Chapter 22: Power or Magic

CHAPTER XXII

As the battle continued, Liliana risked angering the king to slash at Erica in order to keep her few friends from dying too cheaply.

In fact, Liliana is not stupid, although Erica is indeed a guest, as a knight serving the king, Liliana should not be rude to the guest, this will undoubtedly lose the king's face.

But Liliana was also justified, and the king had given her full authority to deal with the visiting magicians, so the king would not mind using force against some unwelcome guests.

The two in the battle also knew a little bit of proportion, did not use any destructive magic, but purely relied on each other's swordsmanship to distinguish between them, and their grasp of the sword made them not damage the costume of this place in the fierce battle.

Erica had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to get out of the fight.

This is the local shili, where onmyoji and shrine maidens are enshrined in the king's hall, and as actual guardians, they can't let themselves fight with Liliana.

Even if Lily is a subordinate of the king.

Maybe they wouldn't hurt Lily in order to avoid the king's punishment when they intervened in the battle, but at least they wouldn't let her continue to swing their swords here.

In that case, Erica's chance comes.

"Please stop! This is the king's dwelling place, the supreme temple! How dare you be so presumptuous! ”

The shrine maiden guarding the door heard the noise and had to come in to stop the two from fighting, which is exactly what Erica was waiting for.

"All right, Lily! You heard it, if you don't stop, be careful and the consequences are unpredictable! ”

Erica unleashed the force of her Steel Lion and pushed Lily away and retreated behind the red-clad witch Miss.

"Drink ~ Drink ~"

The fierce battle caused Liliana to breathe slightly, but Liliana did not answer Erica and the shrine maiden's question, silently inserting the silver master back into the scabbard and turning back to the room.

“……”

The shrine maiden and Erica were silent, and withdrew with a gloomy face and gritted their teeth.

If Liliana didn't continue to attack, then the shrine maiden was disqualified from interfering; Without the king's permission, shrine maidens and Erica were also forbidden to trespass. Faced with Liliana, who rejected them with silence, Erica could only leave the other courtyard before considering other methods.

Or......

Just stand outside the door and wait for the king's return, and come forward to see him!

In a twist of brain, Erica also died of the heart to visit, apparently Liliana seemed to be very unkind to herself for some unknown reason, but Liliana got the king's authorization again......

It seems that this is the only way to do it.

Erica wandered back and forth outside the door like an abandoned puppy, she didn't know when the king would return, but she couldn't leave.

Obviously, Liliana didn't want to see the king, so she must have used some means to prevent her from seeing the king. Although it is not known what role Liliana plays in front of the king, for the sake of the bronze's orders, Erica must find a way to meet the king to convey the bronze's wishes.

"That...... Miss Erica? If you don't mind, why don't you come to me and take a break? ”

As a shrine maiden who guards this place and waits for orders, it is naturally impossible for her to stand at the door every day like Erica and suffer from the wind and rain, and there is her residence not far from the side courtyard.

"Yes! Of course, gladly! ”

Erica smiled, this is what she wants, but she can't take the initiative to speak, and letting the other party take the initiative to invite her is the best choice.

After receiving the invitation of the shrine maiden, Erica naturally did not walk around the door anymore, and happily obeyed her desires and entered the small lady's cabin, which was not extravagant but very chic.

The cottage has two large windows facing the courtyard and the main gate, so you can keep an eye on the courtyard even from inside.

Take a seat in the window across from this gate, this is the perfect place for Erica. Picking up the witch maiden to make haode tea, Erica chatted with the shrine maiden leisurely, casually paying attention to the situation outside the window.

On the other hand, the Emperor, who had been attacked by the Magus and captured the Council of the Magi, also came to an elegant café to communicate with the visitors of the Council of the Magi.

"King, power and knowledge of God are of little significance to the king, and no matter how much we study, we will not be able to reach the height of the kings. Let me say that this was not a trade that would make the king lose money. We are also willing to give back what we have received from our previous and subsequent research. ”

The magician who had come to the meeting of the wise men was quite comfortable with the conversation with the king, and seemed neither humble nor arrogant, even if there was a terrifying being sitting across from him who could take her life at any time, the magician did not show the slightest concern.

This is also the meaning of the emperor's willingness to take some time to listen to his speech.

"What you say is meaningless, I am also a researcher myself, and there is no one more professional in the study of power than me! I'm not averse to communication, but at least let me see your sincerity? Not as a king, but as a comrade who pursues the truth, I myself hope to be able to unravel the mysteries of God. ”

After taking a sip of coffee, the fragrant coffee spread in his mouth, which lifted the spirit of the emperor.

"My pleasure, King!"

