Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 461
[Chapter 459 The Risk of Being Watched by God]
According to Morris, the criteria for the God of Wisdom to bestow blessings… seems to be a very delicate thing.
“In most people’s minds, the believers of the God of Wisdom must be scholars with profound knowledge, or eccentric geniuses with amazing talents in a certain field-of course, this kind of cognition cannot be miscalculated, after all, most of the wisdom Believers of the God of God must meet the two conditions of ‘knowledge’ and ‘smartness’, but everything is not absolute.”
Morris sat on a chair near the door of the captain’s cabin, ignoring Shirley’s subtle expression next to him while earnestly explained.
“First of all, being favored by the God of Wisdom does not necessarily require a very high level of knowledge, just like the current dog – it is learning fast, but compared with the ‘regular believers’ who have passed the three rounds of church exams, it is now His academic level is obviously not enough, but it still attracts Laheem’s attention, and in other city-states, there are also many believers and even later famous saints who received revelation before mastering advanced knowledge “
The most notable example of this is that of Professor ‘Colfrod’, a great scholar who received his revelation at the age of sixteen, more than two hundred years ago, as a dock coolie, and even I can’t read at all – after receiving revelation, he has the opportunity to come into contact with the knowledge in books.
“There is another diametrically opposite example. There was a famous scholar in the city-state of Moco, who wanted to gain the favor of the God of Wisdom throughout his life. He passed almost all the examination items of the Academy of Truth, but failed until his death. Seeing the brilliance of Laheem—then the Faculty of Truth posthumously awarded the honorary title of scholar saint, and there are more than one similar cases.”
Duncan stroked his chin thoughtfully: “It sounds like… wisdom God’s ‘enrollment criteria’ are a bit arbitrary?”
“You can’t say that you can do whatever you want. After all, what I said above can only be regarded as a ‘minority’, otherwise the Academy of Truth would not use the unified examination as an effective means of initially screening believers.” Morris shook his head, “I can only say, God It is so unpredictable, even the four righteous gods, they have their own standards to measure the world, and mortals have just summed up a few of the laws for thousands of years.” Listen to
Morris After explaining quite seriously, Duncan didn’t speak, but just sat there with a face of contemplation, thinking otherwise.
There may be nothing wrong with the old gentleman’s explanations and examples in the previous part, but the “conclusion” of his last step…is still open to debate.
Are the behavior patterns of the gods really unpredictable? Those “exceptional” or even “outrageous” situations in the process of lowering Raheem’s gaze… Is there another reason behind it?
Unknowingly, that weird dark space and the communication messages he saw in the dark reappeared in his mind.
The individual “LH-02” who is suspected to be the god of wisdom Laheem, the few words mentioned at the end of the exchange… really made him very concerned.
If those messages really happen in real time, if LH-02 is really Lahelm, if everything is really as Duncan imagined…then the so-called “gods” in the mouths of the mortal beings are really worth pondering for him up.
While thinking, he involuntarily raised his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Agou.
As Morris said, although Agou has shown amazing learning talent, his current “academic level” is far behind those prestigious scholars in the Academy of Truth. Agou, who has reached the stage of illiteracy, has been directly watched by the God of Wisdom, Raheem – this is an honor that thousands of students in the Academy of Truth have never dared to dream of in their lives (although it seems that this is not the case for Agou. what a good thing).
So what exactly attracted Raheem? Is it Agou’s “talent”? Is it the spirit of learning? Or…
because it is a mutant individual belonging to the Youshen “cluster”? The Youshen Hound who has obtained the “heart” just meets the identification standard of LH-02?
Agou shrank involuntarily, and Duncan’s silent gaze made him feel hairy all over his body. After holding back for a long time, he couldn’t help but say, “Captain, you…”
Duncan didn’t respond to Agou, but turned to look at Morris. One look: “Based on your judgment, is it possible that Shirley suddenly passed the ‘standard’ of the God of Wisdom at a certain moment and was accepted by Lahelm?” Morris was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head: “There is absolutely no such thing
. This is a possibility!”
“So sure?” Duncan was very serious, “You just said that Raheem’s ‘judgment criteria’ are not so absolute, and sometimes even illiterate people will be favored suddenly.”
” Although there are exceptions to the God of Wisdom’s judgment criteria, at least one thing has never been wrong – those who have been rejected once will not have a second chance. Although there are many examples of being rejected by the God of Wisdom in history Less, but at least…”
Morris paused when he said this, and glanced at Shirley.
