Chapter 147 A Cloud Made of Light Floats from the Sky
The first thought that popped into Cecil's mind: These guys saw that we had a nuclear bomb, so they came here to preemptively strangle us in the cradle!
I have to say that this idea is reasonable, if these gods didn't even look at Yuecheng and went straight to the nuclear explosion site.The movement of the gods is not really running. In Cecil's eyes, they were just a distant point on the horizon one second, and they are already close at hand the next second.They don't have to move their legs or move, and mortals look more like broken-frame animation.
Cecil is still not very good at distinguishing gods, not to mention their appearances are ever-changing. There are at least eight gods in this group, and he only recognizes Taylor, the god of sea hunting in Serin.
The gods looked around the nuclear bomb site for a while, Taylor turned around, and within a few seconds stood in front of Cecil, and said like an ordinary person: "Immediately pray to your civilization god! Immediately! quick!"
Cecil looked confused: "Please, please what?"
"Tell your house god to come out!" Taylor seemed a little impatient, and raised his voice and shouted, "Quick!"
"Uh...uh, I don't know, it takes time." Cecil was thinking about how to invite the God of Tea, "It will take a few days."
Taylor rolled his eyes in an extremely humane manner, turned around and turned into a huge figure again, and suddenly stomped a few times towards the vicinity of Moon City, yelling at Cecil's incomprehensible words, and after a while, a small incident happened between heaven and earth With a small vibration, the figure of the Paper God, about the size of an ordinary person, suddenly appeared on the city wall.
What the gods are discussing, Cecil can't guess, they are surrounded by the nuclear bomb site, no one dares to approach there, but everyone is terrified, all he can do is to try to appease the residents, and put Ebo's people and Domestic animals were brought into Moon City. At this time, people hid in the city unconsciously. The city wall was the greatest reliance for mortals, just like children hiding in bed on a winter night.
Cecil was very anxious and began to regret using the nuclear bomb. The gods did not attack but made the matter even more terrifying. When the paper god in a suit came over and said a word, he was sure it was It's annoying.
"Immediately announce the name of your country, and extradite the Chinese character god." Paper God said in an orderly tone.
"However, the city wall of the second ring road will fail as soon as the Chinese character god comes over." Cecil said puzzledly.
"Forget about the second ring city wall." Paper God said immediately, "I can't care about it at this time."
Cecil hesitated for a moment, but asked, "What happened?"
Paper God sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, like a social animal who had been squeezed by the boss for a day and came home to face a brat who failed the exam: "Do you know Yuncheng?"
"Ah..." The beam of light and the deep pit with nothing left appeared in Cecil's mind.
"You know?" Paper God seemed a little surprised, and when he wanted to say something, he closed his mouth again, and said after a moment of silence, "It's not your fault, but we don't have time now, so extradite Word God comes here immediately."
"Okay." Cecil didn't ask any more questions, and immediately asked the residents of Moon City to gather.
Every time this kind of meeting is held, Langdon will give Cecil a amplification magic, so that his voice can be transmitted to the whole city.This time, Langdon didn't say much, but his solemn expression still showed concern.
Cecil was standing in front of the small square. A lot of old houses had been demolished here, and the future government building was scheduled to be built, and a large vacant lot appeared.Many people gathered here consciously. They not only wanted to hear the voice of the king, but also wanted to see with their own eyes how the king was doing. Although there are too many things in this world that ordinary people cannot control, human beings are always like this, holding a little hope and being tenacious move forward.
"Residents, citizens, I think you must want to know what happened, what we are about to face, I can only tell you now, I will stand with you no matter what, this is our country, Our destiny, we must face it! Our new country is called the Middle Kingdom, our writing is Chinese, and on this grassland, my history begins!"
The whole city fell into a strange silence, and Cecil looked around nervously, not knowing what kind of reaction these words would cause.It stands to reason, shouldn't the Middle Kingdom be a very domineering name?Why is everyone silent?
"The center of where?" A faint voice came from the crowd of observers.
"Uh... the center of the world." Cecil quickly explained.
"What is the world?" Someone asked again.
"It's the whole world."
"Are we in the center of the world?" It was a surprised voice this time.
"No, that's not what it means!" Cecil Khan came out, "It's just a kind of perception, a false statement."
"False? We are not? Then why is it called the Middle Kingdom?" This time it was more doubtful.
Cecil: "..."
"The name is kind of weird."
"I can't figure it out."
"Are we the center of the world?"
"Our side is the Northern Continent, right? Adding the Southern Continent, shouldn't the center be in the sea?"
Russell snickered behind him, Cecil blushed, Langdon's smile flickered, times were hard, this was no time to laugh.
