Chapter 184: Who is Protecting?
"yes, it's fine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Catherine apparently hadn't gotten out of this troublesome question, but was repeating Lina's words in a trance, until Pannis suddenly slapped the table hard, and then she sat up straight as if she had been awakened from her sleep, and asked in surprise, "What, what's wrong?"
"That's a great question, and I'd love to know the answer. Lina glanced at the knight girl, but lowered her voice and said softly: "Eldest sister, you think too much, and I thought too much before." There has always been a saying in the church that mortal thinking is the source of laughter for the gods, and that they cannot understand each other's way of thinking when they stand at different heights, and that our thinking and suspicion may be childish and ridiculous for the gods. Just like this matter, Pannis is right, in fact, there are many possibilities, thinking that the gods have added restrictions to our souls, in fact, it is only one of them, it may not be true, and the gods cannot give the answer directly, so it is really meaningless to think so much, but it will shake your faith and belief. β
"What if it's true? Is it because of this, we are no longer ourselves? Obviously not, we are still ourselves, we still live according to our own will, whether this is the case or not, in fact, it will not make any difference. Pannis said calmly: "Besides, even if it is really the creatures of our world that are special, is there anything wrong with the restrictions added to our race when it was created? Think about it carefully, if it were you and me, would you do the same thing?"
"I ......" Catherine opened her mouth in the face of Pannis's question, but she couldn't answer, this question seems very simple, the knight girl only needs to shake her head in no, but if you think about it, it is not so easy to answer. If all this is true following the premise of Pannis's hypothesis, then there is no doubt that it is not in line with Catherine's belief that it is not possible to impose restrictions on the origin of the life she created, but is it all that simple? After the crisis of the first and second ages, it is not incomprehensible that the gods restricted the souls of their children in order to protect themselves, and besides, is it really just the self-protection of the gods? Cutting off the possibility of fighting between mortals and gods, is it only the gods who are protected? One question after another flashed in Catherine's mind, and finally the girl could only smile helplessly: "I don't know, maybe I will, maybe not, after all, I am not a god, and it is impossible to give an answer." β
"I don't think you know, but you can think again. Pannis gestured in the direction of the central temple of the capital, "What do you think Nelly has done to the undead?"
"Nelly-sama, she'......" The girl has an interesting speech, the undead were not created by Nelly, but they did sense the power of death and were born, for Nelly, who performed the priesthood of death, it is not too much to say that the undead are her children, on the one hand, under the influence of her will, the undead have produced a large number of sanity, which is a good thing for the undead, but on the other hand, because she deliberately used her will to affect the undead, the number of undead has been greatly reduced, and the unconscious undead that can be controlled by conscious high-level undead have been reduced to a dangerous point, and more seriously, the undead also need food and sleep to maintain their spiritual bodies, and they are not like they used to act without sleepγ These changes are obviously a serious restriction for the undead, and there is no essential difference between them and the gods adding restrictions to the souls of creation. However, the knight girl still forcibly argued: "This is different, Lord Nelly, she is for the future of the undead, she will let them have these changes, not for herself at all." β
"How do you know?" Pannis asked lightly, "and, whatever the motive, the essence of the act is the same. Also, are you sure that the other gods don't think the same way?"
"I ...... No. Catherine held on for a moment, hung her head in despair, and sighed, "I'm not sure of anything. β
"Therefore, do not speculate on the will of the gods. Pannis repeated this favorite maxim of the clergy: "We can only be sure of anything, but to speculate for no reason, but suspicion is the most lethal weapon, and can often destroy everything." β
"Whew, I see. Catherine was silent for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously: "No wonder you directly interrupted Lina's question just now, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, and I shouldn't have been so curious to ask this question." β
"That's okay, judging from the current trend, as long as you have a future, you will definitely have the opportunity to think about all this, and it is not a bad thing to be mentally prepared now. Pannis shrugged, "And if you look at Vivien and Freya, the two of them are completely unaffected, and Weston has given them wisdom so that they will not be confused by it at all." β
"Huh, why?" Lina's curiosity reappeared, and she said in surprise: "Yes, you two didn't react at all, did you already know, or didn't you care at all?"
"Pointless. Freya shook her head and said: "There are so few arguments to support the conclusion, not even sufficient, or even almost none, for a researcher, there is no need to use such arguments to derive results, it is a complete waste of time." For the two of us, it's the equivalent of you telling a story, and who will take the story seriously. β
"Huh", several eyes focused on Lina at the same time, and even Lina herself directly raised her finger and pointed to her nose to remind Freya.
"Okay, okay, you win, and someone is stupid enough to take the story seriously. Her Royal Highness noticed that Lina's eyes were beginning to become dangerous, and immediately changed the subject and said, "Moreover, we don't care at all. β
"That's right, there's nothing to care about. Vivien buried herself in the notes she had taken all night, and easily divided a part of her mind to reply: "In any case, this is already a fact, and to guess the reason, and to express dissatisfaction with whom, there is no result except for wasting precious time." So, instead of dwelling on the impossible causes, I'd rather spend my time looking for solutions, which is what a good mage does. Of course, there is no point in even seeking a solution to the current situation, and in that case, of course we don't care. β
"Okay, I see. Catherine tapped her head, "I've done something stupid, let's all forget about it, Pannis, you go ahead." β
