Chapter 44: Blasphemy

"Pedal knock, knock knock."

Thoth struggled to open his eyes, struggled to get up from the bed, and stared at Miko outside the window, who had been disturbing his dreams, and the Angel of Time, who had been tinkering with the loophole for half a quarter of an hour, was satisfied with the result, and beckoned to Thoth with great interest.

"You're a ...... My Ancestral Lak! Can you please not disturb me while I'm doing business?! Having said that, Thoth opened the restriction and let the pesky bird fly in.

"Business? Aren't you just sleeping? Amon looked at his messy hair and crumpled pajamas, "It's ten o'clock in the morning, where did you go when you got up before dawn?" ”

Thoth hesitated, but still didn't tell Amon about the prophetic dream, so he could only glare at him without deterrence, and then opened the closet, slowly picked out a few clothes, and put himself in a good way.

"Why are you here?" Thoth took off his pajamas, revealing his bamboo-like shapely upper body, his voice still hoarse after a long sleep.

"What, you're not welcome?" Amungu looked into the still open closet—the closet was supposed to be a more intimate place, but Thoth's mind was so distracted that he simply turned a blind eye. Seeing that the other party didn't agree, Amon replied by himself: "Father's kingdom is very good, but it will feel dull if you stay for a long time." ”

"If you train two dependents, you will feel that the time is much easier...... The coat was handed to me. ”

"Dependents? I don't need anything like that. The fraudster deceived the refractive index of light, and the dark purple robe glowed as a starry blue as a starry sky, "And ah, as I watched my father perform miracles, fulfill desires, and gain adoration, I felt more and more ...... one thing."

"What?"

"In fact, human beings believe in gods, not because of love, but because of greed." Amon smiled a little wickedly, "Believers worship gods, maybe they're just expressing their desires in a different way?" ”

It was enough to make the lips of any religious person turn white and sweat cold, but Thoth did not even blink an eye, for Medici wished to burn him to ashes after hearing him say this. Amon couldn't help but feel bored, but the next moment he made an even more interesting discovery: Thoth was laughing, not a fake smirk...... It's because He's in a good mood.

The angel suddenly remembered one thing, since he was a child, the hidden sage did not have much knowledge of faith with him.

"I haven't heard that in years." Thoth fastened his belt, "This statement is not blasphemous, for most human beings who have never been able to deal with the gods in their lifetime, the gods are nothing more than a collection of wishes, the sustenance of obsessions. ”

He sat down in front of the mirror and slowly brushed his waist-length hair, "In the time I lived, in that country, there were many gods and churches, and people would worship their statues, make prayer gestures, light a candle of incense, ......" He smiled a little mischievously, "but ah, these actions are not limited to one object. ”

"For example, when a student is about to take an exam, he will worship the god who holds the knowledge, but that doesn't stop him from going to the god who maintains the order of business tomorrow - after all, who doesn't want a lot of money? The day after tomorrow, I will worship a god who drives away diseases, and the day after tomorrow I will worship a god who is in charge of the wind and rain. ”

In a way, this kind of worship is the same thing as not believing in any god at all...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Indeed, in this way, it will be difficult for the gods to build up a large force and extend the struggle to the human world."

"Alas...... If that's the case, then the world is too quiet. ”

Thoth tried to hold his hair a little higher so that it looked fresher, but a few of them would slip out between his fingers and land on the nape of his neck. Amon couldn't take it anymore, so he took the handle, and the satin-like black hair obediently clinged to the thief's dexterous fingers, and was finally smoothly tied into the silver headband.

"Thanks."

"If you really want to say thank you, how about going to the spirit world with me and having some fun? Today is the Sabbath, and before that we can go and eat something. ”

On the Sabbath, Thoth received far fewer prayers than usual, and he would visit his beloved taveries and pastry shops—rejoicing in the fact that as time went on, the craftsmanship of the people became better and the food was made more and more elaborate.

"No, I'm going to go to the Eastern Continent."

"What are you doing in the Eastern Continent?"

"Look at your dad, it's been a long time since I've seen him."

"Don't you often see each other in dreams?" At this, the Angel pouted in displeasure - it was not that he had not tried to intervene in the conversation between adults, but he was always ejected again and again, and despite the immeasurable power of the Creator, the god of cunning and mischief was inevitably a little frustrated. Thoth caught his temper in the mirror and chuckled, "I mean Sasriel, I haven't seen Him yet." ”

In the new year, a new addition has been added to the holy text of the all-knowing and all-powerful Creator: "The Angel of Darkness is the left hand of the Creator, His Substitute, and the Vice-Lord of Heaven." ”

The last time Thoth asked about it in a dream, the Creator only said that he had a whim, so he played a wave of Eve memes. At that time, this topic was brushed over by him in the words of the audience, but the more Thoth thought about it afterwards, the more wrong it became—who would divide authority for the sake of meme?

"Although that guy is a half-body of the father, he has no resemblance to the father, so it can be said that it is extremely boring." Amon picked up a sheet of music that Thoth had placed next to his pillow, and in his spare time Thoth would try to reproduce the old ballads, "You have little to say to Him but to say hello." ”

"I haven't met yet, how do you know I don't have anything to do with him?"

"You might as well accompany me to the Spirit Realm, maybe we can catch the Dog of Fugen."

Thoth shook his head, "Will you go by yourself this time?" ”

"Well, that's fine." Amon handed him the sheet music, "But sing this to me, in the language of old." ”

"......," Thoth was momentarily speechless, "should I praise you for your perseverance?" ”

"Or you can just teach me that language."

"Then you'd better go to sleep."

"What do you mean?"

"Dear, there is everything in my dreams...... Oops, don't poke me! I've got it back! ”
