Apparently, Milmina didn't believe in what Amonen claimed to be a "very intense psychological struggle" - in fact, she didn't even believe Gawain, who had just arrived next to her.

This "god of nature" will at least have to wait for Gawain to finish his words before selling people to be somewhat convincing......

However, Gawain did not intend to participate in the daily pastimes of the two former gods after they retired, he only coughed lightly to draw the attention of Amon and Mirmina, and then said as he pondered his words, "As you must have guessed, these devices here...... It's not exactly for connecting to the magic web. ”

"Of course," Mirmina chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm and nonchalance, "you let me come out to see you as soon as you came here, how could we not have thought that there were some 'little secrets' hidden in these magic devices?" In fact, I found out before you came...... The functions of these devices are very complex, and a single Magic Net terminal cannot use such large-scale auxiliary equipment. ”

Gawain was not surprised or embarrassed by this, he just smiled and said to himself: "Can't you really hide the goddess who once held the power of magic......

"Frankly, we don't mind much about that," Amorn's voice said, "it's an experiment, right?" ”

"That's right, and this is a long-planned project, and we were preparing for this experiment before you offered to have a Magic Web terminal to understand what's going on in the world - your request just happened to give us a good entry point," Gawain said calmly looking Amone in the eye, "I'm sorry, due to the strict requirements of the trial process, the first phase of it had to be kept secret, and we have something to hide from you." ”

"Sure enough, it's about the same as I guessed...... You're avoiding distractions in the process of observation," said Mirmina calmly, her gaze falling on Gawain, "and now that you're here and you've told everything, that means...... Is that 'Phase 1' over? ”

Gawain smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes, the first stage has been successfully completed, we have confirmed the effect of the 'anti-divine barrier' without any interference, and the test subjects - that is, you - have not been disturbed or implied to guide without any interference, although this technology is still immature, but I think we have mastered some kind of effective means of shielding the gods, which can be used to isolate the divine pollution and weaken the connection between the gods and the institutions, and this 'barrier' is controllable." ”

His expression was calm, and his tone remained calm, but the huge amount of information surging in these words still instantly touched Amone and Mirmina, as if a silent thunderbolt suddenly exploded in this dim and vast shadow realm, and the two former gods were silent for the next ten seconds, until Ammon was the first to break the silence: "That is? Can you safely 'loose' the gods and mortals? ”

"Is it too early to say this? " Gawain shook his head, "The technology we currently have has a lot of limitations? Can it only be used as a 'shield'? Have you noticed the crystals around you? They are the conduction devices of the anti-divine barrier, which can be used to protect the mortals within the barrier? It can also be used to isolate gods, so if you want to use this thing to 'loosen' other gods? Do you have to send them to the kingdom of God? Then let the gods of the kingdom of God obediently cooperate in the shielded area...... We can't do that at this stage. Another idea, of course, is to cover the entire mortal world with such a device...... But apparently it can't be done either. ”

"You've at least taken a big step...... A bigger step than we did," Mirmina said with a sigh of sigh, as if taking a soft breath? "So what's next? Step 2: What are you going to do? And what do we need to do? ”

Gawain looked at the two former gods in front of him? He didn't answer Mirmina's question directly, but suddenly changed the subject: "Now that you have the Magic Net Terminal...... You must have been paying attention to the major changes in the mortal world lately, right? As you should know, the mortal nations now form a vast 'alliance,' and I have established a theocratic council within the framework of this alliance......"

"I've been paying attention," Ammon's voice echoed directly in Gawain's mind? "I don't pay much attention to this one next to me - but let's be kind of informed."

"Your addition is superfluous," Milmina's gaze swept over Amon? It fell on Gawain again, "We know about the Theocratic Council? It's just very limited – but we can probably guess what it was built for. Are you ready to do something about the 'chains' between mortals and gods? This is no small matter...... It looks like you're even going to drag the whole world into this vortex. ”

"The world is already in a whirlpool? I just wanted to pull it out. Gawain said calmly? And then he paused? As if he was thinking hard and deliberating, after a short period of consideration, he finally let his expression calm down, and broke the silence in an extremely serious tone, "Some thoughts about the Theocratic Council and me......

For the next ten minutes, he laid out the general situation of the Theocratic Council and his own plans, and he had little reservations in front of the two former gods.

Because the time is ripe - so much preparation has been done, and it is time for this huge tank to be launched, and it is not only the mortals themselves who are firmly tied to this tank.

“…… The Theocratic Council is a long-term, normalized means of control, which not only needs to find a way to solve the current shackles of gods and men, but also to find ways to avoid the creation of new shackles in the future......

"We have gained some experience in the process of transforming the Church of the Light, and now Cecil has begun to gradually spread these experiences to other churches in the country, and I plan to extend them to the entire mortal world in the future......

“…… Since the birth and operation of the gods are based on the natural laws of this world, through the analysis of the natural laws, it is inevitable to find ways to interfere with and even control this process, just as humans in ancient times learned from natural phenomena the means of making flames and processing tools. This is at the heart of the whole project: to find ways to 'loosen' the gods by analyzing the principles behind them, and at the same time, the process of 'unraveling' them will continue to weaken the chains and reduce the blindness of mortals to the gods. It's a process of confrontation and cooperation — and it's a much milder and more benign confrontation than the brutal god-killing wars. ”

The process of narration was long but short, and Gawain's voice finally fell—the terminal of the magic net not far away had been casually turned off by Mirmina at some point, and the shadow courtyard was quiet, so quiet that it seemed that the sound of a heart beating could be heard.

