Chapter 197: The Price of Being a God (Subscription Requested)

Speaking of this, Vittorio looked at memories, he knew very little about this very long history, only that there was a protracted war on this continent in order to compete for more faith.

In the end, there was no doubt that the Holy See had won the final victory, and it also put an end to the chaos of the previous kingdoms, and united eleven kingdoms and dozens of grand duchies into one large empire.

"So those evil gods are powerful wizards who have failed to compete for faith?" Lynn guessed.

He could understand why the Holy See had repeatedly suppressed the Witches.

For one, every powerful wizard is a potential threat, a contender for faith.

Second, if great power can be obtained through another way other than faith, the influence of the Holy See will inevitably be greatly weakened.

As for those who have good gifts, it is entirely possible to incorporate them into the theological system through baptism of faith, to take up the office of bishop or cardinal.

"It can be said that according to my understanding, there are also many evil gods who come from some kind of existence outside this continent." Vittorio's expression became a little solemn, and he quickly continued to explain.

In short, psionic magic is a shortcut to power, but it is also a poison-wrapped honey that immerses people in rapidly increasing power, and even if it is a belief method, it is not without flaws.

Those evil gods who try to use the bond of faith and harvest the souls of the faithful to increase their power will inevitably be affected in the process.

The horror of it lies in the fact that it will subtly affect the object of worship, after all, because believers believe in their own gods.

So far, Vittorio had not heard of any way to eradicate this soul contamination once and for all.

Personality modification? Lynn shuddered.

In other words, the price of rapid power gain is the loss of self?

The fate of the evil mage Merck is the best demonstration, as his power gradually increases, his image becomes closer to the elemental spirit, and his temperament will also change greatly.

"Even the Holy See's ......" Lynn wanted to say [Ella], but remembered that Vittorio had stopped Cahemo from telling the other party's full name, so he quickly changed his words. Is that one no exception? ”

"Perhaps." Vittorio shook his head. "She has gone deeper on this path than anyone else, and hundreds of years have passed since she won the War of Faith, and no one knows what state she is in now, the only thing that can be imagined is that her strength must have grown to an extremely terrifying level."

Harrov on the side gave an affirmative answer. "I don't think even that one can solve this problem completely, otherwise the wizarding lands would have been wiped out long ago."

Because of this, the Council of Magic imposed strict requirements on the study of psionic magic, and this restriction reached its peak after the tragedy caused by the Psionic School.

It turns out that wizards who are limited by their talent and cannot be promoted can do anything.

"What about the [Source of Magic]? I've heard that the wizards of Greenriel use this potion to break their limits and improve their mental power, and the materials they make contain something called spirituality, and that is also through the method of fusing souls to complete promotion? Lynn couldn't help but ask.

"No, the spiritual essence is not completely equivalent to the soul, it is only a part of the spiritual energy and magic remnants, relatively safe, but it cannot be taken continuously, and it needs to be combined with the corresponding potion to be able to effectively use its power." Harrov explained.

"Thank you for your answer, Speaker." Lynn nodded, but also relieved.

Later, Harrov vaguely asked about the recent situation of the [Arcane Society], the pressure from the Holy See was too heavy, and the wizarding land alone was not enough to compete with it.

Harrov's careful thinking, Lynn was naturally clear, and did not make any guarantees, but just shirked and said that the legendary wizards of the [Arcane Society] are basically focused on the study of magic, and rarely interfere in the affairs of the outside world, not even necessarily on this continent, but he may be able to contact some colleagues who are willing to rebel against the Holy See.

……

The next day, in order to clear the haze caused by the evil god incident, an incomparably grand celebration ceremony was held in Greenriel City.

After capturing the Doomsday Messenger Kahimo and successfully delaying Raphael and others in Ogst, he became the undoubted hero who saved the city of Greenriel, and almost everyone in the team received a Morning Star Medal.

Lynn, who is the greatest hero, was nominated for the Silver Moon Medal alone.

It can be seen that it is not easy to win the highest honor award in the wizarding land, and Lynn reckons that unless he directly kills Ogst alone......

Fortunately, Lynn took these honors very lightly, and what pleased him the most was that the council approved his application and was willing to give him a new [Corona Medal].

After all, he also activated the protective spell stored in the medal - [Vittorio's Barrier] in order to save the Wizard City, and it is really unreasonable if he does not reimburse him.

Considering the anomaly of the Sea of Mist, Lynn did not stay in Greenriel for long, and submitted her resignation to the council on the morning of the fourth day, preparing to return to Iyeta.

In the evening, the airship hovered over the city square.

"Lord Lynn, are you ready to leave? I haven't been able to ask you a lot of questions about calculus and curvilinear equations. Tik said with great regret.

These days, he has been very obsessed with the study of calculus, which is simply the only way to expose the microscopic realm, and Tik feels that many spell models can be reconstructed using the knowledge of calculus, increasing their power and reducing certain spell casting requirements.

It's a pity that the master Leibniz who guided them seems to be very busy, and occasionally appears in the [Sea of Olympiads], and he throws them a new Olympiad book for them to ponder slowly......

Tik didn't dare to say more, let alone ask more, because the knowledge, formulas, and theories contained in each Olympiad were incomparably profound, and he couldn't imagine how much effort it took to sum up, and he could only secretly shame that their learning progress was too slow, and he didn't know when he would be able to really participate in the research of creating the calculus system.

And Lynn became their savior, the only person in the whole of Greenriel who read these calculus books and gave them some answers.

According to the other party, Olympiad is a compulsory subject for all members of the [Arcane Society], and he has also been fortunate enough to study with Master Leibniz for a while, so he knows a little bit of related knowledge.

But after a few consultations, Tik realized that Lynn was too modest, not only to know a little, but to have nothing he didn't understand.

If it weren't for the limited number of passengers that could fit in an airship, Tik would have been eager to follow them to the harbor of Iyeta.
