Chapter 1511 Invitation From the Ancient God
In the whole system of the church, believers, gods, and the right to interpret classics, Gao Wen has a set of convenient and pragmatic logic. No explanation, but it is undoubtedly more in line with the operating laws of the real world and the actual state of the current mortal society.
At the same time, he holds the highest power of discourse and the highest interpretation of all the actions of the Theocratic Council, which in a practical sense has the power to define whether any church in the country belongs to the "orthodox faith".
The ideological transformation of the Theocratic Council is a gradual process. It is impossible for Gao Wen to directly destroy all the traditional churches in the country like he bombarded the Crow Terrace, nor can he use guns to forcibly reverse the way of thinking of the group. In this gradual process In the process of guiding, he will inevitably retain some groups of priests who, although conservative, are more able to accept transformation and are more willing to support the New Deal of the Empire. When managing these relatively conservative groups of priests, his highest interpretation of faith Power is the best tool to use.
It’s not that no one feels resentful towards his behavior of “orthodox faith and discipline”. Some opponents even secretly cursed that he, the iron-handed king’s bold and reckless behavior in the field of sacred belief, would sooner or later lead to backlash, and sooner or later he would violate the divine right. And to set fire to himself - those who have this idea even include some people who support his rule, but the latter may be out of genuine worry that some bold actions of His Majesty the Emperor may lead to confrontation between himself and the gods.
But Gao Wen himself was never worried about this risk at all.
Because he has more advanced theoretical knowledge than the priests of the old age, and he knows the truth closer to the real truth than any sacred books—just like the disobedient one thousand years ago, he, the "rebel king of the world", is even better than those in the The rich and poor bishops of the cathedral knew their Lord better, and when he did certain bold acts, he was always sure that the Lord did not care.
Not only did the Lord not care, the Lord even wanted to jump down and burn the cathedral down for Him.
"Now we are not sure whether the gods will respond, not sure which gods will respond - in fact, it is still unknown whether Ms. Said thoughtfully, "But if Ms. Ye really took action, then this action is most likely aimed at the destruction of the 'Shackles of Faith', which is in line with his status as a sailor, and also in line with the current situation between the world and the gods , as long as this shackle is really weakened, the possibility of us receiving a response is very high..."
Amber listened carefully to Gao Wen's analysis, and suddenly felt something: "I always feel that the most important thing in this process is the tacit understanding between gods and mortals...Both parties can only do limited things, spread limited information, and Sometimes you can't even pass on any information, you can only make a look, and then let the other party reason..."
"Yeah, the key is that there must be a tacit understanding between gods and mortals - but the most ironic thing is also here,
Gao Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, "Everyone in the world believes in gods for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Priests who strictly follow the scriptures, even if you kill them, they don’t know how to cooperate with their gods. Even if their gods throw 10,000 glances at the world, believers can only analyze 10,000 ones. The meaningless oracle, their lord is about to be torn apart by faith on the throne, and those believers are still praying hard..."
"In the end, you, who don't believe in gods at all, become the person who knows and understands them best in the world." Amber glanced at Gao Wen with a smile, "even understood from the bottom of her heart."
"Actually, what you said is not quite accurate." Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't believe in God, but I trust them, and I don't fear God, but I respect them—even though I once said they They are regarded as enemies, and even the greatest danger in the world, but this does not affect me to regard them as my best allies now. At least before falling into madness, these gods are much more sincere and credible than any mortal country. "
"Okay, okay, your 'pragmatic spirit' is the best thing about you," Amber waved her hand, and then asked casually, "In addition to setting up anti-theistic barriers in churches everywhere, try to have a direct 'dialogue' with the gods Besides, is there anything else?"
Gao Wen stroked his chin and fell into deep thought, and shook his head lightly after a while: "We have achieved this step at this stage, we are not sure whether the speculation just now is true, and we are not sure whether the state of the gods can withstand further contact." ', rashly trying too much is likely to cause some gods in bad condition to cross that critical point..."
