With Ilminster and Simanmon appearing at the same time at Candlefort, the atmosphere here suddenly becomes eerie.

Because anyone who is not a fool knows the long antagonism and struggle between the League of Harpers and the Santarin.

However, the interesting thing is that compared to the low-level members of the two organizations, who fight to the death as soon as they meet, the high-level performance has always been very restrained.

Manson himself is said to have maintained some sort of personal contact with the electors of the goddess of magic, such as Ilminster, and occasionally got together to exchange experiences and discuss topics related to the study of magic.

In addition, Candle Keep is an absolutely neutral place, prohibiting all forms of fighting.

So even if Simon and Ilminster lived in two rooms next to each other in the same hotel, there was no trouble.

Quite the opposite!

Both of them will maintain the most basic etiquette, and even greet each other when they meet.

In short, in the magical land of Faerun, almost anything can happen.

Even enemies who were fighting each other one second are teaming up to deal with a bigger threat the next.

Zuo Si was not interested in understanding the messy things between the Santarin Society and the Harpist Alliance, and he didn't bother to participate, so he still came to the library early in the morning every day, and waited until it was dark before he reluctantly left.

By reading a lot of books on magic, he soon collected the principles and practice methods of almost all supermagic techniques.

In addition to this, there is a lot of knowledge related to magic, as well as the advancement of arcane spell-casting classes.

Among the many advanced classes, the only ones that really piqued Zuo Si's interest were [Archmage], [Spell Guardian], [True Necromancer], [Super Spellcaster], and [Mystic].

As for professions like [Dossier Scholar], which required the consumption of mana for every copy, it was completely excluded from the beginning.

After all, the magic scrolls are one-time consumables, and they don't have any advantage over the card system of the traveling mage.

Among them, the [Archmage] can obtain a lot of special abilities that change the form and attributes of magic by sacrificing spell slots, and can often give unexpected surprises to opponents in battle, and most arcane spellcasters will choose to advance a few levels when necessary.

However, because a minimum of the Seven Rings Arcane is required, it will not be considered for the time being.

In contrast, [Spell Guardian] and [Ultra Spellcaster] require a low cast level, but they also have very harsh conditions for the former.

Among them, the [Spell Keeper] must be a part-time priest, and must choose the [Magical Field].

Although Zuo Si has the rank of priest, Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, does not have a [magic realm] to choose from, so she can only give up in tears.

In the same way, the [True Necromancer] needs to obtain the [Death Domain] because of the pre-requisite, and the [Death Domain] Talona does not have it.

Although the [Ultra Spellcaster] does not have so many pre-emptions, it needs to give up a magic school as a price when it advances.

This is a bit more than worth the loss for Zuo Si, who is determined to collect more magic.

What's more, the card system of the Brigade Mage originally came with the effects of [Spell Instant], [Spell Silence], and [Spell Fix]. …

All he needs is [Spell Strength], [Spell Extreme], [Spell Upgrade], [Spell Twin], and [Spell Delay] that can increase the power of the superdemon.

So after thinking about it again, the [Spell Emissary] was also excluded.

In the end, there was only one advanced class left, the [Mystice], which was also occasionally called the [Divine Magician].

The peculiarity of this advanced class is that it does not have any features.

The only advantage is that after each level-up, you can increase the cast level of the mage and the priest at the same time, and get the corresponding spell slot.

Since he prostituted the LV5 priest level when he gained the ability of the elector, if Zuo Si is now advanced to one level [Mystic], both the mage and the priest are equivalent to changing from the original LV5 to LV6.

And it can give full play to the advantages of high intelligence and high perception attributes.

"Alas—nine times out of ten, life is not as good as it should be. It doesn't seem like I have a better choice. Zuo Si sighed slightly and muttered to himself.

The cruel reality once again proves that the real world can never be like playing a game, which can shape and cultivate a "strong" character card in the best way.

Rather, it depends on what advanced professional knowledge you can obtain at the moment, and can meet its harsh preconditions.

Thankfully, the LV5 priest level is not counted in the mimicry level, so the mana he needs to pay to advance only needs to be stacked from the LV5 mage level.

Confirming his future path, Zuo Si quickly pulled out the second land card he had made before leaving.

