The discussion between the two of them about the Lost Gods and their families continued for a long time.

By reading documents from different eras and countries, Verin came to the tentative conclusion that in that unknown distant past, the definition of gods was very different from that of today's gods.

Because of the production and development activities of many different intelligent beings such as humans, goblins, and elves, the gods of today's Brahma have been endowed with many different functions, and even have infinite subdivisions in specific fields.

One of the most classic is the god associated with agriculture.

Originally, agriculture and cultivation were under the jurisdiction of the god of life, but with the change of time and civilization, different agricultural gods began to appear among different races and peoples, and the blessings, protection, and blessings that these gods could provide were different, some regions wanted crops to be healthier, others wanted them to grow faster, and in some arid areas, due to severe water shortages, local residents would even put agriculture under the jurisdiction of the goddess of magic, Mel- They hope that the goddess Mel will increase the rainfall so that the crops can grow properly.

In other words, all intelligent beings will want their faith in a god who can only take care of every aspect and area of their lives.

At this point, even the goddess Mel, who can truly bring the miracle of magic, is not immune.

Verine's judgment was based mainly on what she had seen with her own eyes in the basement of Ernst Manor, as well as the information she had learned from those books.

Therefore, she believes that the gods who were active in that long period were in a more primitive and pure state, and from the perspective of human cognition, gods like Mother Earth seemed to be closer to some specific existence with amazing power and able to directly cause certain natural phenomena.

In response, she even made a very bold assumption - the gods of ancient times may even be some kind of unique magical creatures, powerful enough to live almost endlessly, but not infallible......

This hypothesis is indeed groundbreaking and constructive, but Xiuge does not dare to easily agree with it.

Although he trusted Verin now, he always had reservations in this regard.

Naturally, he couldn't reveal the matter of Theseus and the dream shelter, and the existence of Theseus was actually the most powerful refutation of Wei Lin's view, after all, that guy was really full of too many characteristics similar to humans and other intelligent beings, and he not only had wisdom, but also had a lot of strange knowledge.

And judging by the bizarre titles that Theseus has, this guy must also have something to do with such a thing as "conspiracy".

Not to mention, in that era, there was still such a strange existence as the "Abyss Court", and Xiuge did not think that such a world would be dominated by purely magical creatures.

The other thing was about the female human figure he saw in the rat swarm's dream.

The figure that attacked the Earth Mother Gods along with the sea beasts and helped the ocean side gain the upper hand......

….

Even though it was only for a brief moment, Shuge was certain that the other party was using magic, or at least a power of the same origin as magic.

And all this reminded him of the goddess of magic.

Especially when he felt the terrible force that swept over his body in his dreams, he thought of the power he felt when he first looked through a magic textbook and saw the portrait of the goddess Mel - a terrible suggestion that was directly applied to the spiritual plane, as if to lead others to worship the great goddess.

The difference is that the portrait of the goddess Mel on the title page of the magic book is very weak, but anyone with a little stronger will can ignore it, but in the dreams of the rats, Shuge feels its horror.

It is an amazing magic that can directly change the will of living beings, and even separate and isolate them from the belief of Mother Earth Goddess.

At this stage, Shuge is not yet in a position to tell others about these discoveries, after all

Even an outlier like Verin, who is extremely interested in the Lost God and magic, is essentially a loyal follower of the goddess of magic, Mel, and if she says something like this, it may not only bring a crisis of trust to herself, but also to cause a crisis of faith in Verin's own beliefs.

Then it will be a big problem.

However, these discoveries also opened up a new path for her, and she told Xiuge that she was ready to use these new discoveries as a reference for a new round of interpretation of "Poems of the Night", and at the same time, she was also ready to look for traces of the mad poet Azifu in those documents that had been blocked in the past, and Weilin thought that if she could find some other poems or written works of Azifu, then the interpretation of "Poems of the Night" might be easier......

Of course, no matter what Wei Lin planned, her tasks had to be completed in the barracks.

For on the third day after the Winter Festival, when Shuge had just gone to the council headquarters to complete the long-overdue Stream-level mage certification, the king of Wattle gave a huge public speech.

As Hug had anticipated, in the midst of popular cries and unstoppable tendencies, Wattle declared war on Teresa.

At the same time that the news was made public, as a signatory to the agreement of the Plateau Alliance, the Kingdom of Hain also declared war on Teresa, and the plain states with the Deresan Kingdom as the core also obeyed the treaty and joined the war one after another.

In the area near the northern snowfield, after sending a notice to the three deep-sea scholar towers of Cedar, Black Nest and Flower Sea, Merlinle and the Law Council also issued a declaration of war to St. Steele, the northern country, and this announcement was immediately exchanged for the roar of St. Still's snowfield cannons.

Now, this group of northern soldiers, driven mad by the internal struggles of the country, will begin to push forward regardless of the cost and consequences, and they are more eager than any other country in the world to achieve tangible results - only by grabbing enough benefits from this war can their country and royal family be saved from collapse.

Rather than the apprehension of the inhabitants and soldiers of the Plains, the Wattles, who were taking full advantage of the convenience of steam technology, were confident in the war.

….

Soldiers on leave have largely returned to barracks, and reserve units have begun to gradually move to several important areas, where they will conduct follow-up training and be ready to join the battlefield at any time.

Those veterans who have retired and participated in the Ogre War of the Plateau have consciously gathered at the major recruitment points.

