Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 110 Death Is the Only Miracle

"Ah?" Seeing the last note, Ian was a little confused, "It shouldn't be, isn't there a true god in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire? Why can you learn magic from different gods?"

Annie didn't answer this question. Perhaps in her AI logic, this question has nothing to do with the setting.

After thinking about it, Ian changed the way of asking questions.

"Players can learn the magic of different gods through system props, is it because the power of the system offsets the conflict between these legal systems?"

"No." Annie answered this time.

"No?" Ian frowned, "So, is there a true god in this world?"

"The influence of gods will be reflected in all aspects of this world, but they will never directly participate in human struggles. As for whether gods exist or not, this is an unknown."

"You are the system AI! How can you not know? Wait." Ian suddenly remembered that Anne's explanation is very similar to the original words of the original author, Mr. Martin!When the host asked Martin in an interview whether there were gods in the world of ice and fire, he said he didn't know either.
So. Ian was lost in thought.

Although Annie didn't give a definite answer but quoted the original author's words to prevaricate this question, but from 'players can learn magic from different gods at the same time' and 'it's not the power of the system that offsets the conflicts between different legal systems' From two points of view, there is a high probability that the true god does not exist.

Those guys called 'gods' are only the controllers or the strongest of these forces, not the creators.

Immediately afterwards, Ian thought of a Braavos proverb: "Death is the only miracle, the rest is magic."

For a time he thought it was because the Braavosi believed mainly in the God of Many Faces who represented death, making up the words to belittle other gods.

But looking at it from another angle, does this mean that the Braavosi who said these words found something?
Braavos was founded by slaves who fled Valyria. The escaped slaves came from many different places and had many different beliefs.

They include the Andals, the Summer Isles, the Ghiscari, the Naath, the Iban, the Sarnor and the debtor and criminal Valyrians
Almost every faith in the world gathers in Braavos, and Braavos has temples to almost every god.

So who in the world is more qualified to judge these gods than the original Braavos?
If the Braavosians classify all miracles except death as magic, does that mean that all the gods of the world of ice and fire are just humans with powerful magic or can be called false gods? ?

Thinking of this, Ian suddenly figured out many things, such as the destruction of the Kingdom of Dawn and Valyria's Freedom Fortress.

These two countries have very similar situations. They were invincible all over the world during their heyday. At one time, all nations came to court, and then they perished inexplicably due to natural disasters.

It was as if the gods were afraid of the greatness of human beings, and they shot to destroy them.

If the gods are real gods, why would they be afraid of the great civilization created by human beings?
But if they are false gods, these things are explained.

Thinking of this, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although those guys are false gods, they are basically the same as true gods for Ian now, who have the power to destroy the Kingdom of Dawn or Valyria's Freedom Fortress.

But it was impossible for Ian to touch them now.

As long as they are not true gods, Ian doesn't have to worry about being bound by the "gods" of the department when he is learning magic. This is definitely a huge piece of good news.

Without further entanglement, Ian began to study the magic provided by the scroll.

The first is the old god system, two selection boxes popped up on the interface.

【Shapechanger: Gain the ability to invade the consciousness of animals or other people and control their behavior】

[Green Prophet: The ability to obtain the green dream (prophetic dream), enter the weirwood and gain its vision, and explore the past requires a Master of Transformation skill, which is currently unavailable]

There can only be one skinchanger out of a thousand people, and only one green prophet out of a thousand skinchangers. To become a "green prophet" through a scroll, you need to fill up the ability of the skinchanger as a prerequisite. It worked.

In the 'prison' of Illyrio's mansion, if he could transform some mice, cats, or birds, he would definitely be able to get a lot of useful information.

Ian had already decided in his heart to spend one of the scrolls on [Shapechanger], but he still clicked to return to the previous level.

Since you can read all the options after using the scroll, don't look at it for nothing.

The second is the magic of the seven gods system.
Excuse me?

Did I hear you right?The seven gods system also has magic?

Even when Ian firmly believed that the gods of the world of ice and fire were true gods, he knew that the seven gods of the Andals were outright false gods, not to mention false gods. They were nothing more than tools fabricated by humans to maintain their rule .

After all, this religion is clearly in a fantasy world, but it has never done any miracles (even if they are fake).
They said that their iron-making process was taught to them by the "blacksmith" Tuomeng among the Seven Gods. This is quite like a joke. People are still smelting iron, if the 'blacksmith' is a god, there is no reason why the craftsmanship is inferior to humans.
Sure enough, when Ian clicked on the Seven Gods system, the selection box that popped up looked like this:
[Seven Gods classics and the art of incitement: By upgrading this skill, you can gradually acquire all the classics of the Seven Gods sect, explanations of doctrine, missionary letters of archbishops/saints, and memories of diaries]

The art of cultivating a magic stick?You call this stuff magic?but
This thing sounds inexplicably practical! Ian was a little dumbfounded.

The next Drowned God system can't be opened, but Ian himself is not very interested.

The Drowned God believed by the Ironborn is believed to be a sea creature called 'Deep One'. This creature has indeed experienced a very glorious period, but now it's not worth mentioning.

Then there is the Lord of Light, the most awesome god in the world of ice and fire.

His red-robed priest, Melisandre, once used shadow magic to kill Renly, and cursed three "false kings" with the "King's Blood" (Jon Snow was also resurrected in the TV series).

His red-robed monk, Thoros of Myr, revived Beric Dondarrion, the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners several times through prayers, and finally resurrected Caitlin, Lady Stoneheart, who died in the Scarlet Wedding Tully.
