"The rules of the plane? In fact, it is easy to understand. A mature plane is like a big mansion with a master. The creator is the master of the big mansion. The gods with priesthood are the managers of all aspects, and some are responsible for Regular watering (raining), and some people who are responsible for the rotation of staff and residents (reincarnation), if you create a job and job, make the mansion run better, and get the approval of the owner, naturally Become a god, and as long as this house is still there, you are naturally immortal. - "The Game of Space and Time (Conjectures of the Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Book III)" BY Thrace Solomon."
Known as the greatest master of space, the old Thracian man, his understanding of space and time laid the foundation for the research of the kingdom of mages in these two cutting-edge fields, but in the first volume of time and the second volume of space became When all the required courses for mages who study space, time, plane summoning, illusion, etc. were taken, the third volume caused their evaluation to drop rapidly, directly turning them from a wise great sage to one of the most mad mages in history.
As for whether what he said is true, whether the assassins sent by the church really killed one of the strongest mages in the world is unknown, but the old mages have not appeared in the world for more than 300 years. .
But now, the third volume can only be found in the circle of the old mages. After all, he explained the mysteries of the gods in a very easy to understand way, and belief and longing require a sufficient distance, and it is difficult for anyone Treat the guy beside him who burps when he eats and farts when he sleeps as a fanatical object of belief, even if he is indeed a god, perhaps, this is another way of saying that longing is the farthest distance from reality.
Although mages have never had faith in gods, they at least know the importance and knowledge is power, but it is enough to know some things by themselves. Before breaking with the gods, there is no need to do too much, involving planes, time, order, Knowledge such as priesthood is basically a patent that can only be accessed by an archmage.
As for the plane rules, in the forbidden third volume, the Thracian old man actually has a more direct explanation.
"Under normal circumstances, the real body of the god cannot reach the world of Ashe, and can only remotely control his followers and avatars for indirect command. This is because the owner does not have open permission to invite these guys to come in, for fear that these people are powerful and powerful. Guys with rough hands and feet break furniture and beat servants. But in a special case, the means of gods interfering in this world will be more direct, that is, in a specific world, all restrictions will be lifted, and outsiders can easily Entering this house, even the 'housekeepers' can do whatever they want. Yes, that's called jihad."
"According to the data we have collected over the years, the fluctuations of elemental tides are beyond the grasp of mortals and gods. This is more like an exchange mechanism between the Ashe plane and the four element planes. In this During the high tide of elemental tides, the whole world seems to be renewing and changing something. Perhaps, this is a replacement mechanism of the world itself. Well, I have no evidence, this is just speculation, but new species and new minerals appear after every jihad. , new plants, new animals, all seem to be able to prove my theory."
"In the jihad, the previous generation of world masters have a high chance of being defeated, or dying in large numbers enough to dominate the world, and their survivors will naturally reduce the fertility rate strangely. On the other hand, the entire Ninety-five percent of the intelligent creatures on the plane will die. After the end of the jihad, the new dominant race will usher in a new generation of births, and the living space left by other creatures will become their favored land. This is simply It's like it's planned to give the winner a prize. The best proof for my statement is not just the birth tide of us humans after the last war, but the large number of elves after winning the previous jihad. Newborns, they are a notoriously low birthing race, and after the last jihad, their birth rate was an order of magnitude lower."
“…If you look back, it’s almost like jihad has become a period of growth that the world must go through. We humans are just sacrifices in it. We are not the owners of this house (the world), but tenants for a short period of time. In the end, the key must be handed over to the next tenant. No, if my theory is correct, even the so-called high-level gods are nothing more than relatively high-level sacrifices, perhaps they should be said to be consumables."
"… All our beings and species are part of this world and serve this world. The river Styx is constantly flowing, the demons and devils will never end, and as long as the pillar of the sky still exists for one day, all beings will believe in gods. , longing for a good belonging after his death, and the gods of order will also have an endless source of faith. But compared with the evil gods on the side of chaos, such a power has too many restrictions, at least, it will be subject to order The domination of the source."
When Roland read this, his first reaction was not "Ah, that's right", but "Unbelievable, this guy didn't disappear because he knew too much?", and then after asking others, he learned that It was true that the archmage disappeared hundreds of years ago, and he nodded, "That's right, it should be like this. This is the end."
In the kingdom of mages, the thoughts of the Archmage Thrace were also regarded as too extreme. Since the third book said it was a "conjecture", the whole text is even more conjectures and speculations without evidence. Naturally Not many people believe it, of course, it cannot spread, and the main thing is that no one can gain strength and knowledge from such a theory that is all speculation.
But if it was of no use at all, this third book would have long been left in the library and no one cares. This traditional mage, who has no interest in demonology and summoning at all, has obtained a lot of by-products in his research. Amazing achievements in demon summoning, plane travel, and more.
"... Then, the so-called blood sacrifices necessary for demons and demons to come to the world are also well explained. Those bloody rituals often have many requirements, but the common point is that the more frights the sacrifices are received before they die, the more miserable they die. The better, according to my research on those rituals, the soul is not consumed, but it disappears. There is a saying in the devil that 'the soul is the only common currency in the lower planes', then, what is the 'currency' obtained in the blood sacrifice? Went there. My personal inclination is to pay the abyss or the world itself as 'tolls' and 'lodging' for demons to exist in the mortal world. In this regard, I did a series of experiments and got Certain results…”
A simple blood sacrifice kit, a unit of measurement for the soul, the communication method with the residents of the lower plane, the new demon binding magic circle derived from the new theory, the double cross-plane summoning that is simply a loophole in the rules of the plane, the old mage is in this regard His research results made countless demigod demon warlocks and summoners feel ashamed. The classic subjects and research results of his subjects were actually created by mages of other departments.
