I Made Scientific Magic

Chapter 484 We Are All God's Playthings, Ivana's Faith Breakdown

The sudden voice startled Ivana, and the girl quickly turned her head to look at the past. A wizard who looked only in his twenties was leaning against the wall beside the stone bed.

"Star of Magic... Lynn?" Ivana naturally recognized him at a glance.

Over the past few months, Ivana has heard a lot about the other party's legendary deeds in the wizard academy in the city of fire oil. In fact, investigating this star of magic is also one of the tasks Gustav sent her.

It's just that due to Lynn's high status in the Wizarding Council, she and Monroe had no chance to get close to each other. It can be said that they didn't officially meet the magic star until last night.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ivana vaguely felt that the wizard in front of her was familiar to her, perhaps because her hair color was somewhat similar to that of her brother Lott.

The girl was thinking like this, while Lin En on the side nodded and said.

"Yes, it's me!"

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. Both you and Monroe should be sent by the church to go undercover in the city of fire oil, right? If that's the case, why did you attack the church's saint Cynthia last night?" Lynn continued to ask.

Although he had already learned part of the information in the girl's mind, he still wanted to hear what the other party was thinking.

Ivana did not respond, but took a deep breath, fixed her eyes on Lynn, and asked back. "I want to know what a wizard is..."

"That's a good question." Lin En didn't care about the girl's intentional deflection of the topic, but said with a smile. "The parliament doesn't have an accurate definition of a wizard yet, but if we have to find some characteristics for it, it is someone who explores the laws of the world and uses magic to gain power from it."

"How the world works?" Ivana murmured to herself.

"For example, what is wind, what is water, why apples fall to the ground, why eagles can soar in the sky, why the sun and the moon move, we understand, research, summarize the laws of things, and use magic to reproduce them ..." Lynn said word by word. "This is wizards, this is magic!"

Every word of Lynn echoed in Ivana's mind. In fact, after entering the Wizarding Academy, she asked several professors similar questions and got many different answers--wizards have excellent magical talents , who can master magic...

A wizard is an elite selected from thousands of people, a god-sent person who uses magic to change the world.

Only Philip, who teaches elementals, said something similar to Lynn. A wizard is a person who explores the truth and obtains power from it.

"What about magic? What is magic?" Ivana thought for a while before asking again.

"In a sense, magic is a special kind of magic!" Lynn responded lightly.

"Magic?" Ivana paused obviously, then frowned again. "But you just said that magic is the summary and application of the laws of the world, but according to my understanding, the bishops and priests of the empire only need to pray every day and study the Bible is enough..."

Like the kingdom, there are academies in the main cities of the empire, but there is no need to study chemistry, physics, elements, and potions, but the most basic literacy, arithmetic, and the most important prayer ceremonies. Comprehension of the content of the Bible...

"That's what makes it so special!" Lynn smiled, and instead of giving a long explanation, he took two steps forward, put his hands on Ivana's head, and whispered. "Don't resist!"

The girl shrank her neck, a little uncomfortable with Lynn's slightly intimate behavior, but she still compulsively sat on the stone bed and remained motionless.

Ivana, who had seen Lynn's power, understood very well that she had no room to resist if the other party wanted to do something.

After about two or three seconds, a slight pain came to her heart, as if something had been poured into her brain.

In a drowsy state, Lynn removed her right hand from her head, and a gentle voice resounded in the confinement room.

"Now you can try it!"

try what? Ivana looked at Lin En blankly, but she soon realized that there was a mysterious rune in her brain. With a thought, the mysterious rune lit up in the sea of ​​consciousness stand up.

Immediately afterwards, a flickering thunderball appeared in front of him, making crackling sounds.

A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Ivana's face. She naturally knew the thunder spell, which was a very dangerous and powerful magic. The most important thing was that she had never learned it before, but she was able to mobilize the magic power to release it.

"For legendary wizards, this is not a difficult thing to do. If you have read my magic treatise [Analysis and Research Report on Divine Magic Energy], you should know that the essence and magic power of divine magic have nothing to do with it. Different!" Lynn explained succinctly.

In this different world, magic power is the root of all supernatural powers!

To put it bluntly, the magic arts commonly used by the church are just a kind of use of energy.

Of course, there are also some spells related to psionic powers.

For example, the divine spell [Hymn of Courage] that the bishops used to inspire the army can put the spirits of tens of thousands of people in a state of extreme excitement and fanaticism, and even forget their pain and fear, and risk their lives to fight.

"So, the goddess of the moon, the creator of all things is also... a wizard?" Ivana said with difficulty.

Last night, at the base of the Duke's mansion, Harov and Aurora had told her about it, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

Ella, the goddess of the moon, created the continent and everything under their feet. This is the "truth" she has heard and heard since she was a child.

"Of course, [Ella] was also a wizard, and she was the best and most powerful of all wizards at that time. She defeated the rest of her competitors with unparalleled strength, and began to suppress and kill her former colleagues. Delusion to become a god who rules the entire continent..." Lynn said succinctly, and then continued to complain.

"As for the evidence... There are not too many mistakes and omissions in the Bible. Anyone who knows something about the world will not believe that she is the so-called creator."

As the creator of the world, he can even make mistakes about how the stars work, whether the continents are flat or spherical, this can only be described as funny!

However, Lynn is also aware of the difficulties of the other party. It is obvious that the Bible was written hundreds of years ago during the War of Faith. At that time, the Church's understanding of the world may have been like this.

Lynn believes that in the past few hundred years, [Ella], who has grown in strength, can also detect the loopholes in it, but once the Bible is finalized, it must not be changed at will!

