Chapter 010: Awakening
There is a god in this world.
True God.
Both the creation of the world and the operation of the world are inseparable from the participation of the gods.
It's not like the Fate world, the gods are far away, and the great source is weak.
This world is in the age of the gods, and the big source and the small source are very strong, all creatures, whether it is human beings or flowers, birds, fish and insects, all have magical power, although the magic of ordinary civilians is almost negligible, but the nobles have magic power, and there are all kinds of magical creatures that rely on magic power in the wild.
It is precisely because it is in the age of the gods, and the influence and blessings of the gods are visible to the naked eye, so the belief system, theocracy, or religious power in this world is very powerful.
Pray to the gods in the temple and offer magic to receive the blessings of the gods.
This is a place that will be envied by the Moon Magicians.
In this Alan Fest Territory, the status of the temple is naturally also noble, magnificent, and solemn.
But these days, the solemn temple can often be heard with laughter.
I don't know when it started, but the temple, which is obviously a tall complex, was flooded with a large number of green woods and strange mushrooms, but the surrounding residents did not find it strange at all.
It's like that's how it's supposed to be.
"Today is also a day full of children's laughter."
The uncle, who was carrying two baskets of fruits, happily greeted the guards at the gate of the temple.
The guards also responded with confused eyes:
"yes, another happy day. Today's fruit is really good, and Lord Alice will give you a lot of compensation, right? ”
"yes, yes." The fruit merchant who delivered the goods to the door entered the temple, and in the main hall of the temple, on a long table that should not have been there, he found the girl in the black dress, known as "Lord Alice".
The girl is holding a tea session.
Drinks and snacks are set up on the table, and there are many adults and children sitting around the table.
Although the children were dressed with patches, they were clean and slightly emaciated, and it was clear that they had been malnourished.
Some of the adults were dressed in gray and some in blue.
Sitting to Alice's left is a man in blue. On the right, a girl is reading a story to a tea party.
Everyone, adults and children, listened attentively to the story, and even the visitors selling the fruit couldn't bear to spoil the atmosphere.
"Ah, it's the fruit for the refreshments." It was Alice who found the fruit and cried out happily in a sweet childish voice. "Big brother, help me collect it, the story is not finished yet, I still have to listen to the story."
The man in blue on the left-hand side got up, walked over naturally, took the fruit basket, and took the money out of his pocket to pay.
After getting the overpayment, the seller is very happy:
"Thank you, sir, for the reward. The priest is generous. ”
"Priest, who is that?" The man in blue showed a slightly confused expression.
"yes, who's coming?" The fruit merchant also seemed confused, "It seems that there is such a name, did I just say something?" ”
“…… No...... ......."
The fruit merchant departed happily with the reward, and the man in blue took the fruit and distributed it to the fruit bowl on the long table, and then returned to his seat, and continued to listen to the story, but a voice echoed in his heart.
"Chief Priest...... Priest ...... God ......"
His face remained calm until the end of the story, when everyone went to the square to play games and walked along the corridor by himself.
"Priest...... Freddie...... Fee...... Ferdinand? Yes, Chief Priest, Ferdinand! ”
The man pressed one hand on his temple and pressed it hard until he felt the pain in his temple, which stimulated his drowsy brain and caused pain from the outside in.
"It's me, I'm Ferdinand! Why do I attend a tea party? Is this a shrine? How did it get like this?
Those people just now, the blue-clothed priest, the gray-clothed priest, and ...... Orphans in orphanages? It seems like most of them are......
Since when did it start? Two days? Five days? Ten days? Why can't I remember yesterday? ”
The chief priest tried to comb through his memories as he stimulated his brain with pain, and pretended to be calm and prepared to return to his room.
There was a secret room behind his room, and the door was set with magic, and only people with a certain level of magic could pass through, and there were stored magic books, materials, and potions, etc.
He was going to think slowly about countermeasures there.
Although the entire temple has changed, it is still possible to find the original track from the woods and mushrooms.
He rubbed shoulders with two enlarged, long-legged playing card-style soldiers, and the two large playing cards nodded to Ferdinand.
Barely coping, he finally returned to his bedroom and opened the door to the secret room.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he was greeted not only by the room he was familiar with, but also by a boy of about ten years old, dressed in some kind of dress, reading a book.
If Ferdinand was not mistaken, it was one of his collection of magic books.
The hairs immediately stood on end.
Not to mention that it was an emergency now, his room was secret, and the door also restricted the number of people who could enter it above a certain amount of magic.
So the boy in front of him not only found his secret room, but also had a lot of magic.
The boy raised his head, glanced at Ferdinand, who was stunned at the door, and immediately returned his gaze to the book as if he had lost interest.
Ferdinand stretched out his right hand, chanted a spell, and a baton-like object appeared in his hand.
Starp, the name of the stick is Starp, and it is the best item that can control the magic in one's body in the most efficient way.
Using a special magic stone called "God's Will" as a material, the user is also the maker, and the power of the magic stone is first infected with a special method, and then the magic power is absorbed little by little.
Later, after training, this power was turned into a magic prop in the shape of a stick, which was Starp.
Something like a wand, which can be retracted or embodied at any time to perform magic.
You can also use magic to change your appearance from a wand to a sword, gun, bow, etc.
Ferdinand took out Starp, that is, he was ready for battle, and he also saw with sharp eyes that the boy's left hand was holding a special magic stone that was used as a raw material for Starp.
And depending on the size of the magic stone, it is estimated that it will not take many days to absorb all the magic power.
"Who are you? Why in my room? Is it someone from the Academy? ”
Knowing magic, Ferdinand acquiesced that the other party was a nobleman.
What he is most worried about now is not knowing whether the other party is a spy of a hostile country.
Now his mind is still messed up and he can't think very well.
But the boy did not answer, but said to himself:
"Sure enough, people with high magic power have good resistance, a bit like 'magic power'...... More than half a month, it's not bad.
Chief Priest, the contemptible man is not good at fighting, so retire for the time being, and talk about it in detail after you are captured. ”
said that the whole person fell down, obviously sitting on the chair, but he fell down with the chair.
Falling into a portal made up of a group of diamond-shaped patterns, it disappears from Ferdinand's eyes.
