Miss Yindi also keeps secrets about the gods she believes in. But unable to hold back Jenkins' insistence, he still selectively answered some of his questions. Mortals always avoid talking about gods. The gods of this world are not very powerful mortals, but real high-dimensional existences. Talk about him and he will feel something, call his name and he will know.
"The origin of my Lord, I can only answer you with religious myths. Mr. Candle, I know that the one you believe in originated from this era, so there is a very clear time point and story. But in fact, most gods The origins are very ancient, so religious myths do not have real historical significance. If you are interested, I can devote a day to talk to you about the story of our Lord, but I think what you want to know from me should not be this."
The two stood in the depths of the woods where the moonlight could not cover them. The mist lingered in the forest on a summer night. This was indeed a suitable environment for talking about secrets.
Chocolate licked his paw.
"Then when do you think your god first appeared?"
Jenkins asked.
"Like most religions, we believe our gods were born in the most ancient of times."
Miss Yindi replied, seeing the man standing under the tree frowned, she knew he was not satisfied with this answer, but Miss Yindi really couldn't answer.
"Then, does your religion have any legends about the ancient era? I mean, extraordinary, it is difficult to find legends with similar plots in ordinary religious myths?"
Jenkins tried to put it another way.
"Yes, there are some. But we don't talk about them with outsiders because they may conflict with the teachings and historical views of other churches. Mr. Candle, I don't know what information you are looking for, but please note that there are no Evidence that proves that any historical account of the past is entirely true, let alone myths involving ancient times... What on earth do you want to know?"
The woman frowned too.
"I would like to know… "
He believed in the information from World Tree, so he believed that [God of Nobility and Order] would not be an outsider like himself. Therefore, what he wanted to know was only the reason why the god proposed the "power of thunder and lightning". But he wasn't sure whether the myths told by the Church of Mechanics were also circulated in Miss Silver Flute's sect.
And even if that story is also circulated in the other party's sect, he is sure that mortals today cannot guess the thoughts of the gods who walked in the material world in ancient times.
"I want to know, what is the weirdest myth in your sect?"
Jenkins ended up picking this issue. Regarding the myths spoken by the Holy Son of the Mechanic Church, knowing the reason or not knowing the reason will not affect him, and he also figured it out, and he is no longer so entangled.
"You promise me that only you and your cat know what I say."
"Of course, I assure you, Miss Silver Flute."
He hugged the cat and said.
"The weirdest myth is the legend about creation."
Under the shadow of dense leaves, Miss Yindi said softly as if sighing. Jenkins was stunned for a moment. After he came to this world, he had a strong interest in the origin of this extraordinary and mysterious world, but he has never found the so-called creation myth, or even any claiming creation myth. existence of gods.
"Your God, is..."
"No, it's not, don't talk nonsense."
Miss Yindi stopped Jenkins from thinking wildly, glanced at the sky cautiously, and then continued to tell him the myth she had heard:
"When the world was created, it was dualistic. Therefore, if there is fire, there must be water; if there is good, there must be evil; if there is day, there must be night; if there is emptiness, there must be the material world. Everything is Relatively created, relatively defined, and when the chaos gradually subsides and the order of the world is subdued by the original gods, our Lord is the [God of Order] that symbolized the stability of the world's rules when the world was born."
This brought the status of [God of Nobility and Order] to an unimaginable position. Jenkins doubted the authenticity of this myth. After all, the core priesthood of [God of Nobility and Order] seemed to be [Nobility]. Mortals always like to give the gods they believe in a more powerful origin and story that is not out of the ordinary, but this seems a bit too much.
"In those first days, the first gods walked the earth, spread life, divided rules, and shaped the world. But the opposite of the gods who symbolized 'holy' and the noble first souls came into being Sins. These sins corrupted the original souls from their original characteristics, and from this gave birth to us who can be both holy and sinful.
The gods tried to destroy those 'sins', but our Lord stopped them. My Lord said that everything in the world has an order, and sin itself is a part of the world order and cannot be missing. Sin makes the world real. Sin is a part of the world cycle and constitutes the most primitive system of this world.
