up all over the country, and after constant competition and integration..."
Katerina pursed her lips: "It formed the prototype of the Three Goddess of Destiny Church, the God of Wisdom, the God of Judgment and the God of Abundance."
“What?” Ma Wei’s eyes widened and he said in disbelief: “These churches were established at the same time?!”
"Well, many historians believe that these churches all originated from the same land, and the split formed the current structure. However, there is no document recording the church before the split. Even the Cult of Plenty in ancient Rome itself has I don’t know.” Katerina glanced at Fat Orange and said, “This cat’s guess is correct. All the documents about the BC period have indeed disappeared.”
