Vol 4 Chapter 49: Sanctuary Secrets

Xiuyi has never believed in such things as gods. He has always believed that the gods are the products of human self-illusion, and the hope of an empty, helpless soul.
It does not exist, but it is mysterious because it does not exist, and it appears tall.
It is born of human fantasy, so it is a manifestation of human self-adoration and pinning hope on the unknown.
Even in the magic world, everything is unreasonable and has its reason. But the god, Xiu Yi couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.
This was called Isador; Naper even told him that the gods of the Scourge Church really existed, which made Xiuyi feel incredible. If the other person is not a character who has stepped into the sanctuary, Xiu Yi will sniff. The problem is that many times the weight of the discourse depends first on the person who speaks, not the discourse itself, so Xiu Yi didn't dare to talk nonsense at random, and could only repeat: "A real god?"
"Yes." Elder Isador; Naper nodded surely: "The Scourge Church was established under the guidance of the gods, and the gods told us that one day, sooner or later, the devil will invade here."
"It sounds incredible."
"If you don't believe it, you can take a trip to the south continent, and I can help you communicate with the gods."
"Wait for a chance." Xiuyi thought for a while and said, "I care more about the outcome of the veterans' meeting."
"The deal." Elder Isador; Naper said very refreshingly: "We will send three animal trainers to the North Continent immediately, along with 40 knights and wizards of the Scourge Church."
"Does Nightmare Ma Xiazi need so much care?"
"It's just a necessary protective measure. To some extent, the Nightmare Horse is loaned to you. As the owner, we need to take care of the Nightmare Horse to ensure that you will not use it in dangerous situations. . "
"But then, isn't my action under your surveillance?"
"Shuegler, please don't think that we are watching you. In fact, you might consider this as a way of cooperation. If you are in danger, our people will also help you. When necessary, you even You can use them as your combat power, of course, provided that you do not put them in too dangerous a position. "
"It sounds pretty good, but I'm afraid it's not as good as you said." According to Yuan Jiechang Isador; Naper means that the group of people that will be sent will not only guarantee the safety of the nightmare horses, but also accept repairs. The dispatch of Yi. How powerful the Scourge Church is, just look at Keith to know. The ability to have up to forty church knights and wizards coming to their side is definitely a skyrocketing force. The only question is whether they can control them.
"Shuegelaar, please relax your alert. From the moment the Scourge Church concludes a deal with you, you have been our ally. For our allies, we will never hesitate. The same reason, between us There will not be only these three transactions. I believe that with your ability and your magic weapon, it can help us in many cases. For example, in some necessary occasions, when we need a real magic weapon to appear, We can ask for your help. In addition, you are still an alchemist, and the Scourge Church is also interested in some alchemy in your hands, such as teleportation. "
"I won't sell how it's made."
"But you can make it for us, right? For example, teleporting from the south to the north continent, that will save us a lot of time." Elder Isador, Naper smiled.
Xiuyi thought about it and nodded: "You're right, but I still want to remind you again, Lord Elder, I am not a believer in the Scourge Church, but your ally. Your people can come to me, but they You must obey my orders. "
"As long as it is not against the interests of the church or let them die in vain, they will obey. If there is a dispute, you can notify us through a messenger crystal and the patriarch will make a decision. At the same time, the Scourge Church swears in the name of the gods, regardless of future What, the Church Knights will not reveal everything about you. "
"Very good, sincerity is the biggest foundation for cooperation, I believe we will cooperate happily in the future." Xiu Yi was satisfied.
Three deals were finalized.
After discussing the specific details, Xiu Yi suddenly thought of a problem.
"Master Isador, I have a question for you. I wonder if it is convenient for you to answer?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"First of all, are you a sanctuary?"
"Yes."
"Always, there are many legends about the power of the sanctuary, but no one has ever known what the sanctuary is all about. Compared to the ordinary strong, where is the sanctuary really powerful? There are different opinions, but there is no unity. The answer? Honestly, I would also like to know about this. "
For Xiu Yi, if he only thought about revenge on the empire, then with the alliance with the Franks, the attitude of the Reims empire softened, the matter of revenge has come to an end, and it has to be replaced, That is how to be as strong as possible.
What is Sanctuary? Why is every sanctuary so secretive? This is a question that Xiu Yi has always wanted to figure out.
He had tried to find the secret by searching the trajectory Lancelot followed, but Christine's people had not found any clues until now.
God's intentions made him meet the elders of the Scourge Church. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to understand the inside story, I am afraid he will lose it in the future. Judging by the current situation, Isador; Naper valued himself. Xiuyi does not guarantee that the other party will definitely answer this question, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he will be killed because of contraindications.
Sure enough, Isador; Naper obviously hesitated.
"Mr. Elder, I really want to know the answer. Because I may have a sanctuary in my future hands," Xiuyi said seriously.
Isador; Naper nodded and replied in an old, deep tone: "Actually, it's not a big secret, repair Iglell, if I tell you, the real combat power of a sanctuary, Or compared to a seventh-grade division, there is not much difference, would you be surprised? "
Xiu immediately stagnates.
