Chapter 427: Anything that bears a curse will eventually be transformed into an apostle

Azeroth Civilization: Beginning Great Pyramid Text Volume Chapter 427 Everything that bears a curse will eventually be transformed into an apostle. Everyone attaches great importance to the curse itself, but they all feel a little sensational about William's words.

"Dean William, it's just a story. Is it so serious?"

Niebuhr raised his doubts, and William retorted solemnly.

"Minister Niebuhr, you have to know how important 'meaning' is to a humanoid intelligent race like us.

We are not machines, so we need meaning to rationalize any of our actions. Stories are the best packaging for meaning.

The connotation and meaning of a good story will have a subtle influence on its audience. And for those who are particularly invested in reading the story and are keen to discover the meaning in it, this effect is even greater!

Of course, I also know that most people just want to entertain and relax when watching stories. There are also people like everyone here who have been dealing with major practical issues for a long time and are not interested in stories.

Such people don't like stories because they have found meaning that can rationalize their behavior. This is called belief in a big way, and it is a spiritual pillar in a small way.

People who can do this, they all have their own stories, or they themselves are part of the story.

As for the picture books…

Limited by space, their narrative rhythm is very fast, and there are some big jumps between frames.

There are advantages and disadvantages to doing so. The disadvantage is that it will feel a little thin to people with solidified concepts. The advantage is that it gives people room for imagination and is very attractive to people whose values ​​are still in the stage of establishment.

That's why I said that this is a very harmful story. For people whose values ​​are not yet sound, once they read it deeply, it may lead them astray!

And what annoys me the most is that the narrative mode of this illustrated book coincides with a series of works that our art academy has arranged in recent months. This efficient narrative mode is the result of our internal collective labor.

Who is it in our art academy who privately uses the fruits of our labor in improper places? This is no longer as simple as a simple prank! "

Filled with righteous indignation, William finished a long speech, which made Li De and others realize that he was serious and did not exaggerate.

Li De was silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Dean William, you said just now that this story is likely to lead people who have not yet established their concepts astray? So... what about children?"

William was taken aback by this question.

"Children? Children! Why didn't I think of it earlier! Children have the richest imagination! They also like images and colors more than words! The group that such things are most likely to attract is children!

Lord Protector, who exactly created these things? ! Showing these to kids is downright criminal! "

William spoke emotionally, but then he slumped on the chair and said with a little dejection.

"I really didn't expect that in the past, we thought that we only need to pay attention to the spiritual life of the workers and give them the right guidance, but we ignored the children, so that there are so many vacancies in our jobs."

Li De came to comfort him.

"This is also my negligence in my work. We have experienced several wars in a row just after the period of large-scale construction. We did not consider that there are more and more newborns, and children's education is a new problem we have encountered.

Now I can tell you clearly that these things are related to the recent lurking faceless people, and there are curses in these illustrations. As for the leak of the art academy you mentioned, who do you think will leak the secret? "

Hearing that the illustrated book was related to the curse, William's spirit suddenly became tense. As for the question Li De asked later, William shook his head and said after thinking hard.

"I'm thinking about this too, but I don't have any clue. You know, our management of the cultural field is relatively strict. All cultural workers must accept the belief in the light of civilization. There will be absolutely no problems in this regard. ,unless…"

William's words came to an abrupt end.

Li De is the clearest about the spiritual construction of the light of civilization. However, the light of civilization brings healthy bodies and high spirits to believers, and regularly organizes people to communicate with each other for learning. There is almost no soil for survival on the dark side.

Li De was curious about what William's "unless" was referring to.

"You can say whatever you want, and everyone in this room can keep it secret."

Despite this, William still had some concerns. He glanced at Niebuhr before gritted his teeth and said, so he still added an attribute before speaking.

"What I want to say is just an unfounded conjecture, and I hope it will not affect our relationship with our friendly countries.

There are not only our cultural workers in the art academy, but also the exchange personnel sent by Zandalari. They don't believe in the light of civilization. "

What William was referring to was also a part of the cooperative relationship between the Guardian of the Vast Sea and the Zandalar. The wealthy Zandalari liked the literature and art of the Guardian of the Vast Sea very much, and even sent their personnel to exchange and study. The same Guardian of the Vast Sea would also send priests to Learn the loa beliefs of Zandalar.

After finishing speaking, William noticed that the expressions of Reed and Niebuhr hadn't changed much, so he felt a little relieved. He is just a cultural worker, and he doesn't want to affect high-level diplomatic decisions.

Li De, who understood William's difficulties, said immediately.

"Your guess is indeed reasonable. This is just an analysis of a specific event. Don't worry too much. Niebuhr, would you like to share your opinion?"

Li De also looked at Niebuhr. He noticed that his student had not spoken as if he was thinking about something.

"Ah, teacher, I also think this suspicion is justified, but I suggest that before investigating the Zandalari personnel, we should communicate with Princess Talanji first. After all, she has given us so much help before, and we also Take into account the feelings of some Princess Talanji."

After speaking, Niebuhr smiled and shook his head again.

