Chapter 0628: The Power of Moon Shadow
Floating giant ship.
In a secret cabin.
Grim and Alice sat opposite each other, with only a palm-sized wooden statue placed on the simple wooden table. At this moment, on the wooden statue of the god, there are red ropes wrapped around it in a strange way.
The red rope looks very ordinary, as if it is just an ordinary thing, but it overflows with strange witchcraft fluctuations, completely sealing the mysterious atmosphere inside the wooden statue.
This seems to be a weird sealing technique!
It was only because the material it used was such an ordinary red rope that Greem found it extraordinarily mysterious and unpredictable in witchcraft.
"What's so strange about this!" Alice seemed to notice Grim's surprise, and she pursed her lips and smiled maliciously: "The materials used by ancient wizards to cast spells were always rags picked up casually, or stones or soil. , or things like bones, plant juices, etc. The witchcraft they release can use the power of rules to leverage the laws of the plane. There is no need to rely on those powerful witchcraft materials like the current rookie wizards. Complements the witchcraft effect.”
"Uh..." Greem was speechless for a while: "Why do I feel like I have become what you call a first-rate rookie wizard!"
"You are much better than them!" Alice said with a slight smile: "I think back then, if I hadn't been knocked unconscious by your weird instant witchcraft, how could I have been so unlucky to fall into your hands... …”
After saying this, his eyes were full of sighs and sighs!
Greem rolled his eyes helplessly and said in a low voice: "Didn't you call me to explore the secrets of this statue today? Why did you get involved in those old events for no reason..."
To be honest, the process of defeating Alice back then didn't seem that glorious, and there were many 'tragic memories' of being viciously chased by Alice. So when he mentioned these, Grim felt itchy all over, wishing he could take them directly from his own body. Erased from memory.
Although she has gone through so much hardship and pressure, Alice has become more stable and experienced. But the cunning and narrow-mindedness in his heart was still there, and he couldn't help but settle old scores with Greem whenever he got the chance.
Seeing that Grim couldn't resist, Alice let him go and warned him "seriously".
"I will unseal this statue in a while... If I make a slight mistake in my operation at that time, I may alert the legendary God of Moonlight..."
After hearing this, even Greem's expression became a little solemn.
God, this word is a huge taboo for wizards.
There are no gods in the wizarding world, and gods are not allowed to appear.
What wizards worship is knowledge, ability, and a mind that is always calm and wise!
Once a believer kneels before a god, it means that he has voluntarily handed over the dominance of his consciousness. From now on, all his actions and thoughts must be measured against the will of the gods.
And he himself became a continuation of the god's will, a carrier, or simply put, a puppet!
Wizards are not fit to have faith!
If it really must be there, it can only be knowledge!
Once this foundation is lost, the wizard also loses the meaning and independence of his existence.
Therefore, in the wizarding world, there has always been a clear distinction between personal worship and belief. Once a wizard crosses this boundary, he will immediately become a public enemy of the entire wizard group.
However, rejecting faith is rejecting faith. However, many wizards have conducted in-depth and extensive research on the power of faith, a completely different kind of mysterious power, with curiosity, and have initially understood their power attributes and characteristics.
First of all, the formation of the power of faith relies on strong psychological suggestions.
Gods will find ways to ingrain the core rules of their priesthood into the hearts of believers, and allow believers to repeatedly strengthen their psychological implications through specific actions, speeches, or rituals, thus forming a psychological dependence. Make believers regard the core rules of gods as a supreme goal to realize the meaning of their lives.
In this process of spiritual interaction, those pure and persistent soul consciousnesses will inspire strange spiritual powers, thus forming the power of faith. Therefore, from the perspective of the origin of magic, the power of faith should belong to the category of extraordinary spiritual power.
If you look at the problem from a narrow spiritual perspective, it seems that the evil brain-eating monster Mind Flayer, who is famous in the multiverse, and these plane gods are simply "brothers" of the same sect. It's just that one of them was a red wolfberry, and he swallowed the brains of other creatures without any cover-up, thereby replenishing his own strength. The other one just made the process very long and regarded each believer as his own flock and source of strength. The process of devouring is infinitely beautified and modified, making it appear very high-end.
But if you cut through the hypocritical surface, what's the difference between the two?
What makes wizards most disdainful of gods is their attitude and way of treating believers.
Various studies have fully shown that only ignorant and weak intelligent races are the best source of the power of faith. Therefore, in order to keep the mentality of believers pure, the countries and territories controlled by the gods reject the development of technology and civilization.
