Chapter 457 - 457 458 The Risk of Being Watched by the Gods
?Chapter 457: Chapter 458: The Risk of Being Watched by the Gods Chapter 457: Chapter 458: The Risk of Being Watched by the Gods According to Morris, the criteria for the blessings bestowed by the God of Wisdom… seemed like a very subtle thing.
“In most people’s minds, the Believers of the God of Wisdom must be scholars of extensive knowledge or quirky geniuses with amazing talent in a certain field—this perception, of course, is not wrong, given that most Believers of the God of Wisdom do indeed need to meet the two conditions of ‘erudition’ and ‘intelligence’. However, nothing is absolute.”
Morris was sitting on a chair near the captain’s quarters, seriously explaining while ignoring the subtle expressions of Sherry beside him.
“Firstly, to be favored by the God of Wisdom does not necessarily require a high level of knowledge, like A-Dog—the dog is a quick learner, but compared to the ‘regular Believers’ who have truly passed the church’s three rounds of exams, its academic level is obviously insufficient, yet it still attracted the gaze of Rahm. In other City-States, there are also many Believers and even some saints who later became famous for receiving revelations before acquiring profound knowledge.
“The most notable example would be the saint ‘Korflod’ over two hundred years ago. This distinguished scholar received his revelation at the age of sixteen when he was a dockworker who couldn’t even read—at that point, after the revelation, he finally got the opportunity to delve into the knowledge in books.
“And there are examples that are completely the opposite; in Moco City-State, there was once a highly esteemed scholar who spent his entire life hoping to gain the favor of the God of Wisdom. He passed almost all the exams at the Academy of Truth but never saw the glory of Rahm before he passed away—afterward, the Academy posthumously conferred the title of saint upon the scholar, and similar cases… are not just one.”
Duncan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “It sounds like… the ‘admission standards’ of the God of Wisdom are somewhat whimsical?”
“It’s not whimsical, after all, what I just mentioned are only ‘rare cases’,” Morris shook his head, “It can only be said that gods are so unfathomable, the same goes for the four true gods. They have their own standards for measuring the world, yet mortals have merely managed to glean a few patterns over thousands of years.”
