Chapter 890 Original Sin Hidden under the Wisdom Clock
Qian Chen and Quinn came to an abandoned bell tower in Kafas.
It is very close to the University of Miscato and was once an annex of the Palace of Mystical Reflections.
The dial of the clock is set in an iron frame with a diameter of 18 feet. The time is represented by the Sun Empire numerals inlaid with twelve star sapphires and more than 180 tiger eye stones. Large pieces of colored glass are spliced ​​into the clock face.
Behind these stained glass surfaces, there is also a huge whale oil lamp that illuminates the entire dial!
The periphery of the dial is decorated with gold plating.
The whole is installed on this bell tower about 78 meters high.
Quinn stared at the towering bell tower and clucked his tongue: "The original sin sect's stronghold you mentioned is not here, right? Are you crazy? This is the Wisdom Clock!"
"The famous landmark of Miskato University, the building that represents the wisdom inheritance of Miskato University..."
Gable added calmly: "It is also the largest society of wizards and researchers in the Esoteric Cult, and the headquarters of the Omniscient Tower!"
At this time, even Elijah grabbed his brother's clothes uneasily. If the original sin sect's stronghold was really established here, it can only be said that this is indeed crazy enough, and it is enough to prove the power of the original sin sect in the past.
"In fact, the two largest sources of members of the Original Sin Sect are the Spiritual Society and the Tower of Omniscience."
Gable stared at this great building and sighed: "In the middle of the Fourth Age, half of the members of the Spiritual Society secretly joined the Original Sin Sect, and in the Omniscient Tower, this proportion is as high as 80%."
"So why not build it here?" he asked.
"At that time, the Omniscient Tower was the Original Sin Sect, and the Original Sin Sect was the Omniscient Tower. And at that time, we were confident and tolerant enough to even allow other researchers to retain their own paths, sects, and identities and join the Omniscient Tower."
"What about now?" Qian Chen asked calmly.
Gable was a little frustrated: "Now the Omniscient Tower is definitely the secret group that wants to kill us the most! After all, we screwed it up so badly in the war thirty years ago! Now the Omniscient Tower has almost become a wizard's path.
Private property. They delve into invisible arts and secret knowledge, and the masters who once wanted to explore the mysterious origin are long gone!"
Qian Chen nodded: "Give them the Book of Orange Lantern! Develop them into our people again..."
Gable nodded slightly, the wizard path is definitely no match for the orange light path.
After obtaining the mage path of the Book of Orange Lantern, the Tower of Omniscience will definitely usher in a wave of great divisions.
"What is the method to open the remaining stronghold of the Original Sin Sect?"
Kun En looked at the bell tower in front of him and asked with some curiosity: "Underground palace? Secret room? Or... Now that the bell tower is deserted, no more students will enter. If the Omniscient Tower is still entrenched inside, it will not be easy for us to infiltrate!"
Gable stared at the huge dial.
Quinn also looked up with interest: "This mechanical clock is said to have been made by Miscato University and cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to order from the Royal Society of Mechanics!"
The boys in the New World all lamented: "The top floor of the entire clock tower is made of extremely complex gears and springs, a clock mechanism built according to the planetary gear system! It is said that the core nine-layer gear is built according to the most advanced celestial planetary gear system at that time.
, completely simulates the operation of the solar system!”
"Thirty years ago, due to an accidental fire, the mechanical clock broke. Even the Royal Institute of Mechanics itself was unable to repair it, which led to the closure and abandonment of the clock tower."
"The school directors have discussed whether to replace the planetary gear and equalizer system with the simplest but most advanced escapement and gyroscope system today."
"But it ended due to fierce opposition from conservative school directors..."
Quinn said with emotion: "Miscator University is like this. While it is radical and innovative in academics, it is also extremely old and conservative in its ethos and traditions..."
At this time, Quinn suddenly noticed that Gable was glaring at him fiercely.
He sneered, looked at the sluggish pointer on the top of the bell tower and said, "Old-fashioned? Too many people have forgotten the tradition, let alone the greatness of the tradition!"
"Of course the Royal Institute of Mechanics cannot repair this miraculous clock! They are just a group of craftsmen who built the mechanism and gear system! The planetary gear and equalizer system are not just complex machines used to calculate time, but
It’s a set of astronomical secrets pointing to Si Chen and the solar system!” Gable said excitedly.
"This set of cutting-edge clock tower mysteries can be called the culmination of classical astronomy, astrology and emerging mechanical schools of the Fourth Age. It can point to time extremely accurately and guide the spirituality of the twelve celestial beings."
"See those ancient Sun Empire numbers set in gems?"
"Each one will inject the most original spirituality in the spiritual world into it as the pointer rotates. It can accumulate a little spirituality in an hour...and it comes directly from the great Si Chen's spirituality."
"The highest and most original spirituality!"
"In order to avoid direct interference from Si Chen's spirituality, we divide the twelve hours of a day into twenty-four hours, so that each gem will be affected by at least two Si Chens. The spiritual interference in this way avoids looking directly at the greatness.
An act of existence…”
"Thirty years ago, the Wisdom Clock was Miskato's most powerful secret weapon."
"The secret ritual called 'time' flows endlessly. We can even turn the clock and reverse time!"
"And this set of powerful secret weapons, in addition to the wisdom clock composed of planetary gears and balancers, directly controls the power of Si Chen."