[Land: Legendary Land - "Gold Capital" Ascalla Super Mage Tower]

[LV7 Multicolor Cards (Upgradeable)]

[Card Quality: Precious]

[Effect: When this card is active, it can directly provide 25 universal mana points per day, as well as an additional 5 black, white, red, green, and blue mana.]

When the card is active, and the traveling mage himself happens to be on that plane, you can directly open a portal to the mage tower for three universal or blue mana points, and it lasts for one minute.

[You don't need to consume mana to use this card]

[If the effect of this card is destroyed or destroyed by other magical forces, it will automatically enter the graveyard and wait for rebirth for 30 days]

It has to be said that this LV7 hole card is 100% worthy of its level, as well as the large amount of mana consumed in crafting.

In addition, as long as you are in the Faeron Continent or even the planet Torrell, you can directly teleport back to the Mage Tower regardless of the distance, which is as convenient as carrying the "Return to the City Scroll" and "Hearthstone" with you.

Without any hesitation!

Zuoth used the land directly and tied it to the mimic mage class.

After doing all this, he took out two spare energy storage devices from his satchel and frantically drew energy, and then added them to the [Mystic] to complete the advancement.

In fact, before he set out for Candle Castle, he had privately made some new energy storage devices that were smaller and easier to carry based on the principle of the mage tower's elemental pool.

But unlike the previous lightning storage device, it's quite dangerous. …

Not to mention ordinary people, even arcane spellcaster professions such as mages and warlocks dare not easily use the magic energy inside, and it is difficult to explode in minutes.

But Zuo Si, who has the ability to travel as a mage and creator, is not worried.

For him, as long as it is energy, it can be drawn and used.

Therefore, this device that can store energy of any attribute is almost as if it is tailor-made for itself.

After draining the two devices, the level of [Mystic] quickly reached LV2.

Now, the status of the Mimic Binding column of Left Thoughts has changed to Mage LV5/Mystic LV2.

Counting the additional bonuses to the magic equipment, the mage spell slots are 9/8/4/3 from the lowest to the highest from the first ring.

The priest's magic slot is relatively high due to its high perception attribute, so even if it is not blessed with any equipment, it still reaches 7/6/4/3.

In particular, the [Spell Immunity] in the Four Rings Divine Technique provides directional spell protection ability, while the [SMS] solves the problem of long-distance communication, and the [Dimensional Anchor] can be used to deal with the spellcasting profession without consuming a scroll every time, and can be directly made into a magic card.

In addition, there is the [Expulsion Technique], a great weapon to deal with demons, demons, and other-dimensional creatures.

At that time, there is no need to panic when encountering a high-level spellcaster who summons a legendary creature like the Barlow Flame Demon, and a single [Expulsion Technique] can drive it back to his hometown in the abyss.

As for the mage, they can learn and memorize the four-ring spells, which means that the [Stone Skin Technique], which has a strong ability to protect against physical damage, has officially joined the ranks of resident protection spells.

The powerful control magic [Ava Black Tentacles], which often appears in some of the Eighteen Forbidden Games, can now also work with [Greasy], [Cobwebs], and [Stinky Cloud] to form a forbidden area that no one can easily cross.

In addition, powerful plastic magics such as [Wall of Fire], [Ice Storm], [Flame Explosion], [Chain Explosion], and [Flame Surge] will also greatly enhance the burst and endurance in battle.

There is no doubt that this upgrade is definitely a quantitative change to a qualitative change for Zuo Si.

It is estimated that for a long time to come, all he has to do is learn all the known four-ring magic, and then do his best to make all the arcane and divine magic into cards.

Plus, with more and more money spent and less money left, it seems that this trip to Candlecastle is finally coming to an end.

A few days earlier, Sir Christiane had set out for Ascatra with the members of the Amm Legation.

Therefore, Zuo Si planned to wait until he was done with the debate held by Ullanth, the "Guardian of the Scroll", to read the precious knowledge recorded in the most secret room of Candle Castle.

Then consider whether to just open the portal and go back, or continue north to Waterdeep.

Unlike Ilminster's philosophy of using magic as little as possible and with care.

He prefers to apply magic to his daily life, especially to avoid meaningless long journeys.