Langdon used a loudspeaker magic for himself; "Citizens, we come from all over the world. There are no aristocrats, no royals who do anything wrong, and no mages who always hold the truth. Everything here comes from your efforts." , this is your country, the country of mortals."
The crowd fell silent, these words lifted the fog of confusion and hit their hearts.
"Go home, the king is with you."
First there was a low response, and then someone shouted loudly, "Richard is with you, Your Majesty." This is a young man with only one arm, and the only remaining arm is raised high like a banner.
"Luke is with you, Your Majesty!"
"Louis is with you, Your Majesty!"
"Hans is with you, Your Majesty!"
"Balick..."
"Rolls..."
Countless names rang out, countless arms were raised, and this emotion spread from the small square to every house in the alley.
Before the excitement in Cecil's heart was over, he felt some kind of subtle vibration. A familiar yet unfamiliar pressure came, pounced on everyone, he bent down unconsciously, and the pressure from the top of his head It was getting heavier and heavier, as if someone was holding his head down!
Many people lowered their heads, bent their waists weakly, and couldn't bear to kneel on the ground. A low crackling sound came from the second ring city wall, and in an instant, all the fires in the second ring area were extinguished. Now, a ring of the city wall also made a resonance sound, and the low hum continued to sound, even if you covered your ears, it didn't help.
Cecil's feeling was even more serious, as if a sharp sword had been drilled into his mind, the tearing pain and sadness came at the same time, he wanted to cry and go crazy, nosebleeds flowed down his lips, the next step seemed to be the heart— —
The pain suddenly disappeared, and the tinnitus and pressure disappeared without a trace. Cecil tried to raise his head, and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, wearing a Chinese tunic suit with the neckline unbuttoned, smiling casually .
"Are you feeling better?" the young man asked.
Cecil wiped the blood from his nose, staring blankly at this face: "God of Chinese characters?"
The young man nodded: "I am Cang Jie."
Cecil was even more confused: "There is such a person as Cang Jie?"
"Is it important?" Cang Jie smiled, "Cang Jie is enough to represent my image."
That's true, but...
"You are so young."
Cangjie sneered; "Well, after a certain Jiawu year, I grew older every year, and 49 years ago was even more outrageously old!"
Cecil did not say anything. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, China entered a modern history of humiliation. Chinese characters were questioned repeatedly. Experts from all walks of life found various reasons to try to prove that pictographic characters were not as good as coded characters. Instead of Chinese characters, it is strange that Cangjie is not old in that environment.
"I have been the most beautiful boy in the world for thousands of years. Those useless trash in the late Qing Dynasty blamed me for not living up to my expectations. I said that Chinese is not as good as English. I am an idol and not a powerful person. I ¥#%[email protected]! Not long after I was born, all East Asians are fanboys! All the great resources have been lost to those unworthy descendants!" Cang Jie spat out a series of obscenities that must be harmonious, "Look at the present, then All the contemporaries of my generation are dead, but I am still alive and well, and every year is better than ever! MMP, come on, those unfilial sons in English have lost all of his genes , I don’t recognize anyone, my son is better than me? Who remembers his father? Old English is almost a dead language, how much Latin can be used, hehe, if you find something new in English, you have to make a new one Hairstyle, be his mother!"
When Cangjie started to scold, his grandson Cecil naturally dared not show it. After all, the history of the late Qing Dynasty was not glorious. When Cangjie switched to scolding in English, he felt that something was wrong. He couldn't understand, and his expression froze into stunned.
"What are you looking at?" Cangjie changed his accent, "I am proficient in all dialects since the Qin Dynasty, do you have any objections?"
Cecil reflexively said: "No, you're right!" It's just that he didn't dare to say this because he was too unreasonable.
"Oh, you really have something here, at least it can be visualized." After cursing, Cang Jie let out a sigh of relief, "But why did you extradite me here? I remember Xiaocha said that it would take a while, you here The construction of the wall is too slow, my brother the Great Wall has been nagging about this all day long, so anxious, what's the matter, you repaired it in advance?"
"It's not, Canglao." The paper god's voice came, and he didn't know when he arrived, and he kept silent, "This time, it's not only about our little grandson, but also me, because there is too little information exchange. , the biggest problem now is that Yuncheng is coming soon, so I decide to extradite you here in advance, we need your help."
Cangjie was silent for a moment, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Yuncheng?"
Cecil didn't see the whole picture of Yuncheng last time, only the dots of lights in the dark, like stars, his impression of Yuncheng was only big, dark and scary.
Why did Yuncheng come?
"Because the task of Yuncheng is to destroy civilization." Paper God said solemnly.
