137. Three major systems

Sun Digui's severely overdrawn natural power was slowly recovering, and most of the treatment of the injured druid fell on Zuo Lin. Zuo Lin is duty-bound, these druids who participated in this defense operation, except for Vichnik, are relatively young druids, which are basically the basis of the combat units that will be subordinate to the operation department. Zolin will select 15 of these druids to form a pure combat unit, and 5 to 10 of the druids who did not participate in the operation this time as reserve candidates. The remainder will be subordinate to the Headquarters Security Force and the Research Component, respectively. As the Druid Council finally resolves to become a more upright and coherent organization, there are a number of problems that everyone will have to face.

As a druid who can be regarded as spanning the three lines of animals, plants, and spells, Zuo Lin's consumption after such a big battle is also amazing. So some simple spells were cast, and he handed them over to Yan Yingxue, who was extremely powerful. Anyway, the cost of spells such as healing is a bit larger, but there is no bad reaction when you use it, at most, the recovery is slower. But this can give Yan Yingxue a lot of opportunities to practice. Even, it can make Yan Yingxue more interested in the druid's healing technique. After watching this battle, seeing the dripping blood, seeing the tyrannical and bloody side of the force of nature full of vitality did not make Yan Yingxue feel much disgusted, in fact, after sleeping in the room, Yan Yingxue's emotional recovery was even faster than Zuo Lin. Perhaps, this is also some kind of ability of her as a druid with extraordinary talent.

After withstanding an attack of this magnitude from the Dark Council, is it time to fight back. If there is a counterattack, how to counterattack has become a question that everyone will pay attention to. Although the druids have fully demonstrated their strong fighting power in defensive battles, there is no doubt that the druids lag behind the other superpowers in terms of intelligence. With the two-tier structure of druids and squires alone, it is impossible to fully grasp the situation that they should have mastered. Unlike groups such as the Holy See and the Dark Council, the Druids are always a force outside the state system, and they cannot obtain information through the intelligence system of their respective countries and the control system of the Superpowers. In this regard, it is Insula who has done the best. As the top instructor of the United States in wilderness survival training. Many of the students trained by Insula are now serving as instructors or commanders in various units, and although there are strict rules of secrecy, when they actually want to know something, they can still get some even rumors from these students through various channels, although that is not enough. But at least a lot of troublesome situations can be avoided.

Jin Xiaohua was a little scoffing at the intelligence gathering and organization of the Druid Council. When he tried to organize a counterattack, he found that other than knowing where the headquarters of the Dark Council was, there were few other circumstances to use as a basis for planning an operation. If this had happened while the NSA was planning an operation, the guy in charge of intelligence gathering would have been shot. Fortunately, Insula is about to retire from the U.S. military, and he will retain his position as an advisor to the CDC. Because apart from him, who has survived various virus crises for many years, the CDC has not found a replacement for him. After Insula's retirement, he will be tasked with organizing the intelligence of the Druid Council, which is a little late, but better than nothing. But the intelligence organization is different from the operations department in the hands of Zorin, which is composed entirely of druids. In fact, the intelligence system would be very limited even to the use of those attendants, almost from a blank slate. Although the squires also obey the Druid Council, more often than not, the squires are directly under the orders of the druids they follow, as is a tradition that has been carried over from ancient times. Only in the event of the death of a druid will his attendants be unconditionally subordinate to the headquarters of the Druid Council.

As a legendary high-level instructor in the U.S. military, Insula is registered in various intelligence organizations around the world, and Jin Xiaohua, who has long heard of Insula, was also depressed for a long time when he first learned that Insula was actually a druid. Because in this way, almost all of the NSA's descriptions of Insula will have to be reversed. But now she was curious about what this Insula would do for the sake of this intelligence organization.

In the aftermath of the attack, the staffing plan for the Operations Service and the establishment of the Intelligence Service were adopted without any suspense and were called upon to expedite implementation. With sufficient funds, it will take at least 3 to 5 years for the Intelligence Service to take shape, and the Operations Service is also facing the problem of running-in. Everyone is busy with all kinds of problems.

At this time, Sun Digui received a courier, a courier from Mertonke. The senior sent him two documents, one was a copy of the essay "Faith in Our World," which he had written at the seminary that eventually led him to reveal his identity, and the other was a copy of the most recent print of The Messenger. It had become a tradition that the Inquisition was held jointly by a senior cardinal and a young cardinal, and neither cardinal could make a decision without leaving the other. But Mordonke still decided to establish a personal relationship with Sun Digui.

Flipping through the papers he wrote back then, Sun Digui's expression was a little complicated. And Zuo Lin, found out about this.

"Teacher, what is this?" Zuo Lin asked curiously.

"Some of the explanations that I still find interesting are nothing more. Sun Digui said very open-mindedly.

“…… Like, it's something very interesting. His gaze swept roughly over the pages of the document, and Zuo Lin's interest deepened.