……

Time flies, and three days have passed in a flash.

When Zuo Si was led by the priest to the debate hall, he found that there were not only Ilminster and Simmanmon, but also many high-ranking people from the churches of the major gods, as well as some well-known scholars from nearby cities. …

Judging by the number and size, it is clear that this is not a simple philosophical debate, but also a struggle between many gods and sects.

After all, whoever wins the debate is a free propaganda campaign to convince more people that their idea of God is correct.

"Ahh His Excellency Soth, the Elector of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, has finally arrived. Come and sit down over there, the debate is about to begin. I very much look forward to hearing your views and statements. Ullant urged, pointing to a chair not far away.

It can be seen that this "Guardian of the Scroll", who usually has a serious face and a serious face, looks very excited today.

After everyone was seated, he walked to the center of the room, raised his hands to signal all the guests who were still whispering to be quiet, and then said in an unhurried voice: "Everyone, welcome to the invitation to come to Candlecastle for this debate. I believe each of you knows that the opposition between order and chaos, the conflict between evil and good, is the eternal theme of this world. ”

"And neutrality and balance!"

A druid in leather armor next to him reminded.

"That's right! There is also neutrality and balance. I'm sorry I just ignored that. Ullant hurriedly added.

Immediately after, he turned around and continued: "The topic we are going to discuss today is about these opposites and conflicts. There are no restrictions on this debate, and everyone is free to express their views or refute the views of others. ”

"I'll come first!"

A priest wearing the emblem of Tyre, the god of justice, was the first to stand up and spoke in an impassioned voice: "In my opinion, the world should be orderly, or at least develop in the direction of order, otherwise civilization and cities cannot be built at all. In the same way, the embodiment of order is the law, and the law must be formulated and implemented in accordance with the principles of fairness and justice, and all people must abide by it. Otherwise, the whole society will inevitably fall into turmoil......"

"I'm against it!"

Another pastor of the Church of Shirek suddenly stood up and interrupted.

After getting permission from Ullant, he began to sneer and mock: "You say that the world should be ordered? Should all people obey the law?

So why do so many people choose to take the path of crime?

Because there is a violent, murderous and unleashed nature hidden in everyone!

Your so-called order and law are killing this nature!

No!

The world has never been orderly!

The so-called law is nothing more than a trick used by you hypocrites to fool the people into consolidating their rule.

The truth of the world is chaos and disorder, and there is never any fairness or justice.

You and your God are just deceiving yourself.

Only by believing in the great Dark Sun Hirek can he be saved. ”

Zuo Si, who was sitting on the side and listening, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard these nonsense words.

Shirek's followers never disappoint.

However, the priest of the God of Justice was obviously not a vegetarian either, and immediately began to fight back.

The two soon ensued a heated debate in front of the public. …

Not surprisingly, the debate quickly escalated into personal attacks on each other, even against each other's gods.

In the end, they couldn't tell the winner in words, and chose to use physical means (fists) to silence each other.

However, the heated "exchange" lasted only a dozen seconds, and was soon forcibly pulled away by the other participants in the debate.

Seeing this familiar scene, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Sure enough, all debates will inevitably evolve into this way in the end." If you can't persuade verbally, you can use physical persuasion, and if you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who raised the problem. The latter is always simpler and more effective than the former. ”

"You seem to be very unimpressed by this debate?"

An old man with gray hair and beard in the next seat asked with great interest.

"Of course." Zuo Si gave a straightforward affirmative answer. "In a world full of gods and beliefs, discussing good and evil, order and chaos is a pointless thing to do. For as long as the gods exist and can empower those believers, disputes like this will never stop. Debates like the one just now are not so much about the debate itself as it is about promoting one's own doctrine of serving the gods and attacking the teachings of the church of the gods that are hostile. ”

"What should a real debate look like in your mind?" The old man continued to ask with a smile on his face.

"The real debate should be a pure philosophy that abandons religion and belief. It is based on a relatively rational thinking, as well as the cognition and summary of the objective world. Otherwise, it will become a pure mutual attack as it is now, with no communication and discussion at all. Zuo Si casually said his opinion.

