498 Prototypes of Magic (2/2)
Lucien smiled. ”Something is wrong with Ell. We have to investigate it in case of any accident. Also, it is exactly because I have put on the ring that we need to catch Ell. Demigod-lich couldn't have seen it coming that I could substantialize my cognitive world or put on the ring so quickly. Then, if he sees us together with Ell, who do you think he will be wary of?”
Because Alterna and mysteries existences from the World of Souls were attached to him, Lucien was bold enough to make plans about trapping a legendary sorcerer. Otherwise, it was possible that Demigod-lich already sensed the danger the moment he settled his plan, like the Lord of the Undead.
”How cunning of you.” Natasha observed.
”Alright, let's go.” Lucien retreated to his alchemy table and his paper. He was about to start walking, when he thought of something else. ”Natasha, you mentioned that I caused rather great noises?”
Natasha nodded affirmatively. ”When you wrote the paper, there was a feeble feeling of time-and-space change around. By the time you were almost done, a new sun rose in the dark night outside, scorching and terrifying. The monsters and beasts were so scared that they are still crying at present. Although it lasted only one or two seconds, I'm certain that it was not an illusion.”
”How did it happen?” Asked Lucien in surprise. Didn't such a phenomenon indicate the half-solidification of the cognitive world, which was starting to affect the real world? But he was still far away from legendary.
Interpreting his understanding to her, Lucien looked at Natasha in confusion, hoping that she could shed her insight.
Natasha looked at Lucien helplessly. ”I'm terrible at such things. Well, perhaps it's because this world is unique. After all, even the spiritual power and the willpower are suppressed.”
”Perhaps…” Lucien considered the possibility but did not think it through. In the meantime, he noticed the brilliance of Asin's godhood on Natasha's left arm. His lips cramped, but he decided not to remind her and simply wait for it to die away.
Natasha, on the other hand, noticed Lucien's eyes. She turned her head and looked at her left arm. ”Is this God's Glory?”
”You can see it?” Lucien was even more surprised.
Natasha blinked her eyes, having no clue why Lucien was so surprised. She said innocently, ”I can see it all the time, and so can other people. What's wrong?”
”That can't be right. In the main material world, people without special methods or items cannot see God's Glory.” Lucien believed that Natasha was not lying to him. Then, Ell provided the laurel box at the beginning only because Francis, Jacob and the rest of them could not touch God's Glory, not because they could not see it?
”Perhaps, it's because this world is idiosyncratic.” Natasha proposed the same reason. She was really not good at such things.
Lucien paced back and forth. ”The idiosyncrasies of this world… God's Glory, according to my hypothesis, is the amalgamation of special electromagnetic waves. Then, how can they be seen by untrained people?”
Suddenly, Lucien had an epiphany. ”Perhaps it's because the magnetic field of the body and soul of the intelligent creatures of this world are slightly different from that of the main material world. It makes their power of faith stronger and easier to disperse. Also, because the fake gods in this place do not have specific doctrines and rituals, the special electromagnetic waves that is 'power of faith' mostly leak and spread out in the air, causing severe electromagnetic contamination that suppresses the spiritual power which is also likely to be an electromagnetic wave. Does it mean that the release of willpower is also based on electromagnetic waves?”
”By the same logic, because the special electromagnetic waves of different 'frequencies' are all over the place, godhood will 'interact' with part of them, resulting in the brilliance. That's why it can be seen by ordinary people. When my cognitive world changed, it reverberated with certain electromagnetic waves in the outside worlds and caused the anomalies.”
”However, what about the projection and interaction of the real world, and what about the new magic models? Perhaps, my previous guesses are just part of the truth but not the whole of it.”
Looking at Lucien's meditative look and hearing his murmur, Natasha comforted him with a smile, ”It must be the mysteries of the highest level and cannot be figured out all of a sudden. Let's take our time. We can find intelligent creatures and study the differences of their magnetic field later.”
”Yes, Demigod-lich is what matters most right now.” Lucien stopped thinking and hinted at Natasha to leave for the Death Valley together with him.
At this moment, Natasha laughed like a fox. ”I thought of something. Asin, that 'God of Love and Beauty', seemed to have been a male centaur in the past, as proved by his dead body. However, after he melted part of godhood, he turned into a beautiful lady.”
While talking, she rubbed 'God's Glory' on her left arm, although she could not feel anything.
”No random thoughts.” Lucien looked at her solemnly.
Natasha cackled and said, ”Am I such an inconsiderate girl? The godhood conflicts with your cognitive world. How can I use it when it will harm you? Huh, I need to ask Grandma Hathaway to build an extraordinary item with the godhood. Do you think I should make an earring, a ring, or a belt, a tiara, a long skirt?”
”A longsword.” Replied Lucien emotionlessly.
Natasha asked in surprise, ”Why?”
”A longsword forged with the godhood of a senior-rank fake god can only be wielded by a radiant knight or a talented ordinary knight. Therefore, nobody will take it away by mistake.” Lucien continued emotionlessly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Natasha chuckled and said, ”that works too. How do you think it should be named?”
Lucien thought for a moment and suddenly said in amusement. ”It will be the Sword of Contract and Victory. When the young man draws the longsword, his fate is changed.”
Then, ignoring Natasha's confusion, Lucien walked out of the cave.