So the first gods allowed the existence of sin, thus forming the future world rules. And my lord saw the impact of sin on the world, because of the guilt of what he said, he voluntarily gave up the control of order, and the current [God of Nobility and Order] was born. "
No matter how it sounds, it seems that the believers of the noble gods are boasting about the gods they believe in, and the way of boasting is not very clever. But this is also the most detailed creation myth of this world that Jenkins has heard, which makes him have to think more about its meaning.
"Mr. Candle, in fact, even I don't believe this story is true, why should you think about it? In my opinion, it is only used to emphasize the importance of the rules and... the greatness of our Lord, you don't have to think about the story The plot, just understand the connotation.”
"What connotation?"
"Sin is also part of the world and cannot be eradicated, nor should it be eradicated."
It was obviously very common words, but to Jenkins, Miss Yindi seemed to express the most profound essence of this world. Vaguely, behind Miss Silver Flute, in the shadow of the bushes, he saw a silver-haired lady. But in the blink of an eye, only shadows remained.
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and looked at Miss Yindi hesitantly, very suspicious whether she thought up those words just now.
"Any question?"
Asked Miss Silver Flute who didn't know what Jenkins was thinking.
"No more, no more."
Jenkins shook his head quickly, afraid of seeing things that only he could see again.
But on the way the two walked back, he still asked an irrelevant question:
"Your god, do you have a specific image description?"
In fact, most of the images worshiped and believed by mortals are holy symbols, not gods. In religious customs, the status of holy emblems is much higher than that of gods. The reason, according to Jenkins, is that both righteous gods and false gods may give up their seats, so the gods use the holy emblem as their own reflection in the mortal world.
"Image? This question is difficult to answer... According to our classics, it is probably a female with silver hair."
Miss Yindi said vaguely, so Jenkins didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The cat continued to lick its paw on Jenkins' shoulder.
All seven of them knew that after this meeting, it was hard to say whether there would be another meeting. The coming of the doomsday has disrupted most people's life planning, especially for the gifted ones, so everyone cherishes this opportunity very much.
And when they talked about their plans for the future, none of them had any hidden intentions.
Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute intend to continue their current job, which is to protect the rich noble lady. They did not disclose Miss Windsor's identity, but only hinted that the noble lady had a deep connection with the big figures of the Orthodox Church, and they planned to use this thread to face the future doomsday.
Continuing the employment relationship with Ms. Windsor will not have too much impact on their original lives, and it will help their career and future. This is a good plan.
Hathaway herself is a noble lady, and she said that her marriage partner is a big shot in the Orthodox Church, and she will not worry about her future life at all. Moreover, the music sect she belongs to has come to Nolan, and she is busy negotiating between the Pseudo-God Sect and the Orthodox Church, taking care of her family by the way, and her plans for the near future are full and satisfactory.
Mr. Hood, Mr. Black Cat, and Mr. White Cat have decided to do business together. These three gentlemen don’t have much ambition, they just want to live a good life. They also have no plans to leave Nolan, just like Mr. Black Cat who just returned to Nolan said, no matter where they go, they will not be able to escape the coming doomsday, so they might as well stay in the center of the world and wait to watch this episode. The final grand finale.
They have their own ideas and are prepared for the possibility of bad luck for everyone.
When everyone asked about Jenkins' thoughts, Jenkins thought about it before answering his friends' questions:
"I don't have too many requirements for the future, as long as everyone I know is safe. As for what to do after this, just take your time according to the plan. I believe everything will be fine."
Before the party ended, Jenkins asked Miss Magic to wait, and he had something important to say to her later. After seeing everyone saying goodbye to each other and preparing to leave separately, he took out the wrench and signaled Mr. Hood to follow him to the side.
Miss Magic let Miss Silver Flute go first, and seeing that Mr. Candle and Mr. Hood had no objection, she followed them to the depths of the woods. She was very interested in the next treatment.
PS: There is no foreshadowing about the God of Order, so don’t think too much about it. The most important thing in this chapter is the sentence that Miss Yindi said, “Sin is also a part of the world, it cannot be eliminated, and it should not be eliminated.” This is related to the ending. Readers who have read my last book can think about it, but the author will not express any opinions.
Ask for everything at the beginning of the month.