In this long silence, Gawain stood for a long time in front of a giant deer like a hill and a lady like a bell tower, and Mirmina looked at this scene, and suddenly felt that this moment seemed to cross time and space, as if projected on the long and sinking historical picture scroll of this world, in that chaotic and dim picture scroll, soaked in blood, flames, bones and hollow echoes, many figures who had been active in this history have fallen in the dust, but now suddenly someone stood up from the earth, Standing in this "courtyard", which symbolizes the disobedient spirit of ancient mortals, something different emerges behind its figure...... It was a season of mortals trying to get up, and a season of gods trying to break out.

For the first time, God and man had an open and honest conversation and conspiracy, and did such a thing happen in past seasons of civilization?

"We've understood your plan," Ammon was the first to break the silence, "so what do you want us to do?" ”

"This is a chariot, and there are not only mortals on the chariot," Gawain said calmly, "The Theocratic Council is an organization formed by mortal nations, but in fact there are still some special ...... 'seats' behind this Council, which are reserved for the gods. ”

"Are you still planning to bring the gods into this council......" Mirmina's tone rose up, but it was more like an exclamation than a surprise, "Very well, so where are we seated?" ”

Gawain immediately replied: "All the parts - I want you to become special advisors to the Theocratic Council, from the Theological Institute to the Arbitral Tribunal, from the Planning Department to the Countermeasures Department, you have the opportunity to play a role, and the most important of them is to participate in the construction of the Theological Institute and the large think tank under the Institute, and to complete the most complex research work in the whole program with our technicians." ”

Mirmina chuckled suddenly: "Is the main job to be studied?" ”

Gawain calmly met the gaze of the "goddess of magic", it was a joke, but it was not a joke either: "Yes, it is studied." ”

"Sounds pretty good." Mirmina was silent for a moment before she whispered as if talking to herself, and then she lowered her eyes and looked at Amon, who was silent, "What about you?" Not going to say something? ”

"It's really a boring thing to do all day," said Amone, the glow of holiness flowing around his body, "'Advisor'...... I haven't done it, but I can give it a try. ”

"Very well, then now the Theocratic Council has welcomed two special 'members'," Gawain finally exhaled softly, he showed a heartfelt smile, and then his gaze moved to the Magic Net Terminal that was on standby not far away, "Then I will arrange for Naritiel's side to unblock the network of this Magic Net Terminal...... It will open up some new features to prepare us for our next move. ”

Mirmina reacted immediately: "You mean...... That neural network? What's next, you're going to put us in contact with the outside world?! ”

"Indirect contact," Gawain reminded, "we're going to set up a restricted, controllable security network, all connections are protected by an anti-god barrier, and all incoming and outgoing data will be detected and filtered by Naritiel first, but it won't really matter how effective you are - you'll actually be exposed to the outside world, you can hear outside news, you can send things to the outside world, you can even hide your identity and move around in the Dream City, and you can communicate with certain users...... It's just that it's all built within a tight security framework. ”

"Ah, I've been looking forward to this for a long time," Mirmina couldn't help but have a hint of pleasure in her tone, "the 'magic web' you have created and the neural network built on it are wonderful things, and I still remember the novelty and excitement it brought me...... Unfortunately, my first experience with the Internet was not so pleasant, but fortunately now I have the opportunity to make up for it......"

When Gawain heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Mirmina and reminded the other party: "Then you also have to pay attention to proportion, Naretil is the general administrator of the entire neural network, and her job is not only to expel the gods who break into the network, but also to ban and kick users who violate the usage agreement......"

Mirmina quickly cooled down from the expectation of the magic net, and only then did she remember to ask: "By the way, I heard you mention this name just now, and this Naretil you said ......"

"The eight-legged one."

Mirmina immediately fell silent, and Amone, who was on the side, finally found a chance to speak: "You just mentioned that you want to put an extra set of magic web terminals here......

"Of course, I remember," Gawain said with a smile, "that the new equipment will arrive soon." ”

The atmosphere in the courtyard of disobedience became harmonious and pleasant—perhaps even one of the few pleasant moments for Amon and Mirmina in thousands of years or more. The two former gods, who had left the throne, were discussing the matter of neural networks and the Theocracy Council, looking forward to everything in the future, while Gawain suddenly coughed lightly after a few brief words and looked in the direction of Amone: "Also, there is something I want to tell you. ”

Ammon was in a very good mood at the moment, not in three thousand years, and he responded very happily: "What's the matter? ”

"I arranged a meeting for you," Gawain said, "and it's an important part of pushing the theocratic council to work." ”

"A meeting?" Amone's tone was puzzled, "With whom?" Have you dug up the technicians of the Disobedient Project from some ancient ruin or the ruins of the Order? ”

Ammon's statement immediately made Gawain cough twice, and he wanted to say that it sounded like Veronica/Ophelia wrapped in oiled paper dug out of the sewers of the Gondor Empire - but unfortunately, no one in this world could understand this level of stalks, so he could only hold the complaint to death in his heart, and his face was forced to be serious: "It's the Empress of the Silver Elves, Belsetia Morningstar." ”

The entire courtyard of disobedience fell silent in an instant.

It was a full half minute before Ammon's exclamation sounded in Gawain's head: "Who are you talking about?!" ”

Gawain repeated it solemnly: "Silver Empress, Belsetia Morningstar. ”

"I hear you, I hear you — but are you serious?" Amon's gaze became very serious, staring at Gawain, "I can't reconnect with the Silver Elf society, especially ...... The Silver Empress. Do you know what the Silver Queen means? She symbolizes the supreme leader of the Druids, is the priestess of the god of nature, and you make her ......"

"She doesn't believe in you." Gao Wen said quietly.
