Chapter 301 Belief Predation Survival Law

Boom, boom, boom.

The knock on the door made Lei Luo, who was studying the radiation capital under the crystal lamp, raise his head and put away the azure essence the size of a pinhole.

"Please come in."

After the wooden door of the laboratory opened, it was Orn.

Behind him was an old man, who was the old priest of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom in the Red Ridge Village.

The old man's body was almost bent to the ground. He was leaning on a vine crutch and panting slightly.

"Lei Luo, the village priest wants to see you."

"Oh well."

Lei Luo stood up and nodded to Aoun, who turned and left.

"Haha, Lord Lord, we meet again."

As a servant of the goddess of wisdom, the old priest was filled with a touch of the majesty of divine law. As Lei Luo continued to grow, he became more and more sensitive to this kind of thing.

The power of a divine messenger does not come from oneself, but from God's favor.

Gods undoubtedly exist, but they are not omnipotent creators, they are just higher-level beings.

Lei Luo motioned to the old priest to sit down, with a calm smile on his face.

Things like gods are aloof, but their believers need to live. As long as they live, they need gold, silver, oil and salt, and they need to be threatened by secular forces. This is also the reason why the nobles are powerful.

There are many gods, and gold coins are enough to change the beliefs of many believers.

"Master Priest, why are you here late at night? Could it be... Haha, could it be that the great goddess of wisdom is paying attention to this developing town of mine?"

Lei Luo made a joke and was already paying attention.

If this old guy wants to build a church in a small town, it's not impossible, but he will definitely have to extort a lot of money, and funds are scarce right now.

"Haha, Lord, I'm joking. Actually, I came here this time to tell Lord something."

Under Lei Luo's gaze, the old priest said slowly: "There is no temple of the Goddess of Wisdom in the village at all. This is just a lie I made up."

"No temple?"

Lei Luo frowned.

"Indeed, it seems that the aura on your body is somewhat different from the auras of other envoys of the Goddess of Wisdom that I have seen."

He looked at the old priest and said in a low voice: "But the divine aura on your body cannot be deceived. That kind of majestic feeling from above. Even now, I can still feel some discomfort at close range. You should know , we magicians are very sensitive to this just like those creatures with ancient bloodline."

The old man didn't say much.

He took out an almost rotten copper bell from his arms.

From this strange copper bell, Lei Luo could clearly feel the faint divine aura.

"Hiss, this is it?"

Lei Luo's expression changed and he said, "Could it be that this is a divine weapon?"

The so-called artifact is different from the artifact in traditional understanding.

The existence of the artifact is equivalent to God splitting a part of the power of his own laws and giving it to the most trusted envoy to ensure that he has enough power to gain more followers for himself.

In more layman terms.

If the superior god is compared to the president of a chamber of commerce, then the believers who obtain the artifact are equivalent to buying shares in the chamber of commerce, and part of the future income will be given to these shareholders through the artifact.

From this point of view, the holy magic weapon, which also has similar benefits, is somewhat different.

in the Legends.

The four holy magic weapons are the Source of Power, Tears of Dawn, Wings of Eternal Night, and the Book of Death. If you master them, you will master the power of the law. This is the crystallization of the pinnacle of human alchemical wisdom and is endowed by the magic weapon itself. rather than lending it through some intermediary.

The Tears of Dawn are in the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Granland, and the source of power was lost in the catastrophe in Finland a year ago.

"Yes, this is an artifact."

He then said slowly: "However, this is not the artifact of the Goddess of Wisdom, but the artifact of an alien evil god in an unknown place deep underground, haha."

Under Lei Luo's gaze, the old man slowly began to tell the story of his youth.

"That was about three hundred years ago. Haha, I was just like you now, high-spirited, ignorant and fearless. Until one day, I came here and accidentally discovered the Redridge Ridge hidden underground. The ancient battlefield, I got this artifact and my last guardian."

"You said, more than three hundred years ago?"

Lei Luo stared at the old man closely.

A few sparse hairs, cloudy eyes in the crow's feet wrinkled eye sockets, a scar running through the bridge of the nose, thick chapped lips.

Everything about him is so ordinary.

Apart from the divine aura of the copper bell in his hand, I was not aware of any of his own power.

Sensing Lei Luo's astonishment, the old man sneered: "In order to live longer, I must seal my own power. Among you magicians, this seems to be a very common method."