“At least when Agou is about to be ‘taken away’, Shirley can bring him back to the real world by her own ability. This is already the clearest ‘rejection’ from the God of Wisdom to a mortal that I can imagine It’s gone.”
Duncan glanced at Shirley with a complicated expression, but the latter seemed to be a little confused. The girl looked left and right, and after a while she said, “So?
” “Duncan said without hesitation, “Don’t think about refusing to study with the excuse of ‘helping Agou block the revelation’.
” A few minutes later, “You guys clearly said just now that I’m not a material for learning—the God of Wisdom has made it clear that I don’t want my brain…” “In this world, more than 90% of the
people don’t have it.” Opportunity to enter the Academy of Truth, 60% of people take the exam just to get a diploma, and almost 100% of people will never become Laheem’s saints or receive His gaze in their entire lives ” Duncan looked into Shirley’s eyes quietly, his expression was as serious as his tone, “Do you think that I decided to teach you to read and write in order to make you a great scholar like Morris?”
Shirley was taken aback by Duncan’s serious appearance, she opened her mouth a few times but didn’t say a word. After a while, she slowly lowered her eyelids: “I…I know…I’m sorry, I’m self-willed…”
“It doesn’t matter, you are still a child in my eyes—children can be willful,” Duncan shook his head lightly, “Relax, I didn’t scold you, I was just thinking… what will Agou do in the future.”
” Me?” A Gou, who was lying obediently next to him, looked up blankly, as if he hadn’t followed Duncan’s train of thought, “What’s wrong with me in the future?”
Duncan looked into its eyes: “Have you ever thought that you may be the first in the future?” The third time, or the fourth time you’ve been stared at by Rahm?”
Agou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his eyes…it didn’t have eyes, but its whole body trembled visibly.
“Then…then I won’t be able to read in the future?” Its tone was tense.
“The God of Wisdom is not a ‘shadow’ attracted by books—as a god, He has already noticed you,” Morris, who was on the side, responded. The old scholar shook his head, his eyes serious , “I can’t guess His will, but since He is interested in you once, it is hard to guarantee that He will find you again in the future. This is the same even if you stop studying in the future, or even…” The old scholar paused for a while, his
expression It was a little weird in the middle, as if he didn’t know whether to describe the god he believed in like this, but in the end he shook his head and said: “It can even be said that as long as you are still ‘thinking’, then your mind will Always stay in the sight of the God of Wisdom, when He casts sight on you again, it all depends on His will.” The
red light in Agou’s eye sockets visibly trembled.
After hearing Morris’s words, Duncan couldn’t help but feel some strange emotions in his heart—how could this description make Laheem’s “blessing” seem like a curse from an evil god?
But he thought about it for a while, and felt that if he put the perspective on a secluded demon, then the blessing of any righteous god is really no different from the curse of an evil god…
This time, even Alice, who was still silent by the side, reacted, and she suddenly said: “Then Agou will live in danger every day from now on?
” The connection between them is still there, and the danger may not be fatal,” Duncan shook his head, “From Agou’s description and my… well, my guess, Laheem is not malicious, and he may not even Realizing that the ‘mind’ that just appeared in my sight belongs to a deep demon, on this basis, he probably won’t use a more ‘intense’ way to ‘take away’ Agou.” Listening to Duncan’s judgment
, Agou could only lower his head, with a trace of sorrow in his tone: “Hey…it seems that I can only think so.” “Be
calm, you and Shirley still have my mark on you, even if the worst happens , Shirley can’t hold you anymore, I should be able to feel it too,” Duncan comforted the anxious dog, “Although I haven’t tried it, I don’t mind giving it a try. Snatching people…snatching dogs.”
“And I will definitely hold you!” Shirley also said immediately, patting her chest while shaking the symbiotic chain in her hand, “Don’t worry, Agou, I am the God of Wisdom A brain that clearly rejects the door! Being your safe anchor is definitely enough!”
A Gou was about to be moved after hearing Duncan’s words, but was caught off guard by Shirley’s confident and proud attitude. She could only raise her head and stare blankly at the other party: “You…isn’t something to be proud of?”
Shirley didn’t answer, she was still just laughing foolishly.
It’s just her fingers gripping the chain, tightening and tightening.
