063, method
The next few days at Evelyn were uneventful, but as Talos had said at the family meeting, the aura of his genius shone throughout.
This time, the place he shined on was the Inuit Trench.
On the last day of the 15th month, Talos received an invitation to enter the Academy of Knights of the Deep Sea because of his status as a Bloodliner.
As another institution of higher learning for professionals in the Naga Kingdom and Rhea School of Magic, the Deep Sea Knight Academy has always been the cradle of bloodline knights, training many outstanding generals, knights and adventurers.
Today, Headmaster Eugenie is a skilled swordsman in multi-weapon combat and swordsmanship, and is recognized as one of the Kingdom's most promising fourth-order powerhouses to take the final step to become a Sword Master.
If it hadn't been for the accidental activation of the bloodline, Talos would have been more than happy to go to the Knight Academy of the Deep Sea in the Inuit Trench to experience the customs of the deep sea, which he hadn't been to in the strict sense of the word in the past seventeen years.
Of course, an even more important reason is that in this way, Talos will be able to become a co-alumnus of the two institutions of higher learning in the Naga Kingdom, creating a historical record that has never been seen before or since, and will be praised by future generations.
- There is no special school for the priests of the Sainz World, they are all sent to the church from an early age to receive personal instruction from the priests of the temple.
As for now, Talos, who was busy looking for more information about Queen Jane, could only decline the invitation of the Deep Sea Knight Academy through the magic web with great regret, and received three consecutive replies from the director of the admissions office, "That's really a pity, it's definitely the biggest loss since the establishment of the school".
"So you're telling me this to express your regret about not being able to be an alumnus of both Naga Kingdom institutions of higher learning at the same time?" asked Chris.
"Of course not, I want to say that at the kind invitation of the Director of Admissions, I finally chose to register at the Deep Sea Knight Academy. You may not believe it, Chris, more than half of the high-ranking officials, nobles and high-ranking professionals in the future Naga Kingdom are my alumni. ”
Chris, who was far away on the mainland, looked at Talos's reply and felt a little sour in his molars: "If there is nothing else, I will go offline, because your excessive excellence makes your ordinary friends so ashamed that they want to dig a hole and bury themselves as soon as possible." ”
"Wait a minute, don't!" Talos hurriedly told the other party the true purpose of looking for Chris today, "Chris, my best friend, how much do you know about the Ancient Sardin Dynasty?"
"Ancient Satinia Dynasty, the ancient Satinia dynasty with a short history of twelve years?"
"Yes, please be sure to tell me that you have some information about the ancient Sadinian dynasty in your possession!"
In the past half a month, Talos has used the power of the Evelyn Palace and the Nepton family to collect information about the ancient Sardin dynasty, Urban I and Queen Jane, except for the gradual fullness of the image of Urban I, the founder of the dynasty, in his mind, there is not much other gain and progress.
According to the information gathered, Urban I, the legendary mage, has well inherited the mainstream views of the ancient Arcane Empire, such as "gods are just some powerful creatures", "magic and alchemy are the foundation of civilization progress", and "gods are worthy of reverence because they are powerful, but not worthy of faith because they are essentially equal"!
It is no wonder that the lifespan of the ancient Satin dynasty was only twelve years.
Considering the fact that the king provoked the blasphemy of the belief system of the gods, it is a miracle that the ancient Sadinian dynasty existed for twelve years, and the Church would not have allowed the existence of such blasphemers at any time.
At this point in time, if Talos dares to make radical remarks similar to "gods are not worthy of belief" in public, he will be arrested by the paladins of the Sea Temple in the name of blasphemy in less than an hour, and even Sandra may not be able to save it.
This is the majesty and power of the gods in the world of divine domination, and anyone who dares to resist and challenge the order of the gods will be severely punished by the church and the temple.
"Tell me, what are you looking for? There should be some in the teacher's library, and I can help you look them up. Let me see, it will take about three days. ”
"No problem at all, it's a pleasure to meet you, Chris!" Talos organized the language as he fired a sugar-coated cannonball, "the main thing is about Jane, Queen of Urban I, and it would be nice to have more details about her life." ”
"Interesting, there are very few people who specialize in the study of queens who are often overlooked because of their status, and now I am beginning to wonder what you are studying Queen Jane for. ”
"When you read about her, you can see why I have such a huge curiosity. ”
Ending the conversation with Chris, Talos summarized the current progress: Queen Jane's information, waiting for Chris's feedback, the progress can barely be marked as 10%, and the method of stripping [Gluttony]......
It's a shocking 0 that means no progress.
God knows how happy Talos was when he learned of the Soul Fire side effects (the Seven Primal Desires) and obtained a way to strip them from his body, but happy moments are always short-lived, lasting less than a second before reality extinguishes, even if it's only three simple steps.
The first step is to build a temple of your own and shape the statue of the god;
The second step is to proclaim the name of Talos and collect faith in the true sense like the gods;
The third step is to construct a virtual world or realm with the help of temples and beliefs, seal the primordial desires in it, strip them from the body, and take on the distractions of this type in place of the ontology.
In this process, the first stripped of the primordial desire is the least difficult and requires the least amount of faith, and the more primordial desires are stripped away, the more difficult it becomes, and the amount of faith required gradually increases.
However, judging from the general environment in which Talos lived, let alone faith, the young Naga could not even find a place where he could build a temple.
Throughout the ages, no blasphemous person has had a good end, and the once glorious ancient arcane empire has been annihilated in the long river of history, let alone him who has just been promoted to a first-order bloodline knight.
The Black Sea is definitely not a good option, too many eyes are on it.
If there is anyone who will support Talos emotionally, it is probably the royal family of the rulers of the Tis dynasty of the Naga Kingdom.
They can't wait for Talos to make big news such as "faith independence" and "heretical faith", so that they can take the opportunity to break up the Black Sea, which was finally dominated by Sandra, and restore the dualistic decentralization situation.
A divided Black Sea is what contributes to the rule of the royal family.
"Faith...... Temple...... Faith...... Temple ......"
I must find an opportunity to leave the Black Sea for a while, Talos thought.
