Chapter 1076 Perception

Gawain picked up the teacup, but he didn't bring it to his mouth for a long time. In his thinking, he gradually sorted out the long and unknown history of the Silver Empire after the fall of the God of Nature—the lifespan of elves is too long, so they The secrets in history are far more mysterious and distant than human imagination. The time span of more than three thousand years, even in the Gondor Empire, which was at its peak, has exceeded the limit of accurate records in history books.

And such a long history is even enough for some druid secrets to create several "gods".

Of course, judging from Belsetia's description, those created by the druid secret religion are far from being gods, and the "body of a false god" consciously created by the Doom Society and the No. 1 sandbox The "upper-level narrators" born by accident are not the same. Those are at best psychological projections created by group thoughts, and there is still a distance from entering the real world.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen suddenly couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional - in terms of death, humans are indeed superior, and the results of the 3,000-year tossing of the elf druids are not as big as the results of those two cult groups. ...

But this is really not something to brag about.

"You're lost in thought again." The Silver Queen seemed to be watching Gawain's expression changes very intently, and her voice woke him up from his thoughts, "But it's normal, what I just said can make anyone into deep thought."

"...I was just thinking about how much you have learned from the attempts of those secret religion groups after so many years." Gawain put down his teacup and said while thinking, "You mentioned just now that although you are not sure What exactly are those secret religious organizations 'summoning', but you have already guessed about it... I think this 'guessing' is not that simple, right?"

The Silver Queen was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed softly: "Frankly speaking, since the fall of the White Star, we have been trying to uncover the truth behind it - after all, it was a major event that changed the pattern of the empire. Its influence has even spread to the whole world, and no one is curious about the truth behind it.

"As you know, the Silver Empire is a country with unified imperial power and theocracy. The elf royal family is also the religious leader of the Druid sect, so the most outstanding scholars of the Druid sect are also loyal to the elf court. In the fall of the white star Afterwards, the Elf King's Court organized a large-scale and time-consuming investigation, which even lasted until my father wore the golden oak crown.

"However, even with the most outstanding scholars organized, it took such a long time, we have not been able to find out the truth about the fall of the white star, and we have not been able to rebuild the connection with the God of Nature, so we can only come to a depressing conclusion : The God of Nature has fallen, no matter what the reason is, it has left this world forever.

"And it was in this situation that those secret sects appeared and seemed to have established a connection with some mysterious existence,

And those mysterious existences showed some characteristics similar to the gods in the ancient records to a certain extent... This had an extremely huge impact on the royal family who were still struggling to investigate the truth about the fall of the white star at that time—we are not Insensitive people, we can think of the possible truth behind this, which almost subverts our worldview.

"My grandmother...she was the first elf who ordered the destruction of those secret orders. Few people know that she changed into a priestess' robe the night before she died, prayed and repented all night, and finally died in fear and pain. Even so, she did not change the order she had given until she died.

"My father, he carried out the order left by his grandmother. During his nearly two thousand years of ruling career, he destroyed every secret organization he discovered, and indirectly destroyed every secret organization that was 'summoned' by those secret organizations. 'God', he has carefully read all the information written by those secret cult members on slate and leaf paper, even including the most inconspicuous words-in fact, he is the real 'secret cult expert', if he wants, he can Repeating any ritual that any esoteric order ever performed, but he never did, he took everything to the grave.

"By my generation... most of my courtiers and I have fully adapted to the 'Druid Orthodoxy' without gods. We even think it is better to say something disobedient. But we still regard the Druids as The forest and the land are managed in the name of the sect. We use the elven alphabet simplified from the "language of nature" 3,000 years ago as the official language. Many special words in our language are related to the belief activities 3,000 years ago... God left us, But cultural imprints are inseparable from our traditions.

"So back to the question just now - what did we 'guess'? We actually guessed everything, but we never admitted it, we couldn't admit it... What did we admit? To admit the orthodox leader of all the druids in the world, The earthly representative of the God of Nature, the ruler of the Silver Empire, spent three generations killing seven newborn 'Gods of Nature'?"

The Silver Queen's narration came to an end. She picked up the black tea in front of her, took a sip, and then smiled at Gao Wen: "I seem to be a bit off topic?"

"...No, no," Gawain said in a low tone while calming his mind calmly. He raised his head to look into Belsetia's eyes, trying to see from the eyes of the mature ruler of the empire. Some real emotions, but failed—the eyes were extremely deep, and all emotions seemed to have been blocked in the depths of his mind during hundreds of years of ruling career, so he could only shake his head, "So, you don't care about the gods. Know nothing—on the contrary, you know a lot, far more than humans, but all the secrets are buried deep in the royal records, and all the research is only scratching the surface."

The Silver Queen nodded: "You can say that."

"Then what do you think of what I told you in the last letter?" Gao Wen asked, "about the 'countdown' behind the gods discovered by humans in research, and our plan to try to find a way to save ourselves. "

"This is an area we haven't discovered," the blond lady in front of him looked serious, "We have noticed the emergence of gods, but no one has ever realized the existence of that terrible 'countdown'. After receiving your letter, I just feel very fortunate——fortunately, our three generations of elves have always made the right decision and did not let the situation get out of hand. As for the self-help method... You did not elaborate in your letter, but if you are serious Yes, then I'm interested."

"Of course I'm serious," Gawain said frankly, "If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't need to be so committed to changing the situation in the entire Loren Continent—the crazy 'countdown' of the gods is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all mortals No matter whether you want to admit it or not, this sharp sword cannot be resisted by any single country. Since the gods' operating rules are based on the "ideology" of all living beings, the key to breaking the game is destined to be "all living beings". I don't Determine where the tipping point of this 'all beings' is, but it must be more than one country or one family, so I need to incorporate as many countries and races as possible into the plan."

