"oh?"

Meng Chao asked with great interest, "Are there many people who are unwilling to serve the Holy Light in the Land of Holy Light?"

"Of course, although the Holy Light shines on every inch of land and every living thing in the world, there are still people who are unwilling to admit that they are just a beam of light or even an phantom; there are still people who are unwilling to accept the fooling and manipulation of the Temple of Holy Light.

, still exists; there are still people who are unwilling to pray to the Holy Light and become thoughtless slaves who can only use a little bit of pitiful power!"

When Ice Storm said this, his eyes gradually brightened, his chest stood up high, and he said with a bit of pride, "For example, let's take the wizard!

"Wizards and magicians are different, you know?"

"Well..."

Meng Chao gently pressed his temples, which were beating wildly.

Through the words of the ice storm, the fragments of past life memories deep in the brain are constantly unlocked and pieced together.

As a ghost assassin in his previous life, one of his very important tasks in sneaking into the Land of Holy Light was to secretly contact, contact and support the opponents of the Holy Light Temple.

Wizards and witches are one of the most important opposition forces within the Holy Light camp.

Therefore, with the introduction of Ice Storm, Meng Chao's understanding of wizards from his previous life gradually emerged in the depths of his mind.

Ice Storm was right.

On the surface, wizards and magicians possess incredible extraordinary powers. They can condense ice and fire at will, crush rock and steel, implant all kinds of strange illusions deep in the brains of intelligent beings, and even summon blazing monsters.

A rain of meteorites instantly destroyed a mechanized army armed to the teeth.

But their sources of power are different.

The source of the magician's power is the Holy Light.

In fact, "magicians" are just the name people on earth give to these armed personnel affiliated with the Temple of Holy Light.

Because when they exert their extraordinary power, the colorful sound and light effects they create are very similar to the magic depicted in fantasy literary works of the Earth Age.

Therefore, when meeting these extraordinary professionals for the first time, people on earth will temporarily use "magician" as their code name.

After the Dragon City Civilization was involved in the war between other worlds and became the enemy of the Holy Light camp, it was naturally impossible to recognize the existence of the Holy Light that "creates all things, rules all things, and illuminates all things".

It just so happens that in Turan, these extraordinary professionals in the Temple of Holy Light are called "minions of the light demon".

The temporary code name "Magician" has been used ever since.

In fact, it really needs to be analyzed according to the semantics of Holy Light Language.

The proper noun for "magician" in Holy Light Language consists of three roots.

The first root represents "holy light", the second root represents "use", and the third root represents "protection".

Taken together, it probably means "a person who uses the power of the Holy Light and protects the power of the Holy Light."

As for the strongholds used by the Temple of Holy Light to rule the entire land, those magic towers that rise from the ground, shine brightly, and are filled with extraordinary power. It is more accurate to translate them as "Holy Light Towers".

According to the Holy Light Temple, only those who believe in the Holy Light, obey the Holy Light, serve the Holy Light, and have a clear heart without any doubt or malice are qualified to use the power that the Holy Light bestows on all things in the world.

The stronger the belief in the Holy Light, the more powerful the power of the Holy Light that can be used, and the more complex, advanced, and wider the coverage of magic can be performed.

Those unclean people, lost people and even heretics who rebel against the Holy Light are absolutely not qualified to perform magic.

Therefore, it is different from the extraordinary warriors of Dragon City and the orc warriors of Turanze, who pay more attention to strengthening their muscles and bones and sharpening their souls.

Magicians pay more attention to meditation and prayer, as well as completing various tasks issued by the Holy Light Temple to prove their loyalty and piety to the Holy Light.

In a word, all power comes from the Holy Light, and magicians are just the carriers of the Holy Light.

Without devout faith, no matter how proficient you are in chanting and depicting various runes, and no matter how abundant the spellcasting materials you prepare, even the most basic magic like "illumination" will be impossible to cast.

For the past ten thousand years, the people under the rule of the Holy Light Temple have always thought this way.

Until the last one or two thousand years.

Such extremely evil professions as "wizards" and "witches" appeared.

According to legend, they are all degenerates without faith.

It is a humanoid skin filled with greed and evil. It is a demon formed by the remaining shadows after the holy light shines on all things. It is a monster with invisible horns and hooves.

I don’t know what loopholes these heretics, demons and monsters took advantage of.

In short, they can use part of the magic without praying to the Holy Light!

To the Holy Light Temple and all magicians, the existence of wizards and witches is really no less a major threat than the high-level orcs and abyssal demons.

If the human race does not need to pray, does not need to kneel on the ground in fear, and worship the Holy Light, it can exert the power to destroy the world.

So, what is the meaning of prayer?

Why do magicians and holy light priests accept the awe, obedience and worship of kings, knights and lamb-like people?

Why does the Holy Light Temple stand above all kingdoms, noble fiefs and autonomous territories, representing the Holy Light and controlling the entire land?

