Chapter 49: The Secret of the Sanctuary
Xiu Yi has never believed in things like gods. He has always believed that gods are the product of human self-fantasy and the place where hopes are placed for the empty and helpless minds.
It does not exist, but it is mysterious and tall because it does not exist.
It is born from human fantasy, so it is a manifestation of human self-worship and placing hope on the unknown.
Even in the magic world, everything is unreasonable, but the gods, Xiu Yi really can't think of any reasonable explanation.
This is called Isador; Naper actually told him that the gods of the Scourge Church really existed, which made Xiu Yi unbelievable. If the other party was not a person who entered the holy realm, Xiu Yi would sneer. The problem is that in many cases, the weight of the words depends first on the person who spoke, not the words themselves, so Xiu Yi did not dare to say that the other party was talking nonsense, and could only repeat: "The real god?"
"Yes." The elder Isador; Naper nodded with certainty: "The Church of the Scourge was established under the guidance of the gods. It was the gods who told us that sooner or later, the demon world will invade here."
“Sounds incredible.”
"If you don't believe it, you can take a trip to the Southern Continent. I can help you communicate with the gods."
"Wait until you have a chance." Xiuyi thought for a while and said, "I am more concerned about the outcome of the transaction of the Elders."
"Trade." The elder elder Isador; Naper said very readily: "We will send three beast trainers to the Northern Continent immediately, and forty knights and mages from the Scourge Church."
"Does the Nightmare Male need so many people to take care of?"
"It's just a necessary protection. To some extent, the Nightmare Horse is rented to you. As the owner, it's necessary for us to take care of the Nightmare Horse to ensure that you won't use it in dangerous situations."
"But in this way, will my actions be under your surveillance?"
"Shuyglair, please don't think we are monitoring you. In fact, you might as well regard this as a way of cooperation. If you are in danger, our people will also help you. You can even use them as your combat power when necessary, of course, provided that you cannot put them in a situation that is too dangerous."
"It sounds pretty good, I'm afraid it's not as good as you said." According to the Yuan Prison Isador and Naper, the group of people who are about to be sent will not only ensure the safety of the Nightmare Horse, but will also accept the dispatch of Xiuyi. How powerful the Scourge Church has is, you can tell by just looking at Kiss. Being able to have up to forty church knights and mages come to him is definitely a surge in power. The only question is whether he can control them.
"Shuyglair, please relax your vigilance. From the moment the Scourge Church reached a deal with you, you have become our ally. We will never be stingy with allies. By the same token, there will be no only these three transactions between us. I believe that with your ability and with your magic weapon in your hand, you can help us in many cases. For example, when we need real magic weapons to appear, we can seek your help. In addition, you are also an alchemist, and the Scourge Church is also very interested in some alchemy in your hands, such as teleportation arrays."
“I won’t sell how it is made.”
"But you can make it for us, right? For example, teleportation from the Southern Continent to the Northern Continent can save us a lot of time." Elder Isador; Naper smiled.
Xiuyi thought for a while and nodded: "You are right, but I still want to remind you again, Lord Senator, I am not a believer of the Scourge Church, but just your ally. Your people can come to me, but they must obey my command."
"As long as it is not a matter of harming the interests of the church, or for them to die for nothing, they will obey. If there is any dispute, you can notify us by sending the crystal, and the Senate will make a decision. At the same time, the Scourge Church swears in the name of the gods that no matter what the future holds, the church knights will not disclose everything about you."
"Very good, sincerity is the greatest foundation of cooperation. I believe we will cooperate happily in the future." Xiu Yi said with satisfaction.
Three transactions were finalized.
After the specific details were agreed, Xiu Yi suddenly thought of a question.
"Master Issado, I have a question I would like to ask you, but I wonder if it is convenient for you to answer?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"First of all, are you a sanctuary, right?"
"Yes."
"There have always been many legends about the power of the Holy Realm, but no one has ever known what the Holy Realm is. Compared with ordinary strong people, there are many different opinions on where the Holy Realm is powerful, but there is no unified answer? To be honest, I also want to know about this."
For Shuyi, if he had only thought about how to avenge the empire before, then with the alliance with the Francks and the attitude of the Lance Empire softened, the revenge had come to an end, and the need to replace it was to strengthen himself as much as possible.
What exactly is the Holy Land? Why does every Holy Land so cherish the secret? This is a question that Xiu Yi always wanted to figure out.
He once tried to find the secret by searching for the trajectory Lancelot walked, but Christine's men have not yet found any clues.
By God's will, he made him meet the elders of the God of Disaster Church. If he didn't seize the opportunity to understand the inside story, he would probably lose the opportunity in the future. Judging from the current situation, Isador; Naper attaches great importance to himself. Xiu Yi does not guarantee that the other party will definitely answer this question, but it is absolutely impossible to kill himself because he touches the taboo.
Sure enough, Isador; Naper hesitated clearly.
"Sir Elder, I really want to know the answer. Because there may be a holy land among my future opponents." Xiu Yi said seriously.
