Chapter 253: God's Attention
The apex of the mortal spell level is level 9.
Level 10 is a forbidden spell, and generally speaking, only the Sanctuary level can cast it, but if some special conditions are met, legends and archmages can also cast it if they put it together.
At level 11, the difficulty of casting spells is increased tenfold, to a height that makes mortals desperate.
As for why the Grand Arcanist can cast it, it is because the Grand Arcanist has long broken through the limits of mortals, and they have not become gods, mainly because the path they chose is not the path to ascension (which is also related to the immaturity of the combat class system).
Kane already has the status of a god, and he wields an orthodox dark magic.
Mortals will inevitably lose their San value when they face the influence of this kind of magic that exceeds their cognition too much.
The fluctuation of the power of the gods, or the radiation of the gods, arrived first, and people felt inexplicable palpitations as a concrete manifestation of being affected.
Subsequently, the information received by the five senses further ignited the emotions.
Inside and outside the manor, more than 2,000 rat people died tragically almost at the same moment and in the same way, and the dying howls and burning convulsions all turned into stimulating power, turning palpitations into fear.
The SAN value was reduced by 2-4, and a weak-willed human was reduced by 5, and he went crazy directly, crying and laughing as if he was laughing wildly, picking up a broken sword and wiping his neck.
In this context, people were not in the mood to celebrate the aftermath of the catastrophe for the first time, some were dazed, some were depressed, and the people at the head of the city looked in awe at Kane, who was falling like a feather.
The sky was dark, the cold wind was howling, and Kane walked close to the nezumi commander Bloody Eye.
Bloodeye knelt on the ground, staff in both hands, dead.
At the top of the staff, two human skeletons collided in the wind, making an 'empty' sound.
It belonged to the young people, a young man with a talent for magic, and in the empire of this era, he was considered a mutant monster like the beastmen, and he would be executed if he found it.
The empire has a special profession for dealing with mutant humans, called witch hunters, which are the same as the witch hunters in the heresy of the dark HP world, but they are even more arrogant, and they would rather kill by mistake than let go.
"So, in this high-magic world, there are no magicians in the Human Empire!?" Hermione asked Kane for confirmation after learning about this kingdom from the old man.
"It wasn't until nearly a thousand years later, when the empire's magnates realized the role of magicians in their battles against Chaos, that they would establish the Academy of Magic with the help of Tigris, the supreme mage of the White Tower of Hess. ”
At this time, Selene pointed to a large driveway covered in iron: "It's all human corpses. ”
Kane said expressionlessly: "That's the ration that the rat people value more, one fight in the morning and one fight in the afternoon, enough for this rat army to eat for a week." That's why they like to go to war in the winter, where the meat can last a little longer. ”
Hermione said coldly, "Damn the nezumi!"
"This is also a major feature of the world of multi-intelligent races, and there are many cannibal races. ”
"And what about rat meat?"
"Even if you put aside the radiation problem of the power of chaos, the taste is more embarrassing than the meat of an uncastrated boar, and the taste is similar to that of hare meat, a little firewood, after all, the vast majority of rat people have no chance of raising fat. ”
Hermione was just venting, but Kane couldn't help but shudder when he even got this kind of question right.
In fact, Kane had never eaten the meat of the Skaven rats, he had eaten the more difficult to swallow rad rat meat in his early life in his previous life, and that was in the Radiant Wasteland, in that kind of place, especially if he was still a weak chicken, he really had something to eat.
Kane walked to the rat-man's banner, and the four giant man-eaters were all dead, but their corpses kept him standing.
The icon in the center of the tattered flag looks like a nuclear symbol at first glance, consisting of three triangles with opposite tips, but if you look closely, you will find that it is made of wooden branches, and the tail of the line is outcropped horizontally and vertically, like a ''.
The Emblem of the Nezumi clan is made up of what looks like a stick or a bone. This one is relatively simple, and it represents the fourth clan, Pasquet.
