Chapter 1107: Fragments of the Eye of the World, Ancient Mist (Super long chapter, please vote)

After several hours of intense "friendly negotiations", the three major organizations finally reached a basic consensus.

There was no major objection to the first and second things Li Cheng mentioned, and there was actually no major objection to the third thing, which was to establish a church.

After all, with the B-level 'Hao Yi' here, World Tree and Moonlight can't interfere in forming the church of 'K'.

What's more, Li Cheng supports this matter.

Although they are still afraid of the god 'K', they have to admit that it was with the help of 'K' that they were able to save the real world several times before, so they are willing to show goodwill to 'K', or at least to 'Hao Yi'.

The focus of the debate is if 'K' can really bring down power to help the three major organizations deal with strange events and pollution incidents.

So who should this "knight group" that deals with weirdness and pollution belong to? And whose orders should they obey when dealing with pollution?

No one had any objection to the establishment of the Knights Templar, nor did they have any objection to the Knights Templar entering the territories of the three major organizations.

After all, the intensive strange and pollution incidents have almost penetrated the organizational structure of the three major organizations, and their existing extraordinary people are completely unable to handle all the pollution incidents.

These pollution incidents are contagious and spreadable, and a small breach may lead to a final dam collapse, so they are happy to teach them how to clean up the pollution.

But at the same time, they hope that the church will only come to "help" them, not to "replace" them.

This, in turn, raises new issues.

If the Knights of the Church in various organizations are actually controlled by these organizations, are they still Knights of the Church?
Of course, Howe actually doesn't care much about this issue.

After all, his plan was to have the Knights offer sacrifices and gifts to the City of Glory and the Maid Doll.

Once this kind of sacrifice takes place, the maid doll will draw some of its power from it, and this power can be directly transferred to him.

In other words, as long as this order is in operation, he can make a regular profit from it.

Moreover, the power of the gift comes entirely from him. If he doesn't like a certain "Knight Order", he can directly cut off the other party's gift.

Of course, it was impossible for him to completely hand over the Knights Templar to the three major organizations.

First, he had to maintain basic control over the Knights Templar. Once the organization became too large, it was inevitable that some people would want to use this power to gain benefits and cause killings.

Then the church will become another Glory Church.

Second, if he agreed too readily, the three major organizations would suspect that he had ulterior motives.

Therefore, 'Hao Yi' launched a fierce 'friendly exchange' with the three major organizations and finally determined a basic 'cooperation principle'.

First of all, the Knights of the Church are subordinate to the Church in principle, and the headquarters of the Church will be established in the 'Newland City-State' which is currently directly controlled by Hao Yi.

The "archbishops" in charge of various places are all dispatched by the Newland city-state and accept direct instructions from the Newland city-state.

Below the archbishop, there is a bishop in a certain area. All bishops are recommended by the local area with at least three candidates, who are selected by the archbishop and finally reported to the headquarters for decision.

The bishop must come from the local church and once established, he cannot be removed without the permission of the headquarters.

If the local church does not have a church member with sufficient qualifications, multiple church members can be recommended locally, and the archbishop will select a temporary bishop from among them to serve until the qualifications meet the requirements.

The interim bishop can be removed directly by the Archbishop.

All church organizations are only allowed to guide 'K's' beliefs and cannot interfere with the normal order of the local area.

Along with the church organization, corresponding knightly organizations are established in all regions. The supernatural organizations in all places will exchange information with the knightly organizations. The knightly organizations are only responsible for dealing with pollution and strange events, and are not responsible for other things.

In principle, the archbishop is the highest leader of the local knightly order. Members of the knightly order in each region are recommended by each region. After screening by the bishop, the confirmed candidates are handed over to the archbishop, who selects and finally determines the list.

All lists will be submitted to the Newland Headquarters for final confirmation and will grant membership of the Order.

If the archbishop believes that the candidate does not meet the requirements, he can directly reject the candidate and the bishop will select again.

If the application is rejected three times, the archbishop and the bishops whose names were rejected on the list must report to the Newland headquarters.

The headquarters will decide whether to remove the bishop and recommend a new candidate, replace the archbishop, or directly determine the list of candidates.

To sum up, there is only one principle: the local government is responsible for recommending candidates, and the church is responsible for appointing and dismissing personnel.

Of course, there is still a lot of "game" in the details.

For example, the bishop's recommendation requirement is "a qualified church member". This is useless in the early stages of the church's establishment when there is no qualified person.

All bishops in the early stage must be "insiders" recommended by the local authorities.

However, when the church develops to a certain extent, this will become a means to restrict the local right of recommendation. People who have worked in the church for many years will still have a certain recognition of the church, and these need to be changed slowly.

Of course, in order to avoid local chaos in the early stages, those without qualifications are all "temporary bishops", and the archbishop can appoint and dismiss them at will.

This is equivalent to expanding the power of the archbishop, allowing the archbishop in the early stage to "check and balance" the local areas so that the local areas will not go too far beyond the boundaries.

Under this rule, the local authorities in the early stages will certainly have a great influence on the church, allowing the church to become their "help".

At the same time, in order to gain this help, they will support the church as much as possible to enhance their own strength.

