According to Morris, the standard for blessings from the God of Wisdom seems to be: a very subtle thing.
"In most people's impressions, believers of the God of Wisdom must be knowledgeable scholars, or eccentric geniuses with amazing talents in a certain field - this kind of perception cannot be wrong of course, after all, most of the wisdom Believers of the God must indeed meet the two conditions of being 'erudite' and 'intelligent', but everything is not absolute. "
Morris sat on a chair near the door of the captain's cabin and explained seriously while ignoring Shirley's subtle expression next to him.
"First of all, being favored by the God of Wisdom does not necessarily require a very high level of knowledge, just like the current Agou - it is learning very quickly, but compared with regular believers who have actually passed the church's three rounds of examinations, its current academic level is The level is obviously not enough, but it is still regarded by "Rachem". In other city-states, there are many believers and even famous saints who were inspired before they mastered advanced knowledge. .
"One of the most striking examples is the saint Professor Cole Froude more than two hundred years ago. This great scholar received revelation when he was sixteen years old, and he was a dock coolie at the time, or even not at all" Literacy - After receiving revelation, he had the opportunity to come into contact with the knowledge in books. "
"There is another completely opposite example. There once was a well-known scholar in the city-state of Moko. He 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 he could not until his death. Seeing the brilliance of Lachem - the Academy of Truth posthumously conferred the honorary title of saint on this scholar, and there was more than one similar case."
Duncan touched his chin thoughtfully: "It sounds like the God of Wisdom's admissions standards are a bit arbitrary?"
"You can't say that you do whatever you want. After all, what I said above can only be considered a few cases. Otherwise, the Academy of Truth would not regard the unified examination as an effective means of initially screening believers." Morris shook his head. "I can only say that God is Even the four righteous gods are so unpredictable. They have their own standards for measuring the world, and mortals have just summed up a few of these laws over thousands of years.
Listening to Morris's rather serious explanation, Duncan did not speak. He just sat there with a thoughtful expression on his face and had another opinion in his heart.
There may be nothing wrong with the old man's previous examples, but his final conclusion is still open to question.
The behavioral patterns of the gods are really unpredictable. Is there another reason behind the "exceptional" or even "outrageous" situations in the process of Lachem lowering his gaze?
Unconsciously, the strange dark space and the communication messages he saw in the darkness reappeared in his mind.
The individual "LH-02" who is suspected to be the God of Wisdom, Lachem, mentioned at the end of the exchange, "Those words really made him care a lot.
If that information really happened in real time, if LH-02 really was Lachem, if everything was really as Duncan thought...then the so-called "gods" in the mouths of mortal beings really deserved his deep thought. .
While thinking, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids and his eyes fell on "Agou.
Just like Morris said, although Agou has shown amazing learning talent, its current "academic level" is far from catching up with those famous scholars in the School of Truth. Agou, who has escaped from the "illiteracy stage", has been directly watched by Lachem, the god of wisdom. This is an honor that thousands of students at the Academy of Truth have never dared to imagine in their entire lives.
Although for Agou, this is not a good thing.
So what attracts Rahim? Is it Agou’s “talent”? Its academic spirit? Or.…
Because it is a mutant individual that belongs to the Yousui "cluster"?
Got the heart. The Deep Hound fits the bill perfectly. What is the identification standard for LH-02?
Agou couldn't help but shrink back. Duncan's silent gaze made him feel hairy all over. He held it in for a long time before he couldn't help but say: "Captain," you..."
Duncan did not respond to Agou, but turned to look at Morris: "According to your judgment, Shirley may suddenly pass the standard of the God of Wisdom at a certain moment and be accepted by Lachem."
Morris was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"So sure?" Duncan was very serious. "You just said that Lachem's judgment standards are not so absolute. Sometimes even illiterate people will suddenly be chosen."
“Although there are exceptions to the judgment standards of the God of Wisdom, there is at least one thing: those who have never made a mistake and been rejected once.
People don't get a second chance. Although there are very few examples in history of being explicitly rejected by the God of Wisdom, at least..."
