Solomon Season 1 Ends
In the Middle Ages in the West, family honor was everything. Everything else had to give way to family honor so that the family could embark on the road to revival.
In fact, this is a well-known and tacit scam, where the ancestors deceived the younger generation in order to enhance the status of their own family.
Even if your family used to be farmers who joined the army, and your generation is already the pinnacle of the family, you insist on telling the younger generation that our family was once a famous big family, but fell into decline for some reason, and you have to work harder to restore its former glory.
Such talk deceived the young people who grew up in the family, and it was always accurate. As time went on, the ancestors who first started to deceive people died without any evidence, and now everyone was talking about restoring the family's glory.
Wu Ci doesn't believe these nonsense.
[You rejected Baron Foster's request]
[Because of the passive effect of your talent [preaching], Baron Foster is not angry, but tells you: the annual confession party is about to begin, and every noble must participate and buy indulgences issued by the Holy Church. The more you buy, the more sins you can forgive.]
[He tells you to prepare a large amount of money in advance and memorize the "Templar Canon", because if you do not buy indulgences or remember the doctrine at the party, you will be stripped of your title and be judged as a heretic by the Knights Templar. You will be burned to death with the witches in the entertainment program of the confession party, and you will go to hell after death.]
You decide:
A. Prepare financial resources
B. Reciting the Scriptures
C. Ask for details
D.Refuse to participate
E.Additional Souls
F. Personal Coming
Interesting... This temple is really overbearing, forcing people to recite their holy scriptures and doctrines, and taking the opportunity to donate money, calling it "indulgence". If you don't compromise, you will be regarded as a heretic and burned to death together with the witches?
And there is such a thing as "witches"... If it were in the Middle Ages when there was no mysterious power, it would probably be just nonsense, but now here... it makes people doubt whether they are real witches with magic.
Based on the behavior of the Templar Church towards witches, the witch forces are hostile to the mainstream Templar forces in this world, and it is clear that this should be used to their advantage.
[You chose option C: Ask for details]
Wu Ci made a choice and probed his consciousness into the ongoing time node.
The scene now is a dim interior, probably the castle where he simulates his identity as a viscount's fiefdom.
Due to the limitations of the times, the castle's construction craftsmanship is not as beautiful as its name suggests.
The "castle" he was in was made entirely of stone. The environment was harsh, cold in winter and hot in summer. There was snow and wind outside, and the north wind howled and blew fiercely through the cracks in the stone walls. Even if there were tapestries hanging on the walls, they could not completely block the wind.
There was a fire burning in the fireplace, which provided a faint light, allowing him to see his simulated identity and Baron Forster sitting opposite him.
Baron Forster, wearing a gray wig, had his face covered in pale lead powder and his sunken cheeks were heavily rosified.
His wig was thick and curly, falling to his shoulders, and like all medieval stereotypes of aristocrats, he was dressed in an exaggerated costume that could immediately make its grand entrance as a comic role in a stage play. The folded white collar around his neck, like an Elizabethan collar for a newly sterilized pet, made his short, thick neck even more obscure.
This made Wu Ci, whose thoughts had already begun to lean towards Tianzun, wonder what kind of beauty the mother of the simulated identity was that could correct such poor genes, and what kind of person was so stupid as to become the mistress of such an ugly thing.
Baron Foster seemed to have pneumonia, which was so popular among the nobles that it was fashionable and worthy of the envy of all the upper class. He weakly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed up blood twice to cover his blackened teeth. He then chanted in aristocratic tones, "Chips, everything is chips, my poor child who has not yet understood, I will play with your little alertness by mistake, and when you sit on the gambling table of fate, only His mercy can make you the winner, because His holy glory shines on this land, so you must convert, must believe in His righteousness, and let His eyes watch over you."
He might be a traditional nobleman who fits the characteristics of this era. He spoke as if he were singing a poem of praise, and Wu Ci was amused by the stage drama-like scene. As he laughed, he shuddered again when he thought of the "tradition" of the nobles of this era, and hurried to see his simulated identity.
Although her face was pale, she did not put on makeup like other nobles to pursue a pale complexion.
His facial features were all normal, without being poisoned by this ghost world. Although he coughed up blood from time to time, that was the effect of the [sickness] characteristic of a heroic spirit. He was not like other nobles who gave themselves pneumonia for the sake of morbid aesthetics.
Of course, because he cared about his image and reputation, the hair he used for his simulated identity was not lost due to promiscuity and drug use like those of the nobles. It was in perfect condition and he did not need to wear a wig.
The most important thing is that although the simulated identity is not dressed very gorgeously, it is very decent, with no more than three colors on his body, no exaggerated lace, and no fancy stockings and high heels like Baron Forster.
Very good, as expected of him. Although he was a little eccentric during the simulation, he is definitely decent enough to be summoned as a heroic spirit.
"Would you tell me more about Lord Silver? I am anxious to hear his opinion."
The impersonator said this expectantly.
"Oh of course, my child, Lord Silver will guide every pawn that is willing to obey his holy words."
Baron Folster replied, "He encourages us to atone our sins, grants us a noble status above ordinary people, teaches us how to drive slaves, how to dress to suit his taste, teaches us how men should conquer this land, how women should remain chaste, and orders us to burn to death those rebellious witches who want to change these systems or even want to build weird machines to leave this chessboard... We are all chess pieces on his sacred chessboard. We don't need to think, we just need to obey and be pushed in the right direction."
[Through Baron Foster's introduction, you infer that Sir Silver's authority is biased towards "ignorance"]
You promised you would attend confession.
