Chapter 104: Avoid Death
"How is it possible, I only have four or five Demon Source Badges now, it is impossible to have more than you have." Su Ye replied casually to Nedern.
Nedern didn't return for half a day.
Su Ye thought that he wouldn't be blocked, so he asked tentatively, "Is it really more than you?" β
"You don't want to pass this year?" Nedern replied.
Su Ye was stunned for a moment, his heart said that he shouldn't have used up, could it be that Nedern's Demon Source Badge has been used up? Is this accidentally unmasking Nedern's short?
Su Ye really wanted to say that a disciple doesn't have to be inferior to a teacher, and a teacher doesn't have to be better than a disciple, but thinking about it, he will be dropped out of school if he fails this year, so forget it.
Su Ye suddenly felt extremely sympathetic to Nedern.
Soon Su Ye remembered that he had forgotten the most important thing, and sent a letter to Nedern again.
"Teacher, what is the use of my 'gaze of the goddess of wisdom'? I don't go into detail in the books I've read so far, I only know that it is a kind of divine favor, but not the highest favor. β
After a while, Nedern replied.
"I'm going to remind you tomorrow. Since you asked, then I'll answer it. The attachment of any god is a double-edged sword. β
"On the bright side, you can gain power, you can get honor, but on the bad side, the gods can drain power at any time. Of course, the patronage of a few gods is an exception, such as the patronage of the goddess of wisdom. The power she gives you must be the power you may get or mutate, not the power that belongs to her completely, and she can't take it back. β
However, there is another side to the attachment of the gods. When a Greek is favored and becomes stronger, what will a foreigner think of you? Kill! Because killing you will have great merit. β
"What do gods or believers who are hostile to gods think of you? Find a chance to kill! β
Su Ye kept thinking about the gods in his mind, and he was stunned, what Teacher Nidern said was right. Each god system is not monolithic, and there are irreconcilable contradictions within each god system.
The conflict of interests, the struggle of believers, the struggle of emotions, the dispute of ideas, and so on.
Su Ye suddenly discovered that the history of the four major god systems of Greece, Northern Europe, Two Rivers and Egypt was simply four histories of internal fighting.
In ancient times, the gods themselves went into battle, and the gods fought extremely fiercely.
In the last millennium, the gods have become less and less involved in the battle, and have begun to support proxy battles, so more and more gods have appeared.
Athena is the god of war, while Ares is the god of battle, and the hatred between the two sides is deep.
Athena is the daughter of Zeus, but not the daughter of Hera, even if Athena often takes the initiative to side with Hera, she will inevitably be wary of Hera.
As for the relationship between Athena and Zeus, it is even more difficult to say, Zeus swallowed Metis, who was pregnant with Athena at the time, and Athena broke out of her head.
As the daughter of Metis, does Athena want to save her mother? Was Zeus jealous of this powerful daughter?
Thinking of his Greek knowledge in Lanxing, and then contacting the world, Su Ye suddenly found that the Greek culture was divided.
One is the intellectual culture represented by philosophers such as the Three Sages of Greece.
The other is the chaotic culture represented by Sparta and the aristocracy.
Athens, on the other hand, is the intersection of sanity and chaos, which is actually worse than Sparta.
In Sparta, the rules were very simple, just speak with your fists, there is no morality there, every Spartan was raised from an early age to be a thief, a robber, a killer, every Spartan citizen was a slave owner, and at the same time everyone was an eternal soldier.
But Athens is different, if you are too rude, you will be despised or even rejected, if you are too kind, you will be oppressed, and you need to find a particularly important balance.
Aristotle's idea of the "middle way" was probably influenced by this environment.
In Athens, it is always necessary to constantly judge whether the other person is a sane person or a chaotic person.
People change.
Su Ye realized that the people in Athens City were SchrΓΆdinger's cats, and until the end, it was impossible to judge whether the other party was sane or chaotic.
A sane person would not provoke a person favored by the gods, but a chaotic person might like to provoke him.
After all, as long as they are not favored by the gods, they are just ordinary favors, and the killed gods will not care.
Even, every time Su Ye watched the deeds of the Greek gods, he always had a faint feeling that the Greek gods liked to see their people kill each other.
"Teacher, that's why the priest used the Word?"
"So I say, it's a double-edged sword. Not surprisingly, the gaze of the Goddess of Wisdom is likely to grant you a gift, in general, a surge of magic. This is a very important talent, and there may not be one out of a hundred magicians. Of course, among the masters of the Holy Domain, there will be slightly more people with this talent, because any gifted elf can be conceived through continuous cultivation. β
Su Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What if someone has a surge of magic power?" β
"That would be equivalent to getting the favor of Lady Luck at the same time, because the magic surge is very likely to be promoted, and the talent elf will be promoted from two wings to four wings, and the original time for all magic spells will be reduced by one second to two seconds."
Su Ye immediately began to meditate, and the spirit body appeared in the magic tower, looking at the magical power surging talent elf.
A smile appeared on Su Ye's face.
Sure enough, as Mr. Nedern said, the gifted elf actually grew a second pair of wings, which meant that all his casting speed was reduced by two seconds. It also means......
"Can I instantaneously cast a magic rope? Just say Skenny's spell, and the magic rope will attack directly, which also means that I am no longer afraid of warriors getting close! If I had a chance to get a mana eruption, it would be to directly reduce the cast time by four seconds. Terrifying! β
Su Yejing thought about it, no matter what, the gaze of this goddess of wisdom is more beneficial than bad, and the reason why Teacher Nidner said that was because he was afraid of his pride.
"Teacher, don't worry, I won't be proud of this, and I won't act recklessly on the basis of favor."
"Actually, in Athens, the favor of the goddess of wisdom was not the same as that of the ordinary Lord God."
"What's the difference?"
"Immunity from capital crimes, of course, may face non-death punishments."
"You really like to scare me!"
Su Ye was full of surprises, which meant that the gaze of this goddess of wisdom could save lives at a critical time, and this favor was too great.
"But a felony like blasphemy cannot be forgiven."
"Don't worry." Su Ye still felt that Neden was preventing himself from swelling.
Early the next morning, Su Ye arrived at the school gate on time.
"Hey! Su Ye! β
From the door all the way to the classroom, seven of the ten people I met took the initiative to say hello, the other two wanted to say hello but were embarrassed, and the last one was a noble student who had no face to say hello.
Walking into the classroom, almost all the students took the initiative to greet Su Ye, who smiled and nodded, and walked to the fifth table.
