Red Moon Returns

"In May 438 of the Fourth Age, the Lorenzo Federation in the New World, known in history as the Great Infection of Lorenzo, was introduced to Middle-earth in August of the same year, and to the ancient continent at the end of the year. In December 438, the evil god Black Goat Sabu ·Nicholas spit out the miraculous light that was swallowed by it. After many sacrifices to no avail, it was obtained by Gina Bryden, a believer in suffering. 43 Bryden used the miracle in Craford, the capital of the Lorenzo Federation. The light lasted for twenty-seven days, and the plague was finally driven away. By the time it was dispelled, the number of people infected by the plague in the three continents was as high as 970,000. "

"Fourth Epoch 697..."

As the book stammered, information about the miraculous light unfolded bit by bit in front of the four people.

It's not very detailed. Most of them are just like the first one. There are only simple time, place and tasks, causes, processes and results, without more detailed explanations.

But even so, from a few words, Lynch still got a lot of information, which can be regarded as a deeper understanding of the light of miracles and even the knowledge of strange objects in the entire world.

In fact, the most rare objects accommodated by various forces are the fourth level of destruction. Advent-level rare objects rarely appear in the world, and are usually hidden in certain special environments like the Gate of Reality and Illusion or the Light of Miracles. For example, the first time the light of miracles appeared was borrowed from the Black Goat, the Mother Goddess, the second time it was hidden by an evil god named the Faceless One, and the third time it came from a man with an elephant head. Evil gods, they collect these rare objects for various reasons, and only transfer them to the human world when necessary.

But even so, in the nearly three thousand years of history in two eras, the light of miracles has appeared many times, and has been used even more times, but most of them were for trivial matters, such as the kind that only had one village. A plague that wipes out a town has no value in historical records. Just like the Milt brothers and sisters used it to cure rinderpest, not to mention that no one knew about it, even if most people did know it, they would probably not bother to record it in history. After all, it is a bit embarrassing to use advent-level rare items to do this.

The six usage records that were finally left behind were all accompanied by a worldwide occult plague. Like the fourth one, in 1511 of the Fourth Age, it was a horrific disaster known as the Black Death in history, which directly started the end of the Fourth Age. Catastrophe.

Only a plague of this magnitude and linked to the light of miracles is worthy of being included in the precious library of the Church of Tribulation. Because this is directly related to the suffering church. Wherever there is a plague, there will be suffering believers.

Only the second record was too early, and the coverage of the Church of Tribulation was limited. The area where the plague broke out was beyond Fiona's sphere of influence. The use of Miracle Light was led by people outside the Church of Tribulation, and it was that This time, many problems of Miracle Light were exposed.

The holder of that time performed countless human sacrifices and burned thousands of people to death. However, the plague was still not under control, causing the disease to spread to the entire world. In the end, someone discovered a cure and the entire world recovered from the plague. Before that, the country that sacrificed human beings to the light of miracles had long been destroyed, with very few survivors. The world that had just recovered from the catastrophe at the end of the era for several hundred years was hit hard again, with a death toll as high as Millions.

"So, the successful cases are all related to the Church of Tribulation. Can this be considered a necessary condition? Also, why are there no specific methods of rituals mentioned in any records? Ms. Bibliography, can you find the reason?"

Lynch couldn't help but join in the inquiry, but there was no response from the other side of the wall. It was Ms. Nightingale who stopped him.

"Your question is wrong. As a bibliographer, you are not allowed to make your own judgments and analyses, let alone make choices."

As he said this, he asked the wall:

"Does any information in these six records mention the specific method of the ceremony?"

"No."

"Is there any information available that explains this phenomenon?"

"No."

Lynch understood. It seemed that this was similar to database retrieval. It had to be filtered by keywords or key conditions and could not answer questions involving subjective judgments.

But it doesn’t matter, the search engine is ready, it’s just that people of your generation don’t know how to use it. But this doesn’t bother me, who comes from another world. In our time, if we didn’t know how to make good use of search engines, we would have to be a sad person.

