After returning to Cecil City, Gao Wen immediately found Carmier who was tossing a small arcane focuser in the Institute of Magic Technology, and found Nicholas eggs that were studying the gearbox in the Institute of Mechanical Manufacturing. Three people (strictly speaking, a satellite spirit, an LED spirit, and an iron ball star man) gathered in the cutting-edge laboratory built by Rebecca, studying the crystal that remained after Franbergan's death.

The crystal was still emitting a slight light. Although it had been left for several days, it still emitted a little heat. When I put the crystal in my ears, I could vaguely hear some vague sounds, as if it was a resonant sound, or a painful murmur.

Carmire held the crystal into the air with his energy-shaping hand, carefully observed its shape under the light, and occasionally used a small Olympiad flame to stimulate the surface of the crystal, sensing the energy reading it conveyed.

Gao Wen paid attention to Carmier's work and asked curiously: "How is it? Can you see any clues?"

"In terms of form, it is indeed very close to the crystal growths on the early product of the failure of the god evil... The energy reaction is slightly different, perhaps because of the interference of the power of the holy light..." Carmier placed the crystal on the experimental bench in front of him and began to use the crystal resonator to detect its subtle structure. "In short, I have to observe carefully before I can draw a conclusion. The collection process is too rough, and the internal magic balance has been severely damaged."

Gao Wen was a little embarrassed: "This collection process... may be a bit rough."

Carmire asked casually: "How did it collect it?"

"It was blown down with a howitzer..." Gao Wen coughed dryly, "Ahem, strictly speaking, there is only so much left after the blow-up..."

Carmire's movements suddenly stiffened in the air, and Nicholas Egg floating beside him exclaimed: "Mom,"

"The situation is special, it's a battle. The enemy will not stay where they are waiting for others to dig crystals on themselves," Gao Wen waved his hand and looked at the Iron Ball Star. "You have also come into contact with the evil spirits back then. Do you think this kind of crystal is the same as those experimental bodies?"

"I was mainly studied back then and didn't have much contact with the details of the project," Nicholas Egg shook her body and said in a serious tone, but then he continued, "But if you don't mind losing a part of the sample... I can do a destructive analysis of it."

Gao Wen looked at the crystal sample fixed in the center of the crystal resonator. It was slightly smaller than the slap, with uneven edges, and cracked in some places: "How many samples do you need?"

"Just a little bit, just be as big as a fingernail."

Gao Wen looked at Carmier again: "Will cutting this sample affect its stability in its properties?"

"You all bombed with howitzers and asked me about this?"

Gao Wen: "...then cut it down."

The texture of the crystal was not very hard. The assistant in the laboratory quickly completed the cutting. Then a small piece of the sample that was cut was sent to Nicholas egg. Under Gao Wen's curious gaze, the iron ball star first carefully touched the sample with his round body, and then he was directly sucked on him and quickly absorbed it into his body.

Not to mention Gao Wen, even Carmier was shocked: "You ate it...?!"

"Just analyze the ingredients, of course, it's considered eating," a buzzing sound from Nicholas's egg. "When I was researched, I tried most of the substances I could touch around in order to understand my environment, and by chance I tried the crystal crumbs on the body of the gods. I could tell the slight difference in the subtle ingredients of these things..."

The Iron Ball Star took all this for granted. Gao Wen could only sigh in his heart that the world was so great that it was indeed amazing. This was probably the most hardcore "taste" he had ever seen in his two lives...

Just as he began to worry about whether Nicholas's habit of picking up food and eating food would hurt his stomach, the Iron Ball Star finally spoke: "This thing... seems to be a product of the evil spirit. At least the ingredients are completely consistent."

The remaining crystals of Franberg are indeed the creatures of the gods. Bishop Luan actually activated the genetic factor of the gods in his body?

Although he had some inferences in his mind, Gao Wen couldn't help but be surprised after the evidence was conclusive. However, he quickly controlled his surprise and looked at Carmier: "Can the descendants of Gondor who used stable genetic factors become out of control under the conditions of appropriate conditions?"

Although Carmier had no expression, his whole body was already clear and his tone became particularly serious: "It is impossible in theory! Although we did merge the divine cells and human cells of Julu Amoen by rewriting the genetic factors, the out-of-control of the divine evil is not entirely due to the genetic factors, but because the divine precipitation and out-of-control crystals that grow from flesh and blood are actually produced after the precipitation of the "divine" power that cannot be controlled by humans, and this part of the divine nature is because of our skills.

The level of technique is insufficient, and the divine nature cannot be completely filtered when the genetic factors are combined, which leads to them contaminating the experimental subject. After we improved the filtering technology, completely cleared the divine power that humans cannot control and made a stable injection, which ensures that the vaccinator can survive stably. In other words, as long as they are surviving human descendants, the genetic factors that their ancestors have inoculated must be "clean". As long as there is no divine lurking in their bodies, it is impossible for them to generate any divine power on their own..."

