Chapter 422: A Lock Breaked
In Cecil Collar, inside the Church of the Light, Gawain found Wright with Amber and Pitman, who had just come out of the alchemy lab.
At this time, Wright had already changed his badly damaged armor and put on a coarse cloth sewn priest's robe, compared to the tired and gloomy appearance when he had just returned to the territory, his mental state was obviously much better now, and when Gawain led people into the church, he was wiping down the classic shelves placed in front of the pulpit, looking calm and indifferent.
But Gawain knew that true peace and indifference had left this priest, and at this moment, he was just waiting to take over the cause of the Light again.
Undoubtedly, it is also part of the cause of the Light to be examined and researched to help everyone understand the mysteries of mortals bypassing the gods and gaining the power of the Light.
"Looks like you've had a good rest these days," looking at Wright recovering in front of him, Gawain nodded and said, "How do you feel now?" Have you seen any other changes in your body? β
"No, everything is fine, the light is the same," Wright smiled gently, his smile still reassuring despite the shocking scar on his face, but then he frowned again, "but I don't know if it's an illusion, I've been feeling like there's something in the church lately...... It's not the same as before. β
"It's not the same in the church?" Gawain asked curiously, "What's the difference?" β
"I always feel like someone has entered the church," Wright confessed, "but there is no one to be seen." β
As soon as these words came out, Gawain and Pitman subconsciously glanced at Amber, who was standing next to her.
Miss Half-Elf suddenly woke up from her distracted state, and then shouted, "Hey, what do you think I'm doing?!" I was like the kind of person who slipped into someone else...... Someone who casually sneaks into the Church of the Light? I'm the Shadow God's Choice! I have principled ......"
Without waiting for Amber to finish yelling, Gawain shook his head: "I don't think this matter has anything to do with you - the most valuable thing in this church is a few pieces of crystal glass, how can it attract your attention." β
Amber nodded approvingly, with a look of pride rather than shame, while Pitman next to him looked Wright up and down with an interested expression: "Maybe it's a slight misalignment of perception after breaking through mental limitations...... Interesting, kind of interesting......"
Then, without waiting for Wright to speak, the little old man took the initiative to ask, "I heard that you have completely abandoned your belief in the God of Light?" β
To this day, Wright is able to confront and talk about this topic quite naturally, and he nods calmly: "I have chosen what I think is the right path - an empty idol does not serve the righteousness of the Light, and I now believe in the morality I believe in more than the God of Light." β
Pittman nodded, "Let me see your light." β
Wright didn't hesitate, and when he heard this, he opened his hands, and a hazy clear light appeared beside him.
Gawain looked at the light floating in the air, and always felt that something flashed in the light, but when he looked closely, it was just dust particles floating in the air.
Pitman didn't seem to notice this, he just carefully observed Wright's way of summoning the Light, and asked in more detail, "You don't need to pray anymore when you summon the Light?" So is there a spellcasting process as a substitute? β
"Just calling the Holy Light to respond like this doesn't require casting, similar to talent casting, but to use a more powerful Holy Light power, you still need the assistance of the casting ritual - it's just that the prayer to the gods that must be done when releasing the magic has been omitted, and guiding the Holy Light when casting the spell also requires your own spiritual power. At first I wasn't comfortable with it, but now I'm used to it. β
"This shows that you have a good magical talentβthe druids believe in one thing, and that is that the so-called 'spiritual talent' of the clergy is actually a type of magical talent," Pitman rubbed his beard, "Also, although you can now summon a holy light of considerable intensity and purity, the holy light skills you can release should be very few, right?" β
"Yes," Wright didn't wonder why Pittman knew such details, but answered all the little old man's questions very cooperatively, "In most of the magic casting process, the prayer to the gods is the most important component, and the remaining spell casting prayers or spell models after omitting them can hardly support a magic to work, so now I can only cast a very limited number of magic - although they seem to be stronger, but the variety has indeed decreased." β
"This is because you are not a mage, and you don't know how to use mage's methods to deduce spell models, so you have a powerful holy light, but you can't use it well...... But that's not a problem, we've done a lot of research in the field of magic and magic transformation, and Kamel is an expert in this area, and he should be able to help you perfect those spellcasting skills...... And for now, let's study how you can control the Light yourself......"
