"Come on what I said, Feichi. First, pray to the goddess to light the light and illuminate the world before her, just as dawn pierces the darkness and the sun rises slowly."
Feiqi was a smart student, but not a good student. He blinked his eyes, stretched out his index finger, and recited a spell in a gentle voice. A ball of light emerged from the center of the spiral of the fingerprint and slowly floated up. At first it was a faint light like a firefly, gradually becoming stronger. When it became as bright as a candle, Feiqi blew it gently, sending it into the higher air, illuminating the master and apprentice from above his head.
"Is this a spell? I've never seen such a beautiful casting action, and I can even evaluate it with grace. But this is not a magical technique." Old man Kipling shook his head, obviously dissatisfied: "I know there are many ways to generate light, and the scythe and flint impact and then use fuel to create a brighter and warmer fire than this. But now I'm asking you to use a specific method to create light."
"Sir Snow Owl, I didn't mean to argue. I just don't understand why there must be a specific method and a magical technique?"
"You need to show respect to the goddess, not only because you are in the Fortress of the Ice Peak, but also because there is no light without the goddess."
Feiqi shook his head, he did not accept this statement. Light has many attributes, some kind of electromagnetic wave, the picture of the occurrence of quantum probability of light, the release effect when particles acquire energy but are not enough to jump, the speed of information transmission, time... It has many positive explanations and sketches, but none of them is "the creation of a certain god". Oh, maybe there is really such a statement, but Feiqi doesn't believe it.
Not believing is harder to change than believing sometimes.
"Is there no light before the goddess? I remember there was a period of time when the Creator was the former Lord, and there was no light at that time?"
Old man Kipling shook his head: "The goddess has nothing to do with creation, but it has something to do with existence. After the Creator's former Lord, the goddess took over the world and allowed it to continue to operate. We are not in the bottomless abyss, nor in the kingdom of God, but in the mortal world that is most suitable for us. This is the goddess's merit."
"Fech, do you know the place of chaos? It is a very terrifying place created by the demon. Nothing can exist stably, and there is no concept to talk about. If you fall in, you will be a human in the first second, and you may become a bird in the next second, and then you may become a sand or a fart in the next second? No one knows what will happen, and even the demons don't know. In our world, when you recite spells, there will be gentle, obedient lights, instead of suddenly a giant popping up, or a malicious spell that specifically kills you. This is the goddess's merit, you should be grateful."
Feiqi put away the ball of light dancing in the air, sat on the chair without saying a word, thinking in silence. The Goddess of Truth, the Goddess of Thunder and her angels are enemies of the devil and are mortal beings. This idea has always been rooted in Feiqi's mind. Objectively speaking, this is actually true, just like seeing someone sitting opposite him saying that he is bald. But if there is a bunch of hair on the back of his head that cannot be seen, and even braided with long braids, but it is blocked by his broad shoulders and upright body?
The goddess and the devil are opposed. Is this idea objective, but complete? Feiqi always thought that he could treat the gods and demons in this world objectively, treat them equally, develop the theory of soul spells and be proud of it, but did it really do it? Can he say that he was not influenced by the devil in his soul?
Feiqi can use the devil's tricks and abilities at will. Although he still has restraint, he has no obstacles in his heart - the charred corpse of the nightmare can prove this. But once it is replaced with magic, even if it is just a try, all kinds of emotions will come out. Resist, rejection, tension, fear, and even jealousy towards the magic users. They do not need to learn, but only need to pray and loyalty to use powerful spells. Perhaps there is also contempt, thinking that what they master is the truth, and they will definitely crush them in the future.
Why are you so arrogant?
Abandoning arrogance, Fitch used the calmness of his approach to the program, or even mechanically, to review his understanding of the world, and found that the fork-way demon still affected himself unknowingly. There is a devil in the soul, which is true, but it should affect how others view themselves, so he must make corresponding prevention and change, rather than how he viewed himself and how he viewed the world.
Let’s put the opposition between good and evil aside, and then look at the truth Goddess Thunder. Think about the words of Old Man Kiplin, and then you can find out the common point between the devil and the goddess: keeping order. Truth is a norm, and the devil’s contract is also a norm; Goddess use inspiration and thunder to protect the truth, and the devil uses interests and terror to execute the contract. They have great differences in good and evil in their actions, but they are undoubtedly orderly.
Based on the point of keeping order, can we express our respect to the Goddess of Truth?
Feichi could not think of a reason to not do this.
"Even if it's just for 1=1." Feiqi calmed down and began to pray to the goddess.