"I should be able to explain these things to you, perhaps...... It can help you master a little bit stronger. I think you'll need it. Sun Digui said with a smile.

"Teacher, didn't you say that the power of the druids comes from knowledge and the accumulation of time?"

Sun Digui smiled wryly and said, "Yes, indeed." The power of the druids is like this. But aren't you curious? Why can I use shamanic witchcraft, black witchcraft, divine spells, and in addition to being able to use elemental spells with the power of nature, I can also use some standard four-element system magic, and even Taoist runes, Buddhist mana mana, and I can use some simple ones? Have you not thought about what tricks are in this? Or do you think that it is efficient to use the power of nature to simulate these things? Don't you think it is a bit troublesome to explain these things purely in terms of the force of nature?

"Teacher......" Zuo Lin was stunned, could it be that there were other tricks in it?

Actually, this is just a way of explanation. Luckily, I'm a druid, and a druid is a very zì yóu system. Whether or not my friends understand my theories or think they can try, at least I won't be slaughtered as heretics. Not to mention being burned at the stake. …… Bernard didn't like what I said, but he meant that I was a madman. However, you are my student, and I want to at least let you understand that. Sun Digui was very happy.

Zuo Lin asked apprehensively, "Is this difficult?"

"No, it's simple. "I'm just dividing all the ways of understanding our world into three systems: science, religion, and the occult." ”

Sun Digui's theory is very grandiose. He believes that people in this world have made various efforts to understand the world. But in general, it can be divided into three systems. These three systems represent the ideas of different groups of people, but they have a relationship of mutual influence and interpenetration. Science, focusing on observation, reasoning and experimentation, hopes to grasp the objective laws of operation in this world. Religion, on the other hand, focuses on giving rational explanations for a wide range of matters, which is based on the integrity of its own system, and religion does not always conform to facts. It only attaches to the facts it wants to explain, and it seeks to make subjective explanations conform to objective facts. The occult, on the other hand, does not focus on the level of interpretation, but through induction, it enables itself to express what it wants to express, which can be an objective understanding of things, or subjective imagination, deduction and even speculation. After some people came to their own understanding, everyone influenced the people around them with their own understanding.

Whether it is the druid's system of natural power or the shamanic system of soul power, it is actually just an advanced evolution of the occult. In fact, both are extracted from primitive totem worship. The two are extremely close, and because of this, almost all druids have little difficulty mastering some basic shamanic spells, as both systems actually seek to express and reproduce nature, or to place greater emphasis on it.

Even the four-element magic system can also be classified under the category of occultism. Because the four-element magic system is actually expressing and reproducing nature in some aspects.

Religion, on the other hand, although it gives different explanations for various things, is not completely different from the occult in terms of the cultivation of abilities. The connection between the two is far greater than some people realize and imagine. The idea of "light" and "darkness" being included in the elemental system was once prevalent, and although some magicians and alchemists pulled tiger skins to elevate their status, it was not completely unreasonable. Putting the various energies of this world into one system is absolute, but it is also a way to explain it. Because these basic elemental systems are indeed the basis of this world. At the very least, this is a relatively complete explanation until it is recognized that the underlying energies of these elements are more fundamental atoms.

Eastern religions favor qi yun and jīng gods, focusing on total energy mastery and control, mixing the various systems into one. However, the doctrine of the five elements and so on still have a strong expression in the Taoist system and the spontaneous practice system.

However, since both religion and the occult are quite subjective, it is practically impossible to escape from the confines of human subjective consciousness. After so many years of continuous development of each other, the boundary between science and science has become wider and wider, and the penetration of science has also become more and more. The Druids accepted the theory of evolution, the theory of genetics, and the idea of DNA, which in turn contributed to the growth of the younger generation of druids, and although it is not clear how much has changed within the religious system, it is certainly not less.

However, in any case, religion and occultism are limited to this world compared to the scientific system, and only science is now very much about stepping out of this planet and towards the end of the infinite unknown.

Sun Digui's theory of power system is actually an expanded and adapted theory of the homology of energy system, which can better explain the similarities and differences between different power systems across cultures and regions. Sun Dizhu not only thinks so, but also makes various attempts according to what he thinks is the correct interpretation. There may have been some luck, but Sun Digui succeeded, and through the study and understanding of different power systems, he actually embarked on a new path of training across systems. Sun Digui is powerful, but that doesn't mean his strength is perfect. Since he didn't pass the trials until he was 30 years old, he started exercising too late to break through the limits of his body to try Transfiguration in his life, but he had mastered a weapon far more powerful than Transfiguration.

"Teacher...... Are you saying that in fact, everyone can exercise across the system?" Zuo Lin was dizzy by Sun Digui's statement, and he vaguely felt that there were many problems and doubts in this theory, but he could not put forward any of them at the moment.