Gawain couldn't help but ask, "Does Wright's process of controlling the Holy Light have anything in common with the druids back then?" β
"To be honest, it's not the same...... Pittman frowned, "You should know that the end of the druid's faith was due to the 'White Star Fall' event, which can be said to be ironclad evidence of the fall of the god of nature, all the druids have witnessed the fall of the god of nature, whether they want to or not, the druids lost their faith at that time, or lost the goal of their faith, and after that, the nature god was also directly invalid, and the druid mastered natural magic without any pressure and restrictions from the gods- Wright is different. β
Speaking of this, Pittman glanced at Wright: "Even if you don't plan to believe in the God of Light, you probably didn't see it die in front of you at that time, right?" β
Gawain couldn't help but sigh at this little old man's powerful and unique language art - if it weren't for Wright in front of him, anyone who casually changed to a holy light believer would have been splashed with blood at this time, I really don't know how this old man could live so big in such a skinny situation, I am afraid that his original intention of learning druid spells back then was not to prevent being killed on the spot after being cheap?
Moreover, Rao Wright had already broken free from the shackles of faith in the God of Light, and he was really awkward after hearing Pittman's simple and straightforward words, and then shook his head with tears and laughter: "Of course I didn't see it...... I had only my own emotions in my head. β
"That's the difference, when the druid gained the ability to cast spells freely, the god of nature was dead, the god of nature was no longer effective, and these are all certain facts, but now the god of light is dead? Has the Holy Light Divine Technique failed? Apparently neither. β
Gawain actually really wanted to say that the god of light was really dead, not to mention the god of light, the god of war was also dead, the three gods of abundance were also dead, and even the god of death was dead - I don't know how this last one works......
But it's a pity that he can only muttered in his heart, it's the same thing for others to believe or not to say these facts, not to mention that he is not completely sure if the throne of the God of Light is empty nowβafter all, the prayers of the believers of the Holy Light are answered.
And he heard the little old man's meaning from Pittman's words:
The druids gained the ability to cast spells freely because the gods of nature were really gone, and without the constraints of the gods, the druids could cast spells freely.
And Wright ...... He forcibly acquired the power of the Light while the God of Light was still alive.
"There are also many people in the Druili who specialize in the history of the fall of the white star, and we have always believed that the premise that mortals can convert the power of magic into magic and use it freely is that the corresponding god falls and its binding power disappears," Pitman looked at Wright, and the expression on his face gradually became serious, "But after seeing you, I had an idea - maybe the real breakthrough is not in the gods, but in the mortals themselves." β
"Could there be another possibility," Gawain decided to remind him sideways at this time, in order to prevent Pittman's inference from going into a misunderstanding, "If the God of Light had actually fallen like the God of Nature, but no one knew about it, so every Light believer was shackling himself ......"
ββ¦β¦ Ah, that's a bold idea," Pitman looked at Gawain with some surprise, but after a moment he thought seriously about the possibility of this bold idea, "...... Anyway, we don't have anyone here who believes in the God of Light, so we can boldly assume this speculation, but there is still a problem - Wright still believes in the existence of the God of Light when he broke through the shackles of faith, right? β
"Yes," Wright replied with a serious expression, "even now, I feel that the God of Light exists, even if I don't believe in it anymore. β
"In any case, our reasoning is going in one directionβthe limits of so-called magic seem to exist only within ourselves?" Pitman raised his eyelids, his expression a little confused, "Could it be that as long as a believer believes that he can be free from the restrictions of the gods, he is really not restricted and can use the power of the corresponding gods on his own?" β
"This can't be," Amber shook her head in disbelief, "If it's that simple, there must have been a few self-releasing priests in the world for so many years, and someone has already succeeded in transforming magic into magic?" I remember that there was a Holy Light Priest who tried to control the Holy Light with a magic array, and he didn't fail in the end......"
"Maybe it's because there's not enough 'self-affirmation'? Perhaps the mind has not been completely freed from the influence of faith? Pitman said his guess before finally looking at Wright, "Do you remember how you felt and thought when you broke through the limits of your faith and gained the Light?" Well...... I know this memory may not be very good for you, but it's really important for our research. β
"It's okay, I understand," Wright smiled gently, then frowned slightly, remembering the moment that changed everything, and after a long time, he broke the silence, "I remember that I had only one strong thought...... If God is not credible, I believe in myself. β
"If God is not credible, do you believe in yourself?" Gawain repeated the phrase, "Just because of this idea? β
"It was just this thought, and it was the only thought I had at the time," Wright said, "and my mind went blank, only this thought exploded, and then I was driven by this thought to completely abandon all dependence and hope in God, and at some point ...... For a brief moment, I felt as if I had broken something, it was like a lock, and by the time I could react, I had regained the light. β
Pitman rubbed his beard again: "Did you break a lock......?"
(Recommend a book, "Regular Pentahedron", through rebirth (?) ), it's still a seedling, and I mainly want to see if this book will die...... οΌ
