"This is the Palace of Knowledge, this is the Gate of Truth, and behind it is the statue of the God of Knowledge. I never understood why the expression of the statue was so fascinating. It turns out that it is realistic. You look like this. I feel like it at a glance.
I'm familiar with it, so I just asked casually. I didn't expect it to actually trigger the murmur of truth. It's not the first time I've called your god's name, so why don't you respond to me? Do you dare to agree to calling your name face to face?"
Aubengli led the way, chattering endlessly, and one could hear the resentment in her tone.
However, Nigris was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Obenli's resentment. It stared at this well-preserved palace of knowledge with its mouth open, looking like it was about to cry.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that the main plane actually has a temple belonging to it. Oh my God, its believers have not forgotten it.
"Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten you, but you are all dead. This temple was built by my teacher with great luck and painstaking efforts. Unfortunately, it is of no use. No matter how much I pray, I can't get an answer from God. Everyone thinks
You died, so you went to work on other things. I only come here to clean it every few decades, which can be considered as a memory of the teacher."
As Obenli explained along the way, Nigris finally understood what was going on.
Obenli's teacher is a fanatic believer in the God of Knowledge, but this believer was born more than 900 years ago. At that time, Negris had been sealed and could not respond to the call of the believer. The reason was because of a knight's novel.
When Aubengli's teacher was young, he read a knight's novel in which there was a brief description of the God of Knowledge. He said that if you pray to the God of Knowledge during an exam, you may be protected by the God of Knowledge and you will definitely pass every exam.
At that time, Obanli's teacher happened to be facing the most important exam in his life, which would determine whether he could be promoted to an intermediate mage and receive three times the intermediate mage's allowance. So, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor,
He prayed to the God of Knowledge.
Because Nigris was sealed, he naturally could not answer the prayers of believers, so it was natural that Obenli's teacher failed the test.
However, he didn't think it was Negris' fault at the time. Instead, he thought it was because he was not pious enough. After all, he only prayed a few times before the exam, which was not pious at all, so he could not get a response from the God of Knowledge.
Since then, Obanli's teachers have begun to pay attention to the news about the God of Knowledge. In addition to being sure to pass every exam, there are also practical skills such as whispering of truth, aura of enlightenment, being energetic, staying up late and not bald, etc., which are simply for the purpose of spreading knowledge.
A born god.
If you can get the protection of the God of Knowledge, it will definitely not be a problem for you to pass the intermediate level in three years, pass the advanced level in five years, and become a great magician in ten years.
Sometimes, once a person has an obsession, all things that conflict with the obsession will be subconsciously ignored. From then on, whenever Obanli's teacher fails in the exam, he will think that he has not received the protection of the God of Knowledge, and he has nothing to do with himself.
It doesn’t matter if you have qualifications, it doesn’t matter if you go out to play before the exam and don’t review.
As for why I couldn't get a response from the God of Knowledge? It must be because I was not pious enough, so I became more and more determined to believe in the God of Knowledge, and gradually became fanatical.
When he heard this, Nigris almost vomited blood and died. Is it because he responded too diligently that he didn't have any fanatic followers?
All requests are answered, so believers lose their respect. It is too easy to get, so they don’t cherish it too much?
Instead, he ignored him like this, but because he couldn't get what he asked for, he got into trouble and became more and more obsessed, so he became fanatical?
Once a person has obsession, he will be motivated to do anything. Obanli's teacher qualifications are mediocre, but his obsession makes him work hard and gradually grow into a high-level magician.
Originally, according to the Magician's Guild's evaluation of him, he would have stopped at the level of an intermediate magician. Now that he has broken through to the advanced level, it is an unexpected surprise.
Isn't this the protection of the God of Knowledge?
Well, without Nigris's complete knowledge, the believer completed a divine favor on his own, and since then, Obanli's teacher has become more and more fanatical.
In order to spread the belief in the God of Knowledge, Obenli's teacher found out that at the end of the desert, facing the sea on three sides, there was a peninsula where some desperate non-human species lived, calling themselves the Land of the Stars.