From this level.

Many alien races surrounding the Land of Holy Light, including high-level orcs, have scars and abscesses growing on their skin. Even if they fester and spread, they will not be fatal for the time being.

The existence of wizards is a serious threat that is very likely to subvert the ruling order of the Holy Light Temple.

No wonder, in Meng Chao's impression, the Holy Light camp's attitude toward its internal enemy wizards and witches was a hundred times harsher than that of the Chaos camp.

You know, even the people on Earth in their previous lives were declared by the Temple of Holy Light as "Alien Disasters", equivalent to existences such as global public enemies.

But as individuals, there is room for temporary cooperation and compromise between the Earth and the Holy Light Human Race.

For example, Zuo Haoran, Meng Chao’s high school monitor in his previous life.

Just after the entire front collapsed, he secretly carried a large amount of Earth's secrets and defected to the Holy Light camp.

It seems that before accepting the sanctions, he received some preferential treatment and lived a comfortable life for a period of time.

But if wizards and witches surrender, they will never enjoy such preferential treatment.

In all likelihood, they will be tied to the stake, burned carefully with a slow fire until they are charred, and then slowly ground into ashes with an ax and hammer.

Even if there is a chance to survive, a silver needle shining with holy light will be poked into the brain along the nostril or the corner of the eye. Through shaking and stirring, the brain tissue will be completely destroyed, turning into a puppet without a thought, a confused idiot who only knows how to obey.

Ordered by the Temple of Holy Light, a machine that hunts its former companions.

Of course, not many wizards and witches would surrender to the Temple of Holy Light.

In the memory fragments of Meng Chao's past life, their will to resist is much higher than even that of earthlings and advanced orcs.

Therefore, they will never let go of any opportunity that may reveal the double lies of the Holy Light Temple and dismantle the foundation of the Holy Light Temple's rule.

Meng Chao seemed to understand why Ice Storm wanted to go deep into the Holy Mountain of Turan to find the remains of the big fireball.

Bing Storm's gaze gradually became profound, and his expression became slightly dazed, as if he was trapped in a long and painful memory.

She raised her right arm and stretched out her slender and white index finger.

Her arms were originally covered with a layer of soft fur.

Although the fur is extremely fine, it is crystal clear and elastic, and does not have a strong animalistic flavor like that of ordinary wolves, tigers and leopards.

At least, her identity as a female snow leopard warrior can be seen.

But now, Meng Chao was a little surprised to find that the hairs on her arms were gone and all had retracted into her body.

Instead, there was skin as thin as cicada wings, too pale.

The skin on her arms was dazzlingly white, so white that even the crisscrossing blood vessels and nerves underneath could be seen.

All the way up the wrist where blood vessels and nerves were entangled, Meng Chao saw Ice Storm's fingertips gradually emerge with a faint light, illuminating half of the cave within a radius of three to five meters, giving people a sense of warmth.

sense of security.

This is illumination.

It is an entry-level magic that almost all magicians and Holy Light Priests must learn.

But without pure blood, clear mind and firm faith, it is impossible and should not be displayed.

Meng Chao didn't know if Ice Storm had a "clarified mind".

But it is certain that except for her arms, the white fur on her body has not faded away, and there are two sharp canine teeth protruding from the corners of her mouth. She shows obvious animalistic characteristics. She definitely does not have "pure blood" that the Holy Light Temple can recognize.

"I think the Holy Light is bullshit, just like the so-called 'glory' of the advanced orcs, they are both a lie." Ice Storm said suddenly.

The holy light on her fingertips trembled slightly.

Just like a candlelight encountering a breeze, the flames suddenly grow bigger and smaller, and the flame flickers brighter and darker. As the breeze passes, it gradually stabilizes.

"look."

Ice Storm's eyes showed impulsive joy, "It seems that whether you can cast magic has nothing to do with whether you believe in the Holy Light."

Meng Chao nodded.

This "experiment" of Ice Storm may be like a treasonous mudslide to the natives who grow up in other worlds, especially the Land of Holy Light, with the effect of subverting their beliefs and destroying their three outlooks.

But for him, who comes from the earth, it belongs to the category of common sense and is not worthy of special excitement.

Meng Chao's calmness surprised Ice Storm.

You know, she originally wanted to see Meng Chao's unexpected and stunned expression!

Seeing that Meng Chao was unmoved, she couldn't help but said: "You don't find it strange at all?"

Meng Chao said: "Why should I be surprised?"

"this……"

Bing Storm was speechless, and after being stunned for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "I don't know, it's just that in the past, people who saw me perform magic were either horrified, shouting to kill, or overjoyed.

Crazy, extremely excited.

"They either regard me as a heinous monster who should never exist in this world; or they regard me as...evidence that can subvert the principles of magic and the way of Holy Light.

"It seems that no one has ever been as indifferent as you.
