NOVEL NEXT Chapter 110 Death is the only miracle
"Ah?" Ian was a little confused after seeing the last note. "That shouldn't be the case. Isn't there a true god in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire? Why can you learn magic from different gods?"
Annie did not answer this question. Perhaps in her AI logic, this question had nothing to do with the setting.
After thinking about it, Ian changed his question method.
"Players can learn the magic of different divine systems through system props. Is it because the power of the system offsets the conflicts between these legal systems?"
"No." Anne answered this time.
"No?" Ian frowned, "So, is there a true god in this world?"
"God's influence will be reflected in all aspects of this world, but he will never directly participate in human struggles. As for whether God exists, this is unknown."
"You are the system AI! How could you not know? Wait." Ian suddenly remembered that Anne's explanation was very similar to the original words of the original author Martin! When the host asked Martin in an interview whether gods existed in the world of ice and fire, he said he didn't know.
So. Ian fell into deep thought.
Although Anne did not give a definite answer but quoted the words of the original author to prevaricate this question, from the perspective that "players can learn the magic of different gods at the same time" and "it is not the power of the system that offsets the conflict between different legal systems" From two points of view, the true God most likely does not exist.
Those guys called 'gods' are only the controllers or the strongest of these powers, not the creators.
Then, Ian thought of a Braavos proverb: "Death is the only miracle, the rest is magic."
He once thought that this was because the people of Braavos mainly believed in the Many-Faced God, who represented death, so they made up words to disparage other gods.
But looking at it from another perspective, does this mean that the Braavos people who said these words discovered something?
Braavos is a city founded by slaves who escaped from Valyria. The escaped slaves came from many different places and held various beliefs.
They include the Andals, the Summer Isles, the Ghiscari, the Nath, the Ibben, the Thalor, and the debt-ridden and criminal Valyrians
Almost every faith in the world has gathered in Braavos, and Braavos has built temples to almost every god.
So who in the world is more qualified to evaluate these gods than the original Braavos people?
If the people of Braavos attribute all miracles except death to magic, does that mean that all the gods of the world of ice and fire are just humans with powerful magic or can be called false gods? ?
Thinking of this, Ian suddenly thought about many things, such as the destruction of Dawn Kingdom and Valyria Free Fortress.
These two countries have very similar situations. In their heyday, they were both invincible and conquered the world. At one time, all the nations came to visit, and then they perished inexplicably due to natural disasters.
It was as if the gods were afraid of the greatness of mankind and took action to destroy it.
If the gods were true gods, why would they be afraid of the great civilization created by humans?
But if they were false gods, these things would be explained.
Thinking of this, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although even those guys are false gods, with the power to destroy the Kingdom of Dawn or the Free Fortress of Valyria, they are basically no different from true gods to Ian now.
But it's impossible for Ian to touch them now.
As long as they are not true gods, Ian does not have to worry about being bound by the 'gods' of that department when learning magic, which is definitely a huge piece of good news.
Without further entanglement, Ian began to study the magic provided by the scroll.
The first is the Old God system, with two selection boxes popping up on the interface.
[Shapechanger: Gain the ability to invade the consciousness of animals or other people and control their behavior]
[Green Seer: The ability to obtain the green dream (prophetic dream), enter the weirwood and gain its vision, and explore the past requires the master level of the transfiguration skill, which is currently unavailable]
There can only be one shapechanger out of a thousand people, and only one green seer out of a thousand shapechangers. To become a 'green seer' through a scroll, you need to have the ability points of the shapechanger fully as a prerequisite. It worked.
In the 'prison' of Illyrio's mansion, if I could transform into a mouse, cat, or bird, I would definitely be able to get a lot of useful information.
Ian had already decided in his mind to consume one of the scrolls on [Shapechanger], but he still clicked to return to the previous level.
Since you can see all the options after using the scroll, it's not a waste of time.
The second is the magic of the Seven Gods system.
Excuse me?
Did I hear that correctly? Does the Seven Gods system also have magic?
Even when Ian was most convinced that the gods of the world of ice and fire were true gods, he also knew that the seven gods of the Andals were complete false gods, not even false gods. They were simply tools fabricated by humans to maintain their rule. .
After all, this religion is obviously in a fantasy world, but it has never produced any miracles (even if they are fake).
They said that their iron-making technology was taught to them by the 'blacksmith' among the seven gods in a dream. This is quite like a joke. After all, after the Yi people in the East used techniques such as filling steel and frying steel for thousands of years, Andal People are still making iron. If the blacksmith is a god, there is no reason why his craftsmanship is worse than that of humans.
Sure enough, when Ian clicked on the Seven Gods System, the selection box that popped up looked like this:
[The Classics of the Seven Gods and the Art of Incitement: By upgrading this skill, you can gradually acquire the memory of all the classic works, doctrinal explanations, missionary notes of the archbishops/saints of the past, and diary memories of the Seven Gods sect]
The art of cultivating a magic stick? You call this stuff magic? but
This thing sounds inexplicably practical, and Ian is a little dumbfounded.
The system of the next Drowned God cannot be activated, but Ian himself is not very interested in it.
The Drowned God believed by the Ironborn is believed to be a sea creature called a deep diver. This creature did have a very glorious period, but now it is not worth mentioning.
Then there is the King of Light, the most awesome god in the world of ice and fire.
His red-robed priest Melisandre once used shadow magic to kill Renly and cursed three "false kings" to death with the "blood of the king" (Jon Snow was also resurrected in the TV series).
His red-robed monk Thoros of Myr resurrected Beric Dondarrion, the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners, the Lightning Lord, several times through prayer, and finally resurrected Caitlin, the Lady of Stoneheart, who died in the Red Wedding. ·Tully.
