I offered to see what the gods of the Blue Star natives believed in - or even better to visit their churches, and when I heard the "alien visitor" make this request, the experts and scholars present were all very happy - well, it was basically expected, since this world has developed to such a high level of technical skill and still maintains religious supremacy, even "scientists" (or should I call them magicians here?). Spacecraft were developed under the guidance of the gods, so I have reason to believe that these natives would be more than happy to introduce their gods to the "Visitors from Heaven".\\

Would they even consider serving to me and Sandora? I thought of this interesting guess, and smiled at Sandora, and it seemed that Her Majesty the Queen had thought of joining me.

"We're glad that you're so interested in our gods, and we're happy to let more races know about the greatness of the gods," an old man sitting a little back frowned, and couldn't help but speak, "When you appeared, we had already held a prayer, but the gods haven't responded yet, and I think the gods must be happy to know that their children have taken this crucial step in the evolution of civilization...... Oh, you'd like to see our gods, of course, but maybe you'll have to wait a bit, I've informed the temple, but a longer ritual isn't over yet, and I hope the guests can wait. ”

"This is one of the most revered priests of the god of war on our planet. Ray, "Someone immediately introduced me and Sandora to the old man over there, "who is dedicated to the teachings of the gods and is also a great supporter of various space exploration projects......

"Oh, oh, hello." I nodded to the High Priest known as "Thunder", and after a while of communication, I already had a little understanding of the social form of this world. As it appears on the surface. The Blue Star is a civilized civilization developed by magic, or occult techniques, and the power of magic is used in all aspects, and on this planet, magicians and arcane scholars are roughly equivalent to the engineers and scientists on Earth, and enjoy high honors. At the same time, there is a single religion in the entire world. This religion has no name, and people simply refer to it as "church". The Church believes in the god of war. This god has supreme prestige, and all men, women, and children in the world firmly believe in the existence of the god of war, and they are sure that it is the god of war who protects the entire world and the world, so that they can have today's peaceful life. What is very surprising is that the religion of this world far from hindering the development of the arts, or even the opposite: on the blue star, the church is the faithful defender and promoter of the arts. They claim that the gods have decreed. Let mortals freely use their creativity, and encourage mortals to pursue the truth of the world. Most of the cutting-edge techniques in this world are actually promoted by the Church. Even the somewhat bizarre romantic alien lover before, Old Man Joe. He's also a second-level priest - well, I really didn't see the last thing before.

The Blue Star used to have an "Age of Ignorance" with constant strife and war, but after one of the powerful forces obtained the revelation of the God of War and turned the world up in a year, the planet is now under the leadership of a unified government, and the leader of all mankind in the Blue Star is a group called the "Parliament", which consists of four parts: civilians running for parliament; representatives of the industry and commerce of science and agriculture; senior clergy of the Church; Traditionally, the parties rotate, with the above four parts having full equal voting rights, and the supreme speaker of the parliament is concurrently held by the supreme leader of the church: the Pope of the God of War. This is a relatively common and relatively stable political structure, and many worlds have similar "theoretically republican" governments. The fact that the Speaker of the Council is concurrently held by the Pope seems to be the most unfair part of the whole process, but it is supported by the people of the whole world: because they firmly believe that the Pope, who speaks directly to the God of War, will never lie and be partial, and no matter what the decision is, the Pope will not deliberately favor the members of the Church when making decisions in his capacity as Speaker.

"Yes, the Pope is the only one among the human race who cannot lie and be biased," said the middle-aged man in charge of explaining the local customs to us, with a look of awe on his face, "He needs to hold the Scepter of the God of War when announcing the decision of the Council, and if he violates the precepts of the gods, he will be punished on the spot." And this is precisely the 'last line of death' to ensure the political stability of Blue Star. ”

The other party did not mention whether there was really an unlucky pope who was struck by lightning in public, but looking at the determined looks on the faces of everyone at the scene, I am afraid that the so-called divine punishment is real. At this moment, Sandora and I couldn't help but look at each other, and we saw the same thing in each other's eyes:

Could it be that the gods of this world are ...... Is it the true god of the star field?

"We've been stuck here for a long time, now should we take a look at your city, right?" After building up initial trust in each other, and it seemed that the other party was no longer as close to the enemy as it was at the beginning, I finally couldn't help but speak, this place is a remote landing field, according to the scan, it is also hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest city, this arrangement is obviously because the authorities want to temporarily isolate the "aliens" in a relatively safe place, so that there is a buffer time to study whether the visitors are safe. Sandora and I can understand all of these actions, but we're still a little tired of delaying for too long—I'm already thinking that if the other party is too abrasive, Sandora and I will just flash away and change into local clothes and wander around on our own......

Anyway, there's nothing left to play about the alien landing, and there's no slice research in the second half, and there's no agent vs. little green guy - and Sandora and I are counting on buying a bunch of gadgets locally and going back to the little girls at home to share them.