Touching the pipe, Lynch didn't have the nerve to light it, and walked around the small room with it in his mouth. Diana and Natalie knew his abilities too well, and looked at him with eyes full of expectation.

"Every one of the records avoids detailed methods. It's most likely intentional. But it doesn't matter. As long as something really happened, it will definitely leave traces. The Internet... No, history has memory. Think about it. It's not that easy to hide. Ms. Bibliography, now put aside the keywords about the light of miracles and the limitations of the book itself, put together all the information you have, and then use multiple conditions to select from all the known information. Compound screening, okay.”

"I haven't tried it, but..." The voice inside was obviously uncertain, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "It should be... okay."

"Huh?"

Even Nightingale was surprised at this time. No one had ever used such an alternative method in thousands of years. They had always checked them one by one like reading a book. They had never thought of reading all the books like this. The content is cut into fragmented information and then retrieved one by one.

Is it really possible?

Lynch didn't know Ms. Nightingale's surprise. He paced in place and said to himself:

"Regardless of the limitations of the Miracle Light, we first need to know what exactly happened during that time. As long as we know the specific events that occurred, we may be able to deduce what caused the Miracle Light to take effect. So the first search condition is Time, based on the time of the five successful plagues... No, use the exact year when the light of miracle appeared in those five records as the first query condition, okay, Ms. Bibliography."

"Can."

"Then use the occult plague... Well, forget it, just use the plague as the second condition, and then use the words Lord of Suffering, Church of Suffering, and Sister of Suffering as the third query condition. How much content can be found?"

"There are about a thousand types of mysterious documents involved, and there are more than 7,000 pieces of information you requested. Do you want to check them one by one?"

"Then I'm too busy, so I don't want it." Lin Qi muttered while holding a pipe in his mouth. "Then there's the location. I remember that the first time Miracle Light was used was at the explosion site, and the second time too. I didn't mention it the next few times. , but it did not emphasize that the place of use was not an outbreak place..."

"The fourth time was the same," Ms. Nightingale said. "I have an impression of this, and it was also used explosively."

"Very good. We can tentatively use it in outbreak areas. Then use each outbreak area to make the fourth query condition and further filter out the previous information."

"One hundred and twenty types of mysterious documents remain, involving 1,600 pieces of information."

Is it really possible? The three women were all nervous for a while. They had realized that this method might be really effective and could find the key information as quickly as possible from the vast amount of information in the library's mind. If we can find out more critical conditions, maybe it can be done...

No one dared to say anything for fear of interrupting Lin Qi's train of thought. Everyone watched helplessly as this guy held a pipe in his mouth and looked calm, speaking slowly:

"There is another problem with the seven messages just now. The message read from the memories of strange objects only mentioned offering good things. It didn't say what good things were, nor how to give them. But the only one that did not involve the suffering sisters was The record clearly states that that country burned thousands of people to death in order to make sacrifices. Why did they use fire and insist on doing so? Is burning people the only way to make sacrifices?

Lynch was asking the three ladies around him, and all three of them shook their heads in denial. In fact, burning was not a common method of offering sacrifices. Such violent methods were generally used to purify unclean things.

"There must be deep-seated reasons why things are abnormal. The only explanation I can think of is to refer to the first example. There was a gap of more than three hundred years between the first two times. Although it is very long, some legends will not be annihilated or disappear. shape, so the first successful activation of the strange object probably involved flames or even self-immolation. Then the fifth key condition appears, fire.”

"There are eighteen types of mysterious documents involved and one hundred and sixteen pieces of information involved. Do you want to check them one by one?"

More than a hundred items are already within the acceptable range! The three women almost blurted out the word "want".

How did this kid think of it? The old woman stared at Lin Qi in a daze. She was a genius. Could it be that she had really received divine enlightenment?

However, Lynch did not directly inquire. Instead, he smiled with a confident smile because he remembered a word that appeared repeatedly in the deep reading memory.

"The sixth keyword is purification."

"It involves three mysterious documents and nine pieces of information. Do you want to check them one by one?"

"want."

Hearing this "yes", the three ladies took a deep breath subconsciously, and then they felt tired, as if they had just fought with someone.