Obenli's teacher traveled a long way here, intending to spread the belief in the God of Knowledge among these people. Because he believed in the God of Knowledge, he sketched out a psychological portrait of Negris from various classics and legends, and also became infected with the disease.
Because of Nigris' tendency to be a teacher, he often pointed out the creatures gathered there.
So slowly, some people learned magic from him, and Oban Li was one of them.
Some people have mediocre qualifications, but their teaching skills are outstanding. Especially because they believe in the God of Knowledge, they have created many teaching methods in response to Negris' skills.
For example, he improved the murmuring of truth into repeated utterances, which he repeated in front of his students every day until they mastered it.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or what, but I taught a lot of outstanding students.
In addition to teaching, Obanli's teachers also built a palace of knowledge, trying to make students believe in the god of knowledge.
It had a certain effect at the beginning, but with his death, everyone gradually gave up their faith. After all, not everyone is going to get into trouble. They prayed several times without getting any response, or even dozens of times without getting any response. If they prayed again later, there would be no response.
It's just a show.
With the death of Aubengli's teacher, the palace of knowledge became more and more deserted. As the students he taught personally also passed away one by one, in the end, no one came.
Only Aubenli still remembers this place, occasionally coming to clean it and remembering the teacher's voice and appearance. A flame ignited by a fanatical believer has just disappeared.
After Obanli's teacher passed away, the students he taught did not disperse. During that time, the Church of Light frantically persecuted various heretics and heretics. Many people fled here, inheriting the teacher's habit of being a teacher. As long as
If you are willing to learn, Aubengli and her senior students will be happy to teach.
Gradually, there were more and more magicians here, and some people suggested building a magician tower.
As a result, a simple mage tower was built, and it was continuously renovated and expanded over the next hundred years, and was finally renamed the Star Mage Tower.
It was a really difficult time, and the most difficult one was Oban Rei. She was the only immortal creature among all the students. After her seniors and disciples died one after another, she had to be responsible for teaching their students.
As the size of the Mage Tower grew larger and larger, outstanding students emerged one after another, and the Mage of Truth was born, which led to its growing reputation and even became a holy place that all mages in the entire plane aspired to.
After repelling several expeditions by the church and forcing them to sit at the negotiating table, the top management of the Star Mage Tower felt that it was better not to found a country, because their current scale and strength were no longer a purely teaching model like the Mage Tower.
Can be organized.
As a result, the Republic of Stars was established naturally.
It took a total of three hundred and twenty-four years and seven or eight generations of efforts from the arrival of Oban Li's teacher here to the establishment of the Republic of Stars to finally make the stars shine at the end of this land.
After listening to Obanli's rumblings about history, and looking at the smiling brass dragon sculpture at the end of the hall, Nigris felt mixed emotions and unbearable bitterness.
What does this feel like? It feels like a goblin guild lottery. I won the third prize, and the person next to me borrowed my own money to draw the special prize.
What does it mean that one's followers are better than oneself? This kind of strength is not achieved by its pointing, but by others' messing around. There is nothing wrong with Nigris in the whole process, but the achievements are more than
It makes it even higher on its own.
What kind of thing is this? When I was working hard and responding to requests, I didn’t even have a fanatic believer. I was locked up and didn’t know anything, but suddenly a fanatic believer appeared, not only trained a bunch of students, but also built a building for it.
temple.
Doesn't this mean that everything it has done before is useless and has counter-effects, and the right thing to do is to let it go?
"But God of Knowledge, how did you become like this? If you didn't respond to calling your god's name, I wouldn't believe it. How did you become so thin?" Aubenli flicked his fingers, and flames floated.
Go and light the oil lamps inside the temple so that the temple is brightly lit.
"Alas, it's hard to describe. I was sealed at that time and couldn't respond to your call at all." Nigris said.
"So that's it. My teacher still firmly believes that his own beliefs are not pious enough, so you don't respond to him. Because judging from the classics he collected, you are the most unassuming god. You will respond to every request, except for exams.
"Aubenli suddenly said.
"I won't help you cheat. I am the God of Knowledge, not the God of Cheating." Nigris scratched his nose and said awkwardly.
It’s embarrassing because in the past, the time when believers prayed the most was during exams. When these guys weren’t taking exams, they would never think of the God of Knowledge.
