Chapter 580 Ah, Yes, Yes, Yes
Talking about sentimental topics in winter always makes the air feel particularly cold, making people want to get closer to each other to keep warm. While borrowing each other's warmth, they seem to be able to create more warmth to warm up the cold and wet winter of Sturm.
The conversation between Lin En and Mary soon turned from physical health issues to what he was going to do.
Perhaps she was worried.
Or maybe she really treated Lin En as her own son. Princess Gao En inadvertently told Lin En a lot about the rights and obligations of extraordinary people from various countries on the continent. In fact, this is not a secret, but few people will summarize it. Regarding extraordinary people, especially middle-level extraordinary people, they have great power and are the actual managers. And the higher they go, such as demigods, they basically don't care about things, unless there is a catastrophic event, they will fulfill their obligations.
Logically speaking, the higher the pyramid, the greater the power.
This is what Lin En doesn't understand.
If you don't understand, just ask. The princess mother who is in a good mood is here. Wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity if you don't ask her? Facing Lin En's puzzlement, the princess also gave an answer, that is, the pursuit of things is different. For example, when they reach the level of demigods, they no longer pursue power.
Why do people pursue power?
Power can bring benefits, commonly known as official addiction. Not only can they enjoy material benefits, but they can also make people flatter, so power can make people greedy.
Do you still need power when you become a demigod?
In terms of material, the extraordinary people at the demigod level go to the astral world to develop their abilities, and get things that the surface world cannot provide. In terms of recognition from others, how tough it is to be able to become a demigod in spirit. Taking magic potions on the extraordinary road of life and death, controlling oneself, resisting loss of control, and driving towards dusk, such a will is not an exaggeration to call it a mental stamp.
In addition, the nearly infinite world of the astral world is obviously more suitable for demigods to live and let go of their hands and feet, so there is nothing that can hold demigods except emotions and the principles of civilization.
There are also gods above who are watching the development of civilization from a distance, giving some rewards or oracles for progress, although this situation has become less and less since entering the steam age.
All of this combined has resulted in the situation where the middle-ranking people are in power and the demigods have higher aspirations. The concept of the righteous gods being neither good nor evil is actually deeply affecting those extraordinary people who are close to them. They will not interfere with the development of human civilization, nor will they force anything to change. As long as this is what the individuals in the civilization expect and are willing to show courage and responsibility to pursue, they will not intervene at will.
What Her Royal Highness said is all information passed down by word of mouth by the royal nobles, and it is rarely known to the people below.
Because this can directly shake the ruling foundation of the royal families of various countries from the most fundamental level.
In the eyes of the righteous gods, they are actually no different from other untouchables. The righteous gods always focus on only two things: history and civilization. If this is known to the ambitious people, there will inevitably be a kind of turmoil on the continent, and extreme church forces may even appear.
After all, the righteous gods just exist.
As long as you don't blaspheme, you humans have the natural right to interpret it however you want. The fundamentals of the righteous gods will not change, and they exist as a matter of course.
Arrogant? Disdainful? Or goodwill?
Lin En once again got to know the righteous gods more deeply. Compared with the past, his mentality has also changed a lot. He thinks that the attitude of the righteous gods is actually very chaotic. To use the words before crossing, it is just like the four most famous Chaos Evil Gods in Warhammer.
Khorne can be the God of Courage, Tzeentch can be the God of Wisdom, and so on.
There is always a soil for them to exist, and what their image looks like depends on how all life sees and recognizes them. The righteous gods in this world are better. They are not as easy to be blackened as the four Chaos Gods. There are white and black, which is very balanced and considerate.
In general, from the picture scroll of history, the righteous gods are generally inclined to order and positive, of course, there are also acts of reversing history.
At the beginning, the elf civilization and the ocean civilization stabbed each other with blood.
The final winner let himself fly to the star realm, chasing the glory of the righteous gods with the final posture of a civilization, and asking the great gods with practical actions. This behavior can be called a treasonous act.
I haven't seen any righteous god stop him at all costs.
'Then I shouldn't worry about my behavior at least in the short term...' Lin En had a clearer judgment about the future direction in his heart.
'I say, big brother, you are a real big brother. You haven't even started yet, but you dare to think about the plan of the righteous god. If the Phoenix King is here, he will definitely praise you as a dreamer in thought. ' Fei Lian Mingxi hid in the Silmaril, and she was not afraid of being discovered by Mary. At present, as long as the angels did not descend, she basically couldn't find her parasitic elf.
'What do you know, this is called being prepared for any eventuality. '
'Ah, right, right, don't bark, you are Zhuge Liang who has no plan left... Damn, what is Zhuge Liang, a name? Why haven't I heard of such a strange surname. '
The old virgin of the elf said something casually and couldn't help muttering.
Lin En was happy in his heart!
He is now deliberately controlling his nourishment for the immortal flower, strictly abiding by not exposing his identity as a time traveler, as for other cultures, let it be leaked. For Fei Lian Mingxi, who was receiving information exchange at the soul level, this was simply a torture that she could not get.
Many of the cultural knowledge she obtained could not be verified from where human civilization had emerged.
But they did exist, and the communication with Lin En in this regard could be said to be happy and relaxed, proving that they were not fabricated. Fei Lian Mingxi also knew that this might be one of Lin En's biggest secrets, and she had not deliberately inquired about it, silently suppressing her curiosity.
Lin En also mentioned it to this elf lady.
If one day the time is ripe, and the soul contract between them is successfully reached, becoming the closest relationship, then he will explain to her the source of his culture.
Well, according to the approximate time calculation.
If Lin En was not hanged on the gallows as a traitor at that time, it is very likely that he would bring the armed workers and peasants and the new extraordinary people to play reform on this continent. Of course, the worst case scenario may be that Mr. Lin En, who easily pushed the reactionaries, used the power of the entire country to develop the star world and study how to go home.
Who can tell what will happen in the future?
It can only be said that as long as you maintain a strong enterprising spirit and a clear mind, everything is possible in this era.
