Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sensation (Chapter 1, 4,000 Words)

Sitting next to Bahá'u'lláh, Valenhill had a resolute face, his right hand clenched into a fist, and the milky white light on it flowed serenely, clearly furious at the blasphemous evil magician Lucien Evans.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, the cardinal with a thick white beard smiled and handed out another briefing: "Bahá'u'lláh, Valenhill, you are seeing the briefing on the first day, the second and third days. There's no need to pay too much attention to Lucien Evans, it's just synthetic urea, do you think that this substance that exists in filthy things like feces is a living substance?"

After several popes reinventing the arts, the members of the Order of Cardinals were able to read the arcane treatise to a greater or lesser extent.

Suspiciously, he took the briefing in Philippe's hand, and the rough-looking red-haired Bahá'u'lláh read it carefully, it was full of discussions of the definition of urea, of the doctrine of human vitality, and that it was clear that the reasons of the necromantic magicians prevailed, while the elemental arcanists could not come up with more forceful and reliable evidence.

"It's not as serious as we think, and it's the Lord's blessing. Philippel drew a cross on his chest.

Bahá'u'lláh, who was the first to read it, also nodded: "In fact, it is true that the filthy urea should not be regarded as a gift from God, and the definition of this aspect should also be refined into the description of the 'God-given theory of life' in the Holy Book as soon as possible." ”

"Then there is no need for us to take the great risk of sending devout night watchmen willing to sacrifice everything for the glory of the Lord to clear Lucien Evans. Tell the inquisitions of Holm, Camelot and other major dioceses to pay close attention to Lucien Evans' movements, and then take action when they have the opportunity. ”

Although Valenhill was sent here by the Pope to strangle the evil magician, he also understood that in several countries such as Holm, the strength of the Magical Council was to completely suppress the Church, unless the Church could send most of the members of the Cardinal Conference to reinforce, but in this way, the Northern Church, the Evil God Kingdom near the Dark Mountains, the dark creatures in the Dark Mountains, and the ancient inheritance magicians would have a chance to take advantage of the void. As a result, it was discovered that the Council of Magic's research on natural magic had made little progress. Both Valenhill and Bahá'u'lláh agreed to Filibel's suggestion not to stir up a big incident, and were prepared to make a small fuss.

Lucien's experiment in synthetic urea seemed to throw a boulder into the calming down, allowing the two devout believers, Valenhill and Bahá'u'lláh, to rekindle the flame of the majesty of the Lord. But the ensuing changes extinguished their adventurous mood and continued to work steadily.

"I agree with Valenhill's suggestion, except that this arcane genius rarely leaves Aringe and Rentat before becoming a mid-level mage, and has little chance of eliminating him. "Philippel is the most knowledgeable of all the members of the Cardinal Council about the style of the Magical Council.

Then. There was a sharp knock at the door of the study.

"Come in. Through the vast "Vision of God", Philippel had already seen a priest with a panicked expression at the door, and the amount of holy light contained in his body was fluctuating violently, as if it was about to swallow him at any moment.

The pastor pushed the door open. Uncharacteristically, he did not salute the three big men, but said eagerly: "Your Excellency Philippe, this is this morning's briefing, and they sent it out in advance at great risk. ”

"Steady your emotions and don't doubt the Lord, don't doubt the Lord's omniscience and omnipotence. Filipel's soft voice seemed to soothe the recestor's dazed panic a little.

He kept drawing the cross on his chest, slowly stabilizing the uncontrollable power of God.

Filipbel took the briefing with a bad premonition. Look at the first page with the calmest attitude:

"An experiment on the synthesis of a fatty acid from several non-living substances such as charcoal through a series of alchemical reactions" - Felipe Carneiro.

In the introduction to this treatise, Felipe proudly and directly wrote: "Through this experiment, I think it is possible to announce to all magicians that the doctrine of human vitality has completely withdrawn from the historical stage of arcane development!"

Looking through the series of experimental designs that followed, Philippe, a cardinal who had been in the diocese of Holm for a long time and had a high level of cultivation, also exclaimed: "This is blasphemy! This is a direct provocation to the majesty of the Lord! Felipe must be eliminated immediately!"