After all, in [Ella]’s setting for herself, everything in this world exists because of her.

And the supreme God is impossible to make mistakes. Whether right or wrong, the divine words and creation recorded in the Bible must be the truth of the world. As omniscient and great as they imagined...

Immediately afterwards, more and more people will question the content of the Bible, and their faith will begin to waver.

This is the trouble with too high a force...

Ivana naturally knew everything Lynn said. On the first day they joined the Wizarding Academy, they visited the magic showroom together.

There are all kinds of novel and exquisite experiments inside - the law of free fall of two balls, the calculation of gravitational constant by mirror reflection, the verification of geostrophic deflection force by pendulum, etc...

Some of the experiments don't even require magic. With some simple equipment, even an ordinary poor man can reproduce them.

Just like the words engraved in the showroom, written by Lynn himself: the truth is placed there, allowing anyone to explore, question and practice...

Because of this, Ivana questioned all the common sense she had known in the past for the first time.

Seeing the girl's shaken and unbelievable expression, Lynn spoke again.

"One of the top leaders of the church, your boss, Gustav, released the evil spirits in the northern border, causing tens of thousands of casualties, and has now been arrested by Speaker Vittorio, just last night!"

"It's impossible!" Ivana's eyes widened, and she subconsciously vetoed it. Gustav was the one who sent her to the City of Fire Oil to carry out the mission, and was her instructor. commander of the army.

After she joined the God's Punishment Army, what she did the most was to hunt down the believers of the evil gods and stop them from performing blood sacrifices to maintain the peace of the empire's citizens.

"Nothing is impossible." Lynn said playfully. "I'm going to meet him, do you want to come and see him?"

Vittorio tortured Gustave for a whole night, but the other party was just like Joshua, with a very stiff mouth and no intention of opening his mouth at all, but it is said that his spirit was already very weak.

According to Vittorio's words, the opponent can open his mouth within three days!

Lynn has deep doubts about this. Those who can be selected as high-level church members are basically fanatics or even saints. It is unrealistic to expect the other party to betray.

However, Vittorio is very confident. He slightly improved the magic of [Psychic Retrieval] and combined it with alchemy, so that he can read the magic power when the opponent's mood fluctuates violently and the defense line of the mind is lost. Some superficial thoughts.

Ivana may be a good breakthrough, and it can stimulate Gustav well.

He had discovered some noteworthy things in the girl's memory before, but the information he knew was too little at Ivana's level. Perhaps only Gustav, the commander of the God's Punishment Army, could give him the answer he wanted.

...

Five minutes later, Lynn led Ivana into the secret room where Gustav was held.

This place was set up at the bottom of an ordinary house, which was dug out by Vittorio himself. There was no decoration inside, and there were only chains of runes that shone fluorescently in the dark.

"Gustav, right? I'm Lynn, which is what you call the messenger of doom. This should be the first time we've met." Lynn strolled leisurely in the dark secret room, his voice raised slightly. Constantly reverberating inside.

The listless Gustav slowly raised his drooping head, but instead of looking at Lynn, he fixed his eyes on the girl standing behind, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, as if The sharpness of the two blades stands out.

Ivana did not dodge or fear, but passed Lynn and stood in front of Gustav.

Looking at each other, Gustav looked angry, and looked at the girl with disappointment and contempt.

"I misunderstood you, Ivana, I wanted to promote you to be my deputy before this time, and accept the baptism of the great lord, but you dare to betray the church and the great lord!"

When Vittorio was interrogated last night, he used the incident of the defeat and killing of the new saint to stimulate and affect his emotions, and Gustav also learned some inside information from it.

If it wasn't for Ivana's temporary rebellion that allowed Lynn to be promoted on the spot, perhaps the incarnation of the Lord would have dealt with these damn wizards long ago.

It was undoubtedly his fault!

It was my own misjudgment that caused a slight deviation, causing the church to lose everything...

Gustav's heart was filled with endless remorse, and his spirit fluctuated violently, and the rune chains wrapped around his body faintly glowed brighter.

"It should be you who betrayed us, Lord Gustav!" Ivana took another step forward, staring into Gustav's eyes, and questioned. "Tell me, why did the church release the evil gods in the northern border of the kingdom, and are the frequent chaos of evil gods in the empire related to the church?"

Gustav remained silent. Ivana's betrayal had become a fact, and the defense was obviously meaningless, not to mention that he was captured by Vittorio from the northern border of the kingdom.

This long silence made Ivana's little trust in the Church disappear, and her belief in the Moon Goddess also collapsed instantly.

The girl bit her lips tightly. Could it be that, as Lynn said, the inexhaustible chaos of evil gods is the result of the church's deliberate connivance.

The philosophy and persistence of the God's Punishment Army have been fighting the evil one after another, and what is the reason for the colleagues who are willing to sacrifice their lives for this?

In the eyes of [Ella], the fight they risked their lives was just a fun to pass the leisure time? A tool to strengthen and catalyze belief?

Ivana spoke out all the questions in her heart, and the sound of questioning continued to echo in the secret room.

She wondered, what kind of mood did Gustav, who was the God's Punishment Army and knew all the truth, instruct the God's Punishment Army to stage this ridiculous drama?

"Of course it's worth it, everyone's sacrifice is not in vain!" Gustav finally spoke, with a hint of pity and fanaticism on his face. "They will all integrate into the Lord's Kingdom of God and become a part of the Lord!"

"Soon, it won't be long before the kingdom of heaven will come to the world, and by then, all suffering and evil will disappear!"