Ranks have always been an important criterion for judging strength. Although Xiu Yi himself has had an example of beating the opponent, that does not mean that he can easily cross the level limit. In fact, the higher he goes, the greater the level difference.
Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to increase the level of samurai below four levels, and each time the samurai increases one level, the strength will double.
From level four to level seven, it is relatively difficult to improve the level, and the increase in strength will be about three times.
At level seven or higher, each level increase is almost equal to four to five times the strength.
Therefore, a sky warrior can easily deal with four to five earth warriors, or twenty marine warriors. As for a fifth-level warrior like Xiuyi, it is not a problem to deal with one or two hundred warriors. The gap between the two sides can be seen from this.
Xiuyi was able to win Kevin Bears at first, saying plainly because he was not just a samurai, but also a mage. In addition, you must join the battle with the magic dragon, guardian nightmare, alchemy, diamond doll, memory gem ring, and Lilith's devotion. In fact, each of these assistances is much stronger than Xiu itself. In the end, the devotion of demonstration directly improved Xiuyi to the strength of the seventh-level warrior, and thus laid the foundation for victory. Even so, Xiuyi won a dangerous victory.
However, at the level of the star warrior, this gap in strength has been enlarged again. A star warrior can deal with seven or eight sky warriors alone, and the strength is already extremely terrifying.
A star warrior like Hampton is an army on the battlefield. Unless he is caught in the ocean of thousands of people, he can come and go freely.
Therefore, in Xiuyi's knowledge, the strength of the sacred domain might be as strong as ten star warriors.
But now, Isador; Naper tells him that the real strength of the sanctuary is not much different from the star warrior or the seventh-level mage.
This was something he couldn't figure out.
"I don't understand why."
"The reason is simple, because the strength has reached its limit." Isador; Naiper solemnly said: "The samurai is the pinnacle of the development of human power, the seventh-level mage can release the magic of manipulating the power of heaven and earth.
"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, no more."
"But can't the bowl be turned into a bucket through cultivation?"
Isador; Naper grinned: "If the bowl can turn into a bucket, is it still human?"
Xiu Yi was shocked.
Isador; Naper said earnestly: "If the bowl can be turned into a bucket, then man is not human, but God. The sanctuary is still human, so the bowl will not become a bucket, but after becoming a sanctuary, we Has a new power. "
"New power?"
"Yes, new power. After becoming a sanctuary, we can still cultivate, but the power can no longer remain in the body, but it overflows automatically. This overflowing power is like the water on the mountain top, flowing down. A waterfall is formed in it. Power is generated in a new environment, feeling the heavens and the earth, combining with itself, and finally forming a new power, which is ... the field. "
"field?"
"Yes, the new power formed by the overflowing power after exercise is called the realm power, also known as the law power." Isador; Naper grinned: "In fact, this is the reason for the sanctuary. This is the reason for the sanctuary. With the power of the domain, we can exert our strength to a greater extent. "
With Isador; Naper's elaboration, Xiuyi gradually learned the secrets of the realm.
It turns out that domain power is not generated for no reason. It is a qualitative change produced by the sacred strongmen by quantitative changes after their strength has reached its peak. This qualitative change allows the sanctuary to create its own realm of laws within a certain range.
The law is fundamental to the survival of everything. It's as if the sun is going to rise early, the moon only appears at night, spring is the season for sowing, and autumn is the time for harvest. This law is the law of the earth and cannot be changed by anyone. Even if a magician can forcibly reverse through magic to let the flowers open in winter, he only changed this flower, not the laws of the area.
Domain power is the power of the powerful to formulate new rules within the scope of their influence. Time can be reversed, space can be reversed, the dead be reborn, and the living eternal.
Sounds amazing, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, things are not that simple.
As Isador; Naper said, it is a qualitative change caused by spilled forces. In other words, it is not in the bowl and therefore is not subject to the absolute restraint of the master of power. A samurai can manipulate the fighting spirit in his body at will, but he cannot do so to the power of the field.
One of the most obvious is that no matter what rules the sacred powers make, they must also abide by the rules themselves.
"That is to say, the strong men in the sanctuary have the ability to change all the rules of existence of the surrounding things when they are fighting against people, but the problem is that they cannot escape the rules themselves and are also restricted by the rules after the change. Is this true? "Xiu Yi quickly caught Isador; the key in Naper's words.
"To be precise, it cannot be detached easily."
"I think I understand. It's like an uprising, a revolution, new heroes 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 himself, and occasionally can use his power to break the rules forcibly, but the consequences of forcibly breaking will inevitably have a harmful effect on himself. "
"That's right, smart boy." Isador; Naper clapped his hands and laughed: "The only difference is that if the sanctuary breaks the rules by itself, it will immediately suffer severe backlash, the cost is high, The consequences are greater than the occasional use of privilege by the Lord of a country. "
"So, the real power of the sanctuary ..." Xiu Yi lowered her head for a moment, then raised her head with certainty: "It's about making rules that are good for you. For example, a samurai sanctuary can be in its own The law of prohibiting all magic is formulated in the realm. Because it is the realm of law, it is supreme, and no one can break any artifact. In this way, I am afraid that the world ’s divisions will be concentrated, and it will not be enough for a holy warrior to slaughter. "Well, although you ca n’t break the rules yourself, the sanctuary is already invincible in terms of just making rules that are in your favor."
