"Frankly speaking, although I am a Druid and have done some research on the history of Druid belief changes, I am not entirely sure what the 'lock' you described is about. "Things," Pittman said to Wright after thinking for a moment, "Druids don't seem to have encountered any 'lock' in the process of converting natural magic into Druid spells... But as far as I know There is a detail in the history that may be a reference for you."
"Oh?" Gao Wen looked interested, "What detail?"
"I don't know. Have you heard that after the fall of the White Star three thousand years ago, although most of the natural magic of druids was converted into druid magic, there are still some druids who have never successfully completed this transformation," Peter Man recounted this history that many people didn’t know about, with a look of emotion on his face, “Even if they accept the fact that the god of nature has fallen, accept that the magic of nature has expired, and accept that the power of nature has returned to mortals, Despite the current situation, they have never been able to break through certain limitations. Most of them have been unable to cast spells for their entire lives, and a more miserable few have suffered backlash in the process of forcibly trying to cast spells... These 'losers' are unable to cast spells. The reason has always been a mystery.
“Many scholars have studied the old Druid priests who cannot be transformed, and found that the latter have no problems from physical condition to mental state to magic perception ability, but they have no problem. I just can't cast spells..."
Gawain couldn't help but express his guess: "Is that 'lock' subconsciously affecting them? "
"Perhaps as Wright described, there really is an 'invisible lock' in the subconscious of mortals. This lock limits every mortal's ability to access divine magic. It is related to existence, but even if the god falls, this lock will still play a certain role, but when the god falls, the power of this lock will be greatly weakened, so that most people can break free from it," Pittman said lightly He nodded lightly, and then glanced at Wright thoughtfully, "And Wright... you are probably the first person in human history to rely on your own will to break free of this 'lock' while the gods are still alive. ”
Gawain fell into thinking.
A lock, a lock that may exist at the subconscious level of human beings. It affects every mortal in the world, allowing them to It is impossible to escape the influence of the gods without being aware of it, so that one can only rely on obedience to the scriptures and worship of the gods to gain access to divine magic... Is this lock naturally produced after everyone is born, or is it due to some acquired influence? Established?
Considering that there has never been a mortal who was born unaffected by this shackle, Gawain believes that this subconscious shackles is most likely innate.
< p>This is a world where various extraordinary powers exist, and the closer to the realm of magical truth, the more blurred the boundary between human "consciousness" and the real world. Gawain will not despise a "subconscious" that exists at the subconscious level. Lock"--Even if it is so intangible that almost no one notices its existence, because he knows very well that once you penetrate into the deepest part of the mystery of magic, this seemingly intangible and insubstantial thing will be more powerful than tangible and qualitative things. Difficult to deal with.Of course, he is more concerned about another thing now than in the future: can the changes in Wright be replicated?
A pioneer who broke through the shackles of gods and used his own will and belief to control the Holy Light - Wright's power of Holy Light is not only a personal ability, but also a new power in Gawain's view. The breaking point of the era. During these days, he has been thinking about what to do with the traditional Holy Light Sect (and other sects that may be on the road to degeneration) that are decadent, dark and have congenital defects. He cannot directly ban these sects, but he cannot let them become The shackles of the territory, and the emergence of Wright seems to provide a solution...
But to solve the church's problems, only a pioneer like Wright will not be enough. If the new way of Holy Light cannot be promoted and copied , then there will be no competitive advantage in front of the traditional church.
He expressed his doubts, and Amber beside him was the first to frown: "This should be quite difficult... The old man just said that Wright may be the first in human history. A person who breaks through the 'limitation' by his own will shows that it must be very difficult to break through this limitation. Where can you find so many talented, capable and ambitious people..."
" Maybe it's not as difficult as imagined," Pittman interrupted Amber, "First of all, since Wright succeeded, it means that the power of this lock is not absolute, and ordinary people can also copy this process - even if it is impossible Very low; secondly, the hardest thing to break is the first time. If you see Wright using his own power to exert the power of the Holy Light, then I believe that many Holy Light believers will be shaken, and it will be much more difficult for them to break through this subconscious lock. Reduced. And I believe in one thing: the existence of everything should follow rules. Since Wright can succeed, it means that there is its own logic and rules behind this matter. As long as we continue to study, we can always find out Order something."
Gaowen deeply believed in Pitman's words, and what made him even more gratified was that Pitman had already established such a profound and correct researcher's thinking - his sloppy Hidden beneath the unreliable appearance is a kind of scientific thought that is rare in this era. Gawain doesn't know whether Pitman's ideas originally existed or were slowly cultivated in the process of leading research work in the territory. , but one thing he is sure of is that as long as education and scientific research in the territory can continue to develop, and researchers like Pitman can continue to lead apprentices forward, there will definitely be more and more people with similar researchers' ideas.
