Chapter 1173 Mirmina's Speculation

The latest website: Mir Mina's attitude on this matter seems to be a little too calm, which of course has something to do with her "vision" as a god - she doesn't think that some mortal groups have a tendency towards belief What a fuss, especially this group of mortals has never established a connection with themselves.

For a god, the mortals in this "isolated area" are as transparent as they don't need to pay attention to, but for Gao Wen, this matter is not so simple.

"This is not just a question of 'a bit strange'." Gawain's mouth trembled, and he said very seriously, "Isn't it said that all mages in the world are believers or superficial believers of 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 said the "common sense" he knew, but Mirmina shook her head: "This is your own opinion, but I have never said that."

Gao Wen frowned: "Isn't the real situation like this?"

"At least not in Violet," Mirmina said seriously, "and even in the continent of Loren, not all mages believe in me—"shallow believer" is a very vague concept, because it can hardly establish effective beliefs. Therefore, the judgment of it becomes very subjective and general. Sometimes a mage doesn’t believe in God at all, but when he encounters a magic model that he can’t solve, he will still habitually say, “the goddess of magic is not a god.” Will take a look at this thing', in this case, people may regard him as a shallow believer... You will know how unreliable the judgment in this regard is."

Gao Wen rubbed his brows, and said while gathering his thoughts: "Okay, okay, let's not discuss this, let's discuss Violet... You said that so many mages in the Violet Kingdom don't believe in you... It's a bit surprising... "

"It's normal, because mages themselves are very mysterious, and the Violet Kingdom is the most mysterious and sealed off among the mortal kingdoms. Almost no one in the world knows what the real situation inside the Violet Kingdom is, so they just instinctively think that such a country of mages It must be the land ruled by the Goddess of Magic... But what about the actual situation? They have never prayed to me for thousands of years, and this fact is only known to me besides themselves."

While talking, Mirmina spread her hands in a very humane way: "Don't say you think they are mysterious, I think they are quite mysterious too."

"...But why is this happening?" Gao Wen frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Why does a country composed of mages show a state where the belief in the goddess of magic has disappeared..."

"How would I know?" Mirmina shook her head, "That's what happened after I became conscious.

Since there are no followers of mine in that land, I have no way of knowing their internal situation, and since the Violet Kingdom has been isolated from the Loren Continent since ancient times, it is difficult for my faith to spread across the strait—not to mention The belief in the goddess of magic itself is very loose. Those mages who believe in me are not as enthusiastic about preaching and establishing churches as the priests of other sects. They would rather do two more big questions when they have time. How can they have time to study how to spread beliefs... ...I'm just too lazy to pay attention to these things myself. "

For a moment, Gao Wen didn't know what to say. Facing the goddess of magic who took it for granted, he could only tremble at the corner of his mouth, feeling admiration for the lady's resignation mentality in his heart.

It's really worthy of being able to carve a "thank you" on the table after watching your own funeral.

Gathering his mind, Gao Wen finally had to accept this unexpected fact. The series of questions he had prepared earlier lost their meaning before he could speak, so he had to reorganize his words and ask: "You just said...you can't do it. Know what's going on inside them? You can't see what's going on inside the Violet Kingdom, is that what you mean?"

"Without believers, there will be no eyes and ears. This is the operating rule of our gods," Mirmina finally became serious, and she explained patiently, "We can use believers—at least if they are devout believers, through Their senses come to understand what is happening in the world, but in turn, we can only understand what the believers can see and hear.

"Do you know what the human world looks like in the eyes of the gods? You can imagine it. When I was still on the throne of the gods, the world I saw was countless flickering dots in the darkness, and every flickering dot of light They are all believers with pious beliefs. Around their light spots, a small space is illuminated, which is the area that their sense organs can perceive. The vision of the gods is composed of these countless light spots and their surrounding areas. 'bright regions', and rely on them to piece together a recognizable world.

"And when I set my sights on the Violet Kingdom... all I saw there was darkness, not even a shimmer of light, let alone a 'vision'."

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

In fact, he was just asking casually, because the area that Amon himself had influenced was limited to the southern part of the mainland, and believers in the God of Nature in the northern region were rare, and the Violet Kingdom was a very closed place, and he had never heard of it What kind of beliefs in the natural field do they still have in them—but he still holds a hope in his heart, that is, the tradition of "traveling" passed down by the silver elves since ancient times.

After adulthood, the silver elves will often follow the tradition and travel the entire "world". The powerful high-level rangers even dare to explore the elemental field. I wonder if any elf traveler stepped into the Violet Kingdom in ancient times? If there is, this might become Amoen's gaze...

However, Amoen's answer quickly broke Gawain's expectations. The God of Nature lowered his eyelids, and said with regret in his deep and pleasant voice, "Sorry, I have never looked beyond that strait—there is nothing wrong with me. It’s also pitch black.”

Gawain nodded, put his chin on his fingers and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he thought of something: "Wait, Ms. Milmina, I remember the Violet Kingdom from six hundred years ago. From the very beginning, there was a new tradition. They would select talented 'apprentices' from the Loren Continent to go to the City of Thousand Towers. Most of these so-called apprentices were Loren spellcasters who already had certain strength. Among these spellcasters Is there no one who can be your 'eyes'?"

