Chapter 276: Holy Word
Bernice has returned to the Lantern Dream camp.
In the subsequent conversation, Bernice asked Lind many questions in a roundabout way, including questions about the subsequent cooperation.
The Lantern Dream follows the will of the goddess and has always regarded the continuation of human civilization as its top priority. Under such circumstances, the Lantern Dream inevitably went to extremes and developed some very evil technologies through the divine power retained in the oracle sent down by the goddess.
For example, online dreaming.
In fact, Lind has always been very interested in this technology, but Lantern Dream has always been unwilling to fully disclose this technology to Lind. Moreover, this technology requires the use of many brain servants, that is, living people, to turn these brain servants into tools that cannot think for themselves and can only provide computing power.
So after many considerations, Linde temporarily gave up this technology.
But things are different now. After the research on super-level magic began, the gray-white-collar industry has ushered in its second technological explosion. Although many technologies are still in the research institute and have not been implemented, Lind feels that it may not be impossible to find a substitute for brain servants in the future.
Lantern Dream also needs to re-examine Linde, and this cooperation has been put on the agenda again.
Bernice came to the bed in a secret residence in the camp. Not long after she lay there, she fell asleep. In her dream, she repeated her conversation with Lind word for word to the cardinals in the dream with lanterns and the Saint.
Even in dreams, the scene can be recreated according to Bernice's imagination.
Lantern Dream is no longer capturing brain servants in the North, but other parts of the continent are still in constant war. Especially recently, the war on the southwestern border of Anjou and Capet has been getting more and more intense, and other small countries have also begun to become restless.
This provided a sufficient source of brain servants for the Lantern Dream, and even the computing power began to gradually increase.
It’s just that the reenactment in the dream contains many of Bernice’s subjective thoughts. For example, in Bernice’s reenactment, Linde, who was not kind but at most serious and solemn, became aloof and mysterious.
The cardinal and the saint who led the group fell silent after hearing Bernice's description.
Finally, the saint with a black mist body spoke first: "In other words, Sister Lantern, you suspect that the survivor of the Golden Age can understand the oracle of the goddess, or even communicate with her directly, right?"
Bernice nodded and responded, "Lady Saint, it is very possible. I think the other party may have mastered the legendary Holy Word Technique. We need to re-evaluate this survivor of the Golden Age."
At the same time, Bernice also reenacted Professor Linde’s own Chinese language in her dream.
"It could be a Golden Age language, or even a form of hieroglyphics."
Bernice didn't need to emphasize this specifically. After all, Linde himself had already admitted it. Many cardinals prayed in their hearts according to Professor Linde's phrases in the scene. Although the projection couldn't see the expressions on their faces, the ending could be known by looking at the somewhat unstable dreams around the cardinals.
The saint in the lead was even more clear that the pronunciation of this voice was very similar to the beginning part of the goddess' oracle.
This also further confirms the saint's guess that the goddess' latest oracle may not be one sentence, but three sentences.
"Can you decipher it?"
The leading saint looked at the other cardinals.
"It's hard."
A cardinal stood up and said, "Not to mention that the other party did not explain to the Sister of the Lamplighter what this sentence means, and even this sentence only has pronunciation and no corresponding text, it is almost impossible to decipher."
Many cardinals lowered their heads in disappointment. Even the cardinal stationed in the Citadel said so, which meant that there was basically no possibility of deciphering the code.
"And even if we crack it, can we really use it?"
The cardinal stationed in the Citadel continued, "The language that can communicate with the goddess is already the legendary Holy Word. The language itself carries divine power. People who are not closely connected to the goddess will not be able to exert the original power of this language even if they learn it, and may even suffer backlash."
However, the cardinal changed the subject and said, "Even so, I think we still need to communicate with each other. The Holy Word has been lost, and the survivors of the Golden Age are our only hope to learn it again."
The cardinals nodded when they heard this. If they could learn the Holy Word from the survivors of the Golden Age, then the Lantern Dream might really be able to return to the sunlight.
At this time, the leading saint spoke again and asked, "Is it worth it to exchange our technology for this language?"
This is not questioning whether the so-called Holy Word is comparable to the technology currently mastered by Lantern Dream, but the exact opposite. Is the technology mastered by Lantern Dream really worth exchanging for Holy Word?
Does this survivor of the Golden Age really think highly of the Lantern Dreaming technology? Linde had previously shown that he was very interested in the Lantern Dreaming technology, but that was all. Otherwise, the two sides would have already carried out a deeper cooperation.
Moreover, for these fanatics, how can a language that can be used to communicate with the God they serve be compared with the technology they have derived by using God's authority?
Even if Lind was willing to make the exchange, these fanatical believers felt that it was too cheap and would damage the dignity of the goddess, so they would never agree to it.
So what else does Lantern Dream have that Lind is interested in?
The leading saint glanced at the lantern on the table. It was obvious that only the authority of the goddess could be compared with the language that could communicate with the goddess.
But this is the foundation of Lantern Dream. If even this authority is handed over, Linde and Lantern Dream will no longer be partners, but a superior-subordinate relationship.
Everyone also thought of this and stopped talking. Many people had opposed contact with this survivor of the Golden Age. After all, the communication between the two sides was only superficial. Most of the time it was an exchange of interests between a cultist and a lord, which was of no substance.
Not even a bit of the technology from the Golden Age was exchanged, and most of the time it was Lantern Dream that made the one-sided contribution.
But now it doesn't matter anymore. No one questions the importance of contacting this survivor of the Golden Age, even if the other party doesn't know as many secrets as themselves.
The language of the Golden Age can communicate directly with the goddess and may be the prototype of the Holy Word. This discovery alone is enough to keep many people awake at night, not to mention that the people of the Golden Age are standing in front of them alive.
The leading saint looked around and said, "Since none of you have a better solution, then please awaken my body and let me personally meet this survivor of the Golden Age."
Hearing this, Bernice knelt down and said, "But Saint, every minute you move with your body is very precious, and if you start to move, the eyes of various churches will become alert."
The leading saint shook her head and said, "I put my body into a deep sleep, isn't it for times like this?"
"As for the church of the false gods, they didn't even interfere with the demon god of the demon race. They have long lost the courage to fight for their own gods. What is there to be afraid of in such a church?"
