Creed of the heavens

"Apollo, Hermes, Elucia, Hades, Hephaestus, these projects are just subprograms under Gaia, and she is in charge of the unified management."

Lu Xiao tapped her fingers on the desk subconsciously: "Then where is she now? Is there a way to communicate with her?"

"That's the problem."

Aletheia frowned and said: "I traced through the program directly connected to Gaia on the 9th cradle, but I couldn't find any traces of Gaia. I could only find a lot of complicated data fragments and incomplete codes sporadically."

"Recombining these data and codes requires a huge amount of calculations. Even with the help of Consus, it will take at least 53 months to restore them using the main control terminal of Vault 12."

Lu Xiao rubbed her chin and pondered: "You guys start first, I have a hunch that the most critical information may be recorded in these data fragments."

There is no one in the No. 9 cradle, and the first group of new humans escaped from the cradle more than 700 years ago.

It is preliminarily speculated that they should be the ancestors of the Nora tribe.

"So, what happened to the Kingdom of the Sun discovered by the drone on the west side of the base? Humans released from other cradles? Why did their civilization develop much faster than the Nora?"

Aletheia: "I don't know for the time being, we can only wait for Yongzhen to bring back more information and analyze it in depth."

"Consus and I are going to do our best to restore the data. I will leave an automatic answering subroutine. You can ask her if you have any questions, but there is no guarantee that you will get an answer."

While Lu Xiao was busy exploring the holy land of the Nora tribe, Yongzhen had followed the passing business traveler deep into the territory of the Sun Kingdom.

Compared with the original scenery of the Nora tribe, the territory of the Sun Kingdom has obvious characteristics of the early city-state civilization.

Due to the lack of animal species, the Sun Kingdom has chosen a development path based on farming, and animal husbandry is only auxiliary.

In the process of exploring the Sun Kingdom, Yongzhen obtained a lot of useful information.

The official name of the Kingdom of the Sun is Calgar, and the entire kingdom believes in the sun. Yongzhen can hear the praise of the sun from the people of the kingdom at any time during his travels.

More than two years ago, a civil strife broke out in Calgar Kingdom.

The 13th Sun King, Geelong, was cruel and incompetent. After he came to power, he alienated the ties with Oxalan, Banuk and other tribes, and at the same time set off a war with Nora and Oxelan.

The war between the three clans lasted for several years. The more developed Kingdom of Calgar almost suppressed Nora throughout the whole process, and O'Selan, who had excellent weapon manufacturing technology, had each other's victories.

But in the end Calgar Kingdom still failed to defeat the Nora tribe. When the war reached a critical moment, Geelong's eldest son Yavid stood up.

With the help of Otheran's mercenaries, Yavid secretly won over many princes and nobles who were dissatisfied with Geelong, and overthrew his father's brutal rule in one fell swoop through a military coup.

Immediately after seizing the throne, Arvid ended the war and hoped to restore friendship with the Nora, Otheran, and Banuk tribes.

However, it is easy to form hatred, but it is difficult to eliminate it.

The Nora tribe was originally xenophobic. Having experienced a war of aggression, Nora became even more disgusted with the Kingdom of Calgar and completely cut off the business relationship between the two countries.

Under the order of the eldest mother, the Nora tribe closed the border. Anyone who dares to enter the territory of the Nora tribe will be mercilessly attacked.

Although O'Selan is not as extreme as the Nora tribe, their rulers are not so easy to forgive the Calgar Kingdom, and the atmosphere of tension between the two sides has remained to this day.

In order to show his inclusive attitude, the new Sun King Yavid reused the Otheran mercenaries who helped him win the throne, and the Sun Kingdom restored peace under his wise governance.

But according to the information obtained by Yongzhen, there are still many undercurrents surging in the seemingly peaceful Calgar Kingdom.

There are two sides of light and shadow in Calgar's sun belief.

Under the use of some people who were unwilling to give up their rights, the death of the mad king Geelong was described by them as the destruction of the sun recorded in religious classics, and the shadow after the sun fell would sweep the earth instead.

Bahava, the former priest of Calga, and Siris, the general, hijacked the queen and the little prince and fled to Sunset Fort. The two joined forces to put the little prince on the throne. They were known as Shadow Calga. In recent years, they have been trying to recover from Yavid. Take back the throne.

After obtaining enough information, Yongzhen crushed the one-time teleportation talisman made by Lu Xiao, and returned to Vault 53 from Calgar Kingdom.

Yongzhen spent a lot of time in Calgar Kingdom. When she returned to the base, Lu Xiao had been exploring the Nora territory for half a month.

During this time, Aletheia and Consus have been working hard to sort out the data fragments recovered from Cradle 9.

Lu Xiao took over Aletheia's command and ordered the mechanical beast under her own control to go to the No. 9 cradle through the portal and remove all the technological equipment in the cradle.

"Calgar? And Shadow Calgar?"

After listening to Yongzhen's report, Lu Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "I thought the whole world lived a primitive tribal life like the Nora people, but I didn't expect the Sun Kingdom next door to have time to engage in political struggles .”

Yongzhen's expression was a bit dignified: "Although the birth of Shadow Calgar conforms to the religious teachings of the Sun Kingdom, I always feel that there is a problem behind this incident."

"Oh?"

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows: "How do you say?"

"The timing is perfect."

Yongzhen clicked on her Focus and played the holographic image she recorded during the trip.

"Calga's capital is called Meridian City. It is located on a highland, and its scale is quite large. It is completely different from the original tribe of the Nora tribe."

"The Sunset Castle occupied by Shadow Calgar is located in the desert northwest of Meridian City. High Priest Bahava and General Sirius chose to name the castle after Sunset should have been premeditated."

"In the process of searching secretly, I discovered an underground organization called the Eclipse Sect."

"Although there is no definite evidence, based on their terrorist attacks mainly targeting Calgar Kingdom, I speculate that the Eclipse Cult has an inseparable connection with Shadow Calgar."

"The most important thing is that almost every member of the Eclipse Cult wears Focus, and they can use it proficiently."

"I saw with my own eyes that the Eclipse Sect targeted the weak points of mechanical beasts in the wild, and they can also communicate remotely through Focus."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao's expression became serious: "Although the Kingdom of Calgar is much more developed than the Nora, it is at best at the level of the ancient kingdom. How do they know how to use such a high-tech device as Focus?"

Chapter 431 Wholesale Focus?

It's not that Lu Xiao looks down on the Calgarians, you can get a glimpse of it from Yongzhen's performance when he first got Focus.

At that time, she fiddled with it in a daze for a long time, and gradually learned how to use Focus under the guidance of Lu Xiao and Aletheia.

Even so, Yongzhen can't guarantee that he can use it as proficiently as Lu Xiao, at best he is just following the gourd.

This is true for Yongzhen, who has received modern technology tutoring, let alone the followers of the Eclipse Sect.

"I understand what you mean."

Lu Xiao knocked on the table solemnly: "Do you suspect that there is another layer of shady behind the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Calgar, who taught Shadow Calgar to use a high-tech personal terminal like Focus?"

"Yes, and the possibility of this is not low."

Lu Xiao stared blankly at the distant view of Meridian City in the holographic projection: "Could it be Hades whose body is still unknown?"

After some discussion, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen decided to go to the Kingdom of Calgar together to investigate the shady behind the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Calgar.

Cradle No. 9, which is located in the holy land of the Nora tribe, has nothing of value. Lu Xiao directed the mechanical beasts to move all unbroken equipment in the cradle to No. 53 shelter.
