Ascension journey - 401. Chapter 396

Although unguarded and claimed to be a library, the Tower of Knowledge is after all the temple of a true god, and people who come here consciously constrain their words and deeds in this place close to the gods.

Cheng Bin crossed the neatly standing crowd of all races in front of the bard, and arrived in front of the space-time magical array that exudes a soft light and presents a whirlpool shape on the tower.

Beside the door-door-like vortex, there are some dynamically changing runes suspended. The magic that it constitutes can accurately identify all the lives watching it, and display a large amount of information to the watchers without barriers through the language of the soul.

The previous is an official introduction about the God of Knowledge and the teachings of his church.

However, in addition to claiming to be absolutely neutral, the entire introduction only mentions a few words about the priesthood of Oghma, the god of knowledge, indicating that his priests and believers only focus on the collection of knowledge, and do not even mention the dissemination of knowledge. This type of behavior will interfere with other forces.

The following is about the precautions for entering the tower of knowledge.

Just like its name, the Tower of Knowledge contains the knowledge collected by the Church of the God of Knowledge, and even its core area has a direct link to the Kingdom of the God of Knowledge, Oghma, so this tower theoretically contains All the known knowledge of the entire world.

However, visitors who are not followers of the God of Knowledge cannot enter this tower. Even when they look at the contents of this rune array, they will have awe in their hearts, and they will give up under the implanted ideas. Attempt to enter the tower.

Only the strong who can break through this layer of spiritual interference originating from divine art-in general, specifically the legend-and the god of knowledge who has a clear line of belief, can enter this high from the vortex array that folds and twists time and space. tower.

With a glance, Cheng Bin, who analyzed all the structures of this rune array clearly and saw the hierarchical hidden information inside it, wanted to try to simulate a Holy Spirit-level faith to trick the detection mechanism into it. Maybe he could still touch it directly. Get in touch with the god of knowledge——

Ordinarily recite the name of the gods…just like Morrigan’s performance, ordinary gods cannot subjectively distinguish and parse the complex information that is fed back from the god’s name. They rely on the godhead to process the feedback of the god’s name, usually they can only Passively perceive some special warnings.

A mortal being who is not even a believer chanted the name of a god, saying that there are some god-level things to discuss. It is estimated that the passive feedback of the gods will only be used as mad talk, and the feedback mechanism is designed to be irritable. Uncertainly, I just threw it away.

After thinking about it carefully, he still didn’t choose to pretend to be a high-level believer to enter the door——

Judging from Morrigan’s reaction to seeing him twisting his soul to forge a belief connection in the blink of an eye, this is a rather provocative behavior, and there is not much difference in nature between entering the door with this method and directly hitting the door to demolish the home.

So the demigod Red Dragon, who specializes in soul spells, ignored the mental interference of the rune array and directly stepped into the whirlpool door.

Cheng Bin, who had observed from the outside, was not surprised by the sudden distortion of time and space before his eyes after stepping into the whirlpool——

The main temple of the gods, naturally, can’t really be as big as the plain appearance, and the secrets hidden inside the tower without guarding knowledge are obviously far more terrifying than the magic tower of the legendary mage.

In the extremely short transmission gap, Cheng Bin carefully looked at the fast-changing rune array around him. Through these runes that were almost distorted into a colorful light curtain, although he could not directly see through its internal operating mechanism, he could at least see it. It shows the creator’s design ideas and writing habits on the rune array.

“It is said that this tower of knowledge was built by the god of knowledge himself…”

The transmission process of Baiju quickly ended. Cheng Bin compiled the data he had hurriedly scanned, and then came to the conclusion——

“From the details observed so far, the God of Knowledge has a much deeper understanding of Rune Language than me. If it weren’t for me to control my soul by a special algorithm, I’m afraid I can’t even keep up with the subtle control of magic. ..”

Standing in the dark space similar to the star realm, Cheng Bin looked at the pale yellow ancient scroll that was slowly unfolding in front of him, with a subtle expression on his face: “In the thinking and command mechanism of elements, magic, and runes It’s not easy for ordinary people to maintain their normal thinking ability to reach this level of control…”

In the boundless darkness, the only light without words scrolls completely unfolded, and then a thought without any emotion is passed from the scrolls to Cheng Bin—”The existence of wisdom and close to gods, you are qualified to watch the scrolls of knowledge. , But you have to pay for an answer for every question you ask.”

