Your notoriety is known to everyone.

If agents are running around everywhere by then, the difficulty of gathering the catastrophe will also increase without limit.

After all, the agents would definitely not be anything like Andy Pat's bait. It would be extremely troublesome to keep up with just a few of them around Alice.

Moreover, there is a high probability that these guys will not have the obvious exploitable points like the First Prince. Each one of them is very stubborn for the oracle, and they are not so easy to fool.

Finally, there is the Palifu volcano, which is the eruption point of the fire disaster. If the plot of the water disaster is due to the constant interruption of foreigners who made them impatient and premature eruption, then Logos really can't figure out a volcano. How could there be signs of an eruption a year in advance?

Dang Dang Dang——

Just as Rogers was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the wooden house. When he used magic to open the door, Alice quickly walked into the house.

"The vice-principal wants me to prepare to go to Mount Parif, and she also wants me to participate in the Pantheon's Sacrifice Tournament."

Alice's brows furrowed slightly, her expression troubled, and a trace of confusion flashed in her bright eyes.

"You are the saint chosen by the world, so what if you add a few more identities because of the competition?" Luo Gesi looked at the other party's expression, shook his head and smiled to comfort him, and then continued:

"And since the vice-principal only wants you to go, rather than directly requesting it, it means there is always the possibility of rejection. Please feel at ease and tell me about the situation of Mount Palifu in detail."

Alice's brows slowly widened upon hearing this, and after nodding slowly, she told the information she had learned.

According to the vice-principal's original calculation, the Palifu volcano was not likely to erupt until a year later, but something seemed to have happened there that the vice-principal could not see clearly at the moment.

"She can't see clearly?" Luo Gesi looked thoughtful and couldn't help but repeat the question.

Although because of his appearance, many future destinies have become extremely unclear, and it is normal for the effectiveness of divination to be greatly reduced.

But a natural event like Mount Palifu should not have been affected so seriously, especially since he himself had never been exposed to a major fire disaster.

"Is it possible that it's your best friend? The Chaos Abyss has the attribute of chaos, and it also has the power to muddy the future." Alina reminded her at the right time.

"You're right." Rogers nodded immediately. As the Holy Son of the Chaotic Abyss, his best friend indeed had a chance of accomplishing such a deed.

After pondering for a moment, he shrugged slightly and said: "Don't rush about the departure. I don't want to deal with emergencies like a wave disaster."

He planned to find a way first to see if he could contact his lost friend and learn more about the situation.

When he wanted to continue to ask more details about the situation, his real name suddenly sent a violent fluctuation. This fluctuation was completely different from the feeling when everyone prayed to him before.

"It's a guy I've never seen before. He even offered the essence of earth as a sacrifice..."

Luo Gesi slowly lowered his eyes, immersed his mind in the true name, and then "opened his eyes" again through the true name, looking at the place where the sacrifice was made to him.

"I pray to you, to the greatness of the third level, to the appearance of the third level..."

What comes into view is the vast expanse of sand that seems to be connected to the sky at the end. The dunes form various curves and shapes, and there is no atmosphere of human habitation among the high and low.

The wind blew gently, causing the sand to dance in the air, forming an ever-changing picture.

Right in the center of the scroll, a brown-haired boy in simple clothes was kneeling on the top of the golden sand dune. He was holding the essence of earth in his hands, praying solemnly with his eyes closed, and repeating the same prayer.

The blazing sunlight shone down and reflected on his profile, outlining a clear uprightness.

Next to the young man, there was a girl with brown hair reaching her waist and wearing a pure white sacrificial robe. Her expression was dignified and calm, and her eyes were filled with worry, but she seemed to have a little expectation.

Luo Gesi recognized the other person, that was the person who had hunted down Lilavina before.

Chapter 4: A Little Theological Shock (k)

Fenna stared intently at the young man who was praying. Her fingers trembled slightly in the air unconsciously, pinching an invisible hint of anxiety.

Because the biggest response to Lilavina's prayer was the earth element, she specifically chose the sand to show her piety; and because she was afraid of affecting innocent people, she chose this deserted place.

She gave up chasing the succubus and hurried back to the temple. She looked through all the catalogs recording gods, but could not find any sign of a god with the title "Triple Great".

When the miracle appeared, there was no trace of depravity or symbol of raging chaos, which gave her the courage and curiosity to ask for worship at this time.

But as time passed and there was no response from the scene, her mood gradually became worried, but there was also a little relief in this worry.

Not having to face the gaze of an unknown god is not a bad thing in a way.

"Ivan?"

After waiting for a long time again, Fenner did not dare to stop the other party from praying. At the same time, she was still wary and asked in a low voice.

The young man named Ivan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were like clear lake water, deep and clear, reflecting Fenna's figure standing in the wind and sand.

"Ivan?" Fenna asked softly again, her face slightly surprised, and her body subconsciously tensed up.

She met this young man when she passed by a rural village on her way to preach.

At that time, most of the people in the village were old people and children. The young and middle-aged people all moved to the city with the rise of industry. Only Ivan remained in the village.