"I also know this tradition—although I don't respond to the prayers of believers in this world, I have been paying attention to the changes in the world. I still understand things outside the Violet Kingdom," Mirmina nodded, "It's really strange to think about it at this time... During the six hundred years, the Violet Kingdom has selected a large number of apprentices from the Loren Continent, and none of them really believed in me, even though some of them later Became my disciples, but at least at the age when they were chosen as 'apprentices', they have not yet established a belief in the 'Goddess of Magic'..."

Mirmina's speaker was unintentional, while Gao Wen's listener was interested. His eyes froze for an instant, as if lightning flashed across his heart, and a clue that no one had thought of came to mind just like that.

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

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

"Violet is a country of mages, and the criterion for selecting apprentices is that they cannot believe in the goddess of magic..."

Amoen has been listening silently without interjecting, and suddenly couldn't help but said: "Isn't it a bit early to draw this conclusion at this time?"

"...Indeed, we can't come to this conclusion now," Gao Wen said after a moment of silence, nodding slightly, "but at least the existing clues can gather one point: from six hundred years ago to today, all the people who have been allowed to enter The mage apprentices studying in the City of 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's the reason behind this?" Amon seemed to be finally interested in this topic, and he asked again, "A country with a large population prevents a certain belief from spreading in its own country with such a strict attitude." , This is something that no country on the Loren Continent has ever done—this is not easy in this world. They must have a reason for doing this, right?"

"And what they did was so successful..." Mirmina on the side added, "'There is no gleam at all', although I don't care about this matter, the abnormality of this matter itself is It is worthy of attention. I don’t know the exact population of the Violet Kingdom, but there is a good saying of mortals—where there are mortals living together, there is a soil of faith. Mortals will always encounter suffering, and among the mortals who encounter suffering, there will always be someone who prays , there are countless spellcasters in the Violet Kingdom, haven't they encountered a big problem that they can't solve for thousands of years? You should mention my name when you curse..."

The voice of Mirmina in the second half of the sentence was obviously lower, and Gawain couldn't help but glance at her more, while Amoen's voice came from the side: "You tell the truth—do you really not care?"

Mirmina said casually, "Do you think I care about my free and easy attitude?"

"...It's what you say."

Gao Wen didn't care about the seemingly daily disruptive interaction between Mirmina and Amorn, he was already lost in thought.

The Goddess of Magic is right - such a large kingdom is still dominated by mages, and there is not even a single member who believes in the Goddess of Magic. The reasons behind the criteria for selecting "apprentices" beyond the Violet Kingdom...

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

Amoen and Mirmina noticed that Gao Wen fell silent in his thinking, and they stopped at the same time. I don't know how long it took before Mirmina said suddenly: "You just mentioned that some of the actions of the Violet Kingdom are impressive to you. Come 'very suspicious', what is the specific situation?"

There is no need to hide this matter, Gao Wen sorted it out a little, and told the former goddess in front of him what he had just discovered: "It's a technical black box—a technical black box with a full scope, a long time, and it is difficult to explain it by coincidence." .which includes a large number of traditional domains…”

After a detailed narration, Gao Wen's voice fell, and Amorn spoke after thinking for a while: "This can be considered from the perspective of secrecy requirements and national interests—and to be honest, after you apply rune logic to this Before this kind of thing is established, this kind of black-box technology inheritance is the norm in this world, and those things that can be analyzed and disassembled are rare, and even despised by mainstream academic groups."

Gao Wen nodded: "It's true to say that, but considering the various anomalies displayed by the Violet Kingdom, the 'black box' they spread...it's hard not to let people pay attention."

Mirmina has not spoken since listening to Gawain's narration just now. She was silent for a long time, which finally caught Amoen's attention. The God of Nature glanced at her: "What did you think of?" ?”

"I'm guessing... what those violet mages want to do," Mirmina said softly as if talking to herself without looking up, "'Black box magic', the encapsulation of technology and knowledge will not affect As far as the inheritance and effectiveness of spells, even to a certain extent, even with the existence of a black box, mages can still carry out 'research' and 'personal refinement', which is determined by the special nature of magic.

"So, the black box spells spread by the Violet mages will not affect the establishment of Loren's magic system and the growth of Loren's spellcasters, so at least to a certain extent, these 'obstacles' they set up are not for themselves national security or retard the development of competitors - I mean if they see the land of Loren as a competitor.

"What they want to achieve should be something else - if they have such a 'purpose' at all."

"Just say what comes to mind," Amoen urged, "There are no outsiders here."

"Let me remind you." Mirmina didn't care about Amorn, but turned her attention to Gao Wen, "If there are more and more 'black boxes' in a magic system, and even gradually develop into all the most basic elements of the entire system Theories are also made up of black boxes; if all the powers mastered by spellcasters are in an unexplainable state, people can only chant ancestral spellcasting mantras as if they were chanting classic prayers, and no one knows the meaning behind those symbols. Mathematical logic and energy rules; if rational analysis and research behaviors are completely suppressed, scholars will no longer pursue the knowledge behind the technology, but only know the miraculous effects produced by the encapsulated spell models. This situation will last for a long time. What will it lead to?"

Gao Wen finally understood the deep meaning of Mirmina's words, and the answer behind it made his expression stern for a moment: "...magic will become a miracle."

"This is just my speculation." Mirmina said calmly.
