Chapter 387
Making lots and deciding the order in such a short period of time that Lee Han didn’t see.
Lee Han couldn’t help but admire the sincerity and cooperation of the Phoenix Tower students.
If they were students of the Blue Dragon Tower, they would still be fighting over who would draw lots first.
“Was it Sharukal?”
“yes.”
Those who worshiped Agltakwa, the god of seas and storms, were usually sailors or marine creatures.
In a way, it was natural for Sharuqal, a shark beast, to believe in Agltakwa.
“I think this is destiny.”
“what?”
“Isn’t there a good place to show Agltakwa’s teachings like this? Look at this sea!”
“It’s a lake…”
“When I see this sea, I think of Agultakwa.”
“Yes.”
Lee Han decided to listen.
Even priests who are usually taciturn have a different story when they get into the story of faith.
In the past, Yihan had been told that while feeding Priest Tizzelling a snack, he said, ‘But why does Prisinga sacrifice herself to support the world?’
In this case, we had to act as carefully as possible. The story could have been several times longer if it was stimulated.
“So Agultakwa-sama got drunk and spilled her alcohol, and that was the sea… Oh. Lee Han of the Wodanaz family. I heard that you are the most interested in magic among the students.”
“You can call me casually without being rigidly polite. And that seems a bit misunderstood.”
“You are humble.”
“Misunderstanding…”
Lee Han gave up after trying to explain in detail.
Even if Lee Han was Sharukal, people who listened to lectures from all schools would have said ‘what bullshit’ if he said ‘I’m not that interested in magic’.
“…so why?”
“ah. I was thinking about how Lee Han could get interested in Agultakwa. wealth? authority? That would mean nothing to Lee Han-nim.”
‘It’s not.’
Lee Han was dumbfounded by Priest Sharukal’s words.
If a certain church declares, ‘If you believe in our church, we will give you a gold coin every time you pray’, Lee Han was confident that from that point on, he would become an ardent adherent of that church.
“That’s when I realized. ah! What Lee Han-nim, who has no interest in wealth or power, might be interested in is magic. So, I prepared to show you Agultakwa’s divine magic.”
“oh.”
Lee Han suddenly became interested in Sharukal’s words.
‘But I won’t be able to learn divine magic.’
There were words left by outstanding wizards Lee Han knew about divine magic.
A principal.
– I am also not very interested in religion. Because I’m too smart to believe in God.
B lord.
– It’s a good idea to try to learn divine magic. If you want to waste your time in vain. Compared to real magic elaborated on the background of formulas and theories, divine magic is just the babble of savages who howl intoxicated with faith and emotion.
Even if he didn’t go to that extreme, Lee Han was sympathetic to the principles of divine magic that the two wizards insisted on.
The Empire’s magic was based on theories and knowledge accumulated over a long period of time.
What is the most efficient and accurate magic to create a phenomenon?
And does the same result come out when the spell is repeated? Does it have reproducibility even if other wizards use it?
These histories and principles were the driving force for the infinite mages of the empire to communicate, interact, and develop together.
Without these things, the wizards of the Empire would still be playing separately in their respective regions with their own rules.
However, even the magic of this empire could not explain everything in the magical world.
Primitive magic found in places untouched by humans Ancient magic that has long since been cut off psychic ability instinctively triggered by people who have not systematically learned magic Divine magic that rolls with faith rather than theory… rather than theory and
knowledge These magics, rolling with the powers and senses, still remained. Some Imperial wizards even made it their job to analyze and explain such magic.
‘Because divine magic… belief is essential.’
Among magic that rolls with individual abilities and senses, ‘belief’ was important in divine magic.
Intense faith in God.
That belief made possible a unique phenomenon that was different from imperial magic.
But Lee Han did not have that kind of faith. Isn’t it a fake god who is only interested in ashes in the first place?
‘Honestly, I think the headmaster’s claim is correct.’
Doesn’t it mean that God really exists and borrows its power, but that the will of faith sent by countless believers is influencing reality?
As wizards also change reality with their will, it was not strange that the will of countless people as a group created a powerful force that shook reality.
“So what magic is it?”
Lee Han couldn’t guess what kind of magic Sharukal would use.
Divine magic has a large difference in individual abilities and senses, so the magic that appears is different rather than consistent.
Of course, there was a general tendency according to the characteristics of the denomination and the deity…
“Agletakwasi, who sees through the deep abyss. Send me your limbs.”
Sharukal chanted a spell in a low, heavy voice.
It was different from concentrating while swinging a staff or arranging the flow of magical power.
Chow ah ah –
There was a sound of something moving at the bottom of the lake, and fish began to gather near Sharukal’s feet.
Lee Han was surprised to see that.
“Are you calling marine creatures?”
“That’s right, Lee Han.”
Seeing the admiration of the priests next to him, it was clear that Sharukal’s divine magic was quite impressive.
‘Well, it’s still a first year, but it’s not normal to call creatures from far away.’
Lee Han forgot that he was also a freshman and admired them together.
