MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 415 wizards and gods
The truth of the world?
Colin almost subconsciously recalled Caesar's unreasonable words back then.
The Supreme Council is actually hiding something from ordinary wizards?
Noyce took Colin and continued to walk deep into the synagogue. Next to the high steps where the Supreme Councilor was, there was an inconspicuous small door, which was opened by casting a spell. The door was a narrow stone staircase.
However, this staircase is not going down, but going up.
Going up the old stairs, Noyce finally brought Colin to the highest point of the building.
Colin looked around. Here is a square platform, which should be on the roof of the council hall below.
There are no walls, and a translucent shield looms around the surroundings. In the middle of the platform is a golden circular base, with a translucent sphere floating above it, which looks a bit like a globe from a previous life.
"Colin, when did you first hear the word god?"
Noyce walked slowly towards the base in the middle of the platform.
"I can't remember clearly, probably when I was very young." Colin replied.
He had heard of the concept of gods in his previous life, and the original owner of this world seemed to have known the concept of gods before he was taken to Heishi Island.
"Then have you ever wondered where they all come from?" Noyes stretched out his arm towards the golden base, and asked again suddenly.
"Where did the gods... come from?" Colin was slightly taken aback, trying to search the memory in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest answer.
Kaka—
The countless gears in the golden circular base in front of me occluded and turned suddenly,
"The concept of gods has existed since ancient times, but 'gods' only appeared thousands of years ago." Noyce continued.
"Of course, the gods we talked about earlier are not the same thing as these creatures who call themselves gods now."
"In the age of ignorance, people were afraid of the mighty power of nature, so they imagined unwarranted gods as their spiritual sustenance.
But they are just the spiritual sustenance of ordinary people, without substance, and they don't really exist. Even if it really exists, it is probably some monsters and monsters. "
"But in the period of human weakness and ignorance, wizards have not yet appeared, everyone believes in the existence of gods, and knights form churches to rule in the name of gods.
In this way, nearly 10,000 years have passed, until more than 3,000 years ago, the Yanan wizard appeared. "
"By researching the priests of the Holy See, he figured out that the so-called great power bestowed by the gods is just a natural product like flames. As long as they have some kind of talent, then no matter who they are, they can use this so-called power from the gods."
"So the magic energy revolution started, and wizards appeared, overthrowing the rule of the Holy See."
"The brilliance of human nature and knowledge gradually shines, and the people gradually understand that there are no gods in the world. Behind all terrible and unknown phenomena, logic and knowledge can explain their essence."
"Then there was a glorious time, the fall of the Holy See, the start of the magic energy revolution... All kinds of knowledge ushered in a big explosion, and the power of the wizards became stronger and stronger, and soon surpassed the elves and giants. Dragon, become the real overlord of this world."
Noyce narrated in a slow voice. The magnetic voice seemed to bring Colin back to those glorious years, and his heart shook.
It turns out that the history of this world turned out to be like this.
It turned out to be a world ruled by the Holy See before, and wizards have only appeared for more than three thousand years?
The magic energy revolution is similar to the industrial revolution in the previous life, but the world is different, resulting in different forms of display.
Well... If you think so, according to the time of the first industrial revolution on the earth, the time of more than three thousand years is actually not short, which is equivalent to the 50th century in the previous life.
Knowledge is indeed the primary productive force, and it is the same in any world... Colin is a little emotional.
If it wasn’t for the magic revolution, the world might still be ruled by the church, full of ignorance and ignorance.
But if the gods in the past were all false, where did these gods come from now?
嗡—
At this time, the golden device in front of him was fully activated, and the originally translucent spherical shape suddenly became solid.
‘Is this really a globe? ’ Colin was slightly startled.
After the translucent sphere became solid, what appeared was exactly the appearance of the planet under his feet.
On the side facing them, there was a huge brown area, and Colin also saw some familiar mountains and plains in it, which was obviously the continent of Siya.
"This is the whole picture of our Yanan world, it is spherical, a little incredible?" Noyce said with a smile.
"It's really unbelievable..." Colin looked up at the dark sky and replied in a low voice.
It looks like a planet from any angle, but you can’t see any other stars in this extremely high place... Is the world of Yanan really located in the universe?
Colin was a little hesitant. He really came to a parallel world completely different from his previous life.
Not only do wizards exist, even the universe seems to be completely different from the previous life.