Cheng Bin, who looked at the ancient scrolls, was clear in his heart–Is there something similar to an intelligent program based on the language of runes? No wonder the magic control here is so fine. Take a closer look at the divinity in this ancient scroll. ..

In the high-level information hidden outside the tower, Cheng Bin already knows about the mechanism of this ancient scroll of knowledge that will only be displayed in front of special groups of people-for non-believers visitors, it will raise a question After the visitor answers this question, he can in turn ask questions to it, and conduct alternative information transactions in this cycle.

Knowledge Scrolls will measure the true and false and relative value of the answers, and will provide detailed or vague answers as appropriate in the subsequent questions and feedback. In short, make the transaction of knowledge and information as equal and harmonious as possible.

The god of knowledge is theoretically familiar with all knowledge in the world, but the definition of this “knowledge” depends on the specific form of the priesthood. In any case, the god of knowledge cannot be the true “all-knowing”, so the ancient scrolls of knowledge It’s not surprising that Cheng Bin has a question, but…

The first question raised by the Ancient Knowledge Scrolls made Cheng Bin feel very weird.

“Excuse me, are you male? Female? Male? Female? Asexual? Or something else?”

What the heck is this… the surprised silver-haired elf lowered his head and glanced at his lower body. After pondering the meaning of this question for a while, he raised his head and smiled: “Sexless.”

——This question is not about confirming the status of my outsider’s body, right? With the magical abilities embodied in the tower of knowledge, it is not difficult to decipher the gender of the red dragon body by deciphering my transfiguration…I deliberately separate male and female according to the meaning of the common language, even the racial cognition is within the scope of testing?

A string of changing rune words appeared on the paper of the Scroll of Knowledge, and at the same time, the power of the real name level was constantly surging, and it seemed that the answer was being tested by the method of the gods.

Before long, another soul language rang from Cheng Bin’s side: “Please ask questions.”

Cheng Bin, who originally planned to ask all the rules of the priesthood first, changed his mind due to the weird question of the ancient knowledge scrolls. He thoughtfully said: “I am communicating with me here, the god of knowledge, Oghma?”

The opportunity to ask questions about the ancient scrolls of knowledge is actually quite precious. Most people who see the ancient scrolls are basically limited to the number and scope of questions. If they see Cheng Bin’s treatment and the questions raised, they may be upset.

Hearing the question raised by Cheng Bin, the brilliance of the runes circulating on the Scroll of Knowledge suddenly changed for a while, and then replied: “It is the’God of Knowledge’, not the’God of Knowledge Oghma’.”

Cheng Bin was taken aback for a moment-the name of the gods would never be recorded wrongly, right? So, is AI hosting the godhead? Or is this ancient scroll of knowledge a kind of simulation of the essence of Oghma? Oghma is actually in a state of disconnection from the gods’ duties? No wonder it’s always so low-key.

While Cheng Bin was pondering, the Scroll of Knowledge gleamed and asked the next question: “What behavior will you have fun in? Enjoy food? Improve your strength? Take control? Increase your spouse? Or something else?”

——Will other people who see ancient scrolls be asked such weird questions?

Cheng Bin, who felt that he couldn’t figure out the thinking circuit of the ancient scroll of knowledge, sighed silently-the life enjoyment of a gourmet spouse is really far away for his existence…

Happiness is just a kind of stress response of the soul, an indirect stimulus of changes on the material level. How can it be convenient to manually control one’s soul? It’s just a joy that is far deeper than the material level, too much indulgence will destroy the soul algorithm…

Cheng Bin does not intend to separate the emotional part of the soul algorithm, but he also does not want to increase the emotional response linked to material changes.

After reviewing his own experience in this world, Cheng Bin simply replied to the Scroll of Knowledge: “Prove the unknown.”

This time, the reaction speed of the Knowledge Scrolls was much faster. Almost the moment Cheng Bin answered, he responded: “Please ask questions.”

Cheng Bin smiled: “My question is, please verify that the conjectures in this document are correct-“Priest Architecture and Interface Protocol””

The high-level and general-purpose soul language can convey extremely complex and huge information. Cheng Bin followed the external perception channels of the knowledge scrolls that he had cracked through his observations, and he squeezed the documents he edited as a problem.

