Chapter 1138: Substitute Class (16)

"This is only a preliminary conclusion calculated according to the formula, but only one of the possibilities," Leo said, "and don't forget, some religions also say that the world will be destroyed in thousands or tens of thousands of years, compared to the heat death at least hundreds of billions of years, so what's the hurry?" ”

"It's not a matter of urgency, it's a misunderstanding of this kind of thinking," I said, "it's like the population data map of China, which does grow very quickly according to a simple formula, but ignores economic and cultural factors, and similarly, the formula for calculating the singularity and the end point of the universe is just a simple reasoning, and I am worried about the possibility of error, and how many possibilities there are, such as heat death in advance, and what if it is integrated with religious eschatological theory?" After all, you also said that if the earth gods really existed, and they also had ether and telekinesis, everything would make sense. ”

"Well, you're talking about Mayan prophecy?" Leo said, "But the problem is that we have already passed it ourselves, and as for the thousands of years or tens of thousands of years of doomsday prophecies of other religions, according to the speed of scientific development, even if we can't escape it, we should be able to calculate it and prepare for it...... Well, aren't we talking about witchers? ”

"Well, sorcerers, curses and prophecies, witches and witch doctors, and lichs are actually involved," I said, "and there are all the words 'witch' in the Chinese language, and there are similar roots in our world languages, which means that these things have a long enough history." ”

"The most simple point of view is that primitive humans, or intelligent creatures, are full of curiosity and fear of everything around them, so they will regard everything in nature as gods with souls, and the person responsible for communicating with them is shamans and shamans, that is, animistic worship, which is the origin of shamans and shamans, and later with the improvement of cognition, the size of the social population grew, and shamans gradually evolved into priestly clergy who were specifically responsible for sacrifices, at this time, the objects of animistic worship narrowed, and some things were no longer worshipped, Others are worshiped more, there is a rudimentary form of gods, there is pantheism, or polytheistic worship, such as Northern Europe, Greece and Egypt, including China, and many times it is not the same belief system after the fusion brings different gods, and finally forms polytheistic worship, people also rank these gods, now your humans, orcs and elves are basically like this, and on the earth, pantheism exists for a long time, and then there is a more advanced monotheistic worship, that is, an omniscient and omnipotent god, This is more convenient for the earthlings to manage, to complete large-scale cooperation, I guess, the gods of your world are now impressable, for the time being, peaceful coexistence, but in the end there will be a winner, this guy will have the power of all faith alone, as for us, will be the fuse of this matter, even the terminator......"

"It's off topic again...... I smiled wryly, "but it comes to the main plot again." ”

"Perhaps," said Leo, "we may have to kill the one and only god, no matter what his faction is, but the problem is that we must not touch the power of faith, or we will become part of the system, and we will appear to have supreme power, but in fact we will be completely restricted." ”

"What's it called? Spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao...... "I said.

"In the book?" Leo said.

"Well, that's what several books say...... The name is different. I said, "For example, what Hongjun Ancestor means." ”

"Well, that's a good summary." Leo said, "The problem is, we haven't found the threshold for our way to becoming gods!" ”

"Let's put it first!" I said, "Back to the wizards!" ”

"Yes, yes, say wizard!" Leo said, "In ancient times, well, the difficulty of cultivation was low, and the laws of time and space were played casually, and then the laws were stabilized, and wizards declined, except for orcs, there were few other races with this profession, and magicians and clergy rose with it, so, combined with our previous speculation, the gods were not intelligent creatures who created the main plane, but outsiders, and made biochemical transformations, accepted as their own believers, and harvested the power of faith!" ”

"What a conspiracy." I say.

"Well, it's all written in the books, it's very likely." Leo said.

"What about the wizard?" I say.

"Isn't that all? Solid laws, declining professions, what else? Leo said, "It's more mysterious and terrifying than a magician, and it's a little sinister, but it's not a threat, is it?" ”

"Once brilliant......" I smipped the word, "is it like the former China?" ”

"It's different," said Leo, "the revival of China is a matter of time, but it has been delayed for more than a hundred years without adapting to the new international rules of the game, and the wizarding profession is a change in the laws of heaven and earth, just as ancient China was a slave society, and it is impossible for contemporary China to restore such a system." ”

"In other words, the wizard's disappearance is a matter of time?" I say.

"It is a pity, so to speak," said Leo, "that there are still wizards in contemporary China, but they are all ignorant and even illegal, and sometimes they are dressed as clergy or even scientists......