The nezumi clans each have their own specialties, such as Pasquet, who is known for producing commanders, and his representative in the council is the commander of the entire nezumi.
By the time Kane and the four arrived in front of the manor, the heavy wooden door wrapped in iron hoops had been opened.
A dry blood stain has not gone away solemnly waiting.
Perhaps because of their location on the frontier, the people here do not have the humility of the inland tenant farmers, and although they do not hold their chests up, at least their heads are raised.
Maria stepped forward and performed the etiquette of 1853 to roll call her master: "His Royal Highness Victor Cullen, Grand Lord of the Star Field, and his wife have arrived." ”
The people of Cropen Manor were confused, which country is this called? Where is the star field? Your Highness? means that the position is higher than that of the duke's heir?
"Hello, I'm Leonie von Leebwitz, and on behalf of my family and all of us at Cropen, I would like to express my sincere respect and gratitude to you for saving Cropen from great danger. ”
The rules of the empire are much simpler, not only can women show their heads, but there is nothing wrong with introducing themselves.
However, the owner of Croppen Manor is actually Leebwitz, which makes Kane a little dumbfounded.
Leebwitz, an ancient family canonized during the reign of Emperor Sigmar, and the future master of the Grand Earldom of Wiesen.
It's the year 1112, 1707-1712 in the Imperial calendar, and the Orc warlord Gbard Ironpaw has led a Greenskin army into the area, and the entire Thor Territory has been completely destroyed. In the end, the only surviving nobles were the Leebwitz family, and with the then Emperor Sigismund IV, he recovered more than half of the province of Sol and established what became the province of Wiesen.
However, Kane only remembered the memorabilia of the empire (after becoming a god, he could remember all the information he had read before), and he did not know that Leonie was the master of Lebwitz's Zhongxing.
Leonie is the feminine spelling of Leon the Lion, and this lioness is worthy of her name.
In the midst of the plague havoc orchestrated by the Skaven and the ensuing war, which killed three-quarters of the Empire's mouth, the Lebwitz family was able to recover quickly, and even further, thanks to Leonie's efforts.
Just a few weeks later, the Lebnowitz family was left with only Leonie and her brother.
Later, Leonie married Eldred (Elector), who was old enough to be her father, and the Leebwitz family was able to prosper with his help.
Since she is such a decisive female man, it is understandable to see a big thick leg like Kane now, breaking the routine and hugging her leg quickly.
After learning from the family who had been rescued in the Oren Forest that Kane still had the ability to heal the disease, he became more and more determined.
Let down your guard and show the greatest sincerity in order to get the possibility of cooperation.
One of the costs is to block the reputation of the old family.
Kane would certainly love that. The people of this era are simple, but they are also xenophobic. Coupled with the social system of the Empire, and the special circumstances here (the Land of Troubled War), the tough Thor people are not easy to get close to.
If the Leebwitz family, who have the title of Baron of Worcester, are willing to help, they will immediately not be a grass platform, but have the name of a ruler, and it will be much more convenient to act.
Of course, the question should still be asked.
People in this era are also relatively straightforward, and Leonie asks if she doesn't understand, for example, the origin of the name of Star Field and His Highness.
Kane said that the star field is the opposite of the underworld, also known as the Pure Land, and that the four of them are gods there.
"Are the people of God the chosen ones?"
"You mean the Chosen One, a powerful human being who has been endowed with divine powers and is able to manifest the divinity of the gods? No, we have nothing to do with the gods, we don't believe in gods, if you have to say that we also have faith, we believe in the nature of the universe, the Force. ”
"The Force?"
"Yes, light, darkness, time and space. These are the most essential forces that make up the universe that we believe in. ”
Leonie was secretly speechless. I thought to myself, "It turns out to be an old-fashioned believer." ”
For the people of the Empire, the Old Religion existed before the Empire was founded.
The Old Religion did not worship gods, and although they had the image of the 'Mother God' in their sect, she only represented nature and was not self-conscious.
This simple faith is called the primitive faith, and its sect is the old religion.