Well……

Among scholars, there are indeed many people who rely on various means to extend their lifespan, and even the dehydration talent Lei Luo obtained from Xiaobai is one of them.

But those who can use this method are undoubtedly old monsters who stand at the pinnacle of academia.

Lei Luo doesn't know much about this level.

Maybe the level of contact is different.

This old guy should know a lot of old monsters!

"The place you excavated is just on the edge of the ancient battlefield. It's just that the geological changes caused by the volcanic eruption brought some remains. The real center of the battlefield is located in my village!"

Unexpectedly, he had already noticed the true intention of him and Nikla to mine sulfur ore and cuprite.

Lei Luo said: "Then why did you fabricate a lie about the envoy of the Temple of Wisdom? Pretending to be an envoy. Although the influence of the Temple of Wisdom in the principality is not as good as before, if those fanatic believers know about it, it will be nothing like you. benefit."

When the old man heard this, he sneered disdainfully and had no intention of responding to Lei Luo's question.

He said slowly: "Because I suffered a lot of injuries when I was young, I may not live too long... But before I die, I need a successor to complete the tasks I bear. Cunzhai Although I have trained several inheritors here, according to my observation, maybe you are more suitable for this mission."

"What mission?"

"Guard the peace of mankind!"

Ahem.

Lei Luo simply doubted his ears.

The old man smiled and said: "You think... the Land of Star Curtain is very powerful, right?"

Lei Luo smiled confidently and said: "At least, the blood-derived civilization cannot threaten the Land of Star Curtain in a short time. If there is a secret hidden under Crescent Moon Lake, it should be the filthy land of the devil's ancient world in the Great Ice Age, right? Hum, A weak civilization that cannot even defeat the Gulan Civilization also wants to threaten the Land of Star Curtain?"

Seeing that Lei Luo knew so much, the old man was speechless and smiled: "Since this civilization is so weak, tell me, why didn't the Holy See conquer it?"

Well?

Lei Luo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The old man sneered.

"Actually, thousands of years ago, the Holy See discovered this terrifying civilization hiding in the vast underground. Its power is probably far greater than that of humans, so it calls them devils! And the reason why they hide in The underground is nothing more than an escape from the catastrophic blows imposed by the belief predatory survival laws of this continent!"

Believe in the law of predatory survival?

A word Lei Luo had never heard before.

"What is the law of survival of faith predators?"

Lei Luo couldn't help asking.

"The so-called faith is simply a law of survival, because in this vast continent, with the disappearance of the main god and the dispersion of faith, countless true gods have destroyed other true gods in order to be promoted to the new main god. In this On this continent, believers are the power of the gods and the source of their survival. The most effective way to attack a god, in addition to overwhelming power, is to launch cataclysmic weapons to attack other true gods. Countless believers, carry out a devastating blow!"

Lei Luo stared at the old man.

The old man was very calm.

"Although I don't know how vast this continent is, there is no doubt that the terrifying civilizations in the center of the continent are engaged in a non-stop predatory war of faith. They want to compete for the most powerful civilization and unify the continent's faith. , and then open up an eye of the storm that encompasses the entire continent, establish a unified faith civilization, and give birth to the supreme god!"

"How do you know this?"

Lei Luo looked stiff and couldn't help but ask.

"Humph, because it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time in the competition between those advanced civilizations, and they are also afraid of other weak civilizations and mastering this kind of catastrophic weapon technology that can kill a large number of believers, so during the competition , they are also looking for new civilizations on the continent that may threaten them, and then use catastrophic weapons to attack them and return them to primitive pastoral areas, just like human beings will expedition to night civilization every once in a while, and will return to the original countryside along the way. Destroy all lower civilizations that may threaten us in the future!"

"It was precisely because the ancient demons in the underground witnessed the former owner of the Land of Night being easily crushed and destroyed by a powerful civilization that they thought of continuing the inheritance by hiding underground, and luckily avoided that catastrophe. A devastating blow. Fortunately, we humans live in the most fringe, most desolate, and barren place on this continent, and everything outside is cut off by the Land of Night."

Lei Luo took a deep breath.

"Since under that powerful civilization, we humans and the dirty civilization are just bugs, what do you mean by protecting human peace?"

"The destruction of a civilization is very simple. It only requires parallel races to reveal the coordinates of their eye to a higher civilization. Although this is equivalent to self-destruction, we must prevent their possible self-destruction in advance. "

The old man said slowly: "Are you interested in joining the Guardians?"