No wonder he was still unable to figure out stable electricity like in his previous life.
"Your Excellency Noyce, you haven't told me where the current gods come from?" Colin continued to ask.
Noyce didn’t make a fool of himself either, he stroked the model of the Yharnam world in front of him and said, “From the Star Realm.”
Shua!
Following the movements of Noyce's hands, Colin suddenly found a faint black outline on the outer layer of the ball in front of him.
"This is the sub-star realm." Noyce accepted, and then moved his fingers lightly.
Shua!
Outside the light black outline, a complex area suddenly appeared, some of which were as dark as a sub-star world, some of which shone with colorful streamers, but most of them were still misty gray.
"This is the astral world, the blank area between worlds."
“If every world is compared to a glass bead soaked in water, then the astral world is the water wrapped around each glass bead.
The astral world is vast and mysterious, and we currently know very little about it. "
Noyce was a little emotional, and then said:
"But one thing is known—the astral world is not safe."
"The present group of gods suddenly invaded from the star realm on a certain day thousands of years ago. The purpose is for faith and to rule the world.
As for the specific reason for the invasion, it is impossible to test. Some say that we were too unlucky and happened to be targeted, and some say that it was because some wizards went to the astral world and then accidentally lured them here.
But no matter what, this group of weird beings claim to be gods, and they also possess god-like power. "
Speaking of this, Noyce suddenly smiled, "Maybe they can take over the world a thousand years earlier."
"But we just overthrew them, how can we extinguish the light of humanity and knowledge, and let the darkness of ignorance come again?"
"From birth, wizards are destined to stand against the gods." Noyce stared at Colin, and finally said.
Colin nodded, deeply convinced.
If you want him to give up his free thoughts and devote himself to ignorance, he can only pray devoutly every day, act according to rigid dogma, and kneel before the gods fanatically...he is definitely not willing.
If you become such a puppet at the mercy of others and don't have anything of your own, then you might as well die.
Colin thought for a while and then said: "What about that war? Your Excellency Noyce, can you tell me about the war that the wizards won a thousand years ago?"
"I was just about to tell you about that war, that tragic war where wizards were almost wiped out."
Noyce smiled, but his eyes gradually became serious and sharp as the words fell.
"Strictly speaking, we can't count as winning that war. If we have to say it, it can only be regarded as a tragic victory."
"A tragic victory on the verge of extinction?" Colin was stunned, the version he heard from the folks was not like this.
In his inherent impression, he always thought that the wizard's victory that year was a big victory...
"Yes, a miserable victory." Noyce sighed, "Where should I start?"
He stroked the beard on his chin, "Well, a thousand years ago, there was no filthy raving in this world at all. Those filthy ravings are the biggest scars left on this world by the last war."
"The so-called filthy raving, there is another name in the mouths of **** believers-'Shenwei'."
"In fact, it's not wrong to call it that way. Those filthy ravings are indeed the products of gods. In the eyes of ignorant believers of gods, as long as they do what gods hate most—research knowledge, that is, when they steal the authority of gods, they will be punished. Its punishment is to become a monster that is neither human nor ghost."
"It's a bit stupid." Colin shook his head.
Noyce smiled, "Yes, we know that this is purely the negative impact of filthy raving, and the study of knowledge has nothing to do with the authority of the gods.
But there will always be ordinary people who will believe such rhetoric, and as long as their hearts are shaken, the gods can further confuse people's hearts with the help of ubiquitous dirty ravings. "
"Gods can still confuse people through dirty ravings?"
"Yes, not only ordinary people, wizards may also be affected." Noyce replied, "We don't know how this is done for the time being, and sometimes even I hear some weird things but can't find them." to the ravings of the source."
"This sounds no different from the legendary gods." Colin was a little speechless.
"Yes." Noyce rubbed the ball beside him, his face darkened.
"However, I believe that they are not omnipotent gods. There must be reasons behind this that we have not yet understood." Colin said, with a thoughtful look on his brows.
In his previous life, he was a materialist. Even after coming to this world and seeing these extraordinary powers, he still insisted on this concept.
Whether it is witchcraft or knight cultivation, there is a set of self-consistent and reasonable logic behind it.
He does not believe that there is any real idealism. If there is something similar, it must be an illusion caused by his own lack of knowledge.
