"Restricted by the priesthood, by the expectations of the believers, by their own abilities, the gods have always been like this. ”

The embodiment of the god of knowledge walked leisurely beside Charlemagne with his hands behind his back, and walked with him to the floating city.

It stands to reason that now that 'Assatom' has been blocked, the gods will be a little cautious when acting, for fear that their battle avatars will be destroyed.

But the god of knowledge was completely different, he was not afraid, and even took the initiative to go to the battlefield where the battle would be the most intense.

Charlemagne understood his calm and calm attitude as 'having no fear', but he did not know what the god's faith came from......

At this time, he suddenly talked about this again, which immediately alarmed Charlemagne's heart.

Sensing Charlemagne's wary gaze, the God of Knowledge smiled, "Don't worry, I can't be with the Arcane Empire, do you know why I wore this mask?"

The god of knowledge pointed to the iron mask on his face, which was devoid of any ornamentation, like an oval piece of iron with two holes cut out of the eye, and nothing else.

The mask of the God of Knowledge reminded Charlemagne of the similar masks worn by the Dragon Hunters and the All-Seeing Eye when they were out and about, except that the masks were pure white and had a few vents.

Charlemagne was silent for a moment, "...... Why?"

"Because I was betrayed by the Arcane Empire, they left something on my soul, and after that, I never showed my true face again. It's not that I can't get rid of it, it's just that I wish it was after my revenge. ”

The god of knowledge spoke plainly, but Charlemagne heard danger and resentment in it.

At the same time, he also noticed a word, "betrayal?"

"Spirits are trapped by priesthood and doctrine, so many times they can only do things that are consistent with their own priesthood, and what a god was thousands of years ago may still be like that after thousands of years. ”

The god of knowledge smiled, as if laughing at himself: "It is for this reason that the gods are more 'conformist' than any other being, living the same life, day after day, year after year, day after night, year after year—we are all like this."

"Ordinary gods are not creative, and we are limited by the priesthood, so we can only act in accordance with the priesthood and doctrine, we can only act within a fixed framework, and we can only make choices that we consider to be 'right' within a predetermined category, so how can the gods be creative?"

They were approaching the front lines of the battlefield, but all other voices seemed to be far away, and Charlemagne's only the slightly hoarse voice of the god of knowledge remained.

The tone was calm, but it was deafening to Charlemagne, who had never tried to look at the 'gods' from this perspective, and it could even be said that they had never tried to understand what kind of existence the 'gods' were.

Now, he finally understood why the most famous Arcanists in history had given up their chances of becoming gods in favor of continuing as mortals.

This is almost unimaginable, and it may have taken a long time for the gods of knowledge to understand this 'flaw' of the gods if they had not interpreted it himself.

They weren't perfect, and maybe at the beginning, their minds were quite active, but they waited until a hundred or two hundred years after they became gods...... Over and over again, a life of overlapping will cause them to lose their 'creativity' completely.

When a mindset becomes a formula, it is quite difficult to break away from it!

"Even if it's me, it's not an exception......," the god of knowledge sighed, "As the 'god of knowledge', I can't create new knowledge, but can only protect the old knowledge and ensure that it can be passed on and continued, and this is the end of my priesthood."

"I've tried to change, but I can't, and in the end, the task of creating new knowledge is left to mortals, who are once the Arcane Empire, whose mentors I was once and yet they want to study me! ”

The god of knowledge's mood still did not fluctuate much, but Charlemagne heard a lot of thrilling from it.

"I taught them to pursue new knowledge, but in the end, they taught some ruthless and unrighteous people. If I hadn't sensed their intentions a long time ago, I might have died there instead of being badly wounded...... You don't know very well, but this is the real trigger of that war!"

The God of Knowledge stopped, raised his right hand, and the divine power suddenly formed a shield in front of him and Charlemagne.

The magic energy bombardment shot out without any warning, and the brilliant energy stream suddenly came, and the visible torrent of magic power smashed on the divine power shield, Huo Ran burst out, and the trickle of flying water flowed outward.

"It's a shame, so at the beginning, I begged Jean Uther and Carl to hide the truth, but now, I figured it out, it doesn't matter. ”

That's why no one knows the real reason for the outbreak of the First Austro-French War!

Charlemagne suddenly realized, and then frowned again, he didn't know why the God of Knowledge suddenly wanted to talk to him about this, he had no relationship with the God of Knowledge, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.

"Because I want to share the joy of vengeance with others!"

As if seeing Charlemagne's doubts, the god of knowledge suddenly laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be too boring if only I knew about it and no one witnessed my revenge?

"I have a grudge against the Arcane Empire, and I have never denied it, both in the past and in the Arcane Empire today, they are all the same ruthless. ”

The god of knowledge first sneered, then took a breath and let out this sigh: "Gaining new knowledge and studying more unknowns will make them feel excited and joyful, but I don't know when they have become a group of machines that 'study the unknown', their emotions are apathetic, their guilt is almost gone, if it is for research, then they can sacrifice everything!"

"When an Arcanist accepts the 'Arcanist' community, and is accepted by the group, then he can no longer be considered a complete human being—what kind of human being is the same, and can abandon everything just to study the unknown?

"This is not my prejudice, in fact, it is the people who rule the Arcane Empire that can sacrifice everything to achieve their own ends. ”

The battlefield was chaotic due to the conflict and battle between the creatures of the lower plane and the creatures of the upper plane, the dead corpses were revived under the control of the necromancer, and the Arcane Empire took the opportunity to let the Legion of Transcendents join the battle, and other legends of the Kurkut Empire were also inserted into the battlefield at this time, and the Arcane Empire launched a decisive struggle with the Arcane Empire.

Seeing this, Charlemagne took a deep breath, bowed to the god beside him, and then stepped forward, and the figure disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, he was in the middle of the battlefield.

"Surrender to my will!"

The Sage of Mind stretched out his arms and shouted loudly.

His voice echoed beneath the sky, and the minds of all his enemies went blank for a moment, and at that moment, they even forgot to fight, forgot that they were on the battlefield, and that they might lose their lives the next moment.

Even the undead who were not self-aware were momentarily stagnant, as the necromancers who were controlling them lost their minds for a moment.

At this time, the barrier of the outer city of the Floating City suddenly dissipated, and even the arcanists did not notice it in the slightest.

It's always easier to destroy than to build, even if the barrier of the Floating City has been the research of Arcanists for hundreds of years, including the Grand Arcanist, who use technologies far beyond the imagination of the mages of the world of Assatom.

But like a well-constructed machine, a slightly harder stone can destroy it.

The god of knowledge was silent, and without stopping his progress, he walked straight across the battlefield towards the floating city.
