Throne of Magical Arcana

If it were someone else, they might only be able to guess the approximate range of "suspects", but Benedict III clearly knew that Lucien only mastered the mysteries of negative emotions and ancient devils, and had no way to steal and use the power of faith. Moreover, the Steam God Cult is still secretly developing and intends to intercept the power of faith of the "God of Craftsman" Hayter, so it is very likely that Lucien Evans and the Northern Church exchanged their respective methods to achieve mutual compensation. Purpose.

Of course, the mind of Pope "Viken" would not make a definite judgment on this, after all, the possibility of someone deliberately doing this to confuse the situation cannot be ruled out.

"If it's really you, your 'acting skills' really surpass all the actors in the theater..." Benedict III restrained his expression, but his tone was still gnashing his teeth.

When I seduced Lucien before, he just and sternly rejected him, saying that this was just an experiment, and all he needed was to discover the essential mysteries contained in it, rather than really wanting to take this path. The god-like method he created was dismissive, but because of his consistently good and firm arcane attitude in the past ten years, he actually believed it, actually believed it...

"It needs to be determined first whether Belkovsky and his group have the secret of combining the power of emotion and the power of faith to attack the god-like... If so, we have to speed up the progress, before they try to break through the god-like ..." All the negative emotions of Benedict III quickly disappeared, and they were attributed to the monster Viken through the "channel" of inexplicable connection. He no longer entangled in the possible "deception" of Lucien, but thought about the most important thing to do now.

Although Thanos and the god-like method created by himself helped him and him become god-like, but there were many coincidences and luck in this process, and there were changes that I didn't understand at all, so the success rate was higher than the actual performance. Even if Belkovsky and others have the divine brilliance and faith power accumulated from generation to generation, the possibility of being promoted to a god-like success is terribly low, and failure means that they will either suffer heavy losses. Don't try again, or die directly.

However, no matter how low the probability is, it cannot be ruled out, so I must confirm it first, and then change my plan reasonably.

Benedict III caressed the platinum scepter beside him, and looked out of the window: "... In addition, I have to get the list of materials exchanged by Lucien Evans in the past two years, and maybe I can find something from it..." Report death "Bird", it's time for you to play a role. It's not that I'm going to coerce you and order you to violate the premise of cooperation, but this is also related to your future. You know what is best for you..."

…………

A week later, there was a list of materials exchanged by Lucien Evans for the past three years on Benedict III's desk.

As a magician, one needs to conduct endless experiments and refine suitable items or devices, so this list is full of hundreds of pages, which can make people dizzy at first glance, and there is no way to find anything useful from it.

"If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to discover your real purpose..." Benedict III's face sank like water, he kept flipping through it, and kept drawing circles on certain materials.

He made Lucien's list based on the materials he needed for his god-like method, ticking off one by one. If there are few matching cases, it means it is just a coincidence. Magic materials", the answer is self-evident - as a legendary magician, Lucien obviously has his own treasure house and his own source of materials, not all of which 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. It was not until the list of hundreds of pages of materials was outlined that he stared solemnly at the final blank: "This contains eighty The materials required for the seven god-like methods accounted 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 for the combination of the power of emotion and the power of faith to impact the god-like ceremony! Lucien Evans has changed from other legends to this last step. Method? Or did he research it by himself?"

If it were any other legendary magician, even Douglas, Benedict III would not speculate like this, but Lucien himself has been studying the power of faith and the power of emotions for many years. "Mysterious", and good at creating miracles, he has put forward theories that people can't even imagine, so if it is him, maybe it is really 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 god-like, otherwise before I am sure, maybe he will break through to true god..." Benedict III narrowed his eyes.

Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly: "There was news from the Dark Mountains before that Lucien Evans has completed his state transformation. Coupled with the preparation of materials, he may try to impact in the next year or two..."

"...We must let 'Reporting Death Bird' and other legends who are willing to cooperate pay close attention to his movements, and pay attention to his steam god religion..."

…………

In the icy month (December), dripping water turns into ice, and the whole Rentat is covered with a layer of white coat.

Augustus led the core priests of the Steam God Cult such as Harold and Milna to pay homage to the silver-white "Nuclear Bomb Artifact", the incarnation of the power of the "God of Steam", expressing the past year to the Supreme Lord. Thanksgiving and prayers for blessings in the new year.

Covering their eyes with their right hands, they prostrated themselves to the ground, praising the God of Steam in their hearts, singing the God of Steam, and reporting what they had gained in spreading the glory of the Lord in the previous year.

At this moment, the silvery-white "nuclear bomb" glowed softly, and an empty light shone on them.

They trembled slightly, and felt a divine and transcendent power that eliminated the anxiety hidden in their hearts. Immediately, they felt more peaceful and peaceful, and prayed in unison:

"You dominate everything, you control the boundary between life and death, you are the king of kings, and you are the god above all gods."

A silver-white ray shot out from the "nuclear bomb" and fell on the head of Archbishop Augustus, and then everything returned to its original state.

Augustus got up slowly, solemnly and implicitly excited: "The Lord sent an oracle and asked us to hold a big worship service on the weekend of the last week of every month, and changed some of the prayers so that His glory can shine For the other dwarves besides us, save them from the bewitching and intimidation of false gods!"

"May your ways be on earth as in your kingdom." The other dwarves answered in unison.

After staying in Rentat for a long time, they were inevitably influenced by the God of Truth, and incorporated some prayers in their own "Mechanical Apocalypse".

When the service was over and Augustus led the core priests to preach to other dwarves, a mass of darkness suddenly stood out over the silver-white "nuclear bomb", and a bird with a strong meaning of death landed, carefully inspecting the "silver-white nuclear bomb" "The remaining breath.

"One big prostration every month, change the prayer, hum, can't you wait..." The little bird made a difficult and weird voice.

After the sound of "Du" and "Du", the little bird quietly disappeared, but at this moment, an extremely strange aura emerged out of nowhere, hovering in the chapel for a few seconds.

…………

"Recent changes in the religion of steam..." Pope Benedict III already had several pieces of information about this.

He was expressionless, tapped the table lightly, and said to himself: "It seems that his progress is faster than I expected, and he is already making the best preparations. If it weren't for the mistakes in the Northern Church, it would really be true." He hid it from the past, and when he finds out later, maybe he is already a god-like."

Benedict III leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and asked himself in his heart: "Where will you hide to complete the 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 did not know where to take out an exquisite statuette, engraved on it is a bald dwarf, the top of the head is 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 light that was difficult for others to see emerged, as if there were little angels surrounding it.

On the bald dwarf statue, a layer of ever-changing, hard-to-touch divine brilliance slowly appeared, and countless illusory lines extended from the void.

"The place where the power of faith gathers..." Viken suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out:

"The projection of the dark mountains in the Necromancer Realm!"
