The silver queen speaker had no intention. Gawain was interested in the audience. With a slight movement in his heart, he felt that this topic seemed weird—let the former **** of nature talk to the devout believers who didn’t want to forget the past? Let’s go about it... it’s probably just a whimsical idea for the Silver Queen, but it seems physically feasible to Gawain...
The "god" is still watching "TV" in his backyard. According to the report of the monitoring team, he spends at least 20 hours on the Internet a day...
But then again, what should Amone say to those persistent believers? How can a group of elves who have been obsessed for three thousand years give up their obsessions safely and securely? Let the **** of nature perform on the spot and die again...
Gawain shook his head lightly, and hurriedly tossed off the weird thought that had suddenly appeared somehow. He knew that this thought was just thinking about it. In any case, he didn't dare to let Amorn and the outside world casually. Re-contact with mortals-even if you just say a word to them and show your deeds once, the risk behind this event is too great, and it is very likely that Amoen, who has left the position of God, will reconnect with the divine authority. The benefits are unpredictable.
He can't casually consume the fruits of the three thousand years of White Star's fall in this kind of joke-like behavior.
But...if you change the method...change your mind...
Gawain couldn't help but fell into thinking, but his thinking was quickly interrupted by the Silver Queen. Bersetia cast a somewhat curious look: "What are you thinking?"
"...It's nothing, some trivial things," Gawain awakened from his thoughts. He glanced at Bersetia, and some plans emerged in his heart, but soon he temporarily suppressed these unformed ideas, and he lifted At the beginning, I looked at a mechanical clock not far away, and saw that the pointer on it was gradually reaching the highest point, "The rest time is almost...Let's go back to the meeting."
In the oath stone ring, representatives of all parties have also returned to their positions one after another-in fact, most of the representatives did not even leave the stone ring at all. During the limited 30-minute break, they seized the time to contact other representatives , To grasp the situation as much as possible, in order to be able to gain a better grasp of the situation, even those who leave are communicating with their own teams, seeking advice from think tanks and intelligence assistance-no one really knows In this short time, empty your brain, because everyone knows that this meeting has come to an end, and the real relaxation is best left until the stone ring opens again.
After confirming that all the representatives returned to their positions and the staff outside Shihuan were also ready, Bersetia stood up from her position, took a quiet glance at the audience, and lifted up slightly. Right hand: "Then, according to the meeting process, the oath of the stone ring is now blocked. Except for life-threatening situations, the blocked state will continue until the end of this closed-door meeting."
The Silver Queen’s voice fell, and a deep buzzing sound had sounded from the edge of the venue. Immediately after that, the surface of the magnificent stone pillars suddenly showed layers of magical brilliance, and countless ancient and difficult runes emerged from the stone wall. And spread out like petals, connected to each other in the air to form a light green rune curtain wall, followed by brilliance wandering, the runes quickly filled with diffused light and shadow-just a few seconds later, the entire vow A luxuriant, endless dense forest rose outside the stone ring. The original wasteland scene and the distant town scenery were all replaced by this sudden emergence of dense forest, and no trace of it was visible.
Outside of the oath stone ring, the teams waiting in the rest area did not see the "dense forest". They just watched the huge ancient ceremonial field shrouded in light, and disappeared into the wilderness in the next second. ——Many people got a little commotion because of this, but after seeing the Elf Affairs Officer, Typhon and Cecil's work team still quietly resting beside the venue, the commotion soon calmed down.
Inside the oath stone ring, the Silver Queen ended her "reversal" on the ceremonial venue. After she sat down again, Gao Wen stood up: "Then we start this meeting. Presumably many people have experienced so much. After Tian’s meeting, we have realized that topic we have always deliberately avoided, so now...it’s time to face the biggest trouble: about the gods of our world."
In the hall that became deserted due to the reduction in the number of people, many representatives moved their bodies slightly in their seats. Some people's complexions changed slightly, some subconsciously fell into thinking, some people clenched their fists and knocked their foreheads, but no one was in front of this topic. Exclaimed gaffe. As Gawain said, after so many days of meetings, I have seen the images left on the battlefield of Typhon-Cecile, and learned of the disaster in Tarrond, any wise People should guess the content of this closed-door meeting at this moment.