Cecil, as the new "Central King", attended the meeting of the gods, and Langdon was not allowed to attend - by the way, the name of this country was unanimously ridiculed by all the gods of the Chinese civilization pantheon - what could he do , of course, is to recognize the ridiculous title of "Central King".
"But, didn't you say that Cloud City is an annihilation city?" Cecil said the news he heard from Carroll.
"Yuncheng has indeed wiped out many cities. It seems that the goal is this, but according to statistics, 93% of the cities wiped out in Yuncheng belong to cities with developed civilization, and only 7% belong to cities with developed magic." A face-to-face god Zhi said, "There is a saying that magic is more able to resist the attack of Yuncheng. Indeed, as long as there is an archmage, it does not even need to reach the legendary level to protect a city from destruction. Although there is a certain loss, it is better than nothing. None left. However, this is just an illusion..."
"We... I mean the local god of civilization." Another god looked at the Chinese gods who were sitting together, "We have gone through some calculations and searches for extinct civilizations, as well as years of records and statistics. A city always eliminates the city with the most developed civilization first, and then by analogy. It will not stare at a city. If it cannot be eliminated, it will temporarily put it down and turn to the next-level developed city. There are various reasons for their demise, creating the illusion that the Yuncheng Movement is disorderly, please see this table."
A huge map appeared in the void, similar to the map Langdon brought over, except that there was an extra polar continent, countless lines and time marks on it, densely packed and dazzling, but, according to the gods If you look at the above, you will find that there are indeed regularities.
"It was here first, the ancient holy city, and then it began to go south..." Following the explanation of the god, Cecil saw a clear thread, "The reason why it failed to wipe out all civilizations is, according to our guess, The energy it needs to destroy cities is not endless. The more developed the civilization, the more it consumes, and the longer the interval between the next erasure of cities, it is estimated that it is recharging during this time. In recent years, the development of civilization has become more and more The civilization it wiped out became weaker and weaker, the interval became shorter, and the frequency of being seen by people increased a lot. A hundred years ago, it appeared only once in a dozen years, but now it appears almost every month. Its moving speed has changed It’s a lot faster, we predict it’s because the consumption has decreased and the accumulated energy has increased, half a month ago it just appeared on the northern coast of the Southern Continent and wiped out three coastal city-states, very close to here.”
"I heard that these are a bunch of magic lunatics?" Paper God's expression was solemn, as if he had worked overtime for the entire National Day holiday and had not received overtime pay.
The native gods fell silent suddenly.
"No one has ever seen Yuncheng." A god suddenly said, "It is said that the god of magic has gone up, but it is only said that people with low divine power like us can't break through the barriers around Yuncheng. Things are blocked, and the real eye can't see clearly. Of course, if you give up your life, you can enter, but those who give up their lives will not be able to pass on the news. Nowadays, no one with intelligent life knows what is going on inside Yuncheng. , people often claim to be from Yuncheng, but none of them have been confirmed so far.”
This time it was the turn of the Chinese civilization gods to be silent.
"So, in fact, no one knows what Yuncheng is like?" Cecil concluded, receiving unanimous squints from the gods, he curled his lips, "It's fine for us from outside, you natives It’s also too lacking in exploration.”
"What do you know!" A god excitedly said, "Under magic, every god of civilization is born so hard, how can he give up his life so easily?"
"Then there must be some powerful gods of civilization, right?" Cecil said, "For example, Vulcan?"
"I haven't seen Vulcan for many years." A female god said, "Although we can sense his existence, there is no trace of him."
A group of gods began to exchange their knowledge about Vulcan, and it was really a lot of speculation.
"Wait a minute." Cangjie suddenly said with a sullen face, "Since we are both gods of civilization, let's not talk about any conflicts. If there are no conflicts, why didn't you tell my grandson Yuncheng about the catastrophe in advance?"
"It's not that they didn't inform, but they mistakenly thought it was unnecessary." Paper God smiled wryly, "They didn't expect this grandson to suddenly get such a large-yield nuclear bomb. Look at the current development of Moon City, and the steam engine hasn't come out yet. As for us, we didn't expect such a thing as Yuncheng. No, the mutual information is off. We communicate with each other very well. You misunderstood. They also think that our side is developing very well and is considered civilized Flame of Hope, that's why he hastily came to notify. For such a large-scale nuclear explosion, Yuncheng must have given up on the immediate goal and came here immediately."
"Oh—" Cang Jie seemed to stop the furious curse that was about to burst out, and said calmly, "What do you think?"
"Grandson" said blankly, "Probably a misunderstanding."
