Sword of Daybreaker

The process of how to deliver the "mortal weapons" to the Divine Kingdom of Plenty was quickly finalized. As for Gawain's arrangement, Amoen said he had no opinion at all—in fact, the former **** of nature had always been at ease, as long as he did not If it bothers him to grow vegetables, he usually doesn't take care of what the Theocratic Council does in the yard. What's more, he was originally deserted here. Now that such interesting things are happening, he is even happy to have fun...

"Just be careful not to touch my garden and vegetable patch, and don't take up the fenced area under the tree," Ammon stood up from under the golden oak tree and pointed his head to a piece of land not far away. Open ground, "This is Miermina's territory. I told her to keep this place for her."

"It's natural," Gawain nodded. "The main handover area will be set outside the courtyard. Except that the entrance and exit of the fortress cannot be bypassed, this matter will not affect your daily life here."

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and looked back at Amber and the three sisters of abundance next to him: "Now let's think about what omissions in this matter or what needs to be discussed - this matter is of a very special nature and is being discussed with the Theocratic Councillor. The other members of the council need to make the plan as complete as possible before it goes public."

As soon as Gawain's voice fell, Gaia, the eldest sister of the three goddesses, really thought of something: "How should we inform the other gods of this plan?"

This question was indeed something that Gawain hadn't had time to seriously consider just now, but after a moment's thought, he realized that it was indeed a bit troublesome: "Notifying other gods... The key is whether this will disturb their 'divine half-body'. By the way, we sent information to the Kingdom of God by setting up 'windows' in various cathedrals before, and you can indeed receive this information, right?"

"Yes, we decided to contact you directly after receiving the 'message' from the believers, but not all gods have taken this step in advance like our sisters, I think most of them should be more Be cautious," Eve, the goddess of harvest, said as she pondered, "and there is a very crucial point, which you mentioned just now - to avoid stimulating the 'divine half-body'. Even if we can convey information from the earth to the kingdom of God, we will not The way to directly reveal this plan to the other gods, because the information passed from the 'window' such as the church will be known by the gods at the same time as the humanity and the divinity."

Eve's voice fell, and Gaia immediately added: "Ice-cold and static bombs will not be regarded as threats, but the 'plan' with a clear purpose itself is an undisguised hostility, and the divine half-body will definitely produce this information. Therefore, information must not be passed upward through windows such as churches. Similarly, this plan must be kept secret, even within the Theocratic Council, and it cannot be leaked at all outside the Council. .

"Although the gods do not constantly scan the minds of every ordinary believer, the perception of the gods has always been sharp in response to this kind of directional hostility, so as long as an ordinary believer knows about this plan, then the Every minute and every second, this believer may be alert to the god's divine half-body due to a flash of thought, or even lose control ahead of time."

Gaia's warning was extremely solemn, and this made Gawain's expression instantly serious. While being cautious in his heart, he was even more grateful that he had made a series of correct choices when he first established the Theocratic Council—from the very beginning of the establishment of the Theocratic Council. , he formulated a strict "cognitive authority" system for him, considering that gods have the characteristic of "what mortals know is known to gods", many of the council's plans are divided into "multi-layer structures", the more The closer the clergy and the common people are, the more concealed the real purpose of the council is, so that the executives at the end of the council often do not know the purpose behind an action at all, and the real intention of a big plan is often only Council managers and senior advisors are entitled to know;

While formulating strict "cognitive authority", he also set a "step-by-step" code of conduct for the council from the beginning. Whether it is promoting theocratic secularization or carrying out new forms of doctrinal deconstruction, he ensures that these Actions do not directly conflict with the teachings of the corresponding gods, and try to dismantle the old belief system little by little by changing customs and replacing teachings.

At that time, he was not completely sure what the operating mechanism of the gods was, nor did he know the clear distinction and precise definition between the "divine" and "human nature" of the gods, and he was even more uncertain about what kind of "divine half-body" the gods had. Counterattack logic", he just tried his best to ensure the safety of the unbinding process of theocracy, and now it seems... this caution is extremely correct.

From the beginning to the end, he did not let the Theocratic Council reveal any hostility to the "divine half-body" of the gods, even if the human part of the gods already knew what this mortal organization was doing, the council has been running smoothly to this day. .

