into the night.The sky is rendered with layers of thick ink, the last ray of twilight is swallowed by the night, the crescent moon jumps out of the clouds like a jumping note, and the soft and gentle moonlight falls down.

The moonlight shines on the courtyards and castles of the nobles in the west of Calle City, and shines through the transparent casement into an elegant and spacious study room.The bright light illuminates the entire silver bookshelf.

The young Baron Winster was standing in front of the bookshelf, about to reach out to take down a thick-covered imperial code.

The Baia Empire has disintegrated, and the Telos Territory to which the city of Calle belongs has officially become independent, and is preparing to re-establish the city-state code.As a baron, he also has the right to make suggestions.

A voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Controlling the biggest gangster in Calle City, smuggling arms, trafficking in people, and occasionally acting as a robber... I don't know how many times I have trampled on the laws of the empire in private, and sold my soul to the devil...I can't think of such a person, but now Are you qualified to intervene in the formulation of the law code of the entire city-state?"

Baron Winston's dark brown pupils constricted for a moment.

"Pelot!"

Loudly calling out the name of the guard commander, he turned around, his movements were very neat, and he was about to grab the enchanted long sword hanging by the wall.

The uninvited mysterious man sighed softly, and a small object bounced quickly in Baron Winster's sight, as fast as a flash of lightning.

The next moment, Baron Winston felt as if he had been stung by some insect on his wrist, and a tingling sensation spread all over his body.He involuntarily let go of his hand, and the thing that attacked him jingled and rolled to the ground.

It's a green opal cufflink.The deep and mysterious color resembles the pupils of a mysterious boy.

Baron Winston staggered a few steps, barely holding on to the bookshelf.The hair that was originally neatly combed with pomade became a little messy due to the large movements, but it didn't affect his aristocratic and gentlemanly demeanor.

He quickly calmed down and carefully looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.

Facing Baron Winster's desk, a strange boy who had never seen before was sitting on his large carved wooden high-back chair. Even his casual posture revealed an indescribable elegance. Take it easy.

He looked at Baron Winster as if he was the owner here, and he was looking at the gaffe guest with displeasure.

"Keep quiet, Monsieur Baron."

The boy's voice is also elegant and sweet, like a violin played under the moonlight.The sentence that was just uttered made Baron Winston's body chill.

"Otherwise, I can only take the liberty of using my own way to shut you up forever."

"Who are you? What is your purpose? Who sent you here?"

Baron Winwest lowered his voice tactfully, and fixed his eyes on the young man behind the desk. His eyes swept over his golden hair, deep blue eyes like a secluded lake, and his delicate and perfect face. There was also the jet-black cloak that was made of extraordinary materials at first glance, and even the dark golden buttons that were faintly exposed under the cloak, every detail was spared.

"...Is it Jonas, Rodchelt, or Benson's old vulture?"

"No, I don't know any of these people you mentioned." The young man still smiled, seemingly unaware of his attempt to delay time, but explained seriously, "I just happened to cause a little trouble and solved a problem. The stronghold of the gang, and then followed the stronghold to solve the entire gang, and finally saw your name, Mr. Baron, in the gang's accounts."

"It's such a coincidence, isn't it?" He smiled and spread his hands, "So I took the liberty of coming to visit."

The young man's melodious voice made every word he uttered like a moving aria, extremely sincere: "I have to say, this is really the guidance of fate."

Under the moonlight, the boy's smile was particularly bright, but in the eyes of Baron Winston, it looked like a demon sticking out its fangs in the shadows.

"What exactly do you want? Young man, being too greedy is not a good quality." His voice gradually deepened, with a hint of warning.

"I just wanted to ask you a little favor, it's easy for you."

The scene in front of him became more and more hazy, the moonlight was as intoxicating as warm wine, and the colors in the study kept fading. Baron Winston felt his soul flying lightly, as if he had fallen from reality into a dream.

The boy's voice also became very distant.

Behind the desk, Chu Si quietly put away the test tube in his sleeve, letting the completely volatilized medicine diffuse silently.Looking at the man in a trance, he slightly raised his lips.

These days, in addition to completely eliminating the gangsters, he also used his previous knowledge of pharmacy to quickly familiarize himself with the raw materials of pharmacy in this world, and improved his own special formula.

