God seal

The moon and stars are sparse, and the evening breeze is gentle.

In a majestic city near the lake, the lights are bright, and the owner is holding a banquet.What is different from usual is that at today's banquet, there were no beauties with slightly exposed arms and fragrant shoulders, but gentlemen with serious clothes and serious faces.

The atmosphere of the dinner party was a bit serious because of the lack of embellishment of perfume and beauties. It seemed that everyone had a tight thread in their hearts.Then, with the arrival of the last guest at the conference, the string that was in everyone's heart was stretched to the extreme.

It was a knight still wearing light armor, and he still smelled of gunpowder smoke. No one at the scene commented that he was not dressed properly, and all eyes were on him.The host of the banquet, the Marquis of Rent of the Empire, greeted him.

"Your Excellency the Knight Commander."

"Lord Marquis." Yvonne nodded slightly to him as a compliment, "I'm late today, please forgive me."

Lord Marquis quickly expressed his forgiveness. Compared with the important matter of the knight commander, such a small banquet is just a trivial matter.

"Where is that lord?" Yvonne didn't seem to be in the mood to gossip with him, and cut directly to the subject, "I didn't see him, did I come early?"

The expression of the Marquis of Rent became embarrassing, "His Royal Highness, His Highness naturally arrived early, but he was a little tired and rested at the back for the time being. Wait for me to report..."

Yvonne had just finished fighting the demonized creature, and the long sword in his hand was still stained with blood. Hearing the words, he said lightly, "No, I'd better go directly to see His Highness."

After all, without waiting for the Marquis to dissuade him, he walked towards the rest area behind the banquet hall with long legs.Yvonne was tall and long-legged, and within a few steps, he heard Yingge Yanyu from the rest area.

"Your Highness, where are you touching your hand?"

"I hate it, I know how to bully people."

Accompanied by the coquettishness of the women and the low smiles of the men, the lewd words made the Marquis turn blue.But before he had time to stop Yvonne so that he could spare some time for His Royal Highness, Yvonne had already waved his hand and opened the curtain.

In a dark corner, on a suede sofa several people wide, several scantily clad women were flirting with a young man.However, what attracts the most attention is not the naked parts of those women, but the man in the middle with long hair as bright as the sun.Yvonne broke in suddenly, and these people were all taken aback.The women screamed and covered their bodies. The man in the middle took off his coat and put it on them, then glared at Yvonne: "Who allowed you to come in!"

It was because of his angry look that Yvonne could see his face clearly.Just look at the pair of blue eyes, and the handsome face like a painting, among the women present, none of them are half as good-looking as him.

Yvonne took a look, then lowered his head, and performed a half-kneeling salute.He lowered the twitch of the corner of his mouth, opened his mouth, and said respectfully, "Yvonne, Knight Commander of the Holy Knight Order of the Temple of Light, has met His Royal Highness Ledevisi."

Ledwig Birump, the second heir to the throne of the northern human empire, a handsome young man known as the "Corolla of the Imperial Capital", was caught off guard by Yvonne's kneeling.He forgot the beauties around him for a moment, looked at this knight who had just returned from the battlefield, and looked extraordinarily heroic, and said in a daze: "You...why did you come to me?"

The beauties all retreated, and the conversations inside the curtain came intermittently.Seeing that Yvonne did not show any dissatisfaction with His Royal Highness's frivolous words and deeds, the Marquis of Rent breathed a sigh of relief.This time, if they lost this partner they had negotiated with so much difficulty, then their trips to the Holy City a few days ago would have been wasted.

but--

Listening to the prince's ignorant question in the curtain, and listening to Yvonne's orderly answer, Lord Marquis couldn't figure it out.

Why would such a behemoth as the Temple of Light seek cooperation from His Royal Highness?You must know that apart from that face that Prince Ledwig can see, he is also incompetent in martial arts and martial arts. The most important thing is that he is still a useless person who "lacks magic power".

He couldn't figure it out here, but Yvonne was very satisfied with the idiot prince he saw.Faced with Ledwig's uncooperative attitude, Yvonne only said:

"Even if Your Highness doesn't want to inherit the throne, have you ever thought about how you will deal with yourself after the first crown prince ascends the throne? Have you ever thought about what kind of crisis the nobles who follow you will face at that time? Even if you don't Don’t want to, have you never thought that you can cure your “magic power deficiency” disease, so you don’t have to bear the name of a useless person from now on?”

When Redwig heard the first two sentences, he only frowned, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately dared not answer: "Could it be possible that your Temple of Light can heal me?"

Yvonne looked at the baited little lamb, and said with a slight smile, "Dui, you can do anything."

……

The chessboard is already full of chess pieces. What is different from the general chess board is that in this game, all the black pieces are on the bottom, all the white pieces are on the top, and there is a huge circular space in the middle.

