Varantine, who was sitting next to Vaharall, clenched his right fist, on which the milky white light was flowing. Obviously, he was very angry at Lucien Evans, the evil sorcerer who had committed blasphemy against God.
Seeing their reaction, Philibell, the Grand Cardinal with a thick white beard, smiled and handed over another report, "Vaharall, Varantine, this is the report from the first day, and this is the report from the second and the third day. Don't worry too much about Lucien Evans. It's just a synthetic carbamide. Do you really think that the substance in feces is a living substance? "
After the several popes had improved the divine spells, the Grand Cardinals could more or less understand the arcana papers.
Puzzled, Vaharall took over the report from Philibell and started to read it carefully. The report was full of discussions on the definition of carbamide and the Life Force Theory. Obviously, the Necromancers' arguments had the upper hand, while the arcanists who were good at elemental magic could not come up with any more solid and reliable evidence.
"It's not as bad as we thought. It's God's blessing," said Philibell as he drew a cross in front of his chest.
Vaharall, who was the first to finish reading the book, nodded. "In fact, we shouldn't regard the filthy carbamide as a gift from God. We should also improve the definition of carbamide in the Holy Bible as soon as possible."
"Then there's no need for us to take such a great risk by sending out pious night watchers who are willing to sacrifice everything for the glory of God to kill Lucien Evans. Tell the inquisitors in Holm, Colette and other major parishes to keep a close eye on Lucien Evans. We'll take action when there's a chance. "
Although Varantine was sent here by the pope to kill the evil sorcerer, he also knew that in Holm and other countries, the Congress of Magic had completely suppressed the Church. Unless the Church could mobilize most of the Grand Cardinals, the North Church, the kingdom of evil gods near the Dark Mountain Range, the dark creatures in the Dark Mountain Range, and the ancient sorcerers would have a chance to attack the Church. Therefore, Varantine and Vaharall both agreed with Philibell's suggestion that they would not stir up any big trouble after learning that the Congress of Magic had not made any progress in the study of Nature Divine Spells.
Lucien's experiment of synthesizing carbamide was like throwing a huge rock into the calming situation. The two devout believers, Varantine and Vaharall, once again reignited the flame of defending the majesty of the Lord. However, the subsequent change extinguished their adventurous spirit and they continued to fight steadily.
"I agree with Varantine's suggestion, but this kind of arcana genius rarely leaves Allyn and Renstadt before becoming a middle-rank sorcerer, so there's basically no chance to get rid of him." Philibell was the one who knew the Congress of Magic's way of doing things the best among all the grand cardinals.
At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door of the study.
"Come in." Through his godly eyes, Philibell saw a panic-stricken priest standing at the door. The power of holy light in his body was fluctuating violently, as if it would devour him at any time.
The priest pushed the door open, but he did not salute to the three grand cardinals, instead, he said in a hurry, "Mr. Philibell, this is the report from this morning. They took a great risk to send it out in advance."
"Calm down. Don't doubt the Lord. Don't doubt the omniscience of the Lord." Philibell's voice was so soft and soothing that it seemed to soothe the priest's bewilderment and fear.
The priest kept drawing a cross in front of his chest, trying to calm down the uncontrollable power of the Lord.
Philibell took over the report with a bad feeling and started to read the first page with the calmest attitude.
Experiment of Synthesizing a Fatty Acid with Charcoal and Other Non-Living Substances through a Series of Alchemical Reactions, by Felipe Carneiro.
In the introduction of the paper, Felipe proudly and straightforwardly wrote, "Through this experiment, I think I can announce to all sorcerers that the Life Force Theory has completely retired from the stage of arcana development!"
After reading the experiment designs, Philibell, who had been living in the parish of Holm for a long time, also shouted, "This is blasphemy! This is a direct challenge to the majesty of the Lord! Felipe must be eliminated immediately! "
Philibell's chin, which was full of white beard, trembled violently as his voice became louder and louder. It seemed that Philibell wanted to go to Sariva, Heidler, or Allyn to eliminate Felipe regardless of his identity. As for Lucien Evans and his insignificant experiment, Philibell had completely forgotten about it.