"I see," I said, "but now, the wizard has not completely declined, and we need to be on guard and know our opponents." ”

"Of course," Leo said, "I also keep the wizard's notes left by Zhao Ritian, and find a chance to meet a suitable wizard to study it, by the way, the great wizard who tried to recruit Zhao Ritian is a good target, and I have time to take a look." ”

"Anyway, we haven't touched the main line yet." I say.

"That means we're ahead of the story." Leo said.

"Then you'll have to find the key to triggering the task yourself." I say.

"Tell me about your thoughts." Leo said.

"Naturally, it's about collecting information about dragons on the human side," I said, "Oh yes, you mean, the elves too?" ”

"Well, that's the safest way to go, but I've got a spare." Leo said.

"Let's just say it this time, I'm tired of playing," I said, "don't sell it!" ”

"Look at your anxious ......" Leo smiled, "I'm really not afraid to tell you this time, it's actually what Taling and Xipiyu are doing......"

"Deciphering the coordinate system?" My heart moved, and I immediately came back to my senses, "Being able to contact him Ta Ling means that the coordinate point has been found, so it will not be a problem to find the teleportation point of the Dragon Realm!" ”

"By the way," said Leo, "kills two birds with one stone, doesn't it?" ”

"I know I've thought of the first layer...... "I'm a little ashamed.

"By the way," Leo said, "with information on humans and elves, it's easier to find, isn't it?" ”

"Well, then we'll see if we can figure it out in a few days." I say.

"It's a certain calculation, it depends on how much time it takes." Leo said, "The current computing power of Taling and Xipiyou is still too low, and it is placed on the earth, that is, the level of more than a dozen bitcoin mining machines. ”

After a casual conversation that was neither serious nor easy, we summarized the characteristics and trends of the wizarding profession, and had a general judgment on the next plot, however, we also know that the plot often does not develop according to our wishes, I couldn't see through it before, Leo could barely guess some, and now we are both at the same level, and we still can't make up our minds, and we can only prepare accordingly, in the end, it still depends on the ability to react on the spot.

Shadowless Gillette trained the newcomers to exhaustion, with servants watching from the side, the newcomers practiced harder, but after all, they had not yet awakened, and the training could only achieve barely visible results with the naked eye, but this was enough to shock the seven servants - the weakest goblin Saloch could easily kill the seven of them, especially the skinny werewolf, in front of his own kind, he was simply embarrassed.

After nightfall, the servants were easily sleepy and went to bed before ten o'clock, but the newcomers still trained until eleven o'clock, and did not go to sleep until they had washed up.

In the middle of the night, Shadowless Gillette did the same trick again, but this time instead of splashing water, he threw sand.

The newcomer went through several tosses in the middle of the night until dawn.

This night, they made a fuss about them, but there was no movement on my side, as if there was no other action except for a wizard of unknown origin who wanted to coerce a few ordinary orcs into poisoning.

After dawn, the newcomers continued to go out of the city for trials, and Shadowless Gillette and I continued to shop, and there was not much change on the streets, and the orderlies seemed to be accustomed to daily patrols without the assistance of the Taling.

Business at the "New Aristocratic Life" store was booming, and Gillette had not yet decided to buy it, so he asked my opinion, and I only said, "This is a daily necessities that everyone will not be able to live without in the future." ”

He didn't go to the grocery store of the troll Waga again, but continued to take on tasks, purchase supplies, and then continue to wander around, and after he came back, he continued to practice the cat clan's secret method "Hazy Technique", and his strength also increased.

Three days passed without incident, that is, the fifth day after Ta Ling and Xi Piyu began to calculate the task, and there was no movement from the Mage Tower.

This made me a little anxious, and Leo comforted me: "You have to be calm, the boss behind the scenes should be ......"

"Of course I have to hold my breath, otherwise I would have been in a hurry."

At this time, the Five Rangers also returned.

They completed a series of tasks, returned with a full load, and handed the glass box back in its entirety.

In the city, glass is still a luxury, but the vanity mirrors in the "New Aristocratic Life" store are an exception, of course, in order to balance the market and prevent the outflow of glass mirrors, which are made small, but for most citizens, they are the cheapest luxury.

The Five Ranger buried daily necessities for the newlyweds and servants, and also buried a dresser for the buddies, and used the mirror as the most precious ornament in the residence.