"Also includes--"
"Burned with Leviathan whale oil, blessed by the Pope of the Holy Church, the guidance lamp was made from fragments of the sacred lamp of that year;"
"The Miskato School of Architecture and the Wizard Path of Miskato created the Wizard Tower - the Tower of Omniscience;"
"There is also the reflection of the tower that our Original Sin Sect built in the spiritual world and the abyss - the shadow in the mirror!"
"So, how does the Royal Institute of Mechanics repair this secret instrument?"
"They can't even repair the wisdom clock. They are just a group of craftsmen. Without the design and layout of the occult society of the University of Michigan, the secret ritual, the planetary gear system, the balance instrument and the eternal movement, they will not be able to build it in another era."
"In fact, if the three hands of hours, minutes and seconds had not been preserved, most of the dial with countless runes and secret rituals inscribed on it would also have been preserved. Miscato has been asking various associations to repair it for twenty years after the war.
I just managed to repair the appearance of the smart clock."
"But the eternal movement that was completely destroyed in the war, the balance instrument that was taken away by the Holy Church, and the planetary gear system that was mostly damaged cannot be rebuilt after all!"
"After all, during the war thirty years ago, several major societies and the Original Sin Sect, which represented Miscato University in the most cutting-edge fields of occultism, suffered a huge blow and have not recovered to this day. Without us, the Original Sin Sect, the Balance and the
It is impossible to recreate a timeless movement!”
Qian Chen looked at the tower under the moonlight, he clicked on the shadow under his feet, and said: "The ruins of the Original Sin Sect can't be in the reflection of the tower in the spiritual world and the abyss - the secret ritual of the shadow in the mirror!
"
Gable nodded: "If the Original Sin Sect is still in charge, then as long as you step into the reflection of the tower and get permission, you can step into the Tower of Reflection, which is located between the spiritual world and the abyss and the real world. It is also the original Sin Sect's headquarters at the University of Michigan.
Where the headquarters is located.”
"But if there is no one to preside over this secret ritual, you can only step into the reflection and enter the tower at the correct time, when the hour, minute and second hands point to a specific location."
"Precisely to retain the headquarters of the Original Sin Sect."
"So when we failed thirty years ago, we desperately destroyed the Eternal Movement. But we didn't expect that in order to restrict us from entering the headquarters again, the Holy Church actually took away the balance instrument that balances the spiritual world and the abyss and stabilizes the gap between the three realms. And
Other societies actually allow them to do this..."
Gable gritted his teeth with hatred...
Qian Chen rolled his eyes at him, saying that he seemed to have great affection for this bell tower, but in the end it was you who destroyed it!
"Now the reflection of the tower has lost its balance instrument, and the tower of the abyss and the tower of the spiritual world have merged into one, becoming very scary!"
"But we can still enter the entrance at the bottom of the tower, which is the interface between the real world and the abyss, the spiritual world. Relying on the great mirror that maintains the real world, we can barely maintain stability." Gable said: "I secretly passed through a secret path.
Get in!"
"How to get in?"
Qian Chen thought for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and said: "Wait...I know!"
Gable looked puzzled. This secret had been searched for by the entire Mystical Society and the Holy Church for thirty years.
If it weren't for the clues left by his grandfather, he would never have discovered this secret.
But in Gabo's heart, Qian Chen was already the carrier of God in the world, almost omniscient and omnipotent, so he respectfully waited for Qian Chen's decision.
Qian Chen opened his hand towards Gable. He respectfully took out a broken pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Qian Chen. Qian Chen adjusted the pointer to the correct position through the broken disk.
"Even the most powerful mysteries must abide by the secrets of their roots."
"Time... is the most fundamental and most powerful secret in this world. Therefore, we first need a correct time. I guess it is from 0:05 to 15, the last twenty seconds and the first twenty seconds of each minute.
Second."
Gable looked horrified. He looked at Qian Chen blankly and his lips twitched.
Qian Chen smiled: "Don't be surprised. As long as you know that Si Chen is the foundation of this world, you will understand. Father Deng opened up the spiritual world and the real world, so it represents the foundation and origin of the entire secret ritual - it
The holy hour is the Son! It is from twenty-three o’clock to one o’clock, and the time when the lamp father’s spirituality is the most powerful, enough to open up the spiritual world and the reflection of the abyss, is at midnight!”
"But the foundation of your original sin sect is the path of original sin and the blood cup, so it also has the power of the Mother of Cups. The holy hour of the Mother of Cups is ugliness: one to three o'clock, but it needs to be expressed by the minute hand. So it is five to fifteen.
point."
"The last second hand, falling into the abyss requires the help of the power of the vortex and the corpse, and entering the spiritual world is best with lamps and mirrors, so the second hand points to these moments."
"This is the time to step in!"
"But the Holy Church must also think so, and even the Omniscient Tower has kept its secrets... This is not difficult to guess. Therefore, in the past thirty years, there must be clergy and senior officials of the Holy Church around midnight in the past thirty years.
The tower’s scholars are on duty.”
"They will stare at the countermeasures position reflected in the tower under the moonlight."
Quinn looked at his pocket watch. It was already four o'clock in the morning! It was long past the correct time to enter.
Qian Chen glanced at him: "Why do you think the Original Sin Sect left this trail?"
Of course it's to... force it in at the wrong time!
There will be another chapter later
Chapter completed!
