Chapter 451 Wizard and Apostle
Ms. Ta didn't stay in the ruined temple for too long, and left soon, leaving Yago alone.
Yago didn't have much reaction to Ms. Ta's claim that she was the "Phantom of the Apostle".
He has always guessed Ms. Tower's identity as a "wizard".
A wizard who is hostile to the power of the Church.
but
However, Yago is not clear about who the "wizard" is.
He doesn't know the exact concept of a "wizard" in this world.
In the previous life, the broad meaning of "wizard" in Chinese was "a person who uses magic".
However, as he specializes in religion and folklore, wizards are often associated with "demons", "gods" and "death".
In the Celestial Dynasty, "wizard" actually refers to the priests who sacrificed ghosts and gods in primitive society, the source of the so-called "witchcraft",
Before the Shang and Yin Dynasties, the clergy who were responsible for handling funeral affairs were the early Confucianists, or wizards and warlocks.
In the Celestial Dynasty, it was a custom to use local words to explain things that were refuted by the outside world.
Even if this world that seems to be related to "Wizard Sequence" has no oriental background, "Wizard" is also a word related to "God".
Before Christianity was introduced to Europe, the clergy of various "worship of all souls" religions were so-called "wizards".
In the previous life, the most primitive worship in all parts of the world was basically the worship of all spirits, some of which were fused with the lost human spirits, and gradually turned to ancestor worship, and some of them were personified and legendary, and developed into polytheism.
These witch priest priests often claim that they can communicate with all spirits, communicate with gods, and know heaven, earth, and destiny.
Druids and shamans are the most typical "wizards".
However, the image of the most well-known wizard in today's world was not formed until after Christianity spread to Europe.
Just like Judaism, the predecessor of Christianity, this type of monotheism often labels other civilizations as "demons". Those who believe in demons will naturally be attacked as religious enemies.
The polytheistic belief in the Canaan region was shaped into many demon gods, and the same is true for the polytheistic belief in the European region.
All kinds of primitive druids and shamans are often regarded as enemies by followers of Christianity, that is, Christianity and Eastern Christianity.
These priests of All Souls and polytheism will also be labeled as "devils of faith".
This can be seen from the fact that "wizards" and "witches" are often associated with demons.
Of course, they have a collective name called——
"Magician".
Compared with the "wizard", which is more inclined to the image of "witch doctor and priest", "magician" was more familiar with the image of "a person who uses magic" in his previous life.
"Wizard" is a unified concept developed from the beliefs of all spirits and polytheisms, and when Christian beliefs moved into Europe, the specific concept of "wizard and witch" was formed.
The concept of "magician" is also a concept closely related to "demon" and "demon god", and it is also closely related to the image of "wizard".
It is said that it developed from the Canaan region and from the image of priests demonized by Christianity in Egypt, and it is also said that it developed from the image of "wizard".
But in short, the word "wizard" is basically inseparable from "god" in Yago's impression.
"Ms. Tower" is a "wizard" and an "apostle". In his understanding, there is no conflict.
On the contrary, it gave him a lot of associations.
Because the word "apostle" comes from the concepts of Judaism and Christianity.
"Wizard" is a polytheistic concept of clergy.
"Apostle" is the concept of priests in monotheism.
Phantom of the apostles?
wizard?
This ruined temple is called the "Corridor of Stars" by "Miss Tower".
And before, when he was in Dilud City, he heard from Elsa about a god who had returned to nothingness.
"The ring of illusion and reality, the distant light that travels in illusions, the lord of the endless stars—"
"Snake of the Stars"
When he heard the name "Star Corridor", he thought of the "Snake of the Stars" who had returned to nothingness.
If Ms. "Tower" is an "apostle", whose apostle is it?
The old god who has returned to nothingness, the apostle of the "Snake of the Stars"?
What is the relationship between the "Snake of the Stars" and the "Star Clan" in the Blue Blood Clan?
What is the relationship between Ms. Tower and the "Black Bell Church"?
Yago didn't know.
He couldn't even determine Ms. "Tower"'s purpose.
What is the purpose of establishing an organization, a church-like organization?
For the rebirth of the Serpent of the Stars?
He has not forgotten what Uncle Sandor taught him.
The gods will return to nothingness, but they will also be born again, returning to the boundless deep space with new "responsibilities" and new "authorities".
Although this statement itself may be false, it is still a possibility.
or.
Lady "Tower" wants to be the new "God"?
Yago, who came from the past and modern times, came from the celestial dynasty, but there is no such thing as "God is determined by God". The concept of cultivating immortals and gods made Yago never feel that people cannot become gods.
This is from the point of view of fantasy, and from the point of view of reality, the Celestial Dynasty is a country where ancestors are worshipped, and ancestors becoming gods is an important part of Chinese culture, and it has a realistic element.
It's just that there are all kinds of magical powers in this world.
Why on earth did Ms. "Tower" become a "companion" with him?
Although it might be just a temporary companion, he couldn't be sure that Ms. "Tower" would always be friendly to him, but at least for now, the two should have the same interests to a certain extent.
Looking at the silver key in his left hand and the music box in his right hand, various thoughts kept appearing in Yago's mind.
Wait a moment.
Become a god?
Cthulhu?
Black Bell Church?
Are the churches against the Black Bell Church?
Yago, who has seen the magnificent fantasy of various works in his previous life, a strange idea popped up in his mind.
Should not.
The Black Bell Church has mastered the means to become a god, right?
Although it was just a fantasy without any substantive evidence, the moment this idea emerged, it was out of control.
He looked at the silver key engraved with stars and the music box with black casing in his hand, and became serious.
If it is said, it is if.
If this conjecture is true, then what is the "tool" of the wizard, his gatekeeper mask?
What is the connection between the "tools" of these wizards and "becoming a god"?
Did the people he met who were competing for the mask know about this news?
