Chapter 877: Genealogy of the Gods

The eighteenth coming.

After finishing the day's explanation, Lin An left a crystal bottle containing no less than ten brown round pills, "I need to retreat once recently. ”

Angus held the crystal bottle that could be kept for a long time in his hand, and was not happy, "I remember when you opened up the second magic pool, just two years ago?" ”

"The third magic pool was already full before I entered here, and I've only been adjusting lately."

Lin An chuckled and left slowly.

Angus looked at her back, a dark color passing through his eyes.

As the metal door closes, the light disappears from the cell.

Darkness has fallen again.

……

The metal door opens silently, and the light comes on.

Lin An looked at Angus, who had lost at least a fifth of his weight during the days he had been imprisoned, and his cheeks had become noticeably sunken.

Angus also noticed Lin An's arrival at the moment when the light appeared, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he noticed the faint magic floating outside Lin An's body.

"It seems to be very smooth." As soon as he spoke, his voice was hoarse and dry.

"TOEFL," Lin An came to his senses, "I actually forgot to leave some water." She said, sending a bottle of water.

Angus slowly straightened up, picked up the water bottle, the urgency for the water did not show in his expression, he took a sip, moistened his lips that had already appeared deep blood, and then carefully took a few sips.

Through his movements, Lin An noticed that Angus's cuffs and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and he immediately knew what method he had used to replenish water in the past few days.

In fact, after eating pills, it can also produce a very small amount of water in the body, but it is far from enough for the normal consumption of the human body.

Lin An had already preset this when he left the pills.

Even if Angus didn't drink his own blood, he wouldn't die from lack of water, in fact, Lin An was a little surprised to see that Angus was still awake.

Angus is not alone in the prison, there is also a photo circle that records Angus's every move in the cage at any time.

Lin An knew very well that Angus also knew this, so he would never act rashly until he was fully sure that he would escape from the cage or be cornered.

This is a terrible person.

"Do you know how long it took me to open up the Dividing Demon Pool's retreat this time?"

Angus looked at her silently.

"It is said that if a magical hour is divided into 3,600 scales, then each scale is as different from the heart rate in a calm state, and if a person remains in a calm state and silently counts his heartbeat, he can accurately recognize the time even without the help of timekeeping tools and magic—"

"Forty-seven hours, two and a third quarter." Angus narrowed his eyes and hid the constriction in the depths of his pupils when he heard Lin An's assertion.

Smack!

Lin An gently stroked his palm.

"You've challenged me!"

She looked at Angus brightly, "There are not many living specimens that can satisfy my requirements and do not allow me to be morally bound without violating my principled nature." ”

Her eyes showed the kind of glare that a mage had in a state of study.

Angus was still smiling calmly.

Lin An did not stay in the prison for long, and left quickly to stabilize the state after opening up the fourth magic pool.

……

After a period of time, Lin An's arrival became unstable.

She is no longer stingy with the supply of food pills and clear water, and sometimes she knows that there are still a few food pills left from the last time, and she doesn't care about continuing to supply new food pills, so the way of determining the time with the supply of food pills has also been lost.

There was no day and night, no light, no sound, Angus even preferred to waste his strength dragging the chains on his limbs and listening to the sound they made as he dragged, and every time Lin An came, it was simply the happiest moment in his captivity.

For this reason, Angus even took the initiative to extend the content more deeply when explaining the divine art system, so as to arouse Lin An's interest and prolong the time together.

And this behavior was even unconscious at first, and it wasn't until after the explanation was over, that Lin An took out the real yàn log to record it, and Angus was suddenly surprised.

Lin An smiled at him meaningfully, as if to say: Look, the time to break the embankment of your heart is not far away......

And after that, Lin An continued to come irregularly as if nothing had happened, and the magic books and problems brought by him became deeper and deeper.

As a teacher who guides the introduction, with Angus's knowledge, it is easy to see Lin An's progress, she is indeed a beginner, and she is gradually at a pace that is never slow.

Just by the questions she asks in her notes each time she arrives, it can be seen whether she is really studying theology or is pretending.

For some purpose, Angus had almost no reservations when it came to teaching, and he answered whatever Lin An asked.

The two of them got along with each other in such a state of multiple identities, as if no one was aware of the abnormality.

Once again, the theological course is taught, this time on the division of the priesthood and the clergy system of the Holy See.

“…… The Holy See appeared in the period of the Demonic Calamity, and the initial way of preaching was a typical bottom-up approach, that is, to spread the faith from the bottom of the people.

Although after the Magic Dynasty broke off and the demons retreated to the Ice Plain, the faith of the Holy See has spread to every corner of the continent, and after the divine power was stabilized, it became a top-down way to control the abolition of the emperor and the granting of knighthood permissions, but at the very beginning, it was far more than the Holy See a religion that spread faith on the continent.

