Behind Chapter 730
Dang, dang, three melodious bells rang in a row, and all the dwarves outside the temple of the "God of Craftsmen" paused, clenched their right hands into fists, made a beating gesture, and prayed in unison:
"Great god of steam, you are the master of machinery, who controls the art of forging and gives us strength and courage......"
Katrina, who was about to turn around and leave, was slightly stunned, when did the craftsman god become the god of steam? The council doesn't seem to pay enough attention to the dwarven kingdom of Dumut.
"However, this 'Steam God' seems to be different from the 'Steam God' believed by the alchemy dwarves of Rentat, and there are some significant differences in prayer gestures and prayer words." While Katrina, Heidi and other friends were wandering around the alchemy workshop in Rentat, they encountered dwarves who came out of the plateau at night and were impressed by their strange prayer posture with their eyes covered.
She looked around and saw that the humans, werewolves, elves and other non-dwarven races walking on the street had also stopped, and although they did not pray, they didn't seem to want to affect the noon prayer ritual of the dwarves, so she stopped as well, thinking to herself: "Judging from their familiar and natural actions, it should be a while since the god of craftsmen became the god of steam."
The gradually neat sound of prayer created a peculiar resonance, allowing even the living beings who did not pray to feel that grand and sacred, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of wine, which was intoxicating.
This is the biggest feature of the Dwarf Kingdom of Dumut, the dwarves like not only ale, all kinds of fine wine are within their defense range, and a large part of the merchants who come and go here are peddling fine wine in exchange for ores, dwarven alchemy items, etc.
Dwarves whose bloodlines have been transformed by magicians have basic spiritual power, and with their own skillful skills and talents, it is not difficult to create apprentice-level alchemy items, while low- and mid-level items require dwarves who have stimulated the power of bloodlines to create them.
As for high-level alchemy items, dwarves that can be forged are very rare, and the success rate is far lower than that of magicians, and truly legendary items (not semi-finished products) can only be done by "Craftsman God" Haight with his own talents, and "God of Valor" Okon cannot complete it.
Different places wafted with different aromas of wine, and they mixed together seemed to be able to make people with very shallow drinking directly get drunk or feel uncomfortable, but Katrina was born in the Shahran Empire, and her drinking capacity was extraordinary, not only did she not disgust, but she took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes.
After the noon prayer, Katrina followed the crowd back to the hotel where she lived, closed the windows, and began to meditate to recharge for the night's activities - although the dwarves themselves were limited in height, but they had the blood of "steam civilization" in their veins, and they liked exquisite but grand buildings from the bottom of their hearts, so as long as they were not giants coming to Dumut, they would not feel too restrained, and the average indoor height of the stone houses here was four meters.
The time soon reached the middle of the night, and groups of dwarf soldiers on the street were patrolling faithfully and vigilantly, because the craftsman god suddenly turned into the god of steam and the "god of valor" surrendered to him, and the kingdom of Dumut was actually in a state of instability.
Katrina first arranged a magic circle that eliminated magic fluctuations, and then blessed herself with spells such as high invisibility - although the Dumut Kingdom has no prejudice against magicians, and there is a lot of awe when encountering spellcasters, but what she has to do is related to their supreme spiritual leader "Craftsman God", and it is necessary to be cautious.
Falling to the ground like a feather, Katrina sneaked towards the temple of the "God of Steam", while looking up at the stars and the surrounding environment, calculating the position where the statue should be placed according to the coordinate change law given by the teacher.
"Why does this formula still need the specific coordinates of several major temples and the types and coordinates of the surrounding buildings......" Katrina silently recited the many parameters needed in her heart, her expression was quite confused, she really couldn't understand the law of this coordinate change, what exactly was it going to calculate, and why did she need so many strange parameters?
But this was the teacher's order, she didn't think much about it, after spending a lot of time going around, she finally calculated the specific coordinates, and then, she quietly walked towards a white stone sculpture in the southeast direction of the "God of Steam" temple.
"Is this a statue of Haight?" Katrina took a closer look.
The dwarf statue was dressed in armor carved with sacred patterns, holding a giant hammer in his hand, his beard dragging to his chest, covering his face, and two dazzling sunstones in his eyes.
"Compared to that, the statue given by the teacher is really ugly......" Katrina took out the statuette Lucian gave her, laughed and shook her head, "The teacher's aesthetics are always fluctuating up and down."
