Throne of Magical Arcana

Augustus put down his right hand that covered his eyes, and said solemnly: "The Lord heard our prayers, and specially bestowed us with divine arts, so that we can spread His glory and proclaim His ways."

"This is the best compliment to our piety!"

As he spoke loudly, the milky white light around him rolled into golden sunlight, rushing in all directions like waves, drowning Harold, Milna and other dwarves.

Harold suddenly felt that his strength had increased again, his emotions became excited, full of desire to fight, and he had no fear of despair, pain, etc.!

This is the feeling of belonging to a real fighter!

This is the fifth-level divine art "War Tide", and it is also the limit that Augustus can achieve at present!

At this time, Augustus’ inner worries and sense of danger completely disappeared. It’s not that the great god of steam can’t bestow divine spells, just because he prefers the mysteries of steam and machinery, so he smiled and said solemnly: “ I have listened to the teachings of the Lord, and I understand that steam and machinery contain the deepest and greatest secrets of the entire world, and if we can master them, we will have power beyond divine arts, just like weapons of the eternal blazing sun."

"The Lord told us that divine arts are only a temporary weapon to protect ourselves at a certain stage in our journey forward, and they are by no means the real thing to survive and proclaim His way. After this stage, we will naturally let go of God. Art, put all our heart and soul into steam and machinery, discover their mysteries, use our own efforts to obtain the real power that we can master, only in this way can we build Atlantis on the ground.”

Harold and Milna led the rest of the core dwarves and said loudly: "Great god of steam, you love us as if you hold the supreme authority. May under your blessing, rebuild a splendid steam civilization !"

Augustus hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the sacred and vast aura and the incomparably miraculous magic surgery, he still said solemnly: "Pray in front of the holy object one by one, and the Lord will bestow magic spells on those of you who believe in the pious. "

What?

real?

The ecstasy once again hit the hearts of Harold, Milna and other dwarves. After witnessing the scene just now, they thought it was the Lord's special grace for the elder, and the believers who were a little shaken in their hearts You have to wait for a longer time and use actual actions to regain the magic.

Unexpectedly, the great god of steam is actually preparing to bestow magical powers on himself and others without any qualms!

"You are the embodiment of virtue, teaching us the truth of forgiveness."

Harold and the dwarves covered their eyes with their right hands again, and prayed sincerely, only to feel that their spirit was ethereal, their beliefs became more pious, and tears of joy flowed faintly from the corners of their eyes.

Then, Harold came to the silver "Nuclear Bomb" holy object, and silently recited the contents of "Mechanical Apocalypse".

The surrounding noises disappeared, and Milna and other dwarves looked at Harold intently and expectantly. Will the Lord grant divine grace?

Suddenly, a bright and brilliant light shot out from the silver-white holy object again. It shone on Harold, as if covering him with a holy cloak, making him look like an "angel" of the God of Truth.

Really bestowed magic!

Milna and the other dwarves were excited and excited. They witnessed the miracle and the Lord's care for the dwarves!

Harold's aura grew rapidly, and it slowly stopped when he reached the bishop level.

Seeing this, the Great Elder Augustus breathed a sigh of relief. According to the standards of the divine art field, he is a fifth-level bishop, while Harold is a third-level. He is still the leader of the night dwarves, and he is still a member of the Church of Steam. archbishop!

Afterwards, the dwarves came to pray in front of the holy object one by one in order, but not everyone could get the seeds of faith and grow a heart of faith. Only seven or eight dwarves, including Milna, were given divine spells. , and only Milna and Quiggins became third-level bishops like Harold.

But at this time, the rest of the dwarves had no complaints, because those who were bestowed with divine spells were usually the most pious believers, that is, those who became leaders by relying on "piousness"-after becoming a leader, even if they are not so pious, they must still behave. Show a very pious appearance, otherwise how can you control your subordinates.

At the end of the ceremony, Archbishop Augustus stood in front of the holy relic again, and said very seriously: "Divine magic is in conflict with our goal of building Atlantis on the ground, so the Lord told us not to show off this matter, otherwise it will be very difficult. It is easy to get lost in the power. He warned us to keep this secret and only reveal it quietly in front of devout believers. Whoever tells outsiders, or casts magic spells in front of outsiders when it is not necessary, will Take back your power and become a sinner!"

In fact, he didn't quite understand why the great god of steam sent down such an oracle, but after experiencing the miracle and obtaining the god, he dared not question it.

Harold, Milna, Quiggins and other dwarves didn't dare to ask any questions, they all covered their eyes with their right hands and said:

"I will obey your teachings, you are the master of life and death, the king of kings, and the god of gods."

The milky white brilliance surrounded by the silver-white "holy object" is gradually dimming. If there are archmages or legendary people here, you can see a vast universe faintly revealing in the light, and the stars in it emit light of different colors.

atomic universe.

Lucien was floating on a relatively stable planet of silicon elements. In front of him was an altar with complex magic patterns. On the altar was a statue of a bald dwarf.

