“Positive rules? In fact, it is well understood that a mature position is like a large house with a master, the creator is the owner of a large house, the god with a priesthood is the manager of all aspects, some is responsible for regular sprinkling (rain), some is responsible for staff, household rotation (rotation), if you create a job, make this mansion work better, and get the approval of the owner, nature becomes a god, and as long as this house is still there, you are naturally immortal. —— The Game of Space and Time (Volume 3: The Unsolved Mystery of the World) BY Thrace. Solomon.”

Known as the greatest master of space, Master Thrace, his understanding of space and time laid the foundation for the study of the land of magicians in these two cutting-edge areas, but when the first volume of time and the second volume of space became compulsory lessons for all magicians studying space, time, facade summoning, illusion, etc., the third volume allowed their evaluation to decline rapidly, making them directly from wise masters to the best mad magicians in history.

As to whether he was telling the truth or not, it was not known whether the assassins sent by the Church had really killed one of the most powerful wizards in the world, but the old wizard had not appeared in the world for more than 300 years.

Now, the third volume can only be found in the circles of the old magicians. After all, he makes the mysteries of the gods too common and easy to understand, and faith and vision need to be far enough away, and it is difficult for anyone to make the guy around him who eats and hiccups and sleeps and farts into fanatical faith, even if he is indeed a god, maybe that's another way of saying that yearning is the furthest from reality.

Although the magicians have never had faith in the gods, but at least they know the weight, knowledge is power, but some things themselves are clear enough, and before they break with the gods, there is no need to do too much. Knowledge about positions, time, order, priesthood, etc. is basically a patent that the archmages can access.

And for the rules of the table, in that forbidden third volume, Grandpa Thrace actually had a more direct explanation.

“Normally, the true nature of the gods cannot reach the world of Ash, but can only remotely control their followers and incarnations for indirect command, because the owners do not have the authority to invite these guys in, fearing that these powerful, rough-handed guys will break the furniture and beat the servants. But in one particular case, the divine means of interfering in the world would be more direct: in a particular world, all restrictions would be lifted, and outsiders would have easy access to the house, and even those 'butlers' would be able to act at will. Yes, it's called jihad.”

“And according to the data we have gathered over the years, the rise and fall of the elemental tide has gone beyond what mortals and gods can grasp, more like an exchange mechanism between the Ash and the Four Elemental Dimensions, which, in this period of high tide of elemental tides, seems to be updating, alternating what, perhaps, is a replacement mechanism for the world itself. Well, I don't have proof, it's just speculation, but every new species, new minerals, new plants, new animals that emerged after the jihad seemed to prove my theory. ”

“In jihad, the previous generation of world dominance had a high chance of defeat, or mass deaths that were not enough to dominate the world, and their survivors had a strange natural reduction in fertility. On the other hand, the entire intelligent creature will die 95 percent, and after the end of the jihad, the new dominant race will usher in the birth of a new generation, and the living space left by the other creatures will become their home, as if it were a planned prize to be given to the victor. The best proof of my assertion is not just that we humans were born in the aftermath of the last war, but that the elves were born in large numbers after the jihad before they won, and that they were a famous low-born race, and after the last jihad they had a lower birth rate by an order of magnitude. ”

“ ……. If you look back, it's like jihad has become the growth that the world has to go through, and we humans are just sacrifices, and we're not the owners of this house, we're a short-term tenant, and ultimately we have to give the keys to the next tenant. No, if my theory is correct, even the so-called High and High God is nothing more than a more advanced sacrifice, perhaps a consumable. ”

“… all our lives and species are part and parcel of this world. The underworld river continues to flow, and the demons and demons will never end. As long as the pillars of heaven remain in existence for a day, all beings will believe in God, yearn for a good belonging after their own death, and the gods of order will have endless sources of faith. But such a powerful, yet too restrictive, evil god on the side of chaos is, at least, dominated by the source of order. ”

When Roland read this, the first reaction wasn't "Ah, that's right," but "Incredible, this guy didn't disappear because he knew too much?” Then, after questioning others, he nodded when he learned that the archmage had indeed disappeared hundreds of years earlier. "That's right, that's how it should be. That's the end. ”

In the Land of Mages, the idea of Grand Mage Thrace was also regarded as too radical a statement. Since the third volume says "conjecture”, the whole text is even more unsupported conjecture and speculation, and naturally not many people believe it. Of course, it cannot spread, and most importantly, no one can gain strength and knowledge from such a theory, which is all conjecture.

But if it doesn't help at all, this third book has long been left in the library. The traditional magician, who has no interest in demonology and summoning, has gained many by-products in research, and has made amazing achievements in demonic summoning, top-level travel, etc.

“… then the blood festivals necessary for the so-called demons and demons to arrive in the world are also well explained. Those bloody rituals are often demanding, but the common denominator is that the more frightening the sacrifice is harvested before death, the more tragic it is, and according to my research on those rituals, the soul is not consumed, but disappears. There is a saying in the devil that 'the soul is the only common currency of the inferior’, so where is the 'currency’ obtained at the Blood Festival? I personally tend to pay for the abyss or the world itself, when I do the ‘toll’ and 'lodging' that make the devil exist for all eternity. In this regard, I have conducted a series of experiments and have obtained some results…”

The simple blood sacrifice kit, the unit of measure of the soul, and the communication method of the next inhabitants, the new demonic restraint law array introduced by the new theory, is simply a double transversal summons of the void of the drill surface rule. The research results of the old magician in this regard make countless demigod magicians and summoners uncompromising. The classic subjects and research results of their subjects are actually created by different magicians.

