Angor carefully went through each of the six prohibitions in his mind.
Most of the prohibitions looked normal, but they were extremely difficult to trigger.
Take Angor as an example. If he went to Neon City without knowing about the prohibitions, he would not fall for them either.
Although the prohibitions looked close, they were actually far away from the general public. However, even if they were very far away, those who lived in Buluo Royal City or planned to go there in the future had to remember these prohibitions.
Look at Luigi for example.
The reason why he listened to the rules of the gods without any distractions was because he had been in Bu Luo City for a long time. If he did not understand all the prohibitions and violated them, even Laplace would not be able to save him.
After all, even the slightest chance of something happening was not impossible. What if he really ran into one?
Therefore, he had to listen carefully.
"Apart from the Six Great Prohibitions, what are the Three Great Oracles? After learning about the prohibitions, Angor finally asked the question he was most curious about.
In another dimension, Angor could understand the literal meaning of the word "oracle". It was an order issued by a god himself. But in Neon City, Angor did not understand it.
The "god" of Neon City was Lady Mirror. But Lady Mirror was in hibernation right now. How could she issue such an order?
Besides, even if Lady Mirror was not in hibernation, she would not issue such an order to the people of Neon City, right? Even if Lady Mirror didn't know about the existence of Bu Luo City, it was still a question.
So how did the "oracle" come about? Who was the one who sent it?
"This has nothing to do with Lady Mirror," Laplace said as soon as he saw through Angor's plan. "Yes.
"Priest Red Mirror tried to link the oracle to Lady Mirror, but that would only fool the general public. Those who know the inside story know that Lady Mirror never returned to the Mirror Domain after she left. This can't be an order from Lady Mirror. "Yes."
Angor frowned. "In other words, Priest Red Mirror is using Lady Mirror's name to issue false orders? "Yes.
Laplace shook his head. "Priest Red Mirror did issue such orders in Lady Mirror's name, but they are not false. "Yes.
"Why do you say that? "
Laplace: "That begins with the oracle itself. If the rules of the Unfallen Kingdom were arranged in order of importance, then the lowest level would be the eighteen decrees, the middle level would be the six prohibitions, and at the top of the pyramid would be the three great oracles.
From this, it could be seen that the Oracle was actually more important than the Prohibition. The reason was actually very simple.
Prohibition refers to the things you can't do. It's a rule that regulates your daily behavior. Even though this rule wasn't particularly severe, it was still a shackle that had been imposed on them to a certain extent.
If it was a shackle, then it was not a good thing.
However, the Oracle was different. It was a different type of buff. It was like sweet nectar, attracting countless swarms of bees to absorb it.
"Oracles and prohibitions are actually very similar. Prohibitions mean that you can't do something, while oracles hope that you can do something, so that you can receive a gift from the gods. "Take, for example, the Three Oracles this time. "
"The first oracle, every evening, in the inner city square of Bu Luo Royal City, according to the host's instructions, recite the prayers of the gods, and you will be able to obtain the effect of twenty-four hours of spiritual thoughts. "
"The second oracle, every morning, noon, and midnight, no matter where you are in Bu Luo Royal City, as long as you sincerely bow in the direction of the Shrine of Mirrors for three minutes, you will be able to obtain the effect of eight hours of spiritual thoughts. "
"The third oracle, every week, go to the Shrine of Mirrors to repent and purify your body. "
The three oracles had three completely different effects.
Spiritual thoughts could be understood as enlightenment. As long as you could obtain the effect of spiritual thoughts, your power of understanding would increase, and you would have a greater chance of receiving inspiration for any tasks that relied on your power of understanding.
Spiritual thoughts meant peace of mind.
。 It meant that you could focus more on your training without being disturbed by external factors.
Purification meant that you could purify your polymerization energy. It would expel all the impurities that accumulated in your body.
None of the three effects were particularly powerful. However, as long as you followed the rules every day and every week, you could obtain all three effects in a very short time. It was actually quite worth it.
