When Mawei returned to the captain's cabin, Yunia had already fallen asleep under the quilt. Laiwen was sitting behind the nearly two-meter-wide desk, using the faint light of the kerosene lamp to read the dictionary with Fat Orange and Xiaohei.
Edward never used a bed to sleep, and I don't know why he abandoned the soft and comfortable mattress and had to turn into a bat and hang it from the ceiling. Maybe...
This is the habit of vampires.
Ma Wei didn't know either.
"Boss, you're back."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Laiwen raised his head, took off his glasses, rubbed his dazed head and asked, "How is the situation?"
"everything is normal."
Ma Wei gently closed the heavy iron door, sat down at the table, and glanced at the two bowls of suspicious soup in the corner, "Brother Sergei sent it?"
"Well, they said this is the cold-repelling soup from my hometown. It tastes a bit weird to warm up the body, but it's not bad. Meat and pumpkin are added to it. The goddess is not interested, so I left a bowl for you."
"I'm not hungry, just drink it all." Ma Wei took out a mint leaf, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said absently.
"I just looked through the window..."
Looking around, Laiwen lowered his voice: "I saw you and Her Royal Highness Katerina chatting for a long time on the bow of the ship. What were you talking about?"
"She said she had an informant planted by King Paul I and wanted to use this voyage to find out."
"What, is the mole on the ship?!"
"Not sure, but there is a high probability that they are not here." Ma Wei said: "Not to mention that these crew members were carefully selected by Katerina, just sailing at sea cannot convey the message, and if there is a situation, it is not possible to report it as soon as possible. It was prohibitive, so Katerina speculated that the mole was probably someone else."
"Then how did she use this voyage to find the other party?" The source wondered: "She is on the ship and she doesn't know what happened on the ground..."
"Not many people know about her coming to the Kingdom of Windsor. If the news leaks, wouldn't it be possible to determine the general scope?"
"So that's it..." Lai Wen nodded: "You shouldn't be able to talk about this for more than half an hour, right?"
"She also told me some secrets about magic."
Hearing this, Lai Wen suddenly became interested, and Fat Orange and Xiao Hei also cheered up and cast a glance.
"Among the classics preserved by the Apocalypse Church, there is a magic record copied by later generations. It is recorded in it that there are three main categories of magic."
Ma Wei said while chewing: "They are ancient magic, main god magic and natural magic. Generally speaking, they can be called universal, special and restricted magic."
"What's the meaning?"
"Ancient magic was developed and created by humans bit by bit. Since I don't know how many years ago, humans have begun to study mysticism and try to build magic circles. There are no restrictions on the use of these magics. They can be used as long as they have the gift of the gods."
Ma Wei put the Sapphire Siren's Tears on the table: "The Siren's Tears and the Heart of the Jungle you obtained should belong to the category of ancient magic. In addition to us, believers of the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny and the Church of Wisdom can also use it. This is the crystallization of human wisdom.”
"In order to preserve the magic for a long time and make better use...well, this belongs to the science of materials. In short, the sages integrated the magic array into gems or some precious objects to prevent damage."
Who would have trouble with Cai Bao?
For example, according to the text, he picked up an ordinary broken stone on the street and probably threw it into the corner. But if he picked up a bright and dazzling gem, he would definitely keep it properly.
Even after countless transactions and changes of ownership in the future, the probability of gems surviving is far higher than other worthless items.
This again belongs to probability and psychology issues.
"Where is the magic of the Lord God?" the message asked: "We have heard this name more than once."
"The magic of the main god is actually the magic that is born when the gods awaken." Ma Wei took out the gold ring that he took from Bishop Fowler's hand, "The realm of immortality is the main god magic of the goddess of health Wilder. Only the goddess of health and... Believers of her gifts can use them.”
"Awakening?"
Laiwen looked at Yunia, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and widened his eyes: "Can the goddess still awaken?"
"This is recorded in the classics, but the specific path and method of awakening are still unclear." Ma Wei sighed: "The magic records handwritten by later generations are not complete, and more than half of the pages are missing."
"Does it know something?" Laiwen raised his eyebrows at the bat hanging on the ceiling.
"You mean the Vampire Secret Code?" Ma Wei shook his head and said: "I asked before, the Vampire Secret Code records only things that are beneficial to the Vampire Clan, such as the methods that the enemy may use, the special magic of the Vampire Clan, and the awakening methods of human gods. How could it be recorded in it?"
"What about natural magic? I have never heard this name before."
"As the name suggests, natural magic is a giant magic circle activated by using terrain, stars or other special conditions. This kind of magic is usually born naturally and requires extremely large power to activate. It must also use specific flow directions and nodes to connect. Sometimes even if it is found Even if you find it, you may not be able to find it, and if you find it, you may not be able to use it normally.”
"Didn't the classics say where there is a natural magic circle?" The messenger blinked: "Such a powerful thing should be very powerful once it is activated!"
"It is certainly powerful, but the terrain of nature has been changing subtly. Maybe the natural magic that was normally used hundreds of years ago was destroyed because of a disaster. It is more powerful than stable."
Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "This information is extremely important to us. At least we can be sure that gods did exist an unknown number of years ago, but for some reason they fell silent again."
Recalling the murals they saw in the Black Castle of the Blood Clan, combined with the classics preserved by the Apocalypse Sect, I dare not say anything else, but there must have been an era dominated by gods. This is beyond doubt.
"How could a god be overthrown if he is so powerful?" The source asked in wonder: "Could it be the power of science? But hundreds and thousands of years ago, there was not even a steam engine, so how could a god be defeated?"
"Alchemy..." Ma Wei suddenly said.
"What?"
Lai Wen was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew about alchemy, an extremely ancient mystical field, but could alchemy compete with the gods?
"Alchemy is the concentration of human wisdom... This is just my speculation, I am not sure." Ma Wei thought: "As far as I know, alchemy includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials and even philosophy, spirit, Dozens of complex subjects such as language, if you bring these things together, and then use the gift of the gods... maybe you can really exert a special and powerful power."
Alchemy is just a name for mysticism. In the course of history, similar cultural crystallizations exist in various parts of the world and in various countries. They are complex and magnificent, and are a field that is beyond the reach of most people.
Since they have existed and been passed down to this day, it means that they occupy a high enough historical and cultural status and have played an indelible role in human development.
Even what people call science now, isn’t it also subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.?
Looking at the essence through appearances, the most different thing between science and alchemy is that science has no mysterious and mysterious things. It is all analysis and calculation, but these missing, mysterious and mysterious things...
Isn’t that what their world has?