Gawain shook his head gently, he gathered his thoughts, and began to consider the problem in front of him: "So we have two options, the first option is to pass the message through some kind of concealed method to ensure that it is transmitted from the earth to the kingdom of God. The news is that the 'human part' of the gods can understand, but will not stimulate the 'divine part', considering that the human part can think flexibly, and the divine part will only make logical judgments based on doctrines, this plan is feasible sex."

"It is indeed feasible, but there are unavoidable risks, because even we ourselves cannot determine the alert state of the 'divine half body' - after being 'cut' by Lady Night, the relationship between us and our own divine half body The flow of information was cut off, which gave us the ability to move freely, and also made us lose the ability to control and perceive the other half of the body," Gaia shook his head, "perhaps we sent the 'letter' to the kingdom of God from scratch. There is not a single word of hostility at the end, but the maliciousness in the heart of the person who wrote the letter will be passed on by the text, or it is another case..."

She paused when she said this, and seemed to organize the language carefully before continuing: "We have to consider that the understanding abilities of the gods are also different..."

Gawain felt a little weird when he heard this, and then looked at the earth goddess in front of him seriously: "Why don't you just say 'there are differences in intelligence'?"

"That's fine," Gaia froze for a moment, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, "Everyone in the world says that the gods are omnipotent and omnipotent, but we all know how ridiculous this sentence is. The cognition and thinking of the gods are subject to their authority and teachings. influence, and the 'human nature' part of the gods is like mortals with their own characteristics and... flaws, I think there must be some gods who are not good at thinking, maybe after we send the letter to some gods. Driven by instinct, it started to get out of control, and his human part didn't understand what was written in the letter..."

Gawain's expression was a little dull, while Amber next to him was stunned: "Why are there so many fools in your gods?"

Gaia looked embarrassed: "We haven't actually dealt with other gods, but we believe that there must be... such 'stupid' among the gods."

"Okay, then the second plan," Gawain waved his hand decisively, "Find a way to establish a separate connection with the 'human half body' of the gods and bypass their divine half body."

"You put it simply, how do you operate this?" Amber stared at Gawain, "The human half body and the divine half body of other gods are all in one, and you can't get around it if you send something in the past."

Gao Wen raised his head and looked around thoughtfully, then raised his fingers and rubbed his chin: "If only like the three goddesses of abundance, it would be great to call the human half of the other gods here, we can discuss in person, anyway, the gods The human part does not have the hidden danger of mutual exclusion and pollution like the divine part, and it is possible to meet together.”

"You can try to send an invitation directly," Flora tapped lightly on the ground with her forefoot, "but it's hard to say how many gods will respond to this somewhat sudden, even suspicious invitation. After all, we can't reveal anything about the real plan. But if you don't say anything... who would rashly leave the kingdom of God and come to this world's border to make an appointment?"

"Make up an irrefutable argument to deceive them?" Amber blinked, "Anyway, it's too late to explain after we meet, as long as we can deceive them here first."

"It's easy for you to say," Gawain shook his head, "what kind of reason do you think, and what kind of appeal, can make the gods leave the kingdom of God and run away collectively because of a small note from the world. Gathering here? Especially now that their human parts have just been freed, and the world is extremely tense, most of the gods should be in a state of extreme caution, and avoiding extravagance should be their common mentality at the moment.”

As soon as Amber heard this, she subconsciously looked at the three goddesses of abundance: "Then why are they so reckless?"

The three goddesses were stunned for a moment, and then said in unison, "We are measured!"

"Yes, yes, they are also measured," Amoen, who had not spoken much just now, also helped at this time, "I am quite safe in this courtyard..."

Gawain subconsciously glanced at Amoen and the three goddesses. He always felt that when they mentioned the word "proportion", they inexplicably released a special and the same aura. How to say It's just like the aura when Byron talked about "justice", it's a feeling of "although you don't believe it, but I'm confident."

But it was this interruption, Gaia suddenly turned his attention to Amber, and after a moment of staring, the goddess showed a thoughtful expression: "Perhaps...Miss Amber's suggestion is not unreasonable, We can 'deceive' the 'human half-body' of other gods here, and we can give them a reason that they can't refuse, at least a reason that seems impossible to refuse."

Gawain and Amber said in unison, "Huh?"

