Chapter 524 The Distorted History

  Associate at the end.

  A strange and extremely familiar vocabulary, Lorenzo couldn't think of it. After so many years, he would actually hear this vocabulary again in this bitter cold land.

The memories were recalled, Lorenzo couldn’t help but think of the various things in the valley town. He had not experienced them personally. All the memories came from the echo of the soul of 047. These memories are so real, as if Lorenzo and They go together.

  "How do you know this?" Lorenzo asked incomprehensibly, "Evangelical churches have surrounded them countless times in history, but every time they can always return, they spread doctrine in some uncontrolled places."

   "But in recent years, these guys have disappeared. The last time I contacted the end association was many years ago, we also drove them to death."

  Lorenzo is curious how Ragnar knew that in this land far away from the gospel church, a Viking actually knew their existence.

   "It's very simple, because we also have a group of guys who claim to be an association at the end."

   Ragnar said helplessly.

"These members of the association have misinterpreted and used Odin’s beliefs and brought me a lot of trouble, and you, the demon hunter of the Gospel Church, you are an expert in dealing with these things. This is what I want to see you for. reason."

  "Is that so? That might disappoint you. I am an expert in hunting demons. I haven't contacted too much in the end. The only knowledge is from the classics in the gospel church." Lorenzo said.

   "That's enough. The records of the Gospel Church are somewhat reference-based, much better than us rude Vikings."

   Ragner said happily. Obviously, he is well aware of the drawbacks of the Vikings in certain aspects.

  The history of the Vikings is a history of civil war mixed with beliefs, and because of the opposition between the lords, each person’s story is different. In addition to the war, the Vikings died too quickly, and these records are also messy.

Ragnar wanted to trace the history of the Vikings, but he found that there was no such profession as a recorder among the Vikings. The only thing that touched the spot was the shamans who talked about them. There are nine sentences in ten sentences. It doesn't leave Odin God, there is no reference value at all.

"The only reliable thing is the bard's chanting. After the Viking wins a battle, he will let the bard sing his achievements. I ordered people to collect most of the information and reluctantly integrated it. A history, a history from different bardic populations."

  Ragna looked even more distressed.

"But what a bard looks like, you also know, the story will become more and more exaggerated in the long narration, and even stranger... like singing to me." He held up an example with himself, "Yin In the words of the travel poet, I am a warrior who is blessed by God Odin. In my battle, the thunder and storm walk with me and destroy my enemies."

  Lorenzo's expression is a bit strange.

   "Actually? Actually, I was not taken care of at all. I was just too unlucky. When I was at war with the opponent, it happened to be caught in a storm."

   Ragnar sighed, not knowing whether to praise the bards or scold them.

   "So the history of the bard is not credible?" Lorenzo said.

   "No, on the contrary, their history is of great reference value, but they have been magically transformed too much."

   Ragnar’s tone is serious, his eyes are full of keenness and wisdom, insight into the development of the situation.

"The bard’s story may be very exaggerated, but the story itself must have happened before. It can’t be made out of nothing. Just like your evangelical church’s mythology, it must have happened at some time in the past. It’s just a latecomer. It is impossible to know all of this in a rational area, only to deify it."

  Lorenzo's eyes shrunk together, and he and Ragnar looked at each other.

The origins and legends of the gospel church, about demons, about secret blood, all of these, as Ragnar said, can be fully understood by reason, but because people at that time did not have the ability to see clearly All, they can only place sacred words on the unknown.

The first saints brought "Revelation" and "Gospel" from the end of the world. The actual situation may not be so sacred, but it is certain that someone must have come here many years ago. What's taken away, that's enough.

  No... more than that.

  Since arriving in the Viking countries, Lorenzo has always had a strange feeling, and now he finally knows what this feeling is because of.

  Vikings rob each other for more people to survive. This is similar to the birth control plan of the country builders. Humans are always trapped by the same problems.

  More importantly, those myths originated from the Vikings.

