Chapter 145 The God of Intellectual Deficiency

After obtaining these six thousand Ori, the dilemma of extreme cash shortage was temporarily relieved.The organization in Ke Lin's hands started the next stage of expansion ahead of schedule.

More Ankh soldiers are being secretly recruited. They are happy to follow the symbol of "Heinrich", hoping that their lives will be settled.After Colin promised to provide [-] Ori immediately, Benedict has found more than [-] bartenders and bartenders who lost their jobs due to the Prohibition, and four underground bars are ready to be put into operation at any time.

Under the eyelids of the five hands, Colin and Julio cooperated secretly, and the large vacuum left by Capello's series of cleaning operations will be absorbed and digested in a very short period of time.

Colin looked at the map of Stade in the attic. Its south side was being dyed with its own color little by little. It was like his own backyard.But if it continues to expand in the Sindhi area, it will inevitably attract the attention of Marizio and others.And the Sincilians, who have always been poor, can hardly provide higher returns in a short period of time.

So it's time to go to the richer old city.

Take your eyes off the Five Hands and Cincily's home for a while, and grab food from that emerging "Northern Organization".

Colin, meanwhile, knew Prohibition was about to take action, but he never considered slowing down.Because now is the best time.Once people saw that Prohibition was powerless, new competitors would spring up.If you don't take advantage of the new advantages now, you may still be lost in the crowd.

According to Benedict's estimation, if one does not become the bootlegger king of Stade and even the entire principality, and completely monopolizes this huge market that is slowly awakening, it is impossible to achieve the goal before the Lingsu tide arrives. .

This is not a reckless advance. Colin has already done enough details in place before adopting a more aggressive strategy in the overall situation.

Even if you really go to the worst step, the identity of "Heinrich" can be discarded at any time.

Ji Lian did not disappoint Ke Lin's expectations. In fact, on the night Ke Lin left, she had already stripped out the relevant components of materialization.

"It's the first time I've seen this mirror image work outside of a textbook."

The mirror image in her mouth refers to the "Master".It is one of the most famous seven mirror images of creation, and because it is widely used, it almost supports a separate category of spells: "material knot spell".But with Ji Lian's status at the time, she didn't have a chance to witness it actually take effect, as well as express it in ways other than words.

Ji Li'an caressed those separated maps carefully. Last night, like peeling cocoons, she found clues about the master from the classical structure of the "mass solution technique".Pick out the fragments that have been mixed into other mirror images one by one, and assemble and restore them.

"This is the graphic expression of the mirror image of 'Master'."

Ji Lian looked at the work she got through her exploration with satisfaction:
"Appears as a thick disc, like a full stop, which was mistaken by some ancients for the beginning of creation, but in fact it only represents the realization of overflow, 'the power is caked at the end of the branch', and our material world is the result of this birth .”

It sounds similar to the description of the ears of wheat in the Ashmolean literature group, and Colin had also heard this expression from Mr. One, except that he called this form at the time. ".

When Ke Lin mentioned Demuge, Ji Lian's eyes seemed to light up slightly.

"The image of 'Builder' Demuger is the most exquisite depiction of the mirror image of the 'Great Master' in the human unconsciousness, without missing a single feature. He comes from the ancient mythology of the old Ankhesian. That's right, it is where we stand now The region, but the peoples who sang these stories were extinct in the Dark Ages."

"In addition to the 'builder', Demuge is also known as the 'God of Intellectual Deficiency', because he only creates things according to blueprints, like an ignorant machine. He completes the transformation, but does not perform any development. The old security Hedemuge is the first master described as an evil god among the seven known craftsman myths, but it also makes human beings' cognition of this mirror image more complete:

Contrary to the true Creator, He is the killer of inspiration and passion, the deep cold of silence and sluggishness.In the old Ankh mythology, he is also regarded as the original devil.The prison built by Demuge imprisoned himself, and also imprisoned all living beings in the material world. "

Without waiting for Colin to answer, Ji Lian went on to say:

"So the most important feature of the 'Master' mirror image is 'the gradual cooling of enthusiasm, and the end of ignorance.' If you think about it this way, you will find that this theme appears in many stories. What it describes is From lightness to heaviness, from ethereal to vulgar, from fresh to dead."

"Lingsu enters spiritual annihilation, and is forever consolidated into matter, which is a manifestation of this mirror image."

Whenever Ke Lin responded to these contents, Ji Lian would fall into an inexplicable excitement.Obviously the speed of speech and expression didn't change much, but if she didn't interrupt her, she would keep talking.

So Ke Lin rarely discussed these topics with Ji Lian, after all, it was difficult for him to keep up with his train of thought.It was obviously a mistake to show off the knowledge about the master Demuge to her accidentally today.

"Oh...so that's the case." "I see, it's really obvious."

While pretending to understand and echoing, Colin once again felt his ignorance and dullness in the comparison.Obviously, most of the materials that Ji Lian had read were brought to her by herself. Why couldn't my past self decipher this information?

But even so, Ke Lin could hear Ji Lian's tendency to use words, which was obviously different from Mr. No. [-].

Mr. No. [-] intentionally skipped to himself the content that Demuger is an evil god, and only used neutral words in his narration.This may be related to Cincily's concept of life, after all, he believes: "Only the material world is a refuge."

Heavy, vulgar, dead silent.The Old Ankh used this term to describe the creation of the Masters, the physical world in which they lived.This faintly reveals a feeling of world-weariness.This is not necessarily the essence of the 'master', it may be the long-standing despair of this nation.

Why is the world impermanent and never changed for human suffering?If the real God is merciful, then there must be an evil god obstructing it, and we are in the embrace of the evil god.

It is under this primitive logic that Demuger is gradually portrayed as "the original devil".

The first holy king "Elgard" maintained neutrality and restraint towards all myths as much as possible.But in the endless suffering of the dark age at that time, it was inevitable to feel hopeless and tired of reality.Therefore, when sorting out the mirror images of great masters, he consciously or unconsciously turned to the intellectually deficient "Demuger", an image with negative prejudice.

If the emotional color attached to this series of craftsman myths is excluded, in Colin's view, the essential feature of this mirror image may be "a lack of intellectual, mechanical transformation."

A transformation that no intention can affect, from its process to its product.

For Colin, who received a materialistic education in his previous life, this essence made him feel a subtle kindness.But as for whether such a "master" is good or bad for human beings, it is a matter of opinion.

Intentions cannot be directly effected, which happens to be the most fundamental difference between material reality and things above the virtual world.

"Although it has been widely used, the current understanding of Master Mirror Image is still limited. It has not been established independently, and it generally takes effect with other components." Ji Li'an said:
"I've been thinking about it today, is it possible to apply this mirror image to the 'Mystery of the Hearth'. However, I always feel that there is no idea..."

Ke Lin nodded slightly. To Ji Lian, the mystery of the hearth was originally a black box.It is already extremely difficult to move it from the conscious to the deep level of consciousness, and it is a bit difficult to add materialized components.

Staying with Ji Li'an, you will inexplicably have an illusion that the adaptation ceremony seems very simple.But Colin knew that this was really just an illusion.Although he has also studied the basic principles of the three major units and mirror resonance, if he is asked to do it himself, he can only go crazy.

But with a thought in his mind, he suddenly thought that if he told Ji Lian his understanding of "Master", he wondered what enlightenment it would give her.
