Zach returned to Grande from Bochi and summarized the content of the conversation himself. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Let me make it clear first, Poch said that the teaching of witchcraft belief is not to disturb the existing life in nature, whether it is body or soul, which is not funny. Another way of saying this is that no one can do this except the god at the top of this belief, Papa Midnight.
Pochi told Zach a story, stripping away the meaningless subjective expressions. The story goes like this
A long time ago, in an Indian tribe called Midnight, a man named Papa discovered ways to change the rules of nature, such as making flowers and fruits grow out of season and making wild animals docile and obedient.
Papa revealed the secret to his own family, his sister. The younger sister did not keep the secret, the younger sister told the secret to others.
The message got through.
Indians from other tribes coveted this magical ability and besieged the Midnight tribe. After the fierce battle, only Papa and his sister were left in the entire tribe. The sister began to blame her brother for why he had developed this ability that brought disaster. Papa was very sad after hearing this, and in turn blamed his sister, why did she tell the secret that no one should know? It was her sister's mouth that caused the disaster.
Result of brother and sister turning against each other:
Papa cursed his sister, and he turned her into... a monster that could only predict disasters. Papa said to his sister, if you like telling others secrets so much, then tell people all over the world the secret of their death. .
My sister also cursed Papa with hatred. She said to Papa, then I will follow you all the time and keep telling you how you died. Papa also became a monster, he became a person who could not die.
No tribe wants to be near these ominous siblings anymore. Everyone left the monster brother and sister behind and returned to their respective tribes.
Then, after a long, long time, the tribes on this continent changed for many generations. As if suddenly, the Indians of each tribe discovered that the ominous monster brother and sister legendary by their grandfathers seemed to be still there. alive. It was the man and woman who always happened to pass by every time there was a crisis in the tribe. They would often request supplies to continue their journey and then help the tribe survive the crisis. Sometimes it's a natural disaster, sometimes it's a disaster. The same thing is that they never explain how they helped those tribes survive the difficulties.
The Indians began to compare information about their respective tribes and began to inquire about the movements of the brother and sister. But the brothers and sisters would only appear when the tribe was in trouble, neither answering nor denying the questions asked by the Indians.
After a long, long time, the Indians iterated several times.
When it becomes a habit to be saved in every crisis, worship appears.
When the Papa brothers and sisters appeared, no more Indians would uncover the scars they had cursed each other with, and ask questions that would not be answered anyway. The Papa brothers and sisters are no longer completely mysterious. They will invite a person with a high status in a tribe to become their guide...apprentice in the time they stay in this tribe.
The wizard just showed up.
The preaching of witchcraft beliefs came from the mouths of wizards who became the apprentices of the brother and sister as guides. true oracle
People who are experiencing disasters, please pray that Papa will come to you at midnight. Always hold on to your faith, and God will surely come, because God was 'born' in disaster, and God does not want disaster to destroy everything again.
The story is over.
This story, which could be named 'The Birth of a God', was told by Pochi with a lot of personal information. Most of them are his personal grudges against Papa Midnight, a bit like Madison's attitude towards Zach, his boss. In order to prevent everyone from being influenced by Boqi's subjective opinions, I have completely excluded them here. The only private goods worth telling you are
In witchcraft belief, the image of God is the 'divinity' of Papa Midnight.
Just like the belief in the Holy Lord, the divinity created by the Holy Lord is that he created humans, so he loves humans. The god of witchcraft belief is a god of atonement.
Papa Midnight's own tribe perished because of him.
divinity.
Helping Indian tribes survive disasters is Papa Midnight's compensation for his past; he only chooses a high-ranking person in a tribe to teach witchcraft because witchcraft is the ability to cause disasters. He chooses to share the ability. At that time, it was matched with a person who could guard the ability.
Don't lament at this time that the god Papa Midnight should have flesh and blood, but he doesn't. The last manifestation of the divinity of the God of Witchcraft, the reason why Pochi’s not-so-funny words can be said:
The ominous title of brother and sister that faded away after several generations made Papa midnight order the wizards he taught to never make the mistakes he made and turn any life into something other than what it originally was. This painful experience would last as long as he It's enough for Papa to bear the responsibility alone at midnight.
I believe that even without Pochi's personal subjectivity, everyone can feel that the god Papa Midnight is very unkind. The origin story of this god has clearly told us that he, Papa Midnight, can stand at the highest point of witchcraft because he has changed the original appearance of life!
He is not dead!
Papa Midnight easily brainwashed those wizards with his atoning divinity of bitterness and hatred, cutting off the possibility of others reaching the same level as him.
A treacherous guy.
No wonder four centuries ago, the Indian humans were so vulnerable to the colonial army, and their gods did not really feel good for them at all.
Forget it, from the colonial war to the formal establishment of the Federation, we can also clearly understand the turning point in witchcraft beliefs and the rapid changes in social conditions. Let’s look at the current wizard family. Which one still clings to Papa’s midnight oracle
Therefore, from the conversation with Pochi, Zach at least confirmed one thing. The Indians' request to use the Indian blood bank was definitely not a religious demand. At most, it was a cover of faith. If Zach was to continue his quest for knowledge, Zach needed an authority figure from the middle of the country, living in the Indian community.
It was almost midnight when the phone rang.
Zach answered the phone and said, "Grand is closed recently." He changed his opening words in a rare move, thinking he could just hang up.
Awkward accent, "Mr.'s ancestor?"
Zach was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Uh, is it still 'Mr. Ancestor'? Wait a minute, let me turn over the grammar..."
Zach was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you a descendant of Ian? That official of the Republic?"
"Ah! It's me, sir, the ancestors actually know me! I feel honored!"