  Looking at these myths from the perspective of Ragnar, they are nothing more than exaggerated history. What about Odin? Where is the Hall of Valor? Even...the gods at dusk.

  Why, why is there a legend that the world is going to ruin in this distant Viking kingdom? Just like the cognition of the country builders, the coming nightmare, the doomsday that Lawrence saw in his eyes.

   People who have not interacted at all, but weirdly reached a commonality, restoring the original appearance and reality of this world.

"for example?"

  Lorenzo picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and the cold liquid slid across his throat, making his consciousness sober a lot.

"For example, in the chants of the bard, they said that there was a pioneer in the final association. He was dressed in silver armor, hidden in a cloak, and holding a cold spear in his hand, walking around the world. In every corner."

  Ragna describes the mysterious existence.

   "God Odin?"

   Lorenzo asked, Ragnar’s description of the pioneer made him immediately think of Odin.

"Who knows? But many people do regard him as the incarnation of the **** Odin. They are more pious about the idea of ​​end-of-community. In fact, you have also noticed, Mr. Holmes, the idea of ​​end-of-community, and us The beliefs of the Jing people are quite similar. They are all going to death in silence, and relying on these, they spread quickly in the Viking countries."

  Ragna lowered his head, his tone became a little depressed.

  “Sometimes I wonder, did the end-of-community derive the faith of the Vikings, or did the faith of the Vikings derive the end-of-community?

  These lunatics have brought me a lot of trouble, and I have traced their existence outwards, not only in the Viking countries, but also in other regions where there have been signs of final association, right? "

  Lorenzo nodded, affirming Ragnar’s statement.

"Yes, there are clear records in the Gospel Church, and the final associations have been recorded in multiple regions, even if the demon hunters burn them to ashes, but after many years, some guys will always regain the name. Reappearing in the world. The gospel church has been tracking it for a long time, but it has not been able to understand how they continue."

  There was a severe chill in the words.

   "Obviously we should kill them all. We will kill them all."

  Looking back on the past, these unnoticeable things revealed a mystery, and Lorenzo was also troubled with Ragnar, and the atmosphere was a little bit solemn.

Haibod couldn’t join the conversation at all, and he didn’t want to join. He didn’t understand most of what the two people said, so he could only drink and eat on his own, and finally sat in a chair, like a sculpture. .

   "I know why this is." Ragner said.

"you know?"

  Lorenzo felt that something was wrong. The gospel church had been chasing for so long, but failed to understand the ability of the end-of-term association to continue. As a result, Ragnar actually knew about it.

  "It’s no secret, Mr. Holmes, you can go to a remote Viking village. There may be believers in the end-of-association there. If you ask, he will tell you the story of the end-of-association."

  Ragna felt that Lorenzo’s expression at the moment was very interesting, even Lorenzo could not think of it. The answer to the things he was troubled by was in the Viking countries, or the kind that can be seen everywhere.

  "The expansion of the end-of-community is largely dependent on the singing of the bard. In the story, the end-of-community has such a person."

  "Pioneer?"

   "Yes." Ragner explained.

"The pioneer serves as a spiritual symbol in the final association. When the final association in a region completes its mission, he will leave and bring the idea to another land, just like a missionary, walking on the ground. It’s going on a long mission."

   "Completing the mission... does it mean absolute death?" Lorenzo asked.

"Do you think there are other missions for the final association?" Ragner asked rhetorically, "After completing the absolute death, the pioneer will leave and spread the death to other places. This can explain Why terminal associations always return, because we have never eradicated them. The pioneers walking on the ground also corresponded to the reasons why terminal associations appeared in many areas."

   "But there is still something wrong, what you said, there is absolutely no relevant information from the gospel church, especially the pioneer part."

  Lorenzo doesn’t believe this very much. There is no mention of pioneers in the gospel church. It stands to reason that he should be the key target.

