Throne of Magical Arcana

When, when, when, three consecutive melodious bells sounded, all the dwarves outside the "God of Craftsman" temple stopped, clenched their fists with their right hands, made a beating gesture, and prayed in unison:

"Great god of steam, you are the lord of machinery, you control the art of forging, you give us strength and courage..."

Katrina, who was about to turn around and leave, was slightly stunned. When did the God of Craftsman become the God of Steam? It seems that the parliament did not pay enough attention to the dwarven kingdom of Dumut.

"However, this 'God of Steam' does not seem to be the same as the 'God of Steam' believed by those alchemy dwarves in Rentat. There are some significant differences in prayer gestures and prayer words." Katrina, Heidi and other friends in London When Tate was wandering and "fielding" the alchemy workshop, he met the dwarves from the night plateau, and was deeply impressed by their strange prayer postures covering their eyes.

She looked around and saw that humans, werewolves, elves and other non-dwarf races walking on the street also stopped. Although they didn't pray, they didn't seem to want to affect the midday prayer ceremony of the dwarves, so they also stopped and thought to themselves Said: "Looking at their familiar and natural actions, it should have been a while since the God of Craftsman became the God of Steam."

The gradual and orderly sound of prayer created a strange resonance, which made even the souls without prayer feel the grandeur and holiness, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of wine, making people want to be drunk.

This is the biggest feature of the Dumut dwarf kingdom. The dwarves don't just like ale. All kinds of fine wine are within their defense range. A large part of the merchants who come and go here sell fine wine in exchange for ore, dwarf alchemy items etc.

Dwarves whose bloodlines have been transformed by magicians have basic spiritual power. With their skilled skills and talents, it is not difficult to create apprentice-level alchemy items. Low-level and middle-level items require dwarves who have stimulated the power of bloodlines to create ——The purpose of ancient high-level magicians transforming them is to undertake the work of low-level and apprentice-level alchemy items, so as not to waste their time.

As for high-level alchemy items, dwarves that can forge them are very rare, and the success rate is far lower than that of magicians. For truly legendary items (not semi-finished products), only the "God of Craftsman" Hait can cooperate with them using magical means. One's own talent can do it, but "God of Bravery" Okun can't do it either.

Different places have different aromas of wine, and mixing them together seems to be able to make people who drink lightly drunk directly or feel uncomfortable, but Katrina was born in the Shahran Empire, and her alcohol capacity is extraordinary, not only Instead of disgust, he took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

After noon prayers ended, Katrina followed the crowd and returned to the hotel where she lived, closed the windows, began to meditate, and recharged her energy for the night's action—although the dwarves themselves were limited in height, the blood of "steam civilization" flowed in their veins They like exquisite but grand buildings from the bottom of their hearts, so as long as no giants come to Dumut, they will not feel too restrained. The average indoor height of the stone houses here is four meters.

Soon it was midnight, and groups of dwarven soldiers on the street were patrolling faithfully and vigilantly. Because of events such as the god of craftsmen suddenly becoming the god of steam and the "god of bravery" surrendering to him, the kingdom of Dumut was actually in a state of turmoil. In an unstable state, there will be emergencies from time to time, and there will be "cultists" who oppose the great steam god and cause various troubles. Therefore, Hamina City seems to be prosperous, but it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. state.

Katrina first arranged a magic circle to eliminate magic fluctuations, and then blessed herself with advanced invisibility and other spells-although the Dumut Kingdom has no prejudice against magicians, it is quite awe-inspiring when encountering spellcasters, but I have to do it myself Things related to their supreme spiritual leader "God of Craftsman", a little caution is a must.

Falling to the ground like a feather, Katrina sneaked towards the "God of Steam" temple, while looking up at the astrology and the surrounding environment, and calculated the position where the statue should be placed according to the change of coordinates given by the teacher.

"Why does this formula need the specific coordinates of several great temples and the types and coordinates of the surrounding buildings..." Katrina silently read the many parameters needed, her expression was quite puzzled, and she really couldn't understand the law of this coordinate change. What is it to calculate, why do you need so many weird parameters?

But this was the teacher's order, and she didn't think much about it. After spending a lot of time going around, she finally calculated the specific coordinates. Then, she quietly walked towards a white stone sculpture in the southeast direction of the "God of Steam" temple. .

"Is this the statue of Height?" Katrina observed carefully.

This dwarf statue is wearing armor carved with sacred patterns, holding a giant hammer in his hand, his beard is dragged to his chest, covering his face, and there are two dazzling sun stones in his eye sockets.