"At this point, I don't think anyone will question the authenticity of the materials we saw at the opening of the meeting," Gao Wen continued after a short pause. "What I want to say is that the materials are far from All——
"As early as a few years ago, Cecil had already been exposed to this part of the truth, and Typhon faced the'dark side of the gods' even earlier than Cecil. Even going back to the ancient Gondor era, some prophets The enlightened people faced this dark reality. They were called the'rebels', and spent their entire lives looking for a way to fight against fate...
"This is what I want to say: This is not a crisis that is suddenly exposed to mortals. In fact, this crisis has been accompanied by our civilization for thousands of years and thousands of years. Many people have faced and confronted them in the long years. Have tried to fight against it. This is a "dark river" in the development of our civilization. Most people don't know its existence, but it has always flowed in the depths of our history."
"This sounds too general," the leader of the Union of Uttar Pradesh stood up. "Can you have more detailed information that can help us quickly grasp the situation?"
"Yes, the information is placed in a secret compartment under your desk," Gawain nodded, "You can read it yourself. We explained the situation in as simple and clear as possible. If you still have questions during the reading process , You can speak at any time."
Under the banner of the Ogure tribal nation, Wenna Baizhi quickly found the information Gao Wen said in the grid under the stone table-to her surprise, this was not one that was widely used in the previous agenda. It’s a high-quality manuscript paper, but a roll of parchment with a faintly elven style and a slightly shiny surface. When the roll was opened, she saw a few shiny runes flashing from the edge of the paper. However, this distinctive feature made her instantly realize what this thing is:
A magical secret deed. The biggest effect of this secret deed is that it cannot be copied in any form, cannot be overwritten or tampered in any form after it is made, cannot be taken out of a specific area, and can only be opened once.
Gao Wen’s voice came from not far away: “In order to ensure data security, we have to distribute the data in the form of magical secret deeds. This is not a question of anyone present, but a matter of the gods and the process. Safety must be taken seriously."
The leaders or plenipotentiary ambassadors from various countries have no doubts. They lowered their heads and began to read the information stored in the magic secret deed. With the blessing of speed reading spells, huge amounts of information were transformed into their minds with extremely high efficiency. As those ancient, terrifying truths and recent research results were revealed one by one, a solemn and solemn atmosphere began to take shape in the oath stone ring.
The expression on everyone's face became serious, and some people have even begun to gently wipe the fine sweat from their foreheads.
After an unknown period of time, a female leader with long red hair stood up first: "Is there no accurate measurement of the countdown mentioned here? We have no way to measure it? "
"Unfortunately, this is beyond our current knowledge," Gawain shook his head slightly. "The gods are in different situations, and the observation of the gods itself will lead to powerful reverse pollution-people who try to calculate the countdown will He mutated and died due to divine pollution before he had time to come to the conclusion. This was confirmed by many pioneers who sacrificed for this in the Gondor era a thousand years ago.
"Of course, now our technology has developed to a certain extent. Cecil is trying various methods that can effectively resist divine pollution, and preliminary results have been achieved. If our protection technology is sufficiently advanced, perhaps one day we can Directly observe the kingdom of God, and even directly monitor the state of a certain god-but I don't know when this day will come."
"...Monitoring the kingdom of God and the gods, this sounds like a terrible plan," another representative couldn't help but whispered, "but..."
"But we must do this," Rosetta broke the silence, and the Typhon ruler looked at the representative with a deep and solemn gaze. "Typhon has used his own blood to prove the consequences of the loss of control of the gods-this countdown. It really exists, and as long as mortal civilization is still developing, it will never stop. Even if we only slightly extend the average life span of the people and increase some population, we are increasing the changes in thoughts and increasing the loss of control of the gods. risk."
