Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 49: The Secret of the Sanctuary

Xiu Yi never believed in gods and spirits. He has always believed that the gods are the products of human self-fantasy, the place of hope for the empty and helpless soul.

It does not exist, but it is mysterious and tall because of its absence.

It is born of human fantasy, so it is a manifestation of human self-worship and pinning hope on the unknown.

Even in the magical world, everything that is unreasonable has a reason for its existence. But the gods, Xiu Yi really couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.

This man named Isado Naper actually told him that the gods of the Scourge Church really existed, which made Xiu Yi feel unbelievable. If the other party is not a person who has stepped into the sanctuary, Xiu Yi will scoff. The problem is that most of the time, the weight of words depends first on the speaker, not on the words themselves, so Xiu Yi didn't dare to say nonsense to the other party at will, and could only repeat: "A real god?"

"Yes." Elder Isadore Napper nodded with certainty: "The Church of Scourge was established under the guidance of the gods. The gods told us that sooner or later, the demon world will invade here."

"Sounds incredible."

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the Southern Continent, and I can help you communicate with the gods."

"Wait for the opportunity." Xiuyi thought for a while and said, "I am more concerned about the outcome of the transaction by the Council of Elders."

"Deal." Elder Isadore Napper said very readily: "We will send three animal trainers to the North Continent immediately, and at the same time, forty knights and mages from the Scourge Church will come."

"Does Nightmare Horse need so many people to take care of him?"

"It's just a necessary protective measure. To a certain extent, the nightmare horse is leased to you. As the owner, we need to take care of the nightmare horse to ensure that you will not use it in a dangerous situation."

"But in this way, won't my actions be under your surveillance?"

"Hugh Iglesne, please don't think that we are spying on you. In fact, you might as well regard this as a form of cooperation. If you are in danger, our people will also help you. When necessary, you can even use them as your fighting force. Of course, the premise is that you can't put them in too dangerous a situation."

"It sounds pretty good, but I'm afraid it's not as good as what you said." According to Prison Chief Isadore Napper, the group of people who will be sent will not only ensure the safety of the Nightmare Horse, but also accept Xiu Yi's dispatch. Just look at Keith to see how powerful the Scourge Church is. With as many as forty church knights and mages coming to him, it is definitely a skyrocketing force. The only question is whether he can control them.

"Hugh Igles, please relax your guard. From the moment the Scourge Church made a deal with you, you have already been our ally. We have never been stingy with our allies. In the same way, there will be more than these three deals between us. I believe that with your ability and the magic weapon you hold, you can help us in many cases. For example, on some necessary occasions, when we need a real magic weapon to appear, we can ask for your help. In addition, you are an alchemist, and the Scourge Church is in your hands. I am also very interested in some alchemy techniques, such as the teleportation circle."

"I'm not selling how it's made."

"But you can make it for us, right? For example, the teleportation from the southern continent to the northern continent, that can save us a lot of time." Elder Elder Isadore Naper smiled.

Xiuyi thought for a while and nodded: "You are right, but I still want to remind you again, Lord Elder, I am not a believer in the Scourge Church, but an ally of yours. Your people can come to my side, but they must obey my command."

"As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the church and doesn't make them die in vain, they will obey. If there is any dispute, you can notify us through the communication crystal, and the elders will make a decision. At the same time, the Scourge Church swears in the name of the gods that no matter what happens in the future, the church knights will not reveal anything about you."

"Very good. Sincerity is the greatest basis for cooperation. I believe we will have a happy cooperation in the future." Xiuyi said with satisfaction.

The three transactions were finalized in this way.

After discussing the details, Xiuyi suddenly thought of a question.

"Master Isado, I have a question to ask you. Is it convenient for you to answer?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"First of all, you are a sanctuary, right?"

"Yes."

"For a long time, there have been many legends about the power of the Sanctuary, but no one has ever known what the Sanctuary is all about. Compared with ordinary strong people, how strong is the Sanctuary? There are different opinions, but there is no unified answer? To be honest, I also want to know about this aspect."

For Xiuyi, if he used to only think about how to avenge the empire, then with the alliance with the Franks and the softening of the attitude of the Lance Empire, the matter of revenge has come to an end, and what needs to be replaced is how to strengthen himself as much as possible.

What exactly is Sanctuary? Why is every sanctuary so secretive? This is a question Xiuyi has always wanted to understand.

He had tried to find the secret by looking for the trail that Lancelot had walked, but Christine's people have not been able to find any clues until now.

God's will allowed him to get acquainted with the Elder of the Scourge Church. If he didn't seize the opportunity to understand the inside story, he might lose the opportunity in the future. Judging from the current situation, Isardo Naper takes himself very seriously. Xiu Yi did not guarantee that the other party would definitely answer this question, but it was absolutely impossible to say that she would kill herself because she violated a taboo.

Sure enough, Isadore Napper hesitated visibly.

"Master Elder, I really want to know the answer. Because my future opponent may have Sanctuary." Xiuyi said seriously.