In the later period, the church will definitely get out of their control and gradually become "independent".

He Ao almost wrote this idea clearly, and everyone could understand it.

But this made the three major organizations feel at ease.

The future is the future, let’s get past the present first.

After all, these are just early rules, and rules are always being "perfected".

Of course, as a price to pay, as the cooperation with the church deepens, the three major organizations will certainly be influenced by the church in turn.

After all, 'cooperation' is mutual.

But that's for the future.

More detailed principles and regulations need further discussion.

This crude rule still has many loopholes.

But this is not something that people in this meeting need to consider.

Afterwards, special negotiators will sit together to discuss more detailed regulations.

By the time the meeting was over, it was already dark.

As the crowd dispersed, only He Ao, Hao Yi and Li Cheng were left in the conference room.

Li Cheng was just about to pack up when He Ao suddenly called out to him.

Hao Yi, who was standing by, handed Li Cheng a piece of paper with two patterns drawn on it.

"Is this some kind of text?"

Before He Ao could speak, Li Cheng looked at the pattern on the paper and asked in confusion.

Then he looked down at the two patterns, his eyes falling on the first one, "I think I've seen this pattern before."

"what?"

Before He Ao had the time to explain, he was stunned when he heard Li Cheng say this.

The first 'pattern' is actually the 196th Institute written in the language of the original First District of the Federation.

The second 'pattern' is written in the language of the second zone.

"Where did you see it?"

Hao Yi looked at Li Cheng and asked in a low voice.

"Probably when I entered the ruins for the second time,"

Li Cheng thought for a moment, as if thinking about how to describe it. After a brief pause, he looked up at the two of them and continued, "Do you know a 'tall tower' in the ruins?"

"Ah."

'Hao Yi' nodded.

"This pattern probably appeared in a facility about 50 kilometers north of the tower."

Li Cheng said slowly, "It should be a research facility with the main part underground. The ground part of the building has collapsed, but the underground building should be in good condition. There are many dangerous creatures underneath, and there should be many floors. However, I had just become a transcendent at that time, so I only went down to the second floor underground."

At this point, he paused and thought, "The fragment of the Eye of the World was found in that facility."

"Fragment of the Eye of the World?"

He Ao looked up at Li Cheng.

The first time he saw the term "Eye of the World" was in the book that recorded the talent sequence periodic table in the copy world.

After that, he also saw something called "Fragment of the Eye of the World" in the internal documents of the institute. The definition given by the institute said that this was an item that could keenly perceive extraordinary power.

However, he did not completely connect the 'Eye of the World' in the copy world with the 'Fragments of the Eye of the World' in the main world, because the two sides essentially did not speak the same language, and many things could not be completely translated.

Even the same extraordinary item has different names in the main world and the copy world.

However, here, hearing Li Cheng mention this "noun" again, he suddenly realized that these two might really be the same thing.

"Well, you've seen it,"

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Remember the talent testing room?"

"The place that detects the name and level of one's talent sequence?"

He Ao was slightly stunned, and quickly remembered the place where he first tested his "talent" in the main world.

It was a room filled with mithril in Xidu. Deep in the room, there was a thumb-sized gray crystal fragment sealed.

When he saw the crystal fragment, he gained a high-dimensional perspective similar to that when the blood-moistening jade pendant was activated, and was able to read the extraordinary information on his body.

It was also at that time that he learned that the power of martial arts was called the "kingdom" in the system of talent sequence.

At this moment, he suddenly realized the magic of the crystal fragment.

At least as far as he knew, fragments of B-level items could not achieve this level.

That was also a fragment of a high-level item? Just randomly displayed like that? For everyone to see?
Moreover, when Li Cheng had just entered the realm of transcendence, the passage to the ruins should have been very fragile, perhaps only accessible by F-class transcendents. But Li Cheng brought a "high-level item fragment" here?
"Yes,"

Li Cheng nodded. "I found three fragments in total, one large and two small. The large one is in the North City, and the small ones are in the West City and the East City. We built three 'Talent Testing Rooms' to store the three fragments."

He introduced slowly, "In addition to the detection talent, the large fragment has another special ability, which is to sense the opening of the ruins immediately. The closer it is, the easier it is to sense, so we can always detect the ruins passage that appears in the nearby high seas in advance."

"So that's it."

He Ao nodded slightly. He vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but he didn't know what.

Just as he was about to jump to the next topic, an orange-gray light flashed in his eyes.

He immediately raised his head and asked in confusion, "Dean, what level of extraordinary item does the Institute think the 'Fragment of the Eye of the World' is?"

"Ordinary items, right?"

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "World Tree and Moonlight also have similar items that can detect talent names, but they are slightly different from ours. Ours has slightly more functions."

"Then what kind of person do you think it is?"

Howe asked immediately.

"What person?"

Li Cheng was slightly stunned, the flashing electric light passed through his fingertips, and he seemed to be lost in a brief memory. "Except when the promotion is unclear, I will confirm the talent. I rarely look at those fragments, but if I really feel it, judging from the influence of that fragment, it makes me feel that..."