In order to show the Empire’s magic enough power to reach living things through the adverse conditions of being in the water at such a distance, a complicated process and theoretical preparation were required.
However, if you had faith, you could solve it at once in that way.
Although it is not versatile and versatile like magic, it is effective enough to be impossible to follow in a specific situation.
“How is it? Lee Han?”
Sharukal asked, sweating.
Although magic was successful with faith, there was no consumption of mental power or magic power.
Lee Han answered to relieve Sharuqal’s burden quickly.
“Awesome. Calling creatures from far away like this. Besides, it’s very useful. Get it right…”
“Haha. These creatures are like my friends, so when I ask, they do their best to do it. I am always grateful.”
“…that friendship really shines like gold! i envy you!”
Lee Han quickly turned around.
Sharuqal didn’t guess at all that Lee Han thought of his friends as fresh sashimi and continued.
“When I was young, I was driving a small boat out to sea, and there was a time when it was caught in a storm and drifted. I prayed and prayed to Agltakwa. Fortunately, Agltakwa gave me this magic as if he had taken great care of me. With the help of my friends from the sea, I was able to barely come back.”
Lee Han, who was listening, said with a serious face.
“indeed. So, do I have to go out in a boat and meet the storm?”
“…yes!? You don’t have to do that!”
Sharukal replied in a voice tired of Lee Han’s extreme remarks.
What kind of nonsensical penance is that?
“uh? is it? However, if there is no set method, the most likely way is to copy someone else’s experience…” ”
That’s too risky… I just wanted to say that I sincerely pray for you.”
“Right.”
‘I think I’ll be weak with that.’
Apart from Lee Han’s own beliefs, Lee Han was a little skeptical of such a prayer.
Why would so many priests awaken to divine magic in times of crisis or emergency?
A person’s faith was stronger only when he fell into an extreme situation.
Aside from that, Lee Han himself also improved his magic skills when his life was threatened by Professor Voladi…
‘…Such crazy. I’m thinking like Professor Voladi!’
Lee Han was startled by his own madness.
It must have been because of Professor Voladi.
They say that if you look into the abyss for a long time, the abyss will also look into you…
“Yes. Then I will try to pray.”
Lee Han still thought of praying with all his might to repay Sharukal’s sincerity.
There was nothing wrong with leaving a good impression on the priests whether they succeeded or not.
Even if they couldn’t use divine magic, sincere believers were bound to take care of anything in the church.
‘What does the Church of Agltakwa take care of? Sashimi?’
“Why is that bastard not breathing underwater and doing other things?”
“Stupid bastard. Isn’t it wordanaz? You must have already learned to breathe underwater.”
Hearing the voices of the White Tiger Tower students next to him, Lee Han raised his head.
“Sharukal?”
“yes?”
“Let’s start by practicing underwater breathing.”
“Oh no!”
* * *
After 30 seconds.
“You succeeded.”
“……”
“……”
The two White Tiger Tower students who were practicing next to him glared at him, but Lee Han didn’t notice.
“Sharukal, can you not practice?”
“I can breathe in water, right?”
“……”
“……”
The two White Tiger Tower students who were practicing next to them glared even more sharply than before.
“okay. Then… what should I do with the prayer?”
“Let’s pray with the thoughts we usually have towards the sea. New believers usually start that way.”
Sharukal was very excited to see Yihan behaving in good faith to Agltakwa, and smiled.
On the other hand, Lee Han had many thoughts.
‘I have no idea about the sea.’
To put it mildly, I was concerned about the fact that it might be okay if I invest in the herring craze in the southern part of the empire last year?
“Dear Agltakwa… Hmm…”
Lee Han gave up after trying to bring out the faith he hadn’t had in any way.
It seemed right to try it in my own way, whether it worked or not.
Imagine the faith of many people who believe in Agltakwa.
Think of that huge ocean of energy.
And…
‘I can’t just ask for it.’
Lee Han thought rationally.
As he did not have the faith and piety offered by the other priests, Lee Han decided to just think of it as magic.
I’ll give you my magic, so as a reward, ask for a little borrowing from the Ocean of Energy.
At that moment, Lee Han’s mana moved and was consumed. The devoted magic power has disappeared.
‘As expected, nothing happened.’
Although nothing happened, Lee Han was not disappointed.
Because this was normal.
Not all phenomena occurred as the wizard wished for something by consuming mana. The order and rules of the world were basically tougher and harder than the wizard’s will.
Still, Lee Han was conscious of Sharukal’s gaze and devoted his magic a few more times.
Unlike other wizards, it doesn’t matter much if you waste magic anyway…
Wriggle.
Sharukal’s eyes widened.
I began to feel a strange magic power different from the normal magic power in Lee Han’s body.
Magical power that any priest can understand.
It was divine power.
“Exactly!! That’s it!! Han Lee! As expected, true faith in Agltakwa was deep in his heart! more! Pray more! That’s the beginning… wait. Why are you all coming this way?!”
Sharukal realized the gaze from behind and shouted hastily.
The Priests of the Phoenix Tower had come and looked very nervous.