Although the effects were small, they would last for a long time. A person who lived in Bu Luo Royal City and enjoyed the blessing of the Oracle compared to a person who didn't live in Bu Luo Royal City. The difference might not be obvious in a month or two, but after a year or two, the difference would gradually become obvious.
Small benefits like these could never be underestimated. Many grains of sand could make a tower, and many people could make a hairy coat. That was how the gap between people would slowly widen.
"From the sound of it, it sounds pretty good? Angor muttered to himself.
Laplace continued, "From what I can see, the three oracles are not bad. However, praying to God every day and every week was like a deepening thought stamp. It would slowly make you more dependent on Bu Luo Royal City and more devout to the Divine Court. You won't notice it right away, but as time goes by, the changes will be visible to the naked eye. "
As Laplace spoke, he pointed to the group of clergymen dressed in robes on the display stage.
"Just look at them. They might have been ordinary citizens of Bu Luo's royal city, but after years of prayers and years of repentance, they've already seen Lady Mirror as a supreme god. She's exceeded their expectations and became their only faith. "
"So, in my opinion, the three oracles are not that different from the six prohibitions. The prohibitions regulate your behavior, while the oracles shackle your faith. "
Angor looked at where Laplace was pointing. The clerics on the stage all looked very serious. Their eyes were shining brightly, and they seemed to be in high spirits. However, they didn't look like ordinary people. They had a bit of fanaticism in them.
In particular, every time the speaker talked about "God", the fanaticism in their eyes would deepen.
Clearly, they had begun to walk down the path of fanaticism. Angor frowned when he saw this. He didn't mind praying every day or every week for the sake of "benefits".
But if such small benefits could make them believe in God, he didn't think it was necessary to pursue them.
"If I keep following the oracles, I'll definitely become a fanatic? "
Laplace didn't say anything. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but that someone else spoke first.
"Not necessarily. If you're strong enough and have enough spirit resistance, you won't necessarily become a fanatic. But if you're weak and easily swayed, you'll probably become a fanatic. " It was Luigi, who lived in Bu Luo City all year round.
The speaker on the stage had finished explaining the 18 laws, and the citizens of Bu Luo City were already preparing to leave. Seeing that there were no more rules to follow, Luigi began to think about Angor. "Even if you're weak, you won't necessarily become a fanatic as long as you have a strong will." Luigi stole a glance at Laplace out of the corner of his eye. "Anyway, I think Laplace is being a little too vigilant in this matter. "
Laplace looked down and did not pay any attention to Luigi's silent criticism. He only said calmly, "You can't just look at the surface when looking at things. "
Luigi pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
"What do you mean?" Angor hesitated. Luigi shrugged. "What she means is that even if they don't become fanatics, years of prayer will eventually subtly change their beliefs." "
Even if you don't become a fanatic, becoming a regular fanatic is still a change.
Even if you don't become a regular fanatic, at least you won't reject the "god" of Bu Luo City. Isn't that a change?
In short, Laplace believed that changing one's beliefs, even if it was only a slight change, was still a change.
But Luigi had a different opinion. "I admit that many people who participated in the oracles no longer feel like the" god "of Bu Luo City.
"Yes, I do. But I don't think it's a big deal. After all, this "god" is Lady Mirror. "
Luigi wouldn't mind if it was some evil god or demon god related to the Abyss Plane. But he knew that the highest level of authority in Bu Luo City was the "Lady Mirror".
Lady Mirror was neither an evil god nor a demon god. She wasn't even a god. In the Sun Mirror Region, she belonged to the Order Faction.
Wasn't it normal for such an existence to have a favorable impression of her and not reject her?
"Do you agree with Luigi?" Laplace didn't refute Luigi's words right away. Instead, he looked at Angor and asked, "Do you agree with Luigi? "Alright.
