Sword of Dawn

Gao Wen didn't speak again, but just nodded slightly.

"The Silver Empire has also made preparations—the same is true for the Gaoling Kingdom and the small southern countries," Belsetia also said aside, "On this matter, the top leaders of the Druid Orthodox Church have the same opinion, but It is not ruled out that there will be small-scale counterattacks by secret religious organizations in some forests and diehard primitive believers in the folk. The Elven Royal Court can solve these troubles, but our progress must be slower, I hope you can understand this in advance."

"I understand. After all, the influence of theocracy is deeply rooted in the Silver Empire, and the long lifespan of your race has made it difficult for many elves who have experienced the ancient times to accept...change." Gawain nodded slightly, and at the same time he couldn't help but rise up. I felt unspeakable emotion: in many cases, the progress of the times not only requires the growth of new things, but also the demise of old things, even the demise of a generation of old people, and the need for those superiors who keep old memories and cannot accept the changes in the world. A generation gradually fades away from the main body of society. Although it seems cold and ruthless to say so, the old and the new are changing, and the world often works like this.

This is the tragedy of the long-lived race in this world—compared with those short-lived races that change quickly, the members of the long-lived race... are too difficult to die.They have lived so long that their memory has entangled their race like a long rope, and even though the rope has rotted and moldy, the younger generation is still trapped in it and cannot get rid of it.

Rosetta on the side showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Are there still elves who firmly believe in the original druid teachings and refuse to recognize the existing druid faction?"

"Yes, there are not only followers, but even a small number of old spirits who have personally experienced the 'Era of Primitive Religion' are alive in the world," Belsetia said with a complex expression, "This even includes a high-ranking person from more than 3000 years ago. Druid priests and a small group of priests... Although these elves have been far away from the power center of the church, acquiescing to the order established by the elves royal court and the symbolic status of the highest priest of the royal family, their influence in some primitive religious groups Still huge, and it's not ruled out that they may have had occult connections with some esoteric groups over the past 3000 years..."

Gawain couldn't help frowning. Belsetia didn't mention this situation last time, and he couldn't help but look at the Silver Queen: "They won't like the Elven Royal Court to continue talking about issues involving the God of Nature. A 'reform' of...how are you going to deal with this group?"

"It's impossible for us to take tough measures, and we can't turn a blind eye to them," Belsetia sighed, "I will be patient with them—don't worry, I have dealt with them for hundreds of years, and this matter It's a headache, but not unsolvable."

Speaking of this, the Silver Queen smiled helplessly, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Perhaps only their gods can persuade these old people who refuse to forget the past."

Gao Wen: "..."

Chapter 1101 Qualitative

The Silver Queen had no intention of speaking, but Gao Wen listened to it with intentions. With a slight movement in his heart, he felt that this topic seemed weird—let the former God of Nature talk to those devout believers who do not want to forget the past in person?This thing is probably just a whimsical idea for the Silver Queen, but it seems to be physically feasible for Gawain...

That "God" is still watching "TV" in his backyard. According to the monitoring team's report, he spends at least twenty hours a day on the Internet...

But then again, what's the point for Amorn and those persistent believers?How can a group of elves who have been obsessed for 3000 years give up their obsession safely and securely?Let the god of nature perform on the spot and die one more...

Gawain shook his head lightly, and quickly shook off the strange idea that suddenly appeared for no reason. He knew that this idea was just a random thought. In any case, he did not dare to let Amoen and the outside world think about it casually. It is absolutely impossible for mortals to re-contact—even if it is just to speak to them or show their deeds once, the risk behind this matter is too great, and it is very likely that Amorn, who has left the position of God, will re-establish connection with the divine right. earnings are unpredictable.

He couldn't casually waste the achievements of the 3000-year fall of the White Star on such a joke.

But... if you change your approach... change your thinking...

Gao Wen couldn't help but fell into thinking, but his thinking was soon interrupted by the Silver Queen. Belsetia cast a curious look: "What are you thinking?"

"...It's nothing, just some trivial matters," Gawain woke up from his thoughts, he glanced at Belsetia, and some plans emerged in his mind, but soon he temporarily suppressed these unformed thoughts, and raised his head. At the beginning, I looked at a mechanical clock not far away, and saw that the pointer on it was gradually reaching the highest mark, "It's almost time for a break... Let's go back to the meeting first."