"In comparison, the statue given by the teacher is really ugly..." Katrina took out the small statue that Lucien gave her, and shook her head with a smile, "The teacher's aesthetics always fluctuates up and down."

No one can deny Lucien's aesthetics in music, magic tower construction, and moon timepieces. The many ideas of the proposed "Sound of Mystery" are also eye-catching, but many times, the ideas he puts forward and the things he creates are different. The taste is so unique that it is unacceptable. For example, this dwarf statue assembled from many metal parts originally shone with a cold and cold taste and looked very good, but he has a big bald head with dark blue engravings on it. The weird patterns give people the weird illusion that their hearts will shake when they see it.

Restraining her smile, Katrina concentrated her attention, and according to Lucien's instructions, let the bald dwarf statue float above the heart of the "God of Craftsman" Heite, and then whispered a long and complicated incantation.

Although this incantation was written in the ancient magic empire language, it has a strange sense of sacredness and etherealness. Gradually, silver-white rays of light protrude from the bald dwarf statue, and they extend to the surroundings, like a control card. The big net of people's hearts.

"You are the master of the heart, the emperor of the gods, you are the great god of steam... Please allow me to call your name, the supreme Yuri, please give me the power to control everything..."

In the sound of the incantation, the silvery-white lines of light partially extended into the heart of the statue of Hayt, while others blended with the surrounding void, causing waves of shocks.

During the shock, a little bit of clear and holy light appeared, like tiny angels, they uttered ethereal and beautiful songs, praises and prayers, "dancing" around Yuri's statue up and down.

This kind of movement seemed to be frozen in the surroundings, and the temple in the distance did not respond.

The vibration in the void suddenly became violent, and those tiny spots of light merged into Yuri's statue one after another, and Yuri's statue slowly blurred, disappearing in place, and there was no trace left!

"Merged with the nearby time and space?" Katrina looked at this scene with deep shock in her eyes. What happened just now was a scene she had never seen before. "This is the subtlety of legendary power? But why still There is a bit of illusory magic breath..."

She shook her head, restrained her emotions, carefully wiped away the traces nearby, and returned to the hotel.

When Katrina's figure disappeared at the end of the street, a black bird flew down from the dark sky, with a bunch of funny but pale and cold feathers on its head.

The little bird hovered and landed on the head of the "God of Craftsman" Heite, and made a difficult voice that only existed around him: "Lucien Evans is indeed collecting beliefs in secret, and he seems to be very confident in his theory." It's enough...to dare to directly steal Heite's power of faith..."

"...A student was actually sent to complete this matter, and almost deceived everyone. If it wasn't for me..."

"No, I have to find a way to remind Heite that Lucien Evans cannot collect the power of faith smoothly, otherwise he may be the fastest to step into the god-like level..."

It flew down from the head of the statue and flew around the vicinity, making strange and frightening calls of "Du", "Du", as if announcing the time of his death to a living being.

…………

Katrina's third day out of Hamina.

A group of dwarf soldiers discovered the "cultists" who slandered and attacked the "God of Steam" Haydt while patrolling, and started a fierce battle with them.

There were high-ranking spellcasters in this group of cultists. All of a sudden, the dwarf soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, there was Heite's temple nearby, and several high priests rushed to surround the group of cultists in a nearby On a square.

The power of divine magic burst out everywhere, and all kinds of strange scenes appeared on the square, and the cultists fell one by one, and the square was on the verge of destruction.

Boom! The high priest and the cultist high-ranking spellcaster fought against each other with a "Yangyan Explosion", and the resulting aftermath swept across the square, shaking and shattering the statue of Height, causing a little bit of holy light and silver-white lines to flash on it. passed away.

It was just this flash, and the "God of Craftsman" Hayt in the depths of the temple opened his eyes, and two groups of golden flames burned like his angry heart.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the statue of bald Yuri appeared in his palm.

"Who dares to steal my power of faith!" Hite's voice contained anger, and he gritted his teeth: "The god of steam? Lucien Evans!"

An angry gust of wind swept across the entire temple, and a golden flame descended from the sky, directly burning that high-ranking spellcaster to ashes.

After carefully checking the memory of the survivors, Heit was silent for a moment, and said in a hateful voice: "If you can steal my power of faith, so can I!"

His gaze was cast on the Yuri statue in his palm, and then a golden flame wrapped it carefully, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything.

…………

In the atomic universe, a faint golden light flashed over the statue of Yuri, the "God of Steam", and quickly merged and disappeared. If you hadn't been paying close attention, you wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Lucien in the Magic Tower froze for a moment, then turned his head to look outside, with the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile.