A why always contains more whys. The Scroll of Knowledge cannot fully answer the detailed and terrifying questions raised by Cheng Bin. After all, the priesthood connecting reality and the kingdom of God involves a lot of secrets about the gods, but it is just observation. Cheng Bin can understand a lot of things that interest him in the process of analyzing and processing this problem in the Scroll of Knowledge.

Because of the existence of a similar intelligent program, the Ancient Scroll of Knowledge, its structure is very similar to some of the god-level things in Cheng Bin’s theoretical conjecture.

However, the reaction of the Knowledge Scrolls was somewhat beyond Cheng Bin’s expectations-he thought that the other party would be vague due to the complexity of the problem, but what he did not expect was that the Knowledge Scrolls added notes to the information word by word. The feedback came back in the original format.

Looking at the answers in the data files that were detailed to a certain extent, and did not even avoid the operation of the ancient scrolls themselves, Cheng Bin opened his lips slightly and said: “This is all right? Too big…”

Although it is impossible to directly verify the absence of a god, only through the various characteristics and interfaces of the real name and divinity that have been mastered so far, Cheng Bin can confirm that the explanations and answers on the details of the priesthood in this document are quite logical and large. To a degree is true.

However, even with the existence of the Ancient Scroll of Knowledge, the knowledge of the gods does not exceed the style of painting in this world. This has led to many terms in the feedback annotations based on the cognitive perspective of some fantasy and idealism. Cheng Bin spent a little time and effort. Translated into the format you are accustomed to and incorporated into your own knowledge system.

For example, on how to prepare for the sublimation of the priesthood by purifying the mind and regulating the divine realm, the feedback information of the knowledge scroll expresses a set of humanity to divinity mood carving and will training method, replaced by Cheng Bin’s set. , Is a series of soul algorithm adjustments based on the interference of the material carrier.

This cannot be said that the law that the other party recognizes is wrong. After all, you can succeed without compromising if you follow the other party’s way. But Cheng Bin will naturally think that his cognitive perspective is deeper, more objective, and true.

Even this kind of firm materialistic worldview was once in the cage of time by Sameer who had grasped the logical contradiction of the concept itself, and it was justified.

According to the translated clergy knowledge, Cheng Bin adjusted the information contained in the divine nature in his body, and by observing the divine response in the ancient scrolls of knowledge, he indirectly confirmed the specific form and content of the clergy field of Oghma, the god of knowledge.

“Is Oghma’s definition of knowledge like this?” After understanding the divinity of the god of knowledge, Cheng Bin understood the material changes and information structure corresponding to the other’s priesthood. Ogmar is much more complex and profound than Morrigan…”

In addition to the control of existing knowledge and the definition of the concept of things, in all planes of this world, all intelligent beings that have not touched the realm of God, the inspiration and ideas based on the knowledge of specific things in their thinking activities will be Touch the priesthood of Oghma, the god of knowledge, to induce induction and gain a certain amount of divine power.

Oghma can even participate in this process based on the induction of divine power-he can even induce and interfere before certain inspirations are born, thereby preventing the corresponding knowledge from appearing in the world.

If the priesthood of the God of Knowledge is slightly broadened and has enough power to feed back all the inductions, all intelligent creatures in this world will not be able to escape the fate of being interfered with by his thoughts.

The power of gods is indeed far stronger than that of mortals, even the weakest gods are far more terrifying than the most powerful demigods in the field of their priesthood.

“This kind of clergy-level induction and feedback covers all planes of the astral realm…” Cheng Bin couldn’t help but sighed for the terrifying potential of the knowledge clergy. “Fortunately, when I entered the world, I maintained a super The highly complex soul algorithm, the priesthood of the God of Knowledge is based on the judgment standard of the normal life soul form, and there is no way to identify my soul activity…”

It’s not surprising that Cheng Bin is immune to the influence of the priesthood based on the soul of ordinary intelligent life. After all, the life of the devil’s soul algorithm is not within the sensing range of Oghma, the god of knowledge. Cheng Bin’s soul is directly created by the quantum incarnation. To some extent, it is much more weird and complicated than the devil.

Just as Cheng Bin was verifying and collating knowledge about the priesthood in his heart, the Scroll of Knowledge asked again…