This time it was praying, not speaking, or complaining in his heart. Feiqi strengthened the goddess's side in his mind, imagining her as a complex of rules and managers, a guardian of the stability of the world. In this way, his prejudices gradually eliminated in his heart, smoothed out the knots, and formed a smooth path.
At this time, he found that the magic covers the spiritual light belt and constantly consumes his physical strength. There must be another devil's aura, but it finally didn't leak out. He raised his eyes and looked at Old Man Kiplin, and saw expectations and encouragement from his old eyes. Will the old man harm him? No. If the devil's aura appears, what will the old man do? Treat, persuasion and protection, and will not harm him. Will the goddess drop down the thunder and attack him, the devil? Perhaps, but most likely will not. I did not do evil things, I protected the Bingfeng Fortress, and I treat the people around me well. So what is the most important thing right now? The most important thing is that I need to know the answer, or not, must be determined, and the goddess' thunder cannot become the fear in my heart, or even the inner demon.
So he closed his eyes, overcome his hesitation, and asked the goddess directly: I have a devilish element, but can I pray to the goddess and ask for divine art?
The lightning did not strike, but instead, a light blue ball of light rose from the back of Feich's neck, floating on top of his head, and began to emit soft light. Seeing this at midnight, he jumped over Feich's head and raised his hand to fiddle with the ball of light.
The pink flesh mat touched the light blue shell of the light ball, and did not pass through it, but pushed the light ball aside. Soon, the light ball quickly flew back to its original position, and was floating above Feich's head. I found the interesting part of this toy at midnight, so I widened my eyes excitedly and began to fiddle with my claws.
"This is the light ball of divine art! It is the color of the holy light!" Old man Kipling smiled and his eyes were squeezed by wrinkles and almost disappeared. "I knew you could succeed. This is great! Cough! Cough cough..."
The old man suddenly choked, and Feiqi hurried over to take care of him. Fortunately, the old man Kipling just smiled too hard and took a while to calm down. He still smiled and pinched Feiqi's face with his hands: "Child, I know you are very smart, and smart people will have concerns. You are the second son in the family, with an older brother and younger brother and sister below. Whether it is a bit scattered or suffered some injuries, maybe that is also a sign of intelligence. But in the Bingfeng Fortress, we don't need that. I think this place can become your home, and you don't want to replace the previous one. I just hope that you can unload your burden and do what you want to do so that you can better."
Old man Kipling pointed to the head of his bed, where there was a book with a hard metal shell, with a big palm and a thick fist. There was a long chain hanging on the spine. "Hold it, study hard, and master all the magic techniques above as soon as possible. I don't think you have any problems. After becoming the priest of the Goddess of Thunder, you will be protected in the church, and you will be free even without indulgences. At that time, no one will interfere with whether you are studying spells, alchemy, or discovering the disappearing history of the Creator's former Lord."
Feiqi nodded, took the book and tied the chain to his belt. He chanted "SUA" lightly, and the metal-shelled book floated up, about the height of his waist, within reach. The old man smiled when he saw this: "Well, this looks very handsome, and it turns out that young people have ideas. How do you feel now?"
"How do I feel?" Feiqi thought for a while, and then said sincerely: "I feel like I have escaped some kind of shackles, and I feel that the world is big, and I have wings."
“Yes, it’s the feeling of gaining faith.”
Feiqi nodded in a suitable manner, but he felt that this was not a belief in his heart. At best, it was a sense of... identity. His relationship with the goddess was not as direct as an ordinary priest. Instead, he used "world laws and order" as a buffer, but only achieved consistency on this level. However, such consistency can also be used to perform divine magic. The "gracefulness" of the Goddess of Truth Thunder did exceed Feiqi's expectations. He was still very grateful to the goddess on this point.
The benefits of being able to use magic skills are obvious. Even if it is just the simplest magic skills, it can bring great changes to Feiqi's safety and status. How could he not understand? Moreover, with magic skills, he can use the runes unique to magic skills, which will greatly help him continue to study magic work.
At the same time, his mind was also very clear: being able to use divine art now does not mean that the future will be brighter. Divine art with stronger power and more complex content still requires the priest to have a pious heart, and some spells even need to communicate directly with the goddess. This means that Fitch can no longer use "reverence and order" as a buffering transition, and he must completely let go of his mind.
Finally, he still has to focus on magic. Magic is the main focus, and his strength should be as high as the divine arts as possible. Divine arts as an auxiliary research existence can also cover up his identity when necessary. No one would have thought that the devil would use the goddess' magic arts?
Therefore, after learning a simple magic, he still pestered Old Man Kiplin and asked him to teach himself the runes of the Creator's former Lord.
