This scene made Lord Black feel that things were a little out of control, and his brain quickly thought about the reason for all this, and immediately took a step forward, trying to control the situation: "Don't mess around, everyone, be devout to the moon god, His light shines on the earth, and you and I will get strength from it..."

It was still the usual rhetoric, but Blake turned his head at this time, Rao, as an arcane elder, he was almost frightened by the scene in front of him and took a few steps back - the original idol was like an activated magic circle at this time, and his entire body emitted a silver-white light like moonlight. The calm face seemed to come to life, and when he looked over, Blake even felt like he was staring at the soft pupils.

To his horror even more, Blake felt the idol's lips twitch slowly, as if he was saying something.

Arcane doesn't have this effect, neither does elemental magic, nature magic, and even all the magic known to Black, but a bright light suddenly crossed his mind and his expression froze: the notebook that recorded the rules of the "Cult of the Luna" also contained a record of "miracles".

Arcanists' understanding of "miracles" is "magic tricks", just like what they did in order to attract believers, through a few spells to create effects, how can ordinary people distinguish between the real and the fake? During the High Elf period, not everyone was an arcanist, and Blake thought that the "Luna Cult" of that period also used similar methods.

However, everything in front of him told him that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

The luster of the idol lingers, as if it has life. The moon in the sky even appeared in a distinct halo - if you stare at the moon, you can see that there are also curtains of light hanging down all around. At the beginning, in order to create an effect, Panda and the others tried their best to simulate the so-called "light curtain" with arcane arts, but those lights could only be seen by people in a small town. At this moment, Blake stared at the bright moon, but he was sure... The height of this light curtain is probably more than tens of thousands of meters, not to mention Panda, even if the Great Arcanist is alive, he can't make a spell of this scale at all!

In other words, it's a sight that can be seen all over the world, and it's not a "trick" at all.

"Hmmm..."

Blake suddenly felt a force in his body violently slamming into his internal organs, his body shook, and he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. After two dry coughs, the Holy Lord found that his palms were covered in blood.

When the Arcanist's worldview collapses, the power under his control will involuntarily backlash, and the blood in his hand will make Blake's face pale - because if he continues, he will probably die silently because of the energy backlash!

"Can't die... You can't die like this..."

He muttered, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, raised his head, and began to recite aloud the prayer he had read countless times to meet the light that hung from the infinite depths...

Intense energy rushed through his body, and although it was painful, Blake was able to bear it - the cries of the believers grew louder and louder, and they were completely dead to the moon god for this miracle on a scale far greater than before. And as the curtain of light faded away, Blake finally opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time.

"Praise the moon god..."

As the arcanist confessed the existence of the gods in his heart, a cool feeling suddenly spread throughout his body. Blake shivered violently, he inhaled deeply, the cold wind had already made his body unbearable, but at this moment Blake felt that he had instantly returned to his youth, and his limbs were full of strength.

"Lord of the Holy Lord!"

Hearing the cries from both sides, he turned his head to look and found that the arcanists beside him were all looking at him with shocked faces, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?"

"You, your hair..."

Blake reached out and pulled his combed hair in front of him, only to find that his gray hair had become a silver similar to that of moonlight—and then he found that his hands were no longer wrinkled before, but full and delicate.

Clenching his fists, Blake inhaled slowly, feeling the new power, and finally said, "Continue the ritual." ”

What was supposed to be a foolish ritual turned out to be a miracle that became a grand event of the "Cult of the Luna" - the curtain of light in the sky ended after the prayers of the crowd were recited, which made the believers even more convinced of the existence of the moon god Strian, and died of the moon god's spokesman on the ground, "Holy Lord Black"...

Until midnight, when Black announced that the service was over, the believers still refused to disperse, and many still knelt on the ground, chanting the name of the moon god incessantly. After careful questioning, Blake learned that many believers in the crowd who were originally physically disabled or sick themselves had recovered or greatly improved in the light curtain.

Obviously, today's ceremony is not only visually stunning, but also has a practical effect that can be accepted and convinced by the general public.

