Chapter 458 – The Favors of Wisdom (?)

Chapter 458 The Favors of Wisdom (?)
The awkwardly silent and subtle atmosphere in the captain’s room lasted for a long time.

In the end, it was Duncan who first spoke up to break the silence, he removed his gaze from Dog and looked very seriously at old Mr. Morris next to him, “Logically, do you think this makes sense?”

Morris blinked sluggishly, his face confused and tangled like being dragged up at 2:30 at night to change his thesis, he felt that the test he faced when he was promoted to saint was much simpler than this moment’s dilemma, and he held back a half a day before he came up with a sentence, “I haven’t heard of this kind of thing since there has been a history of …… …… This is beyond my cognitive scope.”

“Definitely beyond – the only Spectral Demon that has ever recognized words for fear is Dog,” Duncan pinched his brow in a complicated mood, “Does it say within your teachings that the God of Wisdom bestows blessings on Spectral Demons? ”

“How could there be this one?” Maurice’s expression suddenly went to hell, “Profound Demons are the great enemy of civilized society, not to mention the God of Wisdom, the doctrines of the other three gods couldn’t possibly have such an article ……”

As soon as the words fell from his side, Vanna, who had been frozen for half a day next to him, suddenly remembered something and followed up with a ghostly, “But the teachings of the God of Wisdom also say that Rahm equally favors every living being with a spiritual mind, both raining down on them the wisdom to understand the world, and also using the curtain of demented stupidity to protect them from those crazy and horrifying realities… …There is nothing in this that explicitly excludes the Phantom Demons from being ‘intelligent beings’.”

“What kind of a Psi Demon carries a spirit?” Maurice subconsciously shouted, but in the next instant turned his head with a strange expression and looked at Dog, who was lying honestly on the floor.

“With Dog’s academic progress, it’s almost time to arrange for him to take the midterm exam this time next year,” Duncan said quietly, “Maybe he’ll even get to be at the same table as Nina someday.”

“…… I’m a bit messed up, I need to calm down,” Morris finally shook his body a bit, rubbing his forehead and slowly coming to the chair next to him, holding onto the armrests and slowly sitting down before raising his head, looking at the dog in the center of the room with a complicated look. “What did you …… feel besides those sights floating in your mind? Did you hear Him speak to you? Or a whole new understanding of certain knowledge surfacing out of thin air?”

“No,” Dog huffed and shook his head, “I just saw those rays of light twice in a row and was startled both times, other than that I didn’t hear or feel anything ……”

“Just seeing ‘Him’? No revelations?” Morris seemed to have calmed down and began to think seriously, “And did you feel any increase in your ability to calculate or memorize? After gazing at those ‘rays’ for a long time, did you feel that your vision was different from before when you returned to the real world?”

Dog continued to shake his head, “No, none of that–and I didn’t gaze at those ‘rays’ for a long time, ah, I just glanced at them, and then I was pulled back to the real world. ”

“Glanced at it? And then got pulled back to the real world?” Morris froze, obviously this is again inconsistent with his cognition, “This is not right ah …… The gaze of the God of Wisdom is accompanied by a prolonged exchange of thoughts, even if mortals are unable to comprehend this exchange, the entire process is certainly not ‘a glance ‘ so brief …… How were you pulled back?”

“It felt as if I was pulled back by Sherry,” Dog thought for a moment and raised his head to rub against Sherry’s arm, “I was just getting the feeling that I was going to be ‘taken away’ by those rays of light when I felt a great deal of power coming from the symbiotic chains and then came to my senses – but Shirley herself doesn’t seem to remember.”

Several eyes in the room suddenly all fell on Sherry again.

For her part, the girl who had become the focus of everyone’s attention subconsciously shrunk her neck, but immediately afterward, she smiled triumphantly, as if she were a child who was showing off after doing something remarkable.

Only Duncan’s expression grew weirder and weirder after a few changes.

Vanna on the side, on the other hand, was still puzzled, “I haven’t heard that the symbiotic relationship between a Profound Demon and a human has this kind of power to block the gaze of the gods ah …… Could it be that the symbiotic relationship between Shirley and Dog is even closer than that of an ordinary Annihilationist?”

“Ahem, it’s possible that it wasn’t the power of the symbiotic pact that pulled Dog back,” Duncan coughed dryly and raised his hand to point at Shirley, who was still giggling, “or it could have been the power of illiteracy.”

Vanna: “……?”

Sherry: “……?”

Several people were dumbfounded, and Shirley’s expression became fleshly and wonderful, while Maurice looked at Duncan with dismayed eyes – he had always known that the Captain’s thoughts were broader than the average person’s, but so broad that he hadn’t really thought about it in this direction!
After a short period of dismay, however, Maurice couldn’t help but think along these lines, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized how …… it kinda made sense?
“Perhaps at that moment, a ‘battle’ for the transcendent realm took place in Dog, with the God of Wisdom watching on one side, and its illiterate partner on the other, and as it ultimately turned out ……” Duncan rubbed the corner of his forehead, a sigh in his tone, “Desperate illiteracy prevailed over a god who wanted enrollment.”

