Chapter 10: The Way Forward and Ambition

To use the master's things, you must get the master's permission, which is why all magic spells contain the true name of God, and it is also the true meaning of Robben's statement that no magic can exist without divine power.

It's as if the priest is shouting every time he casts the fireball technique: "God, borrow me to use the ignition element!"

Then the omnipresent god sensed it, and when he agreed, he nodded: "Okay!"

With a bang, the fireball technique appeared.

But sometimes the gods disagree, saying that your heart is not sincere, you are a heretic, and Lao Tzu will not give it.

So the man shouted the spell for a long time and posed for a long time, but there was no movement at all......

But is that the truth?

Jerry didn't dare to say it, even in the face of the gray-robed old man who responded to his needs, he didn't dare to ask this sentence either.

But his heart was full of doubts.

The reason is simple, because he has never been educated in the orthodox system of priesthood, and he has never even had a true belief in the god of light.

But on the contrary, he came into contact with the magic element before he came into contact with these, and it was the art of transforming armor that he invented.

The reason why he was able to transform his armor into stronger was the magical effect of the magic element.

But did he call God's true name then?

No, not even the Great God.

If the magic element was really under the complete control of that god, then how he had urged the elemental to transform the armor without permission at that time made no sense at all.

Unless, Robben, the gray-robed old man, and all the priests in this world are lying.

Or maybe they've all been deceived!

Jerry's mind buzzed, and he subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

Now his idea is not only bold, but also whimsical to the point of rebellion.

Because if that's the case, who else is deceiving them?

It can only be a god!

But what is the point of the gods doing this, and what can the great being gain from it?

Jerry didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't contain his thoughts, and even planned to verify it himself.

He had even figured out how to verify it!

Through the guidance of the gray-robed old man, Jerry now has a certain degree of understanding of the two major career systems.

In terms of the warrior system, he originally thought that he would be promoted from adventurer to warrior apprentice, then from warrior apprentice to full warrior, then to defender, and finally to the top of the paladin.

But now he knew that not only was the warrior system far from so simple, but the process was not as simple and smooth as he thought.

If the defender is called a second-order class, and the paladin is called a top-level class, then there is not only a defender in the second-order class of the warrior series, but there is also a powerful existence called a mercenary outside the temple.

This is not an ordinary member of the mercenary guild, but a separate profession that is so hidden that ordinary people do not know about it, they are developed by these warriors who cannot be promoted to defenders in countless life and death experiences without tasks, and unlike defenders who specialize in defense and protection, mercenaries are more balanced in attack and defense.

It was at the same time that Jerry learned the news that he also found himself facing the same problem as these people, and that was that he would most likely not be able to advance to the defender level either.

To be promoted to a defender, you need not only the level of fighting spirit or combat power, but also the penetration of divine power, because the defender is a profession exclusive to the temple.

Those people didn't have the so-called piety for various reasons, and they couldn't get the approval of the temple, so naturally they couldn't get the divine power to advance to the defenders.

Jerry had the same problem, if he was strong enough to participate in that ceremony, but Jerry was sure he didn't have the devotion to the god of light.

The impact is not only that, if Jerry is really just a teenager from the countryside, now he can only choose the path of warrior, defender, and paladin.

But now he is not an ordinary teenager, whether he admits it or not, he has the Book of Destiny and has walked on a path without his predecessors.

Now he is not only a warrior, but also an unrecognized alt, and he is able to use magic by reciting the true name of the gods, but he cannot use the most powerful divine arts that rely entirely on divine grace.

This makes him a unique martial demon initiate, no one can say where he will go in the future, but his future is destined to be full of thorns.

Without piety, it would be difficult for him to go too far on the path of the paladin, and it would be difficult for the defender to get over the hurdle. In the same way, he was unable to expose his status as a priest to the world, especially from letting the temple know that he had mastered magic.

But now that he has embarked on this path of dual-line initiation, it is impossible for him to give up again, and he cannot allow himself to go to the opposite side of the temple, at least not now.

Because he also needed the resources here, such as the rest of the Library of Light, the vast amount of books and knowledge in them.

Just such a small area has allowed him to gain so much, the level of the warrior is close to the level of the third level, although the level of the priest has just entered the first level, he understands that his starting point is quite high, and he believes that he will be able to advance again soon.

