Chapter 23 Strange Rules
A few days later, in the middle of the night.
Money Brothers Tavern, underground wine cellar.
The basement, which was originally filled with wooden wine barrels, was temporarily cleaned up by Rena, freeing up enough space for the ceremony, but the air was still filled with an intoxicating aroma of wine.
Peter, who walked in from the back door carrying a suitcase, was a little dizzy from the smoke and tried hard to shake his head to wake himself up a little.
"The God of Knowledge is really generous. If any other god dared to practice magic on such an occasion, it would be considered blasphemy."
Looking at the surrounding environment, Peter couldn't help but uttered something.
Reina was also a little worried: "Is this really no problem in this environment?"
"It should be no problem. I just tried meditating to ask the God of Knowledge, and He didn't express any problem."
Reina has seen deacons of various churches use divine magic in the past, but all of them were formal occasions. The whole process must be serious and every step must be meticulous.
But what about their current configuration?
The site was temporarily vacated by the wine cellar. The wine barrels were not even moved out, but were just stacked against the wall;
There is almost no lighting. There is a small skylight in the southeast corner of the basement, but it is close to midnight. The moonlight cannot illuminate much of the space through the skylight. Most of it depends on the few lights Lena brought from upstairs. A candle serves as temporary lighting.
The faint firelight was swaying, and the magic circle temporarily painted with blue magic paint was emitting a mysterious light under the refraction of the light. Coupled with the quiet atmosphere around it, and the two people who met mysteriously...
A magical ritual that doesn’t know what specific effects it will have…
Trying to find the unknown powerful power...
Pat always felt that this scene was strangely familiar.
Recall carefully.
Isn't this exactly the same as those crazy men in black robes in the cave!
With the psychological shadow of his previous experience, Peter always felt inexplicably a little resistant to similar scenes.
"Don't panic, don't panic. The God of Knowledge is not an evil god. Evil gods are all crazy gods without reason. The God of Knowledge is rational. The conditions are limited right now, so the ceremony site looks a bit weird!"
"For such a powerful god as the God of Knowledge, as long as it takes a little more time, many people will definitely be willing to believe in it. Once there are more believers, we should be on the right track!"
Encouraging himself, Peter took out the things he had brought and placed them in the corresponding locations according to the information provided by the God of Knowledge.
"Get ready, the ceremony will begin later!"
"As long as you can succeed, it means there is no problem with this hand-rubbing ritual system, and we can make a lot of money in the underground black market in Greenport!"
"When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether Dursley is polite or not, it won't be a problem at all!"
…
While waiting for the ritual materials to be gathered for a few days, Peter and Lena were not idle. They made several attempts and discovered some rules that the God of Knowledge did not explicitly tell them, but did exist:
Peter tried to share the related spellcasting methods of the [Arcane Missile] spell taught to him by Norwin through writing, dictation, etc. at Caron College, but all these attempts failed.
When Pat tries to share relevant knowledge, he seems to disappear from the world, and people around him will automatically ignore his existence;
The knowledge recorded on the carrier will also become a mess with writing. Disorderly doodles.
It was obvious that the method was in his mind, and Peter even memorized all the knowledge about [Arcane Missile] from mobilizing the magic network to calculating the specific spell model;
Peter even suspected that even if he abandoned his faith in the God of Knowledge at this time, he should still be able to complete the spell casting with the memories in his mind, but he just couldn't share it with others. Including the knowledge about professional talent detection rituals, Reina also tried to share it with Peter, but the result was the same failure.
This forced Petr to use the 5 knowledge points he obtained from completing the mission "My Lord's Truth Enlightens the Earth" to exchange for the same knowledge from the God of Knowledge.
As for whether the memory is still there after abandoning the letter, and whether it can be shared, because the price of abandoning the letter is too high, Peter did not dare to try.
Reina, on the other hand, has discovered some ways to steadily obtain knowledge points.
By praying seriously every day, she can get 1 knowledge point. This was discovered first. After all, she also prays to the God of Radiance every day, but now there is just another god.
The intelligent races on the continent of Prentice are generally believers in polytheism. It is very common to worship one god and then another.
In addition, Lena also discovered a special way to obtain knowledge points:
When she cleaned the house carefully as usual in her tavern, a prompt was triggered:
[Complete the task: Labor (daily) (repeatable)]
[You have gained 1 knowledge point]
Reina told Pete about this, and after trying it, Pete further confirmed this method.
When Pett conducted a serious meditation, prayed to the goddess of magic, and strengthened his connection with the magic network, he also triggered a similar prompt:
[Complete the task: Meditation (daily) (repeatable)]
[You have gained 1 knowledge point]
However, when Peter cleaned up like Lena, he did not trigger the corresponding prompt.
Peter initially guessed that this might have something to do with their different identities.
Reina is still just an ordinary person, while Peter is already a mage professional.
They have to complete things consistent with their status in order to gain knowledge points.
…
Nuowen in the Kingdom of God is also very interested in these rules that were explored by the two believers.
When he traveled through time, apart from being aware of his identity as a god, he seemed to have lost his memory. He knew nothing about his functional authority or the method of acquiring faith. He only relied on touching believers to cross the river. You need to observe, analyze and summarize bit by bit.
For example, when Reina was cleaning the house, Noven felt that the power of faith was emerging from Reina, and it was transformed into his divine power bit by bit.
Although the causal relationship between the two is not clear yet, since believers doing this can bring more divine power to Novan, Novan will not hesitate to give feedback.
Giving knowledge points will encourage believers to do more things that will allow Novin to gain more divine power.
In addition, Noven was originally a little worried. He directly taught the knowledge of spell casting, and there might be a possibility of BUG being stuck by his followers.
As long as one believer obtains knowledge by praying to him, he can theoretically share it with others. After all, these spell-related knowledge does not involve his divine power in the entire spell casting process, and Norwin does not seem to be a necessary option.
As a result, judging from the situation encountered by believer Pet, Noven found that things did not seem to be that simple.
Although there is no divine power involved in helping believers complete spellcasting, the knowledge that Novan has gained through the authority of the priesthood seems to have a deeper binding relationship when it is passed on to mortals.
It's as if... there is an identification code that can retrieve the status of believers anytime and anywhere. Only believers who have given permission from Novan can possess, remember and understand this knowledge!