For thousands of years, the gods have made full use of the contradictions and conflicts of interest between kings and nobles, big nobles and small nobles, nobles and ordinary people, creating various social unrest and armed conflicts between them. And the creatures who have always lived in this kind of conflict and hardship will place everything on their illusory and pious faith.
As a result, the huge and continuous power of faith has become the source of power for the gods to continue to grow. But in this way, whether it is the gods at the top of the biological chain or the poor farmers at the bottom, they have become two grasshoppers tied to this chain of faith. It's just that one is powerful and terrifying, and the other is weak and terrifying.
Unfortunately, no matter how disparate their powers are, they have all become parasites on the laws of the plane.
The gods collect the power of faith, and then transform this power of faith into more concentrated divine power through some of the plane laws they master, thus becoming powerful shepherds who stand proudly at the pinnacle of the plane.
The plane is their pasture, the wisdom believers are their cattle and sheep, and the statues of gods on the wooden table in front of them are props for the ignorant cattle and sheep to communicate with their masters!
Greem and Alice may be such powerful and terrifying figures in front of the cows and sheep, but in the eyes of the gods, they are just two slightly stronger cows, sheep or ants.
Therefore, any move against gods must be done with great caution.
According to some witchcraft books, mentioning the name or priesthood of a powerful deity within the plane will invisibly trigger the laws of the plane, causing the deity to have a vague feeling. If this god still possesses the priesthood of prophecy, he can even deduce the causes and consequences of the whole thing and countless possibilities for the future based on this vague sense...
Fortunately, the moonlight god Miwei they were dealing with this time was not bad at prophecy, otherwise Alice would not have dared to try to analyze the statues imbued with her belief in the plane of Faen.
Seeing Alice's eagerness to give it a try, Grim couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "What on earth do you want to do by calling me here? I don't know anything about the power of faith. I'm afraid it will be difficult to help you!"
Alice smiled slightly: "I called you here not to ask you to do something, but to ask you to sit next to me and watch me do it quietly."
"Then what?"
"You are the calmest and wisest wizard I have ever seen. You can use your own judgment and destroy the statue without hesitation once you find something wrong with my unsealing ceremony or exploration process. . I'm worried...I won't be able to destroy this statue at that time..."
Grim nodded and understood.
It turns out that Alice called herself here just to let herself act as a supervisor. Once Alice's actions touched the Moonlight God, the other party would naturally have the means to strangle her, a first-level shrimp, to death. And at that time, it was Greem's time to try to save her life!
Of course, this is just a wizard's cautious instinct.
The God of Moonlight is such a high-ranking deity. Unless there is a special reason or special stimulation, it is very difficult to attract her attention. Therefore, when Alice said these gentle words to Grim, the two of them did not really think that such a thing would happen, and they were still in a relaxed mood.
Seeing Alice's slender white fingers gently touching the red rope on the statue and untying it in a certain order, Grim smiled slightly and started communicating with the chip in his mind.
"Chip, pay attention to observe and record Alice's every move. If you find anything wrong, take immediate steps to intervene..."
"Hey, the command has been received and the records are being scanned..."
With the nimble movements of Alice's slender fingers, the red rope sealing the wooden statue was finally completely broken!
With the next move, a soft and mysterious power spread out from the statue. This simple statue, which was originally carved from ordinary oak, came to life in a strange way.
The originally rough and crude statue with only simple eyes and nose began to stretch and change, the wooden texture became delicate and smooth, and the slightly convex wooden nose suddenly became graceful and straight. What is even more frightening is that the statue has a pair of tightly closed eyes. The eyelashes of his eyes were flickering, and they seemed to be opening.
"Dip, I sensed the emergence of mysterious power, the source comes from inside the divine items... I detected the emergence of small space collapse, and the mysterious space channel is being formed..."
A series of red alarms quickly echoed in Greem's mind. Greem glanced at it and immediately noticed that Alice was staring at the wooden statue with absent-minded eyes, seemingly unaware of the approaching danger.
Space channel?
What is that damn moon god trying to convey?
Even if it is just a small space collapse, the power transmitted may not be something Greem and Alice can bear.
Therefore, Greem raised his right hand without hesitation and punched the wooden statue of the god hard.
The violent and ferocious power of flames exploded instantly, and the wooden statue with half eyes opened instantly fell into pieces, and the strange aura of power also disappeared simultaneously.
The next second, Greem and Alice fell to the ground, spitting blood at the same time, and a strange phantom of the moon appeared inexplicably on their foreheads...
