Chapter 195 The Gate of Hell
"The task is completed, all attributes +2, skill points +3."

"Huh? It's been a long time for you to judge. It's been a few days. Forget it, it's better than nothing." Li Peijun glanced at the desktop with contempt. answer.

"Because I have been struggling for a long time to determine the conditions for defeat, the mission rewards will only take effect now."

Li Peijun gave him a blank look. He didn't expect the system to pick words so much, so he replied: "Don't worry too much about it in the future, as long as you win this kind of mission, don't play fancy tricks. It's too troublesome. It’s easy to get out of hand.”

Since Li Peijun planned to carry out geological exploration work in the consular area later, he moved all the skill points to geography this time, and checked the character panel again.

"Very good, let's find a big gold mine in Hafleur now." Li Peijun stretched his arms and was immediately attracted by an urgent letter from Britain.

The title on the letter reads impressively: The Gates of Hell Appeared in London
"Suocia, did you go get white bread again?" Socia sneaked in while she was not paying attention to the door, but there were still unprocessed bread crumbs in the corner of her mouth. He was caught by himself.

"I can't help it, I'm really hungry, you know, it's winter..." Socia also started to explain on her own, but Li Peijun was too lazy to pursue it, and turned his attention back to the content of the letter.

The letter mentioned that a huge deep pit suddenly appeared on the outskirts of London. Farmers who found it nearby said that it was bottomless.

In addition, according to the description of the onlookers, the giant pit also made strange noises. No one dared to go into the pit to find out. A few days after the giant pit appeared, the external temperature suddenly soared, attracting many poor civilians nearby to come here to keep warm. The King of England also sent people here to investigate after hearing the news.

When they held up the torches and tried to illuminate everything in the pit, an accident happened. The vision in front of them began to distort and deform. The burning flames also broke away from the wooden sticks and spread freely in the air. The scorching sensation spread over the surface, and the soldiers who were persuading to investigate Withdrew back to tens of meters away.

The civilians who witnessed all this began to spread the horror of the giant pit widely. They said that this is the gate of hell, the pit is filled with colorless fire, and the end of the pit is the gate of hell. It is about to invade the world.

The chamber of commerce also sent people to check the scene, and there was nothing unusual, but the King of England, who was deeply frightened at the time, had already summoned soldiers to bury the huge pit with earth and rocks. It took him nearly a day to spend 100 people Even so, the legend of the gate of hell is still widely spread.

"It's really an interesting science fiction story." Li Peijun didn't feel any throbbing. He quickly understood what the giant pit in London was all about. That's what caused the current impact.

"I have seen similar situations before, but it is not as exaggerated as described in the letter." Sosia also expressed her opinion after reading the letter.

Li Peijun explained: "Natural gas leakage accidents are also big and small. The giant pit in London should be the natural gas on the shallow surface that leaked to the surface due to the landslide or some other reason. The sizzling sound of high pressure and continuous extravasation.”

"As for the distorted line of sight and the free-moving fire, it is also due to the characteristics of natural gas. The infiltrated natural gas is a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It is easy to feel the change of line of sight under the interference of heat waves. In addition, it is a flammable gas. When a torch touches it, the air The natural gas in it was instantly ignited."

Seeing Sosia's confused expression, Li Peijun waved his hand and said, "You don't need to understand this. You just need to know that there is no such thing as the Gate of Hell. You probably understand the word natural gas as a special kind of air." Enough."

"How do you know so much, and you don't refer to the annotations in the Bible." Socia wondered.

Li Peijun shrugged, "Real knowledge is not written in the Bible. It comes from what you see and hear. Don't be blinded by the content in the Bible. The Bible is only read when there are no words of praise. It’s just a general reading material.”

Without waiting for Socia to intervene, Li Peijun continued: "I don't know what impact this Hell's Gate incident will have on the foundation of the king's rule. It stands to reason that since the common people are so superstitious, if someone with ulterior motives deliberately If it is processed and forged, it will inevitably cause instability among the people, and if no one does this kind of thing, I have no choice but to do it myself."

Socia leaned over and asked, "What are you going to do?"

At this time, Li Peijun picked up the dusty Bible on the table, wiped the ashes off the cover, and began to read it. "Find a theoretical basis that can attack the legitimacy of the King of England, and then extract some passages from the Bible to add embellishments, and make this hasty King of Kings propaganda a synonym for heinous. Anyway, the gate of hell found is near his base camp. , the King of England cannot escape the relationship."

After searching for the information, Li Peijun began to think about the words. Naturally, this kind of propaganda offensive must cover everything from top to bottom. At least three versions of the story are needed. One is for the church, and the other is for the nobles of England. , and there is another one that is meant for the people at the bottom to listen to.

"A Satan became the king of England. After contacting the previous famine incident in East Sussex, it is a matter of course. I have already imagined that the common people will put the king of England on the stake. The scene of roasting to death, or the church expelled the King of England, leaving him alone and helpless..."

"Wait, don't get excited, there is still a letter here, signed by Duke Afia." Socia handed over an eye-catching letter. After all, all the letters in Harfleur use a uniform cover. , the letterheads from other places are particularly obvious in it.

"Conscription order?" Li Peijun put down the letter, and recalled the Hell's Gate incident again, with a sly smile on his face.

"It seems that this guy Aifea is not simple. He moves much faster than me." Li Peijun tidied up and prepared to start recruiting manpower to land in Britain again.

Socia asked about the specifics of the mobilization, and reminded again: "How much standing army do you plan to send, I'm afraid that if you expose your strength at once, Afia will target us in the future."

Li Peijun seemed to be woken up, and he thought about it and replied: "Four or five hundred infantry, it's better to go out and do nothing. Let's see if we can fish in troubled waters and get something out of it."