Isadore Napper nodded, and replied in an old and deep tone: "Actually, it's not a big secret, Hugh Iglesle. If I tell you that the real combat power of a sanctuary is not much different from that of a star warrior or a seventh-level archmage, wouldn't you be surprised?"

Xiu Yi immediately froze.

—————————————

Level has always been an important criterion for judging strength. Although Xiu Yi himself had an example of defeating an opponent by leapfrogging, that didn't mean that he could easily cross the level limit. In fact, the higher he went, the greater the difference in level.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easy for warriors below level 4 to level up. Every time a warrior goes up one level, his strength will double.

From level 4 to level 7, it is relatively difficult to upgrade the level, and the increase in strength will increase to about three times.

After reaching level seven or above, every level up is almost equivalent to four to five times the strength.

Therefore, one sky warrior can easily deal with four to five earth warriors, or twenty sea warriors. As for fifth-level warriors like Xiu Yi, it is not a problem to deal with one or two hundred warriors. This shows the huge gap between the two sides.

Huey was able to win against Kevin Beers, to put it bluntly, because he was not a simple warrior, but also a mage. In addition, the magic dragon, the guardian nightmare, alchemy, the diamond golem, the memory gem ring and Lilith's consecration magic pattern are combined for joint operations. In fact, each of these assistants was much stronger than Xiu Yi himself, and the dedication of the magic pattern in the end directly raised Xiu Yi to the strength of a seventh-level warrior, laying the foundation for victory. Even so, Xiu Yi won the risk and the risk.

However, at the level of the star warriors, this gap in strength is enlarged again. A star warrior can deal with seven or eight sky warriors alone, and his strength is already extremely terrifying.

A star warrior like Hampton, on the battlefield, is an army alone, unless he is caught in a sea of ​​thousands of people, he can come and go freely.

Therefore, in Xiu Yi's understanding, the power of the sanctuary might already be as strong as ten star warriors.

But now, Isadore Naper told him that the real strength of the Sanctuary was not much different from that of a star warrior or a seventh-level mage.

This is really something that he can't figure out.

"I don't understand why."

"The reason is very simple, because the power has reached the limit." Isadore Naper solemnly said: "The star warrior is the pinnacle of human power development, and the seventh-level mage, who can release the magic that manipulates the power of the heavens and the earth, has also reached the peak."

"I thought there was no limit to power."

"That's just mediocre prejudice. How can there be no limit to power? We are all mortals, and mortals have mortal limits. It's like a bowl full of water, and it can't hold any more."

"But can't a bowl be turned into a bucket through practice?"

Isadore Napper chuckled: "If bowls can be turned into buckets, are people still people?"

Huey was stunned.

Isado Naper said seriously: "If bowls can be turned into barrels, then humans are not humans, but gods. The sanctuary is still a human being, so the bowl will not become a barrel, but after becoming a sanctuary, we have a new kind of power."

"New power?"

"Yes, new power. After becoming a sanctuary, we can still practice, but the power can no longer stay in the body, but overflows automatically. This overflowing power is like water on the top of a mountain, forming a waterfall in the process of flowing down. Power is generated in a new environment, feels the heaven and earth, combines with ourselves, and finally forms a new power, which is... the domain."

"field?"

"Yes, the new power formed by the overflowing power after being tempered is called domain power, also called law power." Isadore Naper laughed and said, "In fact, this is the reason why the sanctuary is the sanctuary. Under the influence of the domain power, we can exert our strength to a greater extent."

With Isadore Naper's explanation, Huey gradually understood the secrets of the domain.

It turns out that domain power is not generated for no reason. It is a qualitative change produced by quantitative changes after the powerhouses in the sanctuary have reached their peak. This qualitative change allows Sanctuary to create its own law field within a certain range.

Laws are the foundation of the survival of all things. Just as the sun rises in the morning and the moon only in the evening, spring is the time of planting and autumn is the time of harvest. This law is the law of the earth, which cannot be changed by anyone. Even if a magician can forcibly reverse the flower through magic, so that the flower blooms in winter, what he changes is only the flower, not the law of this area.

The power of the field is the power of the strong to formulate new laws within the scope of their influence. It can reverse time, reverse space, bring the dead back to life, and make the living eternal.

Sounds amazing, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, things are not that simple.

As Isardo Napper said, it is a qualitative change produced by spillover forces. In other words, it is not in the bowl, so it is not subject to the absolute constraints of the master of power. A samurai can manipulate the grudge in his body at will, but he cannot do so freely with the power of the domain.

The most obvious point is: no matter what kind of rules the sanctuary powerhouses create, they themselves must abide by the rules.

"That is to say, when fighting against people, the powerful in the sanctuary have the ability to change all the laws of existence of the surrounding things, but the problem is that they themselves cannot transcend the laws, and are also restricted by the changed laws, is that true?" Xiu Yi quickly caught the key point in Isadore Naper's words.

"To be precise, it cannot be easily detached."

