Chapter 423 The White Knight and the Protestant

"Frankly speaking, although I am a Druid, and I have done some research on the history of druids' belief changes, I am not quite sure what the 'lock' you describe is about," After thinking for a moment, Pittman said to Wright, "Druids don't seem to have encountered any 'lock' influence in the process of converting natural magic into druid spells... But as far as I know in history , there is a detail that may be a reference for you."

"Oh?" Gawain showed interest, "What details?"

"I don't know if you have heard that after the fall of the white star three thousand years ago, although most of the druids' natural magic was transformed into druid magic, there are still some druids who have not been able to successfully complete this transformation. ," Pittman told about this history that many people don't know, with a look of emotion on his face, "Even if they accept the fact that the god of nature has fallen, accept the fact that the magic of nature has failed, and accept the fact that the god of nature has failed. The power is attributed to the status quo of mortals, and they have never been able to break through a certain limit. Most of them cannot cast spells for life, and a few more miserable people are met with backlash in the process of forcibly trying to cast spells... This part of the 'losers' The reason for the inability to cast spells is always a mystery.

"There are many scholars who have studied the old Druid priests who can't transform, and found that the latter have no problems from physical condition to mental state to magic perception ability, but they just can't cast spells..."

Gawain couldn't help but express his guess: "Is that 'lock' affecting them subconsciously?"

"Perhaps as Wright described, there really is an 'invisible lock' in the subconscious of mortals. This lock restricts every mortal's ability to access divine arts. It is related to the existence of gods, but even if gods fall, This lock will still play a certain role, but when the gods fall, the power of this lock will be greatly weakened, so that most people can break free of it," Pittman nodded lightly, and then if there were any Glancing at Wright deeply, "And Wright... you are probably the first person in human history to use your own will to break free from this 'lock' while the gods still exist."

Gawain was lost in thought.

A lock, a lock that may exist in the human subconscious layer, affects every mortal in the world, making them unable to escape the influence of the gods without being aware of them, so that they can only rely on obedience to the scriptures and worship of the gods. The only way to get in touch with the magic... Is this chain naturally generated after everyone is born, or is it established due to some acquired influence?

Considering that there has never been a mortal who was born unaffected by this shackle, Gawain believed that this layer of subconscious shackles was most likely innate.

This is a world where various supernatural powers exist, and the closer to the realm of magical truth, the more blurred the boundary between human "consciousness" and the real world is. Gawain will not despise a "lock" that exists in the subconscious level. ——Even if it is so intangible that almost no one notices its existence, because he knows very well that once he has penetrated into the deepest depths of magic mysteries, this seemingly intangible and intangible thing will be better than the tangible and qualitative thing. more difficult to deal with.

Of course, he is more concerned about another thing now than in the future: Can the changes in Wright be replicated?

A pioneer who broke through the shackles of gods and used his own will and belief to control the Holy Light - Wright's Holy Light power is not only a personal ability, but in Gawain's view, it is a breaking point in the new era. These days, he has been thinking about what to do with the rotten, dark and congenitally flawed traditional Holy Light sect (and other sects that may go down the road of depravity). He cannot directly ban these sects,

But they can't be made into the shackles of the territory, and the appearance of Wright seems to provide a solution...

But to solve the problem of the church, only a pioneer like Wright cannot do. If the new way of the Holy Light cannot be promoted and copied, it will have no competitive advantage in front of the traditional church.

He said his doubts, but Amber next to him was the first to frown: "This should be quite difficult... The old man said just now that Wright may be the first human being to break through the 'limitation by his own will' in history. 'Yes, this shows that it is definitely difficult to break through this limitation, where can you find so many talented and capable people with extraordinary will..."

"Perhaps it's not as difficult as I thought," Pitman interrupted Amber, "First of all, since Wright succeeded, it means that the power of this lock is not absolute, and ordinary people have the possibility of replicating this process - even if it is possible. The sex is very low; secondly, the most difficult thing to break is the first time. If you see Wright using his own power to use the power of the Holy Light, then I believe that many Holy Light believers will be shaken, and it will be difficult for them to break through this subconscious lock. It is greatly reduced. And I believe in one thing: the existence of all things should have rules to follow. Since Wright can succeed, it means that there is its own logic and laws behind this matter. As long as we continue to study it, we can always Find something."

Gawain agreed with Pittman's words, and what made him even more gratified was that Pittman had established such a profound and correct researcher's idea-his sloppy and unreliable appearance, hidden It is a kind of rare scientific thought in this era. Gawain does not know whether these ideas of Pittman are originally there or he was slowly cultivated in the process of leading research work in the territory, but he is very sure that as long as the territory is in the field. Education and scientific research can continue to develop, researchers like Pittman can continue to lead the apprentices forward, and there will be more and more people with similar research ideas.