"Makes sense." The old man nodded thoughtfully. What is your view of the conflict between good and evil, order and chaos? Or which side are you on? ”

Zuo Si replied with a meaningful smile: "In my opinion, it is a mistake to look at good and evil, order and chaos from the perspective of duality.

For whether it is good or evil, order or chaos, it is essentially a whole that is both opposing and unified.

It's as if without evil as a reference, is it possible for goodness to stand on its own?

The answer is clearly no.

And most importantly, who defines the criteria for good and evil?

Is it God?

If it is God, then what is God's basis?

I believe that the boundaries between good and evil are not static, but will change over time, the improvement of living standards, and the development of civilization and society.

In ancient times, the Creator Race, the Witch, believed that it was sacred and righteous to sacrifice to the Great Serpent of the Universe.

Those who voluntarily participated in the sacrifice could even receive the same high social status and treatment as a prince or princess for a period of time before death.

But from the current point of view, the bloody and cruel living sacrifice is undoubtedly recognized as evil.

On top of that, I'm curious as to why cannibalism is considered neutral when beasts are hungry, and it's evil for Mind Flayers to eat the brains of humanoids in order to survive?

Is it because the Mind Flayer possesses intelligence that they are capable of generating so-called "evil" thoughts, and depriving them of the right to live and eat? …

And is it good or bad to use the undead for agricultural production and then distribute the food to the poor who are suffering from hunger?

If a paladin is taken hostage by bandits, he is asked to kill another innocent person, or all five hostages will be executed.

How should the holy warriors choose at this time?

Is it to kill innocent people and save a larger number of hostages?

Or refuse the other party's request and watch the hostages executed?

If the latter, then is the paladin suspected of being degraded by not being saved?

If a man's actions are good or evil if the process of overthrowing tyranny and establishing a new and better order inevitably leads to the deaths of many civilians?

There are many more examples of such blurred and contradictory lines, and I will not list them all.

Good and evil are inherently very subjective, and their criteria should not be set in stone, but should be decided according to the public perception of people in each region.

The same is true of order and chaos.

Absolute order will bring about the solidification of ideas and classes, and will make the whole society become lifeless, and eventually inevitably lead to collapse and destruction.

Absolute chaos simply cannot exist.

Because even the most chaotic orcs, dark elves, and demon societies must follow certain orders and rules to maintain.

Order is the cornerstone of civilization, and for better or worse, people cannot come together in large numbers to form tribes, cities, and even civilizations.

Chaos represents a kind of change, without which there would be no invention, no change of country and history, and no possibility of promoting the development of society.

So my core point is that everything in the world has different contradictions, big and small, which are both opposing and unified.

As an individual, you don't need to be obsessed with believing that either side is right or not, you just need to make judgments based on your own values.

Sometimes actions based on order and goodness do not always lead to good results, and actions of chaos and evil do not always lead to killing and destruction.

As for the gods, they are indeed influencing the world all the time.

But in the same way, they will also be changed by the influence of mortal believers.

Look at the Cosmos Serpent that the witches believed in in the past, didn't it split into several different gods to meet the needs of different believers such as snake people and lizard people? ”

As these remarks came out, all the people in the neighborhoods who heard them began to applaud one after another.

The unknown old man praised without hesitation: "Wonderful! It's so exciting! It's the first time I've heard such an interesting, original, and unbiased perspective. ”

"Agreed! In a land influenced by gods and beliefs, it is rare to be able to think outside of these two points. Another man dressed as a scholar chimed in.

"yes. God and faith influence our thinking and life in every way, and it is not easy to get rid of them. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that our world is plunged into an eternal struggle. But can God really be changed by mortals? I'm skeptical. ”…

An old woman who looked to be in her early sixties sighed.

In the face of these praises, Zuo Si shook his head disappreciatively: "There is no unbiased knowledge and opinions, and the so-called absolute objectivity has never existed. Because pride and prejudice exist in the hearts of all of us, and no one is exempt. ”

"Oh? Is it true that books and knowledge are the same? The unknown old man asked with a smile.

"Of course! It seems to me that all books and knowledge are made up of innumerable prejudices, because their authors are intelligent beings with prejudice and arrogance.

Even natural phenomena such as storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis can lead to diametrically opposed conclusions when viewed from different angles.

One of the most representative is the perception of magic by all the civilized races from ancient times to the present.

