Of course, Jon could take care of his own life.
While Secretary Jin delivered the box, Jon even made himself a cup of coffee, and then sat on the sofa to read some reference books left by Joanne.
For me, the study of the ancient mythological civilization in the Muggle world.
Joanne read this, saying that she wanted to perfect the world view in her novel. After all, her novels were more realistic biographies, but after all, there were many fictional things. The magic world itself was in a state of civilization. She wanted to perfect the world view of this book, but it was impossible to write exactly the same as the current magic world. Therefore, it was very necessary to learn from the creative description of the "fictional" world of the predecessors.
On this point, Jon and Joanne's views were basically the same.
His research direction was mainly the evolution of world civilization. The Mythological Era, as the most important part of this part, occupied a very large position in his research.
Because the magic civilization in the West was broken in the Dark Age, and before the Dark Age was the home field of the Mythological Era, so these myths were also very meaningful for him.
After all, the Muggle world and the magic world were both worlds made up of human beings. Their records of some things were not particularly different in the very ancient times.
For the people of this era, what did myths mean?
Apart from the magic world, myths were just a way of observing the world around them, and myths were the result of events formed by their observation of the world.
For ordinary people, myths were not only a collection of stories that described the era of gods and heroes, but also provided some ways for ordinary people to understand the world.
Because in that era, people would not understand why there was a huge sun in the sky that rose the next morning, then circled the sky and finally sank to the west.
They didn't know what it was, and they didn't know how it moved. And since they didn't know that it was due to gravity or the rotation of other galaxies, the appearance of a myth was very logical.
This was just a conclusion. Coincidentally, at the same time that such a phenomenon existed, there were indeed gods who appeared in this world. They used the power and rules that they controlled to affect the world. For example, they could create a magical effect that covered the sky in a certain place. However, they could not directly affect the operation of the entire world.
For gods, the world was the foundation of their existence, and not all gods could live in the chaotic chaos.
Therefore, the gods themselves were also promoting the formation of a mythological system among ordinary people. These conclusions were very good for ordinary people who could not come into contact with the mysterious world. If they accidentally saw something they were not supposed to see, they could attribute the occurrence of this situation to the existence of myths and gods. Their explanations would further help them form a unique understanding and perception of this world, and then let this experience form a corresponding mature system. In this process of shaping, the gods were also involved, forming an indispensable part of the content.
Because in a world where not all life was in a mythological state, and technology was not very advanced, the existence of myths could become a mechanism to protect life against the indifference of reality. Under the influence of the gods behind the scenes, myths could become a cultural pillar in ordinary people's society, supporting the life of this society, facing ignorance and the unknown, and then making people's lives more meaningful.
This was the so-called spiritual pillar. As the gods of this world, they had the obligation to guide ordinary people, even if they did not know magic, to live in this world. Because for gods, whether it was a Wizard with magic or an ordinary person without magic, there was not much difference between them.
But for ordinary people, this was not the case. In the age of ignorance, the Wizard with magic could gain a deeper understanding of the world by studying magic, but ordinary people without the help of timely science could not see the true appearance of the world, and the unknown would bring many problems, such as chaos and fear. The role of myths was to stabilize the chaos, and while giving ordinary people faith, it brought order, control, and a certain degree of knowledge. In the age of gods and the early period of the Dark Age, it was the result of the research of the Wizard who lived on the side of the mysterious world, teaching ordinary people how to live in this world.
Different from the stories of gods created after the Dark Age, these mythological systems naturally derived from the Mythological Era could be perfectly embedded in the lives of ordinary people.
Unlike some religions that preached that God was omnipotent and supreme, in these ancient myths and stories, myths and stories lingered in people's lives every day.
The process of creation, destruction, re-creation, and re-destruction happened every day. In this cycle, myths and stories were no longer exclusive to gods, but were involved in the lives of ordinary people.
This led to ordinary people living in that era, and even the Wizard could occasionally become the protagonists of myths and stories. When the mysterious led the society, the Wizard with the mysterious power was often the authority to explain some unusual things.
And these Wizard were often the followers or followers of the gods. Under the guidance of the will of the upper level, they interpreted these unusual things as ordinary things that happened in the secular world, as insignificant natural phenomena, and attributed them to the influence of the gods on the world. Thus, the gods were pulled into the world of ordinary people.
At this stage, the gods were not high and mighty. They would occasionally appear in the world as guides to play their role. According to some ancient books that Jon had read, the will of the world behind all this, which was the [Deep Blue Sea], was pushing everything to happen.
The world was developing in a spiral, and as the will of the whole world, it only hoped that the world would develop in a good direction, and it had no other ideas.
Jon found a research book about ancient Egyptian mythology in Joanne's library. This kind of information was described and reorganized by the latecomers, and it could only be used as a supplement. He was about to open it when the doorbell suddenly rang.