No one can deny Lucian's aesthetics in music, magic tower construction, and moon clocks, and the many ideas proposed by the "Voice of the Mystery" are also eye-catching, but many times, the ideas and creations he proposes are too unique to be accepted, such as this dwarf statue assembled from many metal parts, which originally shone with a cold and cold smell, which looked very good, but he had a large bald head with dark blue strange patterns engraved on it, giving people the strange illusion that their minds were shaking when they saw it.
Restraining her smile, Katrina focused her attention and, as Lucian instructed, let the bald dwarf statue float in the heart of Haight, the "God of Craftsmen", and then whispered a long and complicated spell.
Although this spell was written in the script of the ancient magic empire, it had a strange sense of sacredness and ethereality, and gradually, silver-white light appeared on the statues of the bald dwarfs, and they extended around, like a big net that controlled people's hearts.
"You are the master of the mind, the emperor of the gods, and you are the great god of steam...... Allow me to call on your name, O Yuri the High, give me the power to control everything......"
In the sound of the spell, the silver-white lines of light partially extended into the heart of the Haight statue, and some blended with the surrounding void, causing bursts of vibrations.
In the midst of the shaking, a little bit of pure and holy light appeared, like tiny angels, emitting ethereal and beautiful songs, praises and prayers, "dancing" around Yuri's statue.
Such movement seemed to be frozen around him, and the temple in the distance was unresponsive.
The vibration of the void was suddenly violent, and those tiny points of light merged into Yuri's statue one after another, and Yuri's statue slowly blurred and disappeared in place, and no trace could be found again!
"Merged with nearby time and space?" Katrina looked at this scene, her eyes were deeply shocked, what happened just now was really a scene she had never seen before, "This is the subtlety of legendary power? But why is there still a bit of illusory magical aura......"
She shook her head, restrained her emotions, carefully erased the traces of the vicinity, and returned to the hotel.
When Katrina's figure disappeared at the end of the street, a black bird suddenly flew down from the dark sky, with a handful of funny and pale and cold feathers on its head.
The bird hovered and landed on the head of the "craftsman god" Haight, making a difficult sound that only existed around him: "Lucian Evans is indeed secretly collecting faith, and he seems to be very confident in his theory...... How dare you directly steal the power of Haidt's faith......"
「…… I actually sent a student to complete this matter, and I almost hid it from everyone, if it weren't for me......"
"No, I have to find a way to remind Hite that Lucian Evans can't smoothly collect the power of faith, otherwise he is likely to be the fastest ...... to step into the god-like level."
It flew down from the head of the statue and circled nearby, emitting a strange and terrifying cry of "Du" and "Du" from its mouth, as if informing a living being of the time of his death.
…………
Katrina's third day out of Hamina.
While patrolling, a group of dwarf soldiers discovered the "Cultists" who were slandering and attacking the "Steam God" Haight, and engaged in a fierce battle with them.
There was actually a high-level spellcaster in this group of cultists, and for a while, the dwarves were killed and injured badly, but fortunately, there was Haight's temple nearby, and several high priests quickly arrived and surrounded the group of cultists in a nearby square.
The power of divine magic burst out everywhere, and all kinds of strange scenes appeared in the square, and the cultists fell one by one, and the square was also on the verge of destruction.
Boom! The High Priest and the Cultist's high-level spellcaster fought against each other with a "Yang Flame Explosion", and the aftermath swept through the square, blowing the Haight statue to pieces, causing a little sacred light and silver-white lines to flicker away.
It was this flash that caused Haight, the "God of Craftsmen" in the depths of the temple, to open his eyes, and two golden flames burned fiercely, just like his angry heart.
He stretched out his hand, and the statue of the bald Yuri appeared in his palm.
"Who dares to steal the power of my faith!" Haight's voice was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The god of steam? Lucian Evans!"
The angry wind swept through the entire temple, and a golden flame fell from the sky, directly burning the high-level spellcaster to ashes.
After carefully checking the survivors' memories, Haidt was silent for a moment and said hatefully: "You can steal the power of my faith, and so can I!"
His gaze was projected on the statue of Yuri in his palm, and then a golden flame carefully wrapped it up, as if he was afraid of alarming something.
…………
In the atomic universe, the statue of Yuri, the "God of Steam", flashed a faint golden light and quickly merged and disappeared.
Lucian in the Magic Tower was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look outside, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
