Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 5 But there is a wonder here
Magic snowfield, or silent snowfield.

In Norse mythology, there are generally only two states when people arrive in this area.

One is trash abandoned by the gods, and the other is divine revelation that the gods have high hopes for.

As for the Norse expedition team that is currently trekking through the snow and climbing that small hill, they believe that they are the ones chosen by the gods.

Because their leader, the great monster hunter Ulfric, brought a son of God who came from the starlight and guided them to find greater traces.

For the Norse people who believe in the dark gods, they are undoubtedly walking on the path of legend.

Ulfric is a great monster hunter, perhaps even the most powerful monster hunter in Norsca in recent decades or even hundreds of years.

Therefore, the fact that Ulfric received the blessing of the gods and brought the incarnation of the gods and even the guide was actually not a question for the Norse people who were brought out.

Furthermore, the dozen or so people present were originally Ulfric's confidants, and they had no doubt that Ulfric's ability would bring about such a miracle.

However, the situation was different for Ulfric himself and his friends who were walking behind.

"Ulfric, do you think that boy is a blessing from the gods?"

The man with the wolfskin hood walked up to Ulfric and asked in a low voice:

"I don't think that boy is blessed by the gods. I don't sense any blessing from the gods in him. Although the high priest was blocked by you, he was very dissatisfied. This is blasphemy. What did you see?"

"I don't think he is a blessing from God, but I will observe."

"What did you observe?"

"That kid wasn't even speaking our language when he spoke."

Carrying a huge axe and a huge sword, Ulfric, wearing a bloodstained leather armor, walked on the snowy peaks and whispered:

“But here I was, watching that kid fall as soon as he started, and I understood what he was saying.

But his lip movements were not Norse at all. There was no sign of language at all, he just opened his mouth.

"……real?"

"real."

Ulfric nodded calmly, looked at his friend with a stiff expression, and walked behind him and whispered:
“I watched him for more than ten minutes, and he thought he was doing a good job of disguising himself.

It was like a monster in human skin who thought he was speaking. But his voice didn't come from his throat at all, but from his head.

So he better be a blessing from the gods, and if not, I'm not sure what it is, but it's not something we can understand. Best to stay away from it."

"Can't we kill him?"

"From what I can tell, there's probably not much point in killing him. He doesn't show any hostility, but he doesn't show much fear either. His expression just shows that he thinks death would be a waste of time, so he's trying to communicate with us. He also wants to leave here."

In response to his friend's question, Ulfric shook his head.

"So I believe him, understand?"

"If that's how you feel... then I accept it."

"Of course, if we were deceived during this patrol, we will definitely question them when we return. We have no way out. We don't have enough boats, food, or drinking water. We can only take things one step at a time."

Even if it means being with the devil, so what? The Norse people have always been like this.

Looking at the jubilant expedition team in front, Ulfric sighed and walked up.

The Norsemen were a hunting and plundering race, so they were very skilled. Their technological level was far lower than that of the southern humans, but they could always find the enemy's weak points and carry out precise strikes and penetrations. They could not rely on the so-called barbarian power alone.

As a giant hunter, Ulfric is even confident that he is the best giant hunter in the entire Norse race. He is quite confident in his own cognition and feelings.

The young man who fell from the sky did not have any hostility. On the contrary, when he looked at other people and slaves, he felt equal.

The boy's gaze was more filled with love than hostility.

Yes, it's love.

Creepy love.

It was not lust, not possession, not pampering, but a pure, terrifying and vast love that wanted the Norscans and slaves to continue.

For Ulfric, he could feel that when the boy looked at the Norscans and slaves, the expression on his face was not so much that he was afraid of their death, but rather that they were worried that something was missing.

He could sense that although the boy's words about desecrating the factory were fake, he would really do it without hesitation if it was in their interest.

But that kind of horrifying love would probably make people even more shocked if it were spoken out, so Ulfric kept silent about it.

Walking in silence on the rugged mountain road, Ulfric and others soon arrived at the place where he saw Leon.

"There's nothing here, it's still a snowy field. Have we been deceived?"

The friend stood beside Ulfric, squinting his eyes and looking around and asked in a low voice.

"...No, I'm afraid not."

Ulfric looked in a certain direction uncontrollably.

The originally endless snowfield and blizzard seemed to be split by an invisible sword, creating a huge gap the moment they passed Ulfric's sight.

Countless huge metal structures seemed to be born from a blizzard, presenting huge creations that far exceeded the Norse worldview before them.

The moment Ulfric saw the huge metal creature, a waterfall of data appeared in Leon's mind.

'Planet-level super-large man-made wonder: the ancient saint's experimental area (damaged)'

'The first primitive test area built on this planet by a group of people called the Ancient Saints by the natives of this planet, used as a research site for planetary transformation and biological transformation.'

'Originally, this area was to be used as a transformation device for this planet, but due to some unexpected events, the test area was abandoned and the ancient saints chose another plan to transform and repair the planet. The result is clear, they failed. This experimental area has also become a remnant of history.'

'This wonder has eleven stages of repair progress, each requiring different repair manpower and item consumption.'

'Current stage, sleeping'

'This wonder will initially awaken after being incorporated into your sphere of influence. Any unit stationed in this wonder will receive four universal work points. These work points can be converted into any resource such as food, productivity, research points, cultural points, precious metals, magic resources, etc. according to your needs.'

'The spectacle can initially provide one hundred jobs'

'The remaining wonders need to be unlocked before further understanding'

"..."

Transforming gathering places into cities, now.

The moment he saw the wonder value, Li Ang made his decision.