"I think I understand. This is like an uprising, a revolution. The new hero defeated the old country and established a new order. But the new order also constrains the new monarch and cannot be easily violated. Of course, as the maker of the order, he can choose to formulate a system that is beneficial to him, and occasionally use his power to forcibly break the rules, but the consequences of forcibly breaking will inevitably have harmful effects on himself."

"That's right, smart boy." Isadore Napper clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The only difference is that if the sanctuary breaks the rules by itself, it will immediately suffer serious backlash, and the price will be much greater than the consequences caused by the occasional use of privileges by the lord of a country."

"Then, the real power of the Sanctuary..." Xiu Yi lowered his head for a while, then raised his head and said with certainty: "It lies in the formulation of laws that are beneficial to oneself. For example, a warrior sanctuary can formulate laws that prohibit all magic in its own domain. Because it is a domain of laws, it is supreme and cannot be broken by anyone or any divine weapon. In this way, I am afraid that the gathering of the world's great mages is not enough for a sanctuary warrior to slaughter. Sanctuary is already invincible in terms of laws that are beneficial to you.”

"That's it. But things are not so simple. The laws are also different. The field of banned magic is a high -coverage law. It is required not to use all magic and consume great consumption in the field. And it is only effective for the magician. If it is not meaningful for the warrior. It will be more practical to formulate a low -coverage law. For example, the use of a single spell is prohibited, or the combat skills are prohibited or a certain combat method is prohibited. "

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder the sanctuaries never want to let others know the secrets of the domain."

"Once a domain is created, laws must be formulated for it. Once the rules are established, they cannot be easily changed. Therefore, the legal domains of each sanctuary are different. These legal domains can protect themselves to the greatest extent and improve their strength, but at the same time, there will inevitably be loopholes. Especially the low-coverage legal domains are bound to have loopholes. If they are known, they are likely to attack such loopholes. In this way, even the sanctuary will be defeated. So you can know what the domain is, but you should never want to know that a certain sanctuary is your law domain What laws are made. Unless you survive fighting him."

Like Lancelot, Huey thought.

He finally understood why Lancelot was able to survive from the hands of that sanctuary.

The sanctuary of the Banister family is a warrior sanctuary. 80% of the rules of this warrior sanctuary may be low-coverage domains, and it is very likely that it will not have much impact on warriors like Lancelot. And the power of the sanctuary itself is limited than that of the stars.

So although Lancelot was defeated, he survived by luck.

If he is challenging a magic sanctuary, and the other party has a rule domain that prohibits combat skills or partial restrictions on fighting spirit, then Lancelot will never want to leave alive. No one can break away from the rules of the domain, even Sanctuary itself, which created the domain, is no exception.

The so-called sanctuary, to put it bluntly, is very simple, that is, after the sanctuary has the power to formulate the rules of the field, they try their best to create a combat field that suits them best. But it is only as far as possible, and it is impossible to have an effect on all opponents.

According to Isado Naper, the use of the domain consumes the power of the domain. This kind of field power is born from the qualitative change of the overflowing power of the sanctuary, so it must not be easy to generate. Therefore, the powerhouses in the sanctuary also need to practice, but what they cultivate is the domain. They accumulate enough domain power as much as possible so that the domain power can be maintained for a long enough time. At the same time, they also try to choose laws that consume less domain power. When it is not necessary, he will not easily use the power of the field.

"President Isadore Naper, I'm very glad you told me this, it solved a puzzle in my heart." Huey bowed to Isadore Naper.

"You're welcome, Hugh Iglell, I hope you can understand that even the domain itself is a secret. You must know that every sanctuary will inevitably have enemies. If the secrets of the domain are spread, many people will try their best to find ways to defeat the sanctuary. Even if a sanctuary doesn't tell others what the laws of their domain are, that doesn't mean they can't guess. There will be endless troubles."

"I understand. It's like you are a magic sanctuary. For most magicians, they are never afraid of facing countless enemies, but they are worried about one or two samurai strongers. Therefore, I can guess that most of the rules you formulate are also targeted at samurai. In this way, what can really threaten you, except for the holy domain, is probably the other magician. What you choose is the low -coverage field and what the law is limited by people, then even the samurai may pose a threat to you. "

Isado Naper chuckled: "So if you are my enemy, you can find a way to deal with me in this regard. Even if you don't do anything, just spread the word...Although I may not be afraid, it will cause me some trouble."

"I'm starting to appreciate you now, Elder Isadore Napper, you can tell me such an important secret. No wonder the sanctuary will make a convention and never disclose the secrets of the relevant fields."

"There are no secrets in this world that will never be revealed, but those who know the inside story know how to keep their mouths in check."

"You are right, Your Excellency, and I am not going to make an exception on this point."

"I believe in you, Hugh Igles. Although you are young, your intelligence is very mature."

"Then may I ask Your Excellency the Elder Elder, what will happen if two sanctuaries meet and the two realms collide?"

"The nature is different or the same, coexist. The nature is opposite, cancel."

"The last question, is there any strong person in the sanctuary who can transcend the restrictions imposed by the rules of the domain?"

Isado Naper pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. If there is, it's also... above the sanctuary."
