"...the first sage created the runes. He led his people to the most suitable ocean climate and laid down the city's first runes on an island reef. Under its influence, all nearby reefs It was connected into six main axes. The Atlantis people farmed, fished and hunted on the six main axes. From this time on, there was Atlantis.

"The second sage transformed the rune, turned the earth into bluestone, made the waves timid, and stopped the storm. In the strong city wall, it is like spring all the year round, and everyone praises the name of Atlantis.

"In early summer, when the fourth batch of newborns were born, the third sage retrieved the energy stone Rhea from the extreme north. Rhea's brilliance blessed Atlantis, allowing everyone to use runes At this time, the young fourth sage stood up and led people to use runes to build houses, vehicles and streets. He dedicated his life to the cause of invention.

"Before the death of the fourth sage, the ships of Atlantis possessed the ability to dive deep and fly high.

"The fifth sage is a master of land-building in the sea. He was approved by the king and entered the Rhea Hall. Under the manipulation of the runes, the first ring-shaped land rose from the seabed, doubling the size of the city From then on, Atlantis began the process of continuous expansion, and finally reached its current scale.”【3】

"The royal family of Atlantis is the descendant of the first sage, and the second sage is also an offshoot of the royal family. They have dominated the ethnic group since the Atlantis period. After entering Atlantis, Dozens of generations have been diligent and intelligent emperors, and they have made indelible contributions to the prosperity of Atlantis. In fact, until now, when the empire is about to be destroyed, we cannot say that it is the stupidity of a certain emperor Incompetence has brought us to where we are today...

"...the third generation king was the most approachable king. He personally went to the fields to plow and harvest the ears of wheat and fruits. He could talk to the poorest people like friends...The third generation king established the citizenship system and welfare system , His benevolence has pushed the royal family's reputation to a new peak..."

"...After the seventh generation king succeeded to the throne, Atlantis was opened. Since then, merchant ships from Atlantis have traveled between the left and right continents, bringing rich products and diverse cultures from all over the place. The red-skinned mainlanders on the left and the white-skinned and black-skinned mainlanders on the right speak different languages. In order to communicate with different ethnic groups, the Rhea priests invented the spiritual runes... In the late seven generations of kings, they began to allow Some outsiders settled in Atlantis, and they would live in outer cities and farms at the earliest, and they would be recognized by Rhea as real Atlanteans after working for ten years."

"From the first day when the energy stone Rhea entered Atlantis, the priest of Rhea was born. The earliest priest was appointed by the royal family and was the guardian of Rhea who obeyed the king's orders. This is also the fifth sage. The reason for being able to enter Rhea Hall."

"...the priests before the Rhea Revolution were not recognized by public opinion. Scholars and even the vast majority of citizens believed that they were just lackeys of the royal family. The first priest recognized by the current temple is Gelu.

"Priest Ge Lu was born in the outer city. She was the daughter of a letter engraver. She followed her father to carve rune seals for the houses and carriages of nearby residents since she was a child, and accumulated a wealth of rune knowledge. When she was 12 years old, she Independently built a spaceship. The reputation of Ge Lu's genius spread to the ears of the royal family, and the queen at the time granted her permission to study in the royal library. She stayed in the inner city as an adult and became a scholar.

"In No. 13, when the Five Kings succeeded to the throne, the undersea earthquake destroyed the base of the energy Shiruiya, and the rune array left by the third sage was destroyed, and the whole city was in danger of sinking. When everyone panicked, When he was at a loss, Ge Lu stepped forward and drew 3 runes in 3000 minutes, finally awakening the sleeping will in Rhea and resolving the crisis.

"It is rumored that Ge Lu paid a heavy price to save Atlantis from the earthquake. She aged 30 years in an instant, and died in less than ten years. Her last days were spent in Switzerland. She spent time in the Yada Palace, and the kings of the Five Dynasties built a beautiful garden for her to cultivate, and called 20 smart girls who also came from outer cities to take care of her life. This event planted the seeds for the Rhea Revolution.”

"... Priestess Pan Nie and Priest Mag are one of the 20 girls who were specially called into the temple. They are the disciples of Priest Ge Lu. After Ge Lu died, they were sent back to the civilian area. Girls with knowledge of runes are no longer ignorant and ignorant inferiors. They are not willing to be mediocre all their lives, marrying and having children step by step. A raging fire broke out. The Rhea Revolution, which lasted for more than 50 years and spanned two generations, began.

"...Margo is a radical fighter. Throughout the history of Atlantis, there is no second person who has mastered a powerful fighting ability like Margo, even her teacher Ge Lu and later None of the rune warriors can compare with Mag's force. Later, Marco, the god of war worshiped by many small sects, was based on Mag's prototype..."

"Priest Pannie is honored as the first teacher. This is the first time that the concept of 'teacher' has appeared in the history of Atlantis. Pannie recruited apprentices in the civilian areas and taught how to pass the rune and Rhea in the city. Direct communication. Her influence was great, and the number of people attending her lectures reached tens of thousands during her heyday. Even the nobles in the inner city went there admiringly. Panie was imprisoned many times for "spreading the secrets of Brea", but she was in prison Insisting on teaching, even prison guards and prisoners have become Protestant believers..."

