Chapter 459 – The Risk of Being Watched by God

Chapter 459 The Risk of Being Watched by the Gods

According to Morris, the standard …… of the God of Wisdom when he descends to bestow blessings seems to be a very subtle thing.

“In most people’s impression, followers of the God of Wisdom must be either great scholars with great learning or eccentric geniuses with amazing talents in a certain field – this perception certainly can’t be considered wrong, after all, most followers of the God of Wisdom really do have to fulfill the criteria of ‘ erudite’ and ‘intelligent’ conditions, but all is not absolute.”

Maurice sat on a chair near the doorway of the captain’s room, ignoring the subtle expression of Shirley next to him while explaining seriously.

“First of all, being favored by the God of Wisdom doesn’t necessarily require an extremely high level of knowledge, just like the current Dog – it’s learning at a fast pace, but compared to the ‘regular believers’ who have truly passed the three rounds of the Church’s exams, its current The level of scholarship was clearly insufficient, but it was still noticed by Rahm, and in other city-states, there were many believers and even saints of later renown who had received revelations before they had mastered a high level of knowledge.

“The most notable of these examples is the saintly Professor ‘Colfroid’ of more than two hundred years ago, a great scholar who received revelation at the age of sixteen, while he was a dock laborer and could not even read or write at all – and it was only after receiving the It was only after the revelation that he had access to bookish knowledge.

“And in another diametrically opposite example, there was once a scholar of some renown in the city-state of Moksha who spent his life trying to gain the favor of the God of Wisdom, and who passed almost all of the examination programs of the Academy of Truth, but was unable to see the light of the Rahm until he passed away – after which the Academy of Truth posthumously bestowed on this scholar the the honorary title of Saint, and there is more than one similar case …….”

Duncan stroked his chin thoughtfully, “It sounds like …… the God of Wisdom’s ‘admission criteria’ are somewhat arbitrary?”

“I can’t say it’s arbitrary, after all, what I said above can only be considered a ‘few cases’, otherwise the Academy of Truth wouldn’t have used the unified examination as an effective means of initial screening of believers,” Maurice shook his head, “I can only say that the God is so unfathomable. are so unfathomable, even the four positive gods, they have their own standards for measuring the world, and mortals have only happened to summarize a few of those laws over thousands of years.”

Listening to Maurice’s rather serious explanation, Duncan, however, did not say anything, but just sat there with a pensive face, with another opinion in his mind.

The first part of the old man’s explanation and example may not be a problem, but his last step of the “conclusion” …… is still open to question.

Are the behavioral patterns of the gods really beyond speculation? Rahm descended to watch the process of those “exceptions” or even “outrageous” situations …… behind another reason?

Unconsciously, that strange dark space and the communication messages he saw in the darkness appeared in his mind again.

Suspected God of Wisdom Lahm’s individual “LH-02”, mentioned at the end of the exchange of those words …… really let him incomparably concerned.

If those messages really happen in real time, if LH-02 is really Rahm, if everything is really as Duncan thought …… then the so-called “gods” in the mouths of the earthly beings, it is really worthwhile for him to think deeply.

In thought, he involuntarily raised his eyelids, and his gaze fell on Dog.

Just as Maurice had said, although Dog had shown an amazing talent for learning, his current “academic level” was far from being able to catch up with those great scholars who had long been famous in the Truth Academy, but it was such a Dog, who had only recently gotten rid of his illiteracy, who had received the direct attention of the God of Wisdom, Rahm! –This is an honor that thousands of scholars in the Academy of Truth have never dared to think about in their entire lives (although it seems that this is not a good thing for Dog).

So what is it that attracts Rahm? Was it Dog’s “gift”? Is it his spirit of learning? Or is it ……

Was it the fact that he was a mutant belonging to the Profound Cluster? Is it because he is a mutant belonging to the Profound Cluster, a Profound Hound that has acquired the Heart, which happens to meet the LH-02’s identification criteria?
Dog shrank back from Duncan’s silent gaze, and it was only after a long time that he couldn’t help but say, “Captain, you ……”.

Duncan did not respond to Dog, but turned his head to look at Maurice, “In your judgment, is it possible that Shirley could have suddenly passed the God of Wisdom’s ‘criteria’ at some point and been accepted by Rahm?”

Morris froze and immediately shook his head, “There is absolutely no such possibility!”

“So sure?” Duncan’s attitude was very serious, “You also said just now that Rahm’s ‘standard of judgment’ is not so absolute, and sometimes even illiterate people are suddenly looked upon.”

“There are exceptions to the God of Wisdom’s judging standard, but at least there is one thing that has never been wrong – those who have been rejected once will not be given a second chance. Although there are very few instances in history where a person has been explicitly rejected by the God of Wisdom, at least ……”

Maurice paused at that, his gaze sweeping over Sherry.