In order to spread the faith and rapidly expand its influence, the Holy See has repeatedly revised its doctrine and expanded the clergy system, including the gods that circulated among the people during the Magic Dynasty, so as to expand from the monotheistic religion at the beginning to the huge clerical system with the supreme gods as the main one, the five main gods under it, and more subordinate gods to the gods.

In this way, the Holy See brought some dissident people under the rule of the Holy See in the early days, so as to quickly gain the upper hand in religious wars and faithful contentions, suppress other religions, and annex the faith, and rise on the Muse Continent - "

"It feels strange to hear this history from the mouth of the Pope's own divine envoy," Lin An interrupted Angus's eloquent description, "If it weren't clear that you single-handedly destroyed the Holy See, I would have thought that the knowledgeable mage or historian was talking to me." ”

"I studied in a seminary, and the professors there could not have been anything else to do with it, but I also studied with a master prophet, and it has been proven that many of the truths hidden in history will be preserved by word of mouth, despite the deliberate destruction of books and the transformation of doctrines—"

Angus said calmly, "In fact, some methods cannot be placed under the judgment of history in an open and honest manner, but it is undeniable that in that era, the Holy See was indeed the biggest winner, in addition to their missionary methods, more important is the historical environment at that time. ”

"Fair judgment," Lin An folded his hands and placed them on a notebook spread out on his lap, "please continue." ”

Angus continued with an unchanged expression:

“…… As we all know, in the New Testament doctrine of the Holy See, in the genealogy of the gods named 'Ashnak', the supreme god of light is the creator god, the creator of all things in the plane of creation, and he is one with the sun and the god of radiant hope among the five main gods, Kryll, so the five main gods are also headed by Kryll, the god of sun and radiant hope......"

"It's a god, the Creator...... Hehe~"

While Lin An was recording his essays, there were more comments such as these in his notes from time to time:

[When the goddess of nature, Mimer, ruled the worlds, this so-called creator did not know where it was! 】

“…… Later, with the return of the elemental tides and the obstruction of the plane barriers, it became more and more difficult for the oracle to descend the material plane, so during the reign of the ninth Pope Rostanford I, the doctrine was revised to recognize the pope as the spokesman of the supreme god in the world, and from then on, the father God, the main god and the pope were one, and each pope could only be succeeded by a priest who believed in the supreme god, so that some of the early gods who were included in the genealogy of the gods of Ashnak were gradually excluded from the margins. ”

Lin An wrote again: [Okay, disgusting religious wars, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges or something, I understand...... It's disgusting enough to think of other gods. 】

“…… The five main gods under the supreme god are Kreel, the god of hope of the sun and radiance, the muse of the moon and darkness, Rafi, the god of sickness and natural life, Thor, the god of fire and chaos and killing, and Lecco, the god of fate and order.

From the perspective of theocracy, except for the Sun and the God of Radiant Hope, Krell, the other four main gods are all typical neutral gods - among them, Leko, the god of fate and order, is neutral, the other three main gods are inclined to chaos and goodness, and the god of the sun and radiant hope is a typical orderly and good ......"

"Not necessarily, at least as far as I've heard, the supreme god of the demon god Thor worshipped by the demon race should be the same as the god of flame and chaos killing among the five main gods, the root nature of the demon race is well known, and the exclusivity of the demon god Thor is extremely strong, and the teachings he spreads in the demon world have nothing to do with kindness."

This god of Thor is a typical chaotic camp that pursues the law of the jungle and the jungle, not only is it aggressive to the outside world, but the civil war of the demon race has never stopped-Kronos.

Lin An's understanding of the demon world, there are not many people in the human race who can surpass her, so Angus's statement can't confuse Lin An.

"'As far as I've heard'......"

Angus took the word in his throat and replied calmly and meaningfully:

"In doctrinal studies, many theologians do find that many deity doctrines are multifaceted, and theology classifies them as a phenomenon caused by the high gods having multiple theocracies."

[In other words, it's undisciplined...... Playing the creator in one plane, and playing the god of destruction in the other plane - hehe~~]

(To be continued)

Let everyone have an idea of the genealogy of the gods, which is a foreshadowing of the Demon Realm chapter.

Let's popularize science.

Regarding the camps, it is simply divided into nine camps: orderly and good, neutral and good, and chaotic and good; Order-neutral, absolute neutrality, chaotic neutrality; Orderly evil, neutral evil, chaotic evil (it can be seen from this that order and chaos are opposed, good and evil are opposed, and a neutral camp is added in the middle, and what it represents will not be described, because the text will not write too deeply in this regard, after all, there is no plot that rises to the level of high demons or even high gods.) )RS
