Chapter 126: Divine Magic and Magic
Annoyed by Alfred, Charles rode his pony Ziyue and followed Elizabeth to the front of the caravan to explore the way, and now every day when Charles is in class, Alfred disappears, and every time during recess, this guy appears to pester him to tell stories, and Charles finds out that this guy has recently started taking notes.
So in the afternoon magic class, Charles begged Elizabeth to take him out to scout and attend class at the same time.
The current course is still based on theoretical knowledge, and the two of them are riding forward while talking and listening, and asking and answering questions are still no problem.
Today, Elizabeth is explaining to Charles about magic, which is a system of power that is different from magic.
"The power of faith is another manifestation of spiritual power. Elizabeth said to Charles, "Whether it is a human or an elf, when you pray to God, your spiritual power will be transformed into the power of faith." ”
"Part of the power of faith will be channeled to the object of prayer, and part will remain in the body. ”
"The power of faith is pure, it is not as attributed as the element of magic. ”
At this time, Charles's brow furrowed under the mask, because he had heard Reimu say a while ago that the power of faith of those believers contained too many negative desires, so he would not accept it.
There must be something wrong with the power of faith that Reimu doesn't even need.
"Is there such a thing?" said Elizabeth, "this is the first time I've heard of such a thing, and I need to do further research on this matter, and you shouldn't talk about it with anyone else." ”
Charles also realized that this matter was very important, so he nodded very solemnly.
"Then let's talk about magic. Elizabeth didn't dwell too much on the previous question, "Divine magic is when the power of faith in the body has accumulated to a certain level, and the gods give blessings to the pious. ”
"Each person has different desires when praying, and the divine blessings they receive are different...... Huh......"
Elizabeth and Charles glanced at each other, as if they had discovered something that could fill a gap in theological scholarship.
So Charles asked, "If the power of faith has attributes, then is the divine protection obtained by the pious also related to the attributes of the power of faith?"
"This issue needs to be studied. Elizabeth pondered, "This is a void in theological research. ”
Charles changed his direction and asked: "Since it is said that the source of the power of faith is spiritual power, and spiritual power is the magic power refined by the soul, then magic power is the source of extraordinary power?"
"That's right. Elizabeth nodded, "There is an example before our eyes, that is, Auntie's body is maintained by the power of faith, but she can also reduce the power of faith by replenishing her magic power...... The wind is coming!"
Elizabeth's magical pillar of wind caught a two-hundred-kilogram boar flying like a cannonball out of thin air, and Artoria's figure appeared in front of the road.
As the caravan's cook, Artoria's main mission is to hunt food for the caravan.
Because her consumption was too large, she had to rely on this method to reduce her consumption.
Now the members of the caravan often sigh that since the arrival of the beautiful cook, everyone has eaten a lot more meat every day.
It's not the first time something like this has happened today, and Charles rode Ziyue to the side first to avoid being harmed by the pond fish.
But today, Artoria did not pack Elizabeth as before, but stood quietly on the side of the road waiting for the caravan to come, and she seemed to be thinking about life.
After riding past Artoria, Charles watched Elizabeth snickering as she muttered, and Charles realized that the relationship between the two of them should not be easy.
Continuing the lecture, Elizabeth said, "Because the power of faith and magic come from the same source, the two can influence each other. ”
The simplest example of this "mutual influence" is when a shield condensed by one side's forces can block the other's attacks.
At this time, Charles remembered a question and asked, "Sister, can you restore the power of faith to magic?"
Elizabeth shrugged, "I haven't heard of it, I'm afraid only a god can do this, but God refines the power of faith into divine power." The divine blessing given by God is made up of divine power. ”
Charles thought about it after an "um".
After possessing the Broken Godhead, he has been thinking about what the Godhead is and why it can be completely fused with the soul.
He had a guess that the Godhead was a kind of sublimated soul. And the condensation of the godhead that Reimu said before is likely to be the process of soul sublimation.
When ordinary people use magic, they first use "meditation" and other methods to refine their soul into spiritual power, and then use spiritual power to drive and mobilize the surrounding magic power to form magic.
The amount of spiritual power that each person can carry is related to the strength of the individual's soul, and refining the magic power into spiritual power is also a kind of "exercise" for the soul, just like people are exercising their bodies when moving bricks, so that their bodies can move more bricks. The reason why those traversers are generally strong is probably that their souls are strengthened when they cross over.
And that day, after fusing the Broken Godhead on the altar, he was able to transform Reimu's unwanted faith power into magic through the fused Godhead.
Later, he secretly tried it again, and this method applied to the power of faith in weaving dreams to return.
Charles then wondered if the role of the soul in it would be something akin to a "format converter". The relationship between magic, spiritual power, belief power, and even divine power is like video formats such as MPEG, WMV, MKV, RMVB, etc., which are different but can be converted to each other. It's just that there is a difference between the soul of an ordinary person and the "transforming" function of the Godhead.
On the other hand, the Godhead should also be an "editor" that the Godhead can use to compile the Divine Protector and download it to other people.
On the other hand, the "one-click use" of divine protection is also theoretically related to this. The magic protection made by God is like using Windows, and the average user can just use the mouse to click. The magic developed by humans is like using DOS, and if you want to use it, you have to memorize commands such as dir, deltree, format/q, etc.
However, Charles found that his broken godhead only had the function of "format converter" and not the function of "editor", perhaps this is why Reimu was relieved to give this godhead to himself.
At the same time, Charles also heard a very important content from the words of Reimu that day - knowledge.
Even if it was Reimu, he didn't help Charles get his nose out again because of his lack of relevant knowledge, otherwise he wouldn't have missed any opportunity to increase the number on the bill.
Later in the battle, Charles also realized that Sora had a body of magic without the corresponding knowledge of magic, and in the end he could only use the simplest magic such as fireballs and wind blades to attack.
If he had mastered the more powerful and complex magic at that time, he would have been able to go all the way through at that time.
Elizabeth did not disturb Charles, who was thinking, knowing that the child was easily lost in thought, and that the conclusions drawn after thinking about it were still valuable.