This statue is entirely composed of hand-polished metal parts, with a layer of cold and mysterious luster, and a dark blue mysterious pattern engraved on the head, as if it is constantly emitting electromagnetic waves of the mind.

The sacred and solemn milky white light continuously gathers from the void and wraps around the statue. They fly in and out continuously, gradually merging together, forming a unique feeling of vastness and transcendence.

And those points of light that have not yet merged are like little angels flying. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear different prayers, praises and songs, and they will create an ethereal and holy surrounding.

The power of divine art flows out of the statue, feeds back into the altar, and draws magical power from the altar to maintain it. Under such circumstances, divine art and magic are harmonious like never before!

"It's a pity that the heart of faith is in conflict with the cognitive world, otherwise we would be able to cast divine spells without relying on items for assistance." There were four people floating beside Lucien, namely Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway and Natasha , and it was Douglas who made this exclamation.

Although magicians can also build a cognitive world based on part of their beliefs, just like Altir, when the cognitive world collapses and is damaged, instead of exploding his head, he is swallowed by the holy light, but this does not mean that he can cast Divine art, unless he completely transforms the cognitive world and solidifies it into a heart of faith, in the same way, except for the superimposed gods, no clergy can build a cognitive world and cast magic with a heart of faith.

Lucien nodded slightly: "The two are not even the same foundation, one is constructed based on the essence and mysteries of the world, mainly based on one's own cognition, and the other is obtained by gradually aligning ideas with the gods of belief. I lost part of myself. In this experiment, I hope to explore the various details of the mystery of false gods, unlike before, where there are only rough guesses and no real progress."

This is the road to the gods improved by Thanos, Viken and others. It is very different from the previously captured "Dark Dragon God" and other false gods who rely on primitive methods to advance, and it can better reflect the essence.

"Existence is the truth, whether we are willing to admit it or not, or whether we want to take this path or not, the existence of 'gods' itself reveals a certain aspect of the nature of the world, so we cannot escape, we must face it squarely, a truly determined Arcanist You will not deviate from your beliefs because of studying the mysteries of the gods, Lucien, it is very valuable for you to carry out research in this area." Douglas has a very broad mind for this.

Lucien smiled and said, "I hope you, Mr. Speaker, Teacher, and Granny Hathaway can keep it a secret for me. Since we concealed the god-like method before, I am worried that this matter will make other members of the Supreme Jury doubt my Be careful and wait until you have some research results before publishing it.”

He is first filing the matter with several great arcanists.

"Mysterious, I don't know what you're thinking." Fernando glared at Lucien. In his opinion, such a reason was too far-fetched, but he did not dismantle Lucien, but planned to see his real thoughts in the future.

Hathaway took out the magic notebook, combined with the actual situation of the altar and special magic items (statues) to study the problems left over from the past: "You can only bestow ten dwarves with magic?"

"The power of faith accumulated in the past has disappeared a lot because there is no support. At present, the power of the statue can't support the magic bestowed by more than five people, and it can't reach the middle level. Fortunately, when I made the statue, I exchanged it for a few God of Truth. The middle and high-level magical items of the Church of God, the Church of the Mother of the Earth, and the Church of the God of Craftsman, so that the statue itself has a strong magical power, and this can achieve the current effect, but in the short term, this is also the limit." Lucy En explained in detail.

After Douglas, Fernando, and Hathaway collected the first-hand information and left, Natasha looked at the dwarf statue curiously: "I never knew that your aesthetic taste has such a serious problem, that you actually like bald heads and draw with patterns..."

As for the dwarves, she can understand, after all, this is the god of steam for the dwarves.

Lucien laughed and said, "The name of this dwarf statue is 'Yuri'."

"Yuri...what's the connection?" Natasha asked puzzled.

tall tower.

Samantha sat alone in her exclusive study room, quietly looking at the air in front of her, as if there were low or shouting voices echoing in her ears.

"There may be a problem with determinism here. Some processes are probabilistic and irreversible..."

"Determinism must die..."

For a period of time, these words haunted her like a nightmare, making her hesitate, bewildered and frustrated. The most frightening thing was that some of the currently completed experiments seemed to illustrate the uncertainty and probability of microscopic particles.

She raised her hand, pressed her forehead, and said in a low voice, "Arcana needs to live, so determinism must die?"

The voice was full of bitterness and resistance.

Dong dong dong, she heard hurried footsteps and a series of footsteps coming from outside, so she opened the door and saw tower magicians gathering in a certain room.

"What's wrong?" Samantha saw her good friend Rachel.

Rachel's expression was confused and painful: "Havin committed suicide..."

"Suicide?" Samantha asked back in surprise, suicide? Instead of exploding his head to die, but committing suicide?

At present, there are not enough important experiments to prove uncertainty and probability, and all thought experiments that are just conceived cannot refute them. Therefore, even if Harvin is a firm supporter of determinism, he will not be affected by the cognitive world stable.

This also left enough buffer time for myself and others.

"Maybe the development of arcane arts made him despair..." Rachel said in a low voice.