Master Frans pointed to the chessboard and said: "There are rumors in the world that Eli created the world. He created the continent first, then created the sea of ​​trees and the abyss, and finally created the isolated Dragon Island. And the mainland was destroyed because of a battle of gods." It was cut into two parts, one part is the part we live in today, and the other part is silent with the ancient creatures, becoming a part of the abyss."

Searle remembered the black-faced mermaid caught near the abyss, and that fish was still locked up by the elves.If that guy is an ancient creature, is it deformed due to not seeing the sun for thousands of years, or is it mutated by the influence of the breath of the abyss?

Before he could think about it any further, Master Frans had already uttered something astonishing.

"If you ask me, it's all superficial! Any continent, any layout, is just an externalized image! The real key to Yili's creation of the world is not the appearance of the continent, nor whether Dragon Island is square or round, but what it creates A kind of energy came out! And it is this kind of energy that gave birth to the growth of all things!"

Searle's heart skipped a beat, vaguely aware of what the old mage was going to say next.

"But this energy is not ordinary energy. How much sunshine and rain does it take for a tree to grow from a sapling to a towering sky? How much food and clothing does a group need to reproduce? How much energy must be consumed if the living beings on the mainland have continued for thousands of years? !"

"But—" Archie couldn't help retorting, "Energy can also be recycled. Big trees can be turned into fertilizers to feed back to the earth, and humans can also produce labor and create new things."

"You're right, but what about the consumption between energy conversions?" Frans glanced at him, "One hundred units of natural energy cannot be converted into one hundred units of magic energy. The conversion here During the process, at least [-]% of the energy is consumed due to work. Even if the energy can be recycled, the cycle itself has consumed an unimaginable amount of energy for thousands of years. And have you never thought about it? Born in this world In the beginning, before everything existed, what provided the source of the world, the energy needed to give birth to the first tree in this world?"

Archie was stumped.Master Frans didn't expect him to answer, and was about to continue speaking, but he heard someone beside him say, "It's God."

"So you mean that Eli drew the power of the gods to create this world?" Ser asked, "So, where did the gods, and even Eli's power, come from?"

Frans gave him a surprised look, then shook his head again.

"That's beyond my scope of vision. But I can answer you, I guessed right, I think it was Eli who used the gods as nourishment to support the world at the beginning of the creation of the world, which caused the current situation. No matter Whether it was the battle of the gods 1000 years ago or the dispute between the Temple of Light and you now, the essence is the same. The gods don’t want to perish in vain, so they will rebel against Eli again and again in order to survive. Of course, these speculations are correct The premise is that the conjecture that Yili feeds on God to feed the world itself is correct."

Searle didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, the other two heard his voice.

"There's no need to guess. Waterland, Hephaes, and my father have all testified to this point. Therefore, now Duyi provokes the devil to appear in this world, and wants to use my divine presence, all in order to liberate himself ? But even if Shenlin succeeds that day, how can he get rid of Eli's control?"

Frans shook his head: "I can't answer these for you either. But I can answer your first question. Dui's divine presence may not have completely failed that day."

"What?!" Archie exclaimed.

"There have been several times of divine presence in history. Apart from Duyi, the most recent one was the divine presence of the water god in White Rose City. You are all witnesses. You should still remember how the water god ended the divine presence at that time? It was you who brought him Chased away?"

"No, he saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he took the initiative to end God's visit." Searle said.

Frans nodded: "And after that, the power of the Temple of the Water God weakened for a while. It can be seen that God's presence can only be ended by God on his own initiative, and the god who ends God's presence will have a period of weakness. But what about Duyi? The Temple of Light The power of China has not weakened recently, on the contrary, they have become stronger."

Searle said solemnly: "What is your guess?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that the power of the God of Light is far stronger than that of the God of Water. Even if he is forced to end the divine presence, his divine power will not be damaged. Another possibility..." Mage Frans sighed, "The God of Dui The coming is not over at all. Even though Bethien's body is destroyed, Dui's consciousness still exists in the world in some way, and the Temple of Light is actively looking for his next body."

……

"So as long as I go to the Holy City, the Holy One of Light will be able to cure my 'lack of magic power'?"

Ledwig asked expectantly.

Yvonne replied: "Yes, with His Royal Highness's reputation, even if you want to compete with the First Crown Prince, it's all right."

"I don't care about that!" Redwig waved impatiently, "Then can I learn spells? Can I study at Vann College? Maybe I can learn divination spells?!"

Before Yvonne could speak, His Highness the Prince was already jumping up for his brain power.

He said, "Okay, I'll go with you to the Holy City! Well, what knight, can we start now?"

Yvonne: "...Yes."