"Sir, you're in the back." This would be the only thing Zach taught his grandson who was far away. "Alpha Revinchi said you would call me."
"Oh, Mr. Shizu, I'm sorry to bother you." The upbringing fits Ian's description.
"Do you have anything to talk to me about?" Zach didn't have any special emotions, and his main energy was spent on distinguishing the other person's accent. Rui Wenqi's reminder was quite pertinent.
"Yes, I have an incident that needs to be reported that may cause trouble to the ancestors..."
Zach interrupted first, "No one calls me Zu, call me Grande." Isn't it Zach? Due to the seniority relationship, in addition, Zach did not want to say Toledo, making the other party think that he was four 'kind elders'. Then, it’s up to you how you came to be born.
The other party was quite conscious, "Okay, then Grande will call me 'He'."
Zach asked a little, "Is this your first or last name?"
"The last name. But according to the republican custom, it is written in front. Haha, the republicans care about the lineage of the surname very much."
"Oh." Zach lost interest, "He, you continue."
"Okay." The initial excitement was completely gone. I don’t know if Toledo is sensitive to people’s hearts and noticed Zach’s indifference, or if he just wants to get down to business. Zach didn't know anymore and listened quietly, "I'm afraid what the republican government is worried about has happened. The resistance of our local aliens against the government has extended overseas. We feel very ashamed that our own affairs have spread to other countries. …”
Zach curled his lips and interrupted again, "I'm not a diplomat, so you don't need to use these diplomatic rhetoric with me."
The person on the other side of the receiver actually denied it, saying, "These are not diplomatic words, they are words from the bottom of my heart." For a person who has problems with basic address grammar, this kind of thing was said quite smoothly.
Zach had no intention of arguing, "You continue."
"Our government has detected several cases of aliens from our country smuggling into the Federation. What embarrasses us is that once these aliens enter the territory of the Federation, they disappear without a trace. Our operators cannot move without leaving a trace in the Federation society. Recovery completed…”
Zach frowned, mentally cursing Maitreya. I knew that the bad things done by that republican monk Maitreya would not end well. Sure enough, that speechless commission from the Ancestors Firm turned into a diplomatic incident! They are still the most troublesome alien race, and they are obviously the most secretive affairs in both countries.
Zach wanted to interrupt again and remind the other party that he was just a funeral industry owner and that he should not tell himself such things.
Did not have time.
Sun Tzu 'He' on the other side of the receiver: "This is the incompetence of our country's personnel and has nothing to do with the Federal State." Well, then why do you say it? Then, the reason came, "Unfortunately, this kind of smuggling incident was discovered in our country, which caused some worrying changes within our country."
There was a deliberate pause, as if he was waiting for Zach's permission before continuing.
Zach tilted his mouth. When it is obvious that you will inform the other party of content that may cause discomfort, you should first ask for the other party's consent. Tsk, this way of controlling people's hearts is indeed very Toledo. Zach agreed, "You tell me."
"In our country, some alien races seem to regard the Federation as a place they can go to." I don't know if it was a change of language or his original intention, but these words were very neutral. At least it didn’t say that the Federation was a place for aliens from the Republic to flee. “Those aliens are using various means to try to break through the diplomatic walls between our country and the Federation and enter the Federation.”
He paused again, obviously not finishing his words. This pause should be to organize the way of expression.
"A few days ago, an intrusion case occurred in the department I am responsible for."
Ah ~ that mirror creature that Hannah experienced.
Zach already knew what the other person was talking about, so he wanted to let the other person relax. "Are you talking about the incident where an alien race made of mirrors suddenly appeared in the basement of our Barton South District Police Station?"
"Sure enough, as 'Father' said." 'He' on the receiver smiled, "Nothing in Barton can escape Grande's eyes."
'Father' probably refers to Ian. Zach didn't take the compliment lightly because apparently nothing happened in Grande that escaped anyone's attention. Zach wasn't the last to be praised.
Zach asked directly, "What is it."
"It's a god."
Zack replied, wanting to roll his eyes, "Huh, I know." There was no malice, it was just a natural attitude when talking to a foreigner, "All the aliens in your republic are gods. I already know this."
"You misunderstood. I heard that a republican ghost once lived in Grande, Mo, right?"
"kindness."
"Ghosts born when human beings lose their bodies are a burden to social development that our government focuses on. She told the Grand Republic about alien knowledge, which will naturally beautify her ethnic group. Mr. Grand does not need to take it too seriously."
Zach did not respond. For a place that he had never been to anyway, Zach would not confirm it no matter what they said. Does it matter if we take it seriously
'He' in the receiver continued, "There are still orthodox gods in the Republic, but they don't often appear in human society. They have their own world..."
Zach remembered the legend of the Republic that he heard from the awkward Rimel (Eve's son) when he went to the Tower of Babel, yes, that romantic legend. The legend of the first god of the Republic who opened up the world and created the world with himself. "You misunderstood. I heard that a republican ghost once lived in Grande, Mo, right?"
"kindness."
Zach did not respond. For a place that he had never been to anyway, Zach would not confirm it no matter what they said. Does it matter if we take it seriously

Zach was not prepared to discuss romance with 'He' on the receiver, so he continued, "But occasionally, they will show up to see what the world has become." Well, this statement...
We have just interpreted the unkind divinity of Papa Midnight. I also know that the Holy Lord’s robber-like divinity is ‘all created by me’. Haha, it turns out that there is such a divine being who comes back to see what the world has become~
Zach didn't want to say anything.
"If these gods who do not live in this world are bewitched by the creatures of this world, they will intervene in the affairs of this world."
Zach frowned, still using the other party's words, "Bewitch? Intervene?"
