Chapter 792 snooping
If it were someone else, he might only be able to guess the approximate range of "suspects", but Benedict III clearly knew that Lucian only mastered negative emotions and the mysteries of ancient demons, and had no way to steal and use the power of faith, and was also secretly developing the Steam Cult and intending to intercept the power of faith of the "God of Craftsmen" Haight, so it is very likely that Lucian Evans exchanged their own methods with the Northern Church to achieve the purpose of compensating for each other.
Of course, with the mind of Pope "Viken", it will not be determined on this basis, after all, it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately did this to muddy up the situation.
"If it were really you, 'acting skills' really surpassed all theater actors......" Benedict III restrained his expression, but his tone was still a little gritted teeth.
When he tempted Lucian before, he rejected it righteously, saying that it was just an experiment, and what he needed was only to discover the essential mystery contained in it, rather than really wanting to take this path, and he was dismissive of Thanos and the god-like methods he had created......
"We need to first determine whether the Berkovsky gang has the power of emotion and the power of faith to combine the power of emotion to impact the part of the god-like secret...... If so, we have to speed up the progress, and we must do it before they try to break through the god-like ......" All the negative emotions of Benedict III quickly disappeared, and he returned to the monster Viken through the "channel" of inexplicable contact, no longer entangled in Lucian's possible "deception", but thought about what he should do most at the moment.
Although Thanos and the god-like method he created helped him and him become god-like, there were many coincidences and luck in this process, and there were changes that he still couldn't understand at all, so the success rate was much lower than the actual performance.
However, no matter how low the probability is, it cannot be ruled out, so you must confirm it first and then change your plan reasonably.
Benedict III stroked the platinum scepter beside him, looking out the window with distant eyes: "...... In addition, you have to get the list of Lucian Evans exchange materials in the past two years, maybe you can find something from it...... 'Dead Bird', it's time for you to play a role, it's not that I'm going to threaten you and order you, violating the premise of cooperation, but this is also related to your future, you know what is best for yourself......"
…………
A week later, Benedict III's desk had an additional list of Lucian Evans' exchange materials for the last three years.
As a magician, you need to conduct endless experiments and refine suitable items or devices, so this list is hundreds of pages long, and it can make people dizzy at a glance, and there is no way to find anything useful from it.
"I'm afraid anyone else won't be able to discover your true purpose......" Benedict III's face was as heavy as water, constantly looking at it, constantly drawing circles on a certain material.
If there are few matches, it means that it is just a coincidence, if this list contains most of the "god-like method materials", then the answer is self-evident - as a legendary magician, Lucian obviously has his own treasure trove and his own source of materials, not all of them need to be exchanged from the council.
Black circles were drawn on the white paper, and Benedict III's face became more and more gloomy, until he finished outlining the hundreds of pages of materials before he stared at the last blank space with solemn eyes: "It contains eighty-seven kinds of materials required by the divine method, accounting for 73% of the materials required for the entire method......"
Suddenly, He raised his head slightly: "These eighty-seven materials contain some of the materials needed to combine the power of emotion and the power of faith to impact the god-like ritual! How did Lucian Evans switch from other legends to this last step? Or did he research it himself?"
In other legendary magicians, even Douglas and Benedict III would not speculate like this, but Lucian himself has been studying the power of faith and the power of emotions for many years, and has also opened the "Immortal Chamber", seen the "secret of immortality", and is good at creating miracles, and has put forward theories that people can't even imagine, so if it were him, it might really be possible to rely on his own research to complete the "god-like method" in his hand in such a short period of time!
「…… He must not be promoted to a god-like position, otherwise before I am sure, maybe he will break through to the true god......" Benedict III narrowed his eyes.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up: "There was news from the Dark Mountains before, Lucian Evans has completed the state transformation, and with the preparation of materials, he may try to impact the ...... in the next year or two."
「…… The 'Dead Bird' and other legends who are willing to cooperate must pay close attention to his movements and pay attention to his Steam Cult ......."
…………
In the icy month (December), the water drips into ice, and the whole of Rentat is covered with a snow-white coat.
Augustus led Harold, Myrna and other core priests of the Steam God Cult to worship the silver-white "Nuclear Bomb Artifact", worshiping the embodiment of the power of this "Steam God", expressing gratitude to the Supreme Lord for the past year and praying for blessings in the new year.
They covered their eyes with their right hands and prostrated themselves on the ground, praising the god of steam in their hearts, praising the god of steam, and reporting the harvest of spreading the glory of the Lord themselves in the previous year.
At this moment, the silver-white "nuclear bomb" glowed with a soft luster, and the empty light shone on them.
They trembled slightly, feeling a divine and transcendent power that eliminated some hidden anxiety in their hearts, and suddenly, their mood became more peaceful and peaceful, and they prayed in unison:
"You rule over everything, control the boundaries between life and death, are the King of kings, the God of God."
A silver-white ray came out of the "nuclear bomb" and fell on the head of Archbishop Augustus, and then everything returned to its original state.
Augustus slowly stood up and said solemnly and implicitly excitedly: "The Lord sent an oracle asking us to hold a prostration on the last weekend of every month from now on, and changed some of the prayers so that His glory could shine on other dwarves besides us and save them from the temptation and coercion of false gods!"
"May your word walk on earth as it walks in your kingdom." The other dwarves replied in unison.
After staying in Rentat for a long time, they were inevitably influenced by the Doctrine of Truth and integrated some prayers into their own "Mechanical Apocalypse".
When the service was over, when Augustus led the core priests to preach to the other dwarves, a dark mass suddenly appeared over the silver-white "nuclear bomb", and a bird with a strong sense of death fell, carefully examining the remaining breath on the "silver-white nuclear bomb".
"Prostration once a month, change the prayer, hum, can't you wait......" The bird made a difficult and strange sound.
After the sound of "Du" and "Du", the bird quietly disappeared, and at this time, an extremely evil aura emerged out of thin air, circling in the chapel for a few seconds.
…………
"The recent changes in the Steaming Cult...... Pope Benedict III already has several more pieces of information about this.
He was expressionless, tapping the table gently, and said to himself: "It seems that his progress is faster than I expected, and he is already making the best preparations.
Benedict III leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of his chair, and asked himself in his heart: "Where will you hide to complete your promotion?"
Thinking of this, He suddenly snorted softly: "No matter where you hide, I can find you. Others may not be able to do it, but as long as you follow the path of the power of faith, you can't hide it from me!"
He took out an exquisite statuette from somewhere with a bald dwarf carved on it, and the top of his head was densely covered with strange patterns.
Viken closed his eyes and stroked the statue of the bald dwarf with his right hand, a little bit of divine brilliance that was difficult for others to see, as if there were little angels surrounding it.
On top of this bald dwarf statue, a layer of changeable and untouchable divine brilliance slowly rose, and countless illusory lines extended from the void.
"Where the power of faith converges, where it converges......" Viken suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out:
"The projection place of the dark mountains in the Necromancer Realm!"
