White Candle Star, Office of the Minister of Education.

“…… That's the case. ”

The professor of the Academy Committee, Chief Artequez, put down the document of the report and asked the minister in front of him anxiously:

"So much has happened in just a few days."

The Minister of Education of the White Candle Star, Balcomon Pahlavi Bastet, crossed his hands and casually placed them in front of him, his eyes deep.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Is this true?"

"Since the news came from the 11th Narrative "United Group", there will be no falsehood, and the narrative civilization will not spread the rumors of a gamma-level mortal randomly......"

"That is to say," Balcomon straightened up slightly and stared at Arterez: "The genius student we recruited not long ago, taking advantage of the recuperation period before the start of the course, first went to fight with Mr. Liu'e, the academic master of the Life Commune, and then went to the Van Lenkov Autonomous State, blew up the building, destroyed the warship, and made the Verazi Company withdraw from Van Lenkov in disgrace?" ”

"Well, in general, it is, but there are a lot of details in this, the Verazi company was driven not by Leoz, but by the masses of Van Lenkov with the new government......"

"Regardless, he has created the fact that in the universe, rumors always turn into legends and myths."

Balcomon sighed:

"This kid is a headache. At first, I thought he was just a narrative to tempt and reach us. Now it seems that Leoz not only has divinity, but also considerable combat effectiveness, a mortal of the gamma level, can survive the offensive of Verazi, and defeat the Delta level alone-with divinity, Leoz, hehe, if Leoz hadn't died completely enough, I suspect that he is really the reincarnation of Leoz. ”

"There is no reincarnation in the abyss." Arterz reminded.

"I don't care if I have it or not, at least this kid has nothing to do with the narrative level, but it has a lot to do with the gods, and the exam can be said to be accidental, but the actual combat will not deceive."

Balcomon's words were also a headache for Artezi, who was the one who had to really come into contact with Leoz compared to the Minister of Education.

He had no choice but to raise his hand, organize the language, and ask tentatively:

“…… What did the Supreme Council say? Do they have a particular opinion on the Leoz thing? ”

"Particular thoughts? What else can be seen. I said you, don't be too mythical about the high-level people. The Supreme Council is a group of big men who talk to each other all day long under the banner of democratic voting, in fact, everyone knows that those mage families have already made a decision and deliberately come out to perform, making you feel as if everyone is equal between magicians. ”

Balcomon was dismissive of the Supreme Council:

"The Supreme Council is busy dealing with the situation at the front, there is nothing to say, let us decide for ourselves. The of the corpse vegetarian meal...... Okay, think about it, how to deal with Leoz. ”

"Since the above gives us enough space to operate, then this actually means that in the eyes of the Supreme Council, Leoz's situation is not enough to worry about?"

"Let's just understand that." Balcomon thought for a moment and said, "Leoz seems to be close to us, at least for now, but do you want to say that he has any strategic significance?" ”

Arterez shook his head:

"You can't change the war by just one person, but since Leoz did this kind of thing, it really proves that he has nothing to do with a narrative-level civilization."

"You think he's a third party?"

"Not only that, but I suspect that there is no force behind Leoz at all. He is not a third-party force, he is a personal power. ”

Balcomon pondered for a moment:

"This matter needs to be dealt with seriously, in terms of public opinion, our people have been derailed from the stars, so it is easy to control, but Leoz's background is worth considering."

"About this."

Arterz immediately seized the opportunity and took out a document prepared in advance:

"The last time you introduced the Divinity, I immediately went and applied for a Level 3 Loan right at the Alfred Great Library. As for the gods, we conducted research and research, and summarized the interviews with the gods that we had been exposed to in the past, and the identity of Leoz was ...... I'm leaning towards these three possibilities. ”

"In the first case, Leoz took over the divine inheritance from a fallen god from somewhere, which is not unlikely, because according to the situation of the abyss, there are hundreds of wild indigenous gods, scattered in the universe, most of them are not of the Sigma level (∑, the eighteenth Greek letter), and the wild gods have no stable supporters, most of them are illegal missionaries, and they can easily degenerate into evil gods, according to Leoz's performance, this possibility is not very likely."

"In the second case, Leoz himself was born with divine characteristics, but this required less than three generations of divine blood. One of the major signs of the Xingyuan deity is the porcelain skin, obviously Leoz does not have these characteristics, and we have also checked his genealogy, but it is just the descendants of ordinary construction laborers, and even two generations have not produced a spellcaster, the probability is quite low. ”

"The third scenario is easy to understand." Arterzez said, "He is God, born to be God, ordained by God." ”

"A chosen one born with a divine nature. This situation is extremely rare in the current environment, because after the popularization of Dao education, all civilizations have recognized the 'God Supporter' Dao system of ascending to the gods the day after tomorrow, and they have a general evaluation of the innate gods of primitive nature. ”

"The reason is simple, such gods often have a highly self-centered mindset and do not approve of the 'path narrative' of narrative-level civilizations, so they are often alienated and attacked by narrative-level civilizations - except for the 'Temple of Annihilation'."