“What best supports my guess is that the lowest demons are weak, even weaker than ordinary beasts, and should never be restricted by the rules of position, but they must also be summoned to perform blood sacrifices, even if the practitioner's own blood, which is in total contradiction to the mainstream 'elemental tide restriction theory', according to which they should not be subject to any restriction. At the same time, dead spirits are very unpopular, but dead spirits are summoned from the realm of dead spirits and do not need blood sacrifices. Those inferior residents to the rest of the world are not that troublesome. Perhaps the Blood Festival itself is not important, even if he is just an application to enter a 'house', and what is required is the approval of world rules. So I have another guess..."

If the research ends, but if people continue to read the book, they will be amazed at how white it is. "Old man Thrace's disappearance is really what he asked for. This kind of nonsense to play with himself, he dared to write in the book. ”

What did he write? He wrote... the truth about Jihad!

“So, during the middle and late years of the jihad, don't even pay the devil to come to the world, that is, the owner of the house has invited the devil? So, let's think about why the gods and the sources of order as‘ homeowners' have invited them, what motivation do they have, and whether they want to win jihad or not. It is simply to see countless lives destroyed in jihad, and the entire world rotated in the destruction of war and in post-war reconstruction. ”

“… then perhaps it is not necessarily a good thing to be victorious in jihad, after all, they will often be the first sacrifice of the next jihad, or how can they gather so much soul currency? Perhaps these currencies are needed not only by the inferior residents, but also by those in heaven…"

Though a lot of fools these days, intelligent people will not be spared, especially those old antiques that have lived a long time, giving them endless knowledge, at least what the old dragons who have been able to remain 'neutral' in successive jihad absolutely know, but knowing that, whatever, Thrace not only said it, but also wrote it down, and apparently succeeded in death, it is worth mentioning that Thrace is Margaret's mentor's mentor, even these notorious writings were obtained by Margaret.

And for me at that time, there is such a "death vanguard”... cough, the venerable elder is really delightful, especially the fact that he has thrown a lot of his research success in the forbidden book, saving me a lot of trouble, even the idea of getting a front base as a summoning touch (issuing a face level invitation) was also deduced from his theory.

“... Well, the Lord summons the devil and the devil for a blood offering, whereas the devil does not need to be summoned elsewhere, but most fails, mainly because of the lack of oil and water elsewhere, and because the devil fears enslaving their traps. As for the main body, why not worry about a trap? The soul and flesh of the master makes these guys willing to take risks, and if they are just incarnations, they are even less threatening..."

In front of us is the giant Summoning Falls, which are more than tens of kilometers in square circles. This is the revised version of the Simple Falls of Thrace, and the white dragons who are flying in the sky are helping to draw.

The approval of the White Dragon is too good, such a legal battle is difficult to understand for ordinary people, but it is nothing to the Dragon Nation. If other dragons see it, I'm afraid they will know that the goal we summon does not exist in Ashworld, and the next inhabitants are the most unpopular type at all times.

“Summon the devil. Forget it. After all, the devil is reasonable in our plan. Summon the devil. What are you going to do? ”

Too ancient dragon Summer landed on the ground, and it had become the form of a snow elf.

Not far from that enormous summoning array, there is a slightly smaller array of arrays, and although his front coordinates are also lower, they are not the dwelling hell of the devil, but a layer of the infinite abyss.

“Oh, it's a private relationship to help. ”

“… this should be the direct domain of a demon lord above the count, are you sure they will reason with you instead of burning the fire of disaster on your head? ”

“… don't bother trying, she's trustworthy. She's the new Marquis of the Devil, and you probably don't know her even if I say her name. Besides, I don't look for her... The fire of calamity will surely burn on my head. ”

“The new Marquis of the Devil? The one in the fire? She and you...”

“... should be, probably, maybe, a girlfriend? ”

“How can you use a question? Oh, I see. The young man is amazing. You dare to fall in love with the devil. You're afraid she'll accidentally eat you. By the way, how tall is she, 300 meters or 400 meters, if the fire system should bring its own abyss demon flame, can she operate easily at such a young age? If there's a fire, can you afford it? ”

Summer looked at the warrior first, but then at the martyr's eyes, which made me a little overwhelmed, but by his cue, my vest started to sweat, and I seemed to have missed something.

Wait, if Eliza is here, she is the real Marquis of the Devil, not the temporary incarnation of an incomplete blood offering. Although a complete Marquis of the Devil can be a reliable force, if she intends to clean me up first, or accidentally step on me...

“Oops, you're still self-aware, no, you should say there's progress, knowing she'll take care of you? ”

“Dead cat, you still want to fall into stone... Otherwise, let's modify the formation, at least postpone it for a while, I'm not ready...”

And the black cat looked at the lit array over there and shook his head.

“It's too late, she's in a hurry, she's here. You're not ready to know, she's probably ready. ”
