In Veronica's sight, the figures of holy light left the Bright Hall one after another, and the turbulent divine power in the entire space finally calmed down. She waited until the last bishop had left before turning slightly to look at St. Ivan III beside her.
"Your Holiness, do you have something to say to me?"
The old pope was hunched over in his magnificent chair, and his strength seemed to be fading away. Despite the brilliant holy light falling from the sky, the holy light could not reverse the fact that his body was weakening. The old man took a few deep breaths before he looked up. "Veronica, loyal child of the Lord, what did you see in the prayer room at the top?"
She saw the cold snow covering the dirty and filthy streets.
"I saw the holy light shining on the world, and the pasture of the Lord was pure."
Seeing people full of desire walk into the church, the rich people prayed for more wealth, the powerful people prayed for more power, and the poor people didn't even have the right to step into the church. They could only kneel on the outermost steps of the cathedral.
"I saw the people of the Lord gathering in the holy light. Their hearts were filled with the power of the Lord, and they became pure and holy."
"Very good," the pope said slowly with a peaceful expression on his face. "Veronica, I don't have much time."
Veronica bowed down. "Your Holiness, you are still healthy."
"Don't comfort me, and I don't need it." The old man shook his head slightly. "I will return to the embrace of the Lord. Recently, in the illusion … I can see the face of the Lord. He is standing in the center of the divine kingdom, smiling at me. The day of my return will be my most glorious moment … I will never resist it."
The face of the Lord …
Veronica repeated this word in her heart, but what appeared in her mind was a large amorphous crystal. The true face of the God of Holy Light was still deeply imprinted in her mind, and she could not get rid of it.
"Veronica, I am not against death, but I am worried that our cause will be interrupted because of my death." The voice of the old pope interrupted Veronica's thoughts. She heard the old man speaking to her in a slow and firm tone. "Do you remember the revelation you heard from the Lord?"
"Of course, I will never forget," Veronica replied firmly. "The world is being tainted by filth, and the EsGod is powerless to save this world. Only the Holy Light is the final salvation among the gods. The will of the Lord will guide all mortals through the final calamity."
"The Holy Light is the only salvation." St. Ivan III slowly closed his eyes. "Perhaps many people will not understand what we are going to do, but we have to do it because the Lord has awakened us from our ignorance … to give us the mission of saving all living beings."
"I am willing to undertake this mission, to make the faith of the Holy Light the only one in this world …"
"Very good, child, the Lord is pleased by your words." St. Ivan III's voice gradually lowered as if he had fallen into a dream. "The Holy Light is the only salvation, the only …"
Veronica bent down beside the gradually sleeping pope and piously whispered, "The Holy Light is the only salvation …"
…
"Calculus is our path!" In the comprehensive analysis room of the Rune Research Institute, Kamel floated high in the air. Dozens of pieces of paper floated around him under the control of magic power. They were densely packed with calculation formulas and data converted into graphs. "The Lord has lit a beacon for us!"
Rebecca, Jenny, and a dozen assistants (including a few newcomers who had just joined in the past two days) stood helplessly nearby, looking at the ancient magus who was so excited that he was about to ascend to heaven (literally). It was not until Kamel calmed down a little that Jenny could not help but say, "Master Kamel, can you come down? The magic crystal lamp on the ceiling has almost been burnt out by you. "
"Ah? Oh. "Kamel quickly lowered his altitude." I was wondering why I felt hot near my head. "
Rebecca looked at the luminous magus in admiration. "Master Kamel, you are amazing! How did you master these things so quickly? I have listened to my ancestors for a long time and studied it myself for a long time, but I still haven't fully figured it out … "
"That's because of your generational equation. Or, as His Lordship put it, your foundation in functions is not solid enough," Kamel said as he manipulated his magic to put the papers neatly back to their original position. "We used various mathematical tools to solve problems back then, so I adapted to this new field faster. But you don't have to be frustrated. Your mathematical ability is very strong, and your talent in this field is better than most of the ordinary researchers at that time. You will soon fully master these things. "
After saying that, the ancient mage couldn't help but sigh, "If we're talking about greatness, your ancestor is still the best … I can't even imagine how he grasped so much knowledge … Not only was he a legendary knight, but he also understood magic, runes, mathematics, and even the technique of drawing maps …"
"I don't know why my ancestor is so powerful, but he is really very powerful." Rebecca scratched her head embarrassedly as if she was the one being praised. "He is a legendary hero, and half of the country's territory was conquered by him!"