He showed his style and expertise as an academic bureaucrat very well, showing his meticulous logic and ability to gather information, and each page was marked in striking red and with just the right amount of annotations, which was very friendly to the reader, and the reasonableness and conciseness of the words made Balcomon quite admired.

Although Arteziz didn't point it out, Balcomon knew exactly what kind of situation he was referring to Leoz.

Nature gods? This thing is outdated.

In this era when everyone climbs the path, self-realization, self-sublimation, and self-ascension are themselves the grand narratives outlined by narrative-level civilizations.

With this kind of means and slogans, the narrative-level civilization transcends the racial and geographical barriers, and can really unite people's hearts from the ideological and material aspects, and naturally has no good feelings for the natural gods, and the latter is destined to be the descendant of the narrative-level civilization.

Balcomon did not care that he knew the divinity first, but was now educated by Arteze, which, in his opinion, confirmed the excellent learning quality of his chosen successor.

"Since there's nothing wrong with Leoz, that's a good thing."

Balcomon nodded:

"The nature god is a harmless and neutral image, not to mention that it will take at least four or five hundred years for him to really ascend to the gods—since then, he has continued to adhere to the policy of only cultivating and not raising, but he can give Leoz a little freedom and room to play."

"What do you mean?"

"It's time to learn some skills for him, even if he organizes some groups, registers workshops and enterprises, and even joins the army, it is allowed, and some welfare subsidies are appropriately issued, so that people can feel the goodwill of the Crystal Tower."

Balcomon Says:

"White Candle Star is highly educated, our students are excellent mages, and the objective idealism of the gods is not tempting to them. Even if he really absorbs some people, Elioz's character and intelligence will not make a matter of tearing the land and sealing the territory. ”

"As for the little between him and Liu'e, Van Lenkov, and Verazi, let's not mention it, it's embarrassing to everyone. By the way, you should also drop his account as soon as possible, and if he wants to go out to another civilization, we will also let go if we want to, and we can make a stumbling block. ”

"The only thing: Leoz must not be allowed to participate in politics, the Tower of Crystal is a noble materialist civilization, and we will never recognize the gods as having a legitimate political seat. Otherwise it will have a bad effect on our civilians, understand? ”

Balcomon's command, in Arterez's opinion, released a signal: the Crystal Tower civilization is now highly nervous, and the study of gods in the past can be directly placed in front of the stage, but now the battle situation with the Night Butterfly Federation is unfavorable, and naturally there will be no good face for that group of idealists.

Artequez also talked to Balcomon about Leoz's curriculum, and Balcomon said vaguely, "You look at it, I don't know how to teach." You don't need to deliberately promote the image of the Crystal Tower civilization, but you can promote the bullshit of the Night Butterfly Federation. ”

This sentence further deepened Artezi's conviction, and from such minutiae, it is actually possible to infer a lot of information.

For example, where fertility is high, mortality is often high, and it can be inferred that people are forced to adopt a strategy of winning by quantity to combat natural disasters, war, and poverty. In times of peace, urbanization has resumed, sanitation has improved, mortality rates have been greatly reduced, and the cost of raising children has become higher, leading people to choose eugenic strategies and reduce birth rates.

Balcomon's remarks were more about the enemy's image, indicating that something must have gone wrong on the front line, and that the Night Butterfly Federation had made a key battle or made some progress.

So, after talking about Leoz's arrangement, he pretended to mention it casually:

"Mr. Minister, you asked me to find Verlia before, I can confirm that she has been resurrected, and the ruins and tombs were hollowed out five years ago, and it is only a matter of time before you want to confirm her location, when do you think we will arrange for our Golden Dragon Volunteer Hero to come to the White Candle Star?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Balcomon said casually:

"The Night Butterfly Federation doesn't know what weapon is used, and now the information sent to the Galactic Eye Front is all in the sea, and we don't know what's going on there at all - so, you don't have to worry about that matter for the time being, the Supreme Council has come down with a new round of conscription tasks, and we need our White Candle Star to provide 3,000 Zeta-level elite spellcasters, requiring loyalty to civilization, firm materialism, good academic performance, and extremely high patriotic enthusiasm - you can help and find candidates."

Arterkez bowed his head in agreement, but a cold sweat oozed from his back.

- The last time the Crystal Tower civilization recruited college students was 400 years ago.

At that time, they were invaded by [society] and almost wiped out their country.

Don't look at Balcomun's words that it's not a big deal, his attitude is relatively relaxed, but the actual performance is not optimistic, maybe Civilization has already lost four or five key battles.

Balcomon didn't make it clear, but he knew one thing very well in his heart:

In just seven days, the Battle of the Milky Way Eye suffered a major setback, with a large number of casualties on both sides, and the battle was lost, and even the famous Golden Dragon Warrior Monk was unable to attack due to insufficient logistics and rest.

At this moment, the Galactic Eye battlefield has turned into the largest meat grinder in the abyss.
