Bang!

Bang!

The explosion echoed through the dungeon, deafening.

In the firelight, bullets were fired on the wooden stakes opposite the wall, and sawdust flew everywhere.

The cats living in the dungeon exploded the first time they heard the gunshots, but slowly, they ran back with their tails between their legs, followed Friday, and came up curiously.

In the deepest part of the dungeon, in the dark and damp room, Ma Wei carried two kerosene lamps, and looked at Edward in front of him with a little headache who was shooting in a different way.

The remaining four rounds in the revolver were quickly finished, and Edward pulled out of the magazine, dumping the empty cartridge casings that exuded residual warmth to the ground, and reached out his hand to Mavi with a clanging sound.

"What for?"

"Bullets, give me a whole few hundred."

"Hundreds?!"

Ma Wei's voice was out of tune: "Is it useful for you to ask for hundreds of bullets?!" ”

"It's a joke," Edward said, "It's a lot more exciting than magic.... I just don't know how powerful it actually is...."

The lord of the dignified blood clan fell in love with the revolver used by humans, Ma Wei...

Speechless.

"The pistol was stolen from someone else, and the police lost the gun is a very serious incident, so return it quickly!"

Edward's eyes rolled and readily agreed: "Yes, I'm just borrowing it anyway to play." ”

Back at the church, Ma Wei opened the door of the church and asked about the Bloodline's Secret Archive when there were no believers.

According to Edward, in addition to the magic used by the Bloods, the Bloodline's Secret Records contain many secrets, including the methods of the human gods.

"This is the supreme code of our blood clan, we can't show it to outsiders, not to mention that you can't understand it if you read it, it uses the blood clan script, and even the newly born scroll doesn't know it."

Edward refused Mavi's request to borrow the Secret Archive, "But what do you want to know, I can tell you. ”

There's so much I want to know...

In the middle of the slander, Ma Wei organized the order of questions and said: "Just now in front of Director Richard, you said that believers can obtain the power of the gods through prayer, which belongs to two ways to directly give gifts to believers, in addition, is there any other way to use the power of the gods?" ”

"Your question is too extensive," said Edward in a surging voice, "It is clearly recorded in the Mystic Texts that there are two main ways in which human gods bestow power on believers, one is to give it directly, which is the way you used before, and the other is the prayer I told Richard. ”

"Those who can directly obtain the power of the gods' gifts must be believers who can be absolutely trusted, and the power of gifts is available for a long time, and believers can use it whenever they want, and the way of prayer does not require the gods to come forward in person, but only needs to temporarily give the other party power after hearing the believer's sincere prayer."

"Although the Mystical Texts don't specify why they are divided, I think the root cause is to protect the gods."

Ma Wei nodded, his guess was about the same as Edward's.

There is a big difference between the goddess giving divine powers directly and giving gifts through prayer, the former being able to get up close and personal with the gods, while the latter can only be seen from afar.

"Is there a difference between the two ways of gaining power? Like one strong, one weak? ”

"There should be, I'm not sure, the Mystical Archive only mentions how to use it, not the difference between them." Edward's eyes narrowed: "In addition to these two ways, there is also a forbidden technique about human gods mentioned in the Mystical Codex. ”

"What forbidden technique?"

"Sacrificial magic."

Edward looked at Yunia, who was sitting next to his father and listened carefully, his face became solemn: "This seems to be the innate ability of the gods, you know that most of the human gods believe in gods, that is, they gain power through gaining faith, and the gods themselves belong to a part of this system." ”

"To put it simply, the gods themselves can also provide the power of faith."

"This situation has led to what should have been a pyramid-shaped power system, which has become a circular closed loop, where believers have no divisions of race, gender, or power, humans can become believers, animals can be believers, gods... It's okay, it's a triangle that is connected to each other! ”

Speaking of this, Edward ignored Ma Wei's uncertain gaze and said with a smile: "Last night in the castle, I said that the Church of Truth has a bright future, not only because of your bravery and wisdom. There are many brave and wise people in the world, and what really impresses me is your relationship with the gods, the gods believe in you, and you... is the real ruler of the church. ”

"Isn't it strange that humans guide the gods? But this is the key to unleashing the Forbidden Technique! ”

"I don't know how you made the gods believe in themselves wholeheartedly, but this forbidden art is the most terrible magic in the world... Well, one. ”

Letting a person let go of all their guards and fully trust themselves is the key to launching the forbidden technique, but trusting this kind of thing is very rare in the first place, as long as people belong to different individuals, it is difficult to achieve absolute trust!

The more materialistic the era, the more so.

When people are no longer simple and chase fame and fortune, how can they talk about trust?

Besides, the other party is a god in power!

"This is your treasure, the most unique thing about you, and the reason why I am willing to accept your offer and get in touch with the so-called truth..."

Edward stood up and said with emotion, "I'm curious, what kind of person can gain the absolute trust of a god?" If you can understand the essence of it... The blood clan may be able to develop and grow. ”

"You seem to be eager to develop the Bloodline." Ma Wei suddenly asked, "Why?" You already have a lot of power, so why don't you go after something more powerful and instead focus on developing your Bloodline? ”

"I'm afraid of loneliness," Edward whispered, "for two thousand years, I've been wandering in the land of the dead for two thousand years, without hustle and bustle, without joy, quiet and frightening, it's the most terrible prison in the world, enough to destroy all ambitions and desires, so when I wake up, I'm desperate to find companions, even if it's just someone to talk to..."

As he spoke, it walked out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the market for a while, order food, stop by the police... Didn't you tell me to return the gun to Commissioner Richard? ”

Swish!

Edward's body turned into a bat, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, even if the sun was blazing, it could not stop its determination.

"Dad, where is Uncle Wen?" Yunia asked, "I didn't see him after breakfast!" ”

"He? He went to Roselair. ”