A team of Great-Eared Goblins and Dwarves has already set out, and with the help of the Council Mages, they are laying special railroads for war purposes at an astonishing rate, and a large number of workshops that were once controlled by the old nobles have now been regrouped under the name of the Wattle government, and they have been forcibly cut and reorganized into large factories, where large steam machines and magical equipment have gathered and begun to be commissioned by the Academy's craftsmen.

In the future, they will form an important lifeblood for Wattle to support the development of the subsequent war.

……

Even just walking down the street, Shuge could hear the earth-shattering roar of the massive machine called the state in motion.

At the logistics window outside the Fifth Chasseur Regiment's station, Xiuge finally received the equipment and uniforms assigned to him.

The equipment is relatively simple, with only a few items.

They are daggers made of smothering silver.

A new type of revolver with one bag of normal ammunition and one bag of crystallized ammunition.

A spellbook that inscribes a variety of battlefield magics and rituals in advance.

Several high-quality magic crystals to temporarily replenish mana.

and the Council's special battlefield pendulum.

There was nothing else to do, and the council mage who distributed the supplies saw that Xiuge was obviously a mage who had entered the barracks for the first time, so he specially reminded him that the ammunition could be withdrawn at any time, and if the silver dagger and pistol were lost, they could be reclaimed as long as they completed the report, but the magic book and high-quality crystals were now scarce materials, and once they were lost, they would definitely not be able to be replenished in the short term, and they would also need to be punished by regulations.

Look at the dense strips on the wall next to you

Examples and regulations, Xiuge nodded seriously.

As a military mage, his uniform composition is not the same as that of a normal soldier.

In addition to the standard garments, the casters were given an additional special trench coat, which was apparently designed with the help of the Mage Council, as there were many details specific to the caster's needs.

The entire military uniform is generally black as the main color, and there is no military cap, which is replaced by a detachable hood.

Mages do not have a rank on their uniforms, but they do have a badge on their chest to indicate their mage rank, which is not usually anything special, but when passing through a checkpoint, they can be injected with mana to make it glow to prove their identity.

The belt is unique in that it can be used to secure the dispensed equipment, and there are two additional pockets for holding the spellbook, as each spellcaster will certainly not use only one spellbook.

Shug finished changing his clothes in the compartment of the wooden house next to him, and sorted out all the equipment such as the silver dagger, the revolver, and the magic book, and then he took his luggage and officially stepped into the headquarters of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment.

Duden, the guard who had been by Shuge's side before, had now returned to his original team, and after entering the barracks, the safety of the mages accompanying him would no longer be the responsibility of ordinary soldiers.

….

As one of the elite legions of the Waterl Kingdom, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment is very strict in the selection of personnel, even if it is a new recruit, it must pass a series of screenings, so most of the young people who can come here are very excited, at this time the new order has not yet been issued, so they have time to gather together to communicate, discuss, and study the new firearms in their hands, among which some even took out the dragon tooth card to form a game.

Compared to these new recruits, who had "inherited" many of the soldiers' memories and had been instructed by General Bernhardt, Xiuge was unusually calm and calm, and he did not stop at all, just like the arrogant spellcasters that everyone knew, and walked to the huge house reserved for the council mages.

The moment the door was opened, a warm breath from the magic ritual immediately spread over the room, and the breath of magic continued to beat in the room, and it was also not very quiet here, after all, joining the war was also the first time for the vast majority of spellcasters.

Many of the people gathered here were raindrop-level mages or mage apprentices who had not yet had official ratings, and the stream-level mage emblem on Xiuge's chest shone on its own when they were touched by the magic ritual set up at the doorway, which attracted the attention of many people.

The space inside the house was much larger than it looked from the outside, and at first glance it was the result of solidifying the "Extension Ritual", and before Xiuge could further observe the other people in the house, the door behind Xiuge was opened again, and then, with the hum of magic, the blinding light lit up, attracting the attention of almost everyone.

Wei Lin stood in the doorway with a cold face, she glanced at the lake-level mage insignia on her chest, forcibly suppressed the obstructive light with her magic, and then walked in with her luggage.

She carried a lot of things, all books.

Beside her, two mage hands each held a stack, and she held a stack in her own hand, which looked less like she was going to war, but rather like she was going to the library to catch up on papers.

Verin's gaze drifted over, and Xiug sighed, reaching out and taking a stack of books from his magic teacher.

"Follow me."

Wei Lin said softly, then straightened her trench coat and turned to walk to the side of the stairs.

She has also changed into the clothes of a military mage, and her whole temperament has become different because of this.

Wei Lin wore a trench coat that was a little wide, which hid her body well, her small half of her face was wrapped under a standard scarf of the Fifth Hunting Regiment, and her exposed eyes were full of unhappiness and coldness, combined with the oppression of a lake-level magician and her unique temperament, the whole person looked like a delicate ink-colored ice sculpture.

In this way, Shug followed Wei Lin to the second floor, and was there

Stopped in front of the second room in the corridor on the left.

She took out a key and opened the door, then walked in with Shug.

It was apparently an office that someone had only used it not so long ago, and there was even a newspaper from more than ten days ago on the table.

"Miss Vilin, you look like you're moving."

Xiuge put down the book and casually teased.

Wei Lin glanced at him, then put down the things in her hand, and said, "Time is too rushed, I have to sift through the really valuable literature before the army leaves, and the rest of the books can only be stored here temporarily...... After going to war, life and death are unknown."

She took off her scarf and hung it on her chair, "Mr. Schugg, I brought you here to remind you of the books you have to remember in the event that I can't return from the battlefield."

……

I had a cold and fever, and I was drowsy

The promised map was not finished (still a little close)

The double watch is released first

It's numb