People in this world are different from the normal technological world.Especially the nobles, they must have equipment to protect against special magic, and spiritual attacks are also included.Once the other party's vigilance is aroused, it is difficult to give hints easily, and maybe the overstrike will turn him into an idiot.

Therefore, Chu Si specially configured a special potion to bypass the magic device's vigilance against spells and mental power, and it was delayed for a while.With Baron Winster's current state of mind, he can easily give spiritual hints.

The boy sitting on the high-back chair casually stood up, a smile flashed in his opal-like eyes.He moved lightly to Baron Winster, who was dizzy and almost drunk, and his mental power spread silently.

"Now..." The boy's low voice was like a whisper, "Listen to me..."

· "Master Issel! You are finally back!"

In the eastern part of Kale City, at the end of Black Street, in a familiar yard.A figure walked in under the moonlight, hair like broken gold flowed out from the cloak.

On the big wooden pile in the yard, the boy who was dozing off little by little sitting on it woke up suddenly. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and stood up.

"Are you okay? I heard that these streets are not safe recently." Chris lowered his voice, his tone seemed to be telling some strange horror stories, "It is said that there are demon minions haunting here."

"Devil's minion?" The young man who returned in the middle of the night chuckled softly, his dark green pupils flickered with curiosity, "...what happened?"

"Tonight, someone found that the entire gang is gone. Everyone is dead." Chris's voice was trembling, "I heard that they all died happily in their dreams... Everyone said it must be The minions of the devil who sneaked into the world did it!"

... None of the gangsters showed up in the past few days, whether it was casinos, taverns, or people collecting protection money on the street, none of them showed up.Many people have been afraid to explore the reason, and it was not discovered by mistake until today.

Speaking of Chris, he remembered the demon lord who was killed by Chu Si in the middle of the sacrifice summoning before. He wondered if something happened at that time, and the demon lord had actually sneaked into the world?

This guess made Chris's body start to tremble, and he couldn't help but clenched the cross on his chest, as if this small cross gave him a great sense of security.

However, after hearing all the causes and consequences, Chu Si fell into a strange silence.

Chris was even more worried. He stared at the boy under the moonlight with an extremely serious expression: "Master Issel, please be careful!"

Over the past few days, this mysterious Master Iser has won the incomparably sincere gratitude and admiration from Chris and the others.

The other party not only taught them a lot of words and knowledge that only upper-class nobles could learn for free, he even shared precious magic and pharmacy and other extraordinary related knowledge without hesitation.And the partners without magic talent were also taught a special set of knight practice secrets by the other party.This favor is too great.Chris can only do his best to repay the other party in his own way.The vigil here is but one of them.

Chu Si knew what they were thinking.In this era when knowledge and resources were monopolized by the upper class nobles, what he did was indeed shocking, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he directly changed the fate of these people.Therefore, he accepted the gratitude of these people with peace of mind.

It's just that listening to Chris' exhortation at this time made him a little dumbfounded.

... Devil minions?

These civilians from another world really lack vision.Shouldn't it be a blessing from the gods to let those villains die in heavenly bliss?

He nodded and accepted the kindness: "I shouldn't have to go out in the middle of the night after this period of time. There are some things that need to be prepared."

Chris breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next half month, apart from teaching these children knowledge on time every day and sending them to buy medicinal materials, Chu Si stayed in the room all the time.

Because his own power was rejected by the world, he seriously thought about the magic and divine arts in the memory of the original owner.With the blessing of the world source stone, he finally got acquainted with the extraordinary power of this world, not just simply learning how to use spells, but mastering the principles of spells.

As for the so-called divine arts...

As the prince of the Baia Empire, an empire where the imperial power and theocracy are unified, the original body did not have a very in-depth study of the magic of the mage, but learned the magic from the church since childhood.Almost all divine spells can be found in his memory.

In the room, a series of beautiful prayers were recited by Chu Si with specific gestures. The peculiar rhythm and tone were like singing a long poem.The vibrations caused by each syllable are captured by his spiritual power.

His eyebrows gradually stretched, and his eyes were clear.

"So this is the principle of divine arts." Stars lit up in his deep and quiet eyes, "Specific tone, rhythm, spell-casting gestures, and directional names for gods, use these to communicate the location of gods, temporarily Gain extraordinary power."