The old religion has now been largely replaced by Protestantism, which was born after the establishment of the empire, and only remote and backward areas remain, and the followers are mainly located in remote places, including the Sol Territory, but generally in the mountains further south or west.
Neither Leonie nor Kane had time for long talks, both of which had a long list of post-war matters to attend to.
Hermione and Maria contributed a lot.
Maria's healing magic matrix is equivalent to a high-tech medical bed, where the injured go in and the healthy come out, and the efficiency is high.
And Hermione concentrated the rest of the people, the holy light and rain, purification, epidemic prevention, and nourishment were all there, and the results were also immediate.
Kane and Seren are busy with more brutal rat-man transformations.
Among them, Kane is responsible for the construction of the most important energy device, the Magic Furnace.
Selene takes the awakened Dark Servant with her, collecting corpses, sorting materials, and making other preparations.
Leonie had been thinking about what Kane had said while dealing with chores.
She didn't bother to think about it at the time, but now that she thought about it, it seemed inappropriate to generalize Kane and others as Old Christians.
One of the main reasons why the old religion was replaced was that it was always hot, and most of the time, the prayers or rituals of the believers were not effectively answered. Still others are unsure whether it was God's response, good luck, or the result of their own struggle. And even if there is a response, the help is relatively limited.
But Kane, the power they showed can only be described as shocking and magical. Because you are a god, you can be so strong?
Also, the more you think about Kane's words, the more unclear they become.
It must be said that Kane sometimes made mistakes, and the people of the Middle Warhammer, even a well-educated aristocrat like Leonie, had too vague a concept of the universe. To put it mildly, you expect people who don't even know the map of the world to understand the universe?
If you fail to load the ratio, you will lose points.
Leonie was a bold man, but she didn't dare to joke about her faith. And when things are undecided, the first thing she thinks of is to pray like a goddess.
This is not just the wisdom of Leonie alone, but the wisdom of most believers. Of course, whether God will give back guidance is another matter.
The last rays of the setting sun shined through the cracks in the windows into the small prayer room, and on either side of the shrine, the coarse wax on the iron-framed candlesticks had been lit.
After Leonie prostrateged, she began to pray:
"O wise Lord, your faithful pray to you......"
This time, Leonie was quick to get a response from Mirmidia, the goddess of wisdom and war.
And this response seemed to be a bit excessive, as the sunlight shining through the cracks in the window suddenly intensified, surpassing the brightness produced by the four rows of candles on the left and right of the iron-framed candlestick.
The light shone on Leonie's body, and she clearly felt the gift of divine power, and every cell was excited and full of energy, which made her particularly surprised.
"Thank God for this, and I will glorify you with more dedication. ”
(Mirmidia: Child, you think too much, if you don't strengthen your body, once my will comes, you will disintegrate and die on the spot).
Soon after, Leonie felt a warm stream of heat rush into her body, and Mirmidia's voice sounded in her head again: Let go of body and mind, my faithful, I will personally bless your soul, and I will protect your body.
Leonie complied, and then felt a chilling chill seep into her eyebrows, and then quickly spread throughout her body.
Next, she found herself deaf and clear, and the whole world seemed to come to life.
She didn't know the result of the fusion of the divine soul at this time, and thought that this was the benefit of blessing and protection.
The goddess told her that she needed to meditate in the prayer room for two quarters of an hour, and if she felt sleepy, she might as well take a break.
So a moment later, Leonie curled up on the little blanket with heavy eyelids, and fell asleep. At this moment, her body lit up with a human glow visible to the naked eye, brightening and dimming at the same frequency as her heartbeat.
When she woke up, it was completely dark, and Leonie felt good, she was very tired from what had happened today, but now she was tired and full of energy.
She remembered the goddess's instructions, so she quickly appeared at the head of the city, and after greeting the guards on duty, she looked at Kane's operations outside Zhuangzi.
By this time, Kane's production facilities had been unfolded, and she was shocked by the scene......