As if thrilled that the dignified king, known as the Son of the Fool, was also a seeker of truth, the magician bowed to the emperor despite the current situation in the café.

"Well, good! I can answer you about my analysis of power, and as one of the oldest Western magic associations in existence, I need the original of your magic books that have been handed down from ancient times to the present day. I don't think I'm asking too much. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, the emperor has not forgotten his original intention, and the liliang that cannot be obtained through training for the power of the god killer does not mean much to the emperor.

The ability that cannot be strengthened through cultivation and cannot be popularized can never be the path to the supreme.

Only the ability to be recognized by the majority of people and make the largest number of people feel affordable can be developed to the extreme.

For example, the one we are most familiar with, no matter which shijie is irreplaceable, is the scientific liliang.

Compared with Liliang, which has been handed down for thousands of years from ancient times, the development of science and technology has only taken a short hundred years, and it has changed from simple steam power to ever-changing electrical energy and even nuclear energy.

The astonishing destructive power of a nuclear bomb is probably beyond the reach of most magicians who have practiced all their lives.

"I thought, yes! Compared with the mere Demon Dao Book and power, it is far from comparable. ”

For this shijie person, the power of power is not comparable to mere magic at all, even the magic of the pinnacle of magic is far from the power. Compared to the study of exchanging power from the hands of a king, the mere Book of the Demon Dao is not worth mentioning.

"Really?"

The Emperor smiled indifferently, noncommittal about the magicians' choice. Perhaps magic has only proved the great gap between magicians and gods in the course of a thousand years, but the Emperor will not be so short-sighted.

The Emperor still remembers the Prometheus Cheats of the Godslayer Shijie, which is an ancient original text. You must know that this Demon Dao Book is one of the incarnations of the gods that have sealed it, and its power is only a step short of the power of the gods.

Perhaps human beings can no longer write such a demonic scripture, but this is the way that can really be achieved through research and training, isn't it?

Without this shijie, the ritual of the god killer may be meaningless, but the Demon Dao Book can exert a terrifying effect on almost any shijie with magic. Not to mention the origin of the formation of the Demon Dao Book, the knowledge written on it by the ancient sages.

"I don't understand why you value Liliang so much, but personally, I'm more interested in magic or magic."

Putting aside the coffee he had drunk, the Emperor took out a small notebook, which was a research record that the Emperor had carried with him, because the things recorded in it were too important, so the Emperor had always carried it with him.

This is a record of the Emperor's research since he first entered this shijie.,Research records on the power of angels.,If someone finds out, someone who is interested may be able to deduce that the god of disobedience who killed the King of Swords.,It's very likely that it's him.。

"Oh, king! This is what only a king is qualified to say! For us magicians, even if we work hard for a lifetime, we can't compare to the gods and gods, so we are unwilling! ”

Smiling bitterly, the magician's expression was more like crying.

Powers are not available to everyone, and don't the Council of the Magi understand this? Of course not, it's just that they're unwilling and jealous.

After cultivating desperately for a lifetime, the price they paid was unimaginable to outsiders, but what they had worked hard for a lifetime might have been left behind by others for a few hours. You let these magicians be so willing, in the face of the irresistible god killers and demon kings, they can only explain that they are purely just hobbies, but the obsession hidden in their hearts cannot be concealed.

"This notebook records my research on gods and powers, and I think it's quite professional! I will give you a copy of it, and I will also pass on the Book of the Demon Dao to me on that day. I'll show you first. ”

Flipping through the notes to the back pages, the Emperor handed them to the magician opposite.

The Emperor was not worried that the magician would turn the note to another page, as long as the other party had not made a fool, he should know that since the Emperor had opened the note and handed it over, he must have wanted the other party to look at the record on a certain page.

Of course, if the magician on the opposite side really looked through the previous notes without knowing whether he was alive or dead, the emperor didn't mind letting there be an extra missing person on this shijie.

With an excited face, he took the Emperor's research notes, and the curiosity in the magician's eyes shone almost brighter than the sun in the sky. With a trembling hand swiping literally, the magician was immersed in this forbidden knowledge almost instantly.

"Rules, symbols, myths, beliefs, hearts, divinity...... Is this the nature of God's power? ”

The magician had almost forgotten that it belonged to the king, and if it hadn't been for Zuihou's sanity telling him the consequences of doing so, he would have almost wanted to take the notebook for himself.

Naturally, the study of the emperor will not be empty and meaningless, and what can be recorded by the emperor is almost always a direct description of the emperor's divine power and power, which is not even described in human words. Rather, it is a pure divine text, and only this can fully explain the nature of power.

Judging from this Shijie concept, this notebook of the Emperor Governor can even be sublimated into a real Demon Dao Scripture after many years.

A record of the power of the divine realm.