"To stop the countdown, we must stop all development behaviors, even considering that the experience and knowledge of the intelligent race itself is passively accumulated. We must consciously destroy the population, destroy knowledge, block technology, and return to the ancestral life," Belcetia Suddenly, her voice was soft, but it echoed in the entire oath stone ring with a certain penetrating power, "Who is willing to accept this price?"
Quiet momentarily in the conference hall, the delegates looked at each other, and obviously no one was willing to accept this terrible result.
What's more...Even if such an extreme method is used to stop the crazy countdown of the gods, there is more than one crisis in this world. What about the magic wave? What about the dangerous natural environment? What about the surrounding crisis after the decline of national power? Those who can sit here are not stupid people, no one will choose to cut all limbs in order to avoid falling.
What the Queen Silver mentioned was obviously an unacceptable choice from the beginning.
"Then we have the most basic consensus," Gao Wen broke the silence at this moment, his voice is steady and strong, "The development and progress of civilization is what we need to survive, and we cannot stagnate, let alone accept the retrogression-the result of this Changes in ideological trends are also inevitable. Problems will not disappear out of thin air, and only solutions can be found. This is the premise of everything."
No one objected to this, because everything was obvious, but after a short silence, a leader from the southwestern region of the mainland couldn’t help standing up: “Then, must we treat the gods as enemies?”
"This is the first thing we are going to do in this meeting-to determine the gods," Gao Wen glanced at the representative quietly, and then he retracted his gaze to purify his expression and said in a deep voice, "Thousands of years. Even for tens of thousands of years, faith has always been an important part of the lives of all ethnic groups in Loren. In any case, we must acknowledge its positive role in the development of civilization, and this positive role is still in effect today. , There is no true "state of the faithless" among the member states of the alliance. All of our countries have their own Holy See powers, and religious activities are closely related to our people. We cannot violently and directly remove religion from us. It’s a fact that they are separated from their social activities.
"Under the above two premises, is the'god' really our enemy?
"The disobedience of a thousand years ago was indeed so qualitative. They believed that God was clearly the enemy of civilization, even if not now, sooner or later-pioneers are respectable, but unfortunately, as we know Progress, we also have to question the original views of the pioneers.
"More and more evidences show that the gods have no subjective malice towards civilization from beginning to end. In fact, due to the influence of ideological trends, their goodwill towards civilization is the mainstream; secondly, the crazy "countdown" of the gods itself is also It is not the subjective will of any party. This is the result of the operation of the laws of nature. Unfortunately, no **** can be responsible for this law; in the end, after the gods go crazy, they will indeed cause devastating damage to civilization, but they are in Before that, they did not take the initiative to cause any damage, and even on the contrary-as long as conditions permit, the gods will actually take the initiative to stop this crazy tendency, and they will take some self-help behavior.
"As for the'self-help behavior', we cannot disclose too detailed information for the time being, but I can guarantee that Cecil has observed enough evidence to prove that there are signs of actively breaking free from the'yoke' in the gods."
Speaking of this, Gawain deliberately paused, and then continued: “Therefore, I don’t think we should regard gods as enemies or potential enemies-they are just like us, and they are also the natural law of the yoke of thought. The victim, even if an extreme situation such as the Battle of the Winterhold Hunting God occurs, even if a certain **** will stand on the opposite side of civilization someday in the future, we must have a clear understanding and determination of this."
After finished speaking, Gawain finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if letting go of part of his burden.
After so many twists and turns, collecting so much information, and conducting an unknown number of demonstrations, he finally completed the characterization of the relationship between God and man in the cruel "laws" of this world-only for him In its own right, the significance of this incident is actually no less than the establishment of a community alliance.
Only when everything is qualitative can there be a clear direction.
While he was relieved, he also noticed the changes in the expressions on the faces of each representative under the stone pillars.
Almost one-third of the representatives were obviously relieved. Their expressions were still serious, but their faces were no longer so tight, and some inexplicable light even lit up from their eyes...
Gawain sighed softly in his heart.
In this world, after all, it is impossible for too many people to truly "let go" of their gods, even if it is the natural opposition to the theocracy, they are only opposed to the secular powers of priests, not the gods who protect the world. .