Wright is not a researcher, but this does not affect his understanding of Pitman's words and Gawain's thoughts. He knows that his process of regaining the Holy Light is of great significance to other believers who still believe in the God of Holy Light. What does it mean to know more about what the corrupt and dark Holy Light Sect is in urgent need of?market reform, so he is happy to do something for this: "I have been perceiving the flow of the Holy Light through meditation these days, and I have asked Master Kamel for a lot of magic knowledge. I feel that the Holy Light There are indeed rules to follow in its operation, but it is also different from ordinary spells. That is, it seems to be very affected by the caster's... beliefs. I can't explain the subtle connection here, but I can feel it. Whenever the holy light surges, it interacts and resonates with the moral principles of the holy light that I firmly believe in."
"This is normal, and the same is true for Druid magic. The effect of casting a spell is greatly affected by the caster's own beliefs, and the 'Nature Spirit' sect is the most particular about this. They believe that only when the mind and the principles of nature are sufficiently consistent can the Druid spells cast be effective enough," Pittman He nodded and looked thoughtful, "So it seems that the power transformed from divine magic into magic will have this characteristic? Is it deeply affected by 'psychic bias'?"
This was the first time that Gawain knew such details. He was a little surprised: "So, what's going on with those fallen druids from the Society of Death? Is it possible that their dark spells also contain their feelings about the death of all things?" Isn’t it true that all things in nature have feelings?”
Just when Pitman opened his mouth to speak, Amber interrupted: “Hey, please be more open-minded. Love deeply and hate deeply are not the same. Is it deep - maybe there are no fallen druids, they just have a twisted love for this world..."
No one paid any attention to Amber's nonsense, and Pitman just shook his head. : "The fallen druid also has his own understanding of the principles of nature. As a basic law of life and death, it has no human moral factors. This is different from the Holy Light, which has a strong moral tendency. "
To be honest, Gawain is not very adaptable to the hypothesis that "human mind factors can interfere with the macroscopic world." This hypothesis is even more incredible than the quantum mechanics he knows, but since The existence of this world is really based on the power of the soul, so all the hypotheses related to it are objective research goals. Based on the scientific concept of understanding the world and transforming the world, he must also face these hypotheses.
"Perhaps we can start a special project to analyze the mystery of the Holy Light in Wright. It is not enough for him to study this matter by himself," while thinking, Gawain slowly said, "In addition ...Wright, I hope you will think about the new doctrine while studying the Holy Light."
As soon as the words "new doctrine" were said, Pittman and Amber's expressions suddenly changed. However, Wright looked calm as if he had expected it. He just nodded to Gawain solemnly: "I understand - the church is not open these days, and I am also thinking about this matter. I want to Think carefully about how to explain the true meaning of the Holy Light to believers..."
As he spoke, this powerful priest could not help but show a slightly uneasy look on his face. : "To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I'm just a low-level missionary pastor, and I don't know if I can do such a big thing. "
"You are not just a missionary priest. You have changed history. You should have some confidence in yourself," Gawain said with a smile, "And I will help you, although I am not a Holy Light. Believers, at least I know how to guide the people - since we want to return the Holy Light to the world and return the right path to people's hearts, the guidance of the people will be essential. "
When Wright heard this, he immediately lowered his head sincerely: "I am very grateful - I am really not good at this..."
"Since we want to promote new doctrines, That has to be somewhat different from the original Holy Light Church," Gawain continued. "I haven't decided on the name of the new church yet, but your identity as pastor should be changed - missionary pastor, this is Holy Light. There is no need to keep the identity given to you by the church. "
Wright didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with the framework of the "new religion" being determined by non-believer lords. He just followed Gawain's words and thought: "I think so too... But I Time can't think of a more appropriate title. ”
Gawain looked at Wright up and down, and the scene when he saw him in the church a few days ago came to mind.
Wearing tattered armor, standing In front of the pulpit, the "Knight" bathed in light
"White Knight," Gawain said the first word that came to his mind, "You should be a white knight, a righteous one." Guardian, you are the one who wants to overcome thorns and thorns, and you want to blaze a trail in the faith of the Holy Light that has sunk into darkness. Therefore, may you be blessed with the Holy Light, like armor, and move forward indomitably. "
"White Knight..."
Wright repeated this brand-new word in a low voice, and the fog in his heart gradually opened.
The holy light was added to him, like a blanket. Armor, keep moving forward.
Yes, only a tough knight can embark on this road. This cloth is really not suitable for him.
Wright exhaled softly. , his heart suddenly became enlightened, and the holy light that had always been faintly floating around him became brighter and more condensed, as if even the holy light was rejoicing at the birth of the "White Knight"
< p>In the gradually condensing holy light, Gawain once again saw something vague flashing before his eyes.He really didn't want to break the atmosphere of this historical moment in front of him, but next to him. The Amber didn't care about this, the half-elf lady directly stretched out her hand: "I just wanted to ask, why is there always a double image in your holy light..."
A small figure came from Wright The holy light emerged from behind, and he dodged Amber's claws, staring at the latter with big eyes.