"By the way, I still don't know, what is your teacher's name?" Nigris asked.
"I don't know the teacher's name either, but we all call him Hongxing." Aubengli said.
"Red star?" Nigris murmured. As soon as the name came out, Nigris suddenly felt that the entire temple lit up, and some dots of things gathered towards it, converging into a red star in front of it.
This star point cannot be seen by Aubenli. Only Ange and Nigris can see it. Obviously, this is a power of faith. Nigris casually grabbed the red star in his hand and prepared to go back and try again.
Research.
After turning around and leaving, flying more than ten meters, Nigris suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked: "Aubenli, are you my believer?"
Aubengli smiled apologetically: "I no longer believe in any gods. I have come into contact with the mystery of truth. I am the God of Truth."
The reason why Masters of Truth can be called Dharma Gods means that to a certain extent, they already possess strength that is not inferior to that of gods, have a certain understanding of the mysteries of the world, and generally know what 'gods' are.
How could they wholeheartedly believe in a weak god who may not be as powerful as them?
"I knew it would be like this. When you pronounce my god's name, I can't even receive any feedback of knowledge. Since you are not my believer, it's easy to deal with your student's bill, because you
They have missed the bill, please pay it for them." Nigris took out a long roll of bills, and the sheepskin used for accounting was so long that it hung to the ground.
"What did you spend? So much? Let me see." Oban Li has taught many students over the past few hundred years. She helps students pay their bills from time to time, so she takes over the bill very skillfully.
one.
But when she reached the end of the bill and saw the total, she couldn't help shouting: "What is so expensive!? Are you trying to steal money!?"
Nigris showed the familiar smiling expression again: "It's much faster than robbing money, but the pricing is like this, and your students have been clearly informed of the price. They all agreed to the price. There is absolutely no fraud.
.”
"I don't believe anything in the world is so expensive. Did they buy artifacts and magic ornaments? Let me take a closer look. If there is one thing you charge excessively, I will tear down your place." Aubengli said angrily.
arrive.
"Clean up the face, rejuvenate the skin, whiten teeth, and grow hair? Strengthen the kidneys before taking care of your health... What is this? How dare you charge so much for this kind of magic that tinkers with on a living body! I want to dismantle it..." Auburn
Li scolded angrily.
Before he finished speaking, Nigris added: "Liches can also use it."
Aubengli was stunned. She looked at Negris and then at the service names listed above. After a long while, she rubbed the bill and said, "I'll verify it with them first. If it's all voluntary,
For consumption, Qunxing will not default on the bill, I will take the bill first."
That night, Obanli, wearing a cloak, quietly came to Meishen City and verified the above projects one by one.
…
Riding the Bone Dragon, he flew from the Republic of Stars to the City of Beauty. Along the way, Nigris looked at the shining red star and sighed.
Unexpectedly, the Republic of Stars has such a big connection with it, and was actually established by its fanatical believers. Unfortunately, it cannot sense anything in the seal, causing the divine fire to go out, and the stars have nothing to do with it anymore.
.
Alas, it's a good thing that I can't feel it. Otherwise, people might lose their fans and they wouldn't continue to believe in it fanatically.
Now I have some spare red stars, but I don’t know what I can do with them.
Ange tilted his head. He didn't speak during the whole journey, but Ange heard everything they talked about. Seeing its melancholy look, Ange asked curiously: "Do you want to rebuild your faith?"
Ange's words made Nigris stunned for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't want to at all. I understand now that I am not suitable to be a god at all. I can't even use it in a knight novel."
The effect is greater than mine."
"Actually, looking back, I've always just liked to point fingers at others. I didn't want to be a god. It's good to be like this now. I just feel that it's a pity that I have never had a fanatic believer. Now there is such a powerful one.
A fanatic, but I didn’t even have a chance to respond to him. It’s a pity and I don’t know what I can do for him.”
Ange tilted his head and reached out to point at the red star.
In an instant, the red star shines brightly, and a firm belief spreads from the red star: the gods have fallen, the stars are dim, the red star is shining... Wearing armor and robes, heroic spirits protect their hometown...
