Tome of Blood

Nice also looked at the cover of the book.

For a moment, everyone and the cat were silent.

It wasn't until Charlotte looked at Ness with a dirty look that Ness coughed dryly and shouted quickly:

"Misunderstanding... misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Lady Charlotte, this is just a name I randomly gave to cover up my academic research! I'm not a pervert! I really am not a pervert! Please believe me!"

Charlotte had a look of disbelief on her face.

She casually opened the "Magic Book" and glanced at it briefly, then... the look she looked at Nice was more like looking at a piece of garbage:

"Nice, from today on, you are not allowed to come within three meters of me without my permission."

Nice:…

"Misunderstanding! What a misunderstanding! Oh no, maybe I do have some personal interest, but this book is really just for disguise! If you don't believe it... If you don't believe it, you can enter the magic again and you will definitely see something different. of!"

Nice continued to argue.

Enter magic?

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

She picked up the "Magic Book" again and tried to input some magic power into it, and then... the words on the "Magic Book" changed again.

What changed this time was the content page.

Charlotte discovered that the content that would have kept creators there for several years had changed one after another, with all the text and pictures changed.

And what it describes has changed from the appreciation of various races to the popular science of gods, gossip, and research on the nature of divine power and belief.

Including the moon goddess Artemis, the beauty goddess Aphras, and some well-known or unknown minor goddesses.

Especially the goddess of beauty, Avros.

In the book, much of Nice's research revolves around this little goddess, who seems to have "cooperated" with Nice in conducting quite a few experiments.

etc……

Little...goddess?

Charlotte quickly discovered similarities in the various accompanying pictures.

She looked down at herself, and then at Nice, whose eyes were wandering.

For a moment, one person and one cat were silent again.

"Nice."

"Uh...huh?"

"From today on, you are not allowed to come within ten meters of me without my permission."

"..."

Under Charlotte's gaze, which was like looking at incombustible garbage, Nice hid in a corner dejectedly, lowering his sense of presence.

Charlotte continued to look through this "magic book" that was "full of flavor".

It must be admitted that although the content in the book has a bit of a flavor of criminal law, the hidden parts about the gods made Charlotte think deeply.

In this book, Ness's research into the power of the gods is obviously deep and... the views are profane.

It records many views that Nice has never said in front of Charlotte, as well as some residents and gods in Miria. It is definitely a blasphemous experiment that will be burned on the rack.

Different from the recognized creation of the world by gods in Miria, Nice believes that gods and even supernatural powers do not actually belong to Miria, but are outsiders, intruders who change the world of Miria.

Not only that, Nice also believes that magic, source power, spiritual power and even divine power are all different manifestations of one kind of power in the final analysis.

From its point of view, this kind of power has extremely strong permeability and assimilation, and can be integrated and transformed with the materials of the real world. The final form of expression is magic and magic.

And this... is also the origin of Nice's theory that "gods" are parasites.

In addition, the "Magic Book" also discusses the "laws" in detail.

In Nice's view, the "proficiency" of the integration and transformation of different forces is what the gods call "laws".

And when this "proficiency" is high enough, some kind of "original substance" in an intermediate state between various powers will be formed.

This "primordial substance" takes on the form of a flame, but it is not a real flame. It is a "divine fire". When the divine fire goes one step further, it will promote a certain organ specially used for power transformation, which is the "godhead". .

After browsing the contents of the magic book, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

To be honest, it was not that she had never heard similar views from Nice before, but this was the first time she had seen such a detailed discussion.

Especially the law part almost subverted Charlotte's understanding of divine power.

She also knew why Nice didn't say it before. In fact, the things he wrote in the book were more "shocking" than what he usually said.

However, taking Charlotte herself as an example, combined with her daily use of divine power, she felt that what was written on it made some sense.

Even some of the questions that she usually couldn't figure out seemed to suddenly become clearer.

I have to say that Nice is indeed a genius when it comes to "magic".

If its research is truly true, then the boundary between the supernatural and the divine will be almost completely broken.

And for Charlotte, a demigod who had become a monk on the way, this even pointed out the direction for her to condense her godhead.

