Chapter 1173: Milmina's speculation

Name:Sword of Daybreaker Author:Yuan Tong
Milmina’s attitude on this matter seems to be a bit too calm, which of course has something to do with her once-a-god "vision"-she doesn’t think that certain mortal groups’ inclinations on the level of faith are worthwhile All the fuss, especially since these mortals have never established a connection with themselves.

For a god, mortals in this "isolated zone" are even as transparent as not needing attention, but for Gao Wen, this matter is not so simple.

"This is not just a question of'somewhat weird'," Gawain said with a trembling mouth, and said very seriously, "Didn't it mean that all mages in the world are believers or shallow believers in the goddess of magic? Although the belief in the goddess of magic is The loosest and broadest of all belief systems, but it is precisely because of this loose and broad form of belief that magicians generally believe in the goddess of magic..."

He was talking about the "common sense" he knew, but Milmina shook her head: "This is your mortal's own opinion. I have never said that."

Gawain frowned: "Isn't that true?"

"At least not in Violet," Milmina said seriously. "And even in the continent of Loren, not all mages believe in me-the'shallow believer' is a very vague concept, because it can hardly establish effective The belief is connected, so the judgment of it becomes very subjective and general. Sometimes a mage does not believe in God at all in his heart, but when he encounters a magic model that cannot be solved, he still habitually scolds, "The goddess of magic is not I’ll take a look at this stuff.’ In this case, people are likely to regard him as a shallow believer... You know how unreliable judgments in this area are."

Gawain rubbed his eyebrows and said as he sorted his thoughts, "Okay, okay, let's not discuss this, we will discuss Violet... You said that so many mages in the Violet Kingdom don't believe in you... This is really surprising... "

"It's normal, because the wizard itself is very mysterious, and the Violet Kingdom is the most mysteriously blocked among the mortal kingdoms. Almost no one in the world knows what the real situation inside the Violet Kingdom is, just instinctively thinks that such a country of wizards. It must be the land under the rule of the goddess of magic... but what's the actual situation? They haven't prayed to me for thousands of years, and apart from themselves, only I know this fact."

Milmina said, spreading her hands very humanely: "Don't say you think they are mysterious, I also think they are quite mysterious."

"...but why is this?" Gawain frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Why does a kingdom of mages appear to be extinct in the faith of the goddess of magic..."

"How would I know?" Milmina shook her head, "This is what happened after I became aware. Since there are no my followers in that land, I have no way of knowing their internal situation, and because The Violet Kingdom has been isolated from the mainland of Loren since ancient times. It is difficult for my beliefs to spread across the strait. Not to mention that the belief in the goddess of magic itself is very loose. Those mages who believe in me will not be as enthusiastic as the priests of other sects. For preaching and church planting, they have time to do two more sets of topics. How can they have time to study how to spread faith... I myself don’t even bother to pay attention to these things."

Gao Wen didn't know what to say for a while, facing the goddess of magic who took such a natural attitude, he could only shake the corner of his mouth, admiring the lady's reckless mentality in his heart.

It really deserves to be able to engrave a "thank you" character on the table after watching my own funeral.

Settling down, Gawain finally had to accept this unexpected fact. The series of questions he had prepared before had time to speak and lost their meaning. He had to reorganize the language and ask: "You just said... Know what's happening inside them? You can't see what's happening inside the Violet Kingdom, does that mean?"

“If there is no believer, there will be no eyes and ears. This is the operating rules of our gods,” Milmina’s attitude finally became serious. She explained patiently, “We can pass believers—at least if they are devout believers. Their senses come to understand everything that happens in the world, but in turn, we can only understand what believers can see and hear.

"Do you know what the human world looks like in the eyes of the gods? You can imagine. When I was still in the gods, the world I saw was countless shining points of light in the darkness, every shining point of light They are all believers with devout beliefs. Around their light spots, they illuminate a small space, which is the area that their sense organs can perceive. The vision of the gods is composed of countless light spots and surrounding areas. 'Bright areas' are composed and rely on them to piece together a world that can be recognized.

"And when I cast my gaze on the Violet Kingdom...all I saw there was pitch black, not even a shimmer of flickering light, let alone a ‘view’."

"It's pitch black..." Gawain muttered to himself subconsciously. He sketched the picture described by Mirmina in his mind, and that picture was not difficult to imagine. He frowned, and then cast his eyes on Ammon, "What about you? Can you see the situation in the Violet Kingdom?"

In fact, he just asked casually, because the area affected by Amon himself was limited to the southern part of the mainland. The **** of nature believers in the northern area were rarely seen, and the Violet Kingdom was a very closed place, and he had never heard of it. What kind of beliefs in the natural realm still exist in them-but he still has a hope in his heart, that is the "traveling" tradition that the silver elves have passed down since ancient times.

Silver elves in adulthood tend to follow the tradition to walk through the entire "world". The powerful high-level rangers dare to explore the elemental realm. In the ancient ages, which elven wanderer will step into the violet kingdom? If anything, this might be a look for Amone...

However, Amone’s answer quickly broke Gawain’s expectations. The **** of nature lowered his eyelids, with regret in his low and sweet voice: "Sorry, my eyes never crossed that strait—there was there to me It's also pitch black."

Gawain nodded, curled his fingers to support his chin, and fell into thinking. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and one thing came to mind: "Wait, Ms. Milmina, I remember the Violet Kingdom from six hundred years ago At the beginning, there was a new tradition. They would select talented “apprentices” on the continent of Loren to go to the city of a thousand towers. Most of these so-called apprentices were Loren spellcasters with a certain level of strength. Among these spellcasters Is there nothing that can be your "eye"?"