In the oath stone ring, the representatives of all parties also returned to their positions one after another—in fact, most of the representatives did not even leave the range of the stone ring at all. During the limited 10-minute break, they seized the time to contact other representatives , grasp the situation as much as possible, in order to be able to increase the grasp of the situation, even if the people who leave are communicating with their own teams, seeking advice from think tanks and intelligence assistance - no one really will In this short period of time, let your mind clear, because everyone knows that this meeting has come to an end, and the real relaxation is best reserved until the stone ring is opened again.

After confirming that all the representatives had returned to their positions and that the staff outside the stone ring were ready, Belsetia stood up from her position. She glanced at the audience silently, then raised her head slightly. Right hand: "Then, according to the meeting procedure, the Covenant Stone Ring is now sealed off. Except for life-threatening situations, the locked state will continue until the end of this closed-door meeting."

After the Silver Queen's voice fell, a low humming sound had already sounded from the edge of the venue, and then layers of magical brilliance suddenly appeared on the surface of the majestic stone pillars, and countless ancient and difficult runes emerged from the stone walls. And spread out like petals, connecting each other in the air to form a light green rune curtain wall, and then there was brilliance walking, and the diffused light and shadow were quickly filled between those runes-after just a few seconds, the entire oath A luxuriant, boundless and endless dense forest rose outside the stone ring. The original wasteland scene and the distant town scenery were all replaced by this dense forest that suddenly appeared, and there was no trace of it.

But outside the Oath Stone Ring, the various teams waiting in the rest area did not see the "dense forest". They just watched the huge ancient ritual field covered by a ray of light, and disappeared into the wilderness in the next second. ——Many people had a little commotion because of this, but after seeing the elf affairs officers, Typhon, and Cecil's work team still quietly resting beside the venue, the commotion people quickly quieted down.

Inside the oath stone ring, the Silver Queen finished her "reversal" of the ceremony hall. After she sat down again, Gao Wen stood up: "Then let's start this meeting. Presumably many people have gone through so much After the meeting of the day, we have realized the topic that we have always deliberately avoided, so now... it is time to face the biggest trouble: about the gods of our world."

In the much deserted venue due to the decrease in number of people, many representatives moved slightly in their seats. Some people's faces changed slightly, some people subconsciously fell into thinking, and some people clenched their fists and tapped their foreheads, but no one was in front of this topic. Exclaimed gaffe.As Gawain said, after so many days of meetings, seeing the images left on the Typhon-Cecil battlefield, and learning of the disaster that happened in Tarrond, any wise Everyone should have guessed the content of this closed-door meeting by now.

"So far, I don't think anyone will question the authenticity of the materials we saw at the opening of the meeting," Gao Wen continued after a short pause, "What I want to say is that those materials are far from all--

"As early as a few years ago, Cecil had come into contact with this part of the truth, and Typhon faced the 'dark side of God' even earlier than Cecil. Even dating back to the ancient Gondor era, some prophets Faced with this dark reality, the Illuminati, known as the 'Rebels', spend their entire lives searching for a way to fight against fate...

"Here is what I want to say: this is not a crisis suddenly exposed to mortals, in fact this crisis has been with our civilization for thousands of years, thousands of years, and many people have faced and faced it for a long time. Tried to fight it, this is a 'dark river' in the development of our civilization, the vast majority of people don't know its existence, but it has always been flowing in the depths of our history."

"This sounds too general," the leader of the Northern City-State Federation stood up. "Is there any more detailed information that can help us quickly grasp the situation?"

"Yes, the information is placed in the hidden compartment under your desk," Gao Wen nodded, "You can read it yourself. We have explained the situation in as concise and clear as possible. If you still have questions during the reading process , you can speak at any time."

Under the flag of the Ogure Tribal State, Wenna Baizhi quickly found the information that Gao Wen said in the grid under the stone table-to her surprise, this was not a document that was widely used in the previous agenda. It was not a high-quality manuscript paper, but a roll of parchment paper with an obvious elf style and a slightly shiny surface. The moment she opened the roll, she saw a few shiny runes flashing from the edge of the paper. However, this distinctive feature made her instantly realize what it was:

A magic secret contract, the biggest function of this secret contract is that it cannot be copied in any form, cannot be overwritten or tampered with in any form after it is made, cannot be taken away from a specific area, and can only be opened once.

