Struggle in the Steam Age

"Praise the god of knowledge, great Oghma. You are the master of inspiration, you are the protector and disseminator of knowledge. You are the spark that ignites creation, and you are the beacon that guides civilization. . . . We depend on you for our Illuminate all the confusion..." While chanting prayers praising the gods together with everyone, Lawrence found that the entire hall of the temple gradually entered a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

With the chanting of the prayer of praise, a surge of divine power slowly appeared in the hall. This divine power appeared in the room like a trickle at first, but then gradually grew stronger. The surrounding candlelight, which seemed a bit dim, also emitted bright light like a fluorescent lamp, illuminating the entire hall.

Under such circumstances, the statues of gods standing high above the altar have also changed. First, a blue light that looked as deep as the sea appeared out of thin air on the ceiling above the statue, and then fell directly on the statue. Then the second, and the third radiated onto the statue like ocean waves.

The frequency of the rays of light was getting higher and higher, and they finally formed a light blue beam of light covering the entire altar in midair. And the adjustment to the light beam gave Lawrence an extremely familiar feeling.

"It seems a bit like my Jianmu phantom." After thinking for a while, Lawrence immediately remembered where his faint familiarity came from, "In other words, this light beam is used to communicate world of men and gods."

After the heaven-piercing beam stabilized, an extremely sacred power spread around the center of the statue. In just a short moment, the hall was filled with the most sacred power, making the whole The atmosphere of the space has changed dramatically from before.

"The gods are about to come." Bai Ze Xuying in Lawrence's mind and Jianmu Xuying hidden deep in his soul reminded together. At the same time, Jianmu Xuying hid himself deeper in Lawrence's soul center, while Bai Ze The phantom became brighter. Finally, because both come from the same source. Jianmu Xuying's aura was completely hidden in Bai Ze's aura.

After feeling the aura of the gods, all the priests knew that the gods were about to set their sights here. So they bent down even lower. At the same time, he recited the prayers with a more pious attitude.

At this time, an eye made of golden light descended from the sky along the beam of light into the statue. The idol immediately emitted a soft golden light. Although this light was not as bright as the previous beam of light, it could even be said to be a little weak, but everyone present could feel this light very clearly.

This is the light of God, and everyone who feels this light knows it very clearly. The Scarlet Sky organization seems to belong to an organization that is clearly registered with the gods, and now it is not only the eyes of the gods, but even a little consciousness of the god of knowledge. Everyone present immediately knelt down, and Lawrence was no exception.

It is a basic etiquette for ordinary people to kneel down and pay homage to the gods when they meet the gods, unless the person can become a demigod who has mastered certain rules, he is eligible to keep standing when meeting the gods.

This is not some kind of shame, but a basic respect for great power. As a man of two lives, Lawrence is naturally not a sophomore, and he will definitely not play anything different at this time.

The power condensed in the statue continued to grow stronger, and when the power accumulated to its peak, a powerful consciousness was projected from the statue. It first stayed on the bracelet on the altar for a while, and then slowly glanced at the crowd.

Lawrence could feel the powerful power contained in this consciousness. Compared with the gods, human beings are very small. And this is just a little consciousness of the gods. Not to mention that this awareness is kind and gentle.

But even so, this is not something ordinary people can resist. Under the gaze of the gods, any mortal who has not mastered the rules will feel a sense of awe from the depths of his soul. This is actually an instinct of living beings, some low-level living beings are innately in awe of high-level living beings.

However, the clergy present did not have the same feeling as Lawrence. Although they were also shocked by the power of the gods, the expression on their faces was more of a kind of joy and satisfaction. More importantly, because of the priesthood of the God of Knowledge, apart from infinite joy, the eyes of each priest are also clearer to varying degrees.

After scanning the hall, this consciousness was projected onto Lawrence. He immediately felt this mighty consciousness enveloping him like a warm sea. Even if it is just a shallow believer, the power of the gods will not hurt him, and it can even make his whole soul feel as warm as returning to his mother's embrace.

This is the reason why he cannot accept the blessings of other gods for the time being: Before the strength reaches a certain level, the conflicts between different beliefs are enough to seriously hurt a person's soul or even completely destroy it.

"Your Majesty the Great God of Knowledge, Lawrence August pays you the highest respect!" After feeling the attention of the God of Knowledge, Lawrence immediately said respectfully.

"Little guy, I've been paying attention to you for a while, since you decided to make the first aid method public—" A melodious middle-aged male voice sounded in Lawrence's mind. "I'm glad you created and spread a lot of the right knowledge, helping my allies and hitting the evil Lady of Disease."

"And today you made another contribution, completely preventing the spread of some evil and wrong knowledge. This is very good. So I want to give you some rewards in recognition of your contribution..."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen blue and gold intertwined rays of light shot out from the statue, and one of them, which was as thick as a wrist, hit Lawrence's eyebrows. In addition, the light that was not much thicker than a hair shone on the heads of all the priests present.

The clergy stared at Lawrence in amazement. As the servants of the God of Knowledge in the mortal world, they are very clear about what this light means.

Soon, all light disappeared, and Lawrence emitted a faint blue light. A palm-sized scroll of parchment and the sacred emblem of knowledge that formed it flashed past his head. Afterwards, the breath on Lawrence's body felt much smoother than before.

"This is—God's Fate." Priest Julius Scepter was the first to wake up after absorbing the blessing of the God of Knowledge, just in time to see the phantom of the Holy Emblem emerging from Lawrence's head.

Of course, Lawrence didn't know this. He now feels that a lot of knowledge has been poured into his brain. Although these knowledge are some general knowledge related to He Chaofan, it takes a lot of time to learn under normal circumstances.

For example, the supernatural language Guradnim, which is common in the western part of the old continent, the ancient Nilotic language commonly used in the ancient civilization of Yanzhou, and other common languages ​​related to superhumanity, as well as the languages ​​of intelligent creatures such as elven language, dwarf language, and murloc language . There are also some common methods of using magic props, magic rituals, etc. Of course, all of this knowledge is not the kind of profound knowledge that knowledge itself contains power.

It can be said that because the God of Knowledge emphasizes that knowledge is power, the reward for Lawrence is to leave traces in his subconscious mind with the amount of general extraordinary knowledge obtained by instilling the amount of general extraordinary knowledge obtained by instilling about ten extraordinary scholars with the status of ordinary people. Used to strengthen his brain and improve his learning ability at the same time. So that he can go more smoothly on the road of pursuing knowledge in the future.

In other words, this is a means of improving intelligence, but as a blessing from the gods that cannot be withdrawn, its effect must be much worse than direct infusion. Surprisingly, Lawrence's Bai Ze bloodline was activated at this time.

The phantom of Bai Ze in his mind directly met the light and absorbed it all. In this process, all the knowledge was not only retained clearly, but Bai Ze's bloodline was also strengthened after absorbing a large amount of effective knowledge. Not only that, Lawrence could feel that his strength had also been strengthened.

In addition to this intelligence enhancement, the gift of the God of Knowledge also gave him some new abilities. Finally, the light on the statue disappeared, the will of the gods left the hall, and the entire blessing ceremony ended.
