Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

☆【True God and False God】

Within Chaldea.

While everyone was preparing for the next voyage to the underworld, Lucy found her teacher with doubts in her heart, holding the textbook in her hand.

It is helpless to say that it is an observatory, but now there is no celestial magician in Chaldea, only Leonardo da Vinci can teach the knowledge of celestial magic.

Lucy herself also has the consciousness that she is Olga Marie's replacement before she awakens.

Lucy didn't know whether this behavior was an insult to herself, but Lucy herself was simple and kind and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It would be better to say that she was aware of her own abilities. Compared to those who had some or not, Lucy was more Care about how much you can help.

Rather, Lucy's psychological pressure will be less because she knows that she is a lower-ranking substitute.

But some issues are not about talent or not.

After listening to the discussion between Weber and Kenneth, the two ace professors, Lucy felt that she had to ask a clear question, otherwise she would feel as if she had obsessive-compulsive disorder!

This question bothered Lucy very, very much.

"So! Why does Hecate prepare a large group of people who can find her? If she hides completely, we can't do anything to her, right? There is definitely a problem here, right?"

Lucy looked at Da Vinci and the First Emperor, who were looking at each other with suspicion.

"Lu Mingfeijun didn't understand, so he didn't care at all. He trusted you all, so he didn't think too much about it. Although I'm weak, I still have some basic knowledge, but your theory of 'it's normal for a magician to do this', In fact, it’s because it’s very troublesome to explain, and Lu Mingfei himself doesn’t care, so he didn’t say it on purpose, right?”

Lucy's face was filled with confusion.

"But I always feel that something is wrong here, but I can't tell what is wrong. This is so uncomfortable!"

Da Vinci was speechless.

Also a little bit relieved.

"It seems that your learning has not been in vain Lucy, but His Majesty the Emperor and I still have a lot to study, so - Romani!"

"ah?"

Roman, who was typing on the keyboard next to him, was stunned for a moment.

"Romani, although you majored in civil engineering, can you still answer this kind of question?"

"What does it mean to study civil engineering?"

"You have the most free time among us. After all, everyone's physical safety supervision is a bad thing. Everyone is working overload, but they must also work overload, so you have this free time, and it's up to you to give Xiaolu Just open a small stove in the west."

Roman always felt that there was something wrong with Da Vinci's speech, but at the same time, Roman couldn't tell what the problem was.

In other words, just as Roman knew that everyone in Chaldea was actually suffering from physical problems due to overloaded work, but he couldn't let everyone stop working. He could only feel sorry for everyone while trying to find some medicines, but medicines The thing itself is naturally a different kind of overdraft.

After walking around for a long time, Roman, the medical director, felt a little at ease.

Although Lucy thought it was a bit weird that Leonardo da Vinci asked a doctor who studied civil engineering to teach her occult knowledge, she was a typical well-behaved and good student after all, so she didn't complain too much.

Roman muttered "Am I being scolded?" and then came to Lucy.

"Let me think about it. Well, actually your feeling is right. We did hide some things from Lu Mingfei, or some things were not discussed in depth because Lu Mingfei didn't understand and didn't care. But since you If you care, it means that you are different from him. You still want to study in the occult school, so let me tell you, first of all.

Hecate is a god, so let me explain the difference between the 'true god' and the 'false god' in mysticism. After all, this is the key point.

First, let’s talk about ‘true God’

What is true God? The concept of true God should originally come from animism, that is to say, everything in the world can be a true god. The reason why a true god is a true god is because people think she is a god. This early primitive worship gave them divinity. It is also commonly known as 'faith'.

The existence that relies on people's belief to become a 'god' and then obtains the 'power of god' is the 'true god' in the concept of mysticism.

On the other hand, if they are no longer considered gods by people, then these true gods will quickly lose their power and become mortal beings. If they are devalued, they may even directly become demons.