Gao Wen's voice came from not far away: "In order to ensure the safety of the information, we have to distribute the information in the form of magic secret deeds. This is not to doubt anyone present, but it is related to the gods. Safety must be taken seriously.”

The leaders or plenipotentiaries from various countries did not have any doubts. They lowered their heads and began to carefully read the data stored in the magic secret. As those ancient and terrible truths and modern research results were revealed one by one, a dignified and solemn atmosphere began to take shape in the oath stone ring.

The expressions on everyone's faces became serious, and some people even started to gently wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

After some time, a female leader with fiery red hair was the first to stand up: "Isn't there any accurate measurement of the 'countdown' mentioned here? Nor do we have any way to measure it? "

"Unfortunately, this is beyond our current knowledge," Gawain shook his head lightly, "The situation of the gods is different, and the observation of the gods itself will lead to strong reverse pollution - those who try to calculate the countdown Before the conclusion could be reached, they mutated and died due to divine pollution. This was confirmed by many pioneers who sacrificed for this in the Gondor era 1000 years ago.

"Of course, now that our technology has developed to a certain extent, Cecil is trying various methods that can effectively resist divine pollution, and has achieved preliminary results. If our protection technology is advanced enough, perhaps one day we can To directly observe the Kingdom of God, or even directly monitor the state of a certain god—but I don’t know when that day will come.”

"...Monitoring the Kingdom of God and the gods sounds like a terrible plan," another representative couldn't help but whispered, "But..."

"But we have to do this," Rosetta broke the silence, the ruler of Typhon looked at the representative with deep and solemn eyes, "Typhon has already proved with his own blood the consequences of the gods losing control - this countdown It really exists, and as long as mortal civilization is still developing, it will never stop. Even if we only slightly extend the average life expectancy of the people and increase the population, it will increase the changes in thoughts and increase the out-of-control of gods. risk."

"To stop the countdown, we must stop all developmental behaviors, even considering that the experience and knowledge of intelligent races are passively accumulated, we must consciously destroy the population, destroy knowledge, block technology, and return to ancestral life," Belsetia said. She said suddenly, her voice was soft, but it echoed throughout the oath stone ring with a certain penetrating power, "Who is willing to accept this price?"

The meeting hall fell silent instantly, and the representatives looked at each other in blank dismay. Obviously, no one was willing to accept such a terrible result.

What's more... Even if such an extreme method is really used to stop the crazy countdown of the gods, there is more than one crisis in this world. What about the demon tide?What about dangerous natural environments?How to deal with the surrounding crisis after the decline of national power?Those who can sit here are not stupid people, and no one would choose to have their limbs amputated in order to avoid falling.

What the Silver Queen mentioned was obviously an unacceptable choice from the very beginning.

"Then we have the most basic consensus," Gao Wen broke the silence at this moment, his voice was steady and powerful, "The development and progress of civilization is necessary for survival, we cannot stagnate, let alone accept retrogression--the resulting Changes in the trend of thought are also inevitable. Problems will not disappear out of thin air, and we can only find ways to solve them, which is the premise of everything.”

No one objected to this, because everything was obvious, but after a brief silence, a leader from the southwestern region of the mainland couldn't help standing up: "Then, must we regard the gods as enemies?"

"That's the first thing we're going to do in this meeting—determining the gods," Gao Wen glanced at the representative quietly, then he retracted his gaze and calmed his expression, and said in a deep voice, "Thousands of years Even for tens of thousands of years, belief has always been an important part of the life of all ethnic groups in Loren. In any case, we must recognize its positive role in the development of civilization, and this positive role is still in effect today. On the other hand However, there is no real "country of unbelievers" in the member states of the alliance. All of our countries have their own Holy See forces, and religious activities are closely related to our people. It is impossible for us to violently and directly remove religion from our This is true.

"Under the above two premises, is the 'God' really our enemy?

"The rebels 1000 years ago were indeed so qualitative that they believed that the gods were indeed the enemy of civilization, if not now, then sooner or later-the pioneers are respectable, but unfortunately, as our cognition progresses , we also have to question the original views of the pioneers.