Speaking of this, he paused, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Ah, there is one thing - upgrade the anti-god barrier in the Shadow Garden, and fully cover the entire courtyard according to the highest standard. "
"Garden of Shadows..." Amber probably guessed Gao Wen's thoughts, "Do you think Amoen may receive further 'contact' from the Three Gods of Abundance?"
"After all, the 'invasive plants' that Amorn discovered in the courtyard before are most likely left by the three goddesses," Gawain nodded, "Perhaps their situation is better than other gods, since this The channel is already there, and I don't mind betting more."
Amber nodded immediately: "Understood, I will arrange this when I get back."
Then Gao Wen thought for a while, and made sure that he hadn't missed anything. Then he took a breath and let his racing mind cool down a bit. After that, his eyes fell on Amber involuntarily, and he didn't move away for a long time. Of course, the strange staring couldn't hide the latter's feeling, Hu Po twisted her neck subconsciously: "Why are you looking at me like that..."
Gao Wen stared at her for several seconds, and then said in a worried tone: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Amber was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled, "Actually, I'm more or less used to it now, the strange dreams that pop up suddenly, the 'contact' with Ms. Things... Anyway, these things don't affect my life now, even thinking about it from another angle, some of them are still useful, so I don't think there is anything to worry about, anyway, let's take it one step at a time - the big deal When you have the opportunity to meet Ms. Ye, ask carefully what he wants to do..."
Seeing the calm and unrestrained attitude of the Shadow Assault Goose, even though Gao Wen was still worried, he couldn't help showing a smile: "You guys have always been open-minded, but it's a pity that it's so easy to find Ms. Ye. It's impossible for a dignified ancient god to send us a letter inviting us to visit his house..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps suddenly coming from the direction of the corridor, and then Hetty's voice sounded from the door following the knock on the door: "Ancestor, can I come in? News from the north."
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and then he didn't bother to analyze whether this was the "intuition" of the legendary powerhouse, so he responded: "Come in."
The door of the study room was pushed open, and Hetty pushed the door and walked in. She saw Amber standing in front of the ancestor's desk at first sight, but she was not surprised by it, and she nodded and greeted her as usual. Then he quickly came to Gao Wen: "Ancestor, the Grand Consul of Victoria has sent information that the team that landed on Violet Island to investigate the situation has made amazing progress."
The weird "intuition" in his heart became more and more agitated, and Gao Wen couldn't help adjusting his sitting posture, staring into Hetty's eyes: "Amazing progress? What did Mordir's team find on the island?"
"They met...'people' on the island," Hetty paused as she said this, subconsciously glanced at Amber who was standing beside her with a puzzled face, "First of all, it was a mysterious girl named 'Morning Star' , the other party claimed to be an officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and..."
In the next ten minutes, Hetty reported all the information from the north. She tried her best to maintain her emotional calm and the straightness and accuracy of her words and sentences. The astonishing amount of information in Amber’s wide-eyed eyes, the mysterious girl who claimed to be a member of the Shadow Affairs Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the group of monuments left after the disappearance of the Violet Kingdom, the continuously running magic intelligence, and most importantly, the most amazing——from the night Ma'am, an invitation from the city of a thousand towers.
Gao Wen almost failed to maintain his majesty as an ancestor - if it wasn't for the lack of space behind the table, he might have jumped up on the spot!
"The above is the whole content of the information." After the report was over, Hetty took half a step back. She obviously knew how shocking the news was, because she had already been stimulated by the astonishing amount of information in the news just now. Yes, "The content disclosed in the intelligence is very astonishing. It is not yet possible to verify the authenticity of the two identities of 'Morning Star' and 'Berna Dido', but their existence is undeniable. The core of Violet Island obviously hides a huge Secret. At present, the exploration team led by Mordir has set off again and continues to advance towards the hinterland of Violet Island. If there is any discovery, we will contact you as soon as possible."
Gao Wen stared at him for several seconds without moving. He woke up when Amber muttered "Mom" in a low voice, and subconsciously muttered: "What did I just say, this is really an invitation..."
Hetty was confused: "Ancestor, what did you say?"
"It's nothing." Gao Wen waved his hand, turned his head to look at Amber, and happened to see the other party staring in this direction with astonished eyes, "Let me confirm, the Military Intelligence Bureau really doesn't have any Shadow Affairs Division, right?"
