Throne of Magical Arcana

An Hughes subconsciously glanced at Lucien, showing a hint of alertness in his expression. Why should such an important matter be discussed in front of Leviathan, who has just become the seventh disciple of the "Secret Prayer Society", and he is not worried that he is a spy. Do you want to sneak in and help the evil god Anantansi find the trace of the great "God of Fire and Destruction"? At least one year's trial period has to be passed, and after confirming that he has no problems, he is really allowed to participate in the discussion of core affairs.

Under the dual high-pressure control of "Belitan City", and under the shock of the powerful strength of the high priest of the temple and the blood heroes, the members of the "Secret Prayer Society" are very careful, because they have died accidentally, and even returned to the Secret Prayer Society. caused serious losses.

"Why are you suddenly discussing this issue? I remember that the last 'preaching' plan was finalized not long ago?" An Hughes looked solemnly at Jacob, the leader of the disciples.

Jacob held down the tiny gray rose pattern on the corner of his clothes, and said in a low voice, "This is an order from 'Crown' himself. We are quietly waiting for his arrival."

"Crown", the leader of the Secret Prayer Society, the son of the god of fire and destruction, also claimed to be his incarnation, father and son two in one, and Lucien and other disciples called him "the preceptor", the person who spread the way of precepts .

Only then did Anhuis ease his expression, and sat on a silver seat with flame patterns intertwined into the "five" in Baalir. Lucien also followed the example of other disciples looking at him or being wary or indifferent. With Hughes' appearance, he walked to the silver chair of "Seven" unhurriedly, as comfortable as at home.

"Leviathan, I heard from Norton that you are born with incomparable strength and can compete with the worst god-blood man, right?" Jacob's face was covered with messy white beards, making it impossible to see his true expression.

The other disciples stared at the dark red round table, as if they didn't hear Jacob's question, nor did they expect Lucien's answer. Although this level of Hercules is rare among human beings, it is not without precedent. It is said that they can compete with the worst god-blood man, and it only refers to strength. Once the god-blood man uses the "extraordinary power" from the blood , Casting magical spells and manipulating natural changes, the Hercules is no different from ordinary people, and they will also die quickly.

Lucien's appearance at this time was an ordinary black-haired and black-eyed man, no different from the average Baelir, and replied with a smile: "I have never fought against the blood gods, so I don't know the specific difference, but I can Against normal monsters."

At the beginning, Lucien said that the reason for his injury was that he encountered a terrifying monster in the wild, and was able to escape by relying on his natural divine power. Norton, who could only cast spells, was indeed surprised by the power from the knight. This may be because he recommended Lucien to be a One of the reasons for the seventh disciple.

Jacob straightened his back, his eyes and tone remained unchanged: "Then your future 'spiritual seed' can be biased towards this aspect, the power to break down city walls, the skin to defend against swords and spears, and very fast speed, Just like before the evil god Anatans killed his father."

Anantanth, the Lord of War, is the son of the sky god in the creation myth of the Angonoma Empire. He is half-god, half-human, and powerful. No matter how sharp a knife or sword is cut on his body, it will leave white scratches at most. . After he killed the nine giant monsters that caused disaster to the empire, he was reprimanded by the god of the sky in the residence of the gods, so he violently rebelled, slaughtered the father god, and ascended the position of the main god of the Angenoma pantheon .

"But before that, you need to use your strength to make enough dedication to the great 'Lord of Flame and Destruction'." Before Lucien could answer, Jacob continued, as he encouraged every secret prayer Like the important members—the important members who have not yet obtained the "spiritual seed" to become disciples.

Suddenly, the secret hall was filled with a fiery and destructive atmosphere, as if a fire had descended.

Jacob stood up first, pressed his chest and bowed his head: "Welcome to the 'Crown'."

The rest of the disciples also saluted one by one, while Lucien evaluated the general level of the aura. If "Crown" released the aura unreservedly to deter the "Letters of Precepts", then his strength should be at level seven, However, this breath is quite strange, it is neither the suppression of mental power, nor the coercion of strong will, nor the coercion of divine grandeur, but like a "hybrid" with a little combination of the three, without any outstanding features.

"False gods, descending incarnations, sons of gods, people are really getting more and more interested."

Lucien's incorporation into the Secret Prayer Society was mainly for information and to facilitate escape from semi-dangerous situations. The research was only a side purpose, but as the number of things he learned and saw increased, the instinctive desire of the arcanist became stronger and he took the initiative to participate The idea of ​​​​the secret prayer meeting, "If he is really the only incarnation of the god of fire and destruction, then the strength of this false god should be eighth, and the master of war who can make him escape seems to be not yet at the legendary level , belonging to the pinnacle of the ninth-level golden knight."

Although in the early stage of the Dawn War, the remaining magicians were killed by the Truth God and ran around, and they didn't know the situation of the false gods, but there was an existence like Vicente, the Lord of the Dead, and the council was later obtained from the Southern Church. A lot of information about false gods.

Even though Lucien's authority is insufficient and his understanding is limited, he probably knows that a false god can separate his own power to create an incarnation or descend directly on the son of God who has his blood. The number of avatars is at most two. If you want to create more, you can only lower the strength of the avatar.