"Who asked you this!" Cangjie looked full of hatred, "Yuncheng is coming, what are you going to do?"
"Deal with it?" The beam of light appeared in front of Cecil's eyes, and he said firmly, "I'll immediately notify the whole city to evacuate, run first before talking, the city doesn't matter, it can still be built, if people are gone, they will be gone! If you lose your land, you will perish!"
"Okay!" Cang Jie nodded, "Go, hurry up, you still have five hours."
Cecil ran away, and the local gods of civilization who were willing to help also dispersed, and the remaining Chinese civilization gods looked at each other in blank dismay.
"I don't know if I can survive this time." Paper God said with a wry smile, "I thought we could make a difference here."
"What are you afraid of?" Cang Jie waved his hand, "You have also experienced ups and downs, honors and disgraces, and these grandchildren are not afraid. You and I will return to Earth temporarily at most, and come back when this side recovers."
"Yes." Tea God said with a smile, "Chinese civilization is endless, I checked, and four of our people came here, the first one didn't do anything, the second one came from the wrong place, and the second one came from the wrong place. The three have vicious thoughts, no, this is the fourth one, and it has finally made a difference, but it is a pity that he likes men, even if this fails, there will be a fifth one..."
"I don't think there will be a fifth one." Paper God said in a deep voice, looking towards a certain place, "This world...is not normal."
One sentence made the gods speechless.
Cecil didn't know what the gods were thinking. He was trying to persuade everyone to evacuate. Cloud City was too abstract. Having seen Yuncheng with his own eyes, he understands that the only way to stay is death, even if the technology tree here is climbed to the earth level, he can't compete.
After earnestly persuading the citizens away, Cecil summoned the king's cavalry and roughly relayed the information of the gods, which surprised the king's cavalry.
"Speaking of which, where did the news that there are magic lunatics living in Yuncheng come from?" Moye asked.
Several people looked at each other with blank faces.
"You don't know either?"
To Cecil, Langdon could be said to be someone who knew a lot of inside information, but at this moment he also showed a puzzled look: "It seems...that's what I've been saying since I was sensible."
"What about the natural inheritance of the ancient survivors?" Moyer asked.
Langdon seemed to glance casually at the half-blood devil: "How do you know that the ancient survivors are born with inheritance?"
"It's not you, the 'Central King', who told me, I have my channel." Moyer laughed again after finishing speaking, "Central King...who helped you get started?"
Cecil was extremely embarrassed, but he let the words out. The civilization level has been established and cannot be changed. He can only pretend to be nonchalant and say: "You guys go too."
Langdon asked, "What about you?"
"I want to stay." Cecil said, "I watched Cloud City last time, it doesn't care about a single person, I want to watch here."
"Then I'll stay too." Langdon said without hesitation.
"Me too." The other three kings said in unison.
"We can't let go of this rare excitement," Moyer said.
"I want to witness this evil with my own eyes," O'Casey said.
"We have to calculate the loss." Russell sighed, and then his face became terrified, "This account will be settled with Yuncheng one day, right, Your Majesty the King?"
"Of course!" Cecil said decisively, "No matter who created Cloud City, this account must be settled!"
Five hours, no more, no less, more than 2 people can still leave, and there is no need to evacuate too far. At noon, a group of people appeared in a dark place less than one kilometer from Yuecheng.The citizens of the Middle Kingdom gathered together, basking in the sun and discussing a lot. People only brought their savings with them. Many people didn’t have time to save money. People with malicious intentions shuttled through the crowd, staring at other people’s gold coin bags. He was extremely busy, and the traffic on the Yuetuo Expressway was even more congested. Cars kept stopping to ask what was going on ahead, and the news became more and more mysterious. The latest rumor has become "His Majesty is about to transform suddenly." , which makes people confused.
Cecil, the four king knights, Dali and his party, Caroline, Baby and Homer stood a few hundred meters outside Moon City together, looking at the sky in the distance.
Dali and his party came purely because they wanted to see and see, and they were all bold and talented people, so they were worried that there would be no major events to watch.
Carroll's nature is outbursts, so of course Big Gossip has a chance to see it with his own eyes. He didn't dare to do it before, but now Cecil dares to stay and watch it, so of course he won't let it go.
The baby is purely careless, he is used to following Carroll, he will be there wherever Carroll is, and after so long, it has almost forgotten who picked it up.
Homer heard the wind from nowhere, climbed up to the distant city wall without saying a word, and sat on it, waiting for something.
Cecil can't control anyone at this time. Besides, none of these guys are better than him. His ability to protect himself is the greatest help to others.
Time passed noon slowly, and a "cloud" quietly appeared on the skyline.
