The very fact of being knocked off the altar by Elune revealed unusual information.
Daelin is a racist, but he is not a fool. After learning that Carlos's plan was to attack the orcs one after another and give favor to the orcs to control the orcs, he decisively accepted Carlos' tool man theory.
If the result is good, everything is fine. If the result is not good, try to find a way to get better. Come, come, drink and eat meat.
As a result, the conversation developed in the direction of gossip, and naturally the conversation turned to demigods.
"What does that feel like?"
The Proudmoore family has its own mystery, but compared to the realm of demigods, it is obviously a step below.
Dai Lin asked with some longing.
"Understanding people."
Carlos answered with a very abstract combination of words.
Originally, he wanted to use the phrase "Heaven, Earth, Mysteries, and All the Dharmas" to explain the demigods, but the shackles of different languages among civilizations made it impossible for Carlos to make a faithful translation, so he had to give up in the end.
"Um, what do you mean?"
Dai Lin was a little confused and felt as if he had gained something.
"What do you think a god should look like, or what kind of existence can be called a god."
Carlos asked rhetorically.
"Well... I guess he is omniscient and omnipotent."
Dai Lin thought for a moment and gave his own answer, a natural answer.
"Very good, now what kind of existence do you think a demigod should be?"
"Why do I still ask you if you know it?"
Dai Lin responded directly.
"I……"
Carlos endured it, gave up his persuasive approach, and gave the answer directly.
"A demigod is half of a god. If a god is omniscient and omnipotent, then a demigod is omniscient."
"Hey! He's not omnipotent!"
Dai Lin made a surprised sound.
"Read less about what Dalaran discovered. You will be poisoned unclearly. Yes, it is indeed a universal truth that knowledge is power, but humans have limits, and mages also have upper limits on their abilities. Not all knowledge can Can be transformed into power, so omniscience does not mean omnipotence.”
Carlos explained rather emotionally.
Even in a high-magic world like Azeroth, the study of the nature of power is still the preserve of a very small number of people. The leader of a country like Daelin Proudmoore is still lacking in knowledge.
"If demigods were omnipotent, there wouldn't be so many deaths."
"Have demigods died a lot?"
"a lot of."
"I do not know how!"
"Every night elf child knows it."
"It's important to have some face. In terms of age, he's a damn old man!"
"Do you still want to hear what I have to say?"
"I shut up and you continue."
If you talk dirty in the bathhouse, you can put aside your dignity. Dai Lin decisively accepted it.
"It was only after I took that step that I realized that the biggest benefit of becoming a demigod is not the increase in strength, but the improvement of the level of life."
Carlos paused for a moment, thinking about how to explain that feeling to Daelin in terms that mortal races lacked.
"This is a human illusion. Dalaran is actually wrong."
The Proudmoore family was also the source of funding for the Tirisfal Council. Carlos thought that Daelin could understand, so he didn't reveal it.
"It's not the powerful power that promotes the realm of demigods, no."
"no?!"
Dailin couldn't understand what Carlos wanted to express at all.
"No, I thought it was before, and I succeeded. But no, after I stepped into the realm of demigods, I discovered that it was not the case at all."
Dai Lin showed a look of astonishment, but did not make any sound. He waited silently for Carlos to continue speaking.
"Look at this fruit."
Carlos picked up another fruit.
"We can infer that it has a sweet and sour taste from its orange-red skin and smell."
Dai Lin was already a little confused and nodded blankly.
"In other words, all this is just an inference we draw from past experience. Before we actually eat it, we don't know what it tastes like, and we don't know whether there are bugs in it."
Dai Lin seemed to understand what Carlos meant.
"But demigods are different. After becoming a demigod, I just looked at it and I knew everything about it. The world itself gave me the answer."
"The result is not derived through inference, but the result is right in front of you, omniscient...is this what you mean?"
"Absolutely. Because after becoming a demigod, knowledge comes too easily, so the increase in power is too obvious. Therefore, it gives the mortal species an illusion, or wrong inference, that the increase in power promotes the advancement of life, which puts the cart before the horse. "
"Wait a minute, Carlos, I have a creepy feeling hearing you say this."
"you say."
"If it wasn't the power that drove you to become a demigod, then what was?"
Hai's old father-in-law keenly discovered this logical loophole.
"Um."
Carlos was sincerely happy and couldn't help but nodded. How lucky he was to have a friend who could speak freely regardless of his status.
"I was angry when Elune sent me down to destroy the realm of demigods."
"Is there really Elune, the Moon Goddess?"
"have."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Saw."
"Isn't it pretty?"
"roll."
"Hey, that's not interesting enough. Isn't it a man? That's Elune!"
"Dear Lord Luna, everything this old gangster said has nothing to do with me, Carlos Barov."
Carlos made a gesture of prayer, and then added.
"That's the real God."
"Um, Dear Lord Moon God, your admirer Daelin Proudmoore offers you his most sincere respect."
There was a lot of foreshadowing before the contact, and the admiral decisively surrendered to the "omniscient and omnipotent" moon god.
"do you know."
Carlos changed the subject.
"Speak directly!"
Daelin gave him a roll of his eyes.
"I am stronger after being knocked down from the realm of demigods."
"ha?"
Dailin didn't understand what Carlos meant.
"If that person compensates me, what do you think this means?"
It took Dailin three glasses of wine to understand what Carlos was talking about.
"I don't know anything about the Well of Souls, so I can't give you any useful advice."
"Then let's analyze it from a businessman's perspective."
There is nothing wrong with saying that people in Kul Tiran are all businessmen.
Dai Lin hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously.
"That one doesn't want you to know what the Well of Souls does, or what happened at that time."
"Yeah, actually I think so too. You see, you can actually get results through empirical inference. Does it make sense?"
Carlos took a bite of the fruit in his hand. The juice was sweet, slightly sour and sweet, and very delicious.