   "And there is another problem. Even if the pioneer can escape countless encirclement and suppression, how did the pioneer pass it on?"

  In this long period of time, under the intensive pursuit of the gospel church, how did the pioneers ensure the iteration among the pioneers?

  “There is also the most important problem, the end of association, the end of all things... Then what is the meaning of its existence?"

  Lorenzo can’t figure it out, but can’t figure it out anyway.

"Any group appears for what, interest or a certain goal, but the ultimate goal of the association is the end of all things, absolute death... But no one wants to die, right? So what about the pioneers? Do these things?"

This final association is full of weird distortions no matter how you look at it. Lorenzo has also come into contact with similar cults, but they all act for certain benefits. Among a group of lunatics, there will always be a few sober. Those in power.

"Also, why can Pioneers succeed again and again? We eliminated an end-to-end association, and he created it again, repeating it over the course of these long months. The most important thing is that every generation of pioneers has this Such a talent, what kind of cult is there, why is this ability bad?"

  Lorenzo threw out all the questions in one go.

  "Maybe you really get something because of death, Mr. Holmes."

   Ragnar responded calmly, his expression became very indifferent, his eyes were slightly hollow, as if he was looking at something that didn't exist.

   "What did you say?" Lorenzo wondered if he had heard it wrong.

   "Like the chant of a bard, some things may really exist, but they have been exaggerated and misunderstood by later generations. Perhaps... after death, there really exists the Hall of Valor, and this is what the final association pursues."

  Ragna retracted his eyes and looked at Lorenzo again. He raised the glass, only to find that the wine in it had been drunk.

"But is it true or nonsense? Who can know? No, maybe you will know. They all say that the end of the sea of ​​silence is the residence of the gods, the place of the Hall of Valor, if If you can succeed, perhaps you can see through the divinity of the myth and find the truth of all things."

  Lorenzo seemed to understand Ragnar’s meaning, he felt a slight cold, and swept along the surface of his skin.

   "Do you think there is something at the end of the sea of ​​silence, and this thing has been twisted by you into the residence of the gods, the hall of heroes and the like."

  Myth and reality overlap, and the fog disappears.

   "Almost, anyway, it is certain that there must be something at the end of the sea of ​​silence, otherwise you Yingerweig will not spend such a lot of manpower to explore that ghost place on the eve of the war.

  And this sea area is protected by mysterious and grotesque forces, and has been isolated from the world for countless years. "

The Viking’s thinking was sharper than Lorenzo thought, or stubborn. He believed that everything has its origin, even myths and legends, although this is the conclusion drawn from the bard’s own experience in singing, But he believed so much that Ragnar could easily guess the existence of the end of the world.

   "Is this a great wisdom?" Lorenzo muttered in his heart.

   "As for what you said, the part about the pioneers, this one is also very simple. You can also get the answer if you go out and ask a bard."

  Ragna recalls the chants of the bards, and tells Lorenzo the mystery of the pioneers.

  "The pioneer is the incarnation of Odin. He is immortal, he is immortal, and he is eternal."

   "In this case, the part about inheritance can also be explained, because the pioneer has never died, he has always been alive in this world."

  "Are there people really immortal?" Lorenzo thought this was a little impractical.

  "Then ask yourself if you want to believe it, Mr. Holmes." Ragnar did not insist on these mysterious things.

  "Do you want me as a professional to help you solve the final association?"

   "No, no, no, how could it happen, this kind of thing should be done by myself. The reason why I tell you this is because it is related to your actions in Jihai."

  Ragner looked at Lorenzo's increasingly puzzled face, and he realized his negligence.

   "Wait, didn't I tell you this before?"

  Maybe it was too much, and Ragnar’s thoughts were a little messy.

   "What are you talking about!"

  Lorenzo looked sad and indignant. In total, this guy had forgotten the most important thing.

   "Your navigator, Frocky the shipbuilder."

  Ragna hurriedly said the name.

   "He is a senior member of the final association."