His white-bearded jaw trembled violently as his voice raised, as if he wanted to ignore his identity. Go directly to the town of Sariwa or the city of Heidler, Alinge and other status to purify Felipe, as for the "small" character of Lucien Evans and his "insignificant" experiments have been completely forgotten.

The rugged and heroic Bahá'u'lláh took the briefing and took a closer look, and slammed his fist on Philippe's desk, and under the faint dark light, the desk was completely wiped out, leaving no powder behind: "How can a mortal peer into the realm of God, this is a blasphemous who must be judged at all costs!"

Had it not been for the fact that Bahá'u'lláh was an epic knight whose strength came from his god-given bloodline, his soul would have been wounded by the current wavering of faith.

"The first thing we want to do is to confirm the authenticity of this paper. Instead of looking at the briefing, Valenhill said calmly, drawing a cross.

If a single paper could shake the faith of the powerful people of the church and destroy themselves, then the Magic Council would have concocted countless fake papers every year to defeat the enemy, and basically every priest had the ability to complete the experiment according to the paper's instructions - there were similar experimental vessels and magic arrays in advance.

"Seal this paper, and don't leak it to ordinary bishops and priests in advance like the last electromagnetic wave and holy light incident. Philippel closed his eyes a little tiredly, "This is the Lord's test of us, and the devotion of faith is manifested at this time, and we will preach to them after finding a loophole in the experiment or other explanations." ”

Filipbel, who has served as cardinal of the diocese of Holm for nearly 100 years, has experienced many shocks, so he has not lost control of his "holy soul", he has not lost control of the Holy Light, and he has replaced other cardinals who have not faced similar shocks, and may have been burned by his own Holy Light after reading the paper.

"All glory be to the Lord, but the truth remains!" Bahá'u'lláh, Valenhill, and the pastor next to him prayed in unison, telling themselves that even if non-living substances can synthesize fatty acids, it comes from the Lord's omniscience and omnipotence, but they and other believers have not yet understood what the Lord's test is.

After praying, Valenhill said in a deep voice: "Cardinal Philippe. I request that several devout Night's Watch men be sent to assassinate Felipe. If there is a chance, it will be caused by the purification of Lucien Evans together, if not. Then wait for your chance. ”

The reason why he mentioned the pious Night's Watch was because it was a mission from which there was almost no return, even with the help of the spies who successfully assassinated Felipe, surrounded by so many high-level mages and archmages nearby. There's no way he'll survive, let alone a few Grand Arcanists there. The ordinary, co-opted Night's Watch would certainly not be willing to sacrifice themselves, and forcing them to go would force them to join the Church.

"This thing. You and Bahá'u'lláh are responsible for arranging for me to liaise with the nobles and keep the churches on guard against retaliation from the Magical Council. Philippel regained his composure.

Menshak took the briefing in his hand, and the flesh refined by the human body turned into rotten flesh and fell to the ground piece by piece as if it could not withstand the impact, but the soul flame in his eyes was still stubbornly not extinguished.

"I just want to see the overwhelming elemental mage debate, what is it?"

"The doctrine of human vitality is really wrong. Really wrong......"

"Even a necromantic genius like Felipe has abandoned it, is he too blind and arrogant, or is he really wrong......"

"The experimental design looked fine, but I didn't dare to verify it. ”

Menshak suddenly wailed, his body crackling. This is a manifestation of the fact that the refined flesh can no longer control it:

"Then my research over the past few hundred years, the growth of magical strength in the past few hundred years, are all based on mistakes?!"

"Is it a mistake in my life?!"

"But if I'm wrong, why can I live so long, why can I transform into a lich, why can I improve my magic and learn all kinds of magic?"

The spontaneous self-denial and the experience of walking step by step in the past have created a strong conflict, and Menshak's cognitive world is showing signs of collapse.

Pieces of rotting flesh fell off, white bones fell to the ground, and only a white skull was left for Menshak to float in the air, the soul flames in his eyes scorching it a little.

"It's finally stabilized, fortunately, I had some doubts before, and Felipe's experimental results are trustworthy, since he, a guy who has always adhered to the theory of human vitality, can abandon his past cognition and get back on the road, why can't I? Necromantic magic has developed until now, and has been overturned by my own people three basic theories, and each time it can achieve great development, why don't I accept it? Our necromantic system is a vibrant faction that can correct its own misconceptions, why should I despair?"

