Chapter 152: The Battle of Faith [1000 Monthly Pass Plus Update]
When the magistrate of the royal capital led his subordinates to this wasteland, he saw a hellish scene.
On the flat ground, a huge dirt pit appeared, the dirt pit was charred and blackened, and the stumps were all around.
They endured fear and disgust before they finally managed to put together the stumps they had collected into a corpse.
The head of the corpse was still intact, and after a royal capital guard carefully identified it, he was shocked and said, "Great Magician Kebin!"
The sheriff walked over quickly, took a look, and said in a deep voice, "It's him." ”
There are many great magicians in the royal capital, but there are only a few great magicians of the wind system, and Kebin is one of them.
This person has a withdrawn personality, although he often appears in front of people, but he does not have many friends, because of his character, he has offended many people in the royal capital, but because of the strong strength of his wind great magician, he did not dare to retaliate against him.
I don't know why, as powerful as Kempin, he died here tonight.
Judging from the traces at the scene, it should be a fire magister who killed him, but no matter how the sheriff observes the elemental trajectory and explores the situation at the scene, he can't figure it out, what kind of fire magic can have such power?
You must know that Kebin is a great mage of the wind system, and the wind system, as the strongest magic attack power of the four series, has the ability to kill by leapfrogging, even if it is a fire magister, he may not be able to leave Kebin.
At this moment, another guard stepped forward and said, "My lord, we found the brothers Victor and Thomson over there, Thomson is dead, his head and body are separated, as if he was killed by the wind blade, we only found Victor's identity nameplate, and a few incomplete bones......"
"Brother Victor......" The sheriff thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is it the day when the black market opens?"
The guard thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be ......."
"It should be. The sheriff thought for a moment and said: "The two Victor brothers are notorious in the royal capital, specializing in intercepting and killing magicians who come out of the black market, they have been promoted to senior magicians for many years, one is a water system, and the other is a fire system, and under the combination, unless they are great magicians, they are not their brothers' opponents......"
The guard said, "Could it be that Grand Magician Kempin is eyeing the Victor brothers on the black market?"
"And how did Kempin die?"
"Maybe there's another fire magus eyeing him?"
"I don't rule out the possibility of this. The sheriff said: "Although the Magister generally does not participate in the black market, it is not ruled out that there will be accidents, and this matter needs to be confirmed with the Magic Association......"
......
When he and Teacher Britney landed in the courtyard, Chen Luo looked at the position of the moon and speculated that it should be after midnight.
Britney looked at him and asked, "Now you can talk about it, what are you going to do at night, why did you provoke the Great Magician of the Wind Department?"
Chen Luo lowered his head and said honestly, "I went to the black market." ”
"Black market!" Britney's face changed and she asked, "What are you doing on the black market?"
Chen Luo said: "The number of intermediate-level variant magic in the Magic Association is too small, I want to try my luck on the black market." ”
Britney frowned and said, "Don't you know how dangerous the black market is, there are a lot of ill-intentioned people there, and they go to the black market for the purpose of intercepting and killing the magicians who trade on the black market......"
Chen Luo admitted his mistake and said: "I won't be ...... in the future."
The smooth sailing has indeed made him let his guard down a bit, and if it weren't for Teacher Britney, he would be in danger tonight.
In the final analysis, it is still that he is not strong enough.
If he had the strength of a high-level magician, would he still be afraid of a mere wind-based great magician?
If he had Teacher Britney's spiritual power, he would be able to summon a blue fireball directly on the old guy's face from a distance of ten meters, without giving him the slightest chance to escape.
It's a pity that the farther away he is, the more dispersed his spiritual power becomes, and it is easier to control the gas, but he still can't control a large number of magic elements.
Not only that, the spiritual power of these high-level magicians is extremely powerful, they can detect subtle fluctuations in magic elements, and they can also perceive Chen Luo's spiritual power, so as to react at the first time, the most foolproof situation is that they walk within five meters of Chen Luo, within five meters, even if it is a great magic master, Chen Luo has the confidence to send them to meet their gods......
Fortunately, everything was in danger, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, remembered something, looked at Britney, and asked, "Teacher Britney, do you know heresy, what is witchcraft?"
When Britney heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at him nervously and asked, "Have you encountered a heresy?"
"Nope. Chen Luo shook his head and said, "I just heard them mention it on the black market, and I was just curious......
Britney looked at him seriously and said, "Blair, you have to remember that in the Divine Grace Continent, you must not have anything to do with heresy......
Teacher Britney obviously knew about heresy, Chen Luo was even more puzzled and asked, "Heresy...... What is it?"
Britney lowered her head and whispered: "They are a group of people who have betrayed the gods of magic, they are an extremely evil organization on the continent, their existence is to overthrow the temple and overthrow the rule of the empire, no matter which empire, which kingdom, heresy will be destroyed......"
Obviously, the existence of heretics and wizards, the four empires and the kingdoms under their command did not publicize it, otherwise, Chen Luo would not have known until now.
Under the narration of Teacher Britney, Chen Luo finally solved his doubts.
The people of the Divine Grace Continent believed in the magic gods from the ancestors, however, in the distant ancestors era, there were some people who rebelled against the magic gods and believed in another god and obtained the ability to perform witchcraft, that one god was called the god of darkness by the magicians of the Divine Grace Continent.
The magical gods taught the magic of their ancestors, giving them the strength to fight against wild beasts and the ability to protect themselves.
The God of Darkness brought sorcery and chaos and death to the Divine Grace Continent, and to this day, the Four Great Temples are still fighting against the heretics hidden throughout the continent.
In the Divine Grace Continent, witchcraft and heresy represent evil and darkness, and anyone who has anything to do with them will be punished by the temple.
Sanctions for the dead.
In Chen Luo's view, this is essentially a war of faith.
If one day, the temple thinks that the god of mathematics also represents darkness, maybe the scholars who believe in him will become hereticals, of course, this situation is unlikely to happen, Chen Luo's belief as a mathematical scholar teaches them knowledge and justice, and he has no interest in overthrowing the four temples and declaring war on the magic gods.
It's just the existence of witchcraft that still makes Chen Luo wonder.
Teacher Britney says that heretics cannot communicate magical elements because they have betrayed the gods of magic, and similarly, magicians cannot use witchcraft because they do not believe in the gods of darkness......
Could it be that the magic element and witchcraft are really the gifts of the gods, and if you believe in them, you will have this ability, and if you don't believe in them, you won't, so if someone believes in the gods of magic today and the god of darkness tomorrow, wouldn't they be able to use magic and witchcraft instead......
And what exactly does "faith" mean here, talking about faith in the mouth, but not in the heart, how can this be said?
Obviously, the magicians said that they believed in the god of darkness, and they could not obtain the power of witchcraft, and Chen Luo was skeptical about the legend of heresy in the Divine Grace Continent.
Moreover, the word heresy itself has two sides.
For magicians who believe in the gods of magic, sorcerers are hereticals.
But for sorcerers who believe in the god of darkness, magicians are heretics.
Who knows what the wizards call the gods of magic, but perhaps for them, the gods of magic represent evil and darkness.
Regarding these questions, I believe that the wizard's codex will give Chen Luo the answer.
Saying goodnight to Miss Britney, he went back to his room, closed the door, and before he had time to shower, he carefully took out the codex and turned the first page......
