As a matter of fact, Professor Sprout had seen a lot of things like this in her long history of magic research.
Ancient Egypt was not the only divine system in the world. Even in a vast land like Huaxia, the divine system was mainly based on Huaxia. There were also many small ethnic groups. In a land like the West, the divine system was even more intricate. There were ancient Romans, ancient Greeks, and Norse gods. In short, there were many divine systems.
In such an environment, with the passing of eras and the unearthing of history, countless relics of the gods that had been hidden by the changes of time were exposed in front of the wizards of the magic world. Thus, the wizards actually had some understanding of the relics of the gods.
Therefore, for Professor Sprout, it was not difficult to find a suitable solution. The real problem was how to get Jon to take it off.
"If you can't take it off, wearing it like this is actually a solution."
Chown looked at Professor Sprout and said, "I'm not trying to comfort you. I really feel that way. The glove seems to have grown out of my hand. It has no effect on my life at all. It can even strengthen me to a certain extent when I use magic. Besides, it doesn't have a close connection with my skin. I guess it's using magic or the rules of God to attract itself to my hand. I don't think it will affect me in any way."
"I can only say that you're too naive, Jon."
Professor Sprout was not as indifferent as Jon. On the contrary, this witch was very serious.
"Anything related to the gods is not simple. To put it nicely, it may be helpful to your magic or life. But to put it crudely, it may cause you to be assimilated by the god's legacy. In the end, you will become the agent of life in the world. You will completely lose your own consciousness and become a body that carries the will of life."
The gods were never kind to the life in the world.
Even though they needed believers, faith, and images to be passed down to the human world and not lose their reputation, they didn't care about an individual like Chown.
To put it bluntly, they only cared about the group of humans, not the individuals living in the group.
This kind of thing was not strange even in human society. Humans always looked down on each other, not to mention the existence of gods who looked down on the human world.
Even if he was a lost god, he was still a god. He was not someone that Jon could resist.
"This may sound a little tongue-twisting, but I understand." Jon tilted his head. "But the current problem is that we have no other way to solve the problem of the gloves. Although I admit that it's a little suicidal to wear it, since it's a done deal, there's no need to regret it."
"Of course it is necessary."
Sprout was obviously not as negative as Jon. "Who told you that this thing is a foregone conclusion?"
You yourself?!
Just as Jon was about to blurt out the words, he choked them back in his throat. Because he thought carefully, Professor Sprout indeed didn't mention that he couldn't take off the glove.
So he cast a begging look at Professor Sprout.
"Well, don't look at me like that." Professor Sprout did not intend to hide anything. The witch closed the book in front of her and said to Chown, "For the things left behind by the gods in the human world, if you want to avoid its influence, you can only influence it in reverse. This is the so-called preemptive strike to gain the upper hand."
Since things had developed to this point, there was no way to remove this thing from himself, so he might as well try to control it.
Besides, in the current magical world, such a divine item was very attractive to any Wizard.
Especially in Egypt and India, for those Wizards who did not use wands to cast spells, the blessing of this pair of gloves could be said to be a gift from the gods.
"I don't think the glove is anything special. After all, I don't see any good effects at all. The problem is solved first."
"Isn't that the reason why you put on the glove?"
Professor Sprout glared at Jon and began to bury her head in thought.
Jon did not say anything more, because he knew that the problem was not only that he put the gloves on, but also the tingling sensation that came from the gloves after he put them on.
If it was a mummy, would it have to suck him dry?
This terrible thought lasted in his mind for a moment, then he threw it to the back of his mind, because it was indeed a little ridiculous.
Even if this was really the glove of Osiris, Osiris was also a real god, not the mummy image that was presented to him.
There was no need to worry too much.
While Professor Sprout was deep in thought, Jon put on the gloves and began to fiddle with the box in front of him again.
He learned very quickly. Although he did not study it carefully, he still roughly read the myths of ancient Egypt during the period just now.
Although myths could not be completely trusted, they were, after all, records of history at that time, so it was more or less believable.
In the myths of ancient Egypt, the goddess of magic, Isis, found the body of Osiris, opened the box that sealed his body, and then buried him again. After being buried, Osiris was reincarnated in the underworld and became Hades.
What was interesting was that this pair of gloves, according to the mythological description, was just a piece of cloth wrapped around the mummy.
The real cloth should have disappeared long ago, just like a corpse disguised with beeswax. Jon had personally witnessed the death of a unicorn, so he knew how this kind of life disappeared. The same should be true for gods. After they died, their bodies would gradually return to the embrace of the world.
In fact, this could be considered a law of conservation of energy … For some reason, this idea suddenly came to Jon's mind. There was a limit to the energy in the world. When a part of the energy was absorbed by the gods, then after the gods died, this part of the energy would inevitably return to the world.
This idea sounded reasonable, didn't it?
The box in front of him looked ordinary, but it could last for so long without dissipating like the gloves, and even looked relatively new. It was definitely not an ordinary thing.
While he was thinking, Professor Sprout suddenly made a sound.
