Chapter 38 Nora

The only regret is that there is no information about supernatural powers among all the information, which is not surprising.

In addition to these images, he also gained a lot of common sense about the Temple of Silence, which piled up in the depths of his mind in a somewhat rigid manner, but he could recall it as long as he recalled it.

What is this? Knowledge infusion?

Hughes looked at the incense burner with interest.

This incense burner is a really great thing. After lighting the incense, people will see pictures.

I feel that knowledge has entered my mind in a strange way. I just don't know if I can use it for learning. When I light the incense burner, knowledge and images flow in naturally. It would be great if this strange ability could be used for teaching.

One of the obstacles to the development of science and technology is that the human body is too weak. In modern society, it takes decades for an ordinary person to learn the most cutting-edge knowledge from scratch and start scientific research.

PhD students graduate at the age of almost 30, and that's if everything goes well. How many years can a person live? The learning speed of the human brain has a limit. If there is a way to skip the tedious learning process, the efficiency of human scientific research will be greatly improved.

"The Temple of Silence." Hughes fell into deep thought.

Nora held the chain and the incense burner, nodded with satisfaction, swung the incense burner a few times, and put it lightly around her waist.

The corner of Zeus's eye twitched. Why did her movements feel so skillful, as if she often used this incense burner as a meteor hammer to hit people.

That shouldn't be the case. Hughes glanced at Nora. She had already put away the incense burner and was sitting obediently on the chair. Her long white hair was draped over her body, like a layer of quiet snow.

Just being around her gave me a sense of peace of mind. Could this be the effect of the Undertaker? Hughes closed his eyes and recalled the knowledge he had just acquired.

An undertaker is literally the clergyman who is responsible for burying dead bodies in the parish.

The attitudes of the House of Silence and the Candlelight Society towards the secular world are very different. The Candlelight Society actively preaches but does not get too involved in secular affairs, while the House of Silence is just the opposite. They do not have much interest in preaching, but the clergy have taken on many extra responsibilities on their own initiative.

For example, they presided over funerals, baptized newborns, and even organized people to stock up firewood in advance in winter and patrolled the village to drive away wild beasts.

It can be said that the people of the White Crow Principality have been dealing with the Holy Temple of Silence from birth to death.

Correspondingly, they do not require residents to believe in religion. If a snowstorm hits, people of any faith can go to the church to avoid the wind and snow.

They are like the thick stone walls of a church, silent, cold and hard, but they can protect people from wind and snow.

Xiu Si suddenly understood something. There was no need for the Silent Church to preach. As long as they moved forward against the wind and snow, believers would follow them.

Churches support settlements and villages. Settlements connected together form markets and towns. Thousands of cities in the north stand together like silent churches towering in the wind and snow.

It is like a Great Wall built on the mountains, blocking the wind and snow for the northern border of the empire day after day.

But now, the White Plague has come, the principality is gradually on the verge of collapse, and these taciturn people can only come here to make a living.

Nora sat in the chair motionless, as quiet as a statue covered with snow.

Sharp words are like sharp swords, while heavy silence is like towering mountains.

Xiu Si could not see any joy or sadness in her eyes. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to speak: "Miss Nora, do you know that there are alien races in this world - alien races other than humans."

Hughes asked directly. He had no intention of testing the waters - he didn't have the time.

Whether or not one can accept the existence of other races is the basis for continued communication and is the most critical point.

If Nora and the Silent Temple behind her cannot accept the existence of aliens, then Xius's territory will not accept their existence either.

The Banshees are too important to Zeus, he must save them, this is almost his only trump card. If he wants to have a chance of survival among the major forces, it is not enough to rely solely on the knowledge in his mind.

The church has extraordinary powers, but the pirates don't? Nora's white eyes turned and looked at Hughes. After a while, she nodded gently.

Hughes breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that ever since the incense burner had instilled knowledge in him, his five senses had become sharper, and he could interpret some of Nora's subtle body language more clearly.

For example, at this moment, he could feel what Nora meant: she knew about the aliens, but she didn't trust them.

Is this some kind of extraordinary power of the Silent Church? The fact that they can communicate simply without words is in line with the name of this church.

It was as if the two people were old friends for many years, and they had a tacit understanding with just one glance.

Nora jumped down from the chair, looked up at Hughes with a slightly serious expression, waiting for his explanation.

"Please rest assured, I have indeed come into contact with some alien races. They are very friendly. Although they look different from humans, their concepts are similar and we can get along well with them."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, Zeus was also very fortunate that the banshees he met had values ​​similar to those of humans. Even years of slavery and torture did not drive them crazy or paranoid.

Nora nodded.

"But they have been in trouble recently. It seems that there is some kind of pollution, pollution from the seabed, which has injured some of their members."

Hughes spoke slowly while keeping a close eye on Nora's reaction.

Nora's eyes widened instantly when she heard the word "pollution". She took a step forward, looked Xius up and down, and then decisively took out the incense burner.

"It's okay. I have not been implicated and have not been exposed to contamination." Xius explained.

Nora raised her hand, signaling Hughes not to speak, then took out a piece of ointment from her waist pocket, rubbed it evenly on both hands, and then rubbed it on the incense burner.

This time she pressed a buckle on the incense burner, and the incense burner popped open with a snap. Nora took out a part from it, then took out another one from her pocket and replaced it.

She gently twisted the incense burner, and this time much thicker smoke floated out of it, quickly surrounding the two of them.

Xius swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and still did not move. Instead, he tried to relax his body and took a deep breath of smoke.

The worry and concern in the girl's eyes just now did not seem fake, and when he saw her white pupils, Xiusi felt inexplicably relieved.

Shaking his head, Zeus quietly invoked the symbiotic contract and began to use the senses granted to him by the Banshee. He had a vague feeling that these senses were less likely to be deceived than his own human senses.

Although the possibility of Nora doing this was small, he decided to be careful.