When the Creator Race Witches ruled the world, what they thought of as magic was what they recorded on the Golden Skin of the Cosmos Serpent.

These records were later discovered by the Netherreans and became the Nethrel Scrolls that shaped the foundation of modern magic.

Immediately after more than 10,000 years ago, the elves crossed time and space to come to Faeron, and at the same time brought their own High Elf magic.

It was a power that fused one's own spirit and soul with the entire elven race and even with the elven gods.

Through rituals and absolute trust in each other, elven mages can move mountains and seas, and even tear the earth apart with terrifying magic.

Later, two human magical civilizations, Nethrel and Imasca, rose one after another.

The former created this professional arcanist, shaping the rudiments of the modern magical system;

The latter took the crafting of strange objects and portals to the extreme, giving birth to the Wonder Mechanic profession.

See, it's the same magic, but there are so many branches born between different races and civilizations because of the cognitive differences.

Isn't this the best proof that what objectively exists is influenced by subjective factors?

Even today, arcane spellcasters can be divided into various classes, such as mages, warlocks, bards, and more. ”

Facing the gazes of countless people around him, Zuo Si talked eloquently without stage fright.

At this moment, everyone else in the room had stopped debating and were listening attentively to what he had to say.

You must know that the continent of Faeron is a very typical dualistic world, where almost all people and gods believe that confrontation and conflict are inevitable.

Even the neutral minority is advocating a delicate balance between the two, nothing more.

No one has ever put forward a theory of opposition and unity, and no one has realized the truth that "everything that refers is prejudice".

Not to mention the fact that the gods themselves are an extreme and prejudiced assemblage that aspires to reshape the world according to their own will.

Their influence on the material world exacerbates the pre-existing contradictions, leaving the world in a state of perpetual turmoil.

Due to the limitations of cognition and thinking, no one has ever been aware of this before.

But today, Zuo Si has lifted this veil and shown its essence to everyone. …

When he finished the last word, the whole room fell silent, everyone bowed their heads in contemplation, and others remembered how many arrogant and prejudiced mistakes they had made.

After all, all those who can be invited to participate in this kind of debate are invariably very knowledgeable.

They may fight for their own views and positions, but they will never ignore those new ideas that are truly valuable, and will even incorporate them into their own teachings to serve the gods as a supplement.

It didn't take long for the debate, chaired by Ullant, to an early conclusion with no speakers.

Zuo Si, on the other hand, unsurprisingly emerged as the undisputed victor, gaining access to the most secret room in Candlekeep.

But time is rigidly limited to four hours.

In other words, within these four hours, he can read all the books and scrolls in it at will.

When the time comes, it will be teleported by magic.

I have to say that Candle Castle attaches 100% importance to knowledge, and it can crown the entire Faren Continent 100%.

No wonder some people say that books are more important than human life in Candlecastle.

Led by the "First Reader", Zuo Si soon passed through a strange door.

Immediately after, he realized that he had actually left Faeron in the moment just now, and he couldn't sense the location of the Mage Tower through the bound land cards.

Here, there is nothing left except for the massive number of shelves, books, and scrolls removed at a glance.

You don't have to ask to know that the secret library of Candlekeep is actually a half-plane connected to a portal.

"Here we are. This is the secret room that houses the most powerful and precious magic scrolls and books. Unlike the outside library, you can transcribe any books and spells yourself. But please be sure to pay attention to the time, otherwise the copy will be sent out halfway, and we will not be responsible. The old man in a red monk's robe admonished.

"Got it, thank you very much."

Zuo Sichong owed a little to the other party, and then walked straight to the first bookshelf to pick up the book and began to read it at a very fast speed.

Although four hours was a very short time, with the strong memory of the [Mind Library], he was sure to scan most of the books.

If you encounter something like a spell or a mantra that you can't memorize directly, put it away and wait for the next time.

Anyway, the Candle Castle is here, and it won't run away.

Seeing the appearance of the young man in front of him about these books and knowledge, the "first reader" couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then turned around and left alone.

……

For a person who is preoccupied, time always flies exceptionally fast.

Four hours passed in a flash.

At the moment when Zuo Si closed the last book and put it back on the shelf, he suddenly found that there was a person standing behind him at some point.

