Vol 6 Chapter 26: "Holy Name" of the God of Steam (Happy New Year 30)
Augustus lowered his right hand covering his eyes and solemnly said, "The Lord heard our prayers, and specifically granted us divinity, allowing us to spread His glory and preach His Word."
"This is the best compliment to our piety!"
While he was speaking loudly, the milky light rolled around his body turned into golden sunlight, and the waves swept in all directions, submerging Harold, Mirna and other dwarves.
Harold suddenly felt that his strength had risen again, his emotions became exhilarated, full of fighting, and no fear of despair and pain!
This is the feeling of belonging to a real warrior!
This is the "fight of war" of the fifth-level divine magic, which is also the limit that August can reach at present!
At this time, Augustus's inner worry and danger completely disappeared. The great **** of steam is not unable to grant the magic, just because he prefers the mystery of steam and machinery, so he smiled solemnly and authentically: " I listened to the Lord ’s teachings and understood that steam and machinery contain the deepest and greatest secrets of the entire world. If we can master them, we will have the power to transcend divine magic, like eternal sun-like weapons. "
"The Lord tells us that divine art is only a temporary weapon used to protect ourselves at one stage of our journey. It is not the real thing that depends on living and preaching His Word. After this stage, we will naturally let go of God. Technology, put all our heart and soul into steam and machinery, discover the mysteries of them, and use our own efforts to obtain the real power that we can master, so that we can build Atlantis on the ground. "
Harold and Mirna led the rest of the core dwarves and chanted: "The great **** of steam, you love us. Just as you have supreme authority. May you rebuild a brilliant steam civilization under your protection. ! "
Augustus hesitated a little, but thinking of the sacred and vast breath and the magical aftermath of the gods, there was still a solemn truth: "Pray in front of the sacred things in turn, and the Lord will give you the gods of the devout ones. "
what?
Really?
The ecstasy once again hit the hearts of Harold, Mirna, and other dwarves. After witnessing the previous scene, they thought that this was the divine grace that the Lord had specially lowered for the elders, and they had a few shakers in their hearts. Then you have to wait for a longer time and regain the magic with actual actions.
Unexpectedly, the great **** of steam was going to give himself and others magical skills without any clue!
"You are the embodiment of virtue. It teaches us the truth of forgiveness."
Harold and the dwarf once again covered his eyes with his right hand. Very sincerely praying, only to feel his spirit is ethereal, his faith is becoming more religious, and tears of joy flow from the corner of his eyes.
then. Harold came to the silver "nuclear bomb" relic. Meditate on the content.
The noisy sounds around disappeared. Mirna and other dwarves looked at Harold intently and expectantly. Will the Lord give grace?
Suddenly, a bright and brilliant light shot again on the silver relic. It shone on Harold. It seemed that he was clothed with a holy coat, making him very much like an "angel" of the theology of truth.
Really gave the magic!
The dwarves, such as Mirna, were excited and excited, witnessing the miracles themselves, and witnessing the Lord's care for the dwarves!
Harold's breath grew rapidly, and he slowly stopped when he reached bishop level.
Seeing this, the elder Augustus quietly breathed a sigh of relief. According to the standards of the field of divine magic, he was a fifth-level bishop, and Harold was a third-level. He was still the leader of the night dwarf family and still a steam church. archbishop!
After that, the dwarves came to the holy object one by one in order to pray, but not everyone can get the seeds of faith and grow a heart of faith. Only seven or eight dwarves such as Mirna were given the magic. The same Only Mirna and Quiggins became third-level bishops like Harold.
But at this time, the rest of the dwarves did not complain, because they were given the most devout believers, that is, those who rely on "piety" to become the leader, even if they are not so religious, they must show very Religious appearance, otherwise how to dominate subordinates.
At the end of the ritual, Archbishop Augustus re-emerged before the holy relic, and said with a serious solemnity: "Divinity contradicts our goal of building Atlantis on the ground, so the Lord told us not to show off this thing, otherwise It is easy to get lost in power. He warns us to keep this secret and only to show it quietly in front of devout believers. Whoever tells an outsider, or if there is no need, casts divinity in front of an outsider, who will Be taken back and become a sinner! "
He didn't really understand why the great **** of steam lowered such a shrine, but realized the miracles, and after getting the god, he dare not have any doubt about it.
Harrods, Mirna, Kyquins and other dwarves are even more afraid to have questions, all covering their eyes with their right hands:
"You will obey your teachings. You are the master of life and death, the king of kings, and the **** of God."
The milky white luster surrounded by silver and white "relics" gradually dimmed. If a teacher or legend exists, you can see a vast universe hidden in the light, and the stars in it emit different colors of light.
Atomic universe.
Lucien floats on a relatively solid planet of silicon, in front of which is an altar with intricate magic patterns, and on the altar is a statue of a bald dwarf.
The statue is composed of hand-polished metal parts, with a layer of cold and mysterious luster, and the head is painted with the dark blue mysterious pattern, like the electromagnetic waves of the mind are constantly emitted.
