Chapter 286 Listen to me and thank you
Illusion magic, a magic that relies on the strange magic material [Illusion Debris] to be successfully cast.
After hearing Sepp's statement, Pet was startled.
"You mean...the source of this material is that artifact?"
"A gift from the gods to you?"
"Yes," Thrap admitted firmly.
"Three months ago, in early June, the number of [Illusion Debris] given to us by the artifact became less and less. At that time, we tried to find other sources of it."
"It turns out, no."
"There is no such thing on the entire continent, and the goblin who helped us purchase it asked us where we found it."
"Although they didn't know the specific function of [Illusion Debris] at that time, the goblins felt that since it was a magic material and rare enough, it would definitely have corresponding effects."
Goblin Hugo nodded in agreement.
The racial bloodline is triggered and belongs to yes.
"Then why is there a problem with it?" Peter continued to ask.
A wry smile appeared on Sepp's tired face: "Maybe it's because... the goddess's power is weakening."
"When the Church of Illusion was not expelled, as the number of believers in Ceylon Territory increased, the amount of [Illusion Shards] given to us by the artifact was much greater than it is now."
"As the size of the church has shrunk in recent years, although there are fewer and fewer members, and the number of [phantom fragments] brought by the artifacts has also decreased, it can still match the number of believers."
"Now the Church of Illusion still has 31 members, but the [Illusion Debris] has begun to become less and less!"
Sepp thought for a while and said very calmly: "[Illusion Crumbs] are in urgent need of believers of the Goddess of Illusion."
The loyal believers who are still in the church may not believe in the goddess devoutly, but they must be in great need of the magic of illusion.
Because the purpose of using magic is not to fight, but to keep "that illusion" with them.
There are only 31 believers left in the church.
The remaining 30 people are either single or widowed.
Although believers of the Goddess of Illusion use divine magic, their cognition will not be affected or tampered with.
But [Illusion Debris] itself has a magical effect.
In addition to being used as a material for performing magical spells, it can also be used directly with spiritual power.
For people other than followers of the Illusion Goddess, it has the effect of being immune to the effects of divine magic for a period of time after use.
Believers of the goddess will also have their perceptions tampered with after using it.
In this way, they can have the company of "phantoms".
…
Peter thought for a moment: "The question is, what can be changed by moving the church here? Can it increase the number of [Illusion Debris]?"
Sepp was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe."
"The beliefs we can offer to the goddess are very limited. If the power of the goddess of illusion can be spread to more people, it may be possible to restore the grandeur of the past."
"It doesn't matter even if we can't preach, because the reason we are forced to move is that the current [Illusion Debris] is no longer enough to maintain the Great Illusion."
After all the cards were put on display, Sepp simply made it clear:
"The real church of the Church of Illusion is also the place where artifacts are enshrined. It was originally located in the dark forest."
"That place has always been a large illusion that all of us built together to completely hide the entire church, and that's where we live now."
"The effect of illusion on cognition can also be effective on monsters."
"It just maintains the illusion of a small area. Under normal circumstances, the consumption of [Illusion Debris] will not be particularly large."
"Before the annual red tide of monsters arrives, we will save a batch of [Illusion Debris] in advance to have a group cognitive impact on the monsters passing nearby in those few days."
"But now, just maintaining the Great Illusion makes us unable to make ends meet, and there are fewer and fewer materials left in the church."
"If this continues, the church enshrining the artifact will soon lose its hiding effect, which will be a disaster for us."
Pat understood. If everything the other party described was true, then they really had no choice.
In the past, I could hide in the dark forest by using illusions to hide myself.
Now that there is not enough material, it is difficult to guarantee even one's own safety.
Not to mention that believers in the church also need to consume [Illusion Crumbs] every day to keep the "Illusion" by their side at all times.
"There is a question." Peter touched his chin and said tentatively: "If, I mean if."
"If you really use up all the illusion fragments, and the artifact no longer produces new ones, what will you do?"
Sepp was extremely determined: "There is no doubt that we will continue to stick to our faith in the Goddess of Illusion until the day comes when she will give us blessings through the artifact again!"
…
In the Kingdom of God.
Noven was a little worried.
"You can no longer use the magic given by the gods, but you are determined not to change your faith or abandon your faith. You are so pious!"
"Aren't these people from the Church of Illusion a little too stubborn?"
The reason why Nouwen expressed such emotion is:
When he received the "help" message from the Illusion Goddess, he originally thought that the other party had encountered some kind of trouble, such as being contaminated by an evil god, or not having enough followers, or running out of divine power.
Unexpectedly, the other party then sent Nuowen this message:
"Help, help!"
"It doesn't matter if I kill my followers directly, or I can force them to abandon their faith and change their faith!"
"In short, don't let them use illusion magic anymore!"
“It’s going to be over, it’s going to be over, it’s going to be over!”
"..."
When he first received the news, Nuowen was immediately silenced.
The first time he saw a god asking for help, he asked other gods for help in finding a way to kill his own followers.
There must be so much hatred and resentment.
"Why?"
After finally catching someone who could communicate normally, Nuowen couldn't let it go easily and decisively sent the information to the goddess of illusion.
At least let him understand the reason.
The other party's reply speed was still very fast, and the two parties communicated remotely.
"Why else!"
"I was short-handed, and I got a new magic for mortals... Bah, divine magic! I don't know where they found the blank core, and it really anchored me again!"
"Listen to me and thank you, mortals!"
"It's thanks to the bad luck of these unlucky mortals that they didn't develop and grow, otherwise I would have been doomed long ago."
"The problem is, the remaining guys are too pious. They haven't given up their faith yet, and they are still using illusion magic every day!"
"If I let them continue to use it like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive until next year and will be polluted by the void!"
"I don't want to become one of those void lunatics!"
…
It’s the fifth update. Oh my god, I’m so numb. This plot is so difficult to write! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Thank you for your monthly and recommended support, thank you very much!