Isador; Naper nodded and replied in a deep tone of old and old voice: "Actually, it's not a big secret. Shuiglare, if I tell you that the real combat power of a sacred realm is actually not much different from a Star Warrior or a Level 7 master, would you be surprised?"
Xiu Yi was stunned immediately.
Level has always been an important criterion for judging strength. Although Xiu Yi himself has ever had an example of defeating his opponents above level, that does not mean that he can easily overcome the level limit. In fact, the higher he goes, the greater the level difference.
Generally speaking, samurai below level 4 will be more relaxed to improve the level, and every time the samurai is upgraded, its strength will double.
From level 4 to level 7, it is relatively difficult to improve the level, and the strength growth will increase to about three times.
At level 7 or above, every level of improvement is about four to five times the strength increase.
Therefore, a sky warrior can easily deal with four to five earth warriors, or twenty marine warriors. As for level five warriors like Shuyi, dealing with one or two hundred is not a problem. The huge gap between the two sides can be seen from this.
To put it bluntly, Xiu Yi was able to beat Kevin Beals because he was not a simple warrior, but also a mage. In addition, he also had to add magic dragons, guardian nightmare, alchemy, Vajra puppet, memory gem ring and Lilith's dedication magic pattern joint battle. In fact, each of these auxiliary is much stronger than Xiu Yi himself. In the end, the dedication magic pattern directly upgraded Xiu Yi to the level seven warrior, laying the foundation for victory. Even so, Xiu Yi was extremely dangerous.
However, at the level of the Star Warrior, this strength gap has been amplified again. A Star Warrior can deal with seven or eight Sky Warriors alone, and his strength has become extremely terrifying.
Star warriors like Hampton are an army on the battlefield, and they can come and go freely unless they are trapped in a sea of thousands of troops.
Therefore, in Xiu Yi's understanding, the strength of the powerful people in the Holy Realm is probably as strong as that of ten star warriors.
But now, Isador; Naper told him that the real strength of the Holy Land is not much different from the Star Warrior or the Seventh-level Mage.
This was something that he couldn't understand.
"I don't understand why this is."
"The reason is very simple, because the power has reached its limit." Isador; Naper solemnly said: "The Star Warrior is the peak of the development of human power. The seventh-level mage can release the magic that controls the power of heaven and earth, and it has also reached its peak."
"I think there is no limit to strength."
"That's just a prejudice of mediocre people. How can power have no limit? We are all mortals, and mortals have their limits. It's like a bowl, the water is full, and no matter how much it is, it can't be put down."
"But can't the bowl be turned into a bucket through cultivation?"
Isador; Naper laughed: "If the bowl can be turned into a bucket, then is it still a human?"
Xiu Yi was stunned.
Isador; Naper said seriously: "If the bowl can be turned into a bucket, then the man is not a man, but a god. The holy realm is still a man, so the bowl will not become a bucket, but after becoming a holy realm, we have a new power."
"New power?"
"Yes, a new force. After becoming a holy realm, we can still practice, but the force can no longer be retained in our body, but it will automatically overflow. This overflowing force is like the water on the top of a mountain, forming a waterfall in the process of flowing down. The force is generated in a new environment, feeling the world, combining itself, and finally forming a new force, that is,...area."
"field?"
"Yes, the new force formed by the overflowing power after training is called domain power, also called law power." Isador; Naper laughed and said, "In fact, this is the reason why the holy realm is a holy realm. Under the influence of the domain power, we can exert our strength to a greater extent."
With Isador and Naper's explanation, Soui gradually understood the secrets of the field.
It turns out that the power of the domain is not generated for no reason. It is a qualitative change generated by quantitative change after the strength of the Sacred Domain has reached its peak. This qualitative change allows the Sacred Domain to create its own legal domain within a certain range.
Laws are the foundation for the survival of all things. It is like the sun rising in the morning, the moon only appears in the evening, spring is the season for sowing, and autumn is the period of harvest. This law is the law of the earth and cannot be changed by anyone. Even if a magician can forcefully reverse the flower through magic and let the flower bloom in winter, he will only change this flower, not the law of this region.
Domain power is the power of the strong to formulate new laws within the range they can influence. They can reverse time, reverse space, resurrect the dead, and make the living eternal.
It sounds amazing, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, things are not that simple.
Just as Isador; Naper said, it is a qualitative change caused by overflowing power. In other words, it is not in the bowl and is therefore not absolutely restricted by the master of power. A warrior can control the fighting spirit in his body at will, but he cannot be so comfortable with the power of the domain.
The most obvious point is that no matter what law the powerful people in the holy realm create, they themselves must abide by it.
"In other words, when the powerful people in the Holy Land have the ability to change all the laws of existence in the surrounding things when fighting with people, but the problem is that they themselves cannot transcend the laws and are also restricted by the laws after the change. Is that true?" Xiu Yi quickly captured Isador; the key in Naper's words.
“To be precise, it cannot be easily transcended.”
"I think I understand. It's like an uprising, a revolution, where a new hero defeats the old country and establishes a new order. But the new order also restricts 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 he can use the power in his hands to force the law, but the consequences of forcibly breaking will inevitably have harmful effects on himself."