"That's it. But things are not that simple. There are also differences in coverage. The law of forbidden magic belongs to the law of high coverage, which requires that all magic can not be used, and the power of the domain is very large. And it is only for magicians. The effect, if there is no meaning to the samurai. So most of the sanctuary will not choose the area of ​​banning magic or fighting spirit. For the sanctuary, it is much more practical to formulate a low coverage law for its own weaknesses. Such as prohibiting the use of certain single spells, or prohibiting combat skills or prohibiting certain fighting methods, etc. "
"It turned out that no wonder the holy realms were never willing to let others know the secrets of the realm."
"Once a realm is created, you must formulate rules for it. Once the rules are formulated, they cannot easily be changed. Therefore, the legal realms of each sanctuary are also different. These legal realms can protect themselves and enhance their strength to the greatest extent, but the same It is inevitable that there will be loopholes. Especially in the area of ​​low coverage laws, there will inevitably be loopholes. If it is known, it will likely be targeted at such loopholes. In this way, even the sanctuary will be defeated. So You can know what the realm is, but you never want to know what rules a certain sanctuary has formulated for your own legal realm. Unless you survive the battle with him. "
For example Lancelot, Xiuyi thought.
He finally understood why Lancelot was able to survive the hands of that sanctuary.
The sanctuary of the Barnister family is a samurai sanctuary. Eighty percent of the ruled area of ​​this samurai sanctuary may be a low-coverage area, and it is likely that it will not have much impact on a samurai like Lancelot. And the power of the sanctuary itself is more powerful and limited than the strong stars.
So although Lancelot was defeated, he was able to survive.
If he is challenging a magical sanctuary and the opponent has a rule area that prohibits combat skills or combat restrictions, Lancelot doesn't even want to leave alive. No one can break away from the rules of the field, not even the sanctuary of the manufacturing field itself.
The so-called sacred realm is quite simple. After the sacred realms have the power to formulate rules, they can create a battle field that is most suitable for them. But it's just as much as possible, it can't be effective against all opponents.
According to Isador; Naper, the use of the realm consumes realm power. This kind of domain power is born because of the qualitative change of the overflowing power of the holy realms, so it is not easy to generate it. Therefore, the strong men in Sanctuary also need to cultivate, but they cultivate the field, accumulate enough field power as much as possible, so that the field power can be maintained for a long enough time, and also try to choose the law that consumes less field power. After formulating, after all, the broader the coverage of the rule and the larger the area, the greater the power consumed in the field. It is also not easy to use field power at unnecessary times.
"Isado; Elder Naper, I'm glad you told me about it, it unlocked a confusion in my mind." Xiu bowed to Isador; Naper bowed.
"You're welcome, Hugh Igle, I hope you understand that even the realm itself is a secret. You must know that every sanctuary will inevitably have enemies. If the secret of the realm is spread, many people will Try to find a way to defeat the sanctuary. Even if a sanctuary doesn't tell others what its own domain laws are, that doesn't mean it can't be guessed. The enemy is often the person who knows you best. As long as you know the meaning of the domain, often You can guess for yourself what the domain rules of the other are likely to be. Once they are made public, the holy realms will face endless troubles. "
"I understand. It's like you are a magical sanctuary. For most magicians, they are never afraid to face countless enemies, but they are very worried about one or two samurai strongmen. So I can guess, Most of the rule areas you have developed are also aimed at samurai. In this way, what really threatens you, except for the sanctuary, is probably other magicians. And if you choose a low-cover area, and it will be Guess what the rules are, so even a samurai can be a threat to you. "
Isador; Naper grinned: "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 it out ... Although I may not be afraid, but It will cause some trouble for me. "
"I am now grateful to you, Isador; Elder Naper, you can tell me such a big secret. No wonder the sanctuary will make it a secret and never reveal the secrets of the field."
"There is no secret in this world that will never be leaked, but anyone who knows the inside story knows how to control his mouth."
"You are right, His Excellency the Elder, and I do not intend to make an exception on this issue."
"I believe in you, Hugh Iglell. Although you are young, your talents are very mature."
"Then the elder elder, if the two sacred areas meet, what will happen if the two areas collide?"
"Different or the same nature, coexist. Opposite nature, cancel."
"Last question, is there a strong man in the sacred land that can break away from the restrictions imposed by the rules of the realm?"
Isador; Naper groaned for a while, shaking his head and saying, "I haven't heard of it. If there is, it's also ... above the sanctuary."
It ’s late again, and the update is late. Sorry. !! ~!