The sacred and solemn milky white light continually converges from the void, entangled on this statue, and they constantly fly in and out, gradually merging together, forming a unique feeling of vastness and transcendence.
The light spots that have not yet been merged are like little angels flying. If you focus on listening, you can faintly hear different prayers, praises, and chants, and they will create an empty holiness around them.
Divine power flows from the statue and feeds back into the altar. He draws magical power from the altar to maintain it. Divine magic and magic in such a situation, unprecedented harmony!
"Unfortunately, the heart of faith is contradictory to the cognitive world. Otherwise, we can also perform divine magic without relying on items to assist." There were four people floating beside Lucien, including Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, and Natasha. And it was Douglas who made this sigh.
Although the magician can also build the cognitive world based on some belief foundations, just like Altyr, when the cognitive world collapses and breaks, instead of bursting his head, he is devoured by the light. But this does not mean that he can perform divine magic. Unless he completely transforms the cognitive world and solidifies into a heart of faith, the same reason, except for the god-like being in a superimposed state. No clergyman can build a cognitive world with a heart of faith. Cast magic.
Lucien nodded slightly: "The two are not even the same foundation. One is constructed based on the essence and mystery of the world, mainly based on its own cognition, and the other is gradually obtained by the spirit of the idea and belief. Will I lost part of my ego. In this experiment, I hope to explore the details of the mystery of the false god. Unlike before, there is only a rough conjecture. There is no substantial progress. "
This is the path of the gods improved by Tanos, Viken, and others. It is very different from the pseudo-gods advanced by primitive methods such as the "Dark Dragon God" captured earlier, and it can better embody the essence.
"Existence is the truth. Regardless of whether we are willing to admit it or not, we want to take this road. The existence of the" **** "itself manifests a certain aspect of the nature of the world. Therefore, we cannot escape, we must face up, a truly determined Arcanist Do not deviate from your beliefs because of the study of the mysteries of the gods, Lucian, you can carry out research in this area, it is very valuable. "Douglas has a very broad mind.
Lucian smiled, "I hope that Your Excellency the Speaker, Teacher, and Mother-in-law Hathaway can keep me secret. In the case that we have concealed the god-like method before, I am worried that this matter will make other members of the highest jury suspect me. Attentively, wait until there are certain research results before publishing it. "
He first filed matters with several Arcanist.
"God is mysterious, I don't know what you're thinking." Fernando glared at Lucian. In his opinion, such a reason is too far-fetched, but instead of tearing down Lucian's stage, he intends to see his true thoughts in the future.
Hathaway took out a magic notebook and combined the actual situation of the altar and special divine items (statues) to study the questions left over from the past: "You can only give ten dwarven divinities?"
"The power of faith accumulated in the past has disappeared a lot because there is no support. At present, the power of the statue cannot support the magical gifts of more than five people, nor can it reach the intermediate level. Fortunately, when I made the statue, I exchanged a few truth gods. The medium-to-high-end divine items of the Church of the Mother of God, the Church of the Mother of God, and the Church of the Craftsmanship allow the statue itself to have strong divine power, which can achieve the current effect, but in the short term, this is also the limit. "Lucy En explained in detail.
After Douglas, Fernando, and Hathaway collected the first-hand materials and left, Natasha looked at the dwarf statue with curiosity: "I never knew that your aesthetic taste had such a serious problem. I actually like bald heads, and I still paint With patterns ... "
As for the dwarves, she can understand, after all, this is the **** of steam against the dwarves.
Lucian chuckled: "This dwarf statue is called 'Yuri'."
"Yuri ... what's the connection?" Natasha asked puzzledly.
…………
High tower.
Samantha was sitting alone in her own study, watching the air in front of her quietly, as if there were a sound of muttering or shouting in her ears.
"Maybe something is wrong with determinism. Some processes are probabilistic and irreversible ..."
"Determinism must die ..."
Over this period of time, this phrase has entangled her like a nightmare, making her dazed, confused, and frustrated. The most terrifying thing is that some experiments currently completed seem to explain the uncertainty and probability of microscopic particles.
She raised her hand, held her forehead, and whispered, "Arcane needs life, so determinism must die?"
The voice was full of bitterness and resistance 咚咚咚, she heard the rapid footsteps and a series of footsteps from outside, so she opened the door and saw a tower magician Meet in a room.
"What's wrong?" Samantha saw her good friend Rachel.
Rachel's expression was confused and painful: "Haven committed suicide ..."
"Suicide?" Samantha asked in surprise, suicide? Not to explode his head and die, but to commit suicide?
At present, there are not enough important experiments to confirm uncertainty and probability. All the thought experiments just conceived cannot refute them. Therefore, even if Havin is a firm supporter of determinism, it will not be affected by the cognitive world Of solid.
This also leaves enough time for others to wait.
"Perhaps it was the development of arcane that made him desperate ..." Rachel whispered.
