Chapter 25: The Creation of Gods
At night, the battle cleared the atmosphere of clouds and fog, and until now the sky was clear, and the stars were impossibly bright.
The leader of the hunters stood in the center of the crater created by the dragon's impact and removed the black hood from his head.
A weathered face illuminated by the starlight belonged to Duke Arthur Wellington, Minister of War of the Empire.
He is the leader of the hunters.
"We used to give up our excessively powerful powers for the sake of mortals, but now, for the sake of mortals, we want to take them back. ”
"Is it really this far?"
"Yes. ”
......
The Eagle's Nest roared across the Channel and made its way through the journey at terrifying speeds to reach Francie.
Morningstar's movements were fast, as if it were a military operation, and everyone quickly left the airship to get into action, and Magellan's conversation with the king of the world was scheduled for the next morning.
Then before dinner, the king of the world suddenly brought the meeting earlier.
Although it was a bit of a surprise, Magellan didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
In a small conference room, Magellan met the king of the world whom he had never met.
Without the flamboyant costume, the king of the world in military uniform is still domineering, and she seems to be waiting for dinner, and summoning Magellan is only a whim.
"I don't care about science or anything like that, he's my enemy, and I'm going to win. The king of the world seemed to be in a hurry to rush to the battlefield, and she went straight to the point, hitting the nail on the head, "What really matters is how many people you think will support science and get life from faith based on science." ”
That's the part Magellan never thought about.
He came to the conclusion that science came from natural supernatural powers, with the beliefs of believers, and more nihilistic concepts.
This conclusion does not answer the question of the king of the world, and after all, no one knows how many believers in science can exist, and no one knows how much power science has now.
"I don't know. ”
"At first, I thought, maybe it's easier to investigate how many believers there are," the king of the world couldn't have been satisfied with this answer, but surprisingly, she didn't show anger, "but then everyone was confused, and they couldn't solve the problem of who would be on the side of science when the old world collapsed." ”
So this was forced to find another way, Magellan understood this instantly, but he still didn't have any clue.
"Anyone who believes that the world is dominated by something omnipotent may have contributed faith to science, even though they may not necessarily support the Last Judgment, and that faith will remain his strength when science sets off the Messiah. ”
So there is absolutely no answer to this question. ”
The King of the World understood this logic at a speed that surprised Magellan, and then to Magellan's surprise, the King of the World laughed.
"I'm sorry, but a very important part of the war is measuring the enemy's strength, and I just want to win too much. ”
The King of the World smiled and sighed, then shook his head, "You haven't eaten dinner yet, are you hungry?"
Magellan shook his head.
"One last question, if I make those people believe in the emperor, will the emperor become a god?"
Magellan looked at the king of the world in front of him and was speechless for a moment.
It was a petite beauty, but she was actually a terrible Titan, she once took the crown from the Pope, and if science was the king of heaven, then she was earthly.
She is the king of the world.
"I don't know. ”
At that moment, the terrifying Titan erupted in terrifying rage, and Magellan felt that he was standing on the surface of the sea in a storm, ready to be overwhelmed by the raging waves at any moment.
"I'm asking you to answer questions, and if you don't know, then think, and then tell me the answers. ”
"I don't know. ”
Magellan shook his head helplessly: "There is a possibility that cannot be ignored, people will see the emperor as a doppelganger of science, and then the power of faith will strengthen science." ”
"What else?"
"That's the biggest possibility, because there are very few people who don't believe in science, and the idea that supports them is that there are no gods in the world. Magellan looked at the king of the world in front of him, and she looked on the verge of an outburst of anger, "And anyone who is willing to believe in gods believes that there is only one god, who rules everything." ”
"So the Emperor's faith will eventually become only an adjunct to science. ”
The King of the World finally calmed down, smiling and waving her hand as if it were just a joke: "Honestly, I'm really disappointed. ”
Magellan speculated whether the sudden outburst of ambition of the king of the world was the habit of the superiors, or the confidence that something was going well, and in any case, it probably did not affect the war on science, at least for the time being, the emperor had not lost his mind.
"Thank you, Professor Magellan," the King of the World stood up, "I'm sorry I can't have dinner with you, I have a guest." ”
Magellan said "don't care" and stood up and said goodbye to the king of the world, and then the emperor of France left the room.
She walked alone in the familiar corridors of the summer palace, turned a corner, and entered a room.
It was the Emperor's private reception room.
The secret envoy from Alpha, the Lion Maharaja, the younger brother of the Alphaph Caliph the Golden-Maned Ajani, Aladdin the Golden-Maned Lion, was already waiting there.
"Welcome, guests from the Far East. ”
"Thank you. The young lion man had a warm smile on his face, but he wasn't skilled enough to hide his guarded eyes completely, "I'm sorry my brother couldn't come in person, he asked me to apologize on my behalf." ”
"Don't say that," the World King smiled warmly, but Aladdin could still clearly feel something else, "I am grateful that anyone who comes to my aid in the face of a god." ”
"We are one in the face of that enemy. ”
......
Brittany's capital is southeast of the sprawling island, near the mouth of the island's largest river, but long ago, it wasn't the center of empire that lived here.
The center of ancient Brittania was in the colder, more empty north.
The Duke of Wellington, citing ill health, left the capital while the military headquarters was busy preparing for war, and headed for the abandoned wasteland in the north, where he was now not far from his destination.
It is an abandoned wilderness, where the plains meet the mountains, and the mountains are deserted forests.
No one knows that hundreds of years ago it was the center of Brittany, and now it's just wilderness.
"Bless my fatherland, old king. ”