Vaharall, the rough and bold man, took over the report and read it carefully. Then he punched on Philibell's desk heavily. Under the dim light, the desk was completely destroyed. "How can a mortal pry into the realm of God? This is a blasphemer who must be punished at all costs!"
If Vaharall was not a legendary Knight whose power came from the Blessing of God, his soul would have already been hurt by the shaking of his faith.
"First, we need to confirm the authenticity of this paper." Varantine did not read the report, but said calmly while drawing a cross in front of his chest.
If a paper could shake the faith of the powerful figures of the Church, the Congress of Magic would have created countless fake papers every year to defeat the enemy. Basically, every pastor had the ability to complete the experiment according to the paper, as long as they had the similar experiment instruments and divine circles in advance.
"Block this paper. We can't leak it to the ordinary cardinals and pastors like what happened with the electromagnetic wave and the holy light." Philibell closed his eyes tiredly, "This is a test from the Lord. Whether our faith is pious or not, we can preach to them after we find the loopholes in the experiment."
Philibell, who had been the Grand Cardinal of Holm for almost a hundred years, had experienced many shocks. Therefore, he did not lose control of his holy soul and the holy light. If it were other cardinals who had never faced such shocks, their souls would have been burned by the holy light after reading the paper.
"All glory to the Lord, only truth lives forever!" Vaharall, Varantine and the other pastor prayed together. They kept telling themselves that even though non-living substances could synthesize fatty acids, it was also because of the Lord's omniscience and omnipotence. It was just that they did not know what the Lord's test was.
After praying, Varantine said in a low voice, "Cardinal Philibell, I request you to send a few pious night watchers to assassinate Felipe. If there's a chance, we need to purify Lucien Evans as well. If there's no chance, we'll wait for another chance. "
The reason why Varantine mentioned the pious night watchers was that this mission was almost a one-way trip. Even if they could assassinate Felipe with the help of the spies, there was no way they could survive with so many senior-rank sorcerers and archmages around, not to mention that there were several grand arcanists among them. Normally, the incorporated night watchers would not be willing to sacrifice themselves. If they were forced to do this, they would be forced to join the Church.
"You and Vaharall will be in charge of this mission. I'll contact the nobles and ask the churches to be more alert in case the Congress of Magic retaliates." Philibell calmed down and said.
…
Holding the report in his hand, Menshak's body turned into rotten meat and fell to the ground as if it could not withstand the impact. However, the Soul Flame in his eyes did not go out.
"I just want to read the debate on how to defeat the elemental sorcerers. What is this?"
"Human Life Mechanics is really wrong. It's really wrong …"
"Even Felipe, a genius in the school of Necromancy, abandoned it. Was he too arrogant, or was it really wrong …"
"The experiment design seems to be fine, but I don't dare to verify it."
Menshak suddenly howled in agony. His body emitted crisp popping sounds. This was a sign that he was no longer able to control his refined body.
"So, all the research I've done in the past hundreds of years was built on mistakes?!"
"So, my whole life is a mistake?!"
"But if it's a mistake, why can I live for so long? Why can I turn into a Lich? Why can I improve my magic power and learn all kinds of spells? "
Menshak's self-denial clashed strongly with his past experiences. Menshak's cognitive world showed signs of collapsing.
Pieces of rotten meat fell to the ground, and white bones fell to the ground. What was left of Menshak was a white skull floating in the air. The Soul Flame in his eyes was burning his skull.
"Finally, it's stabilized. Luckily, I had my doubts before, and Felipe's experiment results are trustworthy. Since Felipe, a guy who always believed in the Life Force Theory, could abandon his past knowledge and start anew, why can't I? Since the beginning of the school of Necromancy, the basic theory has been overturned three times by my own people, and each time, I can make great progress. Why can't I accept it? The school of Necromancy is a school full of vitality and can correct its own mistakes. Why should I despair? "
Compared to the Life Force Theory being overturned by the despicable elemental sorcerers, it seemed to be more acceptable for Menshak to be corrected by the necromancers themselves. At least, he felt that the road ahead was not hopeless. At least, he understood that the Life Force Theory was not just wrong. On the surface, the Life Force Theory was the same as the truth. What he needed to do now was to explore its essence.