"This requires a little help from Miss Amber," Gaia said with a serious face, "I think the success rate is very high."

…

Two hours later, in the blue velvet study of Cecil Palace, Amber was sitting next to Gawain's desk, biting the pen in her mouth, admiring the fruits of her labor just now, with a faint smug look on her face.

But this smug look only lasted for less than a moment, then she turned to look at Gao Wen who was sitting next to her with her eyes closed, she put the pen on the table and muttered unconfidently: "Do you think this is really feasible? ...even though Gaia keeps saying it has a high success rate."

"At least in this respect, her judgment should not be wrong," Gawain opened his eyes and glanced here, "The perception of the gods is extremely keen, especially at this time, Lady Ye's aura is very important to them. It's almost something that can trigger ptsd. Don't forget how the three goddesses reacted when you first walked into Amoen's courtyard - you just showed up at the time, and none of the three fake artifacts were summoned.

"And under the influence of this special mentality, as long as it is the news delivered by Ms. Ye, no matter how suspicious the news is, even if it is sent by the believers in the world, the human nature of the gods will definitely be half-body. Take it seriously, even if it's just to come over to confirm the truth, they will definitely show up. After all...other than us, who would know or think of a copycat version of 'Ms. Ye' like you?"

"Then... well, it makes sense," Amber thought for a while, and pursed her lips, "Then come over and see if what I wrote will work."

Gawain just got up from the chair and walked to the desk in a few steps. He saw that there were more than a dozen sheets of letter paper neatly spread out on the table at the moment, and each letter had the exact same thing written on it—

"There is still one course of treatment. Come to the secluded place of the natural master at the border of the shadow world in 24 hours. Please actively cooperate with the treatment-Ms. Ye stay."

"Would it be a bit too unkind to write like this... 'majestic'?" Amber scratched the back of his head, and while observing Gawain's reaction, he said with a guilty conscience, "Although I wrote it according to your intention, if it is For Lady Ye, shouldn't this message be more dignified and solemn?"

Gawain rubbed his chin, then shook his head after a moment: "No need to change, I think it's good. According to the three Gaia sisters, this is how Ms. Ye communicated with them—and to be honest, I also I don't think the gods really took seriously when they received this letter to discern the truthfulness of your words and sentences, the letter really worked for something else."

"I know, I know," Amber snapped his fingers casually as he spoke, and immediately a smoky gray-white fine sand appeared in response, fluttering around her like a circle of streamers, and then she moved from the next to her. A stack of envelopes was pulled out from the shelf, and he began to stuff the envelopes with sand one by one. "They will never doubt when they see the shadow sand in the envelopes, right? You and Gaia said so..."

Gawain nodded, and then saw Amber begin to fold the letters one by one and stuff them into the envelopes that had been filled with half a bag of sand, and then smeared glue to seal the envelopes. Watching this scene, he thought of these letters again. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. After holding it for a long time, he still couldn't hold back his words: "Why does this look like a violent gang sending out a threatening letter..."

"Ah? Isn't it?" Amber raised his head and glanced at Gawain, "I thought you positioned this thing as a threatening letter from the very beginning—I also want to say how you are so proficient in this matter. ."

"Forget it, this topic can't be studied in depth," Gawain slapped his forehead, and then saw Amber reaching for the flame lacquer seal next to him, and immediately interrupted, "Hey, wait! Don't print that!"

"Ah? Why?" Amber held up the lacquer seal with a stunned expression, "Don't you usually print this when you send letters? It looks solemn..."

"Bullshit, you leave a note to the gods as Lady Ye. It doesn't matter if the way of transmitting the letter is the church on earth. The envelope is still covered with the stamp of the royal family of Cecil! Is this reasonable?" Gawain twitched the corners of his mouth. , "Although I just said that Ms. Ye's ptsd can overshadow everything, don't you think it's a little suspicious?"

Amber thought for a while, and regretfully put down the lacquer seal: "Okay, you're right."

Gawain shook his head and sighed. Seeing that Amber had everything ready, he connected with Veronica.

"Call the bishops, saintesses, saints, and archbishops in the city," he said to Veronica, who was bewildered across the communicator, "let them prepare for the sacrifice ceremony at the 'window', and say that Lady Ye asked I have a word for their gods..."