In this way, as long as we learn from the principle and make magical changes to the intermediate steps, it can completely become a magical technique directed at Chu Si himself.It is definitely more than enough to fool believers.

"It's just... I'm not a real god, there is no so-called divine power."

According to the sayings circulating in this world, the process of a believer performing a divine spell is a process of communicating with the gods and temporarily borrowing the power of the god... Whether the so-called divine spell can be successful, or even the power of the divine spell, depends entirely on the god's attitude towards the believer. of favor.

Among the divine arts that have been handed down in the world, there are only steps for believers to communicate with the gods. As for how the gods transform the divine power into extraordinary powers and bestow them on the believers, I am afraid that only the gods themselves can know.

"I really want to catch a god and study it..." A dangerous idea flashed in Chu Si's mind, but he put it down because it was unrealistic. "Unfortunately, I can't catch it. It seems that I can only grope slowly..."

He opened the door and walked out, looking at the rows of houses in the distance and the retro castles in the distance.

The most sunny noon had just passed, and the entire city of Kale was shrouded in the faint warm wind in the afternoon.Several children in the yard held wooden sticks as cross swords, practicing the most basic swordsmanship in knight practice.A little girl named Yisha watched carefully with her round eyes open.

Chu Si couldn't help but smile.

"This city of Calle is the best experimental field."

At this time, the sound of the wheels of the carriage came from the street not far away. The sound came from far to near, and finally stopped at the entrance of this dilapidated courtyard.

The children who were gesturing to each other stopped their movements and looked up at the door together.

A gorgeous and elegant carriage appeared on this dilapidated long street. Four pure white horses snorted and exhaled a puff of white gas. The body was made of expensive lacquered wood, symbolizing the home of the Winster family. The emblem reflects a golden awn in the sunlight.

Such a luxurious carriage, which is incompatible with the Eastern District, parked quietly outside the courtyard gate.It's like a wrapped gift box waiting for the owner to unpack it.

"Oh, it seems that everything is ready..."

Chu Si and Yisha explained a few words, stepped out of the courtyard, and stared at the familiar family crest on the carriage.

Ever since he discovered Baron Winster's private smuggling business and huge network of contacts in the gang stronghold, Chu Si set his mind on him.With the secret energy of the other party, it must be easy to create an identity for Chu Si that can be faked in Kale City.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, Baron Winston got out of the carriage with a smile on his face, and bowed deeply in front of the boy.

"Your Honorable Viscount, Your Excellency Adrian, it is an honor to serve you."

The young man's golden hair shone brighter under the sun, and he smiled slightly.

……

"A young viscount from the north, with a different personality, a genius mage who likes to travel around..." Chu Si was very interested in the carriage, "Is this my current identity?"

Compared with when they first met, Baron Winster has completely changed at this time. He replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency. And this Viscount Adrian is not a fiction."

"He is indeed a traveler who came to the south to gather wind, the real thing. Unfortunately, this unfortunate young man died of an accident 20 days ago, in a country manor not far from the city of Calle .”

For a small southern city like Calle City, the status of Viscount is precious enough.However, this identity is nothing on the Xiya continent, and it will not cause unnecessary attention and investigation.

"well-done."

A smile of approval appeared on Chu Si's face.Seeing Viscount Winster, who was gentle on the surface but ruthless on the inside, immediately showed a deeply honored expression.

"...Well, it seems that my brainwashing method is very successful. Maybe it can be promoted?" The carriage drove the two into the Winster family's castle.Soon after, a banquet will be held here. Baron Winster has invited all the nobles in Calle City, and is going to introduce a distinguished guest to everyone.

Thus, our brand-new Viscount Rhine Adrian appeared in front of the nobles of the city of Callais, and became the center of the topic in the city of Callais for a long time to come.

The commoners talked about his mysterious origin, noble title, noble bearing and easy-going disposition.The nobles were impressed by his elegant and decent manners, his appearance as if loved by a god, his profound knowledge, and his charm that easily attracted people to him.

As a result, the Viscount quickly gained recognition from the nobles in Calle City, and was widely invited by them to visit him.

However, what the pleasure-loving nobles of Callais don't know is that the longer they spend with this new friend, the closer they are to losing themselves.Every step they take is stepping into the abyss.

Unknowingly, Kalai City fell into Chu Si's control step by step.He quietly became the uncrowned king of darkness.

·half year later.