"Dean William, you are worrying too much. I have always considered issues from our own standpoint. I was thinking about another thing just now. I seem to understand how this curse works."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they motioned Niebuhr to hurry up.

"The key to unlocking this curse is this story. According to what Dean William said, read this story with devotion and agree with the thoughts conveyed in the story, then the spiritual world will be open to this curse, and people who read this illustration will naturally It's cursed."

Niebuhr's words startled William.

"You mean I'm cursed?!"

The others also looked at William curiously, and there was no sign of him being cursed at all.

Niebuhr now explained with a smile.

"Of course Dean William didn't get cursed, just when he was about to get cursed, the curse was blocked by the light of civilization.

Do you still remember that when William just finished reading the illustrations, his expression was briefly confused, and then there was a flash of light in his eyes before his eyes became clear again.

The light of our civilization is blessed by the Guardian Dragon King, enshrining three Loa and a demigod of the wilderness to maintain power, and pursue a belief beyond the original power. Those who believe in Him have absolute faith, confidence, and will How could his strength be easily shaken by a mere curse? "

After Niebuhr finished explaining, everyone nodded in agreement, and Kel'Thuzad suddenly spoke.

"This can also explain why the enemy chooses to attack children. If you don't rely on force and only use mental tricks, it is really difficult for adults in the protection of the vast sea to be manipulated."

Anachronos looked at the golden beetle statue he had brought, and was also opened up for a while.

"It turns out that this is a curse based on the will of faith. No wonder this golden statue also has it. According to its type research, this was originally a golden statue inlaid on the altar of the ancient gods during the prehistoric dark empire period.

It seems that using faith to curse is one of the ways that the ancient gods enslaved life, but today faith has quietly changed into the cloak of this entertainment product. "

The straightforward Jack didn't want to listen to the theory and concepts of the few people here, so he interrupted the communication of the few people.

"So is there a way to figure out how this curse affects people? There are at least hundreds of children under the curse, and we can't delay any longer."

Jack's words awakened everyone, and Kel'Thuzad held his chin and made a suggestion.

"If you want to find out what kind of curse it is, it's best to find someone to be cursed, and it will be clear when the time comes."

Everyone gave Kel'Thuzad a blank look, how could they use such a method? In the end, I still seek the answer from Niebuhr, who knows the curse best.

Niebuhr was also slightly ashamed.

"Actually, what the magister said is indeed an effective method. The early troll clans also liked to use living people when studying curses. Of course, we don't have to do this now. We have a more humane and effective method.

To trigger and guide this curse in the early stage, you still need to trouble Captain William, because you have the special skill of immersively appreciating the story, and at the same time you have the rational thinking of an adult, and you can control the rhythm of triggering the curse.

Of course, you don't have to be afraid, the curse in the illustration book will definitely not hurt you, because I will cast another curse on you.

I have said that you don’t need to be afraid. Curses are divided into harmful and harmless. What I want to release on you is a harmless curse. "

Kel'Thuzad, who was keen on research, stood up and moved over.

"What are you going to do?"

Niebuhr answered his question while doing the preparation work methodically with both hands.

"Curse for death, I will use it to connect Dean William to a wild beast, and that beast will bear all injuries including the curse for Dean William until death."

William was terrified when he heard what he said. Are all the things played by trolls so scary?

The scavenger-eating hyenas who are hated by people are chosen as the beasts to be killed. These guys are cunning and cruel and have no economic value: their fur is rough and ugly, and their flesh is full of parasites. It is perfect to be used as a curse for death.

William started reading again with a little trepidation. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has to say that the quality of these stories is very high.

But it was precisely because of this that William gritted his teeth in hatred. The higher their quality, the greater the harm.

This time, in order to facilitate the introduction of the curse, William specially emptied his brain to fully accept the storyline in the picture book. Sure enough, with William's obsession, the curse in the picture book showed up again.

Unlike the last time the curse was pushed back by the light of civilization's faith, because of the existence of the curse of death, the curse fell directly on the scavengers.

Niebuhr chanted the spell at an accelerated pace, allowing the curse to take effect quickly, proudly allowing people to see its true colors.

"Whoa..."

The curse kicked in, the scavenger let out a wail, and the body began to undergo horrific changes.

Twisted chunks of flesh grew in the middle of its hair, and its head was also wrapped in bloated fleshy tentacles! It's becoming a faceless man!

At this time, William also made a cry, which scared Niebuhr to quickly cut off the curse of death, and imprisoned the terrible curse of the faceless man on the coyote.

Li De'an, who was paying attention the whole time, sat in his original position, and with a flash of silver light he just shook his hands and killed the Faceless Coyote.

After confirming his safety, William gasped heavily, with an expression of shock on his face. For a long time, he recalled the feeling of putting himself into this story just now.

Where is this illustrated story? It is clearly a prayer to swear surrender to the ancient gods!

William was glad that the curse didn't really fall on him, and he whispered a sentence that echoed in his mind when the curse was activated.

"Anything that bears a curse will eventually be transformed into an apostle."
