Sword of Daybreaker

In a complete system of churches, believers, gods, and the power of interpretation of the classics, Gao Wen has a set of convenient and pragmatic logic. This logic may not be so in line with the habits of traditional priests, and may not be in line with the church classics. Explain, but it is undoubtedly more in line with the laws of the real world and the actual state of the current mortal society.

At the same time, he has the highest right to speak, and the highest right to interpret all the acts of the Theocracy, which in a practical sense has the power to define whether any church in the country belongs to "right faith."

The ideological reform activities of the Theocracy is a gradual process. Gao Wen cannot directly destroy all the traditional churches in the country like he bombed the Crow Terrace, nor can he use guns to forcibly reverse the way of thinking of the group. In this gradual progress In the process of guiding, he will inevitably retain some clerical groups who are conservative, but are more able to accept reforms and are more willing to support the Empire’s New Deal. When managing these relatively conservative clergy groups, his highest interpretation of belief behavior Power is the best tool to use.

It's not that no one has resentment for his "right faith and discipline" behavior. Some opponents even curse secretly, believing that the bravery of his iron-fisted king in the realm of sacred faith will sooner or later lead to backlash, and sooner or later he will violate the divine power. And the people who caught the fire with this idea even included some who supported his rule, but the latter might be out of real worry that some bold actions by the emperor might lead to opposition between himself and the gods.

But Gawain himself had never worried about this kind of risk at all.

Because he has more advanced theoretical knowledge than the priests of the old age, he knows the truth closer to the truth than any sacred texts. Just like the rebels thousands of years ago, he, the "rebellious human monarch", is even better than those in the cathedral. The bishops of Li Haoshou know their master better, so when doing some bold actions, he has a certainty: the master doesn't care.

Not only did the Lord not care, but the Lord even wanted to jump down and burn the cathedral for him.

"Now we are not sure whether the gods will respond, and we are not sure which gods will respond. In fact, it is still unknown whether Ms. Ye actually contacted them." After making some arrangements, Gawain thoughtfully Said, "But if Ms. Ye really took action, then almost all of the time, this action is aimed at the destruction of the'fetters of faith'. This is in line with his identity as the sailor and the current situation of the world and the gods, as long as This yoke is really weakened, and the probability of us receiving a response is very high..."

Amber listened carefully to Gawain’s analysis, and suddenly felt something at this time: “I always feel that the most important thing in this process is the tacit understanding between gods and mortals...Both sides can only do limited things and spread limited information. Sometimes I can't even send any information, I can only make a look, and then let the other person reason..."

"Yes, the key is that there must be a tacit understanding between gods and mortals, but the most ironic thing is here," Gao Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head. "All living beings believe in gods and believe in gods for hundreds of years, thousands of years. Even for tens of thousands of years, but it is this belief that has blocked the true understanding and tacit understanding between the two parties. Those priests who strictly follow the classics, if you kill them, they don’t know how to cooperate with their gods. They The gods cast 10,000 eyes at the world, and believers can only analyze 10,000 meaningless oracles. Their lord is almost torn apart by faith on the throne, and the believers are still there. Let me pray now..."

"In the end, it turns out that someone like you who doesn't believe in God at all has become the person who knows and understands them best in the world," Amber gave Gawain a grin, "even a heart-wrenching understanding."

"Actually, what you said is not quite accurate," Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly. "I don't believe in God, but I trust them, and I don't fear God, but I respect them even though I once regarded them as Enemies are even regarded as the greatest danger in the world, but this does not prevent me from seeing them as the best allies now. At least before falling into madness, these gods are far more sincere and credible than any mortal kingdom."

"Okay, okay, your best thing is this'pragmatic spirit'," Amber waved his hand, and then casually asked, "In addition to setting up anti-divine barriers in various churches, try to directly'talk' to the gods. Besides, is there anything else?"

Gawain touched his chin and fell into contemplation. After a while, he shook his head slightly: "We have done this at this stage. We are not sure whether the speculation just now holds, nor whether the state of the gods can withstand further contact. ', trying too much rashly is likely to cause some bad gods to cross that critical point..."