His voice gradually slowed down, and his tone gradually became heavier, "That thing is probably at least a fragment of an angel-level item, a very dangerous angel-level item!"

He reacted quickly, looked at He Ao, and whispered, "There is a certain 'break' in our cognition."

"Ah."

He Ao nodded slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Yang De had mentioned the term "fragment of the eye of the world" during a conversation before, but he didn't care.

Even when he saw the information related to this fragment, he just took a quick look at it, didn't pay much attention to it, and jumped away.

But the "Eye of the World" was a term mentioned in the "manuscript" that introduced the talent sequence periodic table. No matter what, whether there was a translation error or not, he should not be so "indifferent".

Moreover, high-level objects themselves can convey information, and "Eye of the World" may itself be a high-level noun.

It's like a person's neighbor is the president of a country. He sees him on TV every day and sometimes meets and greets him in the morning.

But when he met him in the morning, he didn't think that this was the 'President of the country', and he couldn't even remember that the other person was the president. He just thought that he was an ordinary neighbor uncle and he was not afraid at all.

And when he sees this uncle president on TV, he will naturally realize that the other party is a high-ranking and powerful president, and he will feel awe in his heart.

He knew that the 'President' and the 'Neighbor' were the same person, but whenever they met, he did not realize that the other person was the 'President'.

This is an invisible cognitive divide.

And from the very beginning, it affected everyone in the entire institute.

"when···"

He Ao opened his mouth slightly, then paused.

This 'fragment' is used to look at the 'talent', and the code name can be decided after looking at the talent.

In other words, every "superhuman" in the institute, whether formal or specially appointed, will go to see the fragment.

From that moment on, every viewer was 'affected'.

The reason why He Ao and Li Cheng were aware of the problem at this moment was not because the influence had disappeared, but because they both had angel items and were close to angels, and could "resist" this influence to a certain extent.

Before this, they didn't even notice any problem.

"It should be some kind of ability that is deliberately made us ignore it,"

Li Cheng's expression had completely darkened. He was obviously aware of how this fragment affected people. "It's very strong. Maybe we can realize its problem now, but when we go back and our attention is diverted, we will gradually be affected by it and ignore its status."

He picked up his phone, quickly typed a line of words, and clicked send. "I'll ask Lao Liu and the others to close the talent testing room first and not let anyone in."

"Ah."

He Ao nodded slightly.

While waiting for Li Cheng to finish sending the message, he looked at Li Cheng and asked in a low voice, "Dean, do you think it's dangerous?"

"The danger is definitely the danger,"

Li Cheng sighed lightly, "But at the moment, it doesn't seem to be our enemy, otherwise it would have many opportunities to summon gods and destroy this world when we are very weak. Now we can only monitor and study it first to find out what it wants to do."

"Um,"

He Ao nodded. He looked at Li Cheng and asked thoughtfully, "Dean, how did you get it out of the ruins?"

"I don't know either. At that time, the ruins passage was only accessible to F-level extraordinary people."

Li Cheng sighed and rubbed his brows. "At the time, I just thought it was an ordinary supernatural item. I thought I had picked up something good and made a fortune. To be honest, I can still recall how happy I was at that time."

"In a sense, I really found a treasure."

He Ao smiled and thought for a moment. "If it can pass through the ruins passage, either the fragment of the Eye of the World itself has a very low energy level and is just using some method to induce powerful energy to interfere with us, or this thing has some special way to pass through the ruins passage."

"perhaps,"

Li Cheng nodded and said, "I will continue to conduct research around this."

He smiled and said, "Maybe we can figure out some secrets of the ruins passage."

Then he glanced at the paper on the table, and then looked at Hao Yi, "So what are you looking for?"

"For what this institute might be studying."

Hao Yi took back the paper and said with a smile, "Thank you. Your information is very helpful to us."

"You're welcome, as long as it helps,"

Li Cheng laughed, "Compared with the information you gave us, this is nothing. I remember our previous agreement included the obligation to provide you with information about the ruins.

"But the research institute had not yet been fully established at that time, and there was no way to fully record the intelligence data, so it was not included in the information I gave you. If you hadn't come to me today, I might really not have remembered it."

Then he paused, slowly stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys chat."

"okay."

'Hao Yi' nodded slightly.

Although Li Cheng acted calm, it was obvious that he took the issue of the 'Fragment of the Eye of the World' very seriously and wanted to go back quickly to deal with it.

"correct,"

Li Cheng turned around to look at Hao Yi as he was about to leave. "We have already developed the first batch of experimental drugs for the formula you asked us to research. You can come and have a look when you are free."

"it is good!"

Hao Yi nodded in response.

······
After seeing Li Cheng off, the entire conference room fell silent. He Ao stared at the empty desk and fell into a brief silence.

The countdown in the lower right corner of his vision showed only three days left.

That is the day when the next copy opens.

196 Research Institute···Fifth underground floor···Eye of the World···Ruins Passage···
The fog of ancient times seemed to be gradually opening up a corner to him.

but,

He Ao looked down at the phone on the table.

Now there is a question, what should the emblem of the church be?
Five thousand three hundred words, asking for votes at the beginning of the month.
