Chapter 458 The Heart of Faith (Second Update)
"Douglas, this is your student?" The brilliant fireworks dissipated, and Fernando said with a slight mockery.
Douglas smiled bitterly, and his whole body seemed to be much older: "Since Brooke became a great arcanist by relying on electromagnetic theory and wave theory system, I felt that something was wrong with Altir.
At this point, he sighed softly: "But he seemed to have sensed something, and quickly came to me to confess, saying that he wanted to use the power of the church to deal with Brooke, not because he believed in the God of truth, and that the more the church trusted him, the easier it would be for us to deal with them at critical moments. I thought that he had studied with me for more than a hundred years, growing up little by little from a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and I knew his personality and thoughts better, so I did not directly invade his mind, but chose to believe temporarily and test it with other methods."
"And in events such as electronic discovery and artificial planets, his performance and cooperation are quite good, so I relaxed my vigilance, and he has always expressed disdain and resentment towards fluctuations......
It wasn't until this time that Norman and Luciana came back to their senses, Altil turned out to be an undercover agent of the church, and he was swallowed by the Holy Light, instead of blowing his head? He knows magic instead of magic!
"Unless the cognitive world is projected onto the main material world to form a half-plane, we have no way to check whether there are traces of divine creation." Fernando's expression was extremely serious. In his opinion, although magicians progress faster the closer they get to reality, they cannot compare with clergy in this regard, their power comes from their faith, if there is a problem with their faith, they will lose their power, and even be swallowed by the holy light, and there is no way to send undercover agents, even if there are, they belong to the low-level type.
Lucian nodded thoughtfully, after integrating the light of faith into his cognitive world, although Altil could not use divine magic, he seemed to be half a small cleric, so after his trust in the God of Truth was shaken, the holy light in the cognitive world exploded with the collapse, devouring him before his head exploded, which was in stark contrast to the old mage who believed in the God of Truth but blew out his head before, which was probably related to whether the parts related to gods in their respective cognitive worlds were dominant.
According to this logic, there seem to be some traces of heresy within the Cult of Truth that Sarde, the pope and saint of the Northern Church, encountered.
It seems that as long as they maintain faith in the God of truth, no matter how much they change, no matter how much they change their doctrine and cognition, they can use divine magic and will not be swallowed up by the holy light.
"But after the events in the necromancer world, Sald, a heretical sect within the Truth Cult, doesn't seem to be so devout to the God of Truth......" Lucian rubbed his chin suspiciously.
"Actually, I was suspicious of Altier at first, but I dispelled my doubts after he knew about Evans' miracle experiment." Norman, a member of the Panel, said in hindsight, "He also has two friends who are members of the Panel, which can indirectly affect many things."
This kind of high-level magician with old qualifications, no matter how bad his personality is, he has many friends.
"I'll let Vicente review those two committee members." Douglas said succinctly.
Lucian, on the other hand, analyzed the composition of Altir's cognitive world with great interest: "Knowing that the miracle experiment is fine, probably because he did not witness it with his own eyes, and was mentally prepared, knowing that this experiment only showed the possibility of the natural birth of the source of life, neither able to completely deny the theory of creationism, nor the theory for follow-up guidance, and could not find the path from the source of life to the true life, but the new alchemy gave a complete and real theoretical system. He created new magic to control the authority of creation, so he couldn't accept it."
"From this point of view, in his cognitive world, the God of truth should be in the position of 'the root of all things' and 'the original creator'." Fernando came to a conclusion, and then turned his gaze to Douglas, "I was originally talking to you about how to use 'New Alchemy' to attack the church, but I didn't expect to find out a church spy first."
"If the 'new alchemy' waits until the neutrons discover and create new magic that permanently changes matter before it is released, the church will have to fall at least one or two Holy Spirit pastors, but now, Altil is dead, and the church will soon be able to detect it, and when they are mentally prepared, things will be difficult." Douglas regained his calm and calm demeanor, but without a kind smile.
Fernando's bright red eyes were a storm of horror: "Didn't you test him? You should know the contact code and methods, seize this opportunity, and deal a heavy blow to the church."
"I'm afraid it's difficult to do it with the 'New Alchemy' that has not been verified, so I'll find Atlanta to come over and plan the steps to create the best hint atmosphere." Douglas nodded slightly, and signaled that Norman and Luciana could not leave for the time being.