"More and more evidence shows that the gods have no subjective malice towards civilization from the beginning to the end. In fact, due to the influence of the trend of thought, their goodwill towards civilization is the mainstream; secondly, the 'countdown' to the madness of the gods itself is also It is not the subjective will of any party, this is the result of the operation of the laws of nature, unfortunately, no god can be responsible for this law; in the end, the gods will indeed cause devastating damage to civilization after they become crazy, but they are They have not actively caused any damage before, and even the opposite—as long as conditions permit, the gods will actually take the initiative to curb this crazy tendency, and they will take some kind of self-help behavior.

"Regarding this 'self-help behavior', we can't release too detailed information for the time being, but I can guarantee that Cecil has observed enough evidence to prove that there are signs of the gods actively breaking the 'shackles'."

Speaking of this, Gawain deliberately paused, and then continued: "Therefore, I don't think we should regard the gods as enemies or potential enemies-they, like us, are subject to the natural law of 'shackles of thoughts'." As for the victim, even if an extreme situation such as the Battle of the God of Winterhold occurs, even if a certain god will stand on the opposite side of civilization one day in the future, we must have a clear understanding and determination of this.”

After finishing speaking, Gao Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if part of the burden in his heart had been let go.

After going through so many ups and downs, collecting so much information, and conducting countless demonstrations, he finally completed the characterization of the relationship between God and man in the ruthless "laws" of this world—only for him In itself, the significance of this matter is actually no less than the establishment of the Community Alliance.

Only when everything is fixed can it have a clear direction.

While breathing a sigh of relief, he also noticed the changes in the expressions on the faces of each representative under the stone pillars.

Nearly one-third of the representatives were obviously relieved, their expressions were still serious, but their faces were no longer so tense, and some kind of inexplicable light even lit up from their eyes...

Gao Wen sighed softly in his heart.

In this world, too many people cannot really "give up" their gods after all. Even if it is the kingship that is naturally opposed to theocracy, what they are opposing is only the power of secular priests, not the gods who protect the world .

Chapter 1102 Theocratic Council

In this two-way locked cage, gods, like human beings, are victims of the cruel natural law. This is not only Gao Wen's characterization of this matter, but also all those who have participated in the disobedience plan and know the whole inside story so far. The consensus reached was that even Kamel and Veronica/Ophelia, who used to be high-ranking rebels, have now agreed with Gawain's views.

But for the representatives present, the biggest emotion in their hearts at the moment is not the nature of this matter, but the supreme gods who have always been the "victims" of something-this cognition The huge subversion in the world made everyone's expressions complicated, and the cognition they had developed since birth made them instinctively think that this statement was absurd, but the irrefutable facts made them have to admit these things in front of them .

"Well, the gods are victims...I don't think anyone has ever thought of this theory, but since it is a fact, we have to admit it," Paladin Huishanyan, the plenipotentiary ambassador from Forge City, stood up from his seat When he got up, his voice was deep and powerful, as if the sound of rolling boulders came from the cave, "Then what can us mortals do? If this is a cycle of contradictions that even the gods cannot break free..."

"Gods are saving themselves, so of course we have to save ourselves," Gawain replied calmly, "We are facing a road with no choice. In the face of the laws of nature, there is no option of surrender and detours. The cruel laws will not Care about the personal wishes of mortals—either solve this problem, or everyone will die, even the gods who protect this world, they will die too.

"It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. The records of the giant dragon can prove that the civilizations destroyed in the development process are like grass in the wind, and they cannot survive one after another.

"So we have to save ourselves, and this is essentially a joint effort of mortals and gods to save ourselves - although due to some factors, we cannot directly communicate with the gods, and we cannot directly cooperate with the gods, but since we have mastered some Law, this kind of 'self-help' is theoretically feasible."

"Mortals and gods save themselves together..." Melita Purnia raised her head subconsciously under the banner that symbolized Tarrond. She looked at Gawain who was speaking with a solemn gesture in astonishment. Subconsciously repeating the other party's conclusion just now - in her long memory, this is the boldest and even the most arrogant statement she has ever heard from a mortal, but this statement that is so bold that it is almost arrogant is like a flash of lightning For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she was summoned by the dragon god for the last time, and thought of the eyes that the god had looked at her gently. She felt that she understood something, but this feeling Soon, it flowed away from the bottom of her heart like water.