Speaking of this, he paused, as if suddenly remembering something: "Ah, there is one thing that upgrades the anti-divine barrier of the shadow courtyard, and covers the entire courtyard according to the highest standards."

"Shadow Garden..." Amber probably guessed Gawain's thoughts, "Do you think Amone might receive further ‘contact’ from the Three Gods of Abundance?"

"After all, the'invasive plants' that Amone found in the courtyard before were most likely left by the three goddesses," Gawain nodded, "maybe their situation is better than other gods, since this one The channel already exists, I don’t mind betting more."

Amber nodded immediately: "Understood, I will arrange this when I go back."

Then Gawain thought for a while and confirmed that he hadn't missed anything. Then he exhaled and allowed his fast-moving mind to cool down a bit. Then his eyes fell on Amber involuntarily, and he didn't move away for a long time. Of course, the strange gaze could not hide the feeling of the latter. Amber twisted her neck subconsciously: "Why are you looking at me like this..."

Gawain stared at her for several seconds, and then said in a worried tone: "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay," Kohaku stunned, and slowly smiled, "Actually, I am a little used to it now. The strange dreams that popped up suddenly, the'connection' with Ms. Ye, occasionally appeared strange at hand. Things...Anyway, these things have not affected my life now. Even thinking about it from a different perspective, some of them are still useful. Then I think there is nothing to worry about. Anyway, take a step and look at it. It’s a big deal anyway. When you meet with Ms. Ye, inquire about what he wants to do..."

Seeing the unrestrained attitude of the Shadow Assault Goose, although the worry in Gawain's heart is still there, he can't help but smile: "You guy has always been able to see, but it's so easy to find Lady Ye, he It’s impossible for an ancient **** to send us a letter inviting us to visit his house..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the direction of the corridor, and then Heidi's voice sounded from the door with the knock on the door: "Ancestor, may I come in? News from the north."

Gao Wen was taken aback for a moment, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart for some reason, and then he didn't care about analyzing whether this was the "intuition" of a legendary powerhouse, and he responded, "Come in."

The door of the study was pushed open, and Heidi opened the door and walked in. She saw Amber standing in front of the ancestor’s desk at first sight, but she had already taken it off, so she was accustomed to nodding her head and saying hello. So he hurried to the front of Gao Wen: "Ancestor, Victoria Archon has sent information, and the team that landed on Violet Island to investigate the situation has made amazing progress."

The strange "intuition" in his heart became more and more restless, and Gao Wen couldn't help adjusting his sitting posture and staring at Hetty's eyes: "Amazing progress? What did Modil's team find on the island?"

"They met...'people' on the island," Heti said after a pause, and subconsciously glanced at the inexplicable Amber who was standing next to him. "The first is a mysterious girl named'Morning Star'. The other party claims to be an officer of the MIB, and..."

In the next ten minutes, Heidi reported all the intelligence from the north. She tried to maintain her emotional calm and the straightness and accuracy of her words and sentences. However, every sentence she said made Gao Wen and Amber’s wide-eyed, amazing amount of information, a mysterious girl who claims to be an officer of the Shadow Affairs Section of the Military Intelligence Bureau, a group of monuments left after the disappearance of the Violet Kingdom, the continuous magical intelligence, and the most important and most amazing one comes from Lady Ye, An invitation from the city of a thousand towers.

Gao Wen almost failed to maintain his majesty as an ancestor. If it wasn't for the lack of space behind the table, he was afraid he could jump up on the spot!

"The above is the whole content of the intelligence." After the report, Heidi took a half step back. She obviously also knew how shocking the news was, because she had been stimulated by the amazing amount of information in these news just now. "The information revealed in the intelligence is very amazing. It is currently impossible to verify the authenticity of the two identities of'Morning Star' and'Bernadido', but their existence is undoubtedly clear. The core of Violet Island obviously hides a huge Secret. At present, the exploratory team led by Modil has set out again and continues to move towards the hinterland of Violet Island. Any discovery will be contacted as soon as possible."

Gao Wen stared at his eyes for several seconds without moving, until Amber whispered "Ma Ye" next to him, he woke up, subconsciously muttered: "What did I just say, this is really an invitation..."

