When D 'Idarion heard the word, he was stunned for a moment. Then, the president of the Sorcerer's Association repeated it in a puzzled tone. "Mimicry magic?"
The young man nodded.
"But wasn't it proven to be a dead end more than a hundred years ago?" D 'Idarion scratched his head. "How did that period of history go? Oh, yes, it's called the Lost Decade, right? At that time, all the sorcerers focused their research on mimicry magic. As a result, not only did they not make any progress, but the research on other subjects also stagnated. In the end, the entire magic world did not make any progress during that decade …"
"That's because everyone chose the wrong direction. The Ancestral Power of the Orcs and the magic used by the sorcerers are two completely different things. There's almost no connection between the two." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor shook his head and then added, "You can't turn water into oil out of thin air, but you can turn water into ice through scientific methods. This is what Tobias once said."
"Wait a minute, but this research direction was scientifically proven at that time. It's also widely accepted by the magic world. Divine arts, alchemy, Ancestral Power, and physical potential … Among these power systems, the Ancestral Power is the closest to magic, whether it's the method of action or the effect. So, it's also the most likely direction to succeed in mimicry magic. If this path doesn't work, then there's no reason that the other paths won't work."
This time, Rob did not speak. Instead, he waved his staff. Sometimes, words were useless. Perhaps only by seeing it with one's own eyes could one try to believe it.
At the next moment, a golden spear appeared in the air.
"This is … the sixth-grade light magic, Perforation Spear? No, no, I can't feel the existence of magical elements nearby at all. Instead, this fluctuation feels very familiar. What the hell, is this holy power? " D 'Idarion was really taken aback this time. "Are you kidding me? When did you join the church? How did you suddenly mix with those swindlers?"
"I didn't join the church. This magic is called Projection – Longinus Reverse Cross Spear," explained the future Supreme Magus Your Honor.
"Wait a minute, this is mimicry magic?" The president of the Sorcerer Association took a deep breath. "You're a little too bold. You actually chose theurgy as your research direction. You know it yourself. Kidnapping an archbishop is one thing. It sounds serious, but the church will only be angry for a day or two. What you're doing now is subverting the foundation of the temple. If those guys find out about this, it might cause a war between the sorcerers and the clergy."
The Sorcerer Association's president gasped. "Although there's a lot of nonsense in the Holy Bible, there's only one useful thing — the exchange of faith and divine power. This is also a method that the gods use to win over their believers. Hmm, it's a bit similar to the dwarfs' alchemy rules, but this time, it's completely up to the seller. The gods require their believers to worship and serve them, and give a small group of believers the purest of their faith their own divine power as a reward. However, this transaction is very unfair. Most ordinary believers can't get divine power, and the standard of judging the purity of faith is ambiguous. People like Morteris can easily advance to level 8, but some ascetics with strong faith can only stay at level 1 for their entire lives. No one can explain the mechanism behind this. In this transaction, the believers are always the weaker party. All they can do is to work harder to worship and serve the gods. The reason why all of this has been going on until now is because of the uniqueness of divine power."
"There's no other way for believers to learn and master theurgy other than to offer their faith. It's like there's only one fried noodle shop in front of your house. If you want to eat fried noodles, no matter how good it is, no matter how outrageous the price is, you can only pinch your nose and eat it. If one day, a new fried noodle shop suddenly opens not far away, and the taste of the two shops is the same, but the price of the second shop is more reasonable. Once the residents in the neighborhood realize this, the business of the first fried noodle shop will decline, and a large number of customers will be lost."
D 'Idarion looked at the young man opposite him, and his expression became serious. "And what you're doing now is the second fried noodle shop."
"I haven't told anyone about this except you," the young man said calmly.
The president of the Sorcerer Association frowned. "What are you trying to do? Is it because of the Bretton girl? Are you planning for the worst? Once the conflict between her and the church can't be reconciled, you're going to destroy the temple? Are you going to use this method to destroy its foundation? "
"I started studying mimicry magic before I left the Royal College of Magic and Magic," said the future Supreme Sorcerer Your Honor.
D 'Idarion was startled. "Huh? What about the teacher … "
"The teacher doesn't know yet." Rob paused for a second. "In fact, I've completed the first phase of the research before I left the school, and now I'm working on the second phase. But I need your help if I want to continue. I can't conduct some large-scale experiments alone, and I don't have some rare materials. As you can see, I need a bigger and more professional laboratory. By the way, the new laboratory should be safe and secretive."
"You … you're really not polite at all," the man said. The man was annoyed. "Forget about the materials, you even have the nerve to ask me to prepare the laboratory. Well, it's not that I can't help you, but I need a more adequate and detailed reason. Apart from emotional factors, why do you suddenly take such a huge risk to continue this research?"
Your Honor, the future Supreme Sorcerer, thought for a moment. "How much do you know about the Endless Forest?"
"The Endless Forest?" D 'Idarion did not know why the topic suddenly changed. He raised his eyebrows. "The place where a dungeon was discovered not long ago?"
