While Angel was remembering the mural, the wise master had already arrived at the center of the room.
He sat directly on the floor.
"We've almost talked about the murals. Now we can talk about the eternal snake emblem you mentioned, and those... origin worshippers you are concerned about."
Angel also came to the opposite side of the Wise Lord. He originally wanted to make an illusion chair to sit on, but the Wise Lord always sat on the ground, and he was too embarrassed to be in a high position. He could only follow the Wise Lord and sit cross-legged on the ground.
.
"Let's talk about the eternal snake emblem first." The wise man ruled: "Before we talk about the topic, I want to ask you, why do you think the eternal snake emblem is a snake wrapped around a cone?"
Angel didn't answer and asked instead: "Has the wise master ever heard of the Kulakuka tribe?"
The wise ruler pondered for a moment and then said with slight hesitation: "You mean the small human race?"
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Little human race?"
In a sense, the Kulakuka tribe is indeed considered a small human race. Their bodies are no more than the size of a palm. What are they if they are not little humans? However, is their scientific name really called a small human race?
The wise master heard Angel's doubts, so he explained: "In the Southern Territory, except for humans, those who can be accepted by wizards and can learn extraordinary knowledge need to be close relatives of the human race in terms of blood. Here, according to
The categories are: giants, humanoids, dwarves and small humans.”
"Among this series of close relatives of the human race, most people would think that the dwarves may be the closest to humans, because there are many humans who are not taller than the dwarves. And except for the fact that dwarves look a bit like dwarfs, they are no different from humans."
"But in fact, the dwarves are not too closely related to humans, they are only a little higher than the humanoids."
"Actually, the closest blood relatives to humans are the little humans. The kind of little humans that are about the size of a palm."
"There are rumors that the little humans are actually a race created by some powerful extraordinary wizards with their own blood when they were looking for a path to miracles. Therefore, their structure is almost the same as that of humans."
"For this reason, small humans will generally not be blocked from entering the wizarding organization. On the contrary, humanoids, giants, dwarves, and wizarding organizations may not be willing to accept them."
Angel had briefly heard of what the wise master said before, but this was the first time he heard such detailed information.
What the wise masters say is the same as reality.
The talented people of the Kulakuka tribe were not blocked at all when they entered the barbaric cave, and the wizard was willing to be their mentor.
"The Kulakuka tribe should be considered a small human race." Angel sighed: "I thought the wise master had never heard of them."
The wise master said: "I have seen a lot of small human tribes, but I have never seen the Kulakuka tribe. However, I have read a lot of wizard travel notes, and some of them also recorded the events of the Kulakuka tribe. I remember,
It seems that the Kulakuka people are protected by Castle Black?”
Angel nodded: "Yes."
Currently, part of the Kulakuka tribe is still under the protection of Castle Black, and the other part is protected by Angel.
"You suddenly mentioned that the Kulakuka clan is related to the eternal snake emblem?"
Angel: "Well, the term "Eternal Serpent Emblem" was told to me by the priest of the Kulakuka tribe. The priest told me that the symbol of the snake entwined cone is called the "Eternal Serpent Emblem"; and the ring-shaped awl in it is called "Eternal Serpent Emblem".
It’s called the Cone of Immortality.”
The wise master raised his eyebrows: "Cone of Eternal Life? This is the first time I have heard of it. It was named after the descendants of the people who worshiped the source? Also, why do the Kulakuka people know this information?"
Angel: "I don't know if it was named after the descendants of the people who worshiped it. However, because the Kulakuka tribe lived in a fairy tale world and witnessed the overthrow of the Serpent Kingdom, they have some information about the Serpent Kingdom.
What you know.”
"The country of giant snakes." The wise master pondered for a moment: "I have vaguely heard of it, but I never thought it was related to the snake entangled cone."
Angel: "As far as I know, the country of the giant snake is a mortal country, where the medical arts are very prosperous, and all those who practice medicine in the country of the giant snake will swear an oath to the logo of the snake entangled with the cone.
"
"Oath?" The wise man ruled: "Is it related to the snake wrapped around the cone?"
Angel shook his head: "The content of the oath is basically the norms after practicing medicine, as well as the ethics of doctors. There is no mention of snakes entangled with cones."
"That's it." The wise master touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "According to your statement, and some of my own conjectures, perhaps there are handwritings by descendants of the source worshipers in the country of giant snakes. The snake winding cone is in
The worshipers are indeed good at medical treatment, so in the country of giant snakes, taking a snake-wrapped cone as a doctor's oath of office is absolutely inseparable from the worshipers."
