For five full minutes, Gawain didn't even recover.
After he came to his senses, he stared blankly at the fragments of the eternal slate in front of him and fell into a state of trough for a long time.
The huge amount of information echoed in his mind, and the thoughts in his mind were jumping up and down like a drunk Amber. At this moment, Gawain felt that he had thousands of words stuck in his throat, but just Because the blockage was so solid, I was so stunned that I couldn't say a word...
Only one thing is certain: I really heard those things just now, caused by the "immersion state" The slight dizziness still remained, making him extremely sure of this.
So these are the contents recorded in the Eternal Slate? Is this the knowledge about gods?
Gawain looked at the pale golden metal plate as if he had seen a ghost. As soon as this idea came to his mind, he couldn't help but shake his head - impossible, those mortal sages who originally founded the religion will be in eternity. What I heard in the slate cannot be these things. After listening to these things, who with a stupid brain would create a church for this group of gods who sound like they have been killed!
Then he began to wonder if it was a bad joke or some audacious hoax.
But what’s the point of this joke? Who would do this kind of scam? Who would create such content with what purpose? And most importantly - in such a primitive and backward medieval society, who with such a brilliant mind could make up the term "heavy bomber"? !
Gawain frowned, thinking about the meaning behind the information carried by this eternal tablet, and deeply doubted whether what normal believers heard after coming into contact with these tablets was the same. something.
After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision and greeted outside the tent: "Betty! Go and call Philip, Hetty and Amber."
After a while , the three of them came to Gawain's tent.
Gawain looked at the three people in front of him. These three people were the most trustworthy and religious people he knew in the territory, and they could represent three different types of believers: Philip is a devout believer in the Ares Cult and has even been baptized; Hetty is a formal believer in the Goddess of Magic, but has a shallow degree of belief; Amber is a psychotic believer in the Goddess of Night and the God of Shadows.
Almost the three mental states of mortals after believing in gods can be found in these three people...
Gawain put the fragment of the eternal stone slab on the table and said to Pushing forward: "You know what this is, right?"
"A fragment of the eternal stone," Amber said matter-of-factly, "I saw you carrying this thing in your arms."< /p>
Hetty was not present at the time, so she looked at the pale golden metal plate curiously at this time, but she had also learned about the fragments of the eternal stone slab from Gawain before, so at this time There was no surprise, just looking at his ancestors curiously, noKnow what Gawain wants to do.
"You guys get in touch with it," Gawain nodded, "touch it with spiritual power - Philip, you come first."
Gawain is not worried about the "slate" Harmful, because he has tried it himself. Apart from some shocking information records, it will not have long-term effects on the body, and even if Hetty and the other two people really hear the knowledge of the gods when they come into contact with the fragments, because of this piece The fragment was very small, and it would not brainwash the three of them into fanatic believers—otherwise, all the kings, nobles, and big businessmen who regarded the slate fragments as collections would have already become fanatic believers.
Philip showed a look of surprise and hesitation: "Sir, are you...really sure? You want to give me this opportunity?"
"I'm sure, but I have something I want to remind you," Gawain nodded, "No matter what you hear or see after coming into contact with the fragment, stay calm. Even if you hear something that is contrary to your beliefs... don't get too excited, because this thing may It's fake."
He first took a precaution to prevent the devout knight Philip from having his worldview shattered after hearing something he shouldn't have heard. Philip was curious as he approached the fragments of the stone slab. He asked: "Maybe it's a fake?"
"I'm not sure, you can try it first."
Knight Philip nodded and put his hand on the fragments of the stone slab. , and drive his own spiritual power to tentatively connect with the fragment.
Almost immediately, Gawain felt a subtle change in the aura of the young knight. A vast, ancient and mysterious power seemed to envelope him, making his whole body "sublimated." "Up, however, this breath may actually be just an illusion, because Gawain did not feel any change in Philip's own power, and the strange breath only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared.
After a moment, Knight Philip opened his eyes. He glanced at the fragments of the stone slab with an expression of surprise and excitement, and then stepped away slightly, with joy on his face: "My lord, I seemed to hear the God of War's voice. There was an... indescribable sense of enlightenment and enlightenment in my heart. I felt like I had received some kind of blessing. This blessing might be of great help in practicing my martial arts in the future! ”
Gawain raised his eyebrows: "That's all?"