And he was the mysterious old man who sat next to him during the previous debate.

"Hello, young man."

The old man politely took the initiative to say hello.

"Who are you? When did it appear here? No, no, I should have asked how you got in. ”…

Zuo Si subconsciously frowned, staring at the other party's eyes full of wisdom.

"My name is Ogma, and some call me the God of Knowledge, and some call me the Naming One." The old man identified himself with a smile.

Moment!

An expression of disbelief appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Because this was already the third incarnation of a god he had seen with his own eyes since he came to Faerun.

However, compared to Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and Ilmat, the god of suffering, this powerful divine power did not have the slightest slight, let alone release its divine power to make people feel suffocating and oppressive.

Quite the opposite!

Ogma seems to be a humble and wise scholar, always listening to the opinions and ideas of everyone around him.

No matter how ridiculous and crazy these views and ideas may be.

Fortunately, Zuo Si had already had the experience of talking to the gods, so after a short period of shock, he quickly returned to normal, and asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure: "As the god of knowledge, you don't know why you came to me?" ”

"Do you need to ask? For the sake of the precious knowledge from another world, of course. ”

The god of knowledge did not try to hide anything, and generously stated his purpose.

Since Ogma's two main priesthoods were knowledge and invention, Zuosi from another world seemed to him like a delicious meal.

If the previous debate was just an appetizer, now is the time for the main course.

"Just for knowledge?" Zuo Si asked rhetorically with deep suspicion.

When the god of knowledge heard this, he couldn't help but laugh immediately: "Hahahaha! Well, I admit that not only knowledge, but also yourself. In fact, if it weren't for Talona, I would be more than happy to have you as my voter. Because you and I are very compatible in terms of attitude towards knowledge. And if I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be a traveling mage, right? ”

"You know the Brigade Mage?!" Zuo Si was suddenly shocked.

Because this was the first time that he was directly exposed to his face, the identity he had been trying to hide was exposed, and the whole person immediately fell into a strong sense of crisis.

But Ogma comforted him disapprenosingly: "Relax, there's no need to be so nervous, I don't have any ill will towards you."

Not to mention, before I became a god, I was also a traveler, I had traveled to many worlds, met traveling mages like you, and knew that you had the power to easily cross planes, crystal walls, and even the universe.

That's why I think we should be good collaborators.

Unlike Talona and other gods who hide in the shadows and spy on you, I don't need your faith, my service, and you to sow the seeds of faith.

I just want to borrow your eyes to observe the world that you can't reach, and record all kinds of unprecedented landscapes, knowledge, books and inventions.

In return, I can provide you with protection against the evil gods, including Talona.

And promise that if one day Talona takes back the power of the elect from you, I will make you your own chosen one and provide you with a priesthood rank and magic.

In addition, the gates of the Candle Castle are always open to you, and all my temples will provide you with free services and assistance. ”…

"So...... Is this a deal? Zuo Si raised his head and said tentatively.

"That's right! That's the deal. Ogma nodded thoughtlessly.

Figuring out the intentions of the God of Knowledge, Zuo Si was visibly relieved.

Obviously, unlike the goddess of poison and disease, who made him completely confused, the one in front of him had a very clear goal.

And as a neutral god, Ogmar has never liked to get things done, and that alone is quite reassuring.

Coupled with the other party's promise to give asylum, Zuo Si quickly replied after a little thought: "Deal." I agree with the conditions you prescribe and am very honored to be your eyes on the world. ”

Hearing this answer, the God of Knowledge immediately smiled happily: "Great! Now let me see that you have all the interesting facts recorded in your head......"

As he spoke, Ogma reached out and gently touched Zuo Si's forehead.

Moment!

The latter felt a divine power enter his brain and soul.

Immediately after that, consciousness and memory began to lose control, and everything recorded in the [Mind Library] quickly flashed in front of his eyes.

In just a few seconds or so, when the God of Knowledge withdrew his finger, Zuo Si's whole person collapsed first, and he almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.

Thanks to his quick reaction and timely holding on to the huge bookshelf next to him, he barely fell down.

Ogma, who had all the memories, fell into some kind of inexplicable excitement and walked up and down the gap in the bookshelf.

