Chapter 135: Gao Wen's Perception Problem
For five minutes, Gawain didn't come to his senses.
When he came to his senses, he watched in a daze as the fragment of the Eternal Slate in front of him fell into a long state of sleep.
The huge amount of information echoed in his mind, and his mind was full of thoughts jumping up and down in his mind like a high amber, and Gawain felt that he had a thousand words blocked in his throat at this moment, but because it was too porcelain, he couldn't say a word......
Only one thing was certain: he had heard those things just now, and the slight vertigo caused by the "immersion" still had some remains, which made him very sure of it.
So that's what is recorded in the Eternal Slate? Is this all about the knowledge of the gods?
Gawain looked at the pale golden metal plate like a ghost, and couldn't help but shake his head as soon as this thought popped into his mind - no way, the mortal sages who originally founded the religion couldn't have heard these things in the eternal stone tablet, and after listening to these things, what kind of person with a hole in his brain would start a church for these gods who sounded like they had been killed!
Then he began to wonder if it was a nasty joke or some audacious hoax.
But what's the point of this joke? Who would do this kind of scam? Who would have concocted such content for what purpose? And most importantly - in such a primitive and backward medieval society, who can make up such a term as "heavy bomber"?!
Gawain frowned, pondering the meaning behind the message of the Eternal Slate, and wondered deeply if what normal believers were hearing from the Slate was the same.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind and beckoned to the outside of the tent, "Betty! Go and call Philip, Herty, and Amber. β
After a while, the three of them came to Gawain's tent.
Gawain looked at the three people in front of him, who were the most trustworthy and faithful people he knew of in his territory, and they could represent three different kinds of believers: Philip was a devout believer in the Cult of the God of War, and even baptized; Hetty is an official believer in the goddess of magic, but with a lesser degree of faith; Amber is a neurotic follower of the goddess of the night and the god of shadows.
Almost all three mental states of mortals after believing in God can be found in these people......
Gawain placed the shard of the Eternal Slab on the table and pushed it forward, "You know what this is. β
"Fragments of the Eternal Slab," Amber said rightly, "I watched you carry this thing in your arms. β
Because Hetty was not present at the time, she looked at the pale golden metal plate curiously at this time, but she had also learned about the Eternal Slate Fragment from Gawain before, so she was not surprised at this time, but looked at her ancestor curiously, not knowing what Gawain wanted to do.
"You make contact with it," Gawain nodded, "touch it with your psychic powersβPhilip, you come first." β
Gawain was not worried about the harm of the "slate", because he had already tried it himself, except for some terrifying information records, it would not have long-term effects on the body, and even if the three of them would really hear the knowledge of the gods when they came into contact with the fragment, because this fragment was small, it would not have brainwashed the three of them into some fanatics - otherwise the kings, nobles, and merchants who used the slate fragments as collectibles would have all become fanatics.
Philip looked surprised and hesitant: "Your Excellency, ...... Are you really sure? Want to give me this opportunity? β
"I'm sure, but I have something to warn you about," Gawain nodded, "and stay calm no matter what you hear or see when you come into contact with the shards, even if you hear things that are contrary to your beliefs...... Don't get too excited, because this thing might be fake. β
He first took a precautionary shot to prevent the devout Knight Philip from collapsing when he heard something he shouldn't have heard, while Philip approached the slate and asked curiously, "Could it be fake?" β
"Maybe, you can try it first."
Knight Philip nodded, placed his hand on the shard, and drove his psychic power to make an attempt to connect with the shard.
Almost immediately, Gawain felt a subtle change in the aura of the young knight, a vast, ancient and mysterious power seemed to envelop him, making his whole person "sublimated", but this aura may actually be just an illusion, because Gawain did not feel any change in Philip's own power, and the strange aura only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared.
After a moment, Knight Philip opened his eyes, he glanced at the slate fragments with an expression of surprise and excitement, and then retreated slightly, with joy on his face: "My lord, I seem to hear the voice of the god of war, there is a ...... An indescribable sense of enlightenment and revelation came flooding over me, and I felt as if I had received some kind of blessing that might be of great help to my martial arts in the future! β
Gawain raised his eyebrows: "That's all?" β
"Yes, it's a hard feeling to describe," Knight Philip nodded calmly, and then asked curiously, "but what you said you just said might be false, my lord...... Am I delusional? β
"I just said it might be fake, but judging by your reaction, nine times out of ten, it's the real thing," Gawain changed his mood, but didn't show his expression, just looked at Hetty, "You come and try it." β
Hetty nodded, and stepped forward as well, placing her hand on the shards of the Eternal Slab.
