Father Mavie

Chapter 177 The Mystery of Magic (Please Subscribe!!!)
When Mavi returned to the captain's cabin, Junia had already fallen asleep covered with a quilt, and Levin was sitting behind a nearly two-meter-wide desk, looking through the dictionary with Fat Orange and Little Black with the help of the faint light of a kerosene lamp.

Edward never used a bed to sleep, and I don't know why he would abandon the soft and comfortable mattress. He had to become a bat and hang from the ceiling, maybe
This is the habit of blood race.

Mavi didn't know either.

"Boss, you are back."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Levin raised his head, took off his glasses, rubbed his dazed head and asked, "How's the situation?"

"everything is normal."

Ma Wei gently closed the heavy iron door, sat down at the table, glanced at the two bowls of suspicious soup in the corner, "Brother Sergey sent it?"

"Well, they say this is the cold-dispelling soup from my hometown. I drank it to warm my body. It tastes a little weird, but it's not bad. It has meat and pumpkin in it. The goddess is not interested. I'll save a bowl for you."

"I'm not hungry, you should drink it all." Ma Wei took out a mint leaf and chewed it in his mouth, and said absently.

"Just now I looked through the window"

Looking around, Levin lowered his voice: "I saw you talking with Her Highness Katerina at the bow of the boat for a long time, what are you talking about?"

"She said that there was an eyeliner planted by King Paul I around her, and she wanted to use this voyage to find out."

"What, is the inner ghost on board?!"

"Not sure, but there is a high probability that they will not be there." Ma Wei said: "Not to mention that these crew members were carefully selected by Katerina, just the sea voyage can't send messages, and it is enough to report the situation as soon as possible. It was prohibitive, so Katerina speculated that the culprit was probably someone else."

"Then how did she use this voyage to find the other party?" Levin wondered: "She is on the boat, 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 out, can't we determine a rough range?"

"So that's how it is." Levin nodded, "On this matter, you shouldn't be able to talk for more than half an hour, right?"

"She also told me some secrets about magic."

Hearing this, Levin immediately became interested, and the fat orange and little black cheered up and cast their gazes.

"Among the books preserved by the Apocalypse Church, there is a record of magic transcribed by later generations. It records that there are three main types of magic."

Mavi chewed and said, "They are ancient magic, main god magic, and natural magic. Generally speaking, they can be called general-purpose, special-purpose, and restricted magic."

"What do you mean?"

"Ancient magic was developed and created by human beings. Since many years ago, human beings began to study occultism and tried to build and create magic circles. There are no restrictions on the use of these magics, as long as they have the gift of the gods, they can be used."

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. Besides us, followers of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate and God of Wisdom can also use them. This is the crystallization of human wisdom."

"In order to preserve magic for a long time and use it better, well, this belongs to material science. In short, the sages integrated magic circles into gems or some precious objects to prevent them from being destroyed."

Who would have trouble with treasure?

For example, Levin, he picked up an ordinary broken stone on the street, and he might have thrown it into a corner, but if he picked up a dazzling gemstone, he would definitely keep it safe.

Even after countless transactions and changes of ownership in the future, the probability of gemstones remaining is far higher than other worthless items.

This is a question of probability and psychology.

"What about the Lord God's magic?" Levin asked, "We have heard this name more than once."

"The magic of the main god is actually the magic that was born when the gods awakened." Ma Wei took out the gold ring that he took off from Bishop Fowler. Believers of His gift can use it."

"Wake up?"

Levin looked at Junia, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and widened his eyes: "Can the goddess still wake up?"

"This is recorded in the classics, but the specific way and method of awakening are still unclear." Ma Wei sighed: "The records of magic handwritten by later generations are not complete, and more than half of the pages are lost."

"Would it know something?" Levin raised his eyebrows at the bat hanging from the ceiling.

"You mean the Blood Race Secret Code?" Ma Wei shook his head and said: "I asked before, the Blood Race Secret Code only records things that are beneficial to the Blood Race, such as the means that the enemy may use, the magic that the Blood Race uses, and the awakening method of human gods How could it be recorded in it?"

"What about natural magic? I've never heard that name before."

"As the name suggests, natural magic is a giant magic circle activated by using terrain, astrology or other special conditions. This kind of magic is usually born naturally and requires a huge amount of power to activate. It must also use a specific flow direction and node connection. 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 that there is a natural magic circle?" Levin blinked: "Such a powerful thing, once activated, it should be very powerful!"

"It is powerful, but the terrain of nature has been changing subtly. It may be that 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 there were gods who did exist many years ago, but they fell silent for some reason."

Recalling the murals they saw in the Black Fort of the Blood Race, combined with the classics preserved by the Apocalypse God Sect, I dare not say anything else, the era dominated by gods must have existed, this is beyond doubt.

"The gods are so powerful, how did they get overthrown?" Levin wondered, "Could it be the power of science? But hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were no steam engines, so how could they defeat the gods?"

"Alchemy," Ma Wei said suddenly.

"what?"

Levin was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew alchemy, a mystical field that couldn't be more ancient, but could alchemy compete with the gods?

"Alchemy is the concentration of human wisdom. This is just my speculation. I'm not sure." Ma Weisi pondered: "As far as I know, alchemy includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials, philosophy, spirit, language, etc. Ten complicated disciplines, if these things are gathered together, and then given the gift of the gods... maybe they can really exert special and powerful power."

Alchemy is just a name for mysticism. In the torrent of history, there are similar cultural crystallizations all over the world and in various countries. It is complicated and magnificent, and it is a field that most people cannot reach.

Since they have existed and been handed down to this day, it shows that they occupy a high enough historical and cultural status and have played an indelible role in human development.

Isn't even the science that people call science a subject of mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.?
Looking at the essence through appearances, the most different thing between science and alchemy is that science has no mysterious things, it is all analysis and calculation, but these missing, mysterious things
Isn't that what the world they live in has?
