I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 164 The Secrets Among the Gods
He's definitely an idiot; I wonder where he came from.
Ron secretly deduced what had happened.

Being a Stardust investigator is undoubtedly a dangerous job, often involving dealing with strange and unusual things.

The woman before us most likely encountered this god of wisdom—no, the god of mental disability—somewhere by chance, and was ultimately completely manipulated by him to come to the capital in search of someone with great wisdom.

Unfortunately, her goal was wrong from the start.

"Since you are the god of wisdom, why did you go to see Olivia?"

Is there any necessary connection between the two?
Ron was very puzzled.

"Naturally, it's to persuade her to a win-win situation. She has power, and I have wisdom, so that we can demonstrate the authority of the gods."

Ms. Chestnut spoke with an air of seriousness, and seemed to be somewhat excited.

Yes, two negatives make a positive, I understand.
With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, the blond boy held a half-believing, half-doubting attitude towards this reason.

However, seeing that the "god of wisdom" did not resist, he raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and asked a crucial question.

"Where are you from?"

Ron himself had some guesses about this, and it was most likely that it came from deep within, just like "Mr. Squint".

But the answer given by the god of wisdom in the next moment made his eyelids twitch wildly.

“I have broken free from the body of the Enlightened God. Even if He were to rise again, He could no longer imprison us. This is a rebellion of wisdom!”

?

Upon hearing this, the blond boy stood there stunned.

Although he had never been particularly fond of any kind of deity, Ron still maintained basic respect and courtesy in this world where gods actually existed.

Because the power of the gods means that believers don't need to engage in verbal battles.

Now, the Enlightenment God, who has existed in the Kingdom of Oran for countless years and whose origins even the Stardust Society has no records of, has quietly split and died.

Ron’s first thought was that this matter was inextricably linked to the Vatican.

However, he immediately realized his mistake: no matter how strong Cyrus VII was, he had no power to threaten the gods.

That's not right. According to records, six years ago, the Enlightened God performed a miracle that completely ended the "fall of the old capital." Could this part of history have been distorted?

Still, that's not right. I possess the blessing of the Holy Light God, and I was able to unleash a sword strike that transcended the limitations of time, completely sealing Stevie's fate in the "present." There's no reason why the Enlightened God couldn't do the same.

In other words, the history of divine intervention must be true, but why didn't He just kill Stevieking? Perhaps it was because He wasn't in good condition?
Thinking of this, Ron took a deep breath and tried to continue asking questions with a calm expression.

But at this moment, his mind was in disarray, and his overactive imagination led him to come up with many unrelated guesses.

It wasn't until quite a while later that Ron calmed down and asked in a normal tone:
"What do you mean by saying that the Enlightened God has been resurrected again?"

He emphasized the word "again".

"It seems you didn't know."

Upon seeing this, Ms. Chestnut Hair revealed her intellectual and dignified smile again, just like a teacher looking at a careless student.

"Foolish one, if you apologize to me and promise never to use that kind of spell on me again,..."
"And only if I have respect for wisdom will I consider telling you!!!"

A ray of holy light reappeared, and the "God of Wisdom," who had just straightened up, twisted and screamed as he rolled around on the ground again.

"I'll tell you everything, just stop!"

You might as well change your name to God of Cheap Bones.

Ron rolled his eyes inwardly, really not knowing how to evaluate this guy who called himself a god.

"Haha. You actually made Wisdom make such lewd panting sounds, I—" "Enough nonsense!"

"Ok."

Ms. Chestnut pondered for a moment, organizing her thoughts.

"Because the time was approaching, the Enlightened God died."

The "God of Wisdom" paused, then, seeing Ron's increasingly hostile gaze, quickly added:

"He died once more than a thousand years ago, but with his superior 'thinking' and unparalleled 'wisdom,' he exploited the loophole of 'death' once again."

"This is not a true resurrection, but merely prevents His body from splitting apart."

At this point, Ms. Chestnut's voice sounded slightly downcast.

It died more than a thousand years ago and has been living in a semi-dead state ever since.
Ron had a thought in mind, but didn't express any opinion.

For him, the matter was surprising enough, but that was all.

However, the only thing that worried him was what the death of the god meant.
A new disaster?
Or perhaps a new era is dawning?
Both of these factors could cause changes to his newly settled job, or even lead to him not receiving his salary.

'No way, the Mistress of Compassion and the Holy Light God are both alive and well, showing no signs of anything amiss.'

The former was something he had witnessed firsthand. If it weren't for the high wall separating the inner world from reality, Ron suspected that he would have been drained of all his magic.

But the latter.
The blond boy's breathing suddenly became heavy. He instinctively wanted to confirm the situation with the Holy Light element, but only received the ambiguous reply, "I don't know."

"Why was it the Enlightenment God who died? More than a thousand years ago, He encountered a powerful evil god, or perhaps an enemy?"

He pressed for more information, his tone becoming somewhat hurried.

Unexpectedly, the "God of Wisdom" simply shrugged and said:

"Isn't it common sense that thought ceases before a person dies?"

"When thought ceases to exist, neither the wisdom nor the spirituality that it is based on will remain."

What kind of answer is that?
Ron had reservations about whether the Enlightened One was dead or not, and besides, it wasn't something a mere investigator like him could handle.

Even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up.

At that moment, the blond boy's ears twitched slightly as he heard a faint commotion.

Those were gasps of surprise from the students of the academy, and roars and shouts from Olivia's fan club.

With the guild leader here, Glenshire Tower will be at peace!

The commotion in the library did not escape the Stardust Society's notice, and in the blink of an eye, Ron saw a reliable black-haired figure flash to his side.

The moment Olivia stopped, she immediately used detection magic to scan the entire library.

After discovering that no one was dead, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems Ron has changed his style quite a bit this time.
She couldn't help but feel happy about her success in educating others.

What kind of logic is it for a minor to leave behind a bunch of corpses after every mission?

Suddenly, the black-haired woman felt her sleeve being gently tugged.
Olivia turned her head and saw Ron Griffith with a somber expression.

"President, something terrible has happened! The Enlightened God is dead!"