Carmire's explanation is full of professional terms that are too difficult for people of this era, but Gao Wen can easily understand the other party's meaning. The reason why the divine evil spirits will be flesh. The body collapses and crystals grows because there is an uncontrollable divinity in the body. As long as the descendants of Gondor who have not collapsed and survived, there is definitely no such "divine pollution" in the body. Moreover, with the physique of mortals, it is impossible to produce this divine pollution on its own, even if it has been vaccinated with the genetic factors of Amoen of the Giant Deer.

So... Why did Franberg appear in a state of "pollution"? Who polluted him? Or... Where did the "divine" that polluted him come from?!

When he thought of the possibility behind this, Gao Wen's expression couldn't help but become serious.

"We have no idea what happened in the prayer room of Luan Cathedral when the White Knights rushed into the church area, but there is no doubt that Franbergan was polluted by divine origin during that time, the evil elements in his body were activated, and he himself became a monster composed of the fusion of flesh and crystals," Carmire analyzed seriously. "Considering that he is a fanatical believer of the God of Holy Light, and considering what he might do in the prayer room, there may be only one answer..."

"The God of Holy Light threw a stroke to the southern border..." Gao Wen took over Carmier's words, "and this stroke directly twisted Franberon into a monster."

General Nicholas Egg: "…Mahhh."

However, despite such a terrifying guess, Gao Wen was still full of confusion: "If it were really that the God of Light had arrived in Lu'an for a brief time... How could He watch the Cathedral be broken? How could the power it descended could not even resist a small team of white knights who had just completed the training? Even if Wright and Amber were present at that time... the power of their two people could not compete with God, right?"

Kamair, who had studied the power of gods for thousands of years, fell into thought. After a moment, he began to talk about his guess: "Based on our summary and analysis of the laws of gods back then, gods seem to be... a very logical and regular existence."

"What's the meaning?"

"The power of the gods is far superior to that of the mortals, but they rarely directly help or harm any mortal individual. They will only strictly follow a certain law, lower their strength through prayer rituals, blessings, and revelation, or lower a very vague will for mortals to guess. When a mortal individual directly violates the rules of a specific ritual, they will reduce divine punishment, but on the other hand, believers or unbelievers who are hostile to the gods will not be punished by God even if they never live according to the doctrine... This may indicate that it is extremely difficult for the gods to directly interfere in our world. Even if they are as powerful as them, they must follow some strict laws to act..."

Listening to Carmier's description, Gao Wen couldn't help but look thoughtful: "This sounds like some kind of automatic response logic machine..."

"To be honest, in the Spark Age, many scholars who studied theology also had this kind of speculation," Kamier's color gradually changed back to a calm and wise light blue. He recalled and responded to Gao Wen's conjecture. "There are even a group of radical scholars who believe that the essence of gods is an automatic system of unknown origin. They operate automatically like a response mechanism, managing huge divine energy, and distribute energy according to the needs of mortals... just like an artificial intelligence array responsible for distributing magic power around the deep blue reaction tower."

Gao Wen didn't expect that in this world there would be a group of scholars who could make such radical assumptions. Although considering the civilization height of the Gondor Empire in the past, it was not unimaginable that some scholars would conduct such extreme research, he was still curious about the outcome of such a group of people who dared to study the essence of gods in a world where there was a god. After all, according to Carmier's tone, those people did not seem to be members of the "disobedience" plan: "The ideas of these scholars are interesting, where did their research go later?"

"The funding was not approved in the second year, so I switched to selling aquatic products..." Carmier sighed, "I originally thought they would be selected to disobey the plan..."

Gao Wen: "???"

Fortunately, Carmier was not too immersed in his memories, and he soon returned to the topic: "This radical research is unimaginable in today's era, but the Gondor people in the Spark Age are proud and fearless. The overly developed magic technology and sufficient resources give scholars the opportunity to do such a rebellious thing. If it weren't for this foundation, the "disobedience" plan would not have been built. But it was precisely because of participating in the rebellious plan that I can be sure that gods are by no means as simple as the so-called "automatic response mechanism."

Gao Wen thought for a while and then knew what Carmier meant: "Is it because you saw Amoen, the Giant Lu?"

"Yes, Amoen, a tangible, flesh-and-blood god. Although He has fallen, based on the analysis of the remains, we believe that He is wise, He can think and act independently, so we tend to think that God is an existence with high wisdom and strictly following certain 'rules' to act... Perhaps it is their 'racial characteristics' to act strictly according to the rules."

Gao Wen listened quietly to Carmier's story, and his eyes fell on the "Sheng Crystal" on the lab.

It took him a long time to break the silence: "That is to say, according to the 'rules' strictly abide by the God of Light, even the civilians' attack on the cathedral is not a real 'blasphemy'?"

"We can only guess this."

There doesn't seem to be any further progress.

Although Gao Wen wanted to understand the essence of the gods, their laws of action and their limitations, the facts were right in front of him: he did not have enough ways to fully understand the secrets in this regard.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the God of Light may have "contacted" Franberg and "contacted" Luan Cathedral at some point, but He did not pay attention to what was happening on this land in the end.