"That's right, they are by no means omnipotent gods." Noyce glanced at him, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
"But they are indeed a formidable enemy," Noyce continued:
“In the war thousands of years ago, the wizards and all races paid a huge price, blood even dyed the sea red for a time.
But even so, the real battlefield of that war was the sub-star and astral worlds outside the world. "
"If you want to break through the barriers of the world and reach the sub-star and star realms, the minimum requirement is level four."
"The wizards at that time had experienced more than two thousand years of development, and they were at their peak. There were not a few wizards who could break the barriers of the world, but they still couldn't defeat the invading gods."
"However, at the last moment, eighteen extremely powerful wizards suddenly appeared... I don't know the specific battle process, but in the end, all the gods were blocked from the world of Yanan, and many of them were even sealed. deep sleep."
"As for the wizards, after the war, among the eighteen wizards who managed to turn the tide, there were only six left. And they are the six Supreme Councilors today."
"It's just that thousands of years have passed, and the number of supreme councilors has not decreased, but it has not increased either."
Noyce continued, with puzzlement in his eyes.
"What is the strength of the Supreme Councilor?" Colin asked aloud.
To his surprise, Noyce shook his head when faced with this question.
"I only know that they are very strong, much stronger than me as a fourth-order wizard."
The Supreme Councilors are mysterious. They have lived from thousands of years ago to the present, and there are few intelligent life forms at the same time in the whole world.
So no one really knows their strength, and no one has even seen their true appearance.
"In short, I am telling you this because I hope you understand that the situation in the world of Yanan is not optimistic."
"Although the bodies of those gods were sealed in the astral world, the seals have been loosened over the past thousand years, and the movement they caused is getting bigger and bigger. In recent years, real clones have even appeared instead of projections."
"However, looking at the wizard side, due to the influence of filthy ravings, the spread of knowledge has been greatly hindered, and the research and innovation of various witchcrafts have stagnated. Compared with a thousand years ago, they are not much advanced. The more so."
"We tried to study the foul raving, but after thousands of years, there was no progress, and there was still nothing to do with her. Even in the early days, a large number of high-level wizards died because of it."
"So in order to preserve vitality, the Supreme Council restricted the research of knowledge."
"Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the whole world has also changed. Traditional knowledge and inheritance have become more and more important. Compared with innovation, wizards are more willing to learn from the past and less dangerous witchcraft. So pure blood and mixed blood are getting more and more..."
Colin listened silently to Noyce's ramblings, unable to calm down for a long time.
‘The situation in the world of Yanan is not optimistic. ’…Noyce’s words are still too optimistic.
‘This world is about to be destroyed, and only the wise can continue to live. '
In contrast, although what Caesar said a few days ago was harsh, it was more true.
Although Noyce said it very euphemistically, in simple terms, the wizard side is in decline, while the **** side is returning strongly.
Colin had no idea what the declining wizards would do against the fully revived gods when the future war was about to break out.
Will there be eighteen wizards who turn the tide again?
Or can it only rely on the current six supreme councilors?
Colin raised his head, the sub-star world above was as dark as ink, but there was no light to be seen. An inexplicable feeling of oppression squeezed his chest, making him almost out of breath.
No wonder the Supreme Council concealed this information.
If it is known to the general public, it is likely that the internal chaos will have occurred before the gods have fully recovered, and there is no hope of victory.
Is this world about to end... Colin whispered silently in his heart, and silently clenched his fists.
Noyce smiled slightly upon seeing this.
Some people are like grass, they bend when they are pressed, and maybe even sap comes out, but Colin is obviously not that kind of person. He believes that such news cannot defeat the wizard in front of him.
"That's about what I want to tell you." Noyce continued, "Go back and prepare for the awarding ceremony of the members of the Supreme Council in a few days."
"By the way, do you need anything now? Magic stones, knowledge?"
"I need the third-order Xi Sheng meditation idea, it would be better if I can get some other third-order meditation ideas." Colin paused, not polite.
"Well, I'll take you to rubbing." Noyce nodded.
A surprise flashed across Colin's face.
"You are already a member of the Supreme Council, and it's nothing more than a third-order meditation idea." Noyes smiled, and then asked: "I will inform you about the specific schedule of the emblem awarding ceremony later. "
"Be prepared, there will be a lot of people there, and that will be your first challenge as an MP."
"Okay." Colin nodded in a deep voice.