"I also know this tradition-although I don't respond much to the prayers of believers in the world, I have been paying attention to the changes in the world. I still know something about the outside of the Violet Kingdom," Mirmina nodded. "It's really strange to think about it at this time... During the six hundred years, the Violet Kingdom selected a lot of apprentices from the continent of Loren, and none of them really believed in me, even if some of them were later. Became my believers, but at least at the age when they were selected as'apprentices', they have not yet established a belief in the'magic goddess'..."

Milmina said that he was unintentional, but Gawain listened to it intentionally. His eyes froze instantly, as if lightning flashed across his heart, and a clue that no one had thought of came to his mind.

Milmina keenly noticed the change in Gawain’s expression: "What did you think of?"

"...For six hundred years, countless people have wanted to find out the criteria for selecting apprentices in the Violet Kingdom. They looked for clues from a series of possible conditions such as apprentices' talent, place of residence, race, age, personality, and ancestry. But no one has thought that the real common ground is here...

"Violet is a country of mage, the criterion for selecting apprentices is that you cannot believe in the goddess of magic..."

Amorn had been listening in silence without interjecting, but suddenly couldn't help but say: "Is it a bit early to draw this conclusion at this time?"

"...Indeed, we cannot draw this conclusion yet," Gawain was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly, "but at least the existing clues can gather this point: from six hundred years ago to today, all who have been allowed to enter The apprentices in the city of a thousand towers have at least one thing in common, that is, they have never believed in the goddess of magic. In this regard, I think Ms. Mirmina’s judgment is absolutely accurate."

"What is the reason behind this?" Amorn seemed to be finally interested in this topic, and he asked again, "A country with a large population uses such a strict attitude to prevent a certain belief from spreading in its own country. , This is something that no country on the Loren continent has ever done-it is not easy in this world. They must do this for a reason, right?"

"And they did it so successfully..." Milmina added, "'There is no glimmer of light'. Although I don't care about this matter, the abnormality of the matter itself is It is worthy of attention. I don’t know how many people there are in the Violet Kingdom, but there is a saying that mortals say well-where there are mortals, there is soil for faith. Mortals will always encounter suffering, and there will always be people who pray , There are countless spellcasters up and down in the Violet Kingdom. Haven't they encountered a big problem that they can't solve for thousands of years? I should mention my name when I scold the street..."

Milmina's voice in the second half of the sentence was obviously lower, and Gawain couldn't help but glanced at her more, and Amone's voice came from the side: "You tell the truth-do you really care?"

Milmina casually said: "Do you think my free and easy attitude seems to care?"

"...whatever you say."

Gawain didn't care about the interaction between Mirmina and Ammon, which seemed to have become a daily dismantling interaction, and he had fallen into thinking.

The goddess of magic is right-such a big kingdom is still a kingdom with mages as the main body, and there is not even a member who believes in the goddess of magic in it. This thing itself is the biggest weirdness, and its weirdness is even Beyond the reasons behind the selection criteria of the "Apprentice" in the Violet Kingdom...

The most critical question is: how did they do it?

Amone and Milmina noticed that Gawain fell silent in their thoughts, and they stopped at the same time. I don’t know how long it took before Milmina suddenly said: "You just mentioned some behaviors in the Violet Kingdom. Come'very suspicious', what is the specific situation?"

There was no need to conceal this aspect. Gao Wen sorted it out and told the former goddess of the situation he had just discovered: "It's a technical black box - a technical black box that is hard to explain by coincidence. . Including a large number of traditional fields..."

After a detailed description, Gawain’s voice fell, and Amone said after a little thought: "This can be considered from the perspective of confidentiality requirements and national interests-and to be honest, when you study rune logic Before such things are established, this kind of black-box technology inheritance is the norm in this world. Those things that can be resolved and split are rare, and even despised by mainstream academic groups."

Gawain nodded: "That's right, but considering the various anomalies that the Violet Kingdom is showing now, the ‘black box’ they spread out...It’s hard not to let people care."

Milmina hadn’t spoken since she had just listened to Gawain’s narration. She was silent for a long time, which finally attracted Amone’s attention. The God of Nature’s eyes swept towards her: "What do you think of ?"

"I'm guessing...what exactly those violet wizards want to do," Milmina didn't look up, but said softly as if talking to herself, "'Black Box Magic', technology and knowledge encapsulation will not affect When it comes to the inheritance and utility of spells, even to a certain extent, even if there is a black box, mages can conduct'research' and'personal diligence', which is determined by the special nature of magic.

"Therefore, the black box spells that the violet mages spread out will not affect the establishment of the Loren magic system and the growth of Loren spellcasters, so at least to a certain extent, these'obstacles' they set up are not for themselves. National security or delaying the development of competitors-I mean if they regard Loren Continental as a competitor.

"What they want to achieve should be another purpose-if they really have such a ‘purpose’."

"Just say whatever you think of," Amone urged, "There are no outsiders here."

"Let me remind you," Milmina didn't care about Amone, but turned her gaze to Gawain, "If there are more and more'black boxes' in a magic system, it will gradually develop to the most basic of the entire system. The theory is also made up of black boxes; if the powers of the casters are all in an unexplainable state, people can only recite the ancestral spellcasting as if chanting the prayers of the classics, and no one knows the symbols behind Mathematical logic and energy rules; if rational analysis and research behavior are completely suppressed, scholars will no longer pursue the knowledge behind the technology, but only know the miraculous effect produced by the encapsulated magic model. This situation will continue for a long time. What will it cause?"

Gawain finally understood the deep meaning of Milmina’s words, and the answer that was pointed behind made his expression grim for a moment: "...Magic will become a miracle."

"This is just my guess." Milmina said calmly.

(Ma!)