"Uh......" One of the council delegates opened his mouth and hesitated slightly, just as two staff members pushed the door open and walked in (they were supposed to be talking to some higher-level leader). Real-time report on the on-site progress on our side), the council representative nodded reassuringly after seeing the two people, "Of course, the follow-up reception activities are ready, and now we can set off......"

"Don't host events," I said, frowning, "I said, let's just come down and have a look." You're making such a hassle, be careful that you really can't integrate into the interstellar civilization in the future - the sixth rule of intercultural communication: the more etiquette, the more troublesome, until both sides fully understand each other's cultural form, any etiquette and rules that have nothing to do with direct communication may cause major misunderstandings. ”

So a group of experts and scholars were stunned for a moment, and they took out small notebooks and hurriedly took notes, and Old Man Qiao raised his head and asked seriously: "Then what are the other five in front?" This knowledge is essential for a civilization as young as ours! ”

Me: "......"

Nima's sixth article is all made up, where can I find the first five for you!

Sandora held back a smile and stabbed me hard in the back, but there was still a cold expression on her face. He raised his chin at some of the stunned politicians, the ones other than the experts and scholars: "We want you to prepare low-key guides, we have a clear understanding of the local military. Technology. Politics and all other sensitive factors are not interested, you can help us according to the specifications of the tour group. If you understand, follow it. As for the so-called welcome events and receptions, as well as meetings with your politicians...... Well, I don't have time for the time being, but if he's willing to go shopping with us, I don't care. ”

Everyone at the scene was even more stunned. But the most respected priest of the god of war was still more decisive, and he patted the shoulder of one of the people next to him: "Do it." In the current situation, we are children who know nothing. ”

The expected greeting procession and escort were replaced by an inconspicuous hovercar. It seems that it should be a relatively common means of transportation in this world, and under Sandora's direct request and tough attitude, there are only a few people who walk with us, including the old man Joe, who is excited like a child, and the old man is still studying the problem of whether I lose dandruff. The rest of the big guys had to stay in the wasteland because of the sudden change in mission, wave goodbye to us in the exhaust, and wait for the next flight twenty minutes later......

"I guess there will be tons of people following me along the way, and they will all think that we haven't found out," this hovercar has a lot of space inside, but Sandora still squeezed into a seat with me, and leaned on my shoulder in a comfortable position, with an interested expression on her face, communicating her little evil taste with me through a mental connection, "What do you say will happen to them if we suddenly disappear at this time?" ”

I glanced at her: "Why don't we think about it at this time, a few alien conspiracy theorists and staunch human protectionists rushed out, stormed this hovercar and clamored to take back the planet from the aliens, the two groups of people fought inseparably, and finally the Fifth Fleet and the Blue Star had a deep misunderstanding and broke out into a big war, leaving a legend on the scorched earth of the world, about the ...... of the arrival of the Great Demon King"

Speaking of which, I feel like I'm afraid that Sandora and I are both possessed by shallow.

At this moment, I noticed that the scene outside had changed, and after passing through a road entrance that looked like a toll booth but no people were seen, the buildings outside the hovering car became densely populated, and became tall, beautiful, and neat, which was obviously entering the city. A city built by a highly developed (by the standards of earthlings) of a magical civilization. But maybe it's because I've seen too many strange otherworldly worlds, and the unique buildings and urban styles here don't feel too new to me, the biggest feature of this city is that most of the buildings are close to cylindrical - the indigenous inhabitants of the Blue Star seem to be quite fond of the "circle" and the geometry associated with it, their solo flying machine is a disk, the large spaceship is an ellipsoid, the building is a cylinder or hemisphere, this is a planet full of smooth parabolas, Moreover, the symmetry of the buildings is arranged according to the circle. There are no street lights on either side of the city's main roads, which are a bit wide compared to the earth, and in fact, there are no similar public lighting devices everywhere, so I wonder how they solve the problem of urban lighting at night. What else is puzzling is that the city is obviously quite large, but we didn't see too many pedestrians along the way, and the streets were deserted – I couldn't help but think that maybe the authorities had evacuated all the people.

Come to think of this. I looked up at the sky: this oval hovercar has a large piece on the roof that is transparent.

The clear, cloudless dome saw grayish-white shadows that covered almost the entire sky, and the shadows were too numerous to count, and some of the shadows were moving rapidly. It was the Fifth Fleet, which was located in orbit, and due to its location, part of the sun was blocked, but because the fleet had been evacuated. This aggregate, which was more than ten times larger than the blue star, did not completely turn this side of the planet into the night, but only left a large shadow in the sky. These ships are supposed to be the part of the planet that is relatively close, and the ships on the other side of the fleet are now out of the range that can be observed by the naked eye on the surface.

