Jon is certainly able to take care of his own life.

During the time when Secretary Jin delivered the box, Jon even made himself a cup of coffee, and then sat on the sofa to read some reference books left by Joanne.

The study of ancient mythical civilizations about the Muggle world is for me.

Joanne read this and said it was to improve the world view in her novels. After all, her novels are more realistic and biographical now, but after all, there are many fictional things. The magical world itself is in a state of civilization. She wants to To improve the world view of this book, it is impossible to write exactly the same as the current magical world, so it is very necessary to learn from the creative description of the "fictional" world of the predecessors.

On this point, the opinions of Jon and Joanne are basically the same.

His research direction is mainly the evolution of world civilizations. As the most important content in this part, the Age of Mythology occupies a very large position in his research.

Because the magic civilization of the West was broken in the Dark Ages, and before the Dark Ages, it was the home of the Age of Mythology, so these myths are also very useful for him.

After all, both the Muggle world and the wizarding world are made up of human beings, and their records of some things were not very different in those ancient times.

What does mythology mean to people in their time?

Leaving aside the magic world to talk about, it is just a way for ordinary people in ancient times to observe the world around them, and mythology is the result of their observation of the events that formed the world.

For ordinary people, mythology is not only a collection of stories describing the age of the gods and heroes, but also provides ordinary people with some ways to understand the world.

Because in that era, people would not understand why a huge sun would rise in the sky tomorrow morning, circle around the sky, and finally sink into the west.

They don't know what it is or how it moves, and since they don't know it's due to gravity or the rotation of other galaxies, the appearance of the myth seems very logical.

This is just a conclusion, and it happens that while this factual phenomenon exists, there are indeed gods who actually appear in this world. They have some influence on the world through the power and rules they control, for example, they can form in a certain place. The miraculous effect of covering the sky and the sun, but they cannot directly affect the operation of the entire world.

Because for gods, the world is also the basis of their existence, not all gods can live in chaos and chaos.

Therefore, the gods themselves are also promoting the formation of the myth system among ordinary people. These conclusions are a very good thing for ordinary people who cannot come into contact with the mysterious world. They can attribute the occurrence of this situation to the existence of myths and gods, and their explanations will allow them to further form their unique understanding and perception of the world, and then let this experience go A relatively mature system has been formed. In the process of shaping, the gods also participated in it, forming an indispensable part of the content.

Because in a world where not all life is in a state of myth and technology is underdeveloped, the existence of myth can become a mechanism to protect life against the indifference of reality,

Driven by the gods hidden behind the scenes, mythology can become a cultural pillar in ordinary people's society. It supports the life of this society, faces ignorance and the unknown, and makes people's lives more meaningful.

This is the so-called spiritual pillar. As the gods of a world, they have the obligation to guide ordinary people—even ordinary people who do not know magic—to live in this world, because for gods, no matter whether it is a wizard with magic Or ordinary people without magic, they are all about the same.

But this is not the case for ordinary people. In the age of ignorance, wizards with magic can gain a deeper understanding of the world by delving into magic. It is difficult for ordinary people to see the world without the help of timely science. The true appearance of the world, and the unknown will bring many problems, such as chaos and fear. The role of mythology in it is to stabilize the chaos. While giving ordinary people faith in their hearts, it brings order, controllability and a certain degree of stability. Knowledge, in the Age of Gods and the early Dark Ages, is the result of research by wizards living on the side of the mysterious world, teaching ordinary people how to live in this world.

Unlike the deeds of gods created artificially after the Dark Ages, these mythological systems naturally derived in the Age of Mythology can be perfectly embedded in the lives of every ordinary person.

Unlike some religions that proclaim that the Lord is omnipotent and supreme, among these ancient myths, myths linger outside people's lives every day.

He is constantly repeating the process of creation, destruction, re-creation, and destruction every day. In this cycle, myths are no longer exclusive to gods, but are involved in the self-life of ordinary people.

This led to the fact that ordinary people living in that era, even wizards, could occasionally become the protagonists in a mythical story. When mystery led the society, wizards with mysterious powers were often the authority to explain some unusual things. .

And these wizards are often subordinates or believers of the gods. Under the instruction of the upper will, they interpret these unusual events as insignificant natural phenomena just like ordinary events in secular life, and attribute them to In order to make the influence and change of the gods on the world easier, so as to bring the gods closer to the world of ordinary people.

At this stage, the gods are not superior, they occasionally appear in the world, acting as guides to play their role, and combined with some of the classics that Jon has read, behind all this is the will of the world, that is, [Deep Blue Sea] ] is driving everything to happen.

The world is developing in a spiral, and as the will of the entire world, He only hopes that the world will develop in a good direction, and has no other ideas.

Jon found a research material on ancient Egyptian mythology from Joanne's collection of books. This kind of material belongs to the description and reshaping of latecomers, and it can only serve as some auxiliary functions. He was about to open it, and the doorbell Suddenly it rang.
