Chapter 52 The Meaning of Prayer

On September 1212, 9, nearly four months had passed since the start of the defense of the Red City. The situation of the battle would develop to this point, which was unexpected for both the pirates and the Red City.

The main reason why the Red City is able to persist is because the pirates lost a large number of spaceships in the previous two wars. At present, there are only nine medium-sized warships that can surround the Red City. Whether it is supplies or Ammunition can no longer keep up with the supply.For pirates who rely on looting to obtain supplies, a protracted war is almost unthinkable, but under the current circumstances, it is even more impossible for them to evacuate Hongdu and return empty-handed.

The only thing I can do is to keep going, praying that the shield of Hongdu will collapse for the second time, and hoping that I can get enough money on that planet.

Almost every pirate thinks so.In order to save food, the food for half of them has been reduced to one meal a day.Nevertheless, they must also serve as the main force in the final battle.

For the pirates, the only fortunate thing is that during the four-month siege, the Red City side did not receive any reinforcements.This is simply the pinnacle of luck!Even if the surrounding area is controlled, the communication is blocked, and the space folding is blocked, it can really be called a miracle without arousing the suspicion of any outsiders for such a long time.

In this way, while the pirates were praying to break through the Red Capital earlier, all the personnel on the Red Capital side were praying for reinforcements to come soon.Interestingly, many of them pray for the same object, which is the legendary incarnation of the Holy Light sect located at the center of the universe.

Warren is on his daily rounds.Since the end of the last ground war, he has understood a truth. What he shoulders is not only his personal property, but lives that cannot be brought back to life. 9162 people, the current total population of Hongdu, nearly half of them are from Clarke.He must do his best to protect the lives of these people, and he must let everyone see that he will never give up on any of them!

"Where else do we need to go?" Only when he got into the airship, Warren would briefly show a tired expression. At any other time, he was full of energy and confidence, just like before the war started.

"You can go back to the control tower. Warren, your body temperature is a bit high, you need to get a good sleep." Lan said worriedly.

"There's no time to sleep." Warren's voice was a little hoarse from talking too much, "Just give me an injection if you think it's necessary!"

"Relying on injections for a long time to concentrate can make you dependent on injections."

Warren ignored the robot's advice. "Dependence or something, let's talk about it after the war is over..." he muttered.

After seeing Warren close his eyes, Lan immediately launched the airship. He hoped that Warren could take a short rest in the next ten minutes.But Warren's eyes snapped open!

"Ulysses!"

Big drops of sweat soaked Warren's forehead, his eyes staring blankly ahead, a look of shock and bewilderment on his face.

Lan was taken aback: "Did you have a nightmare? Warren! Warren, wake up!"

The robot immediately noticed something was wrong.Their airship stopped in mid-air without warning!

This violates all laws of mechanics!

That was the first thought that crossed the robot's master mind.They were just starting to accelerate their flight. If they slowed down suddenly, the anti-stun system in the airship would be activated immediately, and they would notice the abnormality no matter what.It was so strange to be so suddenly still.So far, I have never heard of any speed reduction device that can make an airship hover in the air!

click.

Warren suddenly pushed open the door of the airship and stepped out with one foot.Lan was terrified. Outside the airship was the high-altitude cold air. If a natural person fell without any auxiliary facilities, he would definitely be smashed to pieces!What made the robot even more desperate was that his power system seemed to be malfunctioning. Although the main brain was still functioning, he couldn't even lift a single finger, let alone pull Warren back.He could only watch as Warren stepped out of the airship and began to walk high in the air.Then, his main brain suddenly stopped computing.He crashed.

Warren sees the world very differently from Blue Eyes.A second ago, he was sitting in the airship and taking a nap with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was sitting on a cloud surrounded by the blue sky, and the person sitting opposite him was the once Ulysses, the Archbishop of the Holy Light Sect who had a relationship with him once!

"Ulysses!"

After Warren called out the name, the scene around him changed again.He returned to the archbishop's ship, and sat face to face with Ulysses on the window sill covered with blue tiles, even the movements and postures were exactly the same as the last time they met!

"Am I dreaming?" Warren murmured.

But in the dream he was still an adult, not just a tall boy like five years ago.

"Spiritual synchronization. I have been trying to get in touch with you for several days, and this time I finally succeeded." Ulysses still looked gentle and wise in a white robe, and he handed Warren a cup of tea, "Piracy fruit tea, I think You'll love it. I know you've got a lot of questions for me, but mind-syncing can hurt your spirits, so I'll make a long story short."

Warren nodded understandingly.He took a sip of the tea in the cup and felt a long-lost relaxation.Ulysses seems to have some kind of magical power, which can make people feel calm all at once.Warren found that the other person's appearance seemed more attractive than five years ago.It is a kind of love for the beauty of nature that all intelligent creatures will sprout, and it also contains many emotions such as reverence, appreciation and gratitude.

