Chapter 8: Doubts about God

"Someone who can hold an entire continent in the palm of his hand...... It should be the creator god...... In other words, what rank of god does Rosa belong to, the main god?" Gaia said to himself.

Gaia continued to scroll down, and then another god appeared, but Gaia had not seen it and could only skip it, and then there was the god Rosa, the statue of the god Rosa in the center of every big city, Gaia was not mistaken, there was a strange beast under the god Rosa, this beast had flowing hair, and there was a blue flame on all four hooves.

"Imprint!" When Gaia looked at this divine beast carefully, he found that there was a very obvious imprint on the forehead of the divine beast, this imprint pattern Gaia had never seen, but he remembered that the demon wind wolf he met in Matu Village and the two blood beasts in the Laris Mountains had similar imprints on their foreheads, what did this imprint mean?

"Is it a contract to tame a beast?" Gaia suddenly thought of this possibility, if it was a contract to tame a beast, then it would definitely leave a spiritual imprint on the body of the beast, forcing the beast to obey the orders of the contractor, this method is only for the people of the Holy See.

"But those are obviously wild beasts, not like tamers......" Gaia recalled the scene at that time, if it was a contract tamer, it should not be so ferocious, and besides, not many people would sign a contract with an F-class monster.

"The Record of Gods" does not tell Gaia much information, but Gaia probably learned that there is a god above the god of Rosa, and above this god is the god of creation, but between the god of creation and the god of Rosa, the image of this god is very vague, and it does not seem to look like a god at all, which makes Gaia wonder why there is no record of this god, and even the name is not given. It seems that after the creation god is the god of the four empires.

All the gods of the creation god, this god is like the earth, it is an illusory existence, because every life is living in the world he created, and in the concept of the continent of Eden, to survive is the greatest fear of the creation god.

"There is obviously a god above the four gods of faith, why don't people believe in him?" Gaia raised this question, there are a lot of beliefs in the continent of Eden, even if the evil gods believed by the cultists are also a kind of faith, but the most supported is naturally the gods believed in by the four empires, but just as Gaia asked, there is a more authoritative god above the four gods, why no one believes in it, and even the name is not mentioned in the book.

"Forget it, let's look at the relationship between contract and magic. Gaia didn't go any further, as for the imprint, Gaia felt the need to go through the relevant books again, and for now he had to solve his own problems first.

It took Gaia almost a full day to read the book "The Origin of Magic" completely, and he was surprised that the history of the "Record of the Gods" recorded that the continent of Eden had a history of tens of thousands of years, and the "Origin of Magic" also said that magic appeared tens of thousands of years ago, but "The Origin of Magic" Although the book does not clearly state that you can't practice magic without signing a contract, it is explained that magicians must sign a contract with God, which is a necessary process, just like you must cultivate a magic cyclone before sensing the elements.

Why do you want to cultivate a magic cyclone, the book gives a detailed explanation, and the book also devotes a long text to describe its details.

However, the signing of the contract of God is only a passing mention, and it is written in the book

"After signing the contract, the cyclone will turn golden, and then you can sense the lowest level of wind element, and the time to sense the element is generally not more than three months, which has nothing to do with magical talent. ”

In the sense of this sentence, it seems that the process of contract cannot be missing. It doesn't explain why you need to sign a contract to sense the element.

"Could it be that if you sign a contract with a god, the god will give you an extra piece of power, which will make the path of the magician smoother?, so what benefit does the god get? all he gets is that empty faith and gratitude?" Gaia didn't understand the more he thought about it, and still didn't solve the problem that he couldn't sign the contract.

The God Contract Scroll in the process of going from trainee magician to junior magician is not a very valuable item, almost every academy will have it, Gaia has also tried to sign contracts with other imperial gods, but they have not succeeded, maybe only the evil gods contract Gaia has not tried, but Gaia does not want to sell his soul.

"Do you have a lot of doubts in your mind?" while Gaia was upset about this, an old voice sounded in his ears, and Gaia didn't even notice when the man had come.

Gaia turned around and saw the old gentleman in the library who had given him instructions before, hesitated for a moment and said, "Old gentleman, why don't these ancient books specifically record the matter of the magician's contract? ”

"Hehe, it's rare that there are still people who care about these sealed deeds, and no one has touched the books here for a long time. When the old gentleman smiled, his face was full of wrinkles.

Indeed, as the old gentleman said, when Gaia walked to this area, he found that the books here were already covered with a lot of dust, and it was obvious that no one had cared about them for many years. Nowadays, magicians are focused on books such as advanced magic theory, elemental mastery, and introduction to skills, and who would bother to look at the origin of magic thousands of years ago, many of which have been eliminated.

"Young man, why do you want to ask this, do you have any doubts about God?" asked the old gentleman, half-squinting.

"Oh, I have a friend who can't make a contract with God, he can practice magic, it's just that magic is progressing slowly, so I want to help him figure it out. Gaia remembered that both the captain and Mesa had different reactions to the fact that he had not signed a contract, and the captain deliberately told Gaia not to let others know that he had not signed a contract with God, and Mesa's attitude changed a lot after knowing that Gaia had not signed a contract with God Rosa, so Gaia was a little more cautious and never easily revealed that he had not signed a contract.

"Yes, it's rare to see people who can't make a contract with God, and if I'm not mistaken, the friend you're talking about should also have a talent for fighting spirit, right?" said the old gentleman slowly.
