Throne of Magical Arcana

After hearing Harold's report, Great Elder Augustus still continued his prayers. Unless it was something particularly important, he would never interrupt the prayer for "God of Steam", "Master of Life and Death", A tribute to "Dazzling Morning Star".

After a few minutes, Augustus stood up nimbly, covered his eyes with his right hand and said, "Steam is supreme!"

This is a symbolic prayer action specially designed by him after witnessing the explosion of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" in the city of Rentat, combined with the scene of "Atlantis", the kingdom of gods he saw in his dream, just like the God of Truth The "up, down, left, and right crosses" are the same!

"Dwarf Kingdom?" Augustus asked a little puzzled after finishing his prayers.

He has a rosy complexion, a healthy body, and is wearing a specially made silver-white armor. The various components are connected together by complex mechanical techniques, full of complex, exquisite and mechanically cold beauty—this is also the uniform of the "God of Steam" archbishop specially designed by him. .

As the leader of the dwarves, Augustus is the honorary director of many alchemy workshops. There is nothing too hard to do, which is in stark contrast to the miserable situation on the Black Night Plateau. This makes him very grateful and spends most of his time All are put on promoting and praising the god of steam.

Since the life in Rentat City was not closed, Augustus also roughly understood the situation of the entire continent, knowing that the surviving dwarves are now gathered in the northwest area of ​​the Dark Mountains, and re-established a city called "Dumut". Kingdom——In the language of the dwarves, "Dumut" means "glory", but they believe in the "God of Bravery" Oken and "God of Craftsman" Haydt, not the "God of Steam", "The master of life and death", "a great existence that cannot be called by name".

Therefore, when he heard that the emissary of the "God of Steam" had come to the dwarf kingdom, Augustus inevitably had doubts in his heart.

Harold scratched his head: "I also think it's weird, the Lord never sent an oracle to let us go to the kingdom of Dumut, and they don't believe in the great Lord..."

It was strange, but this matter was related to the Lord, and he had to be cautious, not daring to handle it by himself.

Augustus adjusted his armor, picked up the steam hammer and said, "Bring him to me."

Harold turned around and walked in with a dwarf in leather armor not long after.

The dwarf's characteristic blond beard grew on his face, making it impossible to judge his age from his appearance.

His demeanor and words were rather polite: "Dear Great Elder of the Night Tribe, I am Hamm of the Kingdom of Dumut, a temple warrior who serves the great God of Steam, and I received an oracle from the Lord some time ago. , come to Rentat City to contact you, so that you can truly enter the embrace of the Lord."

"The god of steam?" Augustus half-truthfully expressed his doubts.

Hamm nodded solemnly: "Yes, just a while ago, the great Lord Heit announced his true identity. It turns out that he is not only the god of craftsmen, but also the god of steam who has favored our dwarves for generations. It's just that for the purpose of deep sleep and testing, the avatar is allowed to walk on the earth..."

He talked eloquently, talking about what happened in the dwarf kingdom: "...The twilight of the gods is coming, so the Lord woke up from his deep sleep and came again, so you are freed from the night plateau..."

"The God of Craftsman..." Augustus muttered the name silently.

Seeing that he and Harold showed no obvious resistance, Hamm said solemnly: "The Lord hopes that you can spread His glory in the Kingdom of Holm, so that the world will praise His name."

As he spoke, he took out a statue of a dwarf from the storage bag—it was holding a hammer, its beard and hair were all stretched out, and there was a faint fire around it, giving people a sense of sacredness and vastness.

"You must be very surprised why the priests and bishops of the God of Truth can cast divine spells, but you cannot. This is because you have passed the test of the Lord now! You enshrine the statue of the Lord on the altar, and follow this day and night Ritual worship, pious people will soon be bestowed with divine magic, just like me!" Hamm took out the ritual book and said loudly, at the same time, he took a step forward, and the milky white light on his body lit up, divine and abnormal, making people feel Can't help but worship.

He is a "Paladin", a "Pseudo-God Priest" who tends to fight in hand-to-hand combat, so he can cast the spell "Divine Grace".

"Divinity..." The eyes of Harold and Augustus lighted up inexplicably. The God of Steam hadn't bestowed them with magic, which was the biggest trouble and worry in their hearts.

Seeing their appearance, Hamm laughed heroically, and handed the statue and the ritual book to Augustus: "From now on, we will be prayers regardless of each other!"

After sending Ham away, Harold came back, looked at Augustus who was in a daze and said, "Elder Elder, do you believe what he said?"

"I don't believe it." Augustus' eyes were slightly gloomy, "We are the dwarves who left the night plateau under the favor of the great steam god. We are his family members. Even if there is an oracle, it is impossible for a foreign dwarf to tell us. The Lord will definitely give us the decree directly!"

This incident made him feel that his position as the Great Elder was threatened. He, who had always been the spokesperson of the God of Steam on the ground, had not received the oracle, and had to wait for an ordinary paladin dwarf to notify him!

Therefore, after thinking for a while, he firmly rejected the possibility that the God of Craftsman was the incarnation of the God of Steam, unless the Lord directly represented himself!

Anyway, before this, I will not waver in any way, and fully express my piety - if one is identified as the great god of steam just by words and magical gifts, then all false gods will be dazzling morning stars!

Harold also had similar thoughts, but he was not so firm: "The magic..."

