"Do you really want my people to live in the darkness of the underground, eating dwarven moss, and living like rats?" Evan and the others left, and said to Siegel, "Those days are worse than death, are you sure this is not some kind of punishment - the punishment for supporting Riele in destroying the goblin world?"

Siegel shook his head, "No, Evan, I don't mean to punish. Now it's about survival, and you can use what you have at hand. Life underground is at least a life, and the act of immigrating to other planets can continue!"

Evan looked at Siegel, trying to get his true thoughts out of his mouth. However, he could only see the deep eyes that belonged to God, and there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in them. "Siegel, how long do we need to stay underground?"

"It depends on the dissipation of the dust radiation and whether the new world can be found. However, in my estimation, the dust will continue to cover the sky for 200 years, and its subsequent effects will continue even for 500 years. So in the end, it is necessary to find a way to colonize the stars, using the Mir Energy Core, the Teleportation Array and the magic spaceship, which is not without opportunities. ”

"With the life span of a human being, I don't see that day coming. Evan sighed, "Am I still a king after leaving the Kingdom of Stars?"

"You don't think that the tall seat of the Star Castle or the words of the previous kings is the reason why you are king, as long as you can do something worthy of being followed, then there will naturally be people who will respect you as king. Siegel encouraged him: "I admit that you are facing an unprecedented crisis, but it is precisely because of this that you have the possibility to achieve great things that surpass all those who have come before you." ”

"Great achievement?" Evan was silent for a moment, only a finger tapping on his belt embedded with the star badge. After a while he said, "Siegel, you told a very interesting story about the gods, about the dice. But the world is going to be destroyed, and with it my starry kingdom is going to be destroyed? Since the Kingdom of the Stars and the Mage Guild parted ways, magic has been a tool, not a belief. Any idea why?"

Siegel nodded. In the past, as the lord of the Heim Realm, he did not know these secrets, but as the god of knowledge, he knew the history that had been recorded.

"The power of magic is higher than that of the sword, so it is ...... for a mage lord to want to build a magic empire It is a natural thing, and the knightly class is difficult to stop. Evan chose this wording with a pale face, "In this, the will of the magic god plays a very important role in promoting, after all, governing magic users and governing the magic empire are not at all the same level. Human beings have no race gods, which is the best goal, and the gods have brought heavy disasters to ordinary people in order to complete this experiment. ”

"Aaron and I, or my generation, have forgotten the devastating calamities of the Magical Rebellion for the kingdom and the kingship, and as a result, you, the Mage Lord, have been born. But it's always been okay, as a lord you've always been loyal and willing to share in the inventions that have improved the standard of living in the kingdom. When you handed over powerful weapons of war such as muskets and magic spaceships to the royal family, I was actually relieved by the small number of people who knew the inside story. As long as you persist for these decades, your lordship will be passed on to Isaac, and it should be too peaceful, right?"

"I didn't expect you to become a god of magic. I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing your ability, I had to face it up. It's good that you gave Isaac the title of lord, and I should actually say I'm very happy. But it's too dangerous for you to try to get everyone to believe in yourself. ”

Siegel interrupted him and said, "As I said before, this is only a temporary measure. After that, if you want to believe it, you can believe it, and if you don't want to believe it, I won't be reluctant. ”

"Yes, that's what you're saying now, but you have one more word. Evan exhaled a long breath and said, "You said that you won't let the other gods return lightly and skillfully. Siegel, you have come to see the world as yours, this is your territory, something that no other god can touch. You are the only god born, no one can check and balance you, as long as you have the slightest greedy thought, you can rule the spirit and mind of the whole world. Tell me the truth, can you do such a thing, and can you promise to put an end to such a thing?"

Siegel was tempted to make a guarantee, but he also knew in his heart that all gods would become greedy to varying degrees. As long as the Divine Fire has the right to belong, then it is inevitable to fight. Even if the Lord of the Dawn of Light and Justice arranged for a Sage to try to kill Evan Siegel can still suppress the greed of divinity with the brilliance of human nature, but he still regards the world of the Thunder Wall as his own property. Hundreds of years from now, thousands of years from now?

"Actually, the elves, dwarves, and orcs may have thought of this, but none of them said it. If the world is indeed going to end, then you will indeed be everyone's last hope. Evan smiled bitterly and said, "So don't worry, I will still arrange for the people of the kingdom to prepare for evacuation, but it will not be to go to the goblin world." If you can, you can open the portal and take us to any other plane. ”

"The outer realm is not suitable for the survival of the main material plane, and human nature will be worn out, and only the tendencies of the plane will be reduced. If you lose your form, can you still be called human?" Siegel replied with a frown, "And the outer plane is too dangerous for me to protect you all." With all kinds of terrible creatures, an unbearable climate, and harsh geological conditions, it may be difficult to grow enough food. ”

"It's the same underground. "Well," Evan said, "my biggest fear is that when you turn your faith into you, temporary or not, it will change you permanently, and it will never be for the better." I can't do it knowing it's wrong. ”

"Even if that happens, everyone is still alive!"

"I'm mortal, you're a god, I can't convince you. Evan shook his head, and it was easy to see the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart: "Send me back, I still have a thousand things to prepare." I can order a transfer, but not a change of faith. ”

"Hasn't the Dawn Temple always had close cooperation with the royal family, why can't it be my Magic Temple?"

Evan didn't answer, perhaps because the answer would hurt Siegel's heart. Siegel knows that doubt and hope are the most fundamental sources of human strength, but when this doubt is directed at him, hope is almost fantasy, it is still very uncomfortable.

With his divine powers, Siegel could easily "convince" Evan to turn him into a puppet king who obeyed his word. It's not just him, but all people who don't have the protection of the gods of the race can easily be distorted by magic and become captives of Siegel's followers. What's more, Siegel also has a powerful peace circle, and this mind-control effect can not only bring death, but also absolute obedience.