When Morris said this, he glanced at Shirley. "At least when Agou was about to be 'taken away', Shirley was able to pull it back to the real world on her own. This is the clearest rejection I can imagine from the God of Wisdom to a mortal."
Duncan glanced at Shirley with a complicated expression, but the latter seemed a little confused. The girl looked left and right, and after a while she said, "So?"
"So you still have to do your homework," Duncan said without hesitation, "Don't think of refusing to study on the excuse of helping Agou block the divine enlightenment."
"ah……"
The God of Wisdom has made it clear, "You don't want my brain..."
"In this world, more than 100% of people have no chance to enter the Academy of Truth. 100% of people take the exam just to get a diploma. And almost 100% of people will never become Rah in their lifetime. Tom's saint may be subject to his gaze," Duncan looked into Shirley's eyes quietly, his expression as serious as his tone, "Do you think I decided to teach you in order to make you a great scholar like Morris? Read and write”.
Shirley was startled by Duncan's serious look. She opened her mouth several times without saying anything. After a moment, she slowly lowered her eyelids: "I...I know...I'm sorry." , I am willful..."
"It doesn't matter, you are still a child in my eyes... Children can be willful," Duncan gently shook his head, "Relax, I didn't scold you, I was just thinking...
What will Agou do in the future? "
"I was lying down obediently next to me. Agou looked up blankly, seemingly not following Duncan's train of thought, "What will happen to me in the future? "
Duncan looked into its eyes: "Have you ever thought that you might be watched by Lachem for the third or fourth time in the future? Agou was startled for a moment, and then he realized that his eyes... he had no eyes. , but its whole body trembled visibly.
"Then...then I can't read anymore"? "Its tone was tense.
"The God of Wisdom cannot be a shadow attracted by books - as a god, he has noticed you." The person who responded to it was Morris on the side. The old scholar shook his head with solemn eyes. "I can't guess the sleeve's will, but since he was interested in you once, there is no guarantee that she will look for you again in the future. This will be the same even if you study again in the future, or even..."
The old scholar paused for a moment, with a slightly weird look on his face, as if he didn't know whether he should describe the god he believed in in this way, but in the end he shook his head and said, "You can even say that, as long as you are still here." Thinking', then your mind will always stay in the sight of the God of Wisdom. When he will cast his sight on you again, it all depends on his mind. "
The red light in Agou's eyes trembled obviously.
Duncan couldn't help but feel some strange emotions in his heart after hearing Morris's words - how come he heard this description, Lachem's "blessing" was like the curse of the evil god.
But then he thought about it and felt that if he put his perspective on a deep demon, then any blessing from a good god is really no different from the curse of an evil god...
This time, even Alice, who had never spoken next to her, reacted. She suddenly said, wouldn't Agou be in danger every day from now on? "
"There is a danger, but as long as the connection between it and Shirley is still there, the danger may not be fatal," Duncan shook his head, "From Agou's description and mine.
Well, my guess is that Lachem has no ill intentions. He may not even realize that the mind that just appeared in his sight actually belongs to a deep demon. On this basis, he probably cannot use more intense methods. 'Way to 'take away' Agou. "
Listening to Duncan's judgment, Agou could only lower his head, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Hey...it seems that's all I can think of."
"Be patient, you and Shirley still have my mark on you and Shirley. Even if the worst happens and Shirley can't hold you back, I should be able to feel it," Duncan comforted the anxious Gouzi. "Although I haven't tried it, I wouldn't mind trying to steal a person...and a dog from a 'righteous god'."
"And I will definitely hold you," Shirley said immediately, patting her chest and shaking the symbiosis chain in her hand, "Don't worry, Agou, my brain has been explicitly rejected by the God of Wisdom! Of course! Your safety anchor is definitely enough!"
Agou was about to be moved after hearing Duncan's words, but then he was caught off guard by Shirley's confident and proud attitude. He could only raise his head and look at him blankly:
"You... aren't something to be proud of, are you?"
Shirley didn't answer, she was still just silly and happy.
But her fingers gripped the chain tighter and tighter.
