Chapter 90: The Truth

"When you look at the world with pride, do you really never think that it is the world that has made you what you are now?"

Magellan smiled, he shook his head and didn't say anything. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You don't seem to recognize one thing, mortal," Isis put down his hand covering the wound on his chest, "everything that happened to me has nothing to do with you, you just got a chance to fall into a hole in a disaster." ”

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the gods fought the great beasts and slaughtered the towering savage creatures, and after each battle, a group of scavengers gathered to stand on the corpses of the dead beasts......"

"That's what you're doing right now, mortal. ”

Magellan just smiled, then turned to look at the Count who was standing in front of Thoth.

Isis didn't speak anymore either, she was completely absorbed by what was happening to Thoth.

"Science gives me life......

The Count's hands radiated a pure white light, and under this white light, Thoth's body stopped crumbling, and even began to recover.

"It's not the world that has made me what I am now, and besides, I haven't fallen into the trap," Magellan struggled to hold on under the weight of the omnipresent divine power, but still managed to squeeze out a little strength to speak to the goddess, "Actually, we are just trying to resurrect Thoth, and you are the one who suddenly appeared and started attacking without saying a word, Isis." ”

"This is a matter between me and Thoth, mortal. Isis withdrew her gaze, she didn't need to look to ascertain the slightest change in Thoth, "The biggest mistake you made was to stand among the gods. ”

"If you can answer one of my questions, there will be no more contradictions between us......"

"Are you telling jokes, mortal?"

Isis rudely interrupted Magellan: "All the secrets of this world have a price. ”

Magellan was silent for a moment: "That's true. ”

Then the countess suddenly laughed: "I wonder if I should tell you, even if you really ask that question, the goddess will not know the answer." ”

"What?"

Magellan showed real surprise, he really didn't know anything about the problem, and he didn't even think about it.

"Actually," the countess paused deliberately, then glanced at Isis, who was silent, "the goddess Isis does not belong to the older of the gods, she is very young. As for Thoth, as a recorder, he probably has existed since the day the world was born. ”

The goddess smiled disdainfully.

"You have never seen a god born out of the universe, and to talk about his age in front of a god, mortal, even to describe you as stupid is too polite. ”

"Of course you would think that you are exactly the same age as the other gods, and for thousands of years after their birth, the gods of Emenkai have only followed their tribe through the desert and have never seen any other ...... of their kind."

"That's history in the eyes of mortals, and of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's surprisingly superficial and short-sighted. ”

"As an immortal god, you can say that, of course, but a mortal only has a 1 in 10,000 chance to know what happened in ancient times, such as the flood that reshaped the entire world. ”

Isis's face did change, and just as the countess had expected, a subtle emotion appeared in the goddess's expression.

It looked very strange, because there was a familiar and tearing combination in the expression.

"You know it's almost enough to tear the sanity of a mortal, and I think your luck must be very bad, and it's the kind that there is only one of countless mortals in a long and thousands of years. ”

"The truth is, it is not," the countess seemed to be irritated by the goddess's conclusion, and she showed her reserved disdain, but not directly obnoxious, "in fact, quite the opposite. I was very fortunate to have received a systematic education, and in particular, with the help of several teachers, I retained the very important desire to explore the truth, and I chose this question as my research direction because of pure interest. ”

"You're justifying yourself with rules that have been self-contained but unnecessary for a long time by mortals, and the truth is, in the face of true wisdom, it all looks ridiculous. ”

To Magellan's great surprise, things seemed to be moving in a direction that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

"A monk once discovered in ecstasy that it was not the sun that rose in the east and set in the west, but that the earth was revolving around the sun, and he was later sunburned to death in the desert. At least in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with that, and in reality, he really is. Yes, as long as the trajectory of the sun is concentrated at one point, the trajectory of the earth becomes a circle. The monk was put to death, not because he had different ideas or because he thought he was ambitious, but because he had mistaken sophistry for wisdom, which was truly hopelessly stupid. ”

"I've never said I'm after truth, or true wisdom, or anything like that. The countess's smile did not change, "I just want to know what happened, strictly speaking, what I am looking for is the truth." ”

"True wisdom in this world has always been found in phenomena everywhere, and if you want to know any secrets, it's just a frivolous curiosity. ”

"As you say, history has no meaning to exist, and Thoth, who is the recorder, should not be a god of wisdom. ”

The goddess frowned, and Magellan found that the argument had finally entered the realm of Isis's concern, and the countess was on the verge of success.

"Then yes, in distant antiquity, there was a great flood, and the catastrophe spread to the whole world, whether it was a fragile mortal or a god who had just conquered a huge beast and possessed the world, they all wept in despair in the face of the natural disaster, and the whole world underwent irreversible changes, and even the mighty gods fell because of it. Isis had a sneer on her lips, but fear unconsciously appeared on her face, "And then, mortal? You know what happened, what you call the truth, and then?"

The countess did not have the expression on her face that the goddess had expected, which made her a little unable to comprehend what was happening.

"What a disappointment ...... me," the countess said with a look of genuine utter visceral disappointment, "you, the Secret Seeker, know even less than a mere mortal, and it seems that you are indeed not wise. ”