Since the Secret Prayer Society claims to be the current main sect of the "God of Fire and Destruction", Lucien speculates that the only incarnation of the Son of God that Afando uses to control this secret sect should belong to the strongest type.

A young and handsome black-haired man came out from the secret place of the stone hall. He was wearing a large white robe and an olive wreath on his head. His exposed skin seemed to have a layer of illusory flames flowing at any time, and he was about to knot. The muscles are strong and beautiful.

"Melee combat should be very strong, with some spell-like abilities, closer to a knight, no, equivalent to a powerful devil in hell." Lucien roughly judged from what he showed.

"Crown" El looked around the seven disciples, sat on the golden throne, and then pressed down with his right hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"Our country is invaded by evil gods, our 'children' are murdered by pagans, and our companions are getting less and less, but we still remember our blood, our Father God, still longing for His holy mountain residence, Therefore, our successors continue to flow, and pious young people continue to add them, Leviathan, I hope you can become a strong man guarding the gate of the holy mountain, and I hope you can spread the majesty of the Father to other Baelites heart."

On behalf of the "God of Fire and Destruction", El recognized the status of Lucien's seventh disciple. After all, the Erdor Peninsula was firmly controlled by the Angnomori, and it was becoming more and more difficult to obtain talents.

After Lucien finished his salute and thanked him, El looked at the seven disciples below and said, "I've called you today to discuss our future path. You should have noticed that there are fewer and fewer rebellious activities on the peninsula, and you are willing to believe in the father. There are fewer and fewer Baelites in God, so I wonder if you have any thoughts and opinions?"

"They have forgotten the majesty of the gods and are no longer afraid of flames and destruction. They must remember the fear engraved in their souls and the coming flames to purify the world, so that they can fight for the great Afando. said Anhuis sternly.

Seeing that the other disciples nodded in agreement with Anhuis, Lucien shook his head slightly. This secret prayer seems to be still in the most primitive stage of relying on fear to preach, rather than mixing the gift of salvation, good yearning, and death. Concepts such as post-judgment and punishment for destroying the world, and the mature religious model centered on redemption, intimidation, good virtues, and spiritual sustenance, are no longer suitable for the current situation. If this continues, believers will only become rarer. People are completely destroyed.

There seemed to be flames jumping in El's eyes, and he whispered: "It is our responsibility to promote the greatness of God the Father, but I think the methods and means of preaching should be changed."

Uh, Lucien and the other disciples all looked at El, but the meaning of doubt in their eyes was completely different. He also thought of changing the current method of preaching?

El's voice was full of enthusiasm: "At present, the children and subjects of the Father God are full of pain under the rule of the pagans. If we use fear to drive them, we will definitely not be able to enter their hearts. What they need is salvation. , what is needed is redemption from this pain, so tell them that death is not to be feared, but that returning to the holy mountain abode of God the Father will give them eternal peace and happiness, and that their sacrifice will Children establish a holy country on earth, keeping war, killing, fear, hatred and other negative things away, and only such a holy country can escape the future flame purification."

"Of course, those who betray God the Father will be punished. After a fair trial, they will be sent to the kingdom of the dead to suffer unspeakable pain."

"The brilliance of God the Father is not limited to the Baalir people. He is merciful and merciful, and can accommodate any foreign race who is willing to believe in Him."

Listening to El's words, Lucien was a little dazed. This is already a fairly mature religious concept, and it has begun to evolve from clan gods and regional gods to abstract and popular gods. The "God of Fire and Destruction" is enlightened after suffering a huge failure?

"However, the great Lord of Flame does not have the priesthood of redemption, peace of mind, and judgment after death." Jacob asked puzzled. This is the view of the gods of the Baalir and Angomars. In their view, all things in nature and life processes are governed by gods. Different gods have different priesthoods and control different things. No one can control everything. Therefore, false gods often form a god system structure with one main and many auxiliary.

The flames in El's eyes really lit up: "Father God created other gods, which caused his divinity to decrease, but in this war, other gods not only failed to help him, but turned their backs on him, causing him to be seriously injured and defeated , Therefore, he decided to conquer other gods first, strip them of their divinity, strengthen his own strength, and return to the state when he created everything in the first place, so that he can completely defeat the evil god Anatans."

This provides an excuse for why Afando, the "God of Fire and Destruction" who created the world in Baalir's mythology, lost, and also explains the future direction, which is to unify the interior first.

"Yes, those gods who have turned their backs on the God of Fire are still splitting the Baalir people, respected 'Crown', who is our first target?" Anhuis agreed very much, and it seems that other gods are not less affected. Believer's anger.

Er said coldly: "Moon God Asin."

Luna... Lucien suddenly felt that things were a little weird.

At this time, El suddenly stood up: "Father God made such a decision because he benefited from a philosopher from the eastern kingdom."

He turned around and said, "Mr. Francis, please tell us what we should do?"

Francis? Lucien frowned slightly, and saw a man with black hair and black eyes coming out of the place where El came out just now. He is slender, with a long sword on his back, a soft face, and a smile that seems to be always on the corner of his mouth. He is wearing a large white robe similar to El.
