Chapter 26: Gods and Lies
The other three wizards first looked at him casually, and found that it was just a low-level little wizard, so they didn't care, just ignored him indifferently as if they were treating air.
When their eyes swept over Great Wizard Chen, and found the faint powerful mana fluctuations on his body, they thought that some high-level Great Wizard from another continent had come to visit the Academy, so they immediately stood up directly, lowered their heads slightly, stroked their foreheads with their fingertips, and performed a respectful etiquette compared to their own high-level wizards.
Chen Xuyuan also nodded with a light smile and didn't say anything.
I saw that Andrew had a simple appearance, introverted eyes, and indeed had a dedicated face engaged in scientific research, coupled with a well-trimmed and clean chin, he had a bit of a polite feeling.
But above his soul, there was a faint trace of gray and black evil qi entangled, quite similar to the mad person, and the other three also had such a chaotic energy field.
But their eyes are normal, and they are not crazy people at all. Could it be that it was invaded by some external force?
Chen Xuyuan was about to inform and ask the other party, but suddenly thought that he was an outsider, who knows what privacy issues, interest entanglements, or non-grievances are involved between the wizards here?
Don't mix with yourself as an outsider.
Maybe they're just working on some strange spell!
Since they were in the academy, and the powerful wizard professors who occasionally passed by didn't express any surprise, then why did they make a fuss about it?
So he continued to walk inward with Vasily, rows of thick wooden bookshelves passing by, how much knowledge and civilization were hidden here.
Chen Xuyuan looked around at the books of different sizes on the shelves, all of them were properly wrapped in gold, silver, copper, iron, cow and sheep skins, and even magical animal skins, and the colors on them were either hot stamping or dark blue, or flame red or dark inscriptions, each of which flashed with a faint [Repel Pests] spell fluctuation book.
His sigh grew worse and worse.
That's about the ocean of knowledge.
So many books also represent how rich the exploration of the universe itself is by the people of this world, who look at the phenomena of the creation of the universe from their own perspectives, and study the secrets of these precious truths in a way that is very different from that of the earth.
Constantly contemplating the meaning of one's existence in the world is a stark symbol of the vitality of intelligent life itself!
It's just that their methods of exploration are applied crudely, and they are full of differences between portals and factions, and they are biased and arrogant in their thinking, so just like the Buddhism and Taoism on the earth, not only are the results limited, but in the end they have become ignorant and superstitious means of accumulating money, and have lost the possibility of becoming a means of exploring the truth in a wide range of categories similar to the way of science.
The continuous pursuit of profit and force by the civilization of this world has promoted the diligent research of spell casters, and the special explicit magical power of spell is incomparable to the earth civilization.
These bookshelves seemed to have no end, and they didn't know how long they walked before they came to a [Divine Research] classified bookshelf area.
Chen Xuyuan carefully searched for the title of the book on it, and he picked up a book as thick as an engraved stone tablet and flipped through it, searching meticulously.
He was thinking about it, but Vasily pointed to the words in a book and said, "I found it, Master Chen, look here." “
Chen Xuyuan said casually with great joy: "Hurry up and show me~!"
When he took the book, he was very disappointed, it only briefly recorded the research process of some magic arts, rather than using witchcraft to simulate the specific results of magic magic, and there was no fundamental constructive benefit for the in-depth study of the nature of magic analysis.
However, on the last few pages above, there is a reprinted rumor: according to my research, I found that the relationship between gods and mortal things is far closer than ordinary people think. Through long-term follow-up investigations, the tendencies of lies, public opinion, and wars can affect the tidal fluctuations of the Force Sea of Faith, and indirectly affect the ascension and fall of the True God Rank.
Just as the supply and demand of commodities affect market prices, they can also be manipulated by businessmen.
So can we guess that certain forces pass through the strong and blind desires of the population.
The original gods were created under the manipulation behind the scenes, and their thoughts and actions ~ are by no means as sacred and glorious as they seem, after all, the interests of believers are closely related to their interests, but the truth of history has long been eliminated from the long river of time by their divine power......
At the end of this rumor, someone wrote a seemingly extreme comment in the margin: never believe the promises of the rulers, they always write high-sounding things on paper, and say one set of incendiary things to people, but in reality they do another, and maybe do some soul-selling transactions behind the scenes, in exchange for capital and power to support him in his quest for power.
When they talk to you about survival, you just have to sell your labor. When they talk to you about ideals, they are often thinking about your soul.
......
Some of these examples and arguments are so bold and spicy that one wonders if there is anyone who is not afraid of death and dares to comment on the gods at will.
Chen Xuyuan looked at the author's annotation, and it actually read: Reprinted from "Manipulated History and Truth - 500 Lies of Rulers"!
He pointed to the book and asked helplessly: "You don't have much dry goods looking for, it can only be regarded as a summary of gossip and gossip that the gods have a little relationship with!"
Vasily shrugged his shoulders and said: "Eighty percent of the books that can be collected here have been identified by scholars and have certain novel thinking and reference value, otherwise they would not have been put here." But even more famous is this writer, because all his writings were boycotted and destroyed by churches and countries on other continents, and he was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for permanence. “
He said mysteriously: "Those churches and the royal government jointly claim that what Stephen Zhou wrote was written by him after he was possessed by a demon. And he himself had a nervous breakdown after finishing the book and became a complete lunatic. But word came that Stephen Chow still shouted every day during his lifetime: 'This world is full of lies and deception.' 'And what' others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it.' Crazy words like that. ”
Chen Xuyuan originally felt more interesting, but after hearing this, he thought about it calmly, judging from the strange situation he encountered at the border before, maybe there were really some god forces manipulating something behind his back!
Now thinking of that kind of weird scene with no logic makes him shudder!
Vasily next to him leaned over and whispered, "Master Chen, are we still looking for research materials on divine arts?"
"Go on, of course go on. We're going to soak here today, so let's pass the time as a clubbing. Chen Xuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a solemn tone.