…………
Holm Royal Magic Tower, inside the Elemental Will headquarters.
LaVenti received a thick paper and a thin piece of information to be reviewed.
"New alchemy? Lucian Evans?" Lavindi, who had never seen such a simple and general thesis title for the first time, frowned slightly.
However, he knew that Lucian was a rigorous and upright person, and he must have his purpose in writing this, so he didn't dwell on this question too much, opened the paper, and continued reading.
Elemental and alchemy are not separated, and the Holm Crown Award represents the highest honor in the two fields of elemental and alchemy, so four of the arcane review committee members of the Elemental Will are authorities in the field of alchemy.
At this look, LaVendi fell into it, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and his hands trembled a little like a real old man, which showed the shock and excitement in his heart.
After a long time, he roared in a low voice slightly out of control: "This is the deep mystery of matter?"
His vision became a little blurred, and it seemed that a white-haired and thin old man appeared in front of Lavindi, wearing an elemental robe, lying on the bed, and the failure of the ritual of transforming into a lich made his soul close to collapse, but he said extremely seriously and fanatically:
"Ravendi, do you know what the word 'alchemy' means?"
"He represents our magician's dream of controlling material changes!"
"Instead of me, continue to walk on this road!"
LaVenti closed his eyes and whispered to himself: "Teacher, did you see it? New Alchemy!"
Immersed in this atmosphere, Ravendi took a long time to recover, opened the information, and immediately frowned: "Altil is a spy of the church? After watching the new alchemy, my faith was shaken and I was swallowed by the holy light?"
After reading the content again, he called the students waiting outside in: "Find out who in the organization has a close relationship with Altir."
"Why?" His student asked puzzled.
Lavendi repeated the content of the information seriously and solemnly, and then said, "Do you understand?"
"Understood." His student was about to turn around and asked, "Teacher, can this content be revealed? Or is it a secret censorship?"
"It can be revealed that this intelligence does not require high permissions." Lavindi thought of the advice behind the information.
When the students go out, he gets up and goes to the laboratory to prepare to verify the discovery of protons, etc., before he can write the evaluation results.
Mr. Ravendi has always been a rigorous and serious arcanist.
…………
Within a plane and a half plane, Prado, another member of the alchemy field, stood respectfully by the desk and waited.
And the black-haired and black-eyed man behind the desk, who couldn't tell his age and always had a smirk, seemed to have fallen into a dream, and even a little blonde girl-looking doll came in with a teacup, and he didn't open his eyes.
After a long time, Klaus sighed and said, "I finally saw this day alive."
Looking at the delicate and expressionless doll, and then at the bright blue sky outside the window, he laughed softly:
"The world is so beautiful."
"How far can the new alchemy go?"
…………
Inside the Glorious Cathedral in Holm.
As soon as Philippe finished praying, he sensed a cardinal rushing over, seemingly quite panicked.
"Your Excellency Cardinal, archangel level intelligence!" Before Philippe could reprimand the cardinal for calming down, he heard the shocking news.
Archangel level? Douglas promoted? Do they really hold some authority of the gods?
Many doubts arose in Philippe's mind, but in any case, the importance of the archangel representative was self-evident, so he took the information as thick as a book and ordered the cardinal to invite Stone.
「…… Archangel ...... Sure enough, from Altir...... It has important material attached to it, with a curse ......" After seeing the words on the cover, Philippe Bell carefully examined it and found that the small pocket attached to this information did indeed emit a faint cursed aura, so he trusted this information more and more.
"Philibel, what archangel-level intelligence?" Bahá'u'lláh was in the Basilica of Radiance, and he got the news through the connection of the divine circle, and soon appeared in the study.
Philip Bell saw that the two legends were already present and had witnesses, so he opened the intelligence cover and read the thick paper.
Bahá'u'lláh, who was dizzy when he saw the complex magic and arcane symbols above, simply withdrew his gaze and waited for Philip Bell to summarize. Is the whole document archangel level?
As he read, Philip Bell's body trembled violently, his eyes were full of anger, he skipped the quantized structure, the outer electrons and the alchemy part, and directly looked at the place he was most concerned about.
「…… From the radioactive material, I found trace amounts of new elements, which perfectly matched the phenomenon I described as the decay of the radiating helium nucleus into a new element......"
A line of black words appears here: "Refer to the important material that comes with it."