Having said that, he took a very serious look at the blond woman opposite him: "Actually, what I was most worried about was the attitude of the Silver Empire towards this matter - among the countries in the Loren Continent, only the royal family of the Silver Empire has both As the leader of the church, even though the gods the druids believe in have left this world for many years, this identity still affects your actions, but now it seems... this biggest worry is not a problem. "

The Silver Queen's gaze stayed on Gao Wen for a short while, and she suddenly laughed: "It can be seen that you are really serious, then I am happy to be your supporter."

Gao Wen's expression didn't change much, he just breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can't connect the mature and stressful woman in front of him with the "little princess" in his memory—the change in the other party is really real. So big that the memory left by Gawain Cecil was hardly useful, all he could do was adapt.

Then he thought for a while, and was about to ask the next question, but before he could speak, the Silver Queen said, "You've already asked a lot, isn't it the lady's turn to ask now?"

Gao Wen was startled, then nodded, "Of course, you can ask."

The other party smiled. She looked into Gao Wen's eyes and said unhurriedly, "You are not the real Uncle Gao Wen, are you?"

Gao Wen: "..."

There was only a moment of silence, and Gao Wen felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken by half a beat, but his strong will played a role. He didn't show any abnormalities on the outside, and he didn't even disturb his breathing rhythm. He just showed some surprise and surprise. With an expression on his face, he pointed to himself, and looked at the blonde woman in front of him: "Why do you say that? Can I still be a fake?"

The Silver Queen looked at Gao Wen calmly, and said softly after a long time: "I didn't lie to you, I know you are not him, at least not completely him...I can tell."

The garden became quiet for a while, and the stagnant air seemed to be gradually becoming solid, which made people feel more oppressed. Gawain and the Silver Queen faced each other quietly. In the end, he still smiled and shook his head: "Why did one and two find out in the end..."

"Both?" Hearing that this was equivalent to the default response, the Silver Queen's expression did not change much, she just noticed the key words in Gao Wen's words, and there was a hint of curiosity in her tone, "Who else found out?" ?”

Gawain shook his head: "Bertila Augustus, Selena Gelfen—you should still remember them, when you often went to make trouble around them, you even secretly hid Selena's lantern, but I didn't know it was a magic lamp, it recorded your process of hiding the lamp completely."

"Bertera and Selena... It's been a long time since I heard these two names," the Silver Queen revealed a look of reminiscence, "They are still alive?!"

"...In a sense," Gao Wen said, "a lot of things have happened, and it may take a whole day to explain. If there is a chance, I can take you to meet them——of course, the premise is that they are also willing to talk to you. Reminiscing about the past."

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "Leaving this aside, how do you judge that I am not 'Uncle Gao Wen'? Although it is a bit boastful to say so--but I don't think there is anything abnormal about my performance, from the way I speak to My habitual small movements are exactly the same as Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago."

"Yeah, it's exactly the same... how can it be the same?" The Silver Queen looked into Gao Wen's eyes calmly, "If you are really Uncle Gao Wen, how can you still be the same as seven hundred years ago? Woolen cloth?"

Gao Wen frowned, feeling a little confused: "'Gao Wen Cecil has been in a deep sleep for seven hundred years', since these seven hundred years have all come from a deep sleep, then in fact the current 'me' is different from the original 'death'. In fact, there is only a few years of time difference, just a few years, it should be..."

"If you are the real Uncle Gao Wen, then you have experienced life and death, haven't you?" The Silver Queen interrupted Gao Wen and stated word by word, "You have experienced life and death, experienced the instant change of the times, experienced Everything is right and wrong, you woke up in a completely strange era, and you did so many earth-shattering things in this strange era, and most importantly - there is an almost completely strange me in front of you. You It's true that you haven't experienced those seven hundred years, but you have experienced a greater change than seven hundred years of life, so how can you maintain the appearance in my memory without being affected at all?"

She paused, looked into Gao Wen's eyes, and said softly after a long time: "You are too much like the Uncle Gao Wen in my memory—almost 100% the same, so it can't be true."

"... I was careless," Gao Wen was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly patted his forehead and sighed, "But are these the only reasons?"

"If there were only these reasons, I would probably only be skeptical," said the Silver Queen, "but I also know another thing, I know the rumors about 'Wanderers from Outer Territory'... Based on this premise, I am not just skeptical .”

Gawain resisted the urge to twitch the corner of his mouth: "Elves have traveled all over the continent, and the world says that the Silver Queen is the most intelligent ruler in the world... Now I have a deep understanding."

He sighed, and then said: "But since you found out that I'm not real, why did you tell me so much? Even willing to support my plan? You don't think I'm a dangerous 'soul stealer', or Some 'descendant' with unknown purpose?"

The blond woman in front of him laughed: "You also said just now that the Silver Queen is the ruler with the most intelligence in the world."

"what do you mean……"

"The connection between the northern part of the mainland and the Silver Empire is poor—but that's only in relative terms. In fact, my desk is full of information about you, from your establishment of a pioneering territory in the Dark Mountains to the revival of the Cecil family, from You built your empire, and then you went to that god-killing war... I know everything you brought to this world, even including what kind of font is used for the headline of the third report of this month's second issue of Cecil Weekly , "The Silver Queen smiled, "After knowing all this, do I need to know more?

"As for the other reason why I tell you so much...it's actually very simple.

"You have defeated gods, and more than one."