By the way, precisely because they are the products of early primitive worship, most of the 'true gods' and 'demon' have female physical characteristics. This is why most of the ancient gods summoned by the Heroic Spirit Summoning System are female. "

The First Emperor seemed to have thought of something at this time, and added with a smile: "There are also gods who have not degenerated into monsters, but have transformed from women into men, such as Taibai Jinxing and so on."

Listening to an ancient Qin emperor talk about the evolution of culture during the Tang Dynasty was such a wonderful feeling.

Roman coughed twice and brought back the subject of the lecture.

"Then there is the concept of 'false gods'. We all know that true gods gain power from belief and become gods because they are believed in. But false gods are different and can be defined as false gods, even if Even without faith, there are extraordinary life forms with great power.

False gods are gods not because they are worshiped and gain power, but because they have power and are worshiped.

True gods are often indigenous gods, while false gods are often foreign invaders. The war that unfolds in this way is the main theme of the mythical age.

But there is a problem here. Although the false gods themselves have power, they can also get more power from faith.

Therefore, the wars between gods mostly end with the false gods defeating the true gods, and the true gods being adopted as children, or even being degraded to monsters.

However, Hecate is a very complex god, so complex that it is even impossible to explain whether she was born as a true god or a false god. She should be a Persian god, but Persian mythology has been severely chronological and has been eroded by Hellenism and Romanization.

But what we can be sure of is that, whether it is a true god or a false god, as long as Hecate is a god, he can gain power from faith.

Faith is also a very wonderful logical concept. What kind of god a god is depends not only on herself, but also on her position in the world. This position is power. For example, the power of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, is love. , as long as there is love between people, then Aphdirota can gain the power of faith from it, even those who don't even know what Aphdirota's name is.

The same goes for Zeus. Humanity's worship of thunder and lightning is natural. Therefore, in many mythological systems, the God of Thunder occupies a unique position. He is also the core of power that countless gods are competing for in the divine war.

And what about Hecate?

Hecate is the goddess of the underworld, but she has no powers related to the underworld.

Hecate is the moon goddess, but at the same time the moon is not under the jurisdiction of Hecate

All Hecate's material-related powers are in a state of uncertainty, so Hecate also needs a core concept that can stabilize her existence.

This concept is ‘opportunity’.

As long as there is 'opportunity' in this world, Hecate can gain strength from it.

Just as the God of Thunder can gain power in thunderstorms, and the Goddess of Night can only show her strength at night, an existence like Hecate must put itself where it should exist in order to stabilize its existence and fully Play to your strengths.

Where does Hecate exist? Existing on the 'road to the underworld', if we want to stabilize the concept of the 'road to the underworld', there must be 'people going to the underworld'.

By the same token, if the people looking for Hecate don't have the opportunity to find Hecate during this process, Hecate's power will be greatly weakened.

In turn, the more people looking for Hecate, the stronger the people looking for Hecate, and the actions of these people will provide endless power to Hecate.

Because of this, Hecate's behavior is reasonable even without mentioning the 'reservation of a magician' mentioned by Director Kenneth.

Rather, she has personally screened out a large number of people who have a probability of finding her. This behavior itself is increasing the 'opportunities' and strengthening herself. "

When the lecturer said this, Roman looked at the empty coffee cup in his hand and shook his head.

"In France, although the rituals arranged by the Holy King were equally grand, the Holy King himself wanted to become Adam, the father of mankind, so he actually lacked the ability to control the ritual itself. Charlemagne and Ophelia grasped it at the beginning We will pursue this loophole and pursue it fiercely.”

"If I have to say it, Hecate should be stronger than the Holy King, but Hecate cannot defeat the Demon King with a very high probability like the Holy King. If the Holy King is a rebel, maybe Hecate is an escapeist. After all, this The singularity world itself is considered complete. If it continues to be implemented, it will escape the control of the Demon God King sooner or later. Even if the human body is completely and irreversibly burned, it will not affect the people living in it."

Roman shook his head.

