Chapter Thirty-Eight: Doubts about Divine Magic
"Far East?" said Murna, with a puzzled expression, she couldn't think of anything to do with the topic at hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Seeing this, the old man explained unhurriedly: "After the change in the Far East ten years ago, there are only two ways left to get to the Far East. Within the territory of the Bloodline, through the city of Pedel, through the Jingya Mountains to the east, there is also one, you should know. β
Molna nodded.
"But do you know that the difficulty of entering the Far East from the Blood Clan's path is several times lower than that in my country!"
"This ...... Does it have any effect on us?"
"Of course there is, and the impact is huge!" Nord said in a deep voice. "In the past ten years, I have sent fifty groups of elites to explore the Far East, and although I have also achieved considerable results, they are ...... The losses are also extraordinarily huge!"
The old man paused for a moment before continuing: "There are almost half of the teams that failed when entering the Far East, and only one out of ten survives after entering the Far East. If our disciples can enter the Far East through the path of the Blood Clan, the success rate will be at least doubled!"
Listening to the old man's words, Mo Na hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Why do we pay such a big price to explore the Far East? Although the strength of the sorcerers is indeed strong, they ...... After all......" At this point, she didn't know how to express it.
Nord knew what she wanted to say, and said with a smile: "You want to say that they are heretics after all, and using their power is blasphemy against the Supreme God, right?"
The girl nodded silently.
"Hehe, that's what the conservatives in the Senate say about me, and I've had countless conflicts with them over the years because of this. Nord said.
Mo Na never knew that there were these contradictions in the upper echelons of the church, and she didn't expect the teacher to tell her these inside stories, she didn't dare to say a word, so she could only listen to the old man slowly in silence.
"Actually, I can understand their thoughts, if we don't even believe in the magic given to us by the Supreme God, and instead pursue those heretical tricks, then it is not a betrayal of the Supreme God, what else can it be?"
"Butβ" Nord's tone abruptly accentuated, and his next words surprised the girl. "What if magic isn't the power given to us by the Supreme God at all?"
What the?!
She didn't believe that the teacher would say such a thing, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. If this sentence hadn't come out of the mouth of her own teacher, the Star Prayer Star Emperor, she would have drawn her sword against him.
But the old man didn't seem to see the complicated expression on the girl's face, and continued: "We have obtained the power of divine magic from the Morning Star, and the Morning Star is the guiding light given to us by the Supreme God, and there is nothing wrong with either of these things. But you are so clever that you have ever thought carefully that from the above two points, you can really deduce that 'magic is the power given to us by the Most High God'?"
"......" Suddenly, Mina's heart felt like a heavy blow.
She was very smart, and as soon as the old man said it, she suddenly found that if she studied it strictly from the logic, it was indeed impossible to deduce that "the divine technique is the power given by the supreme god to the Prayer Star Sect"!
To give a simple example, a rich man wanted to show a beggar very pitiful, so he gave him a bag of copper coins, but accidentally mixed a gold coin into the copper coins. The beggar accepted the money bag given to him by the rich man, and then he accidentally found a gold coin in the money bag, can it be said that the rich man intended to give the beggar a gold coin?
According to Nord, the magic may be the gold coins that humans accidentally obtained from the Morning Star!
However, this is too different from the common sense she has always accepted, and although she knows that the teacher's words are reasonable, it is still difficult to accept.
After a long while, she retorted: "Teacher, the possibility you said does exist, but if you think about it carefully, this possibility is very small, could it be that we have drilled the tip of the bull's horns, maybe the original intention of the Supreme God is to give us divine magic through the morning star? Moreover, if the role of the morning star is not to give us divine magic, what is its real effect?"
Instead of being angry, Nord smiled with relief, but in this smile, Mina also saw a hint of bitterness.
"You are indeed my smartest student. The old man said. "I don't want to be just on the tip of the horn, but fifteen years ago, I ventured into the Domain of the Morning Star, and I was less than ten yards away from it, and it was almost within reach......"
When she heard this, she was shocked in her heart, knowing that ordinary people who came within a mile of the Morning Star would be burned to ashes by the fiery divine power. If his teacher has penetrated such a close distance, he is not only strong, but also probably has paid a huge price.
