Chapter 2: The Secret of Magic (Subscription Requested!! )
When Mavi returned to the captain's room, Yunia had fallen asleep under the quilt, and the communication was sitting behind a desk nearly two meters wide, and with the help of the faint light of the kerosene lamp, he and Fat Orange Blackie were flipping through the dictionary together.
Edward never used a bed to sleep, and I don't know why he had to abandon the soft and comfortable mattress instead of turning into a bat and hanging on the ceiling, maybe...
This is the habit of the Bloodline.
Ma Wei didn't know.
"Boss, you're back."
Hearing the door open, the source raised his head, took off his glasses, rubbed his dazed head and asked, "How's the situation?" ”
"Everything works."
Mavi gently closed the heavy iron door, sat down at the table, and glanced at the two bowls of suspicious soup in the corner, "Brother Sergei sent it?" ”
"Well, they said that this is the cold warming soup of the hometown, drink it to warm up, the taste is a little strange, but it is not unpleasant, meat and pumpkin are added to it, the goddess is not interested, I left you a bowl."
"I'm not hungry, you can drink it all." Ma Wei took out a mint leaf and put it in his mouth to chew, and said absent-mindedly.
"I was just looking through the window..."
Looking around, the communication lowered his voice: "I saw that you and Her Royal Highness Katerina had been chatting for a long time at the bow of the ship, what were you talking about?" ”
"She said that she had the eyeliner planted by King Paul I by her side, and she wanted to use this voyage to find out."
"What, is the inner ghost on the ship?!"
"Not sure, but most likely." Ma Wei said: "Not to mention that these crew members are carefully selected by Katerina, just the sea voyage cannot transmit information, and it is enough to be prohibitive if there is a situation that cannot be reported at the first time, so Katerina speculates that the ghost is likely to be someone else." ”
"And how did she use this voyage to find the other party?" The communication wondered: "She is on the boat, and she doesn't know what is happening on the ground..."
"Not many people know about her coming to the Windsor Kingdom, if the news leaks, won't you be able to determine a general range?"
"I see," the source nodded, "I shouldn't be able to let you talk for more than half an hour on this matter, right?" ”
"She also told me some secrets about magic."
Hearing this, the communication suddenly became interested, and the fat orange Xiaohei also cheered up and cast his eyes.
"Among the surviving texts of the Apocalypse Church, there is a record of magic copied by later generations, which records that there are three main types of magic."
Ma Wei said as he chewed: "They are ancient magic, main god magic, and natural magic, and in general, they can be called general-purpose, special-purpose, and limited-type magic. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Ancient magic was developed and created by human beings little by little, since I don't know how many years ago, human beings began to study the occult and try to build and create magic arrays, these magic has no restrictions on use, as long as you have the gift of the gods, you can use it."
Ma Wei put the Sapphire Siren's Tears on the table: "The Siren's Tears and the Heart of the Jungle that you obtained should belong to the category of ancient magic, in addition to us, the believers of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate and the Wisdom God Cult can also use it, which is the crystallization of human wisdom." ”
"In order to preserve magic for a long time and to make it better used... Well, this belongs to materials science, in short, the sages fused magic arrays into gems or some precious objects to prevent destruction. ”
Who is going to have trouble with the treasure?
For example, in the case of the communication, he picked up an ordinary broken stone on the street and threw it in a corner, but if he had picked up a brilliant gem, he would have kept it safe.
Even if it changes hands after countless transactions in the future, the probability of the gem being retained is far higher than that of other worthless items.
This is again a problem of probability and psychology.
"Where's the magic of the main god?" "We've heard that more than once," the source asked. ”
"The magic of the main god is actually the magic that was born when the gods awakened." Mavi took out the golden ring he had taken from Bishop Fowler's hand, "The realm of eternal life is the magic of the main god of Wild, the goddess of health, and only the goddess of health and the believers who have received her gifts can use it. ”
"Awakening?"
The communication looked at Yunia who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and her eyes widened: "Can the goddess still awaken?" ”
"This is recorded in the classics, but the specific way and method of awakening are not clear." Ma Wei sighed: "The magic records copied by later generations are incomplete, and more than half of the pages and chapters have been lost. ”
"Does it know something?" The source raised an eyebrow at the bat hanging from the ceiling.
"You mean the Bloodline Secret Archive?" Ma Wei shook his head and said, "I asked before, the Secret Archive of the Blood Clan only records things that are beneficial to the Blood Clan, such as the means that the enemy may use and the magic used by the Blood Clan, how can the awakening methods of the human gods be recorded in it?" ”
"What about natural magic? I've never heard that before. ”
"As the name suggests, natural magic is a giant magic array that is launched using terrain, stars or other special conditions, this kind of magic is usually born naturally, requires extremely large strength to launch, and must also use a specific flow direction, node penetration, sometimes even if you find it, you may not be able to find it, and if you find it, you may not be able to use it normally."
"Didn't the classics say where there was a natural magic array?" The source blinked: "Such a powerful thing, once activated, it should be very powerful!" ”
"Powerful is certain, but the terrain of nature has been subtly changing, and it may be that the natural magic that was used normally hundreds of years ago was destroyed because of a catastrophe, and it is more powerful than stable."
Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "This information is extremely important to us, at least we can be sure that there were gods who did exist many years ago, but for some reason they fell silent again. ”
Recalling the murals they saw in the Black Fort of the Blood Clan, combined with the surviving texts of the Apocalypse Divine Cult, they didn't dare to say that the era dominated by the gods must have existed, this is beyond doubt.
"How did the gods come to an end when they were so powerful?" The source was amazed: "Could it be the power of science? But hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was no steam engine, how could you defeat the gods? ”
"Alchemy...," Ma Wei said suddenly.
"What?"
The text was stunned for a moment, of course he knew that alchemy, a mysterious field that was too old to be ancient, but could alchemy compete with the gods?
"Alchemy is the condensation of human wisdom... This is just my speculation, I can't be sure. Ma Wei pondered: "As far as I know, alchemy includes dozens of complex disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials, philosophy, spirituality, and language. Maybe it can really exert a special and powerful power. ”
Alchemy is just a name for the occult, and in the torrent of history, there are similar cultural crystallizations all over the world and in all countries, complex and magnificent, and it is a field that most people cannot reach.
Since they have existed and been handed down to the present, it shows that they occupy a high enough historical and cultural status and have played an indelible role in the development of mankind.
Isn't science what people call it now a subject like mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.?
Looking at the essence through appearances, the most different thing between science and alchemy is that science does not have mystical things, they are all analysis and calculation, but these missing, mystical things...
Isn't that exactly what their world has?