“At least when Dog was about to be ‘taken’, Shirley was able to pull him back into the real world on his own, which is the clearest ‘rejection’ by a God of Wisdom of a mortal that I can imagine. ” Duncan gave Shirley a complicated look, while the latter seemed to be still a bit confused; the girl looked left and right, and it was only after a long time that she ventured, “So?”

“So you still have to do your homework,” Duncan threw in without hesitation, “and don’t even think about refusing to study on the pretext of ‘helping Dog block the divine apocalypse’.”

“Ah-” Shirley instantly cried out, her brain was a few minutes faster than usual this time, “You all just clearly said that I’m not study material ah- -The God of Wisdom have made it clear not to want this brain of mine ……”

“In this world, more than ninety percent of the people don’t have a chance to enter the Truth Academy, sixty percent of the people only take the exams in order to get a certificate of graduation, and almost one hundred percent of the people will never become a saint of Rahm or suffer His gaze in their lifetime,” Duncan quietly gazed into Shirley’s eyes, his expression and seriousness of his tone, “Do you think that I decided to teach you to read and write in the first place so that you could become a great scholar like Maurice?”

Shirley was taken aback by Duncan’s seriousness, and opened her mouth a few times without uttering a word, before she slowly lowered her eyelids a moment later, “I …… know …… I’m sorry for being capricious ……”

“It’s okay, you’re still a child in my eyes – children are allowed to be willful,” Duncan shook his head gently, “Relax, I’m not scolding you, I was just thinking… . what Dog should do in the future.”

“Me?” Dog, who was plopping down nicely next to him, looked up blankly, not seeming to follow Duncan’s train of thought, “What’s going to happen to me in the future?”

Duncan gazed into its eyes, “Have you ever thought that there is a possibility that you will be watched by Rahm for a third or fourth time in the future?”

Dog was stunned for a moment, then responded with a look …… It didn’t have a look, but it shivered all over its body in a meaty way.

“Then …… that I can’t read books from now on?” Its tone was tinged with nervousness.

“The God of Wisdom is not a ‘shadow’ attracted to books-as a god, He has noticed you,” responded it with a sideways glance at Maurice, an old scholar who Shaking his head with a gaze in his eyes, “I cannot speculate on His will, but since He took an interest in you once, there is no guarantee that He will seek you out again in the future, and this is true even if you stop reading in the future, even ……”

The old scholar paused for a moment, with a slightly odd look in his expression, as if he was unsure whether or not to describe the gods he believed in in such a way, but in the end he shook his head and opened his mouth, “It can even be said that as long as you are still ‘thinking’, then your mind will always remain in the sight of the God of Wisdom, and He It all depends on His mind as to when He casts His sight on you again.”

The red light in Dog’s eyes all visibly trembled.

Duncan, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel some strange emotions in his heart after hearing Maurice’s words – how could Rahm’s “blessing” sound like the curse of an evil god when he listened to this description?
But he thought for a moment and realized that if you put the perspective on a profound demon, then the blessing of any positive god is really no different from the curse of an evil god…….

This time, even Alice, who hadn’t said anything, reacted, and she suddenly said, “Then won’t Dog live in danger every day?”

“The danger is there, but as long as the connection between it and Shirley remains, the danger may not be fatal,” Duncan shook his head, “From Dog’s description as well as my …… well, my guess, Rahm doesn’t mean any harm. He may not even have realized that the ‘mind’ that just appeared in his sight belonged to a Phantom Demon, and on that basis, he most likely would not have used a more ‘drastic’ approach to ‘take ‘Dog.”

Listening to Duncan’s judgment, Dog could only hang his head with a hint of sadness in his tone, “Hey …… it looks like that’s all we can think about.”

“Be broad-minded, you and Shirley still have my mark on you, even if the worst happens and Shirley can’t pull you back, I should be able to sense it,” Duncan relieved the jittery Dog, “Although I haven’t tried it before, I don’t mind trying to snatch a person from a ‘ Positive God’ to snatch a man …… from a dog.”

“And I’ll definitely pull you!” Shirley also immediately said, patting her chest while shaking the symbiotic chains in her hand, “Don’t worry, Dog, I’ve got a brain that’s been explicitly rejected by the God of Wisdom! It’s definitely enough to serve as your safety anchor!”

Dog’s side was about to be touched after hearing Duncan’s words, but then he was caught a bit off guard by Sherry’s confident and proud attitude, and could only raise his head and stare blankly at the other party, “This …… isn’t something to be proud of, is it?”

Shirley, however, did not answer, still just giggling.

Only her fingers that clutched the chain tightened and tightened.