Heidi was confused: "Ancestor, what did you say?"

"It's nothing," Gawain shook his head and turned to look at Amber. He happened to see the other side staring in astonishment. "I'll confirm that the MIB does not have any Shadow Affairs Division, right?"

"Of course not. Which department of the MIB was not approved by you personally?" Amber immediately replied, "Also, let alone the Shadow Affairs Division, I'm sure I have never heard of the name'Morning Star', although I dare not say it. The names of all the operators, but the elites like'senior operators', I must have the impression, not to mention that when Heidi reported just now, he specifically emphasized the weirdness of the'Morning Star'."

"Yes, we don't have a shadow affairs department," Gao Wen calmed down a little at this time, and his thoughts that were a little confused due to the impact of the huge amount of information were quickly sorted out, clues and rationality returned to his mind, "At least not currently. At least not within our known range..."

Humber suddenly felt that Gawain’s words seemed to have something to say: "Why do you say that? Did you think of something?"

Gawain’s mind is swiftly moving, and some bold ideas have gradually taken shape: "Did you forget, we really have a group of military intelligence officers who have lost contact on Violet Island..."

Amber froze for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "You said Silver-Eyed Corod and the others? But they..."

"I know, so this is just a guess," Gawain shook his head lightly. "After all, we got clues. Those operators who disappeared in the Violet Fog incident did not die, but survived in Lady Night's country. …The officers of the MIB are all elites that you have cultivated, aren't they?"

Kohaku stood there steadily. The expression on her face changed several times. In just a few seconds, she didn't know how many things she had thought about. Then she whispered softly as if talking to herself: "...If you lose contact with the higher-level organization, The remaining personnel should immediately establish temporary teams on the spot to rebuild the command system. If personnel are divided and besieged, they should actively organize self-rescue and mutual rescue while rebuilding the command system...Using all available conditions, unite all forces that can be united, and do their best Make every effort to ensure the survival of personnel, preserve the function of the organization... Under no circumstances should you sit still, don't give up your mission, maintain loyalty, keep secrets, and wait for support..."

She frowned, looked up at Gawain, and saw that the other person also cast a calm gaze at herself.

"You should believe that they can do it." Gao Wen said in a deep voice.

"Of course I believe that Korod and the other operators who disappeared together at the time can do it," Amber nodded subconsciously, but then hesitated a little bit. Years ago..."

"Let’s keep a bold guess, after all, apart from this guess, we don’t have any other clues to explain the origin of the girl named'Morning Star'," Gawain said with a serious expression, "There are still An important issue is that the invitation was obviously from Ms. Ye, and it was an invitation to the city of a thousand towers that supposedly disappeared. To be honest, this was beyond my expectation."

Amber blinked, trying to break away from the previous topic, looking into Gawain's eyes: "Just now you said that Ms. Ye could not send us a letter asking us to visit his house..."

"Nonsense, how can you think of this kind of thing with normal logic," Gawain waved his hands a little annoyed, and then glanced at Amber with strange eyes. "But again, the girl named Morningstar is spreading the word. Mentioned in the'outstanding guard', is this really you?"

"Ah? What do you mean by this reaction?" Amber glanced at Gawain's skeptical attitude and immediately opened his eyes. "The outstanding guard beside you can have others? Isn't it possible that I can still be the two dogs in the yard? ?"

Gao Wen thought for a while. He wanted to say that the two dogs in the yard were indeed more reliable than this one sometimes, but considering that these words might make Amber run wild and fight with the dogs in the yard, he swallowed these words abruptly. When I went back, I turned to a serious expression: "I am mainly afraid that I will be wrong, and I will lead people wrong in the past."

"Your suspicion is outrageous. This clearly means..." Amber said subconsciously, and reacted halfway through the conversation, "Wait, are you really planning to go?"

Gao Wen stretched his hands: "Go, why not? I didn't hesitate when the Dragon God invited me last time. They were all ancient gods."

Amber's eyes rolled: "Seriously, your kind of comparison is not very lucky. Last time you went to Tarrond. Look at that place now..."

Gao Wen: "..."