The power of the mind is powerful, but the power to think for itself is the most basic but important component of the multiverse. Even the Mechanical Realm Demon Tomb, where order and unity are the top priorities, they all have the ability to think independently without interference, and there will be guys like Erdu. If Siegel changes people's minds on a large scale, then he is not much different from the most evil demons.

What Evan said is not unreasonable, after tasting the good taste of high divine power, can he still control his desires? When he first came into contact with the divine fire and had not yet gained complete control, it was an extremely painful process for Siegel to abandon the priesthood of the God of Prophecy. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't really tasted the sweetness, and that human nature still had the upper hand, it would have been hard for Siegel to believe that he would have been able to cut off a part of the divine fire and give it away! In fact, how did he not have the plan and intention to become the only true god in the world? How to go deep into the lives of ordinary people, how to promote magic, and how to become an indispensable god for everyone, didn't this step by step have been calculated many times in his mind?

Perhaps the best thing to do is to find a safe half-plane, so that you don't have to cut the crystal wall channel, and you can avoid a temptation. Riele once said that someone would be willing to trade a half-plane for the technology of the Myr Core, which seemed to Siegel to be a very good deal.

Unfortunately, Riele's memories were completely erased by Siegel, and there is no record of such a recent situation in the information of the God of Knowledge. So after sending Evan away, Siegel went straight to the Mage Guild, maybe the people here can make some impressions.

The Mage Guild has always followed the tradition of "fearing the god of magic but not worshiping it", so even if the god of magic actually appears, it will only greet you as a guest. From the eyes of the guild mages, most of what Siegel saw was excitement. I was not excited to see the gods, but I was very excited because I knew that it was possible for a mage to ascend to the gods, and that there was a way to go through this path.

"Archmage Leel often acts alone, and we don't know very well. But I think his apprentice might know a thing or two. An archmage said to Siegel, "However, since the conflict between Riele and you, his disciples have rarely been found, and it may not be easy to find them immediately. ”

"I need to find them as soon as possible, but the ultimate goal is the half-plane. Siegel said to the members of the Mage Guild, "With the astral projection, you should be able to enter the Gate City safely, where there will be more information. ”

"Lord Magic God, the silver thread projected by the astral realm is very fragile, and many races in the outer regions have the means to directly cut off the silver thread. If we could, we'd rather use the Gates to go straight to Gategate, where there would be more protection. ”

But in this way, after the real body goes to the gate city, will they choose to come back? If ordinary people go to the outer land, something will happen in a few days, either they will sell their souls in a daze, or they will die quietly somewhere. However, mages, especially those who can use the Gates of the Otherworld, still have a strong ability to protect themselves and live in the Outlands. If they choose to leave and hide, Siegel won't have the time to look for them.

"The astral projection is safer, and I can give you some ways to strengthen the strength of the silver wire projection, so I won't open the door to the other world. "Siegel can't believe the Mage Guild, maybe that's how Evan feels when he faces him, right?

It can be clearly felt that the archmages of the Mage Association are not satisfied with this result, and perhaps they already have the idea of "overthrowing this **** magic god and ushering in a new century of free spell casting" in their hearts. Siegel knew that if it was himself standing opposite the magic god, the thought would definitely come to mind. What is the essential difference between his own behavior and that of Liele, who wants dice, and can he sacrifice his free will for some reason—for greater ability or for a greater purpose?

Order, freedom, sacrifice, the end of the world, all kinds of thoughts came to Siegel's mind, entangled and stirred with each other, and sucked his spirit like a whirlpool. "Lord Magic, why are you trembling? Are you alright?" said the Association's archmage.

"No...... No, it's fine. Siegel smiled and said to them, "Contact the Half-Plane as soon as possible, you can contact me through the Magic Temple, or you can pray to me directly." I can leave the negotiation to me, but the price is better not too outrageous. I will pay as I have done in the past: fair exchange, never in arrears. ”

The mages agreed, while secretly observing Siegel's anomaly. Since there is no progress here, Siegel is not prepared to stay and visit for them. When he returned to his own temple in Mir City, his steps had already stumbled a little, and the divine fire in his body began to burn wildly, exuding a breathtaking power.

This is the sequelae of using divine power to open the portal to hold a meeting before, plus the restlessness and difficulty concentrating. It was as if there were countless voices in Siegel's head speaking to him, each one exactly like himself. It was as if in an instant, all the clones had their own consciousness and were engaged in a chaotic debate.

It's fine to talk about a spell or magic, but if it's about morality, what is right, I'm afraid it will never end. Siegel is caught up in this self-criticism, and the more he tries to find a simple and simple truth to set the standard, the faster humanity is lost.

Behind this, of course, there is a divine fire fueling the flames. Shenhuo needs a carrier that can exert his strength, and Siegel uses tricks to occupy the priesthood, and Shenhuo uses similar means to try to gain the upper hand. He would not completely annihilate Siegel's humanity - and would lose his original purpose in finding sanity - but he would transform Siegel according to his own needs, making him see magic, knowledge, and simple principles of exchange as truth, and solve all problems with calculations, as Riehl did.

God is much simpler than man, and his purpose is clear and his means are the same. What they want and what they will do is predictable, but because of their strength, it is difficult for mortals to stop them. On the other hand, people are much more complex. Like the straightforwardness of the outlands and the complexity of the crystal walls.

Siegel stopped trembling and fell into meditation. It is a meditation between the main brain and the 10,000 auxiliary brains, and they are endlessly searching for truth. Slowly, Siegel lowered his head, like a man who was falling asleep from sleepiness. The divine fire is getting stronger and stronger, and his thoughts are becoming more and more pure.