The grandparents who raised Ivan passed away one after another in the previous month, and his parents had no news. Coupled with various hardships, he had the idea of ​​​​suicide.

Fenna tried to help him several times, but failed to resolve his knot. After saving Ivan who was about to drown in the river for the last time, she made a request that he pray for her before he ends his life.

At that time, Ivan's eyes were lifeless, but now they were as calm as a pool of water. Something definitely happened that she was not aware of.

"Master Priest, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to see God, a God who is all-kind and gives me wisdom for the future." Ivan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke words of gratitude in a calm tone.

"A god who is all good?" Fenna's face was confused at first, and then sullen immediately appeared. Doesn't these words mean that all the gods in the Pantheon are evil gods? !

“Do you think it is God who enables us to know the world, or the world which enables us to know God?”

Ivan's expression was always the same, exuding a kind of indifference and detachment, like a bright mirror, reflecting Fenner's reaction.

He slowly stood up and looked at Fenner silently, waiting for the other party's answer.

Fenna subconsciously thought about this question, and various answers kept pouring out of her mind, but she still dared not blurt it out.

Because she seemed to see countless answers in Ivan's eyes. There were everything she could say and everything she couldn't.

“The gods say that because of their existence, all parts of the world exist, but how can gods who are truly worthy of worship be restricted to their inherent authority by the laws they created?

"Can God really only have this kind of limited existence? And then he wants to impose this kind of limitation on us?

"The so-called universals, those chaotic concepts, are just useful fictions, just like the so-called apple does not exist, it is just a 'seed'.

"But the world cannot help but rely on universals. Every time we use these generalizations and these established concepts, we are moving away from God and the only and ultimate reality.

"Because the real God does not need universals, falsehood, or such hypocrisy and lies that exist all the time."

The foundation of Ivan's words comes from the famous Occam's razor theory of Rogers's previous life. Although people in previous lives often used it to oppose blind belief, the Franciscan friar Occam proposed "Don't use it unless necessary." When "increasing substance", it is precisely used to safeguard God's omnipotence and freedom.

After the razor was unsheathed, it ruthlessly cut off the scholastic philosophy and theology that had been debated for several generations. It also allowed philosophy, the handmaiden of theology, to grow continuously until science was completely born.

Likewise, this "advanced" razor also shaved Fenner to a point of confusion.

"Do you want to see it? See the three layers of eternity, see the greatest, most good, and most beautiful reality." After Ivan said this, he asked again.

Fenna's shoulders were trembling, full of uneasiness, as if she was trying to escape some invisible threat, and suddenly fell to the ground.

She suddenly understood why the succubus could gain strength by praying to the other party, and why Ivan could also gain enlightenment by praying to the other party.

This god is not bound by morality or laws. He is truly all-good. He is also a "free person" that completely exceeds her inherent knowledge and is completely different from all gods.

"People are prisoners trapped in a cave. This cave is dark. The prisoners have been locked inside since childhood. Their necks and legs are bound by iron chains, and they can only look straight at the wall in front of them.

"There are shadows cast by firelight on the wall. These shadows come from objects and things in the outside world. Prisoners can only see shadows throughout their lives.

“However, they mistakenly believe that these shadows are all there is to the real world, without realizing that shadows are just illusions of the real world.

"There is a passage behind the cave, through which you can go outside the cave. An awakened person walked out of the cave, saw the light and saw the reality. He returned to the cave in good faith and tried to persuade his companions to get them out of the cave.

"It's a pity that his companions either thought he was talking nonsense, or they were afraid of him, so afraid that they wanted to kidnap or even kill him."

Ivan's eyes were full of compassion, and he looked down at Fenna who was slumped on the ground. His words contained sighs and sighs, telling the story of the cave (Plato's "Utopia") given to him by Logos.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, and not far in front of him, a torrent suddenly spewed out, forming a gorgeous water column under the reflection of the sun.

An area filled with water mist quickly formed around the spring water. The breeze blew through, gently caressing the water mist, and seeped into the dry land.

The originally dry sand gradually showed a touch of emerald green, grass broke through the ground tenaciously, shrubs and trees grew one after another, gradually becoming denser and full of fruits.

Fenna looked at the rapidly expanding oasis in the mist, the spiritual surge of earth and water, and the intertwined symbols of fertility and nurturing.

"What are you going to do?" Fenner tried her best to calm down her turbulent emotions and asked aloud.

"Think about the wisdom of the triple great." Ivan closed his eyes and replied emotionlessly.

Fenna stood up slowly with her hands on the ground. Her heart was churning at the moment. Ivan's words just now gave her too much blow.

She even dared not to think deeply or pray anymore, because she was afraid that the god she believed in would not be able to give her a better response.

But through Ivan's eyes, she clearly felt that the explanations in her heart were either covered up or too rough to be resisted at all.

But if the confusion is not resolved, this seed of doubt will inevitably take root, sprout, and grow until it really begins to shake her belief, because at this time she can't help but make blasphemous comparisons between truth and falsehood.

"I can't go to the elders of the temple, but is there any wise person in the world who can answer this seemingly unsolvable question..."

