Lord of Arcane

Chapter 692 Faith Carrier Accelerates Sanctification

Severnton.

A bright light suddenly appeared in a meeting room in the Gilles Tower, followed by several projections that were no different from normal people, and then a real person arrived.

After a while, except for Randall who was far away in Comanso, all the contemporary tower owners of the other six towers arrived.

Today is not the time for the regular meeting of the Seven Towers, but an unexpected event that may affect the future fate of Netheril is enough to bring everyone together.

"Your Highness, what happened? All of us must be summoned!" Badigal from the Gustav Tower was the first to ask.

Shia glanced at the other four people who were also full of doubts. She didn't speak, but just stretched out her hand, and a beam of light flew out from between her fingers, instantly connecting everyone, and bringing everyone's perception to a secret room that has been heavily sealed. .

There is no door in this secret room, and the furnishings inside are also extremely simple, except for an elf-style chair placed on the edge, there is only the altar standing in the center.

There are countless mysterious symbols engraved around the altar, and there is a faint energy flowing in the inscriptions. On the altar, there is a heroic and majestic female statue.

"Your Highness, is this the Ascension Altar described in that document?" It was Badigal again.

This time, Shia spoke, "Yes, this is the Ascension Altar built according to the information given by the elves!"

Although the others have read the information, it is the first time to see the real altar with their own eyes, so someone asked again:

"Your Highness, did you bring us here just to show off this altar?"

"no!"

Shia sighed suddenly, pointed to her own statue on the altar in front, and said, "Didn't you find anything unusual about that statue?"

Although everyone's bodies and projections did not enter this secret room, but under the spell of Princess Shia, the complete perception was brought over, and a brand new carrier was created for it.

Maybe it was because of Princess Shia's presence that everyone didn't pay attention to the female statue with obvious features. Now, after Princess Shia's reminder, everyone began to observe carefully.

Not long after, Horn suddenly let out a light sigh, and said in disbelief: "This statue seems to be consecrating faster?"

In the ascension information given by the elves, the sanctification of the statue is a measure with special significance in the process of ascension to the gods. Once all sanctification is completed, the ascension to the gods has reached a critical step.

But the problem is, according to the elves, the speed of consecration is very stable, and it is impossible to accelerate or decelerate unless——

"His Royal Highness, what have you done? How can the carrier of faith accelerate sanctification?"

The others also quickly noticed the strangeness, and looked at Princess Shia together.

Being watched by everyone, Shia seemed to be suspicious, but her face remained unchanged, she just said: "I didn't do anything, it just happened like this all of a sudden!"

"It's impossible!" Harris said subconsciously.

Badigal snorted coldly, "Is there anything impossible? Do you really think that the elves will give humans the way to ascend to the gods? Maybe there is some conspiracy hidden!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shia again, "Your Highness, I suggest destroying the altar now, clearing all the guidance, and eliminating the influence as soon as possible!"

"Badigarh, you are too sensitive!"

Although Horn also felt that the elves might be playing tricks, when he saw Badigal, he just wanted to refute, "Maybe Her Royal Highness has overlooked something, and this happened!"

Unexpectedly, Princess Shia did not object to this statement, and at the same time said, "The elves did hide something during the ascension ceremony. I have already felt it, but the general direction is still correct. The ceremony can be carried out." So far it has been proven.”

In fact, what Shia didn't say was that she even improved the Ascension Ceremony according to her own understanding. Perhaps it was because of this that the statue of faith was sanctified faster?
However, she chose to hide this behavior that did not follow the agreement of the Seven Towers and made adjustments in private. After all, she still had some selfish intentions.

"Then what did Her Royal Highness want us to do when she summoned us?"

"Sanctification requires the power of faith, accelerating sanctification requires more power of faith, I need your support!"

After Shia finished speaking, the others fell silent. Collecting beliefs is not a trivial matter, the key is to shape beliefs, and to shape beliefs is to distort people's hearts to a certain extent.

Before, the collection of beliefs was only subtly and passively collected. If it was collected actively, it might cause unexpected consequences.

How could the great arcanists who are the rulers of Netheril not consider the risks involved, especially when the disasters of faith that have occurred in history are used as a reference.

Even if it is for the so-called ascension experiment, there is no need to bet the whole of Netheril. Compared with the ascension ceremony provided by the elves for free, they are actually more willing to believe in the method they have developed.

And they are extremely confident that they will be able to research it in the future.

Therefore, when the risk of this ascension experiment was too high, they hesitated.

However, Princess Xiya's face cannot be dismissed easily. Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at Badigal unanimously.

"I--"

Even though he had just suggested that Shia destroy the altar, Badigal's original intention was not here. He just wanted to remind Shia to be vigilant against the elves at all times.

The Ascension Ceremony has been carried out so far, both Netheril and Komanthor have paid a huge price, especially Komanthor, because of this God Ascension plan, I don’t know how many times they gave in during the dialogue between the two countries.

Even for some core interests, there are occasional compromises.

If he suddenly gave up the Ascension Plan and Comanso called directly, Badigal would not be surprised.

And on Netheril's side, do the great arcanists really not want to know the outcome of the Ascension Ceremony at the end?

Even Badigal, who has always disliked elves, is looking forward to it, let alone other people.

But the risk must be considered. Now that Princess Shia has proposed that more power of faith is needed, Badigal doesn't know how to dissuade her.

"I think we can slow it down and observe for a while. Maybe the accelerated sanctification of the statue of faith will stop soon!"

"No! I have been observing for a while. The sanctification process is constantly accelerating. Once the power of faith is lost, the statue will collapse, and it will not be possible to do it again in a short time. In addition, there is a ritual order. The problem, once the statue collapses, maybe the ceremony will fail as a whole."

Shia narrated with a calm face, and then said again, "I need your support!"

The scene fell silent again, and finally Harris said tentatively, "How about we ask the elves?"