If the God of Steam never grants himself and other dwarven magic, the rest of the tribe will definitely be drawn in, and he himself is full of yearning for the magic.

"Divine art? Can ordinary divine art be compared with the eternal blazing sun, can it be compared with Atlantis? Can it be compared with the burst guns we usually make?" Although Augustus was also fascinated by divine art, he did not Showing a little bit of timidity, "The oracle before the Lord told us to build Atlantis on the ground, and the development of Rentat just fits the scene we saw, and it is moving in that direction. As for Doom Te, I believe you also know from the information that everything there is very backward and contrary to Atlantis!"

"When we can make eternal blazing sun weapons, what is magic?"

Harold nodded emphatically: "The life in Rentat is the life I have always dreamed of. It feels like every bit of hard work brings me closer to Atlantis!"

It would be even better to have magical skills!

"Great Elder, what about us?" He looked at the place where Ham left just now.

Augustus shook his head: "It's okay for us to wait for the oracle to deny Hamm, but we can't deal with him rashly. What if this is the Lord's test? Let's find a way to prevent him from contacting other dwarves..."

"But what can I do..." Harold said distressedly.

Allinge.

After pushing open the secret door leading to the core of Sky City, Lucien and his teacher Fernando strolled inside, preparing to observe the operation of the fission reactor and discover possible hidden dangers.

"...It is unreasonable to introduce consciousness into the microcosmic realm. The observer effect is more likely to be the reaction caused by measuring actions, which is not as subjective as you describe." In the quiet passage, Fernando once again mentioned Lucien's weirdness about microcosmic particles. Interpretation, "Hypotheses that are not based on mathematics are empty talk."

He firmly believed in this view, but due to the limitations of the current mathematical foundation, he couldn't find a good explanation to refute Lucien for the time being, otherwise he would have roared a long time ago.

Lucien smiled and said: "However, no matter what the interpretation is, there must be a place for magic. I think the mysteries of magic must exist in the microscopic realm."

On this point, Fernando agrees quite a bit. If there is no place for magic in the extremely weird microcosmic domain, then other domains will be even more impossible: "It is a good direction to explain the spiritual power and the power of faith into special electromagnetic waves. But the question is, why can a special electromagnetic wave condense to condense divinity? Can it cast magic?"

In this conversation, the atmosphere between the two was relatively less tense.

After opening a door with complex magic patterns again, Lucien saw the fission reactor inside. The difference from the earth is that due to the existence of magic, the reactor has many fewer parts, and even directly converts nuclear energy into electrical energy. Energy, it doesn't look so huge, but mysterious and delicate but relatively simple and refreshing.

One after another, milky white or electric flashing energy flowed into various parts of Sky City along different channels, as a backup energy to maintain its operation, and in this tens of meters wide room, the flickering light caused by them made everything All dyed with the color of vastness and mystery.

In the center of the room are magic circles intertwined with silver, white and black, which are connected into complex fission reactors.

"It looks normal." Lucien looked around while approaching the center.

Suddenly, a row of red lights on the wall all lit up, and a terrifying aura emanated from the center of the fission reactor.

"Danger! The magic circle is out of control! Turn on the first-level protection!"

Prospell's voice suddenly sounded.

Complicated magic patterns lit up one by one, and the Allinger Mystic completely sealed off the place where the entire reactor was located, opening the strongest defense layer!

Since teleportation is prohibited here, Lucien could only seize the time to cast the "Scepter of Time and Space".

The sparkling light was shining, and the layers of time and space around Lucien made him and Fernando seem to be in another world.

Rumble!

A violent explosion occurred in the center of the reactor, the light was dazzling, and the ultra-high temperature fused everything it could melt. Then, the terrifying energy storm blew on the space-time barrier, gradually disappearing into different worlds layer by layer.

After the explosion, Lucien opened his eyes and found that the space-time barrier was only broken a few layers, and it didn't have much impact.

"What's wrong..." Fernando looked puzzled at the disappearing magic circle in the center, looked at the obvious melting marks there, and began to think about the design of the reactor.

Lucien was a little nervous just now, but after experiencing a reactor explosion, he suddenly realized that this is not the earth, and the reactor explosion may not cause any damage.

Fernando blessed himself with magic, walked out of the space-time barrier, exposed to the diffuse radiation, and carefully checked the remaining traces.

"There are many curses here, and they must be cleaned up," he said casually.

"Well, use the Eternal Blazing Sun to clean it up." Lucien also replied casually, and then saw the teacher's staring eyes.

…………

Hamm stayed in a small hotel room, walking around quite proudly and happily. The "God of Steam" hadn't even bestowed magical powers on the believers, and his mission seemed to be easily accomplished! Even if the Great Elder has other thoughts, he can take him away!

Boom, boom, knock on the door.

"Who?" Hamm asked vigilantly, and at the same time performed the few magic checks he had mastered.

"Guest, please open the door. The grilled fish with honey is here." A male voice came from outside.

The inspection said that it was a driver conflict, and the numbness was due to the lack of a ground wire in the socket, and then it was restored with one key. Then I came back and installed the Sogou input method to start writing. Halfway through writing, it blue screened again. . Is this a conflict with window7, or a problem with my original 03 document. . Then, I can enter the safe mode, and I continue to open the document to write, and then hang up again, completely returning to the state of last night, and finally I continue to use the tablet. .
