To Four Thousand Years Later

v5 Chapter 52: myth is dead

Forty-two followed Maynard along Karl Johan Avenue, heading east. Compared with Iwate Prefecture, the cultural atmosphere here is closer to Xingzhou, but more advanced. But the flow of people is much lower, and the environment is much quieter.

There are no rock bands playing on the street, nor virtual idols projected on the side of the road. On the square billboards that appear every few meters along the street, there are bright and exaggerated advertising animations, but the sound is turned down to a very low level, and the projection screens of the buildings are also in the style of mimes. . The magnificent man-made scenery is enough to bear the flow of people in several tourist cities. In order to give tourists a good impression, these tourist cities are implementing silence laws.

The so-called "silence decree" is to regard the sound itself as an entity. Therefore, in a public environment without private ownership, the act of broadcasting sound to the public for profit is also regarded as infringement and illegal profit-making. For example, the performances of bands or wandering artists on the streets and squares, such as the use of projectors by artists to interact with fans, and the advertisements and promotions launched by major companies are all illegal, and they have to pay a sum of money Not a small fine. Regardless of whether it is a commercial performance, it can only be carried out in places that meet the regulations. This makes the whole street clean and quiet, only the laughter and whispers of tourists, and the melodious sound of the piano that continues to sound on the rotating sculpture in the center of the square.

"where are we going?

Appreciating the surrounding scenery, Forty-Two casually asked Maynard. Maynard smiled and made a joke: "If it is my personal recommendation, then I hope you can go to the Nawei National Opera House if you are free. I think it has the best words in the whole Northland" that kind of Or antiques, you are rare, but I am really not too rare," Forty-two said calmly, in the past few periods of my life, I have already witnessed the birth, development and formation of these literary arts. Of course, this is a lie In those days he was so busy that he didn't have time to go to the opera. In the common people's imagination, the concept of Solomon or Charles, especially King Charles, is usually an all-rounder, talkative, personable Young people. He should have a very good and high-end Dujiao circle, so as to carry out the talent reserve he needs.

But they would not think that most of the things invented and discovered by "Charles' friends", "Charles' teachers" and "Charles' scientists" recorded in history are actually the results of Charles himself . It's just that in order not to form a personality cult, he even formed a solidified concept. Only then did the part of the truth...be replaced with a less shocking and more reasonable "truth". Even in this era, people's concepts have been relatively perfect, and he has no idea of ​​defending himself in the past. As early as hundreds of years ago. The "King Solomon Myth" that people once believed in has been shattered.

At the end of Leonardo's period, an archaeologist named Harold Aiken, who is also the president of the Coptic Archaeological Association, dug four or five stone slabs of King Solomon under the ruins of the ancient Egyptian city.

The above record is not the same as the truth in history: in historical texts, it is said that King Solomon had wisdom beyond the gods. In order to seek his help, the kings of other countries sent convoys carrying gold and jewels to ask him for help. Even the gods of other countries will disguise themselves as human beings and come to his temple to seek the guidance of wisdom and evil. On the slate, it is claimed that King Solomon was just eager to learn—those convoys from other countries are "buying wisdom" and "selling wisdom and evil". Recorded on the slate. King Solomon of Zhizhou excavated a golden mountain, but he did not use this golden mountain to decorate his temple, but disassembled it and sold it to other countries. He promised that if the wise men of other countries could stump him or teach him Give him a new piece of knowledge, and he will be given a cart of gold and jewelry. So other kings sent their proudest wise men to earn gold. The gods also decided to embarrass him because of his arrogance. Although this version of the story is somewhat inconsistent with the legends and records circulated in other countries, people are more willing to believe this story. Because it's "more real" and more dramatic. King Solomon suddenly changed from an omniscient and omnipotent **** of wisdom to a mortal king who was somewhat arrogant, but very smart and studious. In the past few hundred years, based on this version of archaeological discoveries, many mortal stories about "the wise man stumped King Solomon" appeared out of thin air. There are similar animation and movie themes... Harold Aiken is right. his archaeological research. Let the image of "Wisdom King Solomon" lose the last bit of divinity, and directly lead to the destruction of Solomon's Theocracy... For Solomon himself, and for Leonardo at that time. He was pleased with the situation. The demon gods who buried the stone slab naturally knew that this day would eventually come. But they also just kept silent. Watching the myth go away.

That's where the myth ends, and it couldn't be better. After the myth ends, is the history that belongs to mankind. Choked by Forty-Two, Maynard just smiled shyly. Then he became a little serious, "Okay, no kidding... Do you have any arrangements, my lord? Or some travel plan."

"It's up to you, Maynard."

Forty-two shrugged his shoulders: "Even if you ask me to go shopping, I can find some useful things from it. Anyone who walks, there must be traces. As long as people live in society, let's go stand."

Maynard pondered for a while and replied; "The group of guys who sympathize with out-of-control bionics often appear at Oslo Central Station.

Why a station? It's too noisy to stay here for long. Then there are the android security guards who are armed all over the place...there are forty-two questions about their behavior pattern in trying to spread their ideas and absorb other sympathizers, Maynard explained: "Because they have no hope of being able to Humans spread their horrible thoughts. After all, hundreds of years ago, the Bs you did after my death have hit them well. And made people vigilant.

"I'm very satisfied that they can remember these lessons.

Forty-two sighed: "I have witnessed with my own eyes that the mountains disappear, the rivers dry up, the plains become valleys, and the wastelands become manors. But in my several lifes, only human beings keep repeating the same thing. He shook his head and dispersed Expressing his nostalgia for the previous life and friends, as well as a little sadness that he would never go back to the past, he turned to say: "Since they don't intend to spread this trend of thought to human beings, what can they do when they gather at the station?" what? Calling androids to rebel against humans? "

"Don't tell me, they really did."

Maynard shrugged and said humorously.

Forty-two looked at him in surprise: "Is this useful? Or is it that they have learned the means to break through the restraints of the bionic man's program?" Maynard shook his head and denied, "They don't care about the bionic man. What can't be done is that when they call the androids to independence, their masters are right there.

He said deeply: "Bionic people can't understand, but they can hear and understand.

...bad divisiveness.

"Clumsy, but useful. Better than breaking the law, my lord."

Maynard sighed: "The Central Station is ahead. Please see for yourself.