"Thanks to the efforts of the second generation of priests, citizens have made a qualitative leap in their mastery of runes. The brilliance of Rhea directly acts on individuals, causing the royal family's theocracy to collapse. Pannie and Ma Ge's disciples led tens of thousands of people from the outer city to the main gate of the palace. At that time, the sixth king who had just succeeded to the throne announced that he would give up control of the Temple of Rhea. Since then, the selection of the priests of Rhea was determined by Rhea Straightforward selection. The Rhian Revolution has thus ended in the victory of the common people." [5]

"How to get Rhea's recognition is a mysterious and mysterious concept. Many priests themselves can't tell how they were selected. The priest Youcan was shrouded in white light as soon as he was born; and the priest Chang Gong until his hair was gray and old. Yicai was summoned by the temple; Priest Mo was even a foreigner when she was chosen—her family hadn’t lived in Atlantis for 10 years.

"The experience of dozens of generations tells us that Rhea favors women, especially those who are talented in rune research. Apart from these two points, Rhea priests are usually kind and selfless, but there are exceptions, such as the formal establishment of single priests. Flynn in the system is considered to be the most power-hungry woman in the history of the temple. What is amazing is that Rhea recognized Flynn’s single-priest system. Starting from Flynn, only when the previous priest resigned, Rhea A new priest will be selected, and there will be only one priest in each generation."

"...The awakening movement [6] initiated by scholars did not shake the people's blind obedience to the temple until the priest Arote entered the temple. Arota was born in an intellectual family with Greek ancestry. Her father and uncles A supporter of the Awakening Movement. Arote was influenced by atheism before she officially entered school. Even after she was shrouded in the white light of Rhea and lived in the temple for many years, she did not change her belief. .

"'I have been an atheist all my life. Since Rhea chose me, it means that it is tacit that I spread atheism to the people.'

"Arote believes that Rhea is a powerful energy stone with will. Although its power permeates all aspects of Atlantis, it is not a god itself, nor was it created by God. And the temple priests and temple attendants, It's just a job, they are no different from ordinary people.

"During the Arota period, the temple greatly reduced the already huge attendant team at that time, and more than 90% of the temple was donated to education and medical care. The privileges of the clergy were exhausted, and once they violated the law, they were the same as the common people.

"Some people think that Arota destroyed the sanctity of the Temple of Rhea, but in fact, it was she who saved the temple from the edge of extravagance and degeneration, and returned to the path of integrity, purity and unity with the common people. Therefore, Arota reformed , also known as the second Rhea revolution. The Arote reform had an extremely powerful stimulating effect on the culture at that time, and the rune worship began to rise. Countless ordinary people devoted themselves to the cause of rune research, and inventions and creations emerged one after another.

"The Skypivot was built during this period. Its designers were five underage boys. In order for the Skypivot to control the air passages of the entire Atlantis, they needed the rune information on the Rhea pedestal. Arota approved the application of the teenagers to enter the temple, and personally participated in the refining of the Kongshu metal."

【1】Excerpt Note: In fact, this book is the work of Mrs. Wendy Riddle when she was a girl. She was still called Wendy Carter at that time, and it was completed around 1943.Due to political factors, this book, which answers the ten thousand year old secret of Atlantis, was not published until the 20s.Mrs. Wendy Riddle, a well-known contemporary wizard, scholar, rune researcher, master alchemy, one of the leading figures in the secularization of magic, and a core member of the "Tree of Wisdom".

[2] Note from Mrs. Riddle: The inner city black stone slab is a stone slab found in a black stone passage in the inner city ruins of Atlantis. There are six groups of 157 pieces in total, and the history of the rise and fall of Atlantis is recorded in detail.Today, when there are almost no historical materials, the black stone tablet in the inner city is the most authoritative explanation of the history of Atlantis.

[3] Note from Mrs. Riddle: None of the first five sages have their names recorded, and they are all directly referred to by numbers.Either their names are numbers themselves, or the numbers are a kind of honorific.In the civilization of Atlantis, numbers are widely worshiped, second only to the rune itself.

[4] Note from Mrs. Riddle: The group of black stone slabs mainly records the history of the sages and the history of the city.The second group of black stone slabs mainly records the religious changes of Atlantis.

[5] Mrs. Riddle's note: Atlantis was a theocratic regime in the early days. The royal family not only mastered the secular rights but also was worshiped as a demigod. Even the sages had to bow their heads to the royal family.The Rhea Revolution marked the completion of the separation of theocracy in Atlantis, and the Rhea Temple gradually evolved into an independent and mature mainstream religion.Referring to the characteristics of Atlantis as a country based on rune, and the fact that Rhea is the core energy source of the whole city, the Rhea revolution is also of great significance for decentralizing power and promoting democracy.

[6] Note from Mrs. Riddle: There is no specific description of the Awakening Movement on the blackstone board in the inner city, but judging from the context of multiple references to the "Awakening Movement", the main purpose of the Awakening Movement is roughly: Encourage rune research and comprehensive popularization Education, more democratic political demands, etc.Speculation only.