Wright is not a researcher, but this does not affect his understanding of Pittman's words and Gawain's thinking. He knows what his process of regaining the Holy Light means to other believers who still believe in the God of Light, and more. Knowing that the rotten and dark sect of the Holy Light is in desperate need of a reform, he is happy to do something about it: "I have been meditating for the past few days to perceive the flow of the Holy Light, and I have consulted a lot with Master Carmel. As for the knowledge of magic, I think the operation of Holy Light is indeed regular, but it is also different from ordinary spells, that is, it seems to be very influenced by the caster's belief... I can't tell the subtlety of it However, I can feel that whenever the Holy Light surges, it is interacting and resonating with the Holy Light morality that I firmly believe in.”

"This is normal, and the same is true of Druid spells. The effect of Druids is very much affected by the caster's own beliefs. The 'Nature Spirit' sect is the most particular about this. If it fits, the Druid spells cast are effective enough," Pittman nodded, and showed a thoughtful look, "So it seems that the power that is transformed from divine spells to spells will have this quality? Mind-biased' influence?"

It was the first time that Gawain knew such details, and he was a little surprised: "So, what's going on with those fallen druids who will die? It's possible that their dark spells also contain their love for each other. Can't the feelings of all things in nature be true?"

Pittman opened his mouth just as he was about to speak, when Amber next to him interjected: "Hey, let go of your thinking, aren't deep love and deep hatred both deep-maybe there are no fallen druids. , they just distorted their love for the world..."

No one paid any attention to Amber's nonsense, and Pittman just shook his head: "The fallen druids also have their own understanding of the principles of nature, and all things in nature are born and die. As a basic law, it does not have human moral factors. , which is different from the Holy Light, which has a strong moral inclination."

To be honest, Gawain was not very comfortable with the assumption that "the human mind can interfere with the macroscopic world". This assumption was even more incredible than what he knew about quantum mechanics, but since the world really exists based on mind. Power, and all the related hypotheses are objective research goals. Based on the scientific concept of recognizing the world and transforming the world, he must also face these hypotheses.

"Maybe we can open a special project to analyze the mystery of the Holy Light on Wright, it is not enough for him to study this matter," Gawain said slowly, "In addition... Wright, I hope you Think about new teachings in addition to studying the Holy Light."

As soon as the words "New Doctrine" were uttered, the expressions of Pittman and Amber suddenly changed, but Wright was as calm as he had expected. He just nodded solemnly to Gawain: "I understand—the church is not open these days, and I am also thinking about this. I have to think about how to explain the true meaning of the way of the Holy Light to believers..."

As he spoke, the Kong Wuliang pastor couldn't help showing a bit of unease on his face: "To be honest, I haven't finished yet, I'm just a low-level missionary pastor, and I don't know if I can do it myself. Such a big deal."

"You are not just a missionary pastor, you have changed history, you should have some confidence in yourself," Gawain said with a smile, "and I will help you, although I am not a believer of the Holy Light, but I at least know how to Guiding the people—since we want to return the light to the world and return the right path to the hearts of the people, the guidance of the people will be essential.”

When Wright heard this, he bowed his head sincerely: "Thank you so much - I'm really not good at this..."

"Since we want to promote new teachings, we must be different from the original Holy Light Church," Gawain continued, "I haven't decided on the name of the new church yet, but your pastor status should be changed. - Missionary pastor, this is the identity given to you by the Church of the Holy Light, and there is no need to keep this identity."

Wright didn't seem to realize what was wrong with the framework of the "New Religion" being determined by the lords of non-believers. He just followed Gawain's words and thought: "I think so too... But I can't think of a more appropriate name for a while."

Gawain looked at Wright from top to bottom, and the scene when he saw him in the church a few days ago could not help but emerge in his mind.

Wearing tattered armor, standing in front of the pulpit, a "knight" bathed in light.

"White Knight," Gawain said the first word that popped into his mind, "you should be a white knight, the guardian of the right path, you are someone who has to overcome thorns and thorns, and in the faith of the Holy Light that has fallen into darkness A path has been opened up, so I wish you the Holy Light to add to your body, like an armor, and go forward."

"The White Knight..."

Wright repeated the brand new word in a low voice, the fog in his heart gradually cleared.

The holy light is added to the body, like an armor, and it moves forward.

Yes, only knights who are determined and determined can set foot on this road, and this commoner clothes are really not suitable for him.

Wright exhaled softly, and his heart suddenly became clear, and the holy light that had always been faintly emerging around him also became brighter and more condensed, as if even the holy light was rejoicing at the birth of the "white knight". .

In the holy light that gradually condensed, Gawain once again saw something vaguely flashing before his eyes.

He really didn't want to break the atmosphere of this historical moment in front of him, but Amber next to him didn't care about it, Miss Half-elf directly stretched out her hand: "I just wanted to ask, why is there always a double image in your holy light..."

A small figure emerged from the holy light behind Wright, dodged Amber's claws erratically, and stared at the latter.