"Of course not, which department of the Military Intelligence Bureau was not approved by you personally?" Amber immediately replied, "And let alone the Shadow Affairs Division, I'm sure I've never heard of the name 'Morning Star'—although I dare not He said he knew the names of all the operators, but I must have an impression of an elite like a 'senior operator', not to mention that Hetty specifically emphasized the weirdness of the 'Morning Star' in his report just now."
"That's right, we don't have a Shadow Affairs Department," Gao Wen calmed down a little at this time, and the thoughts that were a little confused due to the huge amount of information just now were quickly sorted out, and the clues and rationality returned to his mind, "At least not yet, At least as far as we know there is no..."
Amber suddenly felt that Gao Wen's words seemed to have other meanings: "Why do you say that? Did you think of something?"
Gao Wen's mind was running fast, and some bold ideas had gradually taken shape: "Have you forgotten, we did have a group of officers from the Military Intelligence Bureau who lost contact on Violet Island..."
Amber was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean Silver-eyed Clode and the others? But they..."
"I know, so this is just a guess," Gao Wen shook his head lightly, "After all, we got clues before that the operators who disappeared in the Violet Mist incident did not die, but survived in Lady Ye's country …The operatives of the Military Intelligence Bureau are all the elites you have trained, aren’t they?”
Amber stood there steadfastly, the expression on her face changed several times, and she thought about a lot of things in just a few seconds, and then she muttered softly as if talking to herself: "...if you lose contact with the higher-level organization , the remaining personnel should immediately establish a temporary team on the spot and rebuild the command system. If the personnel are divided and besieged, they should actively organize self-rescue and mutual rescue while rebuilding the command system...Use all available conditions to unite all forces that can be united , do our best to ensure the survival of personnel and preserve organizational functions... Do not sit still under any circumstances, do not give up your mission, maintain loyalty, keep secrets, and wait for support..."
She frowned, looked up at Gao Wen, and saw that the other party was also looking at her calmly.
"You should believe that they can do it." Gao Wen said in a deep voice.
"Of course I believe that Cloade and the other operators who disappeared together at that time can do it," Amber nodded subconsciously, but then hesitated a little, "But according to the information revealed by Wilde, Silver-eyed Cloade and the others were in a hundred Years ago already…”
"Let's keep a bold guess first, after all, apart from this guess, we don't have any other clues to explain the origin of the girl named 'Morning Star'," Gao Wen said with a serious expression, "Now there is still An important issue is the invitation—the invitation obviously came from Ms. Ye, and it was an invitation for us to go to the city of a thousand towers that supposedly disappeared, to be honest, this was beyond my expectation."
Amber blinked, trying to break away from the last topic, looking into Gao Wen's eyes: "Just now you said that it was impossible for Ms. Ye to send us a letter asking us to visit his house..."
"Nonsense, how can you think of this kind of thing with normal logic?" Gao Wen waved his hands a little irritably, and then looked at Amber with strange eyes, "But then again, that girl named Chen Xing is sending a message The mention of 'excellent guards', is that really you?"
"Ah? What do you mean by this reaction?" Amber immediately stared at Gao Wen's skeptical attitude, "The outstanding guards beside you are there other people? Could it be those two dogs in the yard if it's not me?" ?”
Gao Wen thought for a while, and wanted to say that the two dogs in the yard are sometimes more reliable than this one, but considering that saying this might make Amber run wild on the spot and fight with the dogs in the yard, he swallowed the words abruptly. I went back, and turned to have a serious expression: "I am mainly afraid that I will make a mistake. I brought the wrong person in the past."
"Your doubts are outrageous. This clearly refers to..." Amber said subconsciously, and realized halfway through, "Wait, are you really planning to go?"
Gao Wen spread his hands: "Go, why don't you go? I didn't hesitate when Dragon God invited me last time. They are all ancient gods."
Amber rolled her eyes: "To be honest, your comparison is not very auspicious. Last time you went to Tarrond, look at how that place is now..."
Gao Wen: "..."
