Chapter 1511： Invitation from the ancient gods (1/2)

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?"
