Chapter 478 The evil forces in Stone Castle
are coming.
The irrefutable truth.
If you tell the dwarf directly, I will give you a chance to master the magic.
They don’t believe it and won’t try it at all.
But when Norwin's oracle was poured directly into his mind, and Lancelot was there to guide him, some dwarves began to waver.
Anyway, it has been watched and even blessed by a god.
The original bottom line has been broken, so we have no choice but to set a lower bottom line.
For example, try a little bit of the divine guidance mentioned by Lancelot.
Not long after, a dwarf exclaimed.
"Gunil's big beard! It really works! The symbol of the Brown Mu family's bloodline, the powerful thorn craft, I seem to... know a little bit about it!"
This dwarf is obviously very talented. , the progress of learning and trying is very fast.
Although it takes a process from learning to mastering a magical skill.
But still the same sentence.
Seeing the "progress bar" is an incentive in itself.
I practiced 10% today and another 7% tomorrow. Sooner or later, I will be able to successfully release the magic that proves my bloodline!
Being able to master the iconic magic of one’s ancestor’s family has had a huge impact on the dwarves’ outlook on life.
Because this breaks their previous understanding of the world.
Obtaining the blessing of casting magic no longer depends on one’s bloodline?
If they wait until they discover that not only the magical arts of their ancestors, but also the iconic magical arts of other dwarf families can be learned with almost "impediment", they will definitely be even more shocked.
Fortunately, Lancelot had prepared a reason in advance.
This explanation was not created by Lancelot, but was compiled by Novin's followers and spread within the church.
Yes.
Noven didn’t expect that the believers would take the initiative to come up with a decent and self-justifying explanation for this part of his “authority”:
“Being able to stand under the Lord’s authority” It's normal to master the corresponding magic under the guidance of others." Lancelot explained calmly: "Because this is your potential."
"The potential is the ancestral power in your bloodline. Every dwarf has it, but you have not found a suitable way to activate it."
"The great God of Knowledge, He did not directly give you power, but It’s through giving guidance that you can find your own potential.”
“This is your qualification.”
This explanation is invincible and simply rogue.
The words can be applied to any race!
For dwarves, that is the so-called "potential in the blood."
For humans, that is "the affinity of gods".
The translated meaning is - you are already qualified to receive the blessing of the corresponding god, but this qualification is locked and cannot be opened.
The guidance of the God of Knowledge gives you a key to find your own qualifications.
The power of hooliganism lies in the fact that it cannot be falsified.
No divine church dares to directly say that those mortals who hope to receive blessings are not qualified.
That is equivalent to a clear expression of "rejection".
It’s completely useless.
No church dares to do this.
In the past, although everyone knew and acquiesced, blessings were not available to everyone.
But in my heart, I will always deceive myself and think:
"What if one day I can meet the qualifications and have the gift of God?"
Faith is a kind of spiritual sustenance.
The believers of Novin used this sustenance to complete the logical closed loop!
“Want a gift? Simple! Trust the God of Knowledge, and He will help you obtain that qualification!”
...
With Lancelot's missionary success by accident. Other believers got it too.
The deception and abduction are all over!
The fourth-floor circular platform of Stone Castle was originally the floor with the largest population.
During the Wine Festival, the security of Stone Castle was obviously a little overwhelmed. The dwarves were all having a carnival, and the limited manpower simply could not manage so many things.
In most cases they just let it go.
Anyway, the dwarves are strong-skinned. As long as they don’t fall into the lava lake after being drunk, other things are basically unimportant.
When cultists really sneak in, they will become vigilant and organize manpower to investigate and hunt.
As for Novin’s followers…are they considered cultists?
As calculated.
After they let themselves go, they quickly formed an emerging hidden evil force on the fourth floor of the stone castle.
The tavern has become a high-incidence area for believers seeking knowledge to commit crimes.
It's all about trapping, cheating, and deception.
Find ways to get closer and establish friendship, then find any pretense and reason to induce them to take the initiative to say prayers directed to Novan!
The faith connection is successfully established!
Whether you want it or not, you are already on this pirate ship!
Although this operation looks like an authentic cultist.
But which cultist will preach openly and openly in public?
Although cultists are crazy, they are not stupid.
Whether they preach or offer sacrifices, they all have goals.
Except for being so crazy that they are almost the same as monsters.
Most of the cultists who still retain their "sanity" for the time being are preaching either to find like-minded lunatics, or to develop followers of the evil god they believe in who carry his divine power.
No matter which target they choose, they will choose a private and hidden place.
In this way, even if the other party discovers a problem or regrets it, they will not be able to escape. They can either silence you or force-feed them. Anyway, it is easy to deal with it.
Preaching in a tavern is as risky as seeking death, and no cultist would do that.
The followers of Novin dare.
Not only do they dare to proselytize blatantly, their scale is like spreading virally, and their growth rate is astonishingly fast.
Because they don’t deceive people like cultists.
On the contrary - they are clearly spreading the gospel of Novan, the god of knowledge!
...
The first dwarves to receive blessings through Lancelot, some people have actually experienced the feeling of casting the corresponding divine spell at once.
It’s better not to try.
Once you try it, you can never go back.
The dwarf was horrified to find that after using the forging magic he had just mastered, the god of knowledge who had previously responded to him at any time ignored him!
The blessing is gone!
The knowledge related to divine arts that I just mastered...forgot!
To be precise, he clearly remembers the experience of successfully casting divine spells for blessing when forging equipment.
But the knowledge about the process of learning and casting magical spells was like being locked up. No matter how he recalled it, he could not remember a single bit.
What is more painful than losing is the disappearance of something you once had.
Want to get these lost things back.
The only way is to truly take the initiative to pray to the God of Knowledge and offer your faith.
The option to return to the past life trajectory;
The option to return to the family for real and change your destiny.
Even the old and stubborn dwarves.
If he can really be allowed to return to the family, the once firm belief in the Three Gods will also be shaken in the face of such a choice!

There is another update tonight, I have some things to deal with at the moment~
The last update may be later, probably around 0 o'clock
