Chapter 723 I guess you must be a very high level star wizard
"I guess the so-called key figure is related to [King Dom]."
The story had a clichéd beginning, and Mo Cheng could guess how it would turn out.
The old man just gave Mo Cheng a reproachful look and said, "I think it's a good idea to close your mouth and listen slowly when you're listening to a story."
That's because there is no SKIP to press.
Although he was thinking about it, Mo Cheng still cherished this opportunity to obtain information, so he closed his mouth and said nothing more.
This is also because there is no need to complete troublesome pre-tasks to obtain this information. If the other party had first given him a troublesome task and then slowly told him the story, Mo Cheng would have already pinched her neck and asked her to get to the point.
"That's a bard. There are few things he can do in a war-torn land, but they are important."
“He brought [hope] to that land.”
Hope, an ambiguous and unclear word. Mo Cheng was very interested in knowing how the bard brought "hope".
By his stories?
But it was obvious that perhaps Mo Cheng's previous interruption caused the old woman to lose the nature of detailed description, or perhaps even she did not know what that [hope] was.
She simply described it in one sentence, "That person used his death to bring [hope] to a land filled with killing, malice, lies, and fraud, and brought back [humanity]."
Oh my god, what is Bai Wunan? !
"After that man's death, his followers launched a plan to keep that hope going."
"The entire plan lasted for three hundred years. Those followers completely hid themselves and, after secretly controlling various countries, they united again to carry out the plan to the final step."
The old man looked at Mo Cheng and said word by word: "The purpose of the plan is to revive the person who possesses [Hope]."
"Resurrection is not that cheap." Mo Cheng frowned and refuted the old man, "To resurrect someone who has been dead for three hundred years, let alone whether we have the ability to control a few countries, we have to ask the gods for permission. Even the resurrection magic of the Glorious Pope can't do it."
This plan is not feasible at all, and anyone with a clear mind knows that, let alone a player like Mo Cheng.
In the original "Foreign Land", the copywriter often made up stories like this one where a very talented young man created a natural disaster of the undead in order to revive his lover.
At the same time, resurrection involves the ownership of the soul, which is equivalent to interfering with the property of the gods.
To put it bluntly, this is no different from reaching into the gods' private treasury.
This means you don't even know how to write the word "death".
"Yes, resurrection is not that cheap. Moreover , three hundred years is enough to change people's minds."
The old man nodded and continued, "But that is the goal they have been pursuing for three hundred years. Even if not for others, they must complete it for their own sake. Otherwise, their three hundred years of planning will become a joke. The meaning of their organization's existence will also lose its foundation."
In other words, some people or the vast majority of followers have forgotten their original goals and are planning to settle for second best.
"So, they changed their mindset. Since they couldn't revive the person who truly brought hope, they just let the hope that best suited everyone appear."
"With the cooperation of several countries, bishops of many churches and even the pope, the perfect king of all people, the hope worshipped by all, was resurrected."
Mo Cheng listened quietly to the origin of [King Dom]. It originated from an unknown bard who brought [hope], but what those followers finally brought out was a [hope] that met everyone's expectations.
Being recognized by everyone sounds perfect, but once he thought about it carefully, Mo Cheng felt a chill.
Mo Cheng's face was dark, and he squeezed out word by word from between his teeth, "Those idiots, they are creating gods!"
He finally understood why Dom was a god, because he was designed to be that way by his followers since the beginning of his birth.
Meeting everyone's expectations seems simple to say, but the actual manifestation is that when Dom appears in front of others, others feel that he is hope, and will follow his footsteps, listen to his ideas, and even learn from his deeds in practice, just like in that chaotic period.
This kind of thing can be called another name: faith.
Only God can absorb faith, and only God can be believed in, or will become God sooner or later.
What that group of followers conducted was a standard [God-making experiment]!
"King Dom, who is one-third God, one-third Hope, and one-third Man, was born, and the Vahlan Empire was born. Just when everyone thought that the king who existed only in fantasy would lead them to a better future..."
Mo Cheng added at the right time, "King Dom went crazy, and Mad King Dom appeared."
"Guess why King Dom is crazy?"
After knowing the reason, it is not difficult to guess the problem, "It is because [King Dom] meets everyone's expectations. No one can meet everyone's expectations, not even God."
When one person's expectation spreads to thousands or even more people, it is absolutely impossible to find the point that everyone can accept.
Even for gods, people choose to believe or not believe in them because of their doctrines, priesthood, divinity and other aspects. Even among believers, not all of them believe in them for the same reason.
"That is indeed one of the reasons." The old man nodded, "But King Dom existed for hundreds of years, why did he fall into madness at the end? Guess why."
For some unknown reason, the old man seemed like a riddle man at this time.
Mo Cheng wanted to punch the other person's face, then press her under his feet and use her face to wipe his shoes, and tell her that this was the Riddler's fate.
But he soon discovered that although the old man was only a few meters away from him, he was just out of his best burst range.
That was a distance where Mo Cheng was not sure he could completely kill the opponent.
"I guess you would be very suitable to be a star wizard."
In Mo Cheng's opinion, this old man's ability to tell riddles is even better than Dorothy beside him.
At least the latter generally do not speak in riddles on important matters.
