Chapter 253: Projection
By the time Wifred reached the camp at the foot of the Devil's Mountains, the continent of Bogdanor had entered the end of the Frost Season, the last month of the year.
β...... I want to know all about the situation when you defeated the Demon Spirit Thieves!"
When Barron led Aldrich into the only stone house in the camp, which was also the reconstructed camp command post, the old man he had seen last time, that is, Wilfried, was in the room with a serious face to the two of them, asking them in detail about the scene when the cavalry battalion broke through the thieves' camp.
After several people in the stone house saw Barron come in, they all nodded slightly, Barron waved his hand to show that he would not disturb them, and then found an empty seat and sat down.
While Popoch and Adonis explained the day's situation to Wilfried, Barron glanced around the stone house.
In addition to these three people, it was discovered that there were two middle-aged men standing behind Wifled. One of the two was tall and burly, and what caught Barron's attention the most was that the other had a brown beard that covered most of his face.
The bearded man was dressed in armor and wore a long sword, and his body was in no way inferior to Adonis and Popochi, and Barron could tell at a glance that this bearded man was a mid-level knight.
As for the other person, although he is not short, his figure is much thinner than that of a bearded man, and he is dressed in clothes similar to that of Wifred, although the energy fluctuations on his body are far less than that of Wifred in front of him, but he is a few points stronger than Aldrich behind Barron, which means that the other party is at least an intermediate wizard apprentice.
However, Barron always felt that this person was very familiar, but Barron confirmed that he must not have met the other person.
"MartΓr Erivi is the eldest son of Weavered Erivi and the first heir to the wizarding family of Erivi, as well as the uncle of [Amethyst] Patrick Erivi!" Aldridge whispered behind Barron.
After Aldrich's reminder, Barron knew why he felt familiar with this Martil, obviously because Martil and his nephew Patrick looked alike, but because of his age, his face shape still changed a little, so Barron misunderstood.
"Who's that other man?" Barron asked, the bearded man standing behind Wifred.
"[Bearded] Duden, who was originally a well-known free mercenary in other countries, was later recruited by the Erlevy family to become the chief of their family's bodyguard. Aldrich knew Patrick of the Errevi family, and knew the family behind him quite well.
Barron nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and at this time, Popoch and Adonis also explained everything that happened on the day of the breach of the thief camp, including the encounter with the Phantom who seemed to be a god and the speculation about the identity of the Phantom.
It's just that no one noticed that when Popoch said that he was suspected of being a god, a strange color flashed in Wifred's eyes.
After Popoch had finished their speculation, Wifred said, "I came here at August's request, and I had a general idea of the situation before I came back, and I had gone through the various ancient books in the family. β
"According to your account, the phantom you encountered is indeed a god, or rather a projection of a god!"
"Projection?" the crowd wondered.
Wifred knew that everyone didn't know much about this, so he said in detail: "True gods have great powers, which can be roughly divided into two major stages: demigods and true gods, and each stage is divided into three levels: junior high school and high school. β
"It is recorded in our Erlevi family that even a first-order demigod has the power equivalent to that of a first-order official wizard, and a god above the true god can even rival the power of a fourth-order Morning Star wizard, destroying the world and destroying the world. β
Wifred's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the stone house, they didn't expect that there was really such a powerful force in the world, not to mention them, even Aldrich, who was a wizard, had never heard of such a statement, and they were fascinated for a while.
However, in between Wifled's words, Aldrich would still explain to Barron: "Although the current Erivi family is not the most powerful wizard family, it is the oldest family on the continent, and the family has produced many strong people with peak wizard apprentices. β
"There are even rumors that the patriarch of a certain Erlevy family has advanced to the position of supreme official wizard, but this is just a rumor, all the wizards in the outside world think that it is the boast of the Erlevy family, but now it seems that the Erlevy family can obtain so many secrets, it is not necessarily groundless. β
While listening to Aldrich's explanation, Barron listened to Wevered's explanation: "The gods can use their own divine power to possess part of their own power to the believers who believe in them, in addition to enhancing the strength of the believers, they can also personally use the power of projection to fight when necessary!"
"The reason why the leaders of the other bandit groups you are talking about have increased their strength is because of the projection of the gods. β
"Of course, the power of the god's projection is determined by the power of the god itself, and the more powerful the god, the more powerful the projection of its possession to the believer, so according to the example of the illusory shadow in your description......"
Speaking of this, Wifred paused for a moment, glanced at Barron before saying, "This so-called poisonous god should not have the power of a supreme official wizard, at most it is about the same as a peak wizard apprentice, otherwise his phantom will not be cut down by a sword." β
"No, we felt such a powerful coercion that day!" Popoch said in disbelief.
The coercion of the projection of the god of poison that day made him truly feel a terrifying power, which he had never felt in Duke Dark, so he believed the guess that Barron said, this god of poison had the strength of surpassing the strength of the great knight and the peak wizard apprentice, which was equivalent to the powerful power of a full-fledged wizard.
"That's it!" Aldridge echoed, feeling the terrifying coercion of the poisonous god that day.
"Lord Wifred, didn't you just say that even a beginner-level demigod among the gods has a strength comparable to that of a first-order formal wizard, why does this poisonous god only have the strength of a peak wizard apprentice?" Barron asked with the same confusion.
Wifred smiled and said, "Of course, a normal god has supreme power, and it is an existence that we cannot match. β
"But what if this so-called poisonous god is in a weakened phase?"