"To save ourselves together..." Rosetta Augustus muttered a few words softly, his brows were slightly furrowed, but soon gradually relaxed, a faint smile appeared on his face, he knocked Knocking on the stone table in front of him, he seemed to be in a very happy mood and muttered to himself, "As expected of you, I really dare to say it..."

"How do we save ourselves?" The leader of the northern city-state association broke the silence. This tall man looked into Gao Wen's eyes, "Have you thought of a specific plan?"

"The connection between God and man is based on the 'trend of thought', and this is a long-term influence formed by subtle influences. We cannot roughly cut it off, nor can we use the executive power of a few powerful countries to do 'partial cutting'. The safest and most feasible way is to implement a controllable 'mind release' movement around the world, and carry out a comprehensive, orderly, and safe 'relaxation'," Gao Wen nodded in response, "Based on this, we Proposal to set up a special organization, the 'Theocratic Council'.

"The Theocratic Council can be regarded as the spiritual continuation of the rebellious plan in the Gondor era, but the specific operation mode and means have been changed according to the modern situation. The fundamental goal of the Theocracy Council is to relieve the potential danger of 'divine disaster'. It is planned to be composed of the following departments: Theological Research Institute, Theocratic Arbitration Tribunal, Theocratic Planning Agency, Divine Disaster Countermeasures Agency...

"The Institute of Theology is the main technical department. It has a series of facilities such as various god analysis laboratories, theological knowledge bases, and divine material storage. Its duty is to analyze all knowledge related to the gods, including their birth mechanism, operation Mechanism, extinction mechanism, and out-of-control mechanism, from theory to technology, establish a set of system tools that are understandable, accessible, and applicable to ordinary people;

"The Theocratic Arbitration Tribunal is used to connect with the specific Holy See. Its duty is to ensure that the order of the various sects is controllable, to ensure that a series of plans formulated by the Theocracy Program are fully implemented, to rule on the behavior of orthodoxy and heresy, and to rule on legal and illegal gods. Depending on the country, the Arbitration Tribunal here and there may be run as a secret service, but in any case it must function effectively...

"The Theocracy Program is responsible for formulating a series of plans for 'adjustment' of ideological trends and theocracy. Its members are all of you here, and some of its seats will be reserved for church leaders of various denominations in the future-this is what I must Emphasized one point. We are not trying to fight against or destroy any legitimate and beneficial church, let alone destroy the gods behind them. This is a joint self-help, so those church leaders who are willing to cooperate are also our natural allies. We must To win the active support of various sects, let them realize the seriousness of the problem...

"Of course, if some people are unwilling to support, then we have to find a way to make them willing - it is a matter of life and death for all mortals, unfortunately, some things cannot be discussed.

"The Divine Disaster Countermeasures Agency is an extremely important 'disaster response unit'. They will directly apply the cutting-edge technology from the Institute of Theology to directly fight against the gods who tend to lose control or even have begun to lose control. This is the second point I want to emphasize: Although the gods are 'victims' just like us, this is limited to the gods before they lose control. Once the gods lose control, their actions are no longer controlled by their subjective consciousness. They will evolve into unconscious natural disasters, just like tsunamis Like an earthquake, we must resolutely eliminate this disaster... Just like what Augustus and I did on the battlefield of Winterhold, like what the dragons did in Tarrond..."

Gawain slowly uttered his plan, and behind every word and sentence were the contributions of countless people—from the research team led by Kamel to the 700 years of continuous observation and accumulation by Veronica. From the data, to the lessons accumulated by the Doom Society, the Eternal Sleepers, and the Sons of the Storm on the wrong path, and even to the knowledge "stolen" by the Augustus family at the cost of the lives of several generations in the past 200 years, even back to More than 1000 years ago, dating back to the original disobedients... During the arduous journey of search that spanned ten centuries, the bits and pieces accumulated by mortals finally gradually merged and formed, becoming the reverberating sound in this oath stone ring. voice.

The gray elf leader from the Ogure tribal country stood up, and the short lady stepped on her chair indifferently: "In terms of specific actions to control the trend of thought and interfere with the operation of the gods, there are relatively clear plan?"