Blake, who returned to the magic tower, didn't say a word, and his cronies, who used to speak casually on weekdays, were also silent at this time. The Arcanists are smart people, and they certainly understand what what happened today means. However, it was obviously difficult to get a group of Arcanists of High Elf descent to accept the facts.

Several people had fallen unconscious due to the violent backlash, and the cronies and subordinates who followed Blake were also all pale. Holy Lord Blake sat there for a long time in front of the fire, and then spoke a little tiredly: "From now on, there will only be the 'Moon God Sect', and there will be no more 'Holy Meeting'. ”

The crowd looked up sharply, and stopped talking. However, no matter how many words were said in their hearts, the facts before them were irrefutable, and they looked at each other, and finally saluted respectfully: "Follow the teachings of the Holy Lord." ”

"Let's go back and rest. ”

Blake, who was nearly twenty years younger, waved his hand to let everyone go. When he was the only one left in the room, the pope, who had mixed thoughts, returned to his study in a trance. After opening the mechanism with the six magical locks, he carefully controlled the black booklet with arcane control and placed it on the table.

This is the "notebook" of the "Luna Cultist" that Blake mentioned earlier. When the booklet was taken out of the ruins, it was in a state of "shattering at the touch of a button", with some of the pages already mutilated. However, after solidifying with Arcane Solid, most of the booklet was eventually preserved.

Blake had read it before, just to copy the "rituals" and "prayers" in it, and the other scattered words had only been read cursorely, and many details had been forgotten. But after today's situation, he realized that this manual may be the only clue to the root cause.

Turning the pages, Blake began to read carefully word by word. When the mindset changes, many of the contents that were originally one-eyed and ten-line begin to become meaningful. The writer of the note is a devout believer, but the contents of the notebook actually have a lot of personal emotions, and it looks like something like a "diary". There are a few trivial matters within the denomination, including the inside story of the promotion and selection of clergy. There is also the author's own opinion on religion and arcanists.

In the past, Blake scoffed at the writer's point of view, often skimming over large passages. But when I re-read it today, he had a new feeling... What's more, he suddenly saw a familiar name.

“... The battle between the arcanists is getting fiercer, the moon god is above, why are these dissatisfied compatriots starting to attack each other in the pursuit of power? I've heard that there have been several serious violent clashes, and it's heart-wrenching... Sumi's behavior is clearly a bit extreme, but that's not why he's wanted. ”

"Sumi. ”

Blake reached out and picked up the stone that had been placed on the table next to him: it was something that a mercenary named "Ludy" had brought back from the ruins, and it belonged to a powerful "old-school" arcanist, who was historically nicknamed "Sumi the One-Armed".

He didn't know if the two names referred to the same person, but as he continued to look down, Blake stumbled upon an unnoticed passage: "... Today, when I heard about Sumi's death and the things he had done, I can only say that my previous judgment was wrong. Arcane is a monster, and without a god to domesticate it, it will eventually become a beast that devours everything... Sumi's madness is so-"

The handwriting came to an abrupt halt, and Blake noticed that the next few pages were probably broken and broken. The missing pages must have been nowhere to be recovered, because when they were first turned over from the ruins, more than a dozen of them were reduced to pieces on the spot, and they could not be restored. I think it's the missing part right now.

What these news exposed made Blake realize that "one-armed Sumi" may not be as simple as he previously recognized. This "madman", who is known as "old-fashioned" in other texts, seems to have done something infuriating?

Thinking that the destination of Panda and the others was to find the ruins of Sumi, and the mercenary had been attacked by a magician before, he squinted his eyes, immediately walked out of the study, and found his cronies and said, "Organize people immediately and inform Panda..."

In the later stage of writing, I am actually tired of simply pretending to slap my face, so there will be this kind of discussion on the existence of gods, and I don't know what it will look like to write it in the end, but it can be regarded as a breakthrough and attempt for myself, and I am also grateful for the support of all readers and friends who have chased today.