“Logically …… logically ……” Maurice opened his mouth and chanted a few times but after that he could only spread his hands, “Never mind, I don’t know how to How to count this logic, this matter I write a paper is afraid enough Moco scholars in the center of the city-state to fight until the blood flow, let’s assume that things are really so.”

A kind of difficult to say and difficult to bandage atmosphere haunts the captain’s room, Shirley stood in the center of the room but seemed to be on the verge of tears, she looked at Duncan and then Maurice, and finally cried and pointed at Dog, “So …… so am I dragging Dog’s feet, it’s all . . it’s clearly all ……”

At this moment, and probably the only moment in this life, Shirley’s head actually really surfaced the idea that she should study hard, however, the next second, Duncan’s voice interrupted her, “Don’t jump to conclusions first, maybe …… this thing is not as simple as we think? ”

Shirley gathered her frustration at once, “Huh?”

Duncan didn’t answer her doubts at first, but instead looked to Dog, “Dog, you just said that you got the feeling that you were going to be ‘taken away’ when you were gazing at those rays of light?” Dog immediately nodded.

Duncan turned to Maurice again, “Would someone blessed by the God of Wisdom have this feeling of being ‘taken away’?”

“No,” Maurice also seemed to vaguely react at this point, shaking his head while his tone grew serious, “The normal process of bestowing a blessing is a friendly exchange of minds and enlightenment, the recipient’s mind is clear and pleasant, and will never feel this tendency to lose control. ”

“What happens if a Spectral Demon is actually ‘infused’ with wisdom by Rahm, the God of Wisdom, or suffers some sort of …… divine favor?” Duncan asked immediately afterward.

“…… I don’t know, this kind of thing has never happened before, but judging from logic, it could be a very dangerous process,” Morris’ mind flew, immediately understanding Duncan’s meaning, “The Four Positive Gods and the crazy out-of-control There is a natural conflict between the ‘Ancient Gods’, and this conflict is not limited to ‘struggle’ in the literal sense, but rather an essential ‘mutual repulsion’ between the two creatures or dependents –The Profound Demon, as a ‘derivative’ of the Profound Holy Lord, naturally possesses the characteristic of Chaotic Corruption, which is not an exception even for Dog, and for the God of Wisdom …… “

Maurice paused and looked at Sherry with a serious expression, “Even if my lord has no malicious intent, its light will naturally corrupt Dog’s mind, and the result will be …… “

Maurice did not say further, the other people in the room is a time into their own thoughts, and originally was resting on the chart table closed eyes resting Ai but suddenly jumped up, as if what crazy as vigorously beat his wings while letting out a sharp strange shout:”Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.”

After so vigorously yelling, it jumped up, and then dropped on the table like a stone with a “bang”, and then fluttered to stand up, and then skipped two steps like nothing, came to the goat head next to the head tilted his head: “Charge Q coins do not? ”

Everyone was startled by this pigeon spirit’s strange and jerky behavior, and no one could understand what it was yelling, however, Duncan’s expression changed slightly.

In the next second, a sentence somehow surfaced in his mind-

Two incompatible operating systems with data interoperability can trigger a fatal error.

With a momentary daze and a mind full of jumbled associations, he slowly turned his head and looked at Dog.

“Is there a possible data conflict between the Profound Holy Lord and LH-02 ……”

“Huh?” Dog didn’t react for a moment, “What did you say, Captain?”

“No, nothing,” Duncan, knowing that it would be difficult to explain to an onlooker just how much he had just conjured up in a split second, could only wave his hand, and then looked back to Shirley, who was still looking at him with a blank look on her face, and reorganized his vocabulary over and over inside his head in several rounds, before he finally came up with, “Shirley. It might be beneficial – I mean, just ‘might’ – for you to ‘pull’ Dog back, which prevents Dog from being ‘tainted’ or ‘contaminated’ by the will of Rahm, the God of Wisdom. ‘contaminating’ or ‘devouring’ it.”

Sherry’s head instantly ran inside her head as if she finally understood what Duncan was saying, and her eyes immediately glowed again, “Ah, so …… it’s good for me to keep my distance from that God of Wisdom instead?”

What else could Duncan say? He could only nod his head.

As a result, as soon as he nodded on his side, the expression on Shirley’s face instantly became happy, “Then will I have a reason not to do my homework from now on? I have to pull Dog back!”

Duncan: “……?!”

He never expected that to be the first thing that came to the girl’s mind!

But this time, before he could say anything, Morris beside him was the first to respond, “It’s not that simple.”

Shirley froze, “Huh?”

The old gentleman had a serious face, “My Lord does not send down blessings based on the level of knowledge alone, and vice versa – and from what I’ve seen in this period of time, even if you do your homework every day, it won’t affect you from being rejected by the God of Wisdom.”

Sherry: “??”