Angor considered carefully. "I thought the" oracle "of Bu Luo City was trying to use Lady Mirror's name to stir up trouble. But if it's only to this extent, I won't reject it if it doesn't bring shame to Lady Mirror. "Alright.
Angor knew Lady Mirror. Apart from being obsessed with handsome men, Lady Mirror didn't have any other problems. Even if she did become a religion, she wouldn't bring bad ideas to her followers.
Laplace said indifferently, "You said before that the Mirror Maiden is just a symbol in Unfallen Royal City. She's a servant of Bu Luo City, just an excuse for the theocracy. "Alright.
"In other words, the symbol is the most important thing. But who it represents isn't that important. "Alright.
"If Lady Mirror really comes to Bu Luo City from the material realm, do you think the theocracy led by Red Mirror will allow her to become a god? "Alright.
"They won't. I'm sure you have the same answer. " "Since Lady Mirror's symbol isn't that important, do you think it's possible for the symbol to be replaced? "
Laplace paused for a moment, and a barely noticeable light flashed in his heterochromatic eyes. "It should be noted that, although Lady Mirror is very famous in the White Sun Mirror Region, few people have actually seen her. "Yes.
Since no one had really seen her face, wouldn't it be easy for Red Mirror to find someone to replace her?
Laplace also remembered that Priest Red Mirror once held a "God Bestowment" show a thousand years ago. The will of a god descended upon him from the distant void and used the same tone as "Lady Mirror" to brainwash others.
This meant that the Red Mirror Priest himself could use all kinds of excuses to replace Lady Mirror's position without even needing to change the god's symbol.
"In this kind of situation, do you still think that the change in the signal is not a problem? In this kind of situation, do you still believe that it was Jiu who persuaded you? Laplace looked at Angor.
This time, he didn't say anything. He considered the possibility of "switching gods". However, he thought that Priest Red Mirror would do it after Lady Mirror entered the Sun Mirror Region. But he didn't consider that Priest Red Mirror could still find a way to switch Lady Mirror's faith.
"There's something else you need to pay attention to." "Yes.
Just like how the wizarding world accepts equivalent exchange, the Sun Mirror Region has a similar idea. " "Everything is fair," Laplace said. "You have to give what you get." "Yes.
"It's the same for the Oracle. You've gained benefits, but what did you pay in return? "Yes."
Laplace left such a question, but she did not continue to answer. Instead, she talked about something else. "Once, the Red Mirror priest explained this matter to the outside world. The prohibition and the oracle are two sides of the same coin. "Yes."
In other words, the six prohibitions were the price to pay for the three oracles. Because of this, you won't have to pay the price for gaining the three oracles.
But was that really the case?
Laplace knew that the six prohibitions came from the Gloomy Mirror Region.
But he didn't know where the three oracles came from. The prohibitions and the oracles were similar, but did they really work together?
Laplace felt that something was wrong here. If the prohibitions weren't the price to pay for the oracles, then what was the price to pay for the oracles? When you enjoy the benefits of the Oracle, are you paying with your own loyalty?
Laplace didn't know how to answer all of these questions. He should be on high alert for all unknown risks.
But for the sake of the oracles' benefits?
He really shouldn't have taken such an unknown risk for profit.
After hearing Laplace's words, Angor's mind was already on Laplace's side. Luigi, on the other hand, didn't quite agree.
After all, Luigi often went to Bu Luo City. Even though he didn't covet the small benefits of the three Oracles, many of his friends had experienced this kind of good influence.
Luigi didn't see any change in his friend after he completed the ritual. At most, he didn't reject the "Lady Mirror" anymore. In Luigi's opinion, this wasn't a big deal at all. For this reason, Luigi believed that he had a better say than Laplace and Angor who never visited Neon City.
Laplace didn't mind. Everyone had their own opinions. Even if Luigi was her real body, he still had his own independent personality. It was normal for him to see things from a different perspective.
As long as Luigi didn't get involved with the oracles, it didn't matter.