As she thought about it, she unconsciously thought of that being who was enthusiastically praised by various academic circles.

"That good-for-nothing Antipat should be in St. Helte right now." Fenna looked back at Ivan, took a deep breath, and walked away from this miraculous place.

……

"worn out……"

Rogers was sitting on the sofa, wearing a monocle on his left eye, looking like he was about to be overdrawn.

Alice and Alina beside him also looked quite weak, as if they had been drained dry.

Not long after casting his gaze, Rogers discovered an undercurrent not far away from the sand with the newly acquired water spirituality. In order to reveal it, he pulled Alice and Alina and worked hard to create it. The wonder of an oasis emerging from the sand.

In addition, he also reviewed a lot of relevant theological knowledge several times, and even picked up the discussion of "God" and "Triple Nature" in Plato's "Timaeus" in his later years.

The evolving Eastern mysticism of Plato, coupled with the major patches discussed by many later Abrahamic monotheistic saints, strengthened his confidence in apologetics.

I just didn't expect that Occam's razor would stop Fenner's words and make the other party sufficiently shaken.

However, although he did not use it on Fenner, in the process of quick thinking, Luo Gesi also gained a deeper understanding of divinity.

All he has at his disposal is the symbol of "game," the divinity that transitions from chaos to order and then breeds chaos.

If we can complete order and chaos, once again achieve the trinity cycle, and completely transcend regulations, maybe we can find a new path.

"Take a rest, I'm really getting more tired these days." Rogers glanced at the two girls beside him from the corner of his eye, nestled on the sofa, and sighed.

His thoughts gradually calmed down. After all, it was still too far away to think about Godhead before even dealing with the fire disaster in front of him.

In the remaining days, he would occasionally pay attention to Ivan. He found that Ivan's piety was comparable to Eddie's, but he received too much wisdom in one moment, making the other person not like Eddie. Si Napan is comprehending wisdom, but wisdom is manifesting knowledge through Ivan's mouth.

Fortunately, Fenner did not continue to be serious, otherwise Ivan would probably become a man who could not speak and would only let words speak for his existence.

The weather in spring always makes people feel relaxed and happy. The sky is often blue and clear. Occasionally, a few white clouds pass by, floating gently in the sky. The breeze blows, making the new green sway gently, making a pleasant rustling sound.

The early morning sunshine shone on Rogers through the treetops. He came to the familiar spiral tower and conducted a day of teaching.

There is a current trend in St. Helte, and that is "punctuality".

A clock that does not rely on magic to drive at all has been truly created, and this machine that allows many people to make agreements with each other and save waiting time has gradually become loved by many students and instructors of St. Helte.

Just in the corner of the classroom, there stands an exquisite pendulum clock with the motto from "The Record of Jade" engraved on it.

Among the people who came to attend the lecture, in addition to the first-year students, there were also second-year and third-year students, and even some tutors and professors were mixed in the back row.

Because they all know that in addition to teaching the basics, Luo Gesi will often explain many of his insights into the spell magic he created, as well as his unique insights into the origin of the world.

After finishing the day's teaching, in the evening, when Rogers took many club members to the event venue, Alice and Eunice also met up on the way.

"Is there any news?" Alice tried to ask after chatting with Rogers after meeting him.

"It should be soon. There should be a reply within three days." Rogers replied.

It is quite difficult to contact the close friend of the Chaos Abyss. The most convenient people to help him do this are the followers of the Abyss. However, due to their stance, it is also the most difficult for this group of people to do it.

So he could only ask the believers to help collect information, and then the succubus would find a way to contact and send a message.

Fortunately, things are progressing smoothly and there is no need to wait too long.

When Erina saw Rogers and Alice walking side by side at the club door, she slowly narrowed her eyes. She turned her head slightly and asked Lufia, who was nibbling pastries next to her: "Have you been a Saint lately?" Spending too much time with Logos?”

"Huh?" Lufia finished chewing the pastry and swallowed it hard before she subconsciously asked. However, being good at observing, she quickly grasped the key point of the problem and nodded seriously: "Yeah!"

Elena looked at Lufia, with a trace of helplessness on her face. She reached out and stroked Lufia's fluffy hair, and then walked towards Logos.

Not long after, Derek also came to the club. What was different from usual was that his expression was obviously uneasy. When helping Rogers prepare everyone's meals, he would make some troubles because of his uneasiness.

"What happened?" Rogers used magic power to hold the ingredients that almost fell off the chopping board, frowned slightly and said to Derek: "We are the only ones here, let's talk."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people setting up the dining table in the distance and signaled to Derek that he could rest assured.

Derek withdrew his hand with an apologetic look, and then unconsciously clenched it into a fist, pressed his thumb on his palm, rolled his throat a few times, and said to Rogers in a slightly uneven tone: "Miara encouraged me to ask You. Nice confessed, I thought about it for a long time and decided to follow her advice.”

The movement of Luo Gesi's hand was obviously that the little priest hoped that Derek could completely cut off his love for Eunice. Judging from the situation in which Derek was likely to run away with him in the future, it was not possible. What a bad thing.