"Yes, this is a feeling that is difficult to describe," Knight Philip nodded calmly, and then asked curiously, "But did you just "I said it might be fake...could it be that I had an illusion?"
"I just said it might be fake, but judging from your reaction, it's probably genuine," Gao said. Wen's mood changed, but he didn't show his expression. He just looked at Hetty and said, "Come and try it."
Hetty nodded, and stepped forward to put his hand on the fragment of the eternal stone slab. superior.
This time, Gawain also felt a subtle change in Hetty's breath, but this change was more subtle and brief, and Hetty opened her eyes faster.: "Ancestor, I feel that I seem to have glimpsed some magical mysteries, and I have a vague sense of enlightenment, but it is not as obvious and profound as Philip Knight said. And I don't know if it is an illusion, but this stone seems to be repelling me. ...Contact, just when I was about to use that sense of enlightenment to think about a certain spell model, the power of the stone fragments suddenly avoided it, and there seemed to be a voice telling me to avoid further contact with it..."
"Actively avoid it?" Gawain repeated in surprise, suddenly feeling that the situation was a bit more complicated.
Is the goddess of magic different from other gods? Isn't her inheritance through the Eternal Tablets?
While thinking, he cast his gaze on Amber. Before he could speak, the half-elf lady couldn't wait to come forward: "Hey, it's my turn, it's my turn! Look at you guys Everyone said it so mysteriously, is this thing really that powerful?"
Before she finished speaking, she had already put her hand on the surface of the fragment, then closed her eyes and held back her strength to establish a connection with the metal plate. .
After a while, her brows frowned, her hands became harder and harder, her face turned red, and even the table shook slightly. Seeing this situation, Gawain quickly said: "Let's Isn't it because you use your mental strength to connect? You'll be responsible for pulling this thing out after it's pressed into the table? He took his hand away, "I used my mental power! But there was no reaction at all. I heard or felt nothing... By the way, you two were acting to deceive us, right?"
Philip Knight: "How is that possible! You can obviously feel enlightenment very clearly!"
Hetty also frowned: "I felt it too, although it was very weak..."
Amber looked at the two people in front of him suspiciously, and then at the metal plate on the table: "Is it possible that the energy of this thing is limited? It is weakened every time it is touched, so you two feel weaker and weaker, and I have no response now. ?”
Gawain immediately felt that what the girl said made sense, so he asked Knight Philip to try again on the spot, but the result was completely contrary to Amber’s guess: Knight Philip was once again attracted by that wonderful breath. Surrounded by the stone slab, Gawain even suspected that he would become an immortal if he came into contact with the fragments of the stone slab for a while...
"It seems that Amber really can't resonate with the stone slab," Gawain shook his head, " Maybe it has something to do with the degree of religious devotion. Philip is a devout believer, Hetty is an ordinary believer, and you are a nervous... light believer. This is probably the reason. Are you really a believer in the God of Shadow? ”
< p> "Yes! Why not!" Amber suddenly bulged her eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with Gawain's question, "I have believed in the goddess for more than ten years! Let me tell you, although I have not been baptized , I have never entered a church, but I have prayed carefully every time I think about it, and the goddess has chatted with me several times..."Hedit looked up and down at Amber questioningly.Eye: "Are you sure you are not hallucinating after drinking too much Shadow Potion?"
Amber immediately jumped to his feet: "Don't think you can say whatever you want because you have big breasts!"
"Ahem, can you two stop quarreling when we meet, and every time you quarrel is so trivial?" Gawain interrupted the two of them with a headache, and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I'll do it too There’s nothing else, you go back and do your own thing, I have to think about it.”
The three of them, full of doubts, left the tent, leaving Gawain looking at the fragments of slate on the table. In deep thought.
Based on the reactions of Philip and the other three, the fragments of the slate may be real.
However, what they heard after touching the stone slab was completely different from what they heard!
And this "difference" is not the first time.
The high-level priestess Sandy from last time was a fairly normal human being in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Gawain, she was a translucent figure that was glowing all over.
This time, after touching the fragments of the eternal slate, others felt that they heard the knowledge of the gods. However, in Gawain's mind, what echoed was that a force suspected of being formed by the Zentraedi fleet was involved. Read the entire Communication records of the divine world.
Gawain couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Could it be that as long as "gods" are involved, my perception will be different from that of ordinary people? What I saw and heard... was it the truth or an illusion?