"Not long ago, the entire planet's daytime hemisphere fell into a twilight-like scene, causing a lot of panic, and then we learned that a fleet had appeared in space," Old Man Qiao noticed my gaze. Also looking at the sky, "Some people think that the invaders are coming." But I despise the imagination of those guys - to invade a planet the size of a stone with a fleet of this size? It's as ridiculous as sending an army of 100,000 against a bachelor who eats meat on a fasting day. I calculated that melting the entire Blue Star into a liquid would not be enough to give that fleet a bath, so I figured that you were not an invading army, so I led my own men to check on the situation. Hey, as I thought, old man, you're pretty talkative, I didn't even expect you to agree so quickly to move the ship out of the galaxy - I thought it would be difficult. ”

So you brought the alien communication manual you researched with you before you left, right?

"There are a lot of people gathered in front!" Sandora suddenly pointed out the window and whispered. Interrupted by my ramblings, I just noticed. After a period of unusually deserted neighborhoods, we finally came across the bustling side of the city – too much of a bustle!

Crowds of ordinary citizens gather in wide streets and roadside squares. Everyone was dressed in strange clothes, holding huge, eye-catching signs in their hands, and I tossed for a long time to open the window of the hovercar, and suddenly a wave of noise almost choked me, and the sound of the sky outside was like a storm. There were a number of high platforms along the road, perhaps improvised - and most of them were occupied by a group or groups of seemingly incendiary characters, and on the nearest platform stood an old man in a magician's robe, with a white beard, an old magician who was more Gandalf than Gandalf, waving his staff in his hand and shouting with lightning wrapped around his body: "In the name of magic! Aliens exist! ”

Then a group of mages below who seemed to have run out of Dalaran followed and raised their arms and shouted: "Citizens have the right to know the truth of the Dao!" Communication with aliens must all be made public! ”

On the other side, on the opposite platform, stood a group of young and limited magicians, also using arcane lightning to attract the attention of the public, holding up strange little green men models in their hands, each louder than the other: "Communication with aliens must be cautious!" And it's a matter for all of humanity! We call for this process to be made public! ”

The following citizens have a variety of slogans:

"It should be reported to the god of war immediately! We need God's direction to act now! ”

This is God's test for us to see if human civilization can get out of the cradle planet! We have to settle everything on our own in order to satisfy God! ”

"I was kidnapped by aliens ten years ago, and a large number of people with the same fate gathered around me! We have been neglected for many years, and now we are asking for an avenue where we can be open about our personal experiences, while welcoming more like-minded compatriots to join the team, and our contact details are ......"

"The Astrology Psychic Organization is hereby appealing! All those who have the special ability to speak directly to aliens through the radio waves should join forces, and we should be the key bridge to communicate with aliens - trust us, we can understand their language!! #￥%…………%#￥#%#￥%…… ￥！ ”

I hurriedly poked Old Man Qiao: "That sentence just now feels like the alien language you studied?" ”

Old Man Qiao's face was flushed: "I actively promote my research, and it seems that there is finally a folk version of ......"

I looked at the sky speechlessly, this strange old man is really harmful......

The scene outside really makes me feel calm, a groove stuck in my throat can't go up and down, you said that if you see such a citizen rally in an American science fiction blockbuster, it may be nothing, but now there is an old man Gandalf in a mage robe outside who is raising his arms and shouting "Aliens exist", I am once again deeply aware of the strong trend of mystery and technology eventually moving towards unification, and inevitably think of the blood elf bikers in Shadow City who ride heavy motorcycles on street racing, and the Minotaur and the Undercity Death Metal Rock Band......

The thought of Shadow City finally made me uncontrollable and covered my head: what kind of world did I build......

Old Man Joe and the priest of the god of war named "Ray" apologized to me and Sandora embarrassedly, they felt that it was a very shameful thing for the aliens to see such a gaffe of the people of the Blue Star, and it seemed that Old Man Ray was ready to order the evacuation of the people here, but Sandora and I immediately expressed our indifference and understanding of this matter - in fact, this is normal in many cases, there is no need to make a fuss, and Sandora and I will not have any grievances.

And after listening to my explanation, Mr. Joe also fell into deep thought: "It seems that the place called Hollywood does often come into contact with aliens, but they have been in contact so many times, and now they still stuff the president into the bomb shelter every time?" ”

Me: "Huh...... Hehehe......"

Just then, our hovercar went around a street corner, and suddenly a large and quiet clearing appeared in front of us.

Although less than a few dozen meters away is the scene of the citizens' meeting, lively like a war, but there is not a single idle person here who dares to make a loud noise, the whole area is shrouded in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, even as if the sound has been filtered, leaving only the standard ambient sound of 40 decibels—the two areas are very different, as if there is an invisible wall blocking the two sides.

Because in the middle of this clearing there is a statue that, for the locals, is a sacred statue that would rather die than be offended: the statue of their supreme god of war stands here.

I leaned out of the window and stared at the ten-meter-high, lifelike stone statue, and after thinking for a long time, there was only one sentence to describe the excitement in my heart at the moment:

Your uncle's 123!

(Sure enough, it was guessed by many people...... When I talk about the god of war, I think of who it is. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