This time, Gawain also felt a subtle change in Hetty's aura, but this change was more slight and shorter, and Hetty also opened his eyes faster: "Ancestor, I feel as if I have glimpsed some mysteries of magic, and I also have a vague sense of enlightenment, but it is not as obvious and profound as Philip Knight said. And I don't know if it's an illusion, this slate seems to be repelling my ...... Contact, I was just about to use that sense of enlightenment to contemplate a certain spell model, when the power of the slate shard suddenly disappeared, and there seemed to be a voice telling me to avoid further contact with it......"
"Actively avoid?" Gao Wen repeated in surprise, and suddenly felt that the situation was a little more complicated.
Is the goddess of magic any different from other gods? Isn't her inheritance through the Eternal Slate?
While thinking, he turned his gaze to Amber, and before he could speak, Miss Half-Elf couldn't wait to come up: "Hey, it's my turn, it's my turn!" Look at what you guys are saying so mysteriously, is this thing really that powerful? β
Before she could finish speaking, she pressed her hand to the surface of the shard, and then closed her eyes and began to connect with the metal plate.
After a while, her brows furrowed, her hands became more and more intense, her face turned red, and even the table shook slightly. β
"No response!" Amber opened her eyes suddenly, and took her hand away in frustration, "I've used my mental power!" But there was no reaction at all, nothing was heard or felt...... Anyway, you two are acting to deceive the two of us, right? β
Knight Philip: "How so! You can feel a very clear enlightenment! β
Hetty also frowned: "I feel it too, although it's very faint......"
Amber looked at the two people in front of him suspiciously, and then at the metal plate on the table: "Could it be that this thing has limited energy?" One contact weakens once, so you two feel weaker and weaker, and I don't react anymore? β
Gawain immediately felt that what the girl said made sense, so he asked Knight Philip to try again on the spot, but it turned out to be exactly what Amber had guessed: Knight Philip was once again enveloped in that wonderful aura, and Gawain even suspected that he would become an immortal if he came into contact with the shard shards for a while......
"It seems that Amber you really can't resonate with the slate," Gawain shook his head, "Maybe it has something to do with the devotion of the faith, Philip is a devout believer, Hetty is a layman, and you are a nervous ...... Shallow believers, that's probably why. Are you really a believer in the God of Shadows? β
"Yes! How not! Amber's eyes suddenly puffed out, as if she was very dissatisfied with Gawain's questioning, "I've believed in goddesses for more than ten years, okay?" Let me tell you, although I have not been baptized or entered the church, I have prayed well when I remember it, and the goddess has talked to me several times......"
Hetit looked Amber up and down questioningly, "Are you sure you're really not hallucinating from drinking too much of the Shadow Potion?" β
Amber suddenly jumped to her feet: "Don't think that you can talk nonsense because you have big breasts!" β
"Ahem, can you two quarrel without meeting, and quarrel so much every time," Gawain interrupted the two of them with a headache and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I don't have anything else to do, you guys go back to your own business first, I still have to think about it." β
Puzzled, the three left the tent, leaving Gawain looking at the shards on the table in deep thought.
According to the reaction of the three Philip, this slate fragment is probably real.
However, what they heard when they touched the slate was completely different from what they heard!
And this is not the first time that this "difference" has been.
The high-ranking goddess official Sandy last time was a fairly normal human in the eyes of others, but in Gawain's eyes, she was a translucent image that glowed all over her body.
This time, the fragment of the eternal slate, after others came into contact with it, they felt that they had heard the knowledge of the gods, but in Gawain's mind, what reverberated was a group of forces suspected of being the Zenith Star Fleet. Flip through the communication records of the entire divine realm.
Gawain couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Could it be that as long as "gods" are involved, their perception will reflect something different from ordinary people? What you see and hear...... Is it the truth, or is it an illusion?
