Chapter 629: Spreading Secrets and Keeping Secrets

“Why is it a good thing that you can’t hear the oracle?”

“A dog is very smart if it can perfectly understand every command of its owner.

But if there is a dog that can guess your thoughts and perfectly execute what you want it to do even without giving it any instructions, it would be even smarter.

This example is very crude, but in some aspects, there are similarities.

I think that what the gods want is not believers who obey their orders. There are too many believers who faithfully carry out the oracles. Only when you follow your own desires and do what the gods want you to do, you can reach a higher realm.

Do you believe in the waning moon, or do you believe in secrecy, commitment, and observation itself?

If you believe in the latter, then why do you need to believe in the waning moon? If you believe in the former, then you are worshipping gods, which is not pure enough. "

"But the gods are the source of those concepts."

“So being pure enough means being close to God. Being able to hear the oracle proves that you are qualified to move forward on this path. If you cannot hear the oracle, it means that you have been abandoned or that you are qualified to travel alone.

It’s a good thing that the oracle is vague, just like an adult can’t always hold your hand while you ride a bicycle, and if you don’t let go, you will never learn.”

"It sounds reasonable at first glance, but as humans, can we really guess what God is thinking?"

"If you care about right and wrong, you're not pure enough. That's what I think," Edward said casually.

At first, Sarah didn't understand, but after a while, she seemed to suddenly understand what Edward meant.

"Is this also part of the secret?" Sarah said in surprise.

"I just expressed my personal opinion."

Edward finished speaking and suddenly changed the subject: "Xia Shou is not on the hunting list you announced, but Xia Shou also has the Seven-branch Fragment. Is this your personal choice or Cang Yue's choice?"

After Edward asked this question, he continued talking without waiting for Sarah to answer.

"Now is the age of keeping secrets. Everyone has forgotten His name. Such a feat was accomplished by Cangyue and Mo Mi together.

This time the writer's bodyguard, Assassin, is a follower of Mo Mi. Edson told me that Xia Shou must kill Assassin with his own hands, and then that person's name can be brought up again.

This matter concerned me a lot, but Edson didn't tell me the deeper secret, so I did some special research on Xia Shou.

You should also know that Xia Shou was originally a person in the book. "

"Hey! Are you crazy!" Sarah lowered her voice and warned in horror.

Edward moved his chair and got closer to Sharo: "I know you know, Miss Sharo, there's nothing to panic about. I'm talking to you, not to anyone else.
What does it matter if I tell the secret and you keep it, and you, the one who keeps the secret, knew the secret from the beginning?"

"Then why did you say it!" Sarah said angrily.

While asking the question, her hand had already drawn a simple symbol on the desk to block out the sound of their conversation.

She knew that this was a bit unnecessary, because the Secret Master and Cang Yue had already made a promise that the Secret Master's authority would be invalid in matters concerning Xia Shou, and the Secret Keeper would have absolute dominance. Therefore, even ordinary people who knew about Xia Shou's life experience could tell others, but Edward, as a believer of the Secret Master, could not do this.

Except for the matter of leaking Xia Shou's secret, Edward, as a believer of the secret transmitter, was completely under the jurisdiction of Cang Yue, which was allowed by their god.

But even so, Sarah still set up a simple ceremony to seek peace of mind.

"Have you ever thought about understanding God? It is impossible for humans to fully understand God, but there must be a side to the influence that God exerts on the world that humans can understand. Don't you want to know the secret behind this?"

"I have no interest in exploring other people's secrets." Sarah said coldly. She was becoming more and more confused about why Edward wanted to see her.

"But you want to keep a secret, and I can't understand the fun of keeping a secret, but I respect you, so I came here specially to say these things to you.

I researched Xia Shou, but apart from the fact that Xia Shou was a marginal character who wasn't even mentioned by name in those books, there was no information worth noting in the three books I found.

But these books, which predicted modern living conditions in the past, are themselves strange.

The book described air conditioning before it was invented, and not only did it predict the emergence of functional appliances such as air conditioners, mobile phones and telephones, but even the names they gave them were exactly the same!

Miss Sarah, can you make such a perfect prediction? "

"Of course not. My predictions are actually very bad." Sarah replied, and he began to feel curious about the doubts raised by Edward.

Yes, she had no interest in exploring secrets, but the desires of all things in the world were mutually arousing. If she wanted to keep a secret, she had to have a secret to keep.

The rarer, more secretive, and more significant the secret is, the higher its value is in keeping it secret. A secret is information, and it is called a secret only when someone does not want it to be spread.

As the "secret tongue" of a secret transmitter, the information that Edward values ​​is naturally of extraordinary value.

“I know that the prediction clearly favors the Forest Horse, but you are a loyal believer of Cangyue. So it’s not that your predictions are inaccurate, but that you clearly have the ability to see clearly, but in order to keep those possibilities secret, you suppressed your own abilities, so you are valued by Cangyue.

But I think that even if you are a believer in the Forest Horse, it is impossible for you to make such a perfect prophecy because it is meaningless.

do you understand? "

Edward is like a teacher who hopes that his students can understand.

His attitude made Sara a little dissatisfied, but she still nodded and gave her evaluation of the matter as a fortune teller:
“The meaning of prophecy is to let people in the present know what will happen in the future.

Therefore, prophecies must be understandable to people today. If the people who wrote those books were truly prophets, they should have written content that can be understood by people of the current era.

The air conditioners of the future should be described as machines that can blow out cold and hot air and are remotely controlled by a square-shaped remote control, rather than being roughly summarized as the word "air conditioner".

People in the past could not infer the actual uses of words like air conditioners, refrigerators, and mobile phones.

But it's not absolute, maybe the prophet didn't intend for anyone to read it, he just wrote it down to prove his genius."

"But don't forget, this is not a book of prophecy. You can enter this book. It is a world in the book."
