Theodore was not angry at Zaratus's taunt, and said calmly: "Your Excellency Zaratus, you are the Grand Magister and a great philosopher, as long as you retract your blasphemous remarks, the Temple can no longer pursue your past. ”

Chen Luo stood aside and watched, the Temple of Fire killed a priest and seriously injured three people, so his strength was greatly damaged, and he could not be held responsible, it seemed that even the temple was very afraid of Zaratus.

Think about it, a philosopher who is at the peak of the Great Magister and has great influence in the continent, even if the temple can destroy his **, it can't destroy his mind.

"Dreaming. With a mocking smile on his stubble-covered face, Zaratus said, "Even if I am dead, nailed to a coffin, I will also cry out in a rotten voice, 'The gods are dead'!"

Theodore said with some regret: "Then please go back to the temple with me, if you want to resist, please don't be here." ”

"Why resist?"

Contrary to Chen Luo's expectations, Zaratus looked at Theodore, suddenly clenched his hands into fists, and then raised them flat, and said: "The new era has arrived, and the new era will surely bring new changes, and I will witness the changes of the times with my own eyes in your temple......

Magicians need to communicate magical elements through gestures, their hands are tied, and there is no difference between the archmage and ordinary people.

Two clergymen ran out from behind Theodore, quickly tied Zaratus' hands, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Even if Zaratus was injured, he was also a strong archmage, and no one knew about his rivalry with the four priests.

Although Zaratus was captured, he still left with his head held high, Theodore looked at Chen Luo and asked, "Lord Blair, do I really look stupid in the eyes of you scholars?"

Chen Luo said, "You can just try to advance to the Holy Demon Master." ”

"There are risks associated with advancing to the Holy Magister. Theodore said honestly: "Most magicians will die in the process of promotion, which is why the Holy Demon Masters of the continent are so rare." ”

He looked in the direction Zaratus had left and said, "Even if he doesn't die, he will fall into madness like His Excellency Zaratus." ”

"Crazy?" Chen Luo shook his head and said, "I think he's more sober than anyone else. ”

Theodore didn't say anything more, took one last look at Chen Luo, and said, "Goodbye, Your Excellency the Sage." ”

The matter of Zaratus was just a small episode for Chen Luo.

Theodore said that there was a risk in advancing to the Holy Magister, and that the Archmagister had a high chance of dying in the process, and that Archmagister Merry might have been worried about this, so he never went to the temple.

There should be many more archmages who have the same idea as her.

Zaratus's temperament changed greatly after he failed to advance to the Holy Magister, Chen Luo felt that he should have discovered something, but unfortunately Theodore came too quickly, he should have asked him a few more words just now......

In the royal capital, where Chen Luo appears, it will always attract a lot of attention, which is why Isabella likes to take Alice shopping instead of him.

This is the headquarters of the Galaxy School, a place where scholars gather, and in the short time that Chen Luo has stayed here, many scholars have surrounded him.

"Is that the philosopher of Zaratus?"

"He was taken away by the people of the temple!"

"He has blasphemed the gods, how can the temple let him go......"

"But we are scholars, is it also a sin for scholars to express their opinions......

......

Dozens of scholars were talking in the direction in which Theodore and the others had left.

After leaving the School of Truth, the Scholar of Will joined the Galactic School, and he originally settled in Gaya, but later followed Chen Luo to Loran to assist him in the day-to-day affairs of the School.

The strength of the University of Will is only that of the Great Magician, but he has a high prestige in the academic world, he stood behind Chen Luo and asked, "Was that His Excellency Zaratus just now?"

Chen Luo nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"He was also captured by the Temple. Will had a curious look on his face, "People say he's crazy, I don't think ......"

Seeing that Chen Luo didn't speak, he continued: "Recently, some scholars have been studying magic and witchcraft, do you want to stop them?"

In the Divine Grace Continent, scholars are forbidden to study witchcraft.

But since Chen Luo began to overturn old ideas and introduce new theories, scholars' attitudes towards science have changed.

They didn't dare to doubt what had been passed down for thousands of years, and they would only go deeper and deeper along the wrong route.

Now it is different, the two stones that landed in Gaya have greatly hurt the self-esteem of the scholars.

The sages said that the heavy stone falls first than the light one, they believe it, and then one mistake is thousands of years, this is not the attitude towards science, only the verified truth is the truth, they will not easily believe in any old or new theory.

Once the shackles of thinking are lifted, they can no longer be restrained.

They studied celestial bodies, they studied bacteria, they also studied magic and witchcraft, and then many scholars discovered that there was not much difference between witchcraft and magic, except that one required spells and gestures, and the other did not.

They are all using spiritual power to communicate with some element in the void, and even the form is similar, why is one called magic and the other called witchcraft?

Magic is taught to magicians by the gods of magic, witchcraft is given to wizards by the goddess of darkness, the goddess of darkness is obviously better for her followers, wizards don't need gestures and spells at all, not even rabbits, but when magicians release magic, there will be so many restrictions, which also leads to them often being at a disadvantage when they meet wizards.

Chen Luo shook his head and said to the scholars of Weill University: "The development of academics needs free soil, and without free land, there will be no beautiful flowers. ”

"The sage is right. The Wille scholar nodded and said, "It seems that it's time to grab a few Warcraft and study them......"

For scholars, as long as the seeds of curiosity in their hearts begin to sprout, they can no longer be contained, Chen Luo can't, and neither can the temple.

The emancipation of the mind has made more and more scholars dare to challenge tradition and authority, and there are always some of them who are not afraid of the temple, although scholars also believe in the magic gods, but they believe in the truth that has been verified by themselves.

If they were asked to choose one of the two, they would not hesitate to choose the latter.

Zaratus was in the temple, but his thoughts had long since spread to all parts of the continent.

"The gods are dead" was not the only claim he made.

He believes that all magicians are imprisoned by the gods, otherwise, magicians should be like wizards, like monsters, without spells and gestures, and free to release magic.

Not only that, but he also believes that there is no barrier between the Great Magus and the Holy Magister, and when the spiritual power reaches a certain limit, all the Grand Magus can be promoted to the Holy Magister, and what God's gift is just a lie of the Temple.

Zaratus was a thinker, and his thoughts, not everyone could understand.

Most people thought he was crazy and scoffed at his ideas, but his ideas still planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of a small number of people.

These seeds are buried deep in their hearts, just waiting for a spring rain, they will break through the ground, take root and sprout, a small seed, maybe one day grow into a towering tree......