"Yes, according to the information we have so far, it is feasible to guide the whole people in the fields of culture, ideology, and belief activities," Gao Wen nodded. Habitual reliance on traditional Chinese culture, reinterpretation of theological classics, and reducing the blindness of the public's beliefs..."

Gawain patiently explained, and following his narration, nearby Rosetta Augustus and Belsetia nodded slowly: they were no strangers to what Gawain was talking about at the moment.

"I have another question." After Gao Wen explained, Wenna Baizhi still did not sit down, her expression became more serious, "After our series of measures took effect, after we weakened the public and After the connection between the gods... how will the gods be affected? After losing so much faith support, will they really not perish?"

Faced with the questioning of the gray elf leader, Gawain's expression became serious.

He was not surprised by this question - the Ogure tribal country has always been a country that attaches great importance to tradition, and they have unique belief activities that have a profound impact on their own society. Among the mountains of the tribal country, many different races They all believe in various gods, including the main righteous gods in the current mainland, as well as the mountain gods they believe in. People in this country have a different view of their gods than people in other places. Deep feelings, so facing the series of "theocratic transformation plans" proposed by Gawain, this gray elf leader must have doubts in his heart.

"They won't perish——I can assure you," Gao Wen looked into Wenna Baizhi's eyes and said solemnly, "Unless they are in the early stage when the trend of thoughts has not yet formed and the spirit body is unstable, otherwise A normal god who has been worshiped by believers for a long time and has the ability to perform miracles will not die after the chain of belief is broken. After they are formed, they will form a stable self-circulation, and their power will be controlled and will not last Dispersed, even if the connection of belief is broken, they will just stop growing or experience a certain degree of decline-this is better than going crazy or dying."

Wenna Bai Zhi couldn't help asking: "Has this been confirmed?"

Confirmation...how can it be called confirmation... Anyway, the big white deer in the backyard has been enjoying the Internet every day recently, and his energy is getting better every day.And according to the report sent two days ago, there might be a goddess who is cats in the backyard. It’s been half a year since that sister’s funeral, and now she’s competing with the God of Nature for the remote control every day. like dying...

But this kind of evidence obviously cannot be disclosed to the outside world now. Although it is all facts, speaking out will quickly reduce the seriousness of the whole meeting and even the credibility of all the previous materials. Gao Wen can only think in his mind Thinking about it, the solemn and solemn expression was still maintained on his face: "There is already observational evidence, but it cannot be made public at this stage."

Wenna Bai Zhi looked at Gao Wen, and after a few seconds she exhaled lightly, her expression relaxed, and she sat back on the chair again: "I understand. But I hope to get more information from the shared information later. evidence."

Gao Wen nodded and glanced across the audience: "The significance of the Theocracy Council is no less than that of the Community Alliance we just established. It requires the close cooperation of all member states, the sharing of knowledge and technology, and the cost input of all countries. Establishing a united front equivalent to a 'joint vigilance circle' would hardly yield the immediate economic or political benefits of establishing a circumcontinental air route - of course, sooner or later there would be such gains, but it was not destined to be The fundamental purpose of the Theocratic Council.

"The biggest benefit it brings us is 'survival' itself.

"It's not easy to make a decision. Next, each of us will have ample opportunity to speak, who is in favor, who is against, and who has doubts... Everyone speaks freely. I only hope that under the solemn flag of all countries, we will not have any reservations."

……

In the chaotic and gloomy courtyard of the Fortress of Disobedience, the light and shadow projected by the magic net terminal and the faint white radiance of the giant deer Amorn complement each other, creating a dim but reassuring light in this dark and gloomy place.

Mirmina, who was covered in magical clouds all over her body, focused on watching the phantom drama screen presented on the holographic projection, until the music sounded and the list appeared, she couldn't help muttering softly: "Why did the last mage apprentice You have to die...the script writers are really heartless..."

Amoen, who was resting with his eyes closed, ignored the old god who had watched four ghost dramas in a row, and only opened his eyes after a while and said casually, "What do you think they are talking about now?"

Mirmina didn't react for a while: "They? Who? Those craftsmen in the last show?"

"...get your brains out of the Phantom Play, they're rotten and moldy, ma'am," Amorn seemed to sigh, "I'm talking about that meeting—you don't wonder if they'll be there What's the last thing to talk about?"

