Lord of the Mysteries fanfic: wake up, hermit

"No need."

After a brief look at each other, Solomon spoke first: "A groveling gesture is often paired with extremely flattering words. I have seen too much and heard too much of these two things, and tonight, I hope to hear something more...

Honest insights.”

Seeing that Thoth smiled and said nothing, he said again: "I swear by my surname, as long as your words are reasonable and well-founded, I will not be angry."

"If everyone could be as calm as you, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the world." Thoth put down his knife and fork and slowly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "In that case, let us continue to discuss peace."

"Decline', 'decadent' related topics."

"It's just that I hope to be in a slightly more secluded place. There are so many people here and it's really not suitable for discussing too grand topics."

He silently added in his heart, He won't get angry? I don't believe the nonsense your lawyers say. I'm not afraid of you getting angry, but it would be bad to scare my believers.

"Then where do you want to go?"

“A place appropriate to the topic.”

For mythical creatures, it is easy to go from one continent to another. The merchant ships carrying spices and the fishing boats for hunting whales are left behind them, and the surging waves of the Sunian Sea are left behind them. At the end of the blue

, is a brilliant golden color - that is the blood of the ancient sun god.

This is the place where the ancient sun god fell.

Various residual extraordinary powers are still causing trouble today. A golden carriage pulled a long flame tail across the sky, and a huge arm wrapped in vines and mud made the earth tremble. After the thunder roared, all around

It suddenly became extremely dark - yes, "all of a sudden", there was not even a twilight transition between day and night.

The hidden power comes quietly, trying to devour all waking creatures-unless they fall into sleep.

But the next moment, golden light penetrated the darkness, and the strange and ancient scenery came into view again.

"just……"

Due to the darkness, Thoth could not see clearly what Solomon had done.

"It's just a small bribe, just move on."

After passing countless ruins, they arrived at the Land Abandoned by the Gods. Looking around, they saw that there was no grass and everything was devastated, like a large piece of coke. Even the cold northern border seemed more vibrant than here. A few words

Lightning streaked across the sky sparsely - this symbolized that it was daytime in the land abandoned by the gods, and when night came, the hidden power would be all-pervasive. Although it would not devour their personal existence, Thoth always felt uncomfortable.

Comfortable - Although He has no objection to Amanysis herself, they are secretly peeking into each other's secrets, which makes them seem to be incompatible with each other.

"Delphi."

Solomon sighed, "It turned out to be like this."

It is the largest temple of the all-knowing and all-powerful Creator. Before merchants set foot in new industries, before pioneers establish sub-states, before families marry, before newborns are named, before old people are buried... Whenever possible, envoys will be sent.

Delphi consulted the oracle and asked whether something should be done and how best to do it. The knowledgeable priests would always give appropriate answers.

In addition, there are also pilgrims and ascetics who come to observe and learn. Some of them bring the copied religious classics back to their hometowns in order to provide accurate and excellent guidance to the people. Some of them stay here to learn from their disciples.

Identity carries the mantle of priest.

The brilliance of the Creator and the flow of people have turned this place into a veritable "center of the world".

In its heyday, it was as beautiful as being lifted out of the sun.

Even though it collapsed, it was still majestic, and the Black Emperor recognized it almost at a glance. Just like attracting pilgrims, it secretly led the Black Emperor and the Hidden Sage to it.

Thoth looked at a shattered Ionic stone pillar and suggested, "Would you like to go in and have a look?"

Solomon nodded, and then activated "Chaos". The stones blocking the door shattered like biscuits, and flew away in the wind like flour, revealing a hand that had turned into white bones and stretched out -

The owner of this hand probably didn't know exactly what was going on. He just turned around instinctively, fled, and then stretched out his hand to no avail before the gravel fell down, as if he could catch the passing glory.

"It's just a moment," Solomon said softly.

Thoth asked: "Are you talking about the loss of a life, the collapse of a building, or the collapse of a kingdom?"

Solomon looked up at him and did not answer immediately.

"A flowstone is enough to kill an ordinary person, and an extraordinary skill is enough to destroy a house." Thoth said seriously, "But a country is the sum of its territory and territorial sea, its rulers and subjects, cities and towns, and it is the sum of its progress.

Harmonized with conservatism, tolerance and iron fist, reward and torture, it is an incredibly complex behemoth.”

"The same is true for the Creator's kingdom of God on earth." Thoth said softly, "Its collapse seemed to happen in an instant, but in fact it took a long time to accumulate."

"Have you ever seen an avalanche? Although it can swallow up a town in an instant, the snowflakes have to accumulate on the ridge before roaring and charging."

Solomon said: "It must be a well-planned and well-planned conspiracy to bring about the fall of the omniscient and omnipotent Creator."

"Your Majesty, ambitions never end, and conspiracies are everywhere." Thoth chuckled, "And those who stand in the most dazzling position will always become the target of conspiracies."

"I know where those hyena-like eyes come from." Solomon showed a somewhat arrogant look in his eyes, "They will play tricks, don't I know how to exploit the contradictions between them? Although you live a long life, but

You are looking down on me too much."

"Of course you know these basic methods, but internal and external troubles are twins, but the latter is eye-catching and the former is always ignored."

Before Solomon spoke again, Thoth added: "Don't get me wrong, I am not accusing any of my colleagues."

"In that case, what worries you?"

"Slouch."

What He really wanted to say was "indifference."

Thoth did not intend to give Solomon a Marxist philosophy class directly. After all, "from the people, to the people" and "the people are the cornerstone of the country" belong to socialist ideas. It is still a purely feudal society, and even a personal

There are no signs of capitalism at all. If you are too advanced, you will not be able to achieve results.

Compared with ordinary people who live and die, the nobles who often come to the imperial court will make the Black Emperor feel more real, while the six gods who are watching in remote places will make the Black Emperor feel more dangerous.

"Slack?"

Solomon repeated the word somewhat playfully.

"You give power to the nobles and let them manage the territory on your behalf. In the eyes of the common people who can never see you in their lifetime, they are the extension of your face and brothers. In order to make your justice, majesty, kindness and tolerance deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, make them

Your anchor is unwavering, and they should regulate their words and deeds and understand their responsibilities."

"Although civilians do not understand profound knowledge or complicated understandings, they are by no means ignorant and ignorant. If they are treated unfairly and their basic demands are ignored, they will also feel resentful - this will give them a sense of resentment.

This creates an opportunity for the pagans to take advantage of.”

"They are extensions of the limbs of the supernatural gods, and they are the mouthpieces of the supernatural gods to confuse people and stir up trouble." Thoth paused and continued: "Although many colleagues think that they are incompetent and vulnerable, I once heard a saying,

'The reason why the dam was broken down was because the ants made holes in it'."

"In my opinion, cleaning up a broken heart is no easier than rebuilding a dam."

"So, instead of expending great efforts to find their traces in the crowd, it is better to completely clean up the atmosphere of officials, realize the demands of the civilians, and let them understand that it is a great honor to be born in my country, and how stupid it is to believe in evil gods.

.”

Solomon stroked his hands and smiled, "Perhaps you and Lord Trunsoest will have something to talk about."

The serious Terensu. Thoth thought about it for a while and felt that this was probably, maybe, maybe a kind of affirmation.