But she didn't ask, just listened quietly to the old man's continued narration.
"By sensing at very close range, I discovered many new things, many of which were never mentioned in the texts of the church. After returning to the Holy Capital, I pondered, and based on my new knowledge of the Morning Star, I had a bold conjectureβ"
"Morning Star, in fact, is a door that communicates the Divine Domain and our world!"
"One ...... Door?" Mola wondered.
"Yes. Spellcasters used to have a theory that the Morning Star was just a source of energy. In the past we thought it was just a shameless blasphemy against my teaching.
But in fact, at least part of their theory is true - the Morning Star is indeed a source of energy, but the sorcerer has not been able to explain why the Morning Star needs to have such powerful energy.
"I am now almost certain that the reason why the Morning Star has such powerful energy is because it is the only way to tear through space and connect the realm of the gods to our world. As for the magic we get from the Morning Star, it actually only accounts for a very small part of the Morning Star's total energy. β
"But it's too hard to tear through space, and even with the Morning Star's power, it's hard for us to hear God's Word, let alone enter God's realm......" Nord continued.
Mo Na suddenly grasped a key point, and didn't bother to interrupt the teacher's words and asked, "Teacher, you said, 'It's hard to listen to God's Word', has anyone really heard God's voice?"
"Yes, this person is me, and I did hear God's revelation to me fifteen years ago when I was near the morning star. β
"......" Mina was shocked, if it wasn't for the teacher, she wouldn't have believed it at all. You know, in the thousands of years of history of the Prayer Star Cult, no one has ever had a conclusive proof that they heard God's Word.
"Can the teacher tell me...... God...... What kind of revelation did it give you?" she asked cautiously after a long pause.
"I can't tell you the details just yet. The old man shook his head. "You just need to know that in order to receive further divine revelation, we need to strengthen the power of the Morning Star and allow it to tear open a larger rift in space. And to strengthen the power of the Morning Star, we need to take advantage of something left behind by the Spellcaster. β
"The High God allows us to do this?" and ......," said Mena.
"You can ask, I don't blame you. Nord said.
"Since the Morning Star was created by the Supreme God, with the power of the Supreme God, why is the Morning Star not enough to tear open a large enough spatial rift?"
The old man was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I can tell you, but you should not delve too deeply, because this is only my speculation from God's words - our world, perhaps, some accident has happened, it is too far from God's realm, beyond God's expectation when he created the Morning Star, so the Morning Star is not enough to tear open a large enough chasm." β
The girl's expression was visibly shaken, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't ask anything.
Seeing this, Nord nodded with satisfaction and said, "Therefore, the gods have allowed us to use the results of the sorcerer, which is an expedient measure, but only in this way can we allow the morning star to tear open a large enough spatial rift to listen to the truth that the Supreme God is going to teach us." β
"Have you wavered in your faith?" Nord finally asked.
When she heard this, she knelt down and replied in a deep voice, "I have not wavered!"
"Good. The old man nodded, but this time he didn't let the girl get up, and he suddenly returned to the original topic. "Do you know who the Bloodclan Maiden you met in Antia Town?"
Mo Na was stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't know." β
"I'll tell you something. Nord's voice grew more serious. "Not long ago, we received a secret message from the Blood Clan that the eldest daughter of House Vimilia, Rogie, had been impeached by the Blood Council, and that her sister Andrea was now at the head of the family. After Rogie was impeached, she was subjected to the Bloodthirsty Technique, and then fled all the way south, and then lost her trace!"
"Could it be?!" the girl exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, after reading your report, I was just suspicious, but after reading your memories just now, I am completely sure that the blood girl you met is Luo Ji!"
Without waiting for Mina to speak, Nord continued: "You now know how important the road through the Far East is to us, and Badel City is the throat of this road! β
"But now, Rogie is no longer the head of the family, with the slow reaction of the Blood Donation Council, Badel City will not receive any support anytime soon, this is our best chance to take it! Since a few years ago, I have prepared an army near the border, for this day! You go to the town of Nota and meet with the great magician Ves, I will immediately convene the Cardinals and issue an amnesty to Vis to send troops to Berdell!"