"That's my guess." Angel was silent for a moment and pointed to the black snake on the snake cone: "I have encountered a wise black snake at the ruins of the Kingdom of Giant Snakes before.
Having lived for thousands of years, I thought this black snake was the snake on the cone."
"But now it seems that I must have misunderstood."
Angel previously believed that the symbol of the snake entwined cone was: the eternal snake emblem.
The snake on the emblem of the eternal snake is Axl. The cone on the emblem of the eternal snake is the cone of eternal life.
But now the wise master told him that he had never heard of the Cone of Immortality. There was also the emblem of the eternal snake. Although the wise master had not clearly said that it was not a snake entangled cone, from his tone, it was basically certain that the two should be
There is no way to draw an equal sign.
In other words, Angel's past perceptions may be all wrong.
However, when Angel was reflecting on his cognitive errors, the wise master said: "Times have changed, and what I know is not necessarily correct. It is like the cone of immortality, since it is among the giant snakes.
Guo is a recognized name, which means that the descendants of Baiyuan at that time also recognized it."
"And what I know happened thousands of years ago. This period of time was enough to turn green forests into deserts and turn plains into ridges. So, you don't need to care about my answer. Use your own judgment. I
The answer is just a reference."
In the midst of emotion, the wise master spoke out the "answer" to the eternal snake emblem thousands of years ago.
The relationship between the snake-wrapped cone and the eternal snake emblem is not the same as Angel understood it. But the eternal snake emblem is not completely unrelated to the snake-wrapped cone.
As an internal force of the Baiyuan tribe, the Snake Tangle Cone is good at medical treatment and research. In wizard terms, they tend to be academic.
As for those in the academic community who focus on medical research, the most basic one is to conquer stubborn diseases, a slightly more advanced one is to study the causes of diseases, and a more advanced one is targeted research on the micro and macro worlds, and the ultimate goal of medical research is,
It is the study of...eternal life.
The same is true for the academic circles in the wizarding world, and the same is true for the Earth scholars Jon mentioned.
The pursuit of immortality is probably a stamp engraved on the human mind, the highest command center of the human body, the brain.
Not only for human beings themselves, but also for the continuation of the "brain" self.
Although saying this is a bit of a separation between the brain and the mind, many experiments tell humans that the brain sometimes deceives even what it thinks. Just like the famous split-brain experiment, the left and right brains made up things in order to deceive you.
It may seem like a joke to others, but you yourself won't find it problematic at all.
Likewise, the pursuit of eternal life is also the goal of the snake wrapped around the cone.
They believe that the Source Worshipers are a race favored by fate, and that they are the true darlings of the world's will. Shouldn't they be so talented and deserve to live forever?
Therefore, there are those who worship the source who pursue eternal life, and this group of people is like a snake wrapped around a cone.
The ultimate goal of the snake wrapped around the cone is eternal life. And the concrete representative of this eternal life is the so-called eternal snake emblem.
After listening to the wise master's narration, Angel personally believed it, because these matters had nothing to do with the core interests of Narok City, and the study of immortality was not only done by worshipers, so no matter how he thought about it, the logic was self-consistent.
However, what Angel doesn't understand is: "Why 'snake' and 'emblem'?"
First of all, why is the snake used as a symbol of eternal life? Also, why is eternal life just a logo?
Or is Angel misunderstanding that the snake emblem is not a logo, but a symbolic meaning?
Angel asked his doubts, but the wise master did not answer directly, but asked: "Why can't eternal life be a logo?"
Before Angel could answer, the wise master continued: "For the worshipers, the continuation of civilization can be the fire burning on the altar in the unknown dimension. Then why can't eternal life be a logo on the altar in the unknown dimension?
?”
After hearing the wise master's question, Angel vaguely understood.
"The logo placed in the altar... the eternal snake emblem..." Angel murmured in a low voice: "What the worshipers want to do is truly a journey against heaven."
The wise master was very satisfied with Angel's understanding: "So you should understand now that the reason for the extinction of the Source Worshipers is not as simple as it seems. Xicia has been thinking about it for so many years and has not figured it out. It is because she is in the game. See
What you finally arrive at is what you can see before your eyes.”
Angel did not answer, but he agreed with what the wise master said.
Snake's ambition was more terrifying than he imagined.
As long as the worshipers close their eyes, they can see an altar burning with blazing flames. This is the Source Fire Altar. Outsiders don’t know where the real location of the altar is, but for the worshipers, the altar is what they share.
A spiritual connection.
Source Fire is their spiritual source.
