This was also the core question that Richard carefully prepared, and when he heard the Duke ask, Richard was calm. He also put the teacup down and smiled, "You have betrayed only the gods of the plane, not the plane of Faro. ”

This was the answer that surprised the Duke very much. Although he belongs to ancestor worship in his beliefs and is naturally hostile to the belief in true gods, he essentially follows the same path. Ancestor worship, in the final analysis, is to let the ancestral spirit or the strong in the contemporary family embark on the road to godhood, and when someone ignites the divine fire, it is also transformed into true god belief. So even Duke Bire, deep down, recognized the supremacy of the gods, and he was just unwilling to give up his dignity and interests for the sake of the gods who were not related by blood.

The gods are superior to one qiē, which is almost the consensus of the Faro plane, and the consensus of all the primordial planes that have gods of the original plane and have not yet been involved in the war between the planes.

Facing the duke's questioning gaze, Richard said: "The so-called gods are all priesthoods that are accomplished according to their own rules. Rules are attached to and subordinate to the plane. And the gods who are born according to the rules can actually be regarded as moths parasitic on the rules, and they are just like us human beings, in fact, they are just appendages of the plane, how can they be above the plane? The gods only proceed from their own selfish interests to claim that they are above the plane. From another point of view, when the plane destroys the miè, the gods who are attached to the plane will be destroyed with it, and when the gods destroy the miè, the plane can still exist!"

The Duke was well-informed, and as a man of considerable ambition at the helm of the family, his knowledge was absolutely beyond most people's expectations, but Richard had an opinion he had never heard or thought of.

In the Faro plane, where the gods rule, any public doubt about the status of the true god is grounds for being burned at the stake. Although the duke's position is hostile to the gods, it can actually be regarded as an internal struggle in the same camp, and the duke's heart also recognizes that the gods should be high, and even above the entire Faro plane.

However, on closer thought, the Duke found that there was irrefutable truth in Richard's words. And in the doctrine of the gods, there is a common way to deal with such irrefutable words, that is, regardless of whether Richard is right or wrong, just send him to the stake, and will not give him a chance to speak at all, let alone engage in any debate with him.

The duke tapped lightly on the coffee table and finally raised his head: "Anyway, this is a very difficult decision. Perhaps a small extra weight needs to be added to the scales before a decision can be made. Come, follow me, and I'll take you to meet someone. ”

Cass and Orar were left in the drawing room, with only Richard and Quicksand allowed to leave with the duke.

The Duke led them along a labyrinthine pathway, and every now and then guards would come out of their hidden posts and salute the Duke.

Deep Rock Castle is also the residence of the duke, but the interior is not comfortable at all, and is completely fortified. Only on the upper floor of the castle there was a separate courtyard with a decent five-story house, inhabited by the duke's family.

In normal times, the duke's people were more likely to spend time in the beautiful countryside than in fortress-like castles. Only the duke lived in the castle for many years, and only briefly during the year would he accompany his family on hunting in the mountains and taking the opportunity to participate in some necessary social activities.

Through Deep Rock Castle, Richard has already touched a corner of the Duke's inner world. This is a wise, resolute, resolute, and ruthless soul at the same time.

After opening a secret door, the Duke entered a dim, damp passageway.

The passage is deep and narrow, and the terrain begins to gradually descend as you walk, and the humidity becomes heavier and heavier. Richard silently calculated the direction, and found that this passage was actually the belly of the mountain that led to the deep mountain to which Deep Rock City was attached. However, he didn't feel too much threat, and if the Duke wanted to kill them, he would do it directly, and Richard had no room for resistance at all.

The passage finally came to an end, and when a heavy iron door was opened, a wide space behind it was revealed.

It is a courtyard consisting of several rooms, built inside the mountain, illuminated with a magical flame and introduced by living water from the dark river in the mountainside.

The Duke was extremely familiar with this place, and pushed the door all the way in, and even a separate room would be for Richard and Quicksand to see.

Most of the rooms are lined with countless scrolls and books, as well as a large number of randomly scattered sheets of paper with dense lines and numbers scribbled. These patterns and numbers felt very familiar to Richard, and he picked up one casually and looked at it, and sure enough, it was magical mathematics. However, in terms of content, the mathematics of magic, which is taught as a basic course in Deep Blue, is an extremely advanced knowledge here. For example, a question on this piece of paper that is trying to verify is a basic common sense in Richard's view.

Magical mathematics is the foundation of the magic array and even the magic pattern construction, and in the Faro plane that has not developed the formation, the magic mathematics naturally has not developed much.

Richard picked up another piece of paper, but was slightly surprised, because the content of the drawings on this paper already involved some dimensional geometry. In Norland, the largest use of plane geometry is plane positioning to construct plane teleportation channels. Therefore, in the dark blue system, plane geometry is also quite advanced content, and it is difficult to master because it involves the element of time.

In Faro, where the mathematics of magic is still in its primitive state, there is a conjecture about the geometry of the plane, which can only be said to be a genius in ten thousand. Now, Richard had the feeling he had when he read the diary of Priest Essin.

But if you think about it, it is not surprising that in the huge, magnificent and prosperous Faro, the number of human beings can already be calculated in the billions, and it is not surprising that such a huge population base has given birth to some geniuses who are ahead of their time.

Soon, the Duke pushed open the door of the deepest room, and inside was a huge room of hundreds of square meters, the walls were filled with bookshelves, and in the center of the room was a large writing desk, and magic light shone down from the ceiling, illuminating the whole room in detail.

In front of the desk was an old man with gray hair, who was constantly scribbling, calculating and thinking about something.

When he heard the door knock, he didn't look up and said, "It's not time to deliver food yet, is it?" But it's okay, just put the things on the table in the next room. ”

"Palin, I've brought two friends over today to meet you. The Duke's voice was unexpectedly kind, and one could hear the deep affection contained in it.

Perrin turned his head and glanced at Richard and Quicksand, then returned his gaze to the scratch paper in front of him, and said impatiently, "Well, I've seen you, you can go!" Lord Duke, you know very well how precious my time is, so don't bother me unless you have a special reason. One of my conjectures is close to being proven, and now is the most critical time!"