As he walked, he was still muttering words that others didn't understand.

It took him a long time before he finally recovered from that strange behavior, and he exclaimed, "Incredible! It's incredible!

It turns out that a world without gods and magic can develop to this extent!

Philosophy! Science! Dialectics! Materialism......

Growing up in such an environment, it's no wonder you don't have a sense of reverence for God.

But the last world you experienced was also interesting.

Although he has no connection with Feeron, he has developed a floating city technology that is very similar to the Netharel civilization.

It seems that you, as a traveling mage, are indeed the most suitable to be my chosen one. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. But next time, can you please say hello in advance when you read your memory? I feel as uncomfortable as if I've been trampled on by a hundred elephants. Zuo Si complained angrily.

"Hahahaha! Sorry, I'm so excited. As compensation, let me help you upgrade this magic ring. ”

As he spoke, the God of Knowledge stretched out his hand and touched the [Ring of Sharp Storage].

Before Zuo Si could react to what was happening, he saw that the ring on his hand, whether it was the shape or the material, had undergone a fundamental change.

Originally, spells that could only store no more than six levels were now directly upgraded to ten levels.

The arcane spell slots from one to the four rings are increased by one, and the arcane and divine spell slots from level one to nine are all added by one.

In addition, it is also blessed with [Avoidance Detection], [True Knowledge], and [Scholar's Touch]. …

Avoidance detection can minimize the detection and localization of prophecy magic.

True Perception can directly see through all illusions, shapeshifting magic, invisible units, darkness created by magic, hidden secret doors, and so on.

The Scholar's Touch can read a book in an instant by touching the cover, and combined with the ability of the [Thinking Library], a huge library can be emptied in just ten or twenty minutes.

It can be said that they are all very useful permanent magic effects.

Obviously, this ring, which has been transformed by Ogma, is definitely a powerful magical item.

Among them, the addition of arcane and divine spell slots at the same time is simply tailor-made for the [Mystic] profession.

"Thank you very much."

Zuo Si touched his chest with one hand and bowed.

"You're welcome, you deserve it. Compared to that precious knowledge, a mere magic ring is nothing at all. In addition, I will give you a pair of eyes of knowledge to better record, understand and read the hidden knowledge. ”

As he spoke, Ogma suddenly released a dazzling white light from his eyes.

And the moment Zuo Si was irradiated, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his eyeballs.

Then an indescribable force begins to gather in the pupil, and when a certain critical point is reached, the structure of the eye is turned upside down.

When his eyesight returned, he could tell the shelves and books almost at a glance.

Spells and symbols that previously required careful study and research can now be understood and transformed into deep memories at a glance.

There is no doubt that this is the Eye of Knowledge, an ability that borders on cheating.

Not only did it successfully make up for the drawbacks of the [Thinking Library] not being able to store memory spells, but it also gave Zuo Si a sharper sense of observation.

If you are in battle, you can not only instantly distinguish the effects and uses of all the magic equipment on the opponent's body, but also quickly identify the spell being cast from complex gestures and arcane aura.

"How are you feeling right now?" Ogma asked with a smile.

Zuo Si got used to it a little, and quickly responded: "It's not bad." I seem to be able to see the inner and outer connections of everything, including magic. ”

"That's right! This is the greatest use of the Eye of Knowledge. It does not give you great power, nor does it give you any knowledge, but it can help you understand the nature of everything in the world. Come on, young traveling mage, I look forward to bringing you more and more interesting things back from your next trip to another world. ”

After saying this, an expectant expression appeared on Ogma's face, and then the whole person disappeared without a trace in a ray of light.

In this way, Zuo Si and the God of Knowledge completed a secret deal in an unknown half-plane.

Except for the two parties involved, even Ullant, the "Guardian of the Scroll" of Candlekeep, knew nothing about it.

No one realized that the old man who seemed to be kind and wise in the debate was in fact the embodiment of Ogma.

And he achieved his goal almost effortlessly.

This is a far cry from the previous time when Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, made such a big fuss, only to be interrupted halfway by Ilmat, the god of suffering.

Obviously, God is just like man.

Ogmar, the god of knowledge who has survived from time immemorial to the present day, is far superior in wisdom and power to Talona.