"That's right, smart kid." Isador; Naper clapped his hands and laughed: "The only difference is that if the Sanctuary breaks the law itself, it will immediately suffer a serious backlash, and the cost is much greater than the consequences caused by the occasional use of privilege by the Lord of a country."
"Then, the real power of the holy realm..." Xiu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head very surely and said, "It is about formulating laws that are beneficial to him. For example, a samurai sacred realm can formulate laws that prohibit all magic in his own realm. Since it is a law realm, it is supreme and no one can break any artifact. In this way, it is probably not enough for a sacred warrior to massacre a sacred realm warrior. Well, although you cannot break the laws by yourself, the holy realm is already invincible by simply formulating laws that are beneficial to him."
"It's true. But things are not that simple. Laws also have coverage differences. The Forbidden Demon Realm belongs to a high coverage law, which requires that it cannot be used for all magic, and consumes a lot of power on the domain. Moreover, it is only effective for magicians, and if it is used for warriors, it has no meaning to say. Therefore, most holy realms will not choose a field of forbidden Demon or forbidden fighting spirit. For the Holy realm, it will be much more practical to formulate a low coverage law for its own weaknesses. For example, the use of certain single spells, or combat skills or a certain way of fighting is prohibited, etc."
"So that's the case. No wonder the Holy Lands never want others to know the secrets of the realm."
"Once a domain is created, it must be formulated for it. After the rules are formulated, it cannot be changed easily. Therefore, the laws of each sacred realm are different. These laws can protect themselves to the greatest extent and improve their strength, but at the same time, there will inevitably be loopholes. Especially the low-coverage laws, there will inevitably be loopholes. If you are known, you may attack this kind of loophole. In this way, even the sacred realm will be defeated. So you can know what the domain is, but you should never want to know what laws a certain sacred realm has formulated for its own laws. Unless you survive in the battle with him."
For example, Lancelot, Souyi thought.
He finally understood why Lancelot survived from the hands of that sanctuary.
The Sanctuary of the Barnes family is a Samurai Sanctuary. The rules of this Samurai Sanctuary are probably a low-coverage area, and it is very likely that it will not have much impact on warriors like Lancelot. The power of the Sanctuary itself is limited to the power of the Star Power.
So although Lancelot was defeated, he could survive by chance.
If he challenges a magic sanctuary, and the other party has a rule domain that prohibits combat skills or fighting spirit, then Lancelot doesn't want to leave alive. No one can escape the rules of the domain, and even the sanctuary of the creation domain itself is no exception.
To put it bluntly, the so-called holy realm is that after the holy realm has the power to formulate rules, they should create a combat field that suits them the most appropriate. But they are just as effective as possible, and it is impossible to target all opponents.
According to Isado and Naper, the use of the domain requires the consumption of domain power. This domain power is born from the qualitative change of the overflowing power of the Holy Realm, so it is probably not easy to generate. Therefore, the powerful people in the Holy Realm also need to practice, but they practice the domain, accumulate as much as possible to maintain the domain power for a long time, and at the same time try to choose a law that consumes less domain power for formulation. After all, the wider the coverage of the law and the larger the area, the greater the domain power consumed. In non-essential moments, the domain power will not be easily used.
"Isador; Naper, I'm glad you told me this, it relieved a confusion in my heart." Shuyi bowed to Isador; Naper.
"You're welcome, Shuiglair, I hope you can understand that even the realm itself is a secret. You must know that every holy realm will inevitably have enemies. If the secret of the realm spreads, many people will try to find ways to defeat the realm. Even if a holy realm does not tell others what the realm law is, that doesn't mean you can't guess. Enemies are often the ones who know you the most. As long as you know the meaning of the realm existence, you can often guess what the other party's domain rules may be. Once it is made public, the people of the holy realm will face endless troubles."
"I understand. It's like you are a magical holy land. For most magicians, they are never afraid of facing countless enemies, but they are very concerned about one or two powerful samurai. Therefore, I can guess that the rule domain you set is mostly targeted at warriors. In this way, the ones that can really threaten you are probably other magicians. And if you choose a low-coverage domain and are guessed what kind of law restrictions are, then even warriors may pose a threat to you."
Isador; Naper smiled: "So if you are my enemy, you can find a way to deal with me in this regard. Even if you do nothing, just spread this matter... Although I may not be afraid, it will cause some trouble to me."
"I am now beginning to thank you, Isador; Elder Naper, you can tell me such a great secret. No wonder the Holy Lands have agreed that the secrets of the relevant realms will never be revealed."
"There is no secret in this world that will never be revealed, but those who know the inside story know how to control their mouths."
"You are right, Lord Elder, and I do not intend to be exceptional to this issue."
"I believe in you, Shio Glair. Although you are young, your intelligence is very mature."
"Then, the elder elder, what will happen if two holy domains fight and the two domains fight?"
"There are different or the same nature, coexist. The opposite nature, eliminate."
"The last question is, is there any Sanctuary Powerful Man who can transcend the restrictions on himself by the domain rules?"
Isador; Naper pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. If so, it's also... above the holy land."