Felibel quickly opened the black pocket and saw a ball of ore with many magic marks. It was marked as red as a whole, and as three vague rays of black, white, and green flew out, a little bit of red turned into blue and turned into dark green.
Trace traces are marked by magic amplification, and magic fluctuations are masked by curses.
This substance is not fake, but it is magically marked to show the whole process in a demonstration way.
"This is a kind of elemental decay into a new element......" Philippe Bell continued to look at the paper as if by magic:
「…… This is not only our desire for wealth, but also our true yearning for the world, wanting to hold the mystery of material change in our human hands!"
"However, for thousands of years, no alchemical reaction has been able to make changes at the fundamental level of matter, and there is no need for a constant magic circle to continue to exist...... We humans seem to have stopped at the door of the material mystery, before the so-called forbidden area of the gods......"
Thinking of the previous proton neutron electronic structure, thinking of Lucian's description of the decay process, Filipe Bell panicked like never before, as if he knew something.
"Now, starting from the internal structure of atoms, from the nature of decay, we can find the way to truly transform matter, to create new elements! According to my theory, although the cost and results may be disproportionate, it means that we have truly stepped into the forbidden area of the gods, come into contact with the mysteries of matter, and are about to fulfill the dreams of countless generations of magicians!"
With a bang, Philippe felt panic, hatred and anger rushing into his mind, and the peace of mind brought by long-term prayer quietly disintegrated.
"They actually peek into the authority of creation! Lucian Evans dared to step into the forbidden area of the gods!"
This is no longer accusation and slander, but conclusive testimony that in the foreseeable future, Lucian Evans will truly enter the realm of this god!
Just as he was about to vent his fear, several cardinals came in one after another, holding up the information in their hands:
"Your Excellency Cardinal, Altil has been hit by the new alchemy and has been swallowed by the Holy Light!"
"Your Excellency, it has been confirmed that Altir's faith has been shaken and the holy light has erupted!"
Although they didn't know that Altier was an undercover agent before, they could tell from the devouring of the Holy Light.
A series of voices sounded just right, making Philippe Bell a little dazed: "Aren't you still waiting for the discovery of neutrons to verify?"
At the end of the information, there was a line of words that suddenly turned bright red under the irradiation of radioactive materials:
"Altil has been swallowed by the Holy Light, what about you?"
The "red" substance in his left hand was still emitting rays, and it was still transforming into new elements of blue and green little by little, just like the sound of Philippe's heartbeat and the pulse of faith!
Dong dong dong, there seemed to be a noise in Feibel's ears, and he couldn't take his eyes off the decaying thing, and even verified it with divine magic.
"Decay is real, new elements are real, which is very much in line with Lucian Evans' description, if you control this process and reverse this process, then you may really be able to control the changes in matter."
Dong Dong Dong, the panic and suspicion in Philip Bell's heart seemed to have turned into the devil, which made him shake slightly:
"This does not detract from the greatness of the gods, who are still the cause and original power of all things, but if a mortal can do something as great as a god, then the gods ......."
"Lucian Evans!"
Bahá'u'lláh's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had a premonition of danger.
Outside the Radiant Cathedral, passers-by suddenly saw a majestic, sacred and solemn light rising from the core, and within the range, everything was completely vaporized. The divine magic defense array that had been arranged in the Radiant Cathedral for many years was activated, and the flowing holy light worked hard to eliminate the huge pillar of light.
Seeing this brilliant and sacred scene, seeing the completely destroyed building at the core of the Cathedral of Glory and the clergy who could not escape, Douglas in the distance sighed softly: "For hundreds of years, we have not damaged the Cathedral of Glory, but today we almost destroyed it completely."
"It's a pity that Filipel's faith doesn't seem to be religious enough." "Cursed Eye," Atlante said to Douglas, Fernando, and Lucian with his eyes closed.
The pillar of light disappeared, and Bahá'u'lláh in mid-air looked at the church below that had been mostly destroyed, looking at the clergy who did not know how much had been lost, and was both furious and glad that he could not read the paper.
"Philibel, are you okay?" He asked with concern, and Felipel was kneeling in repentance in the center of the Great Destruction Hollow.
Philippe, who was dressed in tattered clothes, said bitterly: "The heart of faith has been shaken, not only can I no longer be promoted, but I have also taken a step back, only at the level of the first time I have entered the Holy Spirit."
It has been changed.