"The best support for my guess is that the abilities of the lowest-level demons are very weak, even weaker than ordinary beasts, and should never be restricted by the rules of the plane, but summoning them must also carry out blood sacrifices, even if it is the caster himself. blood, which is completely contrary to the mainstream 'elemental tide restriction theory', according to which they should not be subject to any restrictions. At the same time, the undead are also very unpopular, but the undead are removed from the plane of the undead. Summoning does not require blood sacrifice. But these lower plane residents are not so troublesome when they go to other planes. Perhaps the blood sacrifice itself is not important, and even he is just an application to enter the 'house', which needs the approval of the world rules . Then, I have another conjecture... "
If the research ends here, it’s fine, but those who read the book here will continue to read, Duobai will be surprised and sighed, “The disappearance of the Thracian old man is really self-inflicted. write it in the book."
What did he write? He wrote... the truth of jihad!
"Then, during the middle and late stages of the jihad, even the demons should not pay the 'toll' to come to this world, which means that the owner of the house has invited the devil? Then, we should think carefully about being the 'house owner' 'Why did the gods of order and the source of order invite them, what motives did they have, and did they want to win the holy war. Or did they just want to see countless lives destroyed in the holy war, the whole world destroyed by the war and after the war Reincarnation in reconstruction."
"... Then, it may not be a good thing to be the victors in the jihad. After all, they will often become the primary sacrifice of the next jihad. Otherwise, how can they afford so much soul currency. Perhaps, not only those who need these currencies are Only the inhabitants of the lower planes, including those in heaven…”
Although there are many stupid people these days, there are also many smart people, especially those old antiques who have lived for a long time. Their long lifespan has given them endless knowledge. What, but if you know it, forget it. Thrace not only said it, but also wrote it. Obviously, he succeeded in his death. It is worth mentioning that Thrace is the mentor of Margaret's mentor, and even these reputations are not obvious. The writings were obtained from Margaret.
And for me at this time, there is such a "dead vanguard"... Well, the respectable senior is really gratifying, especially since he has successfully thrown a lot of his research into the banned books. , saved me a lot of trouble, and even the idea of getting the base of the plane as a summoning touch (sending a plane-level invitation) was deduced from his theory.
"… Well, summoning demons and demons on the main plane requires blood sacrifice, while summoning demons in other planes is not necessary, but most of them will fail. The main reason is that other planes lack oil and water, and the fear of demons is a trap for enslaving them. As for the main plane Why don't the planes worry about traps? The soul and flesh of the main plane make these guys willing to take risks, and if they just enter incarnations, they are even less threatening..."
In front of him is a giant summoning circle with a radius of more than tens of kilometers. This is a revised version of the simple circle of Thrace, and the white dragons soaring in the sky are helping to draw it.
The recognition of the white dragon that can be obtained is too cost-effective. Such a formation is esoteric and incomprehensible to ordinary people, but it is nothing to the dragon family. If it is seen by other dragons, I am afraid they will know that we have summoned. The target does not exist in the world of Ashe, and the inhabitants of the lower plane are the least welcome at any time.
"It doesn't matter if you call the devil. After all, they are in our plan, and the devil can be reasonable. What are you going to do when you call the devil?"
The ancient white dragon Summer fell to the ground, and it had already transformed into the form of a snow elf.
Not far from the huge summoning circle, there is a slightly smaller circle. Although his plane coordinates are also the lower plane, it is not the devil's residence hell, but a certain layer of the endless abyss.
"Oh, it's a personal relationship here to help."
"... This should be the direct domain of a demon lord above an earl. Are you sure they will reason with you instead of burning the fire of disaster on your head?"
"...No need to try, she is trustworthy. She is the new Demon Marquis, even if I tell you her name, you probably don't know. Besides, if I don't look for her... Calamity fire will definitely burn on my head."
"The new Demon Marquis? The one from the sea of fire? She and you..."
"... Probably, probably, maybe, it's a girlfriend, right?"
"Why do you use interrogative sentences? Oh, I understand, young people are really amazing, they dare to find a devil to fall in love with, you are afraid that she will accidentally eat you. By the way, how tall is she, 300 meters or 400 meters, If she is a fire element, she should have her own abyss magic flame that burns everything, can she be able to operate freely at such a young age? If she goes on fire, can you afford it with a small body?"
Somerner first looked at the warriors and then looked at the martyrs, which made me a little unbearable, but after being reminded by him, my vest started to sweat, and I seemed to have missed something unknowingly. .
Wait, if Eliza comes, she will come with the real body of the Demon Marquise, not the temporary incarnation obtained from an incomplete blood sacrifice. Although a complete Demon Marquise can become a reliable fighting force, if she intends to first Pack me up, or accidentally trample me to death...
"Oh, you still have self-knowledge, no, it should be said that you have made progress, knowing that she will take care of you?"
"Dead cat, you still want to fall into the lower stone... Otherwise, let's revise the magic circle, at least delay it for a while, I'm not ready..."
But the black cat looked at the magic circle that was already lit up over there and shook his head.
"It's too late. She's in a hurry than you. She's already here. I don't know if you're ready. She's probably ready."