"First of all, I want to explain to you the function of prayer, which is very important." Ulysses stared at Warren with purple vertical pupils, "Maybe you think that God does not listen to the prayers of believers, this is just a kind of spirit Comfort. But I have to tell you that we are listening, I mean me and the other twelve archbishops, only we are listening, because only our spiritual power can receive and process the prayers from the nearly infinite number of believers .”

"But we don't respond to everything, in fact, we only act when the balance of the universe may be disrupted. No, we don't deal with everything big, as you might think. Sometimes it is to find a way to feed a dying bird, sometimes it is to prevent two people from meeting, sometimes it is to change the trajectory of a planet, these things are equally important to us, and we have our own judgment I can't tell you the specific basis."

"So you're here because something happened around me that might upset the balance of the universe? Who did you hear pray for?" Warren asked.

"Yes, what you said is absolutely correct. I heard a man named Charlie Bergmann praying a few days ago."

"Ah!" Warren couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Although prayers are transmitted faster than the speed of light, sometimes a long time has passed since the message was sent when we hear it." Ulysses continued to explain, "So we always emphasize that believers Pray repeatedly and pray piously, because only in this way can the content of the prayer be clearer and spread faster. And after comparing the messages sent before and after, we can also judge the specific development process of an event. In other words , If a believer’s prayer content is very unstable, or the prayer time is very short, we will probably block it directly after receiving the message.”

Warren nodded. It was the first time he realized that the prayers of the Holy Light Sect had such a meaning.

"The reason why I explain this to you is that I once met this earthling named Charlie Bergman, and I remembered his spiritual frequency, so his prayers were naturally received by me. Of course, between There was some time lag. What I got was some distress calls sent out in extreme desperation. No, no, no, don't worry, he's not dead, he's just lost in the universe, and what hurts him more than being lost is that his Being lost can cause your isolation and even death. It is this pain that makes his prayers extra 'loud', otherwise I may not be able to receive it in such a short time. After you rescued me, I can tell Give him his coordinates and help you find him back."

"Charlie..." After learning about Charlie's situation, Warren couldn't help being a little moved.If the voice of prayer did not reach Ulysses' ears, most of his staff officers would drift forever in the universe. At this moment, what Charlie was thinking of was the safety of the Red Capital. How could people not be moved?

"Just as you speculated, your death will destroy the balance of the universe, so I decided to help you out of the predicament. My ship is already heading in your direction, because the distance is very far, even I still need three days I have notified the government of the nearby Earth people, but they should not be able to arrive sooner than me. Warren, please don’t worry, I will be by your side soon.”

Ulysses smiled, and tapped Warren's forehead with a finger with purple nails.

"You should go back, if you feel a headache, go to sleep!"

"!!!"

When Warren opened his eyes again, he saw Odin's slightly distorted face.

"Damn it, you finally woke up!" The half-person scolded and showed joy, "I tell you, Lan definitely needs to be repaired! When he brought you back just now, he said that you walked into the air for a while, and said that you Suddenly passed out on the airship, I have never seen such an illogical robot!"

"Blue..." Warren turned his head. He felt the pain in the back of his head like a needle prick. This is probably the sequelae of the mental synchronization that Ulysses said.He found the figure of the robot at the end of the bed. Lan's expression was very confused. Some wanted to go forward, but he didn't dare to approach it as if he was afraid of something.

"Warren, I think I really need to do a full overhaul of my programming. There has never been a known case of a robot hallucinating, and I'm concerned that my programming has a logic error, so for the time being..."

"No, it's none of your business, Ulysses did it." Warren interrupted the robot, and he smiled, "We're about to have reinforcements!"

"Ulysses? Who is that? Wait! You mean the Archbishop of the Holy Light Sect?" Odin's face was full of doubts, "You can't be too tired to hallucinate, right? You fainted for a while and did one Weird dream?"

"No, Ulysses' ship will arrive in three days, he told me himself."

"..." Now even Lan had an unbelievable look on his face.

Warren frowned, suddenly feeling something in his palm.

"what?"

In the center of Warren's outstretched palm was a purple hexagonal crystal, with a small piece of non-metal and non-stone attached to it.

"Ulysses' earring?" Warren recognized the item almost immediately.This small piece of purple crystal was emitting a soft radiance, which seemed to contain some kind of strange power, which instantly calmed down the mood of everyone present.

"..." Odin opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

There was no way Warren was carrying something like this on purpose.

"This is indeed exactly the same as the earrings of His Majesty the Archbishop." Lan compared Ulysses' earrings in memory with the crystals currently in Warren's palm.

"Well, this is really great news." Odin's expression was a little stiff. Such strange news about the reinforcements seemed unbelievable to him. The archbishop of the sect had contacted him, and he probably thought that Warren and Lan had a collective hallucination.

"Warren, although it is very likely that we will be out of trouble in three days, I still have a bad news to inform you." Odin cleared his throat and explained why he came to see Warren today. Speak up.