Mirmina turned her head, her eyes filled with arcane brilliance narrowed slightly, and she smiled softly after a while: "You have been away from the material world for 3000 years, are you still unable to let go of the children?"

"Elves can live for a long time, and some children may still be alive now... But this world has become something they can't adapt to, and after this meeting, it will change even more rapidly," Amon said slowly, His eyes fell on Mirmina, "Did you let it go without paying attention? Even if most of the world is just your shallow believers and general believers..."

"I don't care, they all wrote the mage's apprentice to death...my little Ravencrest..."

"...don't blame the playwright, it's based on real events, you should read the synopsis before the play."

"I know, that's why I'm even angrier..."

The courtyard fell silent for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, Amoen's voice broke the silence: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, do you feel that your humanity...has been 'awakened' more and more rapidly recently? Already? You think like a mortal now, with emotions so clear, although this may be a good thing, but... this is not the speed you originally expected."

Chapter 1103 tacit understanding

The flourishing of humanity often stems from the decline of divinity.

In the vast and boundless courtyard of shadows, the two former gods fell into silence and contemplation at the same time. Only the magic net terminal on the side was still projecting light, shadow and sound from the mortal world. This kind of silence lasted for a long time, Mirmi Na Cai suddenly broke the silence: "It seems that it is right to find you to kill time... If it is me, I am afraid it will take a long time to observe the changes in myself."

Amoen's gaze quietly fell on Mirmina: "So that's why you've been bothering me all this time?"

"No, the main reason is that you have internet here."

"... Well, at least honesty is a good character," Amon seemed to want to sigh, but finally got back to the topic, "Then tell me about your 'humanity'—do you have a clue why your humanity Part of it has improved so quickly?"

"How can I have any clue?" Mirmina shook her head, the confusion in her tone was sincere, "In the final analysis, everything I have done so far is an adventure, an experiment, and there is no reference before. For example, there is not much exact data in the process, and I can only estimate the changes in my divinity and humanity based on my feelings. Maybe this is the normal situation now? Anyway...humanity flourishes, divinity declines, That's always a good thing."

"Divinity means madness. The more we lean towards it, the farther we are from reason. But on the other hand, divinity also means the connection between us and mortal thoughts. Mortals will not suddenly forget certain things collectively, so this kind of It is impossible for the connection to disappear..." Amoen's eyes were crystal clear, and his voice echoed softly in the courtyard, "According to our knowledge, the mortal world has neither experienced a large-scale population reduction in recent times, nor It is possible that within a few months there will be a transfer of thought trends all over the world, and the speed at which your divinity is declining is obviously far faster than the speed at which mortals forget you... This is a huge anomaly, I think it is best not to use a casual sentence 'It's all a good thing' explains the past."

"...Well, I also think that in just these few months, mortals will not have forgotten me," Mir Mina was silent for a moment, and had to restrain her indifferent look, and began to take Ah Moen asked the question, "But speaking of my 'humanity'...Old Lu, you seem to have changed recently, didn't you notice it?"

"I don't like the nickname you gave me," Amon said immediately, and then his eyes shrank a little, which was a sign of his deep thinking, "You said I have changed recently?"

"Yes, and it has changed a lot," Mirmina said directly, "The biggest change is that you talk a lot more now, and more and more 'initiatives' are appearing in your character—I still remember just now When I saw you, you looked sluggish and dull, although you are still sluggish now, you are not lazy at all."

Amorn fell into deep thought, and in his thoughts he said slowly: "So... the divinity of you and me is declining, and this has caused us to show a more 'human' state. This change happened recently... …and the mortal world hasn't seen corresponding drastic changes lately—so what do you think is the most likely explanation?"

"Something is interfering with the connection between us and the 'trend of thought'," Mir Mina's thoughts were running quickly, and she immediately expressed her thoughts, "or it is filtering out the influence of the trend of thought on us!"

"What would that be?" Amorn's voice sounded a little cautious, even a little nervous. Although he was once the supreme god believed by the elves, he is now trapped here and has almost no power to control the direction of anything, so He is particularly sensitive to unknown changes, "Who would interfere with the connection between us and mortal thoughts for what purpose? And who would have such ability?"