"Escapeism. In fact, this idea of ​​​​escape is also natural. Maybe Hecate himself doesn't think he is our enemy? It's just like the Holy King at the time, but this idea is unacceptable to most people. "

"Why can't you accept it?" Lucy asked.

"It's very simple. We are social animals in human history. We each have our own family and our own dreams. But in the hypocritical box (cage) constructed by Hecate, the souls guided by the lantern cannot move on. of"

Roman lowered his head and poured himself another cup of coffee.

"Even if you are reincarnated, as long as the memory is still there, the past will always catch up with you unknowingly, entangle you, and force you to look back. That's probably it. In short, we are looking for Hecate to attack her. This is Our purpose is to give people the opportunity to find and attack themselves, which is also Hecate’s own purpose, because Hecate is like this and can profit from this situation.”

Roman raised his head and thought for a moment before coming to a conclusion:

"[True God]."

"However, to everyone's expectation, although the wars between gods mostly end with the [false gods] winning the support of humans, the [true gods] basically love humans from the bottom of their hearts. This may also be the case. Human beings have a kind of empathy for gods, and people long for gods to love the world.”

"Why did [False God] defeat [True God]?" Lucy also poured herself a cup of coffee.

"It's very simple, because true love is long-lasting, it is invisible but ubiquitous blessing, but the immediate benefits are indeed something that can be touched, and people will always be deceived by what is in front of them. , the reason why those ancient monsters all have two feelings of hatred and love for humans at the same time, and love humans so complicatedly, is because they were once [true gods].

After all, the so-called [True God] is not God, but human beings' longing for beautiful things.

And beautiful things are naturally beautiful. "

".if"

Lucy held the hot coffee, feeling the warmth gradually seeping into her hands, and thought about the negotiations between the Holy King and the people of Chaldea when he was the Holy King.

"If Hecate really loves us and just chooses this way of love, wouldn't there be no need to fight?"

"Who knows?" Roman shrugged. "Lu Mingfei complained before that this was like Hecate's blind date conference. This may be true. After all, Hecate is a pure [True God]. Her power There is no malice towards human beings. Although it is not the main content, she is also the patron saint who protects the birth of babies. She is the guide god who provides education for immature people. She is also the patron saint who protects fishing and hunting harvests and smooth sailing. Heika The emphasis in Divinity's divinity is 'maternal', but..."

Roman paused.

"In the system of Greek mythology, she is actually a goddess without any clear or vague marriage relationship, and there is no such thing as a virgin goddess prohibiting sexual intercourse. Maybe this underworld started under her guidance. seafaring adventures, in addition to enhancing her own strength."

Roman winked at Lucy and joked:

"Perhaps Hecate really wants to choose a warrior who can carry out his own beliefs to propose marriage, as Lu Mingfei said."

【seriously? 】

【1.True】

[2. No, it’s just that our old loli mother wants to protect everyone from the Demon King]

[3. Although you don’t have this plan, you actually have some ideas? 】

【1D3=2】

[It seems like it’s really the mother’s behavior ()]

【.How come the group is full of treacherous villains】

☆【Set sail】

After searching for Odysseus to no avail, Lu Mingfei and others welcomed the woman who came to interview the captain at the stronghold of the Shilan Middle School Alumni Association.

"I was originally preparing to sail around the world, and I finally managed to get sponsorship from the Queen. But I was accidentally dragged into the sea where the stars were completely wrong, and then I ended up living in this inexplicable ancient country. This is actually Athens? What the hell are they doing? What are you talking about? Because all the supplies and other things have been lost, I want to find a stable job first and then talk about other things."

"Um?"

"Name? I have already introduced myself, do you want me to say it again?"

Sitting on the soft sofa, with an empty beer glass on the somewhat messy table in front of her, the woman lit a cigar for herself.

"Francis Drake, 33, adventurer."

Not a heroic spirit.

But a living person!

The woman who came to take the position of captain was active in 1573! Francis Drake himself on a voyage around the world!