Kamel turned around and looked at the surrounding assistant researchers who were looking at him curiously. He was in a very good mood, and when he spoke, his whole body was glowing with a light blue light. "Every one of us must master this new mathematical tool. I have discussed it with Jenny, and in the future, under the condition that it does not affect the research mission, everyone must learn calculus!"
Jenny smiled and nodded, indicating that this matter had been approved by her. Rebecca cheered the researchers on with a happy smile. "Everyone, don't worry, this is actually not difficult! Although I haven't fully mastered it, I think this kind of thing can be figured out after ten days or half a month of research … "
The assistant researchers on the scene began to nod in confusion. Jenny lowered her voice and whispered to Kamel, "Does Rebecca know that her mathematical ability is different from ordinary people?"
"Looks like she doesn't know …"
"I'm mainly worried that these assistant apprentices will run away after seeing calculus …"
"It's okay, I've already welded the door shut."
“？”
"It's a way of describing the Lord, to show that he will never back down."
Jenny was still dumbfounded. "?"
At this moment, Gwen, who had unleashed the demon of "calculus", had no idea what was happening in the Rune Research Institute. At this time, he was busy discussing with Amber how to integrate the first batch of military intelligence officers into the Cecil business network after the completion of the training.
Because as early as when he first established the Cecil Chamber of Commerce, Gwen had reserved a lot of positions in the system for the placement of intelligence personnel, so this work itself was not difficult. He just told Amber his idea, and the next thing was for the half-elf to do as she saw fit.
"Now our business network has begun to work. Merchants from all over the country will spontaneously report some information to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and when professional intelligence personnel also enter the system, the eyes and ears of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce will be completely established." After explaining the matter clearly, Gwen leaned back on the back of the chair. "Help me think if there is anything missing."
"What can be missing? Is there anyone more cunning than you in this world?" Amber couldn't help but roll his eyes at Gawain. "Sometimes, I don't even know if the legends about you from seven hundred years ago are true or false. In the legends, you're a guy who uses Charge, Cleave, and Whirlwind Slash to solve problems. But in the end, you're even better at scheming than those schemers …"
"It's just a legend, after all, so it's always up to the later generations to embellish it. Furthermore, during my time, we were expanding our territory. Everyone generally liked to solve problems by chopping everything in their way. That's why when people were describing who was very powerful, they would always say that this person was very good at chopping. Did you know that Duke Franklin, who once chopped down the Orc invasion's Grand Marshal, was actually better at cooking?"
"Duke Franklin? The old ancestor of the Franklin family in the Western Region? "
"Yes, his jumping chop was superb. He had killed two legends and at least a hundred high-ranking extraordinary people. He was best at carving flowers on carrots. When he was free, he would use carrots to practice. When he was done, he would call us over to eat carrots. So, the four founding dukes and King Charles himself did not like to eat carrots after the founding of the country. This matter has never been mentioned in the history books."
Amber listened in a daze. But she suddenly found a blind spot. "Hey, no, I saw you eating carrots last night at dinner."
Gwen was stunned for a moment. He realized that he had a slip of the tongue. But he reacted quickly. "I haven't eaten carrots for seven hundred years. So, I've recovered."
Amber touched her chin and fell into deep thought. "Emmmm … So, you can recover like this …"
Gwen looked guiltily and awkwardly at Amber. He wanted to say something to divert the half-elf's attention. But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a slight ripple in his spiritual world.
This feeling was difficult to describe in words. Ordinary people might even associate it with a temporary trance and absent-mindedness. But Gwen did not let go of this strange feeling. He immediately realized that it was not his spiritual world that was rippling, but his spiritual world was' connected 'to something.
It was the spiritual network of the Eternal Sleepers!
The connection was reestablished? The Eternal Sleepers finally launched the open beta? Their servers were fixed? My account is back?
At this moment, a lot of reliable and unreliable ideas gushed out in Gwen's mind. But he did not show it on his face. He just suddenly ended the current topic and looked at Amber with a serious face. "I'm going to … sleep for a while. You stay by my side."