Menshak sighed and turned to the second page. The comments of Pesor, Tina-Timos, Rogelio, and other senior members of the Hand of Paleness on this experiment appeared:
"This is a great and outstanding experiment. The genius Felipe has freed us from the mistakes of the Life Force Theory, and it indicates that we will step onto a more correct and brighter path." — Pesor.
"Without a doubt, Felipe is a real arcana genius. He has blown away the dark clouds that have been hanging over us necromancers for so many years. Necromancers, please think about why you are stagnant, why can't you make a breakthrough and become a more powerful sorcerer? It's because the foundation is wrong. As long as we correct it, our future will be broader and smoother! "— Tina-Timos.
"This is a groundbreaking, important, and subversive experiment. Felipe has shown us the endless spirit of the necromancers to explore the mysteries of life. He has made us accept the end of the Life Force Theory, because there is a broader field that is closer to the truth in front of us! We can't deny ourselves. We can accept our mistakes and explore new directions! "— Rogelio.
The big shots praised Felipe and the school of Necromancy. Their one-sided attitude made the necromancers slowly accept the fact that the Life Force Theory had been overthrown.
This was the power of authority!
The less stubborn necromancers' meditation environment started to stabilize, but not all of them could abandon the past. Although many extremely conservative necromancers did not die, they knew that their meditation environment was full of holes and it was hard for them to make any further progress. Therefore, they focused their hatred on Felipe. What a traitor!
… …
In a magic tower in the city of Heidler, an old man in the robe of the ancient Magic Empire looked at the report in his hand and shouted angrily, "It's impossible!"
Then, with a loud bang, his head completely exploded, and his body fell to the ground. In the secret chamber of the magic tower, a phylactery made of countless rare magic gems also cracked. Then, an old man's voice came out, "Luckily, I knew that Felipe was close to success through Traquair, or I wouldn't even be able to revive myself through the phylactery. Felipe, Rogelio, Professor, Lucien Evans, I will not let you go! "
In the manor of Sariva, Felipe was sitting opposite to Rogelio. He took a sip of the red wine and looked at the direction of Heidler. He sneered in his mind, "Damn old guys, you know what you're going to get this time?"
… …
Morris, who had just arrived at the manor, sighed in disappointment, "It's too bad that we're not the ones who can provide the decisive evidence, or the Hand of Paleness would suffer a great loss."
"That's good, in case the power of the Congress is greatly weakened." Raventi was more optimistic, and he was more satisfied that a wrong theory had been overturned. Then, he looked at Lucien and asked, "Evans, let me ask you seriously, do you really not know about Life Force Theory, or are you just pretending? Did you do this on purpose? "
"Yes, Mr. Raventi." Lucien answered frankly, and then he took out the Holm Crown ring given to him by Natasha, "I finished this experiment before I came to the Congress."
After being recognized by Felipe, Lucien decided to confess to the leaders of the Will of Elements in case Felipe blackmailed him. The more lies he told, the harder it would be for him to hide. Sometimes, it was better to confess than to be found out.
Since Lucien had the support of the organization, he could be more generous.
"Professor?" Gaston, who had hunted down Felipe because of this, immediately thought of Lucien's identity.
Morris looked at the ring and slightly sighed, "This reminds me of little Meredith. Evans, you've been studying arcana since you were in the City of Psalm? "
"Yes, I inherited the knowledge of a witch, and she knew a member of the Congress of Magic, so she left some of the knowledge to me." Lucien smiled. Raventi, Morris, and Gaston looked kind, and they did not ask him about what he had hidden before. After all, Lucien's identity was a bit special, and it was normal for him to hide it. It was already praiseworthy that he could tell them the truth after they trusted him.
Then, Lucien said seriously, "Gentlemen, in fact, I also finished an experiment." If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation. "