Businessmen and travelers from several major duchies in the north walked into this remote town in the south and found it special at a glance.

The streets paved with unknown materials are clean and tidy, with tall trees rising from the ground, and under the thick green shade, the buildings facing the street are neat and orderly.

The most eye-catching thing is the civilians on the street. These people look excited. After careful observation, you will find that the goal of most of them is the magnificent church in the center of the city.

Since the Pope was pushed to the trial stand and burned to death before the Holy Cathedral, similar things have happened in other churches on the Shia Continent.Even if there were still believers who believed in the gods, most of them lost their faith after the temple in the Emerald City collapsed.Especially now that the power of the Magic Council has been greatly increased, there are still people going to the church?

In the tavern, these outsiders asked questions curiously, and some drunks laughed out loud because of their drunkenness.Several young people in the caravan blushed in embarrassment.

"Young man, let's not talk about other places, our city of Carlisle is different." The tavern owner with a full beard grinned, with admiration in his eyes, "All this is thanks to the respected Viscount Adrian, The nobles were moved by his character and donated the books at home for free, and Viscount Adrian engraved a copy with magical spells, and placed it in the current church."

"Viscount Adrian sent someone to teach everyone the text for free and organize everyone to rebuild the city of Calle. Even civilians can go to the church to learn more new knowledge based on their own contributions."

"Even the magic books and knight training methods in the hands of nobles, as long as they make enough contributions to Kale City in the future, they will have the opportunity to learn."

The young man in the caravan listened attentively, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out a sentence that he wanted to settle permanently.

The tavern owner was even more excited, talking endlessly about the changes after the arrival of Viscount Adrian, his tone full of admiration and gratitude.

Things like this happen almost every day.

……

In the church in the center of Kale City, Chu Si stood in front of a tall statue of God.The statues carved in marble are solemn and sacred, exuding a high and coldness.

Rows of bookshelves are placed in the side hall of the church. In the quiet side hall, there is only the sound of books being flipped.

The group of children in the slums are carefully flipping through the books at this time, and they are also responsible for copying the copies at ordinary times, imparting knowledge to the common people who have made contributions.

Holding a cross sword in his hand, Chris stood quietly inside the church door, like a real knight.He put on a childish face and tried his best to make a serious expression.Although Master Iser didn't need it, he still had to take the initiative to guard the other party's safety.

He glanced into the church from time to time.

The blond boy stood quietly in the church, facing the sacred and solemn statue.

The light pouring down from the dome fell on his face, coating his perfect face with a layer of divine light.It looks more sacred than the statue of the gods.But there is an extra bit of human tenderness.

The boy raised his head slightly.

The invisible power of faith surged and roared between heaven and earth. With him as the center, the brilliance of faith in the city of Kale, whether deep or shallow, thick or light, gathered into a vortex and came towards the direction of the church.The destination was not the gods in front of him, but all of them gathered on the young man.

After these countless attempts, Chu Si seems to have understood the method of gods transforming extraordinary powers with their own divine power and bestowing divine spells on believers.

The divine power of the gods comes from faith, but Chu Si has no interest in absorbing faith.

He threw [-]% of it into the system space as an energy reserve.The remaining [-]% of the power of faith, after research by Chu Si, can be fed back to believers in a special way when they use magic to communicate with the gods, and become their own extraordinary power.

This is similar to the principle of the gods bestowing magic on believers.

In this way, the strength of the magic that each believer can display will depend on the degree of piety of their belief.The more devout the person's belief, the stronger the power will be fed back to them after being transformed by the power of belief.

"Well, it's fair to offer [-]% of the power of faith and give back [-]%." After all, without Chu Si's transformation, ordinary people can't use the power of faith at all.

Now that the core method of the gods has been researched, that is, the method of bestowing divine spells on believers.Well, it seems that his fake god can start working from today.

It's just that - the so-called gods, in the cognition of most ordinary people, should be great existences whose life level surpasses that of mortals.

Like him, he has only received the reverence and belief of ordinary people, and the essence of life is still the existence of mortals, but he has mastered the technology of transforming the power of faith into extraordinary power, so he can pretend to be a god.

So, what kind of existence will the original god who has been preached by the church for countless years be like?

The boy's slender eyelashes blinked, and a strange light flashed in the blue eyes of the god statue.

...Sure enough, I still want to catch it and study it.
