"Naraku." Angel repeated the name in a low voice: "This city is also named after him?"
The wise master nodded.
Quite narcissistic. Angel thought to himself.
"So, has he been deified by you?"
Looking at Naraku in the mural, Angel felt that it no longer looked like a human being, but more like the gods in totems that were worshiped and imagined by ignorant primitive people.
"Deification? Why can't Naraku be a god?" the wise master asked.
"God?" Angel said noncommittally: "I have heard that many worlds have gods. So which world is Naraku the god of?"
Angel's words sounded normal, but anyone who wasn't stupid could hear the sarcasm in them.
As a child, Jon taught him science. When he grew up, Sanders taught him the truth. In the process, no one ever taught him to believe in God.
Jon didn't believe it, but Sanders was disdainful. For humans in this world, it's not that there are no "gods" in the literal interpretation. There are also "gods" in the mortal world who spread the teachings of truth, goodness and beauty, but these are essentially
A tool for the upper class to regulate the people at the bottom.
In the wizarding world, there are also "gods", but most of the gods mentioned by wizards are derogatory.
Demon gods, evil gods, alien gods, evil fire gods, wild gods...and so on. There is no doubt that these are powerful existences, and they need to be addressed as "him". But the title is respectful, but look
You can tell by looking at how wizards named them. There are basically no good words. Wizards respect their strength, not their authority as a "god".
In the eyes of wizards, the so-called gods are just extraordinary beings. As long as they are strong enough, they will lie on the wizard's research table, be dissected and experimented, and become stacks of thick records.
Therefore, when the wise master said that Naraku was a god, Angel did not show it on his face, but directly pushed Naraku's identity to the visitor from another world.
For ordinary wizards, visitors from another world can just turn a blind eye. But for extreme sects and the will of this world, visitors from another world are like silverfish that have no effect.
"Naraku was born in the Southern Territory, so you don't need to be extreme. What I call a god is an existence that has reached the ultimate in a certain aspect." The wise man ruled.
Angel: "Oh."
Angel's reaction was very dull. What the wise master explained could be called "god", but it was definitely different from the "god transformation" in the murals.
Seeing Angel's disapproval, the wise master sighed in his heart. All kinds of people have different opinions on Naraku's evaluation, and there is no need to forcefully correct Angel's opinion.
He just said lightly: "When a certain aspect reaches its extreme, humans have a word that can describe it very appropriately."
"That's... a miracle."
Hearing this word, Angel couldn't calm down. He turned his head suddenly and looked at the wise master: "Miracle? Naraku achieved a miracle?"
The wise master shook his head: "If there is a miracle, how can Naraku City encounter any changes? However, in my opinion, Naraku is the person most qualified to touch the miracle."
Angel: "At that time, Naraku's realm had reached the peak of legend?"
The wise master shook his head: "There is still one step left to become legendary."
Angel was speechless for a moment. For a wizard who has not yet reached the level of legend, you can only imagine a miracle. To say that it is ridiculous is to praise him.
You know, there are countless thresholds between a legend and a miracle. Not to mention, you haven't even reached a legend yet.
The wise master also saw Angel's speechless expression. He smiled and said, "Actually, I'm a good judge of people. I think as long as you don't perish, you have a high chance of becoming a legend."
Angel: "So, is this how Naraku was deceived by you?"
The wise master laughed: "I don't have that much ability to fool Naraku... When you get to that step, you will understand what a miracle is. By the way, aren't you from the Savage Cave? You can ask
Ask the three ancestors in your organization, they have witnessed many legends and should have some understanding of this."
"Also, if you seriously ask those three ancestors, I believe they will make the same judgment as me. Your chances of becoming a legend are not small."
Angel: "I wonder if the wise master has ever heard of a psychological effect? ​​When you feel that there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will definitely appear."
"So, as for the issue of probability, let him stay in the cloud called probability."
The wise master looked at Angel with some surprise: "What you said is quite interesting."
Angel: “After talking so many digressions, isn’t it time to get to the point?”