And the more than 490,000 treasures that were copied and collected by the Book of Destiny have become his greatest wealth, like a fountain of wisdom, which can benefit him immensely for a long time.

He couldn't imagine what would happen when he took the entire Library of Light into his arms, but it was sure to be of great benefit to him.

Not to leave the temple, not to give up the dual line of initiates, this is the decision in Jerry's heart.

And back to the present, there are many problems in front of him, the first of which is what he discovered after he was promoted to a believer, and he has a special skill that is different from others - intellectual strength!

When he was just a warrior apprentice, he found that every time he advanced, his intelligence state increased more than other attribute states.

But at the time he didn't understand the effect of this unusual increase, until he later possessed a flow of mana, and he was vaguely aware of the connection between intelligence attributes and mana.

But now that he has truly entered the level of believer, all the difficult questions about intellectual attributes are instantly clear.

This peculiarity in him makes his intelligence increase more than one and a half times that of his peers after each promotion, that is, when he completes the sixth level of the believer, his intelligence state will be about ten times that of others.

Such a strong state of intelligence will be completely manifested in the power of his magic, and the same fireball technique will have several times more power than ordinary people.

It's just that this kind of power will only be reflected in ordinary magic, and these low-level magic mobilized by reciting the true name of the god is obviously not controlled by the gods, and the magic power is directly linked to a person's intellectual attributes.

But at a higher level, such as the level of divine magic, the intelligence attribute has nothing to do with a person's magical power, and the effect of divine magic will depend entirely on the amount of divine grace. There is only one role left for the intelligence attribute itself, which is the total amount of divine power that a person can withstand.

Although his super intelligence attribute allows him to receive more divine power and perform more divine arts, the premise is that the gods are willing to descend divine grace on him, and this will obviously not be related to him.

In this way, even if he only intends to use the Paladin's route as a disguise, he can accept the price of not being able to advance to the rank of defender, and his hidden path to the priest will not go far.

At the believer level, the influence of divine magic is not great, after all, there is only a powerful divine technique such as the radiant arrow that Robben once used.

But when it comes to the sage level, the proportion of divine arts is greatly increased. According to what the gray-robed old man told him, all the magic used at the Great Sage level was divine magic, and ordinary magic had no meaning of existence at that level.

As for letting him go directly to the priest's route, it is even more impossible.

Not to mention that this kind of specialization and profession of curing diseases and saving people does not match the dream he insists on, the various skills of the priest family alone belong to the category of divine arts, and he can't even get past the most basic first step.

What to do?

Over the next two days, Jerry struggled to absorb countless knowledge, trying his best to familiarize himself with his newfound skills as a believer, while also thinking about his own confused road ahead.

Either he, like everyone else, believes in or even dedicates everything he has to the god of light, reciting the god's true name and begging for the gods' gifts.

But can he do it? Even if he did, was he still him?

Jerry didn't want to do it, he couldn't do it, he had lost a life, he had lost a world, and now he didn't want to lose his own heart.

But if he doesn't do this, where will he still have a way to go, the so-called peak and the so-called strongest are just a joke at all.

Unless, he has a new choice.

It had to be a new class based on magic, one that didn't require or rely on charisma.

But where in this world is there such a profession?

Believers, sages and priests, great sages and bishops, and judges, how can the theocratic world escape the gaze of the gods when it comes.

Jerry fell into deep thought, until he suddenly felt a flash in front of him, and realized that before he knew it, the three-day deadline had been reached, and he was automatically sent out by the magic array of the Holy Light Library.

Standing up, Jerry looked back at the tower, which was originally inconspicuous, but now seemed incomparably huge in the light, and his heart trembled.

Now he knew that the tower, named the Library of Light, had indeed appeared before the temple.

At that time, when the world was not shrouded in theocracy, human beings built such a towering tower with their own strength, and recorded the crystallization of the wisdom of this world inside.

How did they do it?

Jerry had never thought about this question before, but now that he suddenly remembered it, it was as if he had seen the scene of that era, and the majestic scene of people building the world on their own.

If it is said that human beings already had such power at that time, did it mean that the first professional system had already appeared at that time, did it say......

These top powers, which are now covered under divine power, were originally created by human beings themselves!
