Chapter 140: The Best Praise (First Update)
"What committee?"
"They generally refer to themselves only as members of the 'committee' and do not add a prefix."
Real name shook his head.
Judging by her vague description, her real name doesn't know much about this group.
Although I don't know the situation, the "committee" ...... Is it the "privileged class" of the future world?
Richard thought.
The rank of gods is undoubtedly the highest order in the Mayan world, and they are the most privileged class. The vast majority of members of churches and orders, in order to distinguish the object of their worship from the ordinary extraordinary, do not even use the word "rank" in favor of "person";
And since rank is synonymous with authority in this era, and there is some connection between the two, it is not surprising that the "forbidden access" privilege that once belonged to the committee will be extended to the realm of "divine power" by later generations.
Richard, however, knew what her real name meant: she was suspicious of the specific relationship that existed between the two groups.
"The existence of the committee, I am not very clear. Because the files about them are classified as top secret, I only occasionally hear from the staff: for example, the actions carried out by my organization are orders from a certain commissioner, but they are all at the level of 'hearsay', and no one knows if it is true or not. But if the existence of the gods really has anything to do with this group of people......"
"So, there's another thing."
Richard remembered the villain who had been pinched in Villeret's hand before.
"That guy who calls himself the 'Demon King' is very strange. You've said he's not a super AI like you, but you think he's self-aware; And he claims to be a spirit after the death of a demon king, does this mean that he was a human during his lifetime? Can this kind of thing really be done? ”
In fact, he has wanted to ask this question for a long time.
In the eyes of wizards, of course, this is not unusual, just like when Willett told her story, she did not take it seriously at all. This is because, in their view, people will have an out-of-body soul after death, and it is very likely that the spirit body is originally the soul of a person-
Although not everyone agrees with this view, the idea that "man has a soul" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no doubt that it is the truth of the world, and no one has ever doubted it.
This is a world where mysticism is rife, and there is nothing surprising about the fact that an extraordinary person of the Demon King rank can "continue to exist in spirit form after death". Some may be interested in the principles of psychic magic used in it, but no one will question the authenticity.
But Richard was different, he knew what the nature of the spirits wandering in another world was.
Therefore, when the three of them communicated just now, although Richard did not open his mouth to question it, he was full of doubts about the "existence" of the demon king Solo.
"That's what I'm trying to say, sir."
Miss Real Name has a solemn expression.
"Generally speaking, it is impossible. But I've heard before that one of the members of the committee has a well-established awareness upload technique. Although research in the relevant field is illegal according to the decision of the Scientific Ethics Committee, it is ......"
"Consciousness uploading" - Richard has heard of this term, which refers to a scientific conjecture that uploads the consciousness of the brain to a computer to achieve digital immortality of human beings. Transforming someone's brain consciousness into data and "uploading" it to the infinite, never-ending world of computer systems and networks......
It is a technology that breaks free from the shackles of the physical body and transforms man into a new form of life.
"If the Council's technology is still alive after 10,000 years, I am afraid that it will be possible to realize the 'magic' that allows people to continue to think and transform into 'spirits' after death."
She said.
When Richard heard this, he was speechless for a long time.

Viellet left the Great Temple and walked down the wide road at the crossroads. On the empty white stone road, the sky light is just right. In the distance, clouds swirled around the dark tower.
"Your Excellency Solo, do you understand what the teacher meant?"
The villain who was caught by the witch was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be trying to help you, using some kind of magic to allow you to bypass the limits of your magic and master the power of the Demon King...... While I don't know how he would do it, a legendary wizard wouldn't be out of his mouth. ”
“...... Is that really the case? ”
Willy nodded.
Her expression still looked incredible, but gradually, a beautiful smile appeared on the girl's face, far brighter than the sun in early spring at this moment.
"You don't think he's lying to you?"
Seeing Wellett's happy look, the Demon King always felt very unhappy, so he couldn't help but try to hit her with words again.
"Is there a reason for the teacher to do this?"
Willett asked with a smile.
This time, Solo couldn't taunt her anymore, because the witch wasn't right at all.
What the hell was the man named Rasputin thinking? Although Solo's personality has always been above the top, this time he has to admit that he seems to have really lost his eyes.
"What a strange guy, I thought you were strange enough, you would actually give up the 'divine power' at your fingertips to others, but I didn't expect your teacher to be even more eccentric, not only did he not accept this gift, but he also wanted to help you...... Could it be that times changed when I was locked inside? Is the 'legacy of the gods' already something that wizards don't look up to? ”
"I'm afraid it hasn't changed."
Violet shook her head. She knew what would happen to her if the news was revealed to someone other than the teacher.
"It's just...... Teacher, he's just special. ”
"I think so. After all, when I stayed in the spark furnace, someone came to disturb my dreams almost every few years, and it never stopped. The old man has been dead for two thousand years, but his legacy is still coveted by mortals. ”
The little red man jumped from the girl's palm to her shoulder and shrugged.
"In this way, you two are a good match."
"Thank you, Lord Solo."
"I'm not praising you, stupid witch. I have never forgiven you. ”
"But for me, that's the best compliment."
Speaking of which, the blonde witch remembered something. Once again, she pulled the little demon king who had just climbed up from her shoulders, grabbed it in her hands earnestly, and watched him.
"Your Excellency Zoro, you shouldn't reveal it to anyone else, right?"
"This king will not be as shameless as you, I will always keep my promise."
Solo snorted.
"What's more, this contract was made by the old guy himself, and if I break it, I'm afraid it will be destroyed under divine punishment......"
"Wait, you said you would be punished for divulging secrets? It doesn't seem fair. ”
Wellett frowned.
Before that, she had broken the contract without any punishment.
"Isn't the premise of the contract that both parties will be restricted? This kind of contract, which is unequal in terms of punishment mechanism, is theoretically unsignable......"
Witches had learned about "contracts" and "oaths". In a sense, it's a power that takes precedence over magic itself.
"Oh? You're starting to worry about me, you still have a little conscience. ”
The villain scoffed.
"I said I would only do what I wanted to do."
The witch's expression is still serious, with a "you won't let go if you don't tell me" expression.
"It's a secret...... However, for the sake of your teacher, let's reveal a little. ”
The corners of the Demon King's eyebrows were raised, and his lips were split to the sides, revealing his sharp teeth like a shark, and he smiled meaningfully.
- "There has never been true justice in this world for the gods. ”