The wise man ruled: "Aren't we talking about the main topic now? I thought you would be interested in these murals."
As the wise master spoke, he walked to another wall and gently tapped a mural on the wall, indicating to Angel to look at it.
Angel followed the wise man's finger and frowned slightly when he saw the content on the mural.
On the mural is a figure bathed in light, with four pairs of crow-feather wings on his back. Under this figure, kneeling is a group of people who also have crow-feather wings, but these people have pairs of wings, or two pairs.
Or a pair.
If you look at these crow-feathered people alone, this mural looks like a group of crow-feathered people worshiping the strong ones in the clan.
But next to the figures with four pairs of crow feather wings, there was a flag flying.
When looking closely at the flag, Angel saw a familiar logo.
Snake wrapped around a cone!
A jet black snake wrapped around a golden cone.
Although the color of the awl is slightly different from the snake-wrapped awl Angel saw, other than that, they are almost the same!
"Is this... a snake-wrapped cone?" Angel looked at the wise master in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
"You asked me before, what experiments are being conducted in Naraku City?" The wise master did not answer Angel's question directly, but instead talked about other topics: "The scenes in the murals depict part of the experimental results, and
The subjects of the experiment are a group of people who want to become stronger."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You mean these people with crow feather wings? They were originally ordinary people?" Angel frowned.
The wise man rules: "They are not necessarily ordinary people, there are also many extraordinary people who are extremely eager to become stronger."
The wise master did not deny that there were ordinary people among these people, which actually made Angel feel a little uncomfortable.
Wizards should resolve matters involving wizards themselves and try not to involve ordinary people. This is the default rule in the wizarding world. Using ordinary people for in vivo experiments is directly listed as a taboo in the wizarding world.
"I know what you are thinking. Some things are indeed taboo, but even the most taboo things require exceptions. In times of despair, both ordinary people and extraordinary beings long for a rope that they can grab and pull them away from
Pulled out of the abyss of death."
"And these people are all people who have experienced despair and long for transformation."
People who long for transformation? In Angel’s view, they are actually people full of obsessions.
But sometimes I have to say that in despair, the most supportive force is obsession.
Angel: "The result of the experiment is to give these people who are eager to transform, wings?"
The wise ruler said: "Wings are just a symbol of transcendence. What truly transforms is their body and spirit."
"So, this experiment can be considered a success?"
"It's barely a success, but all the successful people are here." The wise master pointed at the crow-feathered man in the mural, saying it was a lot less, but definitely not a lot.
"So more people were given hope, only to be pushed into despair again?"
The wise master could hear the sarcasm in Angel's tone, but he didn't care: "Reality is always cruel."
It was carried away with a single word.
Angel felt a little depressed, but he couldn't make any big reason. When he spoke for these people who lived thousands of years ago, he still stood on what he thought was the moral high ground, but he also understood that if he was not in the current position, he would
It's hard to understand what's going on right now.
Taking a deep breath, Angel suppressed his emotions and asked, "Then what does these have to do with snake-wrapped cones?"
The wise master said calmly: "Do you know what the snake wrapped around the cone represents?"
Angel thought for a while and then said: "I have heard that the symbol of a snake wrapped around a cone is called the eternal snake emblem; also, it has some relationship with the origin worshipers."
The wise man ruled: "What you said is all half-knowledge."
"Snake Tangled Cone is a force among the Source Worshipers, just like the Karabits, Xi people, Hog people... all have the so-called pure bloodline forces. Snake Tangled Cone is the purest source worshiper bloodline.
The forces formed.”
The wise man ruled: "Asking a digression, you must be a knowledgeable person, right?"
Angel nodded. If we talk about the species, he is a human being. But if we talk about the genus Homo, he is a knower.
"Speaking of which, compared to the example I just gave, you know, you don't care the least about people with so-called pure bloodline." The wise man ruled.
"The characteristic of knowing people is that they have no characteristics. If you don't have characteristics, why should you care about being special or not?" Angel replied casually.