[Lord Foster leaves]
[You read the scriptures he left behind and memorized them after reading them once]
[You participated in the confession and took the lead in the recitation activity. You were able to recite it fluently and add your own opinions. You successfully obtained the first opportunity to enter the confessional to confess your sins to the missionary and purchase enough indulgences according to the number of sins.]
【Your choice:
A. Confess the sins of the simulation period
B. Confess all your sins, including those in your past life.
C. "I am not guilty"
D.Additional Souls
E. The True Body Descends】
Wu Ci thought for a moment and chose A for safety reasons.
[You chose option A, confess your sins during the simulation period]
[You briefly explained the killings and desecration of corpses and property on the ancient battlefield, and confessed the sins you committed after joining the Crusades for fame, wealth and title.]
You bought an equal amount of indulgences.
[You left the confession party safely after watching the unremarkable witch burning ceremony]
[Soon after, King Bittre II heard that you had memorized the entire text of the Holy Scriptures and added the reputation of your insights and the heroic sin of your confession. He was amazed at your ability and sent you to meet the princess sent by the defeated country of Carnia in the Crusade as a hostage.]
[Because of your outstanding performance at the confession meeting and the king's recognition, you were attacked by the hired servants of the jealous. In order to hide your strength and protect the princess, you and the princess broke away from the escort team and fell into a ruin in the desert together.]
[You discovered the original witch's grave]
[The witch hates men and set up a place of trial. You, who are extremely evil, deceived the princess into entering the place of trial, used the princess to obtain the original witch's legacy, and then tricked the witch's legacy from the princess into your own hands.]
[You got the item [Mechanical Heart]]
[“Oh, you are such a bad guy!” The phantom Al left by the original witch in the [Mechanical Heart] appears in your mind.]
You said: "I want your strength."
[The witch said: "Don't be like this, dear. I can see that you are actually a good person in essence. You care about these poor girls and even favor them. You are not ignorant and do not respect the mainstream. I can give you power, but you must fight against the ignorance represented by Sir Silver. We only pursue the truth."]
[The original witch wants you to break through ignorance and spread the truth. She wants you to build a spaceship to allow a qualified witch to leave the ground, bring the spark of hope and wisdom to break out of this ignorant world, break out of this chessboard controlled by Lord Silver, and prove that the sky can be conquered by ordinary humans, rather than the so-called realm of God. ]
In the Middle Ages, which was strictly controlled by the church and had spiritual and magical powers, he did not play with metaphysics, but instead wanted to play with science and build a spaceship to fly into the universe? What kind of mad scientist is this? Is he crazy? No wonder he was burned to death...
Just as Wu Ci was about to probe into consciousness to understand the details carefully, the simulator popped up a new prompt.
【The price of all sins must be paid】
[The sins you confessed do not match the indulgence you purchased. The indulgence is not enough to offset your serious sins at this time.]
You lied in your confession
[Your communication with the original witch was even more audacious]
[You have attracted the attention of Sir Silver]
[You and the original witch's AI consciousness both died in the ruins]
[End of this simulation]
【Welcome back】
[The memory of this simulation is being integrated]
[Obtained Heroic Spirit (General Name): Crusader Viscount Folster]
Wu Ci was overwhelmed by the memory and fell to the ground, coughing up blood.
Silver Lord's control over the world is much stronger than that of Sugu... He was killed before he even had time to add his soul or his true body.
This caused Wu Ci to simulate his lowest ever Heroic Evaluation, which was just a [generic] rank. The suffix of the Heroic Name was not even the simulated identity's own name, but the family name of the simulated identity's father, Baron Forster.
No... Qianchao just ended, and he has simulated too many times in a short period of time. According to his physical condition, he can't continue simulating for the time being, otherwise he will definitely be killed by himself...
The black cat must be sent away first. His current condition is too bad. If he relaxes his mind for a moment, he might be forced into coma by his body. He is worried about having a cannibal around him.
Wu Ci got up, trying hard to keep his body steady, and opened the bedroom door, "Black Cat..."
The living room was empty, with only the mirrors on all four sides reflecting his figure.
The black cat left quietly at some point, and the door was repaired.
Wu Ci loosened his grip, slid down to sit on the ground against the mirror wall, and pinched his temples painfully, waiting for the suffocation and the throbbing pain in his heart and brain to leave his body.
Sir Silver's annihilation was understated, without any malice, like crushing a bug, but the damage information brought to the witch spirit by the annihilation from high latitude was extremely terrifying.
This wasn't just a casual glance from the Heavenly Lord that destroyed half the world; it was the annihilation of him as an individual across the void.
The brain overload seems to be an inescapable symptom. It has not eased after so long and has even become more severe over time.
His five senses were dulling due to the blockage of his brain. He had hallucinations and buzzing in his ears and could not see clearly. All he could see were colorful spots of light and bizarre fantasies.
In pain, he saw himself in the mirror, and the mirror reflected many "witch words", curled up in a corner in pain, with a pale face, as if sharing the pain with him.
In a trance, he saw a "witch" showing a different expression.
The corners of its mouth were raised strangely, revealing a clumsy, mocking smile.
Wu Ci stared blankly with his eyes wide open, and then realized that the smile seemed to be just an illusion.
Let’s sleep for a while, let’s sleep for a while… Sleep is the best way to repair the brain… He hasn’t had a good sleep for so long.
Wu Ci fled from the living room and locked the bedroom door.
He was too lazy to even look at his unqualified new Heroic Spirit and rudely wiped it out of existence.
His brain was in severe pain due to information overload and lack of sleep and sugar for too long, but this still did not erase his vigilance. Wu Ci held his aching heart and opened the closet in his room, took out everything inside and threw it on the bed to form a human shape, climbed into the closet, closed the door and curled up.
The narrow space gave him some sense of security, and thus he fell into a brief dark coma in the cold, hard, and narrow closet.