This is outrageous.

Charlotte had been trying to find ways to enhance her divine power and condense her divine personality through various methods, and she actually got the answer from this note in Nice.

Of course, that assumes that Nice’s research is correct.

In fact, even Nice itself is not 100% confident in its own research, and has used words such as "guess" and "speculation" many times in the "Magic Book".

Thinking of this, Charlotte had a rather strange idea.

Rather than searching for the classics left by various gods to explore how the gods grew, perhaps... she could get more effective information from Nice.

This is indeed dark under the lamp again.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but said:

"Nice, how much do you know about gods? Why didn't you mention that you had done this research before?"

Nice didn't answer.

Charlotte looked up and saw this guy huddled in a corner of the palace thousands of miles away from her... pretending to be dead.

Charlotte:…

"Why are you traveling so far?"

"Um...Ms. Charlotte, didn't you tell me to get out of ten meters away?"

Charlotte:…

"Get back here."

"good……"

So, Nice rolled over again smoothly.

Charlotte:…

She looked at the other party angrily and funny, and then straightened her expression:

"Tell me and answer my questions."

Nice's face turned bitter:

"This...Ms. Charlotte, even if you don't ask, I wouldn't dare to say such blasphemous things! This is much more shocking than saying that all gods are parasites! What's more, shouldn't you be better than me? Do you know more about these things? Moreover, my research... also has some unexplainable flaws."

Charlotte paused and said:

"My use of divine power is indeed somewhat similar to your research, but... I have never seen similar views. Your research... makes me very curious."

After saying that, Charlotte looked at Nice again and said curiously:

"Nice, since you have studied gods so deeply, haven't you ever thought about becoming a god yourself?"

Nice sighed:

"If I hadn't tried, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Um?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

Nice has always avoided talking about how he turned into a black cat, but now...perhaps because the secrets are exposed one after another, or perhaps because Charlotte's "recovery" power is getting stronger and stronger, this guy seems to be finally willing Relented.

Charlotte looked Nice up and down and said:

"You mean, what you look like now is the result of your failed attempt to become a god?"

Nice answered honestly:

"That's probably...half of the reason. I did try to use my own research results to become a god, but...it failed."

"Theoretically, there shouldn't be any big problems with my research direction, but it seems to be missing the most critical step. When transforming power, I found that things that gods can easily do, I can't do under the same conditions. Can't do it."

"It's like I need to open a door. I got the same key as the gods. The gods can open it, but I am limited by some unknown qualifications... I can't open it."

"I should have overlooked something, overlooked something, and this thing determines that I cannot become a god by my own strength."

Some unknown qualification?

Charlotte mused.

This reminded her of those mortals who were lucky enough to become gods in the history and legends of Miria.

From ancient times to the present, except for those "born" gods, those mortals who became gods seem to have not become gods by their own strength, but have inherited the "legacies" of other gods.

Even Charlotte inherited the "Blood Scripture".

So...does one really need some kind of qualification to become a god?

Of course, even if there was any qualification, Charlotte should have obtained it by now.

However, what worries her is that if it is true that becoming a god requires "qualifications" as Nice said...then what is the nature of this "qualification"?

Since it is "qualification", then what is the "evaluation" of this "qualification"?

Charlotte couldn't figure it out.

However, this is not what she needs to consider now.

She just kept it in mind and kept it in mind.

"So... what is the other half of the reason for your failure?"

Charlotte looked at Nice again and asked.

Nice's eyes suddenly became wandering again.

"Um?"

Charlotte raised her voice.

Nice swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly:

"Another... another reason... another reason... probably because the God of Contract and the God of Beauty were jointly pursuing him, so I had to hide in this cat container in advance."

Charlotte:…

Thinking of the magical arts that this girl was good at and the various experiments in the "magic book" that required the "cooperation" of the gods, she could roughly guess the reason why this guy was being hunted.

Charlotte was about to make a joke, but suddenly on a whim, she heard the prayers and calls from behind.

That voice belonged to Sebastian.

With a thought in her mind, she realized that it was the meeting with the Grand Duke of the North, and there should be some details.