Rather than having the doctrine of human vitality overturned by the abominable elemental magicians, it seems to be more acceptable to Menshak to have it corrected by the necromancer himself, at least to make him feel that the road ahead is not hopeless, at least to make him understand that the past learning is not just a mistake, that the doctrine of human vitality is superficially common to the truth, and that what is needed now is to explore its essence, so its false "appearance" must be discarded.

With a sigh, the briefing turned to the second page, and the comments of the Pale Hand higher-ups such as Pesol, Tina Dimos, and Rogerio appeared on the experiment:

"This is a great and brilliant experiment, in which the genius Felipe frees us from the error of the doctrine of human life force and foreshadows that we will embark on a more correct and brighter path. —Pesol.

"There is no doubt that Felipe is a true arcane genius who has blown away the dark clouds that have hung over us necromancers for an unknown number of years. Necromancers, think about why you can't stagnate and become a more powerful magician, because the foundation is wrong, and if we correct it, the future will be brighter and smoother!" - Tina Dimos.

"This is a groundbreaking, groundbreaking, important, subversive experiment, Felipe allows us to see the never-ending spirit of the necromancers in their quest for the mysteries of life, and allows us to accept the end of the theory of human vitality, because there is a broader and closer realm of truth ahead!

The great names have a lot of praise for Felipe and necromantic magic, and their one-sided attitude makes the necromancers slowly accept the fact that the doctrine of human life force has been overturned.

This is the power of authority!

Although many ultra-conservative necromancers were spared the end of headshots, the influence of their continued insistence on the doctrine of human vitality made them understand that their meditation environment was in ruins, and it was difficult to take a step forward, so the hatred focused on Felipe, this traitor!

............

In a magic tower in the city of "Heidler", an old man wearing the robes of the ancient magic empire looked at the briefing in his hand and shouted angrily: "This is impossible!"

Then there was a loud bang, his head completely exploded, his body fell to the ground weakly, and in the secret room of the magic tower, a life box made of countless rare magic gems also cracked, and then an old and resentful voice came out: "Fortunately, I knew in advance through Traquill that Felipe was close to success, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to resurrect through the life box." Felipe, Rogerio, Professor, Lucien Evans, I'm not going to let you go!"

Felipe, who was sitting opposite Rogerio in the Manor of Sariva Town, took a sip of red wine, looked in the direction of Heidler, and sneered in his heart: "Damn old guys, have you tasted the bitterness this time?"

............

Maurice, who rushed to the manor, sighed a little disappointed: "It's a pity that we didn't come up with conclusive evidence, otherwise the loss of the Pale Hand would have been heavy." ”

"It is better that the strength of the council will not be greatly weakened. Lavendi was more open-minded, and he was more satisfied that an erroneous theory had been overturned, and then he looked at Lucian: "Evans, I ask you seriously, do you really not know the doctrine of human vitality in the Dao, or do you really not know the Dao of the Dao?

"Yes, Mr. Lavendi. Lucien replied calmly, and then took out the Holm crown ring that Natasha had given, "I completed this experiment before I came to the Magic Council. ”

After being identified by Felipe, Lucien decided to confess to the upper echelons of the Elemental Will, so as not to be blackmailed by Felipe, and the more lies there are, the more difficult it is to conceal them, and confession and leniency are sometimes a good means, at least much better than being found out.

Since you have your back to the organization, you can act a little more magnificently!

"Professor?" Gaston, who had hunted down Felipe because of this incident, directly thought of Lucian's identity.

And Morris looked at the ring and sighed slightly, "It reminds me of little Meredith." Evans, you've been learning arcane since the City of Chants?"

"Yes, I got the witch's legacy, and she knew a messenger of the Magic Council, so she left some of her knowledge. Lucien replied with a smile, seeing that the expressions of Lavendi, Maurice, and Gaston were quite kind, and he did not pursue the things he had concealed before, after all, Lucian's identity is a bit special, and it is normal to want to cover it up, and it is commendable to be able to confess frankly after being trusted.

Then Lucien said seriously and solemnly: "Three gentlemen, in fact, I have completed an experiment. (To be continued.) )
